NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, unaudited)
This report is a combined report of Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (“SBH”) and SB/RH Holdings, LLC (“SB/RH”) (collectively, the “Company”). The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements that follow include both consolidated SBH and SB/RH Notes, unless otherwise indicated below.

NOTE 1– BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
SBH’s and SB/RH’s fiscal year ends September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three and nine month periods included within this Quarterly Report for the Company are January 1,July 2, 2023 and January 2, 2022.July 3, 2022, respectively.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020- 04,2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which adds implementation guidance to clarify certain optional expedients in Topic 848. The adoptionadoptions did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations to enhance transparency about the use of supplier finance programs. Under the ASU, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. The amendments in ASU 2022-04 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those financial years, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

The ASPA also contains certain termination rights, including the right of either party to terminate the ASPA if the consummation of the acquisition has not occurred on or before December 8, 2022 (the “Termination Date”). Further, if the acquisition has not been consummated by the Termination Date and all conditions precedent to ASSA's obligation to consummate the acquisition have otherwise been satisfied except for one or more of the Antitrust Conditions, then ASSA would be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $350 million. On July 14, 2022, the parties entered into an amendment to the ASPA (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the Termination Date was extended to June 30, 2023. Except for the foregoing amendment to the Termination Date, the ASPA remains in full force and effect as written, including with respect to the termination fee of $350 million. The Company continues to engage with antitrust regulators in the regulatory review of the HHI transaction, and the extension is intended to provide the parties with additional time (to the extent needed) to satisfy the conditions related to receipt of governmental clearances. On September 15, 2022, the Department of Justice ("DOJ") filed a complaint seeking to enjoin the transaction and block the acquisition of the HHI division by ASSA. Both the Company and ASSA have stated their disagreement with the DOJ's concerns. On December 2, 2022, ASSA announced an agreement to sell its Emtek and the Smart Residential Business in the U.S. and Canada to Fortune Brands in response to competitive concerns raised by the DOJ in their complaint. The Company expects that the trial will occur in April 2023. The Company and ASSA will jointly defend the transaction in the litigation. The Company continues to recognize the HHI division as held for sale and as a component of our discontinued operations. The parties are committed to closing the HHI transaction, and the Company and ASSA both continue to expect that they will obtain all the required governmental clearances and will close the HHI transaction.

There were no triggering events or impairments of goodwill and intangible assets identified duringDuring the three month period ended January 1, 2023.July 2, 2023, the Company and H&G segment identified a triggering event for our Rejuvenate tradename attributable to a significant shift in consumer purchasing activity and retail inventory management efforts with certain retail customers within the quarter that make up a significant concentration of revenue for the brand and further reducing the anticipated near-term sales for the brand, resulting in the recognition of a $8.0 million impairment on the intangible asset. During the prior fiscal quarter, we had identified triggering events associated with the Rejuvenate tradename due to a shift in the projected timing and realization of long-term projected revenues and changes in strategic distribution opportunities, as well as a change in the amount and timing of product innovations being introduced to customers. As a result, the Company and H&G segment recognized a cumulative impairment loss of $56.0 million for the nine month period ended July 2, 2023 associated with the Rejuvenate tradename.
During the three month period ended July 2, 2023, the Company and HPC segment identified a triggering event for our PowerXL tradename intangible asset driven by the reduction in the sales from a decrease in distribution with retail customers, significant pricing adjustments and required incremental promotional spending activity resulting in a substantial shift in actual and projected future revenues for the brand, resulting in the recognition of an impairment on the intangible asset of $26.0 million. During the prior fiscal quarter, we had identified a triggering event associated with the PowerXL tradename driven by a decrease in realized sales due to the continuation of retail inventory reduction efforts, lowered consumer demand, increased competition, and adverse macro-economic factors. As a result, during the nine month period ended July 2, 2023, we recognized a cumulative impairment loss of $45.0 million associated with the PowerXL tradename. Additionally, during the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2023, the Company and HPC segment recognized a triggering event for our George Foreman tradename due to shifts in market demand for related product categories as well as a change in the Company's brand portfolio strategy and projected utilization of the tradename going forward, resulting in the recognition of an impairment on the intangible asset of $19.7 million.
Amortization expense from the intangible assets for the three month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 and January 2,July 3, 2022 was $10.4$10.5 million and $13.3$13.1 million, respectively; and for the nine month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 was $31.4 million and $39.9 million, respectively.

OurCredit Agreement
On June 20, 2023, following the close of the HHI divestiture, the Company repaid the $392.0 million outstanding balance on its term loans, which constitutes the repayment of all outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement, (ii) repaid $470.0 million of revolving loans that were drawn under the $600.0 million initial tranche of the Revolver Facility established under the Credit Agreement (the "Initial Revolving Credit Facility Tranche"), which constitutes the repayment of all outstanding revolving loans under such tranche and (iii) repayment of $245.0 million of revolving loans that are drawn under the $500.0 million incremental tranche of the Revolver Facility established under the Credit Agreement (the "Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Tranche"), which constitutes the repayment of all outstanding revolving loans under such tranche. Further, on June 23, 2023, the Company terminated all revolving loan commitments under the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Tranche while the revolving loan commitments under the Initial Revolving Credit Facility Tranche were not terminated. The Company recognized $8.6 million as interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2023 from the write-down of deferred financing costs and original issuance discount associated with the extinguishment of the Term Loan and termination of the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Tranche. As of July 2, 2023, our Revolver Facility has a total capacity of $1,100 million. Borrowings from the initial revolver capacity of $600 million are subjectwith a borrowing availability of $586.9 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $13.1 million.
On June 20, 2023, the Company entered into the fifth amendment to either adjustedthe Credit Agreement to transition from London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") borrowing rates used on borrowings from the Revolver Facility. Borrowings from the Revolver Facility are subject to adjusted SOFR plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum, or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum; and borrowings under the incremental revolver capacity of $500 million, per the third amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), are subject to Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% per annum or base rate plus margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.75%. Effective November 3, 2022, the applicable margin increased 25 bps resulting in an increase to the SOFR margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.00% per annum or base rate plus margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00%, with subsequent increases of 25 bps each 90-day anniversary after the initial step-up date.annum. The LIBOR borrowings are subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor, and the SOFR borrowings are subject to a 0.50%0.1% adjustment rate and a 0.75% SOFR floor. Our Revolver Facility allows for the LIBOR rate to be phased out and replaced with the SOFR, and therefore we do not anticipate a material impact by the expected upcoming LIBOR transition. We expect the transition from the LIBOR rate to SOFR will be effective no later than the end of June 2023 As a result of borrowings and payments under the Revolver Facility, the Company had borrowing availability of $252.5 million at January 1, 2023, net of outstanding letters of credit of $17.5 million.
The Term Loan Facility is subject to a rate per annum equal to either (1) the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to a 0.50% floor, adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin of 2.00% per annum or (2) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin of 1.00% per annum.
On November 17, 2022, the Company entered into the fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to temporarily increase the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio permitted to be no greater than 7.0 to 1.0 before returning to 6.0 to 1.0 at the earliest of (i) September 29, 2023, or (ii) 10 business days after the closing of the HHI divestiture or receipt of the related termination fee. The Company incurred $2.3 million in connection with the fourth amendment, which has been recognized as interest expense for the threenine month period ended January 1,July 2, 2023. The waiver remained in effect as of July 2, 2023 and expired 10 business days after the close of the HHI divestiture, subsequent to July 2, 2023. The maximum permitted consolidated total net leverage in subsequent periods will be 6.0 to 1.0.
Other

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVES
Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company principally in the management of its foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, Mexican Pesos, Pound Sterling, or U.S. Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to inventory purchases or the sale of product. Until the purchase or sale is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold or Net Sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At January 1,July 2, 2023, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through JuneDecember 2024. The derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $7.8$13.6 million, net of tax. At January 1,July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $320.1$331.6 million and $289.5 million, respectively.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVES (continued)
The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which were not significant as of January 1,July 2, 2023.
The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral because of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of January 1,July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, there was no cash collateral outstanding and no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions.
Net Investment Hedge
Spectrum Brands, Inc. has €425.0 million aggregate principleprincipal amount of 4.00% Notes designated as a non-derivative economic hedge, or net investment hedge, of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. The hedge effectiveness is measured on the beginning balance of the net investment and re-designated every three months. Any gains and losses attributable to the translation of the Euro denominated debt designated as net investment hedge are recognized as a component of foreign currency translation within AOCI, and gains and losses attributable to the translation of the undesignated portion are recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses within Other Non-Operating Expense (Income). Net gains or losses from the net investment hedge are reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of Euro denominated subsidiaries. As of January 1,July 2, 2023, the full principal amount was designated as a net investment hedge and considered fully effective. The following summarizes the unrealized gain (loss) from the net investment hedge recognized in Other Comprehensive Income for the three and nine month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 and January 2,July 3, 2022, pre-tax:

The fair value measurements of the Company’s debt represent non-active market exchanged traded securities which are valued at quoted input prices that are directly observable or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. See Note 9 – Debt for additional detail on outstanding debt. See Note 10 – Derivatives for additional detail on derivative assets and liabilities.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Share Repurchases
The Company has a share repurchase program that is executed through purchases made from time to time either inOn June 17, 2023, the open market or otherwise. On May 4, 2021, theCompany’s Board of Directors approved a $1 billion common stockthe termination of the Company’s existing share repurchase program and terminated the previously approvedauthorization of a new share repurchase program.program for up to $1.0 billion of Common Stock (the “Maximum Amount”). The authorization is effective for 36 months.new share repurchase program will be in effect from June 17, 2023 until the earlier of the Maximum Amount being repurchased thereunder or the suspension, termination or replacement of the program by the Company’s Board of Directors. As part of ourthe share repurchase programs,program, the Company has purchased treasury shares in open market purchases at market fair value along with participating in private purchases from Company employees, significant shareholders and beneficial interest owners at fair value.
On June 20, 2023, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”) with a third-party financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $500 million of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Company funded the share repurchases under the ASR Agreement, which are being made pursuant to the Company’s new $1.0 billion share repurchase program, with cash on-hand following the closing of the sale of the Company’s HHI segment. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $500.0 million to the financial institution at inception of the agreement and took delivery of 5.3 million shares, which represented 80% of the total shares the company expected to receive based on the market price at the time of the initial delivery. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. The fair value of the initial shares received of $400.0 million were recorded as a treasury stock transaction, with the remainder of $100.0 million recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Upon initial receipt of the shares, there was an immediate reduction in the weighted average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share. Upon settlement of the ASR agreement, the financial institution may deliver additional shares, or the Company may deliver shares, with the final number of shares delivered determined with reference to the volume weighted average price per share of our common stock over the term of the agreement, less a negotiated discount. The final settlement of the transaction under the agreement is expected to occur no later than December 20, 2023.

The Company recognizes share based compensation expense from the issuance of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), primarily under its Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP"). RSUs granted under the LTIP include time-based grants and performance-based grants. The Company regularly issues annual RSU grants under its LTIP during the first quarter of the fiscal year. Compensation cost is based on the fair value of the awards, as determined by the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the designated grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Time-based RSU awards provide for either three year cliff vesting or graded vesting depending upon the vesting conditions and forfeitures provided by the grant. Performance-based RSU awards are dependent upon achieving specified financial metrics (adjusted EBITDA, return on adjusted equity, and/or adjusted free cash flow) by the end of the three year vesting period. The Company assesses the probability of achievement of the performance conditions and recognizes expense for the awards based on the probable achievement of such metrics. Additionally, the Company regularly issues individual RSU awards under its equity plan to its Board members and individual employees for recognition, incentive, or retention purposes, when needed, which are primarily conditional upon time-based service conditions, valued based on the fair value of the awards as determined by the market price of the Company's share of common stock on the designated grant price date and recognized as a component of share-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. RSUs are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting with forfeitures recognized as they occur. RSUs have dividend equivalents credited to the recipient and are paid only to the extent the RSU vests and the related stock is issued. Shares issued upon exercise of RSUs are sourced from treasury shares when available.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 and January 2,July 3, 2022, was as follows:
Three Month Periods EndedThree Month Periods EndedNine Month Periods Ended

SB/RHSB/RH23.5 %34.5 %SB/RH(10.8)%34.9 %9.2 %28.6 %
The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and nine month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023, differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), certain nondeductible expenses, foreign currency impacts, state income taxes and foreign rates that differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate. TheDuring Fiscal 2023, the Company hashad U.S. net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL"), which dodid not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI iswas therefore 21%. During the nine month period ended July 2, 2023, the Company recorded a discrete $56.1 million tax benefit related to the impairment of goodwill and certain intangible assets.
The Company realized a U.S. taxable gain on the HHI divestiture entered into during the three month period ended July 2, 2023, which resulted in the utilization of all available U.S. federal and substantially all available U.S. state NOLs and credits. Certain NOLs could not be used due to limitations related to prior ownership changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
As a result of the HHI divestiture, the Company may be able to claim foreign tax credits and foreign-derived intangible income deductions in continuing operations in future periods.

As of January 1,July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, there was $1.0$505.7 million of U.S. federal income taxes payables and $2.7 million of U.S. federal income taxes receivable, fromrespectively, with its parent company on the SB/RH Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, calculated as if SB/RH were a separate taxpayer.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any additional matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.
Environmental Liability. The Company has realized commitments attributable to environmental remediation activities primarily associated with former manufacturing sites of the Company's HPC segment. In coordination with local and federal regulatory agencies, we have conducted testing on certain sites, which have resulted in the identification of contamination that has been attributed to historical activities at the properties, resulting in the realization of incremental costs to be assumed by the Company towards the remediation of these properties and the recognition of an environmental remediation liability. We have not conducted invasive testing at all sites and locations and have identified an environmental remediation liability to the extent such remediation requirements have been identified and are considered estimable.
As of January 1,July 2, 2023, there was an environmental remediation liability of $7.5$5.9 million, with $3.6$1.5 million included in Other Current Liabilities and $3.9$4.4 million included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As of September 30, 2022, there was an environmental remediation liability of $8.8 million, with $4.7 million included in Other Current Liabilities and $4.1 million included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
Product Liability. The Company may be named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product liability claims. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate for aggregate exposure for such liabilities based upon probable loss from loss reports, individual cases, and losses incurred but not reported. As of January 1,July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $3.1 million and $3.4 million in product liability, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Product Warranty. The Company recognizes an estimated liability for standard warrantywarranties on certain products when we recognize revenue on the sale of the warranted products. Estimated warranty costs incorporate replacement parts, products and delivery, and are recorded as a cost of goods sold at the time of product shipment based on historical and projected warranty claim rates, claims experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.4 million of warranty accruals as of January 1,July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Product Safety Recall. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the HPC segment initiated voluntary product recalls in collaboration with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC"), suspending sales of the affected products and issuing a stop sale with its customers. The Company has assessed the incremental costs attributable to the recall, including the anticipated returns from customers for existing retail inventory, write-off of inventory on hand, and other costs to facilitate the recall such as notification, shipping and handling, rework and destruction of affected products, as needed, and evaluated the probability of redemption. As a result, the Company recognized $8.8$6.2 million and $7.5 million as of January 1,July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, in Other Current Liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position associated with the costs for the recalls. Additionally, the Company has indemnification provisions that are contractually provided by third parties for the affected products and as a result the Company has also recognized $7.4$7.1 million and $4.7 million as of January 1,July 2, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, in Other Receivables on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position related to recovery from such indemnification provisions.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as the primary operating metric in evaluating the business and making operating decisions. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes:
StockShare based compensation costs consist of costs associated with long-term incentive compensation arrangements that generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. See Note 13 – Share Based Compensation for further details;
Incremental amounts attributable to strategic transactions and business development initiatives including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestitures of a business, costs to effect and facilitate a transaction, including such cost to integrate or separate the respective business. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards business development activities, incremental costs attributable to such transactions and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
Incremental amounts realized towards restructuring and optimization projects including, but not limited to, costs towards the development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations and improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenues, increase or maintain our current profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our ongoing performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards significant initiatives controlled by management, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives, indirect impact or disruption to operating performance during implementation, and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions the Company's business units excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations, including but not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain, and commercial operations. Amounts attributable to unallocated shared costs would be mitigated through subsequent strategic or restructuring initiatives, TSAs, elimination of extraneous costs, or re-allocations or absorption of existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations. See Note 2 – Divestitures for further details;
Non-cash purchase accounting adjustments recognized in earnings from continuing operations subsequent to an acquisition, including, but not limited to, the costs attributable to the step-up in inventory value, and the incremental value in operating lease assets with below market rent, among others;
Non-cash gain from the reduction in the contingent consideration liability recognized during the three month period ended January 1, 2023 associated with the Tristar Business acquisition in the prior year on February 18, 2022;year;
Non-cash asset impairments or write-offs realized and recognized in earnings from continuing operations;operations, including impairments from property, plant and equipment, operating and finance leases, and goodwill and other intangible assets. See Note 7 - Property Plant and Equipment and Note 8 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for further details;
Impact from the early settlement of foreign currency cash flow hedges in the prior year, resulting in subsequent assumed losses at the original stated maturities of foreign currency cash flow hedges in our EMEA region that were settled early in the prior year due to changes in the Company's legal entity organizational structure and forecasted purchasing strategy of HPC finished goods inventory within the region, resulting in the recognition of excluded gains in the prior year intended to mitigate costs through the year ending September 30, 2023;
Incremental costs recognized by the HPC segment attributable to the realization of product recalls initiated by the Company in the prior year. See Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies for further details;
Incremental reserves for non-recurring litigation or environmental remediation activity including the proposed settlement on outstanding litigation matters at our H&G divisionand HPC segments attributable to significant and unusual nonrecurring claimsmatters with no previous history or precedent with remeasurements during the three month period ended January 2, 2022;and any subsequent changes in estimate or remeasurement realized upon settlement; and
Other adjustments are primarily attributable to: (1) costs associated with Salus as they are not considered a component of the continuing commercial products company; (2) key executive severance related costs; (3) impairment charges from the exit of certain operating leases at our HPC segment; and (4)(3) insurable losses and cost recovery associated with hurricane damages at a key supplier of our Glofish business and loss realized from misapplied funds during the three and nine month periodperiods ended January 1,July 2, 2023.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
The following is management’s discussion of the financial results, liquidity and other key items related to our performance and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” are used to refer to Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("SBH") and SB/RH Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“SB/RH”), collectively.
Business Overview
The Company is a diversified global branded consumer products company.  We manage the businesses in three vertically integrated, product-focused segments: (i) Home and Personal Care (“HPC”), (ii) Global Pet Care (“GPC”), and (iii)(ii) Home and Garden (“H&G”), and (iii) Home and Personal Care (“HPC”).  The Company manufactures, markets and/or distributes its products globally in the North America (“NA”), Europe, Middle East & Africa (“EMEA”), Latin America (“LATAM”) and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) regions through a variety of trade channels, including retailers, wholesalers and distributors. We enjoy strong name recognition in our regions under our various brands and patented technologies across multiple product categories.  Global and geographic strategic initiatives and financial objectives are determined at the corporate level.  Each segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a president responsible for sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for all product lines within that segment, on a global basis. The segments are supported through center-led shared service operations and enabling functions consisting of finance and accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, supply chain, and commercial operations. See Note 17 – Segment Information included in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information pertaining to segments of continuing operations.

On September 8, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with ASSA ABLOY AB ("ASSA") to sell its HHI segment for cash proceeds of $4.3 billion, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Company's assets and liabilities associated with HHI have been classified as held for sale, and the respective operations have been classified as discontinued operations and reported separately for all periods presented. HHI consists of residential locksets and door hardware, including knobs, levers, deadbolts, handle sets, and electronic and connected locks under the Kwikset®, Weiser®, Baldwin®, Tell Manufacturing®, and EZSET® brands; kitchen and bath faucets and accessories under the Pfister® brand; and builders' hardware consisting of hinges, metal shapes, security hardware, rack and sliding door hardware, and gate hardware under the National Hardware® and FANAL® brands.

The License Agreement has a term ending June 30, 2025, including a sell-off period from April 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025, whereby the Company can continue to sell and distribute but no longer produce products subject to the License Agreement. Under the terms of the License Agreement, we agree to pay SBD royalties based on a percentage of sales, with minimum annual royalty payments of $15.0 million, with the exception of the minimum annual royalty will no longer be applied effective January 1, 2024, through the expiration of the agreement. The License Agreement also requires us to comply with maximum annual return rates for products. Subsequent to the completion of the License Agreement, there are no non-competition provisions or restrictions provided following its expiration. See Note 4 – Revenue Recognition included in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail on revenue concentration from B&D branded products.

Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Business Development Initiatives
The Company periodically evaluates strategic transactions that may result in the acquisition of a business or assets that qualify as a business combination, or a divestiture of a business or assets that may be recognized as either a component of continuing operations or discontinued operations, depending on the significance to the consolidated group. Acquisitions may impact the comparability of the consolidated or segment financial information with the inclusion of the operating results for the acquired business in periods subsequent to acquisition date, the inclusion of acquired assets, both tangible and intangible (including goodwill), and the related amortization, depreciation or other non-cash purchase accounting adjustments of acquired assets. Divestitures may impact the comparability of the consolidated or segment financial information with the recognition of an impairment loss when held for sale, gain or loss on disposition, or change in classification to discontinued operations for qualifying transactions. Moreover, the comparability of consolidated or segment financial information may be impacted by incremental costs to facilitate and effect such transactions and initiatives to integrate acquired business or separate divested operations and assets with the consolidated group. The following strategic transactions have been considered as having a significant impact on the comparability of the financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements and segment financial information.
Tristar Business Acquisition - On February 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the Tristar Business that includes a portfolio of home appliances and cookware products sold under the PowerXL®, Emeril, and Copper Chef® brands. The net assets and operating results of the Tristar Business are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and reported within the HPC reporting segment for the three and nine month periodperiods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, effective as of the transaction date. During the three month period ended January 1, 2023, theThe Company incurred incremental costs to combine and integrate the acquired business with the HPC segment, primarily towards the integration of systems and processes, merger of commercial operations and supply chain, professional fees to consolidate financial records, plus incremental retention costs for personnel supporting the transition and integration efforts. Costs attributable to the integration of the Tristar Business are projectingprojected to continue through the year ending September 30, 2023.
HHI Divestiture - On September 8, 2021, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with ASSA to sell its HHI segment. On June 20, 2023, the Company completed its divestiture of its HHI segment. The operating results of the HHI divestiture are included as Income From Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax for all periods presented through the date of the divestiture, including the gain on sale from the HHI divestiture recognized during the three and nine month period ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022. See Note 2 - Divestitures in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. The Company has incurred incremental project costs attributable to the divestiture, consisting of legal and professional fees to effect the realization of the Purchase Agreement, preparation for separation and transition of systems and processes supporting the divested business and operations of enabling functions within a transition services agreement ("TSA"), plus incremental retention costs for personnel supporting such transition efforts. Incremental costs are expected to be incurred through the consummation of the pending transaction to support TSA processes and mitigation following the close of the sale, which are expected to be incurred for a transition period of approximately 12-24 months following the close of the transaction Transaction costs directly attributable to the close of the transaction including certain compensatory costs contingent upon the successful completion of the sale are included as a component of the gain on sale of discontinued operations.
HPC Separation - The Company has initiated projects to facilitate a strategic separation of the Company's ownership in the HPC segment in the most advantageous way to realize value for both the HPC business as a standalone appliance business either through a spin, merger or sale of the business and the retained GPC and H&G businesses of the consolidated group. Costs are primarily attributable to legal and professional fees incurred to assess opportunities, evaluate transaction considerations for a separation, including potential tax and compliance implications to the consolidated group, costs directly attributable to the legal entity separation and transfer of net assets of the HPC operations from the commingled operations of the Company, plus the segregation of systems and processes. The realization of the transaction, if any, is likely not to occur until after completion of the HHI divestiture. Costs attributable to the initiative are expected to be incurred until a transaction is realized or otherwise canceled.
HHI Divestiture - On September 8, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement ("ASPA") with ASSA ABLOY AB ("ASSA") to sell its HHI segment. The consummation of the transaction is pending and subject to customary conditions, including the absence of a material adverse effect of HHI and certain antitrust conditions or other governmental restrictions, amongst others. On September 15, 2022, the DOJ filed a complaint seeking to enjoin the transaction and block the acquisition of the HHI division by ASSA. The Company expects that the trial will occur in April 2023. Both the Company and ASSA have stated their disagreement with the DOJ's concerns. The Company and ASSA will jointly defend the transaction in the litigation. On December 2, 2022, ASSA announced an agreement to sell its Emtek and the Smart Residential Business in the U.S. and Canada to Fortune Brand, which are believed to resolve any conceivable competitive concerns of the DOJ. The Company continues to recognize the HHI division as held for sale and as a component of our discontinued operations and are reported separately for all periods presented. The parties are committed to closing the HHI transaction and the Company and ASSA both continue to expect that they will obtain all the required governmental clearances and will close the HHI transaction. See Note 2 - Divestitures in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. The Company has incurred incremental costs attributable to the pending transaction, primarily consisting of legal and professional fees to effect the realization of the ASPA, facilitate antitrust or other governmental restrictions to consummate the transaction, preparation for separation of systems and processes supporting the divested business and enabling functions under a transition services agreement ("TSA"), plus incremental retention costs for personnel supporting the transition efforts. Incremental costs are expected to be incurred through the consummation of the pending transaction to support TSA processes and mitigation following the close of the sale, which are expected to be incurred for a transition period of approximately 12-24 months following the close of the transaction.
Coevorden Operations - On March 29, 2020, the Company completed the sale of its dog and cat food ("DCF") production facility and distribution center in Coevorden, Netherlands with United Petfood Producers NV ("UPP"). Following the separation of the Coevorden Operations, the Company has incurred incremental costs attributable to a tolling charge for the continued production of DCF products through a three-year manufacturing agreement with the buyer entered into concurrently with the sale, rent charges associated with the transferred warehouse operated by the Company during an 18-month transition period following the sale, plus costs to facilitate the transfer of the warehouse operations to the buyer and the movement of inventory and distribution center operations from the Coevorden facility to a new distribution center supporting GPC operations in EMEA during the prior year. Incremental costs attributable to the three-year tolling arrangement are expected to bewere completed in March 2023.
Rejuvenate Acquisition - On May 28, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in For Life Products, LLC ("FLP"), a manufacturer of household cleaning, maintenance, and restoration products sold under the Rejuvenate® brand. The net assets and operating results of FLP are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and reported within the H&G reporting segment for the three and nine month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 and January 2,July 3, 2022.

Restructuring and Optimization Initiatives
We continually seek and develop operating strategies to improve our operational efficiency, match our capacity and product costs to market demand and better utilize our manufacturing and distribution resources in order to reduce costs, increase revenues, and increase or maintain our current profit margins. We have undertaken various initiatives to reduce manufacturing and operating costs, which may have a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements. These changes and updates are inherently difficult and are made even more difficult by current global economic conditions. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from such operating strategies may be affected by a number of other macro-economic factors, or inflation increased interest rates, many of which are beyond our control. The following initiatives have been considered as having a significant impact on the comparability of the financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements and segment financial information.
Fiscal 2023 Restructuring - During the nine month period ending July 2, 2023, the Company entered into an initiative in response to the continuing pressures within the consumer products and retail markets and adjusted strategic initiatives within certain segments, resulting in the realization of further of headcount reductions. Remaining costs attributable to project are expected to be approximately $3 million and anticipated to be incurred through September 30, 2023 with adjustments attributable to change in estimates, headcounts and timing of communication. See Note 3 - Restructuring Charges inNotes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail on related exit or disposal costs attributable to this initiative.
Fiscal 2022 Restructuring - During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into a newan initiative in response to changes observed within consumer products and retail markets, continued inflationary cost pressures and headwinds, resulting in the realization of a headcount reduction. Substantially all costs associated with the initiative had been recognized in the prior year with amounts during the threenine month period ended January 1,July 2, 2023 due to change in estimates, headcounts and timing of communication. See Note 3 - Restructuring Charges in Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail on related exit or disposal costs attributable to this initiative.
Global ERP Transformation - During the year ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a SAP S/4 HANA ERP transformation project to upgrade and implement our enterprise-wide operating systems to SAP S/4 HANA on a global basis. This is a multi-year project that includes various costs, including software configuration and implementation costs that would be recognized as either capital expenditures or deferred costs in accordance with applicable accounting policies, with certain costs recognized as operating expense associated with project development and project management costs, and professional services with business partners engaged towards planning, design and business process review that would not qualify as software configuration and implementation costs. The Company has substantially completed the designbuild phase of the project and has moved into the build phase.initiated data transfer and testing for its initial implementation. Costs are anticipated to be incurred through various deployments expected through September 30, 2024.
HPC Brand Portfolio Transitions - In light of the acquisition of the Tristar Business and the PowerXL® brand, the Company has initiated a project within its HPC segment to assess and evaluate the current utilization of tradenames and brands across its portfolio of home and kitchen appliance products. The project will require incremental costs to facilitate potential transitions of branded product offerings on global basis, including potential investment with our supply base and retail partners to manage inventory and transition new branded products to market. Remaining costs are anticipated to be incurred through September 30, 2023.

GPC Distribution Transition - During the year ended September 30, 2021, the GPC segment entered into an initiative to update its supply chain and distribution operations within the U.S. to address capacity needs, optimize and improve fill rates attributable to recent growth in the business and consumer demand, and improve overall operational effectiveness and throughput. The initiative includes the transition of its third party logistics (3PL) service provider at its existing distribution center, incorporating new facilities into the distribution footprint by expanding warehouse capacity and securing additional space to support long-term distribution and fulfillment, plus updating engagement and processes with suppliers and its transportation and logistics handlers. Incremental costs include one-time transition, implementation and start-up cost with the new 3PL service provider, including the integration of provider systems and technology, incentive-based compensation to maintain performance during transition, duplicative and redundant costs, and incremental costs for various disruptions in the operations during the transition period including supplemental transportation and storage costs, incremental detention and demurrage costs. Additionally, the Company experienced an increase in customer fines and penalties during the transition period (recognized as a reduction in net sales). Costs attributable to the initiative were completed during the year ended September 30, 2022.
Global Productivity Improvement Program - During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company initiated a company-wide, multi-year program, consisting of various restructuring related initiatives to redirect resources and spending to drive growth, identify cost savings and pricing opportunities through standardization and optimization, develop organizational and operating optimization, and reduce overall operational complexity across the Company. With the Company’s divestitures of GBL and GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019, the project focus includes the transition of the Company’s continuing operations in a post-divestiture environment and exiting of TSAs, which were fully exited in January 2022. The initiative includes review of global processes and organization design and structures, headcount reductions and transfers, and rightsizing the Company’s shared operations and commercial business strategy and exit of certain internal production to third-party suppliers, among others, resulting in the recognition of severance benefits and other exit and disposal costs to facilitate such activity. Costs attributable to the initiative were completed during the year ended September 30, 2022.
The following is a summary of impactimpacts to operating results attributable to restructuring initiatives and other optimization projects incurred for the respective projects during three and nine month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 and January 2,July 3, 2022. In addition to the projects and initiatives discussed above, the Company regularly incurs costcosts and engages in less significant restructuring and optimization initiatives that individually are not substantial and occur over a shorter time period (generally less than 12 months).

Financing Activity
Financing activity during and between comparable periods may have a significant impact on the comparability of financial results on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
On June 20, 2023, following the close of the HHI divestiture, the Company paid down its outstanding term loan and all outstanding borrowings with the Revolver Facility under the Credit Agreement, and terminated the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Tranche. The Company recognized $8.6 million as interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended July 2, 2023 from the write-down of deferred financing costs and original issuance discount.
On November 17, 2022, the Company entered into the fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to temporarily increase the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio permitted to be no greater than 7.0 to 1.0 before returning to 6.0 to 1.0 at the earliest of (i) September 29, 2023, or (ii) 10 business days after the closing of the HHI divestiture or receipt of the related termination fee.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
The impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the sanctions imposed by other nations in response to the conflict are evolving and may have an impact on the Company's consolidated operations and cash flow attributable to operations and distribution within the region. The Company does not maintain a significant level of operations within Ukraine and does not maintain material assets within Russia, which mostly consist of working capital associated with the in-country distribution operations. In response to matters within the territory, we have adjusted our risks associated with the collectability and realizable value for working capital within the region and we have initiated the closing of theits in-country commercial operations in Russia.within Russia to reduce the relative risk and exposure within the region.

Inflation and Supply Chain Constraints
While certain aspects of our financial results have been favorably impacted by increased demand attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to favorable consumer conditions, including incremental financial assistance provided by various government agencies, our business continues to experience challenges towards product availability to meet customer demand. WeThe Company has experienced increased labor shortagesan inflationary environment on a global basis in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic along withand supply chain constraints such as increased labor shortages, increased freight and distribution costs from transportation and logistics, higher commodity costs, rising energy pricing, and disruptions within our supply chain.foreign currency volatility. Together with labor shortages and higher demand for talent, the current economic environment is driving higher wages. Our ability to meet labor needs, control wage and labor-related costs and minimize labor disruptions will be key to our success of operating our business and executing our business strategies. Furthermore, our business is experiencing an inflationary environment, which has negatively impacted our gross margin rates. In response to inflation, our segments have taken pricing actions to address rising costs and foreign currency fluctuations to mitigate impacts to our margins. WeWhile we have seen more stability in the recent economic environment, we are unable to predict how long the current inflationary environment including increased energy costs, will continue. Wecontinue and we expect the economic environment to remain uncertain as we navigate the current geopolitical environment, post-pandemic volatility, labor challenges, changes in supply chain constraints and the overall current inflationary environment, including increasing energy and commodity prices.economic environment.

Non-GAAP Measurements
Our consolidated and segment results contain non-GAAP metrics such as organic net sales, and adjusted EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization”) and adjusted EBITDA margin. While we believe organic net sales and adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental information, such adjusted results are not intended to replace our financial results in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with those GAAP results.
Organic Net Sales. We define organic net sales as net sales excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and impact from acquisitions (when applicable). We believe this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors because it reflects regional and operating segment performance from our activities without the effect of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions. We use organic net sales as one measure to monitor and evaluate our regional and segment performance. Organic growth is calculated by comparing organic net sales to net sales in the prior year. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates is determined by translating the period’scurrent period net sales using the currency exchange rates that were in effect during the prior comparative period. Net sales are attributed to the geographic regions based on the country of destination. We exclude net sales from acquired businesses in the current year for which there are no comparable sales in the prior year.
The following is a reconciliation of reported net sales to organic net sales for the three and nine month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 compared to net sales for the three and nine month periods ended January 2,July 3, 2022:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures used by management, which we believe provide useful information to investors because they reflect ongoing operating performance and trends of our segments, excluding certain non-cash based expenses and/or non-recurring items during each of the comparable periods. They also facilitate comparisons between peer companies since interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization can differ greatly between organizations as a result of differing capital structures and tax strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is also used for determining compliance with the Company’s debt covenants. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes:
StockShare based compensation costs consist of costs associated with long-term incentive compensation arrangements that generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. See Note 13 – Share Based Compensation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for further details;
Incremental amounts attributable to strategic transactions and business development initiatives including, but not limited to, the acquisition or divestitures of a business, costs to effect and facilitate a transaction, including such cost to integrate or separate the respective business. These amounts are excluded from our performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards business development activities, incremental costs attributable to such transactions and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
Incremental amounts realized towards restructuring and optimization projects including, but not limited to, costs towards the development and implementation of strategies to optimize operations and improve efficiency, reduce costs, increase revenues, increase or maintain our current profit margins, including recognition of one-time exit or disposal costs. These amounts are excluded from our ongoing performance metrics as they are reflective of incremental investment by the Company towards significant initiatives controlled by management, incremental costs directly attributable to such initiatives, indirect impact or disruption to operating performance during implementation, and are not considered recurring or reflective of the continuing ongoing operations of the consolidated group or segments;
Unallocated shared costs associated with discontinued operations from certain shared and center-led administrative functions the Company's business units excluded from income from discontinued operations as they are not a direct cost of the discontinued business but a result of indirect allocations, including but not limited to, information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, supply chain, and commercial operations. Amounts attributable to unallocated shared costs would be mitigated through subsequent strategic or restructuring initiatives, TSAs, elimination of extraneous costs, or re-allocations or absorption of existing continuing operations following the completed sale of the discontinued operations.

Net sales for the three month period decreased due to continued softness in the aquatics category across all regions, especially in the subcategory of equipment and environments. Companion animals category grew in EMEA and LATAM regions but declined in North America due to aggressive portfolio management which resulted in the decision to exit several non-strategic categories. Sales in EMEA increased due to growth in companion animal category driven by strong growth in dog and cat food. Net sales were helped by prior year price increases and new positive pricing adjustments in EMEA. Organic net sales for three month period decreased $18.7 million, or 6.4%, excluding favorable foreign currency impact of $0.8 million. Net sales for the nine month period decreased due to reduction in aquatics sales, higher retail inventory levels earlier in the year and unfavorable foreign exchange rates offset by pricing adjustments. Organic net sales for the nine month period decreased $20.3 million, or 2.3%, excluding unfavorable foreign currency impact of $20.7 million.
Operating income, adjusted EBITDA and margins increased due to lower distribution costs and improved fulfillment compared to prior year disruptions, positive pricing adjustments, savings from prior year cost reduction initiatives and additional cost reduction actions in the current year. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA were further benefited by a one-time gain on sale of property of $2.7 million from the sale of buildings within the EMEA region.

Net sales for the three and nine month periods decreased due to adverse weather conditions leading to lower POS and lower replenishment orders for the pest control category and also drove retailers to continue to be conservative with their inventory planning and to further reduce inventory. Cleaning product sales marginally increased from the prior year, but the category POS remained challenged. Decrease in net sales for the nine month period were further impacted by a strong early season inventory build in the prior year and slow spring season cleaning impacting cleaning products category contributed by the POS decline.
Operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and margins for the three month period decreased driven by the decline in sales volume and inflation partially offset by positive pricing, benefits of prior year fixed cost restructuring and operational cost reduction from cost improvement initiatives, with operating income further impacted by the recognition of an impairment of intangible assets of $8.0 million. Operating loss for the nine month period is due to the recognition of a cumulative impairment of intangible assets of $56.0 million with a decrease in adjusted EBITDA and margins due to lower volumes, the realization of high inventoried costs accumulated in the prior year,partially mitigated by fixed cost restructuring and operational cost reductions.

Cash flows used inprovided by investing activities for SBH continuing operations decreased $4.0increased $4,610.7 million, primarily from the net cash proceeds of $4,334.7 million from the HHI divestiture, cash used in the prior year of $272.1 million for the acquisition of the Tristar Business and reduced capital expenditures. Cash flows used in investing activities of SB/RH decreased due to the items previously discussed.discussed, including a loan of $500.0 million to the parent company for a borrowing to support the repurchase of treasury stock under the accelerate share repurchase agreement by SBH.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows providedused by financing activities for continuing operations decreased $253.2increased $2,252.0 million primarily due to the decrease in incremental borrowings required from the Revolver Facility offset by the lowerpay down of debt and treasury share repurchases.repurchases following the HHI divestiture. During the threenine month period ended January 1,July 2, 2023, the Company realized $90.0 million of proceeds frompaid down the outstanding Revolver Facility with amortizing payments on other outstanding debt of $3.3$794.0 million and the Term Loan of $394.0 million. Refer to Note 9 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information on debt borrowings. During the threenine month period ended January 1,July 2, 2023, the Company did notentered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement and incurred $500.0 million towards the repurchase any treasury stock.stock under an accelerated share repurchase agreement. See Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for more information on share repurchase activity. There was no issuance of common stock, other than through the Company’s share-based compensation plans and which is recognized as a non-cash financing activity. See Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity and Note 13 - Share Based Compensation in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. During the threenine month periods ended January 1,July 2, 2023 and January 2,July 3, 2022, SBH made cash dividend payments of $17.1$51.6 million, and $17.3 million, respectively, or $0.42 per share. Cash flows from financing activity of SB/RH decreased $275.3$1,773.2 million and is highly dependent upon the financing cash flow activities of SBH.
Liquidity Outlook
Our ability to generate cash flow from operating activities coupled with our expected ability to access the credit markets, enables us to execute our growth strategies and return value to our shareholders. Our ability to make principal and interest payments on borrowings under our debt agreements and our ability to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on the ability to generate cash in the future, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. We believe the negative operating cash flow recognized forin the three month period ended January 1, 2023,prior year is not indicative of the ongoing near-term operations of the Company and based upon our current and anticipated level of operations, existing cash balances, the anticipated proceeds from the HHI divestiture and availability under our credit facility, we expect cash flows from operations to be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. It is not unusual for our business to experience negative operating cash flow during the first quarter of the fiscal year due to the operating calendar with our customers and the seasonality of our working capital. Additionally, we believe the availability under our credit facility and access to capital markets are sufficient to achieve our longer-term strategic plans. As of January 1,July 2, 2023, the Company had borrowing availability of $252.5$586.9 million, net of outstanding letters of credit, under our credit facility. Liquidity and capital resources of SB/RH are highly dependent upon the cash flow activities of SBH.
Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements, capital spending, periodic principal and interest payments on our long-term debt, and initiatives to support restructuring, integration or other related projects. Long-term financing needs depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including acquisition activity and repayment or refinancing of our long-term obligations. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity under terms that are favorable to us. We also have long-term obligations associated with defined benefit plans with expected minimum required contributions that are not considered significant to the consolidated group.

TableDuring the three and nine month period ended July 2, 2023, the Company completed the HHI divestiture resulting in a significant inflow of Contentsnet cash of $4,334.7 million. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to repay the outstanding balance on the Term Loan of $392.0 million and the Revolver Facility of $715.0 million, as well as called its 5.75% Notes with a balance of $450.0 million that were subsequently repaid on July 20, 2023
, resulting in a reduction to its overall debt obligation and commitments previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022. See Note 9 - Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. The Company does not have any further immediate obligations to pay down any remaining debt in the short-term following the close of the HHI divestiture. We have made, and may from time to time seek to repurchase sharesin the future, make optional repayments on our debt obligations, which may include repayments, redemptions, repurchases, refinancings or exchanges of our outstanding notes, which will be dependent on various factors, including market conditions. Any such repurchases may be effected through privately negotiated transactions, market transactions, tender offers, redemptions or otherwise.
The Company also used a portion of proceeds from the HHI divestiture to fund $500.0 million towards the repurchase of common stock. During the three month period ended January 1, 2023, the Company did not repurchased any shares.shares through an accelerated share repurchase agreement. See Note 12 – Shareholders’ Equity in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. AnyThe accelerated share repurchase is expected to result in a net delivery settlement of shares by its maturity in December 2023 and does not require any further obligation for cash payment at settlement. We may, from time to time, seek to repurchase additional shares of our common stock and any further repurchase activity will be dependent on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors.
The Company will continue to evaluate the deployment of cash proceeds from the HHI divestiture, including the consideration of further debt reduction and share buybacks, but also intends to use a portion of the transaction proceeds to invest in its long-term operating performance and free cash flow generating capacity, seek opportunities to invest in its employees and talent base, marketing, advertising and innovation of new products and infrastructure, as well as consideration towards opportunistic, attractive and synergistic acquisition opportunities within its continuing segments. During such time, the Company intends to temporarily invest a portion of its cash proceeds in short-term investments until such expenditures are considered required or necessary to the Company in executing its strategic plans and initiatives.As of July 2, 2023, the Company has an outstanding obligation to ASSA of $34.3 million, which is primarily for the estimated purchase price settlement, cash flow settlement for subsequent commingled operations and net TSA charges including amounts subject to repayment by the Company.
Additionally, during the nine month period ended July 2, 2023, the Company entered into a significant lease renewal with our HPC distribution center in Redlands, CA, resulting in an obligation of $61.8 million with a five-year term expiring in August 2028, increasing the amount of lease obligations and commitments previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022. Other than the changes to debt and lease obligations previously noted, there have been no material changes to our debt obligations, lease obligations, employee benefit obligations, or other contractual obligations or commercial commitments previously disclosed. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

We maintain a capital structure that we believe provides us with sufficient access to credit markets. When combined with strong levels of cash flow from operations, our capital structure has provided the flexibility necessary to pursue strategic growth opportunities and return value to our shareholders. The Company’s access to capital markets and financing costs may depend on the Company’s credit ratings. None of the Company’s current borrowings are subject to default or acceleration as a result of a downgrading of credit ratings, although a downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings could increase fees and interest charges on future borrowings. At January 1,July 2, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the 5.75% Notes, due July 15, 2025; the 4.00% Notes, due October 1, 2026; the 5.00% Notes, due October 1, 2029; the 5.50% Notes due July 15, 2030; and the 3.875% Notes, due March 15, 2031. On November 17, 2022, the Company entered into the fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to temporarily increase the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio permitted to be no greater than 7.0 to 1.0, before returning to 6.0 to 1.0 at the earliest of (i) September 29, 2023, or (ii) 10 business days after the closing of the HHI divestiture or receipt of the related termination fee. The waiver remained in effect as of July 2, 2023 and expired 10 business days after the close of the HHI divestiture, subsequent to July 2, 2023. The maximum permitted consolidated total net leverage in subsequent periods will be 6.0 to 1.0.
A portion of our cash balance is located outside the U.S. given our international operations. We manage our worldwide cash requirements centrally by reviewing available cash balances across our worldwide group and the cost effectiveness with which this cash can be accessed. We generally repatriate cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries, provided the cost of the repatriation is not considered material. The counterparties that hold our deposits consist of major financial institutions.
The majority of our business is not considered seasonal with a year round selling cycle that is overall consistent during the fiscal year with the exception of our H&G segment. H&G sales typically peak during the first six months of the calendar year (the Company's second and third fiscal quarters) due to customer seasonal purchasing patterns and the timing of promotional activity. This seasonality requires the Company to ship large quantities of products ahead of peak consumer buying season that can impact cash flow demands to meet manufacturing and inventory requirements earlier in the fiscal year, as well as extended credit terms and/or promotional discounts throughout the peak season.
From time to time the Company enters into factoring agreements and customers' supply chain financing arrangements to provide for the sale of certain trade receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. The factored receivables are accounted for as a sale without recourse, and the balance of the receivables sold are removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the time of the sales transaction, with the proceeds received recognized as an operating cash flow. Amounts received from customers for factored receivables are recognized as a payable and remitted to the factor based upon terms of the factoring agreements. TheFollowing the closing of the HHI divestiture and receipt of related proceeds, the Company factored certainhas temporarily suspended some of its trade receivables during the three month period ending January 1, 2023.receivable factoring activity. Additionally, the Company facilitates a voluntary supply chain financing program to provide certain of its suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from the Company (the Company's trade payables) to an unrelated third-party financial institution under the sole discretion of the supplier and the participating financial institution. There are no guarantees provided by the Company or its subsidiaries and we do not enter into any agreements with the suppliers regarding their participation. The Company's responsibility is limited to payments on the original terms negotiated with its suppliers, regardless of whether the suppliers sell their receivables to the financial institution and continue to be recognized as accounts payable on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with cash flow activity recognized as an operating cash flow.
During the three month period ended January 1, 2023, there have been no material changes to our debt obligations, lease obligations, employee benefit obligations or other contractual obligations or commercial commitments previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022, other than the increased revolver capacity and borrowings under the Company's Credit Agreement, which have a maturity date of June 30, 2025 and are subject to repayment or re-borrowing by the Company without penalty. See Note 9 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report for further detail. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk Factors
No material change in the Company’s market risk has occurred during the threenine month period ended January 1, 2023.July 2, 2023, except for the consideration of changes attributable to the HHI divestiture and the related cash proceeds. Following the receipt of cash proceeds from the HHI divestiture, we have paid down our outstanding term loan and borrowings with the Revolver Facility under the Credit Agreement, as well as terminated the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility Tranche, which were both subject to variable interest rates. Further, with the additional proceeds, we have incremental available cash to support operating cash flow requirements and working capital needs and mitigates our need to leverage our Revolver Facility or utilize factoring in the near term to reduce our cash conversion cycle. As a result, we have mitigated our outstanding borrowings and exposure to variable interest rates for the foreseeable future. For additional information, refer to Note 9 - Debt to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and to Part II, Items 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
Additionally, with close of the HHI divestiture, we have reduced our exposure regarding the risk of loans to and from subsidiaries, as well as purchases from suppliers and third party customers denominated in foreign currencies. We manage our foreign exchange exposure from such intercompany loans and purchase commitments and accounts payable through the use of naturally occurring offsetting positions (borrowing in local currency), forward foreign exchange rate swaps and foreign exchange options. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from, the contract counterparties are included in accounts payable. For additional information, refer to Note 10 – Derivatives to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement included elsewhere in thethis Quarterly Report and to Part II, Items 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, SBH’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to SBH’s management, including SBH’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the threenine month periodsperiod ended January 1,July 2, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. SBH’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that SBH’s disclosure controls and procedures or SBH’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within SBH have been detected.
