Out-of-Period Misstatements

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment to income tax expense which resulted in a $1.3 million decrease in income from continuing operations. This error resulted from intercompany costs which were allocated to an incorrect legal entity resulting in a net understatement of income tax expense for the entities. The Company's fiscal year endsCompany has recorded an aggregate net $2.6 million decrease in income from continuing operations in the year-to-date period ended September 24, 2022, composed of the above-referenced adjustment and three other adjustments identified in the second quarter of 2022. Management has determined that these errors were not material to any of its previously issued financial statements individually or in the aggregate.

Discontinued Operations

Avroy Shlain was sold in the first quarter of 2021, House of Fuller Mexico was sold in the second quarter of 2022, and, as noted in Note 13: Held for Sale Assets and Discontinued Operations, Nutrimetics was sold on July 1, 2022.

Economic Uncertainties

For the third quarter ended September 24, 2022, the Company's business activities continued to be impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”), most notably in China, where lockdowns persist. In addition, the Company's business activities, particularly in Europe, continued to experience volatility and were impacted by lower consumer sentiment and increased cost of energy. Inflation has increased globally resulting in less disposable income for consumers and lower consumer sentiment. The U.S. dollar has strengthened against the Euro, Japanese Yen, and other currencies. This continues to be a headwind for the Company as its foreign denominated revenues are translated into USD at lower exchange rates negatively impacting results.As a result, many of the Company's estimates and assumptions require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company's estimates may change materially in future periods.

Equity

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), under which the Company paid $75.0 million and received an initial share delivery of 3,438,264 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, which were immediately retired. The initial number of shares received was calculated as 75% of the $75.0 million divided by the price of the Company's common stock on February 25, 2022 of $16.36. On May 27, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the ASR agreement, Wells Fargo elected to accelerate the settlement date of the ASR and the Company received the remaining settlement of 1,438,325 shares, which were immediately retired. The number of shares received was calculated by taking the initial $75.0 million divided by the price of the variable weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company's share price during the duration of the ASR of $15.38, less the number of shares received at the beginning of the ASR.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Recently Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), an optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the transition from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) to an alternative reference rate. The ASU intends to address certain concerns relating to accounting for contract modifications and hedge accounting. These optional expedients and exceptions to applying GAAP, assuming certain criteria are met, are allowed through December 31, 2022. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. In addition, the FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” (“ASU 2021-01”) to refine the scope of ASC 848, “Reference Rate Reform” (“ASC 848”) and ASU 2020-04 in response to Reference Rate Reform in January 2021. ASU 2021-01 adds guidance to clarify which optional expedients in ASC 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that will be discontinued, but are modified as a result of the discontinuing transition. This guidance was effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance during the third quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have any material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3:Promotional Costs
Note 3: Promotional Costs

The Company frequently makes promotional offers to members of its independent sales force to encourage them to fulfill specific goals or targets for other activities. These activities are ancillary to the Company’s business, but considered separate and distinct services from sales, which are measured by defined group/team sales levels, party attendance, addition of new sales force members, or other business-critical functions. The awards offered are in the form of product awards, special prizes, or trips.

Programs are generally designed to recognize sales force members for achieving a primary objective. An example is holding a certain number of product demonstrations. In this situation, the Company offers a prize to sales force members who achieve the targeted number of product demonstrations over a specified period. The period runs from weeks to several months. The prizes are generally graded, in that meeting one level may result in receiving a piece of jewelry, with higher achievement resulting in more valuable prizes such as a television or a trip. Similar programs are designed to reward current sales force members who reach certain goals by promoting them to a higher level in the organization where their earning opportunity would be expanded, and they would take on additional responsibilities for adding new sales force members and providing training and motivation to new and existing sales force members. Other business drivers, such as scheduling product demonstrations, increasing the number of sales force members, holding product demonstrations, or increasing end consumer attendance at product demonstrations, may also be the focus of a program.
12


The Company also offers commissions for achieving targeted sales levels. These types of awards are generally based upon the sales achievement of at least a mid-level member of the sales force, and her or his down-line members. The down-line consists of those sales force members who have been directly added to the sales force by a given sales force member, as well as those added by her or his down-line member. In this manner, sales force members can build an extensive organization over time if they are committed to adding and developing their units. In addition to the commission, the positive performance of a unit may also entitle its leader to the use of a Company-provided vehicle and in some cases, the permanent awarding of a vehicle. Similar to the prize programs noted earlier, these programs generally offer varying levels of vehicles that are dependent upon performance.

The Company accrues for the costs of these awards during the period over which the sales force qualifies for the award and reports these costs primarily as a component of DS&Aselling, general and administrative expense. These accruals require estimates as to the cost of the awards, based upon estimates of achievement and actual cost to be incurred. During the qualification period, actual results are monitored and changes to the original estimates are made when known.

Note 5: Re-engineering Charges

Re-engineering charges are mainly related to the “Turnaround Plan” which was launched in mid-2020 under the new leadership. The key elements of the Turnaround Plan include: increasing the Company's right-sizing plans to improve profitability, accelerating the divestiture of non-core assets to strengthen the balance sheet, restructuring the Company’s debt to enhance liquidity, and structurally fixing the Company’s core business to create a more sustainable business model. Re-engineering charges are primarily related to severance costs, outside consulting services, and facility costs. The Company expects re-engineering expenses to continue this year and next year related to the Turnaround Plan. Total charges incurred to date related to the Turnaround Plan are approximately $56.0 million, including $48.7 million related to severance charges, and $7.3 million related to other sales force compensation expensescharges, primarily consulting costs. The Company expects to incur $20.0 million to $30.0 million of Turnaround Plan charges in 2022. Turnaround Plan charges for 2023 have not yet been approved by Board of Directors.

The change in the effective tax rate for the third quartersquarter of 20172022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, was primarily due to:

a non-recurring favorable impact from a tax policy change elected in the prior year related to a tax method change for certain direct and 2016, respectively,indirect costs of inventory and $274.0self-constructed assets under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 263A,
an unfavorable jurisdictional mix of earnings, significantly impacted by the marginal pre-tax earnings in the third quarter of 2022,
negative impact of the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) regime, which results in a reduction of benefits on domestic losses,
additional valuation allowance on disallowed interest expense due to the change in IRC Section 163(j) rules from EBITDA to EBIT. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for interest carryforwards, and
as described in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment to income tax expense during the third quarter of 2022 which resulted in a $1.3 million and $281.2 milliondecrease in income from continuing operations. This error resulted from intercompany costs which were allocated to an incorrect legal entity resulting in a net understatement of income tax expense for the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017two entities.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA) into law, which includes implementation of a new alternative minimum tax, a nondeductible excise tax on stock buybacks and September 24, 2016, respectively.significant tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives, among other provisions.The Company has evaluated the various provisions of the IRA and has determined there are no material impacts on its operations or reporting requirements.


7

There was no change in the third quarter of 2022 to the uncertain tax position reserves. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company is currently under examination or contesting proposed adjustments by various state and international tax authorities for fiscal years ranging from 2004 through 2020.

TableWhile the Company does not currently expect material changes, it is reasonably possible that the conclusion of, Contentsor new developments in, audits in foreign jurisdictions could impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain existing deferred tax assets. An estimate of the range of possible changes cannot be made for remaining unrecognized tax benefits because of the significant number of jurisdictions in which the Company does business and the number of open tax periods.

In connection with the decision to wind-down Beauticontrol, the Company also recorded $3.2 million in cost of sales for inventory obsolescence.Discontinued Operations
The total cost of the restructuring actions is estimated to be $100 million to $110 million from the second quarter of 2017 forward. This excludes the benefit of selling fixed assets that will become excess in light of the re-engineering actions. The Company expects about 90 percent of second quarter 2017 forward re-engineering costs to require cash outflows and for these to be funded with cash flow from
Discontinued operations net of investing activities, notwithstanding the timing during each fiscal year in which the Company generates the majority of its cash. Of the total costs, the Company estimates that about 80 percent relates to severance and benefits related to headcount reductions, while the balance is predominantly related to costs to exit leases and other contracts, as well as write-offs of excess assets for which there are not expected to be disposal proceeds.

On July 1, 2022 the December 2005 acquisitionCompany closed on the sale of the direct-to-consumer businesses of Sara Lee Corporation.its Nutrimetics beauty business. The Company has early adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-04: Simplifyingis currently in discussions with a potential buyer for Nuvo with the Test for Goodwill Impairment.intention of having a deal signed and completed in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In the third quarter of 2017,2021, the Company completedhad determined that these dispositions represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on its results of operations. As such, reflected below are the annual assessmentsresults of the beauty business as discontinued operations including all comparative prior period information in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain costs previously allocated to the beauty business for allsegment reporting purposes do not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations. For the year ended December 25, 2021, the Company recognized a loss on the classification of its reporting unitsheld for sale assets of House Fuller, Nutrimetics, and indefinite-lived intangible assets, concluding thereNuvo of $133.5 million based on total expected proceeds less costs to sell. The loss primarily related to currency translation losses of $140.9 million which was in accumulated other comprehensive income. In connection with the loss, the Company recorded a contra-asset and liability on the balance sheet. Approximately $133.0 million of currency translation losses and $30.1 million of currency translation gains in accumulated other comprehensive income and the equivalent amount of the contra-asset liability were no impairments. The Company performed only qualitative assessmentsderecognized and removed from the balance sheet in the third quarter of 2017.

The carrying amount of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including the goodwill balance, after consideration of impairment to its long-lived assets. There were no impairments of any long-lived assets. The fair value analysis for Fuller Mexico was completed using a combination of the income and market approach with a 75 percent weighting on the income approach, which was considered a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The significant assumptions used in the income approach included estimates regarding future operations and the ability to generate cash flows, including projections of revenue, costs, utilizationmajor classes of assets and capital requirements. The income approach, or discounted cash flow approach, also requires an estimateliabilities classified as to the appropriate discount rate to be used. The most sensitive estimateheld for sale that were included in this valuation is the projection of operating cash flows, as these provide the basis for the estimate of fair market value. The Company’s cash flow model used a forecast period of 10 years with annual revenue growth rates ranging from negative 10 percent to positive 4 percent, a compound average growth rate of 1.6 percent,discontinued operations at September 24, 2022 and a 3 percent growth rate used in calculating the terminal value. The discount rate used was 15.8 percent. The growth rates were determined by reviewing historical results of the operating unit and the historical results of the Company’s other similar business units, along with the expected contribution from growth strategies being implemented. The market approach relies on an analysis of publicly-traded companies similar to Tupperware and deriving a range of revenue and profit multiples. The publicly-traded companies usedDecember 25, 2021 are shown in the market approach were selected based on their having similar product lines of consumer goods, beauty products and/or companies using a direct-to-consumer distribution method. The resulting multiples were then applied to the reporting unit to determine fair value. The goodwill was then written down so that the carrying value of the Fuller Mexico reporting unit would equal its fair value.table below.
With the estimated fair value of the reporting unit equaling its carrying value as of the end of the May 2017 evaluation, the Fuller Mexico reporting unit has a high risk of future impairment to the remaining goodwill balance of $18.9 million. Fuller Mexico's performance in the third quarter of 2017 was not out of line with assumptions built into the fair value evaluation performed as of the end of May 2017, despite the impact of the natural disasters in Mexico during the third quarter of 2017. Any lingering impacts into the fourth quarter 2017 are expected to be temporary and not impactful to the long-term value of the business. A deterioration in key operating metrics, such as sales force size, and/or operating performance significantly below current expectations, including changes in projected future revenue, profitability and cash flow, as well as higher working capital, interest rates, or cost of capital, could have a negative effect on the fair value of the reporting unit. In addition, the Company is unable to predict, at this time, whether there will be a significant, long-term impact to the Fuller Mexico operations due to changes in the macro-economic environment. Should the Company's programs and strategies to improve the key performance indicators as outlined above not be able to overcome the general trends in the business and/or macro-economic factors in the time frame forecast, which could also impact the long-term discount rate values used in estimating fair value, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit could fall below its carrying value. This would result in recording an impairment to the goodwill of Fuller Mexico.

Note 11:Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows, and financial position of its international operations. Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company'sCompany’s local manufacturing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollarUnited States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company.Company's financial results. In response, the Company uses financial instruments to hedge certain of its exposures and to manage the foreign exchange impact to its financial statements. At its inception, a derivative financial instrument is designated as a fair value, cash flow, or net equityinvestment hedge.

Fair Value Hedges

Fair value hedges are entered into with financial instruments such as forward contracts, with the objective of limiting exposure to certain foreign exchange risks primarily associated with accounts payable and non-permanent intercompany transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company excludes forward points, which are considered to be a component of interest expense. The forward points onchange in fair value hedges resultedof hedged items results in pretax gains of $5.9 million and $3.4 million in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $16.1 million and $11.2 million for the respective year-to-date periods.adjustments to their carrying amounts as follows:

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted transactions or purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges.

The Company also uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward contracts and certain euroEuro denominated intercompany borrowings under its Credit Agreement, to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations and classifiesdesignates these as net equityinvestment hedges. Changes in the value of these financial instruments excluding any ineffective portion of the hedges, are included in foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive income a net loss of $3.8 million and $35.9 million associated with these hedges in the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2017, respectively, and a net gain of $6.5 million and $9.9 million associated with such hedges for the respective periods of 2016.

While the forward contracts used for net equity and fair value hedges of non-permanent intercompany balances mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled, whereas the hedged items do not generate offsetting cash flows. The net cash flow impact of these currency hedges for the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 24, 2016 was an inflow of $5.8 million and an outflow of$5.6 million, respectively.Notional Value

The Company considers the total notional value of its forward contracts as the best measure of the volume of derivative transactions. AsThe notional value of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to purchase currencies were $157.2 million and $116.7 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to sell currencies were $167.7 millionwas:

The Company's theoretical credit risk for each foreign exchange contract is its replacement cost, but management believes that the risk of incurring credit losses is remote and such losses, if any, would not be material. The Company is also exposed to market risk on its derivative instruments due to potential changes in foreign exchange rates; however, such market risk would be fully offset by changes in the valuation of the underlying items being hedged. For all outstanding derivative instruments, the net accrued gain or loss was recorded either in non-trade accounts receivable, net or accrued liabilities, depending upon the net position of the individual contracts. The gain or loss amounts change based upon the Company's outstanding exposure to fair value fluctuations. The Company has an accounting policy to present derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis.

The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility (“Revolver Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount available to the Company and the impact they hadSubsidiary Borrowers of up to $480.0 million, (ii) a term facility available to the Company in U.S. dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (“USD Term Loan”) and (iii) a term facility available to the Company or the Swiss subsidiary borrower in Euros in an aggregate principal amount of €176.0 million, (“Euro Term Loan”). The USD Term Loan and Euro Term Loan are collectively defined as the “Term Loan”.

The Revolver Facility is divided into (a) global tranche, Mexican tranche, and Singaporean tranche commitments, with the aggregate amount of borrowings under each tranche not to exceed $450.0 million, $15.0 million, and $15.0 million, respectively, (b) a global tranche letter of credit facility, available up to $50.0 million of the amount of the Revolver Facility, and (c) a global tranche swingline facility, available up to $100.0 million of the amount of the Revolver Facility. Each of such tranches is available to the Company and the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers, with extensions of credit to the Subsidiary Borrowers not to exceed $325.0 million in the aggregate at any time outstanding. The Company is permitted to increase, subject to certain conditions, the Revolver Facility, the USD Term Loan and/or the Euro Term Loan so long as (i) the Revolver Facility is increased by no more than $250.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Revolver Facility of $730.0 million) and (ii) all facilities are increased by no more than $250.0 million, plus certain repayments of the loans under the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and the other parties, plus an unlimited amount provided that the incurrence of such amount does not cause the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement and which shall be calculated net of up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (“Cash Netting”)) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to exceed 3.00 to 1.00.

Each of the Revolver Facility, the USD Term Loan, and the Euro Term Loan will mature on November 23, 2026. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are (a) guaranteed by (i) with respect to the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Parent Borrower and (ii) with respect to both the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers, each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect material wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (each a “Guarantor”) and (b) secured by substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of the Parent Borrower and each Guarantor and all products, profits and proceeds of the foregoing, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio requirements, compliance with laws, delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements, restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments and other customary covenants. The Credit Agreement also includes events of default relating to customary matters (and customary notice and cure periods), including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants;
26

incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to material indebtedness; bankruptcy; material judgments; and certain ERISA events. The Credit Agreement also includes an acceleration clause which permits the lenders to accelerate the maturity date under certain circumstances including material adverse effects on the Company's financial positionstatus.

The Company has prepayment options, as well as mandatory quarterly prepayments that started on March 31, 2022.

For purposes of the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring gains as well as non-cash charges and certain other items. Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness minus up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on the last day of each measurement period to (b) consolidated EBITDA for such measurement period, and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of (x) consolidated EBITDA on the last day of each measurement period to (y) the Consolidated Interest Charges for such measurement period.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company shall not permit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (a) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to be greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 (subject to Cash Netting) which may be increased two times during the term of the Credit Agreement by 0.25 to 1.00 in connection with any acquisition permitted by the Credit Agreement having aggregate cash consideration in excess of $75 million or (b) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended to be less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

Considering the current global market volatility, inflationary cost pressures primarily in China and Europe, and a change in the Company’s liquidity year-to-date, effective August 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “First Amendment to Credit Agreement”) to amend certain provisions and covenants to, among other things, (i) allow for a temporary higher maximum total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.5x in the third quarter of 2022, 4.25x in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, and 3.75x in the second quarter of 2023 and thereafter to allow for additional operating flexibility to execute fully on the Company’s Turnaround Plan; (ii) introduce two additional pricing levels for total Net Leverage Ratios of 3.0x to 3.5x, and for 3.5x and higher, with a provision to revert to pricing per the original agreement following achievement of a total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.75x or less for two consecutive quarters following the covenant modification period; (iii) replace LIBOR with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the reference interest rate on the entire facility, with a 0% SOFR floor and credit spread adjustments across one-, three-, and six-month tenors.

As of September 30, 201724, 2022, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 4.39% with a base rate spread of 275 basis points on SOFR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears and at maturity. As of September 24, 2022, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, with a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 4.17x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 5.93x. As of December 31, 2016. Fair values were determined based on third party quotations (Level 2 fair value measurement):25, 2021, the Company had a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.11x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.23x.

The following table summarizesCompany has experienced volatility in earnings during the impactnine months ended September 24, 2022 as it executes the Turnaround Plan and responds to the unpredictability in the market related to recessionary concerns, inflation and COVID lockdowns. As of September 24, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Due to the volatility in the Company’s earnings and progressive tightening of the Company's fair value hedging positionsfinancial covenants in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, it is probable that the Company will not be able to maintain compliance with the covenants in its Credit Agreement, including the existing Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, for the next twelve months. The Company is in negotiations with its lenders to amend the Credit Agreement; however, the Company’s ability to amend its covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt, as well as the timing and terms of any such amendment or refinancing, are dependent upon a number of factors, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts.

If the Company is unable to comply with its covenants, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, then the Credit Agreement lenders could take action to cause amounts due under the Credit Agreement to become due and payable unless the Company is able to amend such covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt. If the Company is unable to access future borrowings or is required to pay amounts due under its Credit Agreement prior to their normal maturity dates, this would have a material impact to its financial position. Accordingly, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date of this filing.

The Company is undertaking expense reduction and cash savings initiatives as part of the Turnaround Plan to help continue to pay down its debt and reduce the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. The expense reduction and cash saving initiatives include streamlining facilities, managing working capital, reducing capital expenditures, and reducing overall selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company routinely increases its Revolver Facility borrowings under the Credit Agreement during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities, and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense on the resultsvalue of operationsits cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end balances.

At September 24, 2022, the Company had $135.3 million of unused lines of credit, including $131.3 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $4.0 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.

Note 12:Fair Value Measurements
Due to their short maturities or their insignificance, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximated their fair values at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company estimates that, based on current market conditions, the value of its 4.75%,25, 2021 senior notes was $639.8 million at September 30, 2017, compared with the carrying value of $599.5 million. The higher fair value resulted from changes, since issuance, in the corporate debt markets and investor preferences. The fair value of debt is classified as a Level 2 liability, and is estimated using quoted market prices as provided in secondary markets that consider the Company's credit risk and market related conditions. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Company's derivative instruments and related fair value measurements.

As they relate to non-U.S. plans, the Company uses current exchange rates to make these reclassifications. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is included on the net amortization line of the table above.
Note 14:Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the third quarterCompany included $1.4 million and year-to-date periods of 2017 were 44.3 percent and 43.4 percent compared with 38.4 percent and 30.4 percent for the comparable 2016 periods. The change in the year-to-date rate was due$4.3 million related to the impairment andcomponents of net periodic (benefit) cost, excluding service cost, in other charges, for which limited tax benefits were available.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company's gross unrecognized tax benefit was $18.9 million and $20.7 million, respectively. The Company estimates that as of September 30, 2017, approximately $18.3 million of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positionsexpense, net in the Company's global operations are recorded as a component of the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties were $7.8 million and $7.1 million as of the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. For year-to-date 2017, the accrual for uncertain tax positions decreased by $3.1 million as a result of the closure of audits and statute limitation expirations in various jurisdictions.

The Company estimates that it may settle one or more audits in the next twelve months that may result in cash payments decreasing the amount of accrual for uncertain tax positions by up to $1.3 million. For the remaining balance as of September 30, 2017, the Company is not able to reliably estimate the timing or ultimate settlement amount. While the Company does not currently expect material changes, it is possible that the amount of unrecognized benefit with respect to the uncertain tax positions will significantly increase or decrease related to audits in various foreign jurisdictions that may conclude during that period or new developments that could also, in turn, impact the Company's assessment relative to the establishment of valuation allowances against certain existing deferred tax assets. These valuation allowances relate to tax assets in jurisdictions where it is management's best estimate that there is not a greater than 50 percent probability that the benefit of the assets will be realized in the associated tax returns. The likelihood of realizing the benefit of deferred tax assets is assessed on an ongoing basis. This assessment requires estimates as to future operating results, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's tax planning strategies. At this time, the Company is not able to make a reasonable estimate of the range of impact on the balance of unrecognized tax benefits or the impact on the effective tax rate related to these items.

Act of 1934. The lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s stock during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. The Company's motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on January 25, 2021, but the court permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on April 2, 2021. The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 9, 2021, but again permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on August 30, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 14, 2021, and on February 4, 2022, the Court dismissed the third amended complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff filed an appeal on April 11, 2022, which was fully briefed with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals as of June 1, 2022.

Additionally, several putative stockholders filed stockholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The cases were consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on August 5, 2020. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims against certain current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and contribution for violations of the securities laws based on allegations that the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Court stayed proceedings in this action pending resolution of the appeal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action.

The parties reached an agreement to stay this action pending the resolution of the appeal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In June 2022, a putative stockholder class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that statements made in public filings between November 3, 2021 and May 3, 2022 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s earnings and sales performance and full year 2022 guidance violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the potential class period and demands unspecified monetary damages. The plaintiff intends to file an amended complaint in late November 2022. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of this action would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In August 2022, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in Florida state court against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The derivative complaint asserts claims against the former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on allegations that, among other things, the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The SEC was conducting an inquiry into the Company’s accounting practices relating to its previously-owned Fuller Mexico business and its Tupperware Mexico business. On September 29, 2022, the SEC issued a final order approving the settlement of the inquiry. Under the terms of the order, the Company neither admits nor denies the SEC's findings and paid an immaterial civil penalty, which was fully accrued in the second quarter of 2022.

Leases

Leases, including the minimum rental commitments for 2023, primarily are for automobiles that generally have a lease term of 1 year to 4 years, with the remaining leases related to office, manufacturing and distribution space. It is common for lease agreements to contain various provisions for items such as step rent or other escalation clauses and lease concessions, which may offer a period of no rent payment. These types of items are considered by the Company's stock based compensationCompany, and are recorded into expense on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease terms for operating leases. There are no lease agreements containing material renewal options. Certain leases require the Company to pay property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance.

Note 19: Fair Value Measurements

The Company applies the applicable accounting guidance for fair value measurements. This guidance provides the definition of fair value, describes the method used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and outlines fair value disclosure requirements.
29


The fair value hierarchy established under this guidance prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the third quarterasset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted prices, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

Due to their short maturities or their insignificance, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, lines of credit, and leased assets and liabilities approximated their fair values at September 24, 20162022 and December 25, 2021.

The term loan and revolver facility are classified as Level 2 liabilities and are estimated using a market approach.

The fair value of the term loan and revolver facility were as follows:

Note 19:New Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance on hedge accounting. Under the amendment, the impact of both the effective and ineffective components of a hedging relationship is required to be recorded in the same income statement line. After initial qualification, a qualitative assessment of effectiveness is permitted instead of a quantitative test for certain hedges. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company estimates between $10 million and $15 million in interest expense will be reclassified into other line items of the Consolidated Statement of Income as a result of adoption of this amendment.

Under the amendment, modification accounting is to be applied unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the modified award are the same as that of the original award immediately before the modification. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect an impact from the adoption of this amendment on its Consolidatedhave any recurring Level 3 fair value measurements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of this amendment on its Consolidated Financial Statements. While there are expected to be changes in policy in certain units, the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements is not expected to be significant, as the majorityCondition and Results of the Company's transactions are not accounted for under industry-specific guidance that will be superseded by the new guidance, and generally only consists of a single performance obligation to transfer non-customized, promised goods. The Company expects to use the modified retrospective method of adoption beginning January 2018.Operations
In October 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance on income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Under the amendment, the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory will be recognized when the transfer occurs. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect a significant impact from the adoption of this amendment on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to existing guidance on lease accounting that requires the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases be presented in the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the specific impact of the adoption of this amendment on its Consolidated Financial Statements, though it does expect an increase in both assets and liabilities upon adoption due to recognition of operating lease assets and related liabilities.

Reported sales increased 3 percent compared withThe continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar is presenting challenges for global markets and companies which do business globally. The U.S. dollar has strengthened against the Euro, Japanese Yen, and other currencies. This continues to be a headwind for the Company as its foreign denominated revenues are translated into USD at lower exchange rates negatively impacting results. The Company estimates that the negative impact on revenues for the third quarter of 2016. Excluding2022 was approximately 6% compared to the same period in prior year and 4% on a year-to-date basis as compared to prior year.

In the third quarter of 2022, there was lower sales force activity in all segments as compared to both prior year and prior quarter. The decrease is driven by both internal and external factors such as sales force adoption of business model and compensation plan adjustments, primarily in Asia Pacific and North America, as well as lower consumer sentiment, higher gas prices, primarily in Europe, and higher global inflation.

The negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 2 percent. The Company defines established market economies as those in Western Europe (including Scandinavia), Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States. All other countries are classified as having emerging market economies. The Company's businesses operating in emerging market economies had a 3 percent increase in local currency sales, primarily in Argentina, Brazil and China, partially offset by decreases in Fuller Mexico, India and Indonesia.

Net Sales

Net sales were $302.8 million and $376.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net Sales were down in Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America, and up in South America. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales decreased $50.2 million or 14 percent, primarily due to:

Asia Pacific, decreased $19.4 million, mainly related to lower recruiting and overall sales force activity, negatively impacted by: (1) China's continued COVID-19 lock-downs resulting in limited mobility of consumers, restrictions to open stores, and logistics delays impacting product availability in the outlets, (2) Indonesia’s underperformance driven by longer than anticipated sales force adoption of business model and compensation plan adjustments, and (3) Malaysia mainly related to lower sales force engagement and recruiting, lower consumer spending caused in part by removal of government subsidy on food essentials, and lower sales volume negatively impacted by price increases.
Europe, decreased $19.0 million, driven by lower sales force activity across the segment, including from lower consumer spending as a group,result of continued deterioration of consumer sentiment, higher inflation, higher gas prices, and negative impact from price increases. In addition, the segment was negatively impacted by timing of business-to-business transactions, mainly in Germany.
North America, decreased 1 percent compared with 2016,$16.3 million, primarily driven by Europe, Nutrimetics Australiadue to lower recruiting and New Zealand, partially offset by increases at Beauticontrol andoverall sales force productivity in the Tupperware businesssegment, longer than anticipated adoption of compensation plan changes in the United States and Canada.Canada, and negative impact from price increases.
OperatingSouth America, increased $4.5 million, driven by Argentina, primarily from a larger total and active sales force, including from higher retention, higher productivity, as well as higher prices due to inflation.

The negative impact to net income decreased 25 and 36 percent, respectively,sales in the third quarter including $0.9 million and $0.5 million positive impacts from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, respectively. In 2017 versus 2016, net income included $20.1 million lower pre-tax gains from real estate transactions, higher pre-tax re-engineering costs in connection with the Company's restructuring plan announced in July 2017,of 2022 as well as operating costs associated with the Company's decision to wind-down Beauticontrol.
Sales for the year-to-date period increased 3a result of COVID-19 is estimated at 2 percent, on both a reported and local currency basis. The factors impacting the year-to-date sales were similar to those impacting the third quarter comparisons, along with increased sales in Tupperware Mexico and South Africa, while sales at Beauticontrol decreased on a year-to-date basis. The factors impacting the year-to-date net income comparison were similar to the quarter comparison, along with $62.9 million goodwill impairment related to Fuller Mexico and lower segment profit in Europe.
Net cash flow from operating activities for the periods ending September 30, 2017 and September 24, 2016 were inflows of $80.8 million and $92.3 million, respectively. The unfavorable comparison primarily reflected less collections of accounts receivable mainly due to the higher balance at December 2015 versus 2016, and their subsequent collection, higher cash tax payments in the first nine months of 2017, and a larger outflow from inventory production and procurement. The net impact of these items was partially offsetdriven by a decrease in the outflow of cash related to other net working capital items, particularly payables due to the timing of payments around year-end.
Net Sales
Reported sales increased 3 percent in the third quarter. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales increased 2 percent.China. The average impact of higher prices was 2 percent.
The Company's emerging market units accounted for 71approximately 11 percent of sales in the third quartersquarter of 20172022, while the negative impact from lower volumes was approximately 30 percent.

Net sales were $991.3 million and 2016. In 2017, reported$1,207.4 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Net Sales were down in Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America, and up in South America compared to the year-to-date period ended September 25, 2021. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales in these units increased $13.9decreased $162.7 million or 414 percent, which included a positive $1.7 million impact from foreign currency exchange rates. The units with the most significant increases were mainly in Argentina, from higher prices associated with high inflation, in Brazil, due to a larger sales force size, and in China, from higher productivity, including fromfactors largely mirroring those noted above with respect to the addition of members that are customers of the studios and digital marketing initiatives. The sales growth in these units was partially offset by fewer active sellers in Fuller Mexico, India and Indonesia, as well as lower productivity in Indonesia. The average impact of higher prices in the emerging market units was 3 percent.
Reported sales in the established market units increased 3 percent. Excluding a positive $4.8 million impactexplanation of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 1 percent, with the most significant decreases in France, and Nutrimetics Australia and New Zealand, due to fewer active sellers, and in Germany from a smaller sales force and lower productivity. These decreases were partially offset by increases at Beauticontrol, in connection with sales force stocking during the wind-down period, and the United States and Canada from a larger and more active sales force. The average impact of pricing in the established markets was negative 3 percent with about half from significant discounting at Beauticontrol, as well as more aggressive promotional activity.
On a year-to-date basis, emerging markets accounted for 69 percent and 67 percent of total Company sales in 2017 and 2016, respectively. Total sales on a reported basis in the emerging markets increased $67.6 million or 6 percent. Total sales on a reported basis in the established markets decreased $12.6 million, or 2 percent. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates was not significant on the year-to-date comparisons of either the emerging or established markets. The sources of the year-to-date fluctuations largely followed those of the third quarter comparison, alongof 2022 compared with 2021. Below is the net sales performance by segment for the year-to-date period ended September 24, 2022 compared to the year-to-date period ended September 25, 2021.

Asia Pacific, decreased $55.1 million
Europe, decreased $69.9 million
North America, decreased $49.1 million

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $175.6 million and $190.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact of $11.8 million, selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $3.3 million primarily due to lower sales volumes impacting the following:

$3.2 million decrease in administration costs mainly related to stock compensation, partially offset by increases in incremental expense to support the omnichannel strategy and improve service
$1.2 million decrease in distribution costs, inclusive of the negative impact from expenses related to the rationalization of warehouses in the United States and Canada
partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in selling costs, mainly related to higher commission expenses in India and Indonesia
promotional costs remained in line with prior year as the $2.9 million cost reduction from lower sales volume was offset by a $2.9 million re-investment in sales force in-person events and meetings

Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales was 52.658.0 percent and 50.6 percent in the third quarter of 2017,2022 and 2021, respectively. The 7.4 pp increase in selling, general and administrative expense as compared with 54.5 percentto the third quarter of 2021 is primarily due to:

Specific segment impacts are discussed in the segment results section.

Re-engineering Costs
Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of re-engineering activities and accruals.
The Company recorded $9.0 million and $2.4 million in re-engineering charges during the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $43.9 million and $5.4 million for the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 201724, 2022 and September 24, 2016,25, 2021, respectively.
In 2017, these charges were primarily related to restructuring actions taken The 5.7 pp increase in connection with the Company's plans, through 2018 or 2019, to rationalize its supply chainselling, general and to adjust the cost base of several marketing units. The restructuring charges also relateadministrative expense as compared to the Company's decisionyear to wind-down the Beauticontrol reporting unit due to a historydate as of declining revenues, operating losses and the competitive environment in the direct selling channel and retail sector for beauty and personal care products in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. In connection with the decision to wind-down Beauticontrol, the Company recorded $3.2 million in cost of sales for inventory obsolescence, as well as $1.5 million in operating losses in light of significant discounting, during the third quarter of 2017.2021 is primarily due to:
In addition
1.6 pp increase from higher selling and marketing costs as a result of higher investments to the amounts recordedsupport business to business, retail, and e-commerce strategies

1.4 pp increase from higher administration costs and other expenses mainly due to reversals of non-income tax reserves in Brazil in the second and third quarterquarters of 2017, the Company expects2021, and to record $20 to $25 million of pretax restructuring costs in the fourth quarter of 2017 and, including these 2017 amounts, a total of $100 to $110 million through 2018 or 2019. This excludes the benefit of selling fixed assets that become excess in connection with the re-engineering actions to be undertaken. The proceeds associated with such sales are expected to be up to $35 million. Of the total $100 million to $110 million in costs, the Company estimates that about 80 percent relates to severance and benefits, while the balance is predominantly related to costs to exit leases and other contracts, as well as write-offs of excess assets for which there are not expected to be disposal proceeds. The 2017 cash outflow related to the restructuring actions, including the wind-down of Beauticontrol, is expected to be about $25 million, and including this amount, the total cash outflow in connection with the actions over time is expected to be $90 to $100 million before proceedsan enterprise award from the sale of fixed assets connected with the re-engineering actions. The annualized benefit of these actions once fully implemented, is expected to be about $35 million with a small amount of benefitlocal government in 2017 and about two-thirds of the annualized benefit to be realized in 2018. Savings will come mainly through lower cost of products sold, as well as lower DS&A expense.
In 2016, the charges were primarily related to severance costs incurred for headcount reductions in several of the Company’s operations in connection with changes in its management and organizational structures.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company's goodwill and intangible assets relate primarily to the December 2005 acquisition of the direct-to-consumer businesses of Sara Lee Corporation. The Company has early adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-04: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
In the third quarter of 2017, the Company completed the annual assessments for all of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets, concluding there were no impairments. The Company performed only qualitative assessments in the third quarter of 2017.
In the second quarter of 2017, as part of its on-going assessment of goodwill and intangible assets, the Company noted that the sales, profitability and cash flow of Fuller Mexico had fallen below its recent trend lines and would fall significantly short of previous expectations for the year. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment test as of the end of May 2017, recording an impairment charge of $62.9 million.

The impairment evaluation of the Fuller Mexico reporting unit included a fair value analysis, for which the significant assumptions included annual revenue growth rates ranging from negative 10 percent to positive 4 percent, a compound average growth rate of 1.6 percent, and a 3 percent growth rate used in calculating the terminal value. The discount rate used for Fuller Mexico was 15.8 percent,China which was 1.0 percentage point higher than at the time of the annual assessment performed in the third quarter of 2016 based on changes to interest rates and other macro-economic factors in Mexico since that time.

In 2016, the Company estimated the fair value of this reporting unit at an amount that exceeded its carrying value by about 20 percent. However, the estimated fair value was dependent upon the Company's ability in 2017 to overcome a trend of negative sales, profit and cash flow that began in 2011, and the discount rate to be applied not increasing. In its 2016 annual assessment for Fuller Mexico, the Company projected 1 percent growth in sales for 2017, mainly from expectations over the second half of the year. Since 2011, local currency sales have declined an average of 5 percent, ranging from negative 2 percent to negative 9 percent. Local currency sales declined 9 percentreceived in the first quarter of 2017. Operating profit as a percentage2021 and did not repeat in 2022, partially offset by lower management incentives

However, in April and May of 2017, the sales, profit and cash flow trends worsened significantly with declines in the mid-to-high teens and operating profit as a percentage of sales in the mid-single digits. As a result, the Company concluded, as part of its on-going process to assess goodwill and intangible assets, that a triggering event for impairment had occurred and performed the fair value analysis as described. Since 2011, Fuller Mexico has been impacted by a challenging macro-economic environment, increased competition in the retail and direct selling sectors for beauty and personal care products,Canada, as well as expenses related to the resultsrationalization of certain strategieswarehouses in the United States and marginCanada

The Company segregates selling, general and administrative expenses into allocated and unallocated expenses based upon the estimated time spent managing segment operations. The allocated expenses are then apportioned on a local currency basis to groweach segment based primarily upon segment net sales. The unallocated expenses reflect amounts unrelated to segment operations. Selling, general and administrative expense to be allocated is determined at the sales, profit and cash flow.
Fuller Mexico continues to carry a total sales force size and field manager deficit asbeginning of the end of September, despite new programs aimed at higher rates of sales force additionsyear based upon estimated expenditures.

Unallocated expenses were $12.1 million and retention and increased activity. These programs and trends were considered as part of the fair value evaluation performed as of the end of May 2017. With the estimated fair value of the reporting unit equaling its carrying value as of the end of the May 2017 evaluation, the Fuller Mexico reporting unit has a high risk of future impairment to the remaining goodwill balance of $18.9 million. Fuller Mexico's performance in the third quarter of 2017 was not out of line with assumptions built into the fair value evaluation performed as of the end of May 2017, despite the impact of the natural disasters in Mexico during the third quarter of 2017. Any lingering impacts into the fourth quarter 2017 are expected to be temporary and not impactful to the long-term value of the business. A deterioration in key operating metrics, such as sales force size, and/or operating performance significantly below current expectations, including changes in projected future revenue, profitability and cash flow, as well as higher working capital, interest rates, or cost of capital, could have a negative effect on the fair value of the reporting unit. In addition, the Company is unable to predict, at this time, whether there will be a significant, long-term impact to the Fuller Mexico operations due to changes in the macro-economic environment. Should the Company's programs and strategies to improve the key performance indicators as outlined above not be able to overcome the general trends in the business and/or macro-economic factors in the time frame forecast, which could also impact the long-term discount rate values used in estimating fair value, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit could fall below its carrying value. This would result in recording an impairment to the goodwill of Fuller Mexico.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $10.7$7.2 million in the third quarter of 2017, compared with $12.02022 and 2021, respectively. The $4.9 million in 2016. In the year-to-date periods, net interest expense was $32.7 million in 2017, compared with $33.8 million in 2016. The change in net interest expense in the year-over-year comparisons wasincrease is primarily due to relative changes in forward points relatedlower reversal of management incentives as compared to the Company's forward currency contracts.

Tax Rate
The effective tax rate for the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2017 were 44.3 percent and 43.4 percent compared with 38.4 percent and 30.4 percent, respectively, for the comparable 2016 periods. The change in the year-to-date rate was2021 due to the impairment and other charges, for which limited tax benefits were available.
As discussedreduction in Note 14 to2022 happening throughout the Consolidated Financial Statements,first three quarters while the Company's uncertain tax positions increase the potential for volatility in its tax rate. As such, it is reasonably possible that the effective tax rates in any individual quarter will vary from the full year expectation. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate what impact that may have on any individual quarter. Under the FASB amendment to existing guidance regarding employee share-based payments, as of January 1, 2017, all excess tax benefits and tax deficits will be recognized in the income statement. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s estimated tax benefit regarding employee-share-based payments included in the 2017 effective rate was $0.4 million. The Company's adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact2021 reduction started in the third quarter, of 2017, but may cause volatilityincreased information technology investments, and higher legal costs related to intellectual property, partially offset by lower stock compensation costs.

Unallocated expenses were $47.4 million and $30.9 million in the future depending on the timingyear-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and intrinsic value of future share basedSeptember 25, 2021, respectively. The $16.5 million increase is primarily due to information technology investments, partially offset by lower management incentives and stock compensation award exercises.costs.

Re-engineering chargeswere $4.5 million and $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared with 2016, primarily reflecting $20.12022 and 2021, respectively, and $13.0 million lower pre-tax gains from real estate transactions, $6.6and $9.7 million higher pre-taxin the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. These re-engineering charges were mainly related to the “Turnaround Plan” which was launched in mid-2020 under the new leadership. Declines in revenue led the Company to evaluate its operating structure leading to actions designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiency, and otherwise turn around its business. These actions often result in connection withre-engineering charges related to headcount reductions and facility down-sizing and closures, as well as related asset write-downs. Other costs are costs that may be necessary in light of the revised operating landscape that include structural changes impacting how the Company's sales force operates. The Company may recognize gains or losses upon disposal of excess facilities or other activities directly related to its re-engineering efforts.

(gain) on disposal of assets were a loss of $2.3 million and a gain of $8.9 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The year-to-date loss for the period ended September 24, 2022 is primarily due to the write off of information technology assets and the year-to-date gain for the period ended September 25, 2021 was largely due to the sale of a manufacturing plant in France and an office building in the Netherlands.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

The Company restructured its debt in the fourth quarter of 2021 and as such did not have any debt extinguishment activity in the third quarter of 2022. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company did not extinguish debt. The Company did not have any activity in the year-to-date period decreased 58 percent,ended September 24, 2022, but had payments of $101.2 million to reduce its debt in the year-to-date period ended September 25, 2021 that resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $8.1 million.
Interest Expense

Interest expense was $8.3 million and $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $18.9 million and $29.7 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2022 is slightly higher as compared with 2016, includingto the third quarter of 2021 due to the recent increases in interest rates. The year-to-date decrease in interest expense is a positiveresult of the debt restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2021, which resulted in a significant reduction in interest rates versus the prior debt outstanding under the previous credit agreement.

Interest Income

Interest income was $1.3 million and $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3.2 million and $0.9 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Interest income is related to the interest earned on the Company's cash balances. Interest income in the third quarter of 2022 and year-to-date period ended September 24, 2022 has increased as the Company invests its excess cash, primarily in Argentina.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net was expense of $1.6 million and $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The expense of $6.6 million and $0.8 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively, are primarily driven by foreign currency losses. The Company records foreign currency translation impacts and pension costs in this line item.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Provision (benefit) for income taxes was a provision of $11.0 million and a benefit of $12.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and a provision of $32.6 million and $32.2 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was 152.8 percent and (25.8) percent in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, was primarily due to:

a non-recurring favorable impact from a tax policy change elected in the prior year related to a tax method change for certain direct and indirect costs of inventory and self-constructed assets under IRC Section 263A,
an unfavorable jurisdictional mix of earnings, significantly impacted by the marginal pre-tax earnings in the third quarter of 2022,
negative impact of the GILTI regime, which results in a reduction of benefits on domestic losses,
additional valuation allowance on disallowed interest expense due to the change in IRC Section 163(j) rules from EBIDTA to EBIT. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for interest carryforwards, and
as described in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment to income tax expense during the third quarter of 2022, which resulted in a $1.3 million decrease in income from continuing operations. This error resulted from intercompany costs which were allocated to an incorrect legal entity resulting in net understatement of income tax expense for these entities.

Net (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations

Net (loss) income from continuing operations was a loss of $3.8 million and income of $60.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and income of $3.2 million and $136.2 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. See above discussion for the main drivers of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Net sales were $85.4 million and $43.6 million, or 43 percent and 41 percent of the reported sales in the segment in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. On a local currency basis, the emerging market units' sales increased by 7 percent, primarily reflecting a larger sales force size in Tupperware South Africa and a more productive sales force in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
The established markets' reported sales decreased 1 percent. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, these markets decreased 7 percent, primarily reflecting a decrease from a smaller, less active sales force in France, as well as a smaller, less productive sales force in Germany.

Excluding theforeign exchange impact, of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, segment profitsales decreased $0.8$19.4 million or 19 percent, primarily due to lower sales along with higher bad debtforce activity in China, Indonesia, and distribution costs.Malaysia, including from lower recruiting in Indonesia and Malaysia. China’s sales declined mainly due to continued COVID-19 lockdowns resulting in limited mobility of consumers, restrictions to open stores, and logistics delays impacting product availability at the outlets. Indonesia's underperformance was driven by longer than anticipated sales force adoption of business model and compensation plan adjustments, while Malaysia’s performance was negatively impacted by lower sales force engagement and recruiting, lower consumer spending caused in part by removal of government subsidy on food essentials, and lower sales volume negatively impacted by price increases.
On a year-to-date basis, reported sales decreased 1 percent compared with 2016. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales in 2017 were down 2 percent compared with 2016. The factors impacting the sales comparison are largely the same as the quarter.

Emerging markets accounted for $157.9 million and $160.3 million, or 86 percent and 85 percent of the reported sales in the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Excluding the negative $2.1 million impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales in these units were even with 2016. The most significant decreases were in Indonesia from a smaller, less active and less productive sales force, and in India from significantly fewer active sellers in light of requirements under the federal government's direct selling guidelines and the constrained consumer spending due to implementation of a nationwide goods and services tax on July 1, 2017. This was partially offset by China, primarily related to higher studio productivity, including from digital marketing initiatives to its members, of which there were 62 percent more at the end of September 2017 compared with September 2016. China ended the quarter with 5,900 experience studios, which was 7 percent more than at the end of the third quarter of 2016.

Net sales were $86.3 million and $103.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales decreased $16.3 million or 16 percent, primarily due to lower recruiting and sales force activity, which were negatively impacted by price increases in Mexico and the United States and Canada. Mexico sales were further impacted by timing of business-to-business sales. The United States and Canada performance was also negatively impacted by lower sales force activity resulting from an increase in the targeted sales levels required for the sales force to achieve commissions.

The average impact of higher prices was approximately 10 percent in the third quarter of 2022 compared with 2021. The negative impact to net sales from lower volume was approximately 26 percent.

Segment profit was $5.7 million and $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, segment profit decreased $4.7 million, primarily due to:

lower sales volume in Mexico and the United States and Canada
lower gross margin due to higher product costs across the segment, including from manufacturing inefficiencies
higher distribution expenses related to the rationalization of warehouses, partially offset by lower outbound freight as a result of lower sales volume, in the United States and Canada
higher promotional costs due to return to in-person conferences and meetings
partially offset by lower sales force commissions in the United States and Canada related to an increase in the targeted sales levels required for the sales force to achieve commissions

Net sales were $70.3 million and $69.6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales increased $4.5 million or 7 percent, due to higher net sales in Argentina primarily from a larger total and active sales force, including from higher retention and productivity, as well as higher prices due to inflation, partially offset by a sales decline in Brazil from lower sales force activity driven by challenging macroeconomic conditions ahead of presidential and general elections.

The average impact of higher prices was approximately 18 percent in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the2022 compared with 2021. The negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates,to net sales from lower volume was approximately 17 percent.

In the third quarter of 2017,2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, segment profit increased $0.9 million driven by higher profit in Argentina from higher sales volume, partially offset by Brazil due to the Company announced it would wind-down its Beauticontrol business. During full year 2016, Beauticontrolreversal of a non-income tax reserve in the third quarter of 2021.

Net sales were $46.4 million, including $9.8$202.4 million and $11.5$193.8 million in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impact, sales increased $11.4 million or 6 percent, driven by Argentina and partially offset by Brazil, due to factors largely mirroring those noted above with respect to the explanation of changes in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, and therequarter of 2022 compared with 2021.

Segment profit was an operating loss of $9.4 million, including $3.2$38.9 million and $0.9$46.8 million in the thirdyear-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and fourth quarters,September 25, 2021, respectively. InExcluding foreign exchange impact, segment profit decreased $7.8 million, primarily due to the first,reversal of $10 million in non-income tax reserves in Brazil in the second and third quarters of 2017, Beauticontrol sales were $9.5 million, $9.1 million2021, and $12.3 million, respectively, and operating losses were $1.4 million, $1.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
Reported sales for the segment increased 3 percent in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 1 percent, reflecting lower sales by Fuller Mexico from fewer active sellers, in part, from the impacts of natural disasters occurring during the third quarter of 2017. This decrease was partially offset byto higher sales at Beauticontrol in connection with sales force stocking during the wind-down period. On average, prices decreased 3 percent from significant discounting at Beauticontrol.
There was a $4.6 million loss in the third quarter, primarily related to lower gross margins, including increased inventory write-offs and significant discounting in light of the winding down of Beauticontrol operations. This loss was partially offset by segment profit at Fuller Mexico that was lower than in the prior year from lower sales. There was no significant impact on the comparison from changes in exchange rates.
The year-to-date sales and segment profit trend was similar to the third quarter, except that on a year-to-date basis Beauticontrol sales were down, while its loss was lower than in 2016.
The Mexican peso was the main currency that impacted the year-over-year sales comparisons.

The largest increase in local currency sales was in Brazil,Brazilian Real had the Company's largest business unit, reflecting a larger sales force, partially offset by lower productivity in light of a tough consumer spending environment. The sales in Argentina and Venezuela increased mainly from higher prices.
Reported and restated segment profit decreased $0.3 million or 1 percent inmost meaningful impact on the third quarter of 2017, despite the increased sales, primarily due to a $2.4 million impact from inventory in Venezuela being included in cost of goods sold at the stronger, historical exchange rate when it was procured and produced rather than the rate used to translate sales in the quarter, and the transaction impact on2022 net monetary assets from the weakening of the Venezuelan bolivar in light of the hyper-inflationary environment in the country, as well as a lower drop through to profit relative to sales from higher operating costs in Brazil.
The year-to-date sales and profit comparisons largely mirrored the quarter, except for a larger impact on sales from foreign currency exchange rates in the year-to-date periodcomparisons.

Credit Agreement

On November 23, 2021, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tupperware Products AG, Administradora Dart, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tupperware Brands Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (the “Subsidiary Borrowers”), entered into a credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), swingline lender, and issuing bank; Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Fifth Third Bank, and Truist Securities Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners; and BMO Harris Bank, N.A, Fifth Third Bank, National Association, and Truist Bank, as syndication agents. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility (“Revolver Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount available to the timingCompany and the Subsidiary Borrowers of up to $480.0 million, (ii) a term facility available to the Company in U.S. dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million (“USD Term Loan”) and (iii) a term facility available to the Company or the Swiss subsidiary borrower in Euros in an aggregate principal amount of €176.0 million, (“Euro Term Loan”). The USD Term Loan and Euro Term Loan are collectively defined as the “Term Loan”.

The Revolver Facility is divided into (a) global tranche, Mexican tranche, and Singaporean tranche commitments, with the aggregate amount of borrowings under each tranche not to exceed $450.0 million, $15.0 million, and $15.0 million, respectively, (b) a global tranche letter of credit facility, available up to $50.0 million of the amount of the Revolver Facility, and (c) a global tranche swingline facility, available up to $100.0 million of the amount of the Revolver Facility. Each of such tranches is available to the Company and the applicable Subsidiary Borrowers, with extensions of credit to the Subsidiary Borrowers not to exceed $325.0 million in the aggregate at any time outstanding. The Company is permitted to increase, subject to certain conditions, the Revolver Facility, the USD Term Loan and/or the Euro Term Loan so long as (i) the Revolver Facility is increased by no more than $250.0 million (for a
47

maximum aggregate Revolver Facility of $730.0 million) and (ii) all facilities are increased by no more than $250.0 million, plus certain repayments of the loans under the Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and the other parties, plus an unlimited amount provided that the incurrence of such amount does not cause the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement and which shall be calculated net of up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (“Cash Netting”)) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to exceed 3.00 to 1.00.

Each of the Revolver Facility, the USD Term Loan, and the Euro Term Loan will mature on November 23, 2026. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are (a) guaranteed by (i) with respect to the Subsidiary Borrowers, the Parent Borrower and (ii) with respect to both the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers, each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect material wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of the Parent Borrower (each a “Guarantor”) and (b) secured by substantially all tangible and intangible personal property of the Parent Borrower and each Guarantor and all products, profits and proceeds of the foregoing, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio requirements, compliance with laws, delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements, restrictions on the incurrence of liens, indebtedness, asset dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments around year-end.and other customary covenants. The Credit Agreement also includes events of default relating to customary matters (and customary notice and cure periods), including, among other things, nonpayment of principal, interest or other amounts; violation of covenants; incorrectness of representations and warranties in any material respect; cross-payment default and cross acceleration with respect to material indebtedness; bankruptcy; material judgments; and certain ERISA events. The Credit Agreement also includes an acceleration clause which permits the lenders to accelerate the maturity date under certain circumstances including material adverse effects on the Company's financial status.

The Company continueshas prepayment options, as well as mandatory quarterly prepayments that started on March 31, 2022.

For purposes of the Credit Agreement, consolidated EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to carry debtexclude unusual, non-recurring gains as well as non-cash charges and certain other items. Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio is the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness minus up to $100.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on the last day of each measurement period to (b) consolidated EBITDA for such measurement period, and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is the ratio of (x) consolidated EBITDA on the last day of each measurement period to (y) the Consolidated Interest Charges for such measurement period.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company shall not permit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (a) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to be greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 (subject to Cash Netting) which may be increased two times during the term of the Credit Agreement by 0.25 to 1.00 in connection with any acquisition permitted by the $600Credit Agreement having aggregate cash consideration in excess of $75 million or (b) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended to be less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

Considering the current global market volatility, inflationary cost pressures primarily in senior notes dueChina and Europe, and a change in 2021.the Company’s liquidity year-to-date, effective August 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “First Amendment to Credit Agreement”) to amend certain provisions and covenants to, among other things, (i) allow for a temporary higher maximum total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.5x in the third quarter of 2022, 4.25x in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, and 3.75x in the second quarter of 2023 and thereafter to allow for additional operating flexibility to execute fully on the Company’s Turnaround Plan; (ii) introduce two additional pricing levels for total Net Leverage Ratios of 3.0x to 3.5x, and for 3.5x and higher, with a provision to revert to pricing per the original agreement following achievement of a total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.75x or less for two consecutive quarters following the covenant modification period; (iii) replace LIBOR with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the reference interest rate on the entire facility, with a 0% SOFR floor and credit spread adjustments across one-, three-, and six-month tenors.

As of September 30, 2017,24, 2022, the Company had total borrowings of $191.0 million outstanding under its Credit Agreement, including $95.5 million denominated in euro.
Loans taken under the Credit Agreement bear interest under a formula that includes, at the Company's option, one of three different base rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company normally chooses LIBOR as its base rate. Although the Company's euro LIBOR base rate was below zero throughout the first nine months of 2017 and currently, under the Credit Agreement the base rate cannot be below zero. As of September 30, 2017, the Credit Agreement dictated a spread of 150 basis points, which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate of 4.39% with a base rate spread of 275 basis points on LIBOR basedSOFR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears and at maturity. As of 2.1 percent.September 24, 2022, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, with a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 4.17x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 5.93x. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.11x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.23x.

The Company has experienced volatility in earnings during the nine months ended September 24, 2022 as it executes the Turnaround Plan and responds to the unpredictability in the market related to recessionary concerns, inflation and COVID lockdowns. As of September 24, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Due to the volatility in the Company’s earnings and progressive tightening of the financial covenants in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, it is probable that the Company will not be able to maintain compliance with the covenants in its Credit Agreement, including the existing Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, for the next twelve months. The Company is in
48

negotiations with its lenders to amend the Credit Agreement; however, the Company’s ability to amend its covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt, as well as the timing and terms of any such amendment or refinancing, are dependent upon a number of factors, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts.

If the Company is unable to comply with its covenants, including the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, then the Credit Agreement lenders could take action to cause amounts due under the Credit Agreement to become due and payable unless the Company is able to amend such covenants, obtain a waiver or otherwise refinance its debt. If the Company is unable to access future borrowings or is required to pay amounts due under its Credit Agreement prior to their normal maturity dates, this would have a material impact to its financial position. Accordingly, the Company believes that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date of this filing.

The Company is undertaking expense reduction and cash savings initiatives as part of the Turnaround Plan to help continue to pay down its debt and reduce the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. The expense reduction and cash saving initiatives include streamlining facilities, managing working capital, reducing capital expenditures, and reducing overall selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company routinely increases its revolverRevolver Facility borrowings under the Credit Agreement and uncommitted lines during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities, and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash and debt during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end cash and debt balances.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants requiring a minimum level of interest coverage and allowing a maximum amount of leverage. As of
At September 30, 2017, and currently,24, 2022, the Company had considerable cushion under its financial covenants. However, economic conditions, adverse changes in foreign exchange rates, lower than foreseen sales, profit and/or cash flow generation, including from restructuring actions, the payment of dividends, share repurchases or the occurrence of other events discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” and elsewhere could cause noncompliance.
At September 30, 2017, the Company had $494.6$135.3 million of unused lines of credit, including $407.5$131.3 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $87.1$4.0 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world. If necessary, with the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase its borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement by a total of up to $200.0 million.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding the Company's debt.
Cash

The Company monitors the third-party depository institutions that hold its cash and cash equivalents with an emphasis primarily on safety and liquidity of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. The Company diversifies its cash and cash equivalents among counterparties, which minimizes exposure to any one of these entities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
One of the Company's market risks is its exposure to the impact of
The Company may be impacted by interest rate changes on its borrowings. The Company accesses the short-term and long-term markets to obtain financing. Access to, and the availability of acceptable terms and conditions of such financing are impacted by many factors, including: credit ratings, liquidity and volatility of the overall capital markets and the current state of the economy. The Company has elected to manage this risk through the maturity structure of its borrowings and the currencies in which it borrows.

Interest Rate Risk

Loans taken under the Credit Agreement are of a short duration and bear interest under a formula that includes, at the Company's option, one of three differentfixed basis spread on SOFR as its base rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company generally selects the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR"). Although the Company’s euro LIBOR base rate was below zero throughout the first nine months of 2017 and currently, under the Credit Agreement, the base rate cannot be below zero.rate. As of September 30, 2017,24, 2022, the Credit Agreement dictated a spread of 150 basis points, which gave the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 4.39 percent with a base rate spread of 275 basis points on its U.S. dollarUnited States Dollar and euroEuro denominated LIBOR basedSOFR/EURIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement of 2.1 percent.Agreement.

As of September 30, 2017,24, 2022, the Company had total borrowings of $191.0$702.0 million outstanding under its Credit Agreement, with $95.5€172.7 million denominated in euro.Euro. If short-term interest rates varied by 10 percent, which in the Company'sCompany’s case would mean short duration U.S. dollarUnited States Dollar and euro LIBOR,EURIBOR, with all other variables remaining constant, the Company's annual interest expense would not be significantly impacted.
The Company routinely increases its revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement and uncommitted lines during each quarter to fund operating, investing and financing activities and uses cash available at the end of each quarter to reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company incurs more interest expense and has higher foreign exchange exposure on the value of its cash during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end cash and debt balances.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

A significant portion of the Company'sCompany’s sales and profit come from its international operations. Although these operations are geographically dispersed, which partially mitigates the risks associated with operating in particular countries, the Company is subject to the usual risks associated with international operations. These risks include local political and economic environments and relations between foreign and U.S.United States governments.

Another economic risk of the Company is exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the earnings, cash flows and financial position of its international operations. The Company is not able to project, in any meaningful way, the effect of these possible fluctuations on translated amounts or future earnings. This is due to the Company'sCompany’s constantly changing exposure to various currencies, the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollarUnited States Dollar and the large number of currencies involved, although the Company'sCompany’s most significant income and cash flow exposures are to the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, euro,Euro, Indonesian rupiahRupiah, and Mexican peso.Peso.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company'sCompany’s local product sourcing in many countries, a strengthening U.S. dollarUnited States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts, to hedge, its exposure to certain foreign exchange risks associated with a portion of its investment in international operations. In addition to hedging against the balance sheet impact of changes in exchange rates, the hedge of investments in international operations also has the effect of hedging a portion of cash flows from those operations. The Company also hedges, with these instruments, certain other exposures to various currencies arising from amounts payable and receivable, non-permanent intercompany transactions and a portion of purchases forecasted for generally up to the following 15 months. The Company does not seek to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations on the translated value of the sales, profit or cash flow generated by its operations.

While the Company'sCompany’s derivatives that hedge a portion of its equity in its foreign subsidiaries and its fair value hedges ofthe balance sheet risks all work togetherrisk to mitigate its exposure to foreign exchange gains or losses, they result in an impact to operating cash flows as they are settled. For the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 24, 2016, theThe net cash flow impact of these currency hedges was an inflowinflows of $5.8$0.8 million and an outflow of $5.6$4.2 million, in the year-to-date periods ended September 24, 2022 and September 25, 2021, respectively.


The U.S. dollarUnited States Dollar equivalent of the Company'sCompany’s most significant net open forward contracts as of September 30, 201724, 2022 were to buy $123.4purchase Indonesian Rupiah worth $89.3 million, of U.S. dollarsMexican Pesos worth $53.8 million and $23.8Euros worth $11.4 million of euro and to sell $46.4 million of Swiss francs and $36.7 million of Mexican pesos.Franc worth $57.3 million. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars,United States Dollars, for example, an appreciating dollar versus the opposing currency would generate a cash inflow for the Company at settlement, with the opposite result in agreements to buy foreign currencies for U.S. dollars.United States Dollars. The notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company'sCompany’s outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing as of September 30, 2017,24, 2022, the Company was inhad a net payable positionderivative asset of approximately $7.8$0.1 million related to its currency hedges under forward contracts, which upon settlement,contracts. Currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on the Company'sCompany’s cash flow. The Company recordsflow upon the impactsettlement of its forward points in net interest expense.contracts.

A precise calculation of the impact of currency fluctuations is not practical since some of the contracts are between non-U.S. dollarnon-United States Dollar currencies. The Company continuously monitors its foreign currency exposure and expects to enter into additional contracts to hedge exposure in the future. See further discussion regarding the Company'sCompany’s hedging activities for foreign currency in Note 1114: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

The Company is subject to credit risks relating to the ability of counterparties of hedging transactions to meet their contractual payment obligations. The risks related to creditworthiness and non performancenon-performance have been considered in the determination of fair value for the Company'sCompany’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company continues to closely monitor its counterparties and will take action, as appropriate and possible, to further manage its counterparty credit risk.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is also exposed to rising material prices in its manufacturing operations and, in particular, the cost of oil and natural gas-based resins, including the fact that in some cases resin prices are actually in, or are based on, currencies other than that of the unit buying the resin, which introduces a currency exposure that is incremental to the exposure to changing market prices. Resins are the primary material used in production of most Tupperware®Company products, and the Company estimates that 20172022 cost of sales will include approximately $150$94.2 million for the cost of resin in the Tupperware® brand products it produces and has contract manufactured. The Company uses many different kinds of resins in its products. About three-fourths of the value of its resinsresin purchases are “polyolefins” (simple chemical structure, easily refined from oil and natural gas), and as such, the price of these is typically strongly affected by the underlying price of oil and natural gas.. The remaining one-fourth of the value of its resinsresin purchases is more highly engineered, where the price of oil and natural gas plays a less direct role in determining price.engineered. With a comparable product mix and exchange rates, the Company estimates that a 10 percent fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company'sCompany’s annual cost of sales by approximately $15$9.4 million compared with the prior year. In the third quarter of 2017, there was a $2 million negative impact on its gross margin related to sales of the Tupperware® products it produced and had contract manufactured due to resin cost changes, as compared with 2016. For full year 2017 compared with 2016, there will be an estimated $7 million negative impact of resin cost changes, on a local currency basis, on the Company's gross margin related to sales of the Tupperware® products it produces and has contract manufactured. In addition to the impact of the price of oil and natural gas, the priceThe amount the Company pays for its resins is also impacted by the relative changes in supply and demand. The Company partially manages its risk associated with rising resin costs by utilizing a centralized procurement function that is able to take advantage of bulk discounts while maintaining multiple suppliers, and also enters into short-term pricing arrangements. It also manages its margin through cash flow hedges in some cases when it purchases resin in currencies, or effectively in currencies, other than that of the purchasing unit,unit. This is done through the pricing of its products, with price increases over time on its product offerings generally in line with consumer inflation in each market, and its mix of sales through its promotional programs and promotionally priced offers. It also, on occasion, makes advance material purchases to take advantage of current favorable pricing. At this point in time, the Company has determined that entering into forward contracts for resin is not practical or cost beneficial and has no such contracts in place. However, should circumstances warrant, the Company may consider such contracts in the future.
The Company has a program to sell land held for development around its Orlando, Florida headquarters ("Orlando Land"). This program is exposed to the risks inherent in the real estate development process. Included among these risks is the ability to obtain all necessary government approvals, the success

II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

A number of ordinary-course legal and administrative proceedings against the Company or its subsidiaries are pending. In addition to such proceedings, there are certain proceedings that involve the discharge of materials into, or otherwise relating to the protection of, the environment. Certain of such proceedings involve federal environmental laws such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as well as state and local laws. The Company has established reserves with respect to certain of such proceedings. Because of the involvement of other parties and the uncertainty of potential environmental impacts, the eventual outcomes of such actions and the cost and timing of expenditures cannot be determined with certainty. It is not expected that the outcome of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

As part of the 1986 reorganization involving the formation of Premark, Premark was spun-off by Dart & Kraft, Inc., and Kraft Foods, Inc. assumed any liabilities arising out of any legal proceedings in connection with certain divested or discontinued former businesses of Dart Industries Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, including matters alleging product and environmental liability. The assumption of liabilities by Kraft Foods, Inc. (now Mondelez International, Inc.) remains effective subsequent to the distribution of the equity of the Company to Premark shareholders in 1996.

In February 2020, putative stockholder class actions were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and a lead plaintiff was appointed. On July 31, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges that statements in public filings between January 31, 2018 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s stock during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. The Company's motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on January 25, 2021, but the court permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on April 2, 2021. The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 9, 2021, but again permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on August 30, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 14, 2021, and on February 4, 2022, the Court dismissed the third amended complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff filed an appeal on April 11, 2022, which was fully briefed with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals as of June 1, 2022. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled oral argument for the appeal in December 2022. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Additionally, several putative stockholders filed stockholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The cases were consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on August 5, 2020. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims against certain current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and contribution for violations of the securities laws based on allegations that the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Court stayed proceedings in this action pending resolution of the appeal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. A similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. The parties reached an agreement to stay this action pending the resolution of the appeal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In June 2022, a putative stockholder class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that statements made in public filings between November 3, 2021 and May 3, 2022 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s earnings and sales performance and full year 2022 guidance violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the potential class period and demands unspecified monetary damages. The plaintiff intends to file an amended complaint in late November 2022. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of this action would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In August 2022, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in Florida state court against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The derivative complaint asserts claims against the former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on allegations that, among other things, the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Company is unable at this time to
57

determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The SEC was conducting an inquiry into the Company’s accounting practices relating to its previously-owned Fuller Mexico business and its Tupperware Mexico business. On September 29, 2022, the SEC issued a final order approving the settlement of the inquiry. Under the terms of the order, the Company neither admits nor denies the SEC's findings and paid an immaterial civil penalty, which was fully accrued in the second quarter of 2022.



Item 1A. Risk Factors

Reference is made to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information concerning risk factors. The Company is adding the following risk factors as set forth below.

The following risk factors should be read in conjunction with, and supplement, the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of each of the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 26, 2022 and June 25, 2022. Before making an investment in the Company’s securities, investors should carefully consider the risk discussed below, together with the other information in this Report, including the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the other reports and materials filed by the Company with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known by the Company or that are currently deemed immaterial may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

There is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, and this may adversely affect the Company's stock price and the Company's ability to raise capital.

Pursuant to ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company is required to and does evaluate at each annual and interim period whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Based on the definitions in the relevant accounting standards, management has determined that while it is currently in compliance with the covenants under its Credit Agreement, due to the volatility in the Company’s earnings and progressive tightening of the financial covenants in the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, it is probable that the Company will not be able to maintain compliance with the covenants in its Credit Agreement, including the existing Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant, for the next twelve months, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 24, 2022 have been prepared on a going concern basis. Although the Company has taken, and plans to continue to take, proactive measures to enhance its liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including discussions with the lenders under the Company's Credit Agreement to amend the covenants under the Credit Agreement, there can be no assurance that these measures, including the timing and terms thereof, will be successful or sufficient. An amendment to the Credit Agreement may also lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional financial covenants and other lender protections. The substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern may affect the price of the Company's common stock and the grade of its credit rating, may negatively impact relationships with third parties with whom the Company does business, including customers, vendors and lenders, may impact the Company's ability to raise additional capital or implement its business plan and may impact its ability to comply going forward with covenants in the Credit Agreement.

Whether the Company will be able to successfully negotiate additional flexibility under its Credit Agreement or enter into further amendments to the Credit Agreement for additional flexibility needed in the future will depend on market conditions, the negotiations with those lenders, and the Company’s financial performance. Any failure to obtain additional flexibility under the Company’s Credit Agreement could result in the Company being in default under its Credit Agreement, the pursuit, by the lenders, of certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the Credit Agreement, and the pursuit of additional remedies, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Current and future indebtedness could restrict our operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take specified actions.

The Company must meet certain financial covenants as defined in the applicable agreements to borrow under its credit facilities. Under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), among other covenants, the Company is not permitted as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company (a) for the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to be greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00 (subject to Cash Netting) which may be increased two times during the term of the Credit Agreement by 0.25 to 1.00 in connection with any acquisition permitted by the Credit Agreement having aggregate cash consideration in excess of $75 million or (b) the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in
58

the Credit Agreement) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then ended to be less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00. Effective August 1, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to amend certain provisions and covenants to, among other things, allow for a temporary higher maximum total Net Leverage Ratio of 4.5x in the third quarter of 2022, 4.25x in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023, and 3.75x in the second quarter of 2023 and thereafter to allow for additional operating flexibility to execute fully on the Company’s Turnaround Plan and to introduce two additional pricing levels for total Net Leverage Ratios of 3.0x to 3.5x, and for 3.5x and higher, with a provision to revert to pricing per the original agreement following achievement of a total Net Leverage Ratio of 2.75x or less for two consecutive quarters following the covenant modification period. As of September 24, 2022, the Company had a weighted average interest rate of 4.39% with a base rate spread of 275 basis points on SOFR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Interest is payable in arrears and at maturity. As of September 24, 2022, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants in the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, with a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 4.17x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 5.93x. In the event the Company fails to comply with any of the covenants or to meet its payment obligations, it could lead to an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of outstanding debt obligations. The Company may not have sufficient working capital or liquidity to satisfy its debt obligations in the event of an acceleration of all or a portion of its outstanding obligations. If the Company’s cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, it may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital, or restructure or refinance its indebtedness. The Company’s ability to restructure or refinance its debt in the future will depend on market conditions and the Company’s financial performance at such time. Any refinancing, if at all, of the Company’s debt could be at higher interest rates and may require the Company to comply with more covenants, which could further restrict its business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict the Company from adopting some of these alternatives.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a new credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party to such credit agreement. The new credit agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount available to the Company and the subsidiary borrowers of up to $480 million, (ii) a term facility available to the Company in U.S. dollars in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million and (iii) a term facility available to the Company and the or the Swiss subsidiary borrower in Euros in an aggregate principal amount of €176 million. The revolving facility is divided into (a) global tranche, Mexican tranche, and Singaporean tranche commitments, with the aggregate amount of borrowings under each tranche not to exceed $450 million, $15 million, and $15 million, respectively, (b) a global tranche letter of credit facility, available up to $50 million of the amount of the revolving facility, and (c) a global tranche swingline facility, available up to $100 million of the amount of the revolving facility. Each of such tranches is available to the Company and the applicable subsidiary borrowers, with extensions of credit to the subsidiary borrowers not to exceed $325 million in the aggregate at any time outstanding. The Company is permitted to increase, subject to certain conditions, the revolving facility, the U.S. term facility and/or the Euro term facility so long as (i) the revolving facility is increased by no more than $250 million (for a maximum aggregate revolving facility of $730 million) and (ii) all facilities are increased by no more than $250 million, plus certain repayments of the loans under the credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and the other parties, plus an unlimited amount provided that the incurrence of such amount does not cause the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement and which shall be calculated net of up to $100 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents ("Cash Netting")) for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters then most recently ended to exceed 3.00 to 1.00. As of December 25, 2021, the Company had a Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of 2.11x and a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 8.23x. Each of the Revolving Facility, the U.S. Term Facility, and the Euro Term Facility will mature on November 23, 2026. As the Company's debt approaches maturity, if the Company is unable to refinance its new credit facility, or if the Company refinances its indebtedness on terms that are less favorable than those currently contained in the credit facility, the Company’s liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted.

The Company’s Tupperware® trademark is collateral under the new credit facility. The Company’s iconic Tupperware® brand has worldwide recognition, and the Company’s continuing success, including the value of its collateral under the new credit facility, depends on its ability to maintain and enhance its brand protection, image, and reputation. Maintaining, promoting, and growing the Tupperware brand will depend on design and marketing efforts, sales force and consumer promotions and campaigns, product innovation, and product quality. The Company’s commitment to product innovation and quality and its continuing investment in design and brand awareness may not have the desired impact on its brand image and reputation. In addition, the Company’s success in maintaining, extending, and expanding its brand image depends on its ability to adapt to a rapidly changing social media environment and digital dissemination of branding campaigns. The Company could be adversely impacted if it fails to achieve any of these objectives.

We are subject to financial risks as a result of our international operations, including exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, the impact of foreign currency restrictions, and the impact of international sanctions.

The Company is subject to risks of doing business internationally. The Company has derived, for a number of years, most of its net sales from operations outside the United States. As a result, we face exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates as the financial results of our international operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars.

59

Movement in exchange rates has had and may continue to have a significant impact on the Company’s earnings, cash flows, and financial position. The Company’s most significant exposures are to the Brazilian Real, Chinese Renminbi, Argentine Peso, Euro, Indonesian Rupiah, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso, and South African Rand. Although the Company’s currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from its local product sourcing in many markets, a strengthening United States Dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. In response to this fact, the Company continues to implement foreign currency hedging and risk management strategies to reduce the exposure to fluctuations in earnings associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company generally does not seek to hedge the impact of currency fluctuations on the translated value of the sales, profit, or cash flow generated by its operations. Some of the hedging strategies implemented have a positive or negative impact on cash flows as foreign currencies fluctuate versus the United States Dollar. In past periods the movement of foreign currency exchange rates has had a material effect on our results of operations. There can be no assurance that our hedging strategies will be successful and foreign currency fluctuations and related hedging activities may not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and/or financial condition.

Furthermore, foreign governments may impose restrictions on currency remittances. Due to the possibility of government restrictions (or existing restrictions) on transfers of cash out of countries and control of exchange rates and currency convertibility, the Company may not be able to immediately access its cash at the exchange rate used to translate its financial statements.

In addition, the United States government may impose material sanctions and restrictions on doing business with certain countries, businesses, and individuals, including, as an example, the sanctions against countries such as Russia or within specific regions of Ukraine. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial performance, including through increased costs of compliance, reduced net sales as a result of restrictions on the Company's ability to sell into specific regions of the world, higher volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, and increased input costs (such as energy).

The conflict in Ukraine could impact business and financial performance in Europe and our results of operations on a consolidated basis. We are closely monitoring the political and economic situation and have taken several measures, including cash repatriation and ruble hedging, to proactively manage the risk. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia could impact the fulfillment of existing orders, any future revenue streams from impacted customers, and the recoverability of certain financial assets. As there is uncertainty surrounding the status of physical assets in the Ukraine area, the Company has fully reserved for its accounts receivables and inventories, and fully impaired the operating lease of its office building, in Ukraine. The reserve and impairment was approximately $0.4 million. We will continue to assess our mitigation activities in light of the evolving situation and the related risks, but there can be no assurances that the conflict will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and/or financial condition.

A decrease in operating cash flows, any inability to access financing sources or other constraints on liquidity could adversely affect our business.

Our business, including our ability to fund operating activities, capital projects and interest and debt repayments as well as to execute on the Turnaround Plan, depends upon our generation of strong operating cash flow and available financing sources. As of September 24, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $102.9 million and $135.3 million of availability under our revolving credit facilities and available lines of credit. However, in the first, second, and third quarters of fiscal 2022 we generated negative operating cash flow and, based on our current business plan, including the Turnaround Plan, we expect to continue to spend substantial amounts in future periods, which may result in further periods of negative operating cash flow. Our business and operations may also consume resources faster than we anticipate. Therefore, in order for us to meet our capital requirements and successfully execute our business plan, we may require additional capital through various sources of financing that may include the issuance of new equity securities, debt or a combination of both. If we issue additional equity securities, existing stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. If we issue new debt securities, the debt holders would have rights senior to common stockholders to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay any dividends on our common stock. Further, additional financing, whether debt or equity, may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any future offerings or the impact thereof on the price of our common stock. Further, during periods of economic, political and social turmoil such as the present, the financial industry and the credit and capital markets may be materially and adversely affected, increasing the cost of and reducing access to capital. We could also be required to seek funds through asset sales or collaborations, licensing agreements or other strategic alliances that we would not choose to execute solely for operational or strategic reasons. Our ability to obtain additional capital through these or other means will depend on our results of operations and a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, including the risks described in Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 26, 2022 and June 25, 2022. The inability to generate sufficient cash flows to support our business, failure to maintain covenant compliance, or the lack of available financing in adequate amounts and on appropriate terms when needed could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected.

60

The outcome of pending and future claims and litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and damage our reputation.

We are a party to claims and litigation in the normal course of business. Furthermore, the Company may face material litigation outside the ordinary course of business that could materially adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. In February 2020, putative stockholder class actions were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The actions were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and a lead plaintiff was appointed. On July 31, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint, which alleges that statements in public filings between January 31, 2018 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The lead plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s stock during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. The Company's motion to dismiss the complaint was granted on January 25, 2021, but the court permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on April 2, 2021. The Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on August 9, 2021, but again permitted the lead plaintiff to file an amended complaint, which the plaintiff filed on August 30, 2021. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 14, 2021, and on February 4, 2022, the Court dismissed the third amended complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff filed an appeal on April 11, 2022, which was fully briefed as of June 1, 2022. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled oral argument for the appeal in December 2022. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Additionally, several putative stockholders filed stockholder derivative complaints in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The cases were consolidated, and plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on August 5, 2020. The consolidated amended complaint asserts claims against certain current and former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and contribution for violations of the securities laws based on allegations that the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Court stayed proceedings in this action pending resolution of the appeal of the dismissal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. A similar stockholder derivative complaint was filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. The parties reached an agreement to stay this action pending the resolution of the appeal of the dismissal of the third motion to dismiss in the putative stockholder class action. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

In June 2022, a putative stockholder class action was filed against the Company and certain current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that statements made in public filings between November 3, 2021 and May 3, 2022 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s earnings and sales performance and full year 2022 guidance violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the potential class period and demands unspecified monetary damages. The plaintiff intends to file an amended complaint in late November 2022.The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of this action would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

In August 2022, a stockholder derivative complaint was filed in Florida state court against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors. The derivative complaint asserts claims against the former officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets based on allegations that, among other things, the officers and directors allowed the Company to make false or misleading statements in violation of the securities laws. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of these actions would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Legal proceedings in general, and securities and class action litigation and regulatory investigations in particular, can be expensive and disruptive. Our insurance may not cover all claims that may be asserted against us, and we are unable to predict how long the legal proceedings to which we are currently subject will continue. An unfavorable outcome of any legal proceeding may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, or our stock price. Any proceeding could negatively impact our reputation among our customers or our shareholders. Furthermore, publicity surrounding ongoing legal proceedings, even if resolved favorably for us, could result in additional legal proceedings against us, as well as damage our brand image.
