NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tupperware Brands Corporation and its subsidiaries, collectively “Tupperware” or the “Company”, with all intercompany transactions and balances having been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared following the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the Company's opinion, reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the balance sheet, statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of shareholder’s equity and cash flows prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. As such, these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited 20182019 consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.28, 2019. Operating results of any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Hedging:Liquidity and Impact of COVID-19: On December 30, 2018,The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread to many countries and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease, such as shelter-in-place orders, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses, and these measures may remain in place for a significant period of time. During the first quarter of 2020, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business was most pronounced in Europe and Asia Pacific where the Company adopted new guidanceexperienced partial or country-wide lockdowns of operations in various markets, including China, France, Italy, and the Philippines. The first quarter impact of COVID-19 largely affected March revenues, financial results and liquidity, specifically in the second half of the month.  While the duration and severity of this pandemic is uncertain, the Company currently expects that its results of operations in the second quarter of 2020 will have the most significant impact of the effects of COVID-19, and that subsequent periods will also be negatively impacted. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.  
A top priority for the Company as it navigates through the global COVID-19 pandemic is the safety of its employees and their families, sales force and consumers, and to mitigate the impact on hedge accounting, which required a cumulative-effect adjustmentits operations and financial results. The Company will continue to proactively respond to the opening balancesituation and may take further actions that alter the Company’s business operations as may be required by governmental authorities, or that the Company determines are in the best interests of retained earningsits employees, sales force and accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.0 million, net of taxes. As partconsumers. In order to ensure safety and protect the health of the adoption,employees, and to comply with applicable government directives, the Company electedhas modified its business practices to include forward points in the assessment of hedge effectiveness for net equityallow its employees to work remotely from home wherever possible, incorporate virtual meetings and cash flow hedges and exclude forward points in the assessment for fair value hedges. In addition, the Company now records the entire change in fair value of hedging instruments in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Prior to adoption, the impact from forward points was recorded as interest expense. Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on impact from new hedge accounting guidance.restrict all employee travel.
Leases: On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted new guidance on lease accounting using the modified retrospective method, which required a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $7.1 million, net of taxes. Prior periods have not been restated. The standard did not materially impact consolidated net income or liquidity, and did not have an impact on debt-covenant compliance under the Company's debt agreements. The new guidance was applied to all operating and capital leases at the date of initial application. Leases historically referred to as capital leases are now referred to as finance leases under the new guidance.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, and as a basis for its lease policies, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company also elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee, and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. In addition, the Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the reasonably certain lease term for existing leases. The Company recognizes payments on these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Credit Agreement replaces the credit agreement dated September 11, 2013 and as amended (the “Old Credit Agreement”) and, other than an increased aggregate amount that may be borrowed, an improvement in the consolidated leverage ratio covenant and a slightly more favorable commitment fee rate, has terms and conditions similar to that of the Old Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement makes available to the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers a committed five-year credit facility in an aggregate amount of $650$650.0 million (the “Facility Amount”). The Credit Agreement provides (i) a revolving credit facility, available up to the full amount of the Facility Amount, (ii) a letter of credit facility, available up to $50$50.0 million of the Facility Amount, and (iii) a swingline facility, available up to $100$100.0 million of the Facility Amount. Each of such facilities is fully available to the Company and the Facility Amount is available to the Subsidiary Borrowers up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $325$325.0 million. With the agreement of its lenders, the Company is permitted to increase, on up to three3 occasions, the Facility Amount by a total of up to $200$200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850$850.0 million), subject to certain conditions. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Company had total borrowings of $368.9$388.1 million outstanding under theits Credit Agreement, with $194.9$245.1 million of that amount denominated in euros.Euro.
Loans made under the Credit Agreement will be composed of (i) “Eurocurrency Borrowings”, bearing interest determined in reference to the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") or the EURIBOR rate for the applicable currency and interest period, plus a margin, and/or (ii) “ABR Borrowings”, bearing interest at the sum of (A) the greatest of (x) the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate,Prime Rate, (y) the NYFRB rate plus 0.5 percent, and (z) adjusted LIBOR on such day (or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day) for a deposit in U.S. dollars with a maturity of one month plus 1 percent, and (B) a margin. The applicable margin in each case will be determined by reference to a pricing schedule and will be based upon the better for the Company of (a) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (computed as consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to the consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarters then most recently ended) for the fiscal quarter referred to in the quarterly or annual financial statements most recently delivered, or (b) the Company’s then existing long-term debt securities rating by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Financial Services, Inc. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for ABR Borrowings ranges from 0.375 percent to 0.875 percent, the applicable margin for Eurocurrency Borrowings ranges from 1.375 percent to 1.875 percent, and the applicable margin for the commitment fee ranges from 0.150 percent to 0.275 percent. Loans made under the swingline facility will bear interest, if denominated in U.S. Dollars, at the same rate as an ABR Borrowing and, if denominated in another currency, at the same rate as a Eurocurrency Borrowing. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Credit Agreement dictatedCompany had a weighted average interest rate of 2.0 percent with a base rate spread of 150 basis points which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate of 2.6 percent on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement that has a final maturity date of March 29, 2024.
Similar to the Old Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, generally restrictlimit the ability of the Company's abilitysubsidiaries to incur subsidiary indebtedness and limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to create liens on and sell assets, engage in certain liquidations or dissolutions, engage in certain mergers or consolidations, or change lines of business. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.
TheOn February 28, 2020, the Company amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) in order to modify certain provisions, including the financial covenants provide forcovenant. Previously, the Company had to maintain at specified measurement periods a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio ofthat was not greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.01.00. Following the Amendment, the Company is required to maintain at the last day of each quarterly measurement period a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not greater than or equal to the ratio as set forth below opposite the period that includes such day (or, if such day does not end on the last day of the calendar quarter, that includes the last day of the calendar quarter that is nearest to such day):

Under the Credit Agreement and consistent with the Old Credit Agreement, Dart Industries Inc. (the “Guarantor”) unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers relating to the Credit Agreement, supported by a minimumsecurity interest coverage ratioin certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks. The Amendment eliminated the requirement that a Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must occur before the Company is required to cause the Additional Guarantee and Collateral Requirement, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to be satisfied. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company is required to cause certain of 3.0its domestic subsidiaries to 1.0 (defined as consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated total interest expense)become guarantors and the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries are required to pledge additional collateral (the “Additional Guarantee and Collateral”).
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. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, and currently, the Company had cushion under itswas in compliance with the financial covenants as well asin the necessary bond credit ratingsCredit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended to prevent default.the Company from exceeding the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2020. If the Company had exceeded the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, this could have constituted an Event of Default, potentially resulting in a cross default under cross-default provisions with respect to other of the Company's debt obligations, giving the lenders the ability to terminate the revolving commitments, accelerate outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, exercise certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the Credit Agreement and require the Company to post cash collateral for all outstanding letters of credit. In addition to the relief provided in the Amendment, the Company has reduced certain operating expenses beginning in 2020 and could use available cash, including repatriating cash held outside of the United States, to make debt repayments to lower its Consolidated Leverage Ratio.
The Company routinely increases its revolver 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 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 balances.
At March 28, 2020, the Company had $318.4 million of unused lines of credit, including $260.6 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $57.8 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.
Senior Notes
The Company has outstanding approximately $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2021. The Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, the “Guarantor and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Senior Notes, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in those certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks as well. The Indenture includes, among others, covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness secured by liens on certain real property, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, (iii) with respect to the Company only, consolidate or merge with another entity, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets and (iv) sell the capital stock of the Guarantor or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or properties. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 for further details regarding the Senior Notes.

UnderWhether the Credit AgreementCompany will be able to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on economic, financial, competitive and consistentother factors that may be beyond its control, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and on the Company’s financial performance at the time. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company's ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with the Old Credit Agreement, the Guarantor unconditionally guarantees all obligations and liabilitiescertainty. Any refinancing of the Senior Notes may be at a higher interest rate and may require the Company to comply with additional covenants and obligations, which could further restrict the Subsidiary BorrowersCompany's business operations. If the Company is unable to repay or refinance the Senior Notes, the holders of the Seniors Notes may pursue certain remedies relating to the Credit Agreement, supported bycollateral securing the guaranty of the Senior Notes or pursue other remedies, in each case in accordance with the Indenture and the documents relating to such collateral, all of which could have a security interest in certain "Tupperware" trademarks and service marks. The Credit Agreement includes a trigger whereby the Company would be required to provide additional collateral and subsidiary guarantees if either Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings downgrades its existing ratings two notches or more.
The Company had routinely increased its revolver borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement each quarter, and expects to continue to do so under the Credit Agreement, to fund operating, investing and other financing activities. It also has in the past and expects to in the future, use cash available at the end of each quarter to reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company has higher interest expense and foreign exchange exposurematerial adverse effect on the value of its cash during each quarter than would relate solely to the quarter end cash and debt balances.
At June 29, 2019, the Company had $362.7 million of unused lines of credit, including $279.6 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $83.1 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world.Company.
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's local manufacturing in many markets, a strengthening U.S. dollar generally has a negative impact on the Company. 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 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, as of the beginning of 2019, the Company made the accounting policy election in accordance with ASU 2017-12 to exclude forward points and record their impact in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item for 2019, Other (income) expense. Prior to 2019, the forward points had been included as a component of interest expense.income, net. The forward points on fair value hedges resulted in pretax income of $4.4$5.0 million and $4.7$3.7 million in the secondfirst quarters of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $8.1 million and $10.7 million for the respective year-to-date periods.respectively.
The Company also uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exposures resulting from certain forecasted purchases and classifies these as cash flow hedges. The majority of cash flow hedge contracts that the Company enters into relate to inventory purchases. At initiation, the Company's cash flow hedge contracts are generally for periods ranging from one month to fifteen months. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the open hedging instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings when settled through the same line item as the transaction being hedged. As such, the balance at the end of the current reporting period in other comprehensive income, related to cash flow hedges, will generally be reclassified within the next twelve months. The associated asset or liability on the open hedges is recorded in other current assets or accrued liabilities, as applicable. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company made an accounting policy change as of December 30, 2018the beginning of 2019 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for cash flow hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded. Based on the interest expense incurred for open cash flow hedges as of December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $1.2 million, net of taxes, to accumulated comprehensive income and retained earnings to reflect this accounting policy change. There was an immaterial impact from forward points recorded in other comprehensive income for activity related to the second quarterfirst quarters of 2020 and year-to-date periods of 2019. The Company recognized $1.1$0.8 million and $2.1$1.0 million of manufacturing variances that will be capitalized and amortized over actual months of inventory turns related to the forward point impact from the settlement of cash flow hedges in the second quarterfirst quarters of 2020 and year-to-date periods of 2019.2019, respectively.

The Company also uses financial instruments, such as forward contracts and certain euroEuro denominated borrowings under its Credit Agreement, to hedge a portion of its net equity investment in international operations and classifies 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 lossgain of $2.1$56.2 million and a net gainloss of $30.9$13.1 million associated with these hedges in the secondfirst quarters of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and net loss of $15.2 million and gain of $14.0 million for the respective year-to-date periods.respectively. Due to the permanent nature of the investments, the Company does not anticipate reclassifying any portion of these amounts to the income statement in the next twelve months. In assessing hedge effectiveness, the Company made an accounting policy change as of December 30, 2018the beginning of 2019 to include forward points in the assessment of effectiveness for net equityinvestment hedges causing the impact from forward points to be recorded as part of other comprehensive income compared to interest expense as it previously had been recorded. Based on the interest expense associated with forward points incurred for open net equity hedges as of December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $3.8 million, net of taxes, to accumulated comprehensive income to reflect this accounting policy change. Beginning in 2019, theThe impact of forward points is being recorded in other comprehensive income and will remain there indefinitely since that is where the gains and losses on hedges of net equity are recorded. Based on the interest expense associated with forward points incurred for open net investment hedges as of December 30, 2018, the Company recorded an adjustment of $3.8 million, net of taxes, to accumulated comprehensive income to reflect this accounting policy change. The impact related to forward points on hedges of net equity investment recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in the second quarterfirst quarters of 2020 and year-to-date periods of 2019 was $4.6a loss of $6.3 million and $8.9 million.a gain of $4.3 million, respectively.
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 hedgesfrom hedging activity for the year-to-date periods ended June 29,first quarters of 2020 and 2019 and June 30, 2018 were outflowswas an outflow of $7.5$1.9 million and $7.8an inflow of $0.8 million, respectively.
The Company considers the total notional value of its forward contracts as the best measure of the volume of derivative transactions. As of June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 and December 29, 2018,28, 2019, the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to purchase currencies were $110.7$90.8 million and $186.8$137.7 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of outstanding forward contracts to sell currencies were $114.6$82.5 million and $184.6$143.5 million, respectively. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the notional values of the largest positions outstanding were to purchase $56.3$69.8 million of U.S. dollars and $42.7$12.2 million of euros, and to sell $37.9$19.6 million of Swiss francs and $30.4$16.3 million of Mexican pesos.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, compared with the 13 and 26 weeks ended JuneMarch 30, 2018,2019, and changes in financial condition during the 2613 weeks ended June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020.
The Company's core sales are derived from the distribution of its products through independent sales organizations and individuals, which in many cases arewho may also be its customers. The vast majority of the Company's products are,customers, who then, in turn, soldsell to end consumers who are not members of its sales force. The Company is largely dependent upon these independent sales organizations and individuals to reach end consumers, and any significant disruption of this distribution network would have a negative financial impact on the Company and its ability to generate sales, earnings and operating cash flows. The Company's primary business drivers are the size, activity, diversity and productivity of its independent sales organizations.
In 2019,2020, the Company continued to sell directly and/or through its sales force as well as to end consumers via the Internet and through a limited number of business-to-business transactions, in which it sells products to a partner company. These business-to-business transactions are not considered part of the Company's core sales and are not material to overall sales.
As the impacts of foreign currency translation are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, the Company believes the presentation of results on a local currency basis, as a supplement to reported results, helps improve readers' ability to understand the Company's operating results and evaluate performance in comparison with prior periods. The Company presents local currency information that compares results between periods as if current period exchange rates had been used to translate results in the prior period. The Company uses results on a local currency basis as one measure to evaluate performance. The Company generally refers to such amounts as calculated on a "local currency" basis, or "excluding the impact of foreign currency." These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Results on a local currency basis may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread to many countries and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease, such as shelter-in-place orders, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses, and these measures may remain in place for a significant period of time. During the first quarter of 2020, the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business was most pronounced in Europe and Asia Pacific where the Company defines established market economies as thoseexperienced partial or country-wide lockdowns of operations in Western Europe (including Scandinavia), Australia, Canada, Japan,various markets, including China, France, Italy, and the United States. All other countriesPhilippines. The first quarter impact of COVID-19 largely affected March revenues, financial results and liquidity, specifically in the second half of the month.  While the duration and severity of this pandemic is uncertain, the Company currently expects that its results of operations in the second quarter of 2020 will have the most significant impact of the effects of COVID-19, and that subsequent periods will also be negatively impacted. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding  the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.  
A top priority for the Company as it navigates through the global COVID-19 pandemic is the safety of its employees and their families, sales force and consumers, and to mitigate the impact on its operations and financial results. The Company will continue to proactively respond to the situation and may take further actions that alter the Company’s business operations as may be required by governmental authorities, or that the Company determines are classified as having emerging market economies.in the best interests of its employees, sales force and consumers.

Net Sales
Reported sales decreased 1122.9 percent in the first quarter of 2020 compared with the secondfirst quarter of 2018.2019. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 717.4 percent. The Company's businesses operating in emerging market economies had a 7 percent decline in local currency sales. The significant sales decreases were in Brazil, China, Fuller Mexico, India, Indonesia and South Africa. The most significant sales increase was in Argentina. Local currency sales in the Company's businesses that operate in established economy markets, as a group, decreased 6 percent, primarily driven by the impact from sales decreases in Germany, Italy and the United States and Canada. The most significant sales increases were in France and Iberia.
In the second quarter, operating income decreased 31 percent and net income decreased 38 percent. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, operating income decreased 27 percent and net income decreased 34 percent. The decrease in operating income reflected the impact of lower sales, higher DS&A costs, mainly in Asia Pacific and South America, the absence of pre-tax gains from real estate transactions, and higher pre-tax re-engineering costs, in connection with the Company's business transformation program announced in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by lower management incentive costs. The decrease in net income reflected the decrease in segment profit and a higher income tax rate on lower pre-tax income versus 2018.
Reported sales for the year-to-date period decreased 11 percent. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 5 percent. The factors impacting the year-to-date sales comparisons were largely the same as those impacting the second quarter. The net income comparisons were similar to those impacting the second quarter comparisons, though there was a greater impact from increased DS&A costs and lower re-engineering costs on the year-to-date comparison.
Net cash flow from operating activities for the periods ending June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was an inflow of $1.3 million and an outflow of $38.8 million, respectively. The favorable comparison was primarily due to lower cash outflows related to inventory and a reduction in accounts receivable, primarily from lower sales for the period and higher collection of business-to-business receivables due to timing. This was partially offset by lower profit from the segments compared with the prior year.

Net Sales
Reported sales decreased 11 percent in the second quarter of 2019 compared with the second quarter of 2018. Excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 7 percent. This included a 1 percentage point ("pp") positive impact from the benefit of business-to-business sales, mainly in Austria and France. The average impact of higher prices was 1about 3 percent.
The Company's emerging market units accounted for 70 percentnet decrease in local currency sales was mainly driven by decreases in:
Brazil, from lower sales force activity and 71 percentrecruiting mainly due to increased competition and lower consumer spending
China, from less outlet openings, a shift in product mix, and lower consumer spending. China had the earliest impact of salesCOVID-19 beginning in January and extending throughout the second quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. In 2019, reported sales in these units decreased $46.4 million, or 12 percent, which included a negative $21.0 million impact from foreign currency exchange rates. Excludingquarter. China was able to partially mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, there was a 7 percent decline in sales.

France and Switzerland, mainly from lower business-to-business sales decreases were in Brazil,compared with 2019 and France, from government mandated lock down due to COVID-19
Indonesia, from a less active sales force driven by the economic environment, China, from a reduction in outlet openings and an unfavorable product mix, and Fuller
Tupperware Mexico, from a less active and less productive sales force. Other units with meaningful decreases were Indiaforce
the United States and Indonesia from smaller, less active sales forces, and South AfricaCanada, from a less productive sales force. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in Argentina, mainly from pricing. The average impact of higher prices in the emerging market units was 2 percent.
Reported sales in the established market units decreased 9 percent. Excluding a negative $4.1 million impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, sales decreased 6 percent. The local currency sales decrease was mainly due tosmaller, less active and less productive sales forces in Italy and the United States and Canada, partially offset by aforce

The Company continues to monitor the second quarter comparison.effects of COVID-19 on its reported sales and has taken several steps to mobilize its resources to ensure adequate liquidity, business continuity and employee safety during this pandemic. The Company continues to provide digital tools and training to its sales force, where available, to enable them to connect with end consumers through social media and sell through the Internet.
A more detailed discussion of the sales results by reporting segment is included in the segment results section in this Part I, Item 2.
As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, the Company includes certain promotional costs in DS&A. As a result, the Company's net sales may not be comparable with other companies that treat these costs as a reduction of revenue.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 67.565.5 percent and 67.666.9 percent in the secondfirst quarters of 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. The factors leading to the 1.4pp decrease of 0.1 pp primarily reflected an unfavorable mix of products sold (0.3 pp)increased negative manufacturing variances, mainly volume, related to Brazil, Mexico and the combined impact from an unfavorable mix of sales from units with lower than average gross margins, higher obsolescence expenseUnited States and higher manufacturing costs (0.3 pp). This wasCanada, partially offset by lower resin costs (0.5 pp).costs.
For the year-to-date periods, gross margin as a percentage of sales was 67.2 percent in 2019, compared with 67.3 percent for the same period of 2018. The factors leading to the 0.1 pp decrease primarily reflected a combined impact from an increase in obsolescence expense and manufacturing variances, and a negative translation effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates in Venezuela (0.3pp). This was partially offset by a decrease in resin costs (0.2 pp).
As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, the Company includes costs related to the distribution of its products in DS&A. As a result, the Company's gross margin may not be comparable with other companies that include these costs in costs of products sold.

Costs andOperating Expenses
DS&A as a percentage of sales was 52.164.6 percent in the secondfirst quarter of 2019,2020, compared with 50.953.9 percent in 2018.2019. The 1.210.7 pp increase in comparison reflected the impactprimarily reflected:
increased administration and other expenses mainly due to fees for professional services firms supporting business turnaround efforts, leadership transition costs, net reduction of long-term management incentive costs last year versus expense in 2020 and lower absorption of fixed costs (7.4 pp)
increased selling expenses mainly from higher bad debt expense, primarily in BrazilFrance, higher commissions in Indonesia reflecting the new compensation program and Germany (0.6outlet support expenses in response to COVID-19 in China (3.6 pp), and
increased distribution costs incurred in Brazil, Fuller Mexico and Japan (0.6 pp), and the absence of an enterprise award received from the local Chinese government in 2018 (0.3 pp). This was partially offset by the impactexpenses mainly from lower expense for management incentives (0.6 pp).
For the year-to-date periods, DS&A as a percentage of sales increased 0.9 pp to 53.0 percent, from 52.1 percent in 2018, primarily reflecting increased distributionfixed costs mainly inabsorption predominantly impacting Brazil, Europe and the United States and Canada (0.9(1.6 pp).
Partially offset by decreased promotional expenses mainly in Indonesia reflecting the new compensation program, France, Germany and Mexico (1.9 pp)
The Company segregates corporate operating expenses into allocated and unallocated components based upon the estimated time spent managing segment operations. The allocated costs are then apportioned on a local currency basis to each segment based primarily upon segment revenues. The unallocated expenses reflect amounts unrelated to segment operations. Operating expenses to be allocated are determined at the beginning of the year based upon estimated expenditures. Total unallocated expenses in the first quarter of 2020 increased $16.6 million compared with 2019, reflecting:
non-recurring fees for professional services firms supporting business turnaround efforts and leadership transition costs ( about $13.0 million)
management incentives from a net reduction of long-term incentives last year versus expense this year
Specific segment impacts are discussed in the segment results section in this Part I, Item 2.
Re-engineering Costs
Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, for a discussion of re-engineering activities and accruals.
The multi-year decline in revenue led the Company to evaluate its operating structure leading to actions designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiency and otherwise turnaround its business. These actions often result in re-engineering costs related to headcount reductions and to facility downsizing and closure, other costs that may be necessary in light of the revised operating landscape including structural changes impacting how its sales force operates, as well as related asset write downs. The Company may recognize gains or losses upon disposal of excess facilities or other activities directly related to its re-engineering efforts.
The Company recorded $4.1$3.9 million and $2.1$4.3 million in re-engineering charges during the secondfirst quarters of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $8.4 million and $9.7 million for the respective year-to-date periods.respectively. These re-engineering costs were mainly related to the transformation program, which was announced in January 2019 and re-assessed in December 2019 (collectively the "Turnaround Plan") and the July 2017 revitalization program ("2017 program").
The turnaround plan was launched with the focus to drive innovation, sales force engagement and transformation program announcedconsumer experiences through a contemporized and streamlined service model. Since the inception of the turnaround plan, a reassessment of costs and priorities has occurred with a shift from a segment to a global focus with increased emphasis on procurement, sourcing and organizational realignment. This plan is expected to run through 2021 and incur approximately $50.0 million in January 2019.
pretax cost, with 100 percent paid in cash. The Company incurred an immaterial amount of charges$3.3 million and $1.2 million in the second quarterfirst quarters of 2019, $2.1 million of charges in the second quarter of 2018,2020 and $2.3 million and $9.7 million of charges under the 2017 program for the 2019, and 2018 year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily related to severance costs, outside consulting services, project team expenses, and distributor support. Once fully executed, the plan is expected to enable annual local currency sales growth and to generate about $100.0 million in annualized savings.

In relation to the 2017 program, the Company incurred for headcount reductions$0.6 million and $3.1 million of charges in severalthe first quarters of the Company’s operations in connection with changes in its management2020 and organizational structures.2019, respectively. Under this program, the Company has incurred $82.0$84.7 million of pretax costs starting in the second quarter of 2017 through the secondfirst quarter of 2019. The Company2020 and expects to incur an additional $5.7$2.0 million of pretax re-engineering costs starting in the third quarterremaining of 2019 through 2020. The annualized benefit of these actions once fully implemented, is estimated to be $35 million with $32 million already realized in 2017 and 2018.has been approximately $36.0 million. After reinvestment of a portion of the benefits, improved profitability is reflected most significantly through lower cost of products sold, but also through lower DS&A; however, overall profitability has not risen in light of lower sales and higher costs.
The 2019 program was launched with the focus to drive innovation, sales force engagement and consumer experiences through a contemporized and streamlined service model. This program runs through 2022 and is expected to incur approximately $100 million in pretax cost, with 90 percent paid in cash. The Company incurred $4.2 million and $5.4 million in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2019, respectively, in Europe and Asia Pacific, primarily related to outside consulting services, project team expenses, and distributor support. Savings from the 2019 program will occur as the program is implemented over the three-year period, and once fully implemented, is expected to enable annual local currency sales growth and to generate about $50 million in annualized savings.
Net Interest Expense
Net interest expense was $10.4$9.7 million in the secondfirst quarter of 2019, a decrease2020, an increase of $0.8$0.1 million compared to the secondfirst quarter of 2018. In the year-to-date periods, net interest expense was $20.0 million in 2019, compared with $21.6 million in 2018.2019. The decreaseincrease in interest expense related to the $1.5 million and $2.5 million benefit from the accounting policy change for forward points from the Company's hedging activities for the second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, partially offset by the impact of higher average borrowings and higher interest rates in the second quarter and year-to-date comparisons.on borrowings.
Tax RateIncome Taxes
The effective tax rates for the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2019 were 36.2 percent and 32.9 percent, respectively, compared with 28.1 percent and 32.3 percent for the comparable 2018 periods. The tax rate for the first quarter of 20192020 was 5.4 percent compared with 28.9 percent.percent for 2019. The increasedecrease in the rate from the first quarterwas primarily attributable to the secondoverall decline in profitability for the quarter of 2019, was the result of a change in the country mix of income dueended March 28, 2020 as compared to the allocation of re-engineeringsame period last year and lower cash tax costs in connection with the Company's business transformation program.

driven by lower profits.
As discussed in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, 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.
Net Income
Net income decreased $24.4$44.7 million in the secondfirst quarter of 20192020 compared with 2018,2019, which included a $4.0$4.7 million negative impact on the comparison from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

decreased segment profit, estimated at 25% of the total decline versus the first quarter of 2019, from the impact from the gains on the disposal of assets realized in 2018, and a higher income tax rate on lower pre-tax income versus 2018. This wasCOVID-19.
These decreases were partially offset by lower management incentive costs and lower promotional spending, primarily in Europe.
For the year-to-date period, net income decreased $23.2 million, compared with 2018, including a negative $9.5 million translation impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The factors impacting the comparison were largely the same as for the quarter though there was a greater impact from increased DS&A costs, mainly from distribution, and lower re-engineering costs on the year-to-date comparison.taxes.

International operations generated 92 percent and 9392.2 percent of sales in the secondfirst quarter of 2020, and year-to-date periods of 2019, respectively, and 9292.7 percent of sales in the secondfirst quarter and year-to-date periods of 2018.2019. These units generated 98104.6 percent of net segment profit in the secondfirst quarter of 2020, and year-to-date periods of 2019, and 96 percent and 9797.7 percent of net segment profit in the secondfirst quarter and year-to-date periods of 2018, respectively.2019.

On March 29, 2019,20, 2020 Moody’s downgraded the Company’s credit rating from Ba3 to B3. On April 6, 2020, S&P downgraded the Company’s credit rating from B to CCC+. Although each downgrade exceeded the threshold for additional guarantee and collateral requirements to be triggered under the Credit Agreement, at the time of the downgrade the Company had already amended the Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) on February 28, 2020. Among other things, the Amendment eliminated the requirement that a Non-Investment Grade Ratings Event, as defined in the Credit Agreement, must occur before the Company is required to cause the Additional Guarantee and restatedCollateral Requirement, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to be satisfied. As a result, the Company is required to cause certain of its multicurrencydomestic subsidiaries to become guarantors and the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries are required to pledge additional collateral. The Amendment also modified the financial covenant. Previously, the Company had to maintain at specified measurement periods a Consolidated Leverage Ratio that was not greater than or equal to 3.75 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement. Agreement was amended to prevent the Company from exceeding the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four fiscal quarters ending in March 2020. If the Company had exceeded the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, this could have constituted an Event of Default, potentially resulting in a cross default under cross-default provisions with respect to other of the Company's debt obligations, giving the lenders the ability to terminate the revolving commitments, accelerate outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, exercise certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the Credit Agreement, and require the Company to post cash collateral for all outstanding letters of credit. In addition to the relief provided in the Amendment, the Company has reduced certain operating expenses beginning in 2020 and could use available cash, including repatriating cash held outside of the United States, to make debt repayments to lower its Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Following the Amendment, the Company is required to maintain at the last day of each quarterly measurement period a Consolidated Leverage Ratio not greater than or equal to the ratio as set forth below opposite the period that includes such day (or, if such day does not end on the last day of the calendar quarter, that includes the last day of the calendar quarter that is nearest to such day):

As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Company had total borrowings of $368.9$388.1 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement, with $194.9$245.1 million of that amount denominated in euros.Euro. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Credit Agreement dictatedCompany had a weighted average interest rate of 2.0 percent with a base rate spread of 150 basis points which gave the Company a weighted average interest rate of 2.6 percent on LIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, and currently, the Company had cushion under itswas in compliance with the 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, the ability to access cash generated internationally, share repurchases or the occurrence of other events discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” in this Part I, Item 3 andcovenants in the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC could impact the Company’s ability to comply with these covenants.Credit Agreement.

At June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Company had $362.7$318.4 million of unused lines of credit, including $279.6$260.6 million under the committed, secured Credit Agreement, and $83.1$57.8 million available under various uncommitted lines around the world. If necessary, withWith 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$200.0 million (for a maximum aggregate Facility Amount of $850.0 million) subject to certain conditions.
The Company has outstanding approximately $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2021. The Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, its 100 percent subsidiary, the Guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Senior Notes, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks. As security for its obligations under the guarantee of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor has granted a security interest in those certain “Tupperware” trademarks and service marks as well. The Indenture includes, among others, covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness secured by liens on certain real property, (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, (iii) with respect to the Company only, consolidate or merge with another entity, or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets and (iv) sell the capital stock of the Guarantor or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets or properties. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 filed with the SEC (the “2019 Form 10-K”) for further details regarding the Senior Notes.
Whether the Company will be able to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond its control, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and on the Company’s financial performance at the time. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company's ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty. Any refinancing of the Senior Notes may be at a higher interest rate and may require the Company to comply with additional covenants and obligations, which could further restrict the Company's business operations. If the Company is unable to repay or refinance the Senior Notes, the holders of the Seniors Notes may pursue certain remedies relating to the collateral securing the guaranty of the Senior Notes or pursue other remedies, in each case in accordance with the Indenture and the documents relating to such collateral, all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Given the fast-moving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting uncertainty on financial markets and the economy as a whole, the Company’s capital position and availability of capital to fund the Company’s liquidity requirements, including repayment or refinancing of the Senior Notes, could be adversely impacted. The Company is taking proactive measures to maximize liquidity and increase available cash by reducing costs and spending across the organization.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for further details regarding the Company's debt.
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. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to financial market risk resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, and the possible liquidity and credit risks of its counterparties. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to fund its working capital, capital spending needs and current and anticipated restructuring actions, as well as its current dividend.actions. This liquidity includes to the extent that it is accessible, its cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $163.0$174.5 million as of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, cash flows from operating activities, and access to its Credit Agreement, as well as access to other various uncommitted lines of credit around the world. The Company has not experienced any limitations on its ability to access its committed facility.

Cash and cash equivalents (“cash”) totaled $163.0$174.5 million as of June 29, 2019.March 28, 2020. Of this amount, $162.2$170.1 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. Of the cash held outside of the United States, approximately 6less than 1 percent was not eligibledeemed ineligible for repatriation due torepatriation. Other than deferred tax liability of $8.8 million for the levelwithholding tax liability for future distribution of past statutoryunrepatriated foreign earnings, by the foreign units in which the cash was heldno U.S. federal income taxes or other local restrictions.foreign taxes have been recorded related to permanently reinvested earnings.
The Company’s most significant foreign currency exposures are to the include:
Brazilian real
Chinese renminbi
Indonesian rupiah
Malaysian ringgit
Mexican peso and
South African rand. rand
Business units in which the Company generated at least $100 million of sales in 2018 included 2019 included:
Brazil
China
Fuller Mexico Germany, Indonesia,
Tupperware Mexico and the United States and Canada. Of these units, sales by Brazil, China and
the United States and Canada exceeded $200 million.
A significant downturn in the Company’s business in these units would adversely impact its ability to generate operating cash flows. Operating cash flows would also be adversely impacted by significant difficulties in the addition,additions, retention and activity of the Company’s independent sales force or the success of new products, promotional programs and/or possibly changes in sales force compensation programs.

The Company has taken, and plans to continue to take, certain measures, to enhance its liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including in response to the impact of COVID-19, including reductions in discretionary spending, revisiting investment strategies, the potential sale of land, and reducing payroll costs, including through organizational redesign, employee furloughs and permanent reductions in employee headcount. As of March 28, 2020, the Company is in compliance with its financial covenants under its Credit Agreement. The Company currently forecasts that it will be in compliance with its financial covenants for at least one year from the issuance of these interim financial statements, after taking into consideration the measures noted above. If the impact of COVID-19 is more severe than currently forecasted this may impact the Company’s compliance with its financial covenantswhich could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Additionally, during the beginning of the second quarter of 2020, on March 30, 2020, the Company drew $225.0 million of revolving loans under its Credit Agreement, $175.0 million of which was drawn as a proactive measure given the uncertain environment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide the Company with further financial flexibility. See Part II, Item 1A under “The Outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic” for more information regarding COVID-19 and how it could affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

The favorablenet unfavorable comparison was primarily due to an unfavorable impact from lower cash outflows related to inventory andsegment profit, partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable primarily fromdriven by lower sales for the period and higherincreased collection of business-to-business receivables due to timing. This was partially offset byactivity and lower profit from the segments compared with the prior year.cash tax payments.

New Pronouncements
Refer to Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of new pronouncements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
One of the Company's market risks is its exposure to the impact ofThe 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: the 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, aat the Company's option, one of four different base rate selected dependent upon currency borrowed,rates, plus an applicable spread. The Company generally selects LIBOR as theits base rate. As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Credit Agreement dictatedCompany had a weighted average interest rate of 2.0 percent with a base rate spread of 150 basis points which gaveon its U.S. dollar and euro denominated LIBOR/EURIBOR-based borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that it would phase-out LIBOR by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021, or if alternative rates or benchmarks will be adopted. Changes in the method of calculating LIBOR, or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative rate or benchmark, may adversely affect interest rates. The Company cannot predict the effect of the potential changes to LIBOR or the establishment of alternative rates or benchmarks. The Credit Agreement allows for the use of select alternative rates and benchmarks and based on the assessment of such rates and benchmarks, the Company does not expect a weighted average interest ratematerial impact from the phase-out of 2.6 percent on LIBOR-based borrowings.LIBOR.
As of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Company had total borrowings of $368.9$388.1 million outstanding under theits Credit Agreement, with $194.9$245.1 million denominated in euro.Euro. If short-term interest rates varied by 10 percent, which in the Company's case would mean short duration U.S. dollar and euro LIBOR, with all other variables remaining constant, the Company's annual interest expense would not be significantly impacted.
The Company had routinely increasedincreases its revolver borrowings under the Old Credit Agreement during each quarter and expects to continue to do so under the Credit Agreement, to fund operating, investing and other financing activities. It also has in the pastactivities and expects to in the future, useuses cash available at the end of each quarter to temporarily reduce borrowing levels. As a result, the Company has higherincurs 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.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk
A significant portion of the Company's sales and profit comescome 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. 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'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. dollar and the large number of currencies involved, although the Company's most significant income and cash flow exposures are to the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Mexican peso and South African rand.

Although this currency risk is partially mitigated by the natural hedge arising from the Company's local product sourcing in many countries, a strengthening U.S. 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 cash flow generated by 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's derivatives that hedge a portion of its equity in its foreign subsidiaries and its fair value hedges of balance sheet risks all work together 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 June 29,first quarters of 2020 and 2019, and June 30, 2018, the cash flow impact of these currency hedges were outflowswas an outflow of $7.5$1.9 million and $7.8an inflow of $0.8 million, respectively.

The U.S. dollar equivalent of the Company's most significant net open forward contracts as of June 29, 2019March 28, 2020 were to buy $56.3$69.8 million of U.S. dollars, $42.7$12.2 million of euros and to sell $37.9$19.6 million of Swiss francs and $30.4$16.3 million of Mexican pesos. In agreements to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. 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. The notional amounts change based upon changes in the Company's outstanding currency exposures. Based on rates existing as of June 29, 2019,March 28, 2020, the Company was in a net payablereceivable position of approximately $2.3$9.0 million related to its currency hedges under forward contracts. Currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on the Company's cash flow upon the settlement of its forward contracts.
A precise calculation of the impact of currency fluctuations is not practical since some of the contracts are between non-U.S. 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's hedging activities for foreign currency in Note 11 to the Consolidated 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-performance have been considered in the determination of fair value for the Company'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® products, and the Company estimates that 20192020 cost of sales will include approximately $110$80.0 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 resin purchases are “polyolefins” (simple chemical structure, easily refined from oil and natural gas). The remaining one-fourth of the value of its resin purchases is more highly engineered. With a comparable product mix and exchange rates, a 10 percent fluctuation in the cost of resin would impact the Company's annual cost of sales by approximately $11$8.0 million compared with the prior year. The amount the Company pays for its resins is 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.

Real Estate Risk
The Company has a program to sell land held for development around its Orlando, Florida headquarters. 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 of attracting tenants for commercial or residential developments in the Orlando real estate market, obtaining financing and general economic conditions, such as interest rate increases. Based on the variety of factors that impact the Company's ability to close sales transactions, it cannot predict when the program will be completed.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company will be detected.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's secondfirst quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2.1.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of ProceedsLegal Proceedings.
None.A number of ordinary-course legal and administrative proceedings against the Registrant 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 Registrant 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 Registrant.
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 Registrant, 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 Registrant to Premark shareholders in 1996.
In February, March and April 2020, three putative stockholder class actions and one shareholder derivative action were filed against the Company and certain current and former officers and directors. One putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the other three actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The putative stockholder class action complaints allege that statements in public filings between January 30, 2019 and February 24, 2020 (the “potential class period”) regarding the Company’s disclosure of controls and procedures and financial guidance, as well as the need for an amendment of its credit facility, violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of stockholders who purchased the Company’s shares during the potential class period and demand unspecified monetary damages. The shareholder derivative action complaint alleges that certain officers and directors breached fiduciary duties to the Company, were unjustly enriched, and violated Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Act of 1934, on generally the same fact pattern. The Company believes the complaints and allegations to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the actions. 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.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.
Reference is made to “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the 2019 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 the 2019 Form 10-K. Before making an investment in the Company’s securities, investors should carefully consider the risk factors 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.

The Outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) which has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread to many countries and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Many governments have implemented policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease, such as shelter-in-place orders, resulting in the temporary closure of schools and non-essential businesses, and these measures may remain in place for a significant period of time. The Company has experienced and may continue to experience disruptions that prevent it from meeting the demands of its sales force and customers, including disruptions to the manufacturing of its products and its supply chain, disruptions to its distribution network, disruptions in or restrictions on the ability of its employees, contractors, sales force and other business partners to work effectively and disruptions to the shipment of its products. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19 may negatively impact the Company's ability to repay or refinance the $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes (the “Senior Notes”) due on June 1, 2021, which were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) between the Company and its 100 percent subsidiary, Dart Industries Inc. (the “Guarantor”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s ability to repay or refinance the Senior Notes will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty. The impact of COVID-19 and measures implemented to slow the spread could also cause delay in, or limit the ability of, the Company’s sales force to make timely payments to the Company. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in a widespread health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets of many countries. During the COVID-19 pandemic and even after it has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to the Company’s business as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact, including any recession, economic downturn, government spending cuts, tightening of credit markets or increased unemployment that has occurred or may occur in the future, which could cause its ultimate customers and potential customers to postpone or reduce spending on its products or put downward pressure on prices. The Company's top priority is to protect its employees and their families, the sales force and consumers, and its operations from any adverse impacts. The Company is taking precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and the local government.
Individually and collectively, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity may differ from management’s current estimates due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and further spread of the outbreak, its severity, actions taken to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, such as those relating to the Company’s level of indebtedness, its ability to comply with the financial covenants contained in the agreements that govern the Company’s indebtedness and volatility of the Company’s common stock price.

Technology and Cyber-Security
The Company relies extensively on information technology systems to conduct its business, some of which are managed by third-party service providers. These systems include, but are not limited to, programs and processes relating to internal communications and communications with other parties, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, receiving orders and shipping product to customers, billing customers and receiving and applying payments, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements, collecting and storing certain customer, employee, investor, and other stakeholder information and personal data, and other processes necessary to manage the Company’s business. Current and increased information technology security threats, and current and more sophisticated computer crime, including advanced persistent threats, pose a potential risk to the security of the information technology systems, networks, and services of the Company, its customers and other business partners, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data of the Company, its customers and other business partners. As a result, the Company’s information technology systems, networks or service providers could be damaged or cease to function properly or the Company could suffer a loss or disclosure of business, personal or stakeholder information, due to any number of causes, including catastrophic events, power outages and security breaches. Although the Company has business continuity plans in place, if these plans do not provide effective alternative processes on a timely basis, the Company may suffer interruptions in its ability to manage or conduct its operations, which may adversely affect its business. The Company may need to expend additional resources in the future to continue to protect against, or to address problems caused by, any business interruptions or data security breaches. Any business interruptions or data security breaches, including cyber-security breaches resulting in private data disclosure, could result in lawsuits or regulatory proceedings, damage the Company’s reputation or adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. While the Company maintains insurance coverage that could cover some of these types of issues, the coverage has limitations and includes deductibles such that it may not be adequate to offset losses incurred.
The Company could also be adversely affected by system or network disruptions if new or upgraded information technology systems or software are defective, not installed properly or not properly integrated into its operations. Various measures have been implemented to manage the risks related to the implementation and modification of hardware and software, but any significant disruption or deficiency in the design and implementation of new or upgraded information technology systems or software could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations and could, if not successfully implemented, adversely impact the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is continuing to upgrade its systems on a worldwide basis.
