Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.
In June 2016,December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 intended2019-12, which eliminates certain exceptions related to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recordingthe approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when interim loss exceeds anticipated loss for the year, and the recognition of credit losses on loansdeferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and other financial instruments held by financial institutionsforeign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and other organizations. The new guidance applies to all financial instruments, including trade receivables,enacted changes in tax laws or rates and requiresclarifies the measurementaccounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at a reporting date to be based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Previous guidance did not include forward-looking information.goodwill. The Company adopted thethis standard effective as of October 1, 2020. 2021. There was no cumulative effect adjustment recorded to retained earnings as the amount was not material, and the effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows were not material.
Statement of Cash Flows Presentation
The adoptionnet presentation of borrowings and repayments under the guidance didCompany's U.S revolving credit facility in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2021 has been corrected in order to reflect borrowings and repayments on a gross basis, resulting in $93.0 of repayments presented gross that were previously netted against borrowings. Net cash from financing activities reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was not have aimpacted and the Company has concluded that this correction is not material impact on the Company’sto its financial statements. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of customers when negotiating contracts and, as trade receivables are short term in nature, the timing between recognition of a credit loss under existing guidance and the new guidance was not materially different for the Company.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this standard require an entity that is the customer in a hosting arrangement to follow the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which costs to expense. The standard also requires a customer to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement over the term of the hosting arrangement. The new guidance requires an entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented. The Company adopted the standard effective as of October 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The Company notes the guidance has not had a material impact on its financial statements through the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

On September 2, 2020,November 29, 2021 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition (“Acquisition”)Acquisition for cash consideration of Cremo Holding Company, LLC (“Cremo”).$309.4, net of cash acquired. As a result of the Acquisition, Billie became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company accounted for the Acquisition utilizing the acquisition method of accounting, which requires assets and liabilities to be recognized based on estimates of their acquisition date fair values. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill, and other intangible assets and deferred taxes, requires significant judgement. The purchase price allocation remains preliminary, as certain information is not yet available. This includes, but is not limited to, the finalization of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including the completion of intangible asset valuations. Additionally, tax returns and analyses required to calculate the underlying tax basis of Billie’s assets, liabilities and net operating losses have not been finalized. We have calculated fair valuesexpect to complete the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the Acquisition Date, during which time the value of the assets and liabilities acquired from Cremo including goodwill and intangible assets and working capital. The Company completed the final fair value determination of the Acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021.may be revised as appropriate.
The Company used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition. Specifically, we utilized the multi-period excess earnings method to determine the fair value of the definite lived customer relationships acquired and the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the definite lived trade name and proprietary technology acquired. Our determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates. Edgewell believes that the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that marketplace participants would use.

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually for impairment of value or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is July 1. The Company continuously monitors events which could trigger anAn interim impairment analysis such as changing business conditionsmay indicate that carrying amounts of goodwill and environmental factors, including the impact of the ongoing novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic.other intangible assets require adjustment or that remaining useful lives should be revised. The Company determined there was no triggering event requiring an interim impairment analysis during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The qualitative analysis performed by the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the goodwill and intangible assets had fair values greater than the carrying values. However, the unknown duration and continuing severity of COVID-19 may result in future impairment charges as changes in consumer habits could have an additional impact on the results of the Company’s operations. This could result in changes to the assumptions utilized in the annual impairment analysis to determine the estimated fair value of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including long-term growth rates and discount rates.2022.

Note 8 - Leases
A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment over a contracted period in exchange for payment. The Company evaluates if an arrangement is a lease at the effective date of the agreement. For operating leases entered into prior to October 1, 2019, the right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized on the balance sheet based on the present value of the remaining future minimum payments over the lease term from the implementation date. Certain leases include an option to either renew or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, these options are included within the lease term when it has become reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Leases entered into subsequent to October 1, 2019 calculate the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of minimum payments over the lease term at the effective date of the lease.
The Company leases certain offices and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, employee vehicles and certain manufacturing related equipment.equipment and determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 monthsmay include options to extend or lessterminate the lease, and those options are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheet when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise one of those options. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases, and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has elected to utilize the package Leases with an initial term of practical expedients which allows it to carryforward its historical lease classification, its assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and its assessment of initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to October 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company has elected as an accounting policy not to separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, account for these components as a single lease component. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that, as of October 1, 2019, are for 12 months or less. For leases that doless are not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate, basedrecorded on the information available for leases, including the lease term and interest rate environment in the country in which the lease exists, to calculate the present value of the future lease payments.Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 9 - Accounts Receivable Facility
The Company participates in a $150an uncommitted master accounts receivable purchase agreement withdated September 15, 2017 by and between the Company and MUFG Bank, Ltd, formerly known as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the purchaser (the “Accounts Receivable Facility”). Transfers under the Accounts Receivable Facility are accounted for as sales of receivables, resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under the Accounts Receivable Facility is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company continues to have collection and servicing responsibilities for the receivables sold and receives separate compensation for their servicing. The compensation received is considered acceptable servicing compensation and, as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability.
On February 7, 2022, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement between Edgewell Personal Care, LLC and MUFG Bank, LTD., formerly known as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, which increased the maximum receivables sold amount under the Accounts Receivable Facility to $180.0 from $150.0 and amended the pricing index used to determine the purchase price for subject receivables from LIBOR to the Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”). The applicable margin that is added to the BSBY pricing index specific for each obligor was unchanged. Except as noted above, all other terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Accounts Receivable Facility are unmodified in all respects and continue in full force and effect.
As of June 30, 2021,2022, the discount rate used to determine the purchase price for the subject receivables isshall be based upon LIBORBSBY plus a margin applicable to the specified obligor.
Accounts receivables sold were $354.0 and $791.2 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $293.9 and $634.2 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $245.3 and $646.5 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding as of June 30, 20212022 and September 30, 20202021 were $136.1$156.0 and $77.0,$91.1, respectively. The net proceeds received were included in both Cash provided by operating activities and Cash provided by investing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other (income) expense, (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The loss on sale of trade receivables was $0.6 and $1.1 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and the loss on sale of trade receivables was $0.2 and $0.6 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and the loss on sale of trade receivables was $0.2 and $1.1 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Note 14 - Financial Instruments and Risk Management
In the course of ordinary business, the Company entersmay enter into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existedin place at June 30, 20212022 and September 30, 2020,2021, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have a negative impact on reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar.
17


Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each month. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other income,(income) expense, net. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.
Cash Flow Hedges
At June 30, 2021,2022, the Company maintained a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective by the Company for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk.
The Company entered into a series ofhas forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had an unrealized pre-tax gaingains of $2.2$9.8 and an unrealized pre-tax loss of $3.0$3.3 at June 30, 20212022 and September 30, 2020,2021, respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges and included in AOCI. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 20212022 levels over the next 12 months, the majority of the pre-tax gain included in AOCI at June 30, 20212022 is expected to be included in Other income,(income) expense, net. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2022.2023. At June 30, 2021,2022, there were 64 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $133.1.

$122.9.
Derivatives not Designated as Hedges
The Company has entered into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures and, thus, are not subject to significant market risk. The change in the estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the three and nine months ended June 30, 20212022 resulted in gains of $0.3 and $2.0, respectively, compared to a loss of $1.2 and gain of $0.7, respectively, compared to a gain of $0.3 and a loss of $0.2, respectively,$0.7 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, respectively, and was recorded in Other income,(income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. At June 30, 2021,2022, there were 57 open foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $42.0.$67.6.

Fair Value Hierarchy
Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
19


The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:

Net liabilities at estimated fair valueNet liabilities at estimated fair value$(25.5)$(37.5)Net liabilities at estimated fair value$(9.8)$(24.7)
The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the investment options that are offered under the plan. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first the quoted market prices of comparable agreements or, in the absence of quoted market prices, factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and remaining maturities.
At June 30, 20212022 and September 30, 20202021, the Company had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 20212022 and at September 30, 2020.2021, respectively.
At June 30, 20212022 and September 30, 20202021, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,314.6$1,024.1 and $1,323.1,$1,300.1, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,250.0.$1,250.0 in each period. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, excluding the U.S. revolving credit facility havedue 2025 (“Revolving Credit Facility”), has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.
Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. Additionally, the carrying amounts of the Company’s revolving credit facility,Revolving Credit Facility, which are classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet, approximate fair value due to the revolving nature of the balances. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, and the revolving credit agreementRevolving Credit Facility have been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Note 15 - Segment Data
For an overview of the Company’s segments, refer to Note 1 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, restructuring charges and certain costs deemed non-recurring in nature, including evaluation, acquisition and integration costs, cost of early retirement of long-term debt, incremental pandemic expenses, gains or losses on the sale of businesses,stock keeping unit (“SKU”) rationalization charges, legal settlements, value-added tax (“VAT”) settlement costs, Sun Care reformulation costs, and the amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.
The Company completed the sale of its Infant and Pet Care business in December 2019. As a result, no additional Net Sales or Segment Profit will be reported for the All Other segment in subsequent periods.
The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between the segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(Amounts in millions, except per share data, unaudited)
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 202019, 2021 (the “2020“2021 Annual Report”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed within “Forward-Looking Statements” below and in Item 1A. Risk Factors and “Forward-Looking Statements” included within our 20202021 Annual Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Edgewell Personal Care Company (“Edgewell”,Edgewell,” “we” or “our Company”) or any of our businesses. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “expectation,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “belief,” “estimate,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “outlook,” or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not based on historical facts, but instead reflect our expectations, estimates, or projections concerning future results or events, including, without limitation, the future earnings and performance of our Company or any of our businesses.businesses, and the integration of the Billie, Inc. (“Billie”) acquisition and expected benefits from this transaction, including growth opportunities and cost savings. Many factors outside our control (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) could affect the realization of these estimates. These statements are not guarantees of performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. We cannot assure you that any of our expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved. The forward-looking statements included in this report are only made as of the date of this report and we disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on these statements.
In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial could significantly affect the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. Risks and uncertainties include those detailed from time to time in our publicly filed documents, including in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 20202021 Annual Report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
While we report financial results in accordance with GAAP, this discussion also includes non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are referred to as “adjusted” or “organic” and exclude items such as restructuring costs, acquisition and integration costs, cost of early retirement of long-term debt, the UK tax rate increase, incremental pandemic charges, business evaluation costs, and the gain on the sale of the Infant and Pet Care business.other non-standard items. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures are included within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use this non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. Given certain significant events, including the Project Fuel restructuring and recent acquisitions and divestitures,acquisition of Billie, we view the use of non-GAAP measures that take into account the impact of these unique events as particularly valuable in understanding our underlying operational results and providing insights into future performance. The information can also be used to perform trend analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This non-GAAP information is also a component in determining management’s incentive compensation. Finally, we believe this information provides more transparency.
The following provides additional detail on our non-GAAP measures:
We analyze our net sales and segment profit on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales and organic segment profit exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency acquisitions, and divestitures. This information is provided because these typesthe impact of fluctuations can distort the underlyingBillie acquisition.
Organic net sales will be unfavorably impacted in fiscal 2022 by the Billie acquisition as sales that were previously reported as third party sales to Billie are now included as inter-company sales.
Segment profit will be unfavorably impacted in fiscal 2022 as a result of a change in netthe timing of profit recognition due to the Billie acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition of Billie, profit previously earned on sales and segment profit either positively or negatively.to Billie will be deferred until Billie sells to a third party.
2322


WeAdditionally, we utilize “adjusted”“adjusted��� non-GAAP measures including gross profit, SG&A, operating income, income taxes, net earnings, and diluted earnings per share internally to make operating decisions. The following items are excluded when analyzing non-GAAP measures: restructuring and related costs, acquisition and integration costs, cost of early retirement of long-term debt, the UK tax rate increase, incremental pandemicstock keeping unit (“SKU”) rationalization charges, the gain on sale of the Infantlegal settlements and Pet Care business, and advisory expenses in connection with the evaluation of the Feminine and Infant Care businesses.other non-standard items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on our liquidity or capital resources. However, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future.
At June 30, 2021,2022, a portion of our cash balances were located outside the U.S. Given our extensive international operations, a significant portion of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. Refer to Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the primary currencies to which the Company is exposed. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We generally repatriate a portion of current year earnings from select non-U.S. subsidiaries only if the economic cost of the repatriation is not considered material.
The counterparties that hold our deposits consist of major financial institutions. We consistently monitor positions with, and the credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.
Our total borrowings were $1,274.8$1,389.9 at June 30, 2021,2022, including $24.8$139.9 tied to variable interest rates. Our total borrowings at September 30, 20202021 were $1,271.1.$1,276.5. We had outstanding borrowings of $121.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2022, primarily to fund the acquisition of Billie. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit of $6.5, as of June 30, 2022, $297.5 was available under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had outstanding international borrowings, recorded in Notes payable, of $24.8$18.9 and $21.1$26.5 as of June 30, 20212022 and September 30, 2020,2021, respectively.
As previously discussed,Effective February 7, 2022, we increased the maximum receivables sold facility amount under the Sixth Amendment to Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement to $180.0 from $150.0. Refer to Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on March 8, 2021, the Company entered into the 2029 Notes. The Company used the net proceeds of the 2029 Notes, together with cash on hand, to satisfy and discharge the obligations outstanding under its 4.70% Senior Notes in the amount of $500 due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”).our Accounts Receivable Facility.
Historically, we have generated, and expect to continue to generate, positive cash flows from operations. Our cash flows are affected by the seasonality of our Sun Care products, typically resulting in higher net sales and increased cash generated in the second and third quarter of each fiscal year. While we cannot reasonably estimate the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our cash flows, we believe our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our U.S Revolving Credit Facility due 2025 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital requirements, interest payments, R&D activities, capital expenditures, and other financing requirements for at least the next 12 months. We will continue to monitor our cash flows, spending and liquidity needs.
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant impact on our liquidity or capital resources. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which, depending on future developments, could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future.
Short-term financing needs consist primarily of working capital requirements and principal and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs will depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including acquisition activity and repayment or refinancing of our long-term debt obligations. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity on terms that are favorable to us. We may, from time-to-time, seek to repurchase shares of our common stock. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity on terms that are favorable to us.
The expected minimum required contribution to our pension plans in fiscal 2021 is $6.3; however, discretionary contributions may also be made. During the first nine months of fiscal 2021 we contributed $4.3 to our pension plans.
As of June 30, 2021,2022, we were in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with our debt agreements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
(Amounts in millions)
The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. At times, we enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce these exposures. For further information on our foreign currency derivative instruments, refer to Note 14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2021,2022, there were no open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchases of raw materials or commodities. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our variable-rate debt instruments, which currently bear interest based on LIBOR plus margin. As of June 30, 2021,2022, our outstanding variable-rate debt included $24.8$139.9 related to our Revolving Credit Facility and international, variable-rate notenotes payable. Assuming a one-percent increase in the applicable interest rates, annual interest expense on these variable-rate debt instruments would not increase materially.approximately $1.4.
There have been no material changes in our assessment of market risk sensitivity since our presentation of Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
