NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In millions, except per share data)

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

TheThese condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the condensed consolidatedfinancial statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 and condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 have been prepared by Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (the “Company”).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2019 and results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.  Results of operations for interim periods may not be representative of results to be expected for the full year.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2017 and October 2018,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB issued new accounting guidance (with subsequent targeted amendments) which is intended to improvemodifies the measurements of expected credit losses for certain financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in itsinstruments and financial statements. These amendments also make targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting. Theassets, including trade receivables.  This guidance wasis effective for annual and interim periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2019 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2019.interim periods within those fiscal years.  The standard’s adoptionstandard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016 and July 2018,March 2020, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new lease accounting guidance requiring lesseesintended to recognize right-of-use lease assetsprovide temporary optional expedients and lease liabilitiesexceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the balance sheet for those leases previously classified as operating leases, with a term greater than a year. The new guidance also expandsfinancial reporting burdens related to the required quantitativeexpected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. Theother interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates.  This guidance was effective for annualbeginning on March 12, 2020, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and allowed companies tothe Company may apply the requirements retrospectively, eitheramendments prospectively to all prior periods presentedcontract modifications made or relationships entered into or evaluated through a cumulative adjustment in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which eliminates the reassessment of past leases, classification, and initial direct costs.  The Company has implemented the appropriate internal controls and tools to monitor and record historical and future lease arrangements and required disclosures.

For all existing operating leases as of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded Right of Use Assets of approximately $55.0 and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $57.0 with an offset to Deferred and Other Long-term Liabilities of approximately $2.0 to eliminate deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheet.  


In addition, based on the transition guidance surrounding failed sale-and-leaseback transactions, the Company re-evaluated the lease for its corporate headquarters in Ewing, New Jersey.  This lease was previously considered a failed sale-and-leaseback transaction under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840 because of continuing involvement. The re-evaluation resulted in a change in classification from a finance transaction to an operating lease.  The corporate headquarters building, which had a net book value of approximately $35.0 recorded in Property, Plant and Equipment as of December 31, 2018, was derecognized on January 1, 2019 and a Right of Use Asset of approximately $52.0 was recorded with an offset to Deferred Income Taxes of $4.0 and Retained Earnings of $13.0. The Lease Liability pertaining to this asset of $52.0 remained unchanged.  

In total, at the adoption of the new accounting guidance there were Right of Use Assets of approximately $107.0 and a corresponding Lease Liabilities of $109.0.  This did not include an existing cease-use liability of approximately $7.0 pertaining to one of the Company’s previous corporate offices that remained unchanged as a result of the transition.  Refer to Note 12 for the Company’s lease disclosures.

The effects of the recently adopted lease accounting standard to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 is as follows:

The Company recognizes transfers between input levels as of the actual date of the event.  There were no transfers between input levels during the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020.


Refer to Note 2 in the Form 10-K for a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  

The business acquisition liabilities represent the estimated fair value of additional future earn-outs payable for acquisitions of businesses that included earn-out clauses. The valuation of the contingent consideration will beis being evaluated on an ongoing basis and is based on management estimates and entity-specific assumptions which are considered Level 3 inputs.  A portionIn the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company decreased the fair value estimate of the contingent consideration liability for the Flawless Acquisition by $21.0 from $192.0 to $171.0 based on the revised valuation due to updated sales forecasts as well as the passage of time.  The $21.0 reduction of SG&A expense was recorded within the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International Segments.  The business acquisition liabilities for December 31, 2019 also included a $14.2 liability for the Agro Acquisition.  The Agro Acquisition earnout was paid in the second quarter of 2020.  As of December 31, 2019, the Agro Acquisition liability was recorded within Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses.  

The interest rate swap lock agreements are includedused to hedge the risk of changes in accounts payablethe interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark U.S. Dollar LIBOR interest rate associated with anticipated issuances of debt.  The liability increased by $38.1 during the first six months of 2020 primarily due to lower current and accrued expenses.projected interest rates resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated estimated fair values as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

Derivative Instruments and Risk Management

Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the price of the Common Stock and commodity prices expose the Company to market risk.  The Company manages these risks by the use of derivative instruments, such as cash flow and fair value hedges, diesel and commodity hedge contracts, equity derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts.  The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.  Refer to Note 3 in the Form 10-K for a discussion of each of the Company’s derivative instruments in effect as of December 31, 2018.2019.  

The notional amount of a derivative instrument is the nominal or face amount used to calculate payments made on that instrument.  Notional amounts are presented in the following table:

The transaction was funded with a three-year term loan and commercial paper borrowings. The Company anticipates there will beThere was a five-monthsix-month integration transition period in which the net cash received from Ideavillage will bewas accounted for as other revenue as a component of net sales. The Company will purchasepurchased the inventory following the transition period.period, and at such time, the Company became the principal party to the sales transactions. The FLAWLESS hair removal business is managed in the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments and represents an addition to ourthe Company’s specialty haircare portfolio which includes BATISTE dry shampoo, VIVISCAL hair thinning supplements, and TOPPIK hair fibers.

Intangible amortization expense was $22.7$24.5 and $17.8$22.7 for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively.  Intangible amortization expense amounted to $40.3$49.0 and $35.8$40.3 for the first six months of 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.  The Company estimates that intangible amortization expense will be approximately $90.0$98.0 in 20192020 and approximately $98.0$96.0 to $89.0$88.0 annually over the next five years.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company sold its PERL WEISS® toothpaste brand in Germany with a tradename net book value of $2.7 and corresponding goodwill of $1.3 for cash proceeds of $7.0.  The $3.0 gain associated with this transaction was recorded as a reduction of SG&A expense in the Consumer International segment.

Fair value for indefinite lived intangible assets was estimated based on a “relief from royalty” or “excess earnings” discounted cash flow method, which contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change, and therefore could impact fair values in the future.  The key assumptions used in determining fair value are sales growth, profitability margins, tax rates and discount rates. The Company determined that the carryingfair value of its trade names asall other intangible assets for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, was recoverable2019 exceeded their respective carrying values based upon the forecasted cash flows and profitabilityprofitability. The Company considers all of the brands.  In 2017 there was aits personal care trade name that, based on performance, hadbrands fair value to substantially exceed their carrying value.  However, in recent years the Company’s TROJAN business, specifically the condom category, has not grown and competition has increased resulting in a potential reduction in cash flows.  As a result, the TROJAN business has experienced sales and profit declines that hadhas eroded a significant portion of the excess between fair and carrying value, which could potentially result in an impairment of the asset.  In 2017, this excess had been reduced due in large part to an increased competitive market environment therefore resulting in reduced cash flow projections.tradename.  The performancecarrying value of the TROJAN tradename improved since 2017, thereby increasing the excess betweenis $176.4 million. As of December 31, 2019, fair value exceeded carrying value by 26%.  Key assumptions used


in the projections include discount rates of 9.5% in the U.S. and carrying11.5% internationally, growth assumptions of 0% to 2% and an average royalty rate of approximately 10%.  This indefinite-lived intangible asset is susceptible to impairment risk. While management can and has implemented strategies to address the risk, including lowering the Company’s production costs, investing in new product ideas, and developing new creative advertising, significant changes in operating plans or adverse changes in the future could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair value.  This could result in a decline in fair value that could trigger a future impairment charge of the tradename.

The Company continueshas continued to monitor performanceexperience a significant increase in consumer demand for many of its products that began in March, including VITAFUSION gummy vitamins, SIMPLY SALINE and should there be anySTERIMAR nasal hygiene products, A&H baking soda, and A&H cat litter and KABOOM bathroom cleaners.  On the other hand, the Company’s WATERPIK business has been negatively impacted by the temporary closure of dental offices across the United States and some other personal care brands have been negatively impacted by the temporary closures of certain non-essential retailers and the reduction of consumer foot traffic at retailers from which these brands derive a significant changeproportion of sales.  The Company is monitoring the impact the pandemic and the associated governmental response is having on its customers and consumer demand, as well as the potential impact on the Company’s short and long term cash flows as it relates to its intangible asset carrying values. 

In addition, the Company’s Passport Food Safety business, under pressure as a result of theCOVID-19 pandemic and new competitive activities, is experiencing sales and profit declines due to closures of meat processing plants and decreased demand for its products that could result in forecasted assumptions or estimates, including sales, profitability and discount rate, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment of the associated tradename and other intangible assets. The assets have a current net book value of approximately $24.0 million and are being amortized over their remaining weighted average life of 12 years.  The Company is implementing strategies to address the decline, however if unsuccessful, this decline could trigger a future impairment charge.

Leases

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, railcars and equipment. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019, lease components (base rental costs) are accounted for separately from the nonlease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs).  For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

In March 2020, the Company approved a capital project to purchase additional machinery and equipment at one of its leased manufacturing facilities. This led to a lease modification to include a renewal option that would extend the lease for an additional five years through 2029.  The modification resulted in an increase to the Company’s right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $7.3 recorded in the first quarter of 2020.  In June 2019, the Company amended an operating lease for one of its manufacturing facilities to extend the lease an additional ten years through 2033.  The amendment resulted in an increase to the Company’s right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $53.0 recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Recent Developments

 

Flawless AcquisitionCOVID-19 Disclosure

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is positively impacting certain of our businesses, while negatively impacting the short-term results of certain others. We have continued to experience a significant increase in consumer demand for many of our products that began in March, including VITAFUSION gummy vitamins, Simply Saline and Sterimar nasal hygiene products, A&H baking soda, and A&H cat litter and Kaboom bathroom cleaners. On May 1, 2019, we closed onthe other hand, our previously announced acquisitionWaterPik business has been negatively impacted by the temporary closure of dental offices across the FLAWLESS™United States and FINISHING TOUCH™ hair removal business (“Flawless”some other personal care brands have been negatively impacted by the temporary closures of certain non-essential retailers and the acquisition,reduction of consumer foot traffic at retailers from which these brands derive a significant proportion of sales.  Looking forward, we may experience significant reductions in demand or significant volatility in demand for one or more of our products, which may be caused by, among other things, the “Flawless Acquisition”)temporary or prolonged inability of consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine or other travel or gathering restrictions, store closures, unemployment or other financial hardship, shifts in demand away from Ideavillage Products Corporation (“Ideavillage”).one or more of our more discretionary or higher priced products to lower priced products, or stockpiling or similar pantry-loading or unloading activity.   

Some products have also been impacted by a shift in consumer spending away from more discretionary products.  While there is no certainty that current high levels of demand for certain of our products will continue, we have taken steps to increase short term manufacturing capacity for our cleaning products (including laundry detergent, baking soda, and cleaners) and health care products (including vitamins and nasal hygiene) and are working closely with our suppliers, contract manufacturers and retail partners to ensure sustained supply to keep pace with increased demand. We paid $475.0 at closingwill also make investments in the expansion of long-term in-house and will make an additional earn-out payment up tothird-party manufacturing capacity.  Although we have seen increased demand in certain of our product categories, in the future, the pandemic may cause reduced demand for our products if it results in a maximumrecessionary global economic environment.  The timing and impact of $425.0potential consumer pantry destocking in cash, based on a trailing twelve-month net sales target ending no later than December 31, 2021. The transaction was funded with a three-year term loan and commercial paper borrowings. We anticipate there will be a five-month integration transition periodmarkets in which the net cash received from Ideavillage will be accounted for as other revenue aswe serve may also have a component of net sales. We will purchase the inventory following the transition period. FLAWLESS is managed in the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments and represents an addition to our specialty haircare portfolio which includes BATISTE dry shampoo, VIVISCAL hair thinning supplements, and TOPPIK hair fibers.  Ideavillage will help support the business through a separate long-term transition services agreement.  

Amended Credit Agreement

On May 1, 2019, we amended our $1,000.0 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) to extend the term of the Credit Agreement from March 29, 2023 to March 29, 2024.  Under the Credit Agreement,negative impact on demand.  Moreover, we continue to experience and anticipate increased online sales during the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the corresponding government response have theled to increased unemployment and economic uncertainty, which could lead to a further reduction in consumer spending.  Economic conditions are, and we expect that they will continue to be, highly volatile and uncertain. Recessionary conditions could reduce demand for our discretionary products and put downward pressure on prices.  Some of our retail customers have closed their stores or reduced store hours, which has impacted their ability to increase our borrowing up to an additional $600.0, subject to lender commitmentsmeet outstanding obligations and certain conditions as describedmay cause further reductions in their purchases in the Credit Agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposes and are used to support our $1,000.0 commercial paper program.coming months.  

 

Term LoanSubstantially all of our manufacturing facilities and distribution centers, and those of our key suppliers, contract manufacturers, and transportation suppliers, currently remain open and continue to operate. Various state and local governments in the U.S. and other jurisdictions have required cessation of non-essential activities. Substantially all of our products are considered essential under applicable governmental requirements and guidance, including the Department of Homeland Security’s March 19, 2020 Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce.  We intend to continue to work with government authorities, implement our employee safety measuresand supplement our in-house manufacturing with increased use of contract manufacturers to ensure that we are able to continue to manufacture and distribute our products during the pandemic. However, uncertainty resulting from the pandemic could result in an unforeseen disruption to our supply chain (for example a closure of a key manufacturing or distribution facility or the inability of a key supplier, contract manufacturer or transportation supplier to source and transport materials) that could impact our operations and ability to supply products to our customers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

On May 1, 2019, we amended the credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for our $1,000.0 unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”“Revolving Credit Facility”) to extend the term of the Revolving Credit AgreementFacility from March 29, 2023 to March 29, 2024.  Under the Credit Agreement, weWe continue to have the ability to increase our borrowing up to an additional $600.0, subject to lender commitments and certain conditions as described in the Credit Agreement.  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for general corporate purposespurposes.  

In March 2020, we borrowed $825.0 under the Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and are usedpreserve financial flexibility in light of uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.  The full $825.0 was repaid in May 2020. We have the ability to support our $1,000.0 commercial paper program.

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had $97.9$451.7 in cash and cash equivalents, and approximately $886.9$933.0 available through the revolving facility under ourRevolving Credit AgreementFacility and our commercial paper program.  To preserve our liquidity, we invest cash primarily in government money market funds, prime money market funds, short-term commercial paper and short-term bank deposits.  

We repatriate excess cash held at our foreign subsidiaries. We repatriated approximately $13.0 during the second quarter of 2019 and $28.0 during the first six months of 2019. As of June 30, 2019, there is $47.0 of cash and cash equivalents held at foreign subsidiaries.

The current economic environment presents risks that could have adverse consequences for our liquidity.  See “Unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect demand for our products” under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20182019 (the “Form 10-K”). and in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report.  Although there is uncertainty related to the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, we believe our efficient business model and the recent steps we have taken to strengthen our balance sheet positioned us to manage our business through this crisis as it continues to unfold. We continue to manage all aspects of our business including, but not limited to, monitoring the financial health of our customers, suppliers and other third-party relationships, implementing gross margin enhancement strategies and developing new opportunities for growth. We do not anticipate that current economic conditions will adversely affect our ability to comply with the financial covenantcovenants in the Credit Agreement because we currently are, and anticipate that we will continue to be, in compliance with the maximum leverage ratio requirement underin the Credit Agreement.  

On February 5, 2019,January 31, 2020, the Board declared a 5%5.5% increase in the regular quarterly dividend from $0.2175$0.2275 to $0.2275$0.24 per share, equivalent to an annual dividend of $0.91$0.96 per share.share payable to stockholders of record as of February 14, 2020.  The increase raises the annual dividend payout from $213.3$224.0 to approximately $225.0.$237.0.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities– Our primary source of liquidity is the cash flow provided by operating activities, which is dependent on net income and changes in working capital.  Our net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 20192020 increased by $28.5$247.4 to $351.2$598.6 as compared to $322.7$351.2 in the same period in 20182019 due to higher cash earnings (net income plus non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization, deferred taxes, and non-cash compensation) partially offset by an increaseand a reduction in working capital. The change in working capital is primarily due to a larger increase in accounts receivable duethe deferral of U.S. federal income tax payments from the second to the timingthird quarter of sales$81.0 and a smaller increase inhigher accounts payable and accrued expenses, which in part is due to higher incentive compensation and profit sharing payments partially offset by our continued program to extend payment terms with our suppliers.  However, weinventories.  We measure working capital effectiveness based on our cash conversion cycle.  The following table presents our cash conversion cycle information for the quarters ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018:2019:

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K, which is modified by the disclosure below. These risks and uncertainties, along with those previously disclosed, could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition or future results.

We must successfully manage the demand, supply, and operational challenges associated with the actual or perceived effects of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Our business and financial results have been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, such as negative impact on the global and U.S. domestic economy, significant unemployment, market volatility, reduced travel or recommendations or mandates from governmental authorities to avoid various sized gatherings, close facilities, suspend operations, or to self-quarantine. These impacts include, but are not limited to:

Significant reductions in demand or significant volatility in demand for one or more of our products, which may be caused by, among other things: the temporary or prolonged inability of consumers to purchase our products due to illness, quarantine or other travel or gathering restrictions, store closures, unemployment or other financial hardship, shifts in demand away from one or more of our more discretionary or higher priced products to lower priced products, or stockpiling or similar pantry-loading or unloading activity. For example, our WaterPik business has been negatively impacted by the temporary closure of dental offices across the United States and some other personal care brands have been negatively impacted by the temporary closures of certain non-essential retailers and the reduction of consumer foot traffic at retailers from which they derive a significant proportion of their sales. WaterPik and some other personal care brands have also been impacted by reduced demand for discretionary consumable products by consumers due the impact of the pandemic, including increased unemployment and concerns about the economy. Continuing recessionary economic conditions, including after the direct impact of the pandemic has subsided, may continue to impact consumer demand for certain of our productsand put downward pressure on product prices.  Some of our retail customers have been forced to shut down or reduce their hours, which has impacted and may continue to impact their orders. If these impacts are prolonged, they can further increase the difficulty of planning for operations and may adversely impact our results.


Inability to meet our retailer orders and customers’ needs due to disruptions in our manufacturing and distribution network or capacity constraints or those of our finished goods, raw materials, or transportation suppliers caused by the closure or suspension of operations due to governmental prohibitions or employees becoming infected or refusing to work. In addition, our retailers may prioritize certain categories and we may be unable to shift our production capacity to address those shifts, which could also impact our ability to meet customer demand. While many of our facilities produce essential products and have been allowed to continue to operate despite general shut-down orders by certain governmental authorities, we could face challenges in continuing to operate such facilities as a result of employee absenteeism or sickness, additional governmental or regulatory actions, closures or other restrictions that limit or close our operating and manufacturing facilities or those of our suppliers.

If key employees become ill as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise our business activities may be adversely affected and our management team's attention may be diverted. In addition, we may not be able to locate suitable replacements for any key employees who become ill.

Although we are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our supply chain, we are unable to accurately predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have due to various uncertainties, including the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the pandemic, and the duration of the pandemic and corresponding government action. Restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could impact our supply chain both in the United States and globally. These restrictions may cause the price of certain raw materials used in our products to increase and/or we may experience disruptions to our operations.

Some of our customers, including mass merchandisers, supermarkets, drugstores, convenience stores, wholesale clubs, home stores, and dollar, pet and other specialty stores, have experienced, and may experience in the future, closures or reduced hours of or consumer capacity in their stores, declining financial performance, which could affect their ability to pay amounts due to us on a timely basis or at all, and any protracted economic downturn or recession that may adversely affect our suppliers and customers and could adversely affect our sales and results of operations.  In addition, we may be unable to maintain the same level of sales and profitability if consumers shift to a higher percentage of their purchases online and we are unable to shift our sales strategies or execute on them.

Due to government orders and the need to protect our workforce, the majority of our office and management personnel are working remotely, which could increase our exposure to technological failures or cybersecurity risks, which could negatively impact our operations.

Despite our efforts to manage and remedy these impacts to the Company, their ultimate impact also depends on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of any such outbreak as well as third-party or governmental actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects. While the vast majority of our products are consumer staples that generally are less vulnerable to decreases in discretionary spending than other products, some of our products, particularly WaterPik and some other personal care brands, are more discretionary in nature and, are more likely to be affected by consumer decisions to control spending and the impact and duration of recessionary economic conditions.
