Discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances vary the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to distributors. We estimate these discounts, slotting fees and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for product sales to customers. These estimates are based on contract terms and our historical experience with similar programs and require management judgement with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels.

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related loan using the effective interest method and are included as a component of interest expense on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Operating leases At lease commencement, we record a lease liability based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. We calculate the present value of lease payments using the discount rate implicit in the lease, unless that rate cannot be readily determined. In that case, we use our incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments over the expected lease term. We record a corresponding right-of-use lease asset based on the lease liability, adjusted for any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs paid to the lessor prior to the lease commencement date.
