Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. SBH’s and SB/RH’s fiscal year ends September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three and six month periods, included within this Quarterly Report for the Company, are March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019. Newly Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which superseded the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Although the new ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists as the economics of leases can vary. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018- 11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” , which provided entities with an alternative modified transition method, for which, comparative periods, including the disclosures related to those periods, are not restated. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 as of October 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach, which allowed for the recognition of a cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings, while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. The Company’s adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets of $ 107.5 million and additional lease liabilities of $ 113.0 million, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. The difference between ROU assets and lease liabilities was driven primarily by prepaid lease payments, deferred and accrued lease incentives, and restructuring related accruals that were reclassified to the ROU asset balance as of October 1, 2019. The income tax accounting impact of ASC 842 adoption resulted in recording of deferred tax assets and tax liabilities of $ 29.7 million as of October 1, 2019. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications, and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient for all of its leases to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single, combined lease component. Therefore, all fixed payments associated with the lease, including non-lease components, are included in the ROU asset and the lease liability. Any variable payments related to the lease are recognized as lease expense when and as incurred. The Company also elected not to apply the recognition requirements to leases of twelve months or less. These leases are expensed on a straight-line basis and no operating lease liability is recorded. In accordance with Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, considering whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Lease liabilities are classified between current and long-term liabilities based on their payment terms. The operating lease ROU asset includes prepaid rent and reflects the unamortized balance of lease incentives. Our leases may include renewal options, and we include the renewal option in the lease term if we conclude that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate, such as the Company’s proportionate share of actual costs for utilities, common area maintenance, insurance, and property taxes, are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability, unless subject to fixed minimum requirements and are recognized as variable lease cost when the obligation for that payment is incurred. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide the lease implicit rates, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate, adjusted as applicable, based on the information available at the lease commencement dates to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow, on a collateralized basis and in a similar economic environment, over the term of a lease. The Company may use the lease implicit rate, if readily determinable, as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments. As of October 1, 2019, the Company used an average discount rate of approximately 4.6 %, based on an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. See Note 11 – Leases for additional information. We review the impairment of our ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. Long-lived fixed assets held and used are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline in the sales forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is being used, a history of operating or cash flow losses or an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review. If such indicators are present, the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. The asset value would be deemed impaired if the undiscounted cash flows generated did not exceed the carrying value of the respective asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), which allows for an optional reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2018-02 and elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act from AOCI to Retained Earnings, which resulted in reclassification of $ 0.3 million from AOCI to Retained Earnings. NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017- 12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . This guidance amends certain rules for hedging relationships, expands the types of strategies that are eligible for hedge accounting treatment to more closely align the results of hedge accounting with risk management activities and amends disclosure requirements related to fair value and net investment hedges. The Company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2019. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. Transaction related charges Transaction related charges consist of transaction costs from (1) qualifying acquisition transactions associated with the completion of the purchase of net assets or equity interest of a business such as a business combination, equity investment, joint venture or purchase of non-controlling interest; (2) subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business including costs for integration of acquired operations into the Company’s shared service platforms, termination of redundant positions and locations, employee transition costs, integration related professional fees and other post business combination expenses; and (3) divestiture support and separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred by the continuing operations after completion of the transaction to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction. Divestiture-related charges prior to completion of the transaction are recognized as a component of Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Transaction costs include, but are not limited to, banking, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional fees directly related to the respective transactions. See Note 2 - Divestitures and Note 3 – Acquisitions for further discussion.

(“Energizer”) for cash proceeds of $ 1,956.2 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $ 989.8 million during the year ended September 30, 2019, including the settlement of customary purchase price adjustments for working capital and assumed indebtedness, recognition of tax and legal indemnifications under the acquisition agreement and an estimated contingent purchase price adjustment for the settlement of the planned divestiture of the Varta® consumer batteries business by Energizer. The results of operations and gain on sale for disposal of the GBL business were recognized as a component of discontinued operations during the year ended September 30, 2019. The GBL acquisition agreement provided for a purchase price adjustment that was contingent upon the completion of the divestiture of the Varta® consumer battery, chargers, portable power and portable lighting business in the EMEA region by Energizer, including manufacturing and distribution facilities in Germany. The purchase price adjustment included a downward adjustment equal to 75 % of the difference between the divestiture sale price and the target sale price of $ 600 million, not to exceed $ 200 million, or a potential upward adjustment equal to 25 % of the excess purchase price. Effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestiture of the Varta® consumer batteries business to Varta Aktiengesellschaft (“Varta AG”) with an aggregate purchase price of € 180 million and, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the GBL acquisition agreement, the Company was obligated to contribute up to $ 200.0 million to Energizer in connection with the sale. The Company settled the outstanding balance with Energizer for $ 197.0 million during the three month period ended March 29, 2020. The Company and Energizer have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GBL acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. The Company has agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and Energizer has agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreement. As of March 29, 2020, the Company recognized $ 47.6 million related to indemnifications in accordance with the acquisition agreement, including $ 31.7 million within Indemnification Payable to Energizer on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to current income tax indemnifications and $ 15.9 million within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits. The Company and Energizer entered into related agreements that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition including a customary transition services agreement (“TSA”) and reverse TSA. The TSA and reverse TSA are recognized as a component of continuing operations for periods following the completion of the GBL sale. See Note 18 – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion. NOTE 2 – DIVESTITURES (continued) The following table summarizes the components of Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax associated with the GBL divestiture in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six month period ended March 31, 2019: Three Month Period Ended Six Month Period Ended (in millions) March 31, 2019 March 31, 2019 Net sales $ — $ 249.0 Cost of goods sold — 164.6 Gross profit — 84.4 Operating expenses 2.3 57.0 Operating (loss) income ( 2.3 ) 27.4 Interest expense 10.0 23.3 Other non-operating expense, net — 0.5 Gain on sale ( 996.3 ) ( 996.3 ) Reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income 18.5 18.5 Income from discontinued operations before income taxes $ 965.5 $ 981.4 During the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized incremental pre-tax gain on sale of $ 1.4 million and $ 3.8 million, respectively, for changes to tax and legal indemnifications and other agreed-upon funding under the acquisition agreement. Beginning in January 2018, the Company ceased the recognition of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets associated with GBL, therefore no depreciation and amortization was recognized during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019. Interest expense consists of interest from debt directly held by subsidiaries of the business held for sale, including interest from capital leases, and interest on Term Loans required to be paid down using proceeds received on disposal on sale of a business. The Company paid down the Term Loans after the completion of the GBL divestiture. No impairment loss was recognized as the proceeds from the disposal of the business were more than the carrying value. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred transaction costs of $ 2.3 million and $ 12.9 million, respectively, associated with the divestiture, which were recognized as a component of income from discontinued operations. Transaction costs were expensed as incurred and included fees for investment banking services, legal, accounting, due diligence, tax, valuation and various other services necessary to complete the transaction. After the completion of the divestiture, the Company incurred incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction which have been recognized as Transaction Related Charges as part of continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies for further detail. GAC On January 28, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its GAC business pursuant to the GAC acquisition agreement with Energizer for $ 938.7 million in cash proceeds and $ 242.1 million in stock consideration of common stock of Energizer, resulting in the write-down of net assets held for sale of $ 111.0 million during the year ended September 30, 2019, including the settlement of customary purchase price adjustments for working capital and assumed indebtedness, and recognition of tax and legal indemnifications in accordance with the GAC acquisition agreement. The results of operations and write-down of net assets held for sale for the disposal of the GAC business were recognized as a component of discontinued operations during the year ended September 30, 2019. The Company and Energizer have agreed to indemnify each other for losses arising from certain breaches of the GAC acquisition agreement and for certain other matters. The Company has agreed to indemnify Energizer for certain liabilities relating to the assets retained by the Company, and Energizer has agreed to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities assumed by Energizer, in each case as described in the acquisition agreement. As of March 29, 2020, the Company has recognized $ 1.4 million related to indemnifications in accordance with the acquisition agreement within Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position primarily attributable to income tax indemnifications associated with previously recognized uncertain tax benefits. The Company and Energizer entered into related agreements ancillary to the GAC acquisition that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a TSA and reverse TSA, a supply agreement with the Company’s H&G business, as well as a shareholder agreement. The TSA and reverse TSA are recognized as a component of continuing operations for periods following the completion of the GAC sale. The supply agreement with the Company’s H&G business is recognized as a component of net sales and continuing operations. Sales from the Company’s H&G segment to GAC discontinued operations prior to the divestiture have been recognized as a component of net sales and continuing operations for all comparable periods. See Note 18 – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion. The following table summarizes the components of income from discontinued operations before income taxes associated with the GAC divestiture in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019: Three Month Period Ended Six Month Period Ended (in millions) March 31, 2019 March 31, 2019 Net sales $ 22.1 $ 87.7 Cost of goods sold 13.2 52.5 Gross profit 8.9 35.2 Operating expenses 8.0 35.7 Operating income (loss) 0.9 ( 0.5 ) Interest expense 0.2 0.7 Other non-operating expense, net 0.1 0.2 Write-down of assets of business held for sale to fair value less cost to sell 3.5 110.8 Reclassification of accumulated other comprehensive income 3.3 3.3 Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes $ ( 6.2 ) $ ( 115.5 ) NOTE 2 – DIVESTITURES (continued) Beginning in November 2018, the Company ceased the recognition of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets associated with GAC, resulting in $ 1.4 million of depreciation and amortization recognized during the six month period ended March 31, 2019. Interest expense consists of interest from debt directly held by subsidiaries of the business held for sale, including interest from capital leases. During the six month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a $ 110.8 million write-down on net assets held for sale associated with the GAC divestiture attributable to the expected fair value to be realized from the sale, net of transaction costs. The impairment was primarily driven by the change in value of stock consideration to be received as a component of the purchase price from Energizer. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred transaction costs of $ 3.0 million and $ 8.8 million, respectively, associated with the divestiture which have been recognized as a component of income from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred and include fees for investment banking services, legal, accounting, due diligence, tax, valuation and various other services necessary to complete the transactions. After the completion of the divestiture, the Company incurred incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction which have been recognized as Transaction Related Charges as part of continuing operations on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies for further detail. Coevorden Operations On March 29, 2020, the Company completed its sale of the dog and cat food (“DCF”) production facility and distribution center in Coevorden, Netherlands (“Coevorden Operations”) pursuant to an agreement with United Petfood Producers NV (“UPP”) for total cash proceeds of $ 30.1 million. As of March 29, 2019, the net assets of the Coevorden Operations were legally transferred to UPP, with the recognition of a receivable for the cash proceeds included within Other Non-Trade Receivables on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash proceeds were subsequently received on March 30, 2019. The divestiture does not constitute a strategic shift for the Company and therefore is not considered discontinued operations. The divestiture of the Coevorden Operations is defined as a disposal of a business and a component of the GPC segment and reporting unit, resulting in the allocation of $ 10.6 million of GPC goodwill to the disposal group based upon a relative fair-value allocation. The Company realized a loss on assets held for sale of $ 25.7 million during the six month period ended March 29, 2020. The Company and UPP entered into related agreements ancillary to the acquisition that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a TSA. The Company will continue to operate its commercial DCF business following the divestiture of the Coevorden Operations and entered into a manufacturing agreement with UPP to supply the continuing DCF business, subject to an incremental tolling charge. Additionally, the Company will lease and operate the distribution center on behalf of UPP for up to 18 months following the divestiture under a lease agreement.

The Company has recorded an allocation of the purchase price to the Company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of March 10, 2020, the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill, resulting in the recognition of $ 4.4 million for the indefinite lived intangible asset Omega trade name and the allocation of goodwill of $ 8.6 million, allocated to the GPC segment and deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma results have not been presented as the Omega acquisition is not considered individually significant to the consolidated results of the Company.

Restructuring And Related Charges [Abstract]
Restructuring And Related Charges	NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES Global Productivity Improvement Plan – During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company initiated a company-wide, multi-year program, which consists of various restructuring related initiatives to redirect resources and spending to drive growth, identify cost savings and pricing opportunities through standardization and optimization, develop organizational and operating optimization, and reduce overall operational complexity across the Company. Since the announcement of the project and completion of the Company’s divestitures of GBL and GAC during the year ended September 30, 2019, the project focus includes the transitioning of the Company’s continuing operations in a post-divestiture environment and separation with Energizer TSAs and reverse TSAs. Refer to Note 2 – Divestitures and Note 18 – Related Party Transactions for further discussion of continuing involvement with Energizer. The initiative includes review of global processes and organization design and structures; headcount reductions and transfers; and rightsizing the Company’s shared operations and commercial business strategy in certain regions and local jurisdictions; among others. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were $ 101.7 million as of March 29, 2020, with approximately $ 89.4 million forecasted in the foreseeable future. The project costs are anticipated to be incurred through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022. Other Restructuring Activities – The Company may enter into small, less significant initiatives and restructuring related activities to reduce costs and improve margins throughout the organization. Individually these activities are not substantial and occur over a shorter time period (generally less than 12 months).

Goodwill And Intangible Assets	NOTE 9 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill consists of the following: (in millions) HHI GPC H&G Total As of September 30, 2019 $ 702.1 $ 430.4 $ 195.6 $ 1,328.1 Foreign currency impact ( 3.0 ) 1.0 — ( 2.0 ) Omega Sea acquisition (Note 3) — 8.6 — 8.6 Allocated to Assets Held for Sale - Coevorden Operations (Note 2) — ( 10.6 ) — ( 10.6 ) As of March 29, 2020 $ 699.1 $ 429.4 $ 195.6 $ 1,324.1 Following the recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale and allocation of goodwill, the Company remeasured the fair value of its GPC reporting unit goodwill. The fair value of the remaining GPC reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 17 % and the Company did not recognize an impairment. The GPC reporting unit goodwill of $ 429.4 million as of March 29, 2020 is still deemed ‘at risk’ of impairment in the near term if operating performance does not continue to improve in line with management expectations, or a negative long-term outlook for the business, or another change in factors and assumptions such as discount rate. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in additional future impairment charges for the GPC reporting unit goodwill, and potentially other reporting unit goodwill not considered ‘at risk’. While we have concluded that a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended March 29, 2020, a prolonged pandemic could negatively impact the results of operations, net sales and earnings growth rates, changes in key assumptions and other global and regional macroeconomic factors. The carrying value of indefinite-lived intangibles and definite-lived intangibles assets subject to amortization and accumulated amortization are as follows: March 29, 2020 September 30, 2019 (in millions) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Amortizable Intangible Assets: Customer relationships $ 684.8 $ ( 344.8 ) $ 340.0 $ 694.9 $ ( 329.7 ) $ 365.2 Technology assets 175.7 ( 96.4 ) 79.3 179.4 ( 90.9 ) 88.5 Tradenames 160.8 ( 125.3 ) 35.5 160.4 ( 118.1 ) 42.3 Total Amortizable Intangible Assets 1,021.3 ( 566.5 ) 454.8 1,034.7 ( 538.7 ) 496.0 Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets - Tradenames 998.5 — 998.5 1,011.1 — 1,011.1 Total Intangible Assets $ 2,019.8 $ ( 566.5 ) $ 1,453.3 $ 2,045.8 $ ( 538.7 ) $ 1,507.1 The Company assessed the indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets associated with the continuing commercial DCF business following recognition of the Coevorden Operations as held for sale. During the six month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment of $ 16.6 million on indefinite-lived intangible assets of tradenames associated with the commercial DCF business due to the reduced value of the associated tradenames, leaving no excess fair value as of the measurement date and risk of future impairment. For the remaining tradenames associated with the DCF business, there were $ 3.3 million of indefinite lived intangible assets that could be deemed at risk of future impairment due to the limited excess fair value. For definite lived intangible assets, the Company recognized an impairment of $ 7.6 million due to the incremental cash flow risk associated with the commercial DCF business following the planned divestiture of the Coevorden Operations, which consisted of the remaining carrying cost of the definite lived intangibles assets associated with the commercial DCF business. There were no additional impairments identified during the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020. While a triggering event did not occur during the three month period ended March 29, 2020, a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact net sales growth rate, change in key assumptions, and other global and regional macroeconomic factors that could result in additional future impairment charges for indefinite-lived intangible assets. Amortization expense from the intangible assets for the three month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $ 16.9 million and $ 17.4 million, respectively; and for the six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $ 34.0 million and $ 50.2 million, respectively. During the six month period ended March 31, 2019, there was an incremental amortization expense of $ 15.5 million attributable to amortization expense on intangible assets of HPC that were previously held for sale. Excluding the impact of any future acquisitions or changes in foreign currency, the Company estimates annual amortization expense of intangible assets for the next five fiscal years will be as follows: (in millions) Amortization 2020 $ 77.2 2021 60.6 2022 46.6 2023 44.0 2024 43.3

Derivatives [Abstract]
Derivatives	NOTE 12 - DERIVATIVES Cash Flow Hedges Commodity Swaps. The Company is exposed to risk from fluctuating prices for raw materials, specifically brass used in its manufacturing processes. Brass consists of zinc and copper. The Company hedges a portion of the risk associated with the purchase of these materials using commodity swaps. The hedge contracts are designated as cash flow hedges with the fair value changes recorded in AOCI and as a hedge asset or liability, as applicable. The unrecognized changes in fair value of the hedge contracts are reclassified from AOCI into earnings when the hedged purchase of raw materials also affects earnings. The swaps effectively fix the floating price on a specified quantity of raw materials through a specified date. At March 29, 2020, the Company had a series of brass swap contracts outstanding through August 31, 2021 . The derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $ 0.5 million, net of tax. The Company had the following commodity swap contracts outstanding as of March 29, 2020 and September 30, 2019. March 29, 2020 September 30, 2019 (in millions) Notional Contract Value Notional Contract Value Brass swap contracts 0.9 Tons $ 4.1 0.9 Tons $ 4.4 Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of the risk from forecasted foreign currency denominated third party and intercompany sales or payments. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars, or Japanese Yen. These foreign exchange contracts are cash flow hedges of fluctuating foreign exchange related to sales of product or raw material purchases. Until the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is recorded in AOCI and as a derivative hedge asset or liability, as applicable. At the time the sale or purchase is recognized, the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified as an adjustment to Net Sales or purchase price variance in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At March 29, 2020, the Company had a series of foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding through September 29, 2021 . The derivative net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months is $ 4.0 million, net of tax. At March 29, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had foreign exchange derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges with a notional value of $ 201.4 million and $ 235.6 million, respectively. Interest Rate Swaps. The Company had a series of U.S. dollar denominated interest rate swaps outstanding which effectively fixed the interest on floating rate debt related to the 2022 Term Loan, exclusive of lender spreads, at 1.76 % for a notional principal amount of $ 300.0 million through May 8, 2020 . On January 4, 2019, the underlying debt and related hedge were settled. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $ 3.6 million during the six months ended March 31, 2019, recognized as a component of discontinued operations as interest expense from the Term Loans per Note 2 – Divestitures. As of March 29, 2020, there are no outstanding interest rate swaps hedges. The following table summarizes the impact of designated cash flow hedges and the pre-tax gain (loss) recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively: For the three month periods Reclassified to ended March 29, 2020 Gain (Loss) Reclassified to Continuing Operations Discontinued (in millions) in OCI Line Item Gain (Loss) Operations Commodity swaps $ ( 0.9 ) Cost of goods sold $ ( 0.1 ) $ — Foreign exchange contracts ( 0.1 ) Net sales — — Foreign exchange contracts 8.8 Cost of goods sold 1.8 — Total $ 7.8 $ 1.7 $ — For the three month periods Reclassified to ended March 31, 2019 Gain (Loss) Reclassified to Continuing Operations Discontinued (in millions) in OCI Line Item Gain (Loss) Operations Commodity swaps $ 0.5 Cost of goods sold $ ( 0.1 ) $ ( 1.9 ) Foreign exchange contracts ( 0.1 ) Net sales ( 0.1 ) — Foreign exchange contracts ( 0.1 ) Cost of goods sold 3.1 — Total $ 0.3 $ 2.9 $ ( 1.9 ) For the six month periods Reclassified to ended March 29, 2020 Gain (Loss) Reclassified to Continuing Operations Discontinued (in millions) in OCI Line Item Gain (Loss) Operations Commodity swaps $ ( 0.7 ) Cost of goods sold $ ( 0.1 ) $ — Foreign exchange contracts — Net sales ( 0.1 ) — Foreign exchange contracts 2.3 Cost of goods sold 4.5 — Total $ 1.6 $ 4.3 $ — For the six month periods Reclassified to ended March 31, 2019 Gain (Loss) Reclassified to Continuing Operations Discontinued (in millions) in OCI Line Item Gain (Loss) Operations Interest rate swaps $ ( 0.6 ) Interest expense $ — $ 2.2 Commodity swaps ( 0.6 ) Cost of goods sold ( 0.2 ) ( 4.4 ) Foreign exchange contracts ( 0.2 ) Net sales ( 0.1 ) — Foreign exchange contracts 7.2 Cost of goods sold 6.0 0.5 Total $ 5.8 $ 5.7 $ ( 1.7 ) NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVES (continued) Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedges for Accounting Purposes Foreign exchange contracts. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of the risk from third party and intercompany payments resulting from existing obligations. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Taiwanese Dollars, Philippine Peso, or Australian Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of a related liability or asset recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The gain or loss on the derivative hedge contracts is recorded in earnings as an offset to the change in value of the related liability or asset at each period end. At March 29, 2020, the Company had a series of forward exchange contracts outstanding through April 24, 2020 . At March 29, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had $ 531.8 million and $ 977.5 million, respectively, of notional value of such foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding. The following summarizes the impact of derivative instruments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, pre-tax: Three Month Periods Ended Six Month Periods Ended (in millions) Line Item March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 Foreign exchange contracts Other non-operating expense (income) $ 22.9 $ 17.4 $ ( 2.2 ) $ 13.1 Fair Value of Derivative Instruments The fair value of the Company’s outstanding derivative contracts recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position is as follows: (in millions) Line Item March 29, 2020 September 30, 2019 Derivative Assets Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge Other receivables $ 5.6 $ 7.8 Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge Deferred charges and other 0.4 0.5 Foreign exchange contracts - not designated as hedge Other receivables 7.7 1.2 Total Derivative Assets $ 13.7 $ 9.5 Derivative Liabilities Commodity swaps - designated as hedge Accounts payable $ 0.7 $ 0.2 Commodity swaps - designated as hedge Other long term liabilities 0.1 — Foreign exchange contracts - designated as hedge Accounts payable 0.1 0.2 Foreign exchange contracts - not designated as hedge Accounts payable 0.5 1.9 Total Derivative Liabilities $ 1.4 $ 2.3 The Company is exposed to the risk of default by the counterparties with which it transacts and generally does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company monitors counterparty credit risk on an individual basis by periodically assessing each counterparty’s credit rating exposure. The maximum loss due to credit risk equals the fair value of the gross asset derivatives that are concentrated with certain domestic and foreign financial institution counterparties. The Company considers these exposures when measuring its credit reserve on its derivative assets, which were not significant as of March 29, 2020. The Company’s standard contracts do not contain credit risk related contingent features whereby the Company would be required to post additional cash collateral because of a credit event. However, the Company is typically required to post collateral in the normal course of business to offset its liability positions. As of March 29, 2020, and September 30, 2019, there was no cash collateral outstanding and no posted standby letters of credit related to such liability positions. Net Investment Hedge Spectrum Brands, Inc. (“SBI”), has € 425 million aggregate principle amount of 4.00 % Notes designated as a non-derivative economic hedge, or net investment hedge, of the translation of the Company’s net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries at the time of issuance. The hedge effectiveness is measured on the beginning balance of the net investment and re-designated every three months. Due to changes in the net investments in Euro denominated subsidiaries, € 345.6 million of the original principal amount was designated as a net investment hedge as of March 29, 2020 . As a result, any gains and losses attributable to the translation of the Euro denominated debt designated as net investment hedge were recognized as a component of foreign currency translation within AOCI, and gains and losses attributable to the translation of the undesignated portion are recognized as foreign currency translation gains or losses within Other Non-Operating Income (Expense). For the three and six month period ended March 31, 2019, the full principal amount was designated as a net investment hedge and considered fully effective . Three Month Periods Ended Six Month Periods Ended Gain (loss) in OCI (in millions) March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 Net investment hedge $ 2.2 $ 8.8 $ ( 2.8 ) $ 17.8 During the three month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain in earnings related to the translation of the undesignated portion of debt obligation of $ 0.5 million. During the six month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss in earnings of $ 1.2 million. Net gains or losses from the net investment hedge are reclassified from AOCI into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of Euro denominated subsidiaries.

Shareholder's Equity [Abstract]
Stockholder's Equity	NOTE 15 – SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY Share Repurchases The Company has a share repurchase program that is executed through purchases made from time to time either in the open market or otherwise. On July 24, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a $ 1 billion common stock repurchase program. The authorization is effective for 36 months. As part of the share repurchase program, the Company purchased treasury shares in open market purchases at market fair value, in private purchases from Company employees at fair value and through an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution. On November 18, 2019, SBH entered into an ASR to repurchase $ 125 million of the Company’s common stock. At inception, pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid $ 125.0 million to the financial institution using cash on hand and took delivery of 1.7 million shares which represented approximately 85 % of the total shares the Company expected to receive based on the market price at the time of the initial delivery. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction. The fair value of shares received initially of $ 106.3 million was recorded as a treasury stock transaction, with the remainder of $ 18.7 million recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Upon initial receipt of the shares, there was an immediate reduction in the weighted average common shares calculation for basic and diluted earnings per share. On February 24, 2020, the Company closed and settled the ASR resulting in an additional delivery of 0.3 million shares, with a fair value of $ 18.5 million. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR program was 2.0 million at an average cost per share of $ 61.59 , based on the volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock during the calculation period of the ASR program, less the applicable contractual discount. The following summarizes the activity of common stock repurchases under the program for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019: March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 Number of Average Number of Average Shares Price Shares Price Three Month Periods Ended (in millions except per share data) Repurchased Per Share Amount Repurchased Per Share Amount Open Market Purchases 2.7 $ 54.54 $ 149.2 4.6 $ 54.22 $ 250.0 ASR 0.3 59.69 18.5 — — — Total Purchases 3.0 $ 55.06 $ 167.7 4.6 $ 54.22 $ 250.0 March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 Number of Average Number of Average Shares Price Shares Price Six Month Periods Ended (in millions except per share data) Repurchased Per Share Amount Repurchased Per Share Amount Open Market Purchases 4.0 $ 56.97 $ 230.6 4.6 $ 54.22 $ 250.0 Private Purchases 0.2 62.30 9.2 0.3 56.02 18.5 ASR 2.0 61.47 124.7 — — — Total Purchases 6.2 $ 58.57 $ 364.5 4.9 $ 54.34 $ 268.5

Share Based Compensation [Abstract]
Share Based Compensation	NOTE 16 - SHARE BASED COMPENSATION Share based compensation expense is recognized as General and Administrative Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and consists of costs from the Spectrum equity plan. The following is a summary of share based compensation expense for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 for SBH and SB/RH, respectively. Three Month Periods Ended Six Month Periods Ended (in millions) March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 SBH $ 13.1 $ 15.9 $ 26.0 $ 21.8 SB/RH $ 12.6 $ 15.5 $ 25.4 $ 21.1 The Company recognizes share based compensation expense primarily from the issuance of its Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) based on the fair value of the awards, as determined by the market price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the designated grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Certain RSUs are performance-based awards that are dependent upon achieving specified financial metrics over a designated period of time. Beginning in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the Company provided to certain employees RSU grants issued under a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), with a 3-year, cliff vesting schedule and having both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets (adjusted EBITDA, return on equity, and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service. The Company also provided for bridge awards that are special awards to certain employees for transitioning to the LTIP from previous equity incentive compensation plans. Bridge awards vest annually, on November 21, 2019 and November 21, 2020, and have both performance conditions dependent upon achieving specified financial targets in fiscal year 2019 and 2020, respectively, (adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow) and time-based service conditions ( 60 % performance/ 40 % service). Bridge awards are payable in either RSUs or cash, or both, based upon an employee election. Bridge awards elected to be payable in RSU are recognized as equity awards and included as a component of share-based compensation expense. Additionally, the Company regularly issues individual RSU awards under its equity plan to its Board members and individual employees for recognition, incentive, or retention purposes, when needed, which are primarily conditional upon time-based service conditions and included as a component of share-based compensation.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 17 - INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was as follows: Three Month Periods Ended Six Month Periods Ended Effective tax rate March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 March 29, 2020 March 31, 2019 SBH 24.3 % 29.6 % 15.9 % 23.9 % SB/RH 23.5 % 58.2 % 15.0 % 33.5 % The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and six month periods ended March 29, 2020 differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21 % principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), net operating losses outside the U.S. that are not more likely than not to result in a tax benefit, certain nondeductible expenses, and foreign rates that differ from the US federal statutory rate. The Company has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards, which do not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deduction. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI is therefore 21 %. During the six month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company also recognized a $ 5.3 million tax benefit from the favorable settlement of an income tax examination. As of March 29, 2020, there is $ 0.8 million of income taxes payable on the SB/RH Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, payable to its parent company, calculated as if SB/RH were a separate taxpayer.

Effective the close of the GBL divestiture on January 2, 2019, and GAC divestiture on January 28, 2019, the Company and Energizer entered into a series of TSAs and reverse TSAs that support various shared back office administrative functions including finance, sales and marketing, information technology, human resources, real estate and supply chain, customer service and procurement; to support both the transferred GBL operations and the continuing operations of Spectrum, respectively, within the various regions in which they operate. Charges associated with TSAs and reverse TSAs are recognized as bundled service costs under a fixed fee structure by the respective service or function and geographic location and one-time pass-through charges, including warehousing, freight, among others, to and from Energizer that settle on a net basis between the two parties. The TSAs and reverse TSAs were further expanded to incorporate the activity and operations attributable to the close of the GAC divestiture. Charges to Energizer for TSA services are recognized as a reduction of the respective operating costs incurred by Spectrum and recognized as a component of operating expense or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by Spectrum. Charges from Energizer for reverse TSA services are recognized as operating expenses or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by Energizer. The TSAs and reverse TSAs have an overall expected time period of 12 months following the close of the transaction with some variability in expiration dependent upon the completed transition of the respective service or function and its geographic location and provide up to 12 additional months for a total duration of up to 24 months. Effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestiture of the European based Varta® consumer battery business in the EMEA region to Varta AG, which also transferred TSAs and reverse TSAs associated with the divested entities to be assumed by Varta AG. As a result, a portion of the TSA and reverse TSA charges with Energizer were transferred to Varta AG. During the three month period ended March 29, 2020, the Company recognized net loss of $ 1.5 million, consisting of TSA charges of $ 2.2 million and reverse TSA costs of $ 3.7 million.

In addition to the TSAs and reverse TSAs, the Company, Energizer and Varta AG will receive cash and/or make payments on behalf of the respective counterparty’s operations as part of the shared administrative functions, resulting in cash flow being commingled with the operating cash flow of the Company. The Company recognizes a net payable or receivable with Energizer and Varta AG for any outstanding TSA and reverse TSA related services and net working capital attributable to commingled cash flow. As of March 29, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company had net payable of $ 3.0 million and net receivable of $ 12.8 million, respectively, with Energizer included in Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Statement of Financial Position.

Additionally, for a period of 18 months following the closing of the GAC acquisition, the Company is required to vote in favor of Energizer’s board of director nominees and in accordance with the Energizer board’s recommendations on all other matters at any meeting of Energizer’s shareholders. Additionally, pursuant to the Energizer Shareholder Agreement, the Company has agreed not to transfer any of its Shares or other equity securities in Energizer, or engage in certain hedging transactions from the closing of the GAC acquisition until the day that is twelve months after the GAC closing date and, following such period, subject to certain limitations, not to transfer any such Energizer shares or other equity securities to any person or entity who would thereafter beneficially own more than 4.9 % of Energizer’s outstanding shares of equity securities after giving effect to such transaction. Following the 18 month anniversary of the closing of the GAC acquisition, Energizer will have the right to repurchase any or all of the shares held by the Company for a purchase price per share equal to the greater of the volume-weighted average sales price per share for the ten consecutive trading days beginning on the 12 th trading day immediately preceding notice of the repurchase from Energizer and 100% of the volume-weighted average sale price per share of the common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the GAC agreement.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any of the matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows. Shareholder Litigation. The Company has provided an estimated cost of $ 1.1 million, net anticipated third party insurance recoveries, for a proposed settlement related to the state court class action complaint filed on August 16, 2019 in the Circuit Court of Dane County, Wisconsin against the Company and certain of the Company’s current and former directors and officers, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The complaint alleged that certain financial statements incorporated into the registration statement contained misstatements in violation of the Securities Act of 1933. Separately, on July 12, 2019, an amended consolidated class action complaint filed earlier in 2018 was filed in the United State District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin by the Public School Teachers’ Pension & Retirement Fund of Chicago and the Cambridge Retirement against Spectrum Brands’ Legacy, Inc. (“Spectrum Legacy”). The complaint alleges that the defendants violated the Securities Act of 1934 by making misrepresentations and omissions in Spectrum Legacy’s financial statements. The amended complaint added HRG Group, Inc. (“HRG”) as a defendant and asserted additional claims against the Company on behalf of a purported class of HRG shareholders. The class period of the consolidated amended complaint is from January 26, 2017 to November 19, 2018, and the plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, interest, attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. The Company believes the suit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any other matters related to this complaint will have a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition. Environmental. The Company has provided for an estimated cost of $ 11.5 million and $ 12.2 million, as of March 29, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, associated with environmental remediation activities at some of its current and former manufacturing sites, included in Other Long-Term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. Product Liability. The Company may be named as a defendant in lawsuits involving product liability claims. The Company has recorded and maintains an estimated liability in the amount of management’s estimate for aggregate exposure for such liabilities based upon probable loss from loss reports, individual cases, and losses incurred but not reported. As of March 29, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $ 6.0 million and $ 5.9 million in product liability, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of the amounts provided that may result from resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. Product Warranty . The Company recognizes an estimated liability for standard warranty on certain products when we recognize revenue on the sale of the warranted products. Estimated warranty costs incorporate replacement parts, products and delivery, and are recorded as a cost of goods sold at the time of product shipment based on historical and projected warranty claim rates, claims experience and any additional anticipated future costs on previously sold products. The Company recognized $ 7.0 million and $ 7.2 million of warranty accruals as of March 29, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes:  Stock based and other incentive compensation costs that consist of costs associated with long-term compensation arrangements and other equity based compensation based upon achievement of long-term performance metrics; and generally consist of non-cash, stock-based compensation. During the year ending September 30, 2019, the Company issued certain incentive bridge awards due to changes in the Company’s long-term compensation plans that allow for cash based payment upon employee election which have been included in the adjustment but do not qualify for shared-based compensation. See Note 16 - Share Based Compensation for further discussion;  Restructuring and related charges, which consist of project costs associated with restructuring initiatives across the segments. See Note 4 - Restructuring and Related Charges for further details;  Transaction related charges that consist of (1) transaction costs from qualifying acquisition transactions during the period, or subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business; and (2) divestiture related transaction costs that are recognized in continuing operations and post-divestiture separation costs consisting of incremental costs to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred as part of the divestitures and exiting of TSAs. See Note 1 – Basis of Presentation & Significant Accounting Policies for additional details;  Gains and losses attributable to the Company’s investment in Energizer common stock, acquired as part of consideration received from the Company’s sale and divestiture of GAC.

Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles Of Consolidation And Fiscal Year End	Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. SBH’s and SB/RH’s fiscal year ends September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three and six month periods, included within this Quarterly Report for the Company, are March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards	Newly Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which superseded the lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as to disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Although the new ASU requires both operating and finance leases to be disclosed on the balance sheet, a distinction between the two types still exists as the economics of leases can vary. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018- 11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” , which provided entities with an alternative modified transition method, for which, comparative periods, including the disclosures related to those periods, are not restated. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11 as of October 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach, which allowed for the recognition of a cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings, while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. The Company’s adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets of $ 107.5 million and additional lease liabilities of $ 113.0 million, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. The difference between ROU assets and lease liabilities was driven primarily by prepaid lease payments, deferred and accrued lease incentives, and restructuring related accruals that were reclassified to the ROU asset balance as of October 1, 2019. The income tax accounting impact of ASC 842 adoption resulted in recording of deferred tax assets and tax liabilities of $ 29.7 million as of October 1, 2019. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications, and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient for all of its leases to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single, combined lease component. Therefore, all fixed payments associated with the lease, including non-lease components, are included in the ROU asset and the lease liability. Any variable payments related to the lease are recognized as lease expense when and as incurred. The Company also elected not to apply the recognition requirements to leases of twelve months or less. These leases are expensed on a straight-line basis and no operating lease liability is recorded. In accordance with Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception, considering whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases are classified as operating or finance leases at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Lease liabilities are classified between current and long-term liabilities based on their payment terms. The operating lease ROU asset includes prepaid rent and reflects the unamortized balance of lease incentives. Our leases may include renewal options, and we include the renewal option in the lease term if we conclude that it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate, such as the Company’s proportionate share of actual costs for utilities, common area maintenance, insurance, and property taxes, are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability, unless subject to fixed minimum requirements and are recognized as variable lease cost when the obligation for that payment is incurred. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide the lease implicit rates, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rates as the discount rate, adjusted as applicable, based on the information available at the lease commencement dates to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow, on a collateralized basis and in a similar economic environment, over the term of a lease. The Company may use the lease implicit rate, if readily determinable, as the discount rate to determine the present value of lease payments. As of October 1, 2019, the Company used an average discount rate of approximately 4.6 %, based on an estimate of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. See Note 11 – Leases for additional information. We review the impairment of our ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. Long-lived fixed assets held and used are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Circumstances such as the discontinuation of a product or product line, a sudden or consistent decline in the sales forecast for a product, changes in technology or in the way an asset is being used, a history of operating or cash flow losses or an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, among others, may trigger an impairment review. If such indicators are present, the Company performs an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. The asset value would be deemed impaired if the undiscounted cash flows generated did not exceed the carrying value of the respective asset group. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), which allows for an optional reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). Effective October 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2018-02 and elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act from AOCI to Retained Earnings, which resulted in reclassification of $ 0.3 million from AOCI to Retained Earnings. NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017- 12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities . This guidance amends certain rules for hedging relationships, expands the types of strategies that are eligible for hedge accounting treatment to more closely align the results of hedge accounting with risk management activities and amends disclosure requirements related to fair value and net investment hedges. The Company adopted this guidance effective October 1, 2019. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Transaction Related Charges	Transaction related charges Transaction related charges consist of transaction costs from (1) qualifying acquisition transactions associated with the completion of the purchase of net assets or equity interest of a business such as a business combination, equity investment, joint venture or purchase of non-controlling interest; (2) subsequent integration related project costs directly associated with an acquired business including costs for integration of acquired operations into the Company’s shared service platforms, termination of redundant positions and locations, employee transition costs, integration related professional fees and other post business combination expenses; and (3) divestiture support and separation costs consisting of incremental costs incurred by the continuing operations after completion of the transaction to facilitate separation of shared operations, development of transferred shared service operations, platforms and personnel transferred under the transaction. Divestiture-related charges prior to completion of the transaction are recognized as a component of Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Transaction costs include, but are not limited to, banking, advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional fees directly related to the respective transactions.
