Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Background	Background Gates Industrial Corporation plc (the “Company”) is a public limited company that was incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales on September 25, 2017. In these consolidated financial statements and related notes, all references to “Gates”, “we”, “us”, “our” refer, unless the context requires otherwise, to the Company and its subsidiaries. Gates manufactures a wide range of power transmission and fluid power products and components for a large variety of industrial and automotive applications, both in the aftermarket and first-fit channels, throughout the world. Gates is comprised of two operating segments: Power Transmission and Fluid Power. The first quarter of 2020 marked the beginning of an unprecedented environment for the global economy, as governments, companies and communities implemented strict measures to minimize the spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. While we have generally seen a rebound in demand from the pandemic-induced declines of 2020, the evolving impact of the pandemic, including the emergence of variants, and continuing measures being taken around the world to combat the pandemic’s spread, may have ongoing implications for our business which may vary from time to time. Some of these impacts may be material but cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant accounting policies	Significant accounting policies A. Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements and related notes are the same as those applied in the prior year, except for the adoption on the first day of our 2021 fiscal year of the following new Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”): • ASU 2019-12 “ Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ” (Topic 740): Income Taxes In December 2019, the Financial Accountant Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU to simplify and reduce the complexity of general principles in Topic 740: Income Taxes. Such simplifications include the elimination of certain exceptions to: 1) the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, 2) the requirement to recognize a deferred income tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, 3) the ability not to recognize a deferred income tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary, and 4) the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU did not have any significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. B. Accounting periods The Company prepares its annual consolidated financial statements as of the Saturday nearest December 31. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheets are presented as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity are presented for the years ended January 1, 2022 (“Fiscal 2021”), January 2, 2021 (“Fiscal 2020”) and December 28, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”). C. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations, cash flows and assets and liabilities of Gates and its majority-owned subsidiaries, and our share of the results of our equity method investees. We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling interest or when we are considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of consolidated subsidiaries and the non-controlling parties’ ownership interest is presented as a non-controlling interest. Intercompany transactions and balances, and any unrealized profits or losses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation. D. Foreign currency transactions and translation Transactions denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are translated into the entity’s functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the reporting date. Exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized in net income for the period. The net foreign currency transaction loss included in operating income from continuing operations during Fiscal 2021 was $7.1 million, compared to a loss of $7.7 million in Fiscal 2020 and a loss of $1.7 million in Fiscal 2019. We also recognized net financing-related foreign currency transaction losses within other expenses (income) of $7.6 million during Fiscal 2021, compared to a gain of $5.3 million in Fiscal 2020 and a gain of $0.8 million in Fiscal 2019. On consolidation, the results of operations of entities whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period and their assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences are recognized within other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a separate component of accumulated OCI. In the event that a foreign operation is sold, or substantially liquidated, the cumulative currency translation differences that are attributable to the operation are reclassified to net income. In the statement of cash flows, the cash flows of operations whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. E. Net sales Gates derives its net sales primarily from the sale of a wide range of power transmission and fluid power products and components for a large variety of industrial and automotive applications, both in the aftermarket and first-fit channels, throughout the world. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We apply the five-step model under Topic 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”) to all contracts. The five steps are: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. In most of our agreements with customers, we consider accepted customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to represent the contracts with our customers. Revenue from the sale of goods under these contracts is measured at the invoiced amount, net of estimated returns, early settlement discounts and rebates. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenues. Where a customer has the right to return goods, future returns are estimated based on historical returns profiles. Settlement discounts that may apply to unpaid invoices are estimated based on the settlement histories of the relevant customers. Our transaction prices often include variable consideration, usually in the form of discounts and rebates that may apply to issued invoices. The reduction in the transaction price for variable consideration requires that we make estimations of the expected total qualifying sales to the relevant customers. These estimates, including an analysis for potential constraint on variable consideration, take into account factors such as the nature of the rebate program, historical information and expectations of customer and consumer behavior. Overall, the transaction price is reduced to reflect our estimate of the consideration that is not probable of significant reversal. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the accepted purchase order is considered to be the standalone selling price. In substantially all of our contracts with customers, our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, rather than over a period of time, when control of the product is transferred to the customer. This occurs typically at shipment. In determining whether control has transferred and the customer is consequently able to control the use of the product for their own benefit, we consider if there is a present right to payment, legal title and physical possession has been transferred, whether the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, and if acceptance of the asset by the customer is more than perfunctory. F. Selling, general and administrative expenses Shipping and handling costs Costs of outbound shipping and handling are included in SG&A. During Fiscal 2021, we recognized shipping and handling costs of $170.1 million, compared to $137.2 million in Fiscal 2020 and $145.2 million in Fiscal 2019. Research and development costs Research and development costs are charged to net income in the period in which they are incurred. Our research and development expense was $70.7 million in Fiscal 2021, compared to $67.2 million in Fiscal 2020 and $67.9 million in Fiscal 2019. These costs related primarily to product development and also to technology to enhance manufacturing processes. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A. During Fiscal 2021, we recognized advertising costs of $12.0 million, compared to $6.7 million in Fiscal 2020 and $10.2 million in Fiscal 2019. G. Restructuring expenses Restructuring expenses are incurred in major projects undertaken to rationalize and improve our cost competitiveness. Restructuring expenses incurred during the periods presented are analyzed in note 5. Liabilities in respect of termination benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement are recognized over the future service period when those employees are required to render services to the entity beyond the minimum retention period. If employees are not required to render service until they are terminated or if they will not be retained to render service beyond 60 days or a longer legal notification period, the liability is recognized on the communication date. Termination benefits that are covered by a contract or an ongoing benefit arrangement are recognized when it is probable that employees will be entitled to benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Benefits that are offered for a short period of time in exchange for voluntary termination are recognized when the employees accept the offer. Restructuring expenses other than termination benefits and lease exit costs are recognized only when the Company has incurred a related liability. H. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. A valuation adjustment is made to inventory for any excess, obsolete or slow-moving items based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage profiles. Any consequent write-down of inventory results in a new cost basis for inventory. Cost represents the expenditure incurred in bringing inventories to their existing location and condition, which may include the cost of raw materials, direct labor costs, other direct costs and related production overheads. Cost is generally determined on a first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis, but the cost of certain inventories is determined on a last in, first out (“LIFO”) basis. As of January 1, 2022, inventories whose cost was determined on a LIFO basis represented 31.2% of the total carrying amount of inventories compared to 30.8% as of January 2, 2021. Inventories would have been $9.3 million and $0 million higher than reported as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively, had all inventories been valued on a FIFO basis, which approximates current cost. I. Goodwill Goodwill arising in a business combination is allocated to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Where goodwill is attributable to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill is determined by allocating the purchase consideration in proportion to their respective business enterprise values and comparing the allocated purchase consideration with the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and is carried at cost less any recognized impairment. For both reporting units, which are also our reportable segments, the fair values exceeded the carrying values and no goodwill impairments were therefore recognized during Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 or Fiscal 2019. To identify a potential impairment of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is allocated is compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. We calculate fair values using a weighted blend of income and market approaches. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the fair value is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. J. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment. (i) Assets acquired in business combinations An acquired intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized on a straight-line basis so as to charge its cost, which represents its fair value at the date of acquisition, to net income over the Company’s expectation of its useful life, as follows: Customer relationships 15 to 17 years Technology 5 to 7 years Acquired brands and trade names are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment and are carried at cost less any recognized impairment. (ii) Computer software Computer software that is not integral to an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized separately as an intangible asset. Computer software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which ranges from 2 to 6 years. K. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment losses. Major improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance that do not significantly extend the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Land and assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than land and assets under construction, is generally expensed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company’s estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment are generally in the following ranges: Buildings and improvements 30 to 40 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life Machinery, equipment and vehicles 2 to 20 years L. Leases Gates has a large number of leases covering a wide variety of tangible assets that are used in our operations across the world. The value of our global leases is concentrated in a relatively small number of real estate leases, which accounted for approximately 92% of the lease liability under non-cancellable leases as of January 1, 2022. The remaining leases are predominantly comprised of equipment and vehicle leases. In determining the impact of renewal options on the lease term, we consider various economic factors, including real estate strategies, the nature, length and underlying terms of the agreement, as well as the uncertainty of the condition of leased equipment at the end of the lease term. Certain payments under our lease agreements, such as property taxes and utility costs, are excluded from the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and are recognized instead as variable payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. A number of our leases, particularly real estate leases, include base rent escalation clauses. The majority of these are based on the change in a local consumer price or similar inflation index. Payments that vary based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the rate as of the commencement date with any subsequent changes to those payments being recognized as variable payments in the period in which they occur. Gates does not have any significant leases containing residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. Additionally, as of January 1, 2022, there were no significant new leases that have not yet commenced. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the future minimum lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease, when readily available. As most of our leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, we discount the future minimum lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate which represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. We determine this rate at a country or lower level and take into account factors including currency, country risk premium, industry risk and adjustments for collateralized debt. Appropriate yield curves are used to derive different debt tenors to approximate the applicable lease term. The discount rate is reassessed when there is a remeasurement of the lease liability, which happens predominantly when there is a contract modification and that modification does not result in a separate contract. We have adopted the following practical expedients: (i) we will not separate the lease component from the non-lease component for all asset classes. We have therefore not allocated consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components; and (ii) we recognize the payments on short-term leases (leases with terms at inception of 12 months or fewer) in net income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. No amount is recognized on the balance sheet with respect to these leases. M. Financial instruments (i) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits available on demand and other short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities on acquisition of 90 days or less. We have cash concentrations in certain large, highly-rated global financial institutions. Management closely monitors the credit quality of the institutions in which it holds deposits. (ii) Restricted cash Restricted cash, which is included in the prepaid expenses and other assets line in the consolidated balance sheet, includes cash given as collateral under letters of credit for insurance and regulatory purposes. Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows includes restricted cash of $2.7 million as of January 1, 2022, compared to $2.7 million and $1.3 million as of January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, respectively. (iii) Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable represent the amount of sales of goods to customers, net of discounts and rebates, for which payment has not been received, less an allowance for expected credit losses. Our businesses develop their expected loss estimates based either on the aging profile of outstanding receivables or by applying an experience factor (either a percentage of sales or a percentage of open receivables). These methodologies are based primarily on historical trends and experience, but credit controllers also regularly assess individual customer accounts to identify any potential increases or decreases in the level of expected credit loss needed to be applied to each customer based on current circumstances and future expectations. Before accepting a new customer, we assess their credit quality and establish a credit limit. Credit quality is assessed by using data maintained by reputable credit rating agencies, by checking of references included in credit applications and, where they are available, by reviewing the customer’s recent financial statements. Credit limits are subject to multiple levels of authorization and are reviewed on a regular basis. Although Gates has a wide variety of customers from multinational original equipment manufacturers and distributors to small family-owned businesses, the majority of our sales are generated from large companies with low credit risk. Global developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our customers’ ability to pay us continue to be closely monitored and taken into account in the determination of our expected credit loss estimates. Movements in our allowance for expected credit losses during the periods presented are analyzed in note 22. During 2021, the Company implemented a program with an unrelated third party under which we may periodically sell trade accounts receivable from one of our aftermarket customers with whom we have extended payment terms as part of a commercial agreement. The purpose of using this program is to generally offset the working capital impact resulting from this terms extension. All eligible accounts receivable from this customer are covered by the program, and any factoring is solely at our option. Following the factoring of a qualifying receivable, because we maintain no continuing involvement in the underlying receivable, and collectability risk is fully transferred to the unrelated third party, we account for these transactions as a sale of a financial asset and derecognize the asset. Cash received under the program is classified as operating cash inflows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As of January 1, 2022, the collection of $106.9 million of our trade accounts receivable had been accelerated under this program. During Fiscal 2021, we incurred costs in respect of this program of $1.4 million, which are recorded under other expenses (income). (iv) Debt Debt is initially measured at its principal amount, net of directly attributable transaction costs, if any, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. (v) Accounts payable Accounts payable represents the amount of invoices received from suppliers for purchases of goods and services and the amount of goods received but not invoiced, for which payment has not been made. (vi) Derivative financial instruments We use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts, interest rate caps (options) and interest rate swaps, to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes and monitor closely the credit quality of the institutions with which we transact. We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet date. The accounting for the change in the fair value is recognized in net income based on the nature of the items being hedged unless the financial instrument has been designated in an effective cash flow or net investment hedging relationship, in which case the change in fair value is recognized in OCI. (vii) Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value, or for which fair values are presented in these consolidated financial statements, have been categorized into one of three levels to reflect the degree to which observable inputs are used in determining the fair values. Where a change in the determination of the fair value of a financial asset or liability results in a transfer between the levels of the fair value hierarchy, we recognize that transfer at the end of the reporting period. N. Post-retirement benefits Post-retirement benefits comprise pension benefits provided to employees and other benefits, mainly healthcare, provided to certain employees in North America. We account for our post-retirement benefit plans in accordance with Topic 715 “ Compensation – Retirement Benefits ”, which is based on the principle that the cost of providing these benefits is recognized in net income over the service periods of the participating employees. For defined benefit plans, the net obligation or surplus arising from providing the benefits is recognized as a liability or an asset determined by actuarial valuations of each of the plans that are carried out annually by independent qualified actuaries as of the year end balance sheet date. Benefit obligations are measured using the projected unit credit method. Plan assets (if any) are measured at fair value. We recognize the service cost component of our net periodic pension and other post-retirement benefit cost in the lines within operating income to which the relevant employees' other compensation costs are reported. All other components of the net periodic benefit cost (which include the interest cost, the expected return on plan assets, gains or losses on settlements and curtailments, the amortization of prior year service cost or credit and prior year actuarial gains and losses) are included in the other (expenses) income line, outside of operating income from continuing operations. Actuarial gains and losses represent differences between the expected and actual returns on the plan assets, gains and losses on the plan liabilities and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions. We use the “corridor approach” whereby, to the extent that cumulative actuarial gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the market related value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the fiscal year, they are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income over the average remaining service periods of participating employees. Gains and losses on settlements and curtailments are recognized in net income in the period in which the curtailment or settlement occurs. O. Share-based compensation Share-based compensation has historically been provided to certain of our employees under share option, bonus and other share award plans. All share-award plans are equity settled, except for certain awards issued in the form of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to employees in China, where local regulations necessitate a cash-settled award. These awards are therefore accounted for as liabilities rather than equity. We recognize compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards, measured using either the share price on the date of grant, a Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte-Carlo valuation model, depending on the nature of the award. Fair value is determined at the date of grant and reflects market and performance conditions and all non-vesting conditions. Generally, the compensation expense for each separately vesting portion of the award is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for that portion of the award. Compensation expense is recognized for awards containing market conditions regardless of whether or not the market condition is met, whereas compensation expense for awards containing performance conditions is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that those performance conditions will be met. Adjustments are made to reflect expected and actual forfeitures during the vesting period due to failure to satisfy service conditions or performance conditions. For equity awards, fair value is not subsequently remeasured unless the conditions on which the award was granted are modified. An amount corresponding to the compensation expense for equity awards is recognized in equity as additional paid in capital. For liability awards, the fair value is remeasured each period and the change in fair value is recognized in net income for the period with a corresponding change in the outstanding liability. P. Income taxes Current tax is the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable income for the period. Taxable income differs from financial reporting income because it excludes items of income or expense recognized for financial reporting purposes that are either not taxable or deductible for tax purposes or are taxable or deductible in other periods. Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Management assesses unrecognized tax benefits based upon an evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the balance sheet date. Provision is made for unrecognized tax benefits to the extent that the amounts previously taken or expected to be taken in tax returns exceeds the tax benefits that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the tax positions. A tax benefit is recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if management considers that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant tax authority solely on the technical merits of the position and is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement assuming that the tax authority has full knowledge of all relevant information. Provisions for unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed regularly and are adjusted to reflect events such as the expiration of limitation periods for assessing tax, guidance given by the tax authorities and court decisions. Interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits are accrued in accordance with the applicable tax legislation on any excess of the tax benefit claimed or expected to be claimed in a tax return and the tax benefit recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Interest and penalties are recognized as a component of income tax benefit (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations and accrued interest and penalties are included under the related taxes payable line in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences of the difference between the financial statement carrying amount and the respective tax basis. Deferred taxes are measured on the enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income at the time the difference is anticipated to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced through the establishment of a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized taking into account the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax is provided on taxable temporary differences arising on investments in foreign subsidiaries, except where we intend, and are able, to reinvest such amounts on a permanent basis or to remit such amounts in a tax-free manner. Q. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates concerning the future that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are particularly important in accounting for items such as the timing and amount of revenue recognition, rebates, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, inventory valuation, financial instruments, expected credit losses, product warranties, income taxes and post-retirement benefits. Estimates and assumptions used are based on factors such as historical experience, observance of trends in the industries in which we operate and information available from our customers and other outside sources. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and estimates, events and changes in circumstances arising after January 1, 2022, including those resulting from the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in actual outcomes that differ from those contemplated by our assumptions and estimates.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted	Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted The following recent accounting pronouncements are relevant to Gates’ operations but have not yet been adopted: • ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance” In November 2021, FASB issued this ASU to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (i) the types of assistance, (ii) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (iii) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. This update requires certain annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy, including (i) information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for them, (ii) the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each line item, and (iii) significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. The amendments are effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted. We do not expect significant impact on our consolidated financial statements on adoption of this ASU.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment information	Segment information A. Background The segment information provided in these consolidated financial statements reflects the information that is used by the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and in assessing the performance of each segment. The chief executive officer (“CEO”) of Gates serves as the chief operating decision maker. These decisions are based principally on net sales and Adjusted EBITDA (defined below). B. Operating segments and segment assets Gates manufactures a wide range of power transmission and fluid power products and components for a large variety of industrial and automotive applications, both in the aftermarket and first-fit channels, throughout the world. Our reportable segments are identified on the basis of our primary product lines, as this is the basis on which information is provided to the CEO for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing the performance of Gates’ businesses. Our operating and reporting segments are therefore Power Transmission and Fluid Power. Segment asset information is not provided to the chief operating decision maker and therefore segment asset information has not been presented. Due to the nature of Gates’ operations, cash generation and profitability are viewed as the key measures rather than an asset-based measure. C. Segment net sales and disaggregated net sales Sales between reporting segments and the impact of such sales on Adjusted EBITDA for each segment are not included in internal reports presented to the CEO and have therefore not been included below. For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Power Transmission $ 2,216.3 $ 1,800.2 $ 1,945.7 Fluid Power 1,258.1 992.8 1,141.4 Net sales $ 3,474.4 $ 2,793.0 $ 3,087.1 Our commercial function is organized by region and therefore, in addition to reviewing net sales by our reporting segments, the CEO also reviews net sales information disaggregated by region, including between emerging and developed markets. The following table summarizes our net sales by key geographic region of origin: For the year ended January 1, 2022 January 2, 2021 December 28, 2019 (dollars in millions) Power Transmission Fluid Power Power Transmission Fluid Power Power Transmission Fluid Power U.S. $ 621.8 $ 615.5 $ 538.3 $ 513.9 $ 580.4 $ 590.0 North America, excluding U.S. 179.8 193.8 147.3 146.9 165.3 175.9 United Kingdom (“U.K.”) 50.2 58.3 44.3 28.2 43.6 37.3 EMEA (1) , excluding U.K. 640.6 198.8 487.4 151.0 509.9 173.6 East Asia and India 308.6 86.3 251.8 60.5 288.6 74.3 Greater China 344.2 67.8 279.5 66.9 288.4 57.8 South America 71.1 37.6 51.6 25.4 69.5 32.5 Net sales $ 2,216.3 $ 1,258.1 $ 1,800.2 $ 992.8 $ 1,945.7 $ 1,141.4 (1) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”). The following table summarizes our net sales into emerging and developed markets: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Developed $ 2,214.6 $ 1,787.8 $ 2,013.4 Emerging 1,259.8 1,005.2 1,073.7 Net sales $ 3,474.4 $ 2,793.0 $ 3,087.1 D. Measure of segment profit or loss The CEO uses Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, to measure the profitability of each segment. Adjusted EBITDA is, therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented in Gates’ segment disclosures. “EBITDA” represents net income for the period before net interest and other (income) expenses, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” represents EBITDA before certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses. During the periods presented, the items excluded from EBITDA in computing Adjusted EBITDA primarily included: • non-cash charges in relation to share-based compensation; • transaction-related expenses incurred in relation to major corporate transactions, including the acquisition of businesses, and equity and debt transactions; • impairments of assets; • restructuring expenses, including severance-related expenses; and • fees paid to our private equity sponsor for monitoring, advisory and consulting services. Adjusted EBITDA by segment was as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Power Transmission $ 500.6 $ 353.0 $ 412.6 Fluid Power 235.2 153.6 198.4 Adjusted EBITDA $ 735.8 $ 506.6 $ 611.0 Reconciliation of net income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Net income from continuing operations $ 331.3 $ 90.3 $ 694.7 Income tax expense (benefit) 18.4 (19.3) (495.9) Income from continuing operations before taxes 349.7 71.0 198.8 Interest expense 133.5 154.3 157.8 Other expenses (income) 0.9 (14.2) (9.8) Operating income from continuing operations 484.1 211.1 346.8 Depreciation and amortization 222.6 218.6 222.2 Transaction-related expenses (1) 3.7 5.2 2.6 Asset impairments 0.6 5.2 0.7 Restructuring expenses 7.4 37.3 6.0 Share-based compensation expense 24.6 19.8 15.0 Sponsor fees (included in other operating expense) — 1.9 6.5 Inventory impairments (included in cost of sales) 1.4 1.4 1.2 Severance expenses (included in cost of sales) — 1.0 4.0 Severance expenses (included in SG&A) 0.7 8.0 3.4 Other items not directly related to current operations (2) (9.3) (2.9) 2.6 Adjusted EBITDA $ 735.8 $ 506.6 $ 611.0 (1) Transaction-related expenses relate primarily to advisory fees and other costs recognized in respect of major corporate transactions, including the acquisition of businesses, and equity and debt transactions. (2) During Fiscal 2021, we realized a net gain of $9.3 million related to the sale of a purchase option on a building that we lease in Europe. E. Selected geographic information (dollars in millions) As of January 1, As of January 2, Property, plant and equipment, net by geographic location U.S. $ 172.9 $ 184.4 Rest of North America 127.1 121.5 U.K. 32.8 31.8 Rest of EMEA 151.3 161.4 East Asia and India 45.7 54.9 Greater China 124.8 134.9 South America 15.7 16.1 $ 670.3 $ 705.0 F. Information about major customers Gates has a significant concentration of sales in the U.S., which accounted for 36.3% of Gates’ net sales by destination from continuing operations during Fiscal 2021, compared to 39.0% during Fiscal 2020 and 43.2% during Fiscal 2019. During Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of Gates’ net sales. Two customers of our North America businesses accounted for 13.9% and 10.0%, respectively, of our total trade accounts receivable balance as of January 1, 2022, compared to 11.9% and 16.5%, respectively, as of January 2, 2021. These concentrations are due to the extended payment terms common in the industry in which these businesses operate.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and other strategic initiatives	Restructuring and other strategic initiatives Gates continues to undertake various restructuring and other strategic initiatives to drive increased productivity in all aspects of our operations. These actions include efforts to consolidate our manufacturing and distribution footprint, scale operations to current demand levels, streamline our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) back-office functions and relocate certain operations to lower cost locations. Overall costs associated with our restructuring and other strategic initiatives have been recognized in the consolidated statements as set forth below. Expenses incurred in relation to certain of these actions qualify as restructuring expenses under U.S. GAAP. For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, 2022 January 2, 2021 December 28, 2019 Restructuring expenses: —Severance expenses $ 0.7 $ 24.0 $ 4.7 —Non-severance labor and benefit expenses 2.5 3.8 — —Consulting expenses 2.2 2.1 1.6 —Other net restructuring expenses 2.0 7.4 (0.3) 7.4 37.3 6.0 Restructuring expenses in asset impairments: —Impairment of fixed assets 0.6 5.2 0.7 Restructuring expenses in cost of sales: —Impairment of inventory 1.4 1.4 1.2 Total restructuring expenses $ 9.4 $ 43.9 $ 7.9 Expenses related to other strategic initiatives: —Severance expenses included in cost of sales $ — $ 1.0 $ 4.0 —Severance - related expenses included in SG&A 0.7 8.0 3.4 Total expenses related to other strategic initiatives $ 0.7 $ 9.0 $ 7.4 Restructuring and other strategic initiatives during Fiscal 2021 included $3.4 million of primarily severance and other labor-related expenses related principally to our European reorganization involving office and distribution center closures or downsizings and the implementation of a regional shared service center, and $3.7 million of additional costs related to the closure in 2020 of a manufacturing facility in Korea, including impairment of fixed assets of $0.6 million. Also during Fiscal 2021, we incurred $1.4 million of inventory impairments, predominantly in North America as part of a strategic product line shift, and we recognized $1.0 million of expenses related to the consolidation of certain of our Middle East businesses. Partially offsetting these costs were gains of $3.1 million on the disposal of buildings in Korea and France that were no longer needed following the completion of certain restructuring initiatives. Expenses incurred in connection with our restructuring and other strategic initiatives during the year ended January 2, 2021 related primarily to the closure of a manufacturing facility in Korea, our European reorganization involving office and distribution center closures or downsizings and implementation of a regional shared service center, the closure of two North American manufacturing facilities, in addition to reductions in workforce, primarily in EMEA and North America. The closure of the Korean facility resulted in an accrual for severance and other labor costs of $13.2 million, an impairment of inventory of $1.4 million (recognized in cost of sales) and an impairment of fixed assets of $4.8 million (included in asset impairments). Restructuring costs related to our European reorganization were $12.6 million, of which $11.4 million related to estimated severance. Restructuring activities As indicated above, restructuring expenses, as defined under U.S. GAAP, form a subset of our total expenses related to restructuring and other strategic initiatives. These expenses include the impairment of inventory, which is recognized in cost of sales. Analyzed by segment, our restructuring expenses were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Power Transmission $ 5.6 $ 32.6 $ 3.5 Fluid Power 3.8 11.3 4.4 Continuing operations $ 9.4 $ 43.9 $ 7.9 The following summarizes the reserve for restructuring expenses for the year ended January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, Balance as of the beginning of the period $ 17.9 $ 2.9 Utilized during the period (18.0) (23.4) Charge for the period 8.0 37.7 Released during the period (0.6) (0.4) Foreign currency translation (0.8) 1.1 Balance as of the end of the period $ 6.5 $ 17.9 Restructuring reserves, which are expected to be utilized during 2022, are included in the consolidated balance sheet within the accrued expenses and other current liabilities line.

Also, Fiscal 2020 includes the impact of nondeductible transaction-related expenses, and Fiscal 2019 includes $608.6 million for the generation of finite-lived net operating losses in Luxembourg. (2) “Manufacturing incentives” for Fiscal 2019 includes an adjustment of $5.0 million for the expiration of manufacturing incentives in the Czech Republic, offset partially by $4.1 million of incentives generated during the year. (3) “Change in valuation allowance” is comprised primarily of: For the year ended Expense (benefit) January 1, January 2, December 28, Luxembourg finite-lived net operating losses $ 129.9 $ — $ 608.6 Luxembourg indefinite-lived net operating losses $ — $ — $ (579.0) U.S. foreign tax credits $ (53.4) $ 5.4 $ — Disallowed interest carryforwards $ — $ (11.7) $ 42.9 Rate change $ 48.3 $ — $ (36.4) Significant Events CARES Act On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted and signed into law in the U.S. in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the provisions of this law is an increase to the allowable business interest deduction from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% of adjusted taxable income for the 2019 and 2020 tax years. This modification significantly increased the current deductible interest expense of the Company for both years, which resulted in a cash benefit while increasing our effective tax rate through requirements to allocate and apportion interest expense for certain other tax purposes, including in determining our global intangible low-taxed income inclusion, deduction for foreign derived intangible income, and the utilization of foreign tax credits. Deferred income tax assets (liabilities) Deferred income tax assets (liabilities) recognized by the Company were as follows: (dollars in millions) As of January 1, 2022 As of January 2, 2021 Deferred income tax assets: Accounts receivable $ 3.8 $ 3.3 Inventories — 8.0 Property, plant and equipment — 8.6 Lease liabilities 37.2 36.8 Accrued expenses 36.2 39.8 Post-retirement benefit obligations 4.9 30.1 Compensation 19.9 19.3 Net operating losses 1,629.4 1,540.7 Capital losses 200.8 151.9 Credits 117.1 147.9 Interest 140.2 122.1 Other items 4.4 14.2 $ 2,193.9 $ 2,122.7 Valuation allowances (1,349.1) (1,219.9) Total deferred income tax assets $ 844.8 $ 902.8 Deferred income tax liabilities: Inventories $ (16.6) $ (22.1) Property, plant and equipment (37.8) (54.8) Lease right-of-use assets (31.3) (30.3) Intangible assets (382.5) (428.3) Post-retirement benefit obligations — (12.9) Undistributed earnings (21.0) (40.6) Other items — (1.6) Total deferred income tax liabilities $ (489.2) $ (590.6) Net deferred income tax assets $ 355.6 $ 312.2 As of January 1, 2022, the Company had the following loss and credit carryforward amounts: • Gates had U.S. federal, U.K. and foreign operating tax losses amounting to $6,504.7 million and U.S. state operating tax losses amounting to $147.9 million. Operating losses of $3,331.4 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $3,321.2 million have expiration dates between 2021 and 2040. We recognized a related deferred income tax asset of $603.4 million after valuation allowance of $1,026.0 million; • Gates had U.S. federal and U.K. capital tax losses amounting to $805.2 million, of which $791.8 million can be carried forward indefinitely and $13.4 million expire in 2026. We recognized no related deferred income tax asset after valuation allowance of $200.8 million; • Gates had U.S. federal, Luxembourg, Belgium and U.K. interest expense deductions which can be carried forward amounting to $570.8 million. Interest expense carried forward can be carried forward indefinitely. We recognized a related deferred tax asset of $114.0 million after valuation allowance of $26.2 million; and • Gates had U.S. federal foreign tax credits amounting to $117.1 million, which expire between 2022 and 2027. We recognized a related deferred income tax asset of $25.4 million after valuation allowance of $91.7 million. As of January 1, 2022, income and withholding taxes in the various tax jurisdictions in which Gates operates have not been provided on approximately $1,621.6 million of taxable temporary differences related to the investments in the Company’s subsidiaries. These temporary differences represent the estimated excess of the financial reporting over the tax basis in our investments in those subsidiaries, which are primarily the result of purchase accounting adjustments. These temporary differences are not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future but could become subject to income and withholding taxes in the various tax jurisdictions in which Gates operates if they were to reverse. The amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability on these taxable temporary differences has not been determined because the hypothetical calculation is not practicable due to the uncertainty as to how they may reverse. However, Gates has recognized a deferred income tax liability of $21.0 million on taxable temporary differences related to undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries. Recoverability of Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences arising from differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities under U.S. GAAP and their respective tax bases, and for net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, weighing all positive and negative evidence, and are required to establish or maintain a valuation allowance for these assets if we determine that it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of each reporting date, we consider new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact our view with regard to the future realization of deferred tax assets. We will maintain our positions with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets, including those with respect to which we continue maintaining valuation allowances, until there is sufficient new evidence to support a change in expectations. Such a change in expectations could arise due to many factors, including those impacting our forecasts of future earnings, as well as changes in the international tax laws under which we operate and tax planning. It is not reasonably possible to forecast any such changes at the present time, but it is possible that, should they arise, our view of their effect on the future realization of deferred tax assets may impact materially our financial statements. After weighing all of the evidence, giving more weight to the evidence that was objectively verifiable, we determined in Fiscal 2021 that it was more likely than not that deferred income tax assets in the U.S. related to foreign tax credits totaling $53.4 million are realizable as a result of changes in estimates of taxable profits against which these credits can be utilized. Similarly, we determined that it was more likely than not that deferred income tax assets in Fiscal 2020 primarily related to disallowed interest carryforwards in the U.K., Luxembourg, and Belgium totaling $29.5 million and Fiscal 2019 primarily related to indefinite-lived net operating losses in Luxembourg totaling $586.2 million were realizable. In Fiscal 2020, the deferred tax assets above include $26.0 million of assets which have no expiration in these jurisdictions. As a result of changes in estimates of future taxable profits in the third quarter of Fiscal 2020, due primarily to anticipated changes to the composition of our intercompany financing arrangements related to proposed international tax law changes, our judgment changed regarding valuation allowances on these deferred tax assets. Included within the $586.2 million of valuation allowances released in Fiscal 2019 are deferred income tax assets totaling $579.0 million related to €2.1 billion of indefinite-lived net operating losses in Luxembourg for which our evaluation of the positive and negative evidence changed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2019 due to the implementation of our European corporate center. Our European corporate center was implemented in Fiscal 2019 to centralize and strengthen regional operations in Europe, which thereafter became centrally managed from Luxembourg. Unrecognized income tax benefits The following is a reconciliation of the gross beginning and ending amount of unrecognized income tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, At the beginning of the period $ 121.6 $ 147.3 $ 80.1 Increases for tax positions related to the current period 6.7 6.9 70.6 Increases for tax positions related to prior periods 0.7 0.5 5.8 Decreases for tax positions related to prior periods (12.1) (18.9) (2.1) Decreases related to settlements — (14.0) — Decreases due to lapsed statute of limitations (7.2) (5.8) (8.1) Foreign currency translation (5.1) 5.6 1.0 At the end of the period $ 104.6 $ 121.6 $ 147.3 Unrecognized income tax benefits represent the difference between the income tax benefits that we are able to recognize for financial reporting purposes and the income tax benefits that we have recognized or expect to recognize in filed tax returns. Such amounts represent a reasonable provision for income taxes ultimately expected to be paid and may need to be adjusted over time as more information becomes known. If all unrecognized income tax benefits were recognized, the net impact on the provision for income taxes which would impact the annual effective tax rate would be $93.5 million, including all competent authority offsets. As of January 1, 2022, January 2, 2021, and December 28, 2019, Gates had accrued $14.0 million, $12.3 million, and $19.6 million, respectively, for the payment of worldwide interest and penalties on unrecognized income tax benefits, which are not included in the table above. Gates recognizes interest and penalties relating to unrecognized income tax benefits in the provision for income tax expense. The primary driver of the reduction in unrecognized income tax benefits during the year relates to a change in underlying facts and lapses in statute of limitations. We believe that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to $9.8 million in unrecognized income tax benefits will occur in the next 12 months as a result of the expiration of the statutes of limitations in multiple jurisdictions and the settlement of audits in Germany and India. As of January 1, 2022, Gates remains subject to examination in the US for tax years 2016 and 2018 to 2020 and in other major jurisdictions for tax years 2008 to 2020.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	Earnings per share Basic earnings per share represents net income attributable to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive effect of potential shares, unless the inclusion of the potential shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The treasury stock method is used to determine the potential dilutive shares resulting from assumed exercises of equity-related instruments. The computation of earnings per share is presented below: For the year ended (dollars in millions, except share numbers and per share amounts) January 1, January 2, December 28, Net income attributable to shareholders $ 297.1 $ 79.4 $ 690.1 Weighted average number of shares outstanding 291,623,523 290,681,615 290,057,360 Dilutive effect of share-based awards 5,670,552 1,434,349 1,570,101 Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding 297,294,075 292,115,964 291,627,461 Number of anti-dilutive shares excluded from diluted earnings per share calculation 3,981,424 5,257,654 3,679,014 Basic earnings per share $ 1.02 $ 0.27 $ 2.38 Diluted earnings per share $ 1.00 $ 0.27 $ 2.37

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative financial instruments	Derivative financial instruments We are exposed to certain financial risks relating to our ongoing business operations. From time to time, we use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts, interest rate caps (options) and interest rate swaps, to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes and monitor closely the credit quality of the institutions with which we transact. We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. We designate certain of our currency swaps as net investment hedges and designate our interest rate caps and interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The gain or loss on the designated derivative instrument is recognized in OCI and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Derivative instruments that have not been designated in an effective hedging relationship are considered economic hedges, and their change in fair value is recognized in net income in each period. The period end fair values of derivative financial instruments were as follows: As of January 1, 2022 As of January 2, 2021 (dollars in millions) Prepaid expenses and other assets Other Accrued expenses and other Other Net Prepaid expenses and other assets Other Accrued expenses and other Other Net Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: —Currency swaps $ — $ — $ (19.8) $ — $ (19.8) $ 1.1 $ — $ — $ (42.6) $ (41.5) —Interest rate caps — — (1.3) (0.5) (1.8) — — (1.4) (2.0) (3.4) —Interest rate swaps — 7.7 (12.9) (26.9) (32.1) — — (13.4) (43.6) (57.0) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: —Currency swaps — — — — — — — — — — —Currency forward contracts 2.9 — (0.6) — 2.3 0.6 — (1.9) — (1.3) $ 2.9 $ 7.7 $ (34.6) $ (27.4) $ (51.4) $ 1.7 $ — $ (16.7) $ (88.2) $ (103.2) A. Instruments designated as net investment hedges We hold cross currency swaps that have been designated as net investment hedges of certain of our European operations. As of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, the notional principal amount of these contracts was $270.0 million and they mature in March 2022. In addition, as of both January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, we had designated €147.0 million of our Euro-denominated debt as a net investment hedge of certain of our European operations. The fair value gains (losses) before tax recognized in OCI in relation to the instruments designated as net investment hedging instruments were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Net fair value gains (losses) recognized in OCI in relation to: —Euro-denominated debt $ 12.4 $ (15.5) $ (0.2) —Designated cross currency swaps 21.4 (26.3) 5.7 Total net fair value gains (losses) $ 33.8 $ (41.8) $ 5.5 During Fiscal 2021, a net gain of $1.8 million was recognized in interest expense in relation to our cross currency swaps that have been designated as net investment hedges, compared to a net gain of $3.7 million and $7.8 million during Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively. B. Instruments designated as cash flow hedges We use interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. These instruments are all designated as cash flow hedges. As of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, we held pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $870.0 million which run from June 30, 2020 through June 30, 2025. Our interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable rate payments from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for a premium. As of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, the notional amount of our interest rate caps outstanding was €425.0 million, covering the period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2023. The movements before tax recognized in OCI in relation to our cash flow hedges were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Movement recognized in OCI in relation to: —Fair value gain (loss) on cash flow hedges $ 11.7 $ (29.1) $ (31.7) —Amortization to net income of prior period fair value losses 17.9 9.1 — —Reclassification from OCI to net income 3.7 3.6 2.5 Total movement $ 33.3 $ (16.4) $ (29.2) As of January 1, 2022, we expect to reclassify an estimated $22.8 million of losses in OCI to earnings within the next twelve months associated with cash flow hedges along with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. C. Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments We do not designate our currency forward contracts, which are used primarily in respect of operational currency exposures related to payables, receivables and material procurement, or the currency swap contracts that are used to manage the currency profile of Gates’ cash as hedging instruments for the purposes of hedge accounting. As of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, there were no outstanding currency swaps. As of January 1, 2022, the notional amount of outstanding currency forward contracts that are used to manage operational foreign exchange exposures was $171.9 million, compared to $87.6 million as of January 2, 2021. The fair value gains (losses) recognized in net income in relation to derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedging instruments were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Fair value gains (losses) recognized in relation to: —Currency forward contracts recognized in SG&A $ 5.1 $ (1.9) $ 3.0 —Currency swaps recognized in other expenses — 0.4 0.6 Total $ 5.1 $ (1.5) $ 3.6

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair value measurement	Fair value measurement A. Fair value hierarchy We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Topic 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” establishes the following hierarchy for the inputs that are used in fair value measurement: • “Level 1” inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • “Level 2” inputs are those other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and • “Level 3” inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are categorized in one of the three levels on the basis of the lowest-level input that is significant to its valuation. B. Financial instruments not held at fair value Certain financial assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value; however, items such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, revolving credit facilities and bank overdrafts generally attract interest at floating rates and accordingly their carrying amounts are considered to approximate fair value. Due to their short maturities, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable are also considered to approximate their fair values. The carrying amount and fair value of our debt are set out below: As of January 1, 2022 As of January 2, 2021 (dollars in millions) Carrying amount Fair value Carrying amount Fair value Current $ 38.1 $ 37.9 $ 42.7 $ 42.3 Non-current 2,526.5 2,553.0 2,666.0 2,700.0 $ 2,564.6 $ 2,590.9 $ 2,708.7 $ 2,742.3 Debt is comprised principally of borrowings under the secured credit facilities and the unsecured senior notes. Loans under the secured credit facilities pay interest at floating rates, subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor on the Dollar Term Loan and a 0% EURIBOR floor on the Euro Term Loan. The fair values of the term loans are derived from a market price, discounted for illiquidity. The unsecured senior notes have fixed interest rates, are traded by “Qualified Institutional Buyers” and certain other eligible investors, and their fair value is derived from their quoted market price. C. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis The following table categorizes the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: (dollars in millions) Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) Significant observable inputs (Level 2) Total As of January 1, 2022 Equity investments $ 0.6 $ — $ 0.6 Derivative assets $ — $ 10.6 $ 10.6 Derivative liabilities $ — $ (62.0) $ (62.0) As of January 2, 2021 Equity investments $ 2.1 $ — $ 2.1 Derivative assets $ — $ 1.7 $ 1.7 Derivative liabilities $ — $ (104.9) $ (104.9) Equity investments represent equity securities that are traded in an active market and therefore are measured using quoted prices in an active market. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 represent foreign currency exchange forward and swap contracts, and interest rate derivative contracts. We value our foreign currency exchange derivatives using models consistent with those used by a market participant that maximize the use of market observable inputs including forward prices for currencies. We value our interest rate derivative contracts using a widely accepted discounted cash flow valuation methodology that reflects the contractual terms of each derivative, including the period to maturity. The methodology derives the fair values of the derivatives using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future cash payments and the discounted expected receipts. The inputs used in the calculation are based on observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy During the periods presented, there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2, and Gates had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. D. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis Gates has non-recurring fair value measurements related to certain assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant, and equipment. No significant impairment was recognized during Fiscal 2021 or Fiscal 2019. During Fiscal 2020, impairments of property, plant and equipment of $5.2 million were recognized in relation to restructuring and other strategic initiatives, primarily the closure of our manufacturing facility in Korea.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt (dollars in millions) As of January 1, As of January 2, Secured debt: —Dollar Term Loan $ 1,363.7 $ 1,377.4 —Euro Term Loan 647.5 775.2 Unsecured debt: —6.25% Dollar Senior Notes due 2026 568.0 568.0 —Other loans — 0.2 Total principal of debt 2,579.2 2,720.8 Deferred issuance costs (31.5) (29.4) Accrued interest 16.9 17.3 Total carrying value of debt 2,564.6 2,708.7 Debt, current portion 38.1 42.7 Debt, less current portion $ 2,526.5 $ 2,666.0 Gates’ secured debt is jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of its subsidiaries and is secured by liens on substantially all of their assets. Gates is subject to covenants, representations and warranties under certain of its debt facilities. During the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements, we were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants. Also under the agreements governing our debt facilities, our ability to engage in activities such as incurring certain additional indebtedness, making certain investments and paying certain dividends is dependent, in part, on our ability to satisfy tests based on measures determined under those agreements. The principal payments due under our financing agreements over the next five years and thereafter are as follows: (dollars in millions) Total Fiscal year: —2022 $ 21.2 —2023 21.3 —2024 642.9 —2025 17.2 —2026 581.8 Thereafter 1,294.8 $ 2,579.2 Debt issuances and redemptions During June 2021, we made a principal debt repayment of €58.7 million ($69.5 million) against our Euro Term Loan facility. As a result of this repayment, we accelerated the recognition of $0.4 million of deferred issuance costs (recognized in interest expense). On December 31, 2020, we made a principal debt repayment of $300.0 million against our Dollar Term Loan facility. As a result of this repayment, we accelerated the recognition of $3.7 million of deferred financing costs (recognized in interest expense). On November 22, 2019, we issued and sold $568.0 million of unsecured Dollar Senior Notes, described further below. The proceeds from this debt issuance were used on December 5, 2019 to redeem all $568.0 million of our outstanding 6.00% Dollar Senior Notes, plus interest accrued up to and including the redemption date of $13.2 million. The majority of the costs totaling approximately $8.6 million related to the refinancing transactions were deferred and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related borrowings using the effective interest method. Dollar and Euro Term Loans Our secured credit facilities include a Dollar Term Loan credit facility and a Euro Term Loan credit facility that were drawn on July 3, 2014. These term loan facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which for U.S. dollar debt can be either a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin, or at our option, LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The Euro Term Loan matures on March 31, 2024. On February 24, 2021, we made amendments to the Dollar Term Loan credit agreement, including extending the maturity date of the Dollar Term Loan, from March 31, 2024 to March 31, 2027, reducing the floor applicable to the Dollar Term Loan from 1.00% to 0.75% and modifying the applicable interest rate margin for the Dollar Term Loan to include a 0.25% reduction if our consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) is less than or equal to 3.75 times. In connection with these amendments, we paid accrued interest up to the date of the amendments of $3.7 million, in addition to fees of $8.6 million, of which $6.9 million qualified for deferral and will be amortized to interest expense over the new remaining term of the Dollar Term Loan using the effective interest method. The Dollar Term Loan interest rate is currently LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus a margin of 2.50%, and as of January 1, 2022, borrowings under this facility bore interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum. This margin reflects the 0.25% reduction described above, as the consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) dropped below 3.75 times during the third quarter of Fiscal 2021. The Dollar Term Loan interest rate is re-set on the last business day of each month. As of January 1, 2022, the Euro Term Loan bore interest at EURIBOR, which is currently below 0%, subject to a floor of 0%, plus a margin of 3.00%. The Euro Term Loan interest rate is re-set on the last business day of each quarter. Both term loans are subject to quarterly amortization payments of 0.25%, based on the original principal amount less certain repayments with the balance payable on maturity. During Fiscal 2021, we made amortization payments against the Dollar Term Loan and the Euro Term Loan of $13.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively. During Fiscal 2020, we made amortization payments against the Dollar Term Loan and the Euro Term Loan of $21.7 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Under the terms of the credit agreement, we are obliged to offer annually to the term loan lenders an “excess cash flow” amount as defined under the agreement, based on the preceding year’s final results. Based on our 2021 results, the leverage ratio as defined under the credit agreement was below the threshold above which payments are required, and therefore no excess cash flow payment is required to be made in 2022. During the periods presented, foreign exchange gains were recognized in respect of the Euro Term Loans as summarized in the table below. As a portion of the facility was designated as a net investment hedge of certain of our Euro investments, a corresponding portion of the foreign exchange gain (loss) were recognized in OCI. For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Gain (loss) recognized in statement of operations $ 38.2 $ (51.4) $ 17.3 Gain (loss) recognized in OCI 12.4 (15.5) (0.2) Total gain (loss) $ 50.6 $ (66.9) $ 17.1 The above net foreign exchange gain (loss) recognized in the other expenses (income) line of the consolidated statement of operations have been substantially offset by net foreign exchange movements on Euro-denominated intercompany loans as part of our overall hedging strategy. A wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Gates Global LLC is the principal obligor under the Term Loans for U.S. federal income tax purposes and makes the payments due on this tranche of debt. As a result, interest received by lenders of this tranche of debt is U.S. source income. Unsecured Senior Notes As of January 1, 2022, we had $568.0 million of Dollar Senior Notes outstanding that were issued in November 2019. These notes are scheduled to mature on January 15, 2026 and bear interest at an annual fixed rate of 6.25% with semi-annual interest payments. On and after January 15, 2022, we may redeem the Dollar Senior Notes, at our option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date: Redemption price During the year commencing: —2022 103.125 % —2023 101.563 % —2024 and thereafter 100.000 % Upon the occurrence of a change of control or a certain qualifying asset sale, the holders of the notes will have the right to require us to make an offer to repurchase each holder's notes at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Revolving credit facility We have a secured revolving credit facility that provides for multi-currency revolving loans. On November 18, 2021, we amended the credit agreement governing this facility to, among other things, increase the size of the facility from $185.0 million to $250.0 million, extend the maturity date from January 29, 2023 to November 18, 2026 (subject to certain springing maturities related to our Euro Term Loan and Unsecured Senior Notes if more than $500.0 million is outstanding in respect of either such facility 91 days prior to their respective maturities), and increase the letter of credit sub-facility from $20.0 million to $75.0 million. In connection with these amendments, we paid fees of $2.0 million, which have been deferred and will, together with existing deferred issuance costs related to this facility, be amortized to interest expense over the new term of the facility on a straight-line basis. As of both January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, there were no drawings for cash under the revolving credit facility and there were no letters of credit outstanding. Debt under the revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate, which can be either a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin or, at our option, LIBOR, plus an applicable margin. Asset-backed revolver We also have a revolving credit facility backed by certain of our assets in North America. On November 18, 2021, we amended the credit agreement governing this facility to, among other things, reduce the maximum facility size from $325.0 million to $250.0 million ($240.4 million as of January 1, 2022, compared to $230.2 million as of January 2, 2021, based on the values of the secured assets on those dates), and extended the maturity date from January 29, 2023 to November 18, 2026 (subject to certain springing maturities related to our Euro Term Loan and Unsecured Senior Notes if more than $500.0 million is outstanding in respect of either such facility 91 days prior to their respective maturities). The facility also allows for a letter of credit sub-facility of $150.0 million within the $250.0 million maximum. In connection with these amendments, we paid fees of $1.3 million, which have been deferred and will, together with existing deferred issuance costs related to this facility, be amortized to interest expense over the new term of the facility on a straight-line basis. As of both January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, there were no drawings for cash under the asset-backed revolver, but there were letters of credit outstanding of $45.3 million and $28.5 million, respectively.

Postemployment Benefits [Abstract]
Post-retirement benefits	Post-retirement benefits A. Defined contribution pension plans Gates provides defined contribution pension benefits in most of the countries in which it operates; in particular, the majority of its employees in the U.S. are entitled to such benefits. During Fiscal 2021, the expense recognized by Gates in respect of defined contribution pension plans was $20.6 million, compared to $19.0 million in Fiscal 2020 and $17.9 million in Fiscal 2019. B. Defined benefit pension plans Gates operates defined benefit pension plans in certain of the countries in which it operates, in particular, in the U.S. and U.K. Generally, the pension benefits provided under these plans are based on pensionable salary and the period of service of the individual employees. Plan assets are held separately from those of Gates in funds that are under the control of trustees. All of the defined benefit pension plans operated by Gates are closed to new entrants. In addition to the funded defined benefit pension plans, Gates has unfunded defined benefit obligations to certain current and former employees. Funded status The net deficit recognized in respect of defined benefit pension plans is presented in the balance sheet as follows: (dollars in millions) As of January 1, As of January 2, Pension surplus $ (75.5) $ (69.3) Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 2.6 2.3 Post-retirement benefit obligations 64.2 91.5 Net funded status $ (8.7) $ 24.5 Plans whose projected benefit obligation was in excess of plan assets: —Aggregate projected benefit obligation $ 341.4 $ 376.3 —Aggregate fair value of plan assets $ 274.6 $ 282.5 Plans whose accumulated benefit obligation was in excess of plan assets: —Aggregate accumulated benefit obligation $ 336.1 $ 371.6 —Aggregate fair value of plan assets $ 274.0 $ 281.9 During the year ended January 1, 2022, the net unfunded pension obligation decreased by $33.2 million. This decrease was driven primarily by actuarial gain of $43.4 million, offset partially by actual loss on plan assets of $4.9 million. Benefit obligation Changes in the projected benefit obligation in relation to defined benefit pension plans were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, Benefit obligation at the beginning of the period $ 905.9 $ 898.1 Employer service cost 4.3 5.6 Plan participants’ contributions 0.1 0.2 Plan amendments — 1.5 Interest cost 13.4 18.3 Net actuarial (gain) loss (43.4) 31.3 Benefits paid (47.6) (44.6) Expenses paid from assets (1.3) (2.0) Curtailments and settlements (1.6) (30.6) Foreign currency translation (8.7) 28.1 Benefit obligation at the end of the period $ 821.1 $ 905.9 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 816.3 $ 901.6 Changes in plan assets Changes in the fair value of the assets held by defined benefit pension plans were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, Plan assets at the beginning of the period $ 881.4 $ 835.2 Actual (loss) return on plan assets (4.9) 83.0 Employer contributions 11.3 9.8 Plan participants’ contributions 0.1 0.2 Settlements (1.6) (29.2) Benefits paid (47.6) (44.6) Expenses paid from assets (1.3) (2.0) Foreign currency translation (7.6) 29.0 Plan assets at the end of the period $ 829.8 $ 881.4 Gates’ desired investment objectives for pension plan assets include maintaining an adequate level of diversification to reduce interest rate and market risk, and to provide adequate liquidity to meet immediate and future benefit payment requirements. Outside the U.S., Gates’ defined benefit pension plans target a mix of growth seeking assets, comprising equities, and income generating assets, such as government and corporate bonds, that are considered by the trustees to be appropriate in the circumstances. Plan assets are rebalanced periodically to maintain target asset allocations. Certain benefit obligations outside the U.S. are matched by insurance contracts. Investments in equities and fixed income securities are held in pooled investment funds that are managed by investment managers on a passive (or “index-tracking”) basis. The trustees ensure that there is no significant concentration of credit risk in any one financial institution. Plan assets do not include any financial instruments issued by, any property occupied by, or other assets used by Gates. The fair values of pension plan assets by asset category were as follows: As of January 1, 2022 As of January 2, 2021 (dollars in millions) Quoted prices Significant Significant Total Quoted prices Significant Significant Total Collective investment trusts: Equity Securities $ — $ 145.3 $ — $ 145.3 $ — $ 144.1 $ — $ 144.1 Debt Securities —Corporate bonds — 240.1 — 240.1 — 190.6 — 190.6 —Government bonds — 199.6 — 199.6 — 249.5 — 249.5 Annuities and insurance — 21.2 210.5 231.7 — 49.4 239.4 288.8 Other — 5.6 — 5.6 — — — — Cash and cash equivalents 7.5 — — 7.5 8.4 — — 8.4 Total $ 7.5 $ 611.8 $ 210.5 $ 829.8 $ 8.4 $ 633.6 $ 239.4 $ 881.4 Investments in equities and bonds held in pooled investment funds are measured at the bid price quoted by the investment managers, which reflect the quoted prices of the underlying securities. Insurance contracts are measured at their surrender value quoted by the insurers. Cash and cash equivalents largely attract floating interest rates. Changes in the fair value of plan assets measured using significant unobservable inputs (level 3) were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, Fair value at the beginning of the period $ 239.4 $ 235.9 Actual (loss) return on plan assets (13.0) 11.2 Purchases 1.2 0.9 Sales — (6.7) Impacts of benefits paid (12.6) (12.6) Settlements (1.3) (0.4) Foreign currency translation (3.2) 11.1 Fair value at the end of the period $ 210.5 $ 239.4 Estimated future contributions and benefit payments Gates’ funding policy for its defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts determined annually on an actuarial basis to provide for current and future benefits in accordance with federal law and other regulations. During 2022, Gates expects to contribute approximately $10.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans (including non-qualified supplemental plans). Benefit payments, reflecting expected future service, are expected to be made by Gates’ defined benefit pension plans as follows: (dollars in millions) Total Fiscal year: —2022 $ 46.7 —2023 $ 45.6 —2024 $ 45.8 —2025 $ 45.1 —2026 $ 47.1 —2027 through 2031 $ 230.8 Net periodic benefit cost Components of the net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit pension plans relating to continuing operations were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Employer service cost $ 4.3 $ 5.6 $ 5.5 Settlements and curtailments 0.1 (2.1) (0.6) Interest cost 13.4 18.3 23.4 Expected return on plan assets (19.3) (22.0) (27.8) Amortization of prior net actuarial loss 0.4 0.2 — Amortization of prior service cost 1.0 0.8 0.8 Net periodic benefit cost $ (0.1) $ 0.8 $ 1.3 Other comprehensive income Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations of defined benefit pension plans recognized in OCI were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Current period net actuarial (gain) loss $ (19.1) $ (32.6) $ 20.5 Amortization of prior net actuarial loss (0.4) (0.2) — Prior service cost — 1.5 — Amortization of prior service cost (1.0) (0.8) (0.8) (Loss) gain recognized due to settlements and curtailments (0.1) 2.1 (0.8) Pre-tax changes recognized in OCI other than foreign currency translation (20.6) (30.0) 18.9 Foreign currency translation (0.3) 1.7 1.0 Total pre-tax changes recognized in OCI $ (20.9) $ (28.3) $ 19.9 Cumulative losses before tax recognized in OCI in respect of post-retirement benefits that had not yet been recognized as a component of the net periodic benefit cost were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Actuarial (gain) loss $ (29.1) $ (9.5) $ 21.2 Prior service costs 10.8 11.8 11.1 Foreign currency translation (1.5) (1.2) (2.9) Cumulative total $ (19.8) $ 1.1 $ 29.4 Assumptions Major assumptions used in determining the benefit obligation and the net periodic benefit cost for defined benefit pension plans are presented in the following table as weighted averages: As of January 1, 2022 As of January 2, 2021 Benefit obligation: —Discount rate 2.003 % 1.527 % —Rate of salary increase 3.095 % 3.032 % Net periodic benefit cost: —Discount rate 1.527 % 2.144 % —Rate of salary increase 3.032 % 3.170 % —Expected return on plan assets 2.380 % 2.832 % In determining the expected return on plan assets, we consider the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes, and economic and other indicators of future performance. Return projections are validated using a simulation model that incorporates yield curves, credit spreads and risk premiums to project long-term prospective returns. C. Other defined benefit plans Gates provides other post-employment benefits, principally health and life insurance cover, on an unfunded basis to certain of its employees in the U.S. and Canada. Funded status The deficit recognized in respect of other defined benefit plans is presented in the balance sheet as follows: (dollars in millions) As of January 1, 2022 As of January 2, 2021 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 4.0 $ 5.7 Post-retirement benefit obligations 42.0 51.0 $ 46.0 $ 56.7 Benefit obligation Changes in the accumulated benefit obligation in relation to other defined benefit plans were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, Benefit obligation at the beginning of the period $ 56.7 $ 57.9 Interest cost 1.2 1.7 Actuarial (gain) loss (8.4) 0.3 Benefits paid (3.8) (3.7) Foreign currency translation 0.3 0.5 Benefit obligation at the end of the period $ 46.0 $ 56.7 Accumulated benefit obligation $ 46.0 $ 56.7 Estimated future contributions and benefit payments Contributions are made to our other defined benefit plans as and when benefits are paid from the plans. During 2022, Gates expects to contribute approximately $4.1 million to its other benefit plans. Benefit payments, reflecting expected future service, are expected to be made by Gates’ other defined benefit plans as follows: (dollars in millions) Total Fiscal years: —2022 $ 4.1 —2023 $ 3.9 —2024 $ 3.7 —2025 $ 3.5 —2026 $ 3.4 —2027 through 2031 $ 14.4 Net periodic benefit cost Components of the net periodic benefit cost for other defined benefit plans were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Interest cost $ 1.2 $ 1.7 $ 2.3 Amortization of prior net actuarial gain (1.0) (1.0) (0.8) Amortization of prior service credit (0.4) (0.4) (0.4) Net periodic benefit cost $ (0.2) $ 0.3 $ 1.1 The net periodic benefit cost relates entirely to continuing operations. Other comprehensive income Changes in the benefit obligation of other defined benefit plans recognized in OCI were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Current period net actuarial (gain) loss $ (8.4) $ 0.3 $ (1.8) Amortization of prior net actuarial gain 1.0 1.0 0.8 Amortization of prior service credit 0.4 0.4 0.4 Pre-tax changes recognized in OCI other than foreign currency translation (7.0) 1.7 (0.6) Foreign currency translation — — (0.2) Total pre-tax changes recognized in OCI $ (7.0) $ 1.7 $ (0.8) Cumulative gains before tax recognized in OCI in respect of other post-retirement benefits that had not yet been recognized as a component of the net periodic benefit cost were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Actuarial gains $ (23.4) $ (16.0) $ (17.3) Prior service credits (2.6) (3.0) (3.4) Other adjustments 0.2 0.2 0.2 Foreign currency translation (0.2) (0.2) (0.2) Cumulative total $ (26.0) $ (19.0) $ (20.7) Assumptions The primary assumption used in determining the benefit obligation and the net periodic benefit cost for other defined benefit plans is the discount rate, the weighted average of which is presented in the following table: Benefit obligation Net periodic benefit cost As of January 1, As of January 2, As of January 1, As of January 2, Discount rate 2.81 % 2.30 % 2.30 % 3.08 % The initial healthcare cost trend rate as of January 1, 2022, starts at 5.74%, compared to 6.14% as of January 2, 2021, with an ultimate trend rate of 4.91%, compared to 4.92% as of January 2, 2021, beginning in 2028.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-based compensation	Share-based compensation The Company operates a share-based incentive plan over its shares to provide incentives to Gates’ senior executives and other eligible employees. During Fiscal 2021, we recognized a charge of $24.6 million, compared to $19.8 million and $15.0 million, respectively, in the prior year periods. Awards issued under the 2014 Omaha Topco Ltd. Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) Gates has a number of share-based incentive awards issued under the 2014 Plan, which was assumed by the Company and renamed the Gates Industrial Corporation plc Stock Incentive Plan in connection with our initial public offering in January 2018. No new awards have been granted under this plan since 2017. The options are split equally into four tiers, each with specific vesting conditions. Tier I options vest evenly over 5 years from the grant date, subject to the participant continuing to provide service to Gates on the vesting date. Tier II, III and IV options vest on achievement of specified investment returns by our majority owners, who are various investment funds managed by affiliates of Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone” or our “Sponsor”), at the time of a defined liquidity event, which is also subject to the participant’s continued provision of service to Gates on the vesting date. The performance conditions associated with Tiers II, III and IV must be achieved on or prior to July 3, 2022 in order for vesting to occur. All the options expire ten years after the date of grant. Due to Chinese regulatory restrictions on foreign stock ownership, awards granted under this plan to Chinese employees have been issued as stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The terms of these SARs are identical to those of the options described above with the exception that no share is issued on exercise; instead, cash equivalent to the increase in the value of the shares from the date of grant to the date of exercise is paid to the employee. These awards are therefore treated as liability awards under Topic 718 “ Compensation - Stock Compensation ” and are revalued to their fair value at each period end. Changes in the awards granted under this plan are summarized in the tables below. Awards issued under the Gates Industrial Corporation plc 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) In conjunction with the initial public offering in January 2018, Gates adopted the 2018 Plan, which is a market-based long-term incentive program that allows for the issue of a variety of equity-based and cash-based awards, including stock options, SARs and RSUs. The SARs issued under this plan take the form of options, except that no share is issued on exercise; instead, cash equivalent to the increase in the value of the shares from the date of grant to the date of exercise is paid to the employee. These awards are therefore treated as liability awards under Topic 718 “ Compensation - Stock Compensation ” and are revalued to their fair value at each period end. The SARs and the majority of the share options issued under this plan vest evenly over either three years or four years from the grant date. The remainder of the options, the premium-priced options, vest evenly over a three-year period, starting two years from the grant date. All options vest subject to the participant’s continued employment by Gates on the vesting date and expire ten years after the date of grant. The RSUs issued under the plan consist of time-vesting RSUs and performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”). The time-vesting RSUs vest evenly over either one three New awards and movements in existing awards granted under this plan are summarized in the tables below.

As of January 1, 2022, the aggregate intrinsic value of options that were exercisable was $25.9 million, and these options had a weighted average remaining contractual term of 5.0 years. As of January 1, 2022, the unrecognized compensation charge relating to the nonvested options other than Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV options, was $5.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. The unrecognized compensation charge relating to the nonvested Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV options was $23.2 million, which may be recognized on occurrence of a liquidity event as described above. During Fiscal 2021, cash of $4.6 million was received in relation to the exercise of vested options, compared to $3.1 million and $1.8 million during Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during Fiscal 2021 was $4.8 million, compared to $2.5 million and $2.1 million during Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively. Summary of movements in RSUs and PRSUs outstanding Year ended January 1, 2022 Number of Weighted average Outstanding at the beginning of the period: —RSUs 1,583,910 $ 12.88 —PRSUs 571,650 $ 16.45 2,155,560 $ 13.83 Granted during the period: —RSUs 954,504 $ 15.16 —PRSUs 325,052 $ 17.92 1,279,556 $ 15.86 Forfeited during the period: —RSUs (163,130) $ 13.69 —PRSUs (12,724) $ 16.97 (175,854) $ 13.93 Vested during the period: —RSUs (630,879) $ 13.07 (630,879) $ 13.07 Outstanding at the end of the period: —RSUs 1,744,405 $ 13.98 —PRSUs 883,978 $ 16.98 2,628,383 $ 14.99 As of January 1, 2022, the unrecognized compensation charge relating to nonvested RSUs and PRSUs was $14.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years, subject, where relevant, to the achievement of the performance conditions described above. The total fair value of RSUs and PRSUs vested during Fiscal 2021 was $12.3 million, compared to $3.1 million and $0.6 million during Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively. Valuation of awards granted during the period The grant date fair value of the options and SARs are measured using a Black-Scholes valuation model. RSUs are valued at the share price on the date of grant. The premium-priced options and PRSUs were valued using Monte Carlo simulations. As Gates only has volatility data for its shares for the period since its initial public offering, this volatility has, where necessary, been weighted with the debt-levered volatility of a peer group of public companies in order to determine the expected volatility over the expected option life. The expected option life represents the period of time for which the options are expected to be outstanding and is based on consideration of the contractual life of the option, option vesting period, and historical exercise patterns. The weighted average fair values and relevant assumptions were as follows: For the year ended January 1, January 2, December 28, Weighted average grant date fair value: —SARs $ 6.66 $ 4.59 $ 5.88 —Share options $ 6.66 $ 4.78 $ 5.88 —Premium-priced options $ 6.36 n/a $ 5.65 —RSUs $ 15.16 $ 11.79 $ 16.28 —PRSUs $ 17.92 $ 14.41 $ 20.07 Inputs to the model: —Expected volatility - SARs 46.1 % 37.7 % 31.9 % —Expected volatility - share options 46.1 % 37.6 % 31.9 % —Expected volatility - premium-priced options 46.1 % n/a 31.9 % —Expected volatility - PRSUs 50.8 % 40.4 % 32.8 % —Expected option life for SARs (years) 6.0 6.0 6.0 —Expected option life for share options (years) 6.0 6.0 6.0 —Expected option life for premium-priced options (years) 6.0 n/a 7 —Risk-free interest rate: SARs 0.95 % 1.25 % 2.51 % Share options 0.95 % 1.33 % 2.51 % Premium-priced options 0.95 % n/a 2.53 % PRSUs 0.27 % 1.29 % 2.48 %

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related party transactions	Related party transactions A. Entities affiliated with Blackstone In January 2018, Gates and Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”) and Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors L.L.C., each affiliates of our Sponsor (the “Managers”), entered into a Transaction and Monitoring Fee Agreement (the “Monitoring Fee Agreement”). Under this agreement, which terminated in January 2020 upon the second anniversary of the closing date of the initial public offering of Gates, the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively the “Monitoring Service Recipients”) engaged the Managers to provide certain monitoring, advisory and consulting services. In consideration of these oversight services, Gates agreed to pay BMP an annual fee of 1% of a covenant EBITDA measure defined under the agreements governing our senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the Monitoring Service Recipients agreed to reimburse the Managers for any related out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Managers and their affiliates. During Fiscal 2021, Gates incurred $0 million, compared to $1.9 million and $6.5 million during Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019, respectively, in respect of these oversight services and out-of-pocket expenses, and there were no amounts owing at January 1, 2022 or January 2, 2021. In addition, in connection with the initial public offering, we entered into a Support and Services Agreement with BMP, under which the Company and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries reimburse BMP for customary support services provided by Blackstone’s portfolio operations group to the Company at BMP’s direction. BMP will invoice the Company for such services based on the time spent by the relevant personnel providing such services during the applicable period and Blackstone’s allocated costs of such personnel. During the periods presented, no amounts were paid or outstanding under this agreement. This agreement terminates on the date our Sponsor beneficially owns less than 5% of our ordinary shares and such shares have a fair market value of less than $25.0 million, or such earlier date as may be chosen by Blackstone. B. Equity method investees Sales to and purchases from equity method investees were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Sales $ 0.1 $ 0.9 $ 1.4 Purchases $ (14.9) $ (13.8) $ (15.4) Amounts outstanding in respect of these transactions were payables of $1.0 million as of January 1, 2022, compared to $0.6 million as of January 2, 2021. No dividends were received from our equity method investees during the periods presented. C. Non-Gates entities controlled by non-controlling shareholders Sales to and purchases from non-Gates entities controlled by non-controlling shareholders were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Sales $ 67.3 $ 47.5 $ 51.3 Purchases $ (21.7) $ (18.5) $ (20.5) Amounts outstanding in respect of these transactions were as follows: (dollars in millions) As of January 1, As of January 2, Receivables $ 5.4 $ 0.4 Payables $ (3.6) $ (4.5) D. Majority-owned subsidiaries In early 2019, we finalized an agreement with the non-controlling interest holder in certain of our consolidated, majority-owned subsidiaries, regarding the scope of business of such subsidiaries, which will result in a smaller share of net income allocated to non-controlling interests. This change is retrospectively effective from the beginning of 2019 and includes a one-time adjustment of $15.0 million, which has been recorded in the first quarter of 2019 in the non-controlling interests line in the consolidated statement of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and contingencies	Commitments and contingencies A. Capital and other commitments As of January 1, 2022, we had entered into contractual commitments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment amounting to $5.1 million, compared to $3.5 million as of January 2, 2021, and for the purchase of non-integral computer software amounting to $0.7 million, compared to $0.6 million as of January 2, 2021. As of January 1, 2022, we had entered into contractual commitments for non-capital items such as raw materials and supplies amounting to $31.3 million, compared to $26.1 million as of January 2, 2021. B. Performance bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees As of January 1, 2022, letters of credit were outstanding against the asset-backed revolving facility amounting to $45.3 million, compared to $28.5 million as of January 2, 2021. We had additional outstanding performance bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees amounting to $6.3 million as of January 1, 2022, compared to $6.0 million as of January 2, 2021. C. Company–owned life insurance policies Gates is the beneficiary of a number of corporate-owned life insurance policies against which it borrows from the relevant life insurance company. As of January 1, 2022, the surrender value of the policies was $966.1 million, compared to $954.9 million as of January 2, 2021, and the amount outstanding on the related loans was $964.3 million, compared to $953.2 million as of January 2, 2021. For financial reporting purposes, these amounts are offset as a legal right of offset exists and the net receivable of $1.8 million, compared to $1.7 million as of January 2, 2021, is included in other receivables. D. Contingencies The Company is, from time to time, party to general legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business including those relating to environmental obligations, product liability, intellectual property, commercial and contractual disputes, employment matters and other business matters. When appropriate, management consults with legal counsel and other appropriate experts to assess claims. If, in management’s opinion, we have incurred a probable loss as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, an estimate is made of the loss and the appropriate accrual is reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Currently, there are no material amounts accrued. While it is not possible to quantify the financial impact or predict the outcome of all pending claims and litigation, management does not anticipate that the outcome of any current proceedings or known claims, either individually or in aggregate, will materially affect Gates’ financial position, results of operations or cash flows. E. Allowance for expected credit losses Movements in our allowance for expected credit losses were as follows: For the year ended (dollars in millions) January 1, January 2, December 28, Balance at beginning of year $ 5.2 $ 8.6 $ 7.4 Current period provision for expected credit losses 0.2 0.7 2.4 Write-offs charged against allowance (0.1) (4.3) (1.3) Foreign currency translation (0.2) 0.2 0.1 Balance at end of year $ 5.1 $ 5.2 $ 8.6

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of presentationThe consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
New accounting pronouncements adopted and policies not yet adopted	The accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial statements and related notes are the same as those applied in the prior year, except for the adoption on the first day of our 2021 fiscal year of the following new Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”): • ASU 2019-12 “ Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ” (Topic 740): Income Taxes In December 2019, the Financial Accountant Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an ASU to simplify and reduce the complexity of general principles in Topic 740: Income Taxes. Such simplifications include the elimination of certain exceptions to: 1) the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, 2) the requirement to recognize a deferred income tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, 3) the ability not to recognize a deferred income tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary, and 4) the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU did not have any significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. The following recent accounting pronouncements are relevant to Gates’ operations but have not yet been adopted: • ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance” In November 2021, FASB issued this ASU to increase the transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (i) the types of assistance, (ii) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (iii) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. This update requires certain annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy, including (i) information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for them, (ii) the line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each line item, and (iii) significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. The amendments are effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted. We do not expect significant impact on our consolidated financial statements on adoption of this ASU.
Accounting periods	Accounting periodsThe Company prepares its annual consolidated financial statements as of the Saturday nearest December 31. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheets are presented as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity are presented for the years ended January 1, 2022 (“Fiscal 2021”), January 2, 2021 (“Fiscal 2020”) and December 28, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”).
Basis of consolidation	Basis of consolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the results of operations, cash flows and assets and liabilities of Gates and its majority-owned subsidiaries, and our share of the results of our equity method investees.We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling interest or when we are considered the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of consolidated subsidiaries and the non-controlling parties’ ownership interest is presented as a non-controlling interest. Intercompany transactions and balances, and any unrealized profits or losses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.
Foreign currency transactions and translation	Foreign currency transactions and translation Transactions denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are translated into the entity’s functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the reporting date. Exchange differences arising from changes in exchange rates are recognized in net income for the period. The net foreign currency transaction loss included in operating income from continuing operations during Fiscal 2021 was $7.1 million, compared to a loss of $7.7 million in Fiscal 2020 and a loss of $1.7 million in Fiscal 2019. We also recognized net financing-related foreign currency transaction losses within other expenses (income) of $7.6 million during Fiscal 2021, compared to a gain of $5.3 million in Fiscal 2020 and a gain of $0.8 million in Fiscal 2019. On consolidation, the results of operations of entities whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period and their assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences are recognized within other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as a separate component of accumulated OCI. In the event that a foreign operation is sold, or substantially liquidated, the cumulative currency translation differences that are attributable to the operation are reclassified to net income. In the statement of cash flows, the cash flows of operations whose functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the weighted average exchange rate for the period.
Net sales	Net sales Gates derives its net sales primarily from the sale of a wide range of power transmission and fluid power products and components for a large variety of industrial and automotive applications, both in the aftermarket and first-fit channels, throughout the world. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We apply the five-step model under Topic 606 (“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”) to all contracts. The five steps are: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. In most of our agreements with customers, we consider accepted customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to represent the contracts with our customers. Revenue from the sale of goods under these contracts is measured at the invoiced amount, net of estimated returns, early settlement discounts and rebates. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenues. Where a customer has the right to return goods, future returns are estimated based on historical returns profiles. Settlement discounts that may apply to unpaid invoices are estimated based on the settlement histories of the relevant customers. Our transaction prices often include variable consideration, usually in the form of discounts and rebates that may apply to issued invoices. The reduction in the transaction price for variable consideration requires that we make estimations of the expected total qualifying sales to the relevant customers. These estimates, including an analysis for potential constraint on variable consideration, take into account factors such as the nature of the rebate program, historical information and expectations of customer and consumer behavior. Overall, the transaction price is reduced to reflect our estimate of the consideration that is not probable of significant reversal. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the accepted purchase order is considered to be the standalone selling price. In substantially all of our contracts with customers, our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time, rather than over a period of time, when control of the product is transferred to the customer. This occurs typically at shipment. In determining whether control has transferred and the customer is consequently able to control the use of the product for their own benefit, we consider if there is a present right to payment, legal title and physical possession has been transferred, whether the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, and if acceptance of the asset by the customer is more than perfunctory.
Selling, general and administrative expenses	Selling, general and administrative expensesShipping and handling costsCosts of outbound shipping and handling are included in SG&A.
Research and development costs	Research and development costsResearch and development costs are charged to net income in the period in which they are incurred.
Advertising costs	Advertising costsAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A.
Restructuring expenses	Restructuring expenses Restructuring expenses are incurred in major projects undertaken to rationalize and improve our cost competitiveness. Restructuring expenses incurred during the periods presented are analyzed in note 5. Liabilities in respect of termination benefits provided to employees who are involuntarily terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement are recognized over the future service period when those employees are required to render services to the entity beyond the minimum retention period. If employees are not required to render service until they are terminated or if they will not be retained to render service beyond 60 days or a longer legal notification period, the liability is recognized on the communication date. Termination benefits that are covered by a contract or an ongoing benefit arrangement are recognized when it is probable that employees will be entitled to benefits and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Benefits that are offered for a short period of time in exchange for voluntary termination are recognized when the employees accept the offer. Restructuring expenses other than termination benefits and lease exit costs are recognized only when the Company has incurred a related liability.
Inventory	InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. A valuation adjustment is made to inventory for any excess, obsolete or slow-moving items based on management’s review of on-hand inventories compared to historical and estimated future sales and usage profiles. Any consequent write-down of inventory results in a new cost basis for inventory.Cost represents the expenditure incurred in bringing inventories to their existing location and condition, which may include the cost of raw materials, direct labor costs, other direct costs and related production overheads. Cost is generally determined on a first in, first out (“FIFO”) basis, but the cost of certain inventories is determined on a last in, first out (“LIFO”) basis.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill arising in a business combination is allocated to the reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Where goodwill is attributable to more than one reporting unit, the goodwill is determined by allocating the purchase consideration in proportion to their respective business enterprise values and comparing the allocated purchase consideration with the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable and is carried at cost less any recognized impairment. For both reporting units, which are also our reportable segments, the fair values exceeded the carrying values and no goodwill impairments were therefore recognized during Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 or Fiscal 2019.
Other intangible assets	Other intangible assets Other intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment. (i) Assets acquired in business combinations An acquired intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized on a straight-line basis so as to charge its cost, which represents its fair value at the date of acquisition, to net income over the Company’s expectation of its useful life, as follows: Customer relationships 15 to 17 years Technology 5 to 7 years Acquired brands and trade names are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment and are carried at cost less any recognized impairment. (ii) Computer software Computer software that is not integral to an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized separately as an intangible asset. Computer software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which ranges from 2 to 6 years.
Property, plant and equipment	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment losses. Major improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance that do not significantly extend the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Land and assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than land and assets under construction, is generally expensed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company’s estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment are generally in the following ranges: Buildings and improvements 30 to 40 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or useful life Machinery, equipment and vehicles 2 to 20 years
Leases	Leases Gates has a large number of leases covering a wide variety of tangible assets that are used in our operations across the world. The value of our global leases is concentrated in a relatively small number of real estate leases, which accounted for approximately 92% of the lease liability under non-cancellable leases as of January 1, 2022. The remaining leases are predominantly comprised of equipment and vehicle leases. In determining the impact of renewal options on the lease term, we consider various economic factors, including real estate strategies, the nature, length and underlying terms of the agreement, as well as the uncertainty of the condition of leased equipment at the end of the lease term. Certain payments under our lease agreements, such as property taxes and utility costs, are excluded from the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and are recognized instead as variable payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. A number of our leases, particularly real estate leases, include base rent escalation clauses. The majority of these are based on the change in a local consumer price or similar inflation index. Payments that vary based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the rate as of the commencement date with any subsequent changes to those payments being recognized as variable payments in the period in which they occur. Gates does not have any significant leases containing residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants. Additionally, as of January 1, 2022, there were no significant new leases that have not yet commenced. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the future minimum lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease, when readily available. As most of our leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, we discount the future minimum lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate which represents the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. We determine this rate at a country or lower level and take into account factors including currency, country risk premium, industry risk and adjustments for collateralized debt. Appropriate yield curves are used to derive different debt tenors to approximate the applicable lease term. The discount rate is reassessed when there is a remeasurement of the lease liability, which happens predominantly when there is a contract modification and that modification does not result in a separate contract. We have adopted the following practical expedients: (i) we will not separate the lease component from the non-lease component for all asset classes. We have therefore not allocated consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components; and (ii) we recognize the payments on short-term leases (leases with terms at inception of 12 months or fewer) in net income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. No amount is recognized on the balance sheet with respect to these leases.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits available on demand and other short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities on acquisition of 90 days or less. We have cash concentrations in certain large, highly-rated global financial institutions. Management closely monitors the credit quality of the institutions in which it holds deposits.
Restricted cash	Restricted cashRestricted cash, which is included in the prepaid expenses and other assets line in the consolidated balance sheet, includes cash given as collateral under letters of credit for insurance and regulatory purposes.
Trade accounts receivable	Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable represent the amount of sales of goods to customers, net of discounts and rebates, for which payment has not been received, less an allowance for expected credit losses. Our businesses develop their expected loss estimates based either on the aging profile of outstanding receivables or by applying an experience factor (either a percentage of sales or a percentage of open receivables). These methodologies are based primarily on historical trends and experience, but credit controllers also regularly assess individual customer accounts to identify any potential increases or decreases in the level of expected credit loss needed to be applied to each customer based on current circumstances and future expectations. Before accepting a new customer, we assess their credit quality and establish a credit limit. Credit quality is assessed by using data maintained by reputable credit rating agencies, by checking of references included in credit applications and, where they are available, by reviewing the customer’s recent financial statements. Credit limits are subject to multiple levels of authorization and are reviewed on a regular basis. Although Gates has a wide variety of customers from multinational original equipment manufacturers and distributors to small family-owned businesses, the majority of our sales are generated from large companies with low credit risk. Global developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our customers’ ability to pay us continue to be closely monitored and taken into account in the determination of our expected credit loss estimates. Movements in our allowance for expected credit losses during the periods presented are analyzed in note 22. During 2021, the Company implemented a program with an unrelated third party under which we may periodically sell trade accounts receivable from one of our aftermarket customers with whom we have extended payment terms as part of a commercial agreement. The purpose of using this program is to generally offset the working capital impact resulting from this terms extension. All eligible accounts receivable from this customer are covered by the program, and any factoring is solely at our option. Following the factoring of a qualifying receivable, because we maintain no continuing involvement in the underlying receivable, and collectability risk is fully transferred to the unrelated third party, we account for these transactions as a sale of a financial asset and derecognize the asset. Cash received under the program is classified as operating cash inflows in the consolidated statement of cash flows. As of January 1, 2022, the collection of $106.9 million of our trade accounts receivable had been accelerated under this program. During Fiscal 2021, we incurred costs in respect of this program of $1.4 million, which are recorded under other expenses (income).
Debt	DebtDebt is initially measured at its principal amount, net of directly attributable transaction costs, if any, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Accounts payable	Accounts payableAccounts payable represents the amount of invoices received from suppliers for purchases of goods and services and the amount of goods received but not invoiced, for which payment has not been made.
Derivative financial instruments	Derivative financial instruments We use derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts, interest rate caps (options) and interest rate swaps, to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. We do not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes and monitor closely the credit quality of the institutions with which we transact. We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet date. The accounting for the change in the fair value is recognized in net income based on the nature of the items being hedged unless the financial instrument has been designated in an effective cash flow or net investment hedging relationship, in which case the change in fair value is recognized in OCI.
Fair Value	Fair ValueFair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities that are held at fair value, or for which fair values are presented in these consolidated financial statements, have been categorized into one of three levels to reflect the degree to which observable inputs are used in determining the fair values. Where a change in the determination of the fair value of a financial asset or liability results in a transfer between the levels of the fair value hierarchy, we recognize that transfer at the end of the reporting period.
Post-retirement benefits	Post-retirement benefits Post-retirement benefits comprise pension benefits provided to employees and other benefits, mainly healthcare, provided to certain employees in North America. We account for our post-retirement benefit plans in accordance with Topic 715 “ Compensation – Retirement Benefits ”, which is based on the principle that the cost of providing these benefits is recognized in net income over the service periods of the participating employees. For defined benefit plans, the net obligation or surplus arising from providing the benefits is recognized as a liability or an asset determined by actuarial valuations of each of the plans that are carried out annually by independent qualified actuaries as of the year end balance sheet date. Benefit obligations are measured using the projected unit credit method. Plan assets (if any) are measured at fair value. We recognize the service cost component of our net periodic pension and other post-retirement benefit cost in the lines within operating income to which the relevant employees' other compensation costs are reported. All other components of the net periodic benefit cost (which include the interest cost, the expected return on plan assets, gains or losses on settlements and curtailments, the amortization of prior year service cost or credit and prior year actuarial gains and losses) are included in the other (expenses) income line, outside of operating income from continuing operations. Actuarial gains and losses represent differences between the expected and actual returns on the plan assets, gains and losses on the plan liabilities and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions. We use the “corridor approach” whereby, to the extent that cumulative actuarial gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the market related value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the fiscal year, they are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income over the average remaining service periods of participating employees. Gains and losses on settlements and curtailments are recognized in net income in the period in which the curtailment or settlement occurs.
Share-based compensation	Share-based compensation Share-based compensation has historically been provided to certain of our employees under share option, bonus and other share award plans. All share-award plans are equity settled, except for certain awards issued in the form of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to employees in China, where local regulations necessitate a cash-settled award. These awards are therefore accounted for as liabilities rather than equity. We recognize compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards, measured using either the share price on the date of grant, a Black-Scholes option-pricing model or a Monte-Carlo valuation model, depending on the nature of the award. Fair value is determined at the date of grant and reflects market and performance conditions and all non-vesting conditions. Generally, the compensation expense for each separately vesting portion of the award is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for that portion of the award. Compensation expense is recognized for awards containing market conditions regardless of whether or not the market condition is met, whereas compensation expense for awards containing performance conditions is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that those performance conditions will be met. Adjustments are made to reflect expected and actual forfeitures during the vesting period due to failure to satisfy service conditions or performance conditions. For equity awards, fair value is not subsequently remeasured unless the conditions on which the award was granted are modified. An amount corresponding to the compensation expense for equity awards is recognized in equity as additional paid in capital. For liability awards, the fair value is remeasured each period and the change in fair value is recognized in net income for the period with a corresponding change in the outstanding liability.
Income taxes	Income taxes Current tax is the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable income for the period. Taxable income differs from financial reporting income because it excludes items of income or expense recognized for financial reporting purposes that are either not taxable or deductible for tax purposes or are taxable or deductible in other periods. Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Management assesses unrecognized tax benefits based upon an evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the balance sheet date. Provision is made for unrecognized tax benefits to the extent that the amounts previously taken or expected to be taken in tax returns exceeds the tax benefits that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the tax positions. A tax benefit is recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if management considers that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the relevant tax authority solely on the technical merits of the position and is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement assuming that the tax authority has full knowledge of all relevant information. Provisions for unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed regularly and are adjusted to reflect events such as the expiration of limitation periods for assessing tax, guidance given by the tax authorities and court decisions. Interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits are accrued in accordance with the applicable tax legislation on any excess of the tax benefit claimed or expected to be claimed in a tax return and the tax benefit recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Interest and penalties are recognized as a component of income tax benefit (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations and accrued interest and penalties are included under the related taxes payable line in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the expected future tax consequences of the difference between the financial statement carrying amount and the respective tax basis. Deferred taxes are measured on the enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income at the time the difference is anticipated to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced through the establishment of a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized taking into account the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax is provided on taxable temporary differences arising on investments in foreign subsidiaries, except where we intend, and are able, to reinvest such amounts on a permanent basis or to remit such amounts in a tax-free manner.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP requires us to make assumptions and estimates concerning the future that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are particularly important in accounting for items such as the timing and amount of revenue recognition, rebates, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, inventory valuation, financial instruments, expected credit losses, product warranties, income taxes and post-retirement benefits. Estimates and assumptions used are based on factors such as historical experience, observance of trends in the industries in which we operate and information available from our customers and other outside sources. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and estimates, events and changes in circumstances arising after January 1, 2022, including those resulting from the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, may result in actual outcomes that differ from those contemplated by our assumptions and estimates.
