Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Whole Earth Brands, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Whole Earth Brands” or the “Company”) is a global industry-leading platform, focused on the “better for you” consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) and ingredients space. The Company has a global platform of branded products and ingredients, focused on the consumer transition towards natural alternatives and clean label products. On June 24, 2020, Act II Global Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Act II”), domesticated into a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”), and on June 25, 2020 (the “Closing”), consummated the indirect acquisition (the “Business Combination”) of (i) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Merisant Company (“Merisant”), Merisant Luxembourg Sarl (“Merisant Luxembourg”), Mafco Worldwide LLC (“Mafco Worldwide”), Mafco Shanghai LLC (“Mafco Shanghai”), EVD Holdings LLC (“EVD Holdings”), and Mafco Deutschland GmbH (together with Merisant, Merisant Luxembourg, Mafco Worldwide, Mafco Shanghai, and EVD Holdings, and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries, “Merisant and Mafco Worldwide”), and (ii) certain assets and liabilities of Merisant and Mafco Worldwide included in the Transferred Assets and Liabilities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement (as hereafter defined)), from Flavors Holdings Inc. (“Flavors Holdings”), MW Holdings I LLC (“MW Holdings I”), MW Holdings III LLC (“MW Holdings III”), and Mafco Foreign Holdings, Inc. (“Mafco Foreign Holdings,” and together with Flavors Holdings, MW Holdings I, and MW Holdings III, the “Sellers”), pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among Act II and the Sellers dated as of December 19, 2019, as amended. In connection with the Domestication, Act II changed its name to “Whole Earth Brands, Inc.” Upon the completion of the Domestication, each of Act II’s then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares converted, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of common stock of Whole Earth Brands. Additionally, immediately after the Business Combination, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of Whole Earth Brands common stock and 5,263,500 private placement warrants exercisable for 2,631,750 shares of Whole Earth Brands common stock to certain investors. On the date of Closing, the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbols “FREE” and “FREEW,” respectively. As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, Act II was deemed to be the acquirer and Mafco Worldwide and Merisant Company were deemed to be the acquired parties and, collectively, the accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation includes the combined financial statements of Mafco Worldwide and Merisant Company as the “Predecessor” for periods prior to the completion of the Business Combination and includes the consolidation of Mafco Worldwide and Merisant Company, for periods after the Closing (referred to as the “Successor”). The combined financial statements for the “Predecessor” periods include the accounts of Mafco Worldwide and Merisant Company which were wholly owned subsidiaries of Flavors Holdings Inc. Flavors Holdings Inc. is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated, which was not acquired in the Business Combination. Change in Accounting Principle —The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (an “EGC”) and as such, has elected the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting pronouncements. During the extended transition period, the Company is not subject to certain new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The accounting pronouncements pending adoption below reflect effective dates for the Company as an EGC with the extended transition period. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-2, “Leases (Topic 842)”, and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases as well as extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The lessee needs to recognize on its balance sheet a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for the majority of its leases (other than leases with a term of less than 12 months). The lease liabilities should be equal to the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The right-of-use asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial indirect costs. For public entities, the updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This standard is effective for the Company as an EGC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Act II adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020. The Company recognized the leases acquired as part of the Business Combination on June 25, 2020, which were recorded pursuant to the aforementioned ASU. Refer to Note 3 for additional details. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-7, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715).” Under the new guidance, employers are required to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same statement of operations caption as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Employers are required to present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the caption that includes the service costs and outside of any subtotal of operating profit and are required to disclose the caption used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if not presented separately on the statement of operations. The Company adopted ASU 2017-7 effective in the second quarter of 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the Company’s historically reported net income (loss) but resulted in a presentation reclassification which increased the Company’s historically reported operating profit by $0.1 million for the period from January 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-2, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” which amends existing standards for income statement-reporting comprehensive income to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statements users. ASU 2018-2 was effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption was permitted. On January 1, 2019, the Predecessor elected to adopt this standard on a full retrospective approach and reclassified $2.1 million from accumulated other comprehensive income within net parent investment. Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of Whole Earth Brands, Inc., and its indirect and wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalent s—The Company considers all cash on hand, money market funds, and other highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts —Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses in its existing accounts receivable based on historical losses and current economic conditions. Account balances are charged against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously offset against the allowance are recorded in the combined statements of operations when received. Inventories —Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The cost of inventory is determined principally by the first in, first out method. Property, Plant and Equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions, improvements, and replacements that extend asset life are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment in service currently ranges as follows: 3 to 40 years for buildings and 1 to 14 years for all other equipment. When property and equipment are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gains or losses are included in income from operations. Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operating expense as incurred. Leases —As of the date of the Business Combination, the Company accounts for leases pursuant to ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new standard, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability is recorded for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date calculated using our incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. The Company’s lease portfolio includes a factory building, office space, warehouses, material handling equipment, vehicles and office equipment. All of our leases are classified as operating leases. Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets —Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are summarized in Note 6. The Company reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” Under ASC Topic 350, the impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization must be based on estimated fair values. The Company’s annual impairment review measurement date is in the fourth quarter of each year. In performing the annual assessment, the Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that a reporting unit has been impaired. As part of the qualitative assessment for the reporting units, the Company evaluates the factors that are specific to the reporting units as well as industry and macroeconomic factors (including changes in interest and discount rates). The reporting unit specific factors may include cost factors, a comparison of current year results to prior year, current year budget and future projected financial performance. The Company also considers the change in the overall enterprise value of the Company compared to the date of the Business Combination. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired or if the Company elects not to perform the optional qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed utilizing both the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of its reporting units. The income approach involves discounting future estimated cash flows. The discount rate used is the value-weighted average of the reporting unit’s estimated cost of equity and debt (“cost of capital”) derived using both known and estimated customary market metrics. The Company performs sensitivity tests with respect to growth rates and discount rates used in the income approach. In applying the market approach, valuation multiples are derived from historical and projected operating data of selected guideline companies; evaluated and adjusted, if necessary, based on the strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit relative to the selected guideline companies; and applied to the appropriate historical and/or projected operating data to arrive at an indication of fair value. The Company weights the results of the income and market approaches equally. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, then an impairment is recorded for the difference, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company typically evaluates impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, including our product formulations, by first performing a qualitative assessment. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or determines that it is more likely that not that the fair value of the product formulations is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is then performed using the relief from royalty method under the income approach to estimate the fair value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair value include the estimated future annual sales, royalty rates (as a percentage of sales that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of the brand to an unrelated licensee), income tax considerations and a discount rate that reflects the level of risk. Impairment Review of Long-Lived Assets —In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” the Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group may be impaired. When such events occur, the Company compares the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset or asset group over its remaining depreciable life to the carrying value. If this comparison indicates that there is an impairment, the carrying amount of the long-lived asset would then be reduced to the estimated fair value, which generally approximates discounted cash flows. The Company also evaluates the amortization periods of assets to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company’s applicable long-lived assets include its property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets. Income Taxes —The provision for income taxes for the Successor period is determined using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. For the Predecessor period, income taxes as presented herein are attributable to current and deferred income taxes of the Company’s financial statements in a manner that is systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and liability method described by ASC Topic 740. Accordingly, the Company’s income tax provision during the predecessor period was prepared following the separate return method. The separate return method applies ASC Topic 740 to the stand-alone financial statements of each member of the combined group as if the group member were a separate taxpayer and a stand-alone enterprise. Use of the separate return method may result in differences when the sum of the amounts allocated to stand-alone tax provisions are compared with amounts presented in the combined financial statements. In that event, the related deferred tax assets and liabilities could be significantly different from those presented herein. The combined financial statements reflect the Company’s portion of income taxes payable as if the Company had been a separate taxpayer. The Company made a policy election to treat the income tax due on United States (“U.S.”) inclusion of the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions as a period expense when incurred. Uncertainty in Income Taxes —The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued under ASC Topic 740, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company provides loss contingencies for federal, state and international tax matters relating to potential tax examination issues, planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities. The development of these reserves requires judgements about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing, which if different, may materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of provision (benefit) for income taxes in the consolidated and combined statements of operations. Pension Plans —The Company has defined benefit pension plans and a defined contribution 401(k) plan, which cover certain current and former employees of the Company who meet eligibility requirements. Benefits for the defined benefit pension plans are based on years of service and, in some cases, the employee’s compensation and participation was frozen to all employees hired on or after August 1, 2017. The Company’s policy is to contribute annually the amount required pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The Company froze the pension plan for all participants on December 31, 2019. Certain subsidiaries of the Company outside the U.S. have retirement plans that provide certain payments upon retirement. The Company recognizes in its balance sheet the funded status of its defined benefit pension plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation and recognizes changes in the funded status of the defined benefit pension plans as accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, within net parent investment to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost (see Note 11). Self-Insurance —The Company is self-insured for certain workers’ compensation. Provisions for losses expected under the program are recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liabilities for the claims incurred. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the liabilities for self-insured workers compensation were $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation —In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” the Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost in its consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date for equity-classified awards and at the end of each reporting period for liability-classified awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Additional information pertaining to the Company’s stock-based compensation is provided in Note 12. Revenue Recognition —Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, and all related amendments, which provides updated accounting guidance on recognizing revenue. This updated accounting guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to utilize to recognize revenue when they transfer goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that will be received in exchange for the goods or services. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective method. There was no impact to the combined balance sheets or the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income as of January 1, 2018 for the adoption of the standards update. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price sales taxes and all other items of a similar nature, and also elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment of the promise to transfer the goods. Accordingly, shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. The terms and conditions of sale under the supply agreements and/or purchase orders for Merisant call for FOB Destination and FOB Origin shipping terms with its customers. The customer payment terms are usually 40 days from invoice date. The terms and conditions of sale under the supply agreements and/or purchase orders for Mafco Worldwide have various shipping terms with its customers depending upon the customer requests. The customer payment terms range from 30 – 120 days from invoice date based upon geographic location of the customer. Merisant usually offers promotional activities (e.g. coupons, trade discounts and other promotional activities) to the customers. These variable consideration amounts are estimated for each customer based on specific arrangement/agreement, an analysis of historical volume and/or current activity with that customer. Reassessment of variable consideration estimates is done at each reporting date throughout the contract period until the uncertainty is resolved (e.g. promotional campaign is closed and settled with customer). Historically, the Company has encountered limited instances whereby customers rejected products as a result of orders being materially inaccurate and/or products being defective. The Company tracks the reason codes for those customer returns. Based on that, the materiality of such returns is assessed. A return reserve is calculated (based on historical data as described above) every month to record an adjustment to net sales; these adjustments have not been significant. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by product categories (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Sweeteners and adjacencies $ 96,857 $ 80,749 $ 165,863 $ 173,759 Licorice products 50,311 47,579 106,260 117,206 Total product revenues, net $ 147,168 $ 128,328 $ 272,123 $ 290,965 The following table presents revenues disaggregated by business and geographic region (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Branded CPG: North America $ 40,273 $ 29,926 $ 59,945 $ 59,007 Europe, Middle East and Africa 41,855 35,360 75,974 81,978 Asia-Pacific 8,428 9,584 17,772 17,035 Latin America 6,301 5,879 12,172 15,739 Flavors & Ingredients 50,311 47,579 106,260 117,206 Total product revenues, net $ 147,168 $ 128,328 $ 272,123 $ 290,965 The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts as an estimate of the inability of its customers to make their required payments. The determination of the allowance requires the Company to make assumptions about the future ability to collect amounts owed from customers. Marketing Costs —The Company promotes its products with marketing activities, including advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. On an annual basis, advertising costs are expensed as incurred or in the year in which the related advertisement initially appears. Advertising expense was $6.2 million for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020, $4.8 million from January 1, 2020 through June 25, 2020, $11.9 million in 2019 and $16.1 million in 2018. Consumer incentive and trade promotion activities are deducted from revenue based on amounts estimated as being or becoming due to customers and consumers at the end of a period, based principally on the Company’s historical utilization and redemption rates. These deductions are estimated and recorded upon sale of product by the Company and revised as necessary at each period end. Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The Company measures fair value using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity. The Company measures its term loan and revolving facilities at original carrying value including accrued interest, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees. The fair value of the credit facilities approximates carrying value, as they consist of variable rate loans. Major Customers and Credit Concentration —The Company sells products to customers in the U.S. and internationally. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers, and generally does not require collateral on trade accounts receivable. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses and such losses have been within management’s expectations. Foreign Currency Translation —The Company has determined that the functional currency for each combined subsidiary is its local currency, except for certain entities whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of entities outside the U.S. are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each period and income statement accounts are translated at each period’s average exchange rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet, except for any entities which may operate in highly inflationary economies. Gains and losses resulting from transactions in other than functional currencies are reflected in operating results, except for transactions of a long-term nature. Remeasurements of European entities whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar as well as translation adjustments for entities operating in highly inflationary economies and impacts of foreign currency transactions are recognized currently in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. The Company had foreign exchange losses, net of $0.9 million for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020, foreign exchange gains, net of $0.5 million from January 1, 2020 through June 25, 2020, and foreign exchange losses, net of $2.0 million in 2019 and $1.9 million in 2018. Beginning January 1, 2019, the Company was required to apply highly-inflationary accounting to its Argentinian subsidiary. This accounting treatment requires a change in the subsidiary’s functional currency from the local currency (Argentinian Peso) to the parent’s reporting currency (USD). This highly-inflationary classification results from the fact that the cumulative inflation rate for the preceding 3 year period exceeded 100 percent as of June 30, 2018. When the Company changed the functional currency, it revalued the subsidiary’s financial statements as if the new functional currency (USD) were the reporting currency. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2019, all Argentinian Peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities are considered foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and are revalued to USD (the functional currency) with remeasurement adjustments in the period recorded in the statement of operations. The USD will be the functional currency until the economic environment in Argentina ceases to be considered highly-inflationary. As of the date of the Business Combination, the assets and liabilities of the Argentinian subsidiary were adjusted to fair value. Certain non-monetary assets and liabilities that were previously recorded at the applicable historical exchange rates are recorded in USD using the exchange rate as of June 25, 2020. Argentinian Peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities continue to be revalued to USD (the functional currency) with remeasurement period adjustments in the period recorded in the statement of operations. The Company recorded $0.3 million of expense related to remeasurement adjustments in the consolidated statements of operations for the period of June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The impact was not material for the period of January 1, 2020 to June 25 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019. Derivative Financial Instruments —The Company periodically uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the exposure of effects on net cash flows due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company recognizes these derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized immediately in earnings. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year. The Company did not enter into any forward exchange contracts in 2020 and the effect of forward exchange contracts were not material in 2019 and 2018. Restructuring and Employee Termination Benefits —During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company adopted restructuring plans to streamline processes and realize cost savings by consolidating facilities and eliminating various positions in operations and general and administrative areas. In connection with the restructuring plans, the Company recognized employee termination benefits of $1.1 million for the period from June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and $0.6 million and $3.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Employee termination benefits related to the restructuring plans are recorded in restructuring and other expenses in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. All of the charges related to the 2019 program were paid as of December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company recorded facility exit and other related costs of $0.8 million and $1.9 million during 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to Branded CPG, and $0.8 million and $4.5 million during 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to Flavors & Ingredients. The Company did not recognize any facility exit and other related costs during 2020. Facility exit and other related costs are recorded |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
BUSINESS COMBINATION | NOTE 2: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On June 25, 2020, pursuant to the Business Combination, the Company indirectly acquired Merisant and Mafco Worldwide in a transaction accounted for as a business combination under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” and was accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the acquisition date fair value of the consideration paid by the Company was allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The following summarizes the preliminary purchase consideration (in thousands): Base cash consideration $ 387,500 Closing adjustment (764) Total Purchase Price $ 386,736 The Company preliminarily recorded the fair value of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands): Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,062 Accounts receivable 45,769 Inventories 106,436 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 2,461 Property, plant and equipment, net 43,554 Operating lease right-of-use assets 12,541 Intangible assets 148,750 Deferred tax assets, net 1,065 Other assets 1,398 Total assets acquired 372,036 Accounts payable 18,590 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 35,063 Current portion of operating lease liabilities 3,007 Operating lease liabilities, less current portion 12,208 Deferred tax liabilities, net 23,167 Other liabilities 15,467 Total liabilities assumed 107,502 Net assets acquired 264,534 Goodwill 122,202 Total Purchase Price $ 386,736 The preliminary values allocated to identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows: Identifiable intangible assets Fair Value (in thousands) Useful life (in Years) Customer relationships $ 47,359 0.5 to 10 Tradenames 90,691 25 Product formulations 10,700 Indefinite $ 148,750 Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and expected future market opportunities. Of the purchase price allocated to goodwill, $2.5 million will be deductible for income tax purposes pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 197 over a 15 year period. The Company’s preliminary allocation of purchase price was based upon preliminary valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date and is subject to adjustments for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition to reflect final valuations. The accounting for the Business Combination is not complete as the valuation for certain acquired assets and liabilities have not been finalized. These final valuations of the assets and liabilities could have a material impact on the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed above. In the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to its initial allocation of purchase price as a result of ongoing valuation procedures on assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including (i) a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.5 million; (ii) a decrease in inventory of $2.7 million; (iii) a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $10.4 million (see discussion below); (iv) an increase in property, plant and equipment of $21.6 million, of which $19.1 million is due to the valuation of certain real estate; (v) a decrease in operating lease right-of-use assets of $2.7 million to adjust the value of the Company’s leases to market value; (vi) a decrease in intangible assets of $8.7 million; (vii) an increase in other assets of $0.4 million; (viii) a decrease in accounts payable of $0.4 million; (ix) a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.7 million; (x) a decrease in deferred tax liabilities, net of $0.8 million; (xi) a decrease in other liabilities of $1.0 million; and (xii) a decrease to goodwill of $8.9 million due to the incremental measurement period adjustments discussed in items (i) through (xi). The initial allocation of purchase price reflects a $10.1 million adjustment to prepaid expenses and other current assets as a result of a change to the consideration transferred relative to the initial purchase price allocation. This adjustment was also reflected as a reduction to the estimated closing adjustments, and therefore, the total purchase price. Direct transaction-related costs consist of costs incurred in connection with the Business Combination. Act II incurred transaction costs of $17.0 million prior to the Business Combination which are reflected within the accumulated deficit within the consolidated statement of Equity. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company identified $1.2 million of additional Act II transaction costs that had been incurred in connection with the Business Combination. The effect of correcting for these costs decreased additional paid-in capital by $0.9 million and accumulated deficit by $0.3 million. Swerve Acquisition —On November 10, 2020, the Company executed and closed a definitive Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with RF Development, LLC (“RF Development”), Swerve, L.L.C. (“Swerve LLC”) and Swerve IP, L.L.C. (“Swerve IP” and together with Swerve LLC, “Swerve”). Swerve is a manufacturer and marketer of a portfolio of zero sugar, keto-friendly, and plant-based sweeteners and baking mixes. The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of both Swerve LLC and Swerve IP from RF Development for $80 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction was funded through a combination of available cash on hand and approximately $47.9 million under the Company’s $50 million revolving loan facility. In connection with the acquisition of Swerve, the Company incurred transaction related costs of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Swerve is included within the Company’s Branded CPG reportable segment. The following summarizes the preliminary purchase consideration (in thousands): Base cash consideration $ 80,000 Closing adjustment estimate (1,046) Total Purchase Price $ 78,954 The Company preliminarily recorded the fair value of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands): Accounts receivable $ 3,223 Inventories 6,824 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 223 Property, plant and equipment, net 143 Operating lease right-of-use assets 76 Intangible assets 36,300 Other assets 3 Total assets acquired 46,792 Accounts payable 3,477 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 288 Current portion of operating lease liabilities 48 Operating lease liabilities, less current portion 28 Total liabilities assumed 3,841 Net assets acquired 42,951 Goodwill 36,003 Total Purchase Price $ 78,954 The preliminary values allocated to identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives are as follows: Identifiable intangible assets Fair Value (in thousands) Useful life (in Years) Customer relationships $ 3,200 10 Tradenames 33,100 25 $ 36,300 Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and expected future market opportunities. The entire amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes pursuant to IRC Section 197 over a 15 year period. The Company’s preliminary allocation of purchase price was based upon preliminary valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date and is subject to adjustments for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition to reflect final valuations. The accounting for the Swerve acquisition is not complete as the valuation for certain acquired assets and liabilities have not been finalized.These final valuations of the assets and liabilities could have a material impact on the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed above. Pro Forma Financial Information —The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations for the Company as though the Business Combination and Swerve acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019 (in thousands): Pro Forma Statements of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Revenue $ 305,544 $ 302,991 Net loss (1) $ (18,729) $ (5,705) (1) 2019 includes transaction bonuses and related payroll taxes of $11.9 million for the Predecessor and $21.1 million for Swerve employees. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include any costs related to the Business Combination and Swerve acquisition. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not assume any impacts from revenue, cost or other operating synergies that could be generated as a result of the acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated on January 1, 2019. The Successor and Predecessor periods have been combined in the pro forma for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and include adjustments to reflect intangible asset amortization based on the economic values derived from definite-lived intangible assets, interest expense on the new debt financing, depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment that has been adjusted to fair value, and the release of the inventory fair value adjustments into cost of goods sold. These adjustments are net of taxes. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | NOTE 3: LEASES The Company measured Merisant and Mafco’s legacy lease agreements as if the leases were new at the date of the Business Combination and applied the provisions of ASC Topic 842. This resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $15.2 million as of June 26, 2020. The right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities at June 26, 2020 also included approximately $0.3 million related to one lease that Act II had applied the provisions of ASC Topic 842 to effective January 1, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment that reduced the right-of-use assets by $2.7 million to adjust the value of the leases to market value. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company also applied the provisions of Topic 842 to one lease acquired in the Swerve acquisition. All leases are classified as operating leases. The Company’s lease portfolio includes a factory building, office space, warehouses, material handling equipment, vehicles and office equipment. Certain leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Some leases include variable payments that are based on the usage and occupancy of the leased asset. The Company has elected not to record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less on the balance sheet. For real estate and vehicle leases, the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease from non-lease components within the contract. Electing this practical expedient means the Company accounts for each lease component and the related non-lease component together as a single component. For equipment leases, the Company has not elected this practical expedient and separates the non-lease components from the lease component. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020 was $2.3 million. Lease expense under prior lease accounting rules for the period of January 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020 and the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2.2 million, $5.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The Company subleases some of its unused office space to third parties. These subleases generated sublease income of $0.3 million for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020, $0.3 million from January 1, 2020 through June 25, 2020 and $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years-ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table presents the future maturities of the Company’s lease obligations as of December 31, 2020 (in thousands): 2021 $ 4,119 2022 3,611 2023 3,512 2024 1,919 2025 1,417 Thereafter 1,546 Total lease payments 16,124 Less: imputed interest (1,177) Total operating lease liabilities $ 14,947 The weighted-average remaining lease term is 4.6 years and the weighted-average discount rate is 3.42%. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of the lease liability and for supplemental non-cash information for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020 was $1.7 million. The following table presents the Company’s future minimum lease payments under ASC Topic 840 as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands): 2020 $ 3,224 2021 2,845 2022 2,608 2023 2,354 2024 968 Thereafter 2,195 Less: sublease rental income (3,683) Total $ 10,511 |

The remaining intangible assets subject to amortization as of December 31, 2020, have a weighted-average remaining useful life of approximately 20 years. The Successor’s amortization expense for intangible assets was $6.0 million for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Predecessor’s amortization expense for intangible assets was $4.9 million, $10.7 million and $11.1 million for the periods from January 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense relating to amortizable intangible assets as of December 31, 2020 for the next five years is expected to be as follows (in thousands): 2021 $ 11,195 2022 11,195 2023 11,195 2024 11,195 2025 10,961 The changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were as follows (in thousands): Branded CPG Flavors & Ingredients Total Balance as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (Predecessor) $ 88,849 $ 42,021 $ 130,870 Impairment (11,100) (6,600) (17,700) Balance at June 25, 2020 (Predecessor) $ 77,749 $ 35,421 $ 113,170 Purchase accounting adjustments 40,779 (31,747) 9,032 Balance at June 26, 2020 (Successor) $ 118,528 $ 3,674 $ 122,202 Acquisition of Swerve 36,003 — 36,003 Currency translation adjustment (4,208) (460) (4,668) Balance at December 31, 2020 (Successor) $ 150,323 $ 3,214 $ 153,537 Impairment of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets —As disclosed in Note 1, the Company reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, in accordance with ASC Topic 350. During the first quarter of 2020, the on-going macroeconomic disruption and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact on enterprise valuations across sectors, represented events which could indicate that the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of the Predecessor may not be recoverable. As a result, the Predecessor performed an interim impairment assessment at March 31, 2020. In performing the quantitative assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the estimated fair value was determined under an income approach using the discounted cash flow method which requires assumptions related to projected operating results and a discount rate using a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. The main assumptions supporting the cash flow projections included revenue growth, EBIT margins and discount rate. The financial projections reflected management’s best estimate of economic and market conditions over the projected period including forecasted revenue growth, EBIT margins, tax rate, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, changes in working capital requirements and the terminal growth rate. It was determined that the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets at Flavors & Ingredients exceeded their fair value and an impairment charge of $22.9 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2020. For the interim impairment assessment of goodwill as of March 31, 2020, the Predecessor utilized a market approach to estimate fair value based upon the then proposed purchase price of the Business Combination from a willing buyer in an active open market transaction. As a result of the interim quantitative impairment assessment, the carrying value of the Mafco Worldwide and Merisant reporting units exceeded their fair value by $6.6 million and $11.1 million, respectively, and a goodwill impairment charge of $17.7 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2020. In both the fourth quarters of 2020 and 2019, the Company performed its annual impairment tests on goodwill and product formulations using a qualitative assessment and concluded that it was more likely than not that their fair values exceeded their respective carrying values and therefore, did not result in an impairment. |

Loans outstanding under the first lien term loan facility and the first lien revolving credit facility accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR subject to a floor of 1% plus a margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.75% or, at Company’s option, a base rate subject to a floor of 2% plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%, depending on the achievement of certain leverage ratios. Undrawn amounts under the first lien revolving credit facility are expected to accrue a commitment fee at a rate per annum of 0.40% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments thereunder, with step downs to 0.30% upon achievement of certain leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2020, there were $2.1 million of outstanding letters of credit that reduced the Company’s availability under the revolving credit facility. Additionally, approximately $1.9 million of issuance costs allocated to the revolving credit facility were capitalized as an asset as of June 30, 2020 and are being amortized ratably over the commitment period of five years. There were $47.9 million in borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2020. The Company converted the base rate term loan to a LIBOR loan on July 1, 2020 at an interest rate of 4.50%. Borrowings under the Loan Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, and the Loan Agreement includes restrictive qualitative and quantitative covenants. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Loan Agreement on December 31, 2020. The unpaid principal amount of the term loan is payable in quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter commencing on September 30, 2020. The payment for each of the first 12 fiscal quarters is equal to 1.25% of the beginning principal amount, or $1.75 million, and for the following seven fiscal quarters thereafter is 2.50%, or $3.5 million. The remaining principal payment on the term loan is due upon maturity. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | NOTE 8: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company measures and records in its consolidated and combined financial statements certain assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). This hierarchy consists of the following three levels: • Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. • Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs other than those included in Level 1, including quoted market prices in markets that are not active; quoted prices of assets or liabilities with similar attributes in active markets; or valuation models whose inputs are observable or unobservable but corroborated by market data. • Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on valuation models or pricing techniques that utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement. Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Current Assets and Other Financial Assets and Liabilities— Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable are measured at carrying value, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Debt— The Company measures its first lien term loan and revolving facilities at original carrying value including accrued interest, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees. The fair value of the credit facilities approximates carrying value, as they consist of variable rate loans. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is subject to various claims, pending and possible legal actions for product liability and other damages, and other matters arising out of the conduct of the business. The Company believes, based on current knowledge and consultation with counsel, that the outcome of such claims and actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated and combined financial position or results of operations. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had obligations to purchase $29.6 million of raw materials through 2025; however, it is unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the timing of such payments. In addition, the Company has commitments under purchase obligations related to market data research, technology services and capital projects totaling $1.9 million. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES For the Successor period, the Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S., state and local, and foreign taxes. The Company has significant operations in various locations outside the U.S. The annual effective tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations at their applicable statutory tax rates. For the Predecessor period, income taxes as presented herein attribute current and deferred income taxes of the Company’s financial statements in a manner that is systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and liability method described by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Accordingly, the Company’s income tax provision during the predecessor period was prepared following the separate return method. The separate return method applies ASC 740 to the stand-alone financial statements of each member of the combined group as if the group member were a separate taxpayer and a stand-alone enterprise. Use of the separate return method may result in differences when the sum of the amounts allocated to stand-alone tax provisions are compared with amounts presented in the combined financial statements. In that event, the related deferred tax assets and liabilities could be significantly different from those presented herein. The combined financial statements reflect the Company’s portion of income taxes payable as if the Company had been a separate taxpayer. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The CARES Act made various tax law changes including among other things (i) increased the limitation under IRC Section 163(j) for 2019 and 2020 to permit additional expensing of interest (ii) enacted a technical correction so that qualified improvement property can be immediately expensed under IRC Section 168(k) (iii) made modifications to the federal net operating loss rules including permitting federal net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to the five preceding taxable years in order to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes and (iv) enhanced recoverability of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. The income tax provisions of the CARES Act had limited applicability to the Company and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated and combined financial statements. Components of income tax (benefit) provision were as follows (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Current: Federal $ (969) $ 51 $ 1,972 $ 4,789 State and local 54 16 197 134 Foreign 1,139 2,029 5,865 6,449 224 2,096 8,034 11,372 Deferred: Federal (2,192) (4,262) (1,802) (5,148) State and local 138 (259) 336 (1,006) Foreign (788) (1,057) (9,034) 94 (2,842) (5,578) (10,500) (6,060) Total (benefit) provision for income taxes $ (2,618) $ (3,482) $ (2,466) $ 5,312 The following is a reconciliation of income tax (benefit) provision computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate to income tax (benefit) provision in the consolidated and combined statements of operations (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 (Loss) income before income taxes: Domestic $ (18,981) $ (49,477) $ 10,859 $ (6,021) Foreign 7,926 11,859 17,487 32,174 Total (loss) income before income taxes $ (11,055) $ (37,618) $ 28,346 $ 26,153 Federal income tax rate 21.0% 21.0% 21.0% 21.0% Tax provision at federal statutory rate $ (2,322) $ (7,900) $ 5,953 $ 5,492 State and local taxes 1,812 (278) 426 (879) Foreign rate differential (70) (125) 789 1,533 Change in tax rates 735 — (2,209) (53) Changes in uncertain tax positions 40 (651) 64 (100) Change in valuation allowance (1,474) 883 588 (1,957) Goodwill impairment — 3,717 — — Impact of Luxembourg restructuring — — (6,438) — U.S. effects of international operations 320 2,084 3,079 6,136 Tax credits (2,161) (1,201) (5,233) (5,498) Other 502 (11) 515 638 Total (benefit) provision for income taxes $ (2,618) $ (3,482) $ (2,466) $ 5,312 Effective tax rate 23.7% 9.3% (8.7)% 20.3% Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable $ 473 $ 695 Accrued expenses 3,838 2,065 Inventory 5,231 4,102 Other assets 160 1,008 Deferred rent — 427 Pension asset 348 1,783 Property, plant and equipment — 864 Lease accounting 3,360 — U.S. and foreign net operating losses 13,998 15,014 Tax credits 254 2,345 Total deferred tax assets 27,662 28,303 Less valuation allowance (9,879) (12,409) Net deferred tax assets $ 17,783 $ 15,894 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment (4,678) — Operating lease right-of-use asset (2,747) — Intangible assets (24,266) (38,451) Deferred rent (78) — Unremitted earnings (719) (1,207) Other liabilities (5,921) (6,406) Total deferred tax liabilities (38,409) (46,064) Net deferred tax liability $ (20,626) $ (30,170) As of December 31, 2020 the Company recorded a reduction to deferred tax liabilities of approximately $2.9 million in connection with the business combination accounting with an offset to goodwill. In assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, management considers whether it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of any net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The Company evaluates all positive and negative evidence when determining the amount of the net deferred tax assets that are more likely than not to be realized. This evidence includes, but is not limited to, prior earnings history, reversal of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. Based on the weight of available evidence including the scheduling of taxable temporary differences into future taxable income, the Company has determined that as of December 31, 2020 its deferred tax assets are realizable on a more-likely-than not basis with the exception of foreign tax credits of $0.2 million, certain state net operating loss carry forwards of $7.1 million predominately related to Illinois, and $2.5 million of net operating loss carry forwards in India, Luxembourg, Mexico and China. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards and tax credits which will expire if not utilized, including: $98.1 million in Illinois state net operating losses expiring between 2021 and 2033, $0.3 million of U.S. federal foreign tax credits expiring in 2030, $2.9 million of net operating losses in Mexico substantially expiring in 2025 and through 2030, $4.8 million of net operating losses in Luxembourg substantially expiring in 2035 and through 2037, $2.8 million of net operating losses in India expiring between 2022 and 2028, and $0.8 million of net operating losses in China expiring in 2022 through 2026. Notwithstanding the current taxation of certain foreign subsidiaries under GILTI and one-time transition taxation enacted as part of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, the Company intends to continue to invest these earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. If these future earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company determines that such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, the Company may be required to accrue U.S. deferred taxes (if any) and applicable withholding taxes. It is not practicable to estimate the tax impact of the reversal of the outside basis difference, or the repatriation of cash due to the complexity of its hypothetical calculation. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company has accrued future income taxes and withholding taxes for future remittances to its Switzerland and Hong Kong affiliates of $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The following summarizes the changes in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax positions (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Beginning of period $ 539 $ 895 $ 986 Settlements — (291) (92) Currency differences 70 (65) 1 End of period $ 609 $ 539 $ 895 The unrecognized tax benefits in both the successor and predecessor periods include amounts related to various foreign tax issues. The Company records both accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. The Company’s accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions totaled $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2020, June 25, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Of the amounts reflected in the table above as of December 31, 2020, the entire amount if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company expects that approximately $0.4 million of its unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized in the next 12 months. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax periods are generally open to examination for the tax years 2016 through 2020. The Company’s French, Argentina, Luxembourg and Swiss tax years 2015 through 2020 also remain open for examination. In addition, open tax years related to the Company’s other foreign jurisdictions remain subject to examination but are not considered material. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
PENSION AND OTHER RETIREMENTS BENEFITS | NOTE 11: PENSION AND OTHER RETIREMENT BENEFITS Certain current and former employees of the Company are covered under a funded qualified defined benefit retirement plan. Plan provisions covering certain of the Company’s salaried employees generally provide pension benefits based on years of service and compensation. Plan provisions covering certain of the Company’s union members generally provide stated benefits for each year of credited service. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually the statutory required amount as actuarially determined. The Company froze the pension plan on December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company has unfunded non-qualified plans covering certain salaried employees with additional retirement benefits in excess of qualified plan limits imposed by federal tax law. The Company uses December 31 as a measurement date for the plans. The following table reconciles the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Accumulated benefit obligations $ 41,112 $ 39,792 $ 37,847 Changes in projected benefit obligations: Projected benefit obligations at beginning of year $ 39,879 $ 37,854 $ 34,000 Service cost 94 41 692 Interest cost 545 593 1,410 Actuarial loss 1,568 1,826 5,236 Benefits paid (974) (435) (1,019) Liability gain due to curtailment — — (2,465) Projected benefit obligations at end of year 41,112 39,879 37,854 Change in plans’ assets: Fair value of plans’ assets at beginning of year 30,674 30,213 25,800 Actual returns on plans’ assets 3,195 732 5,112 Employee contributions 163 163 320 Benefits paid (974) (434) (1,019) Fair value of plans’ assets at end of year 33,058 30,674 30,213 Net pension liability $ (8,054) $ (9,205) $ (7,641) The projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2020, June 25, 2020 and December 31, 2019 included $10.3 million, $9.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively, related to the Company’s unfunded non-qualified plans.

The rate of increase in future compensation assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook. The Company considers a number of factors to determine its expected rates of return on the assets in its plan, including, without limitation, historical performance of the plan assets, investment style, asset allocations and other third-party studies and surveys. The Company considered the plan portfolio’s asset allocation over a variety of time periods and compared them with third-party studies and reviewed performance of the capital markets in recent years and other factors and advice from various third parties, such as the pension plan’s advisors, investment managers and actuaries. While the Company considered recent performance and the historical performance of its plan assets, the Company’s assumptions are based primarily on its estimates of long-term, prospective rates of return. Differences between actual and expected asset returns are recognized in the net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of the active participating employees. Plan Assets —The investment committee for the Company’s plan has adopted (and revises from time to time) investment policies with the objective of meeting and exceeding over time, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumptions, weighted against a reasonable risk level and considering the appropriate liquidity levels. In connection with this objective, the investment committee retains a professional investment consultant as an advisor. Based upon the investment consultant’s advice, in 2020 and 2019 the plan’s assets were mainly invested in mutual funds, common and collective funds, corporate bonds, government bonds, private equity funds, as well as a real estate fund, in order to achieve the Company’s goals to enhance the expected returns of its investments together with their liquidity and protect the plan’s funded status. The plan currently has the following target ranges for these asset classes as shown below. The ranges are intended to allow flexibility for allocating assets and rebalancing as needed depending on changes in market values and the investment environment. The strategy utilized is regularly reviewed by the plan’s investment committee, which may decide to make adjustments to the allocations when allocations fall outside the asset class range. Target Ranges Asset classes: Cash equivalents and other 0% - 17% Fixed income securities 45% - 100% Equity securities 0% - 28% The following tables set forth, by category, the Company’s pension plan assets as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, using the fair value hierarchy established under ASC Topic 820 and as described in Note 8. The fair value hierarchy in the tables excludes certain investments which are valued using Net Asset Value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient (in thousands): Pension Plan Assets as of December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Pension plan assets measured at fair value: Cash and cash equivalents $ 419 $ — $ — $ 419 Mutual funds 5,374 442 — 5,816 U.S. Government securities — 3,087 — 3,087 Municipal/provincial bonds — 296 — 296 Corporate bonds — 13,408 — 13,408 Total pension plan assets measured at fair value $ 5,793 $ 17,233 $ — $ 23,026 Pension plan assets measured at NAV as a practical expedient (1) 10,032 Total pension plan assets $ 33,058 (1) Certain common/collective trusts, investments in private equity funds and investments in real estate funds that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total value of plan assets. Pension Plan Assets as of December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Pension plan assets measured at fair value: Cash and cash equivalents $ 398 $ — $ — $ 398 Mutual funds 4,996 457 — 5,453 U.S. Government securities — 2,697 — 2,697 Municipal/provincial bonds — 322 — 322 Corporate bonds — 12,578 — 12,578 Total pension plan assets measured at fair value $ 5,394 $ 16,054 $ — 21,448 Pension plan assets measured at NAV as a practical expedient (1) 8,765 Total pension plan assets $ 30,213 (1) Certain common/collective trusts, investments in private equity funds and investments in real estate funds that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total value of plan assets. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair market value. Mutual funds are valued at their net asset value quoted in active markets. Common and collective funds, as well as investments in private equity funds, are valued at net asset value as reported by the fund administrator. Within mutual funds and common and collective funds, the assets are invested in a broad range of publicly traded equity securities and publicly traded debt securities ranging from domestic and international treasury issues, corporate debt securities, government agencies debt securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed issues, in accordance with the plan’s investment policies. Corporate and government bonds are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished by a pricing service, which determines valuations for normal, institutional size-trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities. Exchange traded funds, which are investment portfolios that hold a collection of marketable securities designed to track the performance of a specific index (like the S&P 500), are valued at the market price quoted on the particular stock exchange where they are traded. There were no transfers between levels within the three-tier fair value hierarchy in 2020 and 2019. Contributions —The Company currently does not expect to make contributions to its funded defined benefit pension plan in 2020 due to the funded status and the December 31, 2019 plan freeze. Expected Future Benefit Payments —The projected benefit payments for the funded qualified and unfunded non-qualified defined benefit pension plans are as follows (in thousands): Qualified Pension Plan Non-qualified Pension Plans 2021 $ 968 $ 374 2022 1,090 387 2023 1,235 502 2024 1,495 511 2025 1,233 517 2026-2030 7,233 2,920 The Company also participates in certain state-sponsored defined benefit plans covering certain non-U.S. employees with total net liabilities of $3.3 million and $2.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | NOTE 14: EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Warrants issued are not considered outstanding at the date of issuance. RSUs and RSAs also are not considered outstanding until they have vested. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution. Dilutive common shares outstanding is computed using the treasury stock method and reflects the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive warrants were exercised and restricted stock units and restricted stock awards were settled for common shares during the period. For the period from June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020, 20,263,500 warrants were excluded from the calculation as these warrants were anti-dilutive. For the period from June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020, 633,057 RSUs and 68,946 RSAs, each weighted for the portion of the period for which they were outstanding, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as the effect was determined to be anti-dilutive. The computation of basic and diluted loss per common share for the period from June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 is shown below (in thousands, except for share and per share data).

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 16: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Predecessor participated in MacAndrews & Forbes’ (“MacAndrews”) directors and officer’s insurance program, which covered the Predecessor along with MacAndrews and its other affiliates. The limits of coverage were available on aggregate losses to any or all of the participating companies and their respective directors and officers. For the period of January 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Predecessor reimbursed MacAndrews an immaterial amount for its allocable portion of the premiums for such coverage, which the Predecessor believed was more favorable than the premiums that it could have secured were it to secure its own coverage. The Predecessor also participated in certain other insurance programs with MacAndrews under which it paid premiums directly to the insurance broker. In March 2018, the Predecessor entered into a revolving credit agreement with Wesco US LLC, an indirect and wholly-owned subsidiary of Merisant. This revolving credit facility, as amended, had a maturity date of January 3, 2022 and provided for maximum outstanding borrowings of up to $9.0 million. The revolving credit facility was unsecured and bore interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 4.0% and provided for periodic interest payments with all principal due upon maturity. MacAndrews had the right to accept or reject any borrowing request made by the Predecessor pursuant to the revolving credit agreement in its sole discretion. The outstanding balance on the revolving credit agreement at June 25, 2020 was $3.4 million and was forgiven by MacAndrews in connection with the Business Combination. Outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2019 were $8.4 million and the interest rate at December 31, 2019 was 5.95%.

WSO Investments is the direct parent of its wholly-owned subsidiary Wholesome Sweeteners, Incorporated, which was formed to import, market, distribute, and sell organic sugars, unrefined specialty sugars, and related products. On February 5, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the Wholesome Purchase Agreement, (i) the Company (acting through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Project Taste Intermediate LLC, as its designee) purchased and acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock for an initial cash purchase price of $180 million plus up to an additional $55 million (the “Earn-Out Amount”) upon the satisfaction of certain post-closing financial metrics. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Wholesome Purchase Agreement payment of the Earn-Out Amount, in whole or in part, is subject to Wholesome achieving certain EBITDA thresholds at or above approximately $30 million during the period beginning August 29, 2020, and ending December 31, 2021.

In connection with the closing of the Wholesome Transaction, on February 5, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment and restatement agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, which amended and restated its existing senior secured loan agreement dated as of June 25, 2020. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for senior secured financing consisting of the following credit facilities: (a) a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $375 million (the “Term Loan Facility”); and (b) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75 million (the “Revolving Facility,” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”).

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Change in Accounting Principle | Change in Accounting Principle —The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (an “EGC”) and as such, has elected the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting pronouncements. During the extended transition period, the Company is not subject to certain new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The accounting pronouncements pending adoption below reflect effective dates for the Company as an EGC with the extended transition period. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-2, “Leases (Topic 842)”, and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance. The new guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases as well as extensive quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The lessee needs to recognize on its balance sheet a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for the majority of its leases (other than leases with a term of less than 12 months). The lease liabilities should be equal to the present value of lease payments not yet paid. The right-of-use asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial indirect costs. For public entities, the updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This standard is effective for the Company as an EGC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Act II adopted the standard as of January 1, 2020. The Company recognized the leases acquired as part of the Business Combination on June 25, 2020, which were recorded pursuant to the aforementioned ASU. Refer to Note 3 for additional details. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-7, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715).” Under the new guidance, employers are required to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same statement of operations caption as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Employers are required to present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the caption that includes the service costs and outside of any subtotal of operating profit and are required to disclose the caption used to present the other components of net periodic benefit cost, if not presented separately on the statement of operations. The Company adopted ASU 2017-7 effective in the second quarter of 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have an effect on the Company’s historically reported net income (loss) but resulted in a presentation reclassification which increased the Company’s historically reported operating profit by $0.1 million for the period from January 1, 2020 to June 25, 2020. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-2, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),” which amends existing standards for income statement-reporting comprehensive income to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statements users. ASU 2018-2 was effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption was permitted. On January 1, 2019, the Predecessor elected to adopt this standard on a full retrospective approach and reclassified $2.1 million from accumulated other comprehensive income within net parent investment. New Accounting Standards —In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” Subject to meeting certain criteria, the new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying contract modification accounting under existing U.S. GAAP, to address the expected phase out of the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) by the end of 2021. The amendments in ASU 2020-4 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The new standard was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The standard removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis difference. The standard also enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance. For public entities, the standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. This standard is effective for the Company as an EGC for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20).” The standard modifies certain disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans by removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifying specific requirements of disclosures, and adding disclosure requirements identified as relevant. This standard is effective for the Company as an EGC for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU 2018-14 should be applied retrospectively to each period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2018-14 on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” The standard requires entities to estimate losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables, debt securities and loans, using an expected credit loss model. The expected credit loss differs from the previous incurred losses model primarily in that the loss recognition threshold of “probable” has been eliminated and that expected loss should consider reasonable and supportable forecasts in addition to the previously considered past events and current conditions. Additionally, the guidance requires additional disclosures related to the further disaggregation of information related to the credit quality of financial assets by year of the asset’s origination for as many as five years. Entities must apply the standard provision as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. This standard is effective for the Company as an EGC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of Whole Earth Brands, Inc., and its indirect and wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated and combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalent s—The Company considers all cash on hand, money market funds, and other highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity, when purchased, of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts —Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable losses in its existing accounts receivable based on historical losses and current economic conditions. Account balances are charged against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously offset against the allowance are recorded in the combined statements of operations when received. |
Inventories | Inventories —Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predicable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The cost of inventory is determined principally by the first in, first out method. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions, improvements, and replacements that extend asset life are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment in service currently ranges as follows: 3 to 40 years for buildings and 1 to 14 years for all other equipment. When property and equipment are disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gains or losses are included in income from operations. Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operating expense as incurred. |
Leases | Leases —As of the date of the Business Combination, the Company accounts for leases pursuant to ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new standard, a right-of-use asset and a lease liability is recorded for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date calculated using our incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease asset, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable. |
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets —Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are summarized in Note 6. The Company reviews goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other.” Under ASC Topic 350, the impairment review of goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization must be based on estimated fair values. The Company’s annual impairment review measurement date is in the fourth quarter of each year. In performing the annual assessment, the Company has the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that a reporting unit has been impaired. As part of the qualitative assessment for the reporting units, the Company evaluates the factors that are specific to the reporting units as well as industry and macroeconomic factors (including changes in interest and discount rates). The reporting unit specific factors may include cost factors, a comparison of current year results to prior year, current year budget and future projected financial performance. The Company also considers the change in the overall enterprise value of the Company compared to the date of the Business Combination. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit is impaired or if the Company elects not to perform the optional qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed utilizing both the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of its reporting units. The income approach involves discounting future estimated cash flows. The discount rate used is the value-weighted average of the reporting unit’s estimated cost of equity and debt (“cost of capital”) derived using both known and estimated customary market metrics. The Company performs sensitivity tests with respect to growth rates and discount rates used in the income approach. In applying the market approach, valuation multiples are derived from historical and projected operating data of selected guideline companies; evaluated and adjusted, if necessary, based on the strengths and weaknesses of the reporting unit relative to the selected guideline companies; and applied to the appropriate historical and/or projected operating data to arrive at an indication of fair value. The Company weights the results of the income and market approaches equally. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, then an impairment is recorded for the difference, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company typically evaluates impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, including our product formulations, by first performing a qualitative assessment. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or determines that it is more likely that not that the fair value of the product formulations is less than its carrying value, a quantitative assessment is then performed using the relief from royalty method under the income approach to estimate the fair value. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair value include the estimated future annual sales, royalty rates (as a percentage of sales that would hypothetically be charged by a licensor of the brand to an unrelated licensee), income tax considerations and a discount rate that reflects the level of risk. |
Impairment Review of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment Review of Long-Lived Assets —In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” the Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group may be impaired. When such events occur, the Company compares the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset or asset group over its remaining depreciable life to the carrying value. If this comparison indicates that there is an impairment, the carrying amount of the long-lived asset would then be reduced to the estimated fair value, which generally approximates discounted cash flows. The Company also evaluates the amortization periods of assets to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company’s applicable long-lived assets include its property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes —The provision for income taxes for the Successor period is determined using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. For the Predecessor period, income taxes as presented herein are attributable to current and deferred income taxes of the Company’s financial statements in a manner that is systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and liability method described by ASC Topic 740. Accordingly, the Company’s income tax provision during the predecessor period was prepared following the separate return method. The separate return method applies ASC Topic 740 to the stand-alone financial statements of each member of the combined group as if the group member were a separate taxpayer and a stand-alone enterprise. Use of the separate return method may result in differences when the sum of the amounts allocated to stand-alone tax provisions are compared with amounts presented in the combined financial statements. In that event, the related deferred tax assets and liabilities could be significantly different from those presented herein. The combined financial statements reflect the Company’s portion of income taxes payable as if the Company had been a separate taxpayer. The Company made a policy election to treat the income tax due on United States (“U.S.”) inclusion of the global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions as a period expense when incurred. Uncertainty in Income Taxes —The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued under ASC Topic 740, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company provides loss contingencies for federal, state and international tax matters relating to potential tax examination issues, planning initiatives and compliance responsibilities. The development of these reserves requires judgements about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing, which if different, may materially impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company classifies interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of provision (benefit) for income taxes in the consolidated and combined statements of operations. |
Pension Plans | Pension Plans —The Company has defined benefit pension plans and a defined contribution 401(k) plan, which cover certain current and former employees of the Company who meet eligibility requirements. Benefits for the defined benefit pension plans are based on years of service and, in some cases, the employee’s compensation and participation was frozen to all employees hired on or after August 1, 2017. The Company’s policy is to contribute annually the amount required pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The Company froze the pension plan for all participants on December 31, 2019. Certain subsidiaries of the Company outside the U.S. have retirement plans that provide certain payments upon retirement. The Company recognizes in its balance sheet the funded status of its defined benefit pension plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation and recognizes changes in the funded status of the defined benefit pension plans as accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, within net parent investment to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost (see Note 11). |
Self-Insurance | Self-Insurance—The Company is self-insured for certain workers’ compensation. Provisions for losses expected under the program are recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liabilities for the claims incurred. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation—In accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation,” the Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost in its consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date for equity-classified awards and at the end of each reporting period for liability-classified awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition —Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, and all related amendments, which provides updated accounting guidance on recognizing revenue. This updated accounting guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to utilize to recognize revenue when they transfer goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that will be received in exchange for the goods or services. The Company adopted this new accounting guidance using the modified retrospective method. There was no impact to the combined balance sheets or the combined statements of operations and comprehensive income as of January 1, 2018 for the adoption of the standards update. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price sales taxes and all other items of a similar nature, and also elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment of the promise to transfer the goods. Accordingly, shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales. The terms and conditions of sale under the supply agreements and/or purchase orders for Merisant call for FOB Destination and FOB Origin shipping terms with its customers. The customer payment terms are usually 40 days from invoice date. The terms and conditions of sale under the supply agreements and/or purchase orders for Mafco Worldwide have various shipping terms with its customers depending upon the customer requests. The customer payment terms range from 30 – 120 days from invoice date based upon geographic location of the customer. Merisant usually offers promotional activities (e.g. coupons, trade discounts and other promotional activities) to the customers. These variable consideration amounts are estimated for each customer based on specific arrangement/agreement, an analysis of historical volume and/or current activity with that customer. Reassessment of variable consideration estimates is done at each reporting date throughout the contract period until the uncertainty is resolved (e.g. promotional campaign is closed and settled with customer). Historically, the Company has encountered limited instances whereby customers rejected products as a result of orders being materially inaccurate and/or products being defective. The Company tracks the reason codes for those customer returns. Based on that, the materiality of such returns is assessed. A return reserve is calculated (based on historical data as described above) every month to record an adjustment to net sales; these adjustments have not been significant. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by product categories (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Sweeteners and adjacencies $ 96,857 $ 80,749 $ 165,863 $ 173,759 Licorice products 50,311 47,579 106,260 117,206 Total product revenues, net $ 147,168 $ 128,328 $ 272,123 $ 290,965 The following table presents revenues disaggregated by business and geographic region (in thousands): (Successor) (Predecessor) From June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 From January 1, 2020 to Year Ended December 31, 2019 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Branded CPG: North America $ 40,273 $ 29,926 $ 59,945 $ 59,007 Europe, Middle East and Africa 41,855 35,360 75,974 81,978 Asia-Pacific 8,428 9,584 17,772 17,035 Latin America 6,301 5,879 12,172 15,739 Flavors & Ingredients 50,311 47,579 106,260 117,206 Total product revenues, net $ 147,168 $ 128,328 $ 272,123 $ 290,965 The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts as an estimate of the inability of its customers to make their required payments. The determination of the allowance requires the Company to make assumptions about the future ability to collect amounts owed from customers. |
Marketing Costs | Marketing Costs —The Company promotes its products with marketing activities, including advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. On an annual basis, advertising costs are expensed as incurred or in the year in which the related advertisement initially appears. Advertising expense was $6.2 million for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020, $4.8 million from January 1, 2020 through June 25, 2020, $11.9 million in 2019 and $16.1 million in 2018. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments —The Company measures fair value using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity. The Company measures its term loan and revolving facilities at original carrying value including accrued interest, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees. The fair value of the credit facilities approximates carrying value, as they consist of variable rate loans. The Company measures and records in its consolidated and combined financial statements certain assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs). This hierarchy consists of the following three levels: • Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. • Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on inputs other than those included in Level 1, including quoted market prices in markets that are not active; quoted prices of assets or liabilities with similar attributes in active markets; or valuation models whose inputs are observable or unobservable but corroborated by market data. • Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on valuation models or pricing techniques that utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement. Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Current Assets and Other Financial Assets and Liabilities— Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable are measured at carrying value, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. Debt— The Company measures its first lien term loan and revolving facilities at original carrying value including accrued interest, net of unamortized deferred financing costs and fees. The fair value of the credit facilities approximates carrying value, as they consist of variable rate loans. |
Major Customers and Credit Concentration | Major Customers and Credit Concentration —The Company sells products to customers in the U.S. and internationally. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers, and generally does not require collateral on trade accounts receivable. Allowances are maintained for potential credit losses and such losses have been within management’s expectations. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation —The Company has determined that the functional currency for each combined subsidiary is its local currency, except for certain entities whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities of entities outside the U.S. are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each period and income statement accounts are translated at each period’s average exchange rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet, except for any entities which may operate in highly inflationary economies. Gains and losses resulting from transactions in other than functional currencies are reflected in operating results, except for transactions of a long-term nature. Remeasurements of European entities whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar as well as translation adjustments for entities operating in highly inflationary economies and impacts of foreign currency transactions are recognized currently in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. The Company had foreign exchange losses, net of $0.9 million for the period from June 26, 2020 through December 31, 2020, foreign exchange gains, net of $0.5 million from January 1, 2020 through June 25, 2020, and foreign exchange losses, net of $2.0 million in 2019 and $1.9 million in 2018. Beginning January 1, 2019, the Company was required to apply highly-inflationary accounting to its Argentinian subsidiary. This accounting treatment requires a change in the subsidiary’s functional currency from the local currency (Argentinian Peso) to the parent’s reporting currency (USD). This highly-inflationary classification results from the fact that the cumulative inflation rate for the preceding 3 year period exceeded 100 percent as of June 30, 2018. When the Company changed the functional currency, it revalued the subsidiary’s financial statements as if the new functional currency (USD) were the reporting currency. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2019, all Argentinian Peso denominated monetary assets and liabilities are considered foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and are revalued to USD (the functional currency) with remeasurement adjustments in the period recorded in the statement of operations. The USD will be the functional currency until the economic environment in Argentina ceases to be considered highly-inflationary. |
Derivatives Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments —The Company periodically uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the exposure of effects on net cash flows due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company recognizes these derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized immediately in earnings. The foreign currency forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year. The Company did not enter into any forward exchange contracts in 2020 and the effect of forward exchange contracts were not material in 2019 and 2018. |
Restructuring and Employee Termination Benefits | Restructuring and Employee Termination Benefits —During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company adopted restructuring plans to streamline processes and realize cost savings by consolidating facilities and eliminating various positions in operations and general and administrative areas. In connection with the restructuring plans, the Company recognized employee termination benefits of $1.1 million for the period from June 26, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and $0.6 million and $3.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Employee termination benefits related to the restructuring plans are recorded in restructuring and other expenses in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. All of the charges related to the 2019 program were paid as of December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company recorded facility exit and other related costs of $0.8 million and $1.9 million during 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to Branded CPG, and $0.8 million and $4.5 million during 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to Flavors & Ingredients. The Company did not recognize any facility exit and other related costs during 2020. Facility exit and other related costs are recorded in restructuring and other expenses on the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. |
