2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | ||||||||
On October 1, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 15, 2010, among NBTY, Alphabet Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings") formed by an affiliate of TC Group, L.L.C. (d/b/a The Carlyle Group) and Alphabet Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings ("Merger Sub") formed solely for the purpose of entering into the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into NBTY with NBTY as the surviving corporation (also referred herein as the "Merger" or the "Acquisition"). As a result of the Merger, NBTY became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. See Note 3 for further information. | ||||||||
Merger Sub was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes and therefore, the Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interests. Accordingly, the purchase price of the Acquisition has been allocated to the Company's assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. | ||||||||
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||
Effective July 2, 2012, Julian Graves Limited was placed into administration under the laws of the United Kingdom and Wales, and this former subsidiary is reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. During the course of the administration, attempts to sell the business were unsuccessful and the operations were wound down by the end of August 2012. The operations of this subsidiary were previously reported in the European Retail segment. | ||||||||
Effective August 31, 2012, we sold certain assets and liabilities of Le Naturiste, Inc., and have reported this former subsidiary as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. The operations of this subsidiary were previously reported in the North American Retail segment. | ||||||||
All amounts related to discontinued operations are excluded from the notes to the consolidated financial statement unless otherwise indicated. See Note 5 for additional information about discontinued operations. | ||||||||
Estimates | ||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our most significant estimates include: sales returns, promotions and other allowances; inventory valuation and obsolescence; valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and accruals for the outcome of current litigation. | ||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||||
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||
We recognize product revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement to deliver a product, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The delivery terms for most sales within the wholesale and direct response segments are F.O.B. destination. Generally, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer at the time the product is received by the customer. With respect to retail store operations, we recognize revenue upon the sale of products to customers. Net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges for discounts, returns and other promotional program incentive allowances. | ||||||||
Sales Returns and Other Allowances | ||||||||
Allowance for sales returns: Estimates for sales returns are based on a variety of factors, including actual return experience of specific products or similar products. We are able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on our 40 year history in this business. We also review our estimates for product returns based on expected return data communicated to us by customers. Additionally, we monitor the levels of inventory at our largest customers to avoid excessive customer stocking of merchandise. Allowances for returns of new products are estimated by reviewing data of any prior relevant new product return information. We also monitor the buying patterns of the end-users of our products based on sales data received by our retail outlets in North America and Europe. | ||||||||
Promotional program incentive allowances: We estimate our allowance for promotional program incentives based upon specific outstanding marketing programs and historical experience. The allowance for sales incentives offered to customers is based on various contractual terms or other arrangements agreed to in advance with certain customers. Generally, customers earn such incentives as specified sales volumes are achieved. We accrue these incentives as a reduction to sales either at the time of sale or over the period of time in which they are earned, depending on the nature of the program. | ||||||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts: We perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by our review of current credit information. We estimate bad debt expense based upon historical experience as well as specifically identified customer collection issues to adjust the carrying amount of the related receivable to its estimated realizable value. | ||||||||

$ | 98,848 | $ | 87,449 | |||||
Inventories | ||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in first-out method) or market. The cost elements of inventories include materials, labor and overhead. In evaluating whether inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, we consider such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and current and expected market conditions, including levels of competition. Based on this evaluation, we record an adjustment to cost of goods sold to reduce inventories to net realizable value. | ||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment | ||||||||
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures which significantly improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the asset's remaining useful life. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term. Upon sale or disposition, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in earnings. | ||||||||
Capitalized Software Costs | ||||||||
We capitalize certain costs related to the acquisition and development of software for internal use and amortize these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software. These costs are included in property, plant and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. | ||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | ||||||||
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. We consider the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) a history of cash flow losses at retail stores; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets in our overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; and (v) regulatory changes. Our annual impairment testing date is as of July 1, the first day of our fourth quarter. No impairment adjustments were deemed necessary based on our evaluations. We use a combination of the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. A 10% change in the estimate of fair value would not have impacted our assessment. | ||||||||
Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. We use a combination of the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. For our indefinite-lived intangible assets, if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. | ||||||||
The fair value of our trademarks is determined based on the relief from royalty method under the income approach, which requires us to estimate a reasonable royalty rate, identify relevant projected revenues and expenses, and select an appropriate discount rate. The evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment requires management to use significant judgments and estimates including, but not limited to, projected future net sales, operating results, and cash flow of our business. | ||||||||
We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable at the time, but such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. If actual external conditions or future operating results differ from our judgments, this may result in an impairment of our goodwill and/or intangible assets. An impairment charge would reduce operating income in the period it was determined that the charge was needed. | ||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||||||||
We evaluate the need for an impairment charge relating to long-lived assets, including definite lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to its expected future net cash flows generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount is compared to its fair value and an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference. On a quarterly basis, we assess whether events or changes in circumstances occur that potentially indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate projected future operating cash flows. Accordingly, if actual results fall short of such estimates, significant future impairments could result. | ||||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We estimate the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined that such assets will, more likely than not, go unused. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reversed. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in these jurisdictions. We believe adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. | ||||||||
Accruals for Litigation and Other Contingencies | ||||||||
We are subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to various matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. We determine the amount of reserves needed, if any, for each individual issue based on our knowledge and experience and discussions with legal counsel. These reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter (including the enactment of new laws), the ultimate resolution of each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy. In some instances, we may be unable to make a reasonable estimate of the liabilities that may result from the final resolution of certain contingencies disclosed and accordingly, no reserve is recorded until such time that a reasonable estimate may be made. | ||||||||
Shipping and Handling Costs | ||||||||
We incur shipping and handling costs in all divisions of our operations. These costs, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income, were $92,062, $85,784 and $80,072 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $14,050, $13,831 and $16,660 have been billed to customers and are included in net sales for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | ||||||||
Advertising, Promotion and Catalog | ||||||||
We expense the production costs of advertising as incurred, except for the cost of mail order catalogs, which are capitalized and amortized over our expected period of future benefit, which typically approximates two months. Capitalized costs for mail order catalogs at September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $740 and $477, respectively. Total mail order catalog expense was $7,713, $9,378 and $10,395 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included in advertising, promotion and catalog in the consolidated statements of income. | ||||||||
Foreign Currency | ||||||||
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into US dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts and cash flows using average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholder's equity. | ||||||||
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | ||||||||
All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measurement of those instruments is at fair value. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are reported in earnings or other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the designation of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. For derivatives that have been formally designated as cash flow hedges (interest rate swap agreements), the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when interest expense on the underlying borrowings is recognized. For hedges of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries (cross currency swap agreements), changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. | ||||||||
Recent Accounting Developments | ||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). This new guidance requires entities to present (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes hereto) the effects on the line items of the income statement for amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The new guidance has been effective for us beginning October 1, 2013. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the Company does not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption. | ||||||||
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning on October 1, 2014. We do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption. | ||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance which amends the guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and allows for the reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward whenever the net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | ||||||||

3. Carlyle Merger | |
On October 1, 2010, an affiliate of The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle") completed its Acquisition of NBTY for $55.00 per share of NBTY's common stock, or $3,570,191, plus the repayment of NBTY's historical debt of $427,367 (which includes accrued interest and a redemption premium on the notes) and net of cash acquired of $361,609 (which includes restricted cash collateral of $15,126) for a total net purchase price of $3,635,949. The purchase price was funded through the net proceeds from our $1,750,000 senior credit facilities, the issuance of $650,000 senior notes and a cash equity contribution from Holdings. | |
In connection with the Acquisition, the following transactions occurred: | |
• | |
investment funds affiliated with Carlyle and certain co-investors capitalized Holdings with an aggregate equity contribution of $1,550,400; | |
• | |
Merger Sub, a subsidiary of Holdings formed solely for the purpose of completing the Acquisition, issued $650,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% senior notes due 2018 (the "Notes") and entered into senior credit facilities consisting of (1) senior secured term loan facilities of $1,750,000 and (2) a senior secured revolving credit facility with commitments of $250,000. (See Note 12 for information related to the subsequent refinancing of the senior credit facilities); | |
• | |
at the effective time of the Merger, each share of NBTY's common stock outstanding and each restricted stock unit outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $55.00 per share in cash, without interest, less applicable withholding tax; | |
• | |
at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of NBTY's common stock, whether or not then vested, was cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to receive a cash amount equal to the excess of $55.00 over the per-share exercise price of such option, without interest, less applicable withholding tax; | |
• | |
NBTY's existing 71/8% senior subordinated notes due 2015 were satisfied and discharged and certain indebtedness of NBTY was repaid, including its existing credit facilities, its multi-currency term loan facility and mortgage; and | |
• | |
approximately $184,600 of fees and expenses were incurred related to the foregoing, which included capitalized financing costs of $115,431 (of which $1,524 in financing costs were paid in fiscal 2010). | |
We refer to the Merger, the Acquisition, the equity contribution from Holdings, the borrowings under our senior credit facilities, the issuance of the 9% senior notes and the other transactions described above collectively as the "Transactions." | |
The Acquisition was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interests. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of the Acquisition. | |

On March 12, 2013, NBTY initiated a restructuring plan to streamline its operations and improve the profitability and return on invested capital of its manufacturing/packaging and distribution facilities. The restructuring involves the sale or closure of seven of NBTY's manufacturing/packaging and distribution facilities. Facilities that will be impacted by the restructuring include facilities in Carson, California; South Plainfield, New Jersey; Lyndhurst, New Jersey and Wilson, North Carolina. | |||||||||||
The restructuring plan commenced in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and is expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. The restructuring is expected to result in cumulative charges of approximately $33,000 before tax over that period, of which non-cash charges consist primarily of incremental depreciation of approximately $12,588. | |||||||||||
Facility restructuring charges for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 were $16,752 for severance and employee related costs, $12,588 for excess depreciation, and $3,355 for other facility costs. | |||||||||||

Julian Graves | ||||||||
On July 2, 2012, in accordance with the provisions of the United Kingdom Insolvency Act of 1986 and pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors of Julian Graves Limited, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom and Wales (the "UK Debtor") and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, representatives from Deloitte LLP (the "Administrators") were appointed as administrators in respect of the UK Debtor (the "UK Administration"). The UK Administration, which was limited to the UK Debtor, was initiated in response to continuing operating losses of the UK Debtor and their related impact on the Company's cash flows. The effect of the UK Debtor's entry into administration was to place the management, affairs, business and property of the UK Debtor under the direct control of the Administrators. The Administrators have wound the operations down and there are no material adjustments anticipated. | ||||||||
The results of the Julian Graves business included in discontinued operations (previously in the European Retail Segment) for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized in the following table: | ||||||||

As of June 30, 2012, the carrying value of all assets relating to the UK Debtor were evaluated and an impairment of $20,106, primarily relating to the Julian Graves Tradename, was recorded. As of July 2, 2012, concurrent with the transfer of control of the UK Debtor to the Administrator, a deconsolidation loss of approximately $7,403 was recorded. | ||||||||
Le Naturiste | ||||||||
On August 31, 2012 we sold certain assets and liabilities of our subsidiary Le Naturiste, Inc. for a net sales price of $1,600.

Balance Bar | |||||
On November 26, 2012, NBTY acquired all of the outstanding shares of Balance Bar Company ("Balance Bar"), a company that sells and markets nutritional bars, for a purchase price of $77,978 of cash. NBTY used funds drawn from the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facilities to finance this acquisition. | |||||
The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows: | |||||
Cash consideration | $ | 77,978 | |||

Deferred income taxes | (22,045 | ) | |||
Net assets acquired | 42,478 | ||||
Goodwill | $ | 35,500 | |||
The fair values of the net assets acquired were determined using discounted cash flow analyses and estimates made by management. The purchase price was allocated to intangible assets as follows: approximately $35,500 to goodwill, which is non-amortizable under GAAP and is not currently deductible for income tax purposes, approximately $26,000 to tradenames, which are amortizable over 30 years and approximately $29,000 to customer relationships, which are amortizable over 22 years. Amortization of the acquired intangible assets is not currently deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition of Balance Bar is expected to expand our operations in the Wholesale segment in the distribution of nutritional bars. Additionally, we believe that we can achieve operating expense synergies with the integration of Balance Bar into our corporate structure, which is the primary driver behind the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. | |||||
Essenza | |||||
In June 2013, our subsidiary, NBTY Europe Limited, acquired Essenza N.V. ("Essenza"), a Belgian company operating 13 retail stores, for a net purchase price of approximately $4,163 (€3,200 Euros). The allocation of net assets acquired consisted of cash, inventory, property, plant and equipment, tradename, goodwill, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long term debt. The goodwill of approximately $3,700 associated with this acquisition is not currently deductible for tax purposes. | |||||

Senior Credit Facilities | ||||||||
On October 1, 2010, NBTY entered into its senior secured credit facilities (the "senior secured credit facilities") consisting of a $250,000 revolving credit facility, a $250,000 term loan A and a $1,500,000 term loan B. | ||||||||
On March 1, 2011, NBTY, Holdings and Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and several other lenders entered into the First Amendment and Refinancing Agreement (the "First Refinancing") pursuant to which NBTY repriced its loans and amended certain other terms of its credit agreement. | ||||||||
As a result of the Refinancing, $20,824 of previously capitalized deferred financing costs were expensed. In addition, $2,394 of the call premium on term loan B and termination costs on interest rate swap contracts of $1,525 were expensed. Financing costs capitalized in connection with the Refinancing of $24,320, consisting of bank fees of approximately $11,714 and the remaining portion of the call premium on term loan B of $12,606, will be amortized over the remaining term using the effective interest rate method. | ||||||||
On December 30, 2011, NBTY prepaid $225,000 of its future principal payments on its term loan B-1. As a result of this prepayment $9,289 of deferred financing costs were charged to interest expense. In accordance with the prepayment provisions of the credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facilities, future scheduled payments of principal will not be required until the final balloon payment in October 2017. | ||||||||
In November 2012, NBTY drew $80,000 from the revolving portion of its senior secured credit facilities to finance the acquisition of Balance Bar. As of June 30, 2013, NBTY repaid this borrowing in its entirety. | ||||||||
On March 21, 2013 (the "Second Refinancing Date"), NBTY, Holdings, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and several other lenders entered into the Third Amendment and Second Refinancing Agreement (the "Second Refinancing") pursuant to which NBTY repriced its term loan B-1 under its credit agreement. Under the terms of the Second Refinancing, the $1,750,000 term loan B-1 was replaced with a new $1,507,500 term loan B-2. Borrowings under term loan B-2 bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at NBTY's option, either (i) Eurodollar (LIBOR) rate plus an applicable margin, or (ii) base rate plus an applicable margin, in each case, subject to a Eurodollar (LIBOR) rate floor of 1.00% or a base rate floor of 2.00%, as applicable. The applicable margin for term loan B-2 is 2.50% per annum for Eurodollar (LIBOR) loans and 1.50% per annum for base rate loans. Substantially all other terms are consistent with the original term loan B-1, including the maturity dates. As a result of the Second Refinancing, $4,232 of previously capitalized deferred financing costs, as well as $1,151 of the call premium on term loan B-1, were expensed and included in interest expense. In addition, costs incurred and recorded as deferred financing costs were approximately $15,190, including $13,924 of the call premium paid on term loan B-1, and will be amortized using the effective interest method. We intend to fund working capital and general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions and other investments, with cash flows from operations as well as borrowings under our revolving credit facility. | ||||||||
The following fees are applicable under the revolving credit facility: (i) an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum, based on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility; (ii) a letter of credit participation fee on the aggregate stated amount of each letter of credit available to be drawn equal to the applicable margin for Eurodollar rate loans; (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the daily amount of each letter of credit available to be drawn; and (iv) certain other customary fees and expenses of our letter of credit issuers. | ||||||||
The revolving credit facility matures in October 2015 and term loan B-2 matures in October 2017. | ||||||||
NBTY may voluntarily prepay loans or reduce commitments under our senior secured credit facilities, in whole or in part, subject to minimum amounts, with prior notice but without premium or penalty. The Second Refinancing extended out the 1.00% prepayment penalty payable pursuant to a repricing transaction to one year after the Second Refinancing Date. | ||||||||
NBTY must make prepayments on the term loan B-2 facility with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, casualty and condemnation events, the incurrence or issuance of indebtedness (other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred under our senior secured credit facilities unless specifically incurred to refinance a portion of our senior secured credit facilities) and 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement (such percentage subject to reduction based on achievement of total senior secured leverage ratios), in each case, subject to certain reinvestment rights and other exceptions. NBTY is also required to make prepayments under its revolving credit facility at any time when, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the revolving credit facility exceeds the aggregate amount of commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility. | ||||||||
Obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and each of NBTY's current and future direct and indirect subsidiaries other than (i) foreign subsidiaries, (ii) unrestricted subsidiaries, (iii) non-wholly owned subsidiaries, (iv) certain receivables financing subsidiaries, (v) certain immaterial subsidiaries and (vi) certain holding companies of foreign subsidiaries, and are secured by a first lien on substantially all of their assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions). | ||||||||
The senior secured credit facilities contain customary negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on NBTY and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, pay dividends, sell or otherwise transfer assets, prepay or modify terms of certain junior indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates, amend organizational documents, or change our line of business or fiscal year. In addition, our senior secured credit facilities require the maintenance of a maximum total senior secured leverage ratio on a quarterly basis, calculated with respect to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined therein, if at any time amounts are outstanding under the revolving credit facility, including swingline loans and letters of credit. NBTY was in compliance with all covenants under the senior secured credit facilities at September 30, 2013. All other financial covenants in the original credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facilities were removed as part of the First Refinancing. | ||||||||
The senior secured credit facilities provide that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the obligations thereunder may be accelerated and the lending commitments terminated. Such events of default include payment defaults to the lenders, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, material money judgments, material ERISA/pension plan events, certain change of control events and other customary events of default. | ||||||||
Notes | ||||||||
On October 1, 2010, NBTY issued $650,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior notes bearing interest at 9% in a private placement. On August 2, 2011, these privately placed notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and therefore are freely tradable (the privately placed notes and such registered notes exchanged therefor, the "Notes"). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and mature on October 1, 2018. Interest on the Notes is paid on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and commenced on April 1, 2011. | ||||||||
On and after October 1, 2014, NBTY may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on October 1 of the years set forth below: | ||||||||
Period | Redemption | |||||||
Price | ||||||||
2014 | 104.5 | % | ||||||
2015 | 102.25 | % | ||||||
2016 and thereafter | 100 | % | ||||||
In addition, at any time prior to October 1, 2014, NBTY may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). | ||||||||
The Notes are jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by each of NBTY's subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the credit agreement. The Notes are uncollateralized and rank senior in right of payment to existing and future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the Notes, rank equally in right of payment to our and our subsidiary guarantors' senior unsecured debt, and are effectively junior to any of NBTY or its subsidiary guarantors' secured debt, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt. The Notes contain certain customary covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on NBTY and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, or pay dividends. NBTY was in compliance with all covenants under the Notes at September 30, 2013. | ||||||||
Holdco Notes | ||||||||
On October 17, 2012, Holdings, our parent company, issued $550,000 in aggregate principal amount of 7.75%/8.50% contingent cash pay senior notes ("Holdco Notes") that mature on November 1, 2017. Interest on the Holdco Notes will accrue at the rate of 7.75% per annum with respect to cash interest and 8.50% per annum with respect to any paid-in-kind interest ("PIK Interest"). Interest on the Holdco Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The first interest payment was made on May 1, 2013. Holdings is a holding company with no operations and has no ability to service interest or principal on the Holdco Notes, other than through dividends it may receive from NBTY. NBTY is restricted, in certain circumstances, from paying dividends to Holdings by the terms of the indenture governing the Notes and the senior secured credit facilities. NBTY has not guaranteed the indebtedness of Holdings, nor pledged any of its assets as collateral, and the Holdco Notes are not reflected in NBTY's financial statements. The proceeds from the offering of the Holdco Notes, along with $200,000 of cash on hand from NBTY, as described below, were used to pay transaction fees and expenses and a $721,682 dividend to Holdings' shareholders in October 2012. | ||||||||
On October 11, 2012, NBTY amended its credit agreement to allow Holdings, our parent company, to issue the Holdco Notes. In addition, among other things, the amendment (i) increased the general restricted payments basket to $50,000, as defined in the credit agreement, (ii) increased the maximum total leverage ratio test which governs the making of restricted payments using Cumulative Credit (as defined in the credit agreement) and (iii) modified the definition of Cumulative Credit so that it conforms to the builder basket used in NBTY's indenture governing the Notes. Interest on the Holdco Notes will be paid via dividends from NBTY to Holdings, to the extent that it is permitted under our credit agreement and the indenture governing the Notes. Expenses of $6,121 related to the amendment were capitalized as a deferred financing cost and will be amortized using the effective interest method. In conjunction with the amendment, NBTY paid Holdings a dividend of $193,956 in October 2012. | ||||||||
Interest on the Holdco Notes shall be payable entirely in cash ("Cash Interest") to the extent that it is less than the maximum amount of allowable dividends and distributions plus any cash at Holdings ("Applicable Amount") as defined by the indenture governing the Holdco Notes. During fiscal 2013 dividends of $22,970 were paid by NBTY to Holdings in order to pay interest on the Holdco Notes. For any interest period after May 1, 2013 (other than the final interest period ending at stated maturity), if the Applicable Amount for such interest period will be: | ||||||||
(i) equal or exceed 75%, but be less than 100%, of the aggregate amount of Cash Interest that would otherwise be due on the relevant interest payment date, then Holdings may, at its option, elect to pay interest on (a) 25% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Holdco Notes by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Holdco Notes or by issuing payment in kind notes ("PIK Notes") in a principal amount equal to such interest ("PIK Interest") and (b) 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Holdco Notes as Cash Interest; | ||||||||
(ii) equal or exceed 50%, but be less than 75%, of the aggregate amount of Cash Interest that would otherwise be due on the relevant interest payment date, then Holdings may, at its option, elect to pay interest on (a) 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Holdco Notes as PIK Interest and (b) 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Holdco Notes as Cash Interest; | ||||||||
(iii) equal or exceed 25%, but be less than 50%, of the aggregate amount of Cash Interest that would otherwise be due on the relevant interest payment date, then Holdings may, at its option, elect to pay interest on (a) 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Holdco Notes as PIK Interest and (b) 25% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Holdco Notes as Cash Interest; or | ||||||||
(iv) be less than 25% of the aggregate amount of Cash Interest that would otherwise be due on the relevant interest payment date, then Holdings may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Holdco Notes as PIK Interest. | ||||||||
As described above, Holdings ability to pay PIK Interest depends on the calculation of the Applicable Amount regardless of the availability of cash at Holdings. | ||||||||
The interest on the Holdco Notes was paid in cash on May 1, 2013, and November 1, 2013, and was funded by a dividend of $22,970 and $21,313, respectively, from NBTY. | ||||||||
As part of the offering of the Holdco Notes, Holdings entered into a registration rights agreement which required Holdings to file a registration statement to offer to exchange the outstanding Holdco Notes for a like principal amount of exchange notes in a registered offering within 270 days after October 17, 2012. Holdings filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 to register the Holdco Notes, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2013. On June 21, 2013, $549,925 in aggregate principal amount of the Holdco Notes were exchanged for substantially identical notes that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and therefore are freely tradable. | ||||||||

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||||||||||||||||||
GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||||||||
• | ||||||||||||||||||||
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||||
• | ||||||||||||||||||||
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||||
• | ||||||||||||||||||||
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2013 and 2012: | ||||||||||||||||||||

The Company's swap contracts are measured at fair value based on a market approach valuation technique. With the market approach, fair value is derived using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Although non-performance risk of the Company and the counterparty is present in all swap contracts and is a component of the estimated fair values, we do not view non-performance risk to be a significant input to the fair value for the interest rate swap contracts. However, with respect to our cross currency swap contracts, we believe that non-performance risk is higher; therefore the Company classifies these swap contracts as "Level 3" in the fair value hierarchy and, accordingly, records estimated fair value adjustments based on internal projections and views of those contracts. The performance risk for the cross currency swap contracts as a percentage of the unadjusted liabilities ranged from 12.4 to 15.0 (13.5 weighted average). | ||||||||||||||||||||

In connection with the UK Administration (See Note 5), we re-measured the Julian Graves tradename and certain fixed assets using Level 3 inputs, which resulted in an impairment of $20,106 in fiscal 2012. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Interest Rate Swaps | ||||||||||||||||||||
To manage the potential risk arising from changing interest rates and their impact on long-term debt, our policy is to maintain a combination of available fixed and variable rate financial instruments. | ||||||||||||||||||||
During December 2010, we entered into three interest rate swap contracts that were subsequently terminated in connection with the Refinancing, resulting in a termination payment of $1,525. During March 2011, we entered into three interest rate swap contracts to fix the LIBOR indexed interest rates on a portion of our senior credit facilities until the indicated expiration dates of these swap contracts. Each swap contract has an initial notional amount of $333,333 (for a total of one billion dollars), with a fixed interest rate of 1.92% for a four-year term. The notional amount of each swap decreases to $266,666 in December 2012, decreases to $166,666 in December 2013 and has a maturity date of December 2014. Under the terms of the swap contracts, variable interest payments for a portion of our senior credit facilities are swapped for fixed interest payments. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments on a portion of our term loan debt. Hedge effectiveness will be assessed based on the overall changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts. Any potential ineffectiveness is measured using the hypothetical derivative method and will be recognized in current earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness from inception to September 30, 2013 was insignificant. Hedge ineffectiveness is recorded in Miscellaneous, net. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Cross Currency Swaps | ||||||||||||||||||||
To manage the potential exposure from adverse changes in currency exchange rates, specifically the British pound, arising from our net investment in British pound denominated operations, during December 2010, we entered into three cross currency swap contracts to hedge a portion of the net investment in our British pound denominated foreign operations. The aggregate notional amount of the swap contracts is 194,200 British pounds (approximately $300,000 U.S. dollars), with a forward rate of 1.56, and a termination date of September 30, 2017. | ||||||||||||||||||||
These cross currency contracts were designated as a net investment hedge to the net investment in our British pound denominated operations. Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the overall changes in the fair value of the cross currency swap contracts. Any potential hedge ineffectiveness is measured using the hypothetical derivative method and is recognized in current earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness for the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 resulted in (income) expense of ($1,611) and $3,358, respectively, and for the year ended September 30, 2011, hedge ineffectiveness was insignificant, and is recorded in miscellaneous, net. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Term loan B-2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
The face amount of the term loan B-2 is $1,507,500, which approximates fair value based on Level 2 inputs, as this loan accrues interest at a variable interest rate. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Other Fair Value Considerations | ||||||||||||||||||||
During the fourth quarter of each year, the Company evaluates goodwill at the reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment using market data and a cash flow model using Level 3 inputs. Additionally, on a nonrecurring basis, the Company uses fair value measures when analyzing asset impairment. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Measurements based on undiscounted cash flows are considered to be Level 3 inputs. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Glucosamine-Based Dietary Supplements | |
Beginning in June 2011, certain putative class actions have been filed in various jurisdictions against NBTY, its subsidiary Rexall Sundown, Inc. ("Rexall"), and/or other companies as to which there may be a duty to defend and indemnify, challenging the marketing of glucosamine-based dietary supplements, under various states' consumer protection statutes. The lawsuits against NBTY and its subsidiaries are: Cardenas v. NBTY, Inc. and Rexall Sundown, Inc. (filed June 14, 2011) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, on behalf of a putative class of California consumers seeking unspecified compensatory damages based on theories of restitution and disgorgement, plus punitive damages and injunctive relief); Jennings v. Rexall Sundown, Inc. (filed August 22, 2011) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, on behalf of a putative class of Massachusetts consumers seeking unspecified trebled compensatory damages,, and Nunez v. NBTY, Inc. et al. (filed March 1, 2013) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (the "Nunez Case"), on behalf of a putative class of California consumers seeking unspecified compensatory damages based on theories of restitution and disgorgement, plus injunctive relief, as well as other cases in California and Illinois against certain wholesale customers as to which we may have certain indemnification obligations. The Nunez case settled on an individual basis on June 20, 2013. | |
In March 2013, NBTY agreed upon a proposed settlement with the remaining plaintiffs, which includes all cases and resolves all pending claims without any admission of or concession of liability by NBTY. The parties have signed settlement documentation providing for a release of all claims in return for payments to the class, together with attorneys' fees, and notice and administrative costs estimated to be in the range of $8,000 to $15,000. The settlement has been preliminarily approved by the court. An initial Fairness Hearing took place on October 4, 2013 and continued on November 20, 2013 for final approval. It is anticipated the court will issue an order by December 31, 2013. Until such settlement is finally approved and entered by the court, however, no final determination can be made as to the ultimate outcome of the litigation or the amount of liability on the part of NBTY. NBTY recorded a provision of $12,000 as the Company's best estimate associated with this proposed settlement. | |
Claims in the Ordinary Course | |
In addition to the foregoing, other regulatory inquiries, audits, claims, suits and complaints (including product liability, false advertising, intellectual property, escheat laws and Proposition 65 claims) arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. We believe that such other inquiries, claims, suits and complaints would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, cash flows or results of operations, if adversely determined against us. | |

The difference in the effective rate in fiscal 2013 as compared to the statutory rate is mainly attributable to the restructuring which had a favorable impact on our state tax rate due to the closing of facilities in California (a relatively high tax state) and the partial indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings. | ||||||||||||||||||||

The NYS investment tax credits expire primarily between 2014 and 2029 and the foreign net operating loss carryforwards expire in accordance with applicable tax law. We provide a valuation allowance for these credit and loss carryforwards because we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. We continue to monitor the need for these valuation allowances on an on-going basis. | ||||||||||||||||||||
At September 30, 2013, we had $135,138 of undistributed international earnings on which we have not provided any U.S. tax expense as we intend to permanently reinvest these earnings outside of the U.S. If these earnings are repatriated to the United States, or if the Company determines that such earnings will be remitted in the foreseeable future, additional tax provisions may be required. Due to the complexities in the tax laws and the assumptions that would have to be made, it is not practicable to estimate the amounts of income tax provisions that may be required. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The change in the valuation allowance for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||

Our total unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate were $10,263 and $10,160 as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We do not believe that the amount will significantly change in the next 12 months. | ||||||||||||||||||||
We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. This methodology is consistent with previous periods. At September 30, 2013, we had accrued $1,558 and $662 for the potential payment of interest and penalties, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, we were subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax examinations for the tax years 2007 through 2013, and to non-US examinations for the tax years of 2007 through 2013. In addition, we are generally subject to state and local examinations for fiscal years 2010 through 2013. There were no significant changes to accrued penalties and interest during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The Company is under an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examination for tax years 2007 through 2011. Among other issues, the IRS has questioned the values used by the Company to transfer product and provide services to an international subsidiary. The Company believes it has appropriately valued such product transfers and services and intends to continue to support this position as the IRS examination continues to progress. | ||||||||||||||||||||

On November 30, 2010, Holdings adopted the Equity Incentive Plan of Alphabet Holding Company, Inc. (the "Plan"), pursuant to which Holdings may grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued under the Plan is 50,268 shares of the Class A common stock and 148,404 shares of the Class B common stock. Options granted under the Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. | ||||||||||||||||||||
During fiscal 2013 and 2012, Holdings granted 19,180 and 24,850, respectively, of Class B common stock options to certain Company employees under the Plan. During fiscal 2011, Holdings granted 49,468 Class A common stock options and 103,710 Class B common stock options to certain Company employees under the Plan. Vesting of the awards is based on the passage of time, in equal installments over five years/or the achievement of a performance condition (i.e., a liquidity event as defined in the plan agreement) and market conditions (i.e., the achievement of a minimum investor rate of return). The fair value of each of the Holdings time-based stock option awards is expensed in the Company's records on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the five year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with a performance condition, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable that the performance condition will be met. As the Company has determined it is not probable the performance condition will be achieved, no compensation cost has been recognized relating to the performance based awards. Pursuant to the Plan, Holdings is required to modify all options in an equitable manner under certain circumstances. The $721,682 dividend in October 2012, as described in Note 12, required this modification. | ||||||||||||||||||||
The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options granted in fiscal 2013 was $167 for time based vesting and $96 for performance based vesting. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options granted in fiscal 2012 was $239 for time based vesting and $108 for performance based vesting. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options granted in fiscal 2011 was $180 for time based vesting and $56 for performance based vesting. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for the options granted: | ||||||||||||||||||||

The expected term of the options was estimated utilizing the simplified method. We utilize the simplified method because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The simplified method was used for all stock options that require only a service vesting condition. | ||||||||||||||||||||

As share-based compensation expense recognized is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures of 0% and 5% per year for senior management and other management, respectively. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical and forecasted turnover. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Employee Benefit Plans | ||||||||||||||||||||
We sponsor a Retirement Savings Plan consisting of a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees with more than six months of service. As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax-deferred salary deductions for eligible employees. Employees may contribute from one to fifty percent of their annual compensation to the Plan, limited to a maximum annual amount as set, and periodically updated, by the Internal Revenue Service. We provide a Company match of 100% of employee contributions, up to three percent of the employee's gross earnings and 50% match of the next two percent of earnings, limited to an annual match contribution of $10 per employee. Employees become fully vested in employer match contributions after three years of service. | ||||||||||||||||||||
We also have an Associate Profit Sharing Plan ("PSP), which is allocated among participants who have completed 1,000 hours of service in the plan year end who were employed on the last day of the plan year, based upon their relative compensation for the year. As of September 30, 2013, the amount allocated and accrued for the PSP was approximately $3,723. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents (the amounts of which may, at times, exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits on insurable amounts), investments and trade accounts receivable. We mitigate our risk by investing in or through major financial institutions. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Customers | ||||||||||||||||||||
We perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customers' current creditworthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. Customers' account activity is continuously monitored. As a result of this review process, we record bad debt expense, which is based upon historical experience as well as specific customer collection issues that have been identified, to adjust the carrying amount of the related receivable to its estimated realizable value. While such bad debt expenses historically have been within expectations and the allowances established, if the financial condition of one or more of our customers were to deteriorate, additional bad debt provisions may be required. | ||||||||||||||||||||

23. Segment Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||
We are organized by segments on a worldwide basis. We evaluate performance based on a number of factors; however, the primary measures of performance are the net sales and income or loss from operations (before corporate allocations) of each segment, as these are the key performance indicators that we review. Operating income or loss for each segment does not include the impact of any intercompany transfer pricing mark-up, corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense and other miscellaneous income/expense items. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to, human resources, legal, finance, and various other corporate level activity related expenses. Such unallocated expenses remain within Corporate/Manufacturing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Effective October 1, 2012, we reorganized our segments to better align them with how we currently review operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and managing performance. After this reorganization, we continue to have four reportable segments as follows: 1) Wholesale, 2) European Retail, 3) Direct Response/E-Commerce and 4) North American Retail. In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, we have reclassified all prior period amounts to conform to our new reportable segment presentation. The reclassification of prior period amounts did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, and were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The European Retail Segment now includes the results of the European direct response/e-commerce business, which was previously reported in the Direct Response/E-Commerce segment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The North American Retail segment now includes the results of Vitamin World's e-commerce business, which was previously reported in the Direct Response/E-Commerce segment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
All of our products fall into one or more of these four segments: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Wholesale—This segment sells products under various brand names and third-party private labels, each targeting specific market groups which include virtually all major mass merchandisers, club stores, drug store chains and supermarkets. This segment also sells products to independent pharmacies, health food stores, the military and other retailers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||||||
European Retail—This segment generates revenue through its 736 Holland & Barrett stores (including franchised stores in the following countries: 29 in China, 23 in Singapore, seven in each of United Arab Emirates and Cyprus, four in Malta and one in each of Gibraltar and Iceland), 57 GNC (UK) stores in the U.K., 127 De Tuinen stores (including seven franchised locations) in the Netherlands, 47 Nature's Way stores in Ireland and 13 Essenza stores in Belgium which were acquired in June of 2013, as well as internet-based sales from www.hollandandbarret.com, www.detuinen.nl and www.gnc.co.uk. Such revenue consists of sales of proprietary brand and third-party products as well as franchise fees. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Direct Response/E-Commerce—This segment generates revenue through the sale of proprietary brand and third-party products primarily through mail order catalog and internet (www.puritan.com) under the Puritan's Pride tradename. Catalogs are strategically mailed to customers who order by mail, internet or phone. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
• | |||||||||||||||||||||||
North American Retail—This segment generates revenue through its 421 owned and operated Vitamin World stores selling proprietary brand and third- party products, as well as internet based sales fromwww.vitaminworld.com. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ' | |||||||
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | ' | |||||||
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | ||||||||
On October 1, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 15, 2010, among NBTY, Alphabet Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings") formed by an affiliate of TC Group, L.L.C. (d/b/a The Carlyle Group) and Alphabet Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings ("Merger Sub") formed solely for the purpose of entering into the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into NBTY with NBTY as the surviving corporation (also referred herein as the "Merger" or the "Acquisition"). As a result of the Merger, NBTY became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. See Note 3 for further information. | ||||||||
Merger Sub was determined to be the acquirer for accounting purposes and therefore, the Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interests. Accordingly, the purchase price of the Acquisition has been allocated to the Company's assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. | ||||||||
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||
Effective July 2, 2012, Julian Graves Limited was placed into administration under the laws of the United Kingdom and Wales, and this former subsidiary is reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. During the course of the administration, attempts to sell the business were unsuccessful and the operations were wound down by the end of August 2012. The operations of this subsidiary were previously reported in the European Retail segment. | ||||||||
Effective August 31, 2012, we sold certain assets and liabilities of Le Naturiste, Inc., and have reported this former subsidiary as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. The operations of this subsidiary were previously reported in the North American Retail segment. | ||||||||
All amounts related to discontinued operations are excluded from the notes to the consolidated financial statement unless otherwise indicated. See Note 5 for additional information about discontinued operations. | ||||||||
Estimates | ' | |||||||
Estimates | ||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our most significant estimates include: sales returns, promotions and other allowances; inventory valuation and obsolescence; valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets, including goodwill; stock-based compensation; income taxes; and accruals for the outcome of current litigation. | ||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | |||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||||
We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | |||||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||||||
We recognize product revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement to deliver a product, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. The delivery terms for most sales within the wholesale and direct response segments are F.O.B. destination. Generally, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer at the time the product is received by the customer. With respect to retail store operations, we recognize revenue upon the sale of products to customers. Net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges for discounts, returns and other promotional program incentive allowances. | ||||||||
Sales Returns and Other Allowances | ' | |||||||
Sales Returns and Other Allowances | ||||||||
Allowance for sales returns: Estimates for sales returns are based on a variety of factors, including actual return experience of specific products or similar products. We are able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on our 40 year history in this business. We also review our estimates for product returns based on expected return data communicated to us by customers. Additionally, we monitor the levels of inventory at our largest customers to avoid excessive customer stocking of merchandise. Allowances for returns of new products are estimated by reviewing data of any prior relevant new product return information. We also monitor the buying patterns of the end-users of our products based on sales data received by our retail outlets in North America and Europe. | ||||||||
Promotional program incentive allowances: We estimate our allowance for promotional program incentives based upon specific outstanding marketing programs and historical experience. The allowance for sales incentives offered to customers is based on various contractual terms or other arrangements agreed to in advance with certain customers. Generally, customers earn such incentives as specified sales volumes are achieved. We accrue these incentives as a reduction to sales either at the time of sale or over the period of time in which they are earned, depending on the nature of the program. | ||||||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts: We perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by our review of current credit information. We estimate bad debt expense based upon historical experience as well as specifically identified customer collection issues to adjust the carrying amount of the related receivable to its estimated realizable value. | ||||||||
Accounts receivable are presented net of the following reserves at September 30: | ||||||||

$ | 98,848 | $ | 87,449 | |||||
Inventories | ' | |||||||
Inventories | ||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in first-out method) or market. The cost elements of inventories include materials, labor and overhead. In evaluating whether inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, we consider such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and current and expected market conditions, including levels of competition. Based on this evaluation, we record an adjustment to cost of goods sold to reduce inventories to net realizable value. | ||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment | ' | |||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment | ||||||||
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures which significantly improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the asset's remaining useful life. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the remaining lease term. Upon sale or disposition, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in earnings. | ||||||||
Capitalized Software Costs | ' | |||||||
Capitalized Software Costs | ||||||||
We capitalize certain costs related to the acquisition and development of software for internal use and amortize these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software. These costs are included in property, plant and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. | ||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | ' | |||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | ||||||||
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. We consider the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) a history of cash flow losses at retail stores; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets in our overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; and (v) regulatory changes. Our annual impairment testing date is as of July 1, the first day of our fourth quarter. No impairment adjustments were deemed necessary based on our evaluations. We use a combination of the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. A 10% change in the estimate of fair value would not have impacted our assessment. | ||||||||
Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. We use a combination of the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. For our indefinite-lived intangible assets, if the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. | ||||||||
The fair value of our trademarks is determined based on the relief from royalty method under the income approach, which requires us to estimate a reasonable royalty rate, identify relevant projected revenues and expenses, and select an appropriate discount rate. The evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment requires management to use significant judgments and estimates including, but not limited to, projected future net sales, operating results, and cash flow of our business. | ||||||||
We base our fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable at the time, but such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. If actual external conditions or future operating results differ from our judgments, this may result in an impairment of our goodwill and/or intangible assets. An impairment charge would reduce operating income in the period it was determined that the charge was needed. | ||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ' | |||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||||||||
We evaluate the need for an impairment charge relating to long-lived assets, including definite lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to its expected future net cash flows generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount is compared to its fair value and an impairment charge is recognized to the extent of the difference. On a quarterly basis, we assess whether events or changes in circumstances occur that potentially indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate projected future operating cash flows. Accordingly, if actual results fall short of such estimates, significant future impairments could result. | ||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | |||||||
Income Taxes | ||||||||
We recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We estimate the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined that such assets will, more likely than not, go unused. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reversed. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in these jurisdictions. We believe adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary. | ||||||||
Accruals for Litigation and Other Contingencies | ' | |||||||
Accruals for Litigation and Other Contingencies | ||||||||
We are subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims related to various matters. We are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. We determine the amount of reserves needed, if any, for each individual issue based on our knowledge and experience and discussions with legal counsel. These reserves may change in the future due to new developments in each matter (including the enactment of new laws), the ultimate resolution of each matter or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy. In some instances, we may be unable to make a reasonable estimate of the liabilities that may result from the final resolution of certain contingencies disclosed and accordingly, no reserve is recorded until such time that a reasonable estimate may be made. | ||||||||
Shipping and Handling Costs | ' | |||||||
Shipping and Handling Costs | ||||||||
We incur shipping and handling costs in all divisions of our operations. These costs, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income, were $92,062, $85,784 and $80,072 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $14,050, $13,831 and $16,660 have been billed to customers and are included in net sales for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | ||||||||
Advertising, Promotion and Catalog | ' | |||||||
Advertising, Promotion and Catalog | ||||||||
We expense the production costs of advertising as incurred, except for the cost of mail order catalogs, which are capitalized and amortized over our expected period of future benefit, which typically approximates two months. Capitalized costs for mail order catalogs at September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $740 and $477, respectively. Total mail order catalog expense was $7,713, $9,378 and $10,395 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is included in advertising, promotion and catalog in the consolidated statements of income. | ||||||||
Foreign Currency | ' | |||||||
Foreign Currency | ||||||||
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. The translation of the applicable foreign currencies into US dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using current exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts and cash flows using average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Adjustments resulting from the translation of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholder's equity. | ||||||||
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | ' | |||||||
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | ||||||||
All derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measurement of those instruments is at fair value. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are reported in earnings or other comprehensive income (loss) depending on the designation of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. For derivatives that have been formally designated as cash flow hedges (interest rate swap agreements), the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when interest expense on the underlying borrowings is recognized. For hedges of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries (cross currency swap agreements), changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) to offset the change in the value of the net investment being hedged. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. | ||||||||
Recent Accounting Developments | ' | |||||||
Recent Accounting Developments | ||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). This new guidance requires entities to present (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes hereto) the effects on the line items of the income statement for amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The new guidance has been effective for us beginning October 1, 2013. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the Company does not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption. | ||||||||
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance on a parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning on October 1, 2014. We do not anticipate material impacts on our financial statements upon adoption. | ||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance which amends the guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits and allows for the reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward whenever the net operating loss carryforward or tax credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | ||||||||

The risk free interest rate assumption was based on yields of U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the date of grant with terms similar to the expected term. | ||||||||||||||||||||
-2 | ||||||||||||||||||||
The expected term of the options was estimated utilizing the simplified method. We utilize the simplified method because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The simplified method was used for all stock options that require only a service vesting condition. | ||||||||||||||||||||
-3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Expected volatility was estimated based on historical volatility of peer companies over a period equivalent to the expected term. Peer companies are determined based on relevant industry and/or market capitalization. | ||||||||||||||||||||
-4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
The expected term of the options was estimated utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. | ||||||||||||||||||||
