Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning our business, consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking statements so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “plan,” “assumes,” “could,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “potential,” “seek,” “predict,” “may,” “will” and similar references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding expected future operating results, expectations regarding the results of restructuring and other programs, anticipated levels of capital expenditures and expectations of the effect on our financial condition of claims, litigation, environmental costs, contingent liabilities and governmental and regulatory investigations and proceedings.

The following are important factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements: the tax benefits associated with the Settlement agreement (as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016), global economic and political conditions, changes in our credit ratings, changes in raw material pricing and availability, changes in energy costs, competitive conditions, the success of our restructuring activities, currency translation and devaluation effects, the success of our financial growth, profitability, cash generation and manufacturing strategies and our cost reduction and productivity efforts, the success of new product offerings, the effects of animal and food-related health issues, pandemics, consumer preferences, environmental matters, regulatory actions and legal matters, and the other information referenced in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and as revised and updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.  Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Non-U.S. GAAP Information

We present financial information that conforms to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). We also present financial information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP, which we refer to as non-U.S. GAAP, as our management believes it is useful to investors. In addition, non-U.S. GAAP measures are used by management to review and analyze our operating performance and, along with other data, as internal measures for setting annual budgets and forecasts, assessing financial performance, providing guidance and comparing our financial performance with our peers. The non-U.S. GAAP information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP information. It does not purport to represent any similarly titled U.S. GAAP information and is not an indicator of our performance under U.S. GAAP. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that we present may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by others. Investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on these non-U.S. GAAP measures. Further, investors are urged to review and consider carefully the adjustments made by management to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure to arrive at these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. See Note 4, “Segments” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) for reconciliations of our U.S. GAAP financial measures to non-U.S. GAAP.  Information reconciling forward-looking U.S. GAAP measures to non-U.S. GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Our management may assess our financial results both on a U.S. GAAP basis and on a non-U.S. GAAP basis. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide management with additional means to understand and evaluate the core operating results and trends in our ongoing business by eliminating certain one-time expenses and/or gains (which may not occur in each period presented) and other items that management believes might otherwise make comparisons of our ongoing business with prior periods and peers more difficult, obscure trends in ongoing operations or reduce management’s ability to make useful forecasts.

3

Our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may also be considered in calculations of our performance measures set by the Organization and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors for purposes of determining incentive compensation. The non-U.S. GAAP financial metrics mentioned above exclude items that we consider to be certain specified items (“Special Items”), such as restructuring charges, charges related to ceasing operations in Venezuela, cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) granted as part of the original Diversey acquisition, special tax items (“Tax Special Items”) and certain other infrequent or one-time items. We evaluate unusual or Special Items on an individual basis. Our evaluation of whether to exclude an unusual or special item for purposes of determining our non-U.S. GAAP financial measures considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including among other things (i) its nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis.

The Company measures segment performance using Adjusted EBITDA (a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Earnings before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, adjusted to exclude the impact of Special Items.

We also present our adjusted income tax rate or provision (“Adjusted Tax Rate”). The Adjusted Tax Rate is a measure of our U.S. GAAP effective tax rate, adjusted to exclude the tax impact from the Special Items that are excluded from our Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted EPS metrics as well as expense or benefit from any special taxes or tax benefits (“Tax Special Items”). The Adjusted Tax Rate is an indicator of the taxes on our core business. The tax situation and effective tax rate in the specific countries where the excluded or Special Items occur will determine the impact (positive or negative) to the Adjusted Tax Rate.

In our “Net Sales by Geographic Region,” “Components of Change in Net Sales by Segment” and in some of the discussions and tables that follow, we exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when presenting net sales information, which we define as “constant dollar.” Changes in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. As a worldwide business, it is important that we take into account the effects of foreign currency translation when we view our results and plan our strategies. Nonetheless, we cannot control changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Consequently, when our management looks at our financial results to measure the core performance of our business, we may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation by translating our current period results at prior period foreign currency exchange rates. We also may exclude the impact of foreign currency translation when making incentive compensation determinations. As a result, our management believes that these presentations are useful internally and may be useful to investors.

We have not provided guidance for the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as they are not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain Special Items, including gains and losses on the disposition of businesses, the ultimate outcome of certain legal or tax proceedings, foreign currency gains or losses and other unusual gains and losses.  These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our results computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

⁽¹⁾  Due to changes in the accounting treatment of a factoring agreement the Company reclassified amounts from cash and cash equivalents to other receivables of $8.7 million as of September 30, 2016. This reclassification resulted in an increase in cash provided by operating activities of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

⁽²⁾  Payments of borrowings included in financing activities excludes amounts which were paid using cash proceeds from the sale of Diversey. As a result, $755.2 million of payments of borrowings is included within investing activities for a total payment of borrowings of $1.1 billion through the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

⁽³⁾  The Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $400.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The full amount was paid as of September 30, 2017 however, only $320.0 million was used to repurchase shares at that point in time. The ASR program is expected to conclude in the fourth quarter of 2017.

⁽⁴⁾  Payments related to the sale of Diversey includes $33.0 million related to tax payments and the remainder primarily attributable to professional fees.

Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

We are a global leader in food safety and security and product protection. We serve an array of end markets including food and beverage processing, food service, retail, healthcare and industrial, and commercial and consumer applications. Our focus is on achieving quality sales growth through leveraging our geographic footprint, technological know-how and leading market positions to bring measurable, sustainable value to our customers and investors.

We conduct substantially all of our business through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cryovac, Inc. and Sealed Air Corporation (US). Throughout this report, when we refer to “Sealed Air,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we are referring to Sealed Air Corporation and all of our subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 and our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been made. The results set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and approximate due to rounding. Some prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC on February 15, 2017 (“2016 Form 10-K”) and with the information contained in other publicly-available filings with the SEC.

On March 25, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Diversey Care division and the food hygiene and cleaning business within the Food Care division (collectively "Diversey"). The sale of Diversey was completed on September 6, 2017. The net assets of Diversey met the criteria to be classified as “held for sale” for the period ended December 31, 2016. Results of operations for Diversey are reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” for further information.

As a result of the Diversey transaction, we have also changed our segment reporting structure effective as of January 1, 2017. See Note 4, “Segments” for further information.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation

Venezuela

Economic and political events in Venezuela have continued to expose us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk.  Accordingly, Venezuela has been designated a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP, and the U.S. dollar replaced the bolivar fuerte as the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. All bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate available to us, and any changes in the exchange rate are reflected in foreign currency exchange loss related to our Venezuelan subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

2016 Activity

Effective March 10, 2016, there were only two legal mechanisms in Venezuela to access U.S. dollars. This included the DIPRO (10.0 bolivars per U.S. dollar), which replaced the CENCOEX rate and is the preferential rate for essential goods and services and; the DICOM rate, which replaced the SIMADI rate, which was allowed to float freely.

At September 30, 2016, we evaluated which legal mechanisms were available to our Venezuelan subsidiaries to access U.S. dollars. We concluded that we would use the DICOM rate to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities since it was our only legally available option and our intent on a go-forward basis to utilize this market to settle any future transactions based on the then current facts and circumstances. The DICOM rate as of September 30, 2016 was 658.8853.

During the first six months of 2016, we were only able to access the SIMADI market (during the period the market was available) and only received minimal amounts of U.S. dollars during the first three months of 2016. We did not receive any U.S. dollars via the CENCOEX (at an official rate of 6.3) or the DIPRO (at an official rate of 10.0). For any U.S. dollar denominated monetary asset or liability, such amounts do not get remeasured at month-end since it is already an asset or liability denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of this evaluation, the Company reported a remeasurement loss of $0.4 million (none of which related to continuing operations) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $3.2 million (of which $1.6 million related to continuing operations) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Due to the ongoing challenging economic situation in Venezuela, the Company approved a program in the second quarter of 2016 to cease operations in the country.  Foreign exchange control regulations have affected our Venezuelan subsidiaries ability to obtain inventory and maintain normal production. This resulted in total costs of $47.3 million being incurred which included the following (i) a voluntary reduction in headcount including severance and termination benefits for employees of approximately $0.3 million, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense related to fixed assets and intangibles of approximately $0.6 million (iii) inventory reserves of $0.4 million and (iv) the reclassification of approximately $46.0 million of cumulative translation adjustment into net income as the Company’s decision to cease operations is similar to a substantially complete liquidation.

2017 Activity

On May 19, 2017, the Venezuelan government published in Exchange Agreement No. 38 that the DICOM system would now operate through an auction process which is referred to as the new DICOM. This became effective on May 23, 2017.

At September 30, 2017, we concluded that we would continue to use the DICOM rate to remeasure our remaining bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities since it was our only legally available option and our intent on a go-forward basis to utilize this market if needed, to settle any future transactions based on current facts and circumstances. During the first nine months of 2017, we did not receive any U.S dollars via any of the legal mechanisms noted above. The new DICOM rate as of September 30, 2017 was 3,345.0 which reflects the last auction in June 2017. As a result of this evaluation, the Company reported a remeasurement loss of less than $1.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 (which included less than $0.1 million of income related to continuing operations).

We will continue to evaluate each reporting period the appropriate exchange rate to remeasure our financial statements based on the facts and circumstances as applicable.

Note 2 Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). This update intends to align the financial statements with an entity's risk management activities. ASU 2017-12 will allow for changes in the designation and measurement of hedges as well as expand the disclosures of hedge results. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

11

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 amends the considerations for determining if a modification should be accounted for. This new guidance requires an entity to consider the fair value of an award before and after modification, the vesting conditions of the modified award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Benefit Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. This new guidance requires entities to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component outside of income from operations. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test. The amount of the impairment charge to be recognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. This screen states that when substantially all of the fair value of the group assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early application is permitted for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that entities include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in interim periods, is permitted for all entities. Retrospective transition method is to be applied to each period presented. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”).  ASU 2016-16 requires entities to recognize income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  The amendments in ASU 2016-16  are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.  Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues in regard to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

12

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates.  The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal periods. Entities may adopt earlier as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The updated guidance requires a modified retrospective adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”).  This ASU requires equity investments except those under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income.  The amendment simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. In addition, it also requires enhanced disclosures about investments.  The amendments in ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application for certain provisions is allowed but early adoption of the amendments is not permitted.  An entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, February 2017 and May 2017 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2017-05 and ASU 2017-10 respectively (ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2017-05 and ASU 2017-10 collectively, Topic 606). Previous revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 expands and enhances disclosure requirements which require disclosing sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, (“ASU 2015-14”). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allow early adoption as of the original public entity effective date. The amendments in ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 are effective in conjunction with ASU 2015-14.

The guidance permits two methods of adoption: full retrospective in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented or modified retrospective where an entity will have to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We currently anticipate adopting the modified retrospective method.

Our efforts to adopt this standard to date have focused on contract analysis at a regional level. We currently estimate the most significant impact will be on the accounting for Free on Loan equipment in our Food Care division. Whereas today we do not recognize revenue on Free on Loan equipment, under the new standard, we anticipate allocating revenue to that equipment and treating it as a performance obligation. We are in the process of assessing the timing of when revenue assigned to Free on Loan equipment would be recognized. Based on the information we have evaluated to date, we do not anticipate that the adoption of the amendments will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements with the exception of new and expanded disclosures.

Note 3 Discontinued Operations, Divestitures and Acquisitions

Discontinued Operations

On March 25, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Diversey Care division and the food hygiene and cleaning business within our Food Care division for gross proceeds of USD equivalent of $3.2 billion, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction was completed on September 6, 2017. We recorded a net gain on the sale of Diversey of $699.3 million, net of taxes. We intend to use the cash generated from this transaction to repay debt and maintain our credit profile, repurchase shares to minimize earnings dilution, and fund core growth initiatives, including potential complementary acquisitions to our Food Care and Product Care divisions.

The sale of Diversey will allow us to enhance our strategic focus on the Food Care and Product Care divisions and simplify our operating structure. We have classified the operating results from this business, together with certain costs related to the divestiture transaction, as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Assets and liabilities of this business are classified as “held for sale” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016.

Summary operating results of Diversey were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Net sales	$	434.6		$	651.5		$	1,667.5		$	1,924.4

Amortization expense of intangible assets acquired(1)	7.7			19.3			23.9			62.0
Operating profit	46.8			57.8			156.3			151.7
Other expense, net	(9.0		)	(2.8		)	(17.0		)	(9.4		)
Earnings from discontinued operations before income tax (benefit) provision(1)(2)	37.8			55.0			139.3			142.3
Income tax (benefit) provision from discontinued operations	12.1			(44.5		)	28.0			(31.9		)
Net earnings from discontinued operations	$	25.7		$	99.5		$	111.3		$	174.2

⁽¹⁾  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was a revision to net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations related to depreciation and amortization on Diversey assets held for sale. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $6.1 million, amortization expenses of intangible assets acquired decreased $16.5 million and income tax provision from discontinued operations increased $6.2 million.

⁽²⁾  For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, net earnings from discontinued operations was impacted by a tax expense of $12.1 million and $28.0 million, respectively, driven by a change in the repatriation strategy of foreign earnings offset by a favorable earnings mix in jurisdictions with lower rates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, net earnings from discontinued operations were impacted by tax benefits of $44.5 million and $31.9 million, respectively, primarily related to the release of reserves, and earnings mix in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

On April 1, 2017, the Diversey Care division acquired the UVC disinfection portfolio of Daylight Medical, a manufacturer of innovative medical devices. The preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred was approximately $25.2 million which included $3.5 million of cash paid at closing as well as a preliminary fair value of $21.7 million related to $14.4 million of noncontingent consideration which will be paid in the future and a $7.3 million of preliminary fair value for liability-classified contingent consideration. The assets and liabilities acquired as part of the acquisition are transferred with the sale of Diversey.

Divestitures

On August 1, 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell our polystyrene food tray business in Guarulhos, Brazil for a gross purchase price of R$24.0 million (or $7.5 million as of September 30, 2017). The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017 after certain conditions are met. The purchase price is subject to working capital, cash and debt adjustments. As of September 30, 2017, there was $4.9 million of assets held for sale and $1.8 million of liabilities held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

15

Acquisitions

On August 2, 2017, the Food Care division acquired Deltaplam Embalagens Indústria e Comércio Ltda ("Deltaplam"), a family owned and operated Brazilian flexible packaging manufacturer. The preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred was approximately $25.8 million. We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, which included $8.1 million of goodwill and $7.4 million of intangible assets.

Note 4 Segments

As a result of the sale of Diversey, we have changed our segment reporting structure. The Food Care division now excludes the food hygiene and cleaning business, which is included in discontinued operations, and includes our Medical Applications and New Ventures businesses, which were previously reported in the “Other” category. The Other category also previously included “Corporate” which is now its own category.

The Company’s segment reporting structure now consists of two reportable segments and a Corporate category as follows:

• Food Care (including Medical Applications and New Ventures businesses);

• Product Care; and

• Corporate.

The Company’s Food Care and Product Care segments are considered reportable segments under FASB ASC Topic 280. Our reportable segments are aligned with similar groups of products and management team. Corporate includes certain costs that are not allocated to the reportable segments, primarily consisting of unallocated corporate overhead costs, including administrative functions and cost recovery variances not allocated to the reportable segments from global functional expenses.

We allocate and disclose depreciation and amortization expense to our segments, although property and equipment, net is not allocated to the segment assets, nor is depreciation and amortization included in the segment performance metric Adjusted EBITDA. As of January 1, 2017 we modified our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude interest income. The impact in this modification was $1.6 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. We also disclose restructuring and other charges by segment, although these items are not included in the segment performance metric Adjusted EBITDA since restructuring and other charges are categorized as special items as outlined in the table reconciling U.S. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations to Non-U.S. GAAP Total Company Adjusted EBITDA set forth below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments and Corporate are the same as those applied to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables show Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA by our segment reporting structure:

Note 8 Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

U.S. Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

We and a group of our U.S. operating subsidiaries maintain an accounts receivable securitization program under which they sell eligible U.S. accounts receivable to an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary that was formed for the sole purpose of entering into this program. The wholly-owned subsidiary in turn may sell an undivided fractional ownership interest in these receivables with two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks. The wholly-owned subsidiary retains the receivables it purchases from the operating subsidiaries. Any transfers of fractional ownership interests of receivables under the U.S. receivables securitization program to the two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks are considered secured borrowings with pledge of collateral and will be classified as short-term borrowings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These banks do not have any recourse against the general credit of the Company. The net trade receivables that served as collateral for these borrowings are reclassified from trade receivables, net to prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Prior to the sale of Diversey, our U.S. program was amended to remove receivables associated with Diversey and reduce the program size accordingly. As of September 30, 2017, the maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was $60.0 million, subject to the availability limits described below.

21

The amounts available from time to time under this program may be less than $60.0 million due to a number of factors, including but not limited to our credit ratings, trade receivable balances, the creditworthiness of our customers and our receivables collection experience. As of September 30, 2017, the level of eligible assets available under the program equaled $60.0 million. Although we do not believe restrictions under this program presently materially restrict our operations, if an additional event occurs that triggers one of these restrictive provisions, we could experience a decline in the amounts available to us under the program or termination of the program.

This program expires annually in August and is renewable.  

European Accounts Receivables Securitization Program

We and a group of our European subsidiaries maintain an accounts receivable securitization program with a special purpose vehicle, or SPV, two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks.  The European program is structured to be a securitization of certain trade receivables that are originated by certain of our European subsidiaries. The SPV borrows funds from the banks to fund its acquisition of the receivables and provides the banks with a first priority perfected security interest in the accounts receivable.  We do not have an equity interest in the SPV. We concluded the SPV is a variable interest entity because its total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the SPV to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from the bank via loans or via the collections from accounts receivable already purchased. Additionally, we are considered the primary beneficiary of the SPV since we control the activities of the SPV, and are exposed to the risk of uncollectable receivables held by the SPV.  Therefore, the SPV is consolidated in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Any activity between the participating subsidiaries and the SPV is eliminated in consolidation. Loans from the banks to the SPV will be classified as short-term borrowings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net trade receivables that served as collateral for these borrowings are reclassified from trade receivables, net to prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to the sale of Diversey, the European program was amended to remove the receivables associated with Diversey and reduce the program size accordingly.

Prior to the sale of Diversey, our European program was amended to remove receivables associated with Diversey and reduce the program size accordingly. As of September 30, 2017, the maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was €80.0 million ($94.3 million equivalent at September 30, 2017), subject to availability limits.  The terms and provisions of this program are similar to our U.S. program discussed above. As of September 30, 2017, the amount available under this program was €79.2 million ($93.3 million equivalent as of September 30, 2017).

This program expires annually in August and is renewable.

Utilization of Our Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

As of September 30, 2017, there were no amounts outstanding under our U.S. or European programs. We continue to service the trade receivables supporting the programs, and the banks are permitted to re-pledge this collateral. Total interest expense for these programs was $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Total interest expense for these programs was $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Under limited circumstances, the banks and the issuers of commercial paper can end purchases of receivables interests before the above expiration dates. A failure to comply with debt leverage or various other ratios related to our receivables collection experience could result in termination of the receivables programs. We were in compliance with these ratios at September 30, 2017.

As of December 31, 2016, there were no amounts outstanding under our U.S. and European programs.

Note 9 Restructuring and Relocation Activities

Consolidation of Restructuring Programs

In the first quarter of 2016, the Board of Directors agreed to consolidate the remaining activities of all restructuring programs to create a single program to be called the “Sealed Air Restructuring Program” or the “Program.”

22

The Program consists of a portfolio of restructuring projects across all of our divisions as part of our transformation of Sealed Air into a knowledge-based company, including reductions in headcount, and relocation of certain facilities and offices, which primarily reflects the relocation from our former corporate headquarters in Elmwood Park, New Jersey; and facilities in Saddle Brook, New Jersey; Racine, Wisconsin; and, Duncan and Greenville, South Carolina to our new global headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The cost of the Charlotte campus was estimated to be approximately $120 million. The Program also includes costs associated with the sale of Diversey.

Program metrics are as follows:

	Sealed Air Restructuring Program
Approximate positions eliminated by the program	1,950
Estimated Program Costs (in millions):
Costs of reduction in headcount as a result of reorganization	$245-$255
Other expenses associated with the Program	145-150
Total expense	$390-$405
Capital expenditures	250-255
Proceeds, foreign exchange and other cash items	(70)-(75)
Total estimated net cash cost	$570-$585
Program to Date Cumulative Expense (in millions):
Costs of reduction in headcount as a result of reorganization	$	234
Other expenses associated with the Program	121
Total Cumulative Expense	$	355
Cumulative capital expenditures	$	231

The following table details our restructuring activities as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017			2016		2017		2016
Continuing Operations
Other associated costs	$	2.9		$	5.2	$	12.7	$	13.2
Restructuring charges	6.2			1.3		9.2		1.1
Total charges from continuing operations	$	9.1		$	6.5	$	21.9	$	14.3
Charges included in discontinued operations	(1.4		)	1.1		2.3		6.2
Total charges	$	7.7		$	7.6	$	24.2	$	20.5
Capital expenditures	$	3.4		$	34.6	$	17.3	$	91.6

The restructuring accrual, spending and other activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2017 related to these programs were as follows (in millions):

(In millions)
Restructuring accrual at December 31, 2016	$	47.4
Accrual and accrual adjustments	9.2
Cash payments during 2017	(32.2		)
Transfers as part of the sale of Diversey	(5.5		)
Effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates	(1.2		)
Restructuring accrual at September 30, 2017	$	17.7

We expect to pay $16.2 million of the accrual balance remaining at September 30, 2017 within the next twelve months. This amount is included in accrued restructuring costs on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2017.

23

The remaining accrual of $1.5 million is expected to be paid in 2018. This amount is included in other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2017.

Note 10 Debt and Credit Facilities

Our total debt outstanding consisted of the amounts set forth on the following table:

Total long-term debt, less current portion(3)	3,219.4		3,762.6
Total debt(2)(4)	$	3,305.4	$	4,142.6

⁽¹⁾  Short-term borrowings of $84.0 million at September 30, 2017 are comprised of $43.0 million of Diversey accounts payable obligations under financing arrangements which Sealed Air was fully reimbursed for as part of the sale of Diversey as well as $41.0 million of short term borrowings from various lines of credit. Short-term borrowings at December 31, 2016 were comprised primarily of $83.0 million of short-term borrowings from various lines of credit.      

⁽²⁾  As of September 30, 2017, our weighted average interest rate on our short-term borrowings outstanding, excluding the amounts related to the Diversey accounts payable obligations discussed above, was 7.4% and on our long-term debt outstanding was 5.3%. As of December 31, 2016, our weighted average interest rate on our short-term borrowings outstanding was 4.8% and on our long-term debt outstanding was 4.7%. 

⁽³⁾  Amounts are net of unamortized discounts and issuance costs of $30.9 million as September 30, 2017 and $36.3 million as of December 31, 2016.

⁽⁴⁾  Long-term debt instruments are listed in order of priority.

Lines of Credit

The following table summarizes our available lines of credit and committed and uncommitted lines of credit, including the Revolving Credit Facility discussed above, and the amounts available under our accounts receivable securitization programs.

(In millions)	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016

⁽²⁾  As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were $27.2 million and $25.4 million of cash held on deposit, respectively, as a compensating balance for certain short-term borrowings, which is recorded in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

⁽³⁾  Of the total available lines of credit, $853.3 million were committed as of September 30, 2017.

24

Covenants

Each issue of our outstanding senior notes imposes limitations on our operations and those of specified subsidiaries. The Second Amended and Restated Syndicated Credit Facility (“Amended Credit Facility”) contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our indebtedness, liens, investments, restricted payments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets, transactions with affiliates, amendment of documents and sale leasebacks, and a covenant specifying a maximum permitted ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Facility). We were in compliance with the above financial covenants and limitations at September 30, 2017.

Recent Activity

In July 2017, we paid the full $250.0 million principal balance of the Term Loan A facility due in July 2017, upon its maturity.   

On July 1, 2017, we executed an amendment to the Amended Credit Facility in order to close on the sale of Diversey.  The amendment primarily allowed us to take steps necessary for the legal separation of the Diversey business and release the loan security effective with the sale closing.  These changes do not impact the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2017. Subsequent to the execution of the amendment, we prepaid the Brazilian tranche of our Term Loan A facility due in July 2019 in the amount of $96.3 million in connection with the anticipated Diversey transaction. An additional $755.2 million of this facility was prepaid in conjunction with the Diversey closing. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining balance of this facility was $222.2 million and no further amortization payments will be required before the maturity of the facility.

Note 11 Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We report all derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and establish criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.

As a large global organization, we face exposure to market risks, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative instruments from time to time under our risk management policies. We designate derivative instruments as hedges on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments offset in part or in whole corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. We assess the initial and ongoing effectiveness of our hedging relationships in accordance with our policy. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if we determine the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.

We record the fair value positions of all derivative financial instruments on a net basis by counterparty for which a master netting arrangement is utilized.  

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

The primary purpose of our cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on equipment and raw material purchases that are denominated in foreign currencies in order to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies. We record gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income to the extent that these hedges are effective and until we recognize the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time we recognize these gains and losses in cost of sales, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of less than 12 months.

Net unrealized after-tax gains/losses related to these contracts that were included in other comprehensive income were $0.9 million loss and $5.7 million loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $1.3 million gain and $0.8 million loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The unrealized amounts in other comprehensive income will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of open contracts during each reporting period.

We estimate that $0.4 million of net unrealized derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

25

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

Our subsidiaries have foreign currency exchange exposure from buying and selling in currencies other than their functional currencies. The primary purposes of our foreign currency hedging activities are to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies related to foreign currency-denominated interest-bearing intercompany loans and receivables and payables. The changes in fair value of these derivative contracts are recognized in other income, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency-denominated items indicated above. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of less than 12 months.

Interest Rate Swaps

From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage our fixed and floating interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps

In 2014, in connection with exercising the $100.0 million delayed draw under the senior secured credit facility, we entered into a series of interest rate and currency swaps in a notional amount of $100.0 million.  On September 30, 2016, the first $20.0 million swap contract matured and was settled. As a result of the settlement, the Company received $4.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, settlement payments were made for $2.5 million. In July 2017, we prepaid the Brazilian tranche of our Term Loan A facility due in July 2019 in the amount of $96.3 million in connection with the anticipated Diversey transaction. In anticipation of this loan prepayment, we terminated all the swaps used to convert the related U.S. dollar-denominated variable rate obligation into a fixed Brazilian real-denominated obligation. The related activity has been classified as net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Net Investment Hedge

During the second quarter of 2015, we entered into a series of foreign currency exchange forwards totaling €270.0 million.  These foreign currency exchange forwards hedged a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and expired in June 2015. The loss of $3.5 million ($2.2 million after tax) is recorded in AOCI on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The €400.0 million4.50% notes issued in June 2015 are designated as a net investment hedge, hedging a portion of our net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The change in the fair value of the debt was $21.5 million ($13.3 million net of taxes) as of September 30, 2017 and is reflected in long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

In March 2015, we entered into a series of cross-currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $425.0 million, hedging a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As a result of the sale of Diversey, we terminated these cross-currency swaps in September 2017 and will pay the settlement in October 2017. The fair value of the swaps on the date of termination was a liability of $61.9 million which was partially offset by semi-annual interest settlements of $17.7 million. This resulted in a net impact of $(44.2) million which is recorded in AOCI.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, settlements and changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in unrealized net gains or loss on derivative instruments for net investment hedge, a component of AOCI, net of taxes, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any portion of the net investment hedge that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in other (expense) income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Derivative Instruments

We may use other derivative instruments from time to time to manage exposure to foreign exchange rates and to access to international financing transactions. These instruments can potentially limit foreign exchange exposure by swapping borrowings denominated in one currency for borrowings denominated in another currency.

26

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

See Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments,” for a discussion of the inputs and valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of our outstanding derivative instruments.

Note 12 Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

In determining fair value of financial instruments, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. We determine fair value of our financial instruments based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

• Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

• Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

28

The following table details the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments:

	September 30, 2017
(In millions)	Total Fair Value			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Cash equivalents	$	771.4		$	771.4	$	—		$	—

Interest rate and currency swaps	$	23.9		$	—	$	23.9		$	—
Cross-currency swaps	$	(5.3	)	$	—	$	(5.3	)	$	—

Cash Equivalents

Our cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of bank time deposits (Level 1). Since these are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, they present negligible risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates. The amount of cash equivalents increased during the third quarter of 2017, primarily as a result of the cash proceeds received from the sale of Diversey.

Compensating Balance Deposits

We have compensating balance deposits related to certain short-term borrowings.  These represent bank certificates of deposits that will mature within the next 3 months.  

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency options, euro-denominated debt, interest rate and currency swaps and cross-currency swaps are recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets using a discounted cash flow analysis that incorporates observable market inputs.  These market inputs include foreign currency spot and forward rates, and various interest rate curves, and are obtained from pricing data quoted by various banks, third party sources and foreign currency dealers involving identical or comparable instruments (Level 2).

Counterparties to these foreign currency forward contracts have at least an investment grade rating. Credit ratings on some of our counterparties may change during the term of our financial instruments. We closely monitor our counterparties’ credit ratings and, if necessary, will make any appropriate changes to our financial instruments. The fair value generally reflects the estimated amounts that we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date.

Other Financial Instruments

The following financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value: (1) trade receivables, net, (2) certain other current assets, (3) accounts payable and (4) other current liabilities. The carrying amounts reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the above financial instruments closely approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

29

Other liabilities that are recorded at carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include our senior notes, except for our euro-denominated debt as discussed above. We utilize a market approach to calculate the fair value of our senior notes. Due to their limited investor base and the face value of some of our senior notes, they may not be actively traded on the date we calculate their fair value. Therefore, we may utilize prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar securities, reflecting U.S. Treasury yields to calculate the yield to maturity and the price on some of our senior notes. These inputs are provided by an independent third party and are considered to be Level 2 inputs.

We derive our fair value estimates of our various other debt instruments by evaluating the nature and terms of each instrument, considering prevailing economic and market conditions, and examining the cost of similar debt offered at the balance sheet date. We also incorporated our credit default swap rates and currency specific swap rates in the valuation of each debt instrument, as applicable.

These estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore we cannot determine them with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect our estimates.

The table below shows the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our total debt:

	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016
(In millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

⁽¹⁾  Includes borrowings denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

In addition to the table above, the Company remeasures amounts related to contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions and certain equity compensation, that were carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or for which a fair value measurement was required. Refer to Note 3 “Divestitures and Acquisitions” of the 2016 Annual Form 10-K for information regarding contingent consideration and Note 16 “Stockholders’ Equity” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for share based compensation. Included among our non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are inventories, net property and equipment, net, goodwill, intangible assets and asset retirement obligations.

Credit and Market Risk

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in interest or currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, establishing credit limits, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk.

We do not expect any of our counterparties in derivative transactions to fail to perform as it is our policy to have counterparties to these contracts that have at least an investment grade rating. Nevertheless, there is a risk that our exposure to losses arising out of derivative contracts could be material if the counterparties to these agreements fail to perform their obligations. We will replace counterparties if a credit downgrade is deemed to increase our risk to unacceptable levels.

30

We regularly monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments.

We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our diverse base of customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business and generally do not require collateral. We consider the concentrations of credit risk associated with our trade accounts receivable to be commercially reasonable and believe that such concentrations do not leave us vulnerable to significant risks of near-term severe adverse impacts. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed to mitigate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. Our sales are not materially dependent on a single customer or a small group of customers.

The net periodic costs disclosed in the tables above include the plans of Diversey which are included in assets and liabilities held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amounts of the costs disclosed above charged to discontinued operations approximately were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017			2016		2017			2016
Defined benefit pension plans	$	(0.1	)	$	1.2	$	(0.5	)	$	3.6
Other employee benefit plans	0.1			0.1		0.1			0.1
Total expense (income) included in discontinued operations	$	—		$	1.3	$	(0.4	)	$	3.7

The weighted average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used to determine the net periodic benefit cost as of December 31, 2016 was 6.7% for U.S. plans and 4.5% for our international plans. After the sale of Diversey in the third quarter of 2017 and transfer of certain related pension plans, the updated weighted average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used to determine the net periodic benefit cost is 6.7% for U.S. plans and 5.0% for our international plans.

Note 14 Income Taxes

Effective Income Tax Rate and Income Tax Provision

For interim tax reporting, we estimate one single effective tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 41.2% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 86.2%. Our year to date effective income tax rate is higher than our calculated interim rate primarily as a result of planned distributions of earnings which had previously been determined to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States. Our change in assertion for these investments is related to distributions in anticipation of the sale of Diversey.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 45.9% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 46.9%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was higher than our calculated interim rate because of an increase in valuation allowance against foreign tax credits which the Company expected to expire before utilization.

Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies

Cryovac Transaction Commitments and Contingencies

Refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our audited Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for a description of the Settlement agreement (as defined therein). As discussed within the Material Commitments and Contingencies section of Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis, we increased our unrecognized tax benefits by $104.0 million in 2015, for the recording of a reserve related to the Settlement payment. Although the disposition of this matter has not changed, the Company believes it has valid

32

defenses, and strong arguments for the validity of the deductions, the ultimate outcome of negotiations may affect the utilization of certain tax attributes and require us to return all or a portion of the $235.2 million refund.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from environmental laws and regulations, and we accrue for anticipated costs associated with investigatory and remediation efforts when an assessment has indicated that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are not reduced by potential insurance recoveries, if any. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that our liability in excess of the amounts that we have accrued for environmental matters will be material to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. Environmental liabilities are reassessed whenever circumstances become better defined or remediation efforts and their costs can be better estimated.

We evaluate these liabilities periodically based on available information, including the progress of remedial investigations at each site, the current status of discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the methods and extent of remediation and the apportionment of costs among potentially responsible parties. As some of these issues are decided (the outcomes of which are subject to uncertainties) or new sites are assessed and costs can be reasonably estimated, we adjust the recorded accruals, as necessary. We believe that these exposures are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. We believe that we have adequately reserved for all probable and estimable environmental exposures.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

We are a party to many contracts containing guarantees and indemnification obligations. These contracts primarily consist of:

• product warranties with respect to certain products sold to customers in the ordinary course of business. These warranties typically provide that products will conform to specifications. We generally do not establish a liability for product warranty based on a percentage of sales or other formula. We accrue a warranty liability on a transaction-specific basis depending on the individual facts and circumstances related to each sale. Both the liability and annual expense related to product warranties are immaterial to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations; and

• licenses of intellectual property by us to third parties in which we have agreed to indemnify the licensee against third party infringement claims.

Note 16 Stockholders’ Equity

Repurchase of Common Stock

In July 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock, reflecting its commitment to return value to shareholders. The repurchase program has no expiration date and replaced the previously authorized program, which was terminated. Refer to Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for further information.  This program replaced our prior share repurchase program, approved by our Board of Directors in August 2007 authorizing us to repurchase in the aggregate up to 20 million shares of our outstanding common stock.

In March 2017, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program by up to an additional $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased 1,661,782 and 5,198,090 shares, for approximately $72.4 million and $227.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased 3,545,828 and 4,680,313 shares, for approximately $165.0 million and $217.0 million, respectively. These repurchases were made under privately negotiated or open market transactions in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the share repurchase program previously approved by our Board of Directors.

In May 2017, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock. At the conclusion of the program in August, the Company had received a total of 2,914,955 shares and the notional program size was reduced to $129.6 million.  Over the life of the transaction, shares were repurchased at an average price of $44.47 per share.

33

In September 2017, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $400.0 million of the Company’s common stock. Through September 30, 2017, the Company had received a total of 7,368,179 shares under this agreement.

Dividends

On July 7, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share, or $30.3 million, which was paid on September 15, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of business day September 1, 2017.

The dividends paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were recorded as a reduction to cash and cash equivalents and retained earnings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our credit facility and our notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends. However, we do not believe these covenants are likely to materially limit the future payment of quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. From time to time, we may consider other means of returning value to our stockholders based on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. There is no guarantee that our Board of Directors will declare any further dividends.

Share-based Incentive Compensation

We record share-based incentive compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity based on the fair value of the share-based incentive compensation awards at the date of grant. We recognize an expense or credit reflecting the straight-line recognition, net of estimated forfeitures, of the expected cost of the program. For the various Performance Share Unit ("PSU") awards programs described below, the cumulative amount accrued to date is adjusted up or down to the extent the expected performance against the targets has improved or worsened.

The table below shows our total share-based incentive compensation expense:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Total share-based incentive compensation expense (1)(2)	$	16.6	$	16.1	$	41.9	$	48.1

⁽¹⁾  The amounts included above do not include the expense related to our U.S. profit sharing contributions made in the form of our common stock or the expense or income related to SARs and certain cash-based awards, however, the amounts include the expense related to share based awards that are settled in cash.

⁽²⁾  Of the consolidated share-based incentive compensation expense, $4.0 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 respectively, and $3.4 million and $9.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were allocated to net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the vesting conditions of select equity awards were amended which required the Company account for these changes under modification accounting. Expense incurred related to the modification accounting during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $2.1 million. This expense is included in net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Executive Officer-Designate 2017New Hire Equity Awards

On September 5, 2017, the Board elected Edward L. Doheny II, Chief Operating Officer and CEO-Designate and elected him as a Director of the Company effective September 18, 2017. As Chief Operating Officer and CEO-Designate, Mr. Doheny will work on transitioning with Jerome Peribere until December 31, 2017 and will then assume the Chief Executive Officer role effective January 1, 2018. Additionally, on September 5, 2017, the Company entered into an offer letter agreement, effective September 18, 2017, with Mr. Doheny. The Letter Agreement provides that Mr. Doheny will be granted on his start date two new-hire equity awards, one that is time-vesting and the other that is performance-vesting (the “New Hire Awards”).

The time-vesting New Hire Award, for 30,000 shares, requires Mr. Doheny to remain in service with the Company through December 31, 2020. The grant date fair value for this award was $42.89 per share.

The performance-vesting New Hire Award, for 70,000 shares, in addition to the time-vesting requirement noted above, requires that either (i) the Company’s cumulative total stockholder return for 2018-2020 be in the top 33% of its peers (using the same peers and methodology under the Company’s performance stock unit (PSU) awards) and the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2020 equals at least $60.00 per share, or (ii) the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2020 equals at least $75.00 per share. The Letter Agreement provides that the stock price as of December 31, 2020 for this purpose will be determined using a 30-day arithmetic mean of closing prices. Since the award includes a market condition, compensation expense will be recognized regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied provided that the requisite service has been provided.

The grant date fair value for this award was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation model that incorporates predictive modeling techniques using Geometric Brownian Motion and Crystal Ball’s random number generation. Other assumptions include the expected volatility of all companies included in the total shareholder return, valuation modeling of vesting payoff determination featuring both performance goals as noted above, the historical share price returns analysis of all companies included in the total shareholder return and assumes dividends are reinvested. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of peer companies for a period of time that approximates the duration between the beginning and the end of the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Zero-Coupon Treasury STRIP yield curve matching the term from the valuation date to the end of the performance period Compensation expense for the performance-vesting Inducement Award is a fixed amount determined at the grant date fair value and is recognized 100% from the time of the award to the end of the performance period regardless of whether shares are awarded at the end of the award performance period.

The assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the performance-vesting New Hire Award are shown in the following table:

	2017 Performance-vesting New Hire Award
Fair value on grant date	$	10.63
Expected price volatility	25.0		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.6		%

The awards are described in further detail in Mr. Doheny’s Offer Letter filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 7, 2017.

PSU Awards

During the first 90 days of each year, the Organization and Compensation (“O&C”) Committee of our Board of Directors approves PSU awards for our executive officers and other selected key executives, which include for each officer or executive a target number of shares of common stock and performance goals and measures that will determine the percentage of the target award that is earned following the end of the three-year performance period. Following the end of the performance period, in addition to shares, participants will also receive a cash payment in the amount of the dividends (without interest) that would have been paid during the performance period on the number of shares that they have earned. Each PSU is subject to forfeiture if the recipient terminates employment with the Company prior to the end of the three years award performance period for any reason other than death, disability or retirement. In the event of death, disability or retirement, a participant will receive a prorated payment based on such participant’s number of full months of service during the award performance period, further adjusted based on the achievement of the performance goals during the award performance period. All of these PSUs are classified as equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

2017 Three-year PSU Awards

In March 2017, the O&C Committee approved awards with a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 for certain executives. The O&C Committee established principal performance goals, which are (i) total shareholder return (TSR) weighted at 34%, (ii) 2019 consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin weighted at 33%, and (iii) Net Sales Compound Average Growth Rate in 2019 based on 2016 Net Sales weighted at 33%. The total number of shares to be issued for these awards can range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares.

The number of PSUs granted and the grant date fair value of the PSUs are shown in the following table:

35

	TSR		Net Sales CAGR		Adjusted EBITDA
Number of units granted	100,958		99,522		99,522
Fair value on grant date(1)	$	46.07	$	45.36	$	45.36

⁽¹⁾  Certain grants of the 2017 Three-year PSU awards were modified during the second quarter of 2017. The impact to our total share-based incentive compensation expense and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations is not material.

The assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the PSUs based on TSR are shown in the following table:

	TSR portion of the 2017 PSU Award
Expected price volatility	25.0	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.6	%

2014 Three-year PSU Awards

In February 2017, the O&C Committee reviewed the performance results for the 2014-2016 PSUs. Performance goals for these PSUs were based on Adjusted EBITDA margins and relative TSR. Based on overall performance for 2014-2016 PSUs, these awards paid out at 196% of target or 636,723 units.

2014 Special PSU Awards

In February 2017, the O&C Committee reviewed the performance results for the first tranche of the 2014 Special PSUs. The performance goal for the Special PSUs was based on Adjusted Free Cash Flow with potential cancellation or reduction based on 2016 Adjusted EPS and relative TSR. The overall performance for Special PSUs was above maximum achievement levels and as a result these awards paid out at 200% of target or 749,653 share-settled units. The remaining 50% of the award will be issued in the first quarter of 2018 contingent on the final performance goal of working capital as a percentage of 2017 Net Trade Sales.

Foreign Currency Translation Impact on Condensed Consolidated Financial Results

Since we are a U.S.-domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency-denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to the changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact. Historically, the most significant currencies that have impacted the translation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Results are the euro, Australian dollar, British pound, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar, and Brazilian real.

The following table presents the approximate favorable or (unfavorable) impact foreign currency translation had on some of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Results from continuing operations:

(In millions)	Three Months Ended September 30, 2017			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
Net sales	$	13.3		$	5.2
Cost of sales	(9.0		)	(5.7		)

Net Sales by Geographic Region

The following tables present the components of the change in net sales by geographic region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared with 2016.  We also present the change in net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, a non-U.S. GAAP measure, which we define as “constant dollar.” We believe using constant dollar measures aids in the comparability between periods as it eliminates the volatility of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The following net sales discussion is on a reported and constant dollar basis.

Food Care

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

As reported, net sales increased $40 million, or 6% in 2017 compared with 2016, of which $31 million was due to increase in volume output. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $30 million, or 4%, in 2017 compared with 2016 primarily due to the following:

• higher unit volumes of $33 million, primarily reflecting an increase in North America on strong demand of protein packaging and an increases in Latin America.

This was partially offset by:

• lower unit volumes of $2 million in APAC which was negatively impacted by further deterioration in the dairy market; and

• unfavorable price/mix of $1 million.

46

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

As reported, net sales increased $72 million, or 4%, in 2017 compared to 2016. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $61 million, or 3%, in 2017 compared with 2016 primarily due to the following:

• higher unit volumes of $86 million, reflecting an increase in North America on strong demand of protein packaging.

This was partially offset by:

• lower unit volumes of $17 million primarily due to historically low slaughter rates in Australia, lower unit volumes in Latin America reflecting continued economic uncertainty and social and political instability and lower unit volumes in EMEA; and

• unfavorable price/mix of $8 million, reflecting a decrease in EMEA and APAC, due primarily to pricing initiatives implemented to offset currency devaluation, and a decrease in North America which were partially offset by favorable price/mix in Latin America.

Product Care

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

As reported, net sales increased $26 million, or 7%, in 2017 as compared to 2016. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $23 million, or 6%, in 2017 compared with 2016 primarily due to the following:

• higher unit volumes of $24 million across all regions, primarily in North America due to ongoing strength in the e-Commerce and third party logistics markets as well as increased volume units in APAC.

This was partially offset by:

• unfavorable price/mix of $1 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

As reported, net sales increased $52 million, or 5%, in 2017 as compared to 2016. On a constant dollar basis, net sales increased $58 million, or 5%, in 2017 compared with 2016 primarily due to the following:

• higher unit volumes of $65 million across all regions, primarily in North America due to ongoing strength in the e-Commerce and third party logistics markets as well as increased volume units in APAC.

This was partially offset by:

• unfavorable price/mix of $8 million primarily related to the increase of e-Commerce volumes in North America.

On a constant dollar basis, cost of sales increased $52 million, or 7%, primarily due to higher raw material costs on increased sales volumes and non-material inflation.

47

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

As reported, cost of sales increased by $123 million, or 6%, in 2017 as compared to 2016. Cost of sales was impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6 million. On a constant dollar basis, cost of sales increased $117 million, or 6%, primarily due to higher raw material costs on increased sales volumes and non-material inflation and freight costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are included in the table below.

	Three months ended September 30,						%		Nine months ended September 30,						%

As reported, SG&A expenses increased by $9 million, or 5%, in 2017 as compared to 2016. SG&A expenses were impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2 million. On a constant dollar basis, SG&A expenses increased $7 million, or 4%, primarily related to salary and wage inflation.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

As reported, SG&A expenses increased by $24 million, or 4%, in 2017 as compared to 2016. SG&A expenses were impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1 million. On a constant dollar basis, SG&A expenses increased $23 million, or 4%, primarily related to $34 million related to the sale of Diversey partially offset by cost synergies, lower incentive based compensation and lower spending.

Amortization Expense of Intangible Assets Acquired

Amortization expense of intangible assets acquired for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

	Three months ended September 30,						%		Nine months ended September 30,						%
(In millions)	2017			2016			Change		2017			2016			Change
Amortization expense of intangible assets acquired	$	3.1		$	4.1		(24.4	)%	$	9.2		$	10.4		(11.5	)%
As a % of net sales	0.3		%	0.4		%			0.3		%	0.3		%

The decrease in amortization expense of intangibles for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily related to assets which were separated as a result of the sale of Diversey as well as favorable foreign exchange.

Restructuring Activities

See Note 9, “Restructuring and Relocation Activities,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding each of the Company’s restructuring programs discussed below, restructuring plan’s accrual, spending and other activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As reported in our 2016 Form 10-K, our December 2011 Integration and Optimization Program (“IOP”) and the May 2013 Earnings Quality Improvement Program (“EQIP”) are substantially complete.  In the first quarter of 2016, the Board of Directors agreed to consolidate the remaining activities of those programs together with the December 2014 Fusion program to create a single program to be called the “Sealed Air Restructuring Program” or the “Program.”

48

The combined programs are estimated to generate incremental cost savings of $100 million to $110 million per annum (which includes approximately $50 million related to discontinued operations) by the end of 2019, compared with the savings run rate achieved by the end of 2015, of which approximately $25 million is expected to be achieved in 2017, including approximately $16 million of savings in discontinued operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Program generated cost savings of $8 million and $23 million, respectively, (which included $4 million and $16 million in discontinued operations, respectively) primarily in selling, general and administration expenses.

Additionally, the Program is expected to generate one-time cash and benefits of approximately $70 million from the sale of certain assets, state and local incentives in connection with the relocation of the Company’s headquarters and reductions in working capital. Through September 30, 2017, we had generated $30 million in cash related to the sale of our facility located in Racine, Wisconsin, $10 million from other site sales and $9 million from grants and other working capital benefits.

The actual timing of future costs and cash payments related to the Program described above and our relocation activities are subject to change due to a variety of factors that may cause a portion of the costs, spending and benefits to occur later than expected. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates may impact future costs, spending, benefits and cost synergies.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes the stated interest rate on our outstanding debt, as well as the net impact of capitalized interest, the effects of interest rate swaps and the amortization of capitalized senior debt issuance costs and credit facility fees, bond discounts, and terminated treasury locks.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was as follows:

Foreign Currency Exchange (Losses) Gains Related to Venezuelan Subsidiaries

Effective January 1, 2010, Venezuela was designated a highly inflationary economy. The foreign currency exchange gains and losses we recorded in 2017 and 2016 for our Venezuelan subsidiary were the result of the significant changes in the exchange rates used to remeasure our Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements at the balance sheet date. We believe these gains and losses are attributable to the unstable foreign currency environment in Venezuela.  See Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation – Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

49

Ceasing Operations in Venezuela

Due to the ongoing challenging economic situation in Venezuela, the Company approved a program in the second quarter of 2016 to cease operations in the country. Foreign exchange control regulations have affected our Venezuelan subsidiaries ability to obtain inventory and maintain normal production. This resulted in total costs of $47.3 million being incurred in the third quarter of 2016 which included the following (i) a voluntary reduction in headcount including severance and termination benefits for employees of approximately $0.3 million, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense related to fixed assets and intangibles of approximately $0.6 million, (iii) inventory reserves of $0.4 million and (iv) the reclassification of approximately $46.0 million of cumulative translation adjustment into Net income as the Company’s decision to cease operations is similar to a substantially complete liquidation. Refer to Note 1, "Organization and Basis of Presentation," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for further details.

Other (Expense) Income, Net

See Note 18, “Other (Expense) Income, net,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the components and discussion of other (expense) income, net.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 41.2% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 86.2%. Our year to date effective income tax rate is higher than our calculated interim rate primarily as a result of planned distributions of earnings which had previously been determined to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States. Our change in assertion for these investments is related to distributions in anticipation of the sale of Diversey.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 45.9% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 46.9%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was higher than our calculated interim rate because of an increase in valuation allowance against foreign tax credits which the Company expected to expire before utilization.

Our effective income tax rate depends upon the realization of our net deferred tax assets. We have deferred tax assets related to accruals not yet deductible for tax purposes, foreign tax credits, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and investment tax allowances, employee benefit items, and other items.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) is currently auditing the 2011-2014 consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns of the Company.  Included in the audit of the 2014 return is the examination by the Service with respect to the Settlement agreement deduction and the related carry-back to tax years 2004-2012. The outcome of the examination may affect the utilization of certain tax attributes and require us to return a portion of the refund.

We have established valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets depends in part upon our ability to carry back any losses created by the deduction of these temporary differences, the future income from existing temporary differences, and the ability to generate future taxable income within the respective jurisdictions during the periods in which these temporary differences reverse.  If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, or if there is a significant change in the time period within which the underlying temporary differences become taxable or deductible, we could be required to increase our valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets. Conversely, if we have sufficient future taxable income in jurisdictions where we have valuation allowances, we may be able to reverse those valuation allowances. There was a negligible change in our valuation allowances for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Interest and penalties on tax assessments are included in income tax expense.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017Compared With the Same Period of 2016

The sale of Diversey was completed on September 6, 2017, as a result, the majority of the discontinued operations activity took place in the first two months of the quarter. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, net earnings from discontinued operations were negatively impacted by $12 million of tax expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, net earnings from discontinued operations were impacted favorably by $45 million primarily related to the release of reserves, favorable earnings mix in jurisdictions with lower tax rates, and balance sheet adjustments.

51

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net earnings from discontinued operations were negatively impacted by $28 million of tax expense, driven by a change in the repatriation strategy of foreign earnings partially offset by a favorable earnings mix. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net earnings from discontinued operations were favorably impacted by $32 million of tax benefit, which was favorably impacted by discrete items related to the repatriation strategy, the release of reserves and earnings mix.

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

We allocate and disclose depreciation and amortization expense to our segments, although property and equipment, net is not allocated to the segment assets, nor is depreciation and amortization included in the segment performance metric Adjusted EBITDA. As of January 1, 2017 we modified our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude interest income. The impact in this modification was $2 million and $5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. We also allocate and disclose restructuring and other charges and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets by segment, although it is not included in the segment performance metric Adjusted EBITDA since restructuring and other charges and impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets are categorized as special items. The accounting policies of the reportable segments and Corporate are the same as those applied to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

See Note 4, “Segments,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the reconciliation of Non-U.S. GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net earnings and other segment details.

⁽¹⁾  Corporate includes costs previously allocated to the Diversey Care segment and food hygiene and cleaning business of our Food Care segment reported within discontinued operations of $3 million and $4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $14 million and $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following is a discussion of the factors that contributed to the change in Adjusted EBITDA by segment in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the prior period.

Food Care

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

On a reported basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased $3 million in 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by favorable foreign currency translation of $2 million. On a constant dollar basis, Adjusted EBITDA remained constant in 2017 compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to the impact of:

• positive volume trends of $12 million primarily reflecting improving protein trends and adoption of our advanced product portfolio.

This was offset by:

• higher non-material manufacturing costs and direct costs of $7 million, including salary and wage inflation; and

• unfavorable mix and price/cost spread of $6 million due to higher raw materials.

52

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

On a reported basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased $5 million in 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1 million. On a constant dollar basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased $4 million, or 1%, in 2017 compared with the same period in 2016 primarily due to the impact of:

• positive volume trends of $30 million primarily reflecting improving protein trends and adoption of our advanced product portfolio; and

• $3 million of restructuring savings.

These were partially offset by:

• unfavorable mix and price/cost spread of $21 million; and

• higher non-material manufacturing costs and direct costs of $9 million, including salary and wage inflation.

Product Care

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

On a reported basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million in 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by favorable foreign currency translation of less than $1 million. On a constant dollar basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million, or 3%, in 2017 compared with the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of:

• unfavorable price/cost spread of $10 million primarily due to higher raw material and freight costs; and

• higher non-material manufacturing costs and direct costs of $2 million, including salary and wage inflation.

These were partially offset by:

• positive volume trends of $10 million primarily due to ongoing strength in the e-Commerce and third party logistics markets.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

On a reported basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $6 million in 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2 million. On a constant dollar basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4 million, or 2%, in 2017 compared with the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of:

• unfavorable price/cost spread of $34 million primarily due to higher raw material and freight costs.

This was partially offset by:

• positive volume trends of $29 million primarily due to ongoing strength in the e-Commerce and third party logistics markets.

Corporate

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

The decrease in Corporate expenses by $3 million or 9% on an as reported basis and constant dollar basis in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 reflected a decrease in costs that were previously allocated to Diversey of $1 million which were not included in net earnings from discontinued operations and restructuring savings of $2 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared With the Same Period of 2016

Corporate expenses decreased by $3 million or 3% on an as reported basis and constant dollar basis in nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared with the same period in 2016. This was primarily due to a decrease in the costs previously allocated to Diversey of $3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Principal Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of cash are the collection of trade receivables generated from the sales of our products and services to our customers and amounts available under our existing lines of credit, including our Amended Credit Facility, and our accounts receivable securitization programs. Our primary uses of cash are payments for operating expenses, investments in working capital, capital expenditures, interest, taxes, dividends, share repurchases, debt obligations, restructuring expenses and other long-term liabilities. We believe that our current liquidity position and future cash flows from operations will enable us to fund our operations, including all of the items mentioned above in the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2017, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 billion, of which approximately $432 million, or 33%, was located outside of the U.S. As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any cash trapped outside of the U.S. Our U.S. cash balances and committed liquidity facilities available to U.S. borrowers were sufficient to fund our U.S. operating requirements and capital expenditures, current debt obligations and dividends. The Company does not expect that in the near term cash located outside of the U.S. will be needed to satisfy its obligations, dividends and other demands for cash in the U.S. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following table summarizes our accumulated cash and cash equivalents:

(In millions)	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,304.7	$	333.7

See “Analysis of Historical Cash Flows” below.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

At September 30, 2017 we had $154 million available to us under the U.S. and European programs of which we had no amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2017. At December 31, 2016, we had $188 million available to us under the programs of which we had no amounts outstanding. See Note 8, “Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial for information concerning these programs.

Lines of Credit

We have a $700 million revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under the facility.  See Note 10, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial for further details.

55

There was $41 million and $83 million outstanding under various lines of credit extended to our subsidiaries at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  See Note 10, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Covenants

At September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our financial covenants and limitations, as discussed in “Covenants” of Note 10, “Debt and Credit Facilities”, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Debt Ratings

Our cost of capital and ability to obtain external financing may be affected by our debt ratings, which the credit rating agencies review periodically. Below is a table that details our credit ratings by the various types of debt by rating agency.

	Moody’s Investor Services	Standard & Poor’s
Corporate Rating	Ba2	BB+
Senior Unsecured Rating	Ba3	BB+
Senior Secured Credit Facility Rating	Baa3	BBB-
Outlook	Stable	Stable

These credit ratings are considered to be below investment grade (with the exception of the Baa3 and BBB- Senior Secured Credit Facility Rating from Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s, respectively, which are classified as investment grade). If our credit ratings are downgraded, there could be a negative impact on our ability to access capital markets and borrowing costs could increase. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Outstanding Indebtedness

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our total debt outstanding consisted of the amounts set forth in the following table.

(In millions)	September 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
Short-term borrowings	$	84.0		$	83.0
Current portion of long-term debt	2.0			297.0
Total current debt	86.0			380.0
Total long-term debt, less current portion(1)	3,219.4			3,762.6
Total debt	3,305.4			4,142.6
Less: Cash and Cash equivalents	(1,304.7		)	(333.7		)
Net Debt	$	2,000.7		$	3,808.9

⁽¹⁾  Amounts are net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs of $31 million as September 30, 2017 and $36 million as of December 31, 2016.

See Note 10, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial for further details.

Analysis of Historical Cash Flow

The following table shows the changes in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

56

	Nine months ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017			2016
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	332.5		$	468.4
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	1,904.4			(230.7		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(1,247.0		)	(249.5		)
Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash  and cash equivalents	(18.9		)	(15.9		)

In addition to net cash provided by operating activities, we use free cash flow as a useful measure of performance and as an indication of the strength and ability of our operations to generate cash. We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (which is classified as an investing activity). Free cash flow is not defined under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, free cash flow should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for discretionary expenditures, including certain debt servicing requirements or non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure. We historically have generated the majority of our annual free cash flow in the second half of the year. Below are the details of free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

	Nine months ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017			2016			Change
Cash flow provided by operating activities	$	332.5		$	468.4		$	(135.9	)
Capital expenditures	(126.5		)	(190.2		)	63.7
Free cash flow(1)	$	206.0		$	278.2		$	(72.2	)

⁽¹⁾  Free cash flow was $267 million in 2017 excluding the payment of charges related to the sale of Diversey of $61 million.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Net cash provided by operating activities of $333 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to:

• $848 million of net earnings, which included a reduction of $333 million of non-cash adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities, including $699 million gain on the sale of Diversey, partially offset by adjustments for deferred taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based incentive compensation expenses and profit sharing expenses.

This was partially offset by:

• $130 million of changes in other liabilities and assets. This activity primarily reflects the timing of certain annual incentive compensation payments, reduction in restructuring activities due to the completion of programs as well as an increase in leased assets; and

• $53 million of changes in operating assets and liabilities, as a result of an increase in trade receivables and inventory partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. This activity reflects the timing of inventory purchases offset by the related payments of cash and the seasonality of sales and collections.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net cash provided by operating activities of $468 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to:

• $315 million of net earnings, which included $310 million of non-cash adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities, including adjustments for depreciation and amortization, share-based incentive compensation expenses and the reclassification of the cumulative translation adjustment related to the Company’s decision to cease its operations in Venezuela.

57

These were partially offset by:

• $138 million of changes in other liabilities and assets. This activity primarily reflects the timing of certain annual incentive compensation payments, changes in restructuring liabilities as well as an increase in leased assets; and

• $19 million of changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily reflecting an increase in trade receivables and inventory partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. This activity reflects the timing of inventory purchases and the related payments of cash and the seasonality of sales and collections.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Net cash provided by investing activities of $1.9 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily consisted of the following:

• impact from on the sale of Diversey of $2.1 billion, net of repurchases of debt of $777 million; and

• $4 million related to the sale of businesses and property and equipment.

These were partially offset by:

• capital expenditures of $127 million;

• $25 million related to business acquisitions; and

• $1 million related to settlements of foreign currency forward contracts.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net cash used in investing activities of $231 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily consisted of the following:

• capital expenditures of $190 million;

• $43 million related to settlements of foreign currency forward contracts; and

• $6 million related to business acquisitions.

These were partially offset by:

• $8 million related to net proceeds in the sale of business and property and equipment.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Net cash used in financing activities of $1.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017was primarily due to the following:

• repurchases of common stock of $757 million;

• payments of Term Loan A due in July 2017 of $250 million and $98 million for the Brazilian tranche of Term Loan A;

• payments of quarterly dividends of $92 million; and

• acquisition of common stock for tax withholding obligations relating to stock-based compensation of $22 million.

These factors were partially offset by:

• proceeds from the termination of our cross-currency swap of $17 million.

58

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Net cash used in financing activities of $250 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the following:

• repurchases of common stock of $217 million;

• payments of quarterly dividends of $90 million;

• acquisition of common stock for tax withholding obligations relating to stock-based compensation of $23 million; and

• payments of Term Loan A of $13 million.

These factors were partially offset by:

• increases in short-term borrowings under our revolving credit facility, local lines of credit and accounts receivable securitization programs of $86 million; and

• proceeds received from the settlement of cross currency swaps of $6 million.

Changes in Working Capital

(In millions)	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		Change
Working capital (current assets less current liabilities)	$	1,058.8	$	96.3	$	962.5
Current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities)	1.7x		1.0x
Quick ratio (current assets, less inventories divided by current liabilities)	1.3x		0.8x

The $963 million, or 999.5%, increase in working capital reflected:

• an increase in cash and cash equivalent of $971 million related to the cash received as part of sale of Diversey;

• a decrease in the current portion of debt of $295 million due to principal payments of Term Loan A due in 2017 of $250 million and the Brazilian tranche of Term Loan A for $96 million;

• an increase in trade receivables consistent with higher net sales in the end of the third quarter; and

• an increase in inventory to support higher anticipated sales in the fourth quarter.

These were partially offset by:

• an increase in accounts payable consistent with the increase in inventories, continuing initiatives for longer payment terms and retained Diversey payables which the Company was reimbursed for as part of the sale of Diversey; and

• a decrease in current assets held for sale of $804 million partially offset by a decrease in liabilities held for sale of $680 million as the sale of Diversey was completed on September 6, 2017.

Changes in Stockholders’ Equity

The $151 million, or 25%, increase in stockholders’ equity in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the following:

• net earnings of $848 million;

• an increase in net unrecognized pension items of $180 million as a result of the transfer of pension plans as part of the sale of Diversey; and

• cumulative translation adjustment of $5 million.

These were partially offset by:

• a net increase in shares held in treasury of $677 million and decrease in additional paid in capital of $41 million due to the repurchase of common stock;

59

• dividends paid and accrued on our common stock of $92 million; and

• unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $72 million.

We repurchased approximately 15.5 million shares of our common stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for $677 million. See Note 16, “Stockholders’ Equity,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

At September 30, 2017, we were party to foreign currency forward contracts, which did not have a significant impact on our liquidity.

The information set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 11, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption “Foreign Currency Forward Contracts,” is incorporated herein by reference.  For further discussion about these contracts and other financial instruments, see Part I, Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, Accounting Guidance and Disclosure Requirements

We are subject to numerous recently issued statements of financial accounting standards, accounting guidance and disclosure requirements. Note 2, “Recently Issued Accounting Standards,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which is contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, describes these new accounting standards and is incorporated herein by reference.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K.  For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2016 Form 10-K, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

60

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in the conditions in the global financial markets, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices and the creditworthiness of our customers and suppliers, which may adversely affect our Condensed Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  We seek to minimize these risks through regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rates

From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps, collars or options to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.

At September 30, 2017, we had no outstanding interest rate collars or options.

The information set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 11, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption “Interest Rate Swaps,” is incorporated herein by reference.

See Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details of the methodology and inputs used to determine the fair value of our fixed rate debt. The fair value of our fixed rate debt varies with changes in interest rates. Generally, the fair value of fixed rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. A hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would result in a decrease of $74 million in the fair value of the total debt balance at September 30, 2017. These changes in the fair value of our fixed rate debt do not alter our obligations to repay the outstanding principal amount or any related interest of such debt.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Operations

As a large global organization, we face exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve and could materially impact our Condensed Consolidated Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the future. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” above for the impacts foreign currency translation had on our operations.

Economic and political events in Venezuela have exposed us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk.  See Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation – Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Argentina

Recent economic events in Argentina, including the default on some of its international debt obligations, have exposed us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risks. However, as of September 30, 2017, we do not anticipate these events will have a material impact on our 2017 results of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, approximately 1% of our consolidated net sales and operating income were derived from our businesses in Argentina. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we had net assets of $9 million (including $7 million of cash and cash equivalents) in Argentina. Also, as of September 30, 2017, our Argentina subsidiaries had a negative cumulative translation adjustment balance of $20 million.

Russia

The U.S. and the European Union (EU) have recently imposed sanctions on various sectors of the Russian economy and on transactions with certain Russian nationals and entities.  Russia has also announced economic sanctions against the U.S. and other nations that include a ban on imports of certain products.  These sanctions are not expected to have a material impact on our business as much of the operations in Russia support local production; however they may limit the amount of future business the Company does with customers involved in activities in Russia.  However, as of September 30, 2017, we do not anticipate these events will have a material impact to our 2017 result of operations. As of September 30, 2017, approximately 2% of our consolidated net sales were derived from products sold into Russia. As of September 30, 2017, we had net assets of

61

$51 million (including $8 million of cash and cash equivalents) in Russia. Also, as of September 30, 2017, our Russian subsidiaries had a negative cumulative translation adjustment balance of $24 million.

Greece

Recent economic events in Greece, including missing payment to the International Monetary Fund and the uncertainties relating to the ability of Greece to remain in the European Monetary Union may require us to tighten credit controls that will have adverse impact on our sales and bad debt expense. However, as of September 30, 2017, we do not anticipate these events will have a material impact on our 2017 results of operations. As of September 30, 2017, less than 1% of our consolidated net sales were derived from products sold into Greece. As of September 30, 2017, we had net assets of $7 million (including $4 million of cash and cash equivalents) in Greece. Also, as of September 30, 2017, our Greece subsidiaries had a positive cumulative translation adjustment balance of less than $1 million.

Brazil

Recent economic events in Brazil, including the increase in the benchmark interest rate set by the Brazilian Central Bank, have exposed us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risks. However, as of September 30, 2017, we do not anticipate these events will have a material impact on our 2017 results of operations. As of September 30, 2017, 3% of our consolidated net sales were derived from products sold into Brazil. As of September 30, 2017, we had net assets of $96 million (including $5 million of cash and cash equivalents) in Brazil. Also, as of September 30, 2017, our Brazil subsidiaries had a negative cumulative translation adjustment balance of $26 million.

United Kingdom

Recent economic events in United Kingdom, including their intention to exit from the European Union may require us to tighten credit controls that will have adverse impact on our sales and bad debt expense. However, as of September 30, 2017, we do not anticipate these events will have a material impact on our 2017 results of operations. As of September 30, 2017, 4% of our consolidated net sales were derived from products sold into the United Kingdom. As of September 30, 2017, we had net assets of $257 million (including $2 million of cash and cash equivalents) in the United Kingdom. Also, as of September 30, 2017, our United Kingdom subsidiaries had a negative cumulative translation adjustment balance of $20 million.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation

Economic and political events in certain countries have exposed us to heightened levels of inflation and foreign currency exchange risks.  The effects of these could impact our financial condition and results of operations.  See Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation – Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details regarding the impact of inflation and currency fluctuation.  Also, for a discussion of our risk factors, please refer to Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We use foreign currency forward contracts to fix the amounts payable or receivable on some transactions denominated in foreign currencies. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates at September 30, 2017 would have caused us to pay approximately $173 million to terminate these contracts. Based on our overall foreign exchange exposure, we estimate this change would not materially affect our financial position and liquidity. The effect on our results of operations would be substantially offset by the impact of the hedged items.

Our foreign currency forward contracts are described in Note 11, “Derivatives and Hedging Activities,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which is incorporated herein by reference.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps

In 2014, in connection with exercising the $100 million delayed draw under the senior secured credit facility, we entered into a series of interest rate and currency swaps in a notional amount of $100 million.  On September 30, 2016, the first $20 million swap contract matured and was settled. As a result of the settlement, the Company received $4.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, settlement payments were made in the amount of $3 million. In July 2017, we prepaid the Brazilian tranche of our Term Loan A facility due in July 2019 in the amount of $96 million in connection with the anticipated Diversey transaction. In anticipation of this loan prepayment, we terminated all the swaps used to convert the related U.S.

62

dollar-denominated variable rate obligation into a fixed Brazilian real-denominated obligation. The related activity has been classified as net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Net Investment Hedge

During the second quarter of 2015, we entered into a series of foreign currency exchange forwards totaling €270 million.  These foreign currency exchange forwards hedged a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and expired in June 2015.  The loss of $4 million ($2 million after tax) is recorded in AOCI on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The €400.0 million4.50% notes issued in June 2015 are designated as a net investment hedge, hedging a portion of our net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The change in the fair value of the debt was $22 million ($13 million net of taxes) as of September 30, 2017 and is reflected in long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  

In March 2015, we entered into a series of cross-currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $425 million, hedging a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As a result of the sale of Diversey, we terminated these cross-currency swaps in September 2017. The fair value of the swaps on the date of termination was a liability of $62 million which was partially offset by semi-annual interest settlements of $18 million. This resulted in a net impact of $(44) million which is recorded in AOCI.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, settlements and changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in unrealized net gains or loss on derivative instruments for net investment hedge, a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any portion of the net investment hedge that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in other (expense) income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Derivative Instruments

We may use other derivative instruments from time to time to manage exposure to foreign exchange rates and to access to international financing transactions. These instruments can potentially limit foreign exchange exposure by swapping borrowings denominated in one currency for borrowings denominated in another currency.

Outstanding Debt

Our outstanding debt is generally denominated in the functional currency of the borrower or in euros as is the case with the issuance of €400 million of 4.50% senior notes due 2023. We believe that this enables us to better match operating cash flows with debt service requirements and to better match the currency of assets and liabilities. The amount of outstanding debt denominated in a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar was $552 million at September 30, 2017 and $875 million at December 31, 2016.

Customer Credit

We are exposed to credit risk from our customers. In the normal course of business we extend credit to our customers if they satisfy pre-defined credit criteria. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of our customers to make required payments. An additional allowance may be required if the financial condition of our customers deteriorates. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level that management assesses to be appropriate to absorb estimated losses in the accounts receivable portfolio.

Our customers may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons. Our provision for bad debt expense was less than $1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.  The provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was less than $1 million. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $7 million at September 30, 2017 and $8 million at December 31, 2016.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our employees accumulate this information and communicate it to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only “reasonable assurance” of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily must apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under Rule 13a-15. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are currently engaged in a phased implementation and upgrade of enterprise resource planning software in certain regions, which will bring all regions on to common software over the next few years.  The implementation is being performed in the ordinary course of business to improve efficiency through the use of common software.

We report price calculations in column (b) in the table above only for shares purchased as part of our publicly announced program, when applicable. For shares withheld for minimum tax withholding obligations or other legally required charges, we withhold shares at a price equal to their fair market value. We do not make payments for shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to the forfeiture provision of the Omnibus Incentive Plan as those shares are simply forfeited.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

We are a global leader in food safety and security and product protection. We serve an array of end markets including food and beverage processing, food service, retail, healthcare and industrial, and commercial and consumer applications. Our focus is on achieving quality sales growth through leveraging our geographic footprint, technological know-how and leading market positions to bring measurable, sustainable value to our customers and investors.

We conduct substantially all of our business through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cryovac, Inc. and Sealed Air Corporation (US). Throughout this report, when we refer to “Sealed Air,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we are referring to Sealed Air Corporation and all of our subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 and our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been made. The results set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and approximate due to rounding. Some prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC on February 15, 2017 (“2016 Form 10-K”) and with the information contained in other publicly-available filings with the SEC.

On March 25, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Diversey Care division and the food hygiene and cleaning business within the Food Care division (collectively "Diversey"). The sale of Diversey was completed on September 6, 2017. The net assets of Diversey met the criteria to be classified as “held for sale” for the period ended December 31, 2016. Results of operations for Diversey are reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” for further information.

As a result of the Diversey transaction, we have also changed our segment reporting structure effective as of January 1, 2017. See Note 4, “Segments” for further information.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation

Venezuela

Economic and political events in Venezuela have continued to expose us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk.  Accordingly, Venezuela has been designated a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP, and the U.S. dollar replaced the bolivar fuerte as the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. All bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate available to us, and any changes in the exchange rate are reflected in foreign currency exchange loss related to our Venezuelan subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

2016 Activity

Effective March 10, 2016, there were only two legal mechanisms in Venezuela to access U.S. dollars. This included the DIPRO (10.0 bolivars per U.S. dollar), which replaced the CENCOEX rate and is the preferential rate for essential goods and services and; the DICOM rate, which replaced the SIMADI rate, which was allowed to float freely.

At September 30, 2016, we evaluated which legal mechanisms were available to our Venezuelan subsidiaries to access U.S. dollars. We concluded that we would use the DICOM rate to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities since it was our only legally available option and our intent on a go-forward basis to utilize this market to settle any future transactions based on the then current facts and circumstances. The DICOM rate as of September 30, 2016 was 658.8853.

During the first six months of 2016, we were only able to access the SIMADI market (during the period the market was available) and only received minimal amounts of U.S. dollars during the first three months of 2016. We did not receive any U.S. dollars via the CENCOEX (at an official rate of 6.3) or the DIPRO (at an official rate of 10.0). For any U.S. dollar denominated monetary asset or liability, such amounts do not get remeasured at month-end since it is already an asset or liability denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of this evaluation, the Company reported a remeasurement loss of $0.4 million (none of which related to continuing operations) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $3.2 million (of which $1.6 million related to continuing operations) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Due to the ongoing challenging economic situation in Venezuela, the Company approved a program in the second quarter of 2016 to cease operations in the country.  Foreign exchange control regulations have affected our Venezuelan subsidiaries ability to obtain inventory and maintain normal production. This resulted in total costs of $47.3 million being incurred which included the following (i) a voluntary reduction in headcount including severance and termination benefits for employees of approximately $0.3 million, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense related to fixed assets and intangibles of approximately $0.6 million (iii) inventory reserves of $0.4 million and (iv) the reclassification of approximately $46.0 million of cumulative translation adjustment into net income as the Company’s decision to cease operations is similar to a substantially complete liquidation.

2017 Activity

On May 19, 2017, the Venezuelan government published in Exchange Agreement No. 38 that the DICOM system would now operate through an auction process which is referred to as the new DICOM. This became effective on May 23, 2017.

At September 30, 2017, we concluded that we would continue to use the DICOM rate to remeasure our remaining bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities since it was our only legally available option and our intent on a go-forward basis to utilize this market if needed, to settle any future transactions based on current facts and circumstances. During the first nine months of 2017, we did not receive any U.S dollars via any of the legal mechanisms noted above. The new DICOM rate as of September 30, 2017 was 3,345.0 which reflects the last auction in June 2017. As a result of this evaluation, the Company reported a remeasurement loss of less than $1.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 (which included less than $0.1 million of income related to continuing operations).

We will continue to evaluate each reporting period the appropriate exchange rate to remeasure our financial statements based on the facts and circumstances as applicable.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). This update intends to align the financial statements with an entity's risk management activities. ASU 2017-12 will allow for changes in the designation and measurement of hedges as well as expand the disclosures of hedge results. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 amends the considerations for determining if a modification should be accounted for. This new guidance requires an entity to consider the fair value of an award before and after modification, the vesting conditions of the modified award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Benefit Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. This new guidance requires entities to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component outside of income from operations. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test. The amount of the impairment charge to be recognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. This screen states that when substantially all of the fair value of the group assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early application is permitted for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that entities include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in interim periods, is permitted for all entities. Retrospective transition method is to be applied to each period presented. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”).  ASU 2016-16 requires entities to recognize income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  The amendments in ASU 2016-16  are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.  Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues in regard to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates.  The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal periods. Entities may adopt earlier as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The updated guidance requires a modified retrospective adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”).  This ASU requires equity investments except those under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income.  The amendment simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. In addition, it also requires enhanced disclosures about investments.  The amendments in ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application for certain provisions is allowed but early adoption of the amendments is not permitted.  An entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, February 2017 and May 2017 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2017-05 and ASU 2017-10 respectively (ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2017-05 and ASU 2017-10 collectively, Topic 606). Previous revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 expands and enhances disclosure requirements which require disclosing sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, (“ASU 2015-14”). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allow early adoption as of the original public entity effective date. The amendments in ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 are effective in conjunction with ASU 2015-14.

The guidance permits two methods of adoption: full retrospective in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented or modified retrospective where an entity will have to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We currently anticipate adopting the modified retrospective method.

Our efforts to adopt this standard to date have focused on contract analysis at a regional level. We currently estimate the most significant impact will be on the accounting for Free on Loan equipment in our Food Care division. Whereas today we do not recognize revenue on Free on Loan equipment, under the new standard, we anticipate allocating revenue to that equipment and treating it as a performance obligation. We are in the process of assessing the timing of when revenue assigned to Free on Loan equipment would be recognized. Based on the information we have evaluated to date, we do not anticipate that the adoption of the amendments will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements with the exception of new and expanded disclosures.

Discontinued Operations, Divestitures and Acquisitions

Discontinued Operations, Divestitures and Acquisitions

Discontinued Operations

On March 25, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Diversey Care division and the food hygiene and cleaning business within our Food Care division for gross proceeds of USD equivalent of $3.2 billion, subject to customary closing conditions. The transaction was completed on September 6, 2017. We recorded a net gain on the sale of Diversey of $699.3 million, net of taxes. We intend to use the cash generated from this transaction to repay debt and maintain our credit profile, repurchase shares to minimize earnings dilution, and fund core growth initiatives, including potential complementary acquisitions to our Food Care and Product Care divisions.

The sale of Diversey will allow us to enhance our strategic focus on the Food Care and Product Care divisions and simplify our operating structure. We have classified the operating results from this business, together with certain costs related to the divestiture transaction, as discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Assets and liabilities of this business are classified as “held for sale” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016.

Summary operating results of Diversey were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017			2016			2017			2016
Net sales	$	434.6		$	651.5		$	1,667.5		$	1,924.4

Net earnings from discontinued operations	$	25.7		$	99.5		$	111.3		$	174.2

⁽¹⁾  For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was a revision to net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations related to depreciation and amortization on Diversey assets held for sale. As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $6.1 million, amortization expenses of intangible assets acquired decreased $16.5 million and income tax provision from discontinued operations increased $6.2 million.

⁽²⁾  For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, net earnings from discontinued operations was impacted by a tax expense of $12.1 million and $28.0 million, respectively, driven by a change in the repatriation strategy of foreign earnings offset by a favorable earnings mix in jurisdictions with lower rates. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, net earnings from discontinued operations were impacted by tax benefits of $44.5 million and $31.9 million, respectively, primarily related to the release of reserves, and earnings mix in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

The carrying value of the major classes of assets and liabilities of Diversey were as follows:

On April 1, 2017, the Diversey Care division acquired the UVC disinfection portfolio of Daylight Medical, a manufacturer of innovative medical devices. The preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred was approximately $25.2 million which included $3.5 million of cash paid at closing as well as a preliminary fair value of $21.7 million related to $14.4 million of noncontingent consideration which will be paid in the future and a $7.3 million of preliminary fair value for liability-classified contingent consideration. The assets and liabilities acquired as part of the acquisition are transferred with the sale of Diversey.

Divestitures

On August 1, 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell our polystyrene food tray business in Guarulhos, Brazil for a gross purchase price of R$24.0 million (or $7.5 million as of September 30, 2017). The closing of the transaction is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2017 after certain conditions are met. The purchase price is subject to working capital, cash and debt adjustments. As of September 30, 2017, there was $4.9 million of assets held for sale and $1.8 million of liabilities held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Acquisitions

On August 2, 2017, the Food Care division acquired Deltaplam Embalagens Indústria e Comércio Ltda ("Deltaplam"), a family owned and operated Brazilian flexible packaging manufacturer. The preliminary fair value of the consideration transferred was approximately $25.8 million. We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date, which included $8.1 million of goodwill and $7.4 million of intangible assets.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

Segments

As a result of the sale of Diversey, we have changed our segment reporting structure. The Food Care division now excludes the food hygiene and cleaning business, which is included in discontinued operations, and includes our Medical Applications and New Ventures businesses, which were previously reported in the “Other” category. The Other category also previously included “Corporate” which is now its own category.

The Company’s segment reporting structure now consists of two reportable segments and a Corporate category as follows:

• Food Care (including Medical Applications and New Ventures businesses);

• Product Care; and

• Corporate.

The Company’s Food Care and Product Care segments are considered reportable segments under FASB ASC Topic 280. Our reportable segments are aligned with similar groups of products and management team. Corporate includes certain costs that are not allocated to the reportable segments, primarily consisting of unallocated corporate overhead costs, including administrative functions and cost recovery variances not allocated to the reportable segments from global functional expenses.

We allocate and disclose depreciation and amortization expense to our segments, although property and equipment, net is not allocated to the segment assets, nor is depreciation and amortization included in the segment performance metric Adjusted EBITDA. As of January 1, 2017 we modified our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude interest income. The impact in this modification was $1.6 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. We also disclose restructuring and other charges by segment, although these items are not included in the segment performance metric Adjusted EBITDA since restructuring and other charges are categorized as special items as outlined in the table reconciling U.S. GAAP net earnings from continuing operations to Non-U.S. GAAP Total Company Adjusted EBITDA set forth below. The accounting policies of the reportable segments and Corporate are the same as those applied to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following tables show Net Sales and Adjusted EBITDA by our segment reporting structure:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

U.S. Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

We and a group of our U.S. operating subsidiaries maintain an accounts receivable securitization program under which they sell eligible U.S. accounts receivable to an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary that was formed for the sole purpose of entering into this program. The wholly-owned subsidiary in turn may sell an undivided fractional ownership interest in these receivables with two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks. The wholly-owned subsidiary retains the receivables it purchases from the operating subsidiaries. Any transfers of fractional ownership interests of receivables under the U.S. receivables securitization program to the two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks are considered secured borrowings with pledge of collateral and will be classified as short-term borrowings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These banks do not have any recourse against the general credit of the Company. The net trade receivables that served as collateral for these borrowings are reclassified from trade receivables, net to prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Prior to the sale of Diversey, our U.S. program was amended to remove receivables associated with Diversey and reduce the program size accordingly. As of September 30, 2017, the maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was $60.0 million, subject to the availability limits described below.

The amounts available from time to time under this program may be less than $60.0 million due to a number of factors, including but not limited to our credit ratings, trade receivable balances, the creditworthiness of our customers and our receivables collection experience. As of September 30, 2017, the level of eligible assets available under the program equaled $60.0 million. Although we do not believe restrictions under this program presently materially restrict our operations, if an additional event occurs that triggers one of these restrictive provisions, we could experience a decline in the amounts available to us under the program or termination of the program.

This program expires annually in August and is renewable.  

European Accounts Receivables Securitization Program

We and a group of our European subsidiaries maintain an accounts receivable securitization program with a special purpose vehicle, or SPV, two banks and issuers of commercial paper administered by these banks.  The European program is structured to be a securitization of certain trade receivables that are originated by certain of our European subsidiaries. The SPV borrows funds from the banks to fund its acquisition of the receivables and provides the banks with a first priority perfected security interest in the accounts receivable.  We do not have an equity interest in the SPV. We concluded the SPV is a variable interest entity because its total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the SPV to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from the bank via loans or via the collections from accounts receivable already purchased. Additionally, we are considered the primary beneficiary of the SPV since we control the activities of the SPV, and are exposed to the risk of uncollectable receivables held by the SPV.  Therefore, the SPV is consolidated in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Any activity between the participating subsidiaries and the SPV is eliminated in consolidation. Loans from the banks to the SPV will be classified as short-term borrowings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net trade receivables that served as collateral for these borrowings are reclassified from trade receivables, net to prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to the sale of Diversey, the European program was amended to remove the receivables associated with Diversey and reduce the program size accordingly.

As of September 30, 2017, the maximum purchase limit for receivable interests was €80.0 million ($94.3 million equivalent at September 30, 2017), subject to availability limits.  The terms and provisions of this program are similar to our U.S. program discussed above. As of September 30, 2017, the amount available under this program was €79.2 million ($93.3 million equivalent as of September 30, 2017).

This program expires annually in August and is renewable.

Utilization of Our Accounts Receivable Securitization Programs

As of September 30, 2017, there were no amounts outstanding under our U.S. or European programs. We continue to service the trade receivables supporting the programs, and the banks are permitted to re-pledge this collateral. Total interest expense for these programs was $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Total interest expense for these programs was $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Under limited circumstances, the banks and the issuers of commercial paper can end purchases of receivables interests before the above expiration dates. A failure to comply with debt leverage or various other ratios related to our receivables collection experience could result in termination of the receivables programs. We were in compliance with these ratios at September 30, 2017.

As of December 31, 2016, there were no amounts outstanding under our U.S. and European programs.

Restructuring and Relocation Activities

Consolidation of Restructuring Programs

In the first quarter of 2016, the Board of Directors agreed to consolidate the remaining activities of all restructuring programs to create a single program to be called the “Sealed Air Restructuring Program” or the “Program.”

The Program consists of a portfolio of restructuring projects across all of our divisions as part of our transformation of Sealed Air into a knowledge-based company, including reductions in headcount, and relocation of certain facilities and offices, which primarily reflects the relocation from our former corporate headquarters in Elmwood Park, New Jersey; and facilities in Saddle Brook, New Jersey; Racine, Wisconsin; and, Duncan and Greenville, South Carolina to our new global headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The cost of the Charlotte campus was estimated to be approximately $120 million. The Program also includes costs associated with the sale of Diversey.

Program metrics are as follows:

	Sealed Air Restructuring Program
Approximate positions eliminated by the program	1,950
Estimated Program Costs (in millions):
Costs of reduction in headcount as a result of reorganization	$245-$255
Other expenses associated with the Program	145-150
Total expense	$390-$405
Capital expenditures	250-255
Proceeds, foreign exchange and other cash items	(70)-(75)
Total estimated net cash cost	$570-$585
Program to Date Cumulative Expense (in millions):
Costs of reduction in headcount as a result of reorganization	$	234
Other expenses associated with the Program	121
Total Cumulative Expense	$	355
Cumulative capital expenditures	$	231

The following table details our restructuring activities as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

⁽³⁾  Of the total available lines of credit, $853.3 million were committed as of September 30, 2017.

Covenants

Each issue of our outstanding senior notes imposes limitations on our operations and those of specified subsidiaries. The Second Amended and Restated Syndicated Credit Facility (“Amended Credit Facility”) contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our indebtedness, liens, investments, restricted payments, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions of assets, transactions with affiliates, amendment of documents and sale leasebacks, and a covenant specifying a maximum permitted ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Facility). We were in compliance with the above financial covenants and limitations at September 30, 2017.

Recent Activity

In July 2017, we paid the full $250.0 million principal balance of the Term Loan A facility due in July 2017, upon its maturity.   

On July 1, 2017, we executed an amendment to the Amended Credit Facility in order to close on the sale of Diversey.  The amendment primarily allowed us to take steps necessary for the legal separation of the Diversey business and release the loan security effective with the sale closing.  These changes do not impact the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2017. Subsequent to the execution of the amendment, we prepaid the Brazilian tranche of our Term Loan A facility due in July 2019 in the amount of $96.3 million in connection with the anticipated Diversey transaction. An additional $755.2 million of this facility was prepaid in conjunction with the Diversey closing. As of September 30, 2017, the remaining balance of this facility was $222.2 million and no further amortization payments will be required before the maturity of the facility.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We report all derivative instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and establish criteria for designation and effectiveness of transactions entered into for hedging purposes.

As a large global organization, we face exposure to market risks, such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility relating to these exposures, we enter into various derivative instruments from time to time under our risk management policies. We designate derivative instruments as hedges on a transaction basis to support hedge accounting. The changes in fair value of these hedging instruments offset in part or in whole corresponding changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. We assess the initial and ongoing effectiveness of our hedging relationships in accordance with our policy. We do not purchase, hold or sell derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Our practice is to terminate derivative transactions if the underlying asset or liability matures or is sold or terminated, or if we determine the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring.

We record the fair value positions of all derivative financial instruments on a net basis by counterparty for which a master netting arrangement is utilized.  

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

The primary purpose of our cash flow hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on equipment and raw material purchases that are denominated in foreign currencies in order to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies. We record gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income to the extent that these hedges are effective and until we recognize the underlying transactions in net earnings, at which time we recognize these gains and losses in cost of sales, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of less than 12 months.

Net unrealized after-tax gains/losses related to these contracts that were included in other comprehensive income were $0.9 million loss and $5.7 million loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $1.3 million gain and $0.8 million loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The unrealized amounts in other comprehensive income will fluctuate based on changes in the fair value of open contracts during each reporting period.

We estimate that $0.4 million of net unrealized derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) will be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

Our subsidiaries have foreign currency exchange exposure from buying and selling in currencies other than their functional currencies. The primary purposes of our foreign currency hedging activities are to manage the potential changes in value associated with the amounts receivable or payable on transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of the changes in foreign currencies related to foreign currency-denominated interest-bearing intercompany loans and receivables and payables. The changes in fair value of these derivative contracts are recognized in other income, net, on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency-denominated items indicated above. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These contracts generally have original maturities of less than 12 months.

Interest Rate Swaps

From time to time, we may use interest rate swaps to manage our fixed and floating interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no outstanding interest rate swaps.

Interest Rate and Currency Swaps

In 2014, in connection with exercising the $100.0 million delayed draw under the senior secured credit facility, we entered into a series of interest rate and currency swaps in a notional amount of $100.0 million.  On September 30, 2016, the first $20.0 million swap contract matured and was settled. As a result of the settlement, the Company received $4.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, settlement payments were made for $2.5 million. In July 2017, we prepaid the Brazilian tranche of our Term Loan A facility due in July 2019 in the amount of $96.3 million in connection with the anticipated Diversey transaction. In anticipation of this loan prepayment, we terminated all the swaps used to convert the related U.S. dollar-denominated variable rate obligation into a fixed Brazilian real-denominated obligation. The related activity has been classified as net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Net Investment Hedge

During the second quarter of 2015, we entered into a series of foreign currency exchange forwards totaling €270.0 million.  These foreign currency exchange forwards hedged a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and expired in June 2015. The loss of $3.5 million ($2.2 million after tax) is recorded in AOCI on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The €400.0 million4.50% notes issued in June 2015 are designated as a net investment hedge, hedging a portion of our net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The change in the fair value of the debt was $21.5 million ($13.3 million net of taxes) as of September 30, 2017 and is reflected in long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

In March 2015, we entered into a series of cross-currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $425.0 million, hedging a portion of the net investment in a certain European subsidiary against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As a result of the sale of Diversey, we terminated these cross-currency swaps in September 2017 and will pay the settlement in October 2017. The fair value of the swaps on the date of termination was a liability of $61.9 million which was partially offset by semi-annual interest settlements of $17.7 million. This resulted in a net impact of $(44.2) million which is recorded in AOCI.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, settlements and changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in unrealized net gains or loss on derivative instruments for net investment hedge, a component of AOCI, net of taxes, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any portion of the net investment hedge that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in other (expense) income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Derivative Instruments

We may use other derivative instruments from time to time to manage exposure to foreign exchange rates and to access to international financing transactions. These instruments can potentially limit foreign exchange exposure by swapping borrowings denominated in one currency for borrowings denominated in another currency.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

See Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments,” for a discussion of the inputs and valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of our outstanding derivative instruments.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements and Other Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

In determining fair value of financial instruments, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. We determine fair value of our financial instruments based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

• Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

• Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The following table details the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments:

	September 30, 2017
(In millions)	Total Fair Value			Level 1		Level 2			Level 3
Cash equivalents	$	771.4		$	771.4	$	—		$	—

Interest rate and currency swaps	$	23.9		$	—	$	23.9		$	—
Cross-currency swaps	$	(5.3	)	$	—	$	(5.3	)	$	—

Cash Equivalents

Our cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of bank time deposits (Level 1). Since these are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, they present negligible risk of changes in fair value due to changes in interest rates. The amount of cash equivalents increased during the third quarter of 2017, primarily as a result of the cash proceeds received from the sale of Diversey.

Compensating Balance Deposits

We have compensating balance deposits related to certain short-term borrowings.  These represent bank certificates of deposits that will mature within the next 3 months.  

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency options, euro-denominated debt, interest rate and currency swaps and cross-currency swaps are recorded at fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets using a discounted cash flow analysis that incorporates observable market inputs.  These market inputs include foreign currency spot and forward rates, and various interest rate curves, and are obtained from pricing data quoted by various banks, third party sources and foreign currency dealers involving identical or comparable instruments (Level 2).

Counterparties to these foreign currency forward contracts have at least an investment grade rating. Credit ratings on some of our counterparties may change during the term of our financial instruments. We closely monitor our counterparties’ credit ratings and, if necessary, will make any appropriate changes to our financial instruments. The fair value generally reflects the estimated amounts that we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date.

Other Financial Instruments

The following financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts that approximate fair value: (1) trade receivables, net, (2) certain other current assets, (3) accounts payable and (4) other current liabilities. The carrying amounts reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the above financial instruments closely approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

Other liabilities that are recorded at carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include our senior notes, except for our euro-denominated debt as discussed above. We utilize a market approach to calculate the fair value of our senior notes. Due to their limited investor base and the face value of some of our senior notes, they may not be actively traded on the date we calculate their fair value. Therefore, we may utilize prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar securities, reflecting U.S. Treasury yields to calculate the yield to maturity and the price on some of our senior notes. These inputs are provided by an independent third party and are considered to be Level 2 inputs.

We derive our fair value estimates of our various other debt instruments by evaluating the nature and terms of each instrument, considering prevailing economic and market conditions, and examining the cost of similar debt offered at the balance sheet date. We also incorporated our credit default swap rates and currency specific swap rates in the valuation of each debt instrument, as applicable.

These estimates are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and therefore we cannot determine them with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect our estimates.

The table below shows the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our total debt:

	September 30, 2017				December 31, 2016

In addition to the table above, the Company remeasures amounts related to contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions and certain equity compensation, that were carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or for which a fair value measurement was required. Refer to Note 3 “Divestitures and Acquisitions” of the 2016 Annual Form 10-K for information regarding contingent consideration and Note 16 “Stockholders’ Equity” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for share based compensation. Included among our non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis are inventories, net property and equipment, net, goodwill, intangible assets and asset retirement obligations.

Credit and Market Risk

Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in interest or currency exchange rates. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, establishing credit limits, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk.

We do not expect any of our counterparties in derivative transactions to fail to perform as it is our policy to have counterparties to these contracts that have at least an investment grade rating. Nevertheless, there is a risk that our exposure to losses arising out of derivative contracts could be material if the counterparties to these agreements fail to perform their obligations. We will replace counterparties if a credit downgrade is deemed to increase our risk to unacceptable levels.

We regularly monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonably possible changes in interest and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments.

We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our diverse base of customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business and generally do not require collateral. We consider the concentrations of credit risk associated with our trade accounts receivable to be commercially reasonable and believe that such concentrations do not leave us vulnerable to significant risks of near-term severe adverse impacts. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed to mitigate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. Our sales are not materially dependent on a single customer or a small group of customers.

Income Taxes

Effective Income Tax Rate and Income Tax Provision

For interim tax reporting, we estimate one single effective tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 41.2% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 86.2%. Our year to date effective income tax rate is higher than our calculated interim rate primarily as a result of planned distributions of earnings which had previously been determined to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States. Our change in assertion for these investments is related to distributions in anticipation of the sale of Diversey.

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 45.9% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 46.9%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was higher than our calculated interim rate because of an increase in valuation allowance against foreign tax credits which the Company expected to expire before utilization.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Cryovac Transaction Commitments and Contingencies

Refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our audited Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 for a description of the Settlement agreement (as defined therein). As discussed within the Material Commitments and Contingencies section of Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis, we increased our unrecognized tax benefits by $104.0 million in 2015, for the recording of a reserve related to the Settlement payment. Although the disposition of this matter has not changed, the Company believes it has valid defenses, and strong arguments for the validity of the deductions, the ultimate outcome of negotiations may affect the utilization of certain tax attributes and require us to return all or a portion of the $235.2 million refund.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from environmental laws and regulations, and we accrue for anticipated costs associated with investigatory and remediation efforts when an assessment has indicated that a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are not reduced by potential insurance recoveries, if any. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that our liability in excess of the amounts that we have accrued for environmental matters will be material to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. Environmental liabilities are reassessed whenever circumstances become better defined or remediation efforts and their costs can be better estimated.

We evaluate these liabilities periodically based on available information, including the progress of remedial investigations at each site, the current status of discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the methods and extent of remediation and the apportionment of costs among potentially responsible parties. As some of these issues are decided (the outcomes of which are subject to uncertainties) or new sites are assessed and costs can be reasonably estimated, we adjust the recorded accruals, as necessary. We believe that these exposures are not material to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. We believe that we have adequately reserved for all probable and estimable environmental exposures.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

We are a party to many contracts containing guarantees and indemnification obligations. These contracts primarily consist of:

• product warranties with respect to certain products sold to customers in the ordinary course of business. These warranties typically provide that products will conform to specifications. We generally do not establish a liability for product warranty based on a percentage of sales or other formula. We accrue a warranty liability on a transaction-specific basis depending on the individual facts and circumstances related to each sale. Both the liability and annual expense related to product warranties are immaterial to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations; and

• licenses of intellectual property by us to third parties in which we have agreed to indemnify the licensee against third party infringement claims.

Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

Stockholders’ Equity

Repurchase of Common Stock

In July 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program of up to $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock, reflecting its commitment to return value to shareholders. The repurchase program has no expiration date and replaced the previously authorized program, which was terminated. Refer to Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for further information.  This program replaced our prior share repurchase program, approved by our Board of Directors in August 2007 authorizing us to repurchase in the aggregate up to 20 million shares of our outstanding common stock.

In March 2017, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program by up to an additional $1.5 billion of the Company’s common stock.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased 1,661,782 and 5,198,090 shares, for approximately $72.4 million and $227.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased 3,545,828 and 4,680,313 shares, for approximately $165.0 million and $217.0 million, respectively. These repurchases were made under privately negotiated or open market transactions in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the share repurchase program previously approved by our Board of Directors.

In May 2017, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase up to $150.0 million of the Company’s common stock. At the conclusion of the program in August, the Company had received a total of 2,914,955 shares and the notional program size was reduced to $129.6 million.  Over the life of the transaction, shares were repurchased at an average price of $44.47 per share.

In September 2017, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $400.0 million of the Company’s common stock. Through September 30, 2017, the Company had received a total of 7,368,179 shares under this agreement.

Dividends

On July 7, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share, or $30.3 million, which was paid on September 15, 2017, to stockholders of record at the close of business day September 1, 2017.

The dividends paid in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were recorded as a reduction to cash and cash equivalents and retained earnings on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our credit facility and our notes contain covenants that restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends. However, we do not believe these covenants are likely to materially limit the future payment of quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. From time to time, we may consider other means of returning value to our stockholders based on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. There is no guarantee that our Board of Directors will declare any further dividends.

Share-based Incentive Compensation

We record share-based incentive compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity based on the fair value of the share-based incentive compensation awards at the date of grant. We recognize an expense or credit reflecting the straight-line recognition, net of estimated forfeitures, of the expected cost of the program. For the various Performance Share Unit ("PSU") awards programs described below, the cumulative amount accrued to date is adjusted up or down to the extent the expected performance against the targets has improved or worsened.

The table below shows our total share-based incentive compensation expense:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Total share-based incentive compensation expense (1)(2)	$	16.6	$	16.1	$	41.9	$	48.1

⁽¹⁾  The amounts included above do not include the expense related to our U.S. profit sharing contributions made in the form of our common stock or the expense or income related to SARs and certain cash-based awards, however, the amounts include the expense related to share based awards that are settled in cash.

⁽²⁾  Of the consolidated share-based incentive compensation expense, $4.0 million and $10.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 respectively, and $3.4 million and $9.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were allocated to net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the vesting conditions of select equity awards were amended which required the Company account for these changes under modification accounting. Expense incurred related to the modification accounting during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $2.1 million. This expense is included in net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief Executive Officer-Designate 2017New Hire Equity Awards

On September 5, 2017, the Board elected Edward L. Doheny II, Chief Operating Officer and CEO-Designate and elected him as a Director of the Company effective September 18, 2017. As Chief Operating Officer and CEO-Designate, Mr. Doheny will work on transitioning with Jerome Peribere until December 31, 2017 and will then assume the Chief Executive Officer role effective January 1, 2018. Additionally, on September 5, 2017, the Company entered into an offer letter agreement, effective September 18, 2017, with Mr. Doheny. The Letter Agreement provides that Mr. Doheny will be granted on his start date two new-hire equity awards, one that is time-vesting and the other that is performance-vesting (the “New Hire Awards”).

The time-vesting New Hire Award, for 30,000 shares, requires Mr. Doheny to remain in service with the Company through December 31, 2020. The grant date fair value for this award was $42.89 per share.

The performance-vesting New Hire Award, for 70,000 shares, in addition to the time-vesting requirement noted above, requires that either (i) the Company’s cumulative total stockholder return for 2018-2020 be in the top 33% of its peers (using the same peers and methodology under the Company’s performance stock unit (PSU) awards) and the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2020 equals at least $60.00 per share, or (ii) the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2020 equals at least $75.00 per share. The Letter Agreement provides that the stock price as of December 31, 2020 for this purpose will be determined using a 30-day arithmetic mean of closing prices. Since the award includes a market condition, compensation expense will be recognized regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied provided that the requisite service has been provided.

The grant date fair value for this award was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation model that incorporates predictive modeling techniques using Geometric Brownian Motion and Crystal Ball’s random number generation. Other assumptions include the expected volatility of all companies included in the total shareholder return, valuation modeling of vesting payoff determination featuring both performance goals as noted above, the historical share price returns analysis of all companies included in the total shareholder return and assumes dividends are reinvested. The expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of peer companies for a period of time that approximates the duration between the beginning and the end of the performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the Zero-Coupon Treasury STRIP yield curve matching the term from the valuation date to the end of the performance period Compensation expense for the performance-vesting Inducement Award is a fixed amount determined at the grant date fair value and is recognized 100% from the time of the award to the end of the performance period regardless of whether shares are awarded at the end of the award performance period.

The assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the performance-vesting New Hire Award are shown in the following table:

	2017 Performance-vesting New Hire Award
Fair value on grant date	$	10.63
Expected price volatility	25.0		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.6		%

The awards are described in further detail in Mr. Doheny’s Offer Letter filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 7, 2017.

PSU Awards

During the first 90 days of each year, the Organization and Compensation (“O&C”) Committee of our Board of Directors approves PSU awards for our executive officers and other selected key executives, which include for each officer or executive a target number of shares of common stock and performance goals and measures that will determine the percentage of the target award that is earned following the end of the three-year performance period. Following the end of the performance period, in addition to shares, participants will also receive a cash payment in the amount of the dividends (without interest) that would have been paid during the performance period on the number of shares that they have earned. Each PSU is subject to forfeiture if the recipient terminates employment with the Company prior to the end of the three years award performance period for any reason other than death, disability or retirement. In the event of death, disability or retirement, a participant will receive a prorated payment based on such participant’s number of full months of service during the award performance period, further adjusted based on the achievement of the performance goals during the award performance period. All of these PSUs are classified as equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

2017 Three-year PSU Awards

In March 2017, the O&C Committee approved awards with a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 for certain executives. The O&C Committee established principal performance goals, which are (i) total shareholder return (TSR) weighted at 34%, (ii) 2019 consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin weighted at 33%, and (iii) Net Sales Compound Average Growth Rate in 2019 based on 2016 Net Sales weighted at 33%. The total number of shares to be issued for these awards can range from zero to 200% of the target number of shares.

The number of PSUs granted and the grant date fair value of the PSUs are shown in the following table:

	TSR		Net Sales CAGR		Adjusted EBITDA
Number of units granted	100,958		99,522		99,522
Fair value on grant date(1)	$	46.07	$	45.36	$	45.36

⁽¹⁾  Certain grants of the 2017 Three-year PSU awards were modified during the second quarter of 2017. The impact to our total share-based incentive compensation expense and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations is not material.

The assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the PSUs based on TSR are shown in the following table:

	TSR portion of the 2017 PSU Award
Expected price volatility	25.0	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.6	%

2014 Three-year PSU Awards

In February 2017, the O&C Committee reviewed the performance results for the 2014-2016 PSUs. Performance goals for these PSUs were based on Adjusted EBITDA margins and relative TSR. Based on overall performance for 2014-2016 PSUs, these awards paid out at 196% of target or 636,723 units.

2014 Special PSU Awards

In February 2017, the O&C Committee reviewed the performance results for the first tranche of the 2014 Special PSUs. The performance goal for the Special PSUs was based on Adjusted Free Cash Flow with potential cancellation or reduction based on 2016 Adjusted EPS and relative TSR. The overall performance for Special PSUs was above maximum achievement levels and as a result these awards paid out at 200% of target or 749,653 share-settled units. The remaining 50% of the award will be issued in the first quarter of 2018 contingent on the final performance goal of working capital as a percentage of 2017 Net Trade Sales.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017 and our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 have been made. The results set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and approximate due to rounding. Some prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC on February 15, 2017 (“2016 Form 10-K”) and with the information contained in other publicly-available filings with the SEC.

On March 25, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Diversey Care division and the food hygiene and cleaning business within the Food Care division (collectively "Diversey"). The sale of Diversey was completed on September 6, 2017. The net assets of Diversey met the criteria to be classified as “held for sale” for the period ended December 31, 2016. Results of operations for Diversey are reported as discontinued operations in all periods presented. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” for further information.

As a result of the Diversey transaction, we have also changed our segment reporting structure effective as of January 1, 2017. See Note 4, “Segments” for further information.

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation

Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation

Venezuela

Economic and political events in Venezuela have continued to expose us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk.  Accordingly, Venezuela has been designated a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP, and the U.S. dollar replaced the bolivar fuerte as the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. All bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate available to us, and any changes in the exchange rate are reflected in foreign currency exchange loss related to our Venezuelan subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"). This update intends to align the financial statements with an entity's risk management activities. ASU 2017-12 will allow for changes in the designation and measurement of hedges as well as expand the disclosures of hedge results. The amendments in ASU 2017-12 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 amends the considerations for determining if a modification should be accounted for. This new guidance requires an entity to consider the fair value of an award before and after modification, the vesting conditions of the modified award and the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument. The amendments in ASU 2017-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Benefit Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). ASU 2017-07 changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. This new guidance requires entities to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component outside of income from operations. The amendments in ASU 2017-07 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 as part of the goodwill impairment test. The amount of the impairment charge to be recognized would now be the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss to be recognized cannot exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when a set is not a business. This screen states that when substantially all of the fair value of the group assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early application is permitted for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that entities include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents in the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in interim periods, is permitted for all entities. Retrospective transition method is to be applied to each period presented. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (“ASU 2016-16”).  ASU 2016-16 requires entities to recognize income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  The amendments in ASU 2016-16  are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.  Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues in regard to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates.  The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal periods. Entities may adopt earlier as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), (“ASU 2016-02”). This ASU requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The updated guidance requires a modified retrospective adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”).  This ASU requires equity investments except those under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income.  The amendment simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. In addition, it also requires enhanced disclosures about investments.  The amendments in ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application for certain provisions is allowed but early adoption of the amendments is not permitted.  An entity should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We are currently in the process of evaluating this new standard update.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016, February 2017 and May 2017 within ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2017-05 and ASU 2017-10 respectively (ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-04, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2017-05 and ASU 2017-10 collectively, Topic 606). Previous revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 expands and enhances disclosure requirements which require disclosing sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, (“ASU 2015-14”). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and allow early adoption as of the original public entity effective date. The amendments in ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12 are effective in conjunction with ASU 2015-14.

The guidance permits two methods of adoption: full retrospective in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented or modified retrospective where an entity will have to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We currently anticipate adopting the modified retrospective method.

Our efforts to adopt this standard to date have focused on contract analysis at a regional level. We currently estimate the most significant impact will be on the accounting for Free on Loan equipment in our Food Care division. Whereas today we do not recognize revenue on Free on Loan equipment, under the new standard, we anticipate allocating revenue to that equipment and treating it as a performance obligation. We are in the process of assessing the timing of when revenue assigned to Free on Loan equipment would be recognized. Based on the information we have evaluated to date, we do not anticipate that the adoption of the amendments will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements with the exception of new and expanded disclosures.

[1] Due to the ongoing challenging economic situation in Venezuela, the Company approved a program in the second quarter of 2016 to cease operations in the country. Refer to Note 1, "Organization and Basis of Presentation," of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for further details.
