EDGEWELL PERSONAL CARE COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited, in millions, except per share data)

Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

Edgewell Personal Care Company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Edgewell” or the “Company”), is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and marketers of personal care products in the wet shave, sun and skin care, and feminine care categories. Edgewell operates in more than 20 countries with extensive retail reach across 50 markets.

The Company conducts its business in the following four segments:

•Wet Shave consists of products sold under the Schick®, Wilkinson Sword®, Edge, Skintimate®, Shave Guard® and Personna® brands, as well as non-branded products. The Company’s wet shave products include razor handles and refillable blades, disposable shave products, and shaving gels and creams.

•Sun and Skin Care consists of Banana Boat® and Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products, Jack Black® and Bulldog® men’s skin care products, and Wet Ones® wipes.

•Feminine Care includes tampons, pads, and liners sold under the Playtex Gentle Glide® and Sport®, Stayfree®, Carefree®, and o.b.® brands.

•Through December 2019, the Company also conducted business in its All Other segment which included infant care products, such as bottles, cups, and pacifiers, sold under the Playtex®, OrthoPro® and Binky® brand names, as well as the Diaper Genie® and Litter Genie® disposal systems. The Company completed the sale of the infant and pet care business in December 2019.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In February 2016, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, which amends existing lease accounting guidance to require recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases previously classified as operating leases. Additionally, this update requires qualitative disclosure along with specific quantitative disclosures. The Company adopted the standard October 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of prior period amounts. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized leased right of use assets and liabilities of $57.4 and $57.5, respectively. The impact to the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was not material for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Refer to Note 8 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, which eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires, for qualifying hedges, the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, eases documentation and assessment requirements and modifies certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the standard effective October 1, 2019. The impact from adoption of this new accounting pronouncement was not material to the Company's financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

7

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the treatment of share-based payment transactions used in acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The amendments note that measurement of share-based payments used to acquire goods or services should be valued at the grant-date fair value. The grant date is defined as the date at which the grantor and grantee reach a mutual understanding of the terms and conditions of the award. Finally, any awards containing a performance condition should be valued considering the probability of satisfying the necessary performance conditions consistent with employee share-based awards. The Company adopted the ASU effective October 1, 2019. The impact from adopting this guidance was not material to the Company's financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The new guidance applies to all financial instruments, including trade receivables, and requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at a reporting date to be based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Previous guidance did not include forward-looking information. The update will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial statements. The impact of the new guidance is not expected to be material and will be dependent on the credit quality of the trade receivables outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company evaluates the credit-worthiness of customers when negotiating contracts and, as trade receivables are short term in nature, the timing between recognition of a credit loss under existing guidance and the new guidance is not expected to differ materially.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 adjusting the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance updates the disclosure requirements regarding leveling of fair value assets and the valuation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The update will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other post retirement plans. The guidance removes disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of disclosures and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect it to result in a material change to the financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this ASU require an entity that is the customer in a hosting arrangement to follow the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which costs to expense. The standard also requires a customer to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement over the term of the hosting arrangement. The new guidance requires an entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when interim loss exceeds anticipated loss for the year, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

Note 2 - Divestitures

Sale of Infant and Pet Care Business

On December 17, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Infant and Pet Care business included in the All Other segment for $122.5 which included consideration for providing services for up to one year under a transition services agreement. The Company received proceeds of $107.5 including support for the transition services agreement, and the remaining sales price receivable includes $7.5 reported in current assets and $5.0 reported in other assets as of December 31, 2019. Total assets included in the sale were comprised of $19.5 of inventory, $3.2 of property, plant and equipment, and $77.8 of goodwill and intangible assets. The sale of the Infant and Pet Care business resulted in a gain of $5.2, net of expenses incurred to facilitate the closing of the transaction and in support of the transition services agreement.

Note 3 - Restructuring Charges

Project Fuel

In February 2018, the Company announced Project Fuel, an enterprise-wide transformational initiative that is designed to address all aspects of the Company’s business and cost structure, simplifying and transforming the organization, structure, and key processes that will enable the Company to achieve its desired future state operations.

The Company has incurred costs and realized savings for Project Fuel beginning in fiscal 2018 through the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and expects to incur additional costs and realize additional savings through fiscal 2021.

The Company does not include Project Fuel restructuring costs in the results of its reportable segments. The estimated impact of allocating such charges to segment results for fiscal 2020 would have been as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2019
	Wet Shave		Sun and Skin Care		Feminine Care		All Other		Corporate		Total
Project Fuel
Severance and related benefit costs	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	1.3	1.3

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2018
	Wet Shave		Sun and Skin Care		Feminine Care		All Other		Corporate		Total

Total Restructuring	$	9.6	$	0.5	$	0.3	$	0.1	$	8.0	$	18.5

Pre-tax Selling, General and Administrative expense (“SG&A”) of $1.9 and $1.4 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with certain information technology enablement expenses related to Project Fuel were included in Consulting, project implementation and management, and other exit costs.

The following table summarizes the Restructuring activities and related accrual (excluding certain obsolescence charges related to the restructuring) for fiscal 2020:

							Utilized
	October 1, 2019		Charge to Income		Other (1)		Cash		Non-Cash		December 31, 2019
Restructuring
Severance and related benefit costs	$	8.2	$	1.3	$	—	$	(2.6)	$	—	$	6.9
Asset impairment and accelerated depreciation	—		—		—		—		—		—
Consulting, project implementation and management, and other exit costs	1.3		6.7		—		(6.4)		—		1.6
Total Restructuring	$	9.5	$	8.0	$	—	$	(9.0)	$	—	$	8.5

(1)Includes the impact of currency translation.

Note 4 - Income Taxes

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company had income tax expense of $7.2 on Earnings before income taxes of $29.6. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was 24.4%. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to the unfavorable impact of the Infant and Pet Care sale.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company had income tax expense of $8.0 on Earnings before income taxes of $7.6. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was 105.7%. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to a $4.7 net transitional charge related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The rate was also unfavorably impacted by $18.5 of restructuring and other related costs in lower tax rate jurisdictions and unfavorable tax adjustments, including the impact of the share-based payment guidance.

Note 5 - Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options and restricted share equivalent (“RSE”) awards.

The following is the reconciliation between the number of weighted-average shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation: 

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2019	2018
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	54.3	54.1
Effect of dilutive securities:
RSE awards	0.1	—
Total dilutive securities	0.1	—
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	54.4	54.1

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.7 of share options and 0.1 of RSE awards because the effect of including these awards was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.6 of share options and 0.2 of RSE awards because the effect of including these awards was anti-dilutive.

Amortization expense was $4.3 and $4.5 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and for fiscal 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 is $12.7, $16.5, $16.4, $16.4, $16.3, and $16.3, respectively, and $151.0 thereafter.

The Company had indefinite-lived intangible assets of $598.2 ($179.7 in Wet Shave, $388.6 in Sun and Skin Care, $29.9 in Feminine Care, and $0.0 in All Other) at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $66.1 from September 30, 2019, which was the result of the sale of the Diaper Genie indefinite lived intangible asset. The Company had indefinite-lived trade names and brands of $664.3 ($177.7 in Wet Shave, $387.9 in Sun and Skin Care, $29.9 in Feminine Care, and $68.8 in All Other) at September 30, 2019.

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually for impairment of value or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is July 1. The Company continuously monitors events which could trigger an interim impairment analysis, such as changing business conditions and environmental factors. An interim impairment analysis may indicate that carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets require adjustment or that remaining useful lives should be revised. Refer to the sensitivity analysis in Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2019.

During fiscal 2019, the Company recorded impairment charges of $369.0, $2.0 and $37.0 on the goodwill of the Wet Shave, Skin Care, and Infant Care reporting units, respectively. The fair value of these reporting units was close to the carrying value at September 30, 2019 such that a significant decline in operations of the reporting unit could potentially result in additional impairment. Additionally, the Company recorded impairment charges of $87.0 and $75.0 during fiscal 2019 on the Wet Ones and Diaper Genie indefinite lived trade names, respectively.

Note 8 - Leases

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on October 1, 2019. The Company has elected to utilize the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows it to carryforward its historical lease classification, its assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and its assessment of initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to October 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company has elected an accounting policy not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead, account for these components as a single lease component. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that, at the commencement date, are for 12 months or less. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available for leases, including the lease term and interest rate environment in the country in which the lease exists, to calculate the present value of the future lease payments.

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment over a contracted period in exchange for payment. The Company evaluates if an arrangement is a lease at the inception date for the agreement. For operating leases entered into prior to October 1, 2019, the right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet based on the present value of the remaining future minimum payments over the lease term from the implementation date. Certain leases include an option to either renew or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, these options are included within the lease term when it has become reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Leases entered into subsequent to the implementation date calculate the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of minimum payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease.

The Company leases certain offices and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, employee vehicles, and certain manufacturing related equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

A summary of the company's lease information is as follows:

	Classification	December 31, 2019

Note 9 - Accounts Receivable Facility

On September 15, 2017, the Company entered into a $150 uncommitted master accounts receivable purchase agreement with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the purchaser (the “Accounts Receivable Facility”). Transfers under this Agreement are accounted for as sales of receivables, resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under the agreement is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company continues to have collection and servicing responsibilities for the receivables sold and receives separate compensation for their servicing. The compensation received is considered acceptable servicing compensation and, as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2019, the discount rate used to determine the purchase price for the subject receivables is based upon LIBOR plus a margin applicable to the specified obligor.

Accounts receivables sold under this agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $181.7 and $213.9, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 were $67.5 and $74.9, respectively. The net proceeds received were included in cash provided by operating activities and cash provided by investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. For the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the loss on sale of trade receivables was $0.5 and $0.6, respectively.

(2)At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the balance for the senior notes due 2022 was reflected net of discount of $0.3 and $0.4, respectively.

The Company had outstanding variable-rate international borrowings, recorded in Notes payable, of $17.0 and $14.4 as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Note 11 - Retirement Plans

The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries, which are included in the information presented below. The plans provide retirement benefits based on years of service and earnings. The Company also sponsors or participates in several other non-U.S. pension and postretirement arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented below.

The Company’s net periodic pension and postretirement cost for these plans was as follows: 

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
Service cost	$	1.1	$	0.7
Interest cost	3.4		4.7
Expected return on plan assets	(5.8)		(6.3)
Recognized net actuarial loss	2.3		1.0

Note 13 - Financial Instruments and Risk Management

In the course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives), to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have a negative impact on reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar.

16

Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other (income) expense, net. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.

Cash Flow Hedges

At December 31, 2019, the Company maintained a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective by the Company for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk.

The Company entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $0.1 and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $1.7 at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and are included in AOCI. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at December 31, 2019 levels over the next 12 months, most of the pre-tax gain included in AOCI at December 31, 2019 is expected to be included in Other (income) expense, net. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2020. At December 31, 2019, there were 61 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $125.0.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedges

The Company entered into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures and thus are not subject to significant market risk. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the three months ended December 31, 2019 resulted in a gain of $0.3, compared to a loss of $1.3 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and was recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. At December 31, 2019, there were five open foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $39.0.

The following table provides estimated fair values of derivative instruments:

	Fair Value of Asset (Liability) (1)
	December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging relationships:
Foreign currency contracts	$	(0.1)	$	1.7
Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedging relationships:
Foreign currency contracts	$	0.2	$	0.4

(1)All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets. All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities.

The following table provides the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging relationships:
Foreign currency contracts
Loss recognized in OCI (1)	$	(0.9)	$	(0.2)
Gain reclassified from AOCI into income (effective portion) (1) (2)	0.9		1.8
Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedging relationships:
Foreign currency contracts
Gain (loss) recognized in income (2)	$	0.3	$	(1.3)

17

(1)Each of these derivative instruments had a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged for the periods indicated and had been deemed highly effective in offsetting associated risk.

(2)Gain (loss) was recorded in Other (income) expense, net.

The following table provides financial assets and liabilities for balance sheet offsetting:

	At December 31, 2019				At September 30, 2019
	Assets (1)		Liabilities (2)		Assets (1)		Liabilities (2)

Gross amounts of recognized assets (liabilities)	$	1.0	$	(0.7)	$	2.4	$	(0.5)
Gross amounts offset in the balance sheet	(0.2)		—		—		0.2
Net amounts of assets (liabilities) presented in the balance sheet	$	0.8	$	(0.7)	$	2.4	$	(0.3)

(1)All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets.

(2)All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:

	December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019
Liabilities at estimated fair value:
Deferred compensation	$	(40.1)	$	(40.6)
Derivatives - foreign currency contracts	0.1		2.1
Net liabilities at estimated fair value	$	(40.0)	$	(38.5)

At December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first the quoted market prices of comparable agreements or, in the absence of quoted market prices, factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the investment options that are offered under the plan.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the Company had no Level 1 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,095.6 and $1,071.2, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,100.0. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, excluding revolving credit facilities, have been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. Additionally, the carrying amounts of the Company’s revolving credit facilities, which are classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet, approximate fair value due to the revolving nature of the balances. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, and the revolving credit agreements have been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Note 14 - Segment Data

For an overview of the Company’s segments, refer to Note 1 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, restructuring charges, and certain costs deemed non-recurring in nature, including: acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain on the disposal of the Infant and Pet Care business, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and the amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.

The Company completed the sale of its Infant and Pet Care business in December 2019. As a result, no additional Net Sales or Segment Profit will be reported for the All Other segment in subsequent periods.

The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between the segments. Such allocations are estimates and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a stand-alone basis.

Note 16 - Subsequent Event

Harry's Acquisition

On May 9, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) under which the Company would combine with Harry’s in a cash and stock transaction that valued Harry’s at $1,370.0 (the “Merger”). The Merger was approved by the Boards of Directors of both our Company and Harry’s. On February 9, 2020, following the U.S Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) lawsuit seeking to block the proposed transaction, the Company terminated its merger agreement with Harry’s. Harry’s has informed the Company that it intends to pursue litigation. The Company believes that such litigation has no merit. Following termination of the Merger Agreement, the previously announced commitment letter between the Company and Bank of America Merrill Lynch pursuant to which Bank of America Merrill Lynch committed to provide a senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loans in connection with the Merger has also been terminated.

The Company incurred costs associated with the combination with Harry’s totaling $6.2 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which were included in SG&A on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

(in millions, except per share data, unaudited)

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed within “Forward-Looking Statements” below and in Item 1A. Risk Factors and “Forward-Looking Statements” included within our 2019 Annual Report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Edgewell Personal Care Company (“Edgewell”, “we” or “our Company”) or any of our businesses. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “expectation,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “belief,” “estimate,” “plan,” “target,” “predict,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “outlook,” or other similar words or phrases. These statements are not based on historical facts, but instead reflect our expectations, estimates, or projections concerning future results or events, including, without limitation, the future earnings and performance of our Company or any of our businesses. These statements are not guarantees of performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. We cannot assure you that any of our expectations, estimates or projections will be achieved. The forward-looking statements included in this report are only made as of the date of this report, and we disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, except as required by law. You should not place undue reliance on these statements.

In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently consider immaterial could significantly affect the forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty. Risks and uncertainties include those detailed from time to time in our publicly filed documents, including in Item 1A. Risk Factors of Part I of our 2019 Annual Report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

While we report financial results in accordance with GAAP, this discussion also includes Non-GAAP measures. These Non-GAAP measures are referred to as “adjusted” or “organic” and exclude items such as restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, and the disposition of the Pet and Infant Care business, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and the amortization of intangibles. Reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures are included within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Non-GAAP information is provided as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use this Non-GAAP information internally to make operating decisions and believe it is helpful to investors because it allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of ongoing operating results. Given the various significant events, including the Project Fuel restructuring and acquisition of Harry's, we view the use of Non-GAAP measures that take into account the impact of these unique events as particularly valuable in understanding our underlying operational results and providing insights into future performance. The information can also be used to perform trend analysis and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by the types of items that are excluded. This Non-GAAP information is also a component in determining management’s incentive compensation. Finally, we believe this information provides more transparency. The following provides additional detail on our Non-GAAP measures:

•We analyze our net sales and segment profit on an organic basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. Organic net sales and organic segment profit exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency, acquisitions, and divestitures (including the disposition of the Infant and Pet Care business). This information is provided because these types of fluctuations can distort the underlying change in net sales and segment profit either positively or negatively.

•Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share are defined as net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding items such as restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain or loss on the disposal of a business, business development evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and the related tax effects of these items.

28

•Adjusted effective tax rate is defined as the effective tax rate excluding items such as restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain or loss on the disposal of a business, business development evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and the related tax effects of these items from the income tax provision and earnings before income taxes.

•Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities less net capital expenditures. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow as a percentage of net earnings adjusted for the net impact of non-cash impairments.

All comparisons are with the same period in the prior year, unless otherwise noted.

Industry and Market Data

Unless we indicate otherwise, we base the information concerning our industry contained or incorporated by reference herein on our general knowledge of and expectations concerning the industry. Our market position, market share, and industry market size are based on our estimates using internal data and data from various industry analyses, our internal research and adjustments, and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. We have not independently verified data from industry analyses and cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness. In addition, we believe that data regarding the industry, market size and our market position and market share within such industry provide general guidance but are inherently imprecise and have not been verified by any independent source. Further, our estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Annual Report. These, and other factors, could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates and assumptions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this data.

Retail sales for purposes of market size, market position and market share information are based on retail sales in U.S. dollars.

Trademarks and Trade Names

We own or have rights to use trademarks and trade names that we use in conjunction with the operation of our business, which appear throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We also may refer to brand names, trademarks, service marks and trade names of other companies and organizations, and these brand names, trademarks, service marks and trade names are the property of their respective owners.

Significant Events

Divestiture

On December 17, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Infant and Pet Care business included in the All Other segment for $122.5 which included consideration for providing services for up to one year under a transition services agreement. For further information on our restructuring projects, refer to Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Project Fuel

In February 2018, we announced Project Fuel, an enterprise-wide transformational initiative that is designed to address all aspects of our business and cost structure, simplifying and transforming the organization, structure and key processes that will enable us to achieve our desired future state operations.

In addition to the expected cost savings and improved profitability, Project Fuel is designed to strengthen our challenger culture and reinforce our consumer-centric organizational focus. It is also designed to simplify the organization and streamline ways of working in order to increase competitiveness, speed and agility, and ensure we have the skills, capabilities and investments needed to compete in a rapidly changing marketplace.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Project Fuel related savings were approximately $15, bringing cumulative savings to $152 for Project Fuel to date. Restructuring and related charges and capital expenditures were $8.0 and $4.8, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

We expect Project Fuel will generate $225 to $240 in total annual gross savings by the end of the 2021 fiscal year. It is expected that the savings generated will be used to fuel investments and brand building in strategic growth initiatives, offset anticipated operational headwinds from inflation and other rising input costs, and improve our overall profitability and cash flow.

To implement the restructuring element of Project Fuel, we estimated one-time pre-tax charges to be approximately $130 to $140, with an additional capital investment of $60 to $70 through the end of fiscal year 2021.

For further information on our restructuring projects, refer to Note 3 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Executive Summary

The following is a summary of key results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Net earnings and earnings per share (“EPS”) for the periods presented were impacted by restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain on the disposition of the Infant and Pet Care business, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and the impact of the Tax Act as described in the table below. The impact of these items on reported net earnings and EPS are provided as a reconciliation of net earnings and EPS to adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS, both of which are Non-GAAP measures.

First Quarter of Fiscal 2020

•Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $454.0, down 0.7% compared to the prior year quarter, inclusive of a 0.2% decline from the sale of the Infant and Pet Care business and a 0.5% decline due to currency movements. Excluding the divestiture of Infant and Pet Care business and currency movements, organic net sales were flat compared to the prior year period, as growth in Sun and Skin Care from increased volumes, was offset by declines in Wet Shave.

•Net earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $22.4 compared to a loss of $0.4 in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, as illustrated in the following table, net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 48.0% to $29.9. The improvement was primarily driven by improved gross margin and lower advertising and promotion expense (“A&P”).

•Net earnings per diluted share during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $0.41 compared to a loss of $0.01 in the prior year quarter. On an adjusted basis, as illustrated in the following table, net earnings per diluted share during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $0.55 compared to $0.37 in the prior year quarter.

(1)Includes Income tax expense for adjustments to Net Earnings and Diluted EPS — GAAP for fiscal 2020 and 2019. Additionally, the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was impacted by $4.7 related to the transition tax from the Tax Act.

Operating Results

The following table presents changes in net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2019, and provides a reconciliation of organic net sales to reported amounts.

Net Sales

Net Sales - Total Company
Quarter Ended December 31, 2019
	Q1		% Chg
Net sales - prior year	$	457.1
Organic	—		—	%
Impact of Infant and Pet Care divestiture	(1.0)		(0.2)	%
Impact of currency	(2.1)		(0.5)	%
Net sales - current year	$	454.0	(0.7)	%

30

For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, net sales were $454.0, a 0.7% decrease when compared with the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the Infant and Pet Care divestiture and currency movements, organic net sales were flat versus the prior year period. Organic net sales growth in the Sun and Skin Care and Feminine Care segments was offset by declines in Wet Shave. North America organic net sales grew for the first time since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, increasing 60 basis points over the prior year period.

For further discussion regarding net sales, including a summary of reported versus organic changes, see “Segment Results.”

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $193.1 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, as compared to $193.5 in the prior year period. Gross margin as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was 42.5%, representing a 20 basis point increase over the prior year gross margin of 42.3%. The improvement in gross margin percentage compared to the prior year quarter is primarily related to lower sourcing and distribution costs as a result of Project Fuel and positive mix, offset partially by increased price investment and trade spend.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

SG&A was $95.0 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, or 20.9% of net sales, as compared to $87.3 in the prior year period, or 19.1% of net sales. Excluding SG&A costs associated with the acquisition and integration planning, Project Fuel, and expenses associated with the divestiture of the Infant and Pet Care business, SG&A as a percent of net sales increased by 50 basis points. The increase in SG&A as a percent of sales was driven by higher personnel costs in the current year quarter including deferred compensation related expenses. These increases were partially offset by savings generated through reduction of overheads as an initiative for Project Fuel.

Advertising and Sales Promotion Expense

For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, A&P was $41.1, down $10.5 as compared to the prior year period. A&P spending as a percent of net sales was 9.1%, as compared to 11.3% in the prior year period. The decline in A&P was a planned decrease in spending and is related to the Hydro and Intuition f.a.b. campaigns in the prior year period.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense (“R&D”) for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $13.8, compared to $12.6 in the prior year period. As a percent of sales, R&D was 3.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 2.8% in the prior year period. The increase in R&D as a percent of net sales compared to the prior year is primarily driven by incremental investments in resources and capabilities in support of the Company’s focus on innovation and development.

Interest Expense Associated with Debt

Interest expense associated with debt for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $14.3, a decrease from the prior year period of $16.0. The decline in interest expense was the result of lower average outstanding debt primarily related to the $185 term loan due April 2019 (the “Term Loan”) that was repaid in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Additionally, there were no borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2019.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other income was $1.6 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to expense of $1.3 in the prior year period. The increase compared to the prior period relates to favorable foreign currency exchange contract gains and revaluation of nonfunctional currency balance sheet exposures, partially offset by increased pension expense.

31

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was 24.4% compared to 105.7% in the prior year period. The effective tax rate includes the unfavorable impact of the disposition of the Infant and Pet Care business and restructuring and other related costs in lower tax rate jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the prior period includes a $4.7 increase in tax expense related to net charges from the Tax Act. The rate was also unfavorably impacted by $18.5 of restructuring and other related costs in lower tax rate jurisdictions and unfavorable tax adjustments, including the share-based payment guidance. Excluding the tax impact of restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain on the disposition of the Infant and Pet Care business, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, and legal settlement expenses, the adjusted effective tax rate was 23.2% and 26.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively. The adjusted effective tax rate for fiscal 2020 is expected to be in the range of 20.0% to 22.0%; however, both the effective tax rate and the adjusted effective tax rate are dependent upon the mix of earnings in various tax jurisdictions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the adjusted effective tax rate, which is a Non-GAAP measure:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2019								Three Months Ended December 31, 2018
	Reported			Adjustments (1)		Adjusted (Non-GAAP)			Reported			Adjustments (1)		Adjusted (Non-GAAP)
Earnings before income taxes	$	29.6		$	9.3	$	38.9		$	7.6		$	20.0	$	27.6

Effective tax rate	24.4		%						105.7		%
Adjusted effective tax rate						23.2		%						26.6		%

(1)Includes adjustments for the impact of the Tax Act, restructuring charges, acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain on the divestiture of the Infant and Pet Care business, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, and legal settlement expense. See reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings.

Wet Shave net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 3.7%, inclusive of a 0.4% decline due to currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales decreased $9.4, or 3.3%, reflecting declines in Men's Systems and Disposables, partly offset by growth in Women's Systems and Shave Preps. By region, North America organic net sales declined 3.0%, driven by lower volumes and unfavorable pricing, while International markets declined 3.5%, largely impacted by last quarter's increased sales volume ahead of a VAT increase in Japan.

Wet Shave segment profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $52.9, down $2.1, or 3.8%, inclusive of the impact of currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic segment profit decreased $2.0, or 3.6%, as unfavorable price mix in Men's and Women's Systems and lower volumes were partially offset by planned lower advertising and promotional spend.

Sun and Skin Care

Sun and Skin Care segment net sales and segment profit are affected by the seasonality of sun care products. As a result, segment net sales and segment profit historically have been higher in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year.

Net Sales - Sun and Skin Care
Quarter Ended December 31, 2019
	Q1		% Chg
Net sales - prior year	$	66.7
Organic	9.1		13.6	%

Sun and Skin Care net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 12.6%, inclusive of a 1.0% decline due to currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales increased $9.1, or 13.6%, driven by volume growth in Sun Care, Grooming, and Wipes, as well as favorable price mix. Geographically, organic net sales growth increased in North America and International, with strong performance in Oceania.

Segment profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $0.1, an improvement of $0.7 or 116.7% compared to the prior year quarter, inclusive of the impact of currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic segment profit increased $0.8, or 133.3%, driven by higher gross margin from higher volumes in North America and Latin America and favorable price mix in Asia Pacific. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable cost mix from higher obsolescence charges in North America and increased A&P spend to support Sun Care in North America and Asia Pacific.

Feminine Care net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased $0.4, or 0.6%, inclusive of a 0.1% decline due to the impact of currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency movements, organic net sales increased 0.7%, driven by volume growth in Sport and o.b. tampons and improved price mix in Gentle Glide partially offset by declines in Stayfree pads.

Feminine Care segment profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $13.1, an increase of $5.6, or 74.7%. The increase in segment profit was driven by favorable materials price and usage, higher volumes, lower freight costs and lower A&P, of which a portion was shifted to trade spend.

All Other

The Infant and Pet Care divestiture completed in December 2019 effectively disposed of the entirety of operations of the All Other segment. The results below represent segment performance through the sale date.

The decline in corporate expense relates to Project Fuel savings, prior year legal costs that were not recurring, which was partially offset by increased personnel costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2019, most of our cash balances were located outside the U.S. Given our extensive international operations, a significant portion of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We generally repatriate a portion of current year earnings from select non-U.S. subsidiaries only if the economic cost of the repatriation is not considered material.

The counterparties to deposits consist of a number of major financial institutions. We consistently monitor positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.

Our total borrowings were $1,117.0 at December 31, 2019. Our total borrowings at September 30, 2019 were $1,231.4.

As of December 31, 2019, we did not have any outstanding borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S. (the “Revolving Facility”). We had $7.4 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2019, $717.6 remains available under the Revolving Facility. At September 30, 2019, we had outstanding borrowings of $117.0 under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility matures in June 2020 and $600.0 of the senior notes mature in May 2021. We expect to refinance both prior to their maturity.

We had outstanding international borrowings, recorded in Notes payable, of $17.0 and $14.4 as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Historically, we have generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flows from operations. Our cash flows are affected by the seasonality of our Sun Care products, resulting in higher net sales and increased cash generated in the second and third quarter of each fiscal year. We believe our cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowing under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to satisfy our future working capital requirements, interest payments, research and development activities, capital expenditures, and other financing requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Short-term financing needs primarily consist of working capital requirements, principal, and interest payments on our long-term debt. Long-term financing needs will depend largely on potential growth opportunities, including acquisition activity and repayment or refinancing of our long-term debt obligations. We may, from time-to-time, seek to repurchase shares of our common stock. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. Our long-term liquidity may be influenced by our ability to borrow additional funds, renegotiate existing debt, and raise equity under terms that are favorable to us.

The expected minimum required contribution to our pension plans in fiscal 2020 is $10.4; however, discretionary contributions may also be made. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020 we contributed $1.3 to our pension plans.

As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with our debt agreements.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash flow activities is provided in the following table:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2019		2018
Net cash (used by) from:
Operating activities	$	(46.9)	$	(46.4)
Investing activities	89.7		(2.9)
Financing activities	(135.9)		24.5
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash	3.3		(1.7)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(89.8)	$	(26.5)

Operating Activities

Cash flow used by operating activities was $46.9 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to $46.4 during the same period in the prior year. Due to the seasonality of our Company’s business, primarily in Sun Care, the first fiscal quarter is typically the lowest operating cash flow quarter of the year.

36

Investing Activities

Cash flow from investing activities was $89.7 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to cash used by investing activities of $2.9 during the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we collected $95.8 of proceeds from the sale of the Infant and Pet Care business. Capital expenditures were $7.6 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $9.4 during the same period in the prior year. Additionally, other investing cash inflows totaled $1.5 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $6.5 in the prior year quarter.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $135.9 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to net cash from financing activities of $24.5 during the same period in the prior year. During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we made repayments of $117.0 on the Revolving Facility. Additionally, financing outflows associated with the Accounts Receivable Facility were $14.9 the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to financing outflows of $5.1 in the prior year quarter.

Share Repurchases

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. We have 10.0 common shares available for repurchase in the future under the Board’s authorization to repurchase our common shares. Any future share repurchases may be made in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in such amounts and at such times as we deem appropriate based upon prevailing market conditions, business needs and other factors.

Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

During the first three months of fiscal 2020, net repayments on our revolving credit facilities were $117.0. As of December 31, 2019, future minimum repayments of debt were: $600.0 in fiscal 2021, and $500.0 in fiscal 2022.

There have been no other material changes in our contractual obligations since the presentation in our 2019 Annual Report.

37

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The market risk inherent in our financial instruments and positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates, commodity prices, and interest rates. At times, we enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce these exposures. For further information on our foreign currency derivative instruments, refer to Note 13 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2019, there were no open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchases of raw materials or commodities. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our variable-rate debt instruments, which currently bear interest based on LIBOR plus margin. As of December 31, 2019, our outstanding variable-rate debt included $17.0 related to our international, variable-rate note payable. Assuming a one-percent increase in the applicable interest rates, annual interest expense on these variable-rate debt instruments would not increase materially.

There have been no material changes in our assessment of market risk sensitivity since our presentation of Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2019 Annual Report.

38

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the specified time periods, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We implemented changes to internal controls due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 for leases effective October 1, 2019. These changes include implementing a new lease accounting system and processes to evaluate and account for leases under the new accounting standard. Other than described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Restructuring Charges

Project Fuel

In February 2018, the Company announced Project Fuel, an enterprise-wide transformational initiative that is designed to address all aspects of the Company’s business and cost structure, simplifying and transforming the organization, structure, and key processes that will enable the Company to achieve its desired future state operations.

The Company has incurred costs and realized savings for Project Fuel beginning in fiscal 2018 through the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and expects to incur additional costs and realize additional savings through fiscal 2021.

The Company does not include Project Fuel restructuring costs in the results of its reportable segments. The estimated impact of allocating such charges to segment results for fiscal 2020 would have been as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2019
	Wet Shave		Sun and Skin Care		Feminine Care		All Other		Corporate		Total

Total Restructuring	$	9.6	$	0.5	$	0.3	$	0.1	$	8.0	$	18.5

Pre-tax Selling, General and Administrative expense (“SG&A”) of $1.9 and $1.4 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with certain information technology enablement expenses related to Project Fuel were included in Consulting, project implementation and management, and other exit costs.

The following table summarizes the Restructuring activities and related accrual (excluding certain obsolescence charges related to the restructuring) for fiscal 2020:

							Utilized

Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

Edgewell Personal Care Company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Edgewell” or the “Company”), is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and marketers of personal care products in the wet shave, sun and skin care, and feminine care categories. Edgewell operates in more than 20 countries with extensive retail reach across 50 markets.

The Company conducts its business in the following four segments:

•Wet Shave consists of products sold under the Schick®, Wilkinson Sword®, Edge, Skintimate®, Shave Guard® and Personna® brands, as well as non-branded products. The Company’s wet shave products include razor handles and refillable blades, disposable shave products, and shaving gels and creams.

•Sun and Skin Care consists of Banana Boat® and Hawaiian Tropic® sun care products, Jack Black® and Bulldog® men’s skin care products, and Wet Ones® wipes.

•Feminine Care includes tampons, pads, and liners sold under the Playtex Gentle Glide® and Sport®, Stayfree®, Carefree®, and o.b.® brands.

•Through December 2019, the Company also conducted business in its All Other segment which included infant care products, such as bottles, cups, and pacifiers, sold under the Playtex®, OrthoPro® and Binky® brand names, as well as the Diaper Genie® and Litter Genie® disposal systems. The Company completed the sale of the infant and pet care business in December 2019.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the interim results reported. The fiscal year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all of the annual disclosures required by GAAP; accordingly, these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In February 2016, the Financial Account Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, which amends existing lease accounting guidance to require recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases previously classified as operating leases. Additionally, this update requires qualitative disclosure along with specific quantitative disclosures. The Company adopted the standard October 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach with no restatement of prior period amounts. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized leased right of use assets and liabilities of $57.4 and $57.5, respectively. The impact to the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was not material for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Refer to Note 8 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, which eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires, for qualifying hedges, the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, eases documentation and assessment requirements and modifies certain disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the standard effective October 1, 2019. The impact from adoption of this new accounting pronouncement was not material to the Company's financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the treatment of share-based payment transactions used in acquiring goods and services from non-employees. The amendments note that measurement of share-based payments used to acquire goods or services should be valued at the grant-date fair value. The grant date is defined as the date at which the grantor and grantee reach a mutual understanding of the terms and conditions of the award. Finally, any awards containing a performance condition should be valued considering the probability of satisfying the necessary performance conditions consistent with employee share-based awards. The Company adopted the ASU effective October 1, 2019. The impact from adopting this guidance was not material to the Company's financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The new guidance applies to all financial instruments, including trade receivables, and requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at a reporting date to be based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Previous guidance did not include forward-looking information. The update will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial statements. The impact of the new guidance is not expected to be material and will be dependent on the credit quality of the trade receivables outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company evaluates the credit-worthiness of customers when negotiating contracts and, as trade receivables are short term in nature, the timing between recognition of a credit loss under existing guidance and the new guidance is not expected to differ materially.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 adjusting the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance updates the disclosure requirements regarding leveling of fair value assets and the valuation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The update will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other post retirement plans. The guidance removes disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of disclosures and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect it to result in a material change to the financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this ASU require an entity that is the customer in a hosting arrangement to follow the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to capitalize and which costs to expense. The standard also requires a customer to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement over the term of the hosting arrangement. The new guidance requires an entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when interim loss exceeds anticipated loss for the year, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates, and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

Subsequent Event

Harry's Acquisition

On May 9, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) under which the Company would combine with Harry’s in a cash and stock transaction that valued Harry’s at $1,370.0 (the “Merger”). The Merger was approved by the Boards of Directors of both our Company and Harry’s. On February 9, 2020, following the U.S Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) lawsuit seeking to block the proposed transaction, the Company terminated its merger agreement with Harry’s. Harry’s has informed the Company that it intends to pursue litigation. The Company believes that such litigation has no merit. Following termination of the Merger Agreement, the previously announced commitment letter between the Company and Bank of America Merrill Lynch pursuant to which Bank of America Merrill Lynch committed to provide a senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loans in connection with the Merger has also been terminated.

The Company incurred costs associated with the combination with Harry’s totaling $6.2 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which were included in SG&A on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Leases [Abstract]

Lessee, Operating Leases

Leases

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on October 1, 2019. The Company has elected to utilize the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows it to carryforward its historical lease classification, its assessment on whether a contract was or contains a lease, and its assessment of initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to October 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company has elected an accounting policy not to separate non-lease components from lease components and instead, account for these components as a single lease component. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases that, at the commencement date, are for 12 months or less. For leases that do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available for leases, including the lease term and interest rate environment in the country in which the lease exists, to calculate the present value of the future lease payments.

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment over a contracted period in exchange for payment. The Company evaluates if an arrangement is a lease at the inception date for the agreement. For operating leases entered into prior to October 1, 2019, the right of use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet based on the present value of the remaining future minimum payments over the lease term from the implementation date. Certain leases include an option to either renew or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, these options are included within the lease term when it has become reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Leases entered into subsequent to the implementation date calculate the operating lease ROU asset and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of minimum payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease.

The Company leases certain offices and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, employee vehicles, and certain manufacturing related equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. All recorded leases are classified as operating leases and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

A summary of the company's lease information is as follows:

	Classification	December 31, 2019

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company had income tax expense of $7.2 on Earnings before income taxes of $29.6. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was 24.4%. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to the unfavorable impact of the Infant and Pet Care sale.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company had income tax expense of $8.0 on Earnings before income taxes of $7.6. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was 105.7%. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to a $4.7 net transitional charge related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The rate was also unfavorably impacted by $18.5 of restructuring and other related costs in lower tax rate jurisdictions and unfavorable tax adjustments, including the impact of the share-based payment guidance.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Data

Segment Data

For an overview of the Company’s segments, refer to Note 1 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, restructuring charges, and certain costs deemed non-recurring in nature, including: acquisition and integration planning costs, the gain on the disposal of the Infant and Pet Care business, Feminine and Infant Care evaluation costs, legal settlement expenses, and the amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of such charges from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.

The Company completed the sale of its Infant and Pet Care business in December 2019. As a result, no additional Net Sales or Segment Profit will be reported for the All Other segment in subsequent periods.

The Company’s operating model includes some shared business functions across the segments, including product warehousing and distribution, transaction processing functions and, in most cases, combined sales force and management teams. The Company applies a fully allocated cost basis in which shared business functions are allocated between the segments. Such allocations are estimates and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a stand-alone basis.

Total amortizable intangible assets	$	461.1	$	215.5	$	245.6	$	460.9	$	212.3	$	248.6

Amortization expense was $4.3 and $4.5 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and for fiscal 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 is $12.7, $16.5, $16.4, $16.4, $16.3, and $16.3, respectively, and $151.0 thereafter.

The Company had indefinite-lived intangible assets of $598.2 ($179.7 in Wet Shave, $388.6 in Sun and Skin Care, $29.9 in Feminine Care, and $0.0 in All Other) at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $66.1 from September 30, 2019, which was the result of the sale of the Diaper Genie indefinite lived intangible asset. The Company had indefinite-lived trade names and brands of $664.3 ($177.7 in Wet Shave, $387.9 in Sun and Skin Care, $29.9 in Feminine Care, and $68.8 in All Other) at September 30, 2019.

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized but are instead reviewed annually for impairment of value or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company’s annual impairment testing date is July 1. The Company continuously monitors events which could trigger an interim impairment analysis, such as changing business conditions and environmental factors. An interim impairment analysis may indicate that carrying amounts of goodwill and other intangible assets require adjustment or that remaining useful lives should be revised. Refer to the sensitivity analysis in Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2019.

During fiscal 2019, the Company recorded impairment charges of $369.0, $2.0 and $37.0 on the goodwill of the Wet Shave, Skin Care, and Infant Care reporting units, respectively. The fair value of these reporting units was close to the carrying value at September 30, 2019 such that a significant decline in operations of the reporting unit could potentially result in additional impairment. Additionally, the Company recorded impairment charges of $87.0 and $75.0 during fiscal 2019 on the Wet Ones and Diaper Genie indefinite lived trade names, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Facility

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]

Accounts receivable facility

Accounts Receivable Facility

On September 15, 2017, the Company entered into a $150 uncommitted master accounts receivable purchase agreement with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., New York Branch, as the purchaser (the “Accounts Receivable Facility”). Transfers under this Agreement are accounted for as sales of receivables, resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The purchaser assumes the credit risk at the time of sale and has the right at any time to assign, transfer, or participate any of its rights under the purchased receivables to another bank or financial institution. The purchase and sale of receivables under the agreement is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer without recourse by the purchaser to the Company for the creditworthiness of any obligor. The Company continues to have collection and servicing responsibilities for the receivables sold and receives separate compensation for their servicing. The compensation received is considered acceptable servicing compensation and, as such, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2019, the discount rate used to determine the purchase price for the subject receivables is based upon LIBOR plus a margin applicable to the specified obligor.

Accounts receivables sold under this agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $181.7 and $213.9, respectively. The trade receivables sold that remained outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 were $67.5 and $74.9, respectively. The net proceeds received were included in cash provided by operating activities and cash provided by investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the sum of the cash received is recorded as a loss on sale of receivables in Other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. For the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the loss on sale of trade receivables was $0.5 and $0.6, respectively.

Earnings per Share

3 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of share options and restricted share equivalent (“RSE”) awards.

The following is the reconciliation between the number of weighted-average shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation: 

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2019	2018
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	54.3	54.1
Effect of dilutive securities:
RSE awards	0.1	—
Total dilutive securities	0.1	—
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	54.4	54.1

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.7 of share options and 0.1 of RSE awards because the effect of including these awards was anti-dilutive. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding excludes 0.6 of share options and 0.2 of RSE awards because the effect of including these awards was anti-dilutive.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

In the course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (also referred to as derivatives), to reduce its exposure to foreign currency. The Company has master netting agreements with all of its counterparties that allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default. The Company manages counterparty risk through the utilization of investment grade commercial banks, diversification of counterparties, and its counterparty netting arrangements. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments.

Foreign Currency Risk

A significant share of the Company’s sales is tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have a negative impact on reported earnings. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Australian dollar.

Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other (income) expense, net. The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.

Cash Flow Hedges

At December 31, 2019, the Company maintained a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective by the Company for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk.

The Company entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge cash flow uncertainty associated with currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $0.1 and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $1.7 at December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively, on these forward currency contracts, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, and are included in AOCI. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at December 31, 2019 levels over the next 12 months, most of the pre-tax gain included in AOCI at December 31, 2019 is expected to be included in Other (income) expense, net. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2020. At December 31, 2019, there were 61 open foreign currency contracts with a total notional value of $125.0.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedges

The Company entered into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures and thus are not subject to significant market risk. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the three months ended December 31, 2019 resulted in a gain of $0.3, compared to a loss of $1.3 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and was recorded in Other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. At December 31, 2019, there were five open foreign currency derivative contracts not designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $39.0.

The following table provides estimated fair values of derivative instruments:

	Fair Value of Asset (Liability) (1)
	December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedging relationships:
Foreign currency contracts	$	(0.1)	$	1.7
Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedging relationships:
Foreign currency contracts	$	0.2	$	0.4

(1)All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets.

(2)All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis during the period, all of which are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:

	December 31, 2019		September 30, 2019
Liabilities at estimated fair value:
Deferred compensation	$	(40.1)	$	(40.6)
Derivatives - foreign currency contracts	0.1		2.1
Net liabilities at estimated fair value	$	(40.0)	$	(38.5)

At December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first the quoted market prices of comparable agreements or, in the absence of quoted market prices, factors such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the investment options that are offered under the plan.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the Company had no Level 1 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets.

At December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,095.6 and $1,071.2, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,100.0. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt was estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of long-term debt, excluding revolving credit facilities, have been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. Additionally, the carrying amounts of the Company’s revolving credit facilities, which are classified as long-term debt on the balance sheet, approximate fair value due to the revolving nature of the balances. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, and the revolving credit agreements have been determined based on Level 2 inputs.
