SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The ODP Corporation (including its consolidated subsidiaries, “ODP” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of products, services and technology solutions through an integrated business-to-business (“B2B”) distribution platform and omnichannel presence, which includes supply chain and distribution operations, dedicated sales professionals, a B2B digital procurement solution, online presence, and a network of Office Depot and OfficeMax retail stores. Through its operating companies Office Depot, LLC; ODP Business Solutions, LLC; Veyer, LLC; and Varis, LLC, The ODP Corporation empowers every business, professional, and consumer to achieve more every day.

Prior to the third quarter of 2022, the Company had two reportable segments (or “Divisions”), which were its Business Solutions Division and Retail Division. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company re-aligned its operations into its consumer business named Office Depot, and three distinct B2B business and digital segments which are ODP Business Solutions, Veyer and Varis. As a result, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments, and determined that at September 24, 2022, the Company had four Divisions: ODP Business Solutions Division, Office Depot Division, Veyer Division, and Varis Division. Refer to Note 3 for additional information.

The Company’s CompuCom Division was sold through a single disposal group on December 31, 2021. The Company has reclassified the financial results of the CompuCom Division to Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company also reclassified the related assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities held for sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 25, 2021, and presented cash flows from the Company’s discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods. Refer to Note 11 for additional information.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 24, 2022, and for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended September 24, 2022 (also referred to as the “third quarter of 2022” and “year-to-date 2022,” respectively) and September 25, 2021 (also referred to as the “third quarter of 2021” and “year-to-date 2021,” respectively) are unaudited. However, in management’s opinion, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Business acquisitions in 2021 are included prospectively from the date of acquisition, thus affecting the comparability of the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented in this report on Form 10-Q.

The Company has prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Some information and note disclosures, which would normally be included in comprehensive annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those SEC rules and regulations. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. For a better understanding of the Company and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company recommends reading these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements, which are included in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for the full year.

MAINTAINING ALL OPERATING BUSINESSES UNDER COMMON OWNERSHIP

In May 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue a separation of the Company into two independent, publicly traded companies representing its B2B and consumer businesses, which was planned to be achieved through a spin-off of its consumer business. On January 14, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors determined to delay the previously announced public company separation to evaluate a potential sale of the Company’s consumer business and that it had received a non-binding proposal from another third party, in addition to the previously received proposal from USR Parent, Inc., to acquire the Company’s consumer business.

On June 21, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, completed its review of both proposals received by the Company to acquire its consumer business and unanimously determined it to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders not to divest the consumer business at that time. Further, due to current market conditions, the Company’s Board of Directors also determined not to resume the Company’s previously planned spin-off of its consumer business at that time and instead maintain all of its businesses under common ownership.

As discussed above, in connection with the Company’s announcement to maintain all of its businesses under common ownership, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company re-aligned its operations into its consumer business named Office Depot, and three distinct B2B business and digital segments which are ODP Business Solutions, Veyer and Varis.

CASH MANAGEMENT

The cash management process generally utilizes zero balance accounts which provide for the settlement of the related disbursement and cash concentration accounts on a daily basis. Amounts not yet presented for payment to zero balance disbursement accounts of $5 million at September 24, 2022 are presented in Trade accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $1 million at December 25, 2021 are presented in Current liabilities held for sale.

At September 24, 2022 and December 25, 2021, cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States amounted to $103 million and $108 million, respectively. At December 25, 2021, there was $17 million cash and cash equivalents held outside the United States included in Current assets held for sale.

Restricted cash consists primarily of cash in bank committed to fund UK pension obligations based on the agreements that govern the UK pension plan. Restricted cash is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash was $1 million at September 24, 2022. There was no restricted cash at December 25, 2021.

REVENUE AND CONTRACT BALANCES

The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from contracts with customers for the sale of products and services. Refer to Note 3 for information on revenue by reportable segment and product category. Contract balances primarily consist of receivables, assets related to deferred contract acquisition costs, liabilities related to payments received in advance of performance under the contract, and liabilities related to unredeemed gift cards and loyalty programs. The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:
