Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has joint ventures that are consolidated in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, allowance for credit losses; excess and obsolete inventory; share-based compensation; acquisitions; product warranty obligations; pension and post-retirement assets and liabilities; derivative fair values; goodwill and other asset impairments; health care reserves; rebates and incentives; litigation claims and contingencies, including environmental matters; and income taxes. The Company accounts for changes to estimates and assumptions when warranted by factually based experience.
Acquisitions	Acquisitions The Company recognizes assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. The operating results of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, restructuring costs are recognized as post-acquisition expense and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded in Provision for Income Taxes.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product passes to the customer or the service is provided and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services. For a limited number of contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time in proportion to costs incurred. The pricing of products sold is generally supported by customer purchase orders, and accounts receivable collection is reasonably assured. Estimated discounts and rebates are recorded as a reduction of gross sales in the same period revenue is recognized. Product returns and credits are estimated and recorded at the time of shipment based upon historical experience. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenue when billed to the customers. The costs incurred from shipping are recorded in Cost of Sales and handling costs incurred in connection with selling and distribution activities are recorded in Operating Expenses. The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from several original equipment manufacturing customers. Despite this relative concentration, there were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019. Nature of Goods and Services The Company sells products with multiple applications as well as customized products that have a single application such as those manufactured for its OEM customers. The Company reports in four operating segments: Commercial Systems, Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and Motion Control Solutions. See Note 6 for a description of the different segments. Nature of Performance Obligations The Company’s contracts with customers typically consist of purchase orders, invoices and master supply agreements. At contract inception, across all four segments, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its sales arrangements with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. The Company’s primary performance obligations consist of product sales and customized systems/solutions. Product: The nature of products varies from segment to segment but across all segments, individual products are generally not integrated and represent separate performance obligations. Customized systems/solutions: The Company provides customized systems/solutions which consist of multiple products engineered and designed to specific customer specification, combined or integrated into one combined solution for a specific customer application. The goods are transferred to the customer and revenue is typically recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. When Performance Obligations are Satisfied For performance obligations related to substantially all of the Company's product sales, the Company determines that the customer obtains control upon shipment and recognizes revenue accordingly. Once a product has shipped, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. For a limited number of contracts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue over time. The Company satisfies its performance obligations over time and the Company uses a cost-based input method to measure progress. In applying the cost-based method of revenue recognition, the Company uses actual costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated costs for the contract in conjunction with the customer's commitment to perform in determining the amount of revenue and cost to recognize. The Company has determined that the cost-based input method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods to the customer. Payment Terms The arrangement with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product or service purchased. Payment terms vary by customer but typically range from due upon delivery to 120 days after delivery. For contracts recognized at a point in time, revenue and billing typically occur simultaneously. The Company generally has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. For contracts recognized using the cost-based input method, revenue recognized in excess of customer billings and billings in excess of revenue recognized are reviewed to determine the net asset or net liability position and classified as such on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Returns, Refunds and Warranties The Company’s contracts do not explicitly offer a “general” right of return to its customers (e.g. customers ordered excess products and return unused items). Warranties are classified as either assurance type or service type warranties. A warranty is considered an assurance type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended. A warranty that goes above and beyond ensuring basic functionality is considered a service type warranty. The Company generally only offers limited warranties which are considered to be assurance type warranties and are not accounted for as separate performance obligations. Customers generally receive repair or replacement on products that do not function to specification. Estimated product warranties are provided for specific product groups and the Company accrues for estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recognized. The Company estimates the accrual requirements based on historical warranty loss experience and the cost is included in Cost of Sales. Volume Rebates In some cases, the nature of the Company’s contract may give rise to variable consideration including volume based sales incentives. If the customer achieves specific sales targets, it is entitled to rebates. The Company estimates the projected amount of the rebates that will be achieved and recognizes the estimated costs as a reduction to Net Sales as revenue is recognized. Practical Expedients and Exemptions The Company typically expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, primarily sales commissions, as incurred because the amortization period is expected to be 12 months or less. Contract costs are included in Operating Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Due to the short nature of the Company’s contracts, the Company has adopted a practical expedient to not disclose revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations as substantially all of its contracts have original terms of 12 months or less. The Company typically does not include in its transaction price any amounts collected from customers for sales taxes. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities and expense the costs as incurred as part of Cost of Sales.
Research, Development and Engineering	Research, Development and Engineering The Company performs research, development and engineering activities relating to new product development and the improvement of current products. The Company's research, development and engineering expenses consist primarily of costs for: (i) salaries and related personnel expenses; (ii) the design and development of new energy efficient products and enhancements; (iii) quality assurance and testing; and (iv) other related overhead. The Company's research, development and engineering efforts tend to be targeted toward developing new products that would allow it to gain additional market share, whether in new or existing segments. Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash, present insignificant risk of changes in value due to interest rate fluctuations and have original or purchased maturities of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents. The Company has material deposits with global financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of its financial institutions and monitors the amount of exposure. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The Company monitors credit risk associated with its trade receivables.
Trade Receivables	Trade ReceivablesThe Company's policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables considers several factors including historical write-off experience, overall customer credit quality in relation to general economic and market conditions, and specific customer account analyses to estimate expected credit losses. The specific customer account analysis considers such items as, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Trade receivables are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Operating Expenses.
Inventories	Inventories The Company changed its method of calculating last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventories, which represented approximately 48.5% of the Company’s inventory as of January 2, 2021. The Company increased the number of LIFO inventory pools to four to align with the Company’s operating and reporting segments. Previously, the Company had three LIFO inventory pools, which aligned with the Company's operating and reporting segments prior to the fiscal year 2020. The Company believes this change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances because it combines inventory items with similarities within a segment and better aligns revenue with expenses based on the four segment structure as well as how management manages and assesses the performance of the businesses. The Company determined that it had the data needed to apply this change in accounting principle as of the beginning of its fiscal year 2019, but it was impracticable to apply the change in periods prior to then. The change in accounting principle has been reflected in fiscal years 2019 and 2020. The change did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019. See Note 6 for details. Inventories are stated at cost, which is not in excess of market. Cost for approximately 48.5% of the Company's inventory as of January 1, 2022 and 50.0% as of January 2, 2021 was determined using the last-in, first-out method. If all inventories were valued on the first-in, first-out method, they would have increased by $85.8 million and $60.0 million as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. Material, labor and factory overhead costs are included in the inventories. The Company reviews inventories for excess and obsolete products or components. Based on an analysis of historical usage and management's evaluation of estimated future demand, market conditions and alternative uses for possible excess or obsolete parts, the Company records an excess and obsolete reserve.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (3 to 50 years) of the depreciable assets. Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing equipment are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Goodwill And Intangible Assets	Goodwill The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating results, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative industry or economic trends. For goodwill, the Company may perform a qualitative test to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performed quantitative impairment testing for all reporting units in fiscal 2021. The Company performs the required annual goodwill impairment testing as of the end of the October fiscal month. The Company uses a weighting of the market approach and the income approach (discounted cash flow method) in testing goodwill for impairment. In the market approach, the Company applies performance multiples from comparable public companies, adjusted for relative risk, profitability, and growth considerations, to the reporting units to estimate fair value. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method used to estimate fair value include discount rates, revenue and EBITDA margin projections and terminal value rates because such assumptions are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined by using market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant discount rate and long-term growth rates. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $33.0 million in its global industrial motors reporting unit. The global industrial motors reporting unit had goodwill of $80.1 million as of January 1, 2022 and is included in the Company's Industrial Systems segment. Some of the key considerations used in the Company's impairment testing included (i) market pricing of guideline publicly traded companies (ii) cost of capital, including the risk-free interest rate, and (iii) recent historical and projected operating results of the subject reporting unit. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in goodwill impairment testing. A change to any of the assumptions could lead to a future impairment that could be material. Intangible Assets Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The Company evaluates amortizing intangibles whenever events or circumstances have occurred that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable. If an indicator is present, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset to estimate recoverability of the asset group. If such estimated future cash flows are less than carrying value, an impairment would be recognized. There was no impairment of intangible assets during fiscal 2021 or 2020. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The Company performs the required annual impairment testing as of the end of the October fiscal month. The indefinite-lived intangible asset consisted of a trade name associated with the acquisition of the Power Transmission Solutions business from Emerson Electric Co. It was evaluated for impairment in October 2021. The Company determined the fair value of this asset using a royalty relief methodology similar to the methodology used when the associated asset was acquired, but used updated assumptions and estimates of future sales and profitability. For fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeded its respective carrying value. Some of the key considerations used in the Company's impairment testing included (i) cost of capital, including the risk-free interest rate, (ii) royalty rate and (iii) recent historical and projected operating performance. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in indefinite-lived intangible asset testing. During the fourth quarter of 2021, following the Rexnord Transaction (as defined in Note 4), which included the acquisition of additional trade names that may have an impact on the Company's long-term branding strategy, the Company determined that the indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the Power Transmission Solutions trade name had a finite life and began amortizing it over a remaining estimated useful life using the straight line method. Following this change, this asset will be evaluated for impairment under guidance applicable to long-lived assets.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived AssetsThe Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment assets (collectively, "long-lived assets") whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable through future cash flows. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative economic trends. For long-lived assets, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset to estimate recoverability of the asset group. If the asset is not recoverable, the asset is written down to fair value. In fiscal 2021, the Company concluded it had asset impairments related to the transfer of assets to held for sale of $5.6 million. The Company concluded it had an impairment of $5.3 million in long-lived assets in fiscal 2020 due to the transfer of assets to held for sale.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon earnings applicable to common shares divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities. Share based compensation awards for common shares where the exercise price was above the market price have been excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities shown below;
Retirement and Post Retirement Plans	Retirement and Post-Retirement Plans The Company's domestic associates are covered by defined contribution plans and approximately half of the Company's domestic associates are covered by defined benefit pension plans. The majority of the defined benefit pension plans covering the Company's domestic associates have been closed to new associates and frozen for existing associates. Certain associates are covered by a post-retirement health care plan. Most of the Company's foreign associates are covered by government sponsored plans in the countries in which they are employed. The Company's obligations under its defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans are determined with the assistance of actuarial firms. The actuaries, under management's direction, make certain assumptions regarding such factors as withdrawal rates and mortality rates. The actuaries also provide information and recommendations from which management makes further assumptions on such factors as the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets, the discount rate on benefit obligations and where applicable, the rate of annual compensation increases and health care cost trend rates. Based upon the assumptions made, the investments made by the plans, overall conditions and movement in financial markets, life-spans of benefit recipients and other factors, annual expenses and recorded assets or liabilities of these defined benefit plans may change significantly from year to year. The service cost component of the Company's net periodic benefit cost is included in Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses. All other components of net periodic benefit costs are included in Other (Income) Expenses, net on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Any fair value changes are recorded in Net Income or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCI") as determined under accounting guidance that establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of the hedging relationships. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in certain raw material commodity pricing, fluctuations in the cost of forecasted foreign currency transactions, and variability in interest rate exposure on floating rate borrowings. The majority of derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges (see also Note 13).
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and consideration of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income taxes are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This requires management to make judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income, and the impact of tax planning strategies. Uncertainty exists regarding tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns which remain subject to examination, along with positions expected to be taken in future returns. The Company provides for unrecognized tax benefits, based on the technical merits, when it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will not be sustained upon examination. Adjustments are made to the uncertain tax positions when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit; changes in applicable tax laws, including tax case rulings and legislative guidance; or expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency TranslationFor those operations using a functional currency other than the US dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity.
Product Warranty Reserves	Product Warranty Reserves The Company maintains reserves for product warranty to cover the stated warranty periods for its products. Such reserves are established based on an evaluation of historical warranty experience and specific significant warranty matters when they become known and can reasonably be estimated.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	Accumulated Other Comprehensive LossForeign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as hedges and pension and post retirement liability adjustments are included in Shareholders' Equity under AOCI.
Legal Claims and Contingent Liabilities	Legal Claims and Contingent Liabilities The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and regulatory matters, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty and will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management conducts regular reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Company records expenses and liabilities when the Company believes that an obligation of the Company or a subsidiary on a specific matter is probable and there is a basis to reasonably estimate the value of the obligation, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. This methodology is used for legal claims that are filed against the Company or a subsidiary from time to time. The uncertainty that is associated with such matters frequently requires adjustments to the liabilities previously recorded.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments	Fair Values of Financial Instruments The fair values of cash equivalents, term deposits, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The fair value of debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit ratings as further described in Note 7. The fair value of pension assets and derivative instruments is determined based on the methods disclosed in Notes 8 and 13.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Standards In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. This ASU becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance. Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted the standard as of January 3, 2021 the beginning of fiscal 2021, with no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326). The focus of this ASU is to require businesses to adjust their allowance for lifetime expected credit losses rather than incurred losses. It is believed that the change will result in more timely recognition of such losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The Company adopted the standard as of December 29, 2019, the beginning of fiscal 2020, under the modified retrospective approach. The Company recorded a $3.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses and a $2.7 million net decrease to retained earnings as of December 29, 2019 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities arising from an operating lease on its Balance Sheet. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments, the lease liability, and a ROU asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. In July 2018, the FASB amended its guidance by issuing ASU 2018-11 to provide an additional transition method, allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings during the period of adoption. The Company adopted the standard as of December 30, 2018, the beginning of fiscal 2019, under the modified retrospective method. Comparative periods prior to the adoption of the standard have not been adjusted to give the effect to the standard. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the relief package within the new standard, which allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease accounting of expired or existing leases with respect to lease identification, lease classification and accounting treatment for initial direct costs as of the adoption date. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to lease versus non-lease components, allowing the Company to recognize lease and nonlease components as a single lease. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $93.0 million as of December 30, 2018. No cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings was recognized upon adoption of the new standard. The standard did not materially impact the Company's Consolidated Net Income and had no impact on Cash Flows. See Note 9 for additional disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU focuses on updates around disclosures of Level 3 fair value measurements and it presents modifications to current disclosure requirements. The additional requirements under this ASU include disclosure for the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income ("OCI") held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs. The ASU is also eliminating the disclosure requirement for the amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement, valuation processes for Level 3 measurements, and policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for investments that are valued based on net asset value. The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The ASU requires prospective application for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the year of adoption for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in OCI, the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The Company adopted the standard as of December 29, 2019, the beginning of fiscal 2020, with no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20). The ASU addresses modifications to the disclosure requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. Under ASU 2018-14 the disclosure requirements that can be removed are amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and benefit obligations for postretirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures are required for the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation for significant gains and losses related to the changes in the benefit obligation for the period. If a defined benefit pension plan has a projected benefit obligation greater than plan assets the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets should be disclosed. The Company adopted the standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 on a retrospective basis for all years presented with no material impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statement. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional transition guidance, for a limited time, to companies that have contracts, hedging relationships or other transactions that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate which is expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company adopted this standard prospectively and is applying those expedients that allow the Company to continue to assert that LIBOR-based interest remains probable, despite the sunset of LIBOR at the end of 2021 with no impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Policies (Policy)

Jan. 01, 2022

Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. In addition, the Company has joint ventures that are consolidated in accordance with consolidation accounting guidance. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”), which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company uses estimates in accounting for, among other items, allowance for credit losses; excess and obsolete inventory; share-based compensation; acquisitions; product warranty obligations; pension and post-retirement assets and liabilities; derivative fair values; goodwill and other asset impairments; health care reserves; rebates and incentives; litigation claims and contingencies, including environmental matters; and income taxes. The Company accounts for changes to estimates and assumptions when warranted by factually based experience.

Acquisitions

The Company recognizes assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. The operating results of the acquired companies are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, restructuring costs are recognized as post-acquisition expense and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded in Provision for Income Taxes.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of electric motors, electrical motion controls, power generation and power transmission products. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the product passes to the customer or the service is provided and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services.

For a limited number of contracts, the Company recognizes revenue over time in proportion to costs incurred. The pricing of products sold is generally supported by customer purchase orders, and accounts receivable collection is reasonably assured. Estimated discounts and rebates are recorded as a reduction of gross sales in the same period revenue is recognized. Product returns and credits are estimated and recorded at the time of shipment based upon historical experience. Shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenue when billed to the customers. The costs incurred from shipping are recorded in Cost of Sales and handling costs incurred in connection with selling and distribution activities are recorded in Operating Expenses.

The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from several original equipment manufacturing customers. Despite this relative concentration, there were no customers that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020 or fiscal 2019.

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company sells products with multiple applications as well as customized products that have a single application such as those manufactured for its OEM customers. The Company reports in four operating segments: Commercial Systems, Industrial Systems, Climate Solutions and Motion Control Solutions. See Note 6 for a description of the different segments.

Nature of Performance Obligations

The Company’s contracts with customers typically consist of purchase orders, invoices and master supply agreements. At contract inception, across all four segments, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in its sales arrangements with customers and identifies a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service that is distinct. The Company’s primary performance obligations consist of product sales and customized systems/solutions.

Product:

The nature of products varies from segment to segment but across all segments, individual products are generally not integrated and represent separate performance obligations.

Customized systems/solutions:

The Company provides customized systems/solutions which consist of multiple products engineered and designed to specific customer specification, combined or integrated into one combined solution for a specific customer application. The goods are transferred to the customer and revenue is typically recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied.

When Performance Obligations are Satisfied

For performance obligations related to substantially all of the Company's product sales, the Company determines that the customer obtains control upon shipment and recognizes revenue accordingly. Once a product has shipped, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

For a limited number of contracts, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue over time. The Company satisfies its performance obligations over time and the Company uses a cost-based input method to measure progress. In applying the cost-based method of revenue recognition, the Company uses actual costs incurred to date relative to the total estimated costs for the contract in conjunction with the customer's commitment to perform in determining the amount of revenue and cost to recognize. The Company has determined that the cost-based input method provides a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods to the customer.

The arrangement with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product or service purchased. Payment terms vary by customer but typically range from due upon delivery to 120 days after delivery. For contracts recognized at a point in time, revenue and billing typically occur simultaneously. The Company generally has payment terms with its customers of one year or less and has elected the practical expedient applicable to such contracts not to consider the time value of money. For contracts recognized using the cost-based input method, revenue recognized in excess of customer billings and billings in excess of revenue recognized are reviewed to determine the net asset or net liability position and classified as such on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Returns, Refunds and Warranties

The Company’s contracts do not explicitly offer a “general” right of return to its customers (e.g. customers ordered excess products and return unused items). Warranties are classified as either assurance type or service type warranties. A warranty is considered an assurance type warranty if it provides the customer with assurance that the product will function as intended. A warranty that goes above and beyond ensuring basic functionality is considered a service type warranty. The Company generally only offers limited warranties which are considered to be assurance type warranties and are not accounted for as separate performance obligations. Customers generally receive repair or replacement on products that do not function to specification. Estimated product warranties are provided for specific product groups and the Company accrues for estimated future warranty cost in the period in which the sale is recognized. The Company estimates the accrual requirements based on historical warranty loss experience and the cost is included in Cost of Sales.

Volume Rebates

In some cases, the nature of the Company’s contract may give rise to variable consideration including volume based sales incentives. If the customer achieves specific sales targets, it is entitled to rebates. The Company estimates the projected amount of the rebates that will be achieved and recognizes the estimated costs as a reduction to Net Sales as revenue is recognized.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company typically expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, primarily sales commissions, as incurred because the amortization period is expected to be 12 months or less. Contract costs are included in Operating Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Due to the short nature of the Company’s contracts, the Company has adopted a practical expedient to not disclose revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations as substantially all of its contracts have original terms of 12 months or less.

The Company typically does not include in its transaction price any amounts collected from customers for sales taxes.

The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities and expense the costs as incurred as part of Cost of Sales.

Research, Development and Engineering

The Company performs research, development and engineering activities relating to new product development and the improvement of current products. The Company's research, development and engineering expenses consist primarily of costs for: (i) salaries and related personnel expenses; (ii) the design and development of new energy efficient products and enhancements; (iii) quality assurance and testing; and (iv) other related overhead. The Company's research, development and engineering efforts tend to be targeted toward developing new products that would allow it to gain additional market share, whether in new or existing segments.

Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred.

Cash And Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash, present insignificant risk of changes in value due to interest rate fluctuations and have original or purchased maturities of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents. The Company has material deposits with global financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of its financial institutions and monitors the amount of exposure.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The Company monitors credit risk associated with its trade receivables.

Trade Receivables

Trade ReceivablesThe Company's policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables considers several factors including historical write-off experience, overall customer credit quality in relation to general economic and market conditions, and specific customer account analyses to estimate expected credit losses. The specific customer account analysis considers such items as, credit worthiness, payment history, and historical bad debt experience. Trade receivables are written off after exhaustive collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in Operating Expenses.

Inventories

The Company changed its method of calculating last-in, first-out ("LIFO") inventories, which represented approximately 48.5% of the Company’s inventory as of January 2, 2021. The Company increased the number of LIFO inventory pools to four to align with the Company’s operating and reporting segments. Previously, the Company had three LIFO inventory pools, which aligned with the Company's operating and reporting segments prior to the fiscal year 2020. The Company believes this change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstances because it combines inventory items with similarities within a segment and better aligns revenue with expenses based on the four segment structure as well as how management manages and assesses the performance of the businesses. The Company determined that it had the data needed to apply this change in accounting principle as of the beginning of its fiscal year 2019, but it was impracticable to apply the change in periods prior to then. The change in accounting principle has been reflected in fiscal years 2019 and 2020. The change did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019. See Note 6 for details.

Inventories are stated at cost, which is not in excess of market. Cost for approximately 48.5% of the Company's inventory as of January 1, 2022 and 50.0% as of January 2, 2021 was determined using the last-in, first-out method. If all inventories were valued on the first-in, first-out method, they would have increased by $85.8 million and $60.0 million as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. Material, labor and factory overhead costs are included in the inventories.

The Company reviews inventories for excess and obsolete products or components. Based on an analysis of historical usage and management's evaluation of estimated future demand, market conditions and alternative uses for possible excess or obsolete parts, the Company records an excess and obsolete reserve.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (3 to 50 years) of the depreciable assets. Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing equipment are capitalized and depreciated.

Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating results, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative industry or economic trends. For goodwill, the Company may perform a qualitative test to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company performed quantitative impairment testing for all reporting units in fiscal 2021. The Company performs the required annual goodwill impairment testing as of the end of the October fiscal month.

The Company uses a weighting of the market approach and the income approach (discounted cash flow method) in testing goodwill for impairment. In the market approach, the Company applies performance multiples from comparable public companies, adjusted for relative risk, profitability, and growth considerations, to the reporting units to estimate fair value. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method used to estimate fair value include discount rates, revenue and EBITDA margin projections and terminal value rates because such assumptions are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined by using market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. Terminal value rate determination follows common methodology of capturing the present value of perpetual cash flow estimates beyond the last projected period assuming a constant discount rate and long-term growth rates.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $33.0 million in its global industrial motors reporting unit. The global industrial motors reporting unit had goodwill of $80.1 million as of January 1, 2022 and is included in the Company's Industrial Systems segment. Some of the key considerations used in the Company's impairment testing included (i) market pricing of guideline publicly traded companies (ii) cost of capital, including the risk-free interest rate, and (iii) recent historical and projected operating results of the subject reporting unit. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in goodwill impairment testing. A change to any of the assumptions could lead to a future impairment that could be material.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method. The Company evaluates amortizing intangibles whenever events or circumstances have occurred that indicate carrying values may not be recoverable. If an indicator is present, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset to estimate recoverability of the asset group. If such estimated future cash flows are less than carrying value, an impairment would be recognized. There was no impairment of intangible assets during fiscal 2021 or 2020.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. The Company evaluates the carrying amount of indefinite-lived intangible assets annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The Company performs the required annual impairment testing as of the end of the October fiscal month.

The indefinite-lived intangible asset consisted of a trade name associated with the acquisition of the Power Transmission Solutions business from Emerson Electric Co. It was evaluated for impairment in October 2021. The Company determined the fair value of this asset using a royalty relief methodology similar to the methodology used when the associated asset was acquired, but used updated assumptions and estimates of future sales and profitability. For fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeded its respective carrying value. Some of the key considerations used in the Company's impairment testing included (i) cost of capital, including the risk-free interest rate, (ii) royalty rate and (iii) recent historical and projected operating performance. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in indefinite-lived intangible asset testing.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, following the Rexnord Transaction (as defined in Note 4), which included the acquisition of additional trade names that may have an impact on the Company's long-term branding strategy, the Company determined that the indefinite-lived intangible asset associated with the Power Transmission Solutions trade name had a finite life and began amortizing it over a remaining estimated useful life using the straight line method. Following this change, this asset will be evaluated for impairment under guidance applicable to long-lived assets.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived AssetsThe Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment assets (collectively, "long-lived assets") whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable through future cash flows. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative economic trends. For long-lived assets, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset to estimate recoverability of the asset group. If the asset is not recoverable, the asset is written down to fair value. In fiscal 2021, the Company concluded it had asset impairments related to the transfer of assets to held for sale of $5.6 million. The Company concluded it had an impairment of $5.3 million in long-lived assets in fiscal 2020 due to the transfer of assets to held for sale.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon earnings applicable to common shares divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities. Share based compensation awards for common shares where the exercise price was above the market price have been excluded from the calculation of the effect of dilutive securities shown below;

Retirement and Post Retirement Plans

Retirement and Post-Retirement Plans

The Company's domestic associates are covered by defined contribution plans and approximately half of the Company's domestic associates are covered by defined benefit pension plans. The majority of the defined benefit pension plans covering the Company's domestic associates have been closed to new associates and frozen for existing associates. Certain associates are covered by a post-retirement health care plan. Most of the Company's foreign associates are covered by government sponsored plans in the countries in which they are employed. The Company's obligations under its defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans are determined with the assistance of actuarial firms. The actuaries, under management's direction, make certain assumptions regarding such factors as withdrawal rates and mortality rates. The actuaries also provide information and recommendations from which management makes further assumptions on such factors as the long-term expected rate of return on plan assets, the discount rate on benefit obligations and where applicable, the rate of annual compensation increases and health care cost trend rates.

Based upon the assumptions made, the investments made by the plans, overall conditions and movement in financial markets, life-spans of benefit recipients and other factors, annual expenses and recorded assets or liabilities of these defined benefit plans may change significantly from year to year.

The service cost component of the Company's net periodic benefit cost is included in Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses. All other components of net periodic benefit costs are included in Other (Income) Expenses, net on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Any fair value changes are recorded in Net Income or Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCI") as determined under accounting guidance that establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of the hedging relationships.

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in certain raw material commodity pricing, fluctuations in the cost of forecasted foreign currency transactions, and variability in interest rate exposure on floating rate borrowings. The majority of derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges (see also Note 13).

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and consideration of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income

taxes are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This requires management to make judgments and estimates regarding the amount and timing of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income, and the impact of tax planning strategies.

Uncertainty exists regarding tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns which remain subject to examination, along with positions expected to be taken in future returns. The Company provides for unrecognized tax benefits, based on the technical merits, when it is more likely than not that an uncertain tax position will not be sustained upon examination. Adjustments are made to the uncertain tax positions when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit; changes in applicable tax laws, including tax case rulings and legislative guidance; or expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency TranslationFor those operations using a functional currency other than the US dollar, assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of Shareholders' Equity.

Product Warranty Reserves

The Company maintains reserves for product warranty to cover the stated warranty periods for its products. Such reserves are established based on an evaluation of historical warranty experience and specific significant warranty matters when they become known and can reasonably be estimated.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated Other Comprehensive LossForeign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as hedges and pension and post retirement liability adjustments are included in Shareholders' Equity under AOCI.

Legal Claims and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and regulatory matters, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty and will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management conducts regular reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The Company records expenses and liabilities when the Company believes that an obligation of the Company or a subsidiary on a specific matter is probable and there is a basis to reasonably estimate the value of the obligation, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. This methodology is used for legal claims that are filed against the Company or a subsidiary from time to time. The uncertainty that is associated with such matters frequently requires adjustments to the liabilities previously recorded.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash equivalents, term deposits, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The fair value of debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on rates for instruments with comparable maturities and credit ratings as further described in Note 7. The fair value of pension assets and derivative instruments is determined based on the methods disclosed in Notes 8 and 13.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The ASU improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. This

ASU becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance.

Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740, and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The Company adopted the standard as of January 3, 2021 the beginning of fiscal 2021, with no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326). The focus of this ASU is to require businesses to adjust their allowance for lifetime expected credit losses rather than incurred losses. It is believed that the change will result in more timely recognition of such losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The Company adopted the standard as of December 29, 2019, the beginning of fiscal 2020, under the modified retrospective approach. The Company recorded a $3.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses and a $2.7 million net decrease to retained earnings as of December 29, 2019 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The core principle of ASU 2016-02 is that an entity should recognize right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities arising from an operating lease on its Balance Sheet. In accordance with that principle, ASU 2016-02 requires that a lessee recognize a liability to make lease payments, the lease liability, and a ROU asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset for the lease term. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on the lease classification as a finance or operating lease. In July 2018, the FASB amended its guidance by issuing ASU 2018-11 to provide an additional transition method, allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings during the period of adoption. The Company adopted the standard as of December 30, 2018, the beginning of fiscal 2019, under the modified retrospective method. Comparative periods prior to the adoption of the standard have not been adjusted to give the effect to the standard.

The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the relief package within the new standard, which allows the Company to carryforward the historical lease accounting of expired or existing leases with respect to lease identification, lease classification and accounting treatment for initial direct costs as of the adoption date. The Company also elected the practical expedient related to lease versus non-lease components, allowing the Company to recognize lease and nonlease components as a single lease.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $93.0 million as of December 30, 2018. No cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings was recognized upon adoption of the new standard. The standard did not materially impact the Company's Consolidated Net Income and had no impact on Cash Flows. See Note 9 for additional disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU focuses on updates around disclosures of Level 3 fair value measurements and it presents modifications to current disclosure requirements. The additional requirements under this ASU include disclosure for the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income ("OCI") held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs. The ASU is also eliminating the disclosure requirement for the amount and reason for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement, valuation processes for Level 3 measurements, and policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for investments that are valued based on net asset value. The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The ASU requires prospective application for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the year of adoption for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in OCI, the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The Company adopted the standard as of December 29, 2019, the beginning of fiscal 2020, with no material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20). The ASU addresses modifications to the disclosure requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. Under ASU 2018-14 the disclosure requirements that can be removed are amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to

be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, and the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and benefit obligations for postretirement health care benefits. Additional disclosures are required for the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates and an explanation for significant gains and losses related to the changes in the benefit obligation for the period. If a defined benefit pension plan has a projected benefit obligation greater than plan assets the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets should be disclosed. The Company adopted the standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 on a retrospective basis for all years presented with no material impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statement.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional transition guidance, for a limited time, to companies that have contracts, hedging relationships or other transactions that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate which is expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company adopted this standard prospectively and is applying those expedients that allow the Company to continue to assert that LIBOR-based interest remains probable, despite the sunset of LIBOR at the end of 2021 with no impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
