Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidated entities policy The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Fiscal period The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday of November in each year, although the fiscal years of certain foreign subsidiaries end on November 30. Each quarter of both fiscal years 2023 and 2022 consists of 13 weeks. All references to years and quarters relate to fiscal years and quarters rather than calendar years and quarters.
Use of Estimates Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods.
Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses based on an analysis of the aging of accounts receivable, assessment of collectability, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, customer-specific circumstances and an evaluation of current economic conditions.
Long-Lived Assets and Cloud Computing Arrangements Long-Lived AssetsThe Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. Impairment losses are measured and recorded for the excess of carrying value over its fair value, estimated based on expected future cash flows and other quantitative and qualitative factors.
Shares Repurchases
Share Repurchases
During the six months ended May 28, 2023, the Company repurchased 0.5 million shares for $8.1 million, plus broker's commissions, in the open market during the first quarter. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $17.97 per share. During the second quarter of 2023, there were no shares repurchased. During the three and six months ended May 29, 2022, the Company repurchased 2.0 million and 5.0 million shares for $40.0 million and $111.5 million, plus broker's commissions, respectively, in the open market. This equates to an average repurchase price of approximately $22.00 per share for the six months ended May 29, 2022.
The Company accounts for share repurchases by charging the excess of repurchase price over the repurchased Class A common stock's par value entirely to retained earnings. All repurchased shares are retired and become authorized but unissued shares. The Company accrues for the shares purchased under the share repurchase plan based on the trade date. The Company may terminate or limit the share repurchase program at any time.
New accounting pronouncements
Partial Pension Settlement
On May 30, 2023, subsequent to quarter end, the Company used pension plan assets to purchase nonparticipating annuity contracts in order to transfer certain liabilities associated with its U.S. pension plan to an insurance company. As a result, a noncash pension settlement charge of approximately $19 million will be recognized within Other (expense) income, net in the Company's consolidated statement of operations and approximately $21 million of unrealized losses will be reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" ("AOCL") on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
Reclassification
Certain amounts on the consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flow have been conformed to the May 28, 2023 presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There have been no developments to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, from those disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K
