NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in millions, unaudited)
NOTE 1– BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Fiscal Period-End
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles for interim financial information generally accepted in the United States and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on September 30 and the Company reports its results using fiscal quarters whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length and ends on a Sunday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on October 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on September 30. As a result, the fiscal period end date for the three and six month periods included within this Quarterly Report for the Company are March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative reportable segment disclosure requirements, including enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and increased interim disclosure requirements, among others. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied retrospectively. This ASU will be effective for our Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 2025 and our Form 10-Q for the first quarter of the year ending September 30, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which provides qualitative and quantitative updates to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures, among others, in order to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation by jurisdiction of income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which provides updates to qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements over the disaggregation of relevant expense captions within the income statement to provide more transparency and useful information on expenses including tabular presentation of prescribed expense categories such as the purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and inclusion of other specific expense, gains and losses required by existing GAAP with reconciliation of disaggregation to the face of the income statement. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively, however, retrospective application is also permitted. This ASU will be effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
During the six month period ended March 30, 2025, the Company entered into initiatives within its HPC and GPC segments following the consolidation of functions and operations within the segments and changes in their commercial strategies for certain international markets, in addition to the restructuring of shared operations and enabling functions as the Company exits transition service agreements from previous divestitures, resulting in the realization of headcount reductions and related termination charges. Total cumulative exit and disposal costs associated with these initiatives were $ 4.0 million, with approximately $ 6 million of additional costs forecasted in the foreseeable future.
The following summarizes restructuring charges for the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024:

3.375 % Exchangeable Notes due June 1, 2029
Effective February 2025, the Company increased its quarterly dividend rate to $ 0.47 per share. As such, the exchange rate for the Company's 3.375 % Exchangeable Notes due June 1, 2029 was adjusted to 8.2158 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 121.72 per share of the Company's common stock), subject to further adjustment as set forth in the indenture. Concurrently, the strike price with the associated Capped Calls was updated to approximately $ 121.72 per share, subject to certain additional adjustments, corresponding to the change in exchange price of the Exchangeable Notes, and the cap price was updated to approximately $ 159.17 per share, subject to certain additional adjustments.
NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVES
Derivative financial instruments are principally used in the management of foreign currency risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges. The Company periodically enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the cash flow risk from the forecasted purchase and sale of inventory denominated in foreign currencies, and designated as a cash flow hedge. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen, Mexican Pesos, Pound Sterling, or U.S. Dollars. The fair value of the related hedge is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI") and as a derivative asset or liability, as applicable, until the purchase or sale is recognized, or otherwise determined to be ineffective or discontinued, at which point the fair value of the related hedge is reclassified to earnings.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedge. The Company periodically enters into forward contracts to economically hedge a portion of risk from intercompany balances denominated in foreign currencies. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for, among others, Canadian Dollars, Colombian Peso, Euros, Czech Koruna, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, Polish Zloty, Pound Sterling, Singapore Dollar, Swiss Franc, Turkish Lira, or U.S. Dollars. These foreign exchange contracts are fair value hedges of related intercompany balances with the gain or loss on the derivative instruments recorded in earnings offsetting the change in value of the related intercompany balance.
The following summarizes outstanding notional balances and maturities of derivative instruments as of March 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVES (continued)
There was no gain or loss realized from cash flow hedges due to the ineffectiveness or discontinuation of the cash flow hedge because it was not considered probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur. See Note 12 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for unrealized gains and losses initially recognized as other comprehensive income and the accumulated unrealized gain (loss) associated with cash flow hedges recognized in AOCI. As of March 30, 2025, the net loss estimated to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings associated with cash flow hedges over the next 12 months is $ 2.6 million, net of tax.
NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has not changed the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of any financial assets and liabilities during the year. The carrying value and estimated fair value of financial instruments as of March 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 according to the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
March 30, 2025 September 30, 2024
(in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Carrying Amount
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Carrying Amount
Derivative Assets $ — $ 3.5 $ — $ 3.5 $ 3.5 $ — $ 1.8 $ — $ 1.8 $ 1.8
Derivative Liabilities — 5.7 — 5.7 5.7 — 15.3 — 15.3 15.3
Debt — 621.2 — 621.2 641.5 — 576.3 — 576.3 560.8
The fair value measurements of the Company’s debt represent non-active market exchanged traded securities which are valued at quoted input prices that are directly observable or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data (Level 2). The Company's derivative instruments are valued on a recurring basis using internal models, which are based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot prices for currencies, which are generally based on quoted or observed market prices (Level 2). See Note 7 – Debt for additional detail on outstanding debt. See Note 8 – Derivatives for additional detail on derivative assets and liabilities.
The carrying values of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or more frequently if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred, using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3). See Note 6 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional detail.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and short term debt approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, was as follows:
Three Month Periods Ended Six Month Periods Ended
March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024
Effective tax rate 83.9 % 33.8 % 44.8 % 36.0 %
The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2025, differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% principally due to income earned outside the U.S. that is subject to U.S. tax, including the U.S. tax on global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), net of applicable deductions, and certain nondeductible expenses. The Company is not projecting U.S. taxable income for Fiscal 2025, which does not allow it to take advantage of the foreign-derived intangible income deduction or foreign tax credits on its GILTI income. The Company’s federal effective tax rate on GILTI was therefore 21%. During the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2025, the Company recorded $ 2.6 million and $ 4.6 million, respectively, of interest related to its uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company’s mix of U.S. and foreign income and the level of pretax income result in the accrued interest having a substantial impact on the three and six month period effective tax rates.
The Organization for Economic Co-operations and Development has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum corporate income tax of 15% referred to as "Pillar Two." Certain countries have adopted legislation to implement Pillar Two, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar Two. Many aspects of Pillar Two are effective for tax years beginning after January 1, 2024 with certain remaining aspects to be effective for tax years beginning January 1, 2025 or later. Pillar Two legislation currently in effect for the Company's Fiscal 2025 has been incorporated into the projected annual effective tax rate, and is not anticipated to have a significant impact. We continue to assess the impact of Pillar Two and monitor development in legislation, regulation, and interpretive guidance.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in various litigation matters generally arising out of the ordinary course of business. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe that any additional matters or proceedings presently pending will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.
Environmental Liability. The Company has realized commitments attributable to environmental remediation activities primarily associated with former manufacturing sites of the Company's HPC segment. In coordination with local and federal regulatory agencies, we have conducted testing on certain sites, which have resulted in the identification of contamination that has been attributed to historical activities at the properties, resulting in the realization of incremental costs to be assumed by the Company towards the remediation of these properties and the recognition of an environmental remediation liability. We have not conducted invasive testing at all sites and locations and have identified an environmental remediation liability to the extent such remediation requirements have been identified and are considered estimable. The following is a summary of the environment remediation liability as of March 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024:

As of March 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $ 2.3 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively, in product liability, included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Product Safety Recalls. The Company and its HPC segment had initiated voluntary product safety recalls in collaboration with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (" CPSC") for specific products and has assessed the incremental costs attributable to the recall, including the anticipated returns of retail inventory from customers, write-off of affected inventory, and other costs to facilitate the recall such as notification, shipping and handling, consumer refunds, and rework and destruction of affected products, as needed, and evaluated the probability of redemption.

Tristar Business Acquisition Litigation . On February 28, 2022, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of HPC Brands, LLC, which consist of the home appliances and cookware business of Tristar Products, Inc. (the "Tristar Business") pursuant to a Membership Interest Purchase agreement dated February 3, 2022 (the "Acquisition Agreement"). Following the purchase of the Tristar Business in February 2022, the Company and its HPC segment were detrimentally impacted by aspects of the acquired business’ operations and products, which negatively impacted subsequent operating performance and partner relationships of the acquired brands and segment. Since the acquisition, the acquired business realized, among other things, significant distribution challenges, increased levels of retail inventory, reduced sales, increased promotional spending and deductions, higher level of product returns, and overall increased amount of costs. Additionally, the segment had realized losses attributable to recalls for products associated with the acquired brands, increased risks over the realizability of receivables and inventory, and recognized an impairment on assets including the acquired goodwill and the PowerXL® tradename intangible assets and disposed of certain inventory and products associated with the acquired brands. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company submitted a claim under its representation and warranty insurance policies, seeking coverage for certain losses resulting from breaches of representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement. During the three and six month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $ 65.0 million attributable to insurance proceeds received from its representation and warranty insurance policies.
The Company has been actively engaged in various litigation matters associated with the Tristar Business acquisition and continues to incur costs to facilitate such litigation matters. As part of these various litigation matters, the HPC segment and the Company are seeking recovery for losses and other damage incurred in connection with the product recalls and separately for alleged fraud committed by sellers of the Tristar Business and other persons in connection with the sale of the Tristar Business to the Company, and in each case other damages and losses incurred by the HPC segment, the Company and the acquired business. While the Company continues to pursue such actions, there can be no guarantees and assurances that recoveries associated with the litigation matters can be realized and recovered. As of March 30, 2025, the Company believes it has assessed appropriate risks and recognized applicable losses and reserves reflecting the net assets of the Company and its HPC segment.

The Company manages its continuing operations in three vertically integrated, product-focused reporting segments: (i) GPC, which consists of the Company’s global pet care business; (ii) H&G, which consists of the Company’s home and garden, insect control and cleaning products business and (iii) HPC, which consists of the Company’s global small kitchen and personal care appliances businesses. Global strategic initiatives and financial objectives for each reportable segment are determined at the corporate level. Each segment is responsible for implementing defined strategic initiatives and achieving certain financial objectives and has a president responsible for the sales and marketing initiatives and financial results for product lines within the segment.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker of the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) as the primary operating metric in evaluating the business and making operating decisions. EBITDA is calculated by excluding the Company’s income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation expense and amortization expense (from intangible assets) from net income. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain non-cash adjustments including share based compensation (See Note 11 - Share Based Compensation for further detail); impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, operating and finance lease assets, and goodwill and other intangible assets (See Note 5 - Property, Plant and Equipment and Note 6 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets and for further detail, as applicable); gain or loss from the early extinguishment of debt through the repurchase or early redemption of outstanding debt (See Note 7 - Debt for further detail, as applicable); and purchase accounting adjustments recognized in income subsequent to an acquisition attributable to the step-up in value on assets acquired, including, but not limited to, inventory or operating lease assets. Additionally, the Company will further recognize adjustments from Adjusted EBITDA for other costs, gains and losses that are considered significant, non-recurring, or otherwise not supporting the continuing operations and revenue generating activity of the segment or Company, including but not limited to, exit and disposal activities, or incremental costs associated with strategic transactions, restructuring and optimization initiatives such as the acquisition or divestiture of a business, related integration or separation costs, or the development and implementation of strategies to optimize or restructure the Company and its operations.
The segments are supported through center-led corporate shared service operations which are enabling functions to the segments consisting of finance and accounting, information technology, legal and human resource, supply chain and commercial operations. Costs attributable to such shared service operations are allocated to the segments based upon various metrics which are considered representative to the use and support provided by such enabling functions to each of the segments.
The Company also incurs costs attributable to corporate functions such as tax, treasury, internal audit, corporate finance, legal and corporate executive and board related governance costs which are considered corporate costs of the Company and not allocated to the segments. Interest costs attributable to external borrowings, including finance leases, are not recognized or allocated to segments. Interest income is generally not recognized or allocated to segments.

NOTE 16 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to controlling interest by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using its weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of share-based awards, based upon the treasury stock method, and the Exchangeable Notes, as determined under the net share settlement method. Performance based restricted stock units are excluded if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. From the time of the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes, the average market price of the Company’s common shares has been less than the initial conversion price, and consequently no shares have been included in diluted earnings per share for the conversion value of the Exchangeable Notes. The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, are as follows:
