Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business - Energizer Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Energizer or the Company) is a global manufacturer, marketer and distributer of household batteries, specialty batteries and portable lights under the Energizer® and Eveready® brand names. Energizer offers batteries using lithium, alkaline, carbon zinc, nickel metal hydride, zinc air and silver oxide constructions. On July 1, 2016, Energizer expanded its portfolio of brands with an acquisition of a leading designer and marketer of automotive fragrance and appearance products (2016 auto care acquisition). The Company's brands now include Refresh Your Car!®, California Scents®, Driven®, Bahama & Co.®, LEXOL® and Eagle One®. On July 2, 2018, Energizer acquired the Nu Finish® and Scratch Doctor® brands to add to its automotive appearance offerings (Nu Finish acquisition). Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Energizer and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. Energizer has no material equity method investments, variable interests or non-controlling interests. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The year-end condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in Energizer's Report on Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of our operations, financial position and cash flows have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for Energizer for the year ended September 30, 2018 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K dated November 16, 2018. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on a modified retrospective basis for all contracts as of the effective date. This guidance provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries and across capital markets. There was no material impact to retained earnings as a result of the adoption. See Note 2, Revenue Recognition, for additional discussion. Effective October 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This update requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be deferred and recognized over the term of the arrangement similar to internal-use software guidance. The Company will defer and recognize allowable implementation costs for future projects. Capitalized implementation costs were not material for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Effective October 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows- Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statements of cash flows. The Company has determined that this new guidance has no immediate impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This update aligns the measurement of leases under GAAP more closely with International Financial Reporting Standards by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this update will be effective for Energizer beginning October 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Energizer is in the process of evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial statements. On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This update intends to simplify hedge accounting and decrease complexity for both the preparation and understanding of hedging disclosures in the financial statements. This update is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the revised guidance will have on its accounting practices and financial statements.
