hedging settlement gains for the six months ended March 31, 2019 from Other items, net and into Cost of products sold. The gains were related to our currency hedges on payment of inventory purchases and will now be recorded in Cost of products sold to align with the new guidance. The Company recorded gains of $6.7 related to these hedging programs during the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The Company also began a zinc hedging program in the second quarter. See additional discussion in Note 13, Financial Instruments and Risk Management.
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 and nine months ended June 30, 2019.
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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases.

The amendments in this update will be effective for Energizer beginning October 1, 2019. Energizer is in the process of evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its financial statements.
(2) Revenue Recognition
Effective for the Company October 1, 2018, ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, introduced a five-step model for revenue recognition. In this new model, each contract should be reviewed and analyzed to determine its performance obligations, items affecting the transaction price, how to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and when to recognize revenue. The Company performed a review of its contracts and accounting policies considering the new revenue model. Through this review the Company determined that there was no material impact to our financial statements. The Company's revenue recognition policy, controls and processes have been updated to align with the new revenue recognition model.

When Performance Obligations are Satisfied
The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Sales predominantly contain a single delivery element, or performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. This typically occurs when finished goods are delivered to the customer or when finished goods are picked up by a customer or customer’s carrier, depending on contract terms.
Transaction Price
In accordance with the guidance, the Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods. Net sales reflect the transaction prices for contracts, which include units shipped at selling list prices reduced by variable consideration as determined by the terms of each individual contract. Discounts are offered to customers for early payment and an estimate of the discount is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the same period as the sale.
The Company offers a variety of programs, primarily to its retail customers, designed to promote sales of its products. Such programs require periodic payments and allowances based on estimated results of specific programs. These programs are considered variable consideration and are recorded as a reduction to net sales at the time revenue is recognized. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on specific customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to reimbursement based on actual occurrence or performance. Where applicable, future reimbursements are estimated based on a combination of historical patterns and future expectations regarding specific in-market product performance. The Company accrues, at the time of sale, the estimated total payments and allowances associated with each transaction. Customers redeem trade promotions in the form of payments from the accrued trade allowances or invoice credits against trade receivables. Additionally, the Company offers programs directly to
11

ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (CONDENSED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions - Unaudited)
consumers to promote the sale of its products. The Company continually assesses the adequacy of accruals for customer and consumer promotional program costs not yet paid. To the extent total program payments differ from estimates, adjustments may be necessary. Historically, these adjustments have not been material.
Our standard sales terms generally include payments within 30 to 60 days and are final with returns or exchanges not permitted unless a special exception is made. Reserves are established based on historical data and recorded in cases where the right of return does exist for a particular sale. The Company does not offer warranties on products.
The Company’s contracts with customers do not have significant financing components or non-cash consideration and the Company does not have unbilled revenue or significant amounts of prepayments from customers. Revenue is recorded net of the taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities which are generally included in the price to the customer. Shipping and handling activities are accounted for as contract fulfillment costs and recorded in Cost of products sold.
(3) Acquisitions
Battery Acquisition - On January 2, 2019, the Company completed the Battery Acquisition with a contractual purchase price of $2,000.0, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The acquisition expanded our battery portfolio globally with the addition of a strong value brand. The initial cash paid after contractual and estimated working capital adjustments was $1,956.2. Included in the above amount is $400.0 of cash consideration that has preliminarily been allocated to the Divestment business discussed below. Energizer funded the Battery Acquisition through net proceeds from the issuance of senior notes, term loans and cash on hand. See Note 10, Debt, for additional discussion on the senior notes and term loans issued.
Success fees of $13.0 were earned by financial advisers in January 2019 after closing the acquisition. This was in addition to the $2.0 paid in January 2018 for services rendered on the transaction.
On December 11, 2018, the European Commission approved the acquisition of the Acquired Battery Business conditioned on the divestiture of the Divestiture Business. Energizer will retain the rights to the Varta brand in Latin America and Asia Pacific, as well as Spectrum’s global Rayovac branded consumer and hearing aid batteries business. On May 29, 2019, the Company signed a definitive agreement for the sale of the Divestment Business to VARTA AG and expects to complete this divestiture by the end of calendar year 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. The assets and liabilities associated with this business have been reported as held for sale both on the preliminary purchase price allocation and the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019.
The Battery Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.
We have calculated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired for the Battery Acquisition based on our preliminary valuation analysis. Certain preliminary values, including Inventory, Property, plant and equipment, Intangible assets, Deferred taxes and the resultant Goodwill, are not yet finalized pending the final purchase price allocation and are subject to change as additional information is obtained and the final valuation is completed. Preliminary estimates will be finalized within one year of the date of acquisition.
For purposes of the allocation, the Company determined a preliminary fair value adjustment for inventory based on the estimated selling price of finished goods on hand at the closing date less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The preliminary fair value adjustment for the inventory of $14.2 was recorded as expense to Cost of products sold in the second quarter 2019 as that inventory was sold. The fair values of the Battery Acquisition's Property, plant and equipment were estimated using the market approach for land and variations of the cost approach for the buildings and equipment. The fair values of the Battery Acquisition's identifiable intangible assets were estimated using variations of the income approach such as the relief from royalty method and the multi-period excess earnings method.
The Company is still evaluating the current and deferred tax implications and the accounting implications of the asset versus stock deal by legal jurisdiction, as well as the varying statutory tax rates across the global business. The Company maintained the deferred balances from the carrying amount of the Acquired Battery Business as of January 2, 2019 until that evaluation is completed. Preliminary step ups on the deferred tax liabilities have been recorded based on the valuation of the Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets.

ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (CONDENSED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions - Unaudited)
Assets held for sale include the valuation of Inventory, Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets consistent with the valuation methods discussed above. The preliminary fair value adjustment for the inventory of $11.2 was recorded as expense in the results from discontinued operations in the second quarter 2019 as that inventory was sold. A preliminary estimate of goodwill has also been allocated to the Assets held for sale.
The following table outlines the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition:

Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 37.8 |
Trade receivables | 59.4 |
Inventories | 82.4 |
Other current assets | 22.5 |
Assets held for sale | 805.0 |
Property, plant and equipment, net | 138.5 |
Goodwill | 547.2 |
Other intangible assets, net | 747.5 |
Other assets | 14.1 |
Current portion of capital leases | (1.2 | )
Accounts payable | (39.2 | )
Other current liabilities | (24.8 | )
Long-term debt | (14.7 | )
Liabilities held for sale | (405.0 | )
Other liabilities | (13.3 | )
Net assets acquired | $ | 1,956.2 |

The table below outlines the purchased identifiable intangible assets of $747.5:

|  | Total |  | Weighted Average Useful Lives
Trade names |  | $ | 513.0 |  |  | Indefinite
Proprietary technology |  | 61.0 |  |  | 5.9
Customer relationships |  | 173.5 |  |  | 15.0
Total Other intangible assets, net |  | $ | 747.5 |  |  |

During the quarter, the Company continued to review its allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company adjusted the allocation of goodwill between the assets held for sale of the Divestment Business and the remaining assets of the Battery Acquisition. The goodwill allocated to the Divestment business was decreased by $50.0.
Estimated asset valuations and assumed liabilities, including deferred income taxes, may be adjusted in subsequent filings as final purchase price allocations are completed. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired will be allocated to residual goodwill.
The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise with this transaction through network optimization, selling, general and administrative reductions and procurement efficiencies.

Auto Care Acquisition - On November 15, 2018, Energizer entered into a definitive acquisition agreement to acquire Spectrum’s global auto care business, including the Armor All, STP, and A/C PRO brands for a contractual purchase price of $1,250.0, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The contractual purchase price was comprised of

$937.5 in cash and $312.5 of newly-issued Energizer common stock to Spectrum. The acquisition allowed for the Company to become a global leader in the auto care market and added automotive performance and air conditioning recharge products to its auto care portfolio.
On January 28, 2019, the Company completed the Auto Care Acquisition. The initial cash paid after contractual and estimated working capital adjustments was $938.7. Per the acquisition agreement, the equity consideration to Spectrum was determined by dividing the contractually committed common stock amount of $312.5 by the volume weighted average sales price (VWAP) per share of the Company's common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding November 15, 2018, subject to certain potential adjustments under such agreement. As a result, 5.3 million shares were issued to Spectrum on January 28, 2019. The equity consideration paid to Spectrum was fair valued at $240.5 based on the 5.3 million shares at the Energizer closing stock price of $45.55 on January 28, 2019. In addition, per the terms of the agreement, additional consideration of $36.8 was included in the above cash consideration paid to Spectrum based on the difference between the 10 day VWAP and the 20 day VWAP beginning with the 10th trading day immediately preceding November 15, 2018.
The Company funded a portion of the cash consideration of the Auto Care Acquisition with the issuance of new senior notes and the issuance of common stock and Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock in January 2019. Refer to Note 10, Debt, and Note 12, Shareholders' Equity, for further information on the debt and equity issuances, respectively.
Success fees of $6.0 were earned by a financial adviser in January 2019 after closing the acquisition. This was in addition to the $2.0 earned in November 2018 for services rendered on the transaction.
The Auto Care Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.
We have calculated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired for the Auto Care Acquisition based on our preliminary valuation analysis. Certain preliminary values, including Inventory, Property, plant and equipment, Intangible assets, Deferred taxes and the resultant Goodwill, are not yet finalized pending the final purchase price allocation and are subject to change as additional information is obtained and the final valuation is completed. Preliminary estimates will be finalized within one year of the date of acquisition.
For purposes of the allocation, the Company determined a preliminary fair value adjustment for inventory based on the estimated selling price of finished goods on hand at the closing date less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The preliminary fair value adjustment for the inventory was $19.5, of which $13.0 and $6.5 was recorded in the second and third quarter, respectively, to Cost of products sold as the respective inventory was sold. The fair values of the Auto Care Acquisition's Property, plant and equipment were estimated using variations of the cost approach for the building and equipment. The fair values of the Auto Care Acquisition's identifiable intangible assets were estimated using variations of the income approach such as the relief from royalty method and the multi-period excess earnings method.
The Company is still evaluating the current and deferred tax implications and the accounting implications of the asset versus stock deal by legal jurisdiction, as well as the varying statutory tax rates across the global business. The Company maintained the deferred balances from the carrying amount of the Acquired Auto Care Business as of January 28, 2019 until that evaluation is completed. Preliminary step ups on the deferred tax liabilities have been recorded based on the valuation of the Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets.

During the quarter, the Company continued its assessment of the value of inventory on the opening balance sheet. As a result it was determined that a $1.7 reduction to inventory, along with an offsetting increase to goodwill, was needed to adjust the preliminary allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Estimated asset valuations and assumed liabilities, including deferred income taxes, will be adjusted in subsequent filings as final purchase price allocations are completed. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired will be allocated to residual goodwill.
The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise with this transaction through network optimization, selling, general and administrative reductions and procurement efficiencies. The assignment of goodwill to our reportable segments is not currently complete. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
Nu Finish Acquisition - On July 2, 2018, the Company acquired all of the assets of Reed-Union Corporation's automotive appearance business, including Nu Finish Car Polish and Scratch Doctor brands (Nu Finish Acquisition). The acquisition purchase price of $38.1 was funded through a combination of cash on hand and committed debt facilities. The revenue in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019 associated with the Nu Finish Acquisition was $3.0 and $5.9, respectively, and earnings before income taxes was a loss of $0.6 and earnings of $0.2, respectively.
We have calculated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired for the Nu Finish Acquisition and completed our valuation analysis. For purposes of the allocation, the Company determined a fair value adjustment for inventory based on the estimated selling price of finished goods on hand at the closing date less the sum of (a) costs of

disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The fair value adjustment for the inventory of $0.2 was recorded as expense to Cost of products sold in the fourth quarter 2018 as that inventory was sold.

The nine months ended June 30, 2019 include the inventory fair value pre-tax adjustment of $11.2, divestment related pre-tax costs of $9.9, and allocated pre-tax interest expense of $9.9.
(5) Income Taxes
The nine month effective tax rate was 30.3% as compared to 45.3% for the prior year comparative period. The current year provision included the estimated impact of disallowed transaction costs related to the Battery Acquisition and the Auto Care Acquisition for which the Company does not believe that there will be an income tax benefit. Both years' provision included the impact of the U.S. tax legislation discussed below.
On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, formally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted into law. The Tax Act provided for numerous significant tax law changes and modifications with varying effective dates, which included reducing the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, creating a territorial tax system (with a mandatory transition tax on previously deferred foreign earnings) and allowing for immediate capital expensing of certain qualified property. As a fiscal year end taxpayer, certain provisions of the Tax Act began to impact us in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017, while other provisions did not impact us until fiscal 2019. The corporate tax rate reduction was effective for Energizer as of January 1, 2018 and resulted in a fiscal year federal statutory blended rate of 24.5% for fiscal year 2018 with the full impact of the reduced rate to 21% beginning in fiscal year 2019.
As a result of the reduction of the Federal corporate income tax rate, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities at the rate which they are expected to reverse in the future. The Company has finalized the remeasurement and did not have any adjustments to the $3.0 recorded in fiscal year 2018. The provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2018, included approximately $0.6.
The mandatory transition tax is based on our total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) that we previously deferred from U.S. income taxes as well as the amount of non-U.S. income tax paid on such earnings. We have completed our accounting for the income tax effect of the mandatory transition tax in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. We recorded an additional $0.7 during the nine months ended June 30, 2019 related to the anticipated state tax impact for a total tax of $36.7. Included in the provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was an initial estimate of $30.0 related to the transition tax.
The Tax Act created a provision known as Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) that imposes tax on certain earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company has elected to treat GILTI as a current period expense.
(6) Share-Based Payments
Total compensation cost for Energizer’s share-based compensation arrangements was $6.7 and $20.8 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $7.0 and $21.0 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and was recorded in SG&A expense.

(7) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of restricted stock equivalents, performance share awards and deferred compensation equity plans. Common shares issuable upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (MCPS) are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method and are only included if the conversion would be further dilutive to the calculation.

(8) Segments
Operations for Energizer are managed via two major geographic reportable segments: Americas and International. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, acquisition and integration activities, amortization costs, research & development costs and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of substantially all acquisition and integration costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.
Energizer’s operating model includes a combination of standalone and shared business functions between the geographic segments, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include, but are not limited to, IT, procurement and finance. Energizer applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Such allocations are estimates, and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a standalone basis.

Long-term debt - On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement which provided for a 5-year $400.0 revolving credit facility (2018 Revolving Facility) and which provided for a $200.0 3-year term loan A facility and $1,000.0 7-year term loan B facility (2018 Term Loans). The borrowings under the term loan A require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 6.25% of the original principal balance, or $12.5. The borrowings under the term loan B require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $2.5. The borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin based on total Company leverage. The credit agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants. The 2018 Term Loans began to accrue ticking fees in July 2018 and interest in December 2018 upon funding the Term Loans into escrow. The funds were released from escrow and used to fund the closing of the Battery Acquisition on January 2, 2019.
Obligations under the 2018 Revolving Facility and 2018 Term Loan are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of its existing and future direct and indirectly wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries. There is a first priority perfected lien on substantially all of the assets and property of the Company and guarantors and proceeds therefrom excluding certain excluded assets.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made payments of $122.5 and $2.5 on the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, respectively. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company made additional payments of $15.0 on the Term Loan B facility. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $40.0 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and had $7.6 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $352.4 remained available as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, our weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 4.9% and 4.3%, respectively.
On January 17, 2019, the Company finalized pricing of $600.0 in senior notes due in 2027 at 7.750% (2027 Notes). The 2027 Notes priced at 100% of the principal amount and the offering closed concurrently with the Auto Care Acquisition on January 28, 2019 and the proceeds were utilized to fund the acquisition. The 2027 Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws. Interest is payable semi-annually on the 2027 Notes in January and July. The 2027 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed

The 2026 Notes priced at 100% of the principal amount and the offering closed in July 2018. The 2026 Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws. Interest is payable semi-annually on the 2026 Notes in January and July. The 2026 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness of the Company under its 2018 Revolving Facility.
On January 2, 2019, the proceeds of the 2018 Term Loans and the 2026 Notes were released from escrow and utilized to fund the Battery Acquisition, repay borrowings under the Term Loan due in 2022, amounts drawn on the 2015 Revolving Facility, and pay acquisition related costs, including debt issuance costs.
Interest Rate Swaps - In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%.
In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with an effective date of October 1, 2018 with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt at an interest rate of 2.47%. The swap has a current notional value of $400.0. On April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreased $50.0. This decrease will continue each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020.

On January 2, 2019, the outstanding borrowings on the 2015 Revolving Facility were paid with the proceeds from the 2018 Term Loans and 2026 Notes.
Debt Covenants - The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these facilities would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements.
The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.

Issuance of Common Stock - In January 2019, the Company issued 4,687,498 shares of common stock, which included the underwriters' exercise in full of their option to purchase 611,412 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments. The net proceeds from the sale of the common stock was $205.3, after deducting the underwriting discounts and third party fees, and were utilized to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Auto Care Acquisition and related fees and expenses.
On January 28, 2019, in connection with the Auto Care Acquisition, the Company issued 5,278,921 shares of common stock to Spectrum as partial consideration for the purchase of the Auto Care Acquisition. The equity consideration paid to Spectrum was valued at $240.5 based on the closing stock price of $45.55 on January 28, 2019.
In association with the equity consideration paid to Spectrum, the Company entered into a Shareholder Agreement with Spectrum. The Shareholder Agreement includes a 24 month standstill provision and an 18 month period as of the date of the Auto Care Acquisition closing date (Closing Date), in which Spectrum is required to vote in agreement with the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, Spectrum is unable to sell any of its shares for the first 12 months after the Closing Date. After the 12 month period has ended, Spectrum can require the Company to file a shelf registration allowing for Spectrum to sell its common shares in one or more registered offerings. However, Spectrum can not transfer common shares to any entity that would result in the entity owning more than

4.9% of the Company's outstanding common shares, after giving effect to the sale. Following the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company will have the right to repurchase any or all of the common shares then held by Spectrum for a purchase price per share equal to the greater of the VWAP per share for the ten consecutive trading days beginning on the 12th trading day immediately preceding notice of the repurchase from the Company, and $65.12, which equals 110% of the Common Stock VWAP, as defined by the Auto Care Acquisition purchase agreement.
Issuance of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock - In January 2019, the Company issued 2,156,250 shares of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (MCPS), with a par value of $0.01 per share and liquidation preference of $100.00 per share, which included the underwriters' exercise in full of their option to purchase 281,250 additional shares of MCPS to cover over-allotments. The net proceeds from the sale of the MCPS was $199.5, after deducting the underwriting discounts and third party fees, as well as the capped call transaction described below, and were utilized to fund the Auto Care Acquisition and related fees and expenses.
Each outstanding share of MCPS will convert automatically on the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be January 15, 2022, into between 1.7892 and 2.1739 shares of common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average VWAP per share of common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately prior to January 15, 2022.
Dividends on the MCPS will be payable on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 7.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share of MCPS, and may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of common stock. If declared, dividends on the MCPS will be payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2019 and ending on, and including, January 15, 2022.
On January 28, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.8333 per share of MCPS. The dividend was paid on April 15, 2019 and totaled $3.9.
On April 29, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.875 per share of MCPS. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2019, and totaled $4.0.
Subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter, on July 29, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $1.875 per share of MCPS, payable on October 15, 2019, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business October 1, 2019.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2019, total dividends declared on MCPS were $7.7 while dividends paid on MCPS were $4.0.
No dividend or distributions may be declared or paid on shares of common stock, and no common stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of shares of common stock has been set aside for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding shares of MCPS.
In connection with the offering of the MCPS, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain counterparties. The capped call options are expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock, subject to a cap, upon any conversion of MCPS. The Company paid $9.0 for the capped call transactions which reduced the net proceeds received from the MCPS.

(13) Financial Instruments and Risk Management
The market risk inherent in the Company's operations creates potential earnings volatility arising from changes in currency rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company's policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading or speculative purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.
Concentration of Credit Risk—The counterparties to derivative contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions and are generally institutions with which the Company maintains lines of credit. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts through brokers nor does it trade derivative contracts on any other exchange or over-the-counter markets. Risk of currency positions and mark-to-market valuation of positions are strictly monitored.
The Company continually monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside rating agencies. While nonperformance by these counterparties exposes Energizer to potential credit losses, such losses are not anticipated.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to commodity price and foreign currency risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, as well as the Company's objectives and strategies for holding these derivative instruments.
Commodity Price Risk—The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities.
The Company began entering into hedging contracts on zinc purchases in March 2019. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into 2020. There were four open contracts at June 30, 2019, with a total notional value of approximately$16. The pre-tax loss recognized on the zinc contracts was $0.7 at June 30, 2019, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.
Foreign Currency Risk—A significant portion of Energizer’s product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, a strengthening in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve margins. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.
Additionally, Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in a transaction gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rate Risk—Energizer has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2019, Energizer had variable rate debt outstanding with a principal balance of $1,075.0 under the 2018 Term Loans. In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (2017 Interest rate swap) with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap (2018 Interest rate swap) with an effective date of October 1, 2018, with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt of $400.0 at an interest rate of 2.47%. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreases $50.0 each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020.

These hedging instruments are considered cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, Energizer recorded an unrealized pre-tax net loss of $3.9 and a net gain of $7.7, respectively, on these interest rate swap contracts, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Cash Flow Hedges—The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of the forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $1.3 and $4.3, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2019 levels, over the next 12 months, $1.5 of the pre-tax gain included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2020. There were 64 open foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2019, with a total notional value of approximately $140.
Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships—Energizer enters into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge existing balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by corresponding exchange losses or gains on the underlying exposures, and as such are not subject to significant market risk. There were ten open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2019, with a total notional value of approximately $206.

Fair Value Hierarchy—Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Energizer had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2019 and at September 30, 2018.
Due to the nature of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of cash was determined based on level 1 inputs and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined based on level 2 inputs.
At June 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Company's unfunded deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of investment options that are offered under the plan. The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, interest rate swap and zinc contracts, as described above, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the exit lease liability was determined based on the discounted cash flows of the remaining lease rentals reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property.
At June 30, 2019, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,493.4 compared to its carrying value of $2,439.2 and at September 30, 2018, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $599.2 compared to its carrying value of $600.0. At September 30, 2018, the fair market value of the fixed rate long-term debt held in escrow was $1,274.4 compared to its carrying value $1,254.2. The long term debt held in escrow outstanding at September 30, 2018 was funded in the the second quarter and was no longer held in escrow at June 30, 2019. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (CONDENSED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under the agreements, Energizer and Spectrum will provide each other certain specified back office support services on a transitional basis, including among other things, payroll and other human resource services, information systems as well as accounting support.
The charges for the transition services are generally intended to allow the providing company to fully recover the allocated direct costs of providing the services, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, and including a nominal profit. Energizer anticipates that it will generally be in a position to complete the transition of most services on or before 12 months following the date of the acquisitions.
For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred expense of $5.7 and $10.7 in SG&A, respectively, and $0.3 and $0.7 in COGS, respectively. The Company also recorded income of $0.7 and $0.8 in Other items, net related to the reverse transaction services agreements provided for the quarter and nine month period, respectively. Related to these agreements, the Company has a payable of $10.7 in Other current liabilities and a receivable of $18.9 in Other current assets to Spectrum as of June 30, 2019.
The Company also entered into a supply agreement with Spectrum, ancillary to the Auto Care Acquisition that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition. The supply agreement resulted in expense to the Company of $4.8 and $9.2 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.2 in Accounts payable at June 30, 2019 related to these purchases.
In addition, at June 30, 2019, the Company had open invoices payable to Spectrum for $0.4 related to construction in process at the Spectrum headquarters as well as $0.3 related to the IT project to clone their accounting system.
In discontinued operations, the Company recorded income of $4.0 and $8.1 for reverse TSA, and recorded expense of $0.3 and $1.0 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. In addition, there was a payable due to Spectrum of $10.9 recorded in Liabilities held for sale and a receivable from Spectrum of $4.8 recorded in Assets held for sale as of June 30, 2019.
(17) Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligations
Legal proceedings/contingencies - The Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. We are a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. We review our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.
Other obligations - In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into supply and service contracts. These contracts can include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. At June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $22.7 of purchase obligations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is meant to provide investors with information that management believes helpful in reviewing Energizer’s historical-basis results of operations, operating segment results, and liquidity and capital resources. Statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) that are not historical may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should read the following MD&A in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) and corresponding notes included herein. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements. The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risk, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements as well as in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.
All amounts discussed are in millions of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful comparisons to the corresponding historical or future period. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of the Company's on-going operating performance, such as acquisition and integration costs and related items and the one-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation. In addition, these measures help investors to see year over year comparability when excluding currency fluctuations, acquisition activity as well as other company initiatives that are not on-going. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are an enhancement to assist investors in understanding our business and in performing analysis consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted.
We provide the following non-GAAP measures and calculations, as well as the corresponding reconciliation to the closest GAAP measure:
Segment Profit. This amount represents the operations of our two reportable segments including allocations for shared support functions. General corporate and other expenses, Global marketing expenses, R&D expenses, Amortization expense, Gain on sale of real estate, Interest expense, Other items, net and charges related to Acquisition and integration have all been excluded from segment profit.
Adjusted Net Earnings From Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings From Continuing Operations Per Common Share (EPS). These measures exclude the impact of the costs related to acquisition and integration, the gain on sale of real estate and the one-time impact of the new U.S. income tax legislation.
Organic. This is the non-GAAP financial measurement of the change in revenue, segment profit or other margins that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the impact of acquisitions, change in Argentina Operations and impact of currency from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as defined below:
Impact of acquisitions. Energizer completed the Auto Care Acquisition on January 28, 2019, Battery Acquisition on January 2, 2018, and Nu Finish Acquisition on July 2, 2018. These adjustments include the impact of the acquisitions' ongoing operations contributed to each respective income statement caption for the first year's operations directly after the acquisition date. This does not include the impact of acquisition and integration costs associated with any acquisition.
Change in Argentina Operations. The Company is presenting separately all changes in sales and segment profit from our Argentina affiliate due to the designation of the economy as highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018. For presentation purposes, the Company has recast Argentina's prior period operations as well.
39

Impact of currency. The Company evaluates the operating performance of our Company on a currency neutral basis. The impact of currency is the difference between the value of current year foreign operations at the current period ending USD exchange rate, compared to the value of the current year foreign operations at the prior period ending USD exchange rate.
Adjusted Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) as a percent of sales. Detail for adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales are also supplemental non-GAAP measures. These measures exclude the impact of costs related to acquisition and integration.

Gross margin percentage for the third fiscal quarter of 2019 was 38.1%, compared to 44.8% in the prior year. Excluding $12.4 from the current quarter inventory step up resulting from purchase accounting and current quarter acquisition and integration costs, gross margin was 40.0%, down 480 basis points from prior year, largely driven by the lower margin rate profile of the acquired businesses. Unfavorable movement in foreign currencies and material pricing also contributed to the decrease but was offset by improved pricing realized across both of our segments.
Gross margin percentage for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 was down 620 basis points. Excluding $44.1 from the current year inventory step up resulting from purchase accounting and current year acquisition and integration costs, gross margin decreased 370 basis points driven by the lower margin rate profile of the acquired businesses and unfavorable movement in foreign currency. These decreases were partially offset by the lapping of the investments made in continuous improvement initiatives in the prior year and the reclassification of currency gains from Other items, net into Cost of products sold, due to the adoption of new accounting guidance in the second fiscal quarter.
Advertising and sales promotion expense (A&P) was $34.3, or 5.3% of net sales, in the third fiscal quarter of 2019, as compared to $22.9, or 5.8% of net sales, in the prior third fiscal quarter 2018. Excluding the $11.0 million of A&P from the acquired businesses, the legacy business A&P was $23.3 million, or 5.8% of net sales, essentially flat compared to the prior year.
A&P was $99.9, or 5.6% of net sales, for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $81.1, or 6.0% of net sales, in the prior year comparative period. Excluding the $14.6 of A&P from the acquired businesses, the legacy business had A&P of $85.3, or 6.4% of legacy net sales, an increase of 40 basis points, driven by increased media spending.
Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A) was $127.6 in the third fiscal quarter of 2019, or 19.7% of net sales, as compared to $111.9, or 28.5% of net sales, in the prior period. Included in the third fiscal quarter of 2019 and 2018 results were acquisition and integration costs of $15.1 and $22.4, respectively. Excluding acquisition and integration costs, SG&A was $112.5, or 17.4% of net sales, as compared to $89.5, or 22.8% of net sales, in the prior year. Excluding the SG&A of the acquired business of $30.8 and the acquisition and integration costs, legacy SG&A as a percent of net sales was 20.4%, or $81.7, down 240 basis points to prior year third quarter. The benefit of our continuous improvement initiatives as well as lapping prior year investments in those initiatives, lower compensation expense, favorable impacts of foreign currency and lapping prior year unfavorable legal costs were slightly offset by the licensing revenue reclassification to net sales.
SG&A was $373.5 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, or 21.0% of net sales, as compared to $315.3 or 23.5% of net sales, in the prior year comparative period. Included in the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 results were acquisition and integration costs of $63.1 and $44.6, respectively. Excluding the acquisition and integration costs, SG&A was $310.4, an increase of $39.7 over the prior year. SG&A, excluding acquisition and integration costs was 17.5% of net sales compared to 20.2% in the prior year, down 270 basis points. Excluding the SG&A of the acquired business of $56.3 and the acquisition and integration costs, legacy SG&A as a percent of net sales was 19.0%, or $254.1, a decrease of $16.6 over the prior year. The benefit of our continuous improvement initiatives as well as lapping prior year investments in those initiatives and lower mark to market expense on our unfunded deferred compensation liability was partially offset by the licensing revenue reclassification to net sales.
Research and Development (R&D) was $9.5, or 1.5% of net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $5.2, or 1.3% of net sales, in the prior year comparative period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2019, R&D was $23.7, or 1.3% of net sales, as compared to $15.9, or 1.2% of net sales in the prior year comparative period.
Interest expense was $51.9 for the third fiscal quarter of 2019, compared to $17.7 for the prior year comparative period. Excluding the acquisition costs in the prior year of $3.4, the current year interest expense increased $37.6 attributed to higher debt associated with the acquisitions.
Interest expense was $177.3 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, and $47.6 for the prior year comparative period. The nine months ended June 30, 2019 expense included $65.6 of interest expense and ticking fees related

to the Battery Acquisition as well as the issuance fees associated with the Battery and Auto Care Acquisition's new debt issued in January 2019. Excluding the acquisition costs in the current year of $65.6 and the prior year of $6.3, the current year interest expense increased $70.4 for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the prior year comparative period driven by higher debt associated with the acquisitions.

The effective tax rate was 30.3% as compared to 45.3% for the prior year comparative period. The current rate includes $0.7 for the one-time impact of U.S. tax legislation passed in December 2017 and the impact of disallowed transaction costs resulting from the acquisitions, which drove a higher tax rate. The prior year rate includes $30.6 million for the one-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation passed in December 2017 and the impact of tax withholding expense related to the cash movement that occurred to fund the Battery Acquisition. Excluding the impact of our Non-GAAP adjustments, the year to date tax rate was 20.4% as compared to 23.6% in the prior year. The decrease in the rate is driven by the new 21% statutory U.S. rate effective for all of fiscal year 2019 compared to the statutory rate of 24.5% in fiscal year 2018.
Segment Results Operations for Energizer are managed via two major geographic reportable segments: Americas and International. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, acquisition and integration activities, amortization costs, research & development costs, gain on sale of real estate and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of substantially all acquisition and integration costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.
Energizer’s operating model includes a combination of standalone and shared business functions between the geographic segments, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include, but are not limited to, IT, procurement and finance. Energizer applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Such allocations are estimates, and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a standalone basis. This structure is the basis for Energizer's reportable operating segments information, as included in the tables in Note 8, Segments, to the Consolidated (Condensed) Financial Statements for the periods ended June 30, 2019. Segment sales and Segment profit analysis for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019 are presented below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Energizer’s primary future cash needs will be centered on operating activities, working capital, strategic investments and debt reductions. We believe that our future cash from operations, together with our access to capital markets, will provide adequate resources to fund our operating and financing needs. Our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms in the future will be affected by many factors, including: (i) our credit rating, (ii) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (iii) the current state of the economy. There can be no assurances that we will continue to have access to capital markets on terms acceptable to us. See the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2018 and Item 1A Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.
Cash is managed centrally with net earnings reinvested locally and working capital requirements met from existing liquid funds. At June 30, 2019, Energizer had $206.4 of cash and cash equivalents, approximately 96% of which was held outside of the U.S. Given our extensive international operations, a significant portion of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations.
On December 17, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement which provided for a 5-year $400.0 revolving credit facility (2018 Revolving Facility). The borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin based on total Company leverage. The credit agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $40.0 of outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Facility and had $7.6 of outstanding letters of credit.
On January 2, 2019, the Company completed the Battery Acquisition and paid cash consideration of $1,918.4, net of cash acquired. The Company utilized the proceeds of two senior note offerings due in 2026 of $500.0 at 6.375% and €650.0 at 4.625% as well as the proceeds of $1,200.0 of borrowings under a $200.0 3-year term loan A facility and $1,000.0 7-year term loan B facility. The term loan borrowings bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin based on total Company leverage. The proceeds from the borrowings were utilized to fund the Battery Acquisition, repay borrowings under the Term Loan due in 2022 and outstanding under the Revolving Facility, and pay acquisition related costs including debt issuance costs.
On January 17, 2019, the Company finalized pricing of $600.0 million in senior notes due in 2027 at 7.750% (2027 Notes), which were issued by wholly-owned subsidiaries. The 2027 Notes priced at 100% of the principal amount and the offering closed concurrently with the Auto Care Acquisition on January 28, 2019.
On January 28, 2019, the Company completed the Auto Care Acquisition and paid cash consideration of $935.4, net of cash acquired, and equity consideration of $240.5. The Company utilized the proceeds of the 2027 Notes as well as the net proceeds of $404.8 from issuance of common stock and Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock in January 2019 to fund the cash consideration of the Auto Care Acquisition and pay acquisition related costs including debt issuance costs and the capped call transactions.

Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities from continuing operations was $30.4 in the nine months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $188.0 in the prior year comparative period. This change of $157.6 was primarily driven by year over year working capital changes of approximately $109.
The largest impact driving the working capital change was the year over year increase in Accounts receivable of $72.

• | Approximately $25 of the increase relates to receivables of the newly acquired Auto Care and Battery businesses since the acquisition date. The Auto Care business is in its peak season, which contributed to higher balances at June 30, 2019 versus the prior year legacy business.

• | Prior to closing the acquisitions, the business factored its receivables through various arrangements which were in part paused or terminated upon close. During the third fiscal quarter we reinstated various factoring arrangements, which helped to offset some of the accounts receivable increase. We expect to see additional benefit in the fourth quarter as we continue to reinstate the factoring programs.

• | Finally, our legacy business had strong organic growth year over year due to distribution gains and price increases, which also added to the year over year increase in receivables.

Increased inventory also contributed to the working capital change of approximately $60. This was due to a planned shift in production to build inventory at our US plants earlier in the fiscal year to allow for better response time on holiday orders and potential hurricane activity in the fourth fiscal quarter.
The remaining outflow was due to cash expenditures associated with the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions, most notably the payment of interest and ticking fees associated with the Term Loan facility that was utilized to fund the Battery Acquisition and the fees paid related to the issuance of the bonds to fund the Auto Care Acquisition.
Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $2,490.1 and $11.1 in nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and consisted of the following:

• | Capital expenditures of $36.4 and $17.2 in the nine months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

• | Acquisitions, net of cash acquired was $2,453.8 in the nine months ended June 30, 2019. This included $1,518.4 for the Battery Acquisition and $935.4 for the cash portion of the Auto Care Acquisition. Net cash from discontinued operations includes the remaining $400.0 currently allocated to the purchase of the Divestment Business.

Investing cash outflows of approximately $60 are anticipated for the full fiscal year 2019 for capital expenditures relating to capital integration activities for the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions, as well as maintenance, product development and cost reduction initiatives on the legacy business.

In July 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved an authorization for the Company to acquire up to 7.5 million shares of its common stock. During the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 1.0 million shares for $45.0, at an average price of $43.46. Future share repurchases, if any, will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of the market conditions, capital allocation objectives, legal and regulatory requirements and other factors.
From July 2015 and through the date of this filing, a total of 4.7 million shares were repurchased on the open market at an average price of $43.91 under the current share repurchase authorization. At August 6, 2019, the date of this filing, 2.8 million shares remain available for repurchase.
Other Matters
Environmental Matters
Accrued environmental costs at June 30, 2019 were $6.9. It is difficult to quantify with certainty the cost of environmental matters, particularly remediation and future capital expenditures for environmental control equipment. Total environmental capital expenditures and operating expenses are not expected to have a material effect on our total capital and operating expenditures, earnings or competitive position. However, current environmental spending estimates could be modified as a result of changes in our plans or our understanding of underlying facts, changes in legal requirements, including any requirements related to global climate change, or other factors.
Contractual Obligations
A summary of Energizer's significant contractual obligations at June 30, 2019 is shown below:

| Total | Less than 1 year | 1 - 3 years | 3 - 5 years | More than 5 years
Long-term debt, including current maturities | $ | 3,514.2 |  | $ | 10.0 |  | $ | 97.5 |  | $ | 20.0 |  | $ | 3,386.7 |

(1) The above table is based upon the debt balance and LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2019. Energizer has an interest rate swap agreement that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200 of Energizer's variable rate debt at an interest rate of 2.03% and an interest rate swap agreement that the fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $400 of variable rate debt at 2.47%.
(2) Capital lease payments include the full capital leases obligation of $47.4 as well as the interest included in the payment of $47.7.
(3) Globally, total expected pension contributions for the Company for fiscal year 2019 are estimated to be $6.8. The Company has made payments of $4.0 year to date. The projected payments beyond fiscal year 2019 are not currently estimable.
(4) Included in the table above are future purchase commitments for goods and services which are legally binding and that specify all significant terms including price and/or quantity.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
53

The market risk inherent in the Company's financial instruments’ positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The following risk management discussion and the estimated amounts generated from the sensitivity analysis are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain adverse market conditions occur. The Company's derivatives are used only for identifiable exposures, and we have not entered into hedges for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.
Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
A significant share of Energizer's product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.
The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $1.3 and $4.3, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges, included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2019 levels over the next twelve months, $1.5 of the pre-tax gain included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2019, is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2020.
Derivatives Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
Energizer's foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.
The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures, thus they are not subject to significant market risk. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2019 resulted in a loss of $1.3 and $0.2, respectively, and income of $8.7 and $10.0 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and was recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.
Commodity Price Exposure
The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities.
The Company began entering into hedging contract on zinc purchases in March 2019. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturity for these hedges extend into 2020. There were four open contracts at June 30, 2019, with a total notional value of approximately $16. The pre-tax loss recognized on the zinc contracts was $0.7 at June 30, 2019, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.
54

Interest Rate Exposure
The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2019, Energizer had variable rate debt outstanding with a principal balance of $1,075.0 under the 2018 Term Loans. In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with an effective date of October 1, 2018, with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt of $400.0 at an interest rate of 2.47%. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreases $50.0 each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, our weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt, inclusive of the interest rate swap, was 4.86%.
Argentina Currency Exposure and Hyperinflation
Effective July 1, 2018, the financial statements for our Argentina subsidiary were consolidated under the rules
governing the translation of financial information in a highly inflationary economy. Under U.S. GAAP, an economy is
considered highly inflationary if the cumulative inflation rate for a three year period meets or exceeds 100 percent. The Argentina economy exceeded the three year cumulative inflation rate of 100 percent as of June 2018. If a subsidiary is considered to be in a highly inflationary economy, the financial statements of the subsidiary must be remeasured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. dollar) and future exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. It is difficult to determine what continuing impact the use of highly inflationary accounting for Argentina may have on our consolidated financial statements as such impact is dependent upon movements in the applicable exchange rates between the local currency and the U.S. dollar and the amount of monetary assets and liabilities included in our affiliates' balance sheet.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a comprehensive set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Energizer's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation performed, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019, to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's reports.
They have also determined in their evaluation that there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
55

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. We are a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. We review our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 16, 2018, contains a detailed discussion of risk factors that could materially adversely affect our business, our operating results or our financial condition. The Acquired Battery Business and the Acquired Auto Care Business are subject to the same risks as our other business and the additional risk factors below. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, except for the addition of the following:
Risks Related to the Acquired Battery Business and the Acquired Auto Care Business (collectively, the “Acquired Businesses”)
The operations and profitability of the Acquired Auto Care Business is highly dependent on the efficient
operation of its Dayton, Ohio facility.
In 2017, the Acquired Auto Care Business opened a new manufacturing and distribution facility in Dayton, Ohio. Due to deficiencies in planning and execution, including flawed planning assumptions and insufficient devotion of resources, the transition to the Dayton facility led to business disruptions, including shipment disruptions, and working capital management issues that are continuing which have led to an adverse impact on the Acquired Auto Care Business’ recent results. Despite Spectrum's significant expenditures to improve the operations at the Dayton facility, we expect to invest approximately an additional $25 million in such facility to remedy the issues. Spectrum has been unable to and it is unlikely that we will be able to pass all of such costs through to the Acquired Auto Care Business’ customers, and therefore, such expenditures may have an adverse impact on our results. There is no guarantee that such investments will result in future benefits, that such amounts will be sufficient to remedy the issues or that the Dayton facility will achieve its projected normal state operating model on the expected timeline, or at all. Any failure to achieve such projected normal state operating model and improve operating efficiencies, increase service level performance and drive cost improvement will continue to negatively affect operations and profitability of the Acquired Auto Care Business.
The Acquired Businesses are subject to seasonal volatility.
Sales of certain of the Acquired Businesses’ products tend to be seasonal. With respect to the Acquired Auto Care Business in particular, historically, sales typically have peaked during the first six months of the calendar year due to customer seasonal purchasing patterns and the timing of promotional activities. The Acquired Battery Business has similar seasonality and fluctuations in demand as our existing batteries business. As a result of this seasonality, the inventory and working capital needs fluctuate significantly throughout the year. Orders from retailers are often made late in the period preceding the applicable peak season, making forecasting of production schedules and inventory purchases difficult. Further, purchases of our Acquired Auto Care Business products, especially our auto appearance and A/C recharge products, can be significantly impacted by unfavorable weather conditions during the summer period, and as a result we may suffer decreases in net sales if conditions are not favorable for use of our products. If we are unable to accurately forecast and prepare for customer orders, or there is a general downturn in
56

business or economic conditions during these periods, the financial condition and results of operations of the Acquired Businesses could be materially and adversely affected.
A change in governmental regulations regarding the use of refrigerant gas R-134a or its potential future
substitutes could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Acquired Auto Care Business to sell its aftermarket A/C products.
The refrigerant R-134a is a critical component of the Acquired Auto Care Business’ aftermarket A/C products. Older generation refrigerants such as R-12 (Freon) have been regulated for some time in the United States and elsewhere, due to concerns about their potential to contribute to ozone depletion. In recent years, refrigerants such as R-134a, which is an approved substitute for R-12, have also become the subject of regulatory focus due to their potential to contribute to global warming.
The European Union has passed regulations that essentially phased out of R-134a in automotive cooling systems in new vehicles by 2017. Canada has also implemented similar regulations, phasing into effect beginning in 2021. In the United States, while such regulations are not currently in effect, the applicable regulations could be implemented and if so, depending on the scope and timing of the regulations, could have a materially adverse impact on our business.
In addition, regulations may be enacted governing the packaging, use and disposal of the Acquired Auto Care Business’ products containing refrigerants. For example, regulations are currently in effect in California that govern the sale and distribution of products containing R-134a. If the future use of R-134a is phased out or is limited or prohibited in jurisdictions in which we do business, or if substitutes for R-134a become widely used in A/C systems and their use for DIY and retrofit purposes is not approved by the EPA or other regulatory bodies, the future market for Acquired Auto Care Business’ products containing R-134a may be limited, which could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
In addition, any alternatives to R-134a for use in the A/C systems of new vehicles will likely be at a higher cost than that of R-134a and access to supply may be limited. If an alternative becomes widely used, we may be unable to obtain sufficient supply or we may obtain supply at a cost that impacts our net sales and gross margins if we are unable to price products to reflect the increased cost of the alternatives.
We may not be able to successfully close the divestiture of the Divestment Business.
On May 29, 2019, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with VARTA AG to divest the Divestment Business. Pursuant to the terms of the Battery Acquisition agreement, the Company will sell the Divestment Business for an aggregate purchase price of €180 million, subject to purchase price adjustments. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement with Spectrum for the Battery Acquisition, Spectrum will be contributing an additional US $200 million to Energizer in connection with the divestiture of the Divestment Business. The Divestment Business is expected to be sold by the end of calendar year 2019.
Divestitures involve significant risks and uncertainties, including:

• | failure to effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, operations, facilities and employees to buyers;

• | requirements that we retain or indemnify buyers against certain liabilities and obligations;

• | the possibility that we will become subject to third-party claims arising out of such divestiture;

• | challenges in identifying and separating the intellectual property and data to be divested from the intellectual property and data that we wish to retain;

• | inability to reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business;

• | challenges in collecting the proceeds from any divestiture;

• | ability to reduce costs to achieve expected synergies for the rest of our business;

• | disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;

• | difficulties with transition services following the divestiture that result in material impacts to our ongoing operations;

• | loss of key employees who leave the Company as a result of a divestiture; and

• | if customers or partners of the divested business do not receive the same level of service from the new owners, our other businesses may be adversely affected, to the extent that these customers or partners also purchase other products offered by us or otherwise conduct business with our retained business.

The Company and VARTA AG have agreed to enter into related agreements ancillary to the acquisition that will become effective upon the consummation of the acquisition, including a hearing aid battery supply agreement pursuant to which the Company will sell to VARTA AG hearing aid products bearing the Rayovac® trademark for
57

sale by VARTA AG to retail customers in EMEA; an Alkaline Supply Agreement for the sale by VARTA AG to the Company during a transition period of certain alkaline battery products bearing the Varta® trademark; an agreement for the allocation and shared use of certain tools acquired by the Company from Spectrum; and a transition services agreement. VARTA AG will also become a party to the transition services agreement previously entered into between the Company and Spectrum on January 2, 2019 under which VARTA AG will provide to Spectrum that portion of the transition services currently provided by the Business. In addition, as part of the Acquisition, VARTA AG will acquire, indirectly through the acquisition of the Business, the Varta® brand globally and will, immediately following the closing date, enter into a license agreement with the Company under which the Company will receive a royalty-free license to use the Varta® brand in the non-EMEA territories for use in the consumer field (excluding sales to original equipment manufacturers) with the range of consumer product categories currently being sold by the Divestment Business under the Varta® brand consisting of certain consumer batteries, chargers, power banks and lighting products under the current Varta® trademarks and subbrands used today by the Divestment Business, as well as certain future Varta® marks. Subject to material compliance with its terms, the license granted to the Company is perpetual and exclusive within the specified field in all countries in the Non-EMEA territories where the Company currently sells Varta® branded products, and in respect of non-EMEA countries where the Company currently does not sell Varta® branded products, will also be exclusive unless after a specified period of time the Company does not reach certain sales thresholds in those countries, in which case the license will convert to non-exclusive in those territories where such thresholds are not achieved and will remain exclusive in all other territories.
Several factors, including consumer perception, adverse events and publicity about the products marketed under the brand, VARTA AG's failure to maintain the quality of products sold under Varta® brand, VARTA AG's failure to properly prosecute intellectual property rights related to the brand, or supply shortages or other operational issues in countries where we do not operate, could diminish the value of this brand with varying degrees of significance, including in countries where we operate and use it. Additionally, the lack of control over the sales and distribution of the Rayovac-branded hearing aid batteries in such channel could result in reduced customer loyalty and awareness which could have an adverse impact on the value of the Rayovac brand and our future revenues. Further, the transition services agreement could result in an increased risk of potential disruption to our business from the failure by a party to provide services in a timely fashion.
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter in closing the divestiture of the Divestment Business, and such divestiture could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our debt to finance the acquisitions of the Acquired Businesses is significant and could adversely affect our business and our ability to meet our obligations.
At June 30, 2019, our total aggregate outstanding indebtedness was approximately $3.5 billion. Our debt agreements contain negative or financial covenants that would limit our operational flexibility.
This significant amount of debt and other cash needs could have important consequences to us, including:

• | requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments on this debt, thereby limiting the cash we have available to fund future growth opportunities, such as research and development, capital expenditures and acquisitions;

• | restrictive covenants in our debt arrangements which could limit our operations and borrowing;

• | the risk of a future credit ratings downgrade of our debt increasing future debt costs and limiting the future availability of debt financing;

• | increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry, due to the need to use our cash to service our outstanding debt;

• | placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that are not as highly leveraged with debt and that may therefore be more able to invest in their business or use their available cash to pursue other opportunities, including acquisitions; and

• | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds as needed or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

In addition, our actual cash requirements in the future may be greater than expected. Our cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to repay all of our outstanding debt as it becomes due, and we may not be able to borrow money, sell assets or otherwise raise funds on acceptable terms, or at all, to refinance our debt.
58

Despite our high debt level, we may still be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial debt.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future. Although the indentures governing the notes offered hereby, our existing notes and the credit agreement contain or will contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and, under certain circumstances, the amount of debt that could be incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries’ existing debt levels, the related risks that we now face would increase. In addition, none of the indentures governing the notes offered hereby or the existing notes, or the credit agreement will prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute debt under those agreements.
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt, including the notes, and fund our working capital and capital expenditures, and we may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our debt, which may not be successful.
The ability of Energizer to make scheduled payments on their respective indebtedness will depend upon our future operating performance and on our ability to generate cash flow in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings, including borrowings under our 2018 Revolving Facility, will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us and our subsidiaries to pay their debt, including the notes offered hereby, or to fund other liquidity needs.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our and our subsidiaries debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investment and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional equity capital or restructure or refinance our debt, including the notes. We may not be able to affect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, such alternative actions may not allow us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. We anticipate that the indenture governing the notes offered hereby, similar to the credit agreement and existing notes, will restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from any such disposition.
If we or our subsidiaries cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we and/or our subsidiaries, as the case may be in default and, as a result, the holders of the notes and the holders of the existing notes could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, the lenders under the senior credit facilities could declare all outstanding amounts under such facilities due and payable and, with respect to the 2018 Revolving Facility, terminate their commitments to loan money, and, in each case, foreclose against the assets securing the borrowings under the senior credit facilities, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in you losing all or a portion of your investment in the notes.
If our debt or the debt of our subsidiaries is accelerated, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt, including the notes, before maturity. We cannot assure that we will be able to refinance any of our debt, including borrowings under the senior credit facilities and our existing notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to enable us to repay or refinance our debt obligations on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
