Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES | DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. These derivative financial instruments do not subject the Company to undue risk, as gains and losses on these instruments generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions that are being hedged. The Company has agreements with each of its swap, cap and collar counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on the Credit Agreement, the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, cap and collars resulting in an acceleration of settlement under the swaps, cap and collars. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For a derivative that has not been designated as an accounting hedge, the change in the fair value is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative that has been designated as an accounting hedge of an existing asset or liability (a fair value hedge), the change in the fair value of both the derivative and underlying asset or liability is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative designated as an accounting hedge of an anticipated transaction (a cash flow hedge), the change in the fair value is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent the derivative is effective in mitigating the exposure related to the anticipated transaction. The change in the fair value related to the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings. The amount recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. Interest Rate Swap, Cap and Collar Agreements – Interest rate swap, cap and collar agreements are used to manage interest rate risk associated with floating rate borrowings under our Credit Agreement. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the term of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis from the effective date through the maturity date of the respective interest rate swap, cap and collar agreements, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate movements on future interest expense. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we entered into LIBOR to Term SOFR basis interest rate swap and cap transactions to effectively convert our existing swaps and cap from LIBOR-based to Term SOFR-based. The basis swaps and cap offset the LIBOR exposure of the existing swaps and cap and effectively fix the Term SOFR rate for the notional amount. We also entered into forward starting interest rate collar agreements during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The interest rate collar agreements establish a range where we will pay the counterparties if the three-month Term SOFR rate falls below the established floor rate of 2.00%, and the counterparties will pay us if the three-month Term SOFR rate exceeds the ceiling rate of 3.50%. The collar will settle quarterly from the effective date through the maturity date. No payments or receipts will be exchanged on the interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the contracted ceiling or floor rates. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we entered into forward starting interest rate collar agreements. The interest rate collar agreements establish a range where we will pay the counterparties if the three-month Term SOFR rate falls below the established floor rate of 2.50%, and the counterparties will pay us if the three-month Term SOFR rate exceeds the ceiling rate of 4.50%. The collar will settle quarterly from the effective date through the maturity date. No payments or receipts will be exchanged on the interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the contracted ceiling or floor rates. The tables below summarize the key terms of the swaps, cap and collars as of June 29, 2024 (aggregated by effective date). Interest rate swap agreements:
Aggregate Notional Amount (in millions) |  | Effective Date |  | Maturity Date |  | Conversion of Related Variable Rate Debt subject to Term SOFR to Fixed Rate of:
$500 |  | 3/31/2023 |  | 3/31/2025 |  | 6.25% (3.00% plus the 3.25% margin percentage)
$1,500 |  | 3/31/2023 |  | 3/31/2025 |  | 6.35% (3.10% plus the 3.25% margin percentage)
$700 |  | 3/31/2023 |  | 9/30/2025 |  | 4.55% (1.30% plus the 3.25% margin percentage)
Interest rate cap agreement:
Aggregate Notional Amount (in millions) |  | Effective Date |  | Maturity Date |  | Offsets Variable Rate Debt Attributable to Fluctuations Above:
$700 |  | 3/31/2023 |  | 9/30/2025 |  | Three-month Term SOFR rate of 1.25%
Interest rate collar agreements:
Aggregate Notional Amount (in millions) |  | Effective Date |  | Maturity Date |  | Offsets Variable Rate Debt Attributable to Fluctuations Below and Above:
$1,100 |  | 3/31/2025 |  | 9/30/2026 |  | Three-month Term SOFR rate of 2.00% (floor) and 3.50% (cap)
$500 |  | 9/30/2025 |  | 9/30/2026 |  | Three-month Term SOFR rate of 2.00% (floor) and 3.50% (cap)
$1,338 |  | 9/30/2025 |  | 9/30/2027 |  | Three-month Term SOFR rate of 2.50% (floor) and 4.50% (cap)
$1,550 |  | 9/30/2026 |  | 9/30/2027 |  | Three-month Term SOFR rate of 2.50% (floor) and 4.50% (cap)
These derivative instruments qualify as effective cash flow hedges under U.S. GAAP. For the LIBOR to Term SOFR basis interest rate swap and cap agreements referenced above, we applied the practical expedients permissible under ASC 848 to continue hedge accounting for our existing swaps and cap as effective cash flow hedges. For our cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the financial instruments is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ deficit and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects earnings. As the interest rate swap, cap and collar agreements are used to manage interest rate risk, any gains or losses from the derivative instruments that are reclassified into earnings are recognized in interest expense-net in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Cash flows related to the derivative contracts are included in cash flows from operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Certain derivative asset and liability balances are offset where master netting agreements provide for the legal right of setoff. For classification purposes, we record the net fair value of each type of derivative position that is expected to settle in less than one year with each counterparty as a net current asset or liability and each type of long-term position as a net non-current asset or liability. The amounts shown in the table below represent the gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, the amounts offset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net amounts of assets and liabilities presented therein (in millions):
|  | June 29, 2024 |  | September 30, 2023
|  | Asset |  | Liability |  | Asset |  | Liability
Interest rate cap agreement |  | $ | 33 |  |  | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | 53 |  |  | $ | 1 |
Interest rate collar agreements |  | 23 |  |  | — |  |  | 17 |  |  | — |
Interest rate swap agreements |  | 67 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 144 |  |  | 3 |
Net derivatives as classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (1) |  | $ | 123 |  |  | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 214 |  |  | $ | 4 |
(1)Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” for the condensed consolidated balance sheets classification of the Company's interest rate swap, cap and collar agreements. Based on the fair value amounts determined as of June 29, 2024, the estimated net amount of existing (gains) losses and caplet amortization expected to be reclassified into interest expense-net within the next twelve months is approximately $(54) million. Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts – The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, which subjects the Company’s cash flows and earnings to exposure related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures arise primarily from purchases or sales of products and services from third parties. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at specified future dates at specified exchange rates, and are used to offset changes in the fair value of certain assets or liabilities or forecasted cash flows resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. At June 29, 2024, the Company has outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts to sell U.S. dollars with notional amounts of $43 million. The maximum duration of the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge contracts at June 29, 2024 is three months. These notional values consist of contracts for the Canadian dollar and the euro and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective trade dates. Amounts related to foreign currency forward exchange contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' deficit are reclassified into net sales when the hedged transaction settles. On July 25, 2024, the Company entered into additional foreign currency forward exchange contracts to sell U.S. dollars with notional amounts of $120 million with a maximum duration of fourteen months. During the thirty-nine week period ended June 29, 2024, the losses reclassified on settlements of foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges into net sales was approximately $3 million. The losses were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' deficit. As of June 29, 2024, the Company expects to record a net loss of approximately $2 million on foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges to net sales over the next twelve months.
