⁽¹⁾Includes long-term and current debt and the related projected interest costs. Refer to Note 7 – Leases for information regarding future minimum lease payments relating to the Company’s finance leases. Interest costs on long-term and current debt in fiscal 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and thereafter are projected to be $177 million, $165 million, $162 million, $159 million, $154 million and $2,016 million, respectively. Projected interest costs on variable rate instruments were calculated using market rates at June 30, 2020.

⁽²⁾Unconditional purchase obligations primarily include: royalty payments pursuant to license agreements, inventory commitments, third-party distribution commitments and advertising commitments. Future royalty and advertising commitments were estimated based on planned future sales for the term that was in effect at June 30, 2020, without consideration for potential renewal periods.

⁽³⁾Refer to Note 9 – Income Taxes for information regarding unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2020, the noncurrent portion of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, including related accrued interest and penalties was $76 million. At this time, the settlement period for the noncurrent portion of the unrecognized tax benefits, including related accrued interest and penalties, cannot be determined and therefore was not included.

⁽⁴⁾The Transition Tax may be paid over an eight-year period and this amount represents the remaining liability as of June 30, 2020.

⁽⁵⁾Refer to Note 7 – Leases for information regarding future minimum lease payments relating to the Company’s operating leases.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation and other legal proceedings incidental to its business, including employment, intellectual property, real estate, environmental, regulatory, advertising, trade relations, tax, privacy, and product liability matters (including asbestos-related claims). Management believes that the outcome of current litigation and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current litigation and other legal proceedings could change in light of the discovery of facts with respect to legal actions or other proceedings pending against the Company not presently known to the Company or determinations by judges, juries or other finders of fact which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or proceedings. Reasonably possible losses in addition to the amounts accrued for such litigation and legal proceedings are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies

As previously disclosed, during the fiscal 2018 third quarter, the Company learned that some of its testing related to certain product advertising claims did not meet the Company’s standards, necessitating further validation. This review is substantially completed, and modifications are being made to certain advertising claims. This was not a product safety issue and did not relate to the quality of the ingredients or the manufacturing of the Company’s products. The Company has determined that this matter is not material to the Company, and no accrual has been recorded.
