Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Accounting Policies | ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of consolidated operations for the three-month period ended February 28, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Historically, our net sales, net income and cash flow from operations have been lower in the first half of the fiscal year and higher in the second half. The historical increase in net sales, net income and cash flow from operations in the second half of the year has largely been due to the consumer business cycle in the U.S., where customers typically purchase more products in the fourth quarter due to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2022. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In 2022, we adopted the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 which provides optional expedients for a limited time for accounting for transactions affected by the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) being discontinued. Arrangements that were entered into in 2022, including our 364-day revolving credit facility expiring in July 2023, fixed to variable interest rate swaps expiring in April 2030, and cross-currency interest rate swaps expiring in April 2030, do not use LIBOR as a reference rate. During the first quarter of 2023 we amended our interest rate swaps expiring in November 2025 and August 2027, and the cross currency and interest rate swaps expiring in August 2027 to no longer use LIBOR. Also, in March 2023 we amended our five-year revolving credit facility expiring in July 2026 to no longer use LIBOR. Our adoption of this standard commenced during 2022, in conjunction with the first phase-out of a LIBOR reference rate. There was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements, nor do we expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements during the LIBOR transition period. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — Pending Adoption In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04: Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 450-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations that requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a roll forward of those obligations. The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The new standard’s requirements to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding are effective for all interim and annual periods of our fiscal year ending November 30, 2024. The new standard’s requirement to disclose a roll forward of obligations outstanding will be effective for our fiscal year ending November 30, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
