Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES | NOTE C - INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATES The Company accounts for its majority-owned operations under the consolidation method. Investments in which the Company owns a minority interest and for which there are no other indicators of control are accounted for under the equity method. These investments, including balances due to or from affiliates, are reflected in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Financial Position as Investments in Affiliates. Financial results for certain entities are reported on a 30- to 90-day lag. The Company reviewed the investments in affiliates and determined that no other-than-temporary impairment existed as of July 30, 2023. On December 15, 2022, the Company purchased a 29% common stock interest in PT Garudafood Putra Putri Jaya Tbk (Garudafood), a food and beverage company in Indonesia, from various minority shareholders. On April 12, 2023, the Company purchased additional shares increasing the ownership interest to 30%. This investment expands the Company's presence in Southeast Asia and supports the global execution of the snacking and entertaining strategic priority. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Garudafood; therefore, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Company obtained the Garudafood interest for a purchase price of $425.8 million, including associated transaction costs. The transaction was funded using the Company's cash on hand. Based on a third-party valuation, the Company's basis difference between the fair value of the investment and proportionate share of the carrying value of Garudafood's net assets is $324.8 million. The basis difference related to inventory, property, plant and equipment, and certain intangible assets is being amortized through Equity in Earnings of Affiliates over the associated useful lives. As of July 30, 2023, the remaining basis difference was $335.3 million, which includes the impact of foreign currency translation. Based on quoted market prices, the fair value of the common stock held in Garudafood was $348.2 million as of July 28, 2023. Equity in Earnings of Affiliates consists of:
