Organization and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization We are a global leader in food safety and security, facility hygiene and product protection. We serve an array of end markets including food and beverage processing, food service, retail, healthcare and industrial, and commercial and consumer applications. Our focus is on achieving quality sales growth through leveraging our geographic footprint, technological know-how and leading market positions to bring measurable, sustainable value to our customers and investors. We conduct substantially all of our business through three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cryovac, Inc., Sealed Air Corporation (US) and Diversey, Inc. Throughout this report, when we refer to “Sealed Air,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we are referring to Sealed Air Corporation and all of our subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise. Basis of Presentation Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016 and our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 have been made. The results set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and approximate due to rounding. Some prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the SEC. As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2016 (“2015 Form 10-K”) and with the information contained in other publicly-available filings with the SEC. Reclassifications and Revisions For the six months ended June 30, 2015, certain amounts related to the settlement of a net investment hedge and foreign currency gains and losses were misclassified on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The reclassification of these items in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted in a decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $6.3 million, an increase to cash provided by investing activities of $2.9 million, and an increase of $3.6 million due to the effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, certain amounts related to compensating balance arrangements and external payment terms were misclassified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The revision of these items resulted in a decrease in cash and an increase in other current assets of $50.7 million related to cash deposits held in compensating balance arrangements for certain short-term borrowing agreements and a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in short-term borrowings of $13.9 million related to extended payment terms on a vendor agreement on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The revision of these items on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows resulted in a decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $1.0 million and a decrease to cash provided by financing activities of $13.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, foreign currency translation adjustments were misclassified on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in deferred pension items and unrealized losses on cash flow hedge derivative instruments. The reclassification of these items in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 resulted in a decrease in recognition of deferred pension items of $8.2 million, an increase in unrealized losses on derivative instruments for cash flow hedge of $1.1 million, and an increase in the foreign currency translation adjustments of $7.1 million. These classification adjustments did not result in a change to total comprehensive income. Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation Venezuela Economic and political events in Venezuela have continued to expose us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk. Accordingly, Venezuela has been designated a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP, and the U.S. dollar replaced the bolivar fuerte as the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Venezuela. All bolivar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate available to us, and any changes in the exchange rate are reflected in foreign currency exchange loss related to our Venezuelan subsidiaries on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 2015 Activity In February 2015, the Venezuelan government announced a new foreign exchange platform called the Marginal Currency System or SIMADI. The SIMADI basically replaced the SICAD 2 rate. When this market opened on February 12, 2015 the rate was 170.0390 and then at June 30, 2015 it was 197.2980. The SICAD 1 and the SICAD 2 were merged into the SICAD. The opening rate was 12 for the SICAD and at June 30, 2015 it was 12.80. In addition, the National Center of Foreign Commerce, or CENCOEX, will continue and provide preferential treatment for certain import operations such as food and medicines. Since these changes were announced by the Venezuelan government, the new SIMADI market has had very little activity and companies have not been able to access this market to obtain U.S. dollars. In addition, the SICAD rate which is established via auctions has had no auctions held since October 2014. However, in June 2015 an auction was held for the automotive parts and school supplies industries. Therefore, in 2015 there were three legal mechanisms to exchange Bolivars for US dollars:
| · | CENCOEX at the official rate of 6.3;
| · | SICAD auction process at the awarded exchange rate (opening rate at 12 and at June 30, 2015 it was 12.80); and
| · | SIMADI at the negotiated rate (rate of 197.2980 at June 30, 2015).
At June 30, 2015, we evaluated which legal mechanisms were available to our Venezuelan subsidiaries to access U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2015, we concluded that we will use the June 30, 2015 SIMADI rate of 197.2980 to remeasure Bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities since it is our only legally available option and our intent on a go-forward basis is to utilize this market to settle any future transactions based on the current facts and circumstances. For any U.S. dollar denominated monetary asset or liability, such amounts do not get remeasured at month-end since it is already an asset or liability denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of this evaluation, the Company reported a remeasurement net loss of $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $29.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the remainder of 2015, we continued to evaluate which legal mechanisms were available to our Venezuelan subsidiaries to access U.S. dollars. Starting June 30, 2015 through to December 31, 2015, we concluded that we would use the SIMADI rate to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities since it was our only legally available option and at that time, our intent on a go-forward basis to utilize this market to settle any future transactions based on the then current facts and circumstances. The SIMADI rate as of December 31, 2015 was 198.6986. During 2015, the Company did not receive U.S. dollars via the CENCOEX official rate of 6.3. We expected that we would only have limited access to the CENCOEX market to settle certain past transactions. However, if the option did become available to us to use the CENCOEX in the future, the Company would consider this further. In addition, there were no SICAD auctions for the food or chemical industries as of December 31, 2015. During 2015, we were only able to access the SIMADI market and only received minimal amounts of U.S. dollars. 2016 Activity On February 17, 2016, the Venezuelan government made further changes to the exchange rates including a further devaluation and on March 9, 2016 published in Exchange Agreement No. 35 further rules governing foreign exchange transactions which were effective March 10, 2016. This includes the following key changes:
| · | The preferential rate for essential goods and services was changed from 6.3 to 10 bolivars per U.S. dollars and is no longer called CENCOEX but is now DIPRO;
| · | The SICAD rate was eliminated which reduced the number of legal mechanisms from three down to only two; and
| · | Eliminated the SIMADI rate which was replaced by the DICOM rate which will be allowed to float freely beginning at a rate of approximately 203 bolivars to U.S. dollar.
At June 30, 2016, we evaluated which legal mechanisms were available to our Venezuelan subsidiaries to access U.S. dollars. As noted above, the SIMADI rate was replaced with the DICOM rate. Consistent with our evaluation completed in the first quarter of 2016, we concluded that we will continue to use the DICOM rate to remeasure our bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities since it is our only legally available option and our intent on a go-forward basis to utilize this market if needed, to settle any future transactions based on the current facts and circumstances. The DICOM rate as of June 30, 2016 was 628.3434. We will continue to evaluate each reporting period the appropriate exchange rate to remeasure our financial statements based on the facts and circumstances as applicable. During the first six months of 2016, we were only able to access the SIMADI market (during the period the market was available) and only received minimal amounts of U.S. dollars during the first three months of 2016. We did not receive any U.S. dollars via the CENCOEX (at an official rate of 6.3) or the DIPRO (at an official rate of 10.0). We expect that we will only have limited access to the DIPRO market to settle certain past transactions. However, if the option becomes available to us to use the DIPRO in the future, the Company will consider this further, as needed. For any U.S. dollar denominated monetary asset or liability, such amounts do not get remeasured at month-end since it is already an asset or liability denominated in U.S. dollars. As a result of this evaluation, the Company reported a remeasurement loss of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Due to the ongoing challenging economic situation in Venezuela, the Company approved a program in the second quarter of 2016 to cease operations in the country. Foreign exchange control regulations have affected our Venezuelan subsidiaries ability to obtain inventory and maintain normal production. This resulted in total costs of $52.1 million being incurred which included the following (i) a voluntary reduction in headcount including severance and termination benefits for employees of approximately $0.3 million, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense related to fixed assets and intangibles of approximately $4.8 million, (iii) inventory reserves of $1.0 million and (iv) the reclassification of approximately $46.0 million of cumulative translation adjustment into Net income as the Company’s decision to cease operations is similar to a substantially complete liquidation.
