Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents We classify as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Trade Receivables Trade receivables less allowances are recognized on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at net realizable value, which reflects the net amount expected to be collected from customers. Our allowance for trade receivables consists of two components: a $7.4 million allowance for credit losses and a $13.4 million allowance for customer claims, which are accounted for under the scope of ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition. We estimate expected credit losses on our trade receivables in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and customers’ credit worthiness, as determined by our review of their current credit information. We measure the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We generally pool our trade receivables based on geographic region or country to which the receivables relate. Receivables that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated for collectibility on an individual basis. Our historical credit loss experience provides the basis for our estimation of expected credit losses. We generally use a three-year average of annual loss rates as a starting point for our estimation, and make adjustments to the historical loss rates to account for differences in current conditions impacting the collectibility of our receivable pools. We generally monitor macroeconomic indicators to assess whether adjustments are necessary to reflect current conditions. Our allowances for identified claims are recorded as a reduction to both trade accounts receivable and net sales. Write-off of accounts receivable is done only when all collection efforts have been exhausted without success. Accounts receivable from one customer represents approximately 10% of trade accounts receivable, net of allowance. This customer is current with its payments. Other Accounts Receivable Other accounts receivable less allowances are recognized on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at net realizable value, which reflects the net amount expected to be collected. Other accounts receivable includes value-added taxes (“VAT”) receivables, seasonal advances to growers and suppliers, which are usually short-term in nature, and other financing receivables. VAT receivables are primarily related to purchases by production units and are refunded by the taxing authorities. As of December 29, 2023, we had $43.9 million classified as current in other accounts receivable and $17.7 million, net of allowance of $3.6 million, classified as other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 30, 2022, we had $38.1 million classified as current in other accounts receivable and $16.4 million, net of allowance of $4.7 million, classified as other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Advances to growers and suppliers are generally repaid to us as produce is harvested and sold. We generally require property liens and pledges of the current season’s produce as collateral to support the advances. Refer to Note 7, “Allowance for Credit Losses” for further discussion on advances to growers and suppliers. We measure the allowance for credit losses on advances to suppliers and growers on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. We generally pool our advances based on the country which they relate to, and further disaggregate them based on their current or past-due status. We generally consider an advance to a grower to be past due when the advance is not fully paid within the respective growing season. The allowance for advances to growers and suppliers that do not share similar risk characteristics are determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the expected production for the season and other contributing factors. The advances are typically collateralized by property liens and pledges of the respective season's produce. Occasionally, we agree to a payment plan with certain growers or take steps to recover the advance via established collateral. We may write-off uncollectible financing receivables after our collection efforts are exhausted. Our historical credit loss experience provides the basis for our estimation of expected credit losses. We generally use a three-year average annual loss rate as the starting point for our estimation, and make adjustments to the historical loss rate to account for differences in current or expected future conditions. We generally monitor macroeconomic indicators as well as other factors, including unfavorable weather conditions and crop diseases, which may impact the collectibility of the advances when assessing whether adjustments to the historical loss rate are necessary. Recoveries of other accounts receivable previously reserved in the allowance are credited to operating income. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using the weighted average cost or first-in first-out methods for finished goods, which includes fresh produce and prepared foods and the first-in first-out, actual cost or average cost methods for raw materials and packaging supplies. Raw materials and packaging supplies inventory consists primarily of agricultural supplies, containerboard, packaging materials, spare parts and fuel. Expenditures on pineapple, melon, vegetable and non-tropical fruit growing crops are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are deferred and charged to cost of products sold when the related crop is harvested and sold. The deferred growing costs included in inventories in our Consolidated Balance Sheets consist primarily of land preparation, cultivation, irrigation and fertilization costs. For the most part, expenditures related to banana crops are expensed in the year incurred due to the continuous nature of the crop. Inventories consisted of the following (U.S. dollars in millions):
| December 29, 2023 |  | December 30, 2022
Finished goods | $ | 201.1 |  |  | $ | 205.8 |
Raw materials and packaging supplies | 167.1 |  |  | 233.2 |
Growing crops | 231.7 |  |  | 230.0 |
Total inventories | $ | 599.9 |  |  | $ | 669.0 |
Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities We account for planned major maintenance activities, such as ship dry-dock activities, consistent with ASC guidance related to “Other Assets and Deferred Costs.” We utilize the deferral method of accounting for ship dry-dock activities whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the next scheduled dry-dock activity. Investments in Unconsolidated Companies We apply the equity method of accounting to account for investments over which we exert significant influence but do not hold a controlling financial interest, or for investments in limited partnerships where our ownership interest is more than 3%-5%. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. We present the carrying value of our equity method investments within investments in and advances to unconsolidated companies on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss is presented under other expense, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We review our investments for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the decline in fair value of such assets below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. See Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Companies” for further information. Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Long-Lived Assets Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 10 to 40 years for buildings, five to 20 years for maritime and other equipment, including ships and containers, three to 20 years for machinery and equipment, three to seven years for furniture, fixtures and office equipment, three to seven years for computer software, and five to 10 years for automotive equipment including automobiles, tractors, trailers and trucks. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease, or the estimated useful life of the related asset, whichever is shorter. See Note 5, “Property, Plant and Equipment, Net” for further information. When assets are retired or disposed of, the costs and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the respective accounts and any related gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant expenditures, which extend the useful lives of assets, are capitalized. Interest is capitalized as part of the cost of construction. Our long-lived assets other than property, plant and equipment consists of a definite-lived intangible asset. Intangible asset determined to have finite life is amortized over the estimated useful life to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis. Our definite-lived intangible asset has a remaining amortization period of 17 years. Amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets totaled $4.9 million for 2023, $7.8 million for 2022 and $7.6 million for 2021, and is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Refer to Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” for further information. We review long-lived assets (or asset groups) with identifiable cash flows for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We consider factors such as historic and forecasted operating results, trends and future prospects, current market value, and other economic and regulatory factors in performing these analyses. In the event that an asset is not recoverable, and the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the asset’s fair value, we measure and record an impairment loss for the excess. The fair value of an asset is measured by either determining the expected future discounted cash flow of the asset or by independent appraisal. For long-lived assets held for sale, we record impairment losses when the carrying amount is greater than the fair value less the cost to sell. We discontinue depreciation of long-lived assets when these assets are classified as held for sale and include these assets as assets held for sale on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We incurred charges related to impairment of long-lived assets of $119.7 million in 2023, $3.5 million in 2022, and $3.8 million in 2021. Such charges are included in asset impairment and other charges (credits), net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 29, 2023, December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and are described further in Note 3, “Asset Impairment and Other Charges (Credits), Net” and Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, net of $37.9 million during 2023 primarily related to gains on the sale of two distribution centers and related assets in Saudi Arabia, sale of an idle production facility in North America, and sale of our plastics business subsidiary in South America. These transactions were accounted for using the guidance in ASC 610. Assets Held for Sale Assets are classified as held for sale when (1) management approves and commits to a plan to sell the asset, (2) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary, (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated, (4) the sale of the asset is probable and is expected to be completed within one year, (5) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (6) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Assets held for sale are stated at the lower of net book value or estimated fair value less cost to sell. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired entity over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. We assess goodwill at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of the first day of our fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances suggest that goodwill may not be recoverable. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. For those reporting units where events or changes in circumstances indicate that potential impairment indicators exist, we perform a quantitative assessment to determine whether the carrying amount of goodwill can be recovered. When performing the annual goodwill impairment test, we may start with an optional qualitative assessment as allowed for under the accounting guidance. As part of the qualitative assessment, we evaluate all events and circumstances, including both positive and negative events, in their totality, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we bypass the qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment indicates that a quantitative analysis should be performed, we evaluate goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including the associated goodwill. We generally estimate a reporting unit’s fair value using a discounted cash flow approach which is dependent on several significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, cost of sales, expenses and the weighted-average cost of capital for each reporting unit. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. The impairment of goodwill is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Any adverse changes in the significant estimates and assumptions used in our goodwill impairment test could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and could have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We incurred charges related to impairment of goodwill of $21.6 million in 2023 as described further in Note 3, “Asset Impairment and Other Charges (Credits), Net" and Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. No impairment charges related to goodwill were incurred during 2022 and 2021 An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment at least annually, or sooner if indications of possible impairment are identified. When performing the annual impairment test, we first may start with an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is not more likely than not that our indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. As part of a qualitative assessment, we evaluate relevant events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. If we bypass the qualitative assessment, or if the qualitative assessment indicates that a quantitative analysis should be performed, we evaluate our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. We generally estimate the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets using a royalty savings method. See Note 6, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for further discussion. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We record revenue based on a five-step model in accordance with the accounting guidance. For our customer contracts, we identify the performance obligations (products or services), determine the transaction price, allocate the contract transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize the revenue when the performance obligation is fulfilled, which is when the product is shipped to or received by the customer, depending on the specific terms of the arrangement. Our revenues are recorded at a point in time. Product sales are recorded net of variable consideration, such as provisions for returns, discounts and allowances. Such provisions are calculated using historical averages adjusted for any expected changes due to current business conditions. Consideration given to customers for cooperative advertising is recognized as a reduction of revenue except to the extent that there is a distinct good or service, in which case the expense is classified as selling, general, and administrative expense. Provisions for customer volume rebates are based on achieving a certain level of purchases and other performance criteria that are established on a program by program basis. These rebates are estimated based on the expected amount to be provided to the customers and are recognized as a reduction of revenue. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if the contract period is for one year or less. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Otherwise, incremental contract costs are recognized as an asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized over time as promised goods and services are transferred to a customer. Our contracts are generally less than one year and incremental costs of obtaining a contract are not material. We account for shipping and handling costs as costs to fulfill a contract and not as performance obligations to our customers. We also exclude taxes collected from our customers, assessed by government authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, from our determination of the transaction price. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to a customer and the customer payment is one year or less. Cost of Products Sold Cost of products sold is primarily made up of two elements: product costs and logistics costs. Product costs - primarily composed of cultivation (the cost of growing crops), harvesting, packaging, labor, depreciation and farm administration. Product cost for produce obtained from independent growers is composed of procurement and packaging costs. Logistics costs - include land and sea transportation and expenses related to port facilities and distribution centers. Sea transportation cost is the most significant component of logistics costs and is comprised of: •Ship operating expenses - include operations, maintenance, depreciation, insurance, fuel, and port charges. •Chartered ship costs - include the cost of chartering the ships, fuel and port charges. •Container equipment-related costs - include leasing expense and in the case of owned equipment, also depreciation expense. •Third-party containerized shipping costs - include the cost of using third-party shipping in our logistics operations. Advertising and Promotional Cost s We expense advertising and promotional costs as incurred. Advertising and promotional costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $10.5 million for 2023, $9.3 million for 2022 and $13.6 million for 2021. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when it is deemed more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We account for income tax uncertainties consistent with the ASC guidance included in “Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. See Note 9, “Income Taxes.” Contingencies Estimated losses from contingencies are recognized if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are not reflected in the financial statements until realized. We use judgment in assessing whether a loss contingency is probable and estimable. Actual results may differ from these estimates. See Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies.” Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions For our operations in countries where the functional currency is other than the U.S. dollar, balance sheet amounts are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are translated monthly using the average exchange rate for the respective month. The gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year-to-year and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions of long-term investment nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as currency translation adjustments. For our operations where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, non-monetary balance sheet amounts are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Other balance sheet amounts are remeasured at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement accounts, excluding those items of income and expenses that relate to non-monetary assets and liabilities, are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the month. These remeasurement adjustments are included in the determination of net income and are included in other expense, net. Other expense, net, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations includes a net foreign exchange loss of $10.4 million for 2023, $8.4 million for 2022, and $6.0 million for 2021. These amounts include the effect of foreign currency remeasurement and realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses. Other Expense, Net In addition to foreign currency gains and losses described above, other expense, net, also includes other non-operating income and expense items. Leases We lease property, plant and equipment for use in our operations including agricultural land, office facilities and refrigerated containers. We account for leases under the scope of ASC 842 - Leases which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and we have made an accounting policy election to account for these as a single lease component. We evaluate our leases at inception or at any subsequent modification and classify them as either finance or operating leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we recognize a related asset (“right-of-use asset”) and obligation (“lease liability”) on the lease commencement date, calculated as the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Certain leases include one or more options to renew or options to terminate, which are generally at our discretion. Any option or renewal periods that we determine are reasonably certain of being exercised are included in the lease term, and are used in calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities. Many of our leases also include predetermined fixed escalation clauses. We recognize rental expense for operating leases that contain predetermined fixed escalation clauses on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. For finance leases, we recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, we recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See Note 10, “Leases” for more information. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is measured as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In developing its fair value estimates, we use the following hierarchy: •Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. •Level 2 - Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. •Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows using our own estimates and assumptions or those expected to be used by market participants. We measure the fair value of financial instruments, such as derivatives, on an ongoing basis. We measure fair value for non-financial assets when a valuation is necessary, such as for impairment of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets when indicators of impairment exist. See Note 18, “Fair Value Measurements” for more information. Share-Based Compensation Compensation expense for all share-based awards expected to vest is measured at fair value on the date of grant and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related service period, which is generally the vesting period of each award. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. Our shared-based awards consist of performance stock units and restricted stock units, and are granted to employees and members of our Board of Directors which meet the definition of employees under the accounting guidance. The fair value of our share-based awards is determined based on our stock price on the date of grant. See Note 15, “Share-Based Compensation” for more information. Derivative Financial Instruments We recognize the value of derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated as a hedge and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. The accounting also depends on the type of hedging relationship, whether a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge, or hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. We use derivative financial instruments primarily to reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and variable interest rates. Upon entry into a derivative instrument, we formally designate and document the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value in prepaid expenses and other current assets, other non-current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses or other non-current liabilities, depending on whether the amount is an asset or liability and is of a short-term or long-term nature. We designate our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. A cash flow hedge requires that the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument be recognized in other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. We also classify the cash flows from our cash flow hedges in the same category as the items being hedged on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the fact that our cash flow hedges do not contain an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception. In the event that hedge accounting is discontinued, any changes in fair value of the associated derivatives since the date of dedesignation are recognized in other expense, net. Cash flows subsequent to the date of dedesignation are classified within investing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 17, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for more information. Share Repurchases When stock is retired or purchased for constructive retirement, the purchase price is initially recorded as a reduction to the par value of the shares repurchased, with any excess purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. Retirement and Other Employee Benefits We sponsor a number of defined benefit pension plans and post-retirement plans. The most significant of these plans cover employees in the United States, United Kingdom, Costa Rica and Guatemala. We recognize the funded status of our defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in the funded status recognized primarily through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the year in which the changes occur. Actuarially-determined liabilities related to pension and post-retirement benefits are recorded based on estimates and assumptions. Factors used in developing estimates of these liabilities include assumptions related to discount rates, rates of return on investments, benefit payment patterns and other factors, and are periodically updated. We provide disclosures about our plan assets, including investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets consistent with the fair value hierarchy framework. See Note 14, “Retirement and Other Employee Benefits” for more information. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest As part of the Mann Packing acquisition in 2018, we acquired a put option exercisable by the 25% shareholder of one of the acquired subsidiaries. The put option allows the noncontrolling shareholder to sell its 25% noncontrolling interest to us for a multiple of the subsidiary's adjusted earnings. The noncontrolling shareholder can exercise this put option on or after April 1, 2023. Following a five year window expiring on April 1, 2028, the put option value will be negotiated annually and the inputs are subject to change. As the put option is outside of our control, the estimated redemption value of the 25% noncontrolling interest is presented as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. At each reporting period, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is recognized at the higher of (1) the initial carrying amount adjusted for accumulated earnings and distributions or (2) the contractually-defined redemption value as of the balance sheet date. In June 2023, the noncontrolling shareholder exercised its put option right and the Company closed the purchase of the remaining 25% of this subsidiary. See Note 22, "Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Acquisition" for more information. New Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and subsequent amendments to the guidance, ASU 2021-01 in January 2021 and ASU 2022-06 in December 2022. The amendments in these updates provide optional guidance to companies to ease the potential burden associated with reference rate reform. Specifically, the guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to apply generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As of December 30, 2022, we had LIBOR-based borrowings and interest rate swaps that referenced LIBOR. Effective January 3, 2023, we amended our agreements and transitioned to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR) for these instruments. W
Investment Holdings | We apply the equity method of accounting to account for investments over which we exert significant influence but do not hold a controlling financial interest, or for investments in limited partnerships where our ownership interest is more than 3%-5%. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. We present the carrying value of our equity method investments within investments in and advances to unconsolidated companies on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our proportionate share of the investee's net income or loss is presented under other expense, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We review our investments for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the decline in fair value of such assets below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. See Note 4, “Investments in Unconsolidated Companies” for further information.
