RELATED PARTIES RELATED PARTIES
Effective the close of the GBL divestiture on January 2, 2019, and GAC divestiture on January 28, 2019, the Company and Energizer entered into a series of TSAs and reverse TSAs that support various shared administrative functions including finance, sales and marketing, information technology, human resources, real estate and supply chain, customer service and procurement; to support both the divested business operations and the continuing operations of the Company, within the various regions in which they operate. Charges associated with TSAs and reverse TSAs are recognized as bundled service costs under a fixed fee structure by the respective service or function and geographic location and one-time pass-through charges, including warehousing, freight, among others, to and from Energizer that settle on a net basis between the two parties. Charges to Energizer for TSA services are recognized as a reduction of the respective operating costs incurred by the Company and recognized as a component of operating expense or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions being supported by the Company. Charges from Energizer for reverse TSA services are recognized as operating expenses or cost of goods sold depending upon the functions supported by Energizer. Effective January 2, 2020, Energizer closed its divestiture of the European based Varta® consumer battery business to Varta AG, which also transferred TSAs and reverse TSAs associated with the divested entities to be assumed by Varta AG. As a result, a portion of the TSA and reverse TSA charges with Energizer were transferred to Varta AG. The TSAs and reverse TSAs have an overall expected time period of 12 months following the close of the transaction with some variability in expiration dependent upon the completed transition of the respective service or function and its geographic location and provide up to 12 additional months for a total duration of up to 24 months. The Company had exited all outstanding TSAs with Energizer and Varta by January 2021. The following table summarizes the TSA income and expenses during the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

Additionally, the Company, Energizer, and Varta AG receive cash and/or make payments on behalf of the respective counterparty’s operations as part of the shared operating activity, resulting in cash flow being commingled with the operating cash flow of the Company. The Company recognizes a net payable or receivable with Energizer and Varta AG for any outstanding TSA charges and net working capital attributable to the commingled operations and cash flow. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net payable of $2.9 million with Energizer included in Other Current Liabilities and net receivable of $5.4 million included in Other Receivables on the Company’s Statement of Financial Position, respectively.

The Company’s H&G segment continued to manufacture certain GAC related products at its facilities and sell the products to Energizer as a third-party supplier on an ongoing basis, at inventory cost plus contracted markup, as agreed upon in the supply agreement. The supply agreement had a contracted term of 24 months and expired in January 2021 with no renewal. Material and inventory on hand to support the supply agreement was recognized as inventory of the Company. During the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $6.0 million, $18.9 million, and $12.5 million, respectively, of revenue attributable to the Energizer supply agreement as a component of H&G revenue after completion of the GAC divestiture.
