Based on management's commitment to sell these businesses, the assets and liabilities related to MAS and CSS were classified as held for sale on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022.
The MAS and CSS divestitures represent a single plan to exit the Security segment and are considered a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The operating results of MAS and CSS have been reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to this presentation in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 205, Presentation of Financial Statements ("ASC 205"), to allow for meaningful comparison of continuing operations.
In June 2022, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement for the sale of its Oil & Gas business as part of the Company's strategic commitment to simplify and streamline its portfolio to focus on the core Tools & Outdoor and Industrial businesses. Based on management's commitment to sell this business, the assets and liabilities related to Oil & Gas were classified as held for sale on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 2, 2022. There were no assets or liabilities held for sale relating to the Oil & Gas business as of January 1, 2022. This pending divestiture does not qualify for discontinued operations and therefore, its results are included in the Company's continuing operations for all periods presented.
Refer to Note F, Acquisitions and Investments, and Note T, Divestitures, for further discussion of these transactions.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. While management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation.
B. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED — In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new standard improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency. The new standard requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and
8
contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The standard should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company elected to early adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings per share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new standard clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The standard should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2022 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new standard reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity. The standard also amends and makes targeted improvements to the related earnings per share guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2022, using the modified retrospective method, which has no impact to prior periods. In accordance with the standard, the Company increased weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share for both the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 by 4.1 million shares, as required by the use of the if-converted method for convertible instruments that may be settled in cash or shares. See Note C, Earnings Per Share for further discussion.
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. The new standard provides optional expedients and exceptions that companies can apply during a limited time period to account for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Companies may elect to apply these optional expedients and exceptions beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), to clarify the scope of Topic 848 and provide explicit guidance to help companies applying optional expedients and exceptions. This ASU is effective immediately for all entities that have applied optional expedients and exceptions. The Company applied certain optional expedients and exceptions as needed to comply with regulatory and tax authorities for the transition to alternative reference rates. The Company's adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED — In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The new standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security should not be considered in measuring the fair value of the security. The new standard also requires certain disclosures related to equity securities with contractual sale restrictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The standard should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The new standard eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors that have adopted ASC 326 and requires public entities to present gross write-offs by year of origination in their vintage disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard should be applied prospectively, and it allows for a modified retrospective transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. The new standard expands and clarifies the use of the portfolio layer method for fair value hedges of interest rate risk. The new standard allows non-prepayable financial assets to also be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new guidance on hedging multiple layers in a closed portfolio should be applied prospectively and the guidance on the accounting for fair value basis adjustments should
9
be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2019, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750.0 million ("2019 Equity Units"). Each unit has a stated amount of $100 and initially consists of a three-year forward stock purchase contract (“2022 Purchase Contracts”) for the purchase of a variable number of shares of common stock, on November 15, 2022, for a price of $100, and a 10% beneficial ownership interest in one share of 0% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”). The shares associated with the
10
forward stock purchase contracts component of the 2019 Equity Units have been reflected in diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method.
On and after November 15, 2022, the Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at the option of the holder. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. The conversion rate was initially 5.2263 shares of common stock per one share of Series D Preferred Stock, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $191.34 per share of common stock. As of July 2, 2022, due to customary anti-dilution provisions, the conversion rate was 5.2409, equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $190.81 per share of common stock. Upon the adoption of ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the common shares that would be required to settle the applicable conversion value of the Series D Preferred Stock were included in the denominator of diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method. In accordance with the standard, the Company increased weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share for both the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 by 4.1 million shares.
In May 2017, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750.0 million (“2017 Equity Units”). Each unit had a stated amount of $100 and initially consisted of a three-year forward stock purchase contract (“2020 Purchase Contracts”) for the purchase of a variable number of shares of common stock, on May 15, 2020, for a price of $100, and a 10% beneficial ownership interest in one share of 0% Series C Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”).
In May 2020, the Company successfully remarketed the Series C Preferred Stock (the “Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock”) resulting in cash proceeds of $750.0 million. Upon completion of the remarketing, the holders of the 2017 Equity Units received 5,463,750 common shares and the Company issued 750,000 shares of Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Holders of the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to receive cumulative dividends, if declared by the Board of Directors, at an initial fixed rate equal to 5.0% per annum of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $50.00 per annum per share). Beginning on May 15, 2020, the holders had the option to convert the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock into common stock. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. In connection with the remarketing described above, the conversion rate was reset to 6.7352 shares of the Company's common stock per one share of Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock, which was equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $148.47 per share of common stock.
In April 2021, the Company informed holders that it would redeem all outstanding shares of the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock on June 3, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”) at $1,002.50 per share in cash (the “Redemption Price”) which was equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of a share of Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. If a holder elected to convert its shares of Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock prior to the Redemption Date, the Company elected a combination settlement with a specified cash amount of $1,000 per share. In June 2021, the Company redeemed the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock and settled all conversions, paying $750 million in cash and issuing 1,469,055 common shares. The conversion rate used was 6.7548 (equivalent to a conversion price set at $148.04 per common share). Prior to the Redemption Date, the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock was excluded from the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation on the basis that the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock would be settled in cash except to the extent that the conversion value exceeded its liquidation preference. Therefore, before any redemption or conversion, the common shares that would be required to settle the applicable conversion value in excess of the liquidation preference were included in the denominator of diluted earnings per share in periods in which they were dilutive.

Trade receivables are dispersed among a large number of retailers, distributors and industrial accounts in many countries. Adequate reserves have been established to cover anticipated credit losses.
The changes in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 are as follows:
| Second Quarter | Year-to-Date | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Millions of Dollars) | 2022 | 2021 | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||

The Company's payment terms are generally consistent with the industries in which their businesses operate and typically range from 30-90 days globally. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between transfer of the product and receipt of payment is less than one year. Any significant financing components for contracts greater than one year are included in revenue over time.
At July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Industrial segment operating lease receivable was $0.7 million and $21.2 million, respectively, from leasing equipment to customers. The decrease is primarily due to reclassifying $22.9 million to held for sale as of July 2, 2022, related to the Oil & Gas business. Net sales from operating lease revenue were $16.0 million and $28.7 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. Net sales from operating lease revenue were $11.0 million and $30.6 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively.
The Company has an accounts receivable sale program. According to the terms, the Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivables at fair value to a wholly owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary (“BRS"). The BRS, in turn, can sell such receivables to a third-party financial institution (“Purchaser”) for cash. The Purchaser’s maximum cash investment in the receivables at any time is $110.0 million. The purpose of the program is to provide liquidity to the Company. These transfers qualify as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and receivables are derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet when the BRS sells those receivables to the Purchaser. The Company has no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities. At July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company did not record a servicing asset or liability related to its retained responsibility based on its assessment of the servicing fee, market values for similar transactions and its cost of servicing the receivables sold.
At July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, net receivables of approximately $110.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, were derecognized. Proceeds from transfers of receivables to the Purchaser totaled $132.3 million and $214.6 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively, and payments to the Purchaser totaled $108.7 million and $204.6 million, respectively. Proceeds from transfers of receivables to the Purchaser totaled $119.3 million and $182.7 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, and payments to the Purchaser totaled $83.6 million and $169.5 million, respectively. The program resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.9 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively, which included service fees of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The program resulted in a pre-tax
12
loss of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, which included service fees of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. All cash flows under the program are reported as a component of changes in accounts receivable within operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows since all the cash from the Purchaser is received upon the initial sale of the receivable.
As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company's deferred revenue totaled $105.2 million and $117.1 million, respectively, of which $26.1 million and $35.0 million, respectively, was classified as current. As of July 2, 2022, deferred revenue of $10.5 million related to the Oil & Gas business was reclassified as held for sale, all of which was current. Revenue recognized for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 that was previously deferred as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021 totaled $11.4 million and $12.1 million, respectively.

F. ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS
2021 ACQUISITIONS
MTD
On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 80 percent ownership stake in MTD, a privately held global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment, for $1.5 billion, net of cash acquired. The Company previously acquired a 20 percent interest in MTD in January 2019 for $234 million. The Company’s pre-existing 20 percent equity investment in MTD was remeasured at fair value of $295.1 million as of the transaction date based on the purchase price for the remaining 80 percent ownership, which was calculated using an EBITDA-based formula. As a result, the Company recorded a $68.0 million gain on investment during the fourth quarter of 2021.
MTD designs, manufactures and distributes lawn tractors, zero turn ride on mowers, walk behind mowers, snow blowers, residential robotic mowers, handheld outdoor power equipment and garden tools for both residential and professional consumers under well-known brands like Cub Cadet® and Troy-Bilt®. This combination will create a global leader in the outdoor category, with strong brands and growth opportunities. The results of MTD subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Company's Tools & Outdoor segment.
The MTD acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the estimated acquisition date value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
13
The weighted-average useful life assigned to the definite-lived intangible assets is 15 years.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected cost synergies of the combined business and assembled workforce. It is estimated that $0.6 million of goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition accounting for MTD is preliminary in certain respects. During the measurement period, the Company expects to record adjustments relating to the finalization of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, working capital accounts, and opening balance sheet contingencies, amongst others.
A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company’s judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results from operations.
Excel
On November 12, 2021, the Company acquired Excel Industries ("Excel") for $373.7 million, net of cash acquired. Excel is a leading designer and manufacturer of premium commercial and residential turf-care equipment under the brands of Hustler Turf Equipment and BigDog Mower Co. The results of Excel subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the Company's Tools & Outdoor segment.
The Company believes this is a strategically important bolt-on acquisition as it builds an outdoor products leader. The Excel acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination, which requires, among other things, certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimated value of identifiable net assets acquired, which includes $36.7 million of working capital, $48.5 million of deferred tax liabilities, and $203.5 million of intangible assets, is $200.4 million. The related goodwill is $173.3 million. The amount allocated to intangible assets includes $158.0 million for customer relationships. The weighted-average useful life assigned to the intangible assets is 14 years.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected cost synergies of the combined business and assembled workforce. It is estimated that $0.6 million of goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

Other 2021 Acquisitions
During 2021, the Company completed two other acquisitions for a total purchase price of $207.7 million, net of cash acquired. The estimated acquisition date value of the identifiable net assets acquired is $51.5 million and working capital is $36.6 million. The related goodwill is $156.2 million. The results of these acquisitions subsequent to the dates of acquisition are included in the Company's Tools & Outdoor segment.
Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected cost synergies of the combined business and assembled workforce. It is estimated that $44.8 million of goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.
The acquisition accounting for these acquisitions is preliminary in certain respects. During the measurement period, the Company expects to record adjustments relating to working capital accounts, various opening balance sheet contingencies and various income tax matters, amongst others.
ACTUAL AND PRO-FORMA IMPACT OF THE ACQUISITIONS
Actual Impact from Acquisition
The Company did not complete any material acquisitions in the first half of 2022. As such, there was no material impact from new acquisitions on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022.
Pro-forma Impact from Acquisitions
The following table presents supplemental pro-forma information as if the 2021 acquisitions had occurred on December 29, 2019. The pro-forma consolidated results are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s consolidated net sales and net earnings would have been had the Company completed the acquisitions on the aforementioned date. In addition, the pro-forma consolidated results do not purport to project the future results of the Company.

2022 Pro-forma Results
The 2022 pro-forma results were calculated by combining the actual results of Stanley Black & Decker for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, inclusive of the results of MTD and Excel, with the following adjustment:
•Because the 2021 acquisitions were assumed to occur on December 29, 2019, there were no acquisition-related costs or inventory step-up charges factored into the 2022 pro-forma period, as such expenses would have occurred in the first year following the assumed acquisition date.
2021 Pro-forma Results
The 2021 pro-forma results were calculated by combining the results of Stanley Black & Decker with the stand-alone results of the 2021 acquisitions for their respective pre-acquisition period. Accordingly, the following adjustment was made:
•Elimination of the historical pre-acquisition intangible asset amortization expense and the addition of intangible asset amortization expense related to intangibles valued as part of the acquisition accounting that would have been incurred from January 2, 2021 to July 3, 2021.
•Because the 2021 acquisitions were assumed to occur on December 29, 2019, there were no acquisition-related costs or inventory step-up charges factored into the 2021 pro-forma year, as such expenses would have occurred in the first year following the assumed acquisition date.

During 2022 and 2021, the Company made additional immaterial investments in new and emerging start-up companies focused on innovation, breakthrough products and advanced technologies. With the exception of one immaterial investment, these investments, which are included in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, do not qualify for equity method accounting as the Company acquired less than 20 percent interest in each investment and does not have the ability to significantly influence the operating or financial decisions of any of the investees.

1Unamortized gain/(loss) associated with interest rate swaps are more fully discussed in Note I, Financial Instruments.
In February 2022, the Company issued $500.0 million of senior unsecured term notes maturing February 24, 2025 ("2025 Term Notes") and $500.0 million of senior unsecured term notes maturing May 15, 2032 (“2032 Term Notes”). The 2025 Term Notes will accrue interest at a fixed rate of 2.3% per annum and the 2032 Term Notes at a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt. The Company received total net proceeds from this offering of approximately $992.6 million, net of approximately $7.4 million of underwriting expenses and other fees associated with the transaction. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness under the commercial paper facilities.
The Company has a $3.5 billion commercial paper program which includes Euro denominated borrowings in addition to U.S. Dollars. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had commercial paper borrowings outstanding of $3.3 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.
The Company has a five-year $2.5 billion committed credit facility (the “5-Year Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the 5-Year Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling. A sub-limit amount of $814.3 million is designated for swing line advances which may be drawn in Euros pursuant to the terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and specific terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 5-Year Credit Agreement by the earlier of September 8, 2026 or upon termination. The 5-Year Credit Agreement is designated to be a liquidity back-stop for the Company's $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of July 2, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the Company had not drawn on its five-year committed credit facility.
The Company has a 364-Day $1.0 billion committed credit facility (the "364-Day Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros and bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and pursuant to the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of September 7, 2022 or upon termination. The
17
Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. The 364-Day Credit Agreement serves as part of the liquidity back-stop for the Company’s $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of July 2, 2022, and January 1, 2022, the Company had not drawn on its 364-Day Credit Agreement.
The Company has a second 364-Day $1.0 billion committed credit facility (the "Second 364-Day Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Second 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars and Euros and bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin determined at the time of borrowing. The Company must repay all advances under the Second 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of November 15, 2022 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had not drawn on its Second 364-Day Credit Agreement.
In January 2022, the Company executed a third 364-Day $2.5 billion committed credit facility (the "Third 364-Day Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Third 364-Day Credit Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars and bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin determined at the time of the borrowing. The Company must repay all advances under the Third 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of January 25, 2023 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. As of July 2, 2022, the Company had $2.5 billion outstanding on its Third 364-Day Credit Agreement.
I. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices and commodity prices. As part of the Company’s risk management program, a variety of financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, purchased currency options, foreign exchange contracts and commodity contracts, may be used to mitigate interest rate exposure, foreign currency exposure and commodity price exposure.
If the Company elects to do so and if the instrument meets the criteria specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, management designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges. Generally, commodity price exposures are not hedged with derivative financial instruments and instead are actively managed through customer pricing initiatives, procurement-driven cost reduction initiatives and other productivity improvement projects. Financial instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes.
A summary of the fair values of the Company’s derivatives recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022 is as follows:

The counterparties to all of the above mentioned financial instruments are major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk for net exchanges under these agreements, but not for the notional amounts. The credit risk is limited to the asset amounts noted above. The Company limits its exposure and concentration of risk by contracting with diverse financial institutions and does not anticipate non-performance by any of its counterparties. Further, as more fully discussed in Note M, Fair Value Measurements, the Company considers non-performance risk of its counterparties at each reporting period and adjusts the carrying value of these assets accordingly. The risk of default is considered remote. As of
18
July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, there were no assets that had been posted as collateral related to the above mentioned financial instruments.
During the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, cash flows related to derivatives, including those that are separately discussed below, resulted in net cash received of $60.2 million and net cash paid of $101.7 million, respectively.
CASH FLOW HEDGES
There were after-tax mark-to-market losses of $22.0 million and $49.8 million as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, reported for cash flow hedge effectiveness in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. An after-tax gain of $11.7 million is expected to be reclassified to earnings as the hedged transactions occur or as amounts are amortized within the next twelve months. The ultimate amount recognized will vary based on fluctuations of the hedged currencies and interest rates through the maturity dates.
The tables below detail pre-tax amounts of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in Accumulated other comprehensive loss during the periods in which the underlying hedged transactions affected earnings for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021:

1 Inclusive of the gain/loss amortization on terminated derivative financial instruments.
An after-tax gain of $2.2 million and loss of $5.3 million were reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings (inclusive of the gain/loss amortization on terminated derivative instruments) for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. An after-tax gain of $4.7 million and loss of $8.2 million were reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings (inclusive of the gain/loss amortization on terminated derivative instruments) for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
Interest Rate Contracts: The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to obtain the lowest cost source of funds within a targeted range of variable to fixed-debt proportions.
During 2021, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swaps totaling $400.0 million to offset expected variability on future interest rate payments associated with debt instruments expected to be issued in the future. During 2022, these swaps were terminated resulting in a gain of $22.7 million which is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized to interest expense over future periods.
The cash flows stemming from the maturity of such interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are presented within financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company has no outstanding forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of July 2, 2022, and had $400.0 million outstanding in forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of January 1, 2022.
Foreign Currency Contracts
Forward Contracts: Through its global businesses, the Company enters into transactions and makes investments denominated in multiple currencies that give rise to foreign currency risk. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly purchase inventory from subsidiaries with functional currencies different than their own, which creates currency-related volatility in the Company’s results of operations. The Company utilizes forward contracts to hedge these forecasted purchases and sales of inventory. Gains and losses reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss are recorded in Cost of sales as the hedged item affects earnings. There are no components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for these contracts. At July 2, 2022 and
20
January 1, 2022, the notional value of forward currency contracts outstanding was $233.9 million and $512.1 million, respectively, maturing on various dates through 2022.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES
Interest Rate Risk: In an effort to optimize the mix of fixed versus floating rate debt in the Company’s capital structure, the Company enters into interest rate swaps. In prior years, the Company entered into interest rate swaps related to certain of its notes payable which were subsequently terminated. Amortization of the gain/loss on previously terminated swaps is reported as a reduction of interest expense. Prior to termination, the changes in the fair value of the swaps and the offsetting changes in fair value related to the underlying notes were recognized in earnings. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company did not have any active fair value interest rate swaps.
A summary of the pre-tax effect of fair value hedge accounting on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 is as follows:

NET INVESTMENT HEDGES
The Company utilizes net investment hedges to offset the translation adjustment arising from re-measurement of its investment in the assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries. The total after-tax amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss were gains of $73.1 million and $71.8 million at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively.
As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had a foreign exchange contract with a notional value of $75.0 million maturing in 2022 hedging a portion of its Taiwan dollar denominated net investments. As of January 1, 2022, the Company had a cross currency swap with a notional value of $100.0 million that was hedging a portion of its Japanese yen denominated net investments and was scheduled to mature in 2023. During 2022, this swap was terminated resulting in a gain of $4.0 million.
Maturing foreign exchange contracts resulted in net cash received of $8.9 million and net cash paid of $52.6 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively.
21
Gains and losses on net investment hedges remain in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until disposal of the underlying assets. Gains and losses representing components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in earnings in Other, net on a straight-line basis over the term of the hedge. Gains and losses after a hedge has been de-designated are recorded directly to earnings in Other, net.

UNDESIGNATED HEDGES
Foreign Exchange Contracts: Foreign exchange forward contracts are used to reduce risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities (such as affiliate loans, payables and receivables). The objective is to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on operating results. The total notional amount of the forward contracts outstanding at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022 was $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, maturing on various dates through 2022. The gain (loss) recorded in income from changes in the fair value related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 for the three and six ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021 are as follows:

J. EQUITY ARRANGEMENTS
In March 2022, the Company executed accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreements with a notional amount of $2.0 billion, which was funded through borrowings under one of its existing 364-Day committed credit facilities. The ASR terms provided for an initial delivery of 85% of the total notional share equivalent at execution or 10,756,770 shares of common stock. In May 2022, the Company received an additional 3,211,317 shares in aggregate, determined by the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the term of the transaction. The final shares delivered reflect a blended settlement price of $143.18 per share for the entire transaction. In February 2022, the Company also executed open market share repurchases for a total of 1,888,601 shares of common stock for $300.0 million.
In March 2015, the Company entered into a forward share purchase contract with a financial institution counterparty for 3,645,510 shares of common stock. The contract obligates the Company to pay $350.0 million, plus an additional amount related to the forward component of the contract. In February 2022, the Company amended the settlement date to April 2023, or earlier at the Company's option. The reduction of common shares outstanding was recorded at the inception of the forward share purchase contract in March 2015 and factored into the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding at that time.
2019 Equity Units and Capped Call Transactions
In conjunction with the issuance of the 2019 Equity Units in November 2019, as further discussed in Note C, Earnings Per Share, the Company received approximately $734.5 million in cash proceeds, net of offering expenses and underwriting costs and commissions. The proceeds were attributed to the issuance of 750,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for $620.3 million and $114.2 million for the present value of the quarterly payments to holders of the 2022 Purchase Contracts ("Contract Adjustment Payments"), as discussed further below. The proceeds were used, together with cash on hand, to redeem long-term borrowings in December 2019. The Company also used $19.2 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions utilized to hedge potential economic dilution as described in more detail below.
The 2019 Equity Units are accounted for as one unit of account based on the economic linkage between the 2022 Purchase Contracts and Series D Preferred Stock, as well as the combination criteria outlined in ASC 815. The 2019 Equity Units represent mandatorily convertible preferred stock.
In November 2019, the Company issued 750,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The convertible preferred stock will initially not bear any dividends and the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock will not accrete. The convertible preferred stock has no maturity date and will remain outstanding unless converted by holders or redeemed by the Company. Holders of shares of the convertible preferred stock will generally have no voting rights.
The Series D Preferred Stock is pledged as collateral to support holders’ purchase obligations under the 2022 Purchase Contracts and will be remarketed. In connection with any successful remarketing, the Company may (but is not required to) modify certain terms of the convertible preferred stock, including the dividend rate, the conversion rate, and the earliest redemption date. After any successful remarketing in connection with which the dividend rate on the convertible preferred stock is increased, the Company will pay cumulative dividends on the convertible preferred stock, if declared by the Board of Directors, quarterly in arrears from the applicable remarketing settlement date.
The Company may not redeem the Series D Preferred Stock prior to December 22, 2022. At the election of the Company, on or after December 22, 2022, the Company may redeem for cash, all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. If the Company calls the Series D Preferred Stock for redemption, holders may convert their shares immediately preceding the redemption date.
The 2022 Purchase Contracts obligate the holders to purchase, on November 15, 2022, for a price of $100 in cash, a maximum number of 4.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments). The 2022 Purchase Contract holders may elect to settle their obligation early, in cash. The Series D Preferred Stock is pledged as collateral to guarantee the holders’ obligations to purchase common stock under the terms of the 2022 Purchase Contracts. The initial settlement rate determining the number of shares that each holder must purchase will not exceed the maximum settlement rate and is determined over a market value averaging period immediately preceding November 15, 2022.
23
The initial maximum settlement rate of 0.6272 was calculated using an initial reference price of $159.45, equal to the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on November 7, 2019. As of July 2, 2022, due to the customary anti-dilution provisions, the maximum settlement rate was 0.6290, equivalent to a reference price of $158.99. If the applicable market value of the Company's common stock is less than or equal to the reference price, the settlement rate will be the maximum settlement rate; and if the applicable market value of the Company's common stock is greater than the reference price, the settlement rate will be a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to $100 per share divided by the applicable market value. Upon a successful remarketing of the Series D Preferred Stock (the "Remarketed Series D Preferred Stock"), the Company will receive additional cash proceeds of $750 million and issue shares of Remarketed Series D Preferred Stock.
The Company pays Contract Adjustment Payments to the holders of the 2022 Purchase Contracts at a rate of 5.25% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, which commenced on February 15, 2020. The $114.2 million present value of the Contract Adjustment Payments reduced the Series D Preferred Stock at inception. As each quarterly Contract Adjustment Payment is made, the related liability is reduced and the difference between the cash payment and the present value will accrete to interest expense, approximately $1.3 million per year over the three-year term. As of July 2, 2022, the present value of the Contract Adjustment Payments was $19.2 million.
The holders can settle the purchase contracts early, for cash, subject to certain exceptions and conditions in the prospectus supplement. Upon early settlement of any purchase contracts, the Company will deliver the number of shares of its common stock equal to 85% of the number of shares of common stock that would have otherwise been deliverable.
Capped Call Transactions
In order to offset the potential economic dilution associated with the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent that the conversion value of the convertible preferred stock exceeds its liquidation preference, the Company entered into capped call transactions with three major financial institutions.
The capped call transactions have a term of approximately three years and are intended to cover the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. Subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the capped call had an initial lower strike price of $191.34, which corresponded to the minimum 5.2263 settlement rate of the Series D Preferred Stock, and an upper strike price of $207.29, which was approximately 30% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on November 7, 2019. As of July 2, 2022, due to the customary anti-dilution provisions, the capped call transactions were at an adjusted lower strike price of $190.81 and an adjusted upper strike price of $206.71.
The capped call transactions may be settled by net share settlement (the default settlement method) or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, cash settlement, physical settlement or modified physical settlement. The number of shares the Company will receive will be determined by the terms of the contracts using a volume-weighted average price calculation for the market value of the Company's common stock, over an averaging period. The market value determined will then be measured against the applicable strike price of the capped call transactions. The Company expects the capped call transactions to offset the potential dilution upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock if the calculated market value is greater than the lower strike price but less than or equal to the upper strike price of the capped call transactions. Should the calculated market value exceed the upper strike price of the capped call transactions, the dilution mitigation will be limited based on such capped value as determined under the terms of the contracts.
With respect to the impact on the Company, the capped call transactions and 2019 Equity Units, when taken together, result in the economic equivalent of having the conversion price on the 2019 Equity Units at $206.71, the upper strike price of the capped call as of July 2, 2022.
The Company paid $19.2 million, or an average of $4.90 per option, to enter into capped call transactions on 3.9 million shares of common stock. The $19.2 million premium paid was recorded as a reduction of Shareowners’ Equity. The aggregate fair value of the options at July 2, 2022 was $0.2 million.
24
2017 Equity Units and Capped Call Transactions
In conjunction with the issuance of the 2017 Equity Units in May 2017, as further discussed in Note C, Earnings Per Share, the Company received approximately $727.5 million in cash proceeds, net of offering expenses and underwriting costs and commissions. The proceeds were attributed to the issuance of 750,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $605.0 million, $117.1 million for the present value of the Contract Adjustment Payments, and a beneficial conversion feature of $5.4 million. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of short-term borrowings. The Company also used $25.1 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions utilized to hedge potential economic dilution as described in more detail below.
The 2017 Equity Units are accounted for as one unit of account based on the economic linkage between the 2020 Purchase Contracts and the Series C Preferred Stock, as well as the combination criteria outlined in ASC 815. The 2017 Equity Units represent mandatorily convertible preferred stock.
In May 2017, the Company issued 750,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The convertible preferred stock initially did not bear any dividends and the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock did not accrete. The convertible preferred stock had no maturity date and remained outstanding unless converted by holders or redeemed by the Company. Holders of shares of the convertible preferred stock generally had no voting rights. The Series C Preferred Stock was pledged as collateral to support holders’ purchase obligations under the 2020 Purchase Contracts.
As discussed further in Note C, Earnings Per Share, the Company successfully remarketed the Series C Preferred Stock in May 2020. Subsequent to the remarketing, holders of the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock were entitled to receive, if declared by the Board of Directors, cumulative dividends (i) from, and including May 15, 2020 to, but excluding, May 15, 2023 (the "dividend step-up date") at a fixed rate equal to 5.0% per annum of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $50.00 per annum per share) and (ii) from, and including, the dividend step-up date at a fixed rate equal to 10.0% per annum of the $1,000 per share liquidation preference (equivalent to $100.00 per annum per share). Dividends were cumulative on the $1,000 liquidation preference per share and will be payable, if declared by the Board of Directors, quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2020. Dividends accrued on the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock reduced net earnings for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
The Company did not have the right to redeem the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock prior to May 15, 2021. On April 28, 2021, the Company informed holders that it would redeem all outstanding shares of the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock on June 3, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”) at $1,002.50 per share in cash (the “Redemption Price”), which was equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of a share of Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. If a holder elected to convert its shares of Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock prior to the Redemption Date, the Company elected a combination settlement with a specified cash amount of $1,000 per share. In June 2021, the Company redeemed the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock and settled all conversions, paying $750 million in cash and issuing 1,469,055 common shares. The conversion rate used was 6.7548 (equivalent to a conversion price set at $148.04 per
common share).
The Company generated cash proceeds of $750.0 million, from the successful remarketing of the Series C Preferred Stock. Upon completion of the remarketing in May 2020, the holders of the 2017 Equity Units received 5,463,750 common shares using the maximum settlement rate of 0.7285 (equivalent to a reference price of $137.26 per common share), and the Company issued 750,000 shares of Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock.
The Company paid Contract Adjustment Payments to the holders of the 2020 Purchase Contracts at a rate of 5.375% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, which commenced August 15, 2017. The $117.1 million initial present value of these Contract Adjustment Payments reduced the Series C Preferred Stock at inception. As each quarterly Contract Adjustment Payment was made, the related liability was reduced and the difference between the cash payments and the present value accreted to interest expense, approximately $1.3 million per year over the three-year term. On May 15, 2020, the Company paid the final contract adjustment payment related to the 2020 Purchase Contracts.
Capped Call Transactions
25
In May 2017, the Company entered into capped call transactions with three major financial institutions (the "counterparties") in order to offset the potential economic dilution associated with the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, to the extent that the conversion value of the convertible preferred stock exceeds its liquidation preference. The Company paid $25.1 million, or an average of $5.43 per option, to enter into capped call transactions on 4.6 million shares of common stock. The $25.1 million premium paid was recorded as a reduction of Shareowners’ Equity.
The capped call transactions had a term of approximately three years and were intended to cover the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. Subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the capped call had an initial lower strike price of $162.27, which corresponded to the minimum 6.1627 settlement rate of the Series C Preferred Stock at inception, and an upper strike price of $179.53, which was approximately 30% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on May 11, 2017. In June 2020, the capped call options expired out of the money.
2018 Capped Call Transactions
In March 2018, the Company purchased from a financial institution “at-the-money” capped call options with an approximate term of three years, on 3.2 million shares of its common stock (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) for an aggregate premium of $57.3 million, or an average of $17.96 per share. The premium paid was recorded as a reduction of Shareowners’ Equity. The purpose of the capped call options was to hedge the risk of stock price appreciation between the lower and upper strike prices of the capped call options for a future share repurchase.
In February 2020, the Company net-share settled 0.6 million of the 3.2 million capped call options on its common stock and received 61,767 shares using an average reference price of $162.26 per common share.
On June 9, 2020, the Company amended the 2018 capped call options to align with and offset the potential economic dilution associated with the common shares issuable upon conversion of the Remarketed Series C Preferred Stock, as further discussed above. Subsequent to the amendment, the capped call options, subject to anti-dilution, had an initial lower strike price of $148.34 and an upper strike price of $165.00, which was approximately 30% higher than the closing price of the Company's common stock on June 9, 2020.
The capped call transactions may be settled by net share settlement (the default settlement method) or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, cash settlement, physical settlement or modified physical settlement. The number of shares the Company will receive will be determined by the terms of the contracts using a volume-weighted average price calculation for the market value of the Company's common stock, over an averaging period. The market value determined will then be measured against the applicable strike price of the capped call transactions.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company net-share settled the remaining capped call options on its common stock and received 344,004 shares using an average reference price of $209.80 per common share.

M. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines, establishes a consistent framework for measuring, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value. ASC 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 — Instruments that are valued using unobservable inputs.
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, stock prices and commodity prices. The Company holds various financial instruments to manage these risks. These financial instruments are carried at fair value and are included within the scope of ASC 820. The Company determines the fair value of these financial instruments through the use of matrix or model pricing, which utilizes observable inputs such as market interest and currency rates. When determining fair value for which Level 1 evidence does not exist, the Company considers various factors including the following: exchange or market price quotations of similar instruments, time value and volatility factors, the Company’s own credit rating and the credit rating of the counterparty.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for each of the hierarchy levels:

The following table provides information about the Company's financial assets and liabilities not carried at fair value:
| July 2, 2022 | January 1, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Millions of Dollars) | Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||||
| Other investments | $ | 9.3 | $ | 9.4 | $ | 11.2 | $ | 11.6 | |||||||||||||||
| Long-term debt, including current portion | $ | 5,353.0 | $ | 4,949.6 | $ | 4,354.9 | $ | 4,850.2 | |||||||||||||||
The money market fund and other investments related to the West Coast Loading Corporation ("WCLC") trust are considered Level 1 instruments within the fair value hierarchy. The equity security is considered a Level 1 instrument and is recorded at its quoted market price. The deferred compensation plan investments are considered Level 1 instruments and are recorded at their quoted market price. The long-term debt instruments are considered Level 2 instruments and are measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s marginal borrowing rates. The differences between the carrying values and fair values of long-term debt are attributable to the stated interest rates differing from the Company's marginal borrowing rates. The fair values of the Company's variable rate short-term borrowings approximate their carrying values at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022. The fair values of the derivative financial instruments in the table above are based on current settlement values.
As part of the Craftsman® brand acquisition in March 2017, the Company recorded a contingent consideration liability representing the Company's obligation to make payments to Transform Holdco, LLC, which operates Sears and Kmart retail locations, of between 2.5% and 3.5% on sales of Craftsman products in new Stanley Black & Decker channels through March 2032. During the six months ended July 2, 2022, the Company paid approximately $21.1 million for royalties owed. The Company will continue making future payments quarterly through the second quarter of 2032. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis taking into consideration future sales projections, forecasted payments to Transform Holdco, LLC, based on contractual royalty rates, and the related tax impacts. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $284.7 million and $288.6 million as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. Adjustments to the contingent consideration liability, with the exception of cash payments, are recorded in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). A 100 basis point reduction in the discount rate would result in an increase to the liability of approximately $9.8 million as of July 2, 2022.
A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company's judgments used to determine the estimated contingent consideration liabilities discussed above, including estimated future sales projections, can materially impact the Company’s results from operations.
The Company had no significant non-recurring fair value measurements, nor any other financial assets or liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs, during the first six months of 2022 or 2021.

N. OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES
Other, net is primarily comprised of intangible asset amortization expense, currency-related gains or losses, environmental remediation expense, acquisition-related transaction and consulting costs, and certain pension gains or losses.

Acquisition-related transaction and consulting costs of $0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, were included in Other, net during the three and six months ended July 3, 2021.
O. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
A summary of the restructuring reserve activity from January 1, 2022 to July 2, 2022 is as follows:
| (Millions of Dollars) | January 1, 2022 | Net Additions | Usage | Currency | July 2, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Severance and related costs | $ | 28.2 | $ | 64.6 | $ | (43.5) | $ | 2.1 | $ | 51.4 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Facility closures and asset impairments | 3.5 | 7.6 | (8.6) | 0.1 | 2.6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 31.7 | $ | 72.2 | $ | (52.1) | $ | 2.2 | $ | 54.0 | |||||||||||||||||||
For the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, the Company recognized net restructuring charges of $19.5 million and $72.2 million, respectively, primarily related to severance and related costs. The majority of the $54.0 million of reserves remaining as of July 2, 2022 is expected to be utilized within the next 12 months.
Segments: The $72 million of net restructuring charges for the six months ended July 2, 2022 includes: $45 million in the Tools & Outdoor segment; $16 million in the Industrial segment; and $11 million in Corporate.
The $19 million of net restructuring charges for the three months ended July 2, 2022 includes: $2 million in the Tools & Outdoor segment; $8 million in the Industrial segment; and $9 million in Corporate.
30
P. INCOME TAXES
The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $62.8 million and $39.9 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (395.0)% and (20.5)%. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a benefit associated with the anticipated disposition of the Company's Oil & Gas business, the continued reorganization of the supply chain, the impact of lower forecasted earnings in North America and the re-measurement of uncertain tax positions. Excluding the impacts of the acquisition-related and other charges, the effective tax rates were (3.9)% and 6.4% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate due to the items discussed above, excluding the benefit associated with the anticipated disposition of the Company's Oil & Gas business.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $67.3 million and $182.8 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 13.6% and 17.1%. Excluding the impacts of the acquisition-related and other charges, the effective tax rates were 14.3% and 17.5% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax on foreign earnings, the re-measurement of uncertain tax position reserves, the re-measurement of the deferred tax assets and liabilities due to foreign corporate income tax rate changes, and the tax benefit of equity-based compensation.
The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and the impact on income tax expense, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company's unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. However, based on the uncertainties associated with finalizing audits with the relevant tax authorities including formal legal proceedings, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the impact of any such change.

R. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings relating to environmental issues, employment, product liability, workers’ compensation claims and other matters. The Company periodically reviews the status of these proceedings with both inside and outside counsel, as well as an actuary for risk insurance. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on operations or financial condition taken as a whole.
33
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to administrative proceedings and litigation, before federal and state regulatory agencies, relating to environmental remediation with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment, generally at current and former manufacturing facilities. In addition, some of these claims assert that the Company is responsible for damages and liability, for remedial investigation and clean-up costs, with respect to sites that have never been owned or operated by the Company, but the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP").
In connection with the 2010 merger with Black & Decker, the Company assumed certain commitments and contingent liabilities. Black & Decker is a party to litigation and administrative proceedings with respect to claims involving the discharge of hazardous substances into the environment at current and former manufacturing facilities and has also been named as a PRP in certain administrative proceedings.
The Company, along with many other companies, has been named as a PRP in numerous administrative proceedings for the remediation of various waste sites, including 26 active Superfund sites. Current laws potentially impose joint and several liabilities upon each PRP. In assessing its potential liability at these sites, the Company has considered the following: whether responsibility is being disputed, the terms of existing agreements, experience at similar sites, and the Company’s volumetric contribution at these sites.
The Company’s policy is to accrue environmental investigatory and remediation costs for identified sites when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If no amount in the range of probable loss is considered most likely, the minimum loss in the range is accrued. The amount of liability recorded is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site and includes such factors as existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites. The liabilities recorded do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance or third parties. As assessments and remediation progress at individual sites, the amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had reserves of $147.9 million and $159.1 million, respectively, for remediation activities associated with Company-owned properties, as well as for Superfund sites, for losses that are probable and estimable. Of the 2022 amount, $46.6 million is classified as current and $101.3 million as long-term which is expected to be paid over the estimated remediation period. As of July 2, 2022, the range of environmental remediation costs that is reasonably possible is $75.5 million to $256.3 million which is subject to change in the near term. The Company may be liable for environmental remediation of sites it no longer owns. Liabilities have been recorded on those sites in accordance with the Company's policy.
As of July 2, 2022, the Company has recorded $16.2 million in other assets related to funding received by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and placed in a trust in accordance with the final settlement with the EPA, embodied in a Consent Decree approved by the United States District Court for the Central District of California on July 3, 2013. Per the Consent Decree, Emhart Industries, Inc. (a dissolved and liquidated former indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of The Black & Decker Corporation) (“Emhart”) has agreed to be responsible for an interim remedy at a site located in Rialto, California and formerly operated by West Coast Loading Corporation (“WCLC”), a defunct company for which Emhart was alleged to be liable as a successor. The remedy will be funded by (i) the amounts received from the EPA as gathered from multiple parties, and, to the extent necessary, (ii) Emhart's affiliate. The interim remedy requires the construction of a water treatment facility and the filtering of ground water at or around the site for a period of approximately 30 years or more. As of July 2, 2022, the Company's net cash obligation associated with remediation activities, including WCLC assets, is $131.7 million.
The EPA also asserted claims in federal court in Rhode Island against Black & Decker and Emhart related to environmental contamination found at the Centredale Manor Restoration Project Superfund Site ("Centredale"), located in North Providence, Rhode Island. The EPA discovered a variety of contaminants at the site, including but not limited to, dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, and pesticides. The EPA alleged that Black & Decker and Emhart are liable for site clean-up costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA") as successors to the liability of Metro-Atlantic, Inc., a former operator at the site, and demanded reimbursement of the EPA’s costs related to this site. Black & Decker and Emhart then vigorously litigated the issue of their liability for environmental conditions at the Centredale site, including completing trial on Phase 1 of the proceedings in late July 2015 and completing trial on Phase 2 of the proceedings in April 2017. On July 9, 2018, a Consent Decree was lodged with the United States District Court documenting the terms of a settlement between the Company and the United States for reimbursement of EPA's past costs and remediation of environmental contamination found at the Centredale site. The terms of the Consent Decree were subject to public comment and Court approval. After a full hearing on March 19, 2019, the Court approved and entered the Consent Decree on April 8, 2019. The settlement resolves outstanding issues relating to Phase 1 and 2 of the litigation with the United States. The Company is complying with the terms of the settlement. The District Court's entry of the Consent Decree was appealed by several PRPs at the site to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. The District Court's actions were affirmed by the First Circuit on February 17, 2021. Phase 3 of the litigation, is addressing the potential allocation of liability to other PRPs who may have
34
contributed to contamination of the Centredale site with dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls and other contaminants of concern. As of July 2, 2022, the Company has a remaining reserve of $50.6 million for this site.
The Company and approximately 47 other companies comprise the Lower Passaic Cooperating Parties Group (the “CPG”). The CPG members and other companies are parties to a May 2007 Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent (“AOC”) with the EPA to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study (“RI/FS”) of the lower seventeen miles of the Lower Passaic River in New Jersey (the “River”). The Company’s potential liability stems from former operations in Newark, New Jersey. As an interim step related to the 2007 AOC, on June 18, 2012, the CPG members voluntarily entered into an AOC with the EPA for remediation actions focused solely at mile 10.9 of the River. The Company’s estimated costs related to the RI/FS and focused remediation action at mile 10.9, based on an interim allocation, are included in its environmental reserves. On April 11, 2014, the EPA issued a Focused Feasibility Study (“FFS”) and proposed plan which addressed various early action remediation alternatives for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. The EPA received public comment on the FFS and proposed plan (including comments from the CPG and other entities asserting that the FFS and proposed plan do not comply with CERCLA) which public comment period ended on August 20, 2014. The CPG submitted to the EPA a draft RI report in February 2015 and draft FS report in April 2015 for the entire lower seventeen miles of the River. On March 4, 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision ("ROD") selecting the remedy for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. The cleanup plan adopted by the EPA is now considered a final action for the lower 8.3 miles of the River and will include the removal of 3.5 million cubic yards of sediment, placement of a cap over the entire lower 8.3 miles of the River, and, according to the EPA, will cost approximately $1.4 billion and take 6 years to implement after the remedial design is completed. The Company and 105 other parties received a letter dated March 31, 2016 from the EPA notifying such parties of potential liability for the costs of the cleanup of the lower 8.3 miles of the River and a letter dated March 30, 2017 stating that the EPA had offered 20 of the parties (not including the Company) an early cash out settlement. In a letter dated May 17, 2017, the EPA stated that these 20 parties did not discharge any of the eight hazardous substances identified as the contaminants of concern in the lower 8.3 mile ROD. In the March 30, 2017 letter, the EPA stated that other parties who did not discharge dioxins, furans or polychlorinated biphenyls (which are considered the contaminants of concern posing the greatest risk to human health or the environment) may also be eligible for cash out settlement, but expects those parties' allocation to be determined through a complex settlement analysis using a third-party allocator. The EPA subsequently clarified this statement to say that such parties would be eligible to be "funding parties" for the lower 8.3 mile remedial action with each party's share of the costs determined by the EPA based on the allocation process and the remaining parties would be "work parties" for the remedial action. The Company asserts that it did not discharge dioxins, furans or polychlorinated biphenyls and should be eligible to be a "funding party" for the lower 8.3 mile remedial action. The Company participated in the allocation process. The allocator selected by the EPA issued a confidential allocation report on December 28, 2020, which was reviewed by the EPA. As a result of the allocation process, on February 11, 2022, the EPA and certain parties (including the Company) reached an agreement in principle, subject to the negotiation and court entry of a consent decree, concerning a cash-out settlement for remediation of the entire 17-mile Lower Passaic River. On September 30, 2016, Occidental Chemical Corporation ("OCC") entered into an agreement with the EPA to perform the remedial design for the cleanup plan for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. The remedial design is expected to be substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. On June 30, 2018, OCC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against over 100 companies, including the Company, seeking CERCLA cost recovery or contribution for past costs relating to various investigations and cleanups OCC has conducted or is conducting in connection with the River. According to the complaint, OCC has incurred or is incurring costs which include the estimated cost ($165 million) to complete the remedial design for the cleanup plan for the lower 8.3 miles of the River. OCC also seeks a declaratory judgment to hold the defendants liable for their proper shares of future response costs for OCC's ongoing activities in connection with the River. The Company and other defendants have answered the complaint and currently are engaged in discovery with OCC. On February 24, 2021, the Company and other defendants filed a third party complaint against the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners and forty-two municipalities to require those entities to pay their equitable share of response costs. On October 10, 2018, the EPA issued a letter directing the CPG to prepare a streamlined feasibility study for the upper 9 miles of the River based on an iterative approach using adaptive management strategies. The CPG submitted a revised draft Interim Remedy Feasibility Study to the EPA on December 4, 2020, which identifies various targeted dredge and cap alternatives with costs that range from $420 million to $468 million (net present value). The EPA approved the Interim Remedy Feasibility Study on December 11, 2020. The EPA issued the Interim Remedy Proposed Plan on April 14, 2021, selecting an alternative that the EPA estimates will cost $441 million (net present value). The CPG continues to conduct work to complete the RI/FS for the entire 17-mile River. The EPA issued the Interim Remedy ROD on September 28, 2021. At this time, the Company cannot reasonably estimate its liability related to the litigation and remediation efforts, excluding the RI/FS and remediation actions at mile 10.9, as the OCC litigation is pending, the EPA settlement process is ongoing and the parties that will participate in funding the remediation and their respective allocations are not yet known.
Per the terms of a Final Order and Judgment approved by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida on January 22, 1991, Emhart is responsible for a percentage of remedial costs arising out of the Kerr McGee Chemical Corporation Superfund Site located in Jacksonville, Florida. On March 15, 2017, the Company received formal notification from the EPA that the EPA had issued a ROD selecting the preferred alternative identified in the Proposed Cleanup Plan. As of July 2, 2022, the Company has reserved $21.8 million for this site.
35
The amount recorded for identified contingent liabilities is based on estimates. Amounts recorded are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional technical and legal information that becomes available. Actual costs to be incurred in future periods may vary from the estimates, given the inherent uncertainties in evaluating certain exposures. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future contingent liability costs, the Company does not expect that any sum it may have to pay in connection with these matters in excess of the amounts recorded will have a materially adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
S. COMMITMENTS AND GUARANTEES
COMMITMENTS — The Company has numerous assets, predominantly real estate, vehicles and equipment, under various lease arrangements. The following is a summary of the Company's right-of-use-assets and lease liabilities:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains statements reflecting the Company's views about its future performance that constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Please read the information under the caption entitled “Cautionary Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."
Throughout this Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), references to Notes refer to the "Notes To (Unaudited) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Strategy
The Company is a global provider of hand tools, power tools, outdoor products and related accessories, as well as a leading provider of engineered fastening solutions and attachment tools for infrastructure applications. The Company has executed a growth and acquisition strategy that involves industry, geographic and customer diversification to foster sustainable revenue, earnings and cash flow growth over the long term. Over the next two to three years, the Company is focused on leveraging past acquisitions through an organic strategy that optimizes the newly focused portfolio surrounding its tools, outdoor and industrial businesses. Execution of this strategy means reducing complexity and optimizing the operating structure to invest in the Company’s leading franchises to deliver above-market organic growth and to transform the supply chain to be shorter, closer to customers and more responsive to demand.
A key enabler of the strategy is the long-standing Stanley Black & Decker Operating Model (“SBD Operating Model”) which has continually evolved over the past 15 years as times have changed. The core tenets of the SBD Operating Model include the concept of the interrelationship between people and technology, which intersect and interact with the other key elements that are focused on delivering capital efficient growth and margin expansion.
The Company’s growth strategy is interdependent with its social responsibility strategy focused on workforce upskilling, product innovation, and environmental preservation including mitigating the impacts of climate change. These are core business issues that ensure the long-term viability of the Company, its customers, suppliers, and communities. The Company has established environmental, social and corporate governance ("ESG") targets embodied in its 2030 ESG strategy that include empowering 10 million makers and creators, enhancing 500 million lives through purpose-driven product innovation, becoming carbon-neutral, landfill-free across its operations, and reducing water use in water stressed and scarce areas. The carbon neutrality target includes third-party approved science-based targets to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 100% by 2030, and to reduce supply chain emissions by 35%. The Company’s ESG strategy considers all life-cycle stages including material procurement from supply chain partners, product design, manufacturing, distribution and transportation, product use, product service and end-of-life. Refer to section "Human Capital Management" in Item 1 Business of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2022 for additional information regarding the Company's commitment to upskilling its employees and improving diversity, equity and inclusion.
In terms of capital allocation, the Company remains committed, over the long-term, to returning approximately 50% of excess capital to shareholders through a strong and growing dividend as well as opportunistically repurchasing shares. The remaining capital (approximately 50%) will be deployed towards acquisitions. Over the next two to three years the Company expects to prioritize return of excess capital to shareholders.
Share Repurchases And Other Securities
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 12,645,371 shares of common stock for approximately $2.3 billion through a combination of an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") and open market share repurchases. The ASR terms provided for an initial delivery of 85% of the total notional share equivalent at execution, or 10,756,770 shares. The final delivery of the remaining shares totaling 3,211,317 under the ASR was completed during the second quarter of 2022. Refer to Note J, Equity Arrangements, for further discussion.
In addition, on April 23, 2021, the Board of Directors approved repurchases by the Company of its outstanding securities other than common stock up to an aggregate amount of $3.0 billion. No repurchases have been executed pursuant to this authorization to date.

Pending Sale of Oil & Gas business
In June 2022, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement for the sale of its Oil & Gas business. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close in the second half of 2022.
Sale of Mechanical Access Solutions ("MAS")
On July 5, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its Mechanical Access Solutions ("MAS") business comprising of the automatic doors business to Allegion plc for proceeds of $922.8 million.
Sale of Convergent Security Solutions ("CSS")
On July 22, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its CSS business comprising of commercial electronic security and healthcare businesses to Securitas AB for proceeds of $3.2 billion.
Proceeds from the sale of these businesses are expected to be used to fund debt reduction and to contribute to the Company's share repurchase program completed during the first half of 2022. The use of proceeds towards a planned share repurchase program is consistent with the Company's long-term capital allocation strategy focused on value maximization.
Acquisitions
On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired the remaining 80 percent ownership stake in MTD Holdings Inc. ("MTD"), a privately held global manufacturer of outdoor power equipment. The Company previously acquired a 20 percent interest in MTD in January 2019. With over $2.6 billion of revenue in 2021, MTD designs, manufactures and distributes lawn tractors, zero turn ride on mowers, walk behind mowers, snow blowers, residential robotic mowers, handheld outdoor power equipment and garden tools for both residential and professional consumers under well-known brands like Cub Cadet® and Troy-Bilt®.
On November 12, 2021, the Company acquired Excel Industries ("Excel"). Excel is a leading designer and manufacturer of premium commercial and residential turf-care equipment under the brands of Hustler Turf Equipment® and BigDog Mower Co®. The Company believes this is a strategically important bolt-on acquisition that bolsters the presence in the independent dealer network.
The Company expects the combination of MTD, Excel and its existing outdoor strategic business unit in Tools & Outdoor will create a global leader in the $25 billion and growing outdoor category, with strong brands and growth opportunities. As part of the integration of these businesses, the Company plans to design, develop and manufacture battery and electric-powered solutions for professional and residential users. This will position the combined businesses to be a leader as preferences shift from gas powered equipment toward electrified solutions in outdoor power equipment.
Refer to Note F, Acquisitions and Investments, for further discussion.
Implementing Global Cost Reduction Program That Is Expected To Deliver $1 Billion Of Cost Savings By End of 2023 And Approximately $2 Billion Within 3 Years
The Company has launched a series of initiatives designed to generate cost savings by resizing the organization and maximizing cash flow, which will reduce inventory while driving long term growth and improved profitability. These initiatives will optimize the cost base for the current demand environment as well as provide a platform to fund future investments to accelerate growth in the core businesses. The Company expects these initiatives to generate cost savings of approximately $150 million to $200 million in the remainder of 2022, $1 billion by the end of 2023 and grow to approximately $2 billion within three years. In addition, the Company is aggressively reducing inventory to support a working capital reduction of $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion and strong free cash flow generation in the second half of 2022.
The Company’s primary areas of strategic focus are:
•Prioritizing cash flow generation and inventory optimization;
•Streamlining and simplifying the organization, as well as shifting resources to prioritize investments that it believes impacts customers more directly;
•Accelerating the operations and supply chain transformation to better match the needs of its customers; and
•Continuing to advance innovation, electrification and global market penetration to achieve organic growth of 2-3 times the market.
40
The Company expects to achieve $1 billion of cost savings by the end of 2023 through the following initiatives:
•Accelerating supply chain transformation ($0.5 billion);
•Simplifying the corporate structure ($0.2 billion);
•Optimizing organizational spans and layers and prioritizing investments in its core businesses ($0.1 billion); and
•Reducing indirect spend ($0.2 billion).
While the supply chain transformation is expected to generate significant cost savings through 2023, the Company is embarking on a three-year journey to completely reshape its supply chain. By moving closer to its customers, becoming more responsive to demand and enabling an agile innovation approach with shorter cycle times, the Company expects to deliver approximately $1.5 billion of cumulative cost savings to achieve 35%+ adjusted gross margins. To drive these efficiencies, the plan will focus on:
•Leveraging strategic sourcing and contract manufacturing ($0.5 billion);
•Consolidating facilities with a 30%+ reduction in manufacturing facilities from approximately 120 today ($0.3 billion);
•Executing the SBD Operating Model to deliver operational excellence through efficiency, simplified organizational design and inventory optimization ($0.4 billion); and
•Platforming products and implementing initiatives to drive a 40%+ SKU reduction ($0.3 billion).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s results represent continuing operations and exclude the commercial electronic security, healthcare, and automatic doors businesses, unless specifically noted. These divestitures represent a single plan to exit the Security segment and are considered a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Therefore, the operating results of these businesses have been classified as discontinued operations. The pending divestiture of the Oil & Gas business did not qualify for discontinued operations and therefore, its results are included in the Company's continuing operations within the Industrial segment for all periods presented.
Certain Items Impacting Earnings
The Company has provided a discussion of its results both inclusive and exclusive of acquisition-related and other charges. Organic growth is also utilized to describe results aside from the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations, acquisitions during their initial 12 months of ownership, and divestitures. The results and measures, including gross profit, selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A"), Other, net, and segment profit, on a basis excluding acquisition-related and other charges, and organic growth are Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company considers the use of Non-GAAP financial measures relevant to aid analysis and understanding of the Company’s results and business trends aside from the material impact of these items and ensures appropriate comparability to operating results of prior periods.

Below is a summary of the Company’s operating results at the consolidated level, followed by an overview of business segment performance.
Consolidated Results
Net Sales: Net sales were $4.393 billion in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $3.799 billion in the second quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 16%, primarily driven by a 24% increase from strategic outdoor power equipment acquisitions and a 7% increase from price realization, partially offset by a 13% and 2% decrease from volume and foreign currency, respectively. Tools & Outdoor net sales increased 17% compared to the second quarter of 2021 due to a 28% increase from the MTD and Excel acquisitions and a 7% increase in price, partially offset by a 16% decline in volume and a 2% decrease from foreign currency. Industrial net sales increased by 8% compared to the second quarter of 2021 as an 8% increase in price and 4% increase in volume was partially offset by a 4% impact from foreign currency.
Net sales were $8.841 billion in the first half of 2022 compared to $7.520 billion in the first half of 2021, representing an increase of 18%, primarily driven by a 23% increase from strategic outdoor power equipment acquisitions and a 6% increase from price realization, partially offset by 9% and 2% decreases from volume and foreign currency, respectively. Tools & Outdoor net sales increased 21% compared to the first half of 2021 due to a 28% increase from the MTD and Excel acquisitions and a 6% increase in price, partially offset by an 11% decline in volume and a 2% decrease from foreign currency. Industrial net sales increased 3% compared to the first half of 2021 as a 7% increase in price was partially offset by a 3% impact from foreign currency and a modest decline in volume of 1%.
Gross Profit: Gross profit was $1.207 billion, or 27.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.362 billion, or 35.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2021. Acquisition-related and other charges, which reduced gross profit, were $16.6 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and $1.3 million for the three months ended July 3, 2021. Excluding these charges, gross profit was 27.9% of net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared to 35.9% for the three months ended July 3, 2021, as price realization was more than offset by commodity inflation, higher supply chain costs and lower volume.
Gross profit was $2.513 billion, or 28.4% of net sales, in the first half of 2022 compared to $2.750 billion, or 36.6% of net sales, in the first half of 2021. Acquisition-related and other charges, which reduced gross profit, were $105.4 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and $5.7 million for the six months ended July 3, 2021. Excluding these charges, gross profit was 29.6% of net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared to 36.6% for the six months ended July 3, 2021, driven by the factors discussed above that impacted the second quarter of 2022.
44
SG&A Expenses: SG&A, inclusive of the provision for credit losses, was $852.7 million, or 19.4% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $767.1 million, or 20.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2021. Within SG&A, acquisition-related and other charges totaled $32.9 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and $18.4 million for the three months ended July 3, 2021. Excluding these charges, SG&A was 18.7% of net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2022, compared to 19.7% for the three months ended July 3, 2021.
SG&A, inclusive of the provision for credit losses, was $1.813 billion, or 20.5% of net sales, in the first half of 2022, compared to $1.486 billion, or 19.8% of net sales, in the first half of 2021. Within SG&A, acquisition-related and other charges totaled $111.8 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and $33.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2021. Excluding these charges, SG&A was 19.2% of net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2022, compared to 19.3% for the six months ended July 3, 2021.
Distribution center costs (i.e. warehousing and fulfillment facility and associated labor costs) are classified within SG&A. This classification may differ from other companies who may report such expenses within cost of sales. Due to diversity in practice, to the extent the classification of these distribution costs differs from other companies, the Company’s gross margins may not be comparable.
Other, net: Other, net amounted to $79.1 million and $42.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $10.9 million, Other, net totaled $68.2 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $0.5 million, Other, net totaled $42.0 million for the three months ended July 3, 2021. The increase in 2022 compared to 2021 is driven by higher intangible asset amortization due to the MTD and Excel acquisitions.
Other, net amounted to $141.1 million and $90.5 million in the first half of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $11.9 million, Other, net totaled $129.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $2.1 million, Other, net totaled $88.4 million for the six months ended July 3, 2021. The increase in 2022 compared to 2021 is driven by higher intangible asset amortization due to the MTD and Excel acquisitions.
(Gain) Loss on Sales of Businesses: During the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million and a pre-tax loss of $2.6 million, respectively, related to previously divested businesses.
During the first half of 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million and a pre-tax loss of $3.6 million, respectively, related to previously divested businesses.
Asset Impairment Charge: During the second quarter of 2022 the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of $168.4 million related to the Oil & Gas business. Refer to Footnote T, Divestitures, for additional information on the pending divestiture of the Oil & Gas business.
Interest, net: Net interest expense was $71.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $43.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. On a year-to-date basis, net interest expense was $123.6 million in 2022 and $88.4 million in 2021. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher U.S. interest rates and higher average balances relating to the Company's commercial paper borrowings, as well as the $2.25 billion credit facility and $1.0 billion issuance of debt in the first quarter of 2022.
Income Taxes: The Company recognized income tax benefit of $62.8 million and $39.9 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (395.0)% and (20.5)%. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a benefit associated with the anticipated disposition of the Company's Oil & Gas business, the continued reorganization of the supply chain, the impact of lower forecasted earnings in North America and the re-measurement of uncertain tax positions. Excluding the impacts of the acquisition-related and other charges, the effective tax rates were (3.9)% and 6.4% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate due to the items discussed above, excluding the benefit associated with the anticipated disposition of the Company's Oil & Gas business.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $67.3 million and $182.8 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 13.6% and 17.1%. Excluding the impacts of the acquisition-related and other charges, the effective tax rates were 14.3% and 17.5% for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively. These effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to tax on foreign earnings, the re-measurement of uncertain tax position reserves, the re-measurement of the deferred tax assets and liabilities due to foreign corporate income tax rate changes, and the tax benefit of equity-based compensation.

Business Segment Results
The Company’s reportable segments are aggregations of businesses that have similar products, services and end markets, among other factors. The Company utilizes segment profit which is defined as net sales minus cost of sales and SG&A inclusive of the provision for credit losses (aside from corporate overhead expense), and segment profit as a percentage of net sales to assess the profitability of each segment.
The Company’s operations are classified into two reportable business segments: Tools & Outdoor and Industrial.
Tools & Outdoor:

Tools & Outdoor net sales increased $548.4 million, or 17%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, as a 28% increase from the MTD and Excel acquisitions and a 7% increase in price were partially offset by lower volume of 16% and 2% from unfavorable currency impacts. Regional year-over-year organic revenue was flat in the emerging markets and had 10% and 11% declines in Europe and North America, respectively. Sales in outdoor products were impacted by a very slow start to the season due to poor weather and a slowing consumer demand environment in the last portion of the quarter, and as a result, were down 8% on a proforma basis. The Tools business had in-line performance through late May, after which, demand slowed significantly for the remainder of the quarter. U.S. retail point-of-sale demand softened during the last portion of the quarter and appears to be stabilizing above 2019 levels on a total dollar basis, supported by price increases and professional demand.
Tools & Outdoor net sales increased $1.287 billion, or 21%, in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021, primarily driven by a 28% increase from the MTD and Excel acquisitions and a 6% increase in price, partially offset by lower volume of 11% and 2% from unfavorable currency impacts. Organic revenue in emerging markets increased 3% year-over-year and declined in Europe and North America by 4% and 7%, respectively. The year-over-year change was primarily driven by the same factors that impacted the second quarter of 2022, as discussed above.
Segment profit for the second quarter of 2022 was $361.6 million, or 9.7% of net sales, compared to $627.0 million, or 19.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2021. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $41.3 million and $9.2 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, segment profit was 10.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2022 and 19.9% in the second quarter of 2021, as the benefit from price realization was more than offset by inflation, higher supply chain costs and lower volume.
Segment profit for the first half of 2022 was $740.1 million, or 9.8% of net sales, compared to $1.272 billion, or 20.3% of net sales, in the first half of 2021. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $195.0 million and $13.4 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, segment profit was 12.4% of net sales in the first half of 2022 and 20.5% in the first half of 2021, primarily driven by the same factors discussed above.

Industrial net sales increased $45.9 million, or 8%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, driven by an 8% increase in price and 4% increase in volume partially offset by 4% from unfavorable currency impacts. Engineered Fastening organic revenues were up by 7% led by growth in aerospace, general industrial and automotive fasteners. Infrastructure organic revenues were up 26%, with attachment tools delivering 17% growth while the business maintained a healthy backlog.
46
Industrial net sales increased $34.8 million, or 3%, in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021, as a 7% increase in price was partially offset by unfavorable currency impacts of 3% and a modest decline in volume of 1%. Engineered Fastening and Infrastructure organic revenues grew 3% and 14%, respectively, primarily driven by the same factors discussed above.
Industrial segment profit for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $58.3 million, or 9.0% of net sales, compared to $60.5 million, or 10.0% of net sales, in the corresponding 2021 period. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $1.9 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, segment profit amounted to 9.3% of net sales in the second quarter of 2022, down 120 basis points from 10.5% in the second quarter of 2021 as volume growth and price realization were more than offset by commodity inflation, higher supply chain costs and adverse mix.
Industrial segment profit for the first half of 2022 totaled $99.6 million, or 7.7% of net sales, compared to $160.3 million, or 12.7% of net sales, in the corresponding 2021 period. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $5.4 million and $6.6 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, segment profit amounted to 8.1% of net sales in the first half of 2022 compared to 13.2% in the first half of 2021 primarily driven by the same factors discussed above.
Corporate Overhead
Corporate Overhead includes the corporate overhead element of SG&A, which is not allocated to the business segments. Corporate Overhead amounted to $65.5 million and $92.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $6.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and $7.5 million for the three months ended July 3, 2021, the corporate overhead element of SG&A was $59.2 million and $85.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively. The decrease in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to lower employee-related costs.
On a year-to-date basis, the corporate overhead element of SG&A amounted to $140.2 million in 2022 compared to $168.6 million in 2021. Excluding acquisition-related and other charges of $16.8 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and $19.1 million for the six months ended July 3, 2021, the corporate overhead element of SG&A was $123.4 million and $149.5 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 and July 3, 2021, respectively, primarily driven by the same factor discussed above.

2022 OUTLOOK
This outlook discussion is intended to provide broad insight into the Company's near-term earnings and cash flow generation prospects. The Company is revising its 2022 diluted earnings per share outlook to $0.80 - $2.05 on a diluted GAAP basis, from $7.20 - $8.30, and on an adjusted diluted EPS basis to $5.00 to $6.00 from $9.50 to $10.50. Free cash flow is expected to be approximately $0.4 billion to $1.0 billion in the second half of the year including tax payments of $0.5 billion to $0.6 billion associated with Security divestitures. Excluding such payments, cash generation is expected to be $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion driven by working capital reductions. The Company is focused on serving its customers by improving power tool supply while reducing inventory in other categories. The Company remains focused on disciplined capital allocation, and intends to balance share repurchase activity with its commitment to dividends and strong investment grade credit ratings.
The Company has changed the following assumptions for 2022 from its prior outlook: lower second half revenue, primarily driven by slowing consumer demand in Tools & Outdoor and moderated expectations for price will approximate $4.25 of dilution to earnings per share; currency translation, other items below operating margin and second quarter performance will approximate $0.55 of dilution to earnings per share; the impact from plant production curtailments will approximate $0.50 to $0.70 of dilution to earnings per share; and the 2022 impact from cost savings initiatives will approximate $0.80 to $1.00 of accretion per diluted share.
The difference between the 2022 diluted earnings per share outlook and the diluted earnings per share range, excluding charges, is $3.95 to $4.20, consisting of acquisition-related and other charges. These forecasted charges primarily relate to restructuring expenses, a voluntary retirement program, the Russia business closure, integration-related costs, a non-cash impairment charge for Oil & Gas, and non-cash inventory step-up charges.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity, Sources and Uses of Capital: The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations and available lines of credit under various credit facilities.
Operating Activities: Cash flows used in operations were $443.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to cash provided by operations of $444.4 million in the corresponding period of 2021, primarily driven by lower payable balances and lower earnings. Year-to-date cash flows used in operations were $1.685 billion in 2022 compared to cash provided by operations of $286.6 million in 2021. The year-over-year change was mainly attributable to lower payable balances, lower earnings, and higher inventory levels due to the impact of softer demand and the dwindling effects of supply chain constraints.
Free Cash Flow: Free cash flow, as defined in the table below, was an outflow of $589.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to and inflow of $339.3 million in the corresponding period of 2021. On a year-to-date basis, free cash flow was an outflow of $1.971 billion in 2022 compared to an inflow of $93.2 million in 2021.The decrease in free cash flow during both periods were due to the same factors discussed above in operating activities. The Company has implemented significant production curtailments to slow finished goods manufacturing and expects inventory to decline sequentially beginning in the third quarter of 2022. Management considers free cash flow an important indicator of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and provide dividends to shareowners, and is useful information for investors. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common and preferred stock and business acquisitions, among other items.

Year-to-date cash flows used in investing activities totaled $317.7 million in 2022 primarily due to capital and software expenditures of $285.5 million and acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, of $45.6 million. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $256.7 million in the first half of 2021, primarily due to capital and software expenditures of $193.4 million and net investment hedge settlements of $52.6 million.
48
Financing Activities: Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $608.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 primarily driven by net short-term borrowings of $746.6 million, partially offset by cash dividend payments on common stock of $114.0 million. Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $853.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 primarily driven by the Series C Preferred Stock redemption and conversion for $750.0 million and cash dividend payments on common stock of $111.6 million.
Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $2.034 billion in the first quarter of 2022 primarily driven by net short-term borrowings of $3.591 billion and proceeds from debt issuances, net of fees, of $992.6 million, partially offset by share repurchases of $2.314 billion and cash dividend payments on common stock of $230.3 million. Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $948.3 million in the first half of 2021 primarily driven by by the Series C Preferred Stock redemption and conversion for $750.0 million and cash dividend payments on common stock of $221.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from issuances of common stock of $100.4 million.
Credit Ratings & Liquidity:
The Company maintains strong investment grade credit ratings from the major U.S. rating agencies on its senior unsecured debt (S&P A, Fitch A-, Moody's Baa1), as well as its commercial paper program (S&P A-1, Fitch F1, Moody's P-2). There were no changes to any of the Company's credit ratings, however Moody's Corporation changed the Company's outlook from "stable" to "negative" during the second quarter of 2022. Failure to maintain strong investment grade credit rating levels could adversely affect the Company’s cost of funds, liquidity and access to capital markets, but would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access its existing committed credit facilities.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $282.3 million and $142.1 million as of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively, which was primarily held in the U.S.
As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), the Company's tax liability related to the one-time transition tax associated with unremitted foreign earnings and profits totaled $252 million at July 2, 2022. The Act permits a U.S. company to elect to pay the net tax liability interest-free over a period of up to eight years. The Company has considered the implications of paying the required one-time transition tax and believes it will not have a material impact on its liquidity.
The Company has a $3.5 billion commercial paper program which includes Euro denominated borrowings in addition to U.S. Dollars. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $3.3 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively.
The Company has a five-year $2.5 billion committed credit facility (the “5-Year Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the 5-Year Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars, Euros or Pounds Sterling. A sub-limit amount of $814.3 million is designated for swing line advances which may be drawn in Euros pursuant to the terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and specific terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 5-Year Credit Agreement by the earlier of September 8, 2026 or upon termination. The 5-Year Credit Agreement is designated to be a liquidity back-stop for the Company's $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had not drawn on its five-year committed credit facility.
The Company has a 364-Day $1.0 billion committed credit facility (the "364-Day Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars or Euros and bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin dependent upon the denomination of the borrowing and pursuant to the terms of the 364-Day Credit Agreement. The Company must repay all advances under the 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of September 7, 2022 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. The 364-Day Credit Agreement serves as part of the liquidity back-stop for the Company’s $3.5 billion U.S. Dollar and Euro commercial paper program. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had not drawn on its 364-Day committed credit facility.

Borrowings under the Second 364-Day Credit Agreement may be made in U.S. Dollars and Euros and bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin determined at the time of the borrowing. The Company must repay all advances under the Second 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of November 15, 2022 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary

of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. As of July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had not drawn on its Second 364-Day Credit Agreement.
In January 2022, the Company executed a third 364-Day $2.5 billion committed credit facility (the "Third 364-Day Credit Agreement"). Borrowings under the Third 364-Day Credit Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars and bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin determined at the time of the borrowing. The Company must repay all advances under the Third 364-Day Credit Agreement by the earlier of January 25, 2023 or upon termination. The Company may, however, convert all advances outstanding upon termination into a term loan that shall be repaid in full no later than the first anniversary of the termination date provided that the Company, among other things, pays a fee to the administrative agent for the account of each lender. As of July 2, 2022, the Company had $2.5 billion outstanding on its Third 364-Day Credit Agreement.
In February 2022, the Company issued $500.0 million of senior unsecured term notes maturing February 24, 2025 ("2025 Term Notes") and $500.0 million of senior unsecured term notes maturing May 15, 2032 (“2032 Term Notes”). The 2025 Term Notes will accrue interest at a fixed rate of 2.3% per annum and the 2032 Term Notes at a fixed rate of 3.0% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future unsecured unsubordinated debt. The Company received total net proceeds from this offering of approximately $992.6 million, net of approximately $7.4 million of underwriting expenses and other fees associated with the transaction. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness under the commercial paper facilities.
In November 2019, the Company issued 7,500,000 Equity Units with a total notional value of $750 million ("2019 Equity Units"). Each unit has a stated amount of $100 and initially consists of a three-year forward stock purchase contract ("2022 Purchase Contracts") for the purchase of a variable number of shares of common stock, on November 15, 2022, for a price of $100, and a 10% beneficial ownership interest in one share of 0% Series D Cumulative Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, without par, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share ("Series D Preferred Stock"). The Company received approximately $735 million in cash proceeds from the 2019 Equity Units, net of offering expenses and underwriting costs and commissions, and issued 750,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The proceeds were used, together with cash on hand, to redeem the 2052 Junior Subordinated Debentures in December 2019. The Company also used $19 million of the proceeds to enter into capped call transactions utilized to hedge potential economic dilution. On and after November 15, 2022, the Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock at the option of the holder. At the election of the Company, upon conversion, the Company may deliver cash, common stock, or a combination thereof. On or after December 22, 2022, the Company may elect to redeem for cash, all or any portion of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. If the Company calls the Series D Preferred Stock for redemption, holders may convert their shares immediately preceding the redemption date. Upon a successful remarketing of the Series D Preferred Stock (the "Remarketed Series D Preferred Stock"), the Company will receive additional cash proceeds of $750 million and issue shares of Remarketed Series D Preferred Stock. The Company pays the holders of the 2022 Purchase Contracts quarterly contract adjustment payments, which commenced February 15, 2020. As of July 2, 2022, the present value of the contract adjustment payments was approximately $19 million.
In March 2015, the Company entered into a forward share purchase contract with a financial institution counterparty for 3,645,510 shares of common stock. The contract obligates the Company to pay $350 million, plus an additional amount related to the forward component of the contract. In February 2022, the Company amended the settlement date to April 2023, or earlier at the Company's option.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has identified that certain expenses it incurred in previous years constituted undisclosed perquisites. The Company has voluntarily disclosed this information to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is cooperating with the SEC’s investigation of this matter.
For the named executive officers in fiscal year 2021, the Company has calculated the amount of the undisclosed perquisites to be approximately $204,000 in 2020 and approximately $335,000 in 2019. These amounts relate principally to use of corporate aircraft and have been included in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2022 annual shareholders meeting.
The Company is committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and is continuously focused on ensuring the effectiveness of its policies, procedures, and controls. The Company is in the process, with the assistance of professional advisors, of reviewing and further enhancing relevant policies, procedures, and controls.
Currently the Company does not believe that this matter will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations, although it is possible that a loss related to this matter may be incurred. Given the ongoing nature of this matter, management cannot predict the duration, scope, or outcome of the SEC’s investigation or estimate the potential magnitude of any such loss or range of loss, or the cost of the ongoing SEC investigation. Any determination that the Company’s expense and perquisite reporting practices were not in compliance with existing laws or regulations could result in the imposition of fines, civil or criminal penalties, equitable remedies, including disgorgement, injunctive relief, or other sanctions against the Company. The Company also may become a party to litigation or other legal proceedings over these matters.
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims, including product liability, environmental, intellectual property, contract and commercial, advertising, employment and distributor claims, and administrative proceedings. The Company does not expect that the resolution of these matters will have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2022.

(a)Shares of common stock in this column totaling 7,326 for the month ended May 7, 2022, were deemed surrendered to the Company by participants in various benefit plans of the Company to satisfy the participants’ taxes related to vesting or delivery of time-vesting restricted share units under those plans.
(b)On February 16, 2022, the Board of Directors terminated the previous repurchase program (the "April 2021 Program") and approved a new repurchase program of up to the greater of (i) 20.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock; and (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate that can be purchased for an amount up to $2.5 billion (the "February 2022 Program"). On April 21, 2022, the Board terminated the February 2022 Program and approved a new share repurchase program of up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock (the “April 2022 Program”). The April 2022 Program does not have an expiration date. The Company may repurchase shares under the
54
April 2022 Program through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or share repurchase programs, including one or more accelerated share repurchase programs (under which an initial payment for the entire repurchase amount may be made at the inception of the program). Such repurchases may be funded from cash on hand, short-term borrowings or other sources of cash at the Company’s discretion, and the Company is under no obligation to repurchase any shares pursuant to the repurchase program. The currently authorized shares available for repurchase under the April 2022 Program do not include (i) approximately 3.6 million shares reserved and authorized for purchase under the Company’s approved repurchase program in place prior to the April 2022 Program relating to a forward share purchase contract entered into in March 2015; or (ii) the shares reserved and authorized for repurchase under the February 2022 Program relating to the remaining shares delivered pursuant to the ASR (defined below) in the second quarter of 2022. In March 2022, the Company executed an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") with a notional amount of $2.0 billion, which was funded through borrowings under one of its existing 364-Day committed credit facilities. The ASR terms provided for an initial delivery of 85% of the total notional share equivalent at execution, or approximately 10.8 million shares. The final delivery of approximately 3.2 million shares was completed in May 2022. The total amount of shares delivered were determined at the end of the calculation period based on the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's stock (inclusive of a VWAP discount) during that period.
