FOOD BUSINESS

Notes to Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements

 

1. Nature of operations and basis of presentation

The Reckitt Benckiser food business (“the Food Business”) consists of legal entities, a branch and certain assets and liabilities which are fully owned by Reckitt Benckiser Group plc (“RB”).

The Food Business is engaged in the consumer foods business and manufactures primarily sauces, with a manufacturing facility located in Springfield, USA.

The Food Business has not comprised a separate legal entity or group of entities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

The unaudited combined interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information. The unaudited combined interim financial statements have been prepared on a “carve-out” basis from the accounting records of RB using historical results of operations, assets and liabilities attributable to the Food Business and include allocations of expenses from RB. The combined interim financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion of management, they contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Food Business’s financial position as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the results of operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, and the cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016, has been derived from the audited combined financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The accompanying combined interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

These combined interim financial statements are presented in millions of dollars (‘$’).

Allocation from Parent

The combined interim financial statements include expense allocations for certain functions provided by RB, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, tax, information technology, human resources, communications, employee benefits and incentives. These expenses have been allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount, activity or other relevant measures. These costs have been allocated to the Food Business in all periods presented and are included within cost of goods sold, distribution costs and administrative expenses in the combined interim financial statements. Cost allocations amounted to $13.9 million and $11.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively.

Additionally, the combined interim financial statements of the Food Business also reflect a portion of RB group costs relating to its operations as a public company including, but not limited to, corporate governance and board oversight. These costs have not historically been allocated to the Food Business, however they have been included in the combined interim carve out financial statements in all periods presented. These cost allocations are included in administrative expenses within the combined interim financial statements and amounted to $4.5 million and $6.1 million for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the combined interim financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The expenses and cost allocations have been determined on a basis that the Food Business considers to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Food Business during the periods presented.

Further, amounts of $4.3 million and $5.3 million for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively have been recharged to another part of RB as a result of fully including the cost base related to the Springfield LC leased warehouse within the combined interim financial statements. The amounts recharged out are considered a reasonable reflection of overall utilization of the warehouse and are included as a deduction to distribution expenses within the combined interim financial statements.

 

F-7


However, the amounts recorded for the allocations are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the combined interim financial statements had the Food Business been an entity that operated independently.

 

2. Summary of accounting principles

The combined interim financial statements have been prepared for the Food Business on the basis that it was historically managed by RB. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between entities within the Food Business have been eliminated. All significant outstanding balances between the Food Business and RB entities are included in the combined interim financial statements within net assets, included within due to/from Related parties on the face of the Balance Sheet.

The accounting policies of the Food Business are described in the audited combined financial statements of the Food Business for the year ended December 31, 2016 and have been applied consistently in these unaudited combined interim financial statements. There are no new accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not adopted in these unaudited combined interim financial statements that are expected to have a material impact on the unaudited combined interim financial statements.

The Food Business performs an annual impairment test at the end of each financial year or more frequently if impairment indicators are present in Goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles.

 

4. Pension and Retirement Plans

Employees of the Food Business participate in both defined contribution pension plans and defined benefit pension plans.

Defined benefit plans

Eligible employees of the Food Business are members of the Retirement Plan for Union Employees of Reckitt Benckiser, LLC (the “Union Pension Plan”), which is a defined benefit pension plan. Certain other current and former employees of the Food Business are members of a multi-employer plan operated by RB, the non-union defined benefit pension plan. Additionally, certain senior employees are members of the Reckitt Benckiser LLC executive pension plan.

The Food Business’s accounts for pension and retirement plans in accordance with the authoritative guidance for retirement benefit compensation.

The Food Business applies defined benefit plan accounting for its participation in the Union Pension Plan. The Food Business measures its plan assets at fair value and the obligations at the present value of the estimated payments to plan participants. Plan assets consist of a mix of equities, fixed income funds and real estate funds. Participants earn benefits based on their service and pay. Those estimated payment amounts are determined based on assumptions. Actuarial gains and losses are fully recognized in the combined statement of income.

The following represents the components of net periodic (benefit) cost:

 

     June 30, 2017      June 30, 2016  

Service cost

     1.7        1.6

F-9


The Food Business accounts for its participation in the non-union defined benefit pension plan, the Reckitt Benckiser LLC executive pension plan and other post-retirement plans as multi-employer plans.

Contributions

The Food Business’ policy for funding the Union Pension Plan is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements under employee benefit and tax laws. No contributions were made in the interim period to June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Amounts for post-employment benefits excluding the Union Pension Plan are included in administrative expenses within the combined statement of income and totaled $1.7 million and $1.6 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

5. Share-based Compensation

Certain of the Food Business’ employees participate in RB’s various incentive plans. Net income for June 30, 2017 and 2016 included pre-tax share-based compensation expense, within administrative expenses, of $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which related to share options and the restricted share scheme.

 

6. Commitments and Contingencies

On July 15, 2017, the Food Business executed a settlement agreement with the United Food and Commercial Workers and Employers Food Trades and Industrial Health and Welfare Plan and its trustees (the “fund”) regarding the disputed Health & Welfare contributions due under the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The settlement agreement comprised of $2.8 million for the period to June 30, 2017 plus an interest charge of $0.3 million. Additionally, an amount of $2.7 million was also agreed for the years 2018 – 2021.    

The combined interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 include a charge within administrative expenses of $0.3 million. The liability recognized at June 30, 2017 was $3.1 million and is included within accrued payroll and other employee related costs. The charge for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the liability recognized at December 31, 2016 was $2.8 million.

As of June 30, 2017, there were no other material changes in the Food Business’s legal proceedings, contractual obligations and commercial commitments outside the ordinary course of business, as set out in the audited combined financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively.

 

7. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 26% for the six months to June 30, 2017 and 24% for the six months to June 30, 2016.

The Food Business operates in an international environment, accordingly, the combined effective tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in various locations and the applicable tax rates. Appropriate provisions have been made in respect of any uncertain tax positions that exist in relation to the Food Business.

 

8. Related Party and Parent Company Transactions

Historically, RB has provided services to the Food Business. These services and expenses include finance, legal, tax, treasury, information technology, human resources, communications, employee benefits and incentives, insurance and share based compensation. The combined statements of income also include a portion of RB’s group costs relating to its operations as a public company, including, but not limited to, corporate governance and board oversight, not historically allocated to the Food Business.

These service charges and corporate expense allocations are based on a number of utilization measures including headcount, revenue, and operating profit. Management believes that the methods used to allocate expenses to the Food Business are reasonable.

The following table sets out the total expenses included in the combined statement of income for corporate allocations:

 

     June 30, 2017      June 30, 2016

Total corporate recharges out included in:

     

Distribution expenses

     4.3        5.3  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

RB uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, none of the cash, cash equivalents, debt or related interest expense at the corporate level has been assigned to the Food Business in these combined financial statements, with the exception of that cash and inter-company debt that is held by the legal entities that comprise the Food Business. All intracompany transactions within the Food Business have been eliminated. All inter-company transactions between the Food Business, RB and other related entities not settled during the year are considered to be outstanding at the balance sheet date and have been included in these combined financial statements as due from or to related parties.

The following table sets out the total amount of trading transactions and balances with other RB entities (excluding allocations and recharges out as set out above) included in the combined statement of income and balance sheet, respectively:
