On July26, 2017, Tupperware Brands Corporation (the "Company" or the "Registrant") issued an earnings release. A copy of the release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
Following a review of the Company’s proposed restructuring program by the Audit, Finance and Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors at its meeting on July 24, 2017, and to the Committee’s guidance, the Company announced today that it expects to take additional significant restructuring actions over the next two to three years to rationalize its supply chain and to adjust the cost base of several of its marketing units. These actions are in addition to the Company’s decision to wind down its Beauticontrol unit, which was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2017.
Related to the Beauticontrol and other restructuring actions, the Company recorded $32.6 million pretax of costs in the second quarter of 2017. In addition, it expects to record $40 to $45 million of pretax restructuring costs in the second half of 2017 and, including the 2017 amounts, a total of $100 to $110 million through 2018 or 2019, excluding related sales of excess fixed assets through which up to $35 million of proceeds are expected to be realized. Of the total $100 to $110 million in costs, the Company estimates that about 80% relates to severance and benefits, while the balance is predominantly related to costs to exit leases and other contracts, as well as write-offs of excess assets for which there are not expected to be disposal proceeds. The 2017 cash outflow related to the restructuring actions, including the wind down of Beauticontrol, is expected to be about $25 million, and including this amount, the total cash outflow in connection with the actions over time is expected to be $90 to $100 million before proceeds from the sale of fixed assets connected with the restructuring actions. The annualized benefit of these actions, once fully implemented, is expected to be approximately $35 million, with a small amount of benefit in 2017 and about two-thirds of the annualized benefit to be realized in 2018.
The cost estimates set forth in this Item 2.05, including the exhibit furnished to Item 9.01, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s expectations and plans at the time such statements are made, speak only as of the dates they are made and are susceptible to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors.
