Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company’s portfolio of brands are organized into the following reportable segments.

•Active Group, consisting of Merrell® footwear and apparel, Saucony® footwear and apparel, Sweaty Betty® activewear, and Chaco® footwear;

•Work Group, consisting of Wolverine® footwear and apparel, Cat® footwear, Bates® uniform footwear, Harley-Davidson® footwear and HYTEST® safety footwear;

The Company's operating segments are the Active Group, Work Group, and Sweaty Betty®. Sweaty Betty® and the Active Group were evaluated and combined into one reportable segment because they meet the similar economic characteristics and qualitative aggregation criteria set forth in the relevant accounting guidance

Kids' footwear offerings from Saucony®, Sperry®, Keds®, Merrell®, Hush Puppies® and Cat® are included with the applicable brand.

The Company also reports “Other” and “Corporate” categories. Other consists of Sperry® footwear, Keds® footwear, Hush Puppies® footwear and apparel, the Company’s leather marketing operations, sourcing operations that include third-party commission revenues, multi-branded direct-to-consumer retail stores and the Stride Rite® licensed business. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2023, Sperry®, Keds®, and Hush Puppies® financial results were reported in the Lifestyle Group. The Lifestyle Group is no longer a reportable segment based upon how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources to and assesses performance of the Company's operating segments. The Corporate category consists of gains on the sale of businesses and trademarks, unallocated corporate expenses, such as corporate employee costs, corporate facility costs, reorganization activities, impairment of long-lived assets and environmental and other related costs.

The reportable segments are engaged in designing, manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, licensing and distributing branded footwear, apparel and accessories. Revenue for the reportable segments includes revenue from the sale of branded footwear, apparel and accessories to third-party customers; revenue from third-party licensees and distributors; and revenue from the Company’s direct-to-consumer businesses. The Company’s reportable segments are determined based on how the Company internally reports and evaluates financial information used to make operating decisions.

Company management uses various financial measures to evaluate the performance of the reportable segments. The following is a summary of certain key financial measures for the respective fiscal periods indicated.

Total	$	214.5	$	310.9	$	267.2

The Company does not believe that it is dependent upon any single customer because no customer accounts for more than 10% of consolidated revenue in any year.

During fiscal 2023, the Company sourced 100% of its footwear products and apparel and accessories from third-party suppliers, located primarily in the Asia Pacific region. While changes in suppliers could cause delays in manufacturing and a possible loss of sales, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading designer, marketer and licensor of a broad range of quality casual footwear and apparel; performance outdoor and athletic footwear and apparel; kids’ footwear; industrial work shoes, boots and apparel; and uniform shoes and boots. The Company’s portfolio of owned and licensed brands includes: Bates®, Cat®, Chaco®, Harley-Davidson®, Hush Puppies®, HYTEST®, Merrell®, Saucony®, Sperry®, Stride Rite®, Sweaty Betty® and Wolverine®. The Company’s products are marketed worldwide through owned operations, through licensing and distribution arrangements with third parties, and through joint ventures. The Company also operates retail stores and eCommerce sites to market both its own brands and branded footwear and apparel from other manufacturers.

Effective February 4, 2023, the Company completed the sale of the Keds® business. See Note 20 for further discussion.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a multi-year licensing agreement of the Hush Puppies® brand in the United States and Canada. As part of this agreement, the Company agreed to sell inventory and provide certain transition services to the licensee. In addition, the Company completed the sale of Hush Puppies® trademarks, patents, copyrights, and domains in China, Hong Kong, and Macau in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company will continue to own the Hush Puppies® brand throughout the rest of the world. See Note 20 for further discussion.

Effective August 23, 2023, the Company completed the sale of the U.S. performance leathers business and effective December 28, 2023, the Company completed the sale of the Asia-based performance leathers business. See Note 20 for further discussion.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wolverine World Wide, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and any variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period that ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31. Fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 each had 52 weeks.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company identifies the performance obligation in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue upon completion of the performance obligation.

Control of the Company's goods and services, and associated revenue, are transferred to customers at a point in time. The Company’s contract revenue consists of wholesale revenue and direct-to-consumer revenue. Wholesale revenue is recognized for products sourced by the Company when control transfers to the customer generally occurring upon the shipment or delivery of branded products to the customer. Direct-to-consumer includes eCommerce revenue that is recognized for products sourced by the Company when control transfers to the customer once the related goods have been shipped and retail store revenue is recognized at time of sale. The shipment of goods, or point of purchase for retail store sales, was evaluated to best represent when control transfers based on the Company’s right of payment for the goods, the customer’s legal title to the asset, the transfer of physical possession and the customer having the risks and rewards of the goods.

Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs that are charged to and reimbursed by a customer are recognized as revenue, while the related

expenses incurred by the Company are recorded as cost of goods sold. The Company has elected the practical expedient to treat shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the goods transfers to the customer as fulfillment activities.

Payment terms for the Company's revenue vary by sales channel. Standard credit terms apply to the Company's wholesale receivables, while payment is rendered at the time of sale within the direct-to-consumer channel. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable (contract assets), and customer advances (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. Generally, billing occurs commensurate to revenue recognition resulting in contract assets. See Note 6 for additional information.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the actual product costs, including inbound freight charges and certain outbound freight charges, purchasing, sourcing, inspection and receiving costs. Warehousing costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, except for certain materials that are expensed the first time that the advertising takes place. Advertising expenses were $169.3 million, $220.7 million and $195.4 million for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Prepaid advertising totaled $2.6 million and $2.7 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the guidance in ASC 260, the Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are participating securities and must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable that represents estimated losses resulting from its customers’ failure to make required payments. Company management evaluates the allowance for credit losses based on a review of current customer status and historical collection experience along with current and reasonable supportable forecasts of future economic conditions.

Inventories

The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the LIFO method for certain domestic finished product inventories. Cost is determined using the FIFO method for all raw materials, work-in-process and finished product inventories in foreign countries and certain domestic finished product inventories. The average cost of inventory is used for finished product inventories of the Company’s direct-to-consumer business and Sweaty Betty® inventory. The Company has applied these inventory cost valuation methods consistently from year to year.

The Company reduces the carrying value of its inventories to the lower of cost or net realizable value for excess or obsolete inventories based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If the Company were to determine that the estimated realizable value of its inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, the Company would provide a reserve for such difference as a charge to cost of sales. If actual market conditions are different from those projected, adjustments to those inventory reserves may be required. The adjustments would increase or decrease the Company’s cost of sales and net income in the period in which they were realized or recorded. Inventory quantities are verified at various times throughout the year by performing physical inventory counts and subsequently comparing those results to perpetual inventory balances. If the Company determines that adjustments to the inventory quantities are appropriate, an adjustment to the Company’s cost of goods sold and inventory is recorded in the period in which such determination was made.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated on the basis of cost and include expenditures for buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, material handling systems, equipment and computer hardware and software. Normal repairs and

maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method. The depreciable lives range from 14 to 20 years for buildings, from 5 to 15 years for leasehold improvements, from 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and from 3 to 10 years for software.

Leases

The Company’s leases consist primarily of corporate offices, retail stores, distribution centers, showrooms, vehicles and office equipment. The Company leases assets in the normal course of business to meet its current and future needs while providing flexibility to its operations. The Company enters into contracts with third parties to lease specifically identified assets. Most of the Company’s leases have contractually specified renewal periods. Most retail store leases have early termination clauses that the Company can elect if stipulated sales amounts are not achieved. The Company determines the lease term for each lease based on the terms of each contract and factors in renewal and early termination options if such options are reasonably certain to be exercised.

Under FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for lease components and nonlease components associated with individual leases as a single lease component for all of its leases. In addition, the Company has elected to account for multiple lease components as a single lease component. The Company’s leases may include variable lease costs such as payments based on changes to an index, payments based on a percentage of retail store sales, and maintenance, utilities, shared marketing or other service costs that are paid directly to the lessor under terms of the lease. The Company recognizes variable lease payments when the amounts are incurred and determinable. The Company has elected to account for leases of less than one year as short-term leases and accordingly does not recognize a right-of-use asset or lease liability for these leases. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company subleases certain portions of leased offices and distribution centers that exceed the Company’s current operational needs. Since the Company utilizes the majority of the leased space and retains the obligation to the lessor, the underlying leases continue to be accounted for as operating leases. Sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease and is recognized in other expense (income), net on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognizes a lease liability in current and noncurrent liabilities equal to the present value of the fixed future lease payments using an incremental borrowing rate as of the commencement date of each lease. The incremental borrowing rate is based on an interest rate that the Company would normally pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and an amount equal to the lease payments. The Company also recognizes a right-of-use asset, which is equal to the lease liability as of December 30, 2023 adjusted for the remaining balance of accrued rent and unamortized lease incentives.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, legal and other third-party costs associated with obtaining commitments for financing that result in a closing of such financings for the Company. Deferred financing costs related to fixed term borrowings are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred financing costs related to revolving credit facilities are recorded as an other noncurrent asset in the consolidated balance sheet. These costs are amortized into earnings through interest expense over the terms of the respective agreements.

Derivatives

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"), which requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value by establishing criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Refer to Note 11 for further discussion regarding the Company's derivative arrangements and derivative accounting.

Equity Method Investments

Equity method investments where the Company owns a non-controlling interest, but exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company's original cost of investment is adjusted for the Company's share of equity in the earnings of the equity investee.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Indefinite-lived intangibles include trademarks and trade names. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to impairment tests at least annually. The Company reviews the carrying amounts of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by reporting unit at least annually, or when indicators of impairment are present, to determine if such assets may be impaired. The Company includes assumptions such as a discount rate and expected future operating performance, which includes forecasted revenue growth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margin and cost of capital, which are derived from internal projections and operating plans, as

part of a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate fair value. If the carrying value of these assets is not recoverable, based on the discounted cash flow analysis, management compares the fair value of the assets to the carrying value. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are considered impaired if the recorded value exceeds the fair value.

The Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset are less than their carrying value. The Company would not be required to quantitatively determine the fair value unless the Company determines, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than the carrying value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be recoverable. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment amount to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value.

The Company recorded $37.3 million in non-cash impairment charges on certain Corporate U.S. and U.K. office long-lived property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, primarily resulting from divestitures and consolidation of U.S. and U.K. offices, to adjust the carrying amount of the assets to estimated fair value. Fair value was estimated based on the discounted cash flows of estimated rental income from subleases net of estimated expenses. The Company incurred $1.9 million in non-cash impairment charges on certain Sperry® retail store assets where the estimated future cash flows did not support the net book value of the assets. The following table provides details related to asset impairment charges recorded during 2023:


(In millions)	December 30, 2023
Lease right-of-use assets impairment	$	28.6
Property, plant and equipment impairment	10.6
Indefinite-lived trade name impairment (1)	38.3
Held for sale impairment of carrying value (2)	96.8
Impairment of Sperry® assets not sold (2)	11.0
Total impairment of long-lived assets	$	185.3

(1)See Note 4 for information related to the Indefinite-lived trade name impairment recorded in fiscal 2023.

(2)See Note 20 for information related to the held for sale carrying value impairment and impairment of Sperry® assets not sold recorded in fiscal 2023.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which provides a consistent definition of fair value, focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier hierarchy for fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:


Level 1:						Fair value is measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2:						Fair value is measured using either direct or indirect inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3:						Fair value is measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

Environmental

The Company establishes a reserve for estimated environmental remediation costs based upon the evaluation of currently-available facts with respect to each individual affected site. The costs are recorded on an undiscounted basis when they are probable and reasonably estimable, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies, the Company’s commitment to a plan of action, or approval by regulatory agencies. Liabilities for estimated costs of environmental remediation are based primarily upon third-party environmental studies, other internal analysis and the extent of the contamination and the nature of

required remedial actions at each site. The Company records adjustments to the estimated costs if there are changes in the scope of the required remediation activity, extent of contamination, governmental regulations or remediation technologies. Environmental costs relating to existing conditions caused by past operations that do not contribute to current or future revenues are expensed as incurred.

Assets related to potential recoveries from other responsible parties are recognized when a definitive agreement is reached and collection of cash is realizable. Recoveries of covered losses under insurance policies are recognized only when realization of the claim is deemed probable.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims related to the environmental matters described in Note 17. The Company routinely assesses the legal and factual circumstances of each matter and the likelihood of any adverse outcomes in these matters, as well as ranges of possible losses. Assessments of lawsuits and claims can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company accrues an estimated liability for legal proceeding claims that are both probable and estimable and reserves may change in future periods due to new developments in each matter. For further discussion, refer to Note 17.

Retirement Benefits

The determination of the obligation and expense for retirement benefits is dependent on the selection of certain actuarial assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include, among others, the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, mortality rates and rates of increase in compensation. These assumptions are reviewed with the Company’s actuaries and updated annually based on relevant external and internal factors and information, including, but not limited to, long-term expected asset returns, rates of termination, regulatory requirements and plan changes. See Note 13 for additional information. The Company has elected to measure its defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of December 31 of each year, regardless of the Company's actual fiscal year end date, which is the Saturday nearest to December 31.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The Company generally grants restricted stock or units (“Restricted Awards”), performance-based restricted stock or units (“Performance Awards”) and stock options under its stock-based compensation plans. All stock-based awards are accounted for based on their respective grant date fair values. Compensation cost for all awards expected to vest is recognized over the vesting period, including accelerated recognition for retirement-eligible employees.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on the geographic dispersion of the earnings reported in the consolidated financial statements. A deferred income tax asset or liability is determined by applying currently-enacted tax laws and rates to the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company determines it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the valuation allowance adjustment to the deferred tax assets will be charged to earnings in the period in which the Company makes such a determination. The Company includes Global Intangible Low Tax Income ("GILTI") as a current period tax expense when incurred.

The Company records an increase in liabilities for income tax accruals associated with tax benefits claimed on tax returns but not recognized for financial statement purposes (unrecognized tax benefits). In determining whether an uncertain tax position exists, the Company determines, based solely on its technical merits, whether the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, and if so, a tax benefit is measured on a cumulative probability basis that is more likely than not to be realized upon the ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest expense and income tax expense, respectively.

Foreign Currency

For most of the Company’s international subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rate. Operating statement amounts are translated at average exchange rates for each period. The cumulative translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations and were not material for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Business Combination

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, the consolidated financial statements reflect the operations of an acquired business starting from the acquisition date.

All assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill. Contingent consideration, if any, is included in the purchase price and is recognized at its fair value on the acquisition date. During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

The determination of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities requires estimates and the use of valuation techniques and requires management to make judgments that may involve the use of significant estimates. For intangible assets acquired in a business combination, the Company typically uses the income method. Significant estimates used in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates and discount rates, among other items. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used, the amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements may be exposed to potential impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill as discussed in the "Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles" accounting policy.

Revenue From Contracts With Customers [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition and Performance Obligations

The Company reports disaggregated revenue for the wholesale and direct-to-consumer sales channels, which are reconciled to the Company’s reportable segments. The wholesale channel includes royalty revenues, which operates in a similar manner as other wholesale revenues due to similar oversight and management, customer base, the performance obligation (footwear and apparel goods) and point in time completion of the performance obligation.

The Company has agreements to license symbolic intellectual property with minimum guarantees or fixed consideration. The Company is due $14.0 million of remaining fixed transaction price under its license agreements as of December 30, 2023, which it expects to recognize per the terms of its contracts over the course of time through December 2028. The Company has elected to omit the remaining variable consideration under its license agreements given the Company recognizes revenue equal to what it has the right to invoice and that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date.

Reserves for Variable Consideration

Revenue is recorded at the net sales price (“transaction price”), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include trade discounts and allowances, product returns, customer markdowns, customer rebates and other sales incentives relating to the sale of the Company’s products. These reserves, as detailed below, are based on the amounts earned, or to be claimed on the related sales. These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes, which are probability-weighted in accordance with the expected value method for relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. Revenue recognized during fiscal years 2023 and 2022 related to the Company’s contract liabilities was nominal.

The Company’s contract balances are as follows:


(In millions)	December 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Product returns reserve	$	13.1	$	15.3
Customer markdowns reserve	5.1		2.6
Other sales incentives reserve	4.2		3.3
Customer rebates liability	14.7		19.8
Customer advances liability	6.8		9.1

The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from initial estimates. If actual results in the future vary from initial estimates, the Company subsequently adjusts these estimates, which would affect net revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, the Company offers limited product return rights for various return scenarios. The Company estimates the amount of product sales that may be returned by customers and records this estimate as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized, and an offsetting increase to other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes there is sufficient current and historical information to record an estimate of the expected value of product returns although actual returns could differ from recorded amounts. The estimated cost of inventory for product returns is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated cost of inventory for product returns was $6.1 million and $6.7 million at December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Customer Markdowns

Markdowns represent the estimated reserve resulting from commitments to sell products to the Company’s customers at prices lower than the list prices charged to customers who directly purchase the product from the Company. Customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the product and the ultimate selling price to the end consumer. The reserve is established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and a reduction to trade receivables, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

Other Sales Incentives

The Company accrues for other customer allowances for certain customers that purchase required volumes or meet other criteria. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and a reduction to trade receivables, net on the consolidated balance sheets depending on the nature of the item.

Customer Rebates

The Company accrues for customer rebates related to customers who purchase required volumes or meet other criteria. These reserves are established in the same period that the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and an establishment of a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

Customer Advances

The Company recognizes a liability for amounts received from customers before revenue is recognized. Customer advances are recognized in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

- Definition

The entire disclosure of revenue from contract with customer to transfer good or service and to transfer nonfinancial asset. Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer. Excludes insurance and lease contracts.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Retirement Plans

RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company has two non-contributory, defined benefit pension plans that provide retirement benefits to less than half of its domestic employees. The Company’s principal defined benefit pension plan, which is closed to new participants, provides benefits based on the employee’s years of service and final average earnings. The second plan is closed to new participants and no longer accrue future benefits.

The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) for certain current and former employees that entitles a participating employee to receive payments from the Company following retirement based on the employee’s years of service and final average earnings (as defined in the SERP). Under the SERP, the employees can elect early retirement with a corresponding reduction in benefits. The Company also has individual deferred compensation agreements with certain former employees that entitle those employees to receive payments from the Company following retirement, generally for the duration of their lives. The Company maintains life insurance policies with a cash surrender value of $48.3 million at December 30, 2023 and $46.6 million at December 31, 2022 recognized as other assets on the consolidated balance sheets that are intended to partially fund deferred compensation benefits under the SERP and deferred compensation agreements.

The Company has two defined contribution 401(k) plans covering substantially all domestic employees that provide for discretionary Company contributions based on the amount of participant deferrals. The Company recognized expense for its

contributions to the defined contribution plans of $4.9 million, $5.6 million and $5.2 million in fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company also has certain defined contribution plans at foreign subsidiaries. Contributions to these plans were $1.6 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million in fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company also has a benefit plan at a foreign location that provides for retirement benefits based on years of service. The obligation recorded under this plan was $0.6 million at December 30, 2023 and $0.8 million at December 31, 2022 and was recognized as a deferred compensation liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

The following summarizes the status of and changes in the Company’s assets and related obligations for its pension plans (which include the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and the SERP) for the fiscal years 2023 and 2022:


	Fiscal Year
(In millions)	2023		2022
Change in projected benefit obligations:
Projected benefit obligations at beginning of the year	$	328.2	$	434.3
Service cost pertaining to benefits earned during the year	3.1		5.3
Interest cost on projected benefit obligations	17.8		13.2
Actuarial loss (gain)	15.7		(107.8)
Benefits paid to plan participants	(17.5)		(16.8)
Curtailment	(2.1)		—

Projected benefit obligations at end of the year	$	345.2	$	328.2
Change in fair value of pension assets:
Fair value of pension assets at beginning of the year	$	251.4	$	323.0
Actual return (loss) on plan assets	24.7		(58.7)

Company contributions - SERP	3.9		3.8
Benefits paid to plan participants	(17.3)		(16.7)

Fair value of pension assets at end of the year	$	262.7	$	251.4
Funded status	$	(82.5)	$	(76.8)
Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets:

Current liabilities	$	(4.1)	$	(3.9)
Accrued pension liabilities	(78.4)		(72.9)
Funded status of qualified defined benefit plans and SERP	$	(82.5)	$	(76.8)

Unrecognized net actuarial loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income was $10.7 million and $1.8 million, and amounts net of tax were $8.7 million and $1.7 million, as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligations for all defined benefit pension plans and the SERP were $334.7 million at December 30, 2023 and $315.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in benefit obligation for fiscal 2023 was the result of actuarial losses caused by changes to the discount rate. The actuarial loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and expected to be recognized in net periodic pension income during fiscal 2024 is $1.7 million.

The following is a summary of net pension and SERP expense recognized by the Company:


	Fiscal Year
(In millions)	2023		2022		2021
Service cost pertaining to benefits earned during the year	$	3.1	$	5.3	$	6.9
Interest cost on projected benefit obligations	17.8		13.2		12.8
Expected return on pension assets	(18.5)		(20.5)		(19.5)
Net amortization loss (gain)	(0.7)		11.3		13.8
Curtailment	(1.0)		—		—
Net pension expense	$	0.7	$	9.3	$	14.0
Less: SERP expense	3.9		3.8		5.7
Qualified defined benefit pension plans expense (income)	$	(3.2)	$	5.5	$	8.3

The non-service cost components of net pension expense is recorded in the Other expense (income), net line item on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation amounts and the net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s pension and post-retirement plans are as follows:


	Fiscal Year
	2023	2022
Weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at fiscal year-end:
Discount rate	5.30%	5.56%
Rate of compensation increase - pension	4.09%	4.13%
Rate of compensation increase - SERP	7.00%	7.00%
Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended:
Discount rate	5.56%	3.09%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets	6.88%	6.87%
Rate of compensation increase - pension	4.13%	4.18%
Rate of compensation increase - SERP	7.00%	7.00%

Unrecognized net actuarial losses exceeding certain corridors are amortized over one of two amortization periods, based on each plan's election. The amortization period is either a five-year period, unless the minimum amortization method based on average remaining service periods produces a higher amortization; or, over the average remaining life expectancy of participants expected to receive benefits. The Company utilizes a bond matching calculation to determine the discount rate. A hypothetical bond portfolio is created based on a presumed purchase of high-quality corporate bonds with maturities that match the plan’s expected future cash outflows. The discount rate is the resulting yield of the hypothetical bond portfolio. The discount rate is used in the calculation of the year-end pension liability and the service and interest cost for the subsequent year.

The long-term rate of return is based on overall market expectations for a balanced portfolio with an asset mix similar to the Company’s, utilizing historic returns for broad market and fixed income indices. The Company’s investment policy for plan assets uses a blended approach of U.S. and foreign equities combined with U.S. fixed income investments. The target investment allocations as of December 30, 2023 were 44% in equity securities and 56% in fixed income securities. Within the equity and fixed income classifications, the investments are diversified. The Company’s asset allocations by asset category and fair value measurement are as follows:


	December 30, 2023					December 31, 2022
(In millions)	Total			% of Total		Total			% of Total
Equity securities	$	122.7	1	46.7	%	$	112.2	1	44.7	%
Fixed income securities	85.8		1	32.7	%	90.0		1	35.8	%

Cash	52.4			19.9	%	46.6			18.5	%
Other	1.8		2	0.7	%	2.6		2	1.0	%
Fair value of plan assets	$	262.7		100.0	%	$	251.4		100.0	%

1In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), certain investments are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient. These assets have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

2In accordance with ASC 820, investments have been measured using valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable (Level 3). See Note 1 for additional information.

The Company does not expect to make any contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2024 and expects to make $4.1 million in contributions to the SERP in fiscal 2024.

Expected benefit payments for the fiscal years subsequent to December 30, 2023 are as follows:


(In millions)	2024		2025		2026		2027		2028		2029-2033
Expected benefit payments	$	19.2	$	20.0	$	20.6	$	21.2	$	21.6	$	114.2

DEBT

Total debt consists of the following obligations:


(In millions)	December 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Term Facility, due October 21, 2026	$	71.7	$	190.0


Senior Notes, 4.000% interest, due August 15, 2029	550.0		550.0
Borrowings under revolving credit agreements	305.0		425.0

Unamortized deferred financing costs	(5.9)		(7.0)
Total debt	$	920.8	$	1,158.0

The Company’s Credit Agreement provides for a term loan A facility (the “Term Facility”) and for a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The maturity date of the loans under the Senior Credit Facilities is October 21, 2026. The Credit Agreement provides for a debt capacity of up to an aggregate debt amount (including outstanding term loan principal and revolver commitment amounts in addition to permitted incremental debt) not to exceed $2.0 billion unless certain specified conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement are met.

The Term Facility requires quarterly principal payments with a balloon payment due on October 21, 2026. The scheduled principal payments due under the Term Facility over the next 12 months total $10.0 million as of December 30, 2023 and are recorded as current maturities of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company made payments towards the Term Facility in accordance with disposition proceeds language contained in the Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Facility allows the Company to borrow up to an aggregate amount of $1.0 billion. The Revolving Facility also includes a $100.0 million swingline subfacility and a $50.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Company had outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Facility of $6.6 million and $5.7 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These outstanding letters of credit reduce the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility.

The interest rates applicable to amounts outstanding under Term Facility and to U.S. dollar denominated amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility are, at the Company’s option, either (1) the Alternate Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 0.125% to 1.000%, or (2) the Eurocurrency Rate plus an Applicable Margin as determined by the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, within a range of 1.125% to 2.000% (all capitalized terms used in this sentence are as defined in the Credit Agreement). At December 30, 2023, the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility had a weighted-average interest rate of 6.18%.

The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the personal and real property of the Company and its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.

The Senior Credit Facilities also contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to, among other things: incur or guarantee indebtedness; incur liens; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into transactions with affiliates; consummate asset sales, acquisitions or mergers; prepay certain other indebtedness; or make investments, as well as covenants restricting the activities of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company that hold intellectual property related assets. Further, the Senior Credit Facilities require compliance with the following financial covenants: a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (all capitalized terms used in this paragraph are as defined in the Senior Credit Facilities). As of December 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and performance ratios under the Senior Credit Facilities.

On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2012. The Fourth Amendment provided the Company with near-term financial flexibility by adjusting the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio allowed under the Credit Agreement through the end of fiscal 2023. Financial covenant thresholds will revert to pre-existing levels in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into the Fifth amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to its Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2012. The Fifth Amendment provides the Company with additional allowable disposition capacity in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2024 to support the Company's transformation.

The Company's $550.0 million 4.000% senior notes issued on August 26, 2021 are due on August 15, 2029. Related interest payments are due semi-annually. The senior notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries.

The Company has a foreign revolving credit facility with aggregate available borrowings of $2.0 million that are uncommitted and, therefore, each borrowing against the facility is subject to approval by the lender. There were no borrowings against this facility as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company included in interest expense the amortization of deferred financing costs of $2.2 million, $2.0 million, and $2.3 million in fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Annual maturities of debt for the fiscal years subsequent to December 30, 2023 are as follows:


(In millions)	2024		2025		2026		2027		2028		Thereafter
Annual maturities of debt	$	315.0	$	10.0	$	51.7	$	—	$	—	$	550.0

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:


	Fiscal Year
(In millions)	2023		2022
Goodwill balance at beginning of the year	$	485.0	$	556.6
Sale of a business (see Note 20)	(20.4)		—

Foreign currency translation effects	5.5		(23.2)
Goodwill balance at end of the year	$	427.1	$	485.0

(1)Represents goodwill associated with the Sperry® business classified as held for sale as of fiscal 2023, refer to Note 20.

The Company performs its annual testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment at the beginning of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year for all reporting units. In the fourth quarter of 2022, after completion of the annual impairment testing, the Company recorded a $48.4 million impairment charge for Sweaty Betty® goodwill. The Company did not recognize

any impairment charges for goodwill during 2023 and 2021. For the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit included in the fiscal 2023 annual impairment test, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of by 5%.

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets, which comprise trade names and trademarks, totaled $174.1 million and $274.0 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. In the third quarter of 2023, due to the continued lower current year performance of the Sperry® brand, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred requiring impairment testing of the Sperry® trade name. Based on the results of the impairment testing, the Company recognized impairment charges of $38.3 million to the Sperry® trade name. The impairment charge was due to reductions in future cash flow assumptions mainly due to decreases in anticipated future performance and an increase in the discount rate used in the valuation. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, after the completion of the annual impairment testing, the Company recognized impairment charges of $191.0 million and $189.3 million to the Sperry® and Sweaty Betty® trade names, respectively.

The Sperry® and Sweaty Betty® trade names were valued using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method. The key assumptions used in the valuation being revenue growth, EBITDA margin, and the discount rate. Although the Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in the valuation were appropriate, it is possible assumptions could change in future periods. The risk of future impairment to the Sweaty Betty® trade name and Sweaty Betty® goodwill depend on key assumptions used in the determination of the trade name's and reporting unit's fair value, such as revenue growth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin, discount rate, and assumed tax rate, or if macroeconomic conditions deteriorate and adversely affect the values of the Company's Sweaty Betty® trade name and the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit. A future impairment charge of the Sweaty Betty® trade name and the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit goodwill could have an adverse material effect on the Company's consolidated financial results The carrying value of the Company’s Sweaty Betty® trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset and the Sweaty Betty® reporting unit goodwill were $99.5 million and $53.0 million, respectively, as of December 30, 2023.

Amortizable intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The combined gross carrying values and accumulated amortization for these amortizable intangibles are as follows:


	December 30, 2023
(In millions)	Gross carrying value		Accumulated amortization		Net		Average remaining life (years)
Customer relationships	$	59.6	$	28.1	$	31.5	9
Other	21.3		17.9		3.4		3
Total	$	80.9	$	46.0	$	34.9

Other	22.2		18.0		4.2		3
Total	$	140.6	$	73.2	$	67.4

Amortization expense for these amortizable intangible assets was $7.2 million, $7.9 million and $8.4 million for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Estimated aggregate amortization expense for such intangibles for the fiscal years subsequent to December 30, 2023 is as follows:


(In millions)	2024		2025		2026		2027		2028

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

On January 10, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the global Sperry® business and as of fiscal 2023 year-end, determined that the Sperry® business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company received gross proceeds of $97.4 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Company determined that the divestiture of the Sperry® business does not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the consolidated condensed results of operations, and therefore results of this business were not classified as discontinued operations.

Upon classification as held for sale, the Company compared the Sperry® business' carrying value with its fair value, less costs to sell. Based upon the selling price, the Company estimated implied losses in excess of the carrying value of the Sperry® business' long-lived assets. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $95.0 million during fiscal 2023 to reduce the net carrying value of the Sperry® business' long-lived assets to zero. Also during fiscal 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $11.0 million related to assets that will not convey as part of the Sperry® sale transactions and are not expected to be used within the Company’s other businesses. These charges are reported within the impairment of long-lived assets line on the consolidated statements of operations. This write-down includes a $1.0 million loss related to currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

On December 17, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Company’s equity interest in the Merrell and Saucony China joint venture entities to Xtep International Holdings Limited ("Xtep"), its joint venture partner. On January 1, 2024, the Company completed the sale of and received cash of $22.0 million. The Company has determined that the Merrell and Saucony China joint venture entities meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of year-end 2023, and therefore have reclassified the related assets and liabilities as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined that the planned divestiture does not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the consolidated condensed results of operations, and therefore results of this business were not classified as discontinued operations.

The Keds® business and the performance leathers business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of year end 2022, and therefore reclassified the related assets and liabilities as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of year end 2022. As noted above, the Company completed the sale of both the Keds® business and performance leathers business in fiscal 2023.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy.


	Fair Value Measurements
	Quoted Prices With Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
(In millions)	December 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Financial assets:
Derivatives	$	1.8	$	13.6
Financial liabilities:
Derivatives	$	(5.1)	$	(1.3)

The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the estimated receipts or payments necessary to terminate the contracts.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are tested annually, or if a triggering event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred, using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3). In the third quarter of 2023, based on the results of the impairment testing, the Company recognized impairment charges of $38.3 million to the Sperry® trade name. In the fourth quarter of 2022, after completion of the annual impairment testing, the Company recorded a $48.4 million impairment charge for Sweaty Betty® goodwill. The Company also recorded impairment charges of $191.0 million and

$189.3 million to the Sperry® and Sweaty Betty® trade names, respectively, in fiscal 2022. Refer to Note 4, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles” for additional discussion on the Sperry® goodwill impairment and the Sperry® and Sweaty Betty® trade name impairment.

Fair Value Disclosures

The Company’s financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, borrowings under revolving credit agreements and other short-term and long-term debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments is historical cost, which approximates fair value, except for the debt. The carrying value and the fair value of the Company’s debt are as follows:


(In millions)	December 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Carrying value	$	920.8	$	1,158.0
Fair value	813.3		1,042.9

The fair value of the fixed rate debt was based on third-party quotes (Level 2). The fair value of the variable rate debt was calculated by discounting the future cash flows to its present value using a discount rate based on the risk-free rate of the same maturity (Level 3).

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On December 17, 2023, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to sell a 40% ownership interest in Gemini Asia Saucony, LLC, which was established for the purpose of holding, licensing and managing the intellectual property rights associated with the Saucony® brand in China, Hong Kong and Macau, to XMS Sports Co. Limited for cash of $39.0 million.

Assets and Liabilities of Consolidated VIEs

The Company has joint ventures that source and market the Company’s footwear and apparel products in China. Based upon the criteria set forth in FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company has determined two of the consolidated joint ventures are variable interest entities (VIEs) of which the Company is the primary beneficiary and, as a result, the Company consolidates these VIEs. The primary beneficiary determination is based on the relationship between the Company and the VIE, including contractual agreements between the Company and the VIE. The Company has determined that two of the VIEs that are consolidated meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of year end 2023, refer to Note 20, "Divestitures and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale" for additional discussion.

Specifically, the Company has the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the entities’ performance and the Company has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits that are significant to the entities. The other equity holder’s interests are reflected in “net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and “Noncontrolling interest” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assets held by the VIEs are only available to settle obligations of the respective entities. Holders of liabilities of these VIEs do not have recourse to the Company.

The following is a summary of these VIE’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

The Company also has two joint ventures that are VIEs that are not consolidated as the Company does not have the power to direct the most significant activities that impact the VIEs' economic performance. The two VIEs distribute footwear and apparel products in the Asia Pacific region. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets in 2022 included $8.1 million in Other Assets related to VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that the VIEs that are not consolidated meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of year-end fiscal 2023, refer to Note 20, "Divestitures and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale" for additional discussion.

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions with related party equity affiliates.

Litigation and Contingencies

LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company operated a leather tannery in Rockford, Michigan from the early 1900s through 2009 (the “Tannery”). The Company also owns a parcel on House Street in Plainfield Township that the Company used for the disposal of Tannery byproducts until about 1970 (the "House Street" site). Beginning in the late 1950s, the Company used 3M Company’s Scotchgard™ in its processing of certain leathers at the Tannery. Until 2002 when 3M Company changed its Scotchgard™ formula, Tannery byproducts disposed of by the Company at the House Street site and other locations may have contained PFOA and/or PFOS, two chemicals in the family of compounds known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (together, “PFAS”). PFOA and PFOS help provide non-stick, stain-resistant, and water-resistant qualities, and were used for many decades in commercial products like firefighting foams and metal plating, and in common consumer items like food wrappers, microwave popcorn bags, pizza boxes, Teflon™, carpets and Scotchgard™.

In May 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) announced a lifetime health advisory level of 70 parts per trillion (“ppt”) combined for PFOA and PFOS, which the EPA reduced in June 2022 to 0.004 ppt and 0.02 ppt for PFOA and PFOS, respectively. In January 2018, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”, now known as the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (“EGLE”)) enacted a drinking water criterion of 70 ppt combined for PFOA and PFOS, which set an official state standard for acceptable concentrations of these contaminants in groundwater used for drinking water purposes. On August 3, 2020, Michigan changed the standards for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water to 8 and 16 ppt, respectively, and set standards for four other PFAS substances.

Civil and Regulatory Actions of EGLE and EPA

On January 10, 2018, EGLE filed a civil action against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”) and Parts 201 and 31 of the Michigan Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (“NREPA”) alleging that the Company’s past and present handling, storage, treatment, transportation and/or disposal of solid waste at the Company’s properties has resulted in releases of PFAS at levels exceeding applicable Michigan cleanup criteria for PFOA and PFOS (the "EGLE Action"). Plainfield and Algoma Townships intervened in the EGLE Action alleging claims under RCRA, NREPA, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and common law nuisance.

On February 3, 2020, the parties entered into a consent decree resolving the EGLE Action, which was approved by U.S. District Judge Janet T. Neff on February 19, 2020 (the “Consent Decree”). Under the Consent Decree, the Company agreed to pay for an extension of Plainfield Township’s municipal water system to more than 1,000 properties in Plainfield and Algoma Townships, subject to an aggregate cap of $69.5 million. The Company also agreed to continue maintaining water filters for certain homeowners, resample certain residential wells for PFAS, continue remediation at the Company’s Tannery property and House Street site, and conduct further investigations and monitoring to assess the presence of PFAS in area groundwater. The Company’s activities under the Consent Decree are not materially impacted by either the drinking water standards that became effective on August 3, 2020, or the EPA’s revised advisory levels issued in June 2022.

On December 19, 2018, the Company filed a third-party complaint against 3M Company seeking, among other things, recovery of the Company’s remediation and other costs incurred in defense of the EGLE Action ("the 3M Action"). On June 20, 2019,

the 3M Company filed a counterclaim against the Company in response to the 3M Action, seeking, among other things, contractual and common law indemnity and contribution under CERCLA and Part 201 of NREPA. On February 20, 2020, the Company and 3M Company entered into a settlement agreement resolving the 3M Action, under which 3M Company paid the Company a lump sum amount of $55.0 million during the first quarter of 2020.

On January 10, 2018, the EPA entered a Unilateral Administrative Order (the “Order”) under Section 106(a) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. § 9606(a) with an effective date of February 1, 2018. The Order pertained to specified removal actions at the Company's Tannery and House Street sites, including certain time critical removal actions subsequently identified in an April 29, 2019 letter from the EPA, to abate the actual or threatened release of hazardous substances at or from the sites. On October 28, 2019, the EPA and the Company entered into an Administrative Settlement and Order on Consent (“AOC”) that supersedes the Order and addresses the agreed-upon removal actions outlined in the Order. The Company has completed the activities required by the AOC, and is awaiting the final review and determination from the EPA.

The Company discusses its reserve for remediation costs in the environmental liabilities section below.

Individual and Class Action Litigation

Beginning in late 2017, individual lawsuits and three putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Company that raise a variety of claims, including claims related to property, remediation, and human health effects. The three putative class action lawsuits were subsequently refiled in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan as a single consolidated putative class action lawsuit. 3M Company has been named as a co-defendant in the individual lawsuits and consolidated putative class action lawsuit. In addition, the current owner of a former landfill and gravel mining operation sued the Company seeking damages and cost recovery for property damage allegedly caused by the Company’s disposal of tannery waste containing PFAS (this suit collectively with the individual lawsuits and putative class action, the “Litigation Matters”).

On January 11, 2022, the Company and 3M Company entered into a master settlement agreement with the law firm representing certain of the plaintiffs in the individual lawsuits included in the Litigation Matters, and each of these plaintiffs subsequently agreed to participate in the settlement. These plaintiffs’ lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice on or around April 25, 2022.

On December 9, 2021, the Company and 3M Company reached a settlement in principle to resolve certain of the remaining individual lawsuits included in the Litigation Matters, and the parties entered into definitive settlement agreements in March 2022. These plaintiffs’ lawsuits were dismissed with prejudice on June 14, 2022. The last remaining individual action included in the Litigation Matters was dismissed without prejudice on June 24, 2022.

In addition, in September 2022, the parties to the putative class action filed a motion for preliminary approval of a proposed class action settlement seeking to resolve the putative class action plaintiffs’ claims. On March 29, 2023, the court presiding over the putative class action granted final approval of the proposed settlement and dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice.

The last remaining Litigation Matter, the lawsuit filed by the current owner of a former landfill and gravel mining operations, was pending in Michigan state court but has been administratively stayed by the Court.

There were no developments during fiscal year 2023 that required the Company to change the amount accrued for the Litigation Matters described above. The Company made related payments of $37.8 million in connection with the Litigation Matters described above during fiscal year 2023. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had recorded liabilities of $2.7 million for certain of the Litigation Matters described above which are recorded as other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

In December 2018, the Company filed a lawsuit against certain of its historic liability insurers, seeking to compel them to provide a defense against the Litigation Matters on the Company's behalf and coverage for remediation efforts undertaken by, and indemnity provided by, the Company. The Company recognized certain recoveries from legacy insurance policies in 2023 and 2022, and continues pursuing additional recoveries through the lawsuit.

Other Litigation

The Company is also involved in litigation incidental to its business and is a party to legal actions and claims, including, but not limited to, those related to employment, intellectual property, and consumer related matters. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering, among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available to the Company and reserves for liabilities that the Company has recorded, along with applicable insurance, it is management’s opinion that the outcome of these

items, individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Liabilities

The following is a summary of the activity with respect to the environmental remediation reserve established by the Company:


	Fiscal Year
(In millions)	2023		2022
Remediation liability at beginning of the year	$	74.1	$	85.7
Changes in estimate	(5.8)		6.8
Amounts paid	(10.4)		(18.4)
Remediation liability at the end of the year	$	57.9	$	74.1

The reserve balance as of December 30, 2023 includes $31.3 million that is expected to be paid within the next twelve months and is recorded as a current obligation in other accrued liabilities, with the remaining $26.6 million expected to be paid over the course of up to 25 years, recorded in other liabilities.

The Company's remediation activity at the Tannery property, House Street site and other relevant operations or disposal sites is ongoing. Although the Consent Decree has made near-term costs more clear, it is difficult to estimate the long-term cost of environmental compliance and remediation given the uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of applicable environmental laws and regulations, the extent of environmental contamination and the existence of alternative cleanup methods. Future developments may occur that could materially change the Company’s current cost estimates, including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the information available regarding the environmental impact of the Company’s operations and products; (ii) changes in environmental regulations, changes in permissible levels of specific compounds in drinking water sources, or changes in enforcement theories and policies, including efforts to recover natural resource damages; (iii) new and evolving analytical and remediation techniques; (iv) changes to the form of remediation; (v) success in allocating liability to other potentially responsible parties; and (vi) the financial viability of other potentially responsible parties and third-party indemnitors. For locations at which remediation activity is largely ongoing, the Company cannot estimate a possible loss or range of loss in excess of the associated established reserves for the reasons described above. The Company adjusts recorded liabilities as further information develops or circumstances change.

Minimum Royalties and Advertising Commitments

The Company has future minimum royalty and advertising obligations due under the terms of certain licenses held by the Company. These minimum future obligations for the fiscal years subsequent to December 30, 2023 are as follows:


(In millions)	2024		2025		2026		2027		2028		Thereafter
Minimum royalties	$	1.3	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Minimum advertising	2.9		3.0		3.1		3.2		3.3		—

Minimum royalties are based on both fixed obligations and assumptions regarding the Consumer Price Index. Royalty obligations in excess of minimum requirements are based upon future sales levels. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred royalty expense of $1.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.3 million for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The terms of certain license agreements also require the Company to make advertising expenditures based on the level of sales of the licensed products. In accordance with these agreements, the Company incurred advertising expense of $6.9 million, $6.5 million and $6.5 million for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation (Notes)

Stock-Based Compensation

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $15.2 million, $33.4 million and $38.1 million and related income tax benefits of $2.9 million, $6.5 million and $7.5 million for grants under its stock-based compensation plans in the statements of operations for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of December 30, 2023, the Company had 7,991,683 stock incentive units (stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and common stock) available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan of 2016, as amended and restated ("Stock Plan"). Each stock option or stock appreciation right granted counts as 1.0 stock incentive unit. Stock options granted under the Stock Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the grant date, expire no later than ten years from the grant date and generally vest over three years. All other awards granted, including Restricted Awards and Performance Awards, count as 2.6 stock incentive units for each share, restricted share or restricted stock unit granted. Restricted Awards issued under the Stock Plan are subject to certain restrictions, including a prohibition against any sale, transfer or other disposition by the officer or employee during the vesting period (except for certain transfers for estate planning purposes for certain officers), and a requirement to forfeit all or a certain portion of the award upon certain terminations of employment. These restrictions typically lapse over a three-year period from the date of the award. The Company has elected to recognize expense for these stock-based incentive plans ratably over the vesting term on a straight-line basis. Certain option and restricted awards provide for accelerated vesting under various scenarios, including retirement, death and disability, and upon a change in control of the Company. Awards issued to employees that meet the specified retirement age and service requirements are vested upon the employee's retirement in accordance with plan provisions and the applicable award agreements issued under the Stock Plan. The Company issues shares to plan participants upon exercise or vesting of stock-based incentive awards from either authorized, but unissued shares or treasury shares.

The Board of Directors awards an annual grant of Performance Awards to certain plan participants. The number of Performance Awards that will be earned (and eligible to vest) during the performance period will depend on the Company’s level of success in achieving two specifically identified performance targets. Any portion of the Performance Awards that are not earned by the end of the three-year measurement period will be forfeited. The final determination of the number of Performance Awards to be issued in respect to an award is determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $55.6 million and $26.7 million, respectively. The net increase in the total valuation allowance during fiscal 2023 was $28.9 million. The valuation allowance for both years is primarily related to U.S. state and local net operating loss carryforwards as well as a valuation allowance against state deferred tax assets for certain U.S. legal entities, foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions. The valuation allowance for fiscal 2023 is also related to U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income in foreign jurisdictions as well as state and local tax jurisdictions, and capital gains in the U.S. tax jurisdiction. During 2023, the Company sold one of its foreign subsidiaries which generated a tax capital loss of $417.8 million on the divestiture of that entity's stock. That tax capital loss was used to offset taxable gains related to the divestiture of various brand and non-core assets between 2022 and 2024 in the amount of $312.5 million. The remaining capital loss of $105.3 million has no immediate use and therefore has a full valuation allowance resulting in an increase to the valuation allowance of $24.1 million as of December 30, 2023. The current year change in the valuation allowance results in a decrease against the state deferred tax assets of $0.8 million, an increase related to state net operating loss carryforward of $2.3 million, and a net increase relating to the foreign net operating losses and foreign tax credits and other deferred tax assets of $3.3 million.

At December 30, 2023, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $43.5 million, which have expirations ranging from 2024 to an unlimited term during which they are available to offset future foreign taxable income. The Company had U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards, federal net operating loss carryforwards and Internal Revenue Code section 163(j) interest expense carryforwards of $263.8 million, $27.1 million, and $65.8 million respectively, which have expirations ranging from 2029 to an unlimited term during which they are available to offset future U.S. federal taxable income. The Company had state net operating loss carryforwards and Internal Revenue Code section 163(j) interest expense carryforwards of $234.4 million and $74.7 million respectively, which have expirations ranging from 2024 to an unlimited term during which they are available to offset future state taxable income. The Company also had tax credit carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of $2.6 million, which are available for an unlimited carryforward period to offset future foreign taxes.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:


	Fiscal Year
(In millions)	2023		2022
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of the year	$	9.0	$	10.9

Increases related to current year tax positions	0.3		0.2
Decreases related to prior year positions	(5.1)		(1.1)
Decreases relating to settlements with taxing authorities	(0.7)		(0.5)
Decrease due to lapse of statute	(0.9)		(0.5)
Unrecognized tax benefits at end of the year	$	2.6	$	9.0

The portion of the unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized currently, would reduce the annual effective tax rate was $2.6 million and $9.0 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During 2023, the Company released $5.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to net operating losses that were deemed to be fully limited based on the completion of a separate return loss year analysis. The release had no impact on the effective tax rate since the Company released both the deferred tax asset and contra deferred tax asset related to the net operating losses. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. Interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.5 million and $0.5 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits. However, any payment of tax is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017.

The Company intends to repatriate cash held in foreign jurisdictions and as such has recorded a deferred tax liability related to additional state taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the future dividends received in the U.S. from the foreign subsidiaries of $1.1 million and $1.1 million for fiscal years 2023 and 2022. The Company intends to permanently reinvest all non-cash undistributed earnings outside of the U.S. and has, therefore, not established a deferred tax liability on the amount of non-cash foreign undistributed earnings of $76.5 million at December 30, 2023. However, if these non-cash undistributed earnings were repatriated, the Company would be required to accrue and pay applicable U.S. taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of the deferred tax liability associated with these non-cash unremitted earnings due to the complexity of the hypothetical calculation.

Accounts Receivable [Abstract]
Loans, Notes, Trade and Other Receivables Disclosure [Text Block]	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sell, on a continuous basis without recourse, their trade receivables to Rockford ARS, LLC (“Rockford ARS”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company. On December 7, 2022, Rockford ARS entered into a receivables purchase agreement (“RPA”) to sell up to $175.0 million of receivables to certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”) on a recurring basis in exchange for cash (referred to as “capital” in the RPA) equal to the gross receivables transferred. The parties intend that the transfers of receivables to the Purchasers constitute purchases and sales of receivables. Rockford ARS has guaranteed to each Purchaser the prompt payment of sold receivables, and has granted a security interest in its assets for the benefit of the Purchasers. Under the RPA, which matures on December 5, 2025 each Purchaser’s share of capital accrues yield at a floating rate plus an applicable margin. The Company is the master servicer under the RPA, and is responsible for administering and collecting receivables. The proceeds of the RPA are classified as operating activities in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Cash received from collections of sold receivables may be used to fund additional purchases of receivables on a revolving basis or to return all or any portion of outstanding capital of the Purchasers. Subsequent collections on the pledged receivables, which have not been sold, will be classified as operating cash flows at the time of collection. Total receivables sold under the RPA were $613.9 million and $218.2 million in fiscal years 2023 and 2022, and total cash collections under the RPA were $662.7 million and $75.5 million in fiscal years 2023 and 2022. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated book value due to their credit quality and short-term nature, and as a result, no gain or loss on sale of receivables was recorded. As of the fiscal years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount sold to the Purchasers was $93.9 million and $142.7 million respectively, which was derecognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As collateral against sold receivables, Rockford ARS maintains a certain level of unsold receivables, which was $62.3 million and $70.0 million as of the fiscal years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 respectively.

The FASB has issued the following Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that the Company has adopted. The following is a summary of the new standard.

Standard

Description

Effect on the Financial Statements

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848); Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (as amended by ASU 2021-01 and ASU 2022-06).

Provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued.

The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 during the second quarter of 2023 on a prospective basis. The Company amended its amended senior credit facility to use SOFR as an alternative to LIBOR. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage the volatility associated primarily with U.S. dollar inventory purchases made by non-U.S. wholesale operations in the normal course of business. These foreign currency forward exchange hedge contracts extended out to a maximum of 531 days and 524 days as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. If, in the future, the foreign exchange contracts are determined not to be highly effective or are terminated before their contractual termination dates, the Company would remove the hedge designation from those contracts and reclassify into earnings the unrealized gains or losses that would otherwise be included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity.

The Company also utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to manage foreign currency transaction exposure. Foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are offset by foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the underlying exposures of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

The Company has an interest rate swap arrangement, which unless otherwise terminated, will mature on May 30, 2025. This agreement, which exchanges floating rate interest payments for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts, has been designated as a cash flow hedge of the underlying debt. The notional amount of the interest rate swap arrangement is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap arrangement is recognized as interest expense, net. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has formally documented the relationship between the interest rate swap and the variable rate borrowing, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transactions. This process included linking the derivative to the specific liability or asset on the balance sheet. The Company also assessed at the inception of the hedge, and continues to assess on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative used in the hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item.

The notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments are as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	December 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Foreign exchange hedge contracts	$	269.0	$	334.2
