Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation — The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and its 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Company,” “TreeHouse,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Discontinued Operations — Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, the Company determined that both its Snacks division and its Ready-to-eat ("RTE") Cereal business met the discontinued operations criteria in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20-45 and were classified as discontinued operations. As such, both businesses have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

Change in Segments — On January 1, 2019, the Company changed how it manages its business, allocates resources, and goes to market, which resulted in modifications to its organizational and segment structure (the “2019 Segment Change”). As a result, the Company consolidated its Condiments and Meals segments into one segment called Meal Solutions. Additionally, the Bars and Ready-to-eat cereal categories moved from the Company's Snacks and Meals segments, respectively, into the Baked Goods segment.

On January 1, 2020, the Company changed how it manages its business, allocates resources, and goes to market, which resulted in modifications to its organizational and segment structure (the "2020 Segment Change"). As a result, the Company reorganized from a three segment structure previously organized by product category (Baked Goods, Beverages, and Meal Solutions) to a two segment structure organized by market dynamics (Snacking & Beverages and Meal Preparation).

During 2019, all prior period information was originally recast to reflect the 2019 Segment Change. Upon the 2020 Segment Change, all prior period information was recast to reflect this change in reportable segments and as such, the information herein no longer presents the 2019 Segment Change. Refer to Note 22 for additional information.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to use judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash Equivalents — We consider temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, $72.7 million and $86.4 million, respectively, represents cash and equivalents held in foreign jurisdictions, in local currencies, that are convertible into other currencies.

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of April 1, 2019, all the Company's inventory is valued using the FIFO method. The costs of finished goods inventories include raw materials, labor, and overhead costs.

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company changed its method of valuing its Pickle inventory in its Meal Preparation segment from the last-in, first out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Prior period information included in this Form 10-K has been recast to apply the FIFO method retrospectively. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.

Property, Plant, and Equipment — Property, plant, and equipment are stated at acquisition cost, plus capitalized interest on borrowings during the actual construction period of major capital projects. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



Asset		Useful Life
Buildings and improvements		12-40 years
Machinery and equipment		3-15 years
Office furniture and equipment		3-12 years

We perform impairment tests when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Finance leases are amortized over the shorter of their lease term or their estimated useful lives, and amortization expense is included in depreciation expense. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not improve or extend the life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.

Intangible and Other Assets — Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:



Asset		Useful Life
Customer-related		5 to 20 years
Trademarks		10 to 20 years
Non-competition agreements		Based on the terms of the agreements
Deferred financing costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements		Based on the terms of the agreements
Formulas/recipes		5 to 7 years
Computer software		3 to 10 years

All amortization expense related to intangible assets is recorded in Amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Indefinite lived trademarks are evaluated for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Impairment is indicated when their book value exceeds fair value. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down to fair value, which is generally based on its discounted future cash flows.

Amortizable intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows.

Goodwill is evaluated annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances require an interim assessment. We assess goodwill for impairment (as of December 31) at the reporting unit level using income and market approaches, employing significant assumptions regarding growth, discount rates, and profitability at each reporting unit. Our estimates under the income approach are determined based on a discounted cash flow model. The market approach uses a market multiple methodology employing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and applies a range of multiples to those amounts in determining the indicated fair value. In determining the multiples used in this approach, we obtain the multiples for selected peer companies using the most recent publicly available information. In determining the indicated fair value of each reporting unit, the Company concludes based on the income approach, and uses the market approach to corroborate, as the Company believes the income approach is the most reliable indicator of the fair value of the reporting units. The resulting value is then compared to the carrying value of each reporting unit to determine if impairment is necessary.

Stock-Based Compensation — We measure compensation expense for our equity awards at their grant date fair value. The resulting expense is recognized over the relevant service period.

Accounts Receivable — We provide credit terms to customers in-line with industry standards, perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience. Customer balances are written off after all collection efforts are exhausted. Estimated product returns, which have not been material, are deducted from sales at the time of shipment.

Employment-Related Benefits — We provide a range of benefits to our employees, including pension and postretirement benefits to our eligible employees and retirees. We record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by GAAP, which include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed investment rates of return, compensation increases, employee turnover rates, and health care cost trend rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate.

Workers' Compensation — The measurement of the liability for our cost of providing these benefits is largely based upon loss development factors that contemplate a number of variables, including claims history and expected trends. These loss development factors are based on industry factors and, along with the estimated liabilities, are developed by us in consultation

with external insurance brokers and actuaries. Changes in loss development factors, claims history, and cost trends could result in substantially different results in the future.

Income Taxes — The provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, state, and local income taxes currently payable, and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position, or the statute of limitations concerning such issues lapses.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using currency exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date, and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of Stockholders’ equity in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies and intercompany debt that is not of a long-term investment nature are included in (Gain) loss on foreign currency exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains or losses resulting from intercompany debt that is designated a long-term investment are recorded as a separate component of Stockholders' equity in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Restructuring Expenses — Restructuring charges principally consist of severance and other employee separation costs, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation, professional fees, and certain long-lived asset impairments. The Company recognizes restructuring obligations and liabilities for exit and disposal activities at fair value in the period the liability is incurred. One-time employee termination benefits for employee severance costs are expensed evenly starting at the communication date over the period during which the employee is required to render service to receive the severance. Ongoing benefit arrangements for employee severance costs are expensed when they become probable and reasonably estimable. Depreciation expense related to assets that will be disposed of or idled as a part of the restructuring activity is accelerated through the expected date of the asset shut down. Restructuring charges are incurred as a component of Operating (loss) income.

Research and Development Costs — We record research and development charges to expense as they are incurred and report them in General and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenditures totaled $18.8 million, $19.2 million, and $27.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Advertising Costs —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported in Selling and distribution expense of our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between legacy GAAP and this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under legacy GAAP. The standard requires that entities apply the effects of these changes using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (842), Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to apply ASU No. 2016-02 on the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. These ASU's are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted these ASUs as of January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective transition method prescribed by ASU 2018-11. Under this transition method, financial results reported in periods prior to the first quarter of 2019 are unchanged. On a continuing operations basis, the adoption of these ASUs resulted in the recognition of approximately $221.5 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Also as a result of adoption, the Company reclassified $17.2 million of liabilities and $0.6 million of assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019 against the operating lease right-of-use asset. The adoption of these ASUs did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted by the transition guidance. The adoption of these ASU’s did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows. Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding the Company's leases.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring Programs

3. RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS

The Company’s restructuring and margin improvement activities are part of an enterprise-wide transformation to improve long-term profitability of the Company. These activities are aggregated into three categories: (1) TreeHouse 2020 – a long-term growth and margin improvement strategy; (2) Structure to Win – an operating expenses improvement program; and (3) other restructuring and plant closing costs (collectively the “Restructuring Programs”).

The costs by activity for the Restructuring Programs are outlined below:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
	(In millions)
TreeHouse 2020	$	89.5	$	118.4	$	51.4
Structure to Win	15.9		44.1		—
Other restructuring and plant closing costs	—		4.2		22.2
Total Restructuring Programs	$	105.4	$	166.7	$	73.6

Expenses associated with these programs are recorded in Cost of sales, General and administrative, and Other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not allocate costs associated with Restructuring Programs to reportable segments when evaluating the performance of its segments. As a result, costs associated with Restructuring Programs are not presented by reportable segment. See Note 22 for more information.

Below is a summary of costs by line item for the Restructuring Programs:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
	(In millions)
Cost of sales	$	4.4	$	13.3	$	35.5
General and administrative	1.7		4.3		—
Other operating expense, net	99.3		149.1		38.1
Total	$	105.4	$	166.7	$	73.6

The table below presents the exit cost liability activity as of December 31, 2019:




	Severance			Other Costs			Total Liabilities
	(In millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2018	$	19.3		$	2.6		$	21.9
Expenses recognized	9.1			—			9.1
Cash payments	(22.8		)	—			(22.8		)
Reclassification due to adoption of ASU 2016-02	—			(2.6		)	(2.6		)
Balance as of December 31, 2019	$	5.6		$	—		$	5.6

Liabilities as of December 31, 2019 associated with total exit cost reserves relate to severance. The severance liability is included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other costs represent early lease termination liabilities. As part of the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-02, these lease termination liabilities were offset with the initial right-of-use asset at transition. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.

(1) TreeHouse 2020

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company announced TreeHouse 2020, a program intended to accelerate long-term growth through optimization of our manufacturing network, transformation of our mixing centers and warehouse footprint, and leveraging of systems and processes to drive performance. The Company’s workstreams related to these activities and selling, general, and administrative cost reductions will increase our capacity utilization, expand operating margins, and streamline our plant structure to optimize our supply chain. This program began in 2017 and will be executed through 2020. The table below shows key information regarding the Company's announced plant closures, a component of the broader TreeHouse 2020 program:

Expenses associated with the Company's Dothan, Alabama; Battle Creek, Michigan; and Minneapolis, Minnesota facility closures are classified within Net loss from discontinued operations and are excluded from the table above. Total costs to close these three facilities were $29.7 million.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company announced the closure of its Omaha, Nebraska office by January 31, 2019. This closure was completed during the first quarter of 2019.

Below is a summary of the overall TreeHouse 2020 program costs by type:

For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, asset-related primarily consisted of accelerated depreciation; employee-related costs primarily consisted of dedicated project employee cost, severance, and retention; and other costs primarily consisted of consulting costs. Asset-related costs are included in Cost of sales while employee-related and other costs are primarily included in Other operating expense, net of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2) Structure to Win

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company announced an operating expenses improvement program (“Structure to Win”) designed to align our organization structure with strategic priorities. The program is intended to drive operational effectiveness, cost reduction, and position the Company for growth with a focus on a lean customer focused go-to-market team, centralized supply chain, and streamlined administrative functions.

Below is a summary of costs by type associated with the Structure to Win program:



	Year Ended December 31,				Cumulative Costs To Date		Total Expected Costs

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, asset-related costs primarily consisted of accelerated depreciation, employee-related costs primarily consisted of severance and retention, and other costs primarily consisted of consulting services. Asset-related costs are included in General and administrative expense and the employee-related and other costs are included in Other operating expense, net of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no costs related to this program during the year ended December 31, 2017.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company announced the closure of its St. Louis, Missouri office by June 28, 2019. This closure was completed during the second quarter of 2019.

Other Restructuring and Plant Closing Costs — The Company continually analyzes its plant network to align operations with the current and future needs of its customers. Facility closure decisions are made when the Company identifies opportunities to lower production costs or eliminate excess manufacturing capacity while maintaining a competitive cost structure, service levels, and product quality. Expenses associated with facility closures are primarily aggregated in Other operating expense, net of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, with the exception of asset-related costs, which are recorded in Cost of sales.

Below is a summary of costs by type associated with the other restructuring and plant closing costs:



	Year Ended December 31,

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

4. LEASES

The Company has operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, office space, and certain equipment. Remaining lease terms for these leases range from 1 year to 13 years. Some of the Company’s leases include options to extend the leases for up to 29 years, and some include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

The Company does not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. Expense for these short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:



	Balance Sheet Classification	December 31, 2019
		(In millions)
Assets
Operating	Operating lease right-of-use assets	$	175.3
Finance	Property, plant, and equipment, net	3.9
Total assets		$	179.2

Liabilities

Noncurrent liabilities
Operating	Operating lease liabilities	158.5
Finance	Long-term debt	2.6
Total noncurrent liabilities		161.1
Total lease liabilities		$	194.4

Right-of-use assets and their corresponding lease liabilities are measured and recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date.

Discount Rates

The majority of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments for those leases. The Company has elected the practical expedient to apply discount rates to its lease portfolio based on the portfolio approach. The Company grouped the leases into portfolios by remaining lease term.

As of December 31, 2019, the weighted-average discount rates for the Company's operating and finance leases were 4.7% and 3.5%, respectively.

Lease Payments

The Company includes lease payments under options to extend or terminate the lease in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options. For operating leases, lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Fixed lease costs represent the explicitly quantified lease payments prescribed by the lease agreement and are included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liability based on the index or rate at lease commencement. Other variable lease payments such as those that depend on the usage or performance of an underlying asset are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and nonlease components into a single component for all of its leases.

As of December 31, 2019, the weighted-average remaining term of the Company's operating and finance leases was 7.9 years and 3.2 years, respectively.

The components of lease expense were as follows:



	Statement of Operations Classification	Year Ended December 31, 2019

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

5. REVENUE RECOGNITION

We manufacture and sell food and beverage products to retailers, distributors, food manufacturers, and the foodservice business. Revenue recognition is completed on a point in time basis when product control is transferred to the customer. In general, control transfers to the customer when the product is shipped or delivered to the customer based upon applicable shipping terms. Customer contracts generally do not include more than one performance obligation and the performance obligations in our contracts are satisfied within one year. No payment terms beyond one year are granted at contract inception.

Most contracts also include some form of variable consideration. The most common forms of variable consideration include discounts, rebates, and sales returns and allowances. Variable consideration is treated as a reduction in revenue when product revenue is recognized. Depending on the specific type of variable consideration, we use either the expected value or most likely amount method to determine the variable consideration. The Company reviews and updates its estimates and related accruals of variable consideration each period based on the terms of the agreements, historical experience, and any recent changes in the market.

The Company does not have significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivable balances arising from transactions with customers. We do not capitalize contract inception costs, as contracts are one year or less. The Company does not incur significant fulfillment costs requiring capitalization. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included within Selling and distribution expenses and are accounted for as a fulfillment cost as incurred, including shipping and handling costs after control over a product has transferred to a customer. Shipping and handling costs recorded as a component of selling and distribution expense were approximately $148.3 million, $199.2 million, and $184.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. In addition, any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from net revenues.

Receivables Sales Program	Dec. 31, 2019
Receivables [Abstract]
Receivables Sales Program	6. RECEIVABLES SALES PROGRAM In December 2017 and June 2019, the Company entered into agreements to sell certain trade accounts receivable to two unrelated, third-party financial institutions (collectively, the “Receivables Sales Program”). The agreements can be terminated by either party with 60 days' notice. The Company has no retained interest in the receivables sold under the Program; however, under the agreements the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold receivables. Under the Program, the maximum amount of receivables that may be sold at any time is $300.0 million. Receivables sold under the Program are de-recognized from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at the time of the sale and the proceeds from such sales are reflected as a component of the change in receivables in the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The outstanding amount of accounts receivable sold under the Receivables Sales Program was $243.0 million and $177.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The loss on sale of receivables was $4.3 million, $3.8 million, and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and is included in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has not recognized any servicing assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018, as the fair value of the servicing arrangement as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had collected but not yet remitted to the financial institutions $158.3 million and $119.3 million, respectively. These amounts were included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In order to align inventory valuation methods across the Company, effective April 1, 2019, the Company changed its method of valuing its Pickle inventory in its Meal Preparation segment from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. After adopting the change, all of the Company's inventory is now valued using the FIFO method. The Company believes that the FIFO method is preferable since it more accurately reflects the current market value of inventory presented on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, improves comparability with the Company's peers, and results in consistency across its operations with respect to the method of inventory valuation. Prior period information included in this Form 10-K has been adjusted to apply the FIFO method retrospectively. As a result of the retrospective change, retained earnings as of January 1, 2017 increased $14.4 million. This change did not affect the Company's previously reported cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.

The impact of the change from LIFO to FIFO on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is summarized below:

Discontinued Operations

Snacks

During the second quarter of 2019, due to changes in market price expectations for the sale of the Company's Snacks division, the Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of the long-lived assets associated with the asset group. This assessment resulted in total long-lived asset impairment losses of $66.5 million, comprised of $63.2 million of property, plant, and equipment impairment losses and $3.3 million of intangible asset impairment losses. These losses result from the estimated fair value of the Snacks asset group, which was determined by its estimated discounted cash flows. These cash flows represent Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. These impairment charges are included in Net loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On August 1, 2019, the Company completed the sale of our Snacks division to Atlas Holdings, LLC. ("Atlas") for $90 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Company classified the proceeds within Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities - discontinued operations and used the net proceeds of the sale to pay down debt. The Company recognized a non-cash pre-tax loss on the transaction upon closing of $98.4 million, which is recognized as a component of Net loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For tax purposes, the sale has resulted in an estimated capital loss of $586.9 million. As a result, we have established a deferred tax asset of $149.3 million. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax asset as we have not met the accounting requirements for recognition of a benefit at this time. The sale of this business is part of the Company's strategy to pursue portfolio optimization. The Snacks division operated three plants located in Robersonville, North Carolina; El Paso, Texas; and Dothan, Alabama. A fourth plant in Minneapolis, Minnesota was not included with the sale and closed during the third quarter of 2019.

The Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA") with Atlas, which is designed to ensure and facilitate an orderly transfer of business operations. The services provided under the TSA will terminate at various times between six and twelve months from the date of sale and can be renewed with a maximum of an additional twelve-month period for certain services. The income received under the TSA was not material for the year ended December 31, 2019 and is primarily classified within General and administrative expenses or Cost of sales in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations depending on the functions being supported by the Company. Except for customary post-closing adjustments and transition services, the Company has no continuing involvement with Atlas subsequent to the completion of the sale.

Ready-to-eat Cereal

On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its RTE Cereal business, which until that time had been a component of the Meal Preparation reporting segment. The sale of this business is part of the Company's strategy to pursue portfolio optimization. On December 19, 2020, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") objected to the sale to Post. On December 23, 2019, the Company and Post then extended the sale agreement until January 31, 2020. On January 13, 2020, the sale to Post was terminated and the Company announced its intention to pursue a sale of the RTE business to alternative buyers.

The Company continues to classify the RTE Cereal business as a discontinued operation as of December 31, 2019. The expected disposal loss for the RTE Cereal business is remeasured each quarter at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell and is included in the valuation allowance in the balance sheet. The Company has recognized the expected disposal loss as an impairment charge of $74.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The impairment is classified as a component of Net loss from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Completion of the sale may be for amounts that could be significantly different from the current fair value estimate. The Company's estimate of fair value will be evaluated and recognized each reporting period until the divestiture is complete.

The Company has reflected the Snacks division (through the date of sale) and RTE Cereal business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company's continuing operations.

In-Store Bakery Facilities

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company reached the decision to sell two of its In-Store Bakery facilities located in Fridley, Minnesota and Lodi, California, which manufacture breads, rolls, and cakes for in-store retail bakeries and foodservice customers. These two facilities are included within the Snacking & Beverages reporting segment. The Company determined the associated assets met the held for sale accounting criteria as of December 31, 2019 and were classified accordingly in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These two facilities did not meet the criteria to be presented as a discontinued operation.

The disposal group was measured at fair value, and the Company recognized the expected disposal loss as an impairment charge of $41.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, as the fair value was determined to be less than the carrying value of the associated assets, including the related goodwill. The impairment is recognized within Asset impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell these facilities. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during the second quarter of 2020.

The following table represents detail of assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019:



	December 31, 2019

The Company also had $2.7 million of assets classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2019 related to the closure of the Minneapolis, Minnesota facility. The sale of these assets is expected by the third quarter of 2020. There was no impairment related to the reclassification of these assets to assets held for sale.

McCann's Business

On July 16, 2018, the Company completed the divestiture of its McCann's business. The McCann's business produced steel cut Irish oatmeal and was previously reported within the Meal Preparation segment. This divestiture did not meet the criteria to be presented as a discontinued operation. The Company recognized a gain upon divestiture of $14.3 million within Other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2018.

SIF Business

On May 22, 2017, the Company completed the divestiture of its SIF business. The SIF business produced private label condensed and ready-to-serve soup, baby food, and gravies for the Meal Preparation segment. This divestiture did not meet the criteria to be presented as a discontinued operation. The Company recognized a loss upon divestiture of $86.0 million within Other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Asset Impairment

We evaluate property, plant, and equipment and finite lived intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Indicators of impairment include deteriorations in operating cash flows, the anticipated sale or disposal of an asset group, and other significant changes in business conditions.

During 2019, our assessment indicated an impairment in our Cookies and Dry Dinners asset groups, within the Snacking & Beverages and Meal Preparation segments, respectively, driven by the historical and forecasted performance of these businesses. As a result, we recognized $42.8 million of property, plant, and equipment impairment losses and $45.2 million of finite lived intangible asset impairment. The impairment charges are included in Asset impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Impairment charges are measured by comparing the carrying values of the asset groups to their estimated fair values. The fair value of these assets were based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. We can provide no assurance regarding the prospect of additional impairment charges in future periods.

Depreciation expense was $136.5 million, $145.0 million, and $147.4 million in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

10. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In connection with the change in organizational structure completed in the first quarter of 2019 (the “2019 Segment Change”), the Company allocated goodwill and accumulated impairment loss balances as of January 1, 2019 between reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach. The change was considered a triggering event indicating a test for goodwill impairment was required as of January 1, 2019. The Company performed the impairment test, which did not result in the identification of any impairment losses.

In connection with the change in organizational structure completed in the first quarter of 2020 (the “2020 Segment Change”), the Company allocated goodwill and accumulated impairment loss balances as of January 1, 2020 between reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach. The change was considered a triggering event indicating a test for goodwill impairment was required as of January 1, 2020. The Company performed the impairment test, which did not result in the identification of any impairment losses. As a result of the 2020 Segment Change, the Company has the following two reportable segments: Meal Preparation and Snacking & Beverages. See Note 22 for more information regarding the 2020 Segment Change.

During 2019, all prior period information was originally recast to reflect the 2019 Segment Change. Upon the 2020 Segment Change, all prior period information was recast to reflect this change in reportable segments and as such, the information herein no longer presents the 2019 Segment Change.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:



		Meal Preparation			Snacking & Beverages			Total
	(in millions)

(1) Relates to the reclassification of goodwill allocated to the In-Store Bakery facilities divestiture. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

The Company performed the annual impairment assessment on goodwill as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, noting no impairment losses.

Upon completion of the annual goodwill impairment analysis as of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded impairment losses of $33.0 million related to the Snacks reporting unit. This reporting unit did not achieve the forecasted results for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company finalized its budgeting process in the fourth quarter which resulted in reduced future revenue and profitability expectations. The primary factor impacting the future revenue and profitability expectations for the Snacks reporting unit was competitive pressures. These changes in expectations and the related reductions in discounted

future cash flows resulted in book values that exceeded the fair values for these reporting units, which required the recognition of impairment losses. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, during the fourth quarter of 2017; therefore, the income approach was used to calculate the impairment. This approach utilizes projected cash flow estimates developed by the Company to determine fair value, which are unobservable, Level 3 inputs. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available. The Company developed its estimates using the best information available at the time. As a result of the change in organizational structure completed in the first quarter of 2019, the Company allocated this impairment loss from the Snacks reporting unit to the Snacking & Beverages segment. The goodwill impairment losses are included in Asset impairment of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Approximately $368.7 million of goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company has $22.0 million and $21.4 million of trademarks with indefinite lives as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company performed the annual impairment assessment on indefinite-lived intangibles as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, resulting in no impairment losses. The fair value of one of our trademarks with a book value of $16.0 million as of December 31, 2019 exceeds its book value by 10%. Based on our plans for this product line, we do not anticipate impairment of this trademark in the foreseeable future. However, if our expectations are not met or certain factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change then this trademark could become impaired. The remainder of the Company's indefinite-lived trademarks had fair values in excess of book value of greater than 10%. Changes in our estimates or any of our other assumptions used in our analysis could result in a different conclusion.

Finite-lived Intangible Assets

The gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of intangible assets, with finite lives, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows.



	December 31,
	2019							2018

Total finite lived intangibles	$	1,032.7	$	(500.0	)	$	532.7	$	1,092.7	$	(457.7	)	$	635.0

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company reclassified $9.4 million of primarily customer-related intangible assets to assets held for sale related to the In-Store Bakery facilities divestiture. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

The Company routinely evaluates the useful life attributed to its assets. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company determined that the useful lives of certain computer software should be increased from seven years to ten years based on historical experience related to the use of this software and our expectation of its future usability. The Company accounted for this as a change in estimate that was applied prospectively, effective as of April 1, 2019. This change in useful life resulted in a reduction of amortization expense of $5.0 million, and an increase in both basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.06, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

Asset Impairment

During the third quarter of 2019, we recognized $45.2 million of finite lived intangible asset impairment. Refer to Note 9 for additional information.

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company determined the carrying value of certain long-lived assets may not be recoverable due to the decline in forecasted future cash flows in the Bars asset group within the Snacks division. As a result, we evaluated long-lived assets for impairment and determined that the book value of the customer-related assets in this asset group were not recoverable. The customer-related assets were determined to have no fair value using an excess earnings approach and an impairment charge of $26.0 million was recorded on all remaining Bars customer-related assets. The excess earnings approach calculates the Company’s earnings above an expected return on the Company’s tangible assets. This approach utilizes projected cash flow estimates developed by the Company to determine fair value, which are unobservable, Level 3 inputs. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available. The Company developed our earnings estimates using the best information available at the time. No other impairments were identified related to the remaining long-lived assets of asset groups. The impairment is included in Asset impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the change in organizational structure completed in the first quarter of 2019, the Company moved the Bars asset group from the Snacks division to the Snacking & Beverages segment.

There were no other impairments related to finite lived intangibles.

Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating changes and to estimate future cash flows. Assumptions used in our impairment evaluations, such as forecasted growth rates and our cost of capital, are consistent with our internal projections and operating plans.

Estimated amortization expense on intangible assets for the next five years is as follows:

The Company assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets and has recorded valuation allowances for certain foreign non-capital loss carryforwards, state net operating loss carryforwards, and state tax credit carryforwards that will more likely than not expire unused. In addition, as described in Note 8, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of $149.3 million it established for its capital loss resulting from the sale of the Snacks division.

The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., Canada, Italy, and various U.S. states. In the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the Company is open to examination for the tax year ended December 31, 2016 and forward; for Canadian purposes, the Company is open to examination for the tax year ended December 31, 2011 and forward; for Italian purposes, the Company is open to examination for the tax years ended May 31, 2015 and forward; and for the various U.S. states the Company is generally open to examination for the tax year ended December 31, 2012 and forward.

Our Canadian operations are under exam by the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) for tax years 2011 through 2015. These examinations are expected to be completed in 2020. In the second quarter of 2019, the Company's Italian subsidiary applied for and received amnesty from the Italian Revenue Agency to settle pending litigation related to its 2007 through 2009, 2013, and 2014 tax years. The settlement resulted in a nominal additional tax payment, which was indemnified by the previous owner of the Italian business. The Company has examinations in process with various state taxing authorities, which are expected to be completed in 2020.

During the year, the Company recorded adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2019			2018			2017
	(in millions)
Unrecognized tax benefits beginning balance	$	17.3		$	26.4		$	31.4

Foreign currency translation	0.1			(0.2		)	0.1
Unrecognized tax benefits ending balance	$	12.3		$	17.3		$	26.4

Unrecognized tax benefits are included in Other long-term liabilities of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the amount accrued at December 31, 2019 and 2018, $3.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, would impact net income when settled. Of the amounts accrued at December 31, 2019 and 2018, $9.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively, relates to unrecognized tax benefits assumed in prior acquisitions, which have been indemnified by the previous owners.

Management estimates that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $4.9 million within the next 12 months, primarily as a result of the resolution of audits currently in progress and the lapsing of statutes of limitations. Approximately $0.3 million of the $4.9 million would affect net income when settled.

The Company recognizes interest expense (income) and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company recognized $(0.2) million, $(0.2) million, and $0.9 million of interest and penalties in income tax expense from continuing operations, respectively. The Company has accrued approximately $3.9 million and $4.2 million for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $3.7 million and $4.1 million is indemnified.

The Company wrote off $2.4 million of debt issuance costs and recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $4.2 million related to the repurchases, recorded within Interest expense and Other expense (income), net of the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. There were no amounts repurchased during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2017.

Credit Agreement

On December 1, 2017, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which amends, restates, and replaces the Company’s prior credit agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (as amended from time to time prior to February 1, 2016, the “Prior Credit Agreement”). As amended, the senior unsecured credit facility includes a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” or the “Revolver”) and two term loans. The Credit Agreement (1) extended the maturity dates of the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A, and Term Loan A-1, (2) resized the Revolver from $900 million to $750 million, (3) consolidated three term loans into two, (4) tightened pricing, and (5) modified the fee structure on the Revolving Credit Facility to now calculate based on the unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility rather than the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.

On June 11, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the Amendment, among other things, (i) the leverage covenant threshold has increased through fiscal year 2019, (ii) the Company and the other loan parties secured the obligations with liens on substantially all of their personal property, and (iii) such liens will be released upon the Company’s leverage ratio being less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 no earlier than the fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2019. The material terms and conditions under the Credit Agreement are otherwise substantially consistent with those contained in the Credit Agreement prior to the Amendment. In connection with this Amendment, $0.6 million in lender fees will be amortized ratably through January 31, 2025 and $1.8 million of fees will be amortized ratably through February 1, 2023.

On August 26, 2019, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment permanently maintains the secured status of the credit facility and the maximum permitted leverage ratio at 4.5x. Absent the Amendment, the Credit Agreement was scheduled to return to unsecured status with a maximum permitted leverage ratio of 4.0x in the fourth quarter of 2019. The material terms and conditions under the Credit Agreement are otherwise substantially consistent with those contained in the Credit Agreement prior to the Amendment.

The Company’s average interest rate on debt outstanding under its Credit Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2019 was 4.11%. Including the impact of the interest rate swap agreements in effect as of December 31, 2019, the average rate decreased to 3.60%.

Revolving Credit Facility — As of December 31, 2019, $723.6 million of the aggregate commitment of $750.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility was available. Under the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 1, 2023. In addition, as of December 31, 2019, there were $26.4 million in letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility that were issued but undrawn, which have been included as a reduction to the calculation of available credit.

Interest is payable quarterly or, if earlier, at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The interest rates applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility are based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or the Company’s Corporate Credit Rating, whichever results in lower pricing, and are determined by either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.70%, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.70%. The unused fee on the Revolving Credit Facility is also based on the

Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or the Company’s Corporate Credit Rating, whichever results in lower pricing, and accrues at a rate ranging from 0.20% to 0.35%.

The Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally, as well as jointly and severally, guaranteed by our 100% owned direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries: Bay Valley Foods, LLC; Sturm Foods, Inc. (includes Cains Foods, Inc. beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019); S.T. Specialty Foods, Inc.; Associated Brands, Inc.; Protenergy Holdings, Inc.; Protenergy Natural Foods, Inc.; TreeHouse Private Brands, Inc. (formerly Ralcorp Holdings, Inc.); American Italian Pasta Company.; Linette Quality Chocolates, Inc.; Ralcorp Frozen Bakery Products, Inc.; Cottage Bakery, Inc.; The Carriage House Companies, Inc. and certain other domestic subsidiaries that may become guarantors in the future, which are collectively known as the “Guarantor Subsidiaries.” As of August 1, 2019, Nutcracker Brands, Inc. and Flagstone Foods, Inc. are no longer Guarantor Subsidiaries due to the Snacks division divestiture. During the fourth quarter of 2019, Cains Foods, L.P. was dissolved and Cains GP, LLC was renamed as TreeHouse Foods Services, LLC. The Credit Agreement contains various financial and restrictive covenants and requires that the Company maintain a consolidated net leverage ratio of no greater than 4.50 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also contains cross-default provisions which could result in the acceleration of payments in the event TreeHouse or the Guarantor Subsidiaries (i) fails to make a payment when due in respect of any indebtedness or guarantee having an aggregate principal amount greater than $75.0 million or (ii) fails to observe or perform any other agreement or condition related to such indebtedness or guarantee as a result of which the holder(s) of such debt are permitted to accelerate the payment of such debt.

Term Loan A — On December 1, 2017, the Company entered into a $500 million term loan which amended and extended the Company’s existing term A loan. The maturity date is January 31, 2025. The interest rates applicable to Term Loan A are based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or the Company’s Corporate Credit Rating, whichever results in lower pricing, and are determined by either (i) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.675% to 2.175%, or (ii) a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 0.675% to 1.175%. Principal amortization payments are due on a quarterly basis and interest is payable quarterly or, if earlier, at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowings under Term Loan A. Term Loan A is subject to substantially the same covenants as the Revolving Credit Facility, and also has the same Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Term Loan A-1 — On December 1, 2017, the Company entered into a $900 million term loan which amended and extended the Company’s existing tranche A-1 and tranche A-2 term loans. The maturity date is February 1, 2023. The interest rates applicable to Term Loan A-1 are the same as those applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the unused fee). Principal amortization payments are due on a quarterly basis and interest is payable quarterly or, if earlier, at the end of the applicable interest period in arrears on any outstanding borrowing under Term Loan A-1. Term Loan A-1 is subject to substantially the same covenants as the Revolving Credit Facility, and has the same Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Term Loan A-2 — On December 1, 2017, Term Loan A-2 was paid off as part the Credit Agreement utilizing borrowings under Term Loan A and Term Loan A-1.

2022 Notes — On March 11, 2014, the Company completed its underwritten public offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% notes due March 15, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The net proceeds of $394.0 million ($400.0 million less underwriting discount of $6.0 million, providing an effective interest rate of 4.99%) were used to extinguish the Company’s previously issued 7.75% notes due on March 1, 2018 (the “2018 Notes”). Interest is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2022 Notes will mature on March 15, 2022.

The Company may redeem all or some of the 2022 Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices as set forth in the Indenture plus any accrued or unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. Subject to certain limitations, in the event of a change in control of the Company, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2022 Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the purchase date.

2024 Notes — On January 29, 2016, the Company completed an exempt offering under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of $775 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.0% notes due February 15, 2024. The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes (approximately $760.7 million after deducting issuance costs, providing an effective interest rate of 6.23%) were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Private Brands Business. Interest is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The payments began on August 15, 2016. The 2024 Notes will mature on February 15, 2024.

The Company may redeem some or all of the 2024 Notes at any time on or after February 15, 2019 at the applicable redemption prices described in the Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to but not including the redemption date. In the event of certain change of control events, as described in the Indenture, the Company may be required to purchase the 2024 Notes from the holders at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

The Company issued the 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes pursuant to a single base Indenture among the Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the Trustee. The Indenture provides, among other things, that the 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company’s payment obligations under the 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes are fully and unconditionally, as well as jointly and severally, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantor Subsidiaries, in addition to any future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee or become borrowers under its credit agreement, or guarantee certain other indebtedness incurred by the Company or its restricted subsidiaries. The Indenture was supplemented during the first quarter of 2016 to include the changes in Guarantor Subsidiaries noted above.

The Indenture governing the 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes contains customary event of default provisions (including, without limitation, defaults relating to the failure to pay at final maturity or the acceleration of certain other indebtedness). If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee under the Indenture or holders of at least 25% in principal amount of such notes may declare the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all such notes to be due and payable. The Indenture also contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends or make other restricted payments, (ii) make certain investments, (iii) incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, (iv) create liens, (v) pay dividends or make other payments (except for certain dividends and payments to the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company), (vi) merge or consolidate with other entities or sell substantially all of its assets, (vii) enter into transactions with affiliates, and (viii) engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions. The foregoing limitations are subject to exceptions as set forth in the Indenture. In addition, if in the future, the 2022 Notes or 2024 Notes have an investment grade credit rating by both Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, certain of these covenants will, thereafter, no longer apply to the 2022 Notes or 2024 Notes for so long as the 2022 Notes or 2024 Notes are rated investment grade by the two rating agencies.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements — In June 2016 and February 2018, the Company entered into $500 million and $1,625 million, respectively, of long-term interest rate swap agreements to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate base. The swaps cover a period through February 28, 2025.

Fair Value - At December 31, 2019, the aggregate fair value of the Company's total debt was $2,146.1 million and its carrying value was $2,118.8 million. At December 31, 2018, the aggregate fair value of the Company's total debt was $2,311.3 million and its carrying value was $2,318.8 million. The fair values of Term Loan A and Term Loan A-1 were estimated using present value techniques and market-based interest rates and credit spreads. The fair values of the Company's 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes were estimated based on quoted market prices for similar instruments due to their infrequent trading volume. Accordingly, the fair value of the Company's debt is classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Finance Lease Obligations and Other — The Company owes $3.9 million related to finance leases. Finance lease obligations represent machinery and equipment financing obligations, which are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest, and are collateralized by the related assets financed. Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding the Company's finance leases.

Deferred Financing Costs – As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, deferred financing costs of $15.7 million and $22.7 million were included as a direct deduction from outstanding long-term debt. Fees associated with the Revolving Credit Facility are presented in Other assets, net.

Stockholders' Equity	14. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Common Stock — The Company has authorized 90 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. No dividends have been declared or paid. Share Repurchase Authorization — On November 2, 2017, the Company announced that the Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $400 million of the Company’s common stock at any time, or from time to time. Any repurchases under the program may be made by means of open market transactions, negotiated block transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The size and timing of any repurchases will depend on price, market and business conditions, and other factors. The Company was authorized to enter into an administrative repurchase plan for $50 million of the $400 million in fiscal 2018. The administrative repurchase plan expired as of December 31, 2018. The Company continues to have the ability to make discretionary repurchases up to an annual cap of $150 million under the $400 million total authorization. Any shares repurchased will be held as treasury stock. There were no amounts repurchased during the year December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of common stock for a total of $54.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock for a total of $28.7 million. Preferred Stock — The Company has authorized 10 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. No preferred stock has been issued.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of common shares used in the diluted earnings per share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method and includes the incremental effect related to the Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation awards.

The following table summarizes the effect of the share-based compensation awards on the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2019	2018	2017
	(In millions)
Weighted average common shares outstanding	56.2	56.0	57.1
Assumed exercise/vesting of equity awards (1)	—	—	0.5
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding	56.2	56.0	57.6

(1)

Incremental shares from equity awards are computed by the treasury stock method. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, weighted average common shares outstanding is the same for the computations of basic and diluted shares because the Company had a net loss from continuing operations for the period. Equity awards, excluded from our computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive, were 1.6 million, 1.7 million, and 1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

16. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Board of Directors adopted, and the Company’s Stockholders approved, the “TreeHouse Foods, Inc. Equity and Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant awards of various types of compensation, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, other types of stock-based awards, and other cash-based compensation. The number of shares authorized to be awarded under the Plan is approximately 17.5 million, of which approximately 5.1 million remain available at December 31, 2019.

Total compensation expense related to stock-based payments and the related income tax benefit recognized in Net (loss) income from continuing operations was as follows:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2019		2018		2017
	(In millions)
Compensation expense related to stock-based payments	$	22.6	$	30.7	$	28.2
Related income tax benefit	5.8		7.7		10.4

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company entered into an amended employment agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer. The amended plan resulted in the modification of his outstanding equity awards by accelerating the vesting dates, changing outstanding performance units to vest at target, and extending the exercisability of options outstanding. Modification of the existing awards resulted in a charge of $10.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The impact of this modification on expense recognized for stock options, restricted stock units, and performance units was $1.2 million, $3.8 million, and $5.0 million, respectively.

The Company estimates that certain key executives and all directors will complete the required service conditions associated with their awards. For all other employees, the Company estimates its forfeiture rate based on historical experience.

All amounts below include continuing and discontinued operations.

Stock Options — The following table summarizes stock option activity during 2019:



	Employee Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (yrs.)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value

	(In millions)
Intrinsic value of stock options exercised	$	0.1	$	3.8	$	12.1
Tax benefit recognized from stock option exercises	—		0.7		4.6

Future compensation costs related to unvested options totaled $0.3 million at December 31, 2019 and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the grants, which averages 0.3 years. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted in 2017 was $25.56. There were no options granted in 2019 or 2018.

Stock options granted under the plan generally have a three year vesting schedule, vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, and expire ten years from the grant date. Stock options are generally only granted to employees and non-employee directors.

Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s stock price. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. We based our expected term on the simplified method as described under the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Under this approach the expected term is 6.0 years. The assumptions used to calculate the value of the stock option awards granted in 2017 are presented as follows (no stock options were granted in 2019 or 2018):



	2017
Weighted average expected volatility	26.74	%
Weighted average risk-free interest rate	2.07	%
Expected dividends	—	%
Expected term	6.0 years

Restricted Stock Units — Employee restricted stock unit awards generally vest based on the passage of time. These awards generally vest in approximately three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. Director restricted stock units vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. Certain directors have deferred receipt of their awards until either their departure from the Board of Directors or a specified date. As of December 31, 2019, the amount of director restricted stock units that have been earned and deferred totaled 91,660 units.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity during the year ended December 31, 2019:



	Employee Restricted Stock Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Director Restricted Stock Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)				(In thousands)
Outstanding, at January 1, 2019	685		$	52.20	129		$	53.75

	(In millions)
Fair value of vested restricted stock units	$	19.5	$	16.6	$	14.0
Tax benefit recognized from vested restricted stock units	3.7		2.5		5.1

Future compensation costs related to restricted stock units are approximately $18.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and will be recognized on a weighted average basis over the next 1.9 years. The grant date fair value of the awards is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date.

Performance Units — Performance unit awards are granted to certain members of management. These awards contain service and performance conditions. For each of the three performance periods, one-third of the units will accrue, multiplied by a predefined percentage generally between 0% and 200%, depending on the achievement of certain operating performance measures. Additionally, for the cumulative performance period, a number of units will accrue, equal to the number of units granted multiplied by a predefined percentage generally between 0% and 200%, depending on the achievement of certain operating performance measures, less any units previously accrued. Accrued units will be converted to stock or cash, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, generally, on the third anniversary of the grant date. The Company intends to settle these awards in stock and has the shares available to do so.

The following table summarizes the performance unit activity during the year ended December 31, 2019:



	Performance Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Unvested, at January 1, 2019	176		$	71.49

Fair value of vested performance units	$	0.9	$	7.6	$	7.8
Tax benefit recognized from performance units vested	0.2		0.1		2.5

Future compensation costs related to the performance units are estimated to be approximately $15.1 million as of December 31, 2019, and are expected to be recognized over the next 2.0 years. The grant date fair value of the awards is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Employee Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

18. EMPLOYEE PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Postretirement Benefits — Certain of our employees and retirees participate in pension and other postretirement benefit plans. In connection with the acquisition of the Private Brands Business, the Company acquired three pension plans and one postretirement benefit plan. The obligations related to these plans were assumed by the Company at the acquisition date. Employee benefit plan obligations and expenses included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are determined based on plan assumptions, employee demographic data, including years of service and compensation, benefits and claims paid, and employer contributions. The information below includes the activities of the Company's continuing and discontinued operations.

Defined Contribution Plans — Certain of our union and non-union employees participate in savings and profit sharing plans. These plans generally provide for salary reduction contributions to the plans on behalf of the participants of between 1% and 80% of a participant’s annual compensation and provide for employer matching and profit sharing contributions. The Company established a tax-qualified defined contribution plan to manage the assets. On a continuing operations basis, for 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company made matching and profit sharing contributions to the plans of $19.4 million, $19.3 million, and $20.7 million, respectively.

Multiemployer Pension Plans - The Company contributes to several multiemployer pension plans on behalf of employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. These plans are administered jointly by management and union representatives and cover substantially all full-time and certain part-time union employees who are not covered by other plans. The risks of participating in multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (1) assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (2) if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers, and (3) if the Company chooses to stop participating in a multiemployer plan, we could, under certain circumstances, be liable for unfunded vested benefits or other expenses of jointly administered union/management plans.

The Company’s participation in multiemployer pension plans is outlined in the table below. The EIN column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) of each plan. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available in 2019 and 2018 is for the plan’s years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan, and is certified by the plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The FIP column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan “(“FIP”) is either pending or has been implemented. The last column lists the expiration dates of the collective bargaining agreements to which the plans are subject. The Company began participating in the Bakery and Confectionery Union and Industry International Pension Fund and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store International Union and Industry Pension Fund in 2016 as a result of the acquisition of the Private Brands Business. There have been no other significant changes in the number of Company employees covered by the multiemployer plans or other significant events that would affect the comparability of contributions to the plans.

(1)	During 2019, the Company executed a complete withdrawal from the Retail, Wholesale, and Department Store International Union and Industry Pension Fund and settled a withdrawal liability of $4.3 million.


(2)	The Company partially withdrew from the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan Trust as a result of the closure of its City of Industry, California facility during 2016. As a result, there is no collective bargaining agreement related to this plan.

No other withdrawal liabilities were established related to multiemployer pension plans, as withdrawal from the remaining plans is not probable as of December 31, 2019.

The Company was listed in the following plan’s Form 5500 as providing more than 5.0% of the total contributions for the following plan and plan years:



		Years Contribution to Plan Exceeded
		5% of Total Contributions

Other Postretirement Benefits — Certain employees participate in benefit programs that provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and their eligible dependents. The plans are unfunded. The Company estimates that its 2020 contributions to its postretirement benefit plans will be $1.6 million. The measurement date for the other postretirement benefit plans is December 31.

The Company contributes to certain multiemployer postretirement benefit plans other than pensions on behalf of employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. These plans are administered jointly by management and union representatives and cover all eligible retirees. These plans are primarily health and welfare funds and carry the same multiemployer risks as identified at the beginning of this Note. Total contributions to these plans were $0.2 million, $1.5 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans —The Company established a tax-qualified pension plan and master trust to manage the portion of the pension plan assets related to eligible salaried, non-union, and union employees not covered by a multiemployer pension plan. We also retain investment consultants to assist our Investment Committee with formulating a long-term investment policy for the master trust. The expected long-term rate of return on assets is based on projecting long-term market returns for the various asset classes in which the plan’s assets are invested, weighted by the target asset allocations. The estimated ranges are primarily based on observations of historical asset returns and their historical volatility. In determining the expected returns, we also consider consensus forecasts of certain market and economic factors that influence returns, such as inflation, gross domestic product trends, and dividend yields. Active management of the plan assets may result in adjustments to the historical returns. We review the rate of return assumption annually.

Our investment objectives are to minimize the volatility of the value of our pension assets relative to our pension liabilities and to ensure assets are sufficient to pay plan benefits. In 2018, we adopted a broad pension de-risking strategy intended to align the characteristics of our assets relative to our liabilities. The strategy targets investments depending on the funded status of the obligation. We anticipate this strategy will continue in future years and will be dependent upon market conditions and plan characteristics.

At December 31, 2019, our master trust was invested as follows: investments in equity securities were at 40%; investments in fixed income were at 53%; investments in hedge funds were at 6%; and cash equivalents were less than 1%. We believe the allocation of our master trust investments as of December 31, 2019 is generally consistent with the targets set forth by our Investment Committee.

The fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:



	December 31,
	2019		2018
	(in millions)
Equity funds (a)	$	118.4	$	90.6
Fixed income funds (b)	157.3		143.6
Alternative funds (c)	16.5		16.1
Cash and equivalents (d)	1.8		1.7
	$	294.0	$	252.0

(a) This investment class includes domestic and international equity funds that includes both large and small/mid cap funds that track the S&P index as well as other equity indices. The Company elected the NAV practical expedient to value these funds.

(b) This investment class includes U.S. Treasury index funds as well as bond funds representative of the United States bond and debt markets with varying benchmark indices. The Company elected the NAV practical expedient to value these funds.

(c) This investment class primarily includes private equity funds. The valuation is based on NAV as reported by the asset

manager or investment company and adjusted for cash flows, if necessary. In making such an assessment, a variety of factors are reviewed by management, including but not limited to the timeliness of NAV as reported by the asset manager and changes in general economic and market conditions subsequent to the last NAV reported by the asset manager.

(d) Includes cash and cash equivalents such as short-term marketable securities. Cash and cash equivalents include

money market funds, which are valued based on NAV.

Pension benefits for eligible salaried and non-union employees were frozen in 2002 for years of creditable service. For these employees, incremental pension benefits are only earned for changes in compensation affecting final average pay. Pension benefits earned by union employees covered by collective bargaining agreements, but not participating in multiemployer pension plans, are earned based on creditable years of service and the specified benefit amounts negotiated as part of the collective bargaining agreements. The Company’s funding policy provides that annual contributions to the pension plan master trust will be at least equal to the minimum amounts required by Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company estimates that its 2020 contributions to its pension plans will be $2.2 million. The measurement date for the defined benefit pension plans is December 31.

Commitments and Contingencies	20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation, Investigations, and Audits - On November 16, 2016, a purported TreeHouse shareholder filed a class action captioned Tarara v. TreeHouse Foods, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:16-cv-10632, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against TreeHouse and certain of its officers. The complaint, amended on March 24, 2017, is purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of TreeHouse common stock from January 20, 2016 through and including November 2, 2016. It asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and seeks, among other things, damages and costs and expenses. On December 22, 2016, another purported TreeHouse shareholder filed an action captioned Wells v. Reed, et al., Case No. 2016-CH-16359, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against TreeHouse and certain of its officers. This complaint, purportedly brought derivatively on behalf of TreeHouse, asserts state law claims against certain officers for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste. On February 7, 2017, another purported TreeHouse shareholder filed an action captioned Lavin v. Reed, et al., Case No. 17-cv-01014, in the Northern District of Illinois, against TreeHouse and certain of its officers. This complaint is also purportedly brought derivatively on behalf of TreeHouse, and it asserts state law claims against certain officers for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and corporate waste. On February 8, 2019, another purported TreeHouse shareholder filed an action captioned Bartelt v. Reed, et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-00835, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. This complaint is purportedly brought derivatively on behalf of TreeHouse and asserts state law claims against certain officers for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and corporate waste, in addition to asserting violations of Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Finally, on June 3, 2019, another purported TreeHouse shareholder filed an action captioned City of Ann Arbor Employees’ Retirement System v. Reed, et al., Case No. 2019-CH-06753, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, against TreeHouse and certain of its officers. Like Wells, Lavin, and Bartelt, this complaint is purportedly brought derivatively on behalf of TreeHouse and asserts claims for contribution and indemnification, breach of fiduciary duty, and aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty. All five complaints make substantially similar allegations (though the amended complaint in Tarara now contains additional detail). Essentially, the complaints allege that TreeHouse, under the authority and control of the individual defendants: (i) made certain false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and future prospects; and (ii) failed to disclose that (a) the Company’s private label business was underperforming; (b) the Company’s Flagstone business was underperforming; (c) the Company’s acquisition strategy was underperforming; (d) the Company had overstated its full-year 2016 guidance; and (e) TreeHouse’s statements lacked reasonable basis. The complaints allege that these actions artificially inflated the market price of TreeHouse common stock during the class period, thus purportedly harming investors. The Bartelt action also includes substantially similar allegations concerning events in 2017, and the Ann Arbor complaint also seeks contribution from the individual defendants for losses incurred by the company in these litigations. We believe that these claims are without merit and intend to defend against them vigorously. Since its initial docketing, the Tarara matter has been re-captioned as Public Employees’ Retirement Systems of Mississippi v. TreeHouse Foods, Inc., et al., in accordance with the Court’s order appointing Public Employees’ Retirement Systems of Mississippi as the lead plaintiff. On May 26, 2017, the Public Employees’ defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which the court denied on February 12, 2018. On April 12, 2018, the Public Employees’ defendants filed their answer to the amended complaint. On April 23, 2018, the parties filed a joint status report with the Court, which set forth a proposed discovery and briefing schedule for the Court’s consideration. On July 13, 2018, lead plaintiff filed a motion to certify the class, and defendants filed their response in opposition to the motion to certify the class on October 8, 2018. On November 12, 2018, the parties filed an agreed motion to stay proceedings to allow them to explore mediation. The motion was granted on November 19. The parties thereafter engaged in mediation but failed to resolve the dispute. On March 29, 2019, the parties resumed litigation by filing an agreed motion for extension of time, which was granted on April 9. Under that schedule, lead plaintiff filed its reply class certification brief on May 17, 2019. No hearing on class certification has been set and the motion for class certification remains pending. The Public Employees’ defendants thereafter completed their production of documents, and on December 16, 2019, the parties agreed to extend the schedule 90 days. This agreed motion was granted on December 25, 2019. Under this schedule, the deadline to file document discovery motions is now March 16, 2020; the deadline to complete fact discovery (including depositions) is June 8, 2020; and opening expert reports must be served by July 27, 2020, followed by rebuttal reports and expert discovery. Summary judgment briefing will occur February 17, 2021 through May 12, 2021. Due to the similarity of the complaints, the parties in Wells and Lavin entered stipulations deferring the litigation until the earlier of (i) the court in Public Employees’ entering an order resolving defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss therein or (ii) plaintiffs’ counsel receiving notification of a settlement of Public Employees’ or until otherwise agreed to by the parties. On September 27, 2018, the parties in Wells and Lavin filed joint motions for entry of agreed orders further deferring the matters in light of the Public Employees’ Court’s denial of the motion to dismiss in February 2018. The Wells and Lavin Courts entered the agreed orders further deferring the matters on September 27, 2018 and October 10, 2018, respectively. On June 25, 2019, the parties jointly moved to consolidate the Bartelt matter with Lavin, so that it would be subject to the Lavin deferral order. This motion was granted on June 27, 2019, and Bartelt is now consolidated with Lavin and deferred. There is no set status date in Lavin at this time. Similarly, Ann Arbor was consolidated with Wells on August 13, 2019, and is now deferred. In Wells, the next status conference is set for March 6, 2020. The Company is also party to matters challenging its wage and hour practices. These matters include a number of class actions consolidated under the caption Negrete v. Ralcorp Holdings, Inc., et al, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, in which the plaintiffs allege a pattern of violations of California and/or federal law at several current and former Company manufacturing facilities across the State of California. While the Company cannot predict with certainty the results of this or any other legal proceeding, it does not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or business. In 2011, the Company’s Sturm Foods, Inc. business was sued in an action captioned Suchanek et al v. Sturm Foods, Inc. and TreeHouse, Inc. and the suit was followed by several class action proceedings in eight states which were consolidated into one case pending in federal court in East St. Louis, Illinois. The suit’s primary allegation relates to certain purported label misrepresentations as to the nature of its Grove Square coffee products. Without admitting liability or fault, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with all related parties and matters in the amount of $25.0 million. The court has preliminarily approved the settlement which is administratively proceeding per the settlement agreement. The court has scheduled a hearing in April 2020 to address final approval of the settlement. In addition, the Company is party in the ordinary course of business to certain claims, litigation, audits, and investigations. The Company will record an accrual for a loss contingency when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes it has established adequate accruals for liabilities that are probable and reasonably estimable that may be incurred in connection with any such currently pending or threatened matter, none of which are significant. In the Company’s opinion, the settlement of any such currently pending or threatened matter is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Derivative Instruments

21. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by derivative instruments include interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, and commodity price risk. Derivative contracts are entered into for periods consistent with the related underlying exposure and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk — The Company manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates, to reduce the volatility of our financing costs, and to achieve a desired proportion of fixed versus floating-rate debt, based on current and projected market conditions.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had entered into $1.8 billion of long-term interest rate swap agreements to lock into a fixed LIBOR interest rate base. Under the terms of the agreements, $1.8 billion in variable-rate debt was swapped for a weighted average fixed interest rate base of approximately 1.54% through 2019; 2.68% from 2019 through 2020; and 2.91% from 2021 through 2025. These instruments are not accounted for under hedge accounting and the changes in their fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Foreign Currency Risk — Due to the Company’s foreign operations, it is exposed to foreign currency risk. The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to manage the risk associated with foreign currency cash flows. The Company’s objective in using foreign currency contracts is to establish a fixed foreign currency exchange rate for the net cash flow requirements for purchases that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and changes in their fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $15.9 million of U.S. dollar foreign currency contracts outstanding, expiring throughout 2020.

Commodity Risk — Certain commodities the Company uses in the production and distribution of its products are exposed to market price risk. The Company utilizes derivative contracts to manage this risk. The majority of commodity forward contracts are not derivatives, and those that are generally qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities and, therefore, are not subject to its provisions. For derivative commodity contracts that do not qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception, the Company records their fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in value being recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company’s derivative commodity contracts may include contracts for diesel, oil, plastics, natural gas, electricity, resin, corn, and other commodity contracts that do not meet the requirements for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception.

Diesel contracts are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying cost of diesel fuel used to deliver products. Contracts for oil, plastics, and resin are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the underlying commodity cost of a significant component used in packaging materials. Contracts for natural gas and electricity are used to manage the Company’s risk associated with the utility costs of its manufacturing facilities, and commodity contracts that are derivatives that do not meet the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are used to manage the price risk associated with raw material costs. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding contracts for the purchase of 0.1 million megawatts of electricity, expiring throughout 2020 and 2021; 16.5 million gallons of diesel, expiring throughout 2020; 5.7 million dekatherms of natural gas, expiring throughout 2020.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, asset derivatives are included within Other assets, net and liability derivatives are included within Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair values of the commodity contracts, foreign currency contracts, and interest rate swap agreements are determined using Level 2 inputs. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair values of the commodity contracts, foreign currency contracts, and interest rate swap agreements are based on an analysis comparing the contract rates to the market rates at the balance sheet date.

We recorded the following gains and losses on our derivative contracts in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment and Geographic Information and Major Customers

22. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

On January 1, 2020, the Company changed how it manages its business, allocates resources, and goes to market, which resulted in modifications to its organizational and segment structure. As a result, the Company reorganized from a three segment structure previously organized by product category (Baked Goods, Beverages, and Meal Solutions) to a two segment structure organized by market dynamics (Meal Preparation and Snacking & Beverages). In connection with this segment reorganization, the Company also recast expenses related to its commercial sales organization from direct selling, general, and administrative expense previously included within the segments to corporate unallocated selling, general, and administrative expense to align with the revised organizational structure. All prior period information has been recast to reflect this change in reportable segments.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Snacks division and classified the Snacks division and RTE Cereal business as discontinued operations. Values presented below are on a continuing operations basis, with prior period information recast to reflect the change. Refer to Note 8 for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

The Company manages operations on a company-wide basis, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources in total rather than on a segment-level basis. The Company has designated reportable segments based on how management views its business. The Company does not segregate assets between segments for internal reporting. Therefore, asset-related information has not been presented. The reportable segments, as presented below, are consistent with the manner in which the Company reports its results to the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

On a continuing operations basis, our segments are as follows:

Meal Preparation – Our Meal Preparation segment sells aseptic cheese & pudding; baking and mix powders; hot cereals; jams, preserves, and jellies; liquid and powdered non-dairy creamer; macaroni and cheese; mayonnaise; Mexican, barbeque, and other sauces; pasta; pickles and related products; powdered soups and gravies; refrigerated and shelf stable dressings and sauces; refrigerated dough; single serve hot beverages; skillet dinners; and table and flavored syrups.

Snacking & Beverages – Our Snacking & Beverages segment sells bars; broths; candy; cookies; crackers; in-store bakery products; pita chips; powdered drinks; pretzels; ready-to-drink coffee; retail griddle waffles, pancakes, and French toast; specialty teas; and sweeteners.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on net sales dollars and direct operating income. Direct operating income is defined as gross profit less freight out, sales commissions, and direct selling, general, and administrative expenses. The amounts in the following tables are obtained from reports used by senior management and do not include income taxes. Other expenses not allocated include unallocated selling, general, and administrative expenses, unallocated costs of sales,

and unallocated corporate expenses (amortization expense, other operating expense, and asset impairment). The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies set forth in Note 1.

Financial information relating to the Company’s reportable segments on a continuing operations basis, revised to reflect the new segment structure, is as follows:

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information

24. GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes are fully and unconditionally, as well as jointly and severally, guaranteed by our directly and indirectly owned domestic subsidiaries, which are collectively known as the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”. Bay Valley Foods, LLC, which is a 100% owned direct subsidiary, maintains 100% direct and indirect ownership of the following Guarantor Subsidiaries: Sturm Foods, Inc. (includes Cains Foods, Inc. beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019); S.T. Specialty Foods, Inc.; Associated Brands, Inc.; Protenergy Holdings, Inc.; Protenergy Natural Foods, Inc.; TreeHouse Private Brands, Inc. (formerly Ralcorp Holdings, Inc.); American Italian Pasta Company.; Linette Quality Chocolates, Inc.; Ralcorp Frozen Bakery Products, Inc.; Cottage Bakery, Inc.; The Carriage House Companies, Inc. and certain other domestic subsidiaries that may become guarantors in the future. As of August 1, 2019, Nutcracker Brands, Inc. and Flagstone Foods, Inc. are no longer Guarantor Subsidiaries due to the Snacks division divestiture. During the fourth quarter of 2019, Cains Foods, L.P. was dissolved and Cains GP, LLC was renamed as TreeHouse Foods Services, LLC. Prior periods presented in this Note have not been recast to adjust for these changes in guarantor status in order to portray the operational history of the guarantors.

The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are subject to release in limited circumstances, only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the parent company or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The following condensed supplemental consolidating financial information presents the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the parent company, its Guarantor Subsidiaries, its non-guarantor subsidiaries, and the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017. The equity method has been used with respect to investments in subsidiaries. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation — The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of TreeHouse Foods, Inc. and its 100% owned direct and indirect subsidiaries (the “Company,” “TreeHouse,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Discontinued Operations — Beginning in the third quarter of 2019, the Company determined that both its Snacks division and its Ready-to-eat ("RTE") Cereal business met the discontinued operations criteria in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20-45 and were classified as discontinued operations. As such, both businesses have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Refer to Note 8 for additional information.

Change in Segments — On January 1, 2019, the Company changed how it manages its business, allocates resources, and goes to market, which resulted in modifications to its organizational and segment structure (the “2019 Segment Change”). As a result, the Company consolidated its Condiments and Meals segments into one segment called Meal Solutions. Additionally, the Bars and Ready-to-eat cereal categories moved from the Company's Snacks and Meals segments, respectively, into the Baked Goods segment.

On January 1, 2020, the Company changed how it manages its business, allocates resources, and goes to market, which resulted in modifications to its organizational and segment structure (the "2020 Segment Change"). As a result, the Company reorganized from a three segment structure previously organized by product category (Baked Goods, Beverages, and Meal Solutions) to a two segment structure organized by market dynamics (Snacking & Beverages and Meal Preparation).

During 2019, all prior period information was originally recast to reflect the 2019 Segment Change. Upon the 2020 Segment Change, all prior period information was recast to reflect this change in reportable segments and as such, the information herein no longer presents the 2019 Segment Change. Refer to Note 22 for additional information.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates — The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to use judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents — We consider temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, $72.7 million and $86.4 million, respectively, represents cash and equivalents held in foreign jurisdictions, in local currencies, that are convertible into other currencies.

Property, plant, and equipment

Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of April 1, 2019, all the Company's inventory is valued using the FIFO method. The costs of finished goods inventories include raw materials, labor, and overhead costs.

Property, Plant, and Equipment — Property, plant, and equipment are stated at acquisition cost, plus capitalized interest on borrowings during the actual construction period of major capital projects. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:



Asset		Useful Life
Buildings and improvements		12-40 years
Machinery and equipment		3-15 years
Office furniture and equipment		3-12 years

We perform impairment tests when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Finance leases are amortized over the shorter of their lease term or their estimated useful lives, and amortization expense is included in depreciation expense. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not improve or extend the life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.

Intangible and Other Assets

Intangible and Other Assets — Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:



Asset		Useful Life
Customer-related		5 to 20 years
Trademarks		10 to 20 years
Non-competition agreements		Based on the terms of the agreements
Deferred financing costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements		Based on the terms of the agreements
Formulas/recipes		5 to 7 years
Computer software		3 to 10 years

All amortization expense related to intangible assets is recorded in Amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Indefinite lived trademarks are evaluated for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Impairment is indicated when their book value exceeds fair value. If the fair value of an evaluated asset is less than its book value, the asset is written down to fair value, which is generally based on its discounted future cash flows.

Amortizable intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows.

Goodwill is evaluated annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances require an interim assessment. We assess goodwill for impairment (as of December 31) at the reporting unit level using income and market approaches, employing significant assumptions regarding growth, discount rates, and profitability at each reporting unit. Our estimates under the income approach are determined based on a discounted cash flow model. The market approach uses a market multiple methodology employing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and applies a range of multiples to those amounts in determining the indicated fair value. In determining the multiples used in this approach, we obtain the multiples for selected peer companies using the most recent publicly available information. In determining the indicated fair value of each reporting unit, the Company concludes based on the income approach, and uses the market approach to corroborate, as the Company believes the income approach is the most reliable indicator of the fair value of the reporting units. The resulting value is then compared to the carrying value of each reporting unit to determine if impairment is necessary.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation — We measure compensation expense for our equity awards at their grant date fair value. The resulting expense is recognized over the relevant service period.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable — We provide credit terms to customers in-line with industry standards, perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience. Customer balances are written off after all collection efforts are exhausted. Estimated product returns, which have not been material, are deducted from sales at the time of shipment.

Employee-Related Benefits

Employment-Related Benefits — We provide a range of benefits to our employees, including pension and postretirement benefits to our eligible employees and retirees. We record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by GAAP, which include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed investment rates of return, compensation increases, employee turnover rates, and health care cost trend rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate.

Workers' Compensation — The measurement of the liability for our cost of providing these benefits is largely based upon loss development factors that contemplate a number of variables, including claims history and expected trends. These loss development factors are based on industry factors and, along with the estimated liabilities, are developed by us in consultation

with external insurance brokers and actuaries. Changes in loss development factors, claims history, and cost trends could result in substantially different results in the future.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes — The provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, state, and local income taxes currently payable, and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position, or the statute of limitations concerning such issues lapses.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions — The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using currency exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date, and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate during the fiscal year. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of Stockholders’ equity in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies and intercompany debt that is not of a long-term investment nature are included in (Gain) loss on foreign currency exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains or losses resulting from intercompany debt that is designated a long-term investment are recorded as a separate component of Stockholders' equity in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Restructuring Expenses

Restructuring Expenses — Restructuring charges principally consist of severance and other employee separation costs, contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation, professional fees, and certain long-lived asset impairments. The Company recognizes restructuring obligations and liabilities for exit and disposal activities at fair value in the period the liability is incurred. One-time employee termination benefits for employee severance costs are expensed evenly starting at the communication date over the period during which the employee is required to render service to receive the severance. Ongoing benefit arrangements for employee severance costs are expensed when they become probable and reasonably estimable. Depreciation expense related to assets that will be disposed of or idled as a part of the restructuring activity is accelerated through the expected date of the asset shut down. Restructuring charges are incurred as a component of Operating (loss) income.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs — We record research and development charges to expense as they are incurred and report them in General and administrative expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported in Selling and distribution expense of our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between legacy GAAP and this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under legacy GAAP. The standard requires that entities apply the effects of these changes using a modified retrospective approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (842), Targeted Improvements, which provides an additional transition election to not restate comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. This transition election permits entities to apply ASU No. 2016-02 on the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. These ASU's are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

The Company adopted these ASUs as of January 1, 2019 under the modified retrospective transition method prescribed by ASU 2018-11. Under this transition method, financial results reported in periods prior to the first quarter of 2019 are unchanged. On a continuing operations basis, the adoption of these ASUs resulted in the recognition of approximately $221.5 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Also as a result of adoption, the Company reclassified $17.2 million of liabilities and $0.6 million of assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019 against the operating lease right-of-use asset. The adoption of these ASUs did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted by the transition guidance. The adoption of these ASU’s did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows.

Refer to Note 4 for additional information regarding the Company's leases.
