Basis Of Presentation And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Background

Berry Plastics Group, Inc. ("Berry," "we," or the "Company") is a leading provider of value-added plastic consumer packaging, nonwoven specialty materials and engineered materials with a track record of delivering high-quality customized solutions to our customers. Representative examples of our products include closures, prescription vials, specialty films, adhesives, nonwovens, drink cups, containers, and bottles. We sell our products predominantly into stable, consumer-oriented end-markets, such as healthcare, personal care, and food and beverage.

Basis of Presentation

Periods presented in these financial statements include fiscal periods ending October 1, 2016 ("fiscal 2016"), September 26, 2015 ("fiscal 2015"), and September 27, 2014 ("fiscal 2014"). Prior to the acquisition of Avintiv, Inc., the Company operated in four operating segments: Rigid Open top, Rigid Closed top, Engineered Materials and Flexible Packaging. In November 2015, Berry realigned its reporting structure, and now through its wholly-owned subsidiaries operates in three operating segments: Health, Hygiene & Specialties, Consumer Packaging, and Engineered Materials. The Company has recast all prior period amounts to conform to this new reporting structure. The Company's customers are located principally throughout the United States, without significant concentration with any one customer. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company's fiscal year is based on fifty-two or fifty-three week periods. Fiscal 2016 is a fifty-three week period and Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2014 are fifty-two week periods. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Berry and its subsidiaries, all of which includes our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of consolidated subsidiaries is less than 100% the non-controlling interests are reflected in Non-controlling interest and Redeemable non-controlling interests.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sales of products is recognized at the time title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, coupons, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in gross sales to arrive at net sales. In accordance with the Revenue Recognition standards of the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC"), the Company provides for these items as reductions of revenue at the later of the date of the sale or the date the incentive is offered. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience.

Shipping, handling, purchasing, receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and other costs of distribution are presented in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company classifies amounts charged to its customers for shipping and handling in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Purchases of Raw Materials and Concentration of Risk

The Company's most significant raw material used in the production of its products is plastic resin. The largest supplier of the Company's total resin material requirements represented approximately 16% of purchases in fiscal 2016. The Company uses a variety of suppliers to meet its resin requirements.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $48 million, $33 million, and $32 million in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The compensation guidance of the FASB requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be

recognized in financial statements based on alternative fair value models. The share-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company's share-based compensation plan is more fully described in Note 12. The Company recorded total stock compensation expense of $20 million, $21 million, and $15 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock options. The model allows for the use of a range of assumptions. Expected volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model are based on implied volatilities from traded stocks of peer companies. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and the estimate of future dividend yields. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company's options have a ten year contractual life. For purposes of the valuation model in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, the Company used the simplified method for determining the granted options expected lives (see footnote 12).

Foreign Currency

For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity (deficit). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company's accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts are analyzed in detail on a quarterly basis and all significant customers with delinquent balances are reviewed to determine future collectability. The determinations are based on legal issues (such as bankruptcy status), past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and the experience of the credit representatives. Reserves are established in the quarter in which the Company makes the determination that the account is deemed uncollectible. The Company maintains additional reserves based on its historical bad debt experience. The following table summarizes the activity for fiscal years ended for the allowance for doubtful accounts:

		2016			2015			2014
Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning	$	3		$	3		$	3
Avintiv allowance for doubtful accounts		6			—			—
Bad debt expense		1			2			—
Write-offs against allowance		(2	)		(2	)		—
Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending	$	8		$	3		$	3

Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreements

A number of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have entered into factoring agreements to sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. The Company accounts for these transactions in accordance with ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing" ("ASC 860"). ASC 860 allows for the ownership transfer of accounts receivable to qualify for sale treatment when the appropriate criteria is met, which permits the Company to present the balances sold under the program to be excluded from Accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Receivables are considered sold when (i) they are transferred beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, (ii) the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and (iii) the Company has surrendered control over the transferred receivables. In addition, the Company provides no other forms of continued financial support to the purchaser of the receivables once the receivables are sold. The table below summarizes the total amount of accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, sold under these factoring arrangements:


		2016			2015
Trade receivables sold to financial institutions	$	23		$	—
Net amounts advanced from financial institutions		(18	)		—
Amounts due from financial institutions	$	5		$	—

In addition to the programs described above, the Company has a U.S. based program where certain U.S. based receivables are sold to unrelated third-party financial institutions. There were no amounts outstanding from the financial institutions related to U.S. based programs at October 1, 2016. The fees associated with transfer of receivables for all programs were not material for any of the periods presented.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. The cost of spare parts is charged to cost of goods sold when purchased. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Inventory as of fiscal 2016 and 2015 was:


Inventories:		2016		2015
Finished goods	$	397	$	309
Raw materials		263		213
	$	660	$	522

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 5 to 25 years for buildings and improvements, 2 to 10 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling and over the term of the agreement for capital leases. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company capitalized interest of $6 million in each of fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Property, plant and equipment as of fiscal 2016 and 2015 was:


Property, plant and equipment:		2016			2015
Land, buildings and improvements	$	667		$	367
Equipment and construction in progress		3,552			2,618
		4,219			2,985
Less accumulated depreciation		(1,995	)		(1,691	)
	$	2,224		$	1,294

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment," whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset's carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows or appraisals as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for sale are reported at the lower of the assets' carrying amount or fair value less costs related to the assets' disposition. We recorded impairment charges totaling $3 million, $2 million, and $7 million to property, plant and equipment assets to their net realizable valuables in connection with facility shutdowns during fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Goodwill

The Company follows the principles provided by ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." Goodwill is not amortized but rather reviewed annually for impairment. In connection with the Company's segment re-alignment, the Company performed a goodwill assessment before and after the segment realignment to determine if any impairment was present, noting that in each case the fair value of the reporting unit for each of historical reporting units exceeded its carrying value. The Company performed their annual impairment evaluation on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter. For purposes of conducting our annual goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that we have seven reporting units, Health, Hygiene & Specialties ("HHS") – North America, HHS – South America, HHS – Europe, HHS – Asia, Consumer Packaging, Engineered Materials, and Tapes. We determined that each of the components within our respective reporting units should be aggregated for our Consumer Packaging, Engineered Materials and Tapes reporting units. We reached this conclusion because within each of these three reporting units, we have similar products, management oversight, production processes, markets served, and/or common geographic region which allow us to share resources across the product lines. We regularly re-align our production equipment and manufacturing facilities in order to take advantage of cost savings

opportunities, obtain synergies and create manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, we utilize our research and development centers, design center, tool shops, and graphics center which all provide benefits to each of the reporting units and work on new products that can benefit multiple product lines. We also believe that the goodwill is recoverable from the overall operations of the unit given our synergies from leveraging the combined resources, common raw materials, common research and development, similar margins and similar distribution methodologies. In our HHS segment, we operate in four geographical regions where our management teams for each geography oversee the operations and allocate the resources across the entire region. In fiscal year 2016, and due to the segment realignment, the Company opted to perform a step 1 quantitative evaluation in accordance with ASC 350 to establish a baseline for the fair value of each reporting unit. The Company utilizes a combination of the discounted cash flow analysis and comparable company valuation methods to determine the fair values of its reporting units in accordance with ASC 820. The Company determined that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. In fiscal year 2015, the Company applied the qualitative assessment and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. In fiscal 2014, the Company applied the qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount, and due to the decline in operating income in the Rigid Open Top reporting unit, we completed step 1 of the impairment test which indicated no impairment existed. The Company has recognized cumulative goodwill impairment charges of $165 million, which occurred in Fiscal 2011.

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

					Health,
		Consumer			Hygiene &			Engineered
		Packaging			Specialties			Materials			Total
Balance as of fiscal 2014		1,524			49			86		$	1,659
Foreign currency translation adjustment		(5	)		(2	)		(2	)		(9	)

Acquisitions, net		—			740			—			740
Balance as of fiscal 2016	$	1,520		$	801		$	85		$	2,406

Deferred Financing Fees

Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt agreements. Pursuant to ASC 835-30 the Company presents $75 million of its debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. In addition, the remaining $4 million of deferred charges, which relate to the Company's revolving line of credit, are presented in Other assets.

Intangible Assets

Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships which range from 10 to 15 years. Trademarks that are expected to remain in use, which are indefinite lived intangible assets, are required to be reviewed for impairment annually. Technology intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the technology which range from 8 to 14 years. License intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the license which is 10 years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. The Company has certain tradenames that total approximately $248 million that are indefinite lived and we test annually for impairment on the first day of the fourth quarter. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived trade names utilizing the relief from royalty method on the first day of the fourth quarter for each of our indefinite lived assets and noted no impairment in Fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Insurable Liabilities

The Company records liabilities for the self-insured portion of workers' compensation, health, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated based upon historical claims experience.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company's effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company's ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the United States.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive losses include net unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries, changes in the value of our derivative instruments and adjustments to the pension liability.

The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (amounts below are net of taxes):

Accrued Rebates

The Company offers various rebates to customers based on purchases. These rebate programs are individually negotiated with customers and contain a variety of different terms and conditions. Certain rebates are calculated as flat percentages of purchases, while others included tiered volume incentives. These rebates may be payable monthly, quarterly, or annually. The calculation of the accrued rebate balance involves significant management estimates, especially where the terms of the rebate involve tiered volume levels that require estimates of expected annual sales. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience. The accrual for customer rebates was $54 million and $53 million at the end of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Pension

Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and health-care-cost trend rates. Periodically, the Company evaluates the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets in its defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans. In evaluating these assumptions, the Company considers many factors, including an evaluation of the discount rates, expected return on plan assets and the health-care-cost trend rates of other companies; historical assumptions compared with actual results; an analysis of current market conditions and asset allocations; and the views of advisers.

Net Income Per Share

The Company calculates basic net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a final standard on revenue recognition. Under the new standard, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to do so, an entity would follow the five-step process for in-scope transactions: 1) identify the contract with a customer, 2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For public entities, the provisions of the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. Early adoption for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted. An entity can apply the new revenue standard on a full retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented or on a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. The Company is in the process of determining our approach to the adoption of this new standard, and the anticipated impact to the consolidated financial statements which will not be effective until our Fiscal 2019.

Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory to simplify the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using last-in, first out or the retail inventory method. Under the new standard, inventory should be at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016. Its effect did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Business Combinations

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments which requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. Entities should present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the footnotes the portion of the measurement period adjustment recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016.

Income Taxes

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. This update requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position. The update is effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016, on a prospective basis, resulting in a $175 million reclassification of our net current deferred tax asset to the net long-term deferred tax liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new standard, the lessee of an operating lease will be required to do the following: 1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, 2) recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and 3) classify all cash payments within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Companies will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective approach, and amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its Simplification Initiative. The new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance effective for our fiscal year ending October 1, 2016, on a retrospective basis, and recorded a $36 million deferred income tax asset through accumulated equity (deficit) for periods prior to fiscal 2016. The Company recorded a $15 million deferred income tax asset and income tax benefit for fiscal 2016. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on our statement of cash flows and the Company elected to continue to estimate a forfeiture rate and record adjustments based on actual experience.

Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisition

2. Acquisition

AVINTIV Inc.

In October 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of AVINTIV Inc. ("Avintiv") for a purchase price of $2.26 billion, net of cash acquired. Avintiv was one of the world's leading developers, producers, and marketers of nonwoven specialty materials used in hygiene, infection prevention, personal care, industrial, construction, and filtration applications. With 23 locations in 14 countries, an employee base of over 4,500 people as of the acquisition date, the broadest range of process technologies in the nonwoven industry, and strategically located manufacturing facilities, Avintiv was positioned as a global supplier to many of the same leading consumer and industrial product manufacturers as Berry's existing business. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on fair values at the acquisition date. The results of Avintiv have been included in the consolidated results of the Company since the date of the acquisition and are included in our Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment. Avintiv had $1.8 billion of consolidated sales in Fiscal 2016. The Company has recognized goodwill on this transaction primarily as a result of expected synergies of Avintiv, and does not expect goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation:


Working capital ^(a)	$	198
Property and equipment		964
Intangible assets		631
Goodwill		737
Avintiv debt assumed		(53	)
Non-controlling interest - Providencia		(63	)
Deferred purchase price - Providencia		(30	)
Deferred taxes		(59	)
Other assets		28
Other long-term liabilities		(93	)

(a) Includes an $11 million step up of inventory to fair value

The Company has allocated the purchase price based on a fair value analysis to working capital, long-term assets and liabilities,

property and equipment, intangible assets (customer relationships, technology & tradenames), pension, deferred income taxes and goodwill. The Company has utilized variations of the income method for purposes of valuing the intangible assets and considered various methods for the real and personal property including the new cost, replacement cost and current cost estimates to determine the overall fair value. The Company considered the various regions of the world that Avintiv operates in and the overall inflation and GDP growth along with potential cost synergies and historical results of Avintiv in determining the fair values.

The Company is still in the process of reaching settlement on the purchase price with the sellers and has recorded an estimate as of October 1, 2016. The Company does not expect the final settlement of the purchase price to have a material impact on the financial statements.

The deferred purchase price relates to certain tax claims of Companhia Providência Indústria e Comércio ("Providência") at the time Providência was acquired by Avintiv. If the claims are resolved in the Company's favor, the deferred purchase price will be paid to the legacy Providência shareholders. However, if the Company or Providência incur actual tax liability in respect to these claims, the amount of deferred purchase price will be reduced by the amount of such actual tax liability. The Company will be responsible for any actual tax liability in excess of the deferred purchase price.

Unaudited pro forma net sales were $6.7 billion for the year ended September 26, 2015. Unaudited pro forma net losses were $28 million for the year ended September 26, 2015. The unaudited pro forma net sales and net losses assume that the Avintiv acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period.

The unaudited pro forma information presented above is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Avintiv acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. Further, the information reflects only pro forma adjustments for additional interest expense, depreciation, and amortization, net of the applicable income tax effects.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for a business combination (or series of individually immaterial business combinations) completed during the period, including background, timing, and recognized assets and liabilities. The disclosure may include leverage buyout transactions (as applicable).

Long-Term Debt [Abstract]

Long-Term Debt

3. Long-Term Debt

During fiscal 2016, the Company has made $524 million of repayments on long-term borrowings using existing liquidity.

Revolving Line of Credit

In May 2015, the Company amended the credit agreement relating to its existing $650 million secured revolving credit facility to extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from June 2016 to May 2020 and to reduce interest margins and certain commitment fees.

5 ¹/₈% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes

In June 2015, the Company issued $700 million of 5¹/₈% second priority senior secured notes due July 2023. Interest on the 5¹/₈% second priority senior secured notes is due semi-annually on January 15 and July 15. Proceeds from the issuance and existing liquidity were used to satisfy and discharge all of the outstanding 9¾% second priority senior secured notes. The Company recognized a $94 million loss on extinguishment of debt, including $83 million of early tender and redemption costs and an $11 million write-off of deferred financing fees.

6% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes

In October 2015, the Company issued $400 million of 6% second priority senior secured notes due October 2022. Interest on these notes is due semi-annually in April and October. The proceeds from these notes, in addition to the incremental term loan due October 2022, were used to finance the Avintiv acquisition. The Company recognized $5 million of deferred financing fees related to this debt issuance.

Term Loans

In October 2015, the Company entered into an incremental assumption agreement to increase the commitments under the existing term loan credit agreement by $2.1 billion. The incremental assumption agreement provided for that incremental term loan to bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, to mature in October 2022 and to be subject to customary amortization. The proceeds from the incremental term loan, in addition to the 6% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes, were used to finance the Avintiv acquisition. The Company recognized $11 million of debt discount and $25 million of deferred financing fees related to this assumption agreement.

In June 2016, the Company entered into an incremental assumption agreement and amendment to lower the interest rates under certain

of the existing term loans. The term loan maturing in January 2021 now bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The term loan maturing in October 2022 now bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. Additionally, if the Company is able to achieve a net first lien secured leverage ratio below 3.0 to 1.0, the interest rate on the term loan maturing in October 2022 will be reduced to LIBOR plus 2.50%. All other terms remain unchanged. The term loans are considered to be a loan syndication and as a result, a portion of the existing term loans were modified and a portion were considered to be extinguished. The Company recorded $4 million to loss on debt extinguishment, reflecting the write-off of deferred financing fees and debt discounts, net of amortization associated with the portion of the debt that was considered extinguished. The Company also capitalized an incremental $2 million of debt discount related to the assumption agreement executed in June 2016.

Debt discounts and deferred financing fees are presented net of Long-term debt, less the current portion in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized to Interest expense through maturity.

Long-term debt consists of the following:

Berry Plastics Corporation Senior Secured Credit Facility

Our wholly owned subsidiary Berry Plastics Corporation's senior secured credit facilities consist of $4.1 billion of term loans and a $650 million asset-based revolving line of credit. The availability under the revolving line of credit is the lesser of $650 million or based on a defined borrowing base which is calculated based on available accounts receivable and inventory.

The borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, as determined at the Company's option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent, in the case of the term loan facility or Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, in the case of the revolving credit facility and (2) the U.S. federal funds rate plus ¹/₂of 1% or (b) LIBOR determined by reference to the costs of funds for eurodollar deposits in dollars in the London interbank market for the interest period relevant to such borrowing Bank Compliance for certain additional costs. The applicable margin for LIBOR rate borrowings under the revolving credit facility ranges from 1.25% to 1.75%, the term loan maturing in February 2020 is 2.50% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, the term loan maturing in January 2021 is 2.50% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, and the term loan maturing in October 2022 is 2.75% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.

The term loan facility requires minimum quarterly principal payments of $4 million, with the remaining amount payable upon maturity. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary "breakage" costs with respect to eurodollar loans. The senior secured credit facilities contain various restrictive covenants that, among other things and subject to specified exceptions, prohibit the Company from prepaying other indebtedness, and restrict its ability to incur indebtedness or liens, make investments or declare or pay any dividends. All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of the Company's existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The guarantees of those obligations are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets as well as those of each domestic subsidiary guarantor.

Despite not having financial maintenance covenants, our debt agreements contain certain negative covenants. We believe we are in compliance will all covenants as of October 1, 2016. The failure to comply with these negative covenants could restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, effect acquisitions, enter into certain significant business combinations, make distributions or redeem indebtedness.

Future maturities of long-term debt as of fiscal year end 2016 are as follows:


Fiscal Year		Maturities
2017	$	43

2019		39
2020		1,335
2021		833
Thereafter		3,522

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements

4. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to help manage market risk and reduce the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, as determined by FASB guidance, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item and recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management believes hedge effectiveness is evaluated properly in preparation of the financial statements.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

The primary purposes of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with the changes in foreign currencies on anticipated future foreign cash movements for certain jurisdictions. The changes in fair value of these derivative contracts are recognized in other income, net, on our consolidated statements of operations and are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany loan. The foreign currency forward contracts are Level 2 fair value measurements and we use a discounted cash flow analysis along with significant other observable inputs to determine the fair value of the foreign currency forward contract if it is outstanding at the end of the period. These contracts are typically entered into and settled within the given quarterly reporting period.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The categorization of the framework used to price these derivative instruments is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement, and we utilize a discounted cash flow calculation along with significant other observable inputs to determine the fair value.

In February 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt. The agreement swapped the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed annual rate of 2.355% with an effective date in May 2016 and expiration in May 2019. In June 2013, the Company elected to settle this derivative instrument and received $16 million as a result of this settlement. The effective portion of the interest rate swap is included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized to Interest expense from May 2016 through May 2019, the original term of the swap agreement.

In March 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt. The agreement swaps the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed annual rate of 2.59%, with an effective date in February 2016 and expiration in February 2019.

In September 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt from future interest rate volatility. The agreement swapped the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed annual rate of 1.7185%, with an effective date in December 2015 and expiration in June 2019.

The Company records the changes in fair value of derivative instruments designated for hedge accounting as prescribed in ASC 815 –Derivatives and Hedging, in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax which are included in Deferred income taxes. All other changes in derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments flow through the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has designated all of their interest rate swaps as hedges.


	Balance Sheet Location		2016		2015
Interest rate swaps	Other long-term liabilities	$	45	$	36

The effect of the Company's derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Operations is as follows:


			Fiscal years Ended
	Statement of		October 1,		September 26,		September 27,
Derivatives instruments	Operations Location		2016		2015		2014
Interest rate swaps	Interest expense, net	$	16	$	—	$	—
Foreign currency swaps	Other (income) expense	$	13	$	—	$	—

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements and capital lease obligations. The fair value of our long-term indebtedness exceeded book value by $56 million as of fiscal 2016, while conversely, its book value exceeded fair value by $55 million as of fiscal 2015. The Company's long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment indicators are present or when the Company completes an acquisition. See Note 2 for discussion of the Avintiv and the non-recurring fair value measurement considerations that were utilized in the purchase price allocation. The Company adjusts certain long-lived assets to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to value the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value (see Note 1 and 5 for additional discussion). These assets that are subject to our annual impairment analysis primarily include our definite lived and indefinite lived intangible assets, including Goodwill and our property, plant and equipment. The Company reviews Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year, and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company determined Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets were not impaired in our annual fiscal 2014, 2015, and 2016 assessments and no impairment indicators existed in the current year.

Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

ASC Topic 350 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually. The Company conducted the impairment test on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, unless indications of impairment exist during an interim period. When assessing its goodwill for impairment, the Company utilizes a comparable company market approach weighted equally with a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of their reporting units and corroborate the fair values. The Company utilizes a relief from royalty method to value their indefinite lived trademarks and uses the forecasts that are consistent with those used in the reporting unit analysis. The Company has seven reporting units more fully discussed in Note 1. The Company's discounted cash flow analysis included overall growth rates within Consumer Packaging, Engineered Materials, and Tapes of 0-3% (terminal year 3%) and overall growth rates within the HHS regions of 2-8% (terminal year 3%), and capital spending and earnings consistent with historical levels. In fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 the Company determined no impairment existed. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on the indefinite lived intangible assets in any of the years presented.

Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment and Definite Lived Intangible Assets

The Company periodically realigns their manufacturing operations which results in facilities being closed and shut down and equipment transferred to other facilities or equipment being scrapped or sold. The Company utilizes appraised values to corroborate the fair value of the facilities and has utilized a scrap value based on prior facility shut downs to estimate the fair value of the equipment, which has approximated the actual value that was received. When impairment indicators exist, the Company will also perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets. The Company incurred an impairment charges of $3 million, $2 million, and 7 million related to property, plant and equipment in fiscal years 2016, 2015, or 2014, respectively. The Company did not incur an impairment charge on definite lived intangible assets in fiscal 2016, 2015, or 2014.

Lease And Other Commitments And Contingencies

6. Lease and Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company leases certain property, plant and equipment under long-term lease agreements. Property, plant, and equipment under capital leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet in property and equipment. The Company entered into new capital lease obligations totaling $51 million, $29 million, and $45 million during fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, with various lease expiration dates through 2025. The Company records amortization of capital leases in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Assets under operating leases are not recorded on the Company's balance sheet. Operating leases expire at various dates in the future with certain leases containing renewal options. The Company had minimum lease payments or contingent rentals of $26 million and $24 million and asset retirement obligations of $9 million and $8 million as of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. Total rental expense from operating leases was $60 million, $53 million, and $54 million in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Future minimum lease payments for capital leases and non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year as of fiscal year end 2016 are as follows:


		Capital			Operating
		Leases			Leases
2017	$	34		$	57
2018		31			49

Less: amount representing interest		(20	)
Present value of net minimum lease payments	$	153

The Company has entered into a series of sale-leaseback transactions, pursuant to which it sold certain facilities and is leasing these facilities back. The Company has a total deferred gain on these sale-leaseback transactions of $26 million and is amortizing this over the respective lease of the facility.

The Company also has various purchase commitments for raw materials, supplies and property and equipment incidental to the ordinary conduct of business.

Litigation

The Company is party to various legal proceedings in addition to the above involving routine claims which are incidental to its business. Although the Company's legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company believes that any ultimate liability would not be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Collective Bargaining Agreements

At the end of fiscal 2016, we employed approximately 21,000 employees, and approximately 20% of those employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The majority of these agreements are due for renegotiation in fiscal 2017. Our relations with employees under collective bargaining agreements remain satisfactory and there have been no significant work stoppages or other labor disputes during the past three years.

U.S. income from continuing operations before income taxes was $168 million, $99 million, and $58 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Non-U.S. income from continuing operations before income taxes was $140 million, $23 million, and $9 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

The reconciliation between U.S. Federal income taxes at the statutory rate and the Company's benefit for income taxes on continuing operations for fiscal year end is follows:

After Internal Revenue Code Section 382 ("Section 382") limitations, the Company has $682 million of U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards as of fiscal 2016, which will be available to offset future taxable income. As of fiscal year end 2016, the Company had state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $1,441 million and $302 million, respectively, which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in future years beginning 2024 through 2035. AMT credit carryforwards totaling $10 million are available to the Company indefinitely to reduce future years' federal income taxes. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in future years beginning in 2017 through 2036. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards will expire in future years beginning in 2017 while a portion remains available indefinitely. The Company has $29 million and $7 million of federal and state Research and Development tax credits, respectively, that will expire in future years beginning 2027 through 2036. In addition, the Company has $4 million of other state tax credits that will expire in future years beginning in 2017 through 2020.

In connection with the initial public offering, the Company entered into an income tax receivable agreement that provides for the payment to pre-initial public offering stockholders, option holders and holders of our stock appreciation rights, 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that are actually realized (or are deemed to be realized in the

case of a change of control) as a result of the utilization of our and our subsidiaries' net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the initial public offering. Based on the Company's assumptions using various items, including valuation analysis and current tax law, the Company recorded an obligation of $313 million which was recognized as a reduction of Paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company made payments of $57 million, $39 million, and $32 million in fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The balance at the end of fiscal 2016 was $174 million, and the Company made its fiscal year 2017 payment of $60 million in October 2016.

The Company believes that it will not generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits in certain foreign jurisdictions related to the deferred tax assets. The Company also has certain state net operating losses that may expire before they are fully utilized. Therefore, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against certain of its foreign deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance against certain of its state deferred tax assets included within the deferred tax assets.

The change in ownership of Avintiv created limitations under Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code on annual usage of Avintiv's net operating loss carryforwards. All of the Company's Federal net operating loss carryforwards should be available for use within the next 17 years and are not expected to expire unutilized. Prior to the Company's acquisition of Avintiv, Avintiv was subject to certain ownership changes that resulted in the effective loss of certain NOLs. The NOLs effectively lost have been excluded from the opening balance sheet of Avintiv. As part of the effective tax rate calculation, if we determine that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, we will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company has not provided a valuation allowance on its federal net operating loss carryforwards in the United States because it has determined that future reversals of its temporary taxable differences will occur in the same periods and are of the same nature as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets. Our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $82 million and $29 million as of fiscal year end 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the foreign and U.S. state operations. The Company paid cash taxes of $43 million, $9 million, and $7 million in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Uncertain Tax Positions

We adopted the provisions of the Income Taxes standard of the Codification. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with guidance provide by FASB and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Our policy to include interest and penalties related to gross unrecognized tax benefits within our provision for income taxes did not change.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal year end:


		2016			2015
Beginning unrecognized tax benefits	$	13		$	14
Gross increases – tax positions in prior periods		4			—
Gross increases – current period tax positions		1			1
Gross increases – from acquisitions		48			—
Settlements		(1	)		(1	)
Lapse of statute of limitations		(3	)		(1	)
Ending unrecognized tax benefits	$	62		$	13

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $6 million and $7 million for the fiscal years ended 2016 and 2015.

As of fiscal year end 2016, we had $23 million accrued for payment of interest and penalties related to our uncertain tax positions. Our penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.

We and our subsidiaries are routinely examined by various taxing authorities. Although we file U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is the U.S. The IRS has completed an examination of our 2003, 2010 and 2011 tax years. Our 2004 – 2009, and 2012 – 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS. Avintiv's pre-acquisition U.S. federal tax returns for the years 2004 – 2015 remain subject to examination by the IRS. Companhia Providência Indústria e Comércio ("Providência") was subject to certain tax claims at the time Providência was acquired by Avintiv and have been accounted for in the financial statements as a deferred purchase price liability. There are various other on-going audits in various other jurisdictions that are not material to our financial statements.

As of the end of fiscal 2016, we had unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries of approximately $479 million that are permanently reinvested for continued use in foreign operations, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon. If distributed, those earnings would result in additional income tax expense at approximately the U.S. statutory rate. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred US income tax liability is not practicable due to the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.

Retirement Plan [Abstract]

Retirement Plan

9. Retirement Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans globally, which cover certain manufacturing facilities. The Company also maintains retiree health plans, which cover certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees and their spouses. Each of the defined benefit and retiree health plans are frozen plans. The Company uses fiscal year end as a measurement date for the retirement plans.

The Company also sponsors defined contribution 401(k) retirement plans covering substantially all employees. Contributions are based upon a fixed dollar amount for employees who participate and percentages of employee contributions at specified thresholds. Contribution expense for these plans was $10 million, $7 million, and $8 million for fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

The projected benefit obligations of the Company's plans presented herein are equal to the accumulated benefit obligations of such plans. The net amount of liability recognized is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

At the end of fiscal 2016 the Company had $72 million of net unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects $4 million to be realized in fiscal 2017, and the remaining to be recognized over the next 11 fiscal years.

The following table presents significant weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation and benefit cost for the fiscal years ended:


	Defined Benefit Pension Plans		Retiree Health Plan
(Percents)	2016	2015	2016	2015
Weighted-average assumptions:
Discount rate for benefit obligation	2.7	4.0	2.9	3.0
Discount rate for net benefit cost	3.5	4.0	3.5	2.9
Expected return on plan assets for net benefit costs	5.3	7.3	—	—

In evaluating the expected return on plan assets, Berry considered its historical assumptions compared with actual results, an analysis of current market conditions, asset allocations, and the views of advisors. The return on plan assets is derived from target allocations and historical yield by asset type. Health-care-cost trend rates were assumed to increase at an annual rate of 7.0%. A one-percentage-

point change in these assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a material impact on our postretirement benefit obligation.

In accordance with the guidance from the FASB for employers' disclosure about postretirement benefit plan assets the table below discloses fair values of each pension plan asset category and level within the fair value hierarchy in which it falls. There were no material changes or transfers between level 3 assets and the other levels.

Net Income Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income Per Share

14. Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. For purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net income per share when their effect is dilutive. The Company's redeemable common stock is included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for calculating basic and diluted net income per share.

The following tables and discussion provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net income per share computations. The calculation below provides net income on both basic and diluted basis for fiscal year end.

Guarantor And Non-Guarantor Financial Information

16. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Berry Plastics Corporation ("Issuer") has notes outstanding which are fully, jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (for purposes of this Note, "Parent") and substantially all of Issuer's domestic subsidiaries. Separate narrative information or financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been included because they are 100% owned by Parent and the guarantor subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee such debt on a joint and several basis. A guarantee of a guarantor subsidiary of the securities will terminate upon the following customary circumstances: the sale of the capital stock of such guarantor if such sale complies with the indentures, the designation of such guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary, the defeasance or discharge of the indenture, as a result of the holders of certain other indebtedness foreclosing on a pledge of the shares of a guarantor subsidiary or if such guarantor no longer guarantees certain other indebtedness of the issuer. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are also limited as necessary to prevent them from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and guarantees guaranteeing subordinated debt are subordinated to certain other of the Company's debts. Parent also guarantees the Issuer's term loans and revolving credit facilities. The guarantor subsidiaries guarantee our term loans and are co-borrowers under our revolving credit facility. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent, Issuer, guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Issuer and guarantor financial information includes all of our domestic operating subsidiaries; our non-guarantor subsidiaries include our foreign subsidiaries and the unrestricted subsidiaries under the Issuer's indentures. The Parent uses the equity method to account for its ownership in the Issuer in the Condensed Consolidating Supplemental Financial Statements. The Issuer uses the equity method to account for its ownership in the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. All consolidating entries are included in the eliminations column along with the elimination of intercompany balances. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2016, the Company eliminated intercompany loans between the guarantor and non-guarantor entities and liquidated some foreign subsidiaries. This resulted in the recognition of gains and losses between our guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries, which have been reflected in the condensed supplemental financial statements.

Subsequent Events	18. Subsequent Events AEP Industries Inc. In August, 2016, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of AEP Industries Inc. ("AEP") in a cash and stock merger transaction (the "AEP Transaction") for an estimated aggregate consideration to stockholders of AEP of approximately $294 million in cash and 6.7 million shares of common stock of the Company. An all-cash transaction would imply a purchase price of approximately $735 million, including the assumption of approximately $147 million of net debt as of July 31, 2016. AEP manufactures and markets an extensive and diverse line of polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride flexible plastic packaging products with consumer, industrial, and agricultural applications. AEP's flexible plastic packaging films are used in the packaging, transportation, beverage, food, automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical, electronics, and textile industries. Consummation of the merger is subject to customary regulatory approvals and approval by AEP stockholders. AEP reported $1.1 billion of net sales for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, and will be operated within the Engineered Materials segment upon completion of the transaction.
