POLICY This policy required that a business maintain an accrual for outbound freight. To meet this objective each business is required to comply with the below procedure on accrued outbound freight and only with written approval from the Corporate Controllers office, shall be allowed an exemption from any of the procedures and from using the standard corporate template. SCOPE This policy applies to all business units that incur out freight. PURPOSE The purpose of this policy and the related procedure for accrued outbound freight is to set the standard and provide a corporate template to calculate the outbound freight accrual. PROCEDURE This procedure requires that any business unit that incurs outbound freight expense have an accrual established to reserve for freight costs that have been incurred and have not been paid or the invoice has not been received and recorded in Accounts Payable.

The accrual must be calculated in accordance with the Corporate Standard Outbound Freight Template. The Business Unit Controller is responsible for ensuring the review of the assumptions in the template are reasonable on at least a quarterly basis. The review should include but is not limited to the following: • Freight expense as a percentage of sales appears reasonable and consistent with past analyses • Freight billing completion percentage appears reasonable and consistent with past analyses • The Required Reserve per the Corporate Standard Outbound Template appears reasonable and there is no need to adjust any of the assumptions or inputs in the calculation (i.e. There are no sales that need to be included/excluded from the monthly sales figures used in the analysis, no adjustment to freight expense is necessary, no adjustments to the CASS data used in determining the completion percentage, etc.). Any adjustments must be clearly documented and explained within the analysis. • Ensure any one-time material adjustments are accounted for (i.e. large air shipment at quarter-end) • Data obtained from CASS and used in the analysis is complete and accurate (i.e. the data in the analysis agrees to a report from CASS or CASS files) Any modifications or adjustments to the assumptions embedded in the Corporate Standard Outbound Freight Template must be approved by the Corporate Controller or Corporate Assistant Controller.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS POLICY

English

Owner : Vice President, Controller

Last Review: 2023.03.31

FIN - 02

Department: Finance

POLICY

This Policy requires that a business maintain reserves for uncollectable accounts receivable and to ensure that the allowance for Doubtful Accounts is stated at management’s best estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that will not be paid by customers. To meet this objective each business is required to comply with this Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Policy and only with written approval from the Corporate Controllers office, shall be allowed an exemption from any of its procedures.

SCOPE

This Policy applies to all customer accounts receivables.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Policy is to set the standard for preparation of an allowance for doubtful accounts calculation, minimum quarterly control procedures, balance sheet reconciliation documentation requirements, and electronic audit evidence requirements.

PROCEDURE

This Policy outlines the requirements for calculating and recording allowances for Doubtful Accounts.

An allowance for Doubtful Accounts is required for all customer accounts for which the collectability remains uncertain. The company approved methodology for calculating the allowance for Doubtful Accounts is as follows:

• A/R balances (excluding credits) aged less than 180 days must be reserved at 0.287%; • A/R balances (excluding credits) aged over 180 days must be reserved at 25%; and • A/R balances (excluding credits) aged over 365 days must be reserved at 100%.

In addition to the standard calculations noted above, each business unit must review their open accounts receivable portfolio to determine if any additional collection concerns exist (above those captured through the standard calculation above). These specific identification reserves should be separately captured and detailed out with sufficient explanation in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Template. The allowance for Doubtful Accounts calculation should be based upon data at the end of the 2nd month of the quarter (February, May, August and November). Any adjustment required to this reserve must be booked in the 3rd month of the quarter (March, June, September and December). In the event a significant customer collectability issue arises in the 3rd month of the quarter, this issue should be factored into the specific identification portion of the template and should include an explanation as to why it was included. The allowance for Doubtful Accounts should be recorded in OneStream account 1390 (equivalent SAP Account 129000). In addition, adjustments related to this reserve must be reflected in OneStream Custom 3 Account E5730 “Bad Debt Expense” (equivalent SAP Account 650085). Local general ledger account numbers may vary depending on ERP and the business unit controller is responsible to ensure the local general ledger accounts selected will properly

16

map to these OneStream accounts.

Any departure from the approved methodology described above (either by use of a different calculation or a modification to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Template) must be approved in advance by the Corporate Controller’s office.

ADMINISTRATION

Roles and Responsibilities. The business unit is responsible for updating the allowance for Doubtful Accounts using the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Template as described above.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Review. The segment controller will ensure the allowance for Doubtful Accounts is reviewed prior to close on a quarterly basis.

Exceptions. Any deviation from this Policy must be approved by the Vice President, Controller or Assistant Corporate Controller.

ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE

None.

REPORTING

None.

DEFINITIONS

Doubtful Account shall mean a customer (debtor) balance that is at risk of being uncollectable.

ASSET IMPAIRMENTS POLICY

English

Owner : Vice President, Controller

Last Review: 2023.03.31

FIN - 03

Department: Finance

POLICY

This Policy requires all business units to evaluate tangible, definite-lived and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for impairment in accordance with the procedures outlined below. All assets should be reviewed for impairment when an indicator is present. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets are required to be reviewed for impairment annually in the second quarter.

SCOPE

This Policy applies to PP&E and Intangible Assets (other than Goodwill), including the capitalized cost of internal use software.

This Policy does not apply to Goodwill.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this Policy is to define the responsibilities of Segment Controllers and the Corporate Controllers office with regards to monitoring PP&E and Intangible Assets for potential impairment indicators and the steps that should be take when an impairment indicator is identified.

PROCEDURE

Tangible and all Intangible Assets

PP&E and Intangible A ssets that are amortized, including the capitalized cost of internal use software (“long -lived assets”) should be reviewed for impairment whenever an impairment indicator is present. An impairment indicator is an event or change in circumstance indicating that that the carrying value of the asset (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. The Segment Controller is responsible for assessing whether impairment indicators are present and to inform the Corporate Controllers office on a timely basis when an impairment indicator is identified. The Corporate Controller’s office is responsible for guiding the Segment Controller through the appropriate analysis to determine whether an impairment exists.

An impairment loss should not be recognized in the general ledger without advance approval from the Corporate Controller’s office.

Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to the following

1. A significant decrease in the market price of the asset; 2. A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition; 3. A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long lived asset, including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; 4. An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or

18

construction of an asset; 5. A significant time delay of the expected in use-date of a construction of an asset;

6. A current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; 7. A current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The term more likely than not refers to a level of likelihood that is more than 50 percent; 8. Consideration of restructuring activities; plant closures or relocations of manufacturing or administrative sites; and 9. The potential to discontinue or significantly curtail product lines or the use of trademarks and trade names. This list is not meant to be all inclusive and there may be other situations, including circumstances that are specific to an entity’s business or industry that are impairment indicators. The Segment Controller’s ongoing analysis and review of the entity and its operations should provide a basis for determining whether there are any indicators of impairment. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets are required to be reviewed for impairment at least annually, and also should be reviewed for impairment whenever an impairment indicator becomes present. The annual review of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for impairment compares the fair value of the Intangible Asset to its carrying value. The fair value of the Intangible Asset is calculated using various inputs in order to determine the fair value of the Intangible Asset. Those inputs include, forecast sales growth and sales growth rates for multiple year periods, tax rates, royalty savings rates, and discount rates. The Segment Controller is responsible for monitoring forecast sales growth, multi-period growth rates and tax rates and to inform the Corporate Controllers office on a timely basis when there is a significant adverse change in any of these inputs. On an annual basis, in the second quarter of each year, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets will be formally tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Intangible Asset to its carrying value. The Corporate Controller’s office is responsible for the fair value estimates and segment Controllers are responsible for forecast sales growth, sales growth rates for multiple year periods and tax rates that are inputs to the fair value model. Intangible Assets that are not amortized (Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets)

AUTHORITY FOR EXPENDITURE POLICY

FIN - 04

Department: Finance

POLICY

All funding requests in excess of $5,000 for the following items must follow the Authority for Expenditures (AFE) Procedure:

• Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) items (inclusive of all expenses relating to installation or implementation of PP&E) • Software (initial purchase) • Leases (new & renewals) • Acquisition of a business

All expenditures of PP&E items less than $5,000 must adhere to the Signature Authority Matrix.

If the spend amount of a previously approved AFE is exceeded by 10% a supplemental AFE must be prepared for the revised total and is subject to the approval levels based on the revised total amount. The 10% threshold triggering the need for a supplemental AFE is measured separately for the Capital and Expense amounts of the previously approved AFE (i.e., If the spend associated with either Capital or Expense exceeds their previously approved amounts, then a supplemental AFE is required). Additionally, the amount Capital and Expense in an approved AFE may not be subsequently “reclassified” between those categories. (for example, a cost over -run in the Expense category of an approved AFE may not be reclassified to the Capital category, or vice versa).

Funding for restructuring activities will require an AFE and must be requested through a Special Charges AFE Template.

A link to the page containing the both the Standard AFE template and the Special Charges AFE Template can be found in the Related Documents section of this policy.
