Forward-Looking Statements
This report, information included in future filings by us and information contained in written material, press releases and oral statements, issued by or on behalf of us contains, or may contain, statements that constitute forward-looking statements. In this report, these statements appear in a number of places and include statements regarding the intent, beliefs or current expectations of us or our officers (including statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates” or similar expressions) with respect to various matters, including our plans and future performance. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Fresh Del Monte’s actual plans and performance may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including (i) the uncertain global economic environment and the timing and strength of a recovery in the markets we serve, and the extent to which adverse economic conditions continue to affect our sales volume and results, including our ability to command premium prices for certain of our principal products, or increase competitive pressures within the industry, (ii) the impact of governmental initiatives in the United States and abroad to spur economic activity, including the effects of significant government monetary or other market interventions on inflation, price controls and foreign exchange rates, (iii) the impact of governmental trade restrictions, including adverse governmental regulation that may impact our ability to access certain markets such as uncertainty surrounding the recent vote in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (often referred as Brexit), including spillover effects to other Eurozone countries, (iv) our anticipated cash needs in light of our liquidity, (v) the continued ability of our distributors and suppliers to have access to sufficient liquidity to fund their operations, (vi) trends and other factors affecting our financial condition or results of operations from period to period, including changes in product mix or consumer demand for branded products such as ours, particularly as consumers remain price-conscious in the current economic environment; anticipated price and expense levels; the impact of crop disease, severe weather conditions, such as flooding, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, on crop quality and yields and on our ability to grow, procure or export our products; the impact of prices for petroleum-based products and packaging materials; and the availability of sufficient labor during peak growing and harvesting seasons, (vii) the impact of pricing and other actions by our competitors, particularly during periods of low consumer confidence and spending levels, (viii) the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, (ix) our plans for expansion of our business (including through acquisitions) and cost savings, (x) our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions into our operations, (xi) the impact of impairment or other charges associated with exit activities, crop or facility damage or otherwise, (xii) the timing and cost of resolution of pending and future legal and environmental proceedings or investigations, (xiii) the impact of changes in tax accounting or tax laws (or interpretations thereof), and the impact of settlements of adjustments proposed by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities in connection with our tax audits, and (xiv) the cost and other implications of changes in regulations applicable to our business, including potential legislative or regulatory initiatives in the United States or elsewhere directed at mitigating the effects of climate change. All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" ) 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU expands the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in the application of hedge accounting. The provisions of ASU 2018-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is effective for us beginning the first day of our 2019 fiscal year. We will not substitute the benchmark rates in use for the SOFR or OIS rates, thus, the adoption of these standards does not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. The FASB issued this ASU to facilitate amendments
to a variety of topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the accounting standards codification. The effective date of the standard is dependent on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon the issuance of this standard. A majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective in annual periods beginning after December 29, 2018. We adopted this standard the first day of our 2019 fiscal year. We evaluated the impact of the amendment to the advertising expense recognition for collaborative agreements and concluded the amendment follows our current accounting practice. Furthermore, we assessed the potential impact of the amendment to Subtopic 805-740 for tax allocations relating to the Mann Packing acquisition; given separate financial statements are not being issued for Mann Packing the amendment will not apply. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The FASB is
issuing this update to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for
share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. This ASU is effective for us beginning the first day of our 2019 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which amends Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 220, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income, to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the "Act"). In addition, under the ASU, an entity is required to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. This ASU is effective for us the first day of our 2019 fiscal year. We made the election not to reclassify stranded tax effects to retained earnings. The tax effects unrelated to the Act are released from accumulated other comprehensive income using either the specific identification approach or the portfolio approach based on the nature of the underlying item.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying ASU's (collectively, "Topic 842"), which requires a dual approach for lease accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases may result in the lessee recognizing a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization
of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis.
We adopted Topic 842 on the first day of our 2019 fiscal year, utilizing the modified retrospective adoption method with an effective date of December 29, 2018 (the first day of our 2019 fiscal year). Therefore, the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2019 are presented under the new standard, while the comparative periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historical accounting policy. Due to the adoption of Topic 842 we booked a retained earnings adjustment of $3.0 million due to deferred taxes.
The standard provides a number of optional practical expedients and policy elections in transition. We have elected to apply the package of practical expedients under which we will not reassess under the standard our prior conclusions about lease classification and initial direct costs, and the expedient to not assess existing or expired land easements. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning we will recognize expense on a straight-line basis and will not include the recognition of a right-of-use asset or lease liability. We have elected the policy to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. This ASU resolves the diversity in practice concerning the manner in which entities account for transactions based on their assessment of the economics of a collaborative arrangement. This ASU clarifies that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer and precludes recognizing as revenue consideration received from a collaborative arrangement if the participant is not a customer. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2020 fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and, as such, we are not able to estimate the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on our financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. This ASU provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2020 fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and, as such, we are not able to estimate the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on our financial statements.
In September 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This ASU requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements (i.e., hosting arrangements) to be capitalized under the same premises of authoritative guidance for internal-use software and deferred over the non-cancellable term of the cloud computing arrangements plus any option renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised by the customer or for which the exercise is controlled by the service provider. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2020 fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and, as such, we are not able to estimate the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on our financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20). This ASU amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 715 to add additional disclosures, remove certain disclosures that are not considered cost beneficial and to clarify certain required disclosures. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2021 fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and, as such, we are not able to estimate the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on our financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. This ASU includes additional disclosures requirements for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements including disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income, disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and narrative description of measurement uncertainty related to Level 3 measurements. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2020 fiscal year. We are evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and, as such, we are not able to estimate the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on our financial statements.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,
and subsequent amendment to the guidance, ASU 2018-19 in November 2018. The standard significantly changes how entities
will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net
income. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at
amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The amendment will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. This ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2020 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted beginning the first day of our 2019 fiscal year. We have commenced an initial analysis and have a team in place to analyze the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and we are not able to estimate the effect the adoption of the new standard will have on our financial statements.

Exit Activity and Other Reserves
Exit activity and other reserve balances are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accounts payable and accrued expenses for the current portion and in other noncurrent liabilities for the noncurrent portion. The following is a rollforward of 2019 exit activity and other reserves (U.S. dollars in millions):

We do not expect additional charges related to the exit activities mentioned above that would significantly impact our results of operations or financial condition.
4. Acquisition
On February 26, 2018, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the voting interests of Mann Packing. The results of Mann Packing's operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since that date.
We purchased all of Mann Packing's outstanding capital stock for an aggregate consideration of $357.2 million funded by a $229.7 million three-day promissory note and $127.5 million in cash. The three-day promissory note was settled with cash on hand and borrowings under our Credit Facility.
We acquired net assets of $357.2 million, including a put option exercisable by the 25% noncontrolling interest shareholder of one of the acquired subsidiaries. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date was $47.4 million. The fair value of the definite-lived intangible assets including customer lists, trade names and trademarks at the acquisition date were $139.8 million. The $162.0 million allocated to goodwill on our Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the excess of the purchase price over the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is expected to be mostly deductible for tax purposes.
We disclosed the acquisition of Mann Packing in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2018.

5. Income Taxes
In connection with a current examination of the tax returns in two foreign jurisdictions, the taxing authorities have issued income tax deficiencies related to transfer pricing aggregating approximately $142.9 million (including interest and penalties) for tax years 2012 through 2016. We strongly disagree with the proposed adjustments and have filed a protest with each of the taxing authorities as we believe that the proposed adjustments are without technical merit. We will continue to vigorously contest the adjustments and expect to exhaust all administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve the matters, which could be a lengthy process. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from examinations such as these to determine the adequacy of our tax reserves. Accordingly, we have not accrued any additional amounts based upon the proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance that these matters will be resolved in our favor, and an adverse outcome of either matter, or any future tax examinations involving similar assertions, could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

6. Financing Receivables
Financing receivables are included in other accounts receivable, less allowances on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recognized at net realizable value, which approximates fair value. Other accounts receivable may include value-added taxes receivables, seasonal advances to growers and suppliers, which are usually short-term in nature, and other financing receivables.
A significant portion of the fresh produce we sell is acquired through supply contracts with independent growers. In order to ensure the consistent high quality of our products and packaging, we make advances to independent growers and suppliers. These growers and suppliers typically sell all of their production to us and make payments on their advances as a deduction to the agreed upon selling price of the fruit or packaging material. The majority of the advances to growers and suppliers are for terms less than one year and typically span a growing season. In certain cases, there may be longer term advances with terms of up to 10 years.
These advances are collateralized by property liens and pledges of the respective season’s produce; however, certain factors such as unfavorable weather conditions, crop disease and financial stability could impact the ability for these growers to repay their advance. Occasionally, we agree to a payment plan or take steps to recover the advance via established collateral. Allowances for advances to growers and suppliers are determined on a case by case basis depending on the production for the season and other contributing factors. We may write-off uncollectable financing receivables after our collection efforts are exhausted.
The following table details the advances to growers and suppliers including the related allowance based on their credit risk profile (U.S. dollars in millions):

7. Share-Based Compensation
Our shareholders approved and ratified the 2014 Omnibus Share Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which allows us to grant equity-based compensation awards, including stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units including performance stock units. We disclosed the significant terms of the 2014 Plan and prior plans in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2018.
Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and is comprised as follows (U.S. dollars in millions):

We received proceeds from the exercise of stock-based options of $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 29, 2019 and $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 30, 2018.
Restricted Stock Awards
A share of restricted stock is one of our ordinary shares that has restrictions on transferability until certain vesting conditions are met.
For RSAs awarded under the 2014 Plan, 50% of each award of our restricted stock vested on the date it was granted. The remaining 50% of each award vests upon the six-month anniversary of the date on which the recipient ceases to serve as a member of our Board of Directors. Restricted stock awarded during the quarters ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 allow directors to retain all of their awards once they cease to serve as a member of our Board of Directors and is considered a nonsubstantive service condition in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 718 on “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” Accordingly, we recognize compensation cost immediately for restricted stock awards granted to non-management members of the Board of Directors.
The following table lists RSAs awarded under the 2014 plan for the quarters ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018:
|
| | | | | | |
Date of award | | Shares of restricted stock awarded | | Price per share |
January 2, 2019 | | 30,891 | | $ | 28.32 |
|
January 2, 2018 | | 21,304 | | 46.93 |
|
Restricted Stock Units/Performance Stock Units
Under the 2014 Plan, each RSU/PSU represents a contingent right to receive one of our ordinary shares. The PSUs are subject to meeting minimum performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The actual number of shares the recipient receives is determined based on the results achieved versus performance goals. Those performance goals are based on exceeding a measure of our earnings. Depending on the results achieved, the actual number of shares that an award recipient receives at the end of the period may range from 0% to 100% of the award units granted. Provided such criteria are met, the PSUs will vest in three equal annual installments on each of the next three anniversary dates provided that the recipient remains employed with us. The RSUs will vest 20% on the award date and 20% on each of the next four anniversaries.

7. Share-Based Compensation (continued)
RSUs and PSUs do not have the voting rights of ordinary shares and the shares underlying the RSUs and PSUs are not considered issued and outstanding. However, shares underlying RSUs/PSUs are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share to the extent the performance criteria are met, if any.
The fair market value for RSUs and PSUs is based on the closing price of our stock on the award date. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
The following table lists the various RSUs and PSUs awarded under the 2014 Plan for the quarters ended March 29, 2019 and March 30, 2018 (U.S. dollars in millions, except share and per share data):

|
February 21, 2018 | | RSU | | 125,000 | | 46.35 |
|
(1) The 2018 PSU's were forefeited as a result of not meeting the performance metric.
RSUs and PSUs are eligible to earn Dividend Equivalent Units ("DEUs") equal to the cash dividend paid to ordinary shareholders. DEUs are subject to the same performance and/or service conditions as the underlying RSUs and PSUs and are forfeitable.
We recognize expense related to RSUs and PSUs based on the fair market value, as determined on the date of award, ratably over the vesting period, provided the performance condition, if any, is probable.

9. Leases
As of the first day of our 2019 fiscal year beginning December 29, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet using the modified retrospective approach. Prior year financial statements were not adjusted under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below. We elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs.
We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. We do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts.
Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.
We lease agricultural land and certain property, plant and equipment, including office facilities and refrigerated containers, under operating leases. We also enter into ship charter agreements for the transport of our fresh produce to markets worldwide. The lease term consists of the noncancellable period of the lease and the periods covered by options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.
We have a related party lease for one of the Mann Packing subsidiaries for building rent. The expense incurred for the first quarter of 2019 was $0.5 million.
In Panama, we are developing a banana operation on leased land of which the remaining portion is pending delivery. Future lease payments will be $0.5 million annually for 40 years.

Credit Facility
On April 16, 2015, we entered into a five-year $800 million syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing on April 15, 2020 (the "Credit Facility") with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole book manager. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a spread over LIBOR that varies with our leverage ratio. The Credit Facility also includes a swing line facility and a letter of credit facility.
On September 27, 2018, we amended certain covenant ratios of our Credit Facility. On February 27, 2018, we exercised an option to increase the total commitments under the Credit Facility from $800 million to $1.1 billion. Debt issuance costs of $0.9 million are included in other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the quarter ended March 29, 2019.
We have a renewable 364-day, $25.0 million commercial stand-by letter of credit facility with Rabobank Nederland.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Credit Facility and other working capital facilities at March 29, 2019 (U.S. dollars in millions):
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Term | | Maturity date | | Interest rate | | Borrowing limit | | Available borrowings |

|
| | | | | | | $ | 1,148.4 |
| | $ | 428.5 |
|
The current margin for LIBOR advances is 1.50%. We intend to use funds borrowed under the Credit Facility from time to time for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, redemption or refinancing of our existing indebtedness, working capital needs, capital expenditures, funding of possible acquisitions, possible share repurchases and satisfaction of other obligations.
The Credit Facility requires us to comply with financial and other covenants, including limitations on capital expenditures, the amount of dividends that can be paid in the future, the amount and types of liens and indebtedness, material asset sales and mergers. As of March 29, 2019, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Credit Facility permits borrowings under the revolving commitment with an interest rate determined based on our leverage ratio and spread over LIBOR. In addition, we pay a fee on unused commitments.
As of March 29, 2019, we applied $11.0 million to the Rabobank Nederland and Bank of America letter of credit facilities in respect of certain contingent obligations and other governmental agency guarantees combined with guarantees for purchases of raw materials and equipment and other trade related letters of credit. We also had $17.5 million in other letters of credit and bank guarantees not included in the Rabobank or Bank of America letter of credit facilities.
As of June 28, 2018 we entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to our variable rate LIBOR-based borrowings from our Credit Facility. Refer to Note 15, “Derivatives”.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Kunia Well Site
In 1980, elevated levels of certain chemicals were detected in the soil and ground-water at a plantation leased by one of our U.S. subsidiaries in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Kunia Well Site”). Shortly thereafter, our subsidiary discontinued the use of the Kunia Well Site and provided an alternate water source to area well users and the subsidiary commenced its own voluntary cleanup operation.
In 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) identified the Kunia Well Site for potential listing on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended. On December 16, 1994, the EPA issued a final rule adding the Kunia Well Site to the NPL.
On September 28, 1995, our subsidiary entered into an order (the “Order”) with the EPA to conduct the remedial investigation and the feasibility study of the Kunia Well Site. Under the terms of the Order, our subsidiary submitted a remedial investigation report in November 1998 and a final draft feasibility study in December 1999 (which was updated from time to time) for review by the EPA. The EPA approved the remedial investigation report in February 1999 and the feasibility study on April 22, 2003.
As a result of communications with the EPA in 2001, we recorded a charge of $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2001 to increase the recorded liability to the estimated expected future cleanup cost for the Kunia Well Site to $19.1 million. Based on conversations with the EPA in the third quarter of 2002 and consultation with our legal counsel and other experts, we recorded a charge of $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2002 to increase the accrual for the expected future clean-up costs for the Kunia Well Site to $26.1 million.
On September 25, 2003, the EPA issued the Record of Decision (“ROD”). The EPA estimates in the ROD that the remediation costs associated with the cleanup of the Kunia Well Site will range from $12.9 million to $25.4 million and will last approximately 10 years. It remains to be determined how long the remediation will actually last.
On January 13, 2004, the EPA deleted a portion of the Kunia Well Site (Northeast section) from the NPL. On May 2, 2005, our subsidiary signed a Consent Decree with the EPA for the performance of the clean-up work for the Kunia Well Site. On September 27, 2005, the U.S. District Court for Hawaii approved and entered the Consent Decree. Based on findings from remedial investigations at the Kunia Well Site, our subsidiary continues to evaluate with the EPA the clean-up work currently in progress in accordance with the Consent Decree.
The estimates are between $13.5 million and $28.7 million. The estimate on which our accrual is based, totals $13.5 million. As of March 29, 2019, we recorded $13.2 million included in other noncurrent liabilities and $0.3 million included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Kunia Well Site clean-up. We expect to expend approximately $0.3 million in 2019, $1.1 million in 2020, $1.0 million in 2021 and $0.9 million in each of the years 2022 and 2023, and the remaining amounts to be expended in subsequent years.
Business Litigation
On March 14, 2019, we settled a business transaction litigation matter for $17.0 million in our favor. The settlement resulted in a gain of approximately $16.7 million, net of $0.3 million in litigation expenses and is included in other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Additional Information
In addition to the foregoing, we are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions incident to our operations, both as plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, none of these other claims are currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or our cash flows.
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in all of the above matters.

14. Business Segment Data
We are principally engaged in one major line of business, the production, distribution and marketing of fresh and value-added products and bananas. Our products are sold in markets throughout the world with our major producing operations located in North, Central and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
During March 2019, we changed our reportable segments to reflect the manner in which we manage our business. Based on changes to our organization structure and how our Chief Operating Decision Maker “CODM” reviews operating results and makes decisions about resource allocations, we have two reportable segments that represent our primary businesses which include fresh and value-added products and bananas. We also have other products and services segment which includes our ancillary businesses. Prior period amounts were adjusted retrospectively to reflect the changes in our segment data.
Fresh and value-added products includes pineapples, melons, non-tropical fruit (including grapes, apples, citrus, blueberries, strawberries, pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries and kiwis), other fruit and vegetables, avocados, fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, prepared fruit and vegetables, juices, other beverages, prepared meals and snacks. Other products and services includes poultry and meat products, a plastic product business and a third-party freight services.

15. Derivative Financial Instruments
Our derivative financial instruments reduce our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and variable interest rates. We predominantly designate our derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges.
Counterparties expose us to credit loss in the event of non-performance on hedges. We monitor our exposure to counterparty non-performance risk both at inception of the hedge and at least quarterly thereafter.
Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the cash flows or fair value of the underlying exposures being hedged. In addition, we perform an assessment of hedge effectiveness, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, to determine whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the cash flows or fair value of the related underlying exposures. A cash flow hedge requires that the change in the fair value of a derivative instrument be recognized in other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity, and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.
FRESH DEL MONTE PRODUCE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
15. Derivative Financial Instruments (continued)
Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require the current credit relationship between us and our counterparty to be maintained throughout the term of the derivative instruments. If that credit relationship changes, certain provisions could be triggered, and the counterparty could request immediate collateralization of derivative instruments in net liability position above a certain threshold. There are derivative instruments with a credit-risk-related contingent feature that are in a liability position on March 29, 2019, however they are immaterial to our financial condition and results of operation. As of March 29, 2019, no triggering event has occurred and thus we are not required to post collateral. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on March 29, 2019, we would not be required to post collateral to the counterparty, because the collateralization threshold has not been met.
Derivative instruments are disclosed on a gross basis. There are various rights of setoff associated with our derivative instruments that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreements. Although various rights of setoff and master netting arrangements or similar agreements may exist with the individual counterparties, individually, these financial rights are not material.
Foreign Currency Hedges
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar on our results of operations and financial condition, and we mitigate that exposure by entering into foreign currency forward contracts. Certain of our subsidiaries periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts in order to hedge portions of forecasted sales or cost of sales denominated in foreign currencies, which generally mature within one year. Our foreign currency hedges were entered into for the purpose of hedging portions of our 2019 foreign currency exposure.
The foreign currency forward contracts qualifying as cash flow hedges were designated as single-purpose cash flow hedges of forecasted cash flows.
We had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts as of March 29, 2019 (in millions):

Interest Rate Contracts
We are exposed to fluctuations in variable interest rates on our results of operations and financial condition and we mitigate that exposure by entering into interest rate swaps. We entered into interest rate swaps in order to hedge the risk of the fluctuation on future interest payments related to our variable rate LIBOR-based borrowings through 2028.
Gains or losses on interest rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive income and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings as interest expense as the interest expense on debt is recognized in earnings. At March 29, 2019, the notional value of interest rate contracts outstanding was $400.0 million, $200.0 million maturing in 2024 and the remaining $200.0 million maturing in 2028.

16. Fair Value Measurements
We measure fair value for financial instruments, such as derivatives and equity securities, on an ongoing basis. We measure fair value for non-financial assets when a valuation is necessary, such as for impairment of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets. Fair value is measured in accordance with the ASC on “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The ASC on “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.
Derivative Instruments
We may choose to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates on our results of operations and financial condition by entering into foreign currency and interest rate swap cash flow hedges. We account for the fair value of the related hedge contracts as prepaid expenses and other current assets, other non-current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses or other non-current liabilities. We use an income approach to value our outstanding foreign currency and interest rate hedges. An income approach consists of a discounted cash flow model that takes into account the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contract using current market information as of the measurement date such as foreign currency, spot and forward rates, interest rates and interest rate curves. Additionally, we include an element of default risk based on observable inputs into the fair value calculation. Due to the fact that certain inputs to fair value these derivative instruments can be observed, they are classified as Level 2.

In estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments, we use the following methods and assumptions:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates fair value due to their liquid nature and are classified as Level 1.
Trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable, net: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items is net of allowances, which includes a degree of counterparty non-performance risk and are classified as Level 2.
Accounts payable and other current liabilities: The carrying value reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximates their fair value, which is the likely amount for which the liability with short settlement periods would be transferred to a market participant with a similar credit standing as ours and are classified as Level 2.
Finance and Operating leases: The carrying value of our finance leases reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates their fair value based on current interest rates, which contain an element of default risk. The fair value of our finance leases is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. For the operating leases we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Refer to Note 10, “Long-Term Debt and Financing Leases” and Note 9, "Leases."
Long-term debt: The carrying value of our long-term debt reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates their fair value since they bear interest at variable rates which contain an element of default risk. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted prices for those or similar instruments. Refer to Note 10, “Long-Term Debt.”

Fair Value of Non-Financial Assets
The purchase price allocation for the Mann Packing acquisition reflected in the accompanying financial statements and includes $162.0 million allocated to goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is subject to revision. The fair value of the net assets acquired are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on unobservable inputs except for items such as working capital which are valued using Level 2 inputs due to mix of quoted prices for similar instruments and cash and cash equivalents valued as Level 1 due to its highly liquid nature. We primarily utilized the cost approach for the valuation of the personal and real property. For the definite-lived intangible assets including customer list intangibles and trade names and trademark were valued primarily using an income approach methodology.
The Mann Packing acquisition includes a put option exercisable by the 25% shareholder of one of the acquired subsidiaries. The put option allows the noncontrolling owner to sell his 25% noncontrolling interest to us for a multiple of the subsidiary's adjusted earnings. As the put option is outside of our control, the estimated value of the 25% noncontrolling interest is presented as a redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and put option at the acquisition date was valued based on a mix of the income approach for determining the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and market approach for determining the most advantageous redemption point for the put option using a Monte Carlo simulation method. The fair value assigned to this interest is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 4 "Acquisitions" for further discussion on the acquisition of Mann Packing and also refer to further information regarding the Mann Packing acquisition in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2018.
The fair value of the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food unit's remaining trade names and trademarks are highly sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows and changes in the related discount rate used to evaluate the fair value of these assets. We disclosed the sensitivity related to the banana reporting unit's goodwill and the prepared food reporting unit's trade names and trademarks in our notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2018.
As of March 29, 2019, we have $44.4 million in property, plant and equipment meeting the criteria of assets held for sale primarily related to the discontinuance of tomato production assets including land, buildings and machinery and equipment in the United States in the fresh and value-added products segment. These assets are recognized at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell.
The Company recorded asset impairment and other charges during the quarter ended March 29, 2019, that do not fall under the scope of fair value measurement. Refer to Note 3, "Asset Impairment and Other Charges, Net".
The following is a tabular presentation of the non-recurring fair value measurements recorded during the first three months of 2019, along with the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurement in their entirety fall (U.S. dollars in millions):

During the first quarter of 2019, we had a charge of $2.8 million in asset impairment and other charges, net related to an equity investment of $4.2 million in Purple Carrot. We calculated the fair value of $1.4 million using the market approach. The fair value of these assets are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to the mix of unobservable inputs utilized.
