2. Significant accounting policies
Basis of consolidation and presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) as applicable to interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Univar Solutions include the combined results of all directly and indirectly controlled companies, which have been adjusted to account for the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Proceeds and repayments under the revolving credit facilities for 2021, previously reported net in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, are now presented separately to conform to the current period’s presentation. Additionally, certain other immaterial amounts in the prior period’s condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Accounting pronouncements issued and not yet adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 “Business Combinations” (Topic 805) – “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU requires an entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The Company expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2023 and is currently determining the impacts of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance” (Topic 832) – “Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance,” which aims to increase the transparency of government assistance and grants. The ASU requires additional annual disclosures pertaining to the types of received government assistance, accounting for the transactions and the related impacts on the reported financial results. The Company expects to adopt this guidance effective December 31, 2022 and is currently determining the impacts of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Sweetmix Distribuidora de Materias Primas Industriais Ltda (“Sweetmix”)
On December 1, 2021, the Company acquired Sweetmix, a food ingredients and coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers (“CASE”) specialty chemical distribution company in Brazil.

5. Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenues from contracts with customers by both geographic reportable segments and revenue contract types. Geographic reportable segmentation is pertinent to understanding the Company's revenues, as it aligns to how the Company reviews the financial performance of its operations. Revenue contract types are differentiated by the type of good or service the Company offers customers, since the contractual terms necessary for revenue recognition are unique to each of the identified revenue contract types.

Deferred revenues as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $6.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries participate in a multi-currency, notional cash pooling arrangement with a third-party bank provider in order to help manage global liquidity requirements (the “Notional Cash Pool”). Under the Notional Cash Pool, cash deposited by participating subsidiaries is pledged as security against the overdraft balances of other participating subsidiaries, providing legal rights of offset. As a result, the balances are presented on a net basis within cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $78.0 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $120.6 million less a bank overdraft balance of $42.6 million. As of December 31, 2021, the net cash position of the Notional Cash Pool was $43.2 million, which consisted of a gross cash balance of $146.0 million less a bank overdraft balance of $102.8 million.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the trade accounts receivable. Collectability of the trade accounts receivable balance is assessed on an ongoing basis and determined based on the delinquency of customer accounts, the financial condition of individual customers, past collections experience and future economic expectations. The change in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

Multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liability
As of December 31, 2021, the Company recognized its best estimate of a withdrawal liability of $31.2 million, related to triggering events at all eight sites of the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan (“Central States Pension Fund”), culminating in the Company ceasing to participate in the Central States Pension Fund. Upon an agreed final funding assessment with the Central States Pension Fund, the Company will recognize any differences between the estimated and actual withdrawal liability. The Company estimates its cash obligation to be approximately $1.9 million annually for each of the next 20 years. The net present value of the withdrawal liability was determined using a risk-free interest rate. Amounts associated with the withdrawal liability are included in other operating expenses, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and other accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
8. Income taxes
The income tax expense and effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended March 31, | | |
(dollars in millions) | | 2022 | | 2021 | | | | |
Income tax expense | | $ | 64.7 | | | $ | 17.6 | | | | | |
Effective income tax rate | | 26.4 | % | | 21.0 | % | | | | |
The Company’s 2022 effective income tax rate was higher than the US federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to higher rates on foreign earnings, US tax on foreign earnings, US state income taxes and non-deductible employee costs. The Company’s 2021 effective income tax rate was also impacted by these items but offset by the impact of other discrete tax items.
