Legal Proceedings And Contingencies [Abstract] |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE P: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, parties to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes, arbitration and other legal proceedings incident to our business, arising from or related to matters, including but not limited to: product liability; personal injury; patents, trademarks, trade secrets or other intellectual property; labor and employment disputes; commercial or contractual disputes; acquisitions or divestitures; the prior sale or use of former products allegedly containing asbestos or other restricted materials; breach of warranty; or environmental matters. Claimed amounts against us may be substantial, but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitration awards. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized and legal costs generally are expensed when incurred. As of June 27, 2025, our accrual for the potential resolution of lawsuits, claims or proceedings that we consider probable of being decided unfavorably to us was not material. We cannot at this time estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of our accrual due to the inherent uncertainties and speculative nature of contested proceedings. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence as of June 27, 2025 were reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or equity. Environmental Matters We are subject to numerous U.S. Federal, state, local and international environmental laws and regulatory requirements and are involved from time to time in investigations or litigation of various potential environmental issues. We or companies we have acquired are responsible, or alleged to be responsible, for environmental investigation and/or remediation of multiple sites, including sites owned by us and third-party sites. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation, and in some cases our liability is considered de minimis. Notices from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent state or international environmental agencies allege that several sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by us or companies we have acquired, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances of us or companies we acquired being identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (commonly known as the “Superfund Act”), the Resource Conservation Recovery Act and/or equivalent state and international laws, and in some instances, our liability and proportionate share of costs that may be shared among other PRPs have not been determined largely due to uncertainties as to the nature and extent of site conditions and our involvement. Based on an assessment of relevant factors, we estimated that our liability under applicable environmental statutes and regulations for identified sites was $648 million and $637 million as of June 27, 2025 and January 3, 2025, respectively. The current and non-current portions of our estimated environmental liability are included in the “Other current liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” line items, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Some of these environmental costs are recoverable from the U.S. Government. We consider the recovery probable based on U.S. Government contracting regulations and, accordingly, record an asset for the recoverable portion of these reserves which was $472 million and $462 million, as of June 27, 2025 and January 3, 2025, respectively. The current and non-current portions of the recoverable costs are included in the “Other current assets” and “Other non-current assets” line items, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
