Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In the normal course of business, we are subject to a number of lawsuits and claims both actual and potential in nature. While management believes the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, our results of operations or cash flows, claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur and could include amounts in excess of any accruals which management has established. Were such unfavorable final outcomes to occur, it is possible that they could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, we have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a directors and officers liability insurance policy that covers a portion of our exposure. As a result of our insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. We have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. A fire caused damage to our facility in Annecy, France in June 2016. We were insured for the damages caused by the fire, including business interruption insurance. During the second quarter of 2022, we filed a lawsuit against the insurance company to recover part of our claim. No gain contingencies have been recognized as our ability to realize those gains remains uncertain. In March 2017, the Supreme Court of Brazil issued a decision that a certain state value added tax should not be included in the calculation of federal gross receipts taxes. The decision reduces our gross receipts tax in Brazil prospectively and retrospectively. In May 2021, the Supreme Court of Brazil issued a judgment establishing rules for the refund of amounts paid in excess based on the calculation methodology to be applied. In June 2021, we received a favorable court decision of $1.6 million for the retrospective right to recover part of our claim. This amount was recorded in cost of sales. On September 30, 2021, we received a formal decision statement from the Federal Regional Court of Brazil that the favorable court decisions are final. We do not expect to receive any further amounts in future periods. In December 2019, tax authorities in Brazil notified us of a tax assessment of approximately $6.1 million, including interest and penalties of $2.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, relating to differences in tax classification codes used for import duties for the period from January 2015 to August 2018. We are vigorously contesting the assessment, including interest and penalties, and filed an administrative defense appeal in December 2019. In June 2020, an unfavorable decision was issued on the first administrative defense appeal. We filed a second administrative defense appeal in August 2020. We still believe we have a strong defense. Due to uncertainty in the amount of assessment and the timing of our appeal, no liability is recorded as of June 30, 2022. Subsequent to quarter end, in July 2022, tax authorities in India notified us of a tax assessment of approximately $6.8 million plus interest and penalties relating to differences in tax classification codes used for import duties for the period from 2017 to current. We are currently drafting our response and will be vigorously contesting the assessment. Due to uncertainty of the timing and amounts of assessment, no liability is recorded as of June 30, 2022.
