Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 20 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments In 2017, we began to incur capital commitments related to the construction of our HBI production plant in Toledo, Ohio. In total, we expect to spend approximately $830 million on the HBI production plant, exclusive of construction-related contingencies and capitalized interest through 2020. Through March 31, 2019, we have entered into contracts and purchase orders for approximately $780 million of the total capital investment for the HBI production plant, of which a total of approximately $265 million has been expended project-to-date, including deposits. We expect expenditures of approximately $290 million during the remaining nine months of 2019. Of the remaining committed capital, expenditures of approximately $275 million are expected to be made during 2020. Contingencies We are currently the subject of, or party to, various claims and legal proceedings incidental to our operations. If management believes that a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we record the amount of the loss or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, these claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, additional funding requirements or an injunction. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material impact on the financial position and results of operations for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods. However, we do not believe that any pending claims or legal proceedings will result in a material liability in relation to our consolidated financial statements.
