Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 19 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments HBI production plant In 2017, we began to incur capital commitments related to the construction of our HBI production plant in Toledo, Ohio. We now expect to reach commercial production ahead of schedule, in the first half of 2020. Due to the advanced construction timeline and more certain visibility of the start–up date, a portion of the budgeted contingency has been allocated. In total, we expect to spend approximately $830 million plus a contingency of up to 20% on the HBI production plant, excluding capitalized interest, through 2020. As of September 30, 2019, we have contracts and purchase orders in place for approximately $390 million. We expect cash capital expenditures of approximately $180 million during the remaining three months of 2019 and approximately $245 million during 2020. Contingencies We are currently the subject of, or party to, various claims and legal proceedings incidental to our operations. 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 effect on the financial position and results of operations for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods. However, based on currently available information we do not believe that any pending claims or legal proceedings will result in a material effect in relation to our consolidated financial statements.
