Contingencies | Note L – Contingencies Environmental Matters The Company has accrued liabilities of $22.7 million for ongoing environmental remediation efforts at sites in Huntsville, Alabama (the “Huntsville site”) and Norco, California (the “Norco site”) at which contaminated soil and groundwater was identified. The contamination related to activities of certain subsidiaries which ended prior to 2000. Remediation efforts began in 2015 and 2003 at the Huntsville site and Norco site, respectively, and are progressing under action plans monitored by local environmental agencies. Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Environmental liabilities are included in “Accrued expenses” and “Other liabilities” on the company’s consolidated balance sheets. The company has determined that there is no amount within the environmental liability ranges discussed below that is a better estimate than any other amount, and therefore has recorded the accruals at the minimum amount of the ranges. The liabilities were estimated based on current costs and are not discounted. Environmental costs related to these matters include remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities. To date, the company has spent approximately $9.3 million and $88.3 million related to environmental costs at the Huntsville site and the Norco site, respectively. The subsequent environmental costs at the Huntsville site are estimated to be between $5.1 million and $16.8 million and at the Norco site they are estimated to be between $17.6 million and $33.7 million. The company expects the liabilities associated with such ongoing remediation to be resolved over an extended period of time, with current estimates extending beyond 2040. The accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing, extent, and the efficacy of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, orders by administrative agencies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. To date, the company has recovered approximately $157.4 million from certain insurance carriers and other responsible parties relating to environmental clean-up matters at these sites and continues to pursue additional recoveries from one insurer related solely to the Huntsville site. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries. It is reasonably possible that the company will need to adjust the liabilities noted above to reflect the effects of new or additional information, to the extent that such information impacts the costs, timing, or duration of the required actions. Future changes in estimates of the costs, timing, or duration of the required actions could have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Other From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company’s consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
