Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations | 17. Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations Repurchase Contingencies and Guarantees The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to retailers. These arrangements, which are customary in the manufactured housing industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer on their agreement to pay the financial institution. The risk of loss from these agreements is significantly reduced by the potential resale value of any products that are subject to repurchase and is spread over numerous retailers. The repurchase price is generally determined by the original sales price of the product less contractually defined curtailment payments. Based on these repurchase agreements and our historical loss experience, we establish an associated loss reserve which was $1.8 million and $2.5 million at March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. Excluding the resale value of the homes, the contingent repurchase obligation as of March 30, 2024 was estimated to be approximately $296.3 million. Losses incurred on homes repurchased were immaterial during each of the fiscal years ended March 30, 2024, April 1, 2023, and April 2, 2022. At March 30, 2024, the Company was contingently obligated for approximately $34.0 million under letters of credit, primarily consisting of $12.6 million to support long-term debt, $21.1 million to support the casualty insurance program, and $0.3 million to support bonding agreements. The letters of credit are issued under a sub-facility of the Credit Agreement. The Company was also contingently obligated for $15.1 million under surety bonds, which generally support performance on long-term construction contracts and license and service bonding requirements. In the normal course of business, the Company’s former subsidiaries that operated in the United Kingdom historically provided certain guarantees to two customers. Those guarantees provide contractual liability for proven construction defects up to 12 years from the date of delivery of certain products. The guarantees remain a contingent liability of the Company which declines over time through October 2027. As of the date of this report, the Company expects few, if any, claims to be reported under the terms of the guarantees. Product Liability - Water Intrusion The Company has received consumer complaints for damages related to water intrusion in homes built in one of its manufacturing facilities prior to fiscal 2022. The Company has investigated, and believes, the cause of the damage is the result of materials that did not perform in accordance with the manufacturer's contractual obligations. The Company has identified that certain homes constructed over that period that may be affected. Based on the results of ongoing investigation and repair efforts, the Company has developed a remediation plan under Subpart I of the HUD code and has submitted that plan to HUD for approval. The plan calls for inspection and repair of affected homes if there is evidence of damage, or procedures to mitigate the opportunity for future damage. As a result of the proposal, the Company recorded charges to execute the remediation plan of $34.5 m illion during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The Company estimated the charges by establishing a range of total expected costs determined by an actuary using a Monte Carlo simulation. The analysis resulted in a range of losses between $34.5 million and $85.0 million. The Company was not able to determine a value in the range that was more likely than any other value, and as prescribed by U.S. GAAP, recorded the charge for remediation based on the low end of the range of potential losses. The Company will monitor the results of the inspection and repair activities, including actual repair costs, and may revise the amount of the estimated liability, which could result in an increase or decrease in the estimated liability in future periods. The liability is included in Other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Based on the Company's investigation into the cause of the water intrusion, including third-party testing of the material at issue, the Company believes it is possible that it will recover some or all of the estimated remediation costs. The Company will attempt to recover those costs from the manufacturer of the material, the distributor of the material, their related insurance providers or from the Company's insurance providers. However, the Company is unable to record an offset for any estimated costs at this time in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Legal Proceedings The Company has agreed to indemnify counterparties in the ordinary course of its business in agreements to acquire and sell business assets and in financing arrangements. The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. As of the date of this filing, the Company believes the ultimate liability with respect to these contingent obligations will not have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Concentrations The components and products used in the factory-built housing operations are presently available from a variety of vendors, and the Company is not dependent upon any single supplier. Prices of certain materials, such as lumber, insulation, steel and drywall, can fluctuate significantly due to changes in demand and supply. Additionally, availability of certain materials, such as drywall and insulation, has sometimes been limited, resulting in higher prices and/or the need to find alternative suppliers. The Company generally has been able to pass higher material costs on to its customers in the form of surcharges and price increases. Sales from the Company's Canadian operations were approximately 5% of consolidated sales for fiscal 2024, 6% in fiscal 2023, and 7% in fiscal 2022. The Company’s net assets in Canada totaled approximately $132.4 million and $124.7 million at March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. The Company has approximately 8,600 employees. The Company’s manufacturing facilities in Canada employ approximately 700 workers, and most of the workers belong to trade associations that operate under collective bargaining agreements. There are five collective bargaining agreements (one for each Canadian manufacturing facility) and each have separate expiration dates. The agreements are set to expire at various dates between May 2024 and November 2026.
