During 2019, the Company amended royalty agreements with certain suppliers as part of cost reduction efforts. As of March 31, 2020, $10 million was recorded in other current assets and $14 million in other non-current assets, with an offsetting amount of $14 million in accounts payable and $7 million in other non-current liabilities relating to these agreements.
