Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments We have agreements to purchase the entire or partial production of certain products of our independent growers primarily in Guatemala, Ecuador, Philippines, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Chile that meet our quality standards. Total purchases under these agreements amounted to $643.4 million for 2024, $631.6 million for 2023 and $625.9 million for 2022. Refer to Note 10. “Leases”, for further a discussion concerning our lease commitments. Kunia Well Site In 1980, elevated levels of certain chemicals were detected in the soil and ground-water at a plantation leased by one of our U.S. subsidiaries in Honolulu, Hawaii (the “Kunia Well Site”). In 2005, our subsidiary signed a Consent Decree (“Consent Decree”) with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) for the performance of the clean-up work for the Kunia Well Site. Based on findings from remedial investigations, our subsidiary coordinated with the EPA to evaluate the clean-up work required in accordance with the Consent Decree. On July 25, 2022, an Explanation of Significant Differences (ESD) for the Kunia Well Site was filed by the EPA, which formally transitioned the remedy for the Kunia Well Site to a Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA), thereby reducing our potential liability. In connection with the above decision, we recorded a $9.9 million reduction in our liability during the year ended December 30, 2022, presented in asset impairment and other charges (credits), net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, to reflect the decrease in estimated costs associated with the clean-up. The revised estimate associated with the clean-up costs, and on which our accrual is based, is $2.7 million. As of December 27, 2024, $2.5 million was included in other noncurrent liabilities, and $0.2 million was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Kunia Well Site clean-up. We expect to expend approximately $0.2 million in 2025, $0.2 million in 2026, $0.3 million in 2027, $0.1 million in 2028, and $0.1 million in 2029. California Air Resource Board In December 2022, the California Air Resource Board ("CARB") issued a Notice of Violation ("NOV") to the Company regarding alleged violations of certain California anti-air pollution regulations by three non-shore capable vessels that were subject to a time charter by us from an unrelated non-U.S. third party. We are cooperating with and assisted CARB in its audits for the alleged violations during 2021. During the year ended December 27, 2024, we accrued expenses of $0.5 million as a contingent reserve which are included in asset impairments and other charges (credits), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This charge is in addition to a $0.4 million contingent reserve accrued as of December 29, 2023 related to this matter. On February 12, 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement regarding the matter. Consistent with the terms of the settlement agreement, we agreed to pay approximately $0.9 million in civil penalties associated with the NOV. Consequently, we do not expect to accrue any additional amounts. Legal Settlement In May 2024, we entered into a settlement agreement with respect to a litigation matter by a former employee regarding a legacy claim stemming from the 1970s. This matter was in the discovery phase until the first quarter of 2024, when the court set the expected trial date and the parties began to discuss settlement. Accordingly, during the year ended December 27, 2024, we incurred charges of $1.8 million, net of insurance reimbursements, associated with the settlement which are included in assets impairment and other charges (credits), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 27, 2024. Additional Information In addition to the foregoing, we are involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions incident to our operations, both as plaintiff and defendant. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, none of these other claims is currently expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or our cash flows.
