Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 20. Commitments and Contingencies Tariff Matter In fiscal year 2021, as part of the Company’s continued integration of GENEWIZ, which was acquired in November 2018, the Company initiated a review during first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with the assistance of a third-party consultant, of the transaction value that the Company has used to calculate tariffs on inter-company imports of samples shipped from its GENEWIZ business. As a result of the third-party review and in light of a new interpretation surrounding the valuation method used to calculate the estimated transaction value, the Company revised its estimate of the tariffs owed as a result and recorded a liability of $6.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 the Company submitted a payment in the amount of $5.9 million to the customs authorities related to November 2021 and prior periods. The customs authorities will review the Company’s calculation of tariffs for these periods and determine if any further tariffs are owed. As of September 30, 2022, the accrual for these tariffs was $2.8 million, related to normal business activity. The Company does not expect to incur any significant penalties associated with the tariffs. Purchase Commitments At September 30, 2022, the Company has non-cancelable commitments of $66.6 million, including purchase orders for inventory of $55.6 million, and information technology related commitments of $10.9 million. Contingencies The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings or in certain instances provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. The Company may also have certain indemnification obligations pursuant to claims made under the definitive agreement it entered into with Edwards Vacuum LLC (a member of the Atlas Copco Group) in connection with the Company’s sale of its semiconductor cryogenics business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. However, as of the date of this report, the Company believes that none of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Edwards asserted claims for indemnification under the definitive agreement relating to alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to customer warranty claims and inventory. The Company cannot determine the probability of any losses or outcome of these claims including the amount of any indemnifiable losses, if any, resulting from these claims at this time, however, the Company believes that none of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. If the resolution of these claims results in indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable indemnification deductibles and indemnification escrow established under the definitive agreement, Edwards would be required to seek recovery under the representation and warranty insurance Edwards obtained in connection with the closing of the transaction. The Company believes that any indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable deductibles and indemnification escrow established in the definitive agreement would be covered by such insurance. If Edwards is unable to obtain recovery under its insurance, however, it could seek recovery of such indemnifiable losses, if any, directly from the Company. In the event of unexpected subsequent developments and given the inherent unpredictability of these matters, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assessment of any claim will reflect the ultimate outcome, and an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods.
