Regulatory Matters
Government and regulatory agencies may have the ability to conduct routine audits and periodic examinations of, and administrative proceedings regarding, the Company’s business operations. As previously disclosed, U.S. Customs gathered initial information from the Company under routine audit procedures, and the information indicated that the Company potentially underpaid duties in prior periods arising from certain classification discrepancies for products imported into the United States as separately entered shipments. In working with the U.S. Customs, the Company has exercised reasonable care to address this matter in an equitable and expeditious manner through the filing of a prior disclosure submission with U.S. Customs and now estimates that it will be required to pay approximately $10.4 million, excluding any interest. The Company accrued this estimated amount in the first quarter of 2024 and it is reflected in Other current liabilities and in Costs of products sold on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations as of and for the three months ended March 30, 2024. See Note 2, Inventories, for disclosure concerning another matter related to import duties.
Environmental Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in various proceedings incidental to its business and the Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty, based on presently available information, the Company believes that adequate liabilities have been accrued for probable losses with respect thereto and receivables recorded for expected receipts from settlements. The Company further believes that, while the ultimate outcome of these matters could be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in any given reporting period, they will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s long-term financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
As of March 30, 2024, approximately 20% of the Company’s employees were represented by various local labor unions with terms and conditions of employment governed by Collective Bargaining Agreements (“CBAs”). Three CBAs covering approximately 3.5% of the Company’s employees are up for renewal in the remainder of fiscal 2024, of which one has already been renegotiated, one is currently under negotiations, and one is expected to be renegotiated before their renewal dates.
