Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These actions include commercial, intellectual property, employment, regulatory and consumer fraud claims. Some of these actions involve complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. At this time, the Company is not able to either predict the outcome of these legal proceedings or reasonably estimate a potential range of loss with respect to the proceedings. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any current legal proceeding would have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows or financial position taken as a whole. Beginning in 2005, the Company initiated the first of several claims in Iowa County Circuit Court against the City of Dodgeville (the "City") to recover overpaid taxes resulting from the city’s excessive property tax assessment of the Company’s headquarters campus. As of September 3, 2015, the City has refunded, as the result of various court decisions, over $4.0 million in excessive taxes and interest to the Company in the following amounts: (1) approximately $1.6 million arising from the 2005 and 2006 tax years that were recognized in the fiscal year ended January 29, 2010; (2) approximately $1.6 million arising from the 2007, 2009 and 2010 tax years, recognized in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014; and (3) approximately $0.9 million arising from the 2008 tax year, recognized in the fiscal year ended January 30, 2015. The claims arising from 2005 and 2006 tax years are closed. The Company's claim arising from the 2008 tax year remains unresolved, with respect to a single issue, and is pending before the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. The Company's claims arising from tax years 2007 and 2009 through 2015 remain unresolved, as is the Company's administrative claim for the 2014 and 2015 are still pending before the Circuit Court on several unresolved issues. The Company believes that the potential additional aggregate recovery from the City of Dodgeville arising from the 2007 to 2015 tax years will range from $2.8 million to $4.6 million, none of which has been recorded in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
