Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies The Company is a party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning its commercial operations, products, employees and other matters, including occasional claims by individuals alleging exposure to hazardous materials as a result of the Company's products or operations. Some of these claims relate to matters occurring prior to the acquisition of businesses, and some relate to businesses the Company has sold. In certain cases, the Company is entitled to indemnification from the sellers of businesses and, in other cases, the Company has indemnified the buyers of businesses. Although the Company can give no assurance about the outcome of pending legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on the Company, management believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by indemnity or insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Following the GEODynamics Acquisition in January 2018, the Company determined that certain steel products historically imported by GEODynamics from China for use in its manufacturing process were potentially subject to anti-dumping and countervailing duties. Following an internal review, the Company voluntarily disclosed this matter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") and, in December 2020, reached an agreement with CBP to settle this matter for $7.3 million. The Company asserted indemnification claims for such settlement amount and related costs of $7.5 million against the GEO Seller and pursed its right to set-off such amounts against payments due under the GEO Note. As of June 28, 2022, the Company had reduced the carrying amount of such note in its consolidated balance sheet to $17.5 million, which was the Company's then-current best estimate of what was owed after set-off for such indemnification matters prior to the settlement of the counterclaim described below. In August 2020, the GEO Seller filed a breach of contract suit against the Company in federal court alleging that payments due under GEO Note were not repaid in accordance with the terms of such note. Additionally, the GEO Seller alleged that it was entitled to approximately $19.0 million in U.S. federal income tax carryback claims received by the Company under the provisions of the CARES Act. On February 15, 2021, following the federal magistrate's report and recommendation that the federal district court dismiss the GEO Seller's lawsuit for lack of federal jurisdiction, the GEO Seller dismissed the federal lawsuit without prejudice and refiled its lawsuit in state court. On September 20, 2021, the state court denied the GEO Seller's motion for partial summary judgement. In December 2021, the Company filed a counterclaim against the GEO Seller alleging material misrepresentations and breaches of warranties by the GEO Seller with respect to GEODynamics' liability for anti-dumping and countervailing duties. On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the GEO Seller, related to the matters discussed above (the "Settlement"), which included the full and final settlement of all amounts due pursuant to the GEO Note ($17.5 million in principal amount and accrued interest of $2.2 million outstanding as of June 28, 2022). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company and the GEO Seller agreed to the resolution of such disputes through, among other matters: (i) the payment by the Company of $10.0 million in cash and (ii) the issuance by the Company of 1,909,722 shares of its common stock (having a market value of $10.3 million on the date of issuance). The payment and issuance of common stock were made on July 1, 2022. In connection with the execution of the Settlement Agreement, the Company recognized a non-cash settlement charge of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. In August 2022, the Offshore/Manufactured Products segment settled outstanding litigation against certain service providers in exchange for cash totaling $6.9 million. In connection with this settlement, the Company recognized a gain of $6.1 million (net of legal and other related costs) in the third quarter of 2022, which is included in other operating income, net.
