Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | (11) Commitments and Contingencies From time to time we are subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of breach of contracts, product warranties, product liability, patent infringement, regulatory matters and employment-related matters. The Company establishes accruals for matters which it believes that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these matters, the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position. As a result of environmental studies performed at the Company’s former facility located in Sarasota, Florida, the Company became aware of soil and groundwater contamination at the site and engaged an environmental engineering consultant to develop a remediation and monitoring plan for the site. Soil remediation at the site was completed during the year ended December 31, 2010. A remedial action plan was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and groundwater remediation began in the fourth quarter of 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, environmental remediation costs incurred were immaterial. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company accrued a remaining undiscounted liability of $87 and $111, respectively, related to future remediation costs which were recorded as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Costs associated with the recorded liability will be incurred to complete the groundwater remediation, with the balance relating to monitoring costs to be incurred over multiple years. The recorded liability is based on assumptions in the remedial action plan. Although the Company sold the Sarasota facility and related property in December 2011, the liability to remediate the site contamination remains the responsibility of the Company. Due to the ongoing site remediation, the Company is currently required to maintain a $1,489 letter of credit for the benefit of the buyer. The Company’s PST subsidiary has civil, labor and other non-income tax contingencies for which the likelihood of loss is deemed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, by the Company’s legal advisors in Brazil. As a result, no provision has been recorded with respect to these contingencies, which amounted to R$31,200 ($8,000) and R$29,700 ($7,600) at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. An unfavorable outcome on these contingencies could result in significant cost to the Company and adversely affect its results of operations. Insurance Recoveries The Company incurred losses and incremental costs related to the damage to assets caused by a storm at its Mexican production facility in the fourth quarter of 2016 and pursued recovery of such costs under applicable insurance policies. Anticipated proceeds from insurance recoveries related to losses and incremental costs that have been incurred (“loss recoveries”) are recognized when receipt is probable. Anticipated proceeds from insurance recoveries in excess of the net book value of damaged property, plant and equipment (“insurance gain contingencies”) are recognized when all contingencies related to the claim have been resolved. Loss recoveries related to the damage of inventory and incremental costs included in costs of sales were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. There were no loss recoveries and insurance gain contingencies recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 related to the damage of property, plant and equipment included within SG&A expense. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had confirmation of the open insurance claim and recorded a receivable of $1,644. The cash payment was subsequently collected in January 2018. Cash proceeds related to the damage of inventory and incremental costs were $241 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and are included in cash flows from operating activities. Cash proceeds related to the damage of property, plant and equipment of $1,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, are included in cash flows from investing activities. There were no cash proceeds received during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Product Warranty and Recall Amounts accrued for product warranty and recall claims are established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle existing and future claims on products sold as of the balance sheet dates. These accruals are based on several factors including past experience, production changes, industry developments and various other considerations including insurance coverage. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience material claims or that it will not incur significant costs to defend or settle such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what the Company may recover from its suppliers. The current portion of product warranty and recall is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Product warranty and recall included $3,083 and $3,283 of a long-term liability at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is included as a component of other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following provides a reconciliation of changes in product warranty and recall liability:
Three months ended March 31, |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Product warranty and recall at beginning of period |  | $ | 10,494 |  | $ | 9,979
Accruals for warranties established during period |  |  | 1,545 |  |  | 2,274
Aggregate changes in pre-existing liabilities due to claim developments |  |  | 1,238 |  |  | 387
