Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Contingencies and Legal Settlements | Note 12 – Contingencies and Legal Settlements The Company is involved in various warranty and repair claims and, in certain cases, related pending and threatened legal proceedings with its customers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential losses in excess of the accrued warranty and legal provisions, if any, are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company received cash payments of $15,733 and $1,410 during 2015 and 2017, respectively, for Alabama state and local incentives related to its capital investment and employment levels at the Shoals Facility. Under the incentive agreements a certain portion of the incentives may be repayable by the Company if targeted levels of employment are not maintained for a period of up to six years from the date of the incentive. In April 2021, the Company received a letter from representatives of the Shoals Economic Development Authority (“SEDA”) regarding repayment of local incentives. The Company has contested the amounts claimed by SEDA with respect to an initial portion of such local incentives and views this notice as premature as to the remaining portion of such local incentives, as the Company believes that any repayment obligations have not yet arisen with respect thereto under the terms of the incentive agreements. In the event that any portion of the incentives is required to be paid back, the Company believes the amount is unlikely to exceed the deferred liability balance of $3,057 as of September 30, 2021. As part of a settlement agreement reached with one of its customers during 2019, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid $1,000 and $3,500, respectively, of the settlement amount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company paid $1,000 of the settlement amount and the remaining $2,000, which is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021, will be paid over a period of 9 months or on an accelerated basis in the event both parties agree to accelerate delivery of railcars currently in the backlog. In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of its business. The Company has reserved $0.5 million to cover probable and estimable liabilities with respect to these matters.
