Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
LEGAL AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES | LEGAL AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES Legal Matters The Company is involved, from time to time, in various litigation, administrative and other legal proceedings, including regulatory actions, incidental or related to its business, including consumer class or collective actions, personal injury (most involving allegations related to alleged asbestos in the Company’s talc-based cosmetic products), intellectual property, competition, compliance and advertising claims litigation and disputes, among others (collectively, “Legal Proceedings”). While the Company cannot predict any final outcomes relating thereto, management believes that the outcome of current Legal Proceedings will not have a material effect upon its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of the Company’s securities. However, management’s assessment of the Company’s current Legal Proceedings is ongoing, and could change in light of the discovery of additional facts with respect to Legal Proceedings not presently known to the Company, further legal analysis, or determinations by judges, arbitrators, juries or other finders of fact or deciders of law which are not in accord with management’s evaluation of the probable liability or outcome of such Legal Proceedings. From time to time, the Company is in discussions with regulators, including discussions initiated by the Company, about actual or potential violations of law in order to remediate or mitigate associated legal or compliance risks and liabilities or penalties. As the outcomes of such proceedings are unpredictable, the Company can give no assurance that the results of any such proceedings will not materially affect its reputation, business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the trading price of its securities. Certain Litigation. On June 13, 2023, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware approved the settlement of the consolidated purported stockholder class action and derivative complaint concerning the tender offer by Cottage Holdco B.V. (now known as JAB Beauty B.V.) (the “Cottage Tender Offer”) and the Schedule 14D-9 that was filed on May 6, 2019 against certain current and former directors of the Company, JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The case was captioned Massachusetts Laborers’ Pension Fund v. Harf et al., Case No. 2019-0336-AGB. On June 14, 2019, plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a Verified Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (“Amended Complaint”). After defendants responded to the Amended Complaint, on October 21, 2019, plaintiffs filed a Verified Second Amended Class Action and Derivative Complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”), alleging that the directors and JAB Holding Company S.à r.l., JAB Holdings B.V., JAB Cosmetics B.V., and Cottage Holdco B.V. breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders and breached the Stockholders Agreement. The Second Amended Complaint sought, among other things, monetary relief. On November 21, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss certain claims asserted in the Second Amended Complaint, and certain of the director defendants also answered the complaint. On May 7, 2020, plaintiffs stipulated to the dismissal without prejudice of JAB Holding Company S.à r.l. from the action. On August 17, 2020, the court denied the remaining motions to dismiss. On March 29, 2023, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement, the terms of which have been made available as part of the public filing requirements associated with the court-approval process. The settlement was approved by the Court on June 13, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. Brazilian Tax Assessments The Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries receive tax assessments from local, state and federal tax authorities in Brazil from time to time. Current open tax assessments as of June 30, 2023 are:
Assessment received | Type of assessment | Type of Tax | Tax period impacted | Estimated amount, including interest and penalties as of June 30, 2023 |
Mar-18 | State sales tax credits, which the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás considers as improperly registered | ICMS | 2016-2017 | R$1.1 million (approximately $0.2) (a) |
Aug-20 | ICMS | 2017-2019 | R$569.3 million (approximately $117.2)
Oct-20 | Federal excise taxes, which the Treasury Office of the Brazil’s Internal Revenue Service considers as improperly calculated | IPI | 2016-2017 | R$401.9 million (approximately $82.8)
Nov-22 | IPI | 2018-2019 | R$537.3 million (approximately $110.6)
Nov-20 | State sales taxes, which the Treasury Office of the State of Minas Gerais considers as improperly calculated | ICMS | 2016-2019 | R$217.4 million (approximately $44.8)
Jun-21 | State sales tax, which the Treasury Office of the State of Goiás considers as improperly calculated | ICMS | 2016-2020 | R$63.8 million (approximately $13.1)
(a) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the ICMS assessment received in March 2018 had an unfavorable decision at administrative instance and the Company decided to pay the $0.2 penalty at case closure. The Company does not believe the outcome of this decision will weigh on other pending cases as the case factors for other open ICMS assessments are different. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the ICMS assessment received in November 2020 was moved to the judicial process. All other cases are currently in the administrative process. The Company is seeking favorable judicial and administrative decisions on the tax enforcement actions filed by the tax authorities for these assessments. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and it has not recognized a loss for these assessments as the Company does not believe a loss is probable. Due to the fiscal environment in Brazil, the possibility of further tax assessments related to the same or similar matters cannot be ruled out. Other Commitments At June 30, 2023, the aggregate future minimum purchase obligations, which include commitments to purchase inventory and other services agreements, were as follows:
