Business Interruption and Insurance Recovery [Abstract] |
Business Interruption and Insurance Recovery | Note 19. Business Interruption and Insurance Recovery As discussed in Note 3 “Special Charges, Net”, in December 2010, a severe rainy season impacted many parts of Colombia and caused the Company to temporarily cease manufacturing at its Cali, Colombia facility due to a breach of a levy and flooding at the industrial park where the facility is located. The Company established temporary offices away from the flooded area and worked with customers to meet their critical needs through the use of its global manufacturing base. The facility re-established manufacturing operations on April 4, 2011 and operations at this facility reached full run rates in the third quarter of 2011. The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance policies. On March 4, 2011, the Company filed a $6.0 million claim under one of its insurance policies to cover both property damage and business interruption (the “Primary Policy”). The Primary Policy had a $1.0 million deductible. Subsequent to April 2, 2011 and during fiscal 2011, the Company collected $5.0 million as settlement of its claim under the Primary Policy and $0.7 million as settlement of claims under other insurance policies. The Company’s operating income (loss) for the one month ended January 28, 2011 includes $1.0 million of insurance recovery related to recovery of certain losses recognized during the one month ended January 28, 2011 related to the property damage and business interruption components of the insured losses experienced by the Company in the period. Of the $1.0 million for the one month ended January 28, 2011, $0.3 million and $0.7 million were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of goods sold, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to offset the recognized losses included in the Primary Policy. The Company had also recognized in fourth quarter 2010, $2.5 million of insurance recovery related to recovery of certain losses recognized during December 2010 related to the property damage and business interruption components of the insured losses experienced by the Company in the period. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recognized an insurance recovery receivable of $2.2 million on its January 28, 2011 opening balance sheet, see Note 4 “Acquisitions” for further discussion associated with the Company’s purchase accounting.
