Trade Compliance Matters
The Company has made voluntary disclosures to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce, including to the Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) with respect to Teledyne FLIR shipments of products from non-U.S. jurisdictions which were not licensed due to an incorrect de minimis calculation methodology under the Export Administration Regulations. The Company has also made voluntary disclosures to export authorities in jurisdictions outside the U.S. for certain potential violations of local export laws. At this time, based on available information, we are unable to reasonably estimate the time it may take to resolve these matters or the amount or range of potential loss, penalty or other government action, if any, that may be incurred in connection with these matters. However, an unfavorable outcome could result in substantial fines and penalties or loss or suspension of export privileges or of particular authorizations that could be material to
the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in and following the period in which such outcome becomes estimable or known.
Environmental Remediation Obligations
At June 30, 2024, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $6.8 million, of which $3.1 million is included in current accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s reserves for environmental remediation obligations totaled $5.4 million. The Company evaluates whether it may be able to recover a portion of future costs for environmental liabilities from its insurance carriers and from third parties. The timing of expenditures depends on a number of factors that vary by site, including the nature and extent of contamination, the number of potentially responsible parties, the timing of regulatory approvals, the complexity of the investigation and remediation, and the standards for remediation. The Company expects that it will pay the amounts recorded over many years and will complete remediation of all sites with which it has been identified in up to 30 years.
Legal Matters
A number of other lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been or may be asserted against the Company, including those pertaining to product liability, acquisitions, patent infringement, contracts, environmental, employment and employee benefits matters. While the outcome of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and some of these lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be determined adversely to the Company, management does not believe that the disposition of any such pending matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements.
