Contingencies

In November 2018, an alleged explosion occurred at a third-party waste disposal and treatment site in Grand View, Idaho, reportedly causing property damage, personal injury, and one fatality. The Company had contracted with a service company for removal and disposal of certain waste resulting from the magnesium powder manufacturing operations at the Reade facility in Manchester, New Jersey. The Company believes this service company, in turn, contracted with the third-party disposal company, at whose facility the explosion occurred, for treatment and disposal of the waste. In November 2020, we were named as a defendant in three lawsuits in relation to the incident – one by the third-party disposal company, one by the estate of the decedent, and one by an injured employee of the third-party disposal company. The three lawsuits were administratively consolidated and, to date, two lawsuits remain ongoing. The Company believes that we are not liable for the incident, have asserted such, and, in conjunction with our insurers, continue to fully defend the Company against these lawsuits. Therefore, we do not currently expect any eventual outcome in these matters to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2023, it was established that any potential liability arising from the lawsuits and reasonable defense costs related thereto are covered by insurance. Negotiations as to recovery of historic defense costs are ongoing, and therefore the Company has not recognized any asset with respect to said recovery as of March 31, 2023. The Company recognized $0.2 million realizable other income in the quarter with respect to historic defense costs previously incurred by the Company. An additional $1.3 million was realized in April 2024 and will be reflected in the Company's second quarter financial statements.
