Various legal and regulatory proceedings and claims have been or may be asserted against the Company relating to the conduct of its businesses, including product liability, environmental and other claims. These proceedings and claims are incidental to the ordinary course of business. Management believes that it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend the Company in these actions. Any costs that management estimates will be paid as a result of these claims are accrued when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, management believes, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the likelihood is remote that costs will be incurred materially in excess of accruals already recognized.

The Company previously filed lawsuits in Brazil to recover certain social integration and social contribution taxes paid on gross sales, including the ICMS, which is a form of state value added tax. During the course of the lawsuit, many other taxpayers filed lawsuits with the same objective. Due to the increasing number of lawsuits filed, the Federal Supreme Court ("STF") declared that all ongoing legal cases should have their decision suspended until the STF decides on the matter, a decision that was expected to apply to all cases on this topic.

In 2019, the Company's legal advisors in Brazil notified the Company that they received judicial notification that the STF had issued a favorable decision in the case granting the Company the right to recover, by offsetting federal tax liabilities, amounts of overpayments collected by the government from 1999 to the present date. The judicial court decision was final and not subject to appeals. The estimate of the refund calculated on a gross basis was approximately 110 million Brazilian reais.

Despite the favorable decision of the STF, the Brazilian tax authorities sought clarification in the same main lawsuit on certain issues, including the value of these credits (i.e., the gross rate or the net credit value), and certain other issues that could have affected the Brazilian taxpayers' rights with respect to these credits, all of which could have materially impacted the realization of the credits. During 2021, the STF ruled in favor of taxpayers that the refund should be calculated on a gross basis.

The amount and ultimate timing of realization of these recoveries was dependent upon administrative approvals, generation of federal tax liabilities in Brazil eligible for offset and potential impacts of future legislative actions within Brazil, all of which were uncertain. During 2021, the Company sold these credits at a discount and recorded approximately $8.5 million of income related to these credits in “Cost of Sales” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
