Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business. These proceedings include claims for damages arising out of use of the Company’s products, intellectual property, workers’ compensation and environmental matters. The Company is self-insured up to specified limits for certain types of claims, including product liability and workers’ compensation, and is fully self-insured for certain other types of claims, including environmental and intellectual property matters. The Company recognizes a liability for any contingency that in management’s judgment is probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. We continually reassess the likelihood of adverse judgments and outcomes in these matters, as well as estimated ranges of possible losses based upon an analysis of each matter which includes advice of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.

As previously reported, in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a charge of $12.5 million in Cost of goods sold representing the estimated withdrawal liability from one of the multi-employer pension plans in which it participated. Depending on actions of third parties, including bankruptcy or withdrawals from the multi-employer plan of the remaining participants under terms customary to multi-employer plans, it is possible that the Company could in the future be subject to certain additional liabilities associated with its participation and withdraw from the multi-employer pension plan, which the Company estimated could be up to an additional $23 million as of March 31, 2019. In connection therewith, on October 4, 2018, the trustees of the plan demanded an additional payment of $23.3 million. The Company disputes the trustees' demand and on October 4, 2018, the Company commenced an arbitration proceeding with respect thereto. In March 2019, the remaining employer in the multi-employer pension plan filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code inducing a stay of the arbitration. The Company intends to continue to pursue arbitration pending the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings.
