In September 2018, the Company recorded a $20 million loss due to damage associated with a lightning incident at the Andres facility in the Dominican Republic.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, we recognized a full allowance on a non-trade receivable in the MCAC SBU as a result of payment delays and discussions with the counterparty. The allowance was related to certain reimbursements the Company was expecting in connection with a legal matter.
