NOTE 19 INSURANCE SETTLEMENT RECEIVABLE

 

A fire caused damage to Aptar’s facility in Annecy, France in June 2016. The fire was contained to one of three production units and there were no reported injuries. Aptar Annecy supplies anodized aluminum components for certain Aptar dispensing systems. While repairs are underway, Aptar sources from its network of suppliers as well as from its anodizing facility in Brazil. We are insured for the damages caused by the fire, including business interruption insurance, and we do not expect this incident to have a material impact on our financial results.

Losses related to the Annecy fire of $18.9 million and $20.3 million were incurred during 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we received insurance proceeds of $24.2 million. We have established an insurance receivable of $3.4 million as of December 31, 2018, for known losses, which is included in Prepaid and Other in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In many cases, our insurance coverage exceeds the amount of these incurred losses. Operating Income was negatively impacted by $5.8 million during 2018. These 2018 losses negatively impacted the Beauty + Home and Pharma segments by $3.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Operating income was negatively impacted by $5.6 million during 2017. During 2017, we also recognized $10.6 million of gain due to the insurance recovery on the involuntary conversion of fixed assets related to this fire, which is included in Other (Expense) Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These 2017 amounts impacted the Beauty + Home segment.

A separate fire caused damage to the roof and production area of one of our facilities in Brazil in September 2014. There were no injuries. The facility is primarily an internal supplier of anodized aluminum components for certain dispensing systems sold to the regional beauty and personal care markets. Repairs of the facility were essentially completed in the fourth quarter 2015.  AptarGroup was insured for the damages caused by the fire, including business interruption insurance.  The final insurance settlement was received in the fourth quarter of 2016.  During 2016, we recognized $559 thousand of gain related to this fire, which is included in Other (Expense) Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
