Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental liabilities — Accrued environmental liabilities were $12 at June 30, 2026 and $14 at December 31, 2025. We consider the most probable method of remediation, current laws and regulations and existing technology in estimating our environmental liabilities.
Other legal matters — We are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, we cannot state the eventual outcome of these matters. However, based on current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, we believe that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Tariffs — In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) has ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to refund the collected IEEPA tariffs. During the second quarter of 2026, we filed for refunds of previously paid tariffs assessed under IEEPA in an aggregate amount of $26 under Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the process established by the CBP. We expect to file for refunds under Phase 3 when a formal process is established. Based on the formal process established by the CBP for Phase 1 and Phase 2 refunds and the fact that we have begun to receive cash refunds from the CBP, we believe it is probable that we will recover the IEEPA refunds we have filed for under Phase 1 and Phase 2. As such, we have recorded the $26 recoverable to accounts receivable - other along with a corresponding reduction of cost of sales. As we previously invoiced our customers for reimbursement of IEEPA tariffs paid, we have recorded an offsetting obligation due to our customers to accounts receivable - trade with a corresponding reduction of net sales. |
