| Receivable - Tariff Refunds | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contingencies The Company assesses its exposure related to legal matters, including those pertaining to product liability, safety and health matters and other items that arise in the regular course of its business. If the Company determines that it is probable a loss has been incurred, the amount of the loss, or an amount within the range of loss, that can be reasonably estimated will be recorded. There are no pending or threatened legal matters for which a reasonably estimated range of losses can be determined except as described below, and accordingly, the Company has not identified any such legal matters that could have a material adverse effect on its consolidated condensed results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Legal Proceedings During the first six months of 2026, the Company settled all claims pending against it in the previously reported lawsuit styled Moss Land Company, LLC, et al. v City of Calhoun, et al., in the Superior Court of Gordon County Georgia, case No. 24CV74289, including all claims and counter-claims asserted against the Company in that case by the City of Calhoun, Georgia. Those claims have been dismissed with prejudice. Additionally, the claims asserted against the Company in the previously reported lawsuit styled the City of Chatsworth, Georgia and Chatsworth Water Works Commission v. 3M Company, et al. in the Superior Court of Murray County, Georgia, Case No. 25-CI-0245, have been dismissed without prejudice. The Company has settled all claims against it in the previously reported lawsuits styled William Hartwell Brooks, et al. v City of Calhoun Georgia, et al., in the Superior Court of Gordon County Georgia, Case No. 25CV74289, and James Haley Stephens and Pamela J. Stephens v 3M Company, et al., in the Superior Court of Gordon County Georgia, case No. 25CV75072. Accordingly, the Company expects a prompt dismissal of those claims with prejudice. Environmental Remediation The Company accrues for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and estimable. Remediation obligations are accrued based on the latest available information and are recorded at undiscounted amounts. The Company regularly monitors the progress of environmental remediation. If studies indicate that the cost of remediation has changed from the previous estimate, an adjustment to the liability would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made (see Note 20). RECEIVABLE - TARIFF REFUNDSOn February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), which the U.S. administration relied on to impose certain tariffs, does not authorize the administration to impose tariffs. On March 4, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ("CIT") issued an order directing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) agency to begin formalizing a process for refunds. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched an online portal that can be used to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. All requests will be reviewed by the CBP to determine validity prior to the issuance of refunds. The Company was able to submit its IEEPA tariff refund request on April 20, 2026 through the portal. The Company has paid IEEPA tariffs to the U.S. government since the enactment on February 1, 2025, and accordingly the Company submitted its request for refund of $3,318 related to IEEPA tariffs paid during the period from February 1, 2025 to February 20, 2026. Based on the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, related CIT proceedings, and the Company's submission of tariff refund requests and assessment of the recoverability of amounts paid, the Company concluded that the recovery of previously incurred IEEPA tariffs is probable. Under a loss recovery accounting method, the Company recognized a receivable of $3,318 for the IEEPA tariffs incurred in Receivables - tariff refund within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding reversal of Cost of sales for $3,318 within the condensed consolidated statement of income for the six-month period ended June 27, 2026. During the quarter-ended June 27, 2026, the Company received partial payments of $261 plus an immaterial amount of interest of previously paid tariffs. The Company will continue to monitor regulatory guidance regarding the refund process.
