| Commitments and Contingencies |
Cybersecurity Incident
In late May 2023, the Company experienced a ransomware attack (the “Cybersecurity Incident”) that affected certain of the IT systems and shipping operations. As part of the containment effort, the Company suspended affected systems and elected to temporarily suspend additional systems in an abundance of caution. The Company reactivated and restored operational systems over the course of the week following the Cybersecurity Incident. The Company has restored production and shipping at all our facilities and has restored our systems such that normal operating activities have resumed. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Cybersecurity Incident related costs net of an expected insurance receivable totaled $1.0 million.
The Company expects to incur ongoing costs related to this Cybersecurity Incident, as well as costs for ongoing efforts to enhance data security in response to ongoing developments in the cybersecurity landscape. The Company is unable to estimate the ultimate direct and indirect financial impacts of this Cybersecurity Incident, though it is not expected to be material to our full year fiscal 2023 financial results.
Insurance Coverage
The Company self-insures its general liability including product liability, automotive and workers' compensation losses up to $500 per occurrence. Catastrophic coverage has been purchased from third party insurers for occurrences up to $60,000. The two risk areas involving the most significant accounting estimates are workers' compensation and automotive liability. Actuarial valuations performed by the Company's outside risk insurance expert were used by the Company's management to form the basis for workers' compensation and automotive liability loss reserves. The actuary contemplated the Company's specific loss history, actual claims reported, and industry trends among statistical and other factors to estimate the range of reserves required. Risk insurance reserves are comprised of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts expected for development of these claims, as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $2,603 recorded for such risks is adequate as of July 1, 2023.
As of July 1, 2023, the Company has provided certain vendors and insurers letters of credit aggregating to $35,890 related to our product purchases and insurance coverage for product liability, workers’ compensation, and general liability.
The Company self-insures group health claims up to an annual stop loss limit of $300 per participant. Historical group insurance loss experience forms the basis for the recognition of group health insurance reserves. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based on an analysis of historical insurance claim data and certain actuarial assumptions. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $2,910 recorded for such risks is adequate as of July 1, 2023.
Import Duties
The Company imports large quantities of fastener products which are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements and bilateral actions. The Company could be subject to the assessment of additional duties and interest if it or its suppliers fail to comply with customs regulations or similar laws. The U.S. Department of Commerce (the "Department”) has received requests from petitioners to conduct administrative reviews of compliance with anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty laws for certain nail products sourced from Asian countries. The Company sourced products under review from vendors in China and Taiwan during the periods selected for review. The Company accrues for the duty expense once it is determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Litigation
We are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, any such litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
