On 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. We were able to submit our IEEPA tariff refund request on April 20, 2026 through the portal. We have paid IEEPA tariffs to the U.S. government since the enactment on February 1, 2025, and accordingly we submitted our request for refund of $3.3 million 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 our submission of tariff refund requests and assessment of the recoverability of amounts paid, we have concluded as of March 28, 2026 that the recovery of previously incurred IEEPA tariffs is probable. Under a loss recovery accounting method, we recognized a receivable of $3.3 million for the IEEPA tariffs incurred in Receivables - tariff refund within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and a corresponding reversal of cost of sales for $3.3 million within the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three-month period ended March 28, 2026.
