Current report

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling regarding tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) on goods imported into the United States, concluding that such tariffs were unauthorized. As of the date of this report, the Company has paid approximately $17.9 million in tariffs subject to the ruling.

Current report

The ruling did not address the availability, timing, or amount of any potential refunds. The U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”) has ordered the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to refund the collected IEEPA tariffs. The administrative process for seeking refunds of IEEPA tariffs previously paid remains under development and the CIT’s order may be subject to U.S. government challenge. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) system for IEEPA refunds, which the CBP plans to implement through a phased development approach. There can be no guarantee that a refund, if received, will equal the full amount of IEEPA tariffs paid, and any refund may be subject to taxes and other adjustments or further legal, regulatory, or administration developments. Given these uncertainties, the Company has not recognized any benefit or asset related to potential IEEPA tariff refunds as of this filing date. Following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision, the U.S. administration announced additional tariffs under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 and could take action to implement additional tariffs in the future. Accordingly, any recovery of amounts paid remains uncertain, and management has concluded that recognition of a receivable or recovery asset is not appropriate at this time.

Current report

The Company continues to monitor developments related to this ruling, as well as changes in U.S. and foreign trade, import, and export policies, which could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
