On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were invalid. The U.S. Court of International Trade subsequently ordered refunds for qualifying customs entries. CBP has established a phased administrative process for submitting refund claims for certain IEEPA tariffs. The Company paid approximately $117 million in IEEPA tariffs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we received cash refunds related to the previously paid IEEPA tariffs of $2.1 million. In addition, as of June 27, 2026, we determined that the receipt of the remaining refunds of the previously paid IEEPA tariffs was probable. We estimate the amount of the probable refund to be $114.7 million, which was recorded as a receivable. Although the Company believes collection of the IEEPA tariffs is probable based on currently available information, the timing of cash receipts is dependent upon the execution of the refund process by the CBP and the U.S. Treasury Department.
