+Added: RECOVERABLE INDIRECT TAXES
+Added: The Company’s Brazilian operations incur value added taxes (“VAT”) on certain purchases of raw materials, components and services.
+Added: These taxes are accumulated as tax credits and create assets that are reduced by the VAT collected from the Company’s sales in the Brazilian market.
+Added: The Company regularly assesses the recoverability of these tax credits, and establishes reserves when necessary against them, through analyses that include, amongst others, the history of realization, the transfer of tax credits to third parties as authorized by the government, anticipated changes in the supply chain and the future expectation of tax debits from the Company’s ongoing operations.
+Added: The Company believes that these tax credits, net of established reserves, are realizable.
+Added: The Company had recorded approximately $ 93.5 million and $ 94.6 million, respectively, of VAT tax credits, net of reserves, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
+Added: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
+Added: The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales.
+Added: Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts.
+Added: The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars may be partially hedged from time to time.
+Added: When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.
+Added: The Company uses floating rate and fixed rate debt to finance its operations.
+Added: The floating rate debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in the EURIBOR, SOFR or other applicable benchmark interest rates.
+Added: The Company believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments, and to meet that objective, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings.
+Added: The Company designates interest rate contracts used to convert the interest rate exposure on a portion of the Company’s debt portfolio from a floating rate to a fixed rate as cash flow hedges, while those contracts converting the Company’s interest rate exposure from a fixed rate to a floating rate are designated as fair value hedges.
+Added: To protect the value of the Company’s investment in foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company from time to time, may hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in the foreign subsidiaries by using a cross currency swap or foreign currency denominated debt.
+Added: The component of the gains and losses on the Company’s net investment in the designated foreign operations driven by changes in foreign exchange rates are economically offset by movements in the fair value of the cross currency swap contracts or foreign currency denominated debt.
+Added: The Company is exposed to commodity risk from steel and other raw material purchases where a portion of the contractual purchase price is linked to a variable rate based on publicly available market data.
+Added: From time to time, the Company enters into cash flow hedges to mitigate its exposure to variability in commodity prices.
+Added: The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies.
+Added: These policies are reviewed periodically by the Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
+Added: The policies allow for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates.
+Added: The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
+Added: All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.
+Added: On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (2) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.
+Added: The Company categorizes its derivative assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions used in valuing the asset or liability.
+Added: See Note 21 for a discussion of the fair value hierarchy as per the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”.
+Added: The Company’s valuation techniques are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
+Added: Counterparty Risk
+Added: The Company regularly monitors the counterparty risk and credit ratings of all the counterparties to the derivative instruments.
+Added: The Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these

+Added: There have been no negative impacts to the Company from any non-performance of any counterparties.
+Added: Derivative Transactions Designated as Hedging Instruments
+Added: Cash Flow Hedges
+Added: Foreign Currency Contracts
+Added: The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
+Added: The changes in the fair values of these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into “Cost of goods sold” during the period the sales and purchases are recognized.
+Added: These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions.
+Added: The Company designates certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases.
+Added: The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was $ 262.2 million and $ 364.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
+Added: The Company did not have any derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges related to foreign currency contracts as of December 31, 2021.

−Removed: The Company leases certain land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles and office and computer equipment under finance and operating leases.
−Removed: The Company accounts for these leases pursuant to ASU 2016-02, “Leases”.
−Removed: Under the standard, lessees are required to record an asset (a right-of-use “ROU” asset or finance lease asset) and a lease liability.
−Removed: ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term while lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments during the lease term.
−Removed: The standard allows for two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes:
−Removed: operating leases and finance leases.
−Removed: Operating leases result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term whereas finance leases result in an accelerated expense.
−Removed: ASU 2016-02 also contains guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service and supply contracts, as well as the identification of lease and nonlease components of an arrangement.
−Removed: All leases greater than 12 months result in the recognition of an ROU asset and liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term.
−Removed: The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the applicable weighted-average discount rate.
−Removed: The weighted-average discount rate is based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, or if the implicit rate is not readily determinable from the lease, then the Company estimates an applicable incremental borrowing rate.
−Removed: The incremental borrowing rate is estimated using the currency denomination of the lease, the contractual lease term and the Company’s applicable borrowing rate.
−Removed: The Company does not recognize an ROU asset or lease liability with respect to operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and recognizes expense on such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
−Removed: The Company accounts for lease components separately from nonlease components other than for real estate and office equipment.
−Removed: The Company evaluated its supplier agreements for the existence of leases and determined these leases comprised an insignificant portion of its supplier agreements.
−Removed: As such, these leases were not material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
−Removed: The Company has certain leases that contain one or more options to terminate or renew that can extend the lease term up to 14 years.
−Removed: Options that the company is reasonably certain to exercise are included in the lease term.
−Removed: The depreciable life of ROU assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term.
−Removed: The Company has certain lease agreements that include variable rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation based on the index rate as defined by the applicable government authority.
