The three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes Tax Indemnification Adjustments and an adjustment to the Employee Retention Credit pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act as enhanced by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”) and American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) due to a change in estimate as well as estimated settlement reserves.

The following table summarizes the impacts of the company's foreign currency hedging program on the company's results of operations. The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The hedging program gains (losses) are largely taxable (tax deductible) in the U.S., whereas the offsetting exchange gains (losses) on the remeasurement of the net monetary asset positions are often not taxable (tax deductible) in their local jurisdictions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income (expense) - net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations in the interim Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the second quarter of 2024, the previously-restricted cash in the Water District Settlement Fund, which was established by the settling companies in September 2023 under the Nationwide Water District Settlement, was released. Collective contributions amounted to $1.185 billion, with Chemours contributing 50 percent and DuPont and Corteva collectively contributing the remaining 50 percent pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement. All of the company's
restricted cash equivalents are classified as current as of September 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, except for the 2024 contribution to the MOU Escrow Account, which is classified as noncurrent as of September 30, 2024.
