Litigation 
Over the years, the Company has been named as a defendant, along with numerous other defendants, in lawsuits in various courts in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to exposure to asbestos-containing friction products produced and sold predominantly by the Company’s discontinued Motion Control business between the late-1940s and the mid-1980s. The Company has been subject to liabilities for indemnity and defense costs associated with these lawsuits.
The Company has recorded a liability for estimated indemnity costs associated with pending and future asbestos claims. As of December 31, 2020, the Company believes that its accrual for these costs is not material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows.
The Company recognizes expenses for defense costs associated with asbestos claims during the periods in which they are incurred. Refer to Note 1 for the Company’s accounting policy related to litigation defense costs.
The Company currently maintains insurance coverage with respect to asbestos-related claims and associated defense costs. The Company records the insurance coverage as a long-term receivable in an amount it reasonably
estimates is probable of recovery for pending and future asbestos-related indemnity claims. Since the Company’s insurance policies contain various coverage exclusions, limits of coverage and self-insured retentions and may be subject to insurance coverage disputes, the Company may recognize expenses for indemnity and defense costs in particular periods if and when it becomes probable that such costs will not be covered by insurance.
The Company is also involved in various other legal actions and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcomes of such actions and proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or operating cash flows.
