Note 15 – Contingencies

On January 7, 2025, our Guadalajara subsidiary Benchmark Electronics de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (Benchmark Guadalajara) received a tax assessment from the Jalisco, Mexico office of customs and taxing authorities (Servicio de Administracion Tributaria (SAT)) asserting that Benchmark Guadalajara owed approximately $12.0 million in import duties, customs penalties, fees and surcharges relating to goods imported by Benchmark Guadalajara into Mexico in the first quarter of 2016. Benchmark Guadalajara challenged the findings in the tax assessment by taking an administrative appeal with the SAT on February 19, 2025. In April 2025, Benchmark Guadalajara and SAT reached an agreement to reduce the amount levied in the tax assessment to approximately $10.1 million and the Company accrued the expected settlement during the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, $0.6 million of other related costs were incurred in connection with the matter during the second quarter of 2025. Benchmark Guadalajara plans to continue pursuing all available reimbursement opportunities pertaining to the assessment such as recoverable value add taxes.

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
