Commitments and contingencies
As of December 31, 2024, future lease payments are secured by an irrevocable standby letter of credit totaling $1.1 million. The irrevocable standby letter of credit is expected to be pledged for the full lease term which extends through April 2028 for each of the Company’s facility leases.
Other Commitments
In November 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for access to compute capacity and other services through early 2028. The financial commitment for the years 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 are $1.6 million, $4.0 million, $7.8 million, and $2.2 million, respectively.
The Company is not currently party to any material claims or legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss or a potential range of loss is both probable and reasonably estimable.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
