Legacy Housing Corp Commitments Disclosure
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company maintains a self-insured health benefits plan which provides medical benefits to employees electing coverage under the plan. The Company estimates and records costs for incurred but not reported medical claims and claim development. This reserve is based on historical experience and other assumptions, some of which are subjective. The Company will adjust its self-insured medical benefits reserve based on actual experience, estimated costs and changes to assumptions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the liability for incurred but not reported claims is $802 and $861, respectively. These accrued amounts are included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.
The Company is contingently liable under terms of repurchase agreements with financial institutions providing inventory financing for independent retailers of its products. These arrangements, which are customary in the industry, provide for the repurchase of products sold to retailers in the event of default by the retailer. The Company’s obligation under these repurchase agreements ceases upon the purchase of the home by the retail customer. The Company believes that risk of loss is mitigated due to the resale value of the repurchased homes and the fact that the agreements are spread over many retailers. The maximum amount for which the Company was liable under such agreements approximated $841 and $805 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. The Company considers its obligations on current contracts to be immaterial and accordingly has not recorded any reserve for repurchase commitment as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Leases. The Company leases facilities under operating leases that typically have 10 year terms. These leases usually offer the Company a right of first refusal that affords the Company the option to purchase the leased premises under certain terms in the event the landlord attempts to sell the leased premises to a third party. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $552 and $631, respectively. The Company also subleases properties to third parties, ranging from 3-year to 11-year terms with various renewal options. Rental income from the subleased properties for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was approximately $94 and $150, respectively. See Note 9 – Leases, for a schedule of the Company’s future minimum lease commitments.
Legal Matters
The Company is party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to its business. Certain of the claims pending against the Company in these proceedings allege, among other things, breach of contract and warranty, product liability and personal injury. The Company has determined that it is probable that it has
some liability related to the claims. The Company has included legal reserves of $970 and $328 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, based on past experience and the information currently available, management does not believe that the currently pending and threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances currently unknown to management will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.

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.
