CONTINGENCIES
In December 2024, Liphatech Inc. (“Liphatech”) commenced an action against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin Division. The complaint alleged, among other things, breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment. These claims are based on allegations that we misappropriated and utilized proprietary information and trade secrets of Liphatech. The complaint also alleged that we breached a non-disclosure agreement that we had entered into with Liphatech. The complaint sought unspecified damages as well as injunctive relief. In March 2026, this matter was settled, see Note 14, Subsequent Events.
In addition to the matter described above, we may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any other pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

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.
