Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to a number of claims and proceedings that generally arise in the ordinary conduct of the business. These matters include, but are not limited to, general liability claims (including personal injury, product liability, and property and automobile claims), indemnification and guarantee obligations, employee injuries and employment-related claims, self-insurance obligations and contract and real estate matters. The Company believes that any liabilities ultimately resulting from these ordinary course claims and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We have certain deductible limits under our workers’ compensation and liability insurance policies for which reserves are established based on the discounted estimated costs of known and anticipated claims. We have entered into standby letter of credit agreements relating to workers’ compensation, auto, and general liability self-insurance. As of April 30, 2026, we had contingent liabilities under these outstanding letters of credit of approximately $105 million, including an amount of $5 million issued under the Company's ABL Facility as disclosed in Note 14. 
Capital commitments
As of April 30, 2026, capital commitments in respect of purchase of rental and other equipment totaled $1.2 billion, all of which has been ordered. There were no other material capital commitments at the year end.

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.
