Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including, among other things, contract and employment claims, personal injury claims, intellectual property claims, product liability claims and warranty claims, some of which may be covered by insurance. As of December 31, 2025, there were no legal proceedings against the Company that it believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of any current or future legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and, regardless of the outcome, the Company may incur significant costs and experience a diversion of management resources as a result of legal proceedings. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.

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.
