COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we evaluate legal proceedings on a regular basis and accrue a liability for such matters when appropriate. Any such accruals are adjusted thereafter to reflect changed circumstances.
On February 13, 2026, VG Sellers, Inc. (the "Seller") brought a civil action in the Delaware Chancery Court against Company alleging breaches of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") governing the Company’s acquisition of Viewgol, LLC in October 2023 (the "Viewgol Acquisition"). Among other claims, the Seller alleges that it is entitled to an additional payment of up to $31.5 million pursuant to the earnout provisions set forth in the SPA, based on the Seller's assertion that Viewgol, LLC achieved certain financial targets for the year ended December 31, 2024 (such payment, the "2024 Earnout Payment"). The Company believes that the Seller is not entitled to any portion of the 2024 Earnout Payment. On March 10, 2026, the Company filed its Answer to Seller’s Complaint and filed Counterclaims against Seller that, among other things, seek a declaration that Seller is not entitled to any portion of the 2024 Earnout Payment; assert a claim against the Seller’s former owners for breach of the SPA; and seek compensatory damages and other remedies as a result of wrongdoing by Seller and its former owners. As of December 31, 2025, the Company accrued $5.0 million associated with the resolution of this matter. It is reasonably possible that the estimate will change in the near term and the effect of the change could be material and therefore we can provide no assurance as to the scope and outcome of these matters.
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.
