Litigation
On August 13, 2025, Veeva and IQVIA entered into a settlement agreement that resolved all ongoing litigations between Veeva and IQVIA. Prior to that, IQVIA and Veeva had been involved in a series of litigations since 2017, including IQVIA Inc. v. Veeva Systems Inc. (No. 2:17-cv-00177) and IQVIA Inc. v. Veeva Systems Inc. (No. 2:19-cv-15517). Under the terms of the settlement agreement, neither party paid damages to the other party and both parties agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims and counterclaims currently pending. Accordingly, all claims and
counterclaims were dismissed. We paid approximately $31 million to certain law firms with whom we entered into partial contingency fee arrangements, pursuant to which such law firms were entitled to a success fee if certain non-monetary outcomes are achieved.
From time to time, we may be involved in other legal proceedings and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Although the results of such legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe we are not currently a party to any other legal proceedings, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows, or financial position. Regardless of the outcome, such proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of resources, and other factors, and there can be no assurances that favorable outcomes will be obtained.

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.
