Future commitments under non-cancelable agreements at January 3, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):


			Fiscal Year
	Total		2026		2027		2028		2029		2030		Thereafter
Non-cancelable agreements(1)	$	206,010	$	83,002	$	44,722	$	37,813	$	29,435	$	10,722	$	316

_________________________

(1)We have entered into commitments for service and maintenance agreements related to our management information systems, distribution contracts, advertising, sponsorships, and licensing agreements.

As we are unable to reasonably predict the timing of settlement of liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits and other noncurrent tax liabilities, the table above does not include $22.1 million, net, of such liabilities that are on our consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2026.

We are involved in various claims and legal proceedings, some of which are covered by insurance. We believe that the existing claims and proceedings, and potential losses relating to such contingencies, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Supplier Finance Program Obligations

We have a supplier finance program with a financial institution which provides certain suppliers the option, at their sole discretion, to participate in the program and sell their receivables due from us for early payment.

The following table summarizes the activity of the SFP for the year ended January 3, 2026 (in thousands):


Outstanding payment obligations as of December 28, 2024	$	63,127
Invoices confirmed during the period	336,615
Confirmed invoices paid during the period	(345,711)
Outstanding payment obligations as of January 3, 2026	$	54,031

Product Recall Reserves

In March 2023, in collaboration with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, we announced separate voluntary recalls of our original Hopper M30 Soft Cooler, Hopper M20 Soft Backpack Cooler, and SideKick Dry gear case (the “affected products”). As a result, we established a reserve as of December 31, 2022 for expected future returns and the estimated cost of recall remedies for consumers with affected products. The reserve for the estimated product recall expenses was $5.4 million and $12.1 million as of January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

The product recalls, which include recall reserve adjustments and other incurred costs, had the following effect on our income before income taxes (in thousands):

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.
