Legal Proceedings
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 the Company settled a legal matter which resulted in a gain of $4.9 related to an intellectual property claim against a third party. This was included in SG&A in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company received payment for the intellectual property claim settlement during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company received a favorable court ruling regarding an international VAT matter, which the plaintiff has no ability to appeal. As the Company had previously recorded an accrual for this matter, based on its best estimate of the facts and circumstances at that time, the result of the favorable court ruling was a release of the reserve established which resulted in a gain of $2.2. This was included in SG&A in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 the Company settled certain legal matters which resulted in a gain of $7.5 related to intellectual property claims against a third party. This was included in SG&A in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company received payment for the settlement subsequent to June 30, 2022.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations during the ordinary course of business. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims, and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.
