Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

During the normal course of business, we enter into various agreements to purchase services, primarily data and information technology based services, that are enforceable and legally binding. Certain supply contracts contain penalty provisions for early termination, in addition to variable costs that are based on volume and usage. We do not expect to incur penalty payments under these provisions that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The following table summarizes, by remaining maturity, future commitments related to other arrangements as of December 31, 2022:


	Purchase Obligations

2023	$	11.7
2024	14.4

2027 and thereafter	—
Total	$	47.8

From time to time, we are party to litigation and legal proceedings relating to our business operations. Except as disclosed below, we do not believe that we are party to any current or pending legal action that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations and cash flow.

On February 9, 2023, a purported class action complaint was filed against the Company’s subsidiary, Root Insurance Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana (Case No. 3:23-cv-00089-JWD-RLB) by an individual on her behalf and further claiming to represent a putative class of insureds. The complaint alleges that the defendant breached its insurance contract and violated specific provisions of the Louisiana law in settling her vehicle total loss claim. The complaint seeks damages to include payment of alleged benefits owed under the policy, in addition to pre- and post-judgment interest, statutory penalties, attorneys fees and costs, and injunctive relief on behalf of the named plaintiff and the putative class members. The Company believes that the claims in this lawsuit are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. The lawsuit is in its early stages. Therefore, at this time, we cannot predict the outcome or estimate the likelihood or magnitude of our possible or potential loss contingency.

The defendant has moved to dismiss the claims set forth in the complaint. The Company believes that the claims in this lawsuit are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. The lawsuit is in its early stages. Therefore, at this time, we cannot predict the outcome or estimate the likelihood or magnitude of our possible or potential loss contingency.

The Company was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that defendants made false or misleading statements and omissions of purportedly material fact, in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, breached their fiduciary duties and/or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties, were unjustly enriched, wasted corporate assets, and are liable under Section 11(f) of the Securities Act, in connection with and following the Company’s IPO. The complaint seeks unspecified damages. The Company

believes that the claims in this lawsuit are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. The lawsuit is currently stayed pending resolution of the motion to dismiss filed by the defendants in the below matter and, at this time, we are unable to predict the outcome and we cannot estimate the likelihood or magnitude of our possible or potential loss contingency.
