Legal Proceedings

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties, and other sources are recorded within “Accrued liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If an amount within the range of loss appears at the time to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the liability is recorded at that amount. When no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, however; the liability is recorded at the minimum amount in the range. If a loss is reasonably possible and the amount of the loss or range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the possible loss and states that such an estimate cannot be made. Legal costs related to contingencies are recognized as expenses as they are incurred.

The Company is involved in legal proceedings, primarily related to supplier contracts and employment matters. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, the Company has developed an initial estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes related to unsettled obligations which, together with the estimated liability, is not material as of December 31, 2021 and 2022. The estimated liability is not reduced by expected recoveries from third parties, and the majority of the matters for which an estimated obligation has been recorded are expected to be settled during the year ended December 31, 2023.
