Contingencies We are currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. If management believes that a loss arising from any of these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we will record the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur and may include monetary damages. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which any such ruling occurs, or in future periods. As previously disclosed by the Company, an action was filed against us on June 12, 2020 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania by Mark Cerini. The plaintiff, who is a former service store manager, sought certification to represent similarly situated store managers in a nationwide collective action for unpaid overtime wages, damages and attorneys’ fees. Plaintiff alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and various state laws relating to, among other things, overtime and unpaid wages. The parties entered into a settlement agreement to resolve this matter that was approved by the court. The Company included the settlement amount of $3.7 million in OSG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income during fiscal 2022. The Company paid this settlement in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and does not expect to incur additional expenses with respect to the settlement.
