LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS, AND OTHER EVENTS

NOTE O – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND OTHER EVENTS

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains liability insurance against certain risks arising out of the normal course of its business, subject to certain self-insured retention limits. The Company routinely establishes and reviews the adequacy of reserves for estimated legal, environmental, and self-insurance exposures. While management believes that amounts accrued in the consolidated financial statements are adequate, estimates of these liabilities may change as circumstances develop. Considering amounts recorded, routine legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Legal Proceedings

In January 2023, the Company and MoLo were named as defendants in lawsuits related to an auto accident which involved a MoLo contract carrier. The accident occurred prior to the Company’s acquisition of MoLo on November 1, 2021. During the second quarter 2024, the Company was released from this lawsuit, leaving MoLo as a named defendant. During the fourth quarter of 2024, a settlement and release agreement was executed by MoLo and three respective insurers with insurance policies responsible for settling the claim.

Other Events

The Company has received two Notices of Assessment from a state regarding ongoing sales and use tax audits alleging uncollected sales and use tax, including interest and penalties, for the periods December 1, 2018 to March 31, 2021 and September 1, 2016 to November 30, 2018. The Company does not agree with the basis of these assessments and filed appeals for the assessments in October 2023 and May 2021 on the same legal basis. The Company has estimated the range of loss to be from $0.2 million to $14.2 million. The Company has previously accrued $0.2 million related to these assessments consistent with applicable accounting guidance, but if the state prevails in its position, the Company may owe additional tax. Management does not believe the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

During fourth quarter 2024, the Company settled a claim for $9.8 million related to the classification of certain Asset-Light employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The claim, which was paid in January 2025, had been tentatively settled for approximately $9.5 million in 2023 with an additional $0.3 million recognized in 2024 upon final settlement. The reserve for this claim was maintained within accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
