Vendor Settlement Credit [Abstract]

Vendor Settlement Credit

Vendor Settlement Credit.

We participated in an anti-trust class-action suit as an entity that indirectly purchased liquid-crystal displays from certain manufacturers during the period from 1999 to 2006. We will be receiving net proceeds of approximately $7.1 million pursuant to a negotiated settlement of this matter. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we will receive a specified payment based on the number of LCD units purchased during this time period, and there are no performance obligations or other contingencies associated with our right to receive the specified payment. The settlement proceeds that we will receive are reported as a reduction to cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of earnings in the amount of $7.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014, and a receivable in that amount is included in prepaid expenses and other assets at September 30, 2014, in the consolidated balance sheets.
