Other commitments and contingencies |
Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. These indemnification provisions generally encompass third-party claims arising from our products and services. This includes, but is not limited to, service failures, breaches of security, intellectual property rights, compliance with governmental regulations, and employment-related matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by our breach of the terms of the contract. When disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties, and indemnities to cover various risks. These risks may include unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal matters related to periods prior to disposition. We do not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, we do not believe that any liability under these indemnities would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations, or annual cash flows. We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications related to environmental matters. These liabilities were not material as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Self-insurance – We are self-insured for certain costs, primarily workers' compensation claims and medical and dental benefits for active employees and those employees on long-term disability. The liabilities associated with these items represent our best estimate of the ultimate obligations for reported claims, as well as those incurred, but not reported. These liabilities totaled $9,985 as of June 30, 2025 and $8,200 as of December 31, 2024, and are included in accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Our workers' compensation liability is recorded at present value, and the difference between the discounted and undiscounted liability was not material as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Our self-insurance liabilities are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, and other actuarial assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities could be significantly affected if future events and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. Litigation – The liabilities recorded for legal matters, along with the related charges recorded in each period, did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity during the periods presented. We do not anticipate that any of the currently identified claims or litigation will materially affect our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity upon resolution. However, it is important to note that litigation carries inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings are possible. Should an unfavorable ruling occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity in the period of the ruling or in future periods.
