Note 14 – Commitments and contingencies

From time to time, the Company may face legal claims or actions in the normal course of business. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that address accounting for contingencies. The Company expenses the costs related to its legal proceedings as incurred.

On September 20, 2024, Markforged entered into a settlement agreement with Continuous Composites related to previous litigation (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve all claims and counterclaims. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Markforged made an initial upfront payment of $18 million to Continuous Composites on October 10, 2024, and is required to make three additional installment payments thereafter of $1 million, $2 million and $4 million in the fourth quarters of fiscal years 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. In consideration of such payments, the Settlement Agreement provides for a dismissal of all claims with prejudice, cross-licenses of the parties’ respective patent portfolios, a mutual release of claims for liabilities arising prior to the effective date of the Settlement Agreement and mutual covenants not to sue. The incremental amount due under the Settlement Agreement compared to the original verdict is determined to be representative of the amount attributable to the licensing of the patent rights contemplated under the Settlement Agreement and was recognized as an intangible asset of $5.5 million, after discount using a rate of 12%, to be amortized to cost of revenue over the 23 year life of the patents. Total amortization expense of $0.2 million was recognized from the period of acquisition through the year ended December 31, 2025, and included in cost of revenue. The Company paid $1.0 million during 2025 and the remaining future payments of $6.0 million under the Settlement Agreement as of December 31, 2025 are secured by the Security Agreement. The Company has recorded a settlement payable on the consolidated balance sheet of $5.0 million, of which $2.0 million is a current liability. The settlement payable will accrete $1.0 million over the remaining payment term recognized as interest expense. Interest expense related to settlement payable was $0.4 million for the period of acquisition through the year ended December 31, 2025.

On July 8, 2025, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP (“Quinn”) filed a lawsuit against Nano Dimension Ltd. and Ofir Baharav (“Defendants”). Quinn alleges that Defendants tortiously interfered with Quinn’s contract with Desktop Metal, and prevented Desktop Metal from paying Quinn approximately $30.0 million. Quinn also asserts that Defendants are liable pursuant to an alleged attorney’s lien and engaged in unfair and deceptive practices, in violation of Massachusetts law. The case is pending in the Business Litigation Session of the Suffolk Superior Court in Massachusetts. Defendants moved to dismiss. That motion was fully briefed in February 2026, argued on March 16, 2026, and remains pending.

During the third quarter of 2025, certain former employees or vendors of the Company or its subsidiaries filed lawsuits alleging that the Company is in breach of certain agreements and are entitled to certain compensation and other benefits. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company settled various matters for a total payment of $2.2 million. While other matters are still ongoing, the Company believes that it is probable that some amount of loss has been incurred and has accrued approximately $1.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 as an estimated probable loss which is included as part of general and administrative operating expenses.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, Markforged processed a $1.4 million payment to an account believed to be controlled by one of our vendors, however it was subsequently discovered that this account was not owned by the vendor. The Company suspects that a threat actor gained access to a valid email account of the vendor and used this account to fraudulently change payment instructions. The Company has notified its insurance carrier and engaged breach counsel as well as a forensics partner to help with the investigation. Pending conclusion of the investigation, approximately $1.0 million has been accrued at December 31, 2025 as the estimated amount of probable loss which is included as part of general and administrative operating expenses.
