In addition, the Company must continue to monitor the conditions that are subject to the guarantees and indemnifications in order to identify if a loss has been incurred.

Amended credit agreement Our Amended Credit Agreement contains customary provisions with respect to the consequences of a “Default” or “Event of Default” as defined therein, including a restriction on the ability to access further borrowings as well as other customary rights and remedies available to the lender upon a Default or Event of Default. These include the ability to impose a default rate interest rate, prohibiting us from reinvesting asset sale proceeds, limiting repayment of intercompany debt and investment in non-loan party subsidiaries, limiting acquisitions, certain asset sales and assumption of indebtedness, and acceleration of the outstanding obligations and exercise of other remedies under the Amended Credit Agreement, among other customary restrictions. Purchase commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers The Company purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products and issue purchase orders for these products and services. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $14.7 million of open purchase orders with its suppliers and contract manufacturers, all to be procured within the next year. In addition, during the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate component supply, we enter into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that allow them to procure inventory based upon criteria as defined by us, such as forecasted demand. The Company may be liable to purchase excess product or aged material from our suppliers following reasonable mitigation efforts. The Company establishes a loss on purchase commitment liability for all product the supplier has procured for which the Company does not expect it will sell. Such loss on purchase commitment liability is included in Accrued liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, based on the timing of when the liability is expected to be resolved. The Company recorded losses on purchase commitments of $13.1 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Including the $14.7 million of open purchase orders noted above, as of December 31, 2024 the Company has $98.4 million of purchase obligations with its suppliers and contract manufacturers, of which $81.6 million is expected to be procured within the next year and $16.8 million within the next five years thereafter. Warranties The Company offers a standard warranty on its products, with the term depending on the product, and records a liability for the estimated future costs associated with potential warranty claims. The Company’s responsibility under its standard warranty is the repair or replacement of in-warranty defective product, or to credit the purchase price of the defective product, at its discretion, without charge to the customer. The Company’s estimate of future warranty costs is largely based on historical experience factors including product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery cost incurred in correcting product failures. The standard warranty is included in either Other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, depending on the time period covered by the warranty. The Company also offers an extended warranty for purchase that represents a future performance obligation for the Company. The extended warranty is included in deferred revenues (both current and noncurrent) on the consolidated balance sheets and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the extended warranty. The warranty costs are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations within cost of revenues. Indemnification The Company generally indemnifies its distributors against claims brought by a third party to the extent any such claim alleges that the Company’s product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark or violates any other proprietary rights of that third party. Although the Company generally tries to limit the maximum amount of potential future liability under its indemnification obligations, in certain agreements this liability may be unlimited. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company may be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not estimable. The Company did not make any payments under indemnification agreements in 2023 or 2024. The Company indemnifies its directors and officers and select key employees, including key employees serving as directors or officers of the Company’s subsidiaries, for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the director or officer is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the director’s or officer’s term of service. The Company may terminate the indemnification agreements with its directors, officers or key employees upon the termination of their services as directors or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries, or the termination of activities for which indemnification has been provided, but termination will not affect claims for indemnification related to events occurring prior to the effective date of termination. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure. The Company believes the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Legal proceedings Third parties may from time to time assert legal claims against the Company. The Company records accruals for loss contingencies to the extent that it concludes it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a regular basis, developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause a change in amounts recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involving legal matters, the ultimate resolution could differ from amounts recorded. There is no pending or threatened legal proceedings to which the Company is a party to, and in the Company’s opinion, is likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Shareholder lawsuit On May 22, 2024, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (Hamby v. Cambium Networks Corporation et al, Case No. 1:24-cv-04240) against us and three of our current or former officers. The complaint purported to assert claims under Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Exchange Act Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, on behalf of persons and entities who acquired our ordinary shares between May 8, 2023 and January 18, 2024 ("Class Period"). The complaint alleged that, during the Class Period, the Company and certain of its executive officers made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about its business, operations, and prospects in violation of Sections 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiffs sought damages in an unspecified amount. On July 22, 2024, motions were filed on behalf of purported class member shareholders seeking to serve as lead plaintiff.
