NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Purchase Commitments

The Company enters into long-term purchase commitments for certain goods and services. In October 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with a supplier to purchase minimum volumes of certain goods and services through December 2030. Future minimum annual payments in connection with the purchase commitment as of March 31, 2026 are as follows.

In the event of certain deteriorating business conditions during fiscal year 2028, and upon providing sixty days written notice to the supplier prior to January 1, 2029, the Company has the option to request for a reduction of its minimum payments for the fiscal years of 2029 and 2030 respectively, including an extension of the commitment term by one additional fiscal year, 2031.

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business from time to time. Liabilities are accrued when it is believed that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the potential loss. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings or matters will have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2024, a putative class action complaint was filed against Fifth Wall Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, Fifth Wall Asset Management, LLC (the “FWAA Defendants”), and the individual directors of Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp. I (“FWAA”) (the “Director Defendants” and collectively the “Defendants”) in the Delaware Court of Chancery by a stockholder of FWAA for purported damages arising from the business combination with SmartRent.com, Inc. (the "2024 Class Action”). The complaint asserted claims for purported actions relating to FWAA’s August 24, 2021 merger with legacy SmartRent.com, Inc. Beginning in February 2025, the parties participated in a mediation, which ultimately led to all the parties’ agreement to settle the 2024 Class Action for $11,375. In August 2025, the parties executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release, which the Court approved in November 2025.

Legal expenses and settlement costs incurred by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $37 and $6,577, respectively, in connection with the 2024 Class Action. These legal expenses were recorded within general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In December 2025, the San Francisco Tenants Union and three residents filed claims against the Company and several multifamily property owners in the Superior Court of the State of California in the County of San Francisco for alleged violations of Article 1 Section 1 of the California Constitution for alleged violation of tenant privacy rights, for common law intrusion upon seclusion and for violation of the San Francisco Rent Ordinance for purportedly interfering with tenants' privacy rights arising out of the use of the Company’s SmartHome products and services (the "Complaint"). The Complaint seeks declaratory relief that the conduct described in the Complaint constitutes an invasion of the right to privacy and injunctive relief prohibiting the Company and owners from violating tenants’ privacy rights. The Complaint also seeks unspecified damages. The Company disputes the plaintiffs’ claims and intends to vigorously defend against those claims.

The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal claims, actions and enforcement matters, if any exist, to determine if accruals for expected negative outcomes of such matters are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates any such outstanding matters based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel. There is no assurance that the Company's accruals for loss contingencies will not need to be adjusted in the future. The amount of such adjustment could significantly exceed the accruals the Company has recorded.
