7. PRODUCT-RELATED LIABILITIES

The Company is exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the event that the Company’s products fail to perform as represented and such failure results, or is alleged to result, in bodily injury, and/or property damage or other loss. The Company has reserves for product risks. Such reserves are related to product performance issues, including recalls, product liability, and warranty issues. For further explanation, see Note 8. Contingent Liabilities below.

For the three months period ended June 30, 2026, new provisions mainly related to warranty related issues. For the three months period ended June 30, 2025, new provisions mainly related to recall and warranty related issues. For the six months periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, cash payments mainly related to warranty related issues.

As of June 30, 2026, the reserve for product related liabilities consisted of warranty and recall related issues.
