16. Commitments and contingencies
We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. A liability is recognized in our consolidated financial statements when a loss is considered probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, we will disclose the nature of the claim and, if possible, an estimate of the loss or range of loss. We believe it is remote that outcomes of such known matters would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
