Legal Contingencies

In connection with certain pending litigation and other claims, we have estimated the range of probable loss, net of expected recoveries, and provided for such losses through charges to our consolidated statement of income. These estimates have been based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances at each balance sheet date and are subject to change based upon new information and future events.

From time to time, we are involved in disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings as discussed in “Item 1A: Risk Factors,” “Item 3: Legal Proceedings” and “Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation and Other Legal Matters” to the consolidated financial statements included in this report. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims against us, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously. However, even if successful, our defense against certain actions will be costly and could divert our management’s time. If the plaintiffs were to prevail on certain claims, we might be forced to pay significant damages and licensing fees, modify our business practices or even be prohibited from conducting a significant part of our business. Any such results could materially harm our business and could result in a material adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of either or both of our business segments.

In connection with certain pending litigation and other claims,
we have estimated the range of probable loss, net of expected
recoveries, and provided for such losses through charges to our
consolidated statement of income. These estimates have been
based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances at each
balance sheet date and are subject to change based upon new
information and future events.


 



From time to time, we are involved in disputes that arise in the
ordinary course of business. We are currently involved in
certain legal proceedings as discussed in “Item 1A:
Risk Factors,” “Item 3: Legal Proceedings”
and “Note 11 — Commitments and
Contingencies — Litigation and Other Legal
Matters” to the consolidated financial statements included
in this report. We believe that we have meritorious defenses to
the claims against us, and we intend to defend ourselves
vigorously. However, even if successful, our defense against
certain actions will be costly and could divert our
management’s time. If the plaintiffs were to prevail on
certain claims, we might be forced to pay significant damages
and licensing fees, modify our business practices or even be
prohibited from conducting a significant part of our business.
Any such results could materially harm our business and could
result in a material adverse impact on the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of all or any of our three
businesses.
