Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company, various subsidiaries, and certain current and former officers may be named as defendants in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings arising from the normal course of business. The Company also may become involved with contract issues and disputes with customers. With respect to litigation in general, based on the Company’s experience, management believes that the amount of damages claimed in a case are not a meaningful indicator of the potential liability. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of cases. The Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against the Company and intends to vigorously contest each of them.
The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. In management’s opinion, resolution of all current matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, if an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations for that period. At January 31, 2023, the Company had no provision for liability under existing litigation.
On September 7, 2017, a complaint was filed by Opal against the Company in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, alleging breach of contract and violation of Oregon’s Uniform Trade Secrets Act, among other claims. On September 5, 2018, the case was moved from state court to federal court on the Company’s motion. On February 25, 2022, the Company and Opal agreed to settle all outstanding claims with respect to Opal’s complaints. On March 1, 2022, the court dismissed all of Opal’s claims with prejudice. The Company and Opal finalized the settlement on March 15, 2022, which was accrued as of January 31, 2022 and paid on March 30, 2022.
