Commitments and Contingencies
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
We have non-cancelable contractual agreements primarily related to the hosting of our data processing, storage, and other computing services, as well as lease, content and developer partner, and other commitments. We had $3.0 billion in commitments as of March 31, 2026, primarily due within two years. For additional discussion on leases, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies
We record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Accounting for contingencies requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. Many legal and tax contingencies can take years to be resolved.
Pending Matters
In November 2021, we and certain of our officers were named as defendants in a federal securities class action lawsuit purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our Class A common stock, alleging that we and certain of our officers made false or misleading statements and omissions concerning the impact that Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework would have on our business. In September 2025, we reached a preliminary settlement agreement to resolve this matter for $65.0 million, which we expect to be covered by insurance. In April 2026, the court granted final approval of the settlement and dismissed the action. The impact of this settlement on our consolidated financial statements is not material.
In August 2025, we and certain of our officers were named as defendants in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit was purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our Class A common stock. The lawsuit alleges that we and certain of our officers made false or misleading statements concerning an ad platform change that impacted revenue in the first half of 2025. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages and other relief. In December 2025, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the case which may be refiled in the future. Although we believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims, litigation is inherently uncertain, and an unfavorable outcome could seriously harm our business. For this pending matter, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the amount or range of loss.
We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including certain patent, trademark, privacy, regulatory, and employment matters. The outcomes of these legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for a particular period. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we do not currently believe that the final disposition of any of our other pending matters will seriously harm our business or materially impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, investors, directors, officers, employees, and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification may include losses from our breach of such agreements, services we provide, or third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments may not be subject to a cap. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications as of March 31, 2026. We believe the fair value of these liabilities is immaterial and accordingly have no liabilities recorded for these agreements at March 31, 2026.
