Legal Proceedings and Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies arise from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources and are recognized as accrued liabilities when management believes that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Gain contingencies are recognized only when realized. In the event any losses are sustained in excess of accrued liabilities, they are charged against income in the period in which they occur. In evaluating loss contingencies, management takes into consideration factors such as historical experience with matters of similar nature, specific facts and circumstances, and the likelihood of avoiding the loss. Accrued liabilities for loss contingencies are evaluated and updated as matters progress over time. It is reasonably possible that some of the loss contingencies for which accrued liabilities have not been established could be resolved unfavorably to the Company and could require recognizing future expenditures. Legal costs related to contingencies are recognized as expenses as they are incurred.

The Company is involved in legal proceedings and evaluates other loss contingencies primarily comprised of supplier disputes, which can be, for example, a result of changing demand forecasts or design modifications, along with commercial litigation including product liability claims which may result in liabilities of the Company. Although the Company believes it has valid defenses with respect to these matters, as of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company recorded approximately $80 million and $110 million, respectively, for estimated probable losses related to these matters in “Accrued liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company estimates it is reasonably possible that losses in excess of the accrued liability could occur, up to approximately $230 million, or an excess of $120 million over the accrued liability recorded. The Company expects the majority of the matters to be resolved within the next 12 to 24 months.
