Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 16. Commitments and Contingencies Personal Injury Actions and Other - Product and general liability claims are made against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company is generall y self-insured for claims up to $10.0 million per claim ($5.0 million per claim prior to April 1, 2024) and a reserve is maintained for the esti mated costs of such claims. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the estimated net liabilities for product and general liability claims totaled $49.0 million and $45.2 million, respectively. There is inherent uncertainty as to the eventual resolution of unsettled claims. Management, however, believes that any losses in excess of established reserves will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Market Risks - The Company was contingently liable under bid, performance and specialty bonds totaling $3.24 billion and $2.86 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company’s banks in favor of third parties totaled $53.2 million and $46.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Other Matters - The Company is subject to environmental matters and legal proceedings and claims, including patent, antitrust, product liability, warranty and state dealership regulation compliance proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the final results of such matters and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Actual results could vary, among other things, due to the uncertainties involved in litigation. Certain risks are inherent in doing business with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), including technological changes and changes in levels of defense spending. The USPS and all DoD contracts contain a provision that they may be terminated at any time at the convenience of the customer. In such an event, the Company is entitled to recover allowable costs plus a reasonable profit earned to the date of termination. Major contracts for defense, delivery and other specialty vehicles and mobility systems are performed over extended periods of time and are subject to changes in scope of work and delivery schedules. Pricing negotiations on changes and settlement of claims often extend over prolonged periods of time. The Company’s ultimate profitability on such contracts may depend on the eventual outcome of an equitable settlement of contractual issues with the Company’s customers. Because the Company is a relatively large defense contractor, the Company’s U.S. government contract operations are subject to extensive annual audit processes and to U.S. government investigations of business practices and cost classifications from which legal or administrative proceedings can result. Based on U.S. government procurement regulations, under certain circumstances, the Company could be fined, as well as suspended or debarred from U.S. government contracting. During a suspension or debarment, the Company would also be prohibited from selling equipment or services to customers that depend on loans or financial commitments from the Export-Import Bank, Overseas Private Investment Corporation and similar U.S. government agencies.
