Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | A. PURCHASE COMMITMENTS We have certain contractual obligations related to purchase commitments which require minimum payments as follows:
YEAR |  | PURCHASE COMMITMENTS(1)
2024 |  | $ | 76,443 |
2025 |  | 67,533 |
2026 |  | 27,034 |
2027 |  | 110,366 |
2028 |  | 2,664 |
Thereafter |  | 2,137 |
|  | $ | 286,177 |
(1)Purchase commitments (i) include obligations related principally to software maintenance and support services and (ii) exclude our operating and financing lease obligations (see Note 2.j.) and our deferred purchase obligations (see Note 2.p.). In addition to the above, as of December 31, 2023, we have contractual commitments of approximately $740,000 for future construction costs associated with the expansion of our Global Data Center Business that are expected to be incurred over the next one to two years. B. SELF-INSURED LIABILITIES We are self-insured up to certain limits for costs associated with workers’ compensation claims, vehicle accidents, property and general business liabilities and benefits paid under employee healthcare and short-term disability programs. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $42,495 and $46,663, respectively, of self-insurance accruals reflected in Accrued expenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The measurement of these costs requires the consideration of historical cost experience and judgments about the present and expected levels of cost per claim. We account for these costs primarily through actuarial methods, which develop estimates of the undiscounted liability for claims incurred, including those claims incurred but not reported. These methods provide estimates of future claim costs based on claims incurred as of the balance sheet date. C. LITIGATION—GENERAL We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including litigation arising from damage to customer assets in our facilities caused by fires and other natural disasters. A portion of the defense and/or settlement costs associated with such litigation is covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us and, in limited cases, indemnification from third parties. Our policy is to establish reserves for loss contingencies when the losses are both probable and reasonably estimable. We record legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we do not believe any current litigation will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies and believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur aggregate losses in addition to amounts currently accrued for all matters up to an additional $19,000 over the next several years.
