NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

In the normal course of business, we make commitments with our contract manufacturers to ensure them a minimum level of financial consideration for their investment in our joint solutions. These commitments are based on performance targets or on-hand inventory and non-cancelable purchase orders for non-standard components. We record a charge related to these items when we determine that it is probable a loss will be incurred and we are able to estimate the amount of the loss. Our historical charges have not been material. As of July 31, 2024, we had approximately $110.6 million of non-cancelable purchase obligations and other commitments pertaining to our daily business operations, and approximately $85.2 million in the form of guarantees to certain of our contract manufacturers.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

We have entered into agreements with some of our Partners and customers that contain indemnification provisions in the event of claims alleging that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. The scope of such indemnification varies, and may include, in certain cases, the ability to cure the indemnification by modifying or replacing the product at our own expense, requiring the return and refund of the infringing product, procuring the right for the partner and/or customer to continue to use or distribute the product, as applicable, and/or defending the partner or customer against and paying any damages from third-party actions based upon claims of infringement. Other guarantees or indemnification arrangements include guarantees of product and service performance.

We have also agreed to indemnify our directors, executive officers and certain other officers for costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the person’s service as a director or officer, including any action by us, arising out of that person’s services as a director or officer of our company or that person’s services provided to any other company or enterprise at our request. We maintain director and officer insurance coverage that may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.

The fair value of liabilities related to indemnifications and guarantee provisions are not material and have not had any material impact on our consolidated financial statements to date.

Legal Proceedings

In February 2023, we settled the two previously disclosed securities class actions that were brought on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities and/or transacted in publicly traded call options and/or put options on our stock between November 30, 2017 and May 30, 2019. The total settlement amount was $71.0 million, which was accrued as of July 31, 2023 and included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. In June 2023, $31.1 million of the settlement funds were deposited in escrow and were included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2023. In October 2023, the court granted final approval of the settlement and the funds were subsequently released from escrow and paid out to the plaintiffs. The settlement accrual was partially offset by a receivable of $39.9 million for amounts recoverable under our applicable insurance policies, which was included within prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2023. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, we recorded charges of $38.7 million for the settlement and applicable legal fees, net of our insurance receivable.

In September 2023, we settled the previously disclosed securities class action that was brought on behalf of a putative class consisting of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between September 21, 2021 and March 6, 2023. The settlement payment was not material. In November 2023, the court dismissed the securities class action pursuant to the settlement agreement with prejudice as to the lead plaintiff and without prejudice as to the other members of the putative class. In addition, in December 2023, the plaintiff in the related previously disclosed stockholder derivative action voluntarily dismissed the action.

We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material to our business or financial condition. From time to time, we may become party to various litigation matters and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.
