Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments And Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Leases and Other Commitments The Company’s principal facilities in the United States are leased under various cancelable and non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2025. For tenant improvement allowances and rent holidays, Trimble records a deferred rent liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortizes the deferred rent over the terms of the leases as reductions to rent expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The estimated future minimum payments required under the Company’s operating lease commitments at the end of fiscal 2016 were as follows (in millions):
2017 | $ | 30.4 |
2018 | 23.6 |
2019 | 17.2 |
2020 | 12.6 |
2021 | 8.9 |
Thereafter | 23.2 |
Total | $ | 115.9 |
Net rent expense under operating leases was $34.4 million in fiscal 2016, $34.0 million in fiscal 2015, and $34.1 million in fiscal 2014. At the end of fiscal 2016, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $146.2 million. These unconditional purchase obligations primarily represent open non-cancelable purchase orders for material purchases with the Company’s vendors. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. Additionally, the Company has certain acquisitions include additional earn-out cash payments based on estimated future revenues, gross margins or other milestones. At the end of fiscal 2016, the Company had $4.5 million included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities related to these earn-outs, representing the fair value of the contingent consideration. Litigation On September 2, 2011, Recreational Data Services, LLC filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court for the State of Alaska in Anchorage against Trimble Navigation Limited, Cabela’s Incorporated, AT&T Mobility and Alascom, Inc., alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, interference with contract, promissory estoppel, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation. The case was tried in front of a jury in Alaska beginning on September 9, 2014. On September 26, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the plaintiff damages of $51.3 million. On January 29, 2015, the court granted our Motion for Judgment notwithstanding the Verdict, and on March 18, 2015, the Court awarded the Company a portion of its incurred attorneys’ fees and costs, and entered Final Judgment in the Company’s favor in the amount of $0.6 million. The Final Judgment also provides that the plaintiff take nothing on its claims. On April 17, 2015, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal to the Alaska Supreme Court. The parties have completed all appellate briefing, and oral arguments were heard before the Alaska Supreme Court on February 24, 2016. A decision by the Alaska Supreme Court has not been made. Although an unfavorable outcome on appeal could have an adverse effect on the Company, the Company believes the claims in the lawsuit are without merit. From time to time, the Company is also involved in litigation arising out of the ordinary course of our business. There are no other material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or of which any of the Company's or its subsidiaries' property is subject.
