The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three months ended March 30, 2024, include benefits in “Operating expenses” of $11.3 million for payments received associated with a legal matter. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of legal matters, management believes that the results of all legal matters will not have a material impact on Snap-on’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
