Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Legal Matters | Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Legal Matters The Company’s total commercial commitments under standby repurchase obligations on dealer inventory financing were $3,422,718 and $3,642,137 as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively. The commitment term is generally up to eighteen months. The Company accounts for the guarantee under repurchase agreements of independent dealers’ financing by deferring a portion of the related product sale that represents the estimated fair value of the guarantee at inception. This estimate is based on recent historical experience supplemented by the Company’s assessment of current economic and other conditions affecting its independent dealers. This deferred amount is included in the repurchase and guarantee reserve balances of $12,870 and $14,356 as of October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively, which are included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Losses incurred related to repurchase agreements that were settled during the three months ended October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023 were not material. Based on current market conditions and other conditions affecting its independent dealers, the Company believes that any future losses under these agreements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is also involved in certain litigation arising out of its operations in the normal course of its business, most of which is based upon state “lemon laws,” warranty claims and vehicle accidents (for which the Company carries insurance above a specified self-insured retention or deductible amount). The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company are subject to significant uncertainty. There is significant judgment required in assessing both the probability of an adverse outcome and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. Based on current conditions, and in management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of any current legal proceedings or claims against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Litigation is, however, inherently uncertain and an adverse outcome from such litigation could have a material effect on the operating results of a particular reporting period. As discussed in Note 15 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal 2024 Form 10-K, the Company is involved in a product recall and was part of an advertising-related investigation by certain German-based authorities that has been fully resolved. There were no significant developments related to these matters during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to these matters, and in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recognized $10,000 of income within selling, general and administrative expenses due to reducing previously recorded reserves related to these matters.
