Purchase Obligations
The Company has contractual obligations related to component inventory that its contract manufacturers procure on its behalf in accordance with its production forecast as well as other inventory related purchase commitments. As of September 30, 2024, these purchase obligations totaled approximately $141.9 million.
Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not been fully resolved. An accrual for a loss contingency or loss recovery is recognized when it is probable and the amount of loss or recovery can be reasonably estimated. The outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, in the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss greater than a recorded accrual, concerning loss contingencies for asserted legal and other claims, except for the complaint described below.
On July 17, 2024, Zola Electric International, Ltd. (“Zola”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, alleging breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing related to a joint development agreement and master supply agreement between Zola and the Company. Zola does not quantify any alleged damages in the complaint, but in addition to attorneys' fees and costs, seeks an order compelling specific performance of the Company's contractual obligations, as well as damages in an amount to be proven at trial. On September 19, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. The hearing on the motion to dismiss is currently scheduled to be heard on November 22, 2024. Due to the early stage of this proceeding, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential range of loss, if any, or the likelihood of a potential adverse outcome. The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.
