Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, in the ordinary course of business as well as in connection with our 2024 GEC Chapter 11 cases, we are involved in litigation pertaining to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with clients; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of customers, employees, or others. The Company is involved in a dispute regarding agreements called “Equipment Supplements” with a former vendor for GEC that has resulted in three separate litigations. Trilogy Leasing Co., LLC (“Trilogy”) and its parent company Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC, filed suit against Pitney Bowes Inc. and Pitney Bowes Presort Services, LLC in November 2024, seeking $95 million in lease payments and additional interest and fees. That suit is pending in the Northern District of Illinois. In addition, we had intervened in a case filed against Trilogy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas by one of the GEC Debtors, challenging the amount of damages potentially recoverable by Trilogy. The parties have agreed that this Texas case is now moot and should be dismissed; and the parties are awaiting a ruling from the Texas Court on the scope of that dismissal. We have now raised the same arguments against the damage claims in the Illinois action. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, any actions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, in management's opinion, the final outcome of outstanding matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.
