Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We lease certain of our buildings and equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements. Please refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. As previously disclosed, Data Logger Solutions, LLC ("Data Loggers") brought suit in Delaware Superior Court against us and our subsidiary Digi SmartSense, LLC on October 23, 2020. The suit alleges that Data Loggers has not been paid certain commissions it believes it is owed and will continue to be owed under a Reseller Agreement between Data Loggers and TempAlert. SmartSense is the successor of interest of TempAlert and terminated the Reseller Agreement in 2019. Data Loggers claims it is entitled to actual, speculative and punitive damages in connection with its allegations. In March 2024, a jury found Digi liable for breach of contract and awarded Data Loggers damages of approximately $11.6 million. Delaware law also entitles Data Loggers to interest on this award pursuant to a statutory calculation. Each party has filed post-trial motions with respect to the jury’s verdict and a hearing on these motions was held on June 28, 2024. Our motions seek to have the case retried or to remit the award of damages. The plaintiffs are seeking to expand the award of damages for attorney’s fees and additional interest. While these post-trial motions are pending, each party’s right to appeal is stayed and remains in place. Pursuant to ASC 450 we have accrued a $6.3 million liability with respect to this case. The accrual reflects a reasonable estimate of probable loss based on information currently available to us. The ultimate loss, if any, to Digi could be materially different from the amount we have accrued and we cannot predict or estimate the duration or ultimate outcome of this matter. In addition to the matter discussed above, in the normal course of business, we are presently, and expect in the future to be, subject to various claims and litigation with third parties such as non-practicing intellectual property entities as well as customers, vendors and/or employees. There can be no assurance that any claims by third parties, if proven to have merit, will not materially adversely affect our business, liquidity or financial condition.
