Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation: We are a party to legal proceedings and claims which arise during the ordinary course of business. We review our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections, and other legal matters on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. For unresolved legal proceedings or claims, we do not believe there is a reasonable probability that any material loss will be incurred. Accordingly, no material accrual or disclosure of a potential range of loss has been made related to these matters. We do not expect the ultimate liability of these unresolved legal proceedings or claims to have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or capital resources. On December 21, 2022, a putative class action lawsuit captioned Settles, et al. v. Daktronics, Inc., et al., Case No. 22-cv-10793 (“Securities Action”) was filed against the Company and two of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Securities Action asserts claims under §§ 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 alleging, among other things, the Company made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts which allegedly resulted in harm to a putative class of purchasers of our securities from March 10, 2022 through December 6, 2022. We are still evaluating the complaint, which is subject to amendment, but based on current knowledge we believe that the claims are without merit. We believe the likelihood of loss is remote. Accordingly, no accrual has been made. Warranties: Changes in our warranty obligation for the nine months ended January 28, 2023 consisted of the following:
| January 28, 2023
Beginning accrued warranty obligations | $ | 28,878 |
Warranties issued during the period | 9,423 |
Settlements made during the period | (8,251) |
Changes in accrued warranty obligations for pre-existing warranties during the period, including expirations | 164 |
Ending accrued warranty obligations | $ | 30,214 |
Performance guarantees: We have entered into standby letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds with financial institutions relating to the guarantee of our future performance on contracts, primarily construction-type contracts. As of January 28, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and surety bonds in the amount of $7,516, $616 and $63,312, respectively. Performance guarantees are issued to certain customers to guarantee the operation and installation of the equipment and our ability to complete a contract. These performance guarantees have various terms but are generally one year. We enter into written agreements with our customers, and those agreements often contain indemnification provisions that require us to make the customer whole if certain acts or omissions by us cause the customer financial loss. We make efforts to negotiate reasonable caps and limitations on the recovery of such damages. As of January 28, 2023, we were not aware of any indemnification claim from a customer.
