Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Other Contingencies | 18. Other Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into real property leases, which require the Company as lessee to indemnify the lessor from liabilities arising out of the Company’s occupancy of the properties. The Company’s indemnification obligations are generally covered under the Company’s general insurance policies. From time to time, the Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe the disposition of any current matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. In October 2023, Crabar/GBF, Inc., a subsidiary of Ennis, was awarded $5.8 million in actual damages, exemplary damages and attorney’s fees in a case against Wright Printing Company, its owner Mark Wright, and CEO Mardra Sikora. Given the defendants’ pending appeal, we have no t yet recognized a contingent gain from the October 2023 judgment. Nevertheless, the defendants have posted cash bonds that total approximately $5.1 million, which should be recoverable by the Company if defendants’ appeal is unsuccessful. Ennis and one of its subsidiaries are defendants in a lawsuit in Arizona concerning the lease of the former B&D Litho facility that was closed in 2019. The Company has denied the landlord’s allegations and is vigorously contesting the landlord’s unreasonable claim. The Court has made a preliminary ruling that defendants failed to maintain the facility’s air conditioning equipment, paved surfaces and roof in good condition even though the landlord had assumed responsibility for some of those maintenance obligations. The Company has accrued a liability reserve of approximately $0.4 million related to this claim. The case will be tried during either the fourth calendar quarter of 2025 or the first calendar quarter of 2026.
