1 2 . | Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, which inherently involve an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been or is probable of being incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. In June 2025, the Company initiated legal action against the landlord seeking rescission of the lease due to unremediated structural defects on the newly constructed facility in Monterrey, Mexico that prevented the Company from effectively utilizing the facility for its intended purpose. The case was dismissed by the Court and the Company is appealing the ruling. During the three months ended July 31, 2025, the Company assessed the carrying value of the right-of-use asset associated with the lease and concluded the asset was impaired given that (i) the space is not usable for its intended purpose; (ii) no economic benefits are expected to be derived during the appeal process; and (iii) the likelihood of recovery of the carrying value of the right-of-use asset is remote. A lease impairment charge of $3.6 million was recorded during the three months ended July 31, 2025 on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company is involved in various claims, actions, and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including multiple lawsuits pending in the aqueous film forming foam (“AFFF”) multi-district litigation consolidated in the United States District Court of South Carolina, Charleston Division. These cases involve allegations that plaintiffs were exposed to Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) in the course of their careers as firefighters. Plaintiffs allege they were exposed to PFAS contained in AFFF and firefighter turnout gear. The Company is also named alongside several defendants in a class action regarding firefighter turnout gear pending in the United States District Court of Connecticut, styled as Uniformed Professional Fire Fighters Association of Connecticut et al. v. 3M Company et al., Case No. 3:24-CV-01101. The case seeks certification of a fire fighter class, a nationwide purchaser class, and a Connecticut purchaser subclass. The Company’s exposure in these matters to losses, if any, is not reasonably estimable at this time. General litigation contingencies The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings arising during the normal course of business which, in the opinion of the management of the Company, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of these matters. As of July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there were no significant outstanding claims or litigation.
