20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Maters

 

From time to time we are subject to or otherwise involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and legal proceedings that arise out of or are incidental to the conduct of our business (collectively, “Legal Matters”), including those relating to employment matters, patent rights, regulatory compliance matters, stockholder claims, and contractual and other commercial disputes. Such Legal Matters, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Additionally, an unfavorable outcome in a legal matter, including in a patent dispute, could require the Company to pay damages, entitle claimants to other relief, such as royalties, or could prevent the Company from selling some of its products in certain jurisdictions. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of or estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with such legal matters.

 

Performance Bonds

 

Certain contracts, customers and jurisdictions in which we do business require us to provide various guarantees of performance such as bid bonds, performance bonds and customs bonds. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had commitments related to these bonds totaling $21.1 million and $22.9 million, respectively, which expire at various dates through April 2025. In general we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote.

 

 

Purchase Commitments

 

We purchase components from a variety of suppliers and use contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for our products. Our inventory purchase commitments are for short-term product manufacturing requirements as well as for commitments to suppliers to secure manufacturing capacity. Certain of our inventory purchase commitments with contract manufacturers and suppliers relate to arrangements to secure supply and pricing for certain product components for multi-year periods. As of September 30, 2022, purchase commitments totaled $454.1 million.

 

Investment Commitment

 

We have committed to invest up to an aggregate of $5.0 million in a private equity fund, of which $4.9 million has been invested as of September 30, 2022.
