We are involved in a variety of claims, demands, suits, investigations, and proceedings, including those identified below, that arise from time to time
relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, product liability,

such pending matters, and such amounts are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. We have disclosed the specific amount recorded for a
particular matter where required by authoritative guidance. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, the actual amounts of loss may prove to be
larger or smaller than the amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements, and we could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that
could adversely affect our operating results or cash flows in a particular period.
