Litigation, Claims and Contingencies

LITIGATION, CLAIMS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time Valvoline is involved in claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. While Valvoline cannot predict with certainty the outcome, costs recognized with respect to such actions were immaterial during the year ended September 30, 2017. Valvoline does not have any currently pending claims or litigation which Valvoline believes, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. While Valvoline cannot predict with certainty the outcome of such matters, it believes that adequate reserves have been recorded, where appropriate, which were immaterial as of September 30, 2017 and 2016.  There is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred related to these matters; however, Valvoline believes that such potential losses will not be material.
