Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to a variety of contractual agreements under which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party for certain matters. These contracts primarily relate to our commercial contracts, operating leases, trademarks, intellectual property, financial agreements, and various other agreements. Under these contracts, we may provide certain routine indemnifications relating to representations and warranties (e.g., ownership of assets, environmental or tax indemnifications), or personal injury matters. The terms of these indemnifications range in duration and may not be explicitly defined. Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated, and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
As a multinational company, we are subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims (“Actions”) arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. As of August 4, 2018, Actions filed against us included commercial, intellectual property, customer, employment, and data privacy claims, including class action lawsuits. The plaintiffs in some Actions seek unspecified damages or injunctive relief, or both. Actions are in various procedural stages and some are covered in part by insurance. As of August 4, 2018February 3, 2018, and July 29, 2017, we recorded a liability for an estimated loss if the outcome of an Action is expected to result in a loss that is considered probable and reasonably estimable. The liability recorded as of August 4, 2018February 3, 2018, and July 29, 2017 was not material for any individual Action or in total. Subsequent to August 4, 2018 and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no information has become available that indicates a change is required that would be material to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.
We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Accordingly, developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and impact income in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole.

Fire at the Fishkill Distribution Center
On August 29, 2016, a fire occurred in one of the buildings at a Company-owned distribution center campus in Fishkill, New York. The Company maintains property and business interruption insurance coverage and, based on the provisions of the Company’s insurance policies, the Company recorded insurance recoveries based on the determination that recovery of certain fire-related costs was probable. In January 2018, the Company agreed upon a final settlement with its insurers.
During the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2017, the Company agreed upon a partial insurance settlement and recorded a gain of $64 million, primarily related to property and equipment, representing the excess over the loss on fire-related recoverable costs, which was recorded in operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
During the twenty-six weeks ended July 29, 2017, we allocated $59 million of advance payments of insurance proceeds to the loss on property and equipment based on the current estimate of recovery of certain fire-related costs, and the amount has been reported as insurance proceeds allocated to loss on property and equipment, a component of cash flows from investing activities, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
