L. Contingencies

 

From time to time, we become involved in various investigations, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters may relate to product liability, employment, intellectual property, regulatory, contract or other matters. The resolution of these matters as they arise may be subject to various uncertainties and, even if such claims are without merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. While unfavorable outcomes are possible, based on available information, we currently do not believe the resolution of these matters will result in a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, or results of operations. However, a settlement payment or unfavorable outcome could be greater than we currently anticipate and if so, could adversely impact our results of operations. Our evaluation of the likely impact of these actions could change in the future and we could have unfavorable outcomes we do not expect.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

We continue to monitor and evaluate the risks to public health and the impact on overall global business activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including its potential impacts on our employees, customers, suppliers and financial results. As the situation remains fluid, it is difficult to predict the duration and scope of the pandemic and its impact on our business. However, it may result in a material adverse impact to our financial position, operations and cash flows if conditions persist or worsen.

 

Russia-Ukraine War

 

In February 2022, armed conflict escalated between Russia and Ukraine. Management is monitoring the conflict in Ukraine and any broader economic effects from the crisis. Although Russia and Ukraine did not account for any of our net sales in FY 2021, recently imposed economic sanctions and export control measures by the U.S. and European Union against Russia have resulted in increased volatility in the availability and prices of raw materials that are produced in that region. There are further concerns regarding continued supply chain disruptions, consumer purchasing and consumption behavior, increases in global shipping expenses, greater volatility in foreign exchange and interest rates, and other unforeseen business disruptions due to the current global geopolitical tensions, including relating to Ukraine. Additionally, escalation by Russia beyond Ukraine could adversely affect our European operations. We will continue to evaluate impacts of the conflict on our customers, suppliers, employees, and operations.
