Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Other Claims – The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, product recall, commercial, employee, environmental and other matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and there are no material exposures to loss in excess of amounts accrued and insured for losses related to these matters.

Supply Matter – During the second quarter of 2022, the Company received information from a third-party supplier concerning a regulatory compliance matter relating to the supplier's component part. As a result, out of an abundance of caution, the Company suspended all vehicle assembly and shipments (excluding LiveWire models) for approximately two weeks during the second quarter of 2022. The Company continues to work through the regulatory compliance matter with its relevant suppliers and the regulatory agency. Given the uncertainties related to this matter, the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate any potential additional costs or recall expenses it may incur. While at this time the Company does not expect that this matter will result in additional costs or recall expenses that are material, it is possible that the Company could incur additional costs or recall expenses that are material.
