Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies
We are involved in various legal and administrative proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business. Some of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties or judgments being assessed against us, which may adversely affect our financial results. In addition, from time to time, we are involved in various disputes, which may or may not be settled prior to legal proceedings being instituted and which may result in losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, relating to such unresolved disputes. As of December 31, 2023, we have established an estimated liability associated with the aforementioned disputes. Expenses related to litigation reduce operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings or disputes would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results of operations or cash flows in any one reporting period. Refer to Note 8, "Accrued Liabilities" for more information regarding our accruals related to these proceedings.
In January 2020, the Company received service of process in a class action application in the Superior Court of Quebec, Montreal, Canada related to certain heating elements previously manufactured by Thermon Heating Systems and incorporated into certain portable construction heaters sold by certain manufacturers. The Company has reached an agreement with the plaintiff and other defendants to resolve this matter without admitting to any liability, and we recently obtained approval of the same by the Superior Court. The settlement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations and will be paid with no material impact on cash flows.
Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees
At December 31, 2023, the Company had in place letter of credit guarantees and performance bonds securing certain performance obligations of the Company. These arrangements totaled $12,818. Of this amount, $687 is secured by cash deposits at the Company’s financial institutions and an additional $2,607 represents a reduction of the available amount of the Company's revolving credit facility. In addition to the arrangements totaling $12,818, our Indian subsidiary also has $4,356 in non-collateralized customs bonds outstanding to secure the Company's customs and duties obligations in India.
