COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments to Purchase Inventory
The Company uses contract manufacturers for its manufacturing operations. Under these arrangements, the contract manufacturer procures inventory to manufacture products based upon the Company’s forecast of customer demand. The Company has similar arrangements with certain other suppliers. The Company is responsible for the financial impact on the supplier or contract manufacturer of any reduction or product mix shift in the forecast relative to materials that the third party had already purchased under a prior forecast. Such a variance in forecasted demand could require a cash payment for inventory in excess of current customer demand or for costs of excess or obsolete inventory. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had issued non-cancelable commitments for $28.2 million to purchase inventory from its contract manufacturers and suppliers.

Legal Proceedings
Arrow Electronics Matter
On July 27, 2023, Arrow Electronics, Inc., an electronics component distributor filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of California against Quantum, alleging breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.Arrow seeks, among other things just over $4.2 million in damages. Quantum has filed a responsive pleading, which denies the allegation in the complaint. At this time, Quantum believes the probability that this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition is remote.

Other Commitments
Additionally, from time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings and claims arising from the normal course of business activities. Based on current available information, the Company does not expect that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
