CELESTICA ANNOUNCES ADJUSTMENT TO

NON-CASH, DEFERRED TAX RECOVERY REPORTED

IN THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

 

TORONTO, Canada - Celestica Inc. (NYSE, TSX: CLS), a global provider of innovative electronics manufacturing services (EMS), today announced an adjustment to a non-cash, deferred tax recovery previously reported in the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

 

The company has determined that the assumptions used in the second quarter to record a non-cash, deferred tax recovery relating to a tax benefit resulting from a previous year’s write-down of an acquired and subsequently restructured Canadian operation were incorrect. An error in the cost basis for tax purposes of that Canadian acquisition led to the incorrect presumption that a tax benefit could be realized in the second quarter. Accordingly, deferred tax recovery and GAAP net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 have been adjusted downward by $44.1 million, respectively. Basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 have been adjusted from $0.11 and $(0.04), respectively to $(0.08) and $(0.23), respectively. The company has adjusted its prior period balances in accordance with accounting standards and is filing amended financial statements to reflect the change.

 

The change to the deferred tax recovery has no impact on reported adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share for the second quarter of 2007 of $4.9 million or $0.02 per share,  respectively, and has no impact on revenue, operating earnings or cash. (Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings before amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on the repurchase of shares and debt, integration costs related to acquisitions, option expense, option exchange costs and other charges, net of tax and significant deferred tax write-offs or recovery).

 

The company also reconfirmed its revenue outlook for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 of $2.0 billion to $2.2 billion, and its expected adjusted net earnings per share of $0.04 to $0.12.

 

The company’s third quarter results will be released on Thursday, October 25, after markets close, followed by a webcast at 4:30 p.m. which can be accessed at www.celestica.com.

 

Supplementary Information

 

In addition to disclosing detailed results in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Celestica also provides supplementary non-GAAP measures as a method to evaluate the company’s operating performance.

 

Management uses adjusted net earnings as a measure of enterprise-wide performance. As a result of acquisitions made by the company, restructuring activities, securities repurchases and the adoption of fair value accounting for stock options, management believes adjusted net earnings is a useful measure for the company as well as its investors to facilitate period-to-period operating comparisons and allow the comparison of operating results with its competitors in the U.S. and Asia. Adjusted net earnings excludes the effects of acquisition-related charges (most significantly, amortization of intangible assets and integration costs related to acquisitions), other charges (most significantly, restructuring costs and the write-down of goodwill and long-lived assets), gains or losses on the repurchase of shares or debt, option expense and option exchange costs, and the

 

more...

 



 

related income tax effect of these adjustments and any significant deferred tax write-offs or recovery. Adjusted net earnings does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted net earnings is not a measure of performance under Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings (loss) prepared in accordance with Canadian or U.S. GAAP. The company has provided a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings (loss) to Canadian GAAP net earnings (loss) below.

1.     Significant accounting policies :

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in Canada with a reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, disclosed in note 20 to the 2006 annual consolidated financial statements.

 

The disclosures contained in these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all requirements of Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2006 annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly our financial position as at June 30, 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are based upon accounting principles consistent with those used and described in the 2006 annual consolidated financial statements, except for the following:

 

Change in accounting policies:

 

(a)  Financial instruments:

 

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the new standards issued by the CICA on financial instruments, hedges and comprehensive income. Section 1530, “Comprehensive income,” Section 3855, “Financial instruments — recognition and measurement,” Section 3861, “Financial instruments – disclosure and presentation,” and Section 3865, “Hedges,” were effective for our first quarter of 2007. We were not required to restate prior results.

 

On January 1, 2007, we made the following transitional adjustments to our consolidated balance sheet to adopt the new standards:

The details of the transitional adjustments are noted below.

 

The impact of the new standards on our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 is as follows:

The new standards require all financial assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet, except for loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and non-trading financial liabilities, which are carried at their amortized cost. We do not currently have any financial assets designated as available-for-sale.

 

All derivatives, including embedded derivatives that must be separately accounted for, are measured at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet. The types of hedging relationships that qualify for hedge accounting have not changed under the new standards. We will continue to designate our hedges as either cash flow hedges or fair value

hedges. In a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative, to the extent effective, are recorded in other comprehensive income/loss (OCI) until the asset or liability being hedged is recognized in operations. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized in operations immediately. For hedges that are discontinued before the end of the original hedge term, the unrealized hedge gain/loss in OCI is amortized to operations over the remaining term of the original hedge. If the hedged item ceases to exist before the end of the original hedge term, the unrealized hedge gain/loss in OCI is recognized in operations immediately. In a fair value hedge, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative are offset in operations by the changes in the fair value relating to the hedged risk of the asset, liability or cash flows being hedged.

 

Derivatives may be embedded in financial instruments (the “host instrument”). Under the new standards, embedded derivatives are treated as separate derivatives when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host instrument, the terms of the embedded derivative are similar to those of a stand-alone derivative, and the combined contract is not held for trading or designated at fair value. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in operations. We have elected January 1, 2003 as our transition date for identifying contracts with embedded derivatives. Currently we have prepayment options that are embedded in our Senior Subordinated Notes which meet the criteria for bifurcation. The impact of the prepayment options on our consolidated financial statements is described under the transitional adjustments below and in note 4(d).

 

The new standards require that we present a new “consolidated statement of comprehensive income/loss” as part of our consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income/loss is comprised of net income/loss, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and the net unrealized foreign currency translation gain/loss arising from self-sustaining foreign operations, which was previously classified as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Subsequent releases from OCI to operations is dependent on when the hedged items designated under cash flow hedges are recognized in operations, or upon de-recognition of the net investment in a self-sustaining foreign operation.

 

In determining the fair value of our financial instruments, we used a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing on each reporting date. Broker quotes and standard market conventions and techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models, are used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments, including derivatives and hedged debt obligations. All methods of fair value measurement result in a general approximation of value and such value may never actually be realized.

 

The transitional impact of recording our derivatives as at January 1, 2007 at fair value on our consolidated financial statements is as follows:

 

(i)          Cash flow hedges:

 

As at January 1, 2007, we recorded derivative assets of $5.8 and derivative liabilities of $6.0 at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet in relation to our cash flow hedges, with a corresponding balance of $0.2 recorded in the opening accumulated other comprehensive loss. In addition, we reclassified $0.3 of net deferred foreign exchange losses to opening accumulated other comprehensive loss. The ineffective portion of cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2006 was insignificant and, therefore, did not impact the opening deficit.

 

(ii)      Fair value hedges:

 

In connection with the issuance of our $500.0 Senior Subordinated Notes (2011 Notes) in June 2004, we entered into agreements to swap the fixed interest rate for a variable interest rate. We have designated the swap agreements as fair value hedges. As at January 1, 2007, we recorded a derivative liability of $7.9 (net of an interest accrual of $2.0) for the swap agreements in other long-term liabilities. A corresponding fair value adjustment was not recorded against the 2011 Notes since the prior hedge relationship was not considered a

qualified type under Section 3865 after bifurcation of the embedded prepayment option in accordance with Section 3855. We decreased the deferred income tax liability by $2.6 and recorded a loss of $5.3 to opening deficit. A new hedge relationship was redesignated on January 1, 2007 which qualified for fair value hedge accounting in accordance with Section 3865.

 

(iii)  Embedded derivatives:

 

The prepayment options embedded in our Senior Subordinated Notes qualify as embedded derivatives which must be bifurcated for reporting in accordance with the new standards. As at January 1, 2007, we bifurcated the fair value of the embedded derivative asset of $9.3 from the Notes. As a result of recording this asset, the amortized cost of long-term debt increased. We also recorded a cumulative adjustment of $1.9 against the opening deficit. Any subsequent change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives will be recorded in operations.

 

(iv)    Effective interest method:

 

We incurred underwriting commissions and expenses relating to our Senior Subordinated Notes offerings. Previously, these costs were deferred in other assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the debt. The new standards require us to reclassify these costs as a reduction of the cost of the debt and to use the effective interest rate method to amortize the costs to operations. As at January 1, 2007, we reclassified $10.3 of unamortized costs from other assets to long-term debt and recorded an adjustment to reflect the balance had we used the effective interest rate method since inception. This resulted in a $1.2 increase in the unamortized costs, a decrease of $0.8 in opening deficit and an increase of $0.4 in deferred income tax liability.

 

(b)       Accounting changes:

 

In January 2007, we adopted CICA Handbook Section 1506, “Accounting changes,” which requires that voluntary changes in accounting policy are made only if the changes result in financial statements that provide more reliable and more relevant information. It also requires prior period errors to be corrected retrospectively. The adoption of this standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements:

 

(i)          Inventories:

 

In June 2007, the CICA issued Section 3031, “Inventories,” which requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The standard also provides guidance on the costs that can be capitalized. In addition, previous inventory write-downs must be reversed if the economic circumstances have changed to support an increased inventory value. The standard is effective for 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

 

(ii)      Financial Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation:

 

In December 2006, the CICA issued Section 3862, Financial Instruments, Disclosures,” and Section 3863, “Financial Instruments, Presentation.”  These standards provide additional guidance on disclosing risks related to recognized and unrecognized financial instruments and how those risks are managed. These standards are effective for 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting these standards on our consolidated financial statements.

2.              Restatement:

 

Deferred income tax recovery

 

The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 have been restated with respect to the accounting for certain deferred income tax benefits.

 

We have determined that the assumptions used in the second quarter to record a non-cash, deferred income tax recovery relating to a tax benefit resulting from a previous year’s write-down of an acquired and subsequently restructured Canadian operation were incorrect. An error in the cost basis for tax purposes of this Canadian acquisition led to the incorrect presumption that a tax benefit could be realized in the second quarter of 2007. Accordingly, we had overstated our deferred income tax recovery, net earnings and earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

The effect of the restatement on the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

3.              Acquisitions and divestitures:

 

As part of the acquisition of Manufacturers’ Services Limited (MSL) in 2004, we recorded liabilities for consolidating some of the acquired MSL sites. We have completed the major components of these restructuring plans except for certain long-term lease and contractual obligations which will be paid out over the remaining lease terms through 2010. Cash outlays are funded from cash on hand. We record the restructuring liability in accrued liabilities.

2006 divestiture:

 

In June 2006, we sold our plastics business for net cash proceeds of $18.5. Our plastics business was located primarily in Asia. During the second quarter of 2006, we reported a loss on sale of $33.2 which we recorded as other charges. This loss included $20.0 in goodwill allocated to the plastics business. As part of the sale agreement, we provided routine indemnities to the purchaser which management believes will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

(a)          In April 2007, we renegotiated the terms of our revolving credit facility and reduced the amount available from $600.0 to $300.0. We also extended the maturity from June 2007 to April 2009. Under the terms of the extension, we have pledged certain assets, including the shares of certain North American subsidiaries, as security.

 

The facility includes a $25.0 swing-line facility that provides for short-term borrowings up to a maximum of seven days. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin, except that borrowings under the swing-line facility bear interest at a base rate plus a margin. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility. Commitment fees for the second quarter of 2007 were $0.7 ($1.5 – first half of 2007).

 

The facility has restrictive covenants relating to debt incurrence and sale of assets and also contains financial covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios. We were in compliance with all covenants at June

 

9



 

30, 2007. Based on the required financial ratios at June 30, 2007, we have approximately $280 of available debt incurrence.

 

We also have uncommitted bank overdraft facilities available for operating requirements which total $47.5 at June 30, 2007. There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities.

 

(b)         In June 2004, we issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011 with an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 and a fixed interest rate of 7.875%. We incurred $12.0 in underwriting commissions and expenses which we deferred and are amortizing over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. The 2011 Notes are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to all our senior debt. We may redeem the 2011 Notes on July 1, 2008 or later at various premiums above face value.

 

In connection with the 2011 Notes offering, we entered into agreements to swap the fixed interest rate with a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a margin. The average interest rate on the 2011 Notes was 8.4% for the second quarter and first half of 2007 (8.0% – second quarter of 2006; 7.8% for the first half of 2006).

 

(c)          In June 2005, we issued Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 with an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 and a fixed interest rate of 7.625%. We incurred $4.2 in underwriting commissions and expenses which we deferred and are amortizing over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. The 2013 Notes are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to all our senior debt. We may redeem the 2013 Notes on July 1, 2009 or later at various premiums above face value.

 

(d)         The prepayment options in the Notes qualify as embedded derivatives which must be bifurcated for reporting under the new standards. As of June 30, 2007, the fair value of the embedded derivative asset is $2.7 and is recorded with long-term debt. The decrease in the fair value of $2.9 for the first half of 2007 is recorded in interest expense on long-term debt. As a result of bifurcating the prepayment option from the Notes, a basis adjustment is added to the amortized cost of the long-term debt. This basis adjustment is amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. This, combined with the change in the fair value of the debt obligation attributable to movement in the benchmark interest rates, resulted in a gain of $6.1 for the first half of 2007, which reduces interest expense on long-term debt.

(a)  2001 to 2004 restructuring:

 

In 2001, we announced a restructuring plan in response to the weak end-markets in the computing and telecommunications industries. In response to the prolonged difficult end-market conditions, we announced a second restructuring plan in July 2002. The weak demand for our manufacturing services resulted in an accelerated move to lower-cost geographies and additional restructuring in the Americas and Europe. In January 2003, we announced further reductions to our manufacturing capacity in Europe. In 2004, we announced plans to further restructure our operations to better align capacity with customers’ requirements.

 

10



 

These restructuring actions were focused on consolidating facilities, reducing the workforce, and transferring programs to lower-cost geographies. The majority of the employees terminated were manufacturing and plant employees. For leased facilities that were no longer used, the lease costs included in the restructuring costs represent future lease payments less estimated sublease recoveries. Adjustments were made to lease and other contractual obligations to reflect incremental cancellation fees paid for terminating certain facility leases and to reflect higher accruals for other leases due to delays in the timing of sublease recoveries and changes in estimated sublease rates, relating principally to facilities in the Americas.

 

We have completed the major components of these restructuring plans, except for certain long-term lease and other contractual obligations, which will be paid out over the remaining lease terms through 2015. Cash outlays are funded from cash on hand. The restructuring liability is recorded in accrued liabilities.

(b)                     2005 to 2007 restructuring:

 

In January 2005, we announced plans to further improve capacity utilization and accelerate margin improvements. These restructuring actions included facility closures and a reduction in workforce, primarily targeting our higher-cost geographies where end-market demand had not recovered to the levels required to achieve sustainable profitability. We expected to complete these restructuring actions by the end of 2006. However, in light of our operating results in 2006 and in the course of preparing our 2007 plan in the fourth quarter of 2006, we identified additional restructuring actions to improve our profitability. These restructuring actions include additional downsizing of workforces to reflect the volume reductions at certain facilities and reducing overhead costs. We expect to complete these restructuring actions by the end of 2007.

 

As of June 30, 2007, we have recorded termination costs related to approximately 7,200 employees, primarily operations and plant employees. Approximately 6,100 of these employees have been terminated as of June 30, 2007 with the balance of the terminations to occur by the end of 2007. Approximately 65% of employee terminations are in the Americas and 35% in Europe.

Cash outlays are and will be funded from cash on hand. The restructuring liability is recorded in accrued liabilities.

 

In September 2006, we sold one of our production facilities in Europe to a third party as part of our restructuring program. In connection with the sale, we provided indemnities to the purchaser which management believes will not have a material adverse impact on our operations, financial position or liquidity. The final post-closing cash was received in the first quarter of 2007. In the first quarter of 2007, we also repaid $4.0 to the purchaser which we were previously holding in escrow.

 

Restructuring summary:

 

We expect to incur restructuring charges of between $20 and $40 in 2007 to complete these restructuring actions. We recorded restructuring charges of $10.5 in the first half of 2007.

 

As of June 30, 2007, we have approximately $4 in assets that are available-for-sale, primarily land and buildings as a result of the restructuring actions we implemented. We have programs underway to sell these assets.

 

(c)                        In 2004, we recorded a write-down in other charges to reduce the net realizable value of certain assets for one customer which ceased operations in 2005. The 2007 amounts are primarily due to additional recoveries realized.

7.                            Stock-based compensation and other stock-based payments:

 

We have granted stock options and performance options as part of our long-term incentive plans. We have applied the fair-value method of accounting for stock option awards granted after January 1, 2003 and, accordingly, have recorded compensation expense. For awards granted in 2002, we have disclosed the pro forma earnings and per share information as if we had accounted for employee stock options under the fair-value method. We are not required to apply the pro forma impact of awards granted prior to January 1, 2002.

 

The estimated fair value of options is amortized to expense over the vesting period, on a straight-line basis, and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

All of the 2002 option grants were fully vested by the end of 2006 and, therefore, do not impact our 2007 pro forma disclosure.

 

Our stock plans are described in note 9 to the 2006 annual consolidated financial statements.

 

8.                            Segment and geographic information:

 

The accounting standards establish the criteria for the disclosure of certain information in the interim and annual financial statements regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

In 2006, we had three reportable operating segments:  Asia, Americas and Europe. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007, we realigned our organizational structure to more effectively manage our operations. We evaluate financial information for purposes of making decisions and assessing financial performance based on the types of services we offer. Our operating segments include electronics manufacturing and global services, which we combined for reporting purposes because our global services segment does not meet the qualitative threshold for separate segment disclosure. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

(i)             The following table indicates revenue by end market as a percentage of total revenue. Our revenue fluctuates from period to period depending on numerous factors, including but not limited to: seasonality of business, the level of business from new and existing customers and disengagement of customers, the level of new program wins or losses, the phasing in or out of programs, and changes in customer demand.

See notes 4 (b) and (c). The interest paid on the 2011 Notes reflect the amounts received or paid relating to the interest rate swap agreements.

 

10.  Derivative financial instruments:

 

We enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks relating to cash flow. At June 30, 2007, we had forward exchange contracts covering various currencies in an aggregate notional amount of $444.3. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of these contracts at June 30, 2007 was a net unrealized gain of $13.4. As of June 30, 2007, $14.3 of derivative assets are recorded in prepaid and other assets, $0.3 of derivative assets are recorded in other assets and $1.2 of derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities relating to our hedges against foreign currency risks.

 

In connection with the issuance of our 2011 Notes in June 2004, we entered into agreements to swap the fixed rate of interest for a variable interest rate. The notional amount of the agreements is $500.0. The agreements mature July 2011. See note 4(b). Payments or receipts under the swap agreements are recorded in interest expense on long-term debt. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2007 was an unrealized loss of $12.5 which is recorded in other long-term liabilities (December 31, 2006 – unrealized loss of $7.9). The change in the fair value of the swap agreements of $4.6 for the first half of 2007 is recorded in interest expense on long-term debt.

12.  Guarantees and contingencies:

 

We have contingent liabilities in the form of letters of credit, letters of guarantee, and surety and performance bonds which we provided to various third parties. These guarantees cover various payments, including customs and excise taxes, utility commitments and certain bank guarantees. At June 30, 2007, these contingent liabilities amounted to $75.7 (December 31, 2006 - $84.9).

 

In addition to the above guarantees, we have also provided routine indemnifications, whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. These may include indemnifications against adverse impacts due to changes in tax laws and patent infringements by third parties. We have also provided indemnifications in connection with the sale of certain businesses and real property. The maximum potential liability from these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. In some cases, we have recourse against other parties to mitigate our risk of loss from these indemnifications. Historically, we have not made significant payments relating to these types of indemnifications.

 

In the normal course of our operations, we are subject to litigation and claims from time to time. We may also be subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims, including environmental, labor, product, customer disputes and other matters. Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded in the accounts where required. Although it is not possible to estimate the extent of potential costs, if any, management believes that the ultimate

 

15



 

resolution of such contingencies will not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

 

In 2007, securities class action litigations were commenced against us, our former Chief Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer, in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York by individuals who claim they are purchasers of our stock, on behalf of themselves and other purchasers of our stock, during a specified time period. The plaintiffs allege violations of United States federal securities laws and seek unspecified damages. They allege that during the purported class period we made statements concerning our actual and anticipated future financial results that failed to disclose certain purportedly adverse information with respect to demand and inventory in our Mexican operations and our information technology and communications divisions. We believe that the allegations are without merit and we intend to defend against them vigorously. However, there can be no assurance that the outcome of the litigation will be favorable to us or will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position or liquidity. In addition, we may incur substantial litigation expenses in defending these claims. We have liability insurance coverage that may cover some of the expense of defending these cases, as well as potential judgments or settlement costs.

 

Income taxes:

 

We are subject to tax audits by local taxing authorities. International taxation authorities could challenge the validity of our inter-company financing and transfer pricing policies which generally involve subjective areas of taxation and a significant degree of judgment. If any of these taxation authorities is successful in challenging our financing or transfer pricing policies, our income tax expense may be adversely affected and we could also be subjected to interest and penalty charges. In connection with ongoing tax audits in the United States, taxing authorities have asserted that our United States subsidiaries owe significant amounts of tax, interest and penalties arising from inter-company transactions. A significant portion of these asserted deficiencies were resolved in favour of the company in the fourth quarter of 2006. We believe we have substantial defenses to the remaining asserted deficiencies and have adequately accrued for any likely potential losses. However, there can be no assurance as to the final resolution of these remaining asserted deficiencies and any resulting proceedings and if these remaining asserted deficiencies and proceedings are determined adversely to us, the amounts we may be required to pay may be material.
