Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Item 3 . Legal Proceedings
The Company is, from time to time, a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.
The discussion regarding litigation in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Note 20 , Litigation and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report is incorporated herein by reference.
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of the Company's business. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Currently , there are no legal proceeding s or regulatory findings which are both probable that a liability has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated that management believes, either individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.
During July 2024, the
Company received an adverse judicial decision related to withholding taxes on
certain agency relationships in Italy within the Money Transfer Segment, which
the Company has appealed. In January 2025, the Company received a positive
judicial decision in the same court related to the same issue but corresponding
to a different taxable period. The Company completed an assessment and
concluded that it is reasonably possible that a liability has been
incurred, but not probable. The principal amount of the agent-based withholding tax could be approximately $ 16.5 million for all open periods.
