Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are defendants in lawsuits that are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to our business and operations. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to us. We believe that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and, where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly, we believe the likelihood of material loss is remote. In the future, such costs could have a materially greater impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial position than in the past.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
