Liabilities for Loss on Lease Obligations and Related Exit Costs
During the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, we consolidated operations in some of our leased real estate properties and vacated certain leased office spaces. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized additional operating expenses of $10.3 million, of which $4.8 million related to losses on cease-use and $1.3 million resulted from additional expenses related to sublease of certain real estate properties. The remainder was recognized as additional depreciation expense attributable to adjustments to the useful lives of certain leasehold improvements. The expense during the period was allocated to operating expenses in accordance with our overhead allocation. A cease-use loss liability was recorded for the leased office spaces we vacated and was calculated as the present value of the total remaining lease payment obligation offset by estimated sublease rental income, adjusted for deferred items and estimated direct costs to obtain sublease rentals.
Contractual Commitments
Our contractual commitments are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum services to be used, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included. There have been no material changes in our contractual commitments compared to those discussed in Note 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to certain routine legal proceedings, as well as demands and claims that arise in the normal course of our business. We make a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.
We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings that we believe, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition. We may, in the future, be party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims that we allegedly infringe upon third party intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and management resources.
