Commercial Self-Insured Losses

The Company retains a significant portion of the risk for workers' compensation, automobile, and general liability losses ("self-insured commercial liability"). Reserves have been recorded that reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities including claims incurred butnot reported. When a recognized liability is covered bythird-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Amounts estimated to be paid withinone year have been included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, with the remainder included in other liabilities, non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Insurance claims receivables that are expected to be received fromthird-party insurance withinone year have been included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, with the remainder included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes as of* April 30, 2024* and* October 31, 2023* for (1) recorded liabilities, related to both asserted as well as unasserted insurance claims and (2) any related insurance claims receivables:

Washington Department of Revenue Sales Tax Issue

Historically, the Company hasnot charged sales tax to its Washington State customers that provide a reseller certificate, treating this as a wholesale transaction rather than as a retail sale. Effective* April 1, 2020,the state of Washington Department of Revenue ("DOR") published a rule which amended Washington Administrative Code458*-20-211, otherwise known as Rule211, by designating sales of stand-alone concrete pumping services as solely retail transactions. The Company sought to strongly defend its position thatno sales tax should be charged for customers that provide a reseller certificate. As such, for the period from* April 1, 2020through January 31, 2024,the Company didnot* charge sales tax where its customers provide a reseller certificate and petitioned for declaratory relief from the amended rule.

In* February 2023,the Company received an adverse ruling from the Thurston County superior court regarding its position, which it appealed. In February 2024,oral arguments were heard in the Court of Appeals in Tacoma and the Company received an unfavorable judgement during the same month. As of October 31, 2023,no liability had been recorded in connection with this contingency as a loss wasnot deemed probable at that time. However, as a result of the unfavorable judgment in February 2024,the Company concluded loss is probable and therefore recorded a loss of $3.5 million in the quarter ended January 31, 2024.The loss is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for thesix* months ended* April 30, 2024*. During the quarter ended* January 31, 2024,the Company made a payment of $1.8 million to the DOR. Beginning with thesecond* quarter of fiscal year2024, the Company started assessing sales tax related to its customers in the state of Washington.
