Schneider National, Inc.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we become involved in certain legal matters and investigations including liability claims, taxes other than income taxes, contract disputes, employment, and other litigation matters. We accrue for anticipated costs to resolve matters that are probable and estimable. We believe the outcomes of these matters will not have a material impact on our business or our consolidated financial statements.

We record liabilities for claims against the Company based on our best estimate of expected losses. The primary claims arising for the Company through its trucking, intermodal, and logistics operations consist of accident-related claims for personal injury, collision, and comprehensive compensation, in addition to workers’ compensation, property damage, cargo, and wage and benefit claims. We maintain excess liability insurance with licensed insurance carriers for liability in excess of amounts we self-insure, which serves to largely offset the Company’s liability associated with these claims, with the exception of wage and benefit claims for which we self-insure. We review our accruals periodically to ensure that the aggregate amounts of our accruals are appropriate at any period after consideration of available insurance coverage.

As of December 31, 2025, our firm commitments to purchase transportation equipment totaled $78.2 million.

In June 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement to acquire land located in Chicago, IL for a purchase price of $21.0 million. The transaction closed in January 2026. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no additional material commitments or contingencies related to this purchase.

During 2022, the Company recorded a $5.2 million charge as a result of adverse audit assessments by a state tax authority over the applicability of sales tax for prior periods on rolling stock equipment used within that state. The Company filed a request for appeal of the audit assessment with the state jurisdiction, and during the second quarter of 2023, a ruling was made in favor of the state resulting in an additional $2.9 million in interest and penalties being recorded by the Company to cover all periods audited. The Company filed a petition request with the state Appellate Tax Board in January 2024 covering periods at appeals. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company received an assessment for additional periods audited and filed a request for appeal of the assessment with the state jurisdiction. The adjustment recorded as a result of the audit, including additional interest and penalties, was not material. All assessments and related interest and penalties were recorded within operating supplies and expenses—net on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
