On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to reserves for accounts receivable, customer contract assets and lease receivables; goodwill and other intangible assets; income taxes; inventory valuation; revenue recognition, including product returns and customer contracts with multiple performance obligations; share-based compensation; warranty reserves; self-insurance reserves; fair value measurements; and loss contingencies. We accrue contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.</span></div>
