To save many more millions of dollars in legal costs than settling would cost. It is very common that a very large company will settle out of court, whether guilty or not, just to save time and money.
Also, a long and drawn-out legal battle does more to shred a company's reputation - even when innocent (you know how the press is), than a settlement.
