1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION

Allient Inc. (“Allient”) or (“The Company”) is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, and selling precision motion, control, power and structural composites to provide integrated system solutions as well as individual products, to a broad spectrum of customers throughout the world primarily for the industrial, vehicle, medical, and aerospace and defense markets.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using end of period exchange rates. Changes in reported amounts of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that occur as a result of changes in exchange rates between the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar are included in foreign currency translation adjustment. Foreign currency translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Revenue and expense transactions use an average rate prevailing during the month of the related transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each of the foreign subsidiaries are included in the results of operations as incurred in other expense, net.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial data for the interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for the year.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

It is suggested that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to such statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was previously filed by the Company.

2.	ACQUISITIONS

On January 11, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of SNC Manufacturing Co., Inc. (a Wisconsin corporation) and Acutran de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (a Mexican corporation), (collectively “SNC”), a premier designer and global manufacturer of electrical transformers serving blue-chip customers in defense, industrial automation, alternative power generation and energy, including electric utilities and renewable energy.

The initial purchase price consisted of $20.0 million in cash paid at closing, subject to customary post-closing working capital adjustments. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments based on a final determination of certain tax matters. Measurement period adjustments to the initial purchase price allocation were made during the second quarter of 2024 that resulted in a decrease of the purchase price of $67 and a corresponding decrease to goodwill for $67. An adjustment was also made to reduce inventory by $100, as well as an adjustment to increase intangible assets by $100.

The Company incurred $300 of transaction costs related to the acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2024, which are included in business development on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income.

The operating results of the acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the date of the acquisition. Revenue of SNC included within the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $9,961 and net income was $1,100 in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenue of SNC included within the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $18,470 and net income was $1,891 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired were determined using one of three valuation approaches: market, income or cost. The selection of a particular method for a given asset depended on the reliability of available data and the nature of the asset, among other considerations. The market approach estimates the value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets. The income approach estimates the value for a subject asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. The projected cash flows were discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the asset and the time value of money. The projected cash flows for each asset considered multiple factors from the perspective of a marketplace participant including revenue projections from existing customers, attrition trends, technology life-cycle assumptions, marginal tax rates and expected profit margins considering historical and expected margins. The cost approach estimates the value for a subject asset based on the cost to replace the asset and reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the asset, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation or obsolescence, with specific consideration given to economic obsolescence if indicated. These fair value measurement approaches are based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions.

The intangible assets acquired consist of $1,500 of customers lists, $600 of trade name, and $800 of technology, which are being amortized over 12, 10, and 10 years, respectively. Goodwill generated is related to the assembled workforce, synergies between Allient’s other operations and SNC that are expected to occur as a result of the combined engineering knowledge, the ability of each of the operations to integrate each other’s products into more fully integrated system solutions, and Allient’s ability to utilize SNC’s management knowledge in providing complementary product offerings to the Company’s customers.

The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not tax deductible.

On September 22, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Sierramotion Inc. (“Sierramotion”), a company headquartered in California, that specializes in designing and engineering turn-key motion components and mechatronic solutions for robotic, medical, industrial, defense, semiconductor, and other precision applications. The preliminary purchase price for Sierramotion of $8.4 million included contingent consideration payable which was paid in the first quarter of 2024 (see Note 12 for breakout of payment) and at closing consisted of a combination of cash and Company stock. The intangible assets and goodwill are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments based on a determination of certain tax matters. Transaction costs for the acquisition were not material. The operating results of this acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date and the revenue and earnings in the current year periods presented are not material.

On January 3, 2024, the final deferred acquisition payment for Spectrum of $12,500 (comprised of 50% cash and 50% Company stock) was paid.

The following pro forma financial information presents the combined resulted of operations if the SNC acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2023 and the Sierramotion acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022:


	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,		June 30,		June 30,		June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Income before income taxes	$	1,599	$	9,115	$	10,989	$	17,934

The pro forma information includes certain adjustments, including depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, and certain other adjustments, together with related income tax effects. The pro forma amounts do not reflect adjustments for anticipated operating efficiencies that the Company expected to or has subsequently achieved as a result of these acquisitions. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what the Company’s results would have been had these transactions occurred on the date presented or to project the combined company’s results of operations or financial position for future periods.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Performance Obligations

The Company considers control of most products to transfer at a single point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally when the products are shipped in accordance with an agreement and/or purchase order. Control is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the product.

The Company satisfies its performance obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods and services in exchange for monetary consideration from the customer. The Company considers the customer’s purchase order, and the Company’s corresponding sales order acknowledgment as the contract with the customer. For some customers, control, and a sale, is transferred at a point in time when the product is delivered to a customer. For a limited number of contracts, for which revenue derived is not material in the periods presented, the Company recognizes revenue over time in proportion to costs incurred.

Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Nature of Goods and Services

The Company designs, manufactures, and sells precision motion, control, power, and structural components to provide integrated system solutions as well as individual products to end customers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEM’s”) through the Company’s own direct sales force and authorized manufacturers’ representatives and distributors. The Company’s products include brushed and brushless DC motors, brushless servo and torque motors, coreless DC motors, integrated brushless motor-drives, gearmotors, gearing, modular digital servo drives, motion controllers, incremental and absolute optical encoders, active and passive filters for power quality and harmonic issues, transformers, and other controlled motion-related products. The Company’s target markets include Industrial, Vehicle, Medical, and Aerospace & Defense.

Determining the Transaction Price

The majority of the Company’s contracts have an original duration of less than one year. For these contracts, the Company applies the practical expedient and therefore does not consider the effects of the time value of money. For multiyear contracts, the Company uses judgment to determine whether there is a significant financing component. These contracts are generally those in which the customer has made an up-front payment. Contracts that management determines to include a significant financing component are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company incurs interest expense and accrues a contract liability. As the Company satisfies performance obligations and recognizes revenue from these contracts, interest expense is recognized simultaneously. Management does not have any contracts that include a significant financing component as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and target markets. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted below in Note 18, Segment Information, the Company’s business consists of one reportable segment. Revenue by geographic region is based on point of shipment origin.

Contract Balances

When the timing of the Company’s delivery of product is different from the timing of the payments made by customers, the Company recognizes either a contract asset (performance precedes customer payment) or a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance). Typically, contracts are paid in arrears and are recognized as receivables after the Company considers whether a significant financing component exists.

The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities are as follows:


	June 30,		December 31,
	2024		2023
Contract liabilities in accrued liabilities	$	2,467	$	2,137
Contract liabilities in other long-term liabilities		2		8
	$	2,469	$	2,145

The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $822 and $3,414, respectively, that was included in the opening contract liabilities balance.

Significant Payment Terms

The Company’s contracts with its customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product or service purchased. Payments are typically due in full within 30-60 days of delivery. Since the customer agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract that do not vary over the contract, the majority of contracts do not contain variable consideration.

Returns, Refunds, and Warranties

In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns and warranties. All contracts include a standard warranty clause to guarantee that the product complies with agreed specifications.

On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2024 Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $280 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The changes made to the Company’s previous credit facility by the 2024 Amended Credit Agreement include: i) providing for a $50 million accordion amount and ii) extending the term from February 12, 2025 to March 1, 2029. Additionally, the Company has entered into a $150 million fixed-rate private shelf facility (the “2024 Note Payable Agreement”) under which $50.0 million of borrowings occurred on March 21, 2024. These agreements, collectively, are referred to as the “2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements”. Pursuant to the 2024 Note Payable Agreement, the Company may from time to time issue and sell, and the borrower may consider in its sole discretion the purchase of, in one or a series of transactions, senior notes of the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million (“Shelf Notes”). The Shelf Notes will have a maturity date of no more than 10.5 years after the date of original issuance and may be issued through March 1, 2027, unless either party terminates such issuance right. Debt issuance costs of $2.4 million were incurred related to the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements and is included within unamortized debt issuance costs noted above.

Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the 2024 Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.50% or the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.50%, in each case depending on the Company’s ratio of Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the 2024 Amended Credit Agreement) to Consolidated EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”). In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.15% and 0.325% quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility, also based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio.

Financial covenants under the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0:1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company’s Leverage Ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter shall not be greater than 4.25:1.0 through December 31, 2024 or greater than 3.75 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter thereafter; provided that the Company may elect to temporarily increase the Leverage Ratio to by 0.5:1.0 following a material acquisition under the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements. The 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements also include covenants and restrictions that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets and enter into transactions with an affiliate of the Company on other than an arms’ length transaction. These covenants, which are described more fully in the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements, to which reference is made for a complete statement of the covenants, are subject to certain exceptions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2024.

The 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements also include customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, if any representation or warranty made by the Company is false or misleading in any material respect, default under certain other indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, the occurrence of certain material judgments, the occurrence of certain ERISA events, the invalidity of the loan documents or a change in control of the Company. The amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility may be accelerated upon certain events of default.

The obligations under the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements are secured by substantially all of the Company’s non-realty assets and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

On March 21, 2024, the Company issued and sold $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Series A Senior Notes due March 21, 2031 (the “Series A Notes”). The Series A Notes were issued pursuant to the 2024 Note Payable Agreement. The Series A Notes represent senior promissory notes of the Company and will bear interest at 5.96% and will mature on March 21, 2031. Interest on the Series A Notes will be payable quarterly on the 21st day of March, June, September and December in each year, commencing on June 21, 2024. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. There are no separate covenants relating to the Series A Notes. All additional borrowings are subject to the leverage ratio compliance. The Series A Notes may be prepaid at the option of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the 2024 Note Payable Agreement, at 100% of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest plus the defined “Make-Whole Amount,” if any. The Make-Whole Amount is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining schedule payments with respect to principal on the Series A Notes being prepaid over the amount of the prepaid principal.

As of June 30, 2024, the unused Revolving Facility was $99,038. The amount available to borrow under the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements may be limited by the Company’s debt and EBITDA levels, which impacts its covenant calculations. There is $164 of deferred financing fees accrued but not paid relating to the Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2024.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, and foreign exchange risk primarily through the use of derivative financial instruments.

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts with 30-day maturities to hedge its short-term balance sheet exposure, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in currencies (Euro, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, Swedish Krona, Canadian Dollar) other than the subsidiary’s functional currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income. To minimize foreign currency exposure, the Company had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $17,089 and $22,193 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a gain of $31 and a loss of $81, respectively, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had losses of $90 and $96, respectively, on foreign currency contracts which is included in other expense, net and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other expense, net.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In March 2020, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $20,000 that increased to $60,000 in March 2022 and matures in December 2024. In March 2022 the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap with a notional amount of $40,000 that matures in December 2026. In March 2023, the Company executed amendments to the existing swaps to amend the index on the interest rate derivatives from LIBOR to SOFR. These amendments had no material financial impact to the Company’s operations or financial position.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2024 and 2023, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company estimates that $2,515 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense over the next twelve months related to its interest rate derivatives. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

12. FAIR VALUE

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value which utilizes observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs.

These two types of inputs create the following three – level fair value hierarchy:

Level 1:

Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model – derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3:

Significant inputs to the valuation model that are unobservable.

(In thousands, except per share data)

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, debt obligations, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

The following tables presents the Company’s financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, by level within the fair value hierarchy:


	June 30, 2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets (liabilities)
Pension plan assets	$	6,120	$	—	$	—
Deferred compensation plan assets		4,416		—		—
Foreign currency hedge contracts, net		—		(50)		—
Interest rate swaps, net		—		3,709		—
Contingent consideration		—		—		(270)


	December 31, 2023
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets (liabilities)
Pension plan assets	$	5,859	$	—	$	—
Deferred compensation plan assets		4,305		—		—
Foreign currency hedge contracts, net		—		54		—
Interest rate swaps, net		—		4,431		—
Contingent consideration		—		—		(7,990)

The contingent consideration fair value measurement represents amounts in connection with the acquisitions of Sierramotion, which had a maximum amount of $2,000 and ALIO Industries (“ALIO”), which does not have a maximum amount. The measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore constitute Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The Company determines the initial fair value of contingent consideration liabilities using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which involves a simulation of future earnings generated during the earn-out period using management’s best estimates, or a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. The contingent consideration for the acquisition of Sierramotion consisted of Company stock and $2,000 was earned and settled in the first quarter of 2024. The contingent consideration of ALIO is settled 50% in Company stock and 50% cash. $5,747 was earned in 2023 and paid out in the first quarter of 2024, consisting of $2,874 in Company stock and $2,873 of cash (of which $2,450 is included in financing activities and the remainder in operating activities on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024). The remaining contingent consideration is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, as the earnout period expires in the fourth quarter of 2024. As of December 31, 2023, contingent consideration of $7,720 is included in accrued liabilities and $270 is included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

13. INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations.

The effective income tax rate was 20.6% and 23.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower due primarily to an increase in the net discrete tax cost/benefit, primarily related to share based awards. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rate was 21.6% and 23.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower due primarily to an increase in the net discrete tax cost/benefit, primarily related to share based awards and the reversal in prior years of uncertain tax positions.

Business Environment

Recent Events

Beginning in 2022 and continuing through 2023 and into 2024, inflation negatively impacted our input costs and pricing, primarily for labor and materials. We, our customers, and our suppliers also experienced the effect of a higher interest rate environment in those periods. Gross domestic product growth slowed throughout 2022 largely due to the widespread impacts of inflation, increasing interest rates, and more restrictive financial conditions. While gross domestic product began to rebound in 2023, the factors contributing to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and global inflation remained persistent into 2023, along with elevated geopolitical instability. There were varying degrees of impact on our customers, and thus our business around the world, with Europe experiencing the greatest amount of stress in 2023 and into 2024.

The current geopolitical conflicts are creating higher levels of economic uncertainty and increased volatility with respect to energy prices, interest rates, our supply chain, and certain customer ordering patterns. We have been closely monitoring the developments and continue to adjust our production platform to react to changing customer ordering patterns and realize efficiencies. The ordering patterns of our aerospace and defense customers have been particularly impacted by changes in sovereign governments priorities and budgets. The impact of the conflicts on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted.

Changing order patterns, supply chain disruptions, and the evolution of our business have required us to carry larger inventories in 2024 and 2023 to meet the needs of our customers, especially as they began to return to a new normal after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the second quarter of 2024, there were more abrupt and larger changes to order patterns as our customers reacted to elevated inventory levels and slowing customer demand. Several customers, particularly in the Vehicle and Industrial markets, reduced demand or pushed out delivery dates for their orders, and we experienced and acceleration of our customers’ actions during the second quarter of 2024.

As the pace of our customers’ actions increased, we recently advanced our “Simplify to Accelerate NOW” strategy. This strategy is being implemented to reduce costs and help create earnings momentum as the Company seeks to enhance efficiency, reduce working capital requirements and strengthen cash flow through realignment and rationalization of our resources.

The Simplify to Accelerate NOW strategy is centered on three high-level strategic initiatives:

1.Realign and right-size the Company’s footprint to better align with its markets and customers. Initiatives are already underway and are expected to continue with earnest throughout 2024 and beyond.

2.Reinforce lean manufacturing disciplines throughout the Company to accelerate margin expansion.

3.Focus on working capital reduction to drive additional cash generation and de-lever the balance sheet.

In the second quarter of 2024, we began to implement the first phase of our Simplify to Accelerate NOW strategy. We executed certain actions that streamline our operations to enhance efficiency as well as drive profitability. Expected cost savings of the first phase of this initiative are anticipated to be approximately $5.0 million annually. As part of this phase, the Company expects to realign production and rationalize our footprint over the course of the second half of 2024. In addition, the Company has implemented reductions to its workforce in many operations throughout the world, to reflect the reduction in sales it is forecasting for the remainder of 2024. The costs associated with this phase are expected to be approximately $1.5 million, primarily related to severance and related expenses.

The Company completed the acquisition of SNC in the first quarter of 2024 and the acquisition of Sierramotion in the third quarter of 2023. These acquisitions are important to executing on the Company’s strategic plan, and we remain focused in the near term on successfully integrating these acquisitions and leveraging the synergies that will be important drivers of our future growth and profitability.

REVENUES: The decrease in revenues during the second quarter 2024 reflects decreases in each of the target markets, most significantly within Vehicle and Industrial markets. Decreases in revenues compared to the prior year period are largely impacted by elevated shipments during the prior year period as supply chains normalized, combined with elevated inventory levels and slowing demand at our customers in the current period, partially offset by revenue contributed from the 2023 and 2024 acquisitions. Our revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was comprised of 52% to U.S. customers and 48% to customers primarily in Europe, Canada, and Asia-Pacific. The overall decrease in revenue was primarily due to volume decreases as foreign currency impact was not significant. The acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2024 contributed an incremental $10,893 of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Organic revenue decreased 14.2% during the second quarter 2024.

ORDER BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG: Bookings remained consistent in the second quarter 2024 compared to 2023, due primarily to a 0.9% increase in volume offset by a 0.6% decrease in foreign currency impact.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS MARGIN: Gross profit decreased to $40,676 in the second quarter of 2024 from $45,977 in the second quarter of 2023 driven by lower sales volume, and gross margins decreased to 29.9% for 2024, compared to 31.3% for 2023. The decrease in gross margin percentage was driven by lower fixed cost absorption on lower sales volumes, as well as the gross margin impact of our most recent acquisition.

SELLING EXPENSES: Selling expenses increased 6% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to increased costs in connection with our recently completed acquisitions. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues were 5% and 4% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses remained consistent during the second quarter 2024 compared to 2023 due primarily to increased costs in connection with our recently completed acquisitions, offset by lower incentive compensation. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 10% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Table of Contents

ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES: Engineering and development expenses increased by 3% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023. The increase is primarily due to the increased costs in connection with our recently completed acquisitions. As a percentage of revenues, engineering and development expenses were 8% and 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Business development costs include acquisition and integration related costs as well as restructuring and business realignment costs. The increase in business development costs in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023 primarily reflects restructuring-related costs associated with our Simplify to Accelrate NOW strategy, which contributed $1,469 of the increase over the prior year period.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Amortization of intangible assets remained consistent compared to the prior year period.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense increased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023 due to higher interest rates and higher average debt balances compared to the prior year period. The increase in interest expense is partially offset by reductions to interest expense realized through our interest rate swaps.

INCOME TAXES: The effective income tax rate was 20.6% and 23.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 is primarily due to the realization of certain deferred income tax assets that had been reserved in prior years, as well as the impact of the mix of foreign and domestic income. The Company expects its income tax rate for the full year 2024 to be approximately 21% to 23%.

NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED NET INCOME: Net income decreased during the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023, primarily relating to lower sales volume, including a decrease in organic revenue, as well as an increase in operating expenses, primarily in business development, relating to the restructuring related costs incurred. Adjusted net income for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $4,857 and $9,471, respectively. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 were $0.29 and $0.58, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. See information included in “Non–GAAP Measures” below for a discussion of the non-GAAP measure and reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA: EBITDA was $11,249 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $18,452 for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $13,931 and $20,381 for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA consists of income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation expense, foreign currency gain/loss and certain other items. Refer to information included in “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a discussion of the non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

REVENUES: The decrease in revenues for the year to date 2024 reflects decreases primarily within Vehicle and Medical markets. Decreases in revenues compared to the prior year period are largely impacted by elevated shipments during the prior year period as supply chains normalized, combined with elevated inventory levels and slowing demand at our customers in the current period, partially offset by revenue contributes from the 2023 and 2024 acquisitions. Our revenues for the period ended June 30, 2024 was comprised of 55% to U.S. customers and 45% to customers primarily in Europe, Canada and Asia-Pacific. The overall decrease in revenue was due to a 3% volume decrease as well as an insignificant unfavorable currency impact. The acquisitions completed in 2023 and 2024 contributed an incremental $20,383 of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Organic revenue decreased 10.1% during the year to date 2024.

ORDER BOOKINGS AND BACKLOG: Orders remained consistent for the year to date 2024 compared to 2023, and included a 0.2% decrease in foreign currency impact as well as a 0.1% decrease in volume.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS MARGIN: Gross profit decreased to $88,053 for year to date 2024 from $91,811 in 2023 driven by lower sales volume, and gross margins decreased to 31.1% for 2024, compared to 31.4% for 2023. The decrease in gross margin percentage was driven by lower fixed cost absorption on lower sales volumes, as well as the gross margin impact of our most recent acquisition.

SELLING EXPENSES: Selling expenses increased 5% during year to date 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to increased costs in connection with our recently completed acquisitions. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenues were comparable at 5% and 4% during year to date 2024 and 2023, respectively.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses decreased by 1% during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 due primarily to a decrease in incentive compensation. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 10% in each of 2024 and 2023.

Table of Contents

ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES: Engineering and development expenses increased by 5% during the year to date 2024 compared to 2023. The increase is due primarily to the inclusion and nature of our recent acquisitions. As a percentage of revenues, engineering and development expenses were 8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COSTS: Business development costs include acquisition and integration related costs as well as restructuring and business realignment costs. The increase in business development costs for year to date 2024 compared to 2023 primarily reflects restructuring-related costs associated with our Simplify to Accelerate NOW strategy, which contributed $1,469 of the increase over the prior year period.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Amortization of intangible assets increased for year to date 2024 compared to 2023 due to incremental intangible amortization attributable to the 2023 and 2024 acquisitions.

INTEREST EXPENSE: Interest expense increased by 10% for the year to date 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to an increase in interest rates, as well as, to a lesser extent, an increase in average debt levels to fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. The increase in interest expense is partially offset in part by interest rate swaps.

INCOME TAXES: For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rate was 21.6% and 23.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 does not include any significant discrete tax benefits or costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the effective tax rate includes a discrete tax benefit of (2.2%), primarily related to the reversal of uncertain tax positions and share-based payment awards.

NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED NET INCOME: Net income decreased during year to date 2024 compared to 2023, primarily relating to lower sales volume, including a decrease in organic revenue, as well as an increase in operating expenses, primarily in business development, relating to the restructuring costs incurred. Adjusted net income for the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $14,403 and $18,405, respectively. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for year to date 2024 and 2023 were $0.87 and $1.14, respectively. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. See information included in “Non–GAAP Measures” below for a discussion of the non-GAAP measure and reconciliation of net income to Adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share to Adjusted diluted earnings per share.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA: EBITDA was $29,843 for year to date 2024 compared to $35,799 for year to date 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $33,971 and $39,406 for year to date 2024 and 2023, respectively. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA consists of income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation expense, foreign currency gain/loss and certain other items. Refer to information included in “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a discussion of the non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Measures

Organic revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are provided for information purposes only and are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Management believes the presentation of these financial measures reflecting non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information to investors and other users of our financial statements in evaluating the operating results of the Company as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results. In particular, those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance, and that are not a helpful measure of the performance of our underlying business particularly in light of their unpredictable nature. These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as analytical tools, should not be viewed as a substitute for revenue and net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. In addition, the supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Organic revenue is reported revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign currency and the revenue contribution from acquisitions.

The Company believes that revenue excluding foreign currency exchange impacts is a useful measure in analyzing sales results. The Company excludes the effect of currency translation from revenue for this measure because currency translation is not fully under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The portion of revenue attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between the current period revenue and the current period revenue after applying foreign exchange rates from the prior period.

Table of Contents

The Company believes EBITDA is often a useful measure of a Company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by the Company’s management to measure the operating performance of the Company’s business because EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our debt financings, acquisitions, as well as our provision for income tax expense. EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in the Company’s industry.

The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides helpful information about the operating performance of its business. Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, as well as business development costs, foreign currency gains/losses on short-term assets and liabilities, and other items that are not indicative of the Company’s core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure for determining operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Management uses Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to assess the Company’s consolidated financial and operating performance. Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are provided for informational purposes only and are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. These measures help management make decisions that are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieving optimal financial performance. Adjusted net income provides management with a measure of financial performance of the Company based on operational factors as it removes the impact of certain non-routine items from the Company’s operating results. Adjusted diluted earnings per share provides management with an indication of how Adjusted net income would be reflected on a per share basis for comparison to the GAAP diluted earnings per share measure. Adjusted net income is a key metric used by senior management and the Company’s board of directors to review the consolidated financial performance of the business. This measure adjusts net income determined in accordance with GAAP to reflect changes in financial results associated with the highlighted expense and income items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity position as measured by cash and cash equivalents decreased by $609 to a balance of $31,292 at June 30, 2024 from December 31, 2023.


					2024 vs.

Of the $31,292 of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024, $26,372 was located at our foreign subsidiaries and may be subject to withholding tax if repatriated back to the U.S.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in cash provided by operating activities is due to collections on accounts receivable, largely offset by increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as well as lower sales.

The increase in cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to $20 million in cash paid for the acquisition of SNC. For the year to date 2024 and 2023, $6,250 of cash was paid relating to the 2022 Spectrum acquisition. Cash used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes $5,328 for purchases of property and equipment compared to

Table of Contents

$6,118 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Capital expenditures are expected to be between $11,000 and $15,000 for the full year 2024.

The increase in cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to borrowings of $20,000 to fund the SNC acquisition. Debt payments of $3,000 were made during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $50,000 Notes issued in March 2024 were used to pay down the Revolving Facility. As of June 30, 2024, we had $180,962 of obligations under the Revolving Facility, excluding deferred financing costs.

As of June 30, 2024, the unused Revolving Facility was $99,038. The amount available to borrow may be limited by our debt and EBITDA levels, which impacts our covenant calculations. The Revolving Facility matures March 1, 2029. The Series A Senior Notes, under the 2024 Note Payable Agreement, are due March 21, 2031.

The Company declared dividends of $0.06 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.055 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s working capital, capital expenditure and dividend requirements are expected to be funded from cash provided by operations and amounts available under the Amended Credit Agreement.

We believe our diverse markets, our strong market position in many of our businesses, and the steps we have taken to strengthen our balance sheet, such as retaining cash to support shorter term needs and amending our revolving credit facility leaves us well-positioned to manage our business. We continually assess our liquidity and cash positions taking geopolitical and other market uncertainties into consideration. Based on our analysis, we believe our existing balances of cash, our currently anticipated operating cash flows, and our available financing under agreements in place will be more than sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign Currency

We have international operations in The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, China, Portugal, Canada, Czech Republic, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand which expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations due to transactions denominated in Euros, Swedish Krona, Chinese Renminbi, Canadian dollar, Czech Krona, Mexican pesos, British Pound Sterling, and New Zealand dollar, respectively. We continuously evaluate our foreign currency risk, and we take action from time to time in order to best mitigate these risks. A hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to our most significant foreign currency exposures would have had an impact of approximately $4,618 on our sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This amount is not indicative of the hypothetical net earnings impact due to partially offsetting impacts on cost of sales and operating expenses in those currencies. We estimate that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations during the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased revenues in comparison to the six months ended June 30, 2023 by $723. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we estimate that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations increased revenue by $485 in 2024 compared to 2023.

We translate all assets and liabilities of our foreign operations, where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency, at the period-end exchange rate and translate sales and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of these translation adjustments is recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements as comprehensive (loss) income. The translation adjustments were a loss of $1,178 and a gain of $426 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the translation adjustments were a loss of $5,586 and a gain of $928, respectively. Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in our foreign subsidiaries. A

Table of Contents

hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to our most significant foreign currency net assets would have had an impact of approximately $16,669 on our foreign net assets as of June 30, 2024.

We have contracts to hedge our short-term balance sheet exposure, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in currencies (Euro, Mexican Peso, New Zealand Dollar, Chinese Renminbi, Swedish Krona) other than the subsidiary’s functional currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss). To minimize foreign currency exposure, the Company had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $17,089 at June 30, 2024. The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a gain of $31 and a loss of $81 on foreign currency contracts which are included in other expense, net and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other expense, net. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses included in other expense, net amounted to a gain of $23 and a loss of $199 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest Rates

The Series A Notes under our 2024 Note Payable Agreement will bear interest at a fixed rate 5.96% and will mature on March 21, 2031. Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly on the 21st day of March, June, September and December in each year, commencing on June 21, 2024. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

Interest rates on our Credit Facility are based on Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.50% (1.875% at June 30, 2024), depending on the Company’s ratio of total funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA. We use interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In March 2020, the Company entered into two interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $20,000 that increased to $60,000 in March 2022 and matures in December 2024. In March 2022 the Company entered into an additional interest rate swap with a notional amount of $40,000 that matures in December 2026.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $180,962 outstanding under the Revolving Facility (excluding deferred financing fees), of which $100,000 is currently being hedged. Refer to Note 10, Debt Obligations, of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information about our outstanding debt. A hypothetical one percentage point (100 basis points) change in the Base Rate on the $80,962 of unhedged floating rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2024 would have approximately a $300 impact on our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on management’s evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
