MARKETS

Overview

We are focused on specific target markets which include Semi, Auto/EV, Defense/Aerospace, Industrial, Life Sciences, Safety/Security and Other. Currently, our largest market in terms of annual revenue is Semi.

Semi

The Semi market includes both the broader semiconductor manufacturing industry as well as the front-end and back-end sectors within the broader semiconductor market. The roots of InTest’s engineered product history are in the back-end of Semi in integrated circuit (“IC”) testing. Today, our products and equipment sold into Semi are generally delineated as being part of either specialized wafer manufacturing (“front-end”) or semiconductor ATE (“back-end”). With our induction heating products, we serve the front-end of the semiconductor manufacturing process including silicon carbide crystal growth and epitaxial reactors. A variety of our electronic test and environmental technologies segments’ products are used in the back-end of the semiconductor manufacturing process, which includes the testing of ICs.

IC Testing. Semiconductor manufacturers typically produce ICs in multiples of several hundred or more on a silicon wafer that is later separated or “diced” into individual ICs. Extended leads are then attached to the individual ICs for later connection to other electrical components. In most cases, the ICs are then encapsulated in a plastic, ceramic or other protective housing. These process steps are called “packaging.”

Wafers are tested before being diced and packaged to ensure that only properly functioning ICs are packaged. This testing step has several names, including “front-end test,” “wafer test,” “wafer probe” or “wafer sort.” In front-end testing, an electronic handling device known as a wafer prober automatically positions the wafer under a probe card that is electronically connected to a “test head,” which connects electrically to a test system. During front-end testing, there is a growing trend of thermally conditioning the wafer. Once the good ICs have been identified, they are packaged.

The packaged ICs also require testing, called “back-end test” or “final test,” to determine if they meet design and performance specifications. Packaged ICs are tested after loading into another type of electronic handling device called a “package handler” or “handler,” which then transfers the packaged ICs into a test socket that is attached to the test head. These handlers may be temperature controlled for testing.

A typical test floor of a large semiconductor manufacturer may have 100 test heads and 100 probers or 250 handlers supplied by various vendors for use at any one time. While larger global semiconductor manufacturers typically purchase ATE to test the ICs they manufacture, there are a growing number of semiconductor manufacturers who outsource IC testing to third-party foundries, test and assembly providers.

Test head manipulators, also referred to as positioners, facilitate the movement of the test head to the electronic device handler. Docking hardware mechanically connects the test head to the wafer prober or handler. Tester interface products provide the electrical connection between the test head and the wafer or packaged IC.

Auto/EV

In the Auto/EV market, we provide solutions that help in the quality and productivity of both internal combustion and EV manufacturing and onboard electronics. Our EV solutions include, but are not limited to, induction heating solutions for motor manufacturing, automated test equipment for battery cells, and industrial process chillers and thermal test chambers for inverter and battery testing and automated test solutions for automotive infotainment systems (for EVs, Hybrids and internal combustion engine vehicles) in both production and quality control. We believe there is a strong global growth trend in the continued electronification of vehicles and that our differentiated solutions can be applied to more customers in more geographic regions. Our Auto/EV electronics testing solutions include functional test platforms that address a broad range of test requirements, from wireless communication telematics through automotive infotainment, computer control units and touch displays and instrument clusters.

Defense/Aerospace

In the Defense/Aerospace market, we provide ATE to prime and subcontract manufacturers to ensure quality control is maintained while also providing quicker, more accurate test times of electronic circuit boards. We also provide solutions for thermal testing of equipment to ensure it will function over the specified temperature range. We believe this market is growing, in part, due to recent global political and/or economic instability.

Industrial

The Industrial market is the broadest, most diverse area we serve with a majority of our products serving a variety of applications. Applications for our induction heating products include annealing, bonding, brazing, curing, forging, heat treating, melting and shrink-fitting. Applications for our thermal test and process products include pressure-sensor testing, printed circuit board testing and cold-trap cooling for industrial processes. We believe the trend toward the use of green energy, automation, increased productivity and expanding manufacturing technology present opportunities for us to help our customers solve their complex challenges.

Life Sciences

In the Life Sciences market, we provide image capture products, electronic test systems, and heating systems for medical device manufacturing, as well as equipment for critical applications within the medical cold chain for pharmaceuticals chillers used in chemical extraction and distillation processes.

Safety/Security

In the Safety/Security market, our image capture and data management technologies are used in a broad variety of applications primarily related to safety and monitoring.

Other

Other end markets that we serve include, but are not limited to, specialty consumer electronics products, university research and telecom.

Market Trends

We believe the Semi market, a historically highly cyclical industry, will experience increased growth in the overall size of the market over the next several years as a result of billions of dollars of investments in new fabrication facilities around the world. These investments are being driven by the continued growth of the use of electronics and artificial intelligence, the need for powering an ever-growing number of devices, and the continued economic development of less wealthy nations. We believe the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in geopolitical tensions in recent years have made the high concentration of semiconductor manufacturing in China and Taiwan very apparent to more wealthy nations and has spurred the investment in expansion of this industry in areas outside of these regions. While we believe the Semi market will continue to experience its historical pattern of cyclicality, we expect the effect on our business to be reduced due to our efforts to expand our customer base and the release of new products. Nonetheless, we expect the shifts in demand in the industry from periods of expansion to periods of contraction may be significant, as has been the case for the analog mixed-signal and front-end silicon carbide Semi markets in 2023, 2024, and 2025, when the industry was in a period of slowing growth and overall declines as compared to 2021 and 2022.

We believe that semiconductor manufacturers remain under pressure to maximize production yields and reduce testing costs. At the same time, the growing complexity of ICs has increased the difficulty of maximizing test yields. To address these market trends, we believe semiconductor manufacturers strive for more effective utilization of ATE, smaller test areas and increased wafer level testing which requires our differentiated solutions that include test head manipulators, test head docking stations and test interfaces. As technology advances and ICs become increasingly more complex, we believe the need for increased capabilities in the test process should drive greater demand for our equipment. We expect that more front-end testing is going to be required to ensure maximum yield from the massive capital investments being made in fabrication expansion. We have seen increased U.S. and European defense spending through defense contractors as countries provide more of their own defense. The Safety/Security market is also expected to benefit as a result of this increased defense spending. Industrial continues to be strong for thermal control products and new enhancements, along with new products in Life Sciences.

OUR SOLUTIONS

We focus our development efforts on designing and producing high quality products and highly engineered solutions that deliver superior performance and cost-effectiveness for our customers. We seek to address each manufacturer’s individual needs through innovative and customized designs, use of the best materials available, quality manufacturing practices and personalized service. We design solutions to overcome the evolving challenges facing the Semi market and the other markets that we serve, which we believe provide the following advantages:

Temperature-Controlled Testing - Our ThermoStream® products are used by manufacturers in a number of markets to stress test a variety of semiconductor and electronic components, printed circuit boards and sub-assemblies. Factors motivating manufacturers to use temperature testing include design characterization, failure analysis and quality control, as well as determining performance under extreme operating temperatures, all of which contribute to manufacturing cost savings. Our thermal platforms and temperature chambers, sold under our Sigma Systems product line, can accommodate large thermal masses and are found in both laboratory and production environments. Thermonics®’ products provide a range of precision temperature forcing systems and have been incorporated into Temptronic®’s ATS ThermoStream® product line. The Thermonics® brand is now used to market a family of process chillers for test and industrial applications.

Induction Heating - Our induction heating products are used in process applications where precision-controlled heating is needed. Customers use our induction heating products in conjunction with other technologies in various manufacturing environments to improve production efficiencies and reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. Applications for our EKOHEAT® or EASYHEAT™ induction heating products include annealing, bonding, brazing, curing, forging, heat treating, melting, shrink-fitting, crystal growing, semi-wafer heating and material testing.

Digital Streaming and Image Capturing Solutions - Videology® offers industrial-grade circuit board mounted digital imaging solutions, Zoom Block cameras and complete image capture systems. Videology® also offers OEMs imaging solutions designed to the customers’ specifications and that can interface with the customers’ software.

Scalable, Universal, High Performance ATE Integration Solutions - Our universal test head manipulators provide a high degree of positioning flexibility with a minimum amount of effort. As a result, our products can be used in virtually any test setting. Our manipulator products are designed to accommodate the increased size of test heads and can now support test heads weighing up to 1,200kg. Our docking hardware products offer precise control over the connection to test sockets, probing assemblies and interface boards, reducing downtime and minimizing costly damage to fragile components. Our newest manipulator and docking hardware designs offer automated capabilities that allow for reduced downtime and increased productivity through predictable and repeatable production setup with reduced risk of operator error. Our tester interface products optimize the integrity of the signals transmitted between the test head and the device under test by being virtually transparent to the test signals, which results in increased accuracy of the test data and may thus enable improved test yields. Our interface product offerings have recently been expanded to serve the growing market for testing higher powered devices. A hallmark of our Semi market product offerings has been, and continues to be, compatibility with a wide variety of ATE. Our manipulator and docking hardware products are all designed to be used with otherwise incompatible ATE. We believe this integrated approach to ATE facilitates smooth changeover from one tester to another, longer lives for interface components, better test results, increased ATE utilization and lower overall test costs.

Robotics-Based Electronic Production Test Equipment. Acculogic adds to our electronic test platform offerings beyond those which exclusively serve the Semi market. Acculogic designs and manufactures robotics-based electronic production test equipment and provides application support services which are sold to electronic manufacturers including OEM and contract electronic manufacturers as well as battery manufacturers.

Alfamation designs, builds, and supports a wide range of products, from individual functional test modules to fully automated systems for production quality control and product development. In automotive electronics, these systems are sold to Tier One manufacturers, whose products are delivered to car manufacturers (OEMs).

Worldwide Customer Service and Support. We have long recognized the need to maintain a physical presence near our customers’ facilities. At December 31, 2025, we had manufacturing facilities in the U.S. in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York as well as outside the U.S. in Canada, Germany and Italy. We provided service to our customers from sales and service personnel based in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Our engineers are easily accessible to, and can work directly with, most of our customers from the time we begin developing our initial proposal, through the delivery, installation and use of the product by our customer. In this way, we are able to develop and maintain close relationships with our customers.

As noted above, we have a facility in Penang, Malaysia which supports applications engineering, product development and localized manufacturing for nearly all InTest brands. It serves as the main location in the region for customer product demonstrations, customer service and applications training. This facility began engineering and supply chain operations in the third quarter of 2024 and began limited manufacturing and support operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 with expansion to production of approximately 25% of all ThermoStream® products expected by mid-2026.

OUR SEGMENTS

We have three operating segments, which are also our reportable segments and reporting units: Electronic Test, Environmental Technologies and Process Technologies. All of our operating segments have multiple products that we design, manufacture and market to our customers. Due to a number of factors, our products have varying levels of gross margin. The mix of products we sell in any period is ultimately determined by our customers’ needs. Therefore, the mix of products sold in any given period can change significantly from the prior period. In addition, we sell our products to a variety of different types of customers with varying levels of discounts and commission expense. As a result of changes in both the mix of products sold as well as customer mix in any given period, our consolidated gross margin can vary significantly from period to period.

Our Electronic Test segment consists of (i) InTest EMS which has operations in New Jersey and California, (ii) Acculogic, which has operations in Canada, California and Germany and (iii) Alfamation™, which has operations in Italy and China. Semiconductor manufacturers use our InTest EMS solutions in back-end testing where our mechanical and electrical products serve production testing of wafers and specialized packaged ICs. These ICs include microprocessors, digital signal processing chips, mixed signal devices, micro-electro-mechanical systems (“MEMS”), application specific ICs and specialized memory ICs, and are used primarily in the Auto/EV, consumer electronics, Industrial, and mobile communication markets. Our products are a combination of standard designs based on industry requirements and those designed specifically to meet a customer’s particular combination of ATE. Acculogic’s product offerings include robotics-based electronic test equipment and application support services used primarily in defense/aerospace, automotive, battery, life sciences and electronic manufacturing services industries. Alfamation™’s product offerings include functional test equipment for production quality control and product development.

Our Environmental Technologies segment consists of ITS, which manufactures and sells products under the Temptronic®, Sigma, Thermonics® and North Sciences brand names and has operations in Massachusetts, Germany and Singapore. Customers use the thermal solutions produced by ITS for product development, characterization and production testing. This segment also offers ultra-cold storage solutions for the life sciences cold chain market. Our Environmental Technologies segment provides these solutions across an array of industries including automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences and semiconductor.

Our Process Technologies segment consists of (i) Ambrell® which has operations in New York, the Netherlands and the U.K. and (ii) Videology®, which has operations in Massachusetts. Ambrell® provides customers with induction heating solutions for a wide variety of manufacturing processes. Videology® is a designer, developer and manufacturer of digital streaming and image capturing solutions. Our Process Technologies segment provides these solutions across an array of industries including automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, security and semiconductor.

On February 25, 2025, we notified employees of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Videology Imaging Corporation, of our intention to consolidate all operations in the Netherlands into our facility located in Mansfield, Massachusetts. This plan resulted in the closure of the Netherlands facility and the termination of certain employees at that location. The consolidation of the Netherlands operations was undertaken to increase efficiencies and lower operating costs associated with the current operation of Videology®. The consolidation was substantially completed by the end of 2025 at which point we vacated the Netherlands facility.

As a result of this action, through December 31, 2025, we recognized cash charges for severance and other one-time termination benefits of $0.8 million. While we have substantially completed this action, we expect to incur facility costs on the remaining lease until the earlier of lease termination or expiry of approximately $0.3 million.

Electronic Test Products

Manipulator Products. We provide a range of manipulators, including the Cobal and the LS Series, to accommodate the unique testing needs and test head weights ranging from 115kg to 1,200kg. Our manipulator line includes hinge, universal and probe only manipulators to hold a variety of test heads, enabling operators to easily reposition them for use with any of several probers or handlers on a test floor.

Our manipulator products incorporate a balanced floating-head design. This design permits a test head weighing up to 1,200kg to be held in an effectively weightless state, so it can be moved manually or with optional powered assistance, up or down, right or left, forward or backward and rotated around each axis (known as six degrees of motion freedom) by an operator using a modest amount of force or with a computer controlled pendant. The same design features enable the operator to dock the test head without causing inadvertent damage to the fragile electrical contacts. As a result, after testing a particular production lot of ICs, the operator can quickly and easily disconnect a test head that is held in an InTest manipulator and equipped with our docking hardware and dock it to another electronic device handler for testing either a subsequent lot of the same packaged ICs or to test different ICs. With the LS Series manipulators, the undocking, movement of the test head and redocking can be done automatically through the computer-controlled pendant.

Docking Hardware Products. We offer three lines of docking hardware products: fixed manual docking, AERODOCK™ and INTELLIDOCK™ pin and cup docking. All of our docking hardware products protect the delicate interface contacts and ensure proper repeatable and precise alignment between the test head’s interface board and the prober’s probing assembly or the handler’s test socket as they are brought together, or “docked.” Fixed manual docking includes a mechanical cam mechanism to dock and lock the test head to the prober or handler. AERODOCK™ is a new design in our docking hardware product line, bringing to market a cost-effective, pneumatically driven, active docking system. INTELLIDOCK™ is an automated docking solution that provides operator feedback for each docking step via a touchscreen display, and when coupled with the LS Series manipulator, redeployment of the test head can be done automatically and accurately via the computer pendant. All of our docking hardware products eliminate motion of the test head relative to the prober or handler once docked. This minimizes deterioration of the interface boards, test sockets and probing assemblies that is caused by constant vibration during testing. Our docking hardware products are used primarily with floating-head universal manipulators when maximum mobility and interchangeability of handlers and probers between test heads is required. By using our docking hardware products, semiconductor manufacturers can achieve cost savings through improved ATE utilization, improved accuracy and integrity of test results, optimized floor support and reduced repairs and replacements of expensive ATE interface products.

We believe our docking hardware products offer our customers the ability to make various competing brands of test heads compatible with various brands of probers and handlers by only changing interface boards (“plug-compatibility”). Plug-compatibility enables increased flexibility and utilization of test heads, probers and handlers purchased from various ATE manufacturers. We believe that because we do not compete with ATE manufacturers in the sale of probers, handlers or testers, ATE manufacturers are willing to provide us with the information that is integral to the design of plug-compatible products.

Interface Products. Our tester interface products provide the electrical connections between the tester and the wafer prober or IC handler to carry the electrical signals between the tester and the probe card on the prober or the test socket on the handler. Our designs optimize the integrity of the transmitted signal. Therefore, our tester interfaces can be used with high speed, high frequency, digital or mixed signal testers used in testing more complex ICs. Because our tester interface products enable the tester to provide more reliable yield data, our interfaces may also reduce IC production costs. We design standard and modular interface products to address most possible tester/prober combinations on the market today. In addition, we provide a custom design service that will allow any of our customers to use virtually any tester, prober or handler combination with any type of device, such as analog, digital, mixed signal and radio frequency. For example, our Centaur® modular interface is designed to provide flexibility and scalability through the use of replaceable signal modules which can be easily changed on the test floor as our customers’ testing requirements change.

In addition to the Centaur® modular interface, we also offer over 200 different types of tester interface models that we custom designed for our customers’ specific applications.

Acculogic Scorpion Flying Probe Test Systems. Acculogic designs and manufactures robotics-based electronic test equipment and provides application support services for OEMs, contract electronic manufacturers and battery manufacturers. These systems are used to structurally test an electronic device including printed circuit board assembly (“PCBA”) and battery interconnect test. Structural testing provides confirmation that the device was manufactured properly by confirming circuits are functioning properly. In addition to testing of the basic circuitry of a PCBA, our Acculogic solutions can integrate various functional testing capabilities such as boundary scan and radio frequency measurement to confirm that the device will perform the functions for which it is designed. Acculogic’s Scorpion Flying Probe system can be quickly programmed to test almost any printed circuit board. This programming is done with computer-aided design or design data of the device to be tested. Traditional in-circuit testing systems require a dedicated fixture for each board to be tested. Acculogic’s Flying Probe system can test a virtually unlimited number of boards without any hardware modifications.

Using the flying probe configuration, The STINGRAY Battery Tester employs a set of test heads to measure the electrical resistance of each bond in the battery array. By utilizing the four-wire technique, the tester can perform electrical tests on low-resistance interconnects, even as low as 200uΩ. Each test is completed within milliseconds, ensuring rapid testing of each battery array. The STINGRAY was the first to market a non-contact probe module in 2024. Using advanced magnetic field measurement techniques to assess the interconnect quality without physical contact, this allows for accurate and complete test coverage for both laser-welded and wire bonded interconnects.

CUSTOMERS

We market our products to end users including semiconductor manufacturers, third-party foundries and test and assembly providers, as well as to OEMs, which include ATE manufacturers and their third-party outsource manufacturing partners. We also market our products to independent testers of semiconductors, manufacturers of automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences and security products, semiconductor research facilities, and manufacturers and manufacturing process integrators for a variety of industrial process applications. Our customers use our products principally in production testing or process/manufacturing applications, although our ThermoStream® products traditionally have been used largely in engineering development and quality assurance. We believe that we sell to most of the major semiconductor manufacturers in the world.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, no customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2024, one customer accounted for 13% of our consolidated revenue. This revenue was primarily generated by our Electronic Test segment.

An important aspect of our VISION 2030 includes broadening and diversifying our customer base. We plan to do this both through acquisitions as well as through leveraging current customer relationships, increasing our portfolio of product offerings and expanding our global footprint to better serve existing and new customers. The list of our largest customers in any given period continues to shift as we advance the applications of our technologies, acquire new technologies and grow the business. The loss of any one or more of our largest customers, or a reduction in orders by a major customer, could materially reduce our revenue or otherwise materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY

At December 31, 2025, our principal manufacturing operations consisted of assembly and testing at our facilities in the U.S. (New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey), Canada and Italy. We assemble most of our products from a combination of standard components and custom parts that have been fabricated to our specifications by either third-party manufacturers or our own facilities. Our practice is to use high quality raw materials and components in our products. The primary raw materials used in fabricated parts are widely available. Substantially all of our components are purchased from multiple suppliers; however, certain raw materials and components are sourced from single suppliers, as discussed further in “Part II; Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Global Supply Chain Constraints.” Although, from time to time, certain components may be in short supply due to high demand or inability of vendors to meet quality or delivery requirements, we believe that all materials and components are available in adequate amounts from other sources, except as noted above.

We conduct inspections of incoming raw materials, fabricated parts and components using sophisticated measurement equipment. This includes testing with coordinate measuring machines in all but one of our manufacturing facilities to ensure that products with critical dimensions meet our specifications. We have designed our inspection standards to comply with applicable MIL specifications and ANSI standards.

Each of our Massachusetts, New York, and Canada facilities are ISO 9001:2015 certified. Our New Jersey facility manufactures products only for the semiconductor industry where ISO certification is not required, so we do not maintain any ISO certifications there. However, this location does employ the practices embodied in the ISO 9001:2008.

Our Massachusetts facility is International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) compliant enabling them to support the specific requirement of the U.S. Department of Defense. Our Canadian facility is compliant with the Canadian Controlled Goods Program, enabling them to support the Canadian Department of Defense and this certification also allows the Canadian facility to handle ITAR controlled products vie the ITAR Canadian Exemption.

ENGINEERING AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Our success depends on our ability to provide our customers with products and solutions that are well engineered and to design those products and solutions before, or at least no later than, our competitors. At December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 100 engineers engaged in engineering and product development. In addition, when the demands of engineering and product development projects exceed the capacity or knowledge of our in-house staff, we retain temporary third-party engineering and product development consultants to assist us. Our practice in many cases is to assign engineers to work with specific customers, thereby enabling us to develop the relationships and exchange of information that is most conducive to successful product development and enhancement. In addition, some of our engineers are assigned to new product research and development and have worked on such projects as the development of new types of universal manipulators, the redesign and development of new thermal products and the development of high-performance interfaces.

Since most of our products are customized, we consider substantially all of our engineering activities to be engineering and product development. In the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we spent approximately $9.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, on engineering and product development.

PATENTS AND OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

We intend to protect our technology by filing patent applications for the technologies that we consider important to our business. We also rely on trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and unpatented know-how to protect our proprietary rights.

We believe our intellectual property has value, and we have taken in the past, and will take in the future, actions we deem appropriate to protect such property from misappropriation. There can be no assurance, however, that such actions will provide meaningful protection from competition. In the absence of intellectual property protection, we may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy or imitate our products or processes. For additional information regarding risks related to our intellectual property, see “Part I; Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report.

While we believe that our patents and other proprietary rights are important to our business, we also believe that, due to the rapid pace of technological change in the markets we serve, the successful manufacture and sale of our products also depends upon our engineering, manufacturing, marketing and servicing skills.

It is our practice to require that all of our employees and third-party product development consultants assign to us all rights to inventions or other discoveries relating to our business that were made while working for us. In addition, all employees and third-party product development consultants agree not to disclose any private or confidential information relating to our technology, trade secrets or intellectual property.

At December 31, 2025, we held 24 active U.S. patents and had two pending U.S. patent applications covering various aspects of our technology. Our U.S. patents expire at various times beginning in 2026 and extending through 2039. During 2025, five U.S. patents were issued and two U.S. patents expired. We do not believe that the upcoming expiration of certain of our patents in 2026 will have a material impact on our business. We also hold foreign patents and file foreign patent applications, in selected cases corresponding to our U.S. patents and patent applications, to the extent management deems appropriate.

COMPETITION

We operate in an increasingly competitive environment within all of our operating segments. Some of our competitors have greater financial resources and more extensive design and production capabilities than us. Certain markets in which we operate have become more fragmented, with smaller companies entering the market. These new smaller entrants typically have much lower levels of fixed operating overhead than us, which enables them to be profitable with lower priced products. In order to remain competitive with these and other companies, we must continue to commit a significant portion of our personnel, financial resources, research and development and customer support to developing new products and maintaining customer relationships worldwide.

Our competitors include independent manufacturers, ATE manufacturers and, to a lesser extent, semiconductor manufacturers’ in-house ATE interface groups. Competitive factors in the markets we serve include price, functionality, timely product delivery, customer service, applications support, product performance and reliability. We believe that our long-term relationships with our customers in the various markets we support and our commitment to, and reputation for, providing high quality products, are important elements in our ability to compete effectively in all of our markets. Our digital streaming and image capturing solutions compete in a large space with multiple small competitors. We do not believe that there is a competitor that has over 5% share of the current market.

BACKLOG

At December 31, 2025, our backlog of unfilled orders for all products was $53.9 million compared with $39.5 million at December 31, 2024. Our backlog includes customer orders that we have accepted, substantially all of which we expect to deliver in the next twelve months. While backlog is calculated on the basis of firm purchase orders, a customer may cancel an order or accelerate or postpone currently scheduled delivery dates. Our backlog may be affected by the tendency of customers to rely on short lead times available from suppliers, including us, in periods of depressed demand. In periods of increased demand, there is a tendency towards longer lead times that has the effect of increasing backlog. As a result, our backlog at a particular date is not necessarily indicative of sales for any future period. See also the discussion of backlog in “Part II; Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Results of Operations; Orders and Backlog.”

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2025, we had 407 employees (385 of which were full-time), including 214 based domestically and 193 based outside the U.S. Substantially all of our key employees are highly skilled and trained technical personnel. Only four of our employees (both outside the U.S.) are represented by a labor union, and we have never experienced a work stoppage. From time to time, we retain temporary workers or third-party contractors to assist us in manufacturing operations and engineering and product development projects.
