Current report
In 2025, we increased spending in multiple areas to support our strategic initiatives and growth. Operating expenses rose as we hired additional executives and managers to strengthen management capabilities. We also invested in several key areas, including:
Current report
•software enhancements to improve the seamless integration of products and components to drive their ease of use and functionality;
Current report
•component and product cost reductions to improve profitability;
Current report
•new product development for medical, advanced and micromachining; and
Current report
•sales and marketing to better service our customers, improve the customer experience and our new product introductions.

To set the foundation for growth, we expect such spending to remain at current or at increased levels.
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R. 1 "A bill to provide for reconciliation pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14", commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. Changes in tax laws may affect recorded deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and our effective tax rate in the future. We are currently evaluating the impacts that new legislation will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Current report
Net sales. Net sales decreased by $31.2 million, or 6.1% to $478.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $509.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Current report
Materials processing
Current report
Materials processing sales accounted for 85.3% of total revenue and decreased 9.8% year over year, as a result of lower sales in cutting and welding applications, partially offset by higher revenue in micromachining, cleaning, mainly attributable to the cleanLASER acquisition and additive manufacturing applications. Other applications sales increased 22.7% year over year driven by higher revenue in advanced applications and medical procedures. The decrease in sales was also driven by a divestiture in the third quarter of 2024, resulting in a decrease of $22.3 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Current report
Cost of sales and gross margin. Cost of sales decreased by $20.8 million, or 6.6%, to $295.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $315.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our gross margin increased to 38.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 38.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin increased mainly driven by a decrease of unabsorbed manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher product costs driven by mix, and import duties driven by tariffs, as a percentage of sales.
Current report
Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense increased by $4.5 million, or 9.9%, to $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to higher personnel and related expenses and depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by lower premises expenses. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expense increased to 10.4% from 8.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
Research and development expense. Research and development expense increased by $1.4 million, or 2.5%, to $58.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $56.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to higher personnel and related expenses, partially offset by lower lease expense. As a percentage of sales, research and development expense increased to 12.2% from 11.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense increased by $4.9 million, or 7.8%, to $67.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $62.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of higher personnel and related expenses and contingent compensation expense, partially offset by lower premises and legal expense. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense increased to 14.1% from 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes was $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was 45.1% for thesix months ended June 30, 2025. This compares to the effective tax rate of 24.5% for thesix months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in tax expense was primarily due to a decrease of income before provision for income taxes for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to thesix months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by a discrete tax detriment for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 of $4.9 million tax primarily related to the increase in tax expense for equity-based compensation. This compares to a discrete tax detriment of $1,912 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related primarily to equity-based compensation expense reflected in financial statement income in excess of the deductions allowed for tax purposes, which was partially offset by a decrease in uncertain tax positions due to the conclusion of tax audits.

Belarusian Operations. We manufacture laser cabinets and other mechanical components in Belarus. In response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the EU issued additional sanctions impacting commerce with Belarus on June 29, 2024, which restricted the supply of laser cabinets and other mechanical components from our factory in Belarus to our Germany operations after October 2, 2024. As a result of the sanctions and their impact on our Belarus operations, we completed an impairment analysis of our Belarus assets during the third quarter of 2024 and recorded $26.6 million of impairment of long-lived asset in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At March 31, 2025, the remaining value of the long-lived assets in Belarus was $4.0 million. Net working capital excluding cash was $0.4 million and cash on hand was $2.2 million. The net asset value of our Belarus subsidiary has been reduced by $17.8 million due to the cumulative translation effect of the Belarusian ruble compared to the U.S. dollar, which is included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of stockholders' equity. We may incur additional asset impairment charges related to the Belarus operations and the other comprehensive loss that is currently in the equity section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets could be charged to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Our business depends substantially upon capital expenditures by end users, particularly by manufacturers using our products for materials processing, which includes general manufacturing, automotive including electric vehicles ("EV"), other transportation, aerospace, heavy industry, consumer, semiconductor and electronics. Approximately 86% of our revenues for the first quarter of 2025, and 88% for the full fiscal year of 2024 were from customers using our products for materials processing. Although applications within materials processing are broad, the capital equipment market in general is cyclical and historically has experienced sudden and severe downturns. For the foreseeable future, our operations will continue to depend upon capital expenditures by end users of materials processing equipment and will be subject to the broader fluctuations of capital equipment spending.

Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make significant judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance at many points during the analysis. Also, the process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective. We operate in a highly competitive environment and projections of future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from actual results. If our analysis indicates potential impairment to goodwill in one or more of our reporting units, we may be required to record charges to earnings in our financial statements, which could negatively affect our results of operations.

Major customers. While we have historically depended on a few customers for a large percentage of our annual net sales, the composition of this group can change from period to period. Net sales derived from our five largest customers as a percentage of our net sales was 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 13%, and 13% for the full years 2024 and 2023, respectively. One of our customers accounted for 16% and 12% of our net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We seek to add new customers and to expand our relationships with existing customers. We anticipate that the composition of our significant customers will continue to change. We generally do not enter into agreements with our customers obligating them to purchase a fixed number or large volume of our products. If any of our significant customers substantially reduced their purchases from us, our results would be adversely affected.

At March 31, 2025, our committed credit line is with Bank of America N.A. in the amount of $75.0 million, which is not syndicated. On April 4, 2025, we amended the U.S. revolving line of credit with Bank of America N.A., extending its maturity through June 2025. We are in the process of negotiating a new credit facility. We are required to meet certain financial covenants associated with this credit line. These covenants, tested quarterly, include an interest coverage ratio and a funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio. The interest coverage covenant requires that we maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio of EBITDA to interest on all obligations that is at least 3.0:1.0. The funded debt to EBITDA covenant requires that the sum of all indebtedness for borrowed money on a consolidated basis be less than three times our trailing twelve months EBITDA. Funded debt is decreased by our cash and available marketable securities not classified as long-term investments in the U.S.A. in excess of $50 million up to a maximum of $500 million. We were in compliance with all such financial covenants as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The interest coverage covenant requires we maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense on all obligations that is at least 3.0 times. The net leverage covenant requires we maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio, which is the sum of all indebtedness for borrowed money on a consolidated basis, less cash and available marketable securities not classified as long-term investments in the U.S. in excess of $50 million up to a maximum of $500 million, to consolidated EBITDA that is less than 3.0 times.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $41.2 million to $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $54.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in cash used by working capital and a decrease in cash provided by net income after adding back non-cash expenses. Our largest working capital items typically are inventory and accounts receivable. Items such as accounts payable to third parties, prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities are not as significant as our working capital investment in accounts receivable and inventory because of the amount of value added within IPG due to our vertically integrated structure. Accruals and payables for personnel costs including bonuses and income and other taxes payable are largely dependent on the timing of payments for those items. The decrease in cash flow from operating activities in first quarter of 2025 when compared to the first quarter of 2024 primarily resulted from:

Effect of exchange rates on net sales, gross profit and operating expenses. We estimate that, if exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had been the same as the comparable six-month period one year ago, which were on average euro 0.93, Japanese yen 152 and Chinese yuan 7.20, respectively, we would have expected net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to be $1.1 million higher, gross profit to be $0.7 million higher and total sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses would have been $0.2 million higher.

Loss on foreign exchange. We incurred a foreign exchange transaction loss of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a loss of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our European subsidiaries have certain net assets denominated in U.S. dollars, and our Chinese subsidiary has certain net liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to loss from the appreciation of the euro, as compared to the U.S. dollar.
