Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by IPG Photonics Corporation, or "IPG", "its" or the "Company". Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company's accounts and those of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Beginning in the current period, the Company revised the categories used to disaggregate revenue by application and by product to better reflect how management evaluates the business. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. These changes had no impact on total revenue or other previously reported condensed consolidated financial statement amounts. See further details in Note 3, "Revenues From Contracts With Customers".

In the opinion of the Company's management, the financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

Subsequent Events — The Company has considered the impact of subsequent events through the filing date of these financial statements. There were no events through the filing date of these financial statements required to be disclosed other than from the Trumpf settlement agreement disclosed within Note 10 "Commitments and Contingencies".

  1. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted Pronouncement — In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"), which provides a practical expedient to apply ASC 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient allows the Company to make a policy election to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining lives of the assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those years. The Company has adopted ASU No. 2025-05 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 and it did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures as a result of the adoption.

Pronouncements Currently Under Evaluation — In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Aggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires more detailed disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)" ("ASU 2025-06"), which updates guidance regarding the requirements to begin capitalizing internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025‑10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities” (“ASU 2025‑10”), which establishes authoritative guidance on the accounting for government grants received by business entities, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. The new standard allows for a number of accounting policy elections to be made upon adoption and be applied to the subsequent grants received on a prospective basis. ASU 2025‑10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025‑11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025‑11”), which improves the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifies when that guidance is applicable. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments can be applied either (1) prospectively or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025‑12, “Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2025‑12”), as part of its ongoing project to enhance the clarity and usability of the FASB Codification. The amendments address a broad range of topics and include technical corrections, clarifications, updates for unintended application issues, and other minor improvements. ASU 2025‑12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

  1. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Sales are derived from products for different applications: lasers, systems, and components are sold into industrial solutions and advanced solutions which includes medical, defense, micromachining, scientific, instrumentation and other advanced solutions.

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company revised its sales by application presentation to better reflect the Company's strategic growth initiatives and provides a clearer separation between the Company's industrial and non-industrial businesses, giving better visibility into the distinct performance and growth profiles of each. Under the revised presentation, sales are presented intwo application categories: Industrial Solutions and Advanced Solutions, and prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. The revised categories substantially correspond to the Company’s historical application categories, with sales previously classified as materials processing generally presented within Industrial Solutions and sales previously classified as other applications generally presented within Advanced Solutions. The only quantitative reclassification in conforming prior-period amounts was the reclassification of micromachining sales from Industrial Solutions to Advanced Solutions, which increased Advanced Solutions sales and decreased Industrial Solutions sales by $7,702, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This presentation change did not affect total sales. The following table presents the disaggregation of revenue under the new application framework:

Three Months Ended March 31,

Sales by Application
Industrial Solutions$227,590$188,016
Advanced Solutions37,90739,777
Total$265,497$227,793

Additionally, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company updated its presentation of sales by product to align with its current product reporting framework. Sales by product are now presented intwo categories: Lasers and Components and Systems, and prior-period amounts have been conformed to the current-period presentation. Under the historical presentation, sales were disaggregated into High Power Continuous Wave (“CW”) Lasers, Medium Power CW Lasers, Pulsed Lasers, Quasi-Continuous Wave (“QCW”) Lasers, Laser and Non-Laser Systems, and Other Revenue including Other Lasers, Amplifiers, Service, Parts, Accessories and Change in Deferred Revenue ("Other Revenue"). Under the updated presentation, the historical non-system laser categories, including High and Medium Power CW, QCW and Pulsed lasers, are included within Lasers and Components, while Laser and Non-Laser Systems is included within Systems. Amounts historically presented within Other Revenue have been allocated between Lasers and Components and Systems based on the nature of the underlying products. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $45,977 and $7,397 of sales previously included in Other Revenue were reclassified to Lasers and Components and Systems, respectively. These presentation changes did not affect total sales. The following table presents revenue disaggregated under the new product framework:

One of the Company's customers accounted for 12% and 11% of the Company's net accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

The Company recognizes revenue over time on contracts for the sale of large scale industrial solutions systems. The timing of customer payments on these contracts generally differs from the timing of revenue recognized. If revenue recognized exceeds customer payments, a contract asset is recorded and if customer payments exceed revenue recognized, a contract liability is recorded. Contract assets are included within prepaid expense and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities are included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain deferred revenues related to extended warranties in excess of one year from the balance sheet date are included within Other long-term liabilities and deferred income taxes on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table reflects the changes in the Company's contract assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and revolving lines of credit.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company classifies its financial instruments according to the prescribed criteria.

The fair value of money market fund deposits, cash equivalent term deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable and drawings on revolving lines of credit is reasonably close to their carrying amounts due to the short maturity of most of these instruments or as a result of the competitive market interest rates, which have been negotiated. The fair value of the Company's commercial paper, corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and agency obligations and term deposits are based on Level 2 inputs.

The following table presents fair value information related to the Company's assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

  1. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Revolving Line of Credit Facilities:

On June 24, 2025, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. which matures on June 24, 2030. The credit agreement provides a $200,000 unsecured, revolving credit facility, of which $25,000 may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. The facility replaced the previous $75,000 U.S. revolving line of credit with a scheduled maturity date of June 30, 2025.

At March 31, 2026, there wereno amounts drawn or guarantees issued on the credit facility. The remaining availability under the new line was $200,000 at March 31, 2026. At December 31, 2025, there wereno amounts drawn or guarantees issued on the credit facility.

Under the credit agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants, which are tested quarterly and include an interest coverage ratio and a net leverage ratio. The interest coverage covenant requires the Company 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 the Company 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 $50,000 up to a maximum of $500,000, to consolidated EBITDA that is less than 3.0 times. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.

In addition to the financial covenants, the Company's credit agreement contains additional customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, invalidity of any loan document, material judgments, bankruptcy and insolvency events and change of control, subject, in certain instances, to cure periods. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may elect to declare amounts outstanding under the credit agreement immediately due and payable.

In addition, the Company maintains euro lines of credit with a total principal amount of €7,400 ($8,513 and $8,687 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively), which are available to certain European subsidiaries. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there wereno amounts drawn on the euro lines of credit, and there were $1,759 and $3,123, respectively, of guarantees issued against the facilities, which reduced the amount of the availability under the facilities.

Additionally, the Company has lines of credit totaling $21,370 in various countries, which are used for the issuance of letters of credit, guarantees, and overdrafts. As of March 31, 2026 guarantees totaling $1,759 were issued against these facilities. As of December 31, 2025, amounts drawn under these facilities totaled $1,059, and guarantees totaling $1,797 were issued against these facilities.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In December 2024, affiliates of Trumpf SE & Co. KG (“Trumpf”) filed patent lawsuits intwo different Unified Patent Courts (UPC) located in Germany against IPG Laser GmbH & Co. KG alleging infringement oftwo patents granted by the European Patent Office by the Company's adjustable mode beam (AMB) lasers. In January 2026, the Company filed a complaint against Trumpf in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement ofone U.S. Patent which covers IPG’s safety‑control electronics invention.

On February 25, 2026 and March 16, 2026, the UPC courts upheld the validity of the Trumpf patents and ruled that the Company’s AMB lasers infringed thetwo patents asserted in the UPC cases. IPG and Trumpf entered into a settlement agreement effective May 1, 2026 under which IPG will make a lump sum payment of $13,500 to Trumpf and license from Trumpf thetwo patents worldwide in exchange for a royalty. Also under the settlement, Trumpf agreed to withdraw the judgments, and the Company agreed to dismiss its complaint against Trumpf in the Texas matter and withdraw challenges to thetwo Trumpf patents.

The settlement provides additional evidence regarding conditions existing as of March 31, 2026 and therefore the Company has accrued the cost to settle these matters in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2026. The cost of the settlement is reflected in Settlement of litigation matters in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, whereas the royalty charges are reflected in Cost of sales.

From time to time, the Company may be involved in legal disputes and other proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These matters may include allegations of infringement of intellectual property, commercial disputes and employment matters. As of March 31, 2026 and through the filing date of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is aware of no additional ongoing legal proceedings that management estimates could have a material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company is self-insured for employee medical benefits in the United States. The employee medical obligations are managed by a third-party provider and the Company has accrued $3,006 and $3,024 related to this arrangement in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. To limit the Company’s potential liabilities for these risks, the Company purchases insurance from a third party that provides stop-loss protection for medical costs in the United States that exceed $225 per person per annum.

The Company provides product warranties on its lasers, laser and non-laser systems, and amplifiers. Refer to Note 8, "Product Warranties" for information related to the Company's warranty accrual.

  1. INCOME TAXES

The Provision for income taxes was a tax benefit of $565 and a tax expense of $6,857, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was a benefit of (55.4)% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This compares to the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of 64.6%.

The decrease in tax expense was due to both a decrease of income before provision for income taxes and an increase in discrete tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded net discrete tax benefits of $1,119, related primarily to equity-based compensation tax deductions in excess of the equity-based compensation expense recognized for financial reporting purposes. This compares to net discrete tax detriment of $4,614 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, related primarily to equity-based compensation expense reflected in financial statement income in excess of the deductions allowed for tax purposes.

The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Balance, beginning of period$15,111$13,855
Change in prior period positions(18)—
Additions for tax positions in current period9155
Foreign currency translation149(192)
Balance, end of period$15,333$13,718

The liability for uncertain tax benefits is included in Other long-term liabilities and deferred income taxes. Substantially all of the liability for uncertain tax benefits related to various federal, state and foreign income tax matters would benefit the Company's effective tax rate if those tax benefits are recognized.

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company operates inone segment which involves the design, development, production and distribution of fiber lasers, laser and non-laser systems, fiber amplifiers, and related optical components. The Company has a single, company-wide management team that administers the enterprise as a whole rather than as discrete operating segments. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company's chief executive officer, also measures financial performance as a single enterprise, and not on geography, legal entity, or end market basis. Throughout the year, the CODM allocates capital resources on a project-by-project basis across the Company's entire asset base, as reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, to maximize profitability without regard to geography, legal entity, or end market basis. The Company operates in a number of countries throughout the world in a variety of product lines. Information regarding product lines and geographic financial information is provided in Note 3, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."

The CODM primarily utilizes "Net income" as well as "Net income per common share” included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the key indicators in assessing the enterprise’s performance and allocating resources. In evaluating Net income, the CODM also reviews gross profit as well the Company's income before foreign exchange and other segment items to set and evaluate performance targets.
