Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1.) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Integer Holdings Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Integer” or the “Company”) is a publicly traded corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ITGR.”Integer is a medical device contract development and manufacturing organization primarily serving the cardiac rhythm management, neuromodulation, and cardio and vascular markets. Integer is committed to enhancing the lives of patients worldwide by providing innovative, high-quality products and solutions. The Company’s customers include large multi-national original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and their affiliated subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Integer Holdings Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On September 27, 2024, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Electrochem Solutions, Inc. (“Electrochem”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to Ultralife Corporation (“Ultralife”), and on October 31, 2024, completed the sale.

Electrochem met the criteria to be reported as held for sale and discontinued operations as of September 27, 2024. Because Electrochem was previously a reportable operating segment, the Company concluded the divestiture was a strategic shift in its business. Consequently, the Electrochem business has been reclassified as a discontinued operation.

The assets and liabilities that were transferred in the Electrochem divestiture have been classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023. The results of operations of the Electrochem business have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Intersegment sales to Electrochem that were previously eliminated in consolidation have been treated as third party sales and are included in sales from continuing operations as the Company will continue to supply the Electrochem business with certain specified products following its divestiture. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include cash flows related to the discontinued operations due to Integer’s (parent) centralized treasury and cash management processes. All results and information in the consolidated financial statements, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements, have been updated for all periods presented to exclude information pertaining to discontinued operations, unless otherwise noted specifically as discontinued operations, and reflect only the continuing operations of the Company. Refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for additional information on the Electrochem divestiture.

The divestiture of Electrochem also represents a sale of the Company’s previously reported Non-Medical segment as the Electrochem business constituted substantially all of the assets and liabilities and operations reported in the historical Non-Medical segment, which focused on nonmedical applications for the energy, military and environmental sectors. Under the new organizational and reporting structure, all continuing operations are included inone reportable segment.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company no longer separately presents Refundable income taxes or Income taxes payable in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result, Refundable income taxes and Income taxes payable amounts presented in prior periods were reclassified to Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid, short-term investments with maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less.

  • 64 -

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s sales and accounts receivable are tothree customers, all in the medical device industry, and, as such, the Company is directly affected by the condition of those customers and that industry. However, the credit risk associated with trade receivables is partially mitigated due to the stability of those customers. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. Note 20, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” contains information on sales and accounts receivable for these customers. The Company maintains cash deposits with major banks, which from time to time may exceed insured limits. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its banks.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Provision for Current Expected Credit Losses

The Company provides credit, in the normal course of business, to its customers in the form of trade receivables. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required. The Company maintains a provision for those customer receivables that it does not expect to collect. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, the Company accrues its estimated losses from uncollectable accounts receivable to the provision based upon recent historical experience, the length of time the receivable has been outstanding, other specific information as it becomes available, and reasonable and supportable forecasts not already reflected in the historical loss information. Provisions for current expected credit losses are charged to current operating expenses. Actual losses are charged against the provision when incurred.

Factoring Arrangements

The Company has receivable factoring arrangements, pursuant to which certain receivables may be sold on a non-recourse basis to financial institutions. Transactions under the receivables factoring arrangements are accounted for as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, with the sold receivables removed from the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under these arrangements, the Company does not maintain any beneficial interest in the receivables sold. Once sold, the receivables are no longer available to satisfy creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Sale proceeds are reflected in Cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Factoring fees are recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company sold accounts receivable of $231.0 million and $144.4 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded factoring fees of $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company did not utilize receivable factoring arrangements prior to 2023.

Supplier Financing Arrangements

The Company utilizes supplier financing arrangements with financial institutions to sell certain accounts receivable on a non-recourse basis. These transactions are treated as a sale of, and are accounted for as a reduction to, accounts receivable. The agreements transfer control and risk related to the receivables to the financial institutions. The Company has no continuing involvement in the transferred receivables subsequent to the sale. Fees for supplier financing arrangements are recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company sold and de-recognized accounts receivable of $156.6 million, $139.4 million and $120.7 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded costs associated with the supplier financing arrangements of $2.2 million, $1.8 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the first-in first-out method, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Write-downs for excess, obsolete or expired inventory are based primarily on how long the inventory has been held, historical sales volume, and estimates of forecasted net sales of that product. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for products may result in recording additional write-downs for excess, obsolete or expired inventory in the future. Note 5, “Inventories,” contains additional information on the Company’s inventory.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at inception and classifies it at as finance or operating. The Company has operating and finance leases for office and manufacturing facilities, machinery, computer hardware, office equipment, and vehicles. Short-term finance lease liabilities are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  • 65 -

Lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. When discount rates implicit in leases cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the Company’s recent debt issuances, the Company’s specific credit rating, lease term and the currency in which lease payments are made.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such option. Costs associated with operating leases are recognized within operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized within operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or, in the instance where title does not transfer at the end of the lease term, the lease term. The interest component of a finance lease is included in Interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term. The Company combines lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. For certain leases where rent escalates based upon a change in a financial index, such as the Consumer Price Index, the difference between the rate at lease inception and the subsequent fluctuations in that rate are included in variable lease costs. Additionally, because the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components, variable costs also include payments to the landlord for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses. The Company does not apply the recognition requirements to leases with lease terms of 12 months or less. Note 15, “Leases,” contains additional information on the Company’s leases.

Property, Plant and Equipment (“PP&E”)

PP&E is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: buildings and building improvements 12-30 years; machinery and equipment 3-10 years; office equipment 3-10 years; and leasehold improvements over the remaining lives of the improvements or the lease term, whichever is shorter. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon retirement or sale of an asset, its cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in operating income or expense. The Company also reviews its PP&E for impairment when impairment indicators exist. When impairment indicators exist, the Company determines if the carrying value of its fixed assets exceeds the related undiscounted future cash flows. In cases where the carrying value of the Company's long-lived assets or asset groups (excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value is written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Note 6, “Property, Plant and Equipment, Net,” contains additional information on the Company’s PP&E.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 1 valuations do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 – Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are significant to the overall fair value measurement. The degree of judgment in determining fair value is greatest for Level 3 valuations.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, assumptions are required to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Note 18, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” contains additional information on assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements.

  • 66 -

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Results of operations of acquired companies are included in the Company’s results of operations as of the respective acquisition dates. The purchase price of each acquisition is allocated to the net assets acquired based on estimates of their fair values at the date of the acquisition. Any purchase price in excess of these net assets is recorded as goodwill.

All direct acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and are recognized as a component of Restructuring and other charges. The allocation of purchase price in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

An asset, group of assets, or qualifying business are considered held for sale when they meet all the applicable criteria, including: (i) having the authority to sell, (ii) being available to sell in their present condition, (iii) having an active program to locate buyers, (iv) being actively marketed at current fair value, and (v) considered probable of selling within one year.

Assets and liabilities of a qualifying business are excluded from the net assets of continuing operations, separated in a disposal group and classified as held for sale in the period in which the held for sale criteria was met. Corporate debt is not included as a component of the disposal group, regardless of repayment provisions, and only debt directly attributable to the divested operations may be included as held for sale. Assets and liabilities held for sale are recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less expected cost to sell and any unrecognized other comprehensive loss. The fair value of the assets and liabilities held for sale are based on significant inputs that are unobservable and thus represent Level 3 measurements. Assets held for sale do not experience any subsequent depreciation or amortization after being classified as held for sale. Assets held for sale are reviewed for impairment at least quarterly, and if the carrying amount of the disposal group exceeds the estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized.

The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the business is sold and meets the criteria for being classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale and related to discontinued operations are presented as held for sale for all current and prior periods presented within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of discontinued operations are reported in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the business meets the held for sale criteria, and includes any gain or loss recognized on closing, or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell while being held for sale. Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax includes only direct costs attributable to the divested business and excludes any indirect cost allocation associated with any shared or corporate led functions unless otherwise dedicated to the divested business. Transactions between the businesses held for sale and businesses held for use that are expected to continue to exist after the disposal are not eliminated to appropriately reflect the continuing operations and balances held for sale. Interest costs from corporate debt, excluding loss on extinguishment of debt, may be included as a component of Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax specifically attributable to interest from corporate debt that is obligated to be repaid following the completion of a divestiture; plus the allocation of interest cost from corporate debt not directly attributable to or related to other operations based on the ratio of net assets of the disposal group held for sale to the consolidated net assets plus consolidated debt, excluding debt assumed in transaction, required to be repaid, or directly attributable to other operations of the Company. See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for further details.

Contingent Consideration

In circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments it expects to make as of the acquisition date. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount periods and rates, as well as changes in the timing, amount of, or the likelihood of achieving the applicable performance target. Increases in projected revenues, estimated cash flows and probabilities of payment may result in significantly higher fair value measurements; decreases in these items may have the opposite effect. Increases in the discount rates in periods prior to payment may result in significantly lower fair value measurements and decreases in the discount rates may have the opposite effect.

The contingent consideration fair value measurement is 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 (“Monte Carlo”) valuation model, which involves a simulation of future revenues during the earn out-period using management’s best estimates, or a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis.

  • 67 -

In periods subsequent to the initial measurement, contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value each reporting period until the contingent consideration is settled using various assumptions including estimated revenues (based on internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans), discount rates, revenue volatility and projected payment dates. The current portion of contingent consideration liabilities is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the non-current portion is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are included in Restructuring and other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Note 18, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” contains additional information on contingent consideration recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of a business acquired and is assigned to one or more reporting units. The Company’s reporting unit is the same as its reportable segment. The Company tests the reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment at least annually as of the last day of the fiscal year and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In conducting its goodwill test, the Company either performs a qualitative assessment or a quantitative assessment. A qualitative assessment requires that the Company consider events or circumstances including, but not limited to, macro-economic conditions, market and industry conditions, cost factors, competitive environment, changes in strategy, changes in customers, changes in the Company’s stock price, results of the last impairment test, and the operational stability and the overall financial performance of the reporting unit. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is not performed. The Company may elect to bypass the qualitative analysis and perform a quantitative analysis.

If the qualitative assessment indicates that the quantitative analysis should be performed or if management elects to bypass a qualitative analysis to perform a quantitative analysis, the Company then evaluates goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying value, including the associated goodwill. To determine the fair value, the Company uses a combination of the income approach based on estimated discounted future cash flows and the market approach based on comparable publicly traded companies. The cash flow assumptions consider historical and forecasted revenue, operating costs and other relevant factors.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2024 and determined, after performing a qualitative review of its reporting unit, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount. Accordingly, there was no indication of impairment and the quantitative goodwill impairment test was not performed.

Due to the divestiture of its Non-Medical segment, which also historically represented the Non-Medical reporting unit, the Company considered the goodwill attributable to its Non-Medical reporting unit for impairment at the time the assets and liabilities were reclassified as held-for-sale and concluded there was no indication of impairment as the cash consideration received exceeded the carrying value of the net assets.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets consist of purchased technology and patents, customer lists and trademarks. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on an accelerated or straight-line basis, which approximates the projected cash flows used to determine the fair value of those definite-lived intangible assets at the time of acquisition, as follows: purchased technology and patents 5-20 years; customer lists 7-20 years and other intangible assets 1-20 years. Certain trademark assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not amortized. The Company expenses the costs incurred to renew or extend the term of intangible assets.

The Company reviews its definite-lived intangible assets for impairment when impairment indicators exist. When impairment indicators exist, the Company determines if the carrying value of its definite-lived intangible assets or asset groups exceeds the related undiscounted future cash flows. In cases where the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying value is written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

  • 68 -

The Company assesses its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment periodically to determine if any adverse conditions exist that would indicate impairment or when impairment indicators exist. The Company assesses its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually by comparing the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying value. The fair value is determined using the relief from royalty method, which is based on unobservable, Level 3, inputs.

Refer to Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net,” for further details of the Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets.

Equity Investments

The Company holds long-term, strategic investments in companies to promote business and strategic objectives. These investments are included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equity investments are measured and recorded as follows:

Non-marketable equity securities are equity securities without readily determinable fair value that are measured and recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized within net income. The Company measures the securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes. If an impairment is recognized on the Company’s non-marketable equity securities during the period, these assets are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the fair value inputs.

Equity method investments are equity securities in investees the Company does not control but over which it has the ability to exercise influence. Equity method investments are recorded at cost and are adjusted to recognize (1) the Company’s share, based on percentage ownership or other contractual basis, of the investee’s income or loss, (2) additional contributions made and dividends or other distributions received, and (3) impairments resulting from other-than-temporary declines in fair value.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value or the sale of these equity investments are recorded through Loss on equity investments, net. For some investments, the Company records its share of the investee’s income or loss one quarter in arrears due to the timing of its receipt of such information. The carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable equity securities is adjusted for qualifying observable price changes resulting from the issuance of similar or identical securities by the same issuer. Determining whether an observed transaction is similar to a security within the Company’s portfolio requires judgment based on the rights and preferences of the securities. Recording upward and downward adjustments to the carrying value of the Company’s equity securities as a result of observable price changes requires quantitative assessments of the fair value of these securities using various valuation methodologies and involves the use of estimates.

Non-marketable equity securities and equity method investments (collectively referred to as non-marketable equity investments) are also subject to periodic impairment reviews. The Company’s quarterly impairment analysis considers both qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant impact on the investee’s fair value. Qualitative factors considered include the investee’s financial condition and business outlook, market for technology, operational and financing cash flow activities, technology and regulatory approval progress, and other relevant events and factors affecting the investee. When indicators of impairment exist, quantitative assessments of the fair value of the Company’s non-marketable equity investments are prepared.

To determine the fair value of these investments, the Company uses all pertinent financial information available related to the investees, including financial statements, market participant valuations from recent and proposed equity offerings, and other third-party data. Non-marketable equity securities are tested for impairment using a qualitative model similar to the model used for goodwill and long-lived assets. Upon determining that an impairment may exist, the security’s fair value is calculated and compared to its carrying value and an impairment is recognized immediately if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Equity method investments are subject to periodic impairment reviews using the other-than-temporary impairment model, which considers the severity and duration of a decline in fair value below cost and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery.

The Company has determined that its investments are not considered variable interest entities. The Company’s exposure related to these entities is limited to its recorded investment. These investments are in start-up research and development companies whose fair value is highly subjective in nature and subject to future fluctuations, which could be significant. Refer to Note 18, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information on the Company’s equity investments.

Debt Issuance Costs and Discounts

Debt issuance costs and discounts associated with the issuance of debt by the Company are deferred and amortized over the lives of the related debt. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s issuance of its revolving credit facility are classified within Other long-term assets and amortized to Interest expense on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the revolving credit facility. Debt issuance costs and discounts related to the Company’s term-debt are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the related debt and are amortized to Interest expense using the effective interest method over the period from the date of issuance to the maturity date. Upon prepayment of the related debt, the Company also recognizes a proportionate amount of the costs as extinguishment of debt. Costs treated as extinguishment of debt areexpensed and included in Interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization of debt issuance costs and discounts, and debt extinguishment charges are included in Debt related charges included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Note 9, “Debt,” contains additional information on the Company’s debt issuance costs and discounts.

Income Taxes

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for the expected future tax consequences of net operating losses, credits, and temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined, within each taxing jurisdiction, that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a more likely than not recognition threshold. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. These tax positions are evaluated on a quarterly basis. The Company recognizes interest expense related to uncertain tax positions as Provision for income taxes. Penalties, if incurred, are recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax return. State tax returns are filed on a combined or separate basis depending on the applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the tax returns are filed. The Company also files foreign tax returns on a separate company basis in the countries in which it operates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments in its consolidated financial statements at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it. The Company’s use of derivative instruments is generally limited to cash flow hedges of certain interest rate risks and minimizing foreign currency exposure on foreign currency transactions, which are typically designated in hedging relationships, and intercompany balances, which are not designated as hedging instruments. Under master agreements with the respective counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts, subject to applicable requirements, it has the right of set-off and is allowed to net settle transactions of the same type with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. Foreign currency contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the underlying transaction is recorded in earnings. When the hedged item is realized, gains or losses are reclassified from AOCI to the Consolidated Statement of Operations on the same line item as the underlying transaction. In the event the forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes probable that they will not occur, the Company reclassifies any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings in the respective period. Cash flows related to these derivative financial instruments are included in cash flows from operating activities. Foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging relationships are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of the Company’s revenues consist of sales of various medical devices and products to large, multinational OEMs and their affiliated subsidiaries. The Company considers the customer’s purchase order, which in some cases is governed by a long-term agreement, and the Company’s corresponding sales order acknowledgment as the contract with the customer. The majority of contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less. Consideration payable to customers is included in the transaction price. In accordance with ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period is less than one year.

  • 70 -

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers as performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of the products. Control is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products. The customer obtains control of the products when title and risk of ownership transfers to them, which is primarily based upon shipping terms. Most of the Company’s revenues are recognized at the point in time when the products are shipped to customers. When a contract with a customer relates to products with no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment, including reasonable profit, for performance completed to date throughout the duration of the contract, revenue is recognized over time as control is transferred to the customer. When revenue is recognized over time, the Company uses an input measure to determine progress towards completion and total estimated costs at completion. Under this method, sales and gross profit are recognized generally as actual costs are incurred. Revenue is recognized net of sales tax, value-added taxes and other taxes.

Performance Obligations

The Company assesses whether promises are separate and distinct in the context of the contract. If promises are not separate and distinct, they are aggregated with other promises until they are separate and distinct, resulting in a performance obligation. The Company considers each shipment of an individual product included on a purchase order to be a separate performance obligation because the customer obtains economic benefit as each shipment occurs. Standard payment terms range from 30 to 90 days and may include a discount for early payment.

The Company does not offer its customers a right of return. Rather, the Company warrants that each unit received by the customer will meet the agreed upon technical and quality specifications and requirements. If the units do not meet these requirements, the customer can return the non-compliant units as a corrective action under the warranty. The remedy offered to the customer is repair of the returned units or replacement if repair is not viable. Accordingly, the Company records a warranty reserve and any warranty activities are not considered to be a separate performance obligation.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and less frequently, contract liabilities. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities are recorded when customers pay or are billed in advance of the Company’s satisfaction of its performance obligations. The current portion of contract liabilities is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the non-current portion is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For contracts with customers where revenue is recognized over time, the Company records a contract asset when revenue is earned but not yet billed associated with non-cancellable customer orders. Contract assets are presented as a current asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Transaction Price

Generally, the transaction price of the Company’s contracts consists of a unit price for each individual product included in the contract. The unit price can be fixed or variable based on the number of units ordered. In some instances, the transaction price also includes a rebate for meeting certain volume-based targets over a specified period of time. The transaction price of a contract is determined based on the unit price and the number of units ordered, reduced by the rebate expected to be earned on those units. Rebates are estimated based on the expected achievement of volume-based targets using the most likely amount method and are updated quarterly. Adjustments to these estimates are recognized in the period in which they are identified. When contracts with customers include consideration payable at the beginning of the contract, the transaction price is reduced at the later of when the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related goods to the customer or when the Company pays or promises to pay the consideration. Volume discounts and rebates and other pricing reductions earned by customers are offset against their receivable balances.

The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. As the majority of products sold to customers are manufactured to meet the specific requirements and technical specifications of that customer, the products are considered unique to that customer and the unit price stated in the contract is considered the standalone selling price.

Contract Modifications

Contract modifications, which can include a change in scope, price, or both, most often occur related to contracts that are governed by a long-term arrangement. Contract modifications typically relate to the same products already governed by the long-term arrangement, and therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. If a contract modification adds additional products, it is accounted for as a separate contract.

Environmental Costs

Environmental expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not provide future benefits are expensed as incurred. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments are made, the requirement for remedial efforts is probable and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are recorded generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies. The Company has a process in place to monitor, identify, and assess how the current activities for known exposures are progressing against the recorded liabilities. The process is also designed to identify other potential remediation sites that are not presently known.

The Company continuously evaluates the business and identifies opportunities to realign its resources to better serve its customers and markets, improve operational efficiency and capabilities, and lower its operating costs or improve profitability. To realize the benefits associated with these opportunities, the Company undertakes restructuring-type activities to transform its business. The Company incurs costs associated with these activities, which primarily include exit and disposal costs and other costs directly related to the restructuring initiative. These actions may result in voluntary or involuntary employee termination benefits. Voluntary termination benefits are accrued when an employee accepts the related offer. Involuntary termination benefits are accrued upon the commitment to a termination plan and the benefit arrangement is communicated to affected employees, or when liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable, depending on the existence of a substantive plan for severance or termination. All other exit costs are expensed as incurred. The Company records exit and disposal costs (“restructuring charges”) as incurred in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and are classified within Restructuring and other charges, while other costs directly related to the restructuring initiatives (“restructuring-related charges”) are classified within Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative, and Research, development and engineering expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition, from time to time, the Company incurs costs associated with acquiring and integrating businesses, and certain other general expenses, including asset impairments. The Company classifies costs associated with these items within Restructuring and other charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 12, “Restructuring and Other Charges,” for additional information.

Research, Development and Engineering (“RD&E”)

RD&E costs are expensed as incurred. The primary costs are salary and benefits for personnel, material costs used in development projects and subcontracting costs.

Product Warranties

The Company allows customers to return defective or damaged products for credit, replacement, or repair. The Company warrants that its products will meet customer specifications and will be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The Company accrues its estimated exposure to warranty claims, through Cost of Sales, based upon experience and other specific information as it becomes available. The product warranty liability is classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Adjustments to pre-existing estimated exposure for warranties are made as changes to the obligations become reasonably estimable. The Company’s product warranty liability totaled $1.4 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for its compensation plans. These plans include stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”). For the Company’s PRSUs, in addition to service conditions, the ultimate number of shares to be earned depends on the achievement of targets based on market conditions, such as total shareholder return, or performance conditions based on the Company’s operating results. The Company records forfeitures of equity awards in the period in which they occur.

  • 72 -

The fair value of the stock-based compensation is determined at the grant date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes standard option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) to determine the fair value of stock options. The fair value of each RSU is determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of each PRSU is determined based on either the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant or through a Monte Carlo valuation model for those awards that include a market-based condition. The Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of stock option or PRSU awards, a risk-free interest rate, illiquidity discount and dividend yield.

The Company recognizes compensation expense over the required service or vesting period based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Certain executive stock-based awards contain market, performance and service conditions. Compensation expense for awards with market conditions is recognized over the service period and is not reversed if the market condition is not met. Compensation expense for awards with performance conditions is reassessed each reporting period and recognized based upon the probability that the performance targets will be achieved.

All stock option awards granted under the Company’s compensation plans have an exercise price equal to the closing stock price on the date of grant, aten-year contractual life and generally vest annually over athree-year vesting term. RSUs typically vest in equal annual installments over athree year period. RSUs issued to members of the Company’s Board of Directors as a portion of their annual retainer vest quarterly over aone-year vesting term. Earned PRSUs typically vest three years from the date of grant.

The Company records deferred tax assets for awards that result in deductions on the Company’s income tax returns, based on the amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized and the statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it will receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and the actual tax deduction reported on the income tax return are recorded as a component of Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Note 11, “Stock-Based Compensation,” contains additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company recognizes on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or liability the overfunded or underfunded status of its defined benefit plans provided to its employees located in Mexico and Switzerland. This asset or liability is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets, if any, and the benefit obligation of those plans. For these plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation, which is calculated based on actuarial computations of current and future benefits for employees. Actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period, but are not included as components of net periodic benefit expense, are recognized as a component of AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records the service cost component of net benefit costs in Cost of sales and SG&A expenses. The interest cost component of net benefit costs is recorded in Interest expense and the remaining components of net benefit costs, amortization of net losses and expected return on plan assets, are recorded in Other (income) loss, net.

Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement

The Company translates all assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries, where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency, at the period-end exchange rate and translates income and expenses at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. The net effect of this translation is recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a component of AOCI. Translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to permanent investments in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.

The Company has foreign operations in the Dominican Republic, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Switzerland, and Uruguay, which expose the Company to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations due to transactions denominated in Dominican pesos, Euros, Malaysian ringgits, Mexican pesos, Swiss francs, and Uruguayan pesos. To the extent that monetary assets and liabilities, including short-term and long-term intercompany loans, are recorded in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary, these amounts are remeasured each period at the period-end exchange rate, with the resulting gain or loss being recorded in Other (income) loss, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net foreign currency transaction (gains) losses included in Other (income) loss, net amounted to $3.2 million, $1.0 million and $(1.1) million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and primarily related to the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and the remeasurement of certain intercompany loans.

  • 73 -

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during the period and stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt instruments. The Company's common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the release of RSUs and PRSUs and the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options. The dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt instruments are included in the calculation of diluted EPS under the if-converted method. Note 16, “Earnings Per Share,” contains additional information on the computation of the Company’s EPS.

Comprehensive Income

The Company’s comprehensive income as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, the net change in cash flow hedges, net of tax, and defined benefit plan liability adjustments, net of tax. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Note 17, “Stockholders’ Equity,” contain additional information on the computation of the Company’s comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) and other accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or other authoritative accounting bodies to determine the potential impact they may have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than those discussed below, management does not expect any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Guidance Adopted During the Period

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requiring public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 19, “Segment and Geographic Information,” for further details.

Accounting Guidance to be Adopted in Future Periods

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments. The ASU clarifies the assessment of whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an inducement conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expense and provide more detailed information to investors about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to allow readers of the consolidated financial statements to assess how the Company’s operations, related tax risks and tax planning affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(2.)BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

2024 Acquisition

On January 5, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Pulse Technologies, Inc. (“Pulse”), a privately-held technology, engineering and contract manufacturing company focused on complex micro machining of medical device components for high growth structural heart, heart pump, electrophysiology, leadless pacing, and neuromodulation markets. Based in Pennsylvania, Pulse also provides proprietary advanced technologies, including hierarchical surface restructuring (HSRTM), scratch-free surface finishes, and titanium nitride coatings. Consistent with the Company’s tuck-in acquisition strategy, the acquisition of Pulse further increases the Company’s end-to-end development capabilities and manufacturing footprint in targeted growth markets and provides customers with expanded capabilities, capacity and resources to accelerate the time to market for customer products. The Company funded the purchase price with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

The total consideration transferred was $142.3 million, including contingent consideration, working capital and other purchase price adjustments. The Company recorded contingent consideration with an estimated acquisition date fair value of $3.6 million, representing the Company’s obligation, under the purchase agreement, to make an additional payment of up to $20.0 million based on a specified revenue growth milestone being met in 2025. During 2024 the Company recorded adjustments to the purchase price allocation, inclusive of working capital and other closing adjustments, resulting in decreases to goodwill and current liabilities. Purchase price allocation adjustments recorded during 2024 were not material.

Fair value of net assets acquired
Current assets (excluding inventory)$7,456
Inventory8,612
Property, plant and equipment25,950
Goodwill38,058
Definite-lived intangible assets64,000
Finance lease assets7,964
Current liabilities(1,760)
Finance lease liabilities(7,936)
Fair value of net assets acquired$142,344

The 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.

Current Assets and Liabilities

The fair value of current assets and liabilities, excluding inventory, was assumed to approximate their carrying value as of the acquisition date due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

The fair value of in-process and finished goods inventory acquired was estimated by applying a version of the income approach called the comparable sales method. This approach estimates the fair value of the assets by calculating the potential revenue generated from selling the inventory and subtracting from it the costs related to the completion and sale of that inventory and a reasonable profit allowance for these remaining efforts. Net book value was deemed to be a reasonable proxy for the fair value of raw materials. Based upon this methodology, the Company recorded the inventory acquired at fair value resulting in an increase in inventory of $1.1 million.

Property, Plant and Equipment

The fair value of Property, Plant and Equipment acquired was estimated by applying the cost approach for personal property and leasehold improvements. The cost approach was applied by developing a replacement cost and adjusting for economic depreciation and obsolescence.

Leases

The Company recognized a finance lease liability and finance lease right-of-use asset for a manufacturing facility in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The lease terms were determined to be at-market as of the acquisition date.

  • 75 -

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill resulting from the transaction is primarily attributable to future customer relationships and the assembled workforce of the acquired business. The goodwill acquired in connection with the Pulse acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

Customer lists$48,00020.013.0%
Technology16,00010.013.0%
$64,000

Customer Lists -Customer lists represent the estimated fair value of contractual and non-contractual customer relationships Pulse had as of the acquisition date. These relationships were valued separately from goodwill at the amount that an independent third party would be willing to pay for these relationships. The fair value of customer lists was determined using the multi-period excess-earnings method, a form of the income approach. The estimated useful life of the existing customer base was based upon the historical customer annual attrition rate of 5.0%, as well as management’s understanding of the industry and product life cycles.

Technology -Technology consists of technical processes, patented and unpatented technology, manufacturing know-how, trade secrets and the understanding with respect to products or processes that have been developed by Pulse and that will be leveraged in current and future products. The fair value of technology acquired was determined utilizing the relief from royalty method, a form of the income approach, with a royalty rate of 7.5%. The estimated useful life of the technology is based upon management’s estimate of the product life cycle associated with the technology before it will be replaced by new technologies.

Contingent Consideration -As part of the Pulse acquisition, the Company may be required to pay additional consideration based on a specified revenue growth milestone being met in 2025. Any amounts earned will be payable in 2026. The contingent consideration is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and the fair value is measured based on a Monte Carlo simulation utilizing projections about future performance. Significant inputs include revenue volatility of 11%, a discount rate of 12% and projected financial information. See Note 18, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

2023 Acquisition

Effective as of October 1, 2023, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of InNeuroCo, Inc. (“InNeuroCo”), a privately-held company based in Florida. InNeuroCo was a recognized leader in neurovascular catheter innovation with strong development and manufacturing capabilities. InNeuroCo’s expertise and highly differentiated neurovascular catheter innovation complements the Company’s existing capabilities and market focus. Consistent with the Company’s strategy, the addition of InNeuroCo further increases Integer’s ability to provide enhanced solutions to its customers in the neurovascular catheter space. The Company funded the purchase price with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.

The total consideration transferred was $44.5 million, consisting of an initial cash payment of $43.6 million and $0.9 million in estimated fair value of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligation, under the purchase agreement, to make additional payments of up to $13.5 million based on specified annual revenue growth milestones being met through 2027, and a one-time contingent payment to be made based on cumulative revenue amounts through 2027 exceeding a specified revenue target. See Note 18, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

  • 76 -

The cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. During 2023 and 2024, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments of $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to increase the allocation of the purchase price to certain current assets. These adjustments were based on facts and circumstances that existed, but were not known, as of the acquisition date which resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $3.7 million.

2022 Acquisition

On April 6, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Connemara Biomedical Holdings Teoranta, including its operating subsidiaries Aran Biomedical and Proxy Biomedical (collectively “Aran”), a recognized leader in proprietary medical textiles, high precision biomaterial coverings and coatings as well as advanced metal and polymer braiding. Aran delivers development and manufacturing solutions for implantable medical devices. Consistent with the Company’s strategy, the acquisition of Aran further increases Integer’s ability to offer complete solutions for complex delivery and therapeutic devices in high growth cardiovascular markets such as structural heart, neurovascular, peripheral vascular, and endovascular as well as general surgery. The Company funded the purchase price with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.

The total consideration transferred was $141.3 million, consisting of an initial cash payment of $133.9 million ($129.3 million net of cash acquired) and $7.4 million in estimated fair value of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration represented the estimated fair value of the Company’s obligation, under the purchase agreement, to make additional payments of up to €10 million ($10.9 million at the exchange rate as of April 6, 2022) based on Aran’s achievement of 2022 revenue growth milestones. The earn-out period ended on December 31, 2022 and full payment was made, in accordance with the terms of the share purchase agreement, in April 2023. See Note 18, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information related to the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration.

The unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the realization of potential cost savings, and any related integration costs. Certain costs savings may result from the acquisition; however, there can be no assurance that these cost savings will be achieved. These unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained, or to be a projection of results that may be obtained in the future. These unaudited pro forma results include certain adjustments, primarily due to increases in amortization expense due to the fair value adjustments of intangible assets, the increases to interest expense reflecting the amount borrowed in connection with the acquisition, acquisition related costs and the impact of income taxes on the pro forma adjustments. The impact of discontinued operations have been removed from pro forma sales for each of the periods presented.

From the date of acquisition through the year ended December 31, 2024, sales related to Pulse were $41.7 million. As of the closing date, the Company began to immediately integrate the acquisition into existing operations and management structure of Pulse, making it impracticable to determine the post-acquisition earnings on a standalone basis. From the date of acquisition through the year ended December 31, 2023, sales related to InNeuroCo were $5.2 million, and earnings werenot material. From the date of acquisition through the year ended December 31, 2022, sales related to Aran were $15.1 million, and earnings werenot material.

Divestiture of Electrochem

On September 27, 2024, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Electrochem to Ultralife, and on October 31, 2024, completed the sale, collecting cash proceeds of $48.7 million, which is net of transaction costs and adjustments set forth in the stock purchase agreement. In connection with the sale, the parties executed a customary transition services agreement whereby the Company will provide certain corporate services (including services related to accounting, finance, quality, human resources and information technology) to Ultralife for a period of up to nine months from the date of the closing to facilitate an orderly transfer of business operations. Ultralife will pay Integer for certain of these services, with such payments varying in amount and for different lengths of time as specified in the transition services agreement. Transactions under this agreement were not material during the year ended December 31, 2024.

In connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of discontinued operations of $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is in the process of finalizing the net working capital adjustment with Ultralife as provided for in the stock purchase agreement. The final net working capital adjustment, as determined through the established process outlined in the stock purchase agreement, may be different from the Company’s estimates. The impact of any changes in the net working capital adjustment and associated income taxes will be recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale from discontinued operations in the period such change occurs and may be materially different from the Company’s estimates.

As of December 31, 2024, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities consists of a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a “term A” loan (the “TLA Facility”). In February 2023, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Notes”).

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

Third Amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement

On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the 2021 Credit Agreement. The Third Amendment amended the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement to increase the maximum borrowing capacity of the Company under the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the 2021 Credit Agreement by $300.0 million from $500.0 million to $800.0 million. All other terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement remained unchanged. In connection with the Third Amendment, the Company incurred and capitalized $2.1 million of issuance costs in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt Modifications and Extinguishment. These costs have been recorded as a component of Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 and will be amortized over the remaining term of the 2021 Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 15, 2028. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility of $668.7 million after giving effect to $126.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $5.3 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on the secured overnight financing rate for the applicable interest period plus an adjustment of 0.10% per annum, in relation to any loan in U.S. dollars, and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, in relation to any loan in Euros, plus a margin based on the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement). In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which ranges between 0.15% and 0.25%, depending on the Company’s Secured Net Leverage Ratio. As of December 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.96% and the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was 0.18%.

Term Loan Facilities

The TLA Facility matures on February 15, 2028, and requires quarterly installments. The quarterly principal installments under the TLA Facility increase over the term of the loan. During 2023, the Company prepaid the contractual amounts due on the TLA Facility through the second quarter of 2025. The interest rate terms for the TLA Facility are the same as those above for the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate on the TLA Facility was 5.96%.

2028 Convertible Notes

In February of 2023, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2028 (“2028 Convertible Notes”) in a private offering, which aggregate principal amount included the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $65 million principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes. The 2028 Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of February 3, 2023, by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.

The 2028 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2028 Convertible Notes will mature on February 15, 2028 unless repurchased, redeemed, or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date and do not contain financial maintenance covenants. The 2028 Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 11.4681 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $87.20 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to standard anti-dilutive adjustments and adjustments upon the occurrence of specified events.

The Company may not redeem the 2028 Convertible Notes prior to February 20, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2028 Convertible Notes, at its option, on or after February 20, 2026 and prior to February 15, 2028, if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending not more thantwo trading days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2028 Convertible Notes at their option prior to November 15, 2027, in multiples of $1,000 principal amounts, only under the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ended on March 31, 2023 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

during thefive business day period after anyten consecutive trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the indenture governing the 2028 Convertible Notes) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate in effect on each such trading day;

if the Company calls any or all of the 2028 Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

On or after November 15, 2027 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2028 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

  • 86 -

(9.) DEBT (Continued)

Upon conversion, the 2028 Convertible Notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be converted, and in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes being converted. If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2028 Convertible Notes), subject to certain conditions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2028 Convertible Notes, in principal amounts of $1,000 or a multiple thereof, at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their 2028 Convertible Note in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.

The conditions allowing holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes to convert the 2028 Convertible Notes was met as of June 30, 2024 and, thereafter, continued to be met as of December 31, 2024, in each instance due to the trading price of our common stock exceeding 130% of the 2028 Convertible Notes conversion price on at least 20 out of the 30 consecutive trading days prior to such date. Therefore, the 2028 Convertible Notes became eligible for conversion at the option of the holders beginning on July 1, 2024 and will continue to be eligible for conversion through March 31, 2025. Any determination regarding the convertibility of the 2028 Convertible Notes during future periods will be made in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2028 Convertible Notes. If a conversion request occurs, the Company has the intent and ability to refinance the amounts that may become due with respect to the 2028 Convertible Notes using available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. As such, the obligations associated with the 2028 Convertible Notes continue to be classified as a long-term liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024.

The 2028 Convertible Notes are accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. The discount and issuance costs related to the 2028 Convertible Notes are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the 2028 Convertible Notes at an effective interest rate of 2.76%.

Capped Call Transactions

In connection with the issuance of the 2028 Convertible Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain financial institutions. The Capped Calls are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock in connection with any conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2028 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on strike price of written warrants. The initial upper strike price of the Capped Calls is $108.59 per share and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls.

(10.)BENEFIT PLANS

Savings Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) for its U.S. based employees. The Plan provides for the deferral of employee compensation under Internal Revenue Code §401(k) and a Company match. The Company matches $0.50 per dollar of each participant’s deferral made to the Plan up to 6% of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Service guidelines. Contributions from employees, as well as those matched by the Company, vest immediately. Net costs related to defined contribution plans for 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $10.8 million,$9.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company is required to provide its employees located in Switzerland and Mexico certain statutorily mandated defined benefits. Under these plans, benefits accrue to employees based upon years of service, position, age and compensation. The defined benefit pension plan provided to the Company’s employees located in Switzerland is a funded contributory plan, while the plans that provide benefits to the Company’s employees located in Mexico are unfunded and noncontributory. The assets of the Switzerland plan are held at an AA- rated insurance carrier who bears the pension risk and longevity risk, and will be used to cover the pension liability for the remaining retirees of the Swiss plan, as well as the remaining employees at that location. The liability and corresponding expense related to these benefit plans is based on actuarial computations of current and future benefits for employees. The aggregated projected benefit obligation for these plans was $2.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Net periodic pension cost for 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $0.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Over the next ten years, the Company expects gross benefit payments to be $1.6 million in total for the years 2025 through 2029, and $2.9 million in total for the years 2030 through 2034.

(11.) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Company maintains certain stock-based compensation plans that were approved by the Company’s stockholders and are administered by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”). The stock-based compensation plans provide for the granting of stock options, restricted stock awards, RSUs, performance awards, stock appreciation rights and stock bonuses to employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and service providers.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation plans and agreements include the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2021 Plan replaced the 2016 Plan and the Company ceased granting any new awards under the 2016 Plan. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan was (i)1,450,000 plus (ii) the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, plus (iii) any shares of common stock that are subject to awards forfeited, cancelled, expired, terminated or otherwise lapsed or settled in cash, in whole or in part, without the delivery of shares under the 2016 Plan. The 2011 Plan and 2009 Plan have expired and no awards are available for issuance under these expired plans. As of December 31, 2024, there were 818,109 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan.

For the Company’s PRSUs, in addition to service conditions, the ultimate number of shares earned depends on the achievement of financial or market-based performance conditions. The financial performance condition is based on the Company’s sales. The market conditions are based on the Company’s achievement of a relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance requirement, on a percentile basis, compared to a defined group of peer companies over three year performance periods, or contingent upon achieving specified stock price milestones over afive year performance period.

At December 31, 2024, there was $8.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PRSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years. The fair value of PRSU shares vested during 2024 and 2023 was $19.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. There wereno PRSU shares vested during 2022.

2021 SRA Initiatives - During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company initiated plans to exit certain markets to enhance profitability and reallocate manufacturing capacity needed to support the Company’s overall growth plans. The Company estimates that it will incur a range of pre-tax charges in connection with the 2021 SRA initiatives of approximately $6 million and $7 million, the majority of which are expected to be cash expenditures. Costs related to the Company’s 2021 SRA Initiatives primarily include termination benefits. As of December 31, 2024, total charges incurred since inception were $6.2 million. These actions are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Manufacturing alignment to support growth

The Company’s manufacturing alignment to support growth (“MASG”) initiatives are designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiencies or increase capacity to accommodate growth, which may involve relocation or consolidation of manufacturing operations.

Research and Product Development Alignment – In 2023, the Company commenced an initiative to consolidate certain research and product development operations to more efficiently meet customer needs. The Company will be consolidating existing facilities in Israel and Ireland primarily to a new facility in Ireland. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges in connection with this initiative of between approximately $6 million and $8 million, the majority of which are expected to be cash expenditures. Costs related to the Company’s Research and Product Development Alignment initiative primarily include asset disposal and impairment charges and termination benefits. As of December 31, 2024, total restructuring and restructuring-related charges incurred since inception were $5.4 million. These actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2026.

2022 MASG- In 2022, the Company initiated plans to relocate manufacturing of certain products. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges in connection with the 2022 MASG initiatives of between approximately $5 million and $7 million, the majority of which are expected to be cash expenditures. Costs related to the Company’s 2022 MASG initiative primarily include non-labor costs to relocate equipment and inventory, as well as other costs related to the closure and relocation of certain manufacturing operations. As of December 31, 2024, total restructuring and restructuring-related charges incurred since inception were $2.7 million. These actions are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2026.

The provision for income taxes from continuing operations differs from the U.S. statutory rate for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 due to the following:

2024 · 2023 · 2022
Statutory rate$30,98821.0%$22,13021.0%$14,42221.0%

Other137—1,0351.01,2611.8
Effective tax rate$26,51018.0%$16,23915.4%$8,92913.0%

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate in the current year is primarily attributable to the availability of Foreign Tax Credits, R&D Credits, the impact of the Company’s earnings realized in foreign jurisdictions with statutory rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate, the impact of the OECD Pillar II Global Minimum Tax enacted on January 1, 2024, and the provision for Global Intangible Low Taxed income (“GILTI”), net of the statutory deduction of 50% of the GILTI inclusion and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deduction (collectively “Section 250 deduction”). The Company’s foreign earnings are primarily derived from Switzerland, Mexico, Uruguay, Ireland and Malaysia. The Company has previously operated under a tax holiday in Malaysia, which expired in accordance with its original terms on April 30, 2023. The Company’s manufacturing operations in the Dominican Republic operate under a free trade zone agreement through March 2034.

Difference Attributable to Foreign Investment: Certain foreign subsidiary earnings are subject to U.S. taxation under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Reform Act”) . The Company intends to permanently reinvest substantially all of its foreign subsidiary earnings, as well as its capital in those foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of planned distributions made out of current year earnings and profits (“E&P”) and E&P previously taxed as of and for the year ended December 29, 2017, including E&P subject to the toll charge under the Tax Reform Act. The Company accrues for withholding taxes on distributions in the year associated with earnings that are intended to be distributed.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, within each taxing jurisdiction, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the consideration of the weight of both positive and negative evidence, management has determined it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 related to certain foreign tax credits, state investment tax credits, and foreign and state net operating losses will not be realized.

The Company files annual income tax returns in the U.S., various state and local jurisdictions, and in various foreign jurisdictions. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position, for which the Company has unrecognized tax benefits, is examined and finally settled. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, the Company believes that its unrecognized tax benefits reflect the most probable outcome. The Company adjusts these unrecognized tax benefits, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. The resolution of an uncertain tax position, if recognized, would be recorded as an adjustment to the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate in the period of resolution.

Below is a summary of changes to the unrecognized tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

202420232022
Balance, beginning of year$6,470$7,739$5,537
Additions based upon tax positions related to the current year3533561,364
Additions (reductions) related to prior period tax returns(6)(18)838
Reductions related to settlements (amounts paid)(166)——
Reductions as a result of a lapse of applicable statute of limitations(450)(1,607)—
Balance, end of year$6,201$6,470$7,739

The tax years that remain open and subject to tax audits vary depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company is no longer subject to tax authority examinations in the U.S. for tax years prior to 2021 and is generally no longer subject to tax authority examinations in other major foreign, or state tax jurisdictions for years prior to fiscal year 2020.

It is reasonably possible that a reduction of approximately $4.0 million of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months as a result of the lapse of the statute of limitations and/or audit settlements. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $6.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate (net of federal impact on state issues), if recognized.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of Provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, interest and penalties accrued for unrecognized tax benefits were $1.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.5 million. Expenses related to interest and penalties during 2024, 2023, and 2022 were not material.

On December 15, 2022, the European Union (EU) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two Framework. The EU effective dates are January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. The Company’s 2024 provision for income taxes includes the impact of the Pillar Two 15% Global Minimum Tax, with an enactment date of January 1, 2024. A significant number of other countries are expected to also implement similar legislation with varying effective dates in the future. The Company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact on future periods of the Pillar Two Framework, pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries.

See Note 3, “Discontinued Operations,” for additional information pertaining to income taxes from discontinued operations.

(14.) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contingent Consideration Arrangements

The Company records contingent consideration liabilities related to the earn-out provisions for certain acquisitions. See Note 18, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information.

Litigation

The Company is subject to litigation arising from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. The Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal actions will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. As such, there can be no assurance that any pending legal action will not become material in the future.

Environmental Matters

The Company acquired Lake Region Medical Holdings, Inc. (“LRM”) in 2015. At the direction of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”), LRM has been performing, and has agreed to fund approximately $0.3 million for, environmental investigations of a manufacturing facility LRM owned in South Plainfield, New Jersey from 1971 to 2004, and where it conducted operations from 1971 to 2007. NJDEP required LRM to perform and fund these environmental investigations due to concerns that prior investigations by LRM at the property were inadequate and because NJDEP concluded that the property was a source of local ground water contamination during LRM’s operations, including the Franklin Street Regional Groundwater Contamination Area, which has been designated as an immediate environmental concern by NJDEP. LRM funded the environmental investigation undertaken by NJDEP’s contractor by placing approximately $0.3 million in escrow for the environmental investigation. As of December 31, 2024, approximately $0.2 million had been drawn down from the escrow account by NJDEP to pay for the environmental investigation, and approximately $0.1 million remains in escrow for anticipated future costs associated with the environmental investigation. These environmental investigations may conclude that remediation of the property by LRM, and the reimbursement of costs and damages, including natural resource damages, associated with the groundwater immediate environmental concern, are necessary. Further, the current owner of the property claims to have been financially impacted by LRM’s inadequate environmental investigations. While the Company does not expect this environmental matter will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows, there can be no assurance that this environmental matter will not become material in the future. As of December 31, 2024, there was $0.1 million recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in connection with this environmental matter.

License Agreements

The Company is a party to various license agreements for technology that is utilized in certain of its products. The most significant of these agreements are licenses for basic technology used in the production of filtered feedthroughs and stylets and guidewires. Expenses related to license agreements were $1.2 million, $1.7 million, and $1.5 million, for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are primarily included in Cost of Sales.

Self-Insurance Liabilities

As of December 31, 2024, and at various times in the past, the Company self-funded certain of its workers’ compensation and employee medical and dental expenses. The Company has established reserves to cover these self-insured liabilities and also maintains stop-loss insurance to limit its exposures under these programs. Claims reserves represent accruals for the estimated uninsured portion of reported claims, including adverse development of reported claims, as well as estimates of incurred but not reported claims. Claims incurred but not reported are estimated based on the Company’s historical experience, which is continually monitored, and accruals are adjusted when warranted by changes in facts and circumstances. The Company’s actual experience may be different than its estimates, sometimes significantly. Changes in assumptions, as well as changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change. Insurance and claims expense will vary from period to period based on the severity and frequency of claims incurred in a given period. The Company’s self-insurance reserves totaled $6.2 million and $7.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These accruals are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The dilutive effect for the Company's 2028 Convertible Notes is calculated using the if-converted method. The Company is required, pursuant to the indenture governing the 2028 Convertible Notes, to settle the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes in cash and may elect to settle the remaining conversion obligation (the in-the-money portion) in cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof. Because the principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes must be settled in cash, the dilutive impact of applying the if-converted method is limited to the in-the-money portion, if any, of the 2028 Convertible Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the potential conversion of the 2028 Convertible Notes was not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the conversion feature in the 2028 Convertible Notes was out of the money and all associated shares were antidilutive.

(18.) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Fair value measurement standards apply to certain financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (each reporting period). For the Company, these financial assets and liabilities include its derivative instruments and contingent consideration. The Company does not have any nonfinancial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company is exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and uses derivatives to manage these exposures that occur in the normal course of business. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company expects to reclassify net losses totaling $6.1 million related to its cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings during the next twelve months.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company also has foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in a foreign currency and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. To minimize foreign currency exposure, the Company enters into foreign currency contracts with a one month maturity. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had total gross notional amounts of $33.0 million and $23.0 million, respectively, of foreign currency contracts outstanding that were not designated as hedges. The fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges was not material for any period presented. The Company recorded net gains on foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments of $2.6 million, $0.4 million and $2.6 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in Other (income) loss, net. Each of the foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments will have approximately offsetting effects from the underlying intercompany loans subject to foreign exchange remeasurement.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities

The following table presents the changes in the estimated fair values of the Company’s liabilities for contingent consideration measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
Contingent consideration, beginning of year$876$11,756$2,415
Amount recorded for current year acquisitions3,5788767,375
Fair value measurement adjustments(3,550)(736)3,097
Payments—(11,177)(972)
Foreign currency translation—157(159)
Contingent consideration, end of year$904$876$11,756

The contingent consideration liability of $0.9 million was non-current as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The contingent consideration liability at December 31, 2024 consisted of the estimated fair value of the Company’s remaining obligations, under the purchase agreements for Pulse and InNeuroCo, to make additional payments if certain revenue goals are met. The contingent consideration liability at December 31, 2023 was the estimated fair value of the earnout payments of the InNeuroCo and InoMec Ltd. acquisitions. The contingent consideration liability at December 31, 2022 was the estimated fair value of the earnout payments of the Aran and InoMec Ltd. acquisitions.

The Company will make earnout payments ranging from zero to $20.0 million based on a specified revenue growth milestone being met in 2025 for Pulse and payments ranging from zero to $9.5 million based on the achievement of the remaining defined milestone targets for InNeuroCo.

The significant unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration are projected revenue for the remaining earnout periods. Actual results will differ from the projected results and could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of the contingent considerations.

(18.) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Fair value standards also apply to certain assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.

Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility accrue interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index, selected at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin. The carrying amount of this floating rate debt approximates fair value based upon the respective interest rates adjusting with market rate adjustments.

The estimated fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes was approximately $800 million as of December 31, 2024. The estimated fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes is generally determined through consideration of quoted market prices. To the extent quoted prices are not available, fair values are generally derived using bid/ask spreads. The fair value of the 2028 Convertible Notes are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Total loss on equity investments, net$780$5,691$7,636

During 2024 and 2023, the Company determined that certain investments in its non-marketable equity securities were impaired and determined the fair value to be zero based upon available information. During 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $0.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively. These assessments were based on qualitative indications of impairment which are considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement, as the fair value was determined based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Factors that significantly influenced the determination of the impairment losses included the investee’s financial condition, operational and financing cash flow activities, and priority claims to the equity security, distributions rights and preferences. During 2022, the Company received a cash distribution representing a return of capital on our equity method investments of $0.3 million.

The Company’s equity method investment is in a venture capital fund focused on investing in life sciences companies. As of December 31, 2024, the Company owned 7.7% of this fund.

(21.)SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Precision Acquisition

On January 7, 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of certain subsidiaries of Katahdin Industries, Inc., including its main operating subsidiary, Precision Coating LLC (collectively “Precision”), in an all cash transaction for $152.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, with up to $5.0 million of contingent consideration payable based on achievement of a revenue milestone for 2025. The Company funded the purchase price with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility during the first quarter of 2025.

Prior to the acquisition, Precision was a privately-held manufacturer specializing in high value surface coating technology platforms, including fluoropolymer, anodic coatings, ion treatment solutions and laser processing. Based in Massachusetts, Precision has additional locations in the New England area and an additional facility in Costa Rica. Consistent with the Company’s tuck-in acquisition strategy, the acquisition of Precision increased Integer’s service offerings to include differentiated and proprietary coatings capabilities that position Integer to better meet customers’ evolving needs.

In addition to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company expects to allocate a portion of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets such as developed technology and customer relationships. The initial accounting for this acquisition is not yet complete. The Company expects to complete the initial accounting and determine the preliminary purchase price allocation prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2025. Goodwill arising from the acquisition is tax deductible.

The Company expects to complete the acquisition by the end of February 2025 and intends to fund the cash portion of the purchase price with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.

Headquartered in Colorado, VSi is a privately-held full-service provider of parylene coating solutions, primarily focused on complex medical device applications. Consistent with the Company’s tuck-in acquisition strategy, the acquisition of VSi will further increase the Company’s service offerings to include differentiated and proprietary coatings capabilities that position the Company to better meet customers’ evolving needs.
