Current report

•future development and expected growth of our business and industry;

Current report

•the pipeline of opportunities we intend to pursue in our markets, as well as the timing of launch and value of new products;

Current report

The first quarters of 2026 and 2025 ended on April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025, respectively, and consisted of 93 days and 87 days, respectively.

Current report

In 2026, we expect year over year sales growth to be primarily impacted by lower sales related to three new products due to lower than anticipated market adoption. We believe the magnitude of these changes on multiple products at the same time is highly unusual.

Current report

In April 2026, we announced that the Board had initiated a strategic review to maximize stockholder value. We are considering a full range of potential opportunities including, but not limited to, a sale, merger, or strategic business combination as compared to the value creation opportunities from continued execution of the Company’s standalone strategy. There is no deadline or definitive timeline set for the completion of the strategic review, and there can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or other outcome.

Current report

•Sales for the first quarter of 2026 increased $2.2 million when compared to the same period in 2025, driven by higher Cardio & Vascular and Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation sales, partially offset by lower Other Markets.

Current report

•Gross profit for the first quarter of 2026 decreased $10.7 million, primarily by driven by lower fixed cost absorption due to lower production volumes.

Current report

(c)Professional fees were impacted by advisory fees related to a stockholder activist matter. These activist related costs amounted to $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2026. As a result of the previously disclosed cooperation agreement reached with the activist investor in March 2026, we do not anticipate we will incur any further costs related to this matter.

Current report

The decrease in the tax provision was primarily due to an increase in R&D tax credits, an increase in tax benefits associated with realized foreign tax credits, and the impact of the non-recurring 2025 expense associated with the net nondeductible induced conversion expenditures incurred as a result of the induced conversion from the exchange of the 2028 Convertible Notes, partially offset by an increase in global minimum tax (Pillar 2).

Current report

Our effective tax rate for 2026 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due principally to the estimated impact of Federal Tax Credits (including R&D credits and foreign tax credits), and the application of U.S. and foreign international tax rules related to the taxation of global earnings, including Net CFC tested income (“NCTI”), formerly referred to as global intangible low‑tax income (“GILTI”), the deduction associated with foreign‑derived deduction‑eligible income (“FDDEI”), formerly known as foreign‑derived intangible income (“FDII”), and the impact of the OECD’s Pillar Two global minimum tax framework.

Current report

NCTI represents income earned by the Company’s controlled foreign corporations that is subject to current U.S. federal income taxation, after consideration of applicable foreign tax credits. NCTI is treated as a period cost and included in the Company’s income tax provision in the period in which the related foreign earnings arise. The amount of NCTI recognized is influenced by the level and mix of foreign earnings, foreign effective tax rates, and the availability of foreign tax credits.

Current report

FDDEI provides a deduction that reduces U.S. taxable income generated from certain qualifying foreign sales and services. The benefit recognized from FDDEI depends on the level of qualifying income, overall U.S. taxable income, and statutory limitations.

Current report

In January 2026, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) released administrative guidance recognizing the U.S. minimum tax regime and introducing a “side-by-side” package intended to exempt U.S. parented groups from Pillar 2 minimum taxes imposed by foreign jurisdictions on U.S. earnings. Although full adoption of the guidance is expected to eliminate this exposure with respect to the U.S. jurisdiction, laws to implement the framework have not been enacted in all relevant countries. Accordingly, our financial results reflect the laws enacted and in effect as of April 3, 2026.

Current report

Changes in the geographic mix of earnings, foreign income tax rates, the availability of tax credits and deductions, business acquisitions, settlements with taxing authorities, and the continued implementation and interpretation of international tax rules, including NCTI, FDDEI, and Pillar Two, may contribute to volatility in the Company’s effective tax rate in future periods. In addition, we continue to explore tax planning opportunities that may have a material impact on our effective tax rate.

Current report

Refer to Note 9, “Income Taxes,” to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for discussion regarding the Company’s significant tax matters.

Current report

Cash and cash equivalents at April 3, 2026 decreased by $9.0 million from December 31, 2025. Cash generated by operating activities of $24.7 million and proceeds from net borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $65.0 million were primarily offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $24.0 million, $50.0 million of repurchases of common stock, a $14.0 million investment in a convertible debt instrument, and tax withholding payments related to net share settlements of restricted stock unit awards of $9.0 million.

Current report

In February 2023, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes. The 2028 Convertible Notes mature on February 15, 2028 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.125% per annum. In March 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes, the Company used part of the net proceeds therefrom to exchange $383.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes in privately-negotiated transactions. As of April 3, 2026, the remaining aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes was $116.3 million.

Current report

On November 4, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to an aggregate of $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares from time to time on the open market, in privately-negotiated purchases or otherwise. The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date and will continue until otherwise suspended or terminated. We are not obligated to repurchase any dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares and repurchases may be executed at the discretion of management on an opportunistic basis, or pursuant to trading plans or other arrangements. During 2025, we repurchased 698,356 shares of our common stock for a total of $50.0 million.

Current report

On February 19, 2026, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement to repurchase $50.0 million of common stock under the Share Repurchase Program. Under the terms of the ASR Agreement, we paid Bank of America $50.0 million on February 19, 2026 and on that date received initial delivery of 462,535 shares of common stock. On April 2, 2026, Bank of America delivered 127,070 additional shares which completed the ASR Agreement totaling 589,605 repurchased shares. The Company used available cash and borrowings under our credit facility to fund the repurchase of the common shares under the ASR Agreement. As of April 3, 2026, the Company had $100 million of capacity remaining under the Share Repurchase Program.

2030 Convertible Notes Issuance and 2028 Convertible Notes Exchange Transactions

Previous report

On March 18, 2025, we issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 1.875% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”). The total net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes, after deducting initial purchasers' discounts and commissions and debt issuance costs, were $976.1 million. We used $71.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to fund the cost of entering into capped call transactions relating to the 2030 Convertible Notes.

Previous report

We used a portion of the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes to exchange $383.7 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2.125% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Convertible Notes”) for an aggregate cash exchange consideration of $384.4 million in cash and 1,553,806 shares of Common Stock (the “Note Exchange Transactions”). The Note Exchange Transactions were considered an induced conversion and, as a result, we recorded $46.7 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025 in induced conversion expense within Other loss, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Contemporaneously with the Note Exchange Transactions, we terminated a portion of the capped call transactions related to the 2028 Convertible Notes and received 436,963 shares of Common Stock. We allotted the remainder of the net proceeds to pay the down our revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and five-year “term A” loan (the “TLA Facility”).

Previous report

See Note 7, “Debt,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information about these transactions.

Previous report

During 2022, we announced plans to exit our portable medical market (the “Portable Medical Exit”) to enhance profitability and reallocate manufacturing capacity to support growth. Since that time, we have been working closely with impacted customers to support the transition of these products to other suppliers. Due to quality and regulatory requirements, we expected it would take three to four years to complete this transition. The Portable Medical Exit will be completed with the final sales and market exit occurring during the fourth quarter of 2025. Portable Medical sales are included in our Other Markets product line sales.

Previous report

On October 31, 2024, we completed the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary Electrochem Solutions, Inc. (“Electrochem”), which focused on nonmedical applications for the energy, military and environmental sectors. As a result of the Electrochem divestiture, the results of operations of the Electrochem business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Loss from discontinued operations for the third quarters and first nine months of 2025 and 2024 were not material.

Previous report

All results and information presented exclude discontinued operations unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 3, “Discontinued Operations” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this report for additional information on the divestiture of Electrochem and discontinued operations.

Previous report

•Sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 increased $36.3 million and $114.5 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2024, driven by strong demand, new product ramps, growth from emerging customers with PMA (premarket approval) products and contributions from our recent acquisitions.

Previous report

•Gross profit for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 increased $9.6 million and $33.4 million, respectively, primarily from higher sales volume, efficiencies gained from the continued improvement in the supply chain, and contributions from our recent acquisitions.

Previous report

(c)Professional fees increased due to higher legal and consulting fees.

Previous report

During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that one of our investments in non-marketable equity securities was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million. As of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of our non-marketable equity securities was $0.2 million.

Previous report

Other loss, net for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were net losses of $1.1 million and $53.0 million, respectively, compared to net losses of $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024. Other loss, net generally includes gains/losses from the impact of exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, Other loss, net includes $46.7 million of debt conversion inducement expense, which was recognized in the first quarter of 2025, related to the partial exchange of our outstanding 2028 Convertible Notes.

Previous report

We recognized income tax expense of $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2025 on $46.0 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 13.7%), compared to an income tax expense of $7.1 million on $43.4 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 16.4%) for the same period of 2024. The income tax expense for the first nine months of 2025 was $24.4 million on $78.6 million of income before taxes (effective tax rate of 31.0%), compared to income tax expense of $20.2 million on income before taxes of $108.3 million (effective tax rate of 18.7%) for the same period of 2024. Income tax expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 included discrete tax benefits of $2.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The net discrete tax benefits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 relate predominately to favorable return to provision adjustments attributable to the 2024 U.S. tax return. The remainder of the discrete tax benefits relate predominately to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, net of deductibility limitations. Income tax expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 included discrete tax benefits of $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Previous report

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 effective dates are January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. We continue to evaluate the potential impact on future periods of the Pillar Two Framework, pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries. Our 2025 provision for income taxes includes the impact of the Pillar Two 15% Global Minimum Tax.

Previous report

There is a potential for volatility of our effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, business acquisitions, settlements with taxing authorities, changes in tax rates, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, on July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) enacting a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain key domestic and international Tax Cuts & Jobs Act provisions. Only certain provisions will have current-year financial reporting implications due to varying effective dates and discretionary elections. We are currently evaluating the OBBBA and do not anticipate a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements. We also continue to explore tax planning opportunities that may have a material impact on our effective tax rate.

Previous report

Cash and cash equivalents at September 26, 2025 increased by $12.4 million from December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of cash generated by operating activities of $140.7 million, partially offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment of $63.6 million, additional net principal payments of $51.1 million on our Senior Secured Credit Facility and tax withholding payments related to net share settlements of restricted stock unit awards of $16.8 million. The payment of the cash portion of the purchase price payable at closing for acquisitions of each of Precision and VSi were fully funded by borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility. Net proceeds from the issuance of our 2030 Convertible Notes were utilized to purchase capped call options relating to the 2030 Convertible Notes, exchange of a portion of our 2028 Convertible Notes, and pay down our Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility.

Previous report

The increase in net income adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization was primarily from higher sales volume and margin. The decrease associated with changes in operating assets and liabilities is primarily related to an increase in working capital from higher sales volume in the first nine months of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Our effective tax rate for 2025 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% due principally to the impact of the 2028 Convertible Notes Exchange Transactions, including the nondeductible induced conversion expense and reduction of future original issue discount amortization for U.S. income tax. Other items impacting the rate include the estimated impact of Federal Tax Credits (including R&D credits and foreign tax credits), stock-based compensation windfalls, and the impact of U.S taxes on foreign earnings, including the GILTI provision which requires us to include foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of a deemed return on a foreign subsidiary’s tangible assets in our U.S. income tax return. The U.S. tax on foreign earnings is reflected net of a statutory deduction of 50% of the GILTI inclusion (subject to limitations based on U.S. taxable income, if any) and net of FDII that provides a 37.5% deduction to domestic companies for certain foreign sales and services income. In addition, our rate is impacted by earnings realized in foreign jurisdictions with statutory rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The primary foreign jurisdictions in which we operate and the statutory tax rate for each respective jurisdiction include Switzerland (22%), Mexico (30%), Uruguay (25%), Ireland (12.5%) and Malaysia (24%).
