Pro-forma statements

The following table contains an unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, as if the Marble and AJR acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the nine-month periods and as if the Welch and AQF acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the three- and nine-month periods (in thousands):

The above unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had both acquisitions occurred as presented. In addition, future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in such pro forma information.

In conjunction with the acquisition of AQF, the Company became 50% owners of the equity interest in AQF Asia PTE Ltd., located in Singapore (“AQF Asia”). While the Company owns 50% of the equity interest of AQF Asia and does have significant influence over the entity, the Company has concluded that it does not have control of AQF Asia due to certain “veto rights” held by the “other” joint venture partner with regards to management decision making.

As a result, the Company accounts for its ownership interest in AQF Asia following the equity method of accounting, in accordance with ASC 323, Investments —Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Under this method, the carrying cost is initially recorded at fair value and then increased or decreased by recording its percentage of gain or loss in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and a corresponding change to the carrying value of the asset.

The initial fair value of this equity method investment was approximately $5.6 million. The Company’s 50% share of AQF Asia’s net earnings during the third quarter of 2024 was not material.

The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of a promised good or service. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the core principles of ASC 606 which include (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying separate performance obligations within the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue. The Company recognizes all but an immaterial portion of its product sales upon shipment. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of tooling and machinery primarily upon customer acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue from engineering services, which are primarily product development services, as the services are performed or as otherwise determined based on the substance of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue from bill-and-hold transactions at the time the specified goods are complete and available to the customer.

Standard payment terms are net 30 days unless contract terms state otherwise. When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. We do not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when we perform our obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. In the ordinary course of business, the Company accepts sales returns from customers for defective goods, such amounts being immaterial. Although only applicable to an insignificant number of transactions, the Company has elected to exclude sales taxes from the transaction price. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities for which the Company is responsible under the terms and conditions of the sale not as performance obligations but rather as fulfillment costs. These activities are required to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods and are expensed when revenue is recognized. Variable consideration to be included in the transaction price is estimated using either the expected value method or the most likely method based on facts and circumstances. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. The Company has elected to not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations, as the Company’s contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less, or revenue has been recognized at the amount for which the Company has the right to invoice for engineering services performed.

Disaggregated Revenue

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by the major types of goods and services sold to the Company’s customers (in thousands) (See Note 13 for further information regarding net sales by market):

Contract balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. When invoicing occurs prior to revenue recognition, the Company has contract liabilities included within “deferred revenue” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents a roll-forward of contract liabilities activity for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Revenue recognized during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period were approximately $3.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

When invoicing occurs after revenue recognition, the Company has contract assets, included within “receivables, net” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents opening and closing balances of contract assets for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Supplemental cash flow information consists of the following (in thousands):

Receivables consist of the following (in thousands):

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions, and a review of the status of customers' trade accounts receivable. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on the aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written-off when determined to be uncollectible. Estimates based on an assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current, and future information that is reasonably available are used to determine the allowance.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, or disclosed at fair value in the footnotes, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels defined by ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

Level 1

Valued based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2

Valued based on either directly or indirectly observable prices for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3

Valued based on management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels, for financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

In connection with the acquisitions of Welch and Marble in 2024, and DAS Medical in 2021, the Company is required to make contingent payments, subject to the entities achieving certain financial performance thresholds. The contingent consideration payments for the Welch, Marble and the DAS Medical acquisitions are up to $6 million, $500 thousand and $20 million, respectively. The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration payments recognized upon the acquisition as part of the purchase accounting opening balance sheets totaled approximately $800 thousand, $400 thousand and $5.2 million for the Welch, Marble and the DAS Medical acquisitions, respectively, and was estimated by discounting to present value the probability-weighted contingent payments expected to be made. Assumptions used in the initial calculation were management’s financial forecasts, discount rate and various volatility factors. The ultimate settlement of contingent consideration could deviate from current estimates based on the actual results of these financial measures. Contingent consideration is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period. The fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration payments recognized at September 30, 2024 totaled approximately $10.0 million out of the remaining potential payments of $16.5 million. The change in fair value of contingent consideration for the acquisitions is included in change in fair value of contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Also in connection with the DAS Medical and Advant Medical acquisitions, the Company entered into Non-Competition Agreements with the beneficiaries (certain previous owners of DAS and Advant) and the Company has agreed to pay additional consideration to the parties to the Non-Competition Agreements, including an aggregate of $10.0 million in payments over theten years following the closing of the DAS Medical acquisition for the 10-year noncompetition covenants of certain key owners and an aggregate of €375 thousand in payments over the three years following the third anniversary of the closing of the Advant Medical acquisition for the 5-year noncompetition covenants of the owner. The Company paid approximately $1.7 million during the first quarter of 2024 related to non-competition agreements. The present value of the Non-Competition Agreements at September 30, 2024 totaled approximately $6.9 million. This liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period.

The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, that are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the Company.

Share-based compensation is measured on the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

The Company issues share-based awards through two plans that are described in detail in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The compensation cost charged against income from those plans is included in selling, general & administrative expenses as follows (in thousands):

The total income tax benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for share-based compensa‐tion arrangements was approximately $394 thousand and $1.9 million for the three-and-nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately $310 thousand and $1.9 million for the three-and-nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023.

Common Stock Grants

The compensation expense for common stock granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, was determined based on the market price of the shares on the date of grant.

Stock Option Grants

The following is a summary of stock option activity under all plans for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024:

On June 6, 2024, the Company granted options to its directors for the purchase of 2,958 shares of the Company’s common stock at that day’s closing price of $260.92. The compensation expense related to these grants was determined as the fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions:

The stock volatility for each grant is determined based on a review of the experience of the weighted average of historical daily price changes of the Company’s common stock over the expected option term, and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods correspond‐ing with the expected term of the option. The expected term is estimated based on historical option exercise activity.

During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the total intrinsic value of all options exercised (i.e., the difference between the market price and the price paid to exercise the options) was approximately $652 thousand and $3.0 million, respectively, and the total amount of consideration received by the Company from the exercised options was approximately $212 thousand and $789 thousand, respectively. At its discretion, the Company allows option holders to surrender previously owned common stock in lieu of paying the exercise price and withholding taxes. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024,653 shares were surrendered at an average market price of $162.93. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023,861 shares were surrendered at an average market price of $127.05.

Restricted Stock Unit awards

The following table summarizes information about RSU activity during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024:

At the Company’s discretion, upon vesting, RSU holders are given the option to net-share settle to cover the required minimum withholding tax and the remaining amount is converted into the equivalent number of common shares and issued to the RSU holder. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,21,914 shares and 20,457 shares were surrendered at an average market price of $216.80 and $117.95, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $6.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.5 years.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value, and consist of the following at the stated dates (in thousands):

Property, plant, and equipment consist of the following (in thousands):

The Company has operating and finance leases for offices, manufacturing plants, vehicles and certain office and manufacturing equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component, thus causing all fixed payments to be capitalized. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the right of use (“ROU”) assets or lease liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a contract. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and operating and finance lease liabilities are stated separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The lease term assumed in the determination of the ROU assets and lease liabilities includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. ROU assets are also adjusted for any deferred or accrued rent. As the Company's leases do not typically provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

ROU assets and lease liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

The components of lease costs for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 consist of the following (in thousands):

The aggregate future lease payments for leases as of September 30, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Basic income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during each period.

The weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net income per share consisted of the following (in thousands):

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock options during the period. These outstanding stock options are not included in the computa‐tion of diluted income per share because the effect would be antidilutive. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation were zero and 2,958, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share were 4,281 and 12,153, respectively.

The Company consists of asingle operating and reportable segment.

The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Company’s prior credit agreement, originally dated as of December 22, 2021.

The credit facilities under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement consist of a secured term loan to the Company of $125 million and a secured revolving credit facility, under which the Company may borrow up to $150 million.
