Current report
On July 9, 2025, we announced the acquisition of a facility in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, as well as land rights for an additional future manufacturing site in Penang, Malaysia. We believe the Eau Claire, Wisconsin facility comes equipped with the necessary infrastructure to support advanced technology PCB manufacturing and enhances our ability to support future high-volume U.S. production of advanced technology PCBs across key markets, particularly data center computing and networking for generative AI applications. In addition, we acquired land rights for ten acres in Penang to establish a new production site that we anticipate will align with customers’ increasing interests in supply chain diversification beyond China. The future Penang facility will be in close proximity to our existing facility and will enable us to deliver cost-competitive, high-quality advanced technology PCB manufacturing to commercial markets such as data center computing, networking, and medical, industrial, and instrumentation. Together, these new investments support our strategy to offer regionally optimized, globally connected manufacturing solutions for our customers.
Current report
The end market revenue for the years ended December 30, 2024 and January 1, 2024 has been recast to reflect certain adjustments to allocations resulting from the segment reorganization that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
Current report
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, in connection with our change in organizational structure to enhance clarity in sector performance, accountability, and operating costs, we concluded that we have three reportable segments: A&D, Commercial, and RF&S Components. In prior periods, we had two reportable segments: PCB and RF&S Components. In connection with our assessment of operating segments, we determined that our operating segments were also our reporting units and reallocated our PCB goodwill between A&D and Commercial based on the estimated relative fair values of the reporting units. In connection with the reallocation of goodwill, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment for these segments and concluded no impairment indicators existed as of June 30, 2025. See Part II, Item 8, Note 4, Segment Information, and Note 6, Goodwill and Definite-lived Intangibles, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for further information.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
Current report
Selected financial highlights are presented in the table below:
Current report
Total net sales increased $463.6 million, or 19.0%, to $2,906.3 million for the year ended December 29, 2025 from $2,442.8 million for the year ended December 30, 2024. The primary driver of this increase was strong demand in our aerospace and defense, data center computing, and networking end markets, the latter two being driven by generative AI. In addition, our medical, industrial, and instrumentation end market was stronger as inventories and demand normalized in this end market.
Current report
Gross Profit and Margin Rate
Current report
Gross profit increased $124.3 million to $601.7 million for the year ended December 29, 2025, from $477.4 million for the year ended December 30, 2024. Gross margin rate increased to 20.7% for the year ended December 29, 2025, from 19.5% for the year ended December 30, 2024. These increases were primarily due to higher sales volume, improved operational execution, favorable product mix, and increased volume of PCB shipments, partially offset by continued ramp-up costs in connection with our fabrication plant in Penang, Malaysia.
Current report
Gross profit increased $64.1 million to $477.4 million for the year ended December 30, 2024, from $413.3 million for the year ended January 1, 2024. Gross margin rate increased to 19.5% for the year ended December 30, 2024, from 18.5% for the year ended January 1, 2024. These increases were primarily due to higher sales volume and improved operational execution, partially offset by higher employee costs and continued ramp-up costs in connection with our fabrication plant in Penang, Malaysia.
Current report
Operating Expenses
Current report
Operating expenses decreased $24.3 million to $337.0 million for the year ended December 29, 2025, from $361.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2024, primarily due to the absence of a $32.6 million impairment of goodwill, decreases in restructuring charges and amortization of definite-lived intangibles, and the absence of a $6.1 million write down of our Hong Kong building that occurred during the year ended December 30, 2024, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation and incentive compensation expense as well as the absence of $14.4 million of gains on the sale of assets primarily related to the sale of two buildings vacated with the closure of our Anaheim and Santa Clara plants that occurred during the year ended December 30, 2024.
Current report
Total other expense, net increased $22.3 million to $54.3 million for the year ended December 29, 2025 from $32.1 million for the year ended December 30, 2024, primarily due to a foreign exchange loss of $20.4 million during the year ended December 29, 2025 compared to a foreign exchange gain of $1.2 million during the year ended December 30, 2024. We utilize the RMB and MYR at our China and Malaysia facilities, respectively, for employee‑related and other costs of running our operations in foreign countries. There was an unrealized loss from foreign exchange of $14.6 million during the year ended December 29, 2025, compared to an unrealized gain from foreign exchange of $1.0 million during the year ended December 30, 2024. The unrealized loss was related to the translation of our China and Malaysia balance sheets from their local currencies into the U.S. dollar functional currency, resulting from strengthening RMB and MYR during the year ended December 29, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 30, 2024.
Current report
Income tax expense increased $5.2 million to $32.9 million for the year ended December 29, 2025 from $27.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes for the year ended December 29, 2025 and income tax accruals for assessments and uncertain tax positions in various jurisdictions, partially offset by the OBBBA tax impact, as discussed below, and an income tax benefit from the deduction of stock‑based compensation.
Current report
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted, introducing amendments to U.S. tax laws with various effective dates from 2025 to 2027. The OBBBA includes provisions such as the permanent extension of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire at the end of 2025 and modifications to the international tax framework. Topic 740 requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Accordingly, our tax provisions for the year ended December 29, 2025 incorporated the estimated effects of the tax law changes including the accelerated depreciation of qualified property and the immediate expensing of U.S. research and development expenditure paid or incurred for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. We recorded a $6.0 million benefit from the decrease in the U.S. valuation allowance resulting from the OBBBA impact to our deferred tax assets.

SEGMENT OPERATING RESULTS
Current report
Basis of Presentation
Current report
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, in connection with our change in organizational structure to enhance clarity in sector performance, accountability, and operating costs, our management finalized its assessment of our operating segments and concluded that we have three reportable segments: A&D, Commercial, and RF&S Components. As a result, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with this new presentation. See Part II, Item 8, Note 4, Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report for further information.
Current report
Selected segment financial highlights, with reconciliations to operating income, are presented in the table below:
Current report
Amortization of definite-lived intangibles relates to the A&D, Commercial, and RF&S Components reportable segments, but is not reviewed separately by the CODM. For the years ended December 29, 2025, December 30, 2024, and January 1, 2024, amortization expense of $9,343, $9,342, and $12,292, respectively, is included in cost of goods sold for the A&D reportable segment. For the year ended January 1, 2024, amortization expense of $609 is included in cost of goods sold for the RF&S Components reportable segment.
Current report
Segment operating income, as reconciled in Part II, Item 8, Note 4, Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report, and segment operating margin rate (segment operating income divided by segment sales) are presented in conformity with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 280, Segment Reporting. These measures are reported to the CODM, who is the President and Chief Executive Officer, for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance. For these reasons, these measures are excluded from the definition of non‑GAAP financial measures under the SEC's Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.
Current report
A&D
Current report
Segment sales for the A&D reportable segment increased $152.6 million, or 13.4%, to $1,292.5 million for the year ended December 29, 2025, from $1,140.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2024. The primary drivers of this increase were improved spending in previous defense budgets, our strong strategic program alignment, and key bookings for ongoing franchise programs, including restricted programs. These increases were driven by increased sales related to missiles and munitions as well as strong demand in our mission systems and specialty assembly businesses.
Current report
Segment sales for the A&D reportable segment increased $94.0 million, or 9.0%, to $1,140.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2024, from $1,046.0 million for the year ended January 1, 2024. The primary driver of this increase was strong demand in our radar and missile systems.

The primary driver of these decreases was lower sales volume, as discussed above.
Current report
We do not consider any material portion of our business to be seasonal. Various factors, however, can affect the distribution of our sales between accounting periods, including the timing of customer orders, the availability of customer funding, product deliveries, and customer acceptance.
Removed paragraphs (34)
Previous report
In addition, we previously announced plans to consolidate our integrated electronics facilities in Elizabeth City, North Carolina and Huntington, New York into existing facilities in order to improve efficiencies. As of the end of fiscal year 2024, the closure of Elizabeth City has been completed and the closure of Huntington is expected by the middle of 2025.
Previous report
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We apply a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when the corresponding performance obligation is satisfied.
Previous report
We have significant goodwill and definite-lived intangibles. We review these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In addition, we perform an impairment test related to goodwill at least annually. As necessary, we make judgments regarding future cash flow forecasts in the assessment of impairment.
Previous report
Goodwill is allocated to our reporting units, which are our operating segments or one level below our operating segments (the component level). Reporting units are determined by the discrete financial information available for the component and whether it is regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated into a single reporting unit if they share similar economic characteristics. We evaluate goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or perform a quantitative impairment test. When tested quantitatively, we compare the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. We estimate the fair values of our reporting units using a combination of the discounted cash flow (DCF) and market approach. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.
Previous report
We have two reportable segments: PCB and RF&S Components. Goodwill is attributable to both of our PCB and RF&S Components reportable segments.
Previous report
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Previous report
The relationship of various items to net sales in our consolidated statements of operations was as follows:
Previous report
The Telephonics acquisition occurred on June 27, 2022. Accordingly, our fiscal year 2022 only includes Telephonics’ 2022 results of operations since the acquisition date. As of the fourth quarter of 2022, we completed our integration of Telephonics and reassessed our reportable segments, which resulted in the inclusion of Telephonics into our PCB reportable segment.
Previous report
Total net sales decreased $262.5 million, or 10.5%, to $2,232.5 million for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $2,495.0 million for the year ended January 2, 2023. Net sales for the PCB reportable segment decreased $243.9 million, or 10.0%, to $2,194.0 million for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $2,437.9 million for the year ended January 2, 2023. The primary driver of this decrease was demand weakness in our commercial end markets and decrease in sales of $36.3 million from the Shanghai Backplane Assembly entity we sold in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the inclusion of a full year of results of Telephonics during the year ended January 1, 2024 (as compared to the inclusion in the year ended January 2, 2023 of its results commencing with its acquisition in 2022), as well as organic growth in our aerospace and defense end market. Net sales for the RF&S Components reportable segment decreased $18.6 million, or 32.5%, to $38.5 million for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $57.1 million for the year ended January 2, 2023. The decrease in RF&S Components net sales was primarily due to lower demand in our networking end market.
Previous report
For information regarding net sales by country, see Part II, Item 8, Note 10, Segment Information, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report.
Previous report
Gross Margin
Previous report
Overall gross margin increased to 19.5% for the year ended December 30, 2024 from 18.5% for the year ended January 1, 2024. The increase in overall gross margin was due to the increase in gross margin for the PCB reportable segment to 20.6% for the year ended December 30, 2024, from 19.3% for the year ended January 1, 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volume, particularly in the data center computing and aerospace and defense end markets, and improved operational execution, partially offset by declines in the automotive, medical, industrial, and instrumentation, and networking end markets, higher employee costs, and continued ramp up costs included in cost of goods sold in connection with our fabrication plant in Penang, Malaysia. Gross margin for the RF&S Components reportable segment decreased to 48.9% for the year ended December 30, 2024, from 54.7% for the year ended January 1, 2024, primarily due to lower sales.
Previous report
Overall gross margin increased slightly to 18.5% for the year ended January 1, 2024 from 18.4% for the year ended January 2, 2023. The increase in overall gross margin was due to the increase in gross margin for the PCB reportable segment to 19.3% for the year ended January 1, 2024, from 18.2% for the year ended January 2, 2023. This increase was primarily due to better product mix and improved execution in our North America region, partially offset by lower revenues and less quick-turn premium in our commercial markets. Gross margin for the RF&S Components reportable segment decreased to 54.7% for the year ended January 1, 2024, from 62.3% for the year ended January 2, 2023, primarily due to lower sales.
Previous report
An important factor affecting gross margins is capacity utilization, which is measured by the actual production as a percentage of maximum capacity. This measure is particularly important in our high-volume PCB facilities in Asia, as a significant portion of our operating costs are fixed in nature. We believe that our North America utilization figures are not as meaningful as Asia because bottlenecks in these high mix low volume facilities tend to occur in areas outside of plating, which is the core process that we use for calculating utilization rates. Capacity utilization for the year ended December 30, 2024 in our Asia and North America PCB facilities was 59% and 36%, respectively, compared to 49% and 38%, respectively, for the year ended January 1, 2024. The increase in capacity utilization in our Asia PCB facilities was caused by strong demand in the data center computing end market.
Previous report
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Previous report
Selling and marketing expenses increased $3.1 million to $80.0 million for the year ended December 30, 2024 from $76.9 million for the year ended January 1, 2024. However, selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 3.3% for the year ended December 30, 2024 as compared to 3.4% for the year ended January 1, 2024. The increase in the amount of selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to an increase of $2.0 million in labor costs, $0.6 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.5 million in travel costs. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of net sales resulted from higher net sales for the year ended December 30, 2024 as compared to January 1, 2024.
Previous report
Selling and marketing expenses increased $1.7 million to $76.9 million, or 3.4% of net sales, for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $75.2 million, or 3.0% of net sales, for the year ended January 2, 2023. The increase in selling and marketing expense was primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of Telephonics expenses, which resulted in an increase of $3.5 million and an increase in labor and travels costs, partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in commission expense.
Previous report
General and Administrative Expenses
Previous report
General and administrative expenses decreased $8.5 million to $149.6 million for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $158.2 million for the year ended January 2, 2023, but increased as a percentage of net sales to 6.7% from 6.4% over the same two periods. The decrease in the amount of general and administrative expenses primarily resulted from $13.2 million of reduced acquisition and integration costs mainly related to the acquisition of Telephonics on June 27, 2022. In addition, there were decreases in incentive compensation and bad debt. These decreases were partially offset by the inclusion of a full year of Telephonics expenses, which resulted in an increase of $1.6 million, increase in labor costs and lower gains on the sale of assets. The increase of general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales resulted from lower net sales for the year ended January 1, 2024 as compared to January 2, 2023.
Previous report
Research and Development Expenses
Previous report
Research and development expenses increased $4.6 million to $31.8 million, or 1.3% of net sales, for the year ended December 30, 2024 from $27.3 million, or 1.2% of net sales, for the year ended January 1, 2024. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increases in labor costs and research and development projects.
Previous report
Research and development expenses increased $2.5 million to $27.3 million, or 1.2% of net sales, for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $24.8 million, or 1.0% of net sales, for the year ended January 2, 2023. The increase in expense was primarily due to the inclusion of a full year of Telephonics expenses, which resulted in an increase of $4.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in labor and material costs.
Previous report
Impairment of Goodwill
Previous report
For the years ended December 30, 2024 and January 1, 2024, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $32.6 million and $44.1 million, respectively. See Part II, Item 8, Note 6, Goodwill, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for further information.
Previous report
Restructuring Charges
Previous report
For the years ended December 30, 2024, January 1, 2024, and January 2, 2023, we incurred restructuring charges of $11.2 million, $24.4 million, and $4.1 million, respectively, related to our global realignment restructuring efforts.
Previous report
For the year ended December 30, 2024, we recognized restructuring charges of $8.1 million and $3.1 million in our PCB reportable segment and Corporate and Other, respectively. For the year ended January 1, 2024, we recognized restructuring charges of $23.7 million and $0.7 million in our PCB reportable segment and Corporate and Other, respectively. For the year ended January 2, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $3.5 million and $0.6 million in our PCB reportable segment and Corporate and Other, respectively. These charges primarily represent employee separation and contract termination and other costs associated with the restructuring plans.
Previous report
Gain on sale of SH E-MS Property
Previous report
On December 22, 2022, land, building, and relevant ancillary assets related to our former SH E-MS manufacturing facility was expropriated by the Chinese government for a compensation fee of Renminbi (RMB) 477.6 million ($69.2 million as of January 2, 2023) and we recorded a gain on the sale of $51.8 million during the year ended January 2, 2023.
Previous report
Total other expense, net increased $14.5 million to $42.0 million for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $27.5 million for the year ended January 2, 2023. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in other income of $16.8 million related to the strengthening of the Chinese RMB and an increase in interest expense of $2.6 million due to higher interest rates, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $5.9 million.
Previous report
Income tax expense decreased $69.3 million to $19.0 million for the year ended January 1, 2024 from $88.3 million for the year ended January 2, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax book income, the absence of an expense to set up a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets in 2022, and the release of uncertain tax positions due to lapse of statute of limitations.
Previous report
Offset Agreements
Previous report
We have previously entered into, and may continue to enter into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for our products and services from customers in foreign countries. As of December 30, 2024, we had outstanding offset agreements of approximately $27.3 million, some of which extend through 2028. Offset programs usually extend over several years and in some cases provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with contract requirements. To date, we have not been obligated to pay any such penalties. For details about our offset agreements, see Part II, Item 8, Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.
Previous report
We tend to experience modest seasonal softness in the first and third quarters due to holidays and vacation periods in China and North America, respectively, which limit production leading to stronger revenue levels in the second and fourth quarters.

In the third quarter of 2024, we commenced construction of our new advanced technology PCB manufacturing facility in Syracuse, New York. We expect that our new facility will bring advanced technology capability for our domestic high-volume production of ultra-high-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs in support of national security requirements. We believe the planned investment aligns with New York State’s continuing focus on the region as a premier technology hub for U.S. electronics and the recent selection of Buffalo-Rochester-Syracuse (BRS) for the Federal Tech Hub designation. The project reflects our support for cultivating a stronger microelectronics ecosystem in New York and across the U.S. Aerospace and Defense industrial base. The new building will be located on the 24-acre property adjacent to our existing facility in Syracuse, and we expect to commence initial low rate production in 2026. Phase one of the proposed project, including capital for campus-wide improvements is estimated to be $100.0 million to $130.0 million. We expect to receive support in the form of grants, awards, and tax credits from both federal and New York state sources of approximately $52.0 million in the aggregate (subject to certain requirements and contingencies), which would offset the initial capital investment and lower operating expenses.
Current wording
We previously announced we are in the process of constructing a new advanced technology PCB manufacturing facility in Syracuse, New York. We expect that our new facility will bring advanced technology capability for our domestic high-volume production of ultra-HDI PCBs in support of national security requirements.

For PCBs and engineered systems, including pursuant to long-term contracts related to the manufacture of highly sophisticated intelligence, surveillance and communications solutions, components, assemblies, and subsystems, orders for products generally correspond to the production schedules of customers and are supported with firm purchase orders. Customers have continuous control of the work in progress and finished goods throughout the PCB and engineered systems manufacturing process, as these are built to customer specifications with no alternative use, and there is an enforceable right to payment for work performed to date. As a result, we recognize revenue progressively over time based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. Revenue recognized is based on a cost method as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which takes place as we incur costs. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.

Previous wording
For revenue recorded on an over time basis, we apply a gross margin estimate to inventory in process of being manufactured for customers to determine how much of a contract asset or contract liability should be recorded at period end. As of December 30, 2024, total contract assets were $386.8 million, of which $381.4 million are expected to be collected within one year and recorded as contract assets and $5.4 million are expected to be collected after one year and included as a component of deposits and other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of January 1, 2024, total contract assets were $303.3 million, of which $292.1 million were expected to be collected within one year and recorded as contract assets and $11.3 million were expected to be collected after one year and included as a component of deposits and other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The increase in total contract assets in 2024 is primarily due to an increase in unbilled receivables. We use historical information to estimate the gross margin associated with performance obligations that are satisfied over time. We reevaluate our estimate of gross margins on a quarterly basis. Based on the review of gross margins, we update our estimate to the model as necessary. If our estimates of gross margins are inaccurate, we may recognize too much or too little revenue in a period. While experience has shown that trends in gross margins are not volatile, changes in pricing or cost efficiencies could create significant fluctuations. An increase or decrease of 200 basis points in gross margin estimates would have increased or decreased our contract assets by $3.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and decreased or increased our contract liabilities by $7.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test quantitatively for the RF&S Components reporting unit. As of November 1, 2024, we completed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis related to our RF&S Components reporting unit by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. In making this assessment, we rely on a number of factors, including expected future operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and business trends. We determined the fair value of the reporting unit by using both a DCF and a market approach. Under the market approach, we used revenue and earnings multiples based on comparable industry multiples to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit.
Current wording
We completed our quantitative goodwill impairment analysis related to our PCB, A&D, and Commercial reporting units by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. Based on our analysis, we determined that the fair values of the PCB, A&D, and Commercial reporting units were greater than their respective carrying values. In making this assessment, we rely on a number of factors, including expected future operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and business trends. We determined the fair value of the reporting units by using both a DCF and a market approach. Under the market approach, we used revenue and earnings multiples based on comparable industry multiples to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit.
Previous wording
Based on our analysis, we determined that the fair value of the RF&S Components reporting unit was less than its carrying value and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $32.6 million during the year ended December 30, 2024. Estimating the fair value of the reporting unit requires us to make assumptions and estimates in such areas as future economic conditions, industry-specific conditions, product pricing, and necessary capital expenditures. The use of different assumptions or estimates for future cash flows, discount rates, or terminal growth rates, which are subject to a high degree of judgment, could produce substantially different estimates of the fair value of the reporting unit. We may be subject to additional goodwill impairment charges if actual results do not meet the estimates used in determining the fair value of goodwill and the associated goodwill impairment charge.
Current wording
We reallocated PCB goodwill to the A&D and Commercial reporting units based on their estimated relative fair values.

Management will continue to monitor the reporting units for changes in the business environment that could impact recoverability. The recoverability of goodwill is dependent upon the continued growth of cash flows from our business activities. If the economy or business environment falter and we are unable to achieve our assumed revenue growth rates or profit margin percentages, our projections used would need to be re-measured, which could impact the carrying value of our goodwill in one or more of our reporting units.

Segment sales for the Commercial reportable segment increased $111.0 million, or 9.5%, to $1,275.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2024, from $1,164.7 million for the year ended January 1, 2024. The primary driver of this increase was demand growth for generative AI applications in our data center computing end market, partially offset by demand weakness due to customers' inventory correction in our automotive, medical, industrial, and instrumentation, and networking end markets. We also sold our Shanghai Backplane Assembly entity in the first quarter of 2023, which had the effect of reducing Commercial reportable segment net sales in 2024 by $8.4 million.

In addition, we manufacture components, assemblies, subsystems, and completed systems which service our RF&S Components and certain aerospace and defense customers. We recognize revenue at a point in time upon transfer of control of the products to the customer. Point in time recognition was determined as our customer does not simultaneously receive or consume the benefits provided by our performance and the asset being manufactured has alternative uses to us.
