Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- Organization and Basis of Presentation
Novanta Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, or “Novanta”) is a leading global supplier of core technology solutions that give medical and advanced industrial original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) a competitive advantage. The Company combines deep proprietary technology expertise and competencies in precision medicine, precision manufacturing, robotics and automation, and advanced surgery with a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. This enables Novanta to engineer core components and sub-systems that deliver extreme precision and performance, tailored to the customers' demanding applications.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., applied on a consistent basis. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Novanta Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which such revisions are deemed to be necessary. The Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience, current conditions, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries outside the U.S. have been translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates for the period. Accordingly, gains and losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are reported as cumulative translation adjustments, a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities ofthree months or less. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s best estimate of probable credit losses. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of its products. The Company assesses each customer’s ability to pay by conducting a credit review which includes consideration of established credit rating or an internal assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness based on an analysis of their payment history when a credit rating is not available. The Company monitors its credit exposure through active review of customer balances. The Company’s expected loss methodology for accounts receivable is developed through consideration of factors including, but not limited to, historical collection experience, current customer credit ratings, current customer financial condition, current and future economic and market condition, and age of the receivables. Charges related to credit losses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and are recorded in the period that the outstanding receivables are determined to be uncollectible. Account balances are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company believes it is certain that the receivable will not be recovered.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows (in thousands):
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at beginning of year | $505 | $571 | $995 |
| Addition to credit loss expense | 897 | 223 | 175 |
| Write-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously reserved | (72) | (288) | (612) |
| Exchange rate changes | 11 | (1) | 13 |
| Balance at end of year | $1,341 | $505 | $571 |
Inventories
Inventories, which include materials and conversion costs, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes the cost of purchased materials, inbound freight charges, customs duties, trade tariffs on imported materials and components, external and internal processing and applicable labor and overhead costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, storage, disposal and transportation. The Company periodically reviews inventory for potential excess or obsolescence by comparing on-hand quantities to the forecasted product demand and production requirements or trailing historical usage of each product. The Company records a charge to cost of revenue for the amount required to reduce the carrying value of inventories to their net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, adjusted for any impairment, less accumulated depreciation. The Company uses the straight-line method to calculate the depreciation of its property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the lease terms, including any renewal period options that are reasonably assured of being exercised. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Capitalized Software Implementation Costs
The Company capitalizes qualified implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract for which it is the customer in accordance with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop internal-use software. These capitalized implementation costs are recorded within other assets and are generally amortized over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the associated hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities acquired in a business combination. Allocations of the purchase price are based upon a valuation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized but are assessed for impairment at least annually to ensure their current fair values exceed their carrying values.
The Company’s most significant identifiable intangible assets are customer relationships, patents and developed technologies, trademarks and trade names. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets are based on valuations using an income approach, with estimates and assumptions provided by management of the acquired companies and the Company. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, discount rates and projected future cash flows. All definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the periods in which their economic benefits are expected to be realized. The Company reviews the useful life assumptions, including the classification of certain identifiable intangible assets as “indefinite-lived,” on a periodic basis to determine if changes in circumstances warrant revisions to them. Costs associated with patent and intellectual property applications, renewals or extensions are typically expensed as incurred.
The Company evaluates its goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment at the reporting unit level which is at least one level below the reportable segments.
Impairment Charges
Impairment analyses of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are conducted in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other.” The Company performs its goodwill impairment test annually at a reporting unit level, which is generally at least one level below a reportable segment, as of the beginning of the second quarter or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that an impairment may exist.
The Company has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company reviews factors both specific to the reporting unit and to the Company as a whole, such as financial performance, macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, and the fair value of each reporting unit as of the last valuation date. If the Company elects this option and believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required.
Alternatively, the Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative impairment test instead. This approach requires a comparison of the carrying value of each reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The fair value of a reporting unit is estimated primarily using a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
The Company assesses indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of the beginning of the second quarter, and more frequently if indicators are present, or changes in circumstances suggest, that an impairment may exist. The Company will also reassess the continuing classification of these intangible assets as indefinite-lived when circumstances change such that the useful life may no longer be considered indefinite. The fair values of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined using the relief from royalty method, based on forecasted revenues and estimated royalty rates. If the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.
The carrying amounts of definite-lived long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever changes in events or circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. The recoverability of the carrying value is generally determined by comparison of the carrying value of the asset group to its undiscounted future cash flows. When this test indicates a potential for impairment, a fair value assessment is performed. Once an impairment is determined and measured, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.
Revenue Recognition
See Note 3 for the Company’s revenue recognition policy.
Leases
The Company leases certain equipment and facilities. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets are included in operating lease assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease liabilities are included in the current portion of operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of future lease payments. Finance lease assets are included in property, plant and equipment. Finance lease liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of future lease payments. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many of the Company’s lease arrangements include both lease (e.g., fixed payments including rent) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance or other property management costs). The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components separately.
Most leases held by the Company do not provide an implicit rate. The Company determines the present value of future lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate for the same jurisdiction and term as the associated lease based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The Company has a centrally managed treasury function; therefore, the Company applies a portfolio approach for determining the incremental borrowing rate based on the applicable lease terms and the current economic environment.
Research and Development and Engineering Costs
Research and development and engineering (“R&D”) expenses are primarily comprised of employee related expenses and cost of materials for R&D projects. These costs are expensed as incurred.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company records expenses associated with share-based compensation awards to employees and directors based on the fair value of awards as of the grant date. For share-based compensation awards that vest over time based on employment or service, the associated expenses are based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations ratably over the respective vesting periods, net of estimated forfeitures.
The Company also grants share-based awards that vest based on employment and certain specified company performance conditions, market conditions or a hybrid of specified company performance conditions and market conditions. Share-based compensation expenses for awards with specified company performance conditions are based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant and are recognized ratably over their vesting periods when it is probable that the performance targets are expected to be achieved based on management’s projections. Management’s projections are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods when underlying factors change the evaluation of the probability of achieving the performance targets as well as the estimated levels of achievement. When the estimated achievement levels are adjusted at a later date, a cumulative adjustment to the share-based compensation expense previously recognized would be recorded in the period such determination is made. Accordingly, share-based compensation expenses for awards with specified company performance conditions may differ significantly from period to period based on changes to both the probability and the level of achievement against the performance targets.
Share-based compensation expenses for awards with market conditions are based on the grant-date fair value, determined using the Monte-Carlo valuation model, and are recognized on a straight-line basis from the grant date to the end of the performance period. Compensation expenses for awards with market conditions will not be affected by the number of common shares that will ultimately be issued upon vesting at the end of the performance period.
Share-based compensation expenses for awards with a hybrid of specified company performance conditions and market conditions are based on the grant-date fair value, determined using the Monte-Carlo valuation model, and are recognized ratably over their vesting periods when it is probable that the performance targets are expected to be achieved based on management’s projections. Management’s projections are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods when underlying factors change the evaluation of the probability and the level of achieving the specified company performance targets. When the estimated achievement levels are adjusted at a later date, a cumulative adjustment to the share-based compensation expense previously recognized would be recorded in the period such determination is made. Accordingly, share-based compensation expenses for awards with hybrid conditions may differ significantly from period to period based on changes to both the probability and the level of achievement against the specified company performance targets.
The Company also grants stock options to certain members of the executive management team to purchase common shares of the Company at a strike price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. Stock options typically vest over time based on employment. Share-based compensation expenses associated with stock options are based on the grant-date fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and are recognized on a straight-line basis ratably over the respective vesting period.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Advertising costs were not material for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Restructuring, Acquisition and Related Costs
The Company accounts for its restructuring activities in accordance with the provisions of ASC 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.” The Company makes assumptions related to the amounts of employee severance benefits and related costs, useful lives and residual value of long-lived assets, and discount rates. Estimates and assumptions are based on the best information available at the time the obligation is recognized. These estimates are reviewed and revised as facts and circumstances dictate.
Acquisition related costs incurred to effect a business combination, including finders’ fees, legal, valuation and other professional or consulting fees, are expensed as incurred. Acquisition related costs also include expenses recognized under earn-out agreements in connection with acquisitions.
Accounting for Income Taxes
The asset and liability method is used to account for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the related tax benefits will not be realized in the future. Valuation allowances are reassessed periodically to determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will be realized in the future and if any existing valuation allowance should be released.
The majority of the Company’s business activities are conducted through its subsidiaries outside of Canada. Earnings from these subsidiaries are generally indefinitely reinvested in the local businesses. Further, local laws and regulations may also restrict certain subsidiaries from paying dividends to their parents. Consequently, the Company generally does not accrue income taxes for the repatriation of such earnings in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” To the extent that there are excess accumulated earnings that the Company intends to repatriate from any such subsidiaries, the Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities on such foreign earnings.
The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based on the evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at each reporting date. For those tax positions with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information, the Company records a tax benefit. For those income tax positions that are not likely to be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes.
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency contracts as a part of its strategy to limit its exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The time duration of these foreign currency contracts approximates the underlying foreign currency transaction exposures, generally less than three months. These foreign currency contracts are not designated as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges. Changes in the fair value of these foreign currency contracts are recognized in income before income taxes.

- Revenue
The Company accounts for its revenue transactions in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of control over goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue recognition for arrangements within the scope of ASC 606 includes the following five steps: (i) identifying the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company recognizes revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the customer. The transfer of control generally occurs upon shipment when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of distinct products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for such products, which is generally at contractually stated prices. Sales taxes and value added taxes collected concurrently with revenue generating activities are excluded from revenue.
Performance Obligations
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time, upon shipment, rather than over time.
At the request of its customers, the Company may perform professional services, generally for the maintenance and repair of products previously sold to those customers and for engineering services. Professional services are typically short in duration, mostly less thanone month, and aggregate to less than 3%of the Company’s consolidated revenue. Revenue is typically recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer upon completion of professional services. These services generally involve a single distinct performance obligation. The consideration expected to be received in exchange for such services is normally the contractually stated amount.
The Company occasionally sells separately priced non-standard/extended warranty services or preventative maintenance plans with the sale of products. The transfer of control over the service plans is over time. The Company recognizes the related revenue ratably over the terms of the service plans. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using the expected cost plus a margin.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after the transfer of control over the related goods as fulfillment activities rather than performance obligations. The shipping and handling fees charged to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recorded in cost of revenue at the time of transfer of control.
Warranties
The Company generally provides warranties for its products. The standard warranty period is typically 12 months to 36 months. The standard warranty period for product sales is accounted for under the provisions of ASC 450, “Contingencies,” as the Company has the ability to ascertain the likelihood of the liability and can reasonably estimate the amount of the liability. A provision for the estimated warranty cost is recorded in cost of revenue at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate of costs to service the warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectations of future conditions. To the extent that the Company’s experience in warranty claims or costs associated with servicing those claims differ from the original estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability are recorded at that time, with an offsetting adjustment to cost of revenue.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
The Company expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred if the expected amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a financing component because the time period between the transfer of a promised good to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good is typically one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of the remaining performance obligation for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and advance payments from customers, including amounts that are refundable. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, contract liabilities were$11.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The increase in the contract liability balance during the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, partially offset by$4.5 million of revenue recognized during the year that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2024.
Disaggregated Revenue
See Note 19 for the Company’s disaggregation of revenue by geography and end market. The following table presents revenues disaggregated by the capabilities of the underlying products and technologies for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Precision Manufacturing | $182,258 | $202,303 | $225,750 |
| Robotics and Automation | 318,577 | 288,317 | 273,470 |
| Automation Enabling Technologies | $500,835 | $490,620 | $499,220 |
| Precision Medicine | 237,321 | 249,872 | 178,840 |
| Advanced Surgery | 242,444 | 208,753 | 203,602 |
| Medical Solutions | $479,765 | $458,625 | $382,442 |
| Total Revenue | $980,600 | $949,245 | $881,662 |
- Business Combinations
2025 Acquisition
On April 8, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Keonn Technologies, S.L. (“Keonn”) pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement. At the closing date, Keonn became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Keonn is a manufacturer of Radio-Frequency Identification (“RFID”) solutions, based in Barcelona, Spain. Keonn is included in the Medical Solutions reportable segment.
The acquisition of Keonn has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include results of operations for Keonn from the April 8, 2025 acquisition date.
Consideration Transferred
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Keonn for estimated total purchase consideration of $75.1 million, which consists of:
| Cash consideration | $68,336 |
|---|---|
| Deferred consideration | 2,192 |
| Estimated fair value of contingent consideration | 4,537 |
| Estimated total purchase consideration | $75,065 |
Contingent consideration represents additional payments that the Company may be required to make in the future, between €0 and €20.0 million (approximately $21.9 million as of the acquisition date), depending on the achievement of specified revenue targets by Keonn during fiscal years 2025 through 2027, as well as maintaining certain minimum gross margin targets during the applicable periods. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model in an option pricing framework at the acquisition date, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. Refer to Note 7 for additional information on the valuation assumptions utilized in the Monte Carlo simulation. Deferred consideration is related to a purchase price holdback which will be resolved within four years of the acquisition date. The liabilities for contingent and deferred consideration are included in other current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, based on their respective settlement dates. These liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period until related contingencies are resolved.
Allocation of Purchase Price
The purchase price is allocated based upon a valuation of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were based on valuations using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty method for developed technologies and trade name. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, discount rates, technology obsolescence curves, and EBITDA margins. The Company’s estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities are subject to change within the measurement period (up toone year from the acquisition date) as a result of additional information to be obtained with regard to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date
The purchase price for Keonn was allocated as follows (in thousands):
| Purchase Price | |
|---|---|
| Allocation | |
| Cash | $4,045 |
| Accounts receivable | 1,977 |
| Inventory | 5,377 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 1,401 |
| Operating lease assets | 3,124 |
| Intangible assets | 33,203 |
| Goodwill | 43,192 |
| Other assets | 1,412 |
| Total assets acquired | 93,731 |
| Accounts payable | 1,593 |
| Operating lease liabilities | 3,124 |
| Debt | 2,504 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 7,369 |
| Other liabilities | 4,076 |
| Total liabilities assumed | 18,666 |
| Total assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed | 75,065 |
| Less: cash acquired | 4,045 |
| Total purchase price, net of cash acquired | $71,020 |
The estimated purchase price allocation previously disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 27, 2025 was revised during the third quarter of 2025 as new information was received and analyzed resulting in an increase in identifiable intangible assets of $0.9 million, a decrease in goodwill of $1.0 million, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $0.2 million.
The fair value of intangible assets for Keonn is comprised of the following:
| Estimated Fair | Amortization | |
|---|---|---|
| Value (In thousands) | Period | |
| Developed technologies | $9,753 | 9 years |
| Customer relationships | 22,354 | 9 years |
| Trade name | 1,096 | 14 years |
| Total | $33,203 |
The purchase price allocation resulted in $33.2 million of identifiable intangible assets and $43.2 million of goodwill. Asthe Keonn acquisition was structured as a stock acquisition for income tax purposes, the goodwill is not deductible. The goodwill recorded represents the anticipated incremental value of future cash flows potentially attributable to: (i) Keonn’s ability to grow the business with existing and new customers, including leveraging the Company’s customer base; (ii) Keonn’s ability to grow the business through new product introductions; and (iii) cost improvements due to the integration of Keonn’s operations into the Company’s existing infrastructure.
The operating results of Keonn were included in the Company's results of operations beginning on April 8, 2025. Keonn contributed revenues of $31.7 million and a loss before income taxes of $1.9 million to the Company's operating results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The loss before income taxes from Keonn for the period from the acquisition date through December 31, 2025 included amortization of purchased intangible assets of $6.7 million.
The pro forma financial information reflecting the operating results of Keonn, as if it had been acquired as of January 1, 2024, would not differ materially from the operating results of the Company as reported for the year ended December 31, 2024.

- Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets which the Company can access
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those described in Level 1
Level 3: Unobservable inputs
Current Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which represent assets the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company addresses market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as a part of its strategy to manage exposures related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.
Contingent Consideration
On April 8, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Keonn. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the former shareholders of Keonn (the “Sellers”) are eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of specified revenue targets by Keonn during fiscal years 2025 through 2027. Payment of this contingent consideration is also subject to Keonn maintaining certain minimum gross margin percentage during the applicable periods. The undiscounted range of potential contingent consideration is between €0 and €20.0 million(approximately $21.9 million). If the performance conditions are met, the contingent consideration will be payable annually, with the first payment due in the first half of 2026. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was €4.1 million (approximately $4.5 million), determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method. This amount was recorded as part of the purchase price. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in restructuring, acquisition, and related costs until the liability is fully settled. During 2025, the fair value of the contingent consideration was adjusted to €4.9 million ($5.7 million).
The following table summarizes the fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

- Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company addresses market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain foreign currency transaction exposures from future settlement of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities as of the end of a period. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments substantially offset losses and gains on the underlying hedged exposures. Furthermore, the Company manages its exposure to counterparty risks on derivative instruments by entering into contracts with a diversified group of major financial institutions and by actively monitoring outstanding positions.
As of December 31, 2025, the notional amount and fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was$147.7 million and a net loss of less than $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the notional amount and fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was $187.4 million and a net loss of $0.2 million, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized aggregatenet loss of $2.1 million, net gain of $4.9 million, and net gain of $2.5 million, respectively, from the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts, which were included in foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.
- Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully vested restricted stock units, deferred stock units granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors and the 4.7 million minimum shares issuable under stock purchase contract are included in the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
For diluted earnings per common share, the denominator includes the dilutive effect of outstanding common share equivalents. The dilutive effects of outstanding common share equivalents, including outstanding service-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options, performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), and stock purchase contracts.
The dilutive effects of service-based RSUs, stock options, and PSUs are calculated using the treasury stock method. PSUs are considered contingently issuable shares, as their vesting may be based on the achievement of specified company financial performance metrics (“attainment-based PSUs”), the satisfaction of certain market conditions (“market-based PSUs”) or a hybrid of company financial performance metrics and market conditions (“hybrid PSUs”).
The dilutive effects of market-based PSUs is included in the weighted average common share outstanding based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable as of the end of the reporting period, assuming the end of the reporting period is also the end of the performance period. The dilutive effects of attainment-based and hybrid PSUs is included in the weighted average common share outstanding only to the extend that the applicable performance targets have been achieved as of the end of the reporting period.
The dilutive effects of stock purchase contracts represent the difference between the minimum and the maximum number of shares issuable based on the applicable market value. The "applicable market value" is defined as weighted-average price per share of common stock over the twenty consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the balance sheet date, or November 1, 2028, for settlement of the stock purchase contracts.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Numerators: | |||
| Net income | $53,829 | $64,087 | $72,878 |

| Weighted average common shares outstanding— basic | 36,589 | 35,950 | 35,844 |
| Dilutive potential common shares | 113 | 174 | 187 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding— diluted | 36,702 | 36,124 | 36,031 |
| Antidilutive potential common shares excluded from above | 239 | 128 | 99 |
| Earnings per Common Share: | |||
| Basic | $1.47 | $1.78 | $2.03 |
| Diluted | $1.47 | $1.77 | $2.02 |
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023,209 thousand shares,150 thousand shares, and 104 thousand shares respectively, of attainment-based PSUs and hybrid PSUs were excluded from the calculation of the denominator because they were considered contingently issuable shares and the related performance targets had not been achieved as of December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

On June 27, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with existing and new lenders for an aggregate credit facility of approximately $1.0 billion, consisting of a €65.3 million euro-denominated 5-year term loan facility (the “Euro Term Loans”), a $75.0 million U.S. Dollar denominated 5-year term loan facility (the “U.S. Term Loans” and together with the Euro Term Loans, the “Term Loans”), and an $850.0 million 5-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Euro Term Loans and the U.S. Term Loans, collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities mature in June 2030 and include an uncommitted “accordion” feature pursuant to which the commitments thereunder may be increased by an additional $350.0 million in aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions. In connection with the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company capitalized $4.7 million deferred financing costs and recorded a $0.4 million loss from the write-off of a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs.
On November 5, 2025, The Company entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The First Amendment increases the maximum consolidated leverage ratio permitted thereunder to 3.75:1.00, with a step-up to 4.25:1.00 following a designated acquisition and revised the Company's consolidated leverage ratio definition (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) allowing for the use of up to $100 million unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as a reduction to consolidated funded indebtedness (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
The borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at the Base Rate (as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging between zero and 0.75% per annum, determined by reference to the our consolidated leverage ratio, or SOFR, SONIA or EURIBOR, as applicable, plus a margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% per annum, determined by reference to our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, we are obligated to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility.
The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among others: (i) limitations on fundamental changes involving the Company and its subsidiaries; (ii) limitations on the disposition of assets; and (iii) limitations on indebtedness, investments, and liens. The Agreement also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial maintenance covenants on a quarterly basis, including maintaining a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75:1.00, with a step up to 4.25:1.00 for the four consecutive quarters following certain acquisitions with an aggregate consideration greater than or equal to $50.0 million.
The outstanding principal balance under the Euro Term Loans is payable inquarterly installments of €1.1 million (approximately $1.3 million), that began in September 2025, with the remaining balance due upon maturity. The U.S. Term Loans require quarterly installment payments of $0.5 million starting in September 2026, increasing to $0.9 million beginning in September 2027, with the remaining balance also due upon maturity. The Company may make additional principal payments at any time, which will reduce the next scheduled installment. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be repaid at any time prior to maturity.
As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal under the Company’s term loan facilities are scheduled to be repaid as follows (in thousands):
| Principal Amount | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $6,242 |

| 2029 | 9,055 |
| 2030 | 116,525 |
| Total debt repayments | $148,994 |
The Company may be required to prepay outstanding loans under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the net proceeds from certain asset dispositions and incurrence of certain debt. At the election of the Company, and so long as no default shall have occurred, the Company may reinvest all, or any portion, of the net proceeds from such asset dispositions or incurrence of debt within a year.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $850.0 million additional borrowing capacity available under the revolving credit facility. Excluding commitment fees under the revolving credit facility, the weighted average interest rate for the Senior Credit Facilities was approximately 4.11% as of December 31, 2025. The commitment fee rate for the unused commitments under the revolving credit facility was approximately 0.25% as of December 31, 2025.

The Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by Novanta Inc., Novanta Corporation, NDS Surgical Imaging LLC, Novanta Medical Technologies Corp., Novanta Medical USA, Inc, Novanta Europe GmbH, Novanta U.K. Investments Holding Limited, Novanta Technologies U.K. Limited, ATI Industrial Automation, Inc., ATI Industrial Mexico, LLC, Motion Solutions Parent Corp, and Bearings Engineers, Inc. (collectively, “Guarantors”). Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of the principal, interest and fees under the Senior Credit Facilities, when due and payable, whether at maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise. In addition, Guarantors guarantee the due and punctual payment, fees and interest on the overdue principal of the Senior Credit Facilities and the due and punctual performance of all obligations of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Furthermore, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees that in the event of any extension, renewal, amendment, refinancing or modification of any of the Senior Credit Facilities, amounts due will be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities or any collections from, or payments made by or on behalf of, any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor of its pro rata share based on the adjusted net assets of each Guarantor. If at any time any payment of any of the obligations of the Guarantors is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, a Guarantor or otherwise, the Guarantees will continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made.

Liens
The Company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are secured, on a senior basis, by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Novanta Inc. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company allocated the deferred financing costs between the term loan and the revolving credit facility based on the maximum borrowing capacity and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Senior Credit Facilities. Non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs was $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31,2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Unamortized deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction to the debt balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value of Debt
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the Company’s debt approximated its fair value based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same maturities. The fair value of the Company’s debt is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.
- Tangible Equity Unit (“TEU”) Offering
On November 12, 2025 the Company issued 12,650,000 of its 6.50% tangible equity units (the“Units”) at a public offering price of $50.00 per Unit, for an aggregate offering of $632.5 million. The Company received proceeds of $613.1 million after the deduction of the underwriters fees and other issuance costs. Each Unit is comprised of a prepaid stock purchase contract and a senior amortizing note with an initial principal amount of $8.74, due November 1, 2028 (“Amortizing Note”).
Each Unit may be legally separated into the two components, both of which are freestanding instruments and separate units of account. The Company allocated the proceeds from the issuance of the Units to the purchase contracts and amortizing notes based on the relative fair values of the respective components, determined as of the date of issuance of the Units. The Company recognized the issuance of the purchase contract portion of the Units, net of issuance costs, as additional paid-in-capital on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company separately recognized the amortizing notes portion of the Units, net of issuance costs, as long-term debt, with payments expected in the next twelve months reflected in current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Units were allocated to equity and debt based on the relative fair value of the respective components each Unit as follows:
| Equity Component | Debt Component | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value per unit | $41.26 | $8.74 | $50.00 |
| Gross proceeds | 521,939 | 110,561 | 632,500 |
| Less: Issuance costs | 16,011 | 3,392 | 19,403 |
| Net proceeds | $505,928 | $107,169 | $613,097 |
Unless settled early in accordance with the terms of the instruments and subject to postponement in certain limited circumstances, each prepaid stock purchase contract will automatically settle on November 1, 2028 (the mandatory settlement date) for a number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price (“VWAPs”) of the Company’s common stock on each of the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately preceding November 1, 2028 (applicable market value) with reference to the following settlement rates:
| Applicable Market Value | Common Stock Issued |
|---|---|
| Equal to or greater than $134.0842 | 0.3729 shares (minimum settlement rate) |
| Less than $134.0842 but greater than $107.26 | $50 divided by applicable market value |
| Less than or equal to $107.26 | 0.4662 shares (maximum settlement rate) |
The purchase contracts are mandatorily convertible into a minimum of 4.7 million shares or a maximum of 5.9 million shares of our common stock on the mandatory settlement date (unless redeemed by us or settled earlier at the unit holder's option). The 4.7 million minimum shares are included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding. The difference between the minimum and maximum shares represents potentially dilutive securities, which are included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding on a pro rata basis to the extent that the average applicable market value is equal to or greater than $107.26 but is less than or equal to $134.08 during the period (see Note 9).
Each Amortizing Note will bear interest at the rate of 6.30% per annum and will have a final installment payment date of November 1, 2028. On each February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, commencing on February 1, 2026, the Company will pay quarterly cash installments of $0.8125 per Amortizing Note (except for the February 1, 2026 installment payment, which will be $0.7132 per Amortizing Note), which will constitute a payment of interest and a partial repayment of principal, and which cash payment in the aggregate per year will be equivalent to 6.50% per year with respect to each $50.00 stated amount of Unit.
As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal under the Company's Amortizing Notes are scheduled to be repaid as follows (in thousands):
| Principal Amount | |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $33,870 |
| 2027 | 37,147 |
| 2028 | 39,544 |
| Total debt repayments | $110,561 |
- Leases
Most leases held by the Company expire between 2026 and 2037. In the U.K., where longer lease terms are more common, the Company has a land lease that extends through 2078. Certain leases include terms such as one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term fromone to 10 years, and options to terminate the leases withinone year. The exercise of lease renewal or termination option is at the Company’s sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes the renewal periods in the lease term when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. The depreciable life of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements is limited to the expected lease terms.

- Stockholders’ Equity and Share-Based Compensation
Preferred Shares
In May 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the Company’s articles to authorize up to 7.0 million preferred shares for future issuance. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to designate and issue one or more series of preferred shares, fix the rights, preferences and designation, as deemed necessary or advisable, relating to the preferred shares, provided that no shares of any series may be entitled to more thanone vote per share. As of December 31, 2025, no preferred shares had been issued and outstanding.
Common Shares
The Company has an unlimited number of no-par value common shares authorized for issuance. Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends, if and when declared by the Board of Directors, and to share ratably in the Company’s assets legally available for distribution to shareholders in the event of liquidation. Holders of common shares have no redemption or conversion rights.
Common Share Repurchases
The Company’s Board of Directors may approve share repurchase plans from time to time. Under these repurchase plans, shares may be repurchased at the Company’s discretion based on ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business, market prices of the Company’s common shares, and general market conditions. Shares may also be repurchased through an accelerated share purchase agreement on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Repurchases may be made under certain SEC regulations, which would permit common shares to be repurchased when the Company would otherwise be prohibited from doing so under insider trading laws. While the share repurchase plans are generally intended to offset dilution from equity awards granted to the Company’s employees and directors, the plans do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares. No time limit is typically set for the completion of the share repurchase plans, and the plans may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company expects to fund share repurchases through cash on hand and cash generated from operations.
In February 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “2020 Repurchase Plan”) authorizing the repurchase of an additional $50.0 million worth of common shares. During 2025, the Company repurchased 357 thousand shares for an aggregate purchase price of $39.3 million at an average price of $110.17 per share under the 2020 Repurchase Plan. No shares were repurchased during the years ended December 31,2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $10.2 million available for future share repurchases under the 2020 Repurchase Plan.
In September 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan (the “2025 Repurchase Plan”) authorizing the repurchase of an additional $200.0 million worth of common shares. The Company expects that share repurchases will be made under the 2025 Repurchase Plan after the 2020 Repurchase Plan is completed. As of December 31, 2025, no shares had been repurchased under the 2025 Repurchase Plan.
Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan
In November 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2010 Incentive Award Plan under which the Company may grant share-based compensation awards to employees, consultants and directors. In May 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved an amended and restated 2010 Incentive Award Plan (as amended, the “Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan”). The maximum number of shares which can be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan is 6,148,613, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan. The Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock, deferred stock units, dividend equivalents, performance awards and stock payments (collectively referred to as “Awards”). The Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan provides for specific limits on the number of shares with respect to Awards that may be granted to any one person during any calendar year and the amount of cash that can be paid with respect to Awards to any one person during any calendar year. The Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan will expire and no further Awards may be granted after May 13, 2031. As of December 31, 2025, there were 1,251,140 shares available for future Awards under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan.
Shares subject to Awards that have expired, forfeited or settled in cash, or repurchased by the Company at the same price paid by the awardee may be added back to the number of shares available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan and may be granted as new Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares will not be added back to the number of shares available for grant: (a) shares that are used to pay the exercise price for an option, (b) shares tendered or withheld to pay taxes with respect to any Award (other than options and stock appreciation rights) to the extent they exceed the number of shares with a fair market value equal to the tax liability based on minimum withholding rates, (c) shares tendered or withheld to pay taxes with respect to options and stock appreciation rights, (d) shares subject to a stock appreciation right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the stock appreciation right on exercise thereof, and (e) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options. Shares issued to satisfy Awards under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan may be previously authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or shares repurchased on the open market.
Share-Based Compensation Expense
The table below summarizes share-based compensation expense recorded in operating income for the periods indicated (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Selling, general and administrative | $22,629 | $19,885 | $21,963 |
| Research and development and engineering | 3,988 | 2,346 | 2,031 |
| Cost of revenue | 2,877 | 1,076 | 1,594 |
| Restructuring, acquisition and related costs | 44 | — | — |
| Total share-based compensation expense | $29,538 | $23,307 | $25,588 |
The expense recorded during each of the three years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 included $1.6 million, $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and deferred stock units (“DSUs”) granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding equity awards for which compensation expense will be recognized in the future consisted of time-based RSUs, performance stock units (“PSUs”) and stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan. The Company expects to record an aggregate share-based compensation expense of$45.3 million, net of estimated forfeitures, over a weighted average period of 1.90 years subsequent to December 31, 2025, for all outstanding Awards as of December 31, 2025.
Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units
The Company’s RSUs have generally been issued to employees and the Company's Board of Directors with vesting periods ranging from zero tofour years and vest based solely on service conditions. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company reduces the compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate which is based on anticipated forfeitures and actual experience.
DSUs were previously granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The compensation expense associated with the DSUs is recognized in full on the respective date of grant, as DSUs are fully vested and non-forfeitable upon grant. Outstanding DSUs are converted into common shares upon Board members' resignation or retirement from the Board. There were 40 thousand and 40 thousand DSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which were included in the calculation of weighted average basic shares outstanding for the respective period.
The table below summarizes activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 relating to restricted and deferred stock units issued and outstanding under the Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan:
| Restricted and DeferredStock Units(In thousands) | WeightedAverage GrantDate Fair Value | Weighted AverageRemaining VestingPeriod (In years) | Aggregate IntrinsicValue (1)(In thousands) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unvested at December 31, 2024 | 198 | $154.43 | ||

| Unvested at December 31, 2025 | 390 | $135.09 | 1.08 years | $46,354 |
| Expected to vest as of December 31, 2025 | 360 | $136.01 | 1.08 years | $42,784 |
(1)
The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the fair value of $118.99 per common share as of December 31, 2025 due to the fact that the restricted and deferred stock units carry a $0 purchase price.
The total fair value of restricted stock units and deferred stock units that vested in 2025, based on the market price of the underlying shares as of the date of vesting, was$12.7 million.
Performance Stock Units
The Company typically grants PSUs that are based on the Company’s financial performance metrics, market conditions, or a hybrid of company financial performance metrics and market conditions. These PSUs generally cliff vest on the first day following the end of the specified performance period.
The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of attainment-based PSUs is determined based on the Company’s financial performance metrics over the specified performance period against the targets established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range ofzero to 200% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense ratably over the performance period based on the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting at the end of the specified performance period. This probability assessment is performed quarterly and the cumulative effect of a change in the estimated compensation expense, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such determination is made.
The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of market-based PSUs is determined based on the relative market performance of the Company’s common shares compared to the Russell 2000 Index over the specified performance period using a payout formula established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range ofzero to 200% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the fair value of the market-based PSUs, determined using the Monte-Carlo valuation method as of the grant date, on a straight-line basis from the grant date to the end of the specified performance period. Compensation expense on market-based PSUs will not be affected by the number of shares that will ultimately vest at the end of the specified performance period.
The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of PSU awards that are based on the achievement of a hybrid of company financial performance metrics and market conditions (“Hybrid PSUs”) is determined based on the Company's financial performance metrics achieved over the specified performance period against the targets established by the Company's Board of Directors at the time of grant and a market-based multiplier based on the percentile ranking of the relative market performance of the Company’s common shares compared to the Russell 2000 Index companies. The payout will be in the range ofzero to 260%of the target number of shares. The Company determines the fair value of these Hybrid PSUs using the Monte-Carlo valuation method as of the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with the Hybrid PSUs ratably over the performance period based on the fair value of the PSUs as of the grant date and the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting based on the estimated achievement of the pertinent company financial performance metrics at the end ofthe specified performance period. The probability assessment is performed quarterly and the cumulative effect of a change in the estimated compensation expense, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such determination is made.

- Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company has defined contribution employee retirement savings plans in the U.S., the U.K. and Japan. The Company matches the contributions of participating employees on the basis of percentages specified in each plan. The Company’s matching contributions to the plans were $7.0 million, $6.8 million and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company maintains a frozen defined benefit pension plan in the U.K. (the “U.K. Plan”). The U.K. Plan was closed to new membership in 1997 and stopped accruing additional pension benefits for existing members in 2003. Benefits under the U.K. Plan were based on the participants’ years of service and compensation as of the date the plan was frozen in 2003, adjusted for inflation. The Company continues to fund the plan in accordance with the pension regulations in the U.K.

|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Weighted-average discount rate | 5.6% | 5.5% |
| Rate of inflation | 2.7% | 3.1% |
The discount rates used are derived from (AA) corporate bonds that have maturities approximating the terms of the pension obligations under the U.K. Plan. In estimating the expected return on plan assets, the Company considered the historical performance of the major asset classes held by the U.K. Plan and current forecasts of future rates of return for these asset classes.

Actuarial (gains)/losses in the U.K. Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, primarily resulted from changes in the discount rate assumptions.
The funded status of the U.K. Plan was included in other long term assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table reflects the total expected benefit payments to plan participants for each of the next five years and the following five years in aggregate and have been estimated based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s benefit obligations as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

In the U.K., defined benefit pension plan funding valuations are conducted every three years to determine the future level of contributions. Based on the results of the most recent valuation in 2024, the Company will not be required to contribute any additional funds for the next two years. Future annual funding contributions, if any, will be determined in the next statutory funding valuation in 2027.
Fair Value of Plan Assets
The trustee of the U.K. Plan has the fiduciary responsibilities to manage the plan assets in consultation with the Company. The overall objective is to invest plan assets in a portfolio of diversified assets, primarily through the use of institutional collective funds. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the investment strategy was gradually shifted from a balanced growth strategy that combines investments in growth assets (such as equities and credit) with investments in debt instruments that match a portion of the expected future benefit payments to a strategy that is progressively more focused on matching the benefit payments based on a series of de-risking triggers that are based on the funding level. As these triggers are hit, the assets are shifted from growth assets into fixed income investments leading to an increasingly low risk approach.
The following table summarizes the fair values of Plan assets by asset category as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):
| Asset Category | Fair Value | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | Not Subject toLeveling |

In determining its income tax provisions, the Company calculated deferred tax assets and liabilities for each separate jurisdiction. The Company then considered a number of factors, including positive and negative evidence related to the realization of its deferred tax assets, to determine whether a valuation allowance should be recognized with respect to its deferred tax assets.
The Company began to capitalize research and development (“R&D”) expenditures in 2022 in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) which requires that R&D expenditures be capitalized and amortized for income tax purposes over five years for domestic research and fifteen years for foreign research, rather than being deducted as incurred. This has the effect of increasing the Company’s cash taxes and deferred tax assets. In 2025 the Company’s deferred tax assets related to capitalized R&D expenditure increased $5.3 million, which also creates an effective tax rate benefit of 1.0% by increasing the Company's Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction.
In 2025, the Company recorded an additional $4.6 million of valuation allowance. In 2024, the Company recorded an additional $1.9 million of valuation allowance.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had valuation allowances on Canada net operating and capital loss carryforwards, U.K. capital loss carryforwards, certain U.S. state net operating losses, and state and foreign tax credits where the Company has determined that it is not more likely than not the future benefit would be realized. In conjunction with the Company’s ongoing review of its actual results and anticipated future earnings, the Company continuously reassesses the possibility of releasing the valuation allowance currently in place on its deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $7.6 million (tax effected). Of this amount, approximately $7.1 million relates to Canada and begins to expire starting in 2033 and had a full valuation allowance. The remainder $0.5 million relates to various U.S. jurisdictions, which will begin to expire in 2026 through 2045. In addition, the Company had capital loss carryforwards of $5.9 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely and had a full valuation allowance. Of this amount, $4.9 million, and $1.0 million related to Canada, and the U.K., respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $6.8 million (tax effected). Of this amount, approximately $6.5 million relates to Canada and begins to expire starting in 2033 and had a full valuation allowance. The remainder $0.3 million relates to various U.S. jurisdictions, of which $0.1 million can be carried forward indefinitely and the remaining $0.2 million will begin to expire in 2025 through 2036, on which the Company records a valuation allowance of $0.1 million. In addition, the Company had capital loss carryforwards of $5.8 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely and had a full valuation allowance. Of this amount, $4.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.1 million relates to Canada, the U.K and other foreign jurisdictions, respectively.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had tax credit carryforwards of approximately $5.8 million, before accounting for $1.0 million of uncertain tax positions recorded against the credit carryforward. Approximately $1.5 million relate to U.S. Federal credits which will expire in 2045, and $2.7 million relate to U.S. state credits and will expire through 2046, and on which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance. $0.5 million relates to the U.S. Federal foreign tax credits which will expire through 2034, and on which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance. Approximately $0.4 million relate to other foreign jurisdictions. The remaining $0.7 million tax credit carryforwards were related to Canada and can be carried forward indefinitely. The Canadian credit carryforwards also have a full valuation allowance recorded against them.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had tax credit carryforwards of approximately $3.8 million, before accounting for $0.6 million of uncertain tax positions recorded against the credit carryforward. Approximately $2.6 million relates to U.S. state credits and will expire through 2039, and on which the Company maintains a full valuation allowance, $0.5 million relates to the U.S. federal foreign tax credits which will expire through 2034. The remaining $0.7 million relates to Canada and can be carried forward indefinitely. The U.S. federal and Canadian tax credit carryforwards also have a full valuation allowance recorded against them.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had disallowed business interest expense carryforwards of $0.1 million under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code. These carryforwards have no expiration date and can be utilized indefinitely to offset future taxable income, subject to the limitations of Section 163(j).
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had disallowed business interest expense carryforwards of $1.5 million under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code. These carryforwards have no expiration date and can be utilized indefinitely to offset future taxable income, subject to the limitations of Section 163(j).
Income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting purposes over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in nature. This amount becomes taxable upon the repatriation of assets from a subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of a subsidiary. The estimated unrecognized income tax and foreign withholding tax liability on these undistributed earnings is approximately $5.4 million.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $4.4 million of which $3.7 million would favorably affect the effective tax rate if benefited. The Company believes there are no jurisdictions in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Furthermore, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all significant income tax uncertainties.
The reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
| Balance at December 31, 2022 | $4,249 |

- Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had purchase commitments primarily for inventory purchases of$160.3 million. These purchase commitments are expected to be incurred as follows: $155.8 million in 2026, $3.9 million in 2027 and $0.6 million in 2028.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure on a quarterly basis. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of the probability of an exposure and the determination as to whether the exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to any pending claims and litigation and may revise its estimates. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements but there can be no assurance that any such claims, or any similar claims, would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of its operations, the Company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to counterparties in transactions such as business dispositions, sale of assets, sale of products and operating leases. Additionally, the by-laws of the Company require it to indemnify certain current or former directors, officers, and employees of the Company against expenses incurred by them in connection with each proceeding in which they are involved as a result of serving or having served in certain capacities. Indemnification is not available with respect to a proceeding as to which it has been adjudicated that the person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that the action was in the best interests of the Company. Certain of the Company’s officers and directors are also a party to indemnification agreements with the Company. These indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that the director and officer shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such officer or director in connection with any proceeding by reason of their relationship with the Company. In addition, the indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by such director or officer in connection with any proceeding covered by the indemnification agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein and to the extent such advancement is not prohibited by law. The indemnification agreements also set out the procedures for determining entitlement to indemnification, the requirements relating to notice and defense of claims for which indemnification is sought, the procedures for enforcement of indemnification rights, the limitations on and exclusions from indemnification, and the minimum levels of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to be maintained by the Company.
On July 1, 2013, the Company provided a Guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in favor of the trustees of the U.K. Plan with respect to all present and future obligations and liabilities, whether actual or contingent and whether owed jointly or severally and in any capacity whatsoever, of Novanta Technologies U.K. Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Novanta Inc.
Credit Risks and Other Uncertainties
The Company maintains financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. From time to time, certain of these instruments may subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk whereby one institution may hold a significant portion of the cash and cash equivalents, or one customer may represent a large portion of the accounts receivable balances.
As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, one customer represented approximately 17% and 13%, respectively, of the Company's outstanding accounts receivable balance. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally minimized because of the diversification of the Company’s operations, as well as its large customer base and its geographic dispersion.
Certain components and materials included in the Company’s products are currently purchased from single source suppliers. There can be no assurance that a disruption of the supply of such components and materials would not create substantial manufacturing delays and additional cost to the Company.
The Company’s operations involve a number of other risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the effects of general economic conditions, rapidly changing technologies, and international operations.
