NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
- Basis of Presentation
Novanta Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, referred to as “Novanta”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) 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.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and the provisions of Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any future periods.
The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared for each quarterly period ending on the Friday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, with the exception of the fourth quarter which always ends on December 31.
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.
Evaluation of Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Other than the items discussed within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, no matters were identified that required adjustment to the Consolidated Financial Statements or additional disclosure.

- Revenue
The Company accounts for its revenue transactions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 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.
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 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 & 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. 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 standard warranty periods for the Company’s products are typically 12 months to 36 months. The Company recognizes estimated liabilities associated with standard warranty periods for its products in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450, “Contingencies,” as the Company has the ability to ascertain the likelihood of the liabilities and can reasonably estimate the amount of the liabilities. A provision for the estimated cost related to standard warranties is recorded as cost of revenue at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate of the 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 liabilities are recorded at that time, with offsetting adjustments to cost of revenue.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
The Company expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the expected amortization period is typically 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 transfer of a promised good to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good are 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 April 3, 2026 and December 31, 2025, contract liabilities were$17.2 million and $11.1 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 three months ended April 3, 2026 is primarily due to cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, partially offset by $8.3 million of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2025.
Disaggregated Revenue
See Note 17 for the Company’s disaggregation of revenue by segment, geography and end market. The following table presents revenues disaggregated by the capabilities of the underlying products and technologies during thethree months ended April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025, respectively (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||

| Total Revenue | $257,707 | $233,366 |
- Business Combinations
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.
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. The purchase price allocation for the Keonn acquisition is subject to revision as additional information about fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. Additional information that existed as of the acquisition date but is currently unknown may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. There have been no changes to the purchase price allocation for the Keonn acquisition as of April 3, 2026 from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
The operating results of Keonn were included in the Company's results of operations beginning on April 8, 2025. Keonn contributed revenues of $9.2 million and a loss before income taxes of $0.8 million to the Company's operating results for thethree months ended April 3, 2026. The loss before income taxes from Keonn for the three months ended April 3, 2026 included amortization of purchased intangible assets of $1.0 million.
Acquisition Costs
The Company recognizedno acquisition-related costs for thethree months ended April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025 related to the acquisitions completed during those periods. Acquisition-related costs consist primarily of finders’ fees, legal, valuation and other professional or consulting fees. Any acquisition-related costs incurred would be included in restructuring and acquisition related costs in the consolidated statement of operations.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss were as follows (in thousands):
| Total Accumulated | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Other | Cumulative | Pension | |
| Comprehensive | Translation | Liability | |
| Loss | Adjustments | Adjustments | |
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | $(3,004) | $3,472 | $(6,476) |
| Other comprehensive income (loss) | (8,967) | (5,914) | (3,053) |
| Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss(1) | 253 | — | 253 |
| Balance at April 3, 2026 | $(11,718) | $(2,442) | $(9,276) |
(1)The amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss were included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.
In January 2026, the Company entered into an approximately$26.7 million buy-in contract covering the benefit obligations of its frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan. The transaction was funded from existing plan assets and did not result in a change to the plan’s projected benefit obligation. Under the buy-in contract, substantially all of the plan’s assets were used to purchase a group annuity contract, which is intended to reduce the plan’s exposure to investment volatility risks.
The Company expects the transaction to progress to a corresponding buy-out in the second half of 2027. A buy-out is expected to result in a pension settlement, and if a settlement is triggered, the Company would recognize a non-cash settlement charge in earnings for the remaining plan balances, including amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
- 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 period. 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 contracts related to the tangible equity units are included in the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding. See Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of the stock purchase contracts related to the tangible equity units.
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, stock options and performance-based restricted stock units, are determined using the treasury stock method. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered contingently issuable shares, the vesting of which may be based on achievement of specified company financial performance metrics (“attainment-based PSUs”) or a hybrid of company financial performance metrics and market conditions (“hybrid PSUs”). The dilutive effects of attainment-based and hybrid PSUs are included in the weighted average common share calculation based on the cumulative achievement against the performance targets only when the 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 (amounts in thousands, except per share data):
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| April 3, | March 28, | |
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Numerators: | ||
| Net income | $21,099 | $21,208 |
| Denominators: | ||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding— basic | 40,425 | 36,024 |
| Dilutive common share equivalents | 733 | 106 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding— diluted | 41,158 | 36,130 |
| Antidilutive common share equivalents excluded from above | 304 | 175 |
| Earnings per Common Share: | ||
| Basic | $0.52 | $0.59 |
| Diluted | $0.51 | $0.59 |
For the three months ended April 3, 2026,279 thousand shares 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 April 3, 2026.
For the three months ended March 28, 2025,221 thousand shares 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 March 28, 2025.
- Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” 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 measured 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. The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is reported either in other current assets or in other current liabilities as of the end of the reporting period.
Contingent Considerations
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 Company made the first installment payment of €3.8 million ($4.4 million) in March 2026. Based on the revenue performance and revenue projections as of April 3, 2026, the Company madeno further adjustments to the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration during thethree months ended April 3, 2026. The installment payment has been reported as cash outflows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the respective periods.

- 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 these derivative financial instruments substantially offset losses and gains on the underlying hedged exposures and are included in foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Furthermore, the Company manages its exposures 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 April 3, 2026, the aggregate notional amount and fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was$138.1 million and a net gain of less than $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate 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.
The Company recognized an aggregate net gain of $2.3 million for the three months ended April 3, 2026 and an aggregate net gain of $0.3 million for thethree months ended March 28, 2025. These amounts were included in foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.
- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for a business combination exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The Company tests its goodwill balances for impairment annually 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 performed the most recent annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2025 and notedno impairment.

Senior Credit Facilities
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 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. The Company made principal payments of €1.1 million ($1.3 million) towards the Term Loans during thethree months ended April 3, 2026. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be repaid at any time prior to maturity.
The Company is required to satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of April 3, 2026.
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.
Fair Value of Debt
As of April 3, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Company’s debt approximated its fair value based on current rates available to the Company for debt of similar maturities. The fair value of the Company’s debt is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.
- Tangible Equity Units
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 $613.0 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 | 3,455 | 19,466 |
| Net proceeds | $505,928 | $107,106 | $613,034 |
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 the Company’s 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 5).
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. Beginning with the installment paid on February 1, 2026 (which amounted to $0.7132 per Amortizing Note), and continuing on each February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 thereafter, the Company will pay quarterly cash installments of $0.8125 per Amortizing Note. Each installment constitutes 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. The Company made principal payments of $7.5 million towards the Amortizing Notes during the three months ended April 3, 2026.
- 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 one or more options to renew the lease terms fromone toten years and options to terminate the leases withinone year. The exercise of lease renewal or termination options is at the Company’s sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewal options 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 lives of the right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements are limited to the expected lease terms.

- Preferred and Common Shares 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 April 3, 2026, no preferred shares had been issued and outstanding.
Common Share Repurchases
In February 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “2020 Repurchase Plan”), authorizing the repurchase of $50.0 million worth of the Company’s common shares. During the three months ended April 3, 2026, the Company repurchased 88 thousand shares under the 2020 Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $10.2 million and an average price of $116.13 per share. As of April 3, 2026, the Company had completed 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. During thethree months ended April 3, 2026, the Company repurchased 71 thousand shares under the 2025 Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $8.4 million and an average price of $118.08 per share.

Share-Based Compensation Expense
The table below summarizes share-based compensation expense recorded in the consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| April 3, | March 28, | |
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Selling, general and administrative | $7,602 | $6,136 |
| Research and development and engineering | 1,390 | 615 |
| Cost of revenue | 804 | 349 |
| Total share-based compensation expense | $9,796 | $7,100 |
Share-based compensation expense reported in selling, general and administrative expenses included expenses related to restricted stock units granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors of $1.6 millionand $1.6 million during thethree months ended April 3, 2026 and March 28, 2025, respectively. As of April 3, 2026, the Company’s outstanding equity awards for which compensation expense will be recognized in the future consisted of time-based restricted stock units (“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 $64.6 million, net of estimated forfeitures, over a weighted average period of 2.23 years subsequent to April 3, 2026, for all outstanding Awards as of April 3, 2026.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have generally been issued 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 historical forfeiture experience.
The table below summarizes activities relating to RSUs issued and outstanding under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan during thethree months ended April 3, 2026:
| Shares(In thousands) | WeightedAverage GrantDate Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested at December 31, 2025 | 390 | $135.09 |
| Granted | 162 | $141.84 |
| Vested | (85) | $143.86 |
| Forfeited | (12) | $132.87 |
| Unvested at April 3, 2026 | 455 | $136.28 |
| Expected to vest as of April 3, 2026 | 418 |
The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the three months ended April 3, 2026 was$11.7 million based on the market price of the underlying shares on the date of vesting.
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 thecumulative 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 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 of the 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.
The table below summarizes the activities relating to the performance-based awards issued and outstanding under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan during thethree months ended April 3, 2026:
| Shares(In thousands) | WeightedAverage Grant-Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested at December 31, 2025 | 303 | $153.13 |

| Expected to vest as of April 3, 2026 | 216 |
(1)The amount shown represents performance adjustments related to the performance-based awards vested during the three months ended April 3, 2026.
The unvested PSUs are shown at target payout levels in the table above. As of April 3, 2026, the maximum number of common shares that could be earned under these PSU grants was approximately 607 thousand shares.
The total fair value of PSUs that vested during the three months ended April 3, 2026 was $7.6 million based on the market price of the underlying common shares on the date of vesting.
The grant-date fair value per unit of the hybrid PSUs granted during thethree months ended April 3, 2026 was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method with the following assumptions:
| Grant-date stock price | $145.96 |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 40.80% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.44% |
| Expected annual dividend yield | — |

| Expected to vest as of April 3, 2026 | 15 | $157.48 | 4.89 years | $— |
(1)The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the closing market price of $117.04 per common share as of April 3, 2026 and the exercise price of the stock options. It excludes the effect of stock options that have a zero or negative intrinsic value.
- Income Taxes
The Company determines its estimated annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period based on full year forecasted pre-tax income and facts known at that time. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax income at the end of each interim period with the cumulative effect of any changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate being recorded in the period in which the changes are determined. The tax effect of significant unusual items is reflected in the period in which they occur. Since the Company is incorporated in Canada, it is required to use Canada’s federal and provincial combined statutory tax rate of 29.0% in the determination of the estimated annual effective tax rate.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance on balances of certain U.S. state net operating losses, credits and certain non-U.S. tax attributes that the Company has determined are not more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance is required when, based upon an assessment of various factors, including recent operating loss history, anticipated future earnings, and prudent and reasonable tax planning strategies, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not 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 adding a new or additional valuation allowance or releasing the valuation allowance currently in place on its deferred tax assets.
The Company’s effective tax rate of 19.9% for the three months ended April 3, 2026 differs from the Canadian federal and provincial combined statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated U.S. tax benefits for Foreign-Derived Deduction Eligible Income (“FDDEI”) (formerly, Foreign Derived Intangible Income, “FDII”), a decrease in the Canadian valuation allowance, R&D tax credits, and U.K. patent box deductions; partially offset by various non-deductible transaction-related and compensation expenses, Pillar Two tax, and uncertain tax position accruals.
The Company’s effective tax rate of 19.7% for the three months ended March 28, 2025 differs from the Canadian federal and provincial combined statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions and R&D tax credits, partially offset by disallowed compensation deductions, withholding taxes, non-deductible expenses and an estimated Pillar Two inclusion.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
There have been no material changes to the Company’s purchase commitments since December 31, 2025.
Legal Contingencies
The Company is subject to various 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 probability and the determination as to whether an 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. When a material loss contingency is considered reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the potential loss or a range of potential losses, if such an estimate can be reasonably made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. The Company does not believe that the outcome of outstanding 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 or 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 director or officer 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.
