Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Onto Innovation Inc. (the “Company,” “Onto Innovation,” “we,” “our” or “us”) and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to current-period presentation. The interim results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2026. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 3, 2026 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K.
On February 18, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) changed the Company’s fiscal year-end from a 52-53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 to a December 31 fiscal year-end. The Company made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and will not adjust operating results for prior periods. Additionally, the Company has adopted calendar quarter fiscal period ends commencing with the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The change affects the prior year comparability of the Company’s fiscal quarters in 2025 and has resulted in shifts in the quarterly periods, which is not expected to have a material impact on our quarterly financial results. Our fiscal year ended January 3, 2026 was a 53-week fiscal year. The third quarter of the fiscal year ended January 3, 2026 ended on September 27, 2025. Throughout this document, the three month period ended September 30, 2026 represents the quarterly period that commenced on July 1, 2026, and ended on September 30, 2026. The three month period ended September 27, 2025 represents the quarterly period that commenced on June 29, 2025 and ended on September 27, 2025. The nine month period ended September 30, 2026 represents the period that commenced on January 4, 2026, the first day of our fiscal year, and ended on September 30, 2026. The nine month period ended September 27, 2025 represents the period that commenced on December 29, 2024 and ended on September 27, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates made by management include excess and obsolete inventory, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, recoverability and useful lives of property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, recoverability of goodwill, recoverability of deferred tax assets, allowance for credit losses, liabilities for product warranty, share-based payments and liabilities for tax uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors which the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company may engage third-party valuation specialists to assist with estimates related to the valuation of financial instruments, assets and stock awards associated with various contractual arrangements. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and significant judgment. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or circumstances and such differences could be material.
Significant Accounting Policies
In addition to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2026, the Company has adopted the following accounting policy during the period.
Equity Investments
Investments in equity securities in which a company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, unless the company elects the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, must be elected at initial recognition, and is irrevocable once made.
For equity securities for which the fair value option has been elected, the investment is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with all changes in fair value recognized in net income. For investments denominated in foreign currency, the investment is remeasured to U.S. dollars at the closing spot exchange rate at each reporting date, and the change in the U.S. dollar fair value attributable to both the change in the security’s quoted price and the change in exchange rates is recognized in net income without bifurcation. No amounts related to these investments are recorded in other comprehensive income. Dividends are recognized as income when the Company’s right to receive payment is established and do not reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
Upon initial recognition, the Company elected the fair value option for its investment in Rigaku Holdings Corporation (“Rigaku”). For further information, see Note 2, “Acquisitions and Investments,” and Note 3, “Fair Value Measurements.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted or Effective
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements,” which addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the ASC and makes other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the ASC that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU during the quarter ended June 30, 2026. In connection with the adoption, the Company elected an accounting policy to allocate the excess of the repurchase price over par for all shares repurchased and retired to additional paid-in capital on a prospective basis.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which simplifies the estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance allows all entities to use a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company adopted this ASU during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and elected the practical expedient. The adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Updates Not Yet Effective
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements,” to clarify and reorganize U.S. GAAP interim reporting guidance to improve navigability, applicability, and consistency without changing the fundamental nature or volume of required interim disclosures. This amendment clarifies when ASC 270 is applicable, establishes a disclosure principle requiring disclosure of material events or changes occurring since the most recent annual reporting period, and consolidates into ASC Topic 270 a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required by other codification topics. The amendment also clarifies the form and content of interim financial statements, including guidance for condensed interim reporting. The amendment is effective for the Company for interim periods in 2028, with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities,” to establish specific guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received to reduce diversity and increase consistency amongst business entities in accounting for such grants. This amendment amends ASC Topic 832 to require that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized as income until it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received, with any grant related to an asset to be purchased, constructed or acquired such as long-lived assets or inventory to be recognized on the balance sheet as either deferred income or as an adjustment to the cost basis of the related asset, or the cost accumulation approach, as such costs are incurred. Any grant income or deferred income shall be recognized in earnings on a systematic and rational basis over the periods in which a business entity recognizes as expenses the costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, whereas any grants accounted for using the cost accumulation approach will not have a direct subsequent recognition in earnings, but rather reduced depreciation or amortization in accounting for the related asset. Entities are also required to present grants recognized in earnings separately under other income or deducted from the related expense, and provide disclosures of the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and the significant terms and conditions of the grant. The amendment is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2029, with early adoption and multiple transition methods permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements,” to amend certain aspects of its hedge accounting guidance to better reflect an entity’s risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance expands the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions and increases the variable price components eligible to be designated as the hedged risk in the forecasted purchase or sale of nonfinancial assets. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2025-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which removes all references to software development stages and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The ASU may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or through a modified transition approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, selling expense and depreciation expense within the notes to financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 2. Acquisitions and Investments
On August 10, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of 61,123,436 shares (27% of the issued and outstanding shares) of common stock of Rigaku for $719.5 million from Atom Investment, L.P., an affiliate of The Carlyle Group (the “Rigaku Transaction”), funded with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Company’s 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (“2031 Notes”) and cash on hand. Rigaku’s common stock is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In connection with the Rigaku Transaction, the Company received the right to nominate one director to Rigaku’s board of directors.
The Company’s 27% ownership interest results in a presumption of significant influence under ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. At initial recognition, the Company irrevocably elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for its investment in Rigaku. The Company elected the fair value option because Rigaku’s shares are publicly traded and have a readily determinable fair value, and management believes fair value provides the most relevant and transparent measure of the economic value of the investment. The Company does not control Rigaku and does not consolidate Rigaku’s financial results.
The investment in Rigaku is presented as “Investment in Rigaku,” a non-current asset, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date based on the quoted market price of Rigaku’s common stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, translated into U.S. dollars at the closing spot exchange rate. All changes in the U.S. dollar fair value of the investment, including amounts attributable to changes in Rigaku’s share price and changes in the Japanese yen to U.S. dollar exchange rate, are recognized in net income within “Unrealized gain (loss) on investment in Rigaku” under “Other income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The components are not bifurcated, and no amounts related to this investment are recorded in other comprehensive income. Dividends declared by Rigaku, if any, are recognized as dividend income when the Company’s right to receive payment is established and do not reduce the carrying amount of the investment.
Under the fair value option, the Company does not recognize its proportionate share of Rigaku’s net income or loss, amortization of acquisition-date basis difference, or equity method adjustments for Rigaku’s other comprehensive income items. Changes in the fair value of the investment are recognized currently in net income but are not taxable or deductible until realized. The resulting difference between the carrying amount of the investment and its tax basis is a temporary difference, for which the Company recognizes deferred taxes.
The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s investment in Rigaku:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Balance, beginning of the period | $— |
| Initial recognition at acquisition date | 719,548 |
| Unrealized gain (loss) on investment in Rigaku | (40,841) |
| Balance, end of period | $678,707 |
The following table presents the unrealized gain (loss) on the Company’s investment in Rigaku recognized in net income:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, | September 27, | September 30, | September 27, | |
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |

| Total unrealized gain (loss) on investment in Rigaku | $(40,841) | $— | $(40,841) | $— |
All amounts presented above relate to the investment in Rigaku, which was held as of September 30, 2026. No amounts were realized through sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. The Company recognized $3.4 million and $5.1 million of costs directly related to the Rigaku Transaction during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, which are recorded in “General and administrative” expense.
The Company evaluates the significance of its investment in Rigaku under Regulation S-X. The investment has not met the 20% significance threshold. Summarized income statement information of Rigaku is not required to be presented in this Form 10-Q under Rule 10-01(b)(1).
Completed Acquisition
On November 17, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Semilab USA LLC (“Semilab USA”), pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of June 27, 2025, by and among the Company, Semilab International Zrt. (the “Seller”), Semilab Zrt. and Semilab USA, as amended by the Amendment to Equity Purchase Agreement, dated October 9, 2025.
The preliminary Acquisition Date fair value of consideration transferred consisted of the following:
| At Acquisition Date | |
|---|---|
| (in thousands, except per share data) | |
| Cash paid | $382,873 |
| Issuance of common stock (1) | 81,697 |
| Cash paid to extinguish Semilab USA’s debt | 55,892 |
| Total purchase consideration | $520,462 |
| (1) The fair value is based on the issuance of 641,771 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock") with a per share value of $127.30 on the Acquisition Date. | |
The Company accounted for the acquisition of Semilab USA in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values. The Company determined the estimated fair values with the assistance of valuations performed by a third-party specialist, discounted cash flow analysis, and estimates made by management.
The acquisition strengthens the Company’s capabilities in inline wafer contamination monitoring, materials characterization, and unique surface charge metrology. The goodwill recognized reflects the anticipated benefits from expanding the Company’s product portfolio and its growth opportunities in both new and existing markets. As the purchase price exceeded the fair value of Semilab USA’s identifiable net assets, goodwill was recorded in connection with the transaction. The Company does not expect the goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.
A portion of the overall purchase price was allocated to acquired intangible assets. Amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets is not deductible for tax purposes. Therefore, a deferred tax liability of $46.6 million was established primarily for the future amortization of these intangibles and is included in “other long-term liabilities” in the table below.
The inventory fair value step‑up is non‑recurring and is recognized as an increase to cost of revenue as the related inventory is sold. For the year ended January 3, 2026, the Company recognized $4.0 million of expense related to the step‑up. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized $7.3 million ofexpense related to the step-up.
Theremaining balance of approximately$1.8 million is expected to be recognized over the estimated sell‑through period ofone year following the Acquisition Date.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
| At Acquisition Date | |
|---|---|
| (in thousands) | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $8,876 |
| Accounts receivable | 26,129 |
| Inventories | 33,838 |
| Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 843 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 2,058 |
| Intangible assets | 210,000 |
| Other assets | 3,592 |
| Accounts payable | (487) |
| Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | (8,270) |
| Other long-term liabilities | (51,668) |
| Total identifiable net assets | 224,911 |
| Goodwill | 295,551 |
| Total purchase consideration | $520,462 |
During the third quarter of 2026, the Company recorded measurement-period adjustments related to the finalization of certain acquired net assets and closing consideration, resulting in a $17.9 million decrease in goodwill.
The following table sets forth the preliminary amounts, allocated to the intangible assets identified and their estimated useful lives as of the Acquisition Date:
| At Acquisition Date | ||
|---|---|---|
| Fair Value | Weighted Average Useful Life | |
| (in thousands) | (in years) | |
| Developed technology | $103,000 | 7.0 |
| Customer relationships | 82,000 | 6.0 |
| Backlog | 20,000 | 1.3 |
| Tradename | 5,000 | 8.0 |
| Total amortizable intangible assets | $210,000 | |
The developed technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach, which estimates value based on the royalty a market participant would pay to license the technology. Under this approach, the after‑tax royalty savings attributable to ownership represent the economic benefit of the asset. The key assumptions used in the valuation included the estimated royalty rate, projected revenue attributable to the developed technology, the expected useful life of the asset, and a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the projected cash flows. The assets are amortized on a straight‑line basis over their estimated 7‑year useful life, which approximates the expected pattern of economic benefits.
The customer relationships and backlog intangible assets were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach, which isolates the net cash flows attributable to each asset and discounts them to present value. Significant assumptions included projected customer revenue and attrition rates, estimated operating margins, contributory asset charges, the expected useful life of the asset, and a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the asset‑specific cash flows. The customer relationship asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its 6‑year estimated life to reflect the pattern of expected economic benefits. The backlog asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its 1.3 year estimated life to reflect the pattern of expected economic benefits.
There were no significant contingencies assumed as part of the acquisition.
The purchase price allocation for the Semilab USA acquisition is preliminary and reflects management’s current estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with ASC 805. The Company is still evaluating certain items within the measurement period. Accordingly, the provisional amounts recognized for the acquired net assets are subject to change during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the Acquisition Date). Any such revisions or changes may be material.
From the Acquisition Date through January 3, 2026, Semilab USA contributed $8.6 million of revenue and an operating loss of $6.2 million to the Company’s consolidated results. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Semilab USA contributed $22.5 million and $68.6 million of revenue, respectively, and an operating loss of $2.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively, to the Company’s consolidated results.

Items classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s marketable securities, comprised of Level 2 available-for-sale debt securities, are valued using observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The foreign currency forward contracts are primarily measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers.
There were no impairments of the Company’s assets measured and carried at fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 27, 2025. There were no changes in valuation techniques during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 27, 2025.
Following the Rigaku Transaction, the Company owns shares of common stock of Rigaku, which is publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The investment is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the unadjusted quoted market price in the active market for the identical security, translated into U.S. dollars at the closing spot exchange rate at the reporting date, and is therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s investment in Rigaku is subject to contractual transfer restrictions for three years following the August 10, 2026 closing, subject to customary exceptions. Because the restrictions apply to the Company as the holder and are not characteristics of the shares, they are not reflected in the fair value measurement. At September 30, 2026, the fair value of the investment was $678.7 million. See Note 2, “Acquisitions and Investments” for information regarding the Company's fair value option election and the gains and losses recognized in net income.
There wereno transfers into or out of Level 1 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026. There wereno impairments of the Company's equity investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 27, 2025. There wereno changes in valuation techniques during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 27, 2025.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company reports its financial instruments at fair value with the exception of its 2031 Notes. The estimated fair value of the 2031 Notes was determined based on the trading price of the 2031 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. The Company classifies the fair value of the 2031 Notes as a Level 2 measurement, as the 2031 Notes are not actively traded in the market. On or after March 1, 2031, until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture governing the 2031 Notes, which is further described in Note 7 below) immediately before the maturity date, the 2031 Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time.
At September 30, 2026 the carrying value, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, and estimated fair values of the 2031 Notes are as follows:
| Carrying Value, net | Estimated Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||
| Senior Convertible Notes: | ||
| 2031 Notes | $1,473,179 | $1,673,190 |
| Total senior convertible notes | $1,473,179 | $1,673,190 |
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
At September 30, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company held investments of $8.0 million in the equity of a privately-held company. This non-marketable equity investment is recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis and is classified as a Level 3 asset in “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This non-marketable equity investment is generally accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost, less impairments, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes and is periodically assessed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that decline in value may have occurred. As of September 30, 2026, there have been no impairments recorded for the non-marketable equity investment.
NOTE 4. Marketable Securities

| Total marketable securities | $292,649 | $855 | $(1) | $293,503 |
As of September 30, 2026, all of the Company’s marketable securities are available to the Company for use in its current operations. As a result, the Company has classified all of these securities as current assets even though the stated maturity of some individual securities may be one year or more beyond the balance sheet date. The following table shows the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities, by contractual maturity, as of September 30, 2026:
| September 30, 2026 | January 3, 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fair Value | Fair Value | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Due within one year | $713,080 | $233,043 |
| Due after one through five years | 137,714 | 60,460 |
| Total marketable securities | $850,794 | $293,503 |
The aggregate fair value of marketable securities with unrealized losses was $702.6 million and $21.2 million as of September 30, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively. All unrealized losses are reported in Stockholders’ Equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” As of September 30, 2026 and January 3, 2026,229 investments and 11 investments were in an unrealized loss position, respectively, for less than a year and these losses are considered temporary. As of September 30, 2026 and January 3, 2026, no investments andtwo investments were in an unrealized loss position, respectively, for greater than a year. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of their amortized cost, which may not occur until maturity. The Company expects these securities are subject to minimal credit risk. As a result, the Company did not record any charges for credit-related impairments for its available-for-sale securities for thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and September 27, 2025.
NOTE 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company, when it considers it to be appropriate, enters into forward contracts to hedge the economic exposure arising from foreign currency denominated transactions. These contracts are typically denominated in euro, Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen, Korean won, Singapore dollars and Taiwanese dollars. Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore, the change in fair value is recorded in “Other (expense) income, net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company records its forward contracts at fair value in either “Prepaid expenses and other current assets, net” or “Other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The dollar equivalent of the U.S. dollar forward contracts notional amount and related fair values as of September 30, 2026 and January 3, 2026 were as follows:
| September 30, 2026 | January 3, 2026 | |

NOTE 7. Debt Obligations
Indenture and Notes
On May 21, 2026, the Company issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes. The 2031 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated May 21, 2026 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The issuance of the 2031 Notes included the exercise in full of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase up to an additional $200 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes.
The Company offered and sold the 2031 Notes to the initial purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and for resale by the initial purchasers to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $1.47 billion after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and commissions but before offering expenses payable.
The Company used (i) approximately $89.0 million of the net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below, (ii) approximately $205.0 million of the net proceeds to repurchase 805 thousand shares of Common Stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or one or more of its affiliates, at a price per share equal to $254.53, the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock on the NYSE on May 18, 2026 and (iii) the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which included financing the Rigaku Transaction.
The 2031 Notes will mature on June 1, 2031, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2031 Notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the 2031 Notes will not accrete. After giving effect to the initial purchasers’ discount and issuance costs, the 2031 Notes have an effective interest rate of 0.39%. However, special interest and additional interest, if any, may accrue on the 2031 Notes at a combined rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture. As of September 30, 2026, the if-converted value of the 2031 Notes did not exceed the aggregate principal amount.
Beginning on March 1, 2031 and until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture) immediately before the maturity date, the 2031 Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time. If holders convert, we will settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares, or a combination thereof, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes being converted. Any 2031 Notes that remain outstanding at maturity are required to be repaid in cash.
Before March 1, 2031, noteholders will have the right to convert their 2031 Notes only under the following circumstances:
(1)
during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter) commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2026, if the Last Reported Sale Price (as defined in the Indenture) per share of Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price (as described below) for each of at least 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Indenture) (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter;
(2)
during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the Common Stock on such Trading Day and the conversion rate (as described below) on each Trading Day;
(3)
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on the Common Stock as set forth in the Indenture; or
(4)
if the Company calls such 2031 Notes for redemption.
As of September 30, 2026, none of the foregoing conditions permitting early conversion of the 2031 Notes had been satisfied. Accordingly, the 2031 Notes were not convertible at the option of the noteholders as of such date, and the Company has classified the 2031 Notes as a non-current liability.
The Company may not redeem the 2031 Notes at its option at any time before June 6, 2029. The Company will have the option to redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part (subject to the partial redemption limitation set forth in the Indenture), at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 6, 2029 and before the 31 st Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 Trading Days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice; and (2) the Trading Day immediately before the date the Company sends such notice. In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. Pursuant to the partial redemption limitation, the Company may not elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding 2031 Notes unless at least $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Notes are outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the time it sends the related redemption notice.
The conversion rate for the 2031 Notes will initially be 2.6192 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $381.80 per share of Common Stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events specified in the Indenture but will not be adjusted for any accrued or unpaid interest. In addition, upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will, under certain circumstances, increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2031 Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change. No adjustment to the conversion rate will be made if the Stock Price (as defined in the Indenture) in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is either less than $254.53 per share or greater than $2,750.00 per share. The Company will not increase the conversion rate to an amount that exceeds 3.9288 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2031 Notes, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Indenture. Based on the initial conversion rate, the 2031 Notes are initially convertible into approximately 3.9 million shares of the Common Stock (based on an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion). Assuming the maximum conversion rate of 3.9288 shares per $1,000 principal amount in connection with a Make Whole Fundamental Change, the 2031 Notes would be convertible into a maximum of approximately 5.9 million shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Indenture.
If certain corporate events that constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) occur, then, subject to certain exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2031 Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Indenture). The Indenture governing the 2031 Notes contains customary terms and covenants, including those limiting the Company’s ability to consolidate with or merge into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer substantially all of its assets, as well as customary events of default, each as defined in the Indenture.
The 2031 Notes are presented as “2031 Notes, net” within non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026 and are carried at amortized cost. The Company evaluated the terms of the 2031 Notes under applicable accounting guidance and concluded that the 2031 Notes are appropriately accounted for as a single liability instrument, with no bifurcation or other separate accounting required.
The initial purchasers’ discount of $30 million is treated as a debt issuance cost for financial reporting purposes and as original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company established a deferred tax asset of approximately $6.5 million at issuance. The $30 million of original issue discount is deductible for tax purposes over the term of the notes under Section 163 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The 2031 Notes consisted of the following components:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Principal | $1,500,000 |
| Unamortized debt issuance costs | (26,821) |
| Net carrying amount of the liability component | $1,473,179 |
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had unamortized debt issuance costs, including the initial purchasers’ discount, which are being amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the 2031 Notes using the effective interest method. The remaining amortization period is approximately five years, through the maturity date of June 1, 2031. Such amortization represents non-cash interest expense and will be recognized over the remaining term of the 2031 Notes. Amortization of the debt issuance costs was $1.4 million and $2.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively.
The future contractual principal payments related to the 2031 Notes are as follows. As the 2031 Notes do not bear regular interest, the table below reflects contractual principal repayments only and excludes non‑cash interest expense associated with the amortization of debt issuance costs.

Capped Call Transactions
In May 2026, in connection with the pricing of the 2031 Notes and the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option in full to purchase additional 2031 Notes, respectively, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with several financial institutions, including one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their respective affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”).
The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2031 Notes, approximately 3.9 million shares of Common Stock, which corresponds to the number of shares initially underlying the 2031 Notes based on the initial conversion rate. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Common Stock upon any conversion of the 2031 Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2031 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be $509.06 per share of Common Stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Common Stock of $254.53 per share on May 18, 2026, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.
The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions (in each case entered into by the Company with the Option Counterparties), and are not part of the terms of the 2031 Notes and will not change the noteholders’ rights under the 2031 Notes. Noteholders will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. The Company concluded that the Capped Call Transactions met the criteria for equity classification because they were indexed to the Common Stock and the Company has the discretion to settle the Capped Call Transactions in shares or cash. As a result, the $89.0 million paid was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company structured the Capped Call Transactions as tax-integrated for federal income tax purposes pursuant to applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, the $89.0 million in gross cost of the purchased Capped Call Transactions will be deductible for income tax purposes over the life of the option. As a result, the Company established a deferred income tax asset of $19.3 million at inception, with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital.
Indebtedness
On April 20, 2026, in connection with the Rigaku Transaction, we entered into a commitment letter with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman Sachs”) for a senior secured 364-day $500 million bridge term loan credit facility (the “Bridge Commitment”). Following the issuance of the 2031 Notes and Capped Call Transactions, the Company terminated the Bridge Commitment in full on May 21, 2026, and no amounts were drawn thereunder. The Company incurred total costs of $4.4 million in connection with the Bridge Commitment, all of which were expensed as incurred and recorded in “Other (expense) income, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the six months ended June 30, 2026. No amounts were incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
NOTE 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty Reserves
The Company generally provides a warranty on its products for a period of 12 to 14 months against defects in material and workmanship. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred during the warranty period and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate is based primarily on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Warranty provisions are generally related to current period sales. Settlements of warranty reserves are generally associated with sales that occurred during the 12 to 14 months prior to the period-end.
Changes in the Company’s warranty reserves are as follows:
| Nine Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| September 30, | September 27, | |
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| (in thousands) | ||
| Balance, beginning of the period | $10,292 | $10,858 |
| Accruals | 12,234 | 9,858 |
| Usage | (10,421) | (9,522) |
| Balance, end of the period | $12,105 | $11,194 |
Warranty reserves are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the captions “Accrued liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities.”
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that any current legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Line of Credit
The Company had a credit agreement with a bank that provided for a variable-rate line of credit secured by the marketable securities the Company had with the bank. At January 3, 2026, the Company was permitted to borrow up to 70.0% of the value of eligible securities held at the time the line of credit was accessed, up to a maximum of $100.0 million. The available line of credit as of January 3, 2026 was $100.0 million with an available interest rate of 4.3%. The Company terminated this line of credit in the first quarter of 2026, and did not utilize the line of credit while it was active.
Leases
As of September 30, 2026, there were no material changes in the Company’s leases from those disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K, other than those described below.
On June 18, 2026, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) for a new corporate headquarters facility located at 3000 Minuteman Road in Andover, Massachusetts. The leased premises consist of approximately 159,947 rentable square feet and will replace the Company’s current headquarters in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The Lease has an initial term of approximately 13 years and is expected to commence in 2027, upon substantial completion of tenant improvements or no later than 12 months following the contractual delivery date, as defined in the Lease. The Lease includes an initial rent of approximately $17.00 per square foot, subject to annual increases of 3%, as well as customary rent abatement periods and phased rent commencement provisions during the early years of the Lease term. Total undiscounted Lease payments over the initial Lease term are expected to be approximately $36.4 million. As of September 30, 2026, the Lease had not yet commenced, and therefore no right-of-use asset or corresponding lease liability has been recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

See Note 13, “Segment Reporting and Geographic Information” for additional discussion of the Company’s disaggregated revenue by geography.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets consist of amounts we have not invoiced but have completed the related performance obligation. These amounts generally arise from variances between the contractual payment terms and the transaction price assigned to the open performance obligations (e.g., we have recognized revenue in an amount greater than the amount that is billable under the contract). The contract assets amounts are recorded in “Accounts receivable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2026 the Company hadno contract assets, and as of January 3, 2026, the Company had contract assets of $3.5 million.
The Company records contract liabilities when the customer has been billed in advance of the Company completing its performance obligations primarily with respect to liabilities related to service contracts and installation. For contracts that have a duration of one year or less, these amounts are recorded as “Deferred revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For contracts with a duration longer than one year, deferred revenue is recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company carried a long-term deferred revenue balance of $10.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, within “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Changes in deferred revenue were as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Restructuring and other | — | — | — | 478 |
| Total share-based compensation expense | $8,805 | $6,886 | $25,831 | $20,378 |
As of September 30, 2026, there was $50.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units granted under the Company’s stock plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years following September 30, 2026.
NOTE 11. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $18.1 million and $30.8 million for thethree and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $3.8 million and $17.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2025.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.9% and 18.0% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 12% for both thethree and nine month period ended September 27, 2025. The effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2026 was impacted by various tax items, primarily the tax impact associated with the unrealized loss on the Company’s investment in Rigaku for which no benefit was recognized due to a valuation allowance, which increased the effective tax rate by 10.8 and 3.5 percentage points, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%primarily due to the impact of foreign taxes, including the Pillar Two global minimum tax, the tax impact associated with the unrealized loss on the Company’s investmentin Rigaku, tax benefits associated with the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deductions, federal research and development tax credits, foreign tax credits, and excess tax benefits associated with equity compensation.
NOTE 12. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Restricted stock units and employee stock purchase grants are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, no unitsand 10 thousand, respectively, restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025,101 thousand and 80 thousand, respectively, restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026,3.9 million and 1.9 million shares issuable upon conversion of the Company’s convertible notes were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price of Common Stock during each period was below the conversion price.
The Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are as follows:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 30, | September 27, | September 30, | September 27, | |

NOTE 13. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information
The Company is organized and operates asone operating and reportable segment: the design, development, manufacture and support of high-performance control metrology, defect inspection, lithography and data analysis systems used by microelectronics device manufacturers. This determination is based on the management approach which designates internal information regularly available to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of determination of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CODM uses net income as the measure of profit or loss to allocate resources and assess performance. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
