NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands except share and per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Ultralife Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Ultralife”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The December 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet information referenced herein was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Recent Business Developments

In connection with the importation of certain raw materials and components used in the manufacture of its products, the Company previously paid tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Such tariff costs were included in inventory and recognized in cost of products sold as the related inventory was sold.

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company received cash refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs following legal developments related to the validity of certain IEEPA tariffs and the implementation of refund procedures by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Company accounts for IEEPA tariff refunds as gain contingencies and recognizes such amounts only when the related contingencies have been resolved and the amounts are realized or realizable. Accordingly, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized a net refund of $1,102 as a reduction of cost of products sold, representing the recovery of tariff costs previously recognized in earnings. The tariff costs related to the refund recognized as a reduction of cost of products sold were not charged to customers and therefore not payable to customers. Additional refunds received related to tariff costs capitalized in inventory on hand at September 30, 2026 were recorded as a reduction of inventory and will be recognized in cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold in future periods. The refund was received in cash during the second quarter of 2026.

The Company continues to evaluate potential claims for additional IEEPA tariff refunds. Additional recoveries remain subject to governmental review, claim validation, administrative processing and ongoing legal proceedings. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2026, the Company hadnot recorded a receivable or recognized any amounts related to potential future IEEPA tariff recoveries as realization of such amounts is not considered sufficiently probable at this time.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” which requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2.DEBT

On October 31, 2024, Ultralife, SWE, CLB, Excell USA, and Electrochem, as borrowers, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a new Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank” or the “Bank”), as lender and administrative agent (the “New Credit Agreement”). The proceeds of the loans under the New Credit Agreement were used, in part, to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s then existing Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank (the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The New Credit Agreement, among other things, provides in its term loan provisions for a 5-year, $55 million senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan” or “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan is subject to repayment in quarterly installments commencing March 31, 2025, in amounts as set forth in the New Credit Agreement. Interest is payable on the unpaid principal outstanding under the Term Loan. All amounts of unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest remaining due under the Term Loan are scheduled to be paid in full October 31, 2029.

Upon closing of the acquisition of all issued and outstanding shares of Electrochem on October 31, 2024, the Company borrowed the full amount of the Term Loan Facility.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $45,125 outstanding principal on the Term Loan, $3,125 of which is included in current portion of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets, and $5,875 outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2026, unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan of $482 are classified on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of long-term debt, and unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility of $333 are classified on the consolidated balance sheets as other noncurrent assets. Debt issuance costs include lender fees and certain costs paid to third parties, including legal and accountant fees, and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Agreement.

The New Credit Agreement also provides under its revolving credit provisions for revolving loans, letters of credit, and swing loans (“Revolving Credit Facility”). Upon the effectiveness of the New Credit Agreement, any amounts outstanding under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement became issued under the New Credit Agreement. The availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain borrowing base limits based on trade receivables and inventories. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility is due and payable in full on October 31, 2029.

The Company may voluntarily prepay principal amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement at any time subject to certain advance notifications and other restrictions.

In addition to the customary affirmative and negative covenants, the Company must maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, as defined in the New Credit Agreement, of equal to or greater than 1.15 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2025, and for each fiscal quarter thereafter, as calculated for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date, and a consolidated senior leverage ratio, as defined in the New Credit Agreement, not to exceed (i)3.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 through December 31, 2025, (ii)3.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026, (iii)3.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2027 and on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, for the remaining term of the New Credit Agreement. The Company was in full compliance with its covenants under the New Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2026.

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and certain of its present and future subsidiaries who are or become parties to, or guarantors under the New Credit Agreement.

Interest will accrue on outstanding indebtedness under the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facilities at a variable rate of interest based on designated interest rate benchmarks plus a varying margin determined by reference to the consolidated total leverage ratio in effect from time to time. Our borrowing rate was 6.37% as of September 30, 2026.

The Company must pay a fee oftwenty, twenty-five orthirty basis points (depending on the consolidated total leverage ratio in effect from time to time) based on the average daily unused availability under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company must make payments to the extent borrowings exceed the maximum amount then permitted to be borrowed and from the proceeds of certain transactions. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations may be accelerated, and the Bank will have other customary remedies including resort to the security interest the Company provided to the Bank.

Future minimum principal repayment obligations on our New Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2026 are as follows:

3.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Ultralife by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of securities when the average market price exceeds the exercise price of the securities, if any, and is calculated using the treasury stock method.

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, there were 200,539 outstanding stock options and 19,043 unvested restricted stock awards included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as such securities were dilutive, resulting in 33,430 potential common shares included in the calculation of diluted EPS. For the comparable three-month period ended September 30, 2025, there wereno outstanding awards included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding andno potential common shares included in the calculation of diluted EPS, as no securities were dilutive.

There were 644,533 outstanding stock options for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, and 384,124 outstanding stock options for the comparable three-month period ended September 30, 2025, that were not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, there were 210,539 outstanding stock options and 19,043 unvested restricted stock awards included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, resulting in 42,619 potential common shares included in the calculation of diluted EPS. For the comparable nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, there were 304,054 outstanding stock options and 34,819 unvested restricted stock awards included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, resulting in 60,915 potential common shares included in the calculation of diluted EPS.

There were 634,533 and 683,043 outstanding stock options for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

4.SUPPLEMENTAL BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The fair value of financial instruments approximated their carrying values at September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025. The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and the current portion of long-term debt approximates carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value, as the variable interest rates approximate current market rates.

6.INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, and 2025 was 12.6% and 16.9%, respectively. The period-over-period change was primarily attributable to the geographic mix of our operating results and other income recognized on nontaxable refundable tax credits under the 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law in the United States which includes a broad range of tax provisions affecting businesses. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company has included the estimated impacts of the bill in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, our federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, state net operating loss carryforwards, and federal general business tax credit carryforwards were $9,400, $5,100 and $3,400, respectively. Our domestic net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2031. Our federal general business tax credit carryforwards begin to expire in 2028. As of September 30, 2026, management has concluded it is more likely than not that these domestic NOL and credit carryforwards will be fully utilized.

As of September 30, 2026, for certain past operations in the U.K., we continue to report a valuation allowance for NOL carryforwards of approximately $10,000, nearly all of which can be carried forward indefinitely. Utilization of the net operating losses may be limited due to the change in the past U.K. operation and cannot currently be used to reduce taxable income at our other U.K. subsidiary, Accutronics Ltd. There are no other deferred tax assets related to the past U.K. operations.

As of September 30, 2026, we havenot recognized a valuation allowance against our other foreign deferred tax assets, as realization is considered to be more likely than not.

As of September 30, 2026, the Company maintains its assertion that all foreign earnings will be indefinitely reinvested in those operations, other than earnings generated in the U.K.

There wereno unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

As a result of our operations, we file income tax returns in various jurisdictions including U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. We are routinely subject to examination by taxing authorities in these various jurisdictions. Our U.S. tax matters for 2022 thru 2025 remain subject to IRS examination. Our U.S. tax matters for 2005-2007, 2009, and 2011-2015 also remain subject to IRS examination due to the remaining availability of net operating loss carryforwards generated in those years. Our U.S. tax matters for 2015 thru 2024 remain subject to examination by various state and local tax jurisdictions. Our tax matters for the years 2015 through 2024 remain subject to examination by the respective foreign tax jurisdiction authorities.

7.OPERATING LEASES

The Company has operating leases predominantly for operating facilities. As of September 30, 2026, the remaining lease terms on our operating leases range from approximately one (1) year to six (6) years. Lease terms include renewal options reasonably certain of exercise. There is no transfer of title or option to purchase the leased assets upon expiration. There are no residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

8.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

As of September 30, 2026, we have made commitments to purchase approximately $734 of production machinery and equipment.

Product Warranties

We estimate future warranty costs to be incurred for product failure rates, material usage and service costs in the development of our warranty obligations. Estimated future costs are based on actual past experience and are generally estimated as a percentage of sales over the warranty period. Changes in our product warranty liability during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

Nine-month period ended September 30,
20262025
Accrued warranty obligations – beginning$1,126$887
Accruals for warranties issued3315
Settlements made(260)(199)
Accrued warranty obligations – ending$869$1,003

Contingencies and Legal Matters

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise from time to time in the normal course of business. We believe that the final disposition of any such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, recognizing that legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, there exists the possibility that ultimate resolution of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We are not aware of any such situations at this time.

9.REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are generated from the sale of products. Performance obligations are met and revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which is generally upon shipment. When contract terms require transfer of control upon delivery at a customer’s location, revenue is recognized on the date of delivery. For products shipped under vendor-managed inventory arrangements, revenue is recognized and billed when the product is consumed by the customer, at which point control has transferred and there are no further obligations by the Company. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for shipped product. Sales, value-added and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue. Customers, including distributors, do not have a general right of return.

Separately priced extended warranty contracts are offered on certain Communications Systems products for a duration of up to eight (8) years. Extended warranties are treated as separate performance obligations and recognized to revenue evenly over the term of the respective contract. Revenue not yet recognized on extended warranty contracts is recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026, revenue recognized on extended warranties was $74 and $223, respectively. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, revenue recognized on extended warranties was $74 and $223, respectively.

As of September 30, 2026, there was deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts of $632, comprised of $278 expected to be recognized as revenue within one (1) year and classified as accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and $354 expected to be recognized as revenue over the remaining duration of the respective contracts and classified as other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2025, there was deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts of $855, comprised of $298 expected to be recognized as revenue within one (1) year and classified as accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, and $557 expected to be recognized as revenue over the remaining duration of the respective contracts and classified as other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company had no other unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of greater than one year. Pursuant to Topic 606, we have applied the practical expedient with respect to disclosure of the deferral and future expected timing of revenue recognition for transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations.

10.BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments represent a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. Upon identification of operating segments, the Company determines which of those operating segments are required to be presented as reportable segments based on the quantitative thresholds.

We structure our operations primarily around the products we sell and report our financial results in the followingtwo reportable segments: Battery & Energy Products and Communications Systems. The Battery & Energy Products segment includes Lithium 9-volt, cylindrical and various other non-rechargeable batteries, in addition to rechargeable batteries, uninterruptable power supplies, charging systems and accessories. The Communications Systems segment includes RF amplifiers, power supplies, cable and connector assemblies, amplified speakers, equipment mounts, case equipment, man-portable systems, integrated communication systems for fixed or vehicle applications and communications and electronics systems design.

Our CODM is Mike Manna, President & Chief Executive Officer. Both of our operating segments are regularly reviewed by the CODM through weekly revenue, gross margin and consolidated financial forecast updates, bi-weekly business and financial reviews to assess business performance, top priorities, utilization of resources and to regularly communicate with segment management, who are part of the CODM’s executive leadership team, and monthly meetings with the executive leadership team. In his role as CODM, Mr. Manna is deeply involved in business operations through daily updates by the segment management and ongoing financial, revenue and operations discussions.

The primary financial measures used by the CODM to monitor and evaluate resource allocation and the performance of the operating segments is segment contribution, as defined by gross profit less direct selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and research and development expenses. This metric is used as a consistent benchmark for comparison across reporting periods.

The significant segment expenses regularly reviewed by the CODM and included in segment contribution are cost of products sold and direct R&D and SG&A expenses. There are no other segment items included in segment contribution beyond the significant expenses disclosed.

Corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses, including costs associated with our acquisitions, include corporate functions including board of directors, executive officers, accounting & finance, human resources, legal, information technology and their related functional expenses. These costs are not directly allocable to the operating segments.

The CODM does not review segment assets at a level other than that presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
