Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
Note 1 –Basis of Presentation
Background
Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (“VPG” or the “Company”) is a global leader in precision measurement and sensing technologies that help power the future by bridging the physical world with the digital one. Many of our specialized sensors, weighing solutions, and measurement systems are “designed-in” by our customers, and address growing applications across a diverse array of industries and markets. Our products are marketed under brand names that we believe are characterized as having a very high level of precision and quality, and we employ an operationally diversified structure to manage our businesses.
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for the presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair summary of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, included in VPG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024. The results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. VPG reports interim financial information for 13-week periods beginning on a Sunday and ending on a Saturday, except for the first quarter, which always begins on January 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on December 31. The four fiscal quarters in 2024 and 2023 end on the following dates:
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| Quarter 1 | March 30, | April 1, |
|---|---|---|
| Quarter 2 | June 29, | July 1, |
| Quarter 3 | September 28, | September 30, |
| Quarter 4 | December 31, | December 31, |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company evaluates the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").
Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The ASU also allows, in addition to the measure that is most consistent with U.S. GAAP, the disclosure of additional measures of segment profit or loss that are used by the CODM in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendment also includes other changes to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures, including further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Contract liabilities are deferred revenues that are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligations. Our payment terms vary by the type and location of the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.
The outstanding contract assets and liability accounts were as follows(in thousands):
| Contract Asset | Contract Liability | |

Note 5 –Income Taxes
VPG calculates the tax provision for interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology based on projected full-year pre-tax earnings among the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate with adjustments for discrete items. The effective tax rate was 28.4% and 24.1% for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024, and April 1, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to foreign income taxed at different tax rates and changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2023 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to foreign income taxed at different tax rates and changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes imposed by the U.S., various states, and the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Each jurisdiction establishes rules that set forth the years which are subject to examination by its tax authorities. While the Company believes the tax positions taken on its tax returns for each jurisdiction are supportable, they may still be challenged by the jurisdiction's tax authorities. In anticipation of such challenges, the Company has established reserves for tax-related uncertainties. These liabilities are based on the Company’s best estimate of the potential tax exposures in each respective jurisdiction. It may take a number of years for a final tax liability in a jurisdiction to be determined, particularly in the event of an audit. If an uncertain matter is determined favorably, there could be a reduction in the Company’s tax expense. An unfavorable determination could increase tax expense and could require a cash payment, including interest and penalties.
Note 6 –Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following(in thousands):
| March 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|

| Less: current portion | 31,885 | — |
| Long-term debt, less: current portion | $— | $31,856 |
2020 Credit Agreement
On March 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2020 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders named therein, Citizens Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as joint lead arrangers and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association as agent for such lenders (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the terms of the Company’s multi-currency, secured credit facility were revised to provide a secured revolving facility (the “2020 Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million, with a sublimit of $10.0 million which can be used for letters of credit for the account of the Company or its subsidiaries that are parties to the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the 2020 Revolving Facility may be used on an ongoing basis for working capital and general corporate purposes. The aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Revolving Facility may be increased by a maximum of
-12-
Note 6 - Long-Term Debt (continued)
$25.0 million upon the request of the Company, subject to the terms of the 2020 Credit Agreement. The 2020 Credit Agreement terminates on March 20, 2025. Because the Credit Agreement expires less than one year from the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2024, the outstanding balance of long-term debt in the amount of $31.885 million has been reclassified as a current liability.
On May 5, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) amending the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated March 20, 2020. The primary purpose of the changes made in the Credit Agreement Amendment were to update the interest rate provisions to replace LIBOR with SOFR for U.S. dollar denominated loans as well as update the other applicable reference borrowing rates for foreign currency loans which took effect on June 15, 2023. Interest payable on amounts borrowed under the 2020 Revolving Facility, taking into account the effect of the Credit Agreement Amendment, is based upon the following: (a) for revolving credit loans denominated in US Dollars, the SOFR rate plus applicable credit spread; and (b) for revolving credit loans denominated in foreign currencies, at other applicable local reference rates plus an interest margin. Depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, an interest rate margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.75% per annum is added to the applicable SOFR rate to determine the interest payable on the SOFR loans. The Company is required to pay a quarterly fee of 0.25% per annum to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the 2020 Revolving Facility, which is determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio each quarter. Additional customary fees apply with respect to letters of credit.

Note 9 –Share-Based Compensation
The Vishay Precision Group, Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2022 plan") permits issuance of up to 608,000 shares of common stock. At March 30, 2024, the Company had reserved 486,632 shares of common stock for future grants of equity awards (restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), or stock options) pursuant to the 2022 plan. If any outstanding awards are forfeited by the holder or canceled by the Company, the underlying shares would be available for re-grant to others. If shares are withheld for payment of taxes, those shares do not become available for grant under the 2022 plan.
On March 7, 2024 and in accordance with their respective employment agreements, VPG’sthree executive officers were granted annual equity awards in the form of RSUs, of which 50% are performance-based. The awards have an aggregate target grant-date fair value of $1.7 million and were comprised of 49,190 RSUs. Fifty percent of these awards will vest on January 1, 2027, subject to the executives’ continued employment. The performance-based portion of the RSUs will also vest on January 1, 2027, subject to the executives' continued employment and the satisfaction of certain performance objectives relating tothree-year cumulative “adjusted free cash flow” and "net earnings goals", each weighted equally.
On March 7, 2024, certain non-executive VPG employees were granted annual equity awards in the form of RSUs. Certain employees received awards, of which 75% are performance-based and certain employees received awards of which 50% are performance-based. The awards have an aggregate grant-date fair value of $0.6 million and were comprised of 16,821 RSUs. The non-performance portion of these awards (twenty-five percent for certain employees andfifty percent for certain employees) will vest on January 1, 2027, subject to the employees' continued employment. The performance-based portion of the RSUs will also vest on January 1, 2027, subject to the employees' continued employment and the satisfaction of certain performance objectives relating tothree-year cumulative earnings and cash flow goals, each weighted equally.
The amount of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. VPG determines compensation cost for RSUs based on the grant-date fair value of the underlying common stock. The Company recognizes compensation cost for RSUs that are expected to vest and for which performance criteria are expected to be met. The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recognized(in thousands):
| Three fiscal months ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 30, 2024 | April 1, 2023 | |
| Share-based compensation expense | $661 | $681 |

Note 10 –Segment Information
VPG reports inthree reportable segments: Sensors segment, Weighing Solutions segment, and Measurement Systems segment. The Sensors reporting segment is comprised of the foil resistor and strain gage operating segments. The Weighing Solutions segment is comprised of specialized modules and systems used to precisely measure weight, force, torque, and pressure. The Measurement Systems reporting segment is comprised of highly specialized systems for steel production, materials development, and safety testing.
The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our chief executive officer. The evaluation of the segment's performance is based on multiple performance measures including gross profits, revenues, and operating income, exclusive of certain items. Management believes that evaluating segment performance, excluding items such as restructuring and severance costs, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, acquisition costs, and other items is meaningful because they relate to occurrences or events that are outside of our core operations, and management believes that the use of these measures provides a consistent basis to evaluate our operating profitability and performance trends across comparable periods.

Note 13 –Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a valuation hierarchy of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.
An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table provides the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis(in thousands):
| Fair value measurements at reporting date using: | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TotalFair Value | Level 1Inputs | Level 2Inputs | Level 3Inputs | |
| Assets | ||||
| Assets held in rabbi trusts | $6,148 | $122 | $6,026 | $— |
| Assets | ||||
| Assets held in rabbi trusts | $5,841 | $59 | $5,782 | $— |
-17-
Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)
The Company maintains non-qualified trusts, referred to as “rabbi” trusts, to fund payments under deferred compensation and non-qualified pension plans. Rabbi trust assets consist primarily of marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale money market funds at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and company-owned life insurance assets. The marketable securities held in the rabbi trusts are valued using quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The company-owned life insurance assets are valued in consultation with the Company’s insurance brokers using the value of underlying assets of the insurance contracts. The fair value measurement of the cash equivalents held in the rabbi trust are considered a Level 1 measurement and the measurement of the company-owned life insurance assets is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the long-term debt, excluding capitalized deferred financing costs, at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximates its carrying value as the revolving debt is reset on a monthly basis based on current market rates, plus a base rate as specified in the debt agreement. The fair value of long-term debt is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts for these financial instruments reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets approximate their fair values.
Note 14 –Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs reflect the cost reduction programs implemented by the Company. Restructuring costs are expensed during the period in which the Company determines it will incur those costs and all requirements for accrual are met. Because these costs are recorded based upon estimates, actual expenditures for the restructuring activities may differ from the initially recorded costs. If the initial estimates are too low or too high, the Company could be required either to record additional expense in future periods or to reverse part of the previously recorded charges.
The Company recorded $0.8 million and $0.1 million of restructuring costs during the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. Restructuring costs were comprised primarily of employee termination costs, including severance and statutory retirement allowances, and were incurred in connection with various cost reduction programs.
The following table summarizes recent activity related to all restructuring programs. The accrued restructuring liability balance as of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, is included in Other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets(in thousands):
