Financial Statement Presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for these interim periods.

On December 27, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the Consumer MEMS Microphones ("CMM") segment to Syntiant Corp. ("Syntiant"). See Note 3. Discontinued Operations for additional information related to this transaction. The results of operations for CMM have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Corrections of Errors -During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company identified an error in its historical financial results related to stock-based compensation expense for those individuals that are nearing or have reached retirement eligibility as defined by the equity compensation plan. This error resulted in the understatement of stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company corrected its stock-based compensation expense, which resulted in increases to Selling and administrative expenses of $0.9 million, Research and development expenses of $0.1 million, and Cost of goods sold of $0.1 million. This correction decreased Earnings before income taxes and discontinued operations and Earnings from continuing operations by $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company identified an error in its historical financial results related to working capital adjustments and costs associated with the disposal of CMM in the fourth quarter of 2024. This error resulted in the overstatement of the gain on disposal of business reflected in Loss from discontinued operations, net during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company corrected this error, resulting in an increase to Loss from discontinued operations, net of $1.3 million.

The Company evaluated the impact of these errors in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and determined that they were not material to the consolidated financial statements for the current interim period or to any previously reported annual or interim periods.

Transactions with Syntiant -As partial consideration for the sale of CMM on December 27, 2024, the Company received Series D-2 preferred stock of Syntiant. See Note 3. Discontinued Operations for additional information related to this transaction. The Company accounts for this investment using the cost method, measured at its historical cost of $77.2 million, which was the fair value of the consideration received from Syntiant. This amount is reflected as “Investment in affiliate” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In connection with the sale of CMM, the Company provided financing of $6.4 million to Syntiant, which was utilized to fund Syntiant's requirement to have $40.0 million of cash on its balance sheet at closing. This note is junior to Syntiant's debt financing and matures on March 28, 2029 and bears interest at the prime rate until six months after the closing date of the sale, at which time the interest rate increased to 13.0%. The balance of this note was $5.9 million and $6.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is classified within "Other assets and deferred charges" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company shares in certain separation costs with Syntiant related to the sale of CMM pursuant to a credit for up to $13.5 million, which it may apply to specified separation costs post-closing. The balance of the separation credit was $6.2 million and $13.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively and is classified within "Other accrued expenses" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As the balance of the separation credit is now below the $6.5 million contractual threshold, future costs will be shared equally by the Company and Syntiant.

The Company leases portions of its facilities to Syntiant, for which lease payments to date of $2.6 million have been applied to the separation credit. The Company also subleases portions of its manufacturing facilities to Syntiant at cost. The portion of operating lease right-of-use assets subleased by Syntiant totaled $5.2 million and $0.3 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company recognized revenue totaling $4.4 million and $12.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, related to transactions with Syntiant. These revenues are reflected in the results of the MedTech & Specialty Audio segment. Receivables, net include $4.0 million and $1.8 million due from Syntiant at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to these sales transactions and amounts related to the sale of CMM.

In 2025 the Company engaged with Syntiant to sell certain machinery and equipment associated with the MedTech & Specialty Audio segment for a nominal selling price. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to write down the carrying value of these assets to fair value based on the selling price.

Share Repurchase Program -On February 24, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of the Company's common stock. On April 28, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had increased the authorization by up to $150.0 million in additional aggregate value. On February 13, 2025, the Company announced another authorization increase of up to $150.0 million in additional aggregate value, for a total of $400.0 million of aggregate value. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors, and will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws in either the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any shares repurchased will be held as treasury stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 3,120,574 and 1,686,253 shares of common stock for a total of $55.0 million and $29.5 million, respectively. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $139.0 million remaining that may yet be repurchased under the share repurchase program.

Non-cash Operating Activities - Operating lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $15.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The 2024 amount reflects both continuing and discontinued operations.

Non-cash Investing Activities - Purchases of property, plant, and equipment included in accounts payable at September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $3.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The 2024 amount reflects both continuing and discontinued operations. These non-cash amounts are not reflected as "Capital expenditures" within Investing Activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the respective periods.

2. Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FAB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07 to expand reportable segment disclosure requirements. This guidance requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. Additionally, this standard requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The Company retroactively adopted this standard beginning with its annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2024 and its interim reporting for the three months ended March 31, 2025. See Note 15. Segment Information.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 to enhance the transparency of income tax disclosures. This guidance requires that public business entities disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. A public business entity is required to provide an explanation, if not otherwise evident, of the individual reconciling items disclosed, such as the nature, effect, and underlying causes and the judgment used in categorizing the reconciling items. This guidance also requires that all entities disclose, on an annual basis, the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by those individual jurisdictions equal to or greater than 5 percent of the total. This standard is effective for the Company for its annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The standard requires adoption on a prospective basis, although retrospective adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact upon the financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 to provide additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This guidance requires that a public business entity disclose amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement and a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. This standard also requires an entity disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. This standard is effective for the Company for its annual reporting for the year ended December 31, 2027 and for interim reporting for the three months ended March 31, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. This standard may be applied either prospectively to the financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

3. Discontinued Operations

On December 27, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the CMM segment to Syntiant. The total consideration for this transaction was approximately $141.9 million, consisting of $63.6 million in cash ($58.0 million net of cash sold), Syntiant Series D-2 preferred stock with a fair value of $77.2 million, and $1.1 million for estimated purchase price adjustments. The purchase price adjustment is still being finalized and is subject to change. The Company shares in certain separation costs pursuant to a credit for up to $13.5 million, which the buyer may apply to specified separation costs post-closing. The Company incurred costs to sell related to this transaction of $5.8 million.

As part of its post-transaction review, the Company recorded net adjustments of $1.6 million to the loss on disposal of CMM during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This amount includes losses of $1.8 million ($1.3 million, net of tax) related to working capital adjustments and costs associated with the transaction that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024, but were not recorded at that time. See also Note 1. Basis of Presentation.

The disposition of CMM meets the criteria described in ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has reclassified the results of operations of CMM to discontinued operations for all periods presented as this disposal represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Results of the Company’s discontinued operations were as follows:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $13.1 million and $262.5 million, respectively, to write down the carrying value of CMM to its fair value. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 to write down the carrying value of CMM to its fair value less costs to sell. This impairment is reflected as "Loss on disposal of business" in the results of discontinued operations above.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold certain technology related to CMM to a third party for total proceeds of $7.2 million. After transaction costs of $1.8 million, the Company recognized a net gain on the sale of this asset of $5.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This gain is reflected as “Gain on sale of technology, net” in the results of discontinued operations above.

In 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain of its machinery and equipment related to CMM to a third party for total proceeds of $11.4 million, which were received in their entirety in 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an additional gain on sale of these assets of approximately $1.1 million as a result of changing its estimate on the amount owed to the third party. This gain is reflected as "Gain on sale of fixed assets" in the results of discontinued operations above.

As the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows includes the results of CMM in its net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities, the Company has provided the following information related to CMM in accordance with ASC 205-20:

9. Borrowings

Borrowings consist of the following:

Total debt principal payments over the next five years are as follows:

Revolving Credit Facility

On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "A&R Credit Agreement") that amends and restates the prior Credit Agreement, dated September 4, 2020, and provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility with borrowings in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $400.0 million (the "Credit Facility"). The A&R Credit Agreement, among other things, extends the maturity date of the Credit Facility from January 2, 2024 to February 8, 2028, replaces the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) as a reference rate available for borrowings, amends the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, and amends certain other financial covenants with which the Company must comply, as described below.

On September 25, 2023, the Company amended its A&R Credit Agreement to, among other things, (a) permit the Company in connection with the acquisition of Cornell Dubilier ("CD"), to incur senior priority seller financing indebtedness (the “Seller Note”) in an aggregate principal amount of $122.9 million secured by certain assets (including equity interests) acquired in connection with such acquisition and the capital stock of Cornell Dubilier, LLC (the “Acquisition Assets”), which shall mature two years after the effective date of such Seller Note (the “Seller Note Maturity Date”), (b) extends the requirement to pledge the Acquisition Assets that would otherwise constitute collateral under the Credit Agreement to the date that is 90 days after the Seller Note Maturity Date, and (c) restricts, until the Seller Note Maturity Date, the amount of dispositions and investments from the Company and certain of its subsidiaries into Cornell Dubilier, LLC and the acquired subsidiaries that constitute Acquisition Assets from exceeding $80.0 million in the aggregate. All other terms remain the same as the A&R Credit Agreement dated February 8, 2023.

Up to $100.0 million of the Credit Facility will be available in Euro, Pounds Sterling, and other currencies requested by the Company and up to $50.0 million of the Credit Facility will be made available in the form of letters of credit. Undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility accrue a commitment fee at a per annum rate of 0.225% to 0.350%, based on a leverage ratio grid.

At any time during the term of the Credit Facility, the Company may request to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility or to establish one or more incremental term loan facilities under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of $200.0 million, plus additional amounts, so long as the senior secured leverage ratio does not exceed 2.00 to 1.00.

The A&R Credit Agreement includes requirements, to be tested quarterly, that the Company maintains (i) a minimum ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense of 3.00 to 1.00, (the "Interest Coverage Ratio"), (ii) a ratio of total indebtedness, minus netted cash in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million, to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.75 to 1.00 (the "Total Net Leverage Ratio"), and (iii) a maximum ratio of senior net secured indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.25 to 1.00 (the "Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio"). For these ratios, Consolidated EBITDA and consolidated interest expense are calculated using the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters in a manner defined in the A&R Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with these covenants and it expects to remain in compliance with all of its debt covenants over the next twelve months.

The interest rates under the Credit Facility will be, at the Borrowers' option (1) (A) in the case of borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars Term SOFR, (B) in the case of borrowings denominated in Sterling, Daily Simple Sonia, or (C) for borrowings denominated in Euro, EURIBOR, in each case, plus the rates per annum determined from time to time based on the total net leverage ratio of the Company as of the end of and for the most recent period of four fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered (the "Applicable Margin"); or (2) in the case of borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars, alternate base rate ("ABR") (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin for Term SOFR, Daily Simple Sonia, or EURIBOR could range from 1.50% to 2.50% while the Applicable Margin for ABR could range from 0.50% to 1.50%.

The weighted-average interest rate on the Company's borrowings under the Credit Facility was 6.18% and 7.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted-average commitment fee on the revolving line of credit was 0.25% and 0.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Seller Note

In connection with the acquisition of Cornell Dubilier on November 1, 2023, the Company obtained an interest-free Seller Note with aggregate principal payments of $122.9 million. The Company recorded the Seller Note on the acquisition date at its present value of $109.9 million by discounting the future principal payments using an imputed rate of interest of approximately 7.1% in accordance with accounting guidance in ASC 835, Interest. The Company has made a successful indemnity claim against the Seller Note of $0.2 million. The Company repaid $50.0 million of the Seller Note on November 1, 2024 and the remaining $72.7 million balance is due and payable in cash on November 1, 2025. The Company recognized imputed interest expense on the Seller Note of approximately $1.3 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized imputed interest expense on the Seller Note of approximately $3.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

The Seller Note is secured by certain assets (including equity interest) acquired in connection with the acquisition. The Seller Note includes Knowles Capital Holdings, Inc. and Knowles Intermediate PD Holdings, LLC as borrowers, which jointly and severally agree to pay James P. Kaplan, as representative of the sellers of Cornell Dubilier, the principal amount as described above. The Seller Note is not interest-bearing except at such time as an event of default has occurred, upon which and during the continuance of an event of default, all overdue principal will accrue interest at 2.0% per annum plus the SOFR-based rate otherwise applicable under the Company’s existing credit facility. The Seller Note is subject to customary conditions and events of default and the secured nature of the Seller Note is supported by a Security Agreement.

10. Other Comprehensive Earnings

The amounts recognized in other comprehensive (loss) earnings were as follows:

The following tables summarize the changes in balances of each component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) earnings, net of tax during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

The following tables summarize the amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings:

11. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate ("ETR"). The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax earnings or loss, tax laws, and changes resulting from tax audits can affect the overall ETR, which impacts the level of income tax expense or benefit and net income or loss. Judgments and estimates related to the Company’s projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain and therefore, actual results could differ materially from projections.

The Company's ETR from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 19.3% (inclusive of discrete items totaling $0.2 million of tax expense) and 26.2% (inclusive of discrete items totaling $0.1 million of tax benefit), respectively. The discrete items impacting the tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to stock-based compensation. Absent the discrete items, the ETR from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 18.4% and 26.5%, respectively. The Company's ETR from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 24.6% (inclusive of discrete items totaling $0.7 million of tax benefit) and 38.1% (inclusive of discrete items totaling $0.3 million of tax benefit), respectively. The discrete items impacting the tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were primarily attributable to stock-based compensation and the deferred tax impact of a tax rate change. Absent the discrete items, the ETR from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 30.3% and 39.5%, respectively.

The Company accrues taxes in various countries where it generates income and applies a valuation allowance in other jurisdictions, which resulted in the provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

12. Equity Incentive Program

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense recognized by the Company for the periods presented:

(1) Stock-based compensation shown here reflects the expense included in continuing operations. Stock-based compensation expense included in discontinued operations totaled $1.5 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Stock Options

No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The following table summarizes the Company's stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

(1) The number of stock options exercised includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy the option exercise price (in the instances of net exercises) as well as statutory tax withholding requirements.

There wasno unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options at September 30, 2025.

RSUs

The following table summarizes the Company's restricted stock unit ("RSU") activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

(1) The number of RSUs vested includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $20.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to its RSUs that it expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

PSUs

The Company grants performance share units (“PSUs”) to senior management. In each case, the awards will cliff vest three years following the grant date. PSUs will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. Depending on the Company's overall performance relative to the applicable measures, the size of the PSU awards are subject to adjustment, up or down, resulting in awards at the end of the performance period that can range from 0% to 225% of target. The Company will ratably recognize the expense over the applicable service period for each grant of PSUs. The fair value of PSUs is determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation. For the awards granted in February 2025, 2024, and 2023, the number of PSUs that may be earned and vest is based on total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the component companies of the Russell 2000 Index over a three-year performance period.

On February 18, 2025 the Company granted a special PSU award to its Chief Executive Officer of 81,788 target PSUs with a grant date fair value of $1.5 million. This award is eligible to vest based on the achievement of a minimum non-GAAP diluted earnings per share amount and specified revenue goals over a potential five-year performance period. If the goals are not met during the initial three-year performance period, it may be extended an additional two years at a reduced payout level. Achievement could range from 0% to 400% of the target number of PSUs. The Company will ratably recognized the expense for this award over the applicable service period and adjust the expense for the expected achievement of performance conditions as necessary.

The following table summarizes the Company's PSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

(1) The number of PSUs shown reflects 100% of the target award; actual payouts may differ based on performance.

(2) The number of PSUs vested includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy statutory tax withholding requirements.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $10.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to its PSUs that it expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

13. Earnings per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed as follows:

(1)In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the control number for determining whether including potential common shares in the diluted EPS computation would be antidilutive is earnings from continuing operations.

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the weighted-average number of antidilutive potential common shares for stock-based awards excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation above was 0.8 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the weighted-average number of antidilutive potential common shares for stock-based awards excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation above was 0.7 million and 1.2 million, respectively.

14. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. The majority of these claims and proceedings relate to commercial, warranty, employment, and intellectual property matters. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding or claim cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including management’s assessment of the merits of the particular claim, the Company believes that the disposition of these legal proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, after taking into account recorded accruals and the availability and limits of insurance coverage, will not have a material adverse effect on its cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition.

The Company owns many patents and other intellectual property pertaining to its products, technology, and manufacturing processes. Some of the Company's patents have been and may continue to be infringed upon or challenged by others.
