Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollar figures in tables in thousands, except per share amounts)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Selected Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. All dollar figures presented in tables in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except per share amounts. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for interim reporting. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 29, 2023.

Year End

We use a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. Ourfiscal years ending December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 are each 52 weeks. References to 2024 and 2023 relate to the fiscal years then ended, respectively. The three-month periods ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023 are each 13 weeks. References to the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 relate to the three-month periods then ended.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management. Significant estimates include inventory valuation, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and impairment analysis for both definite‑lived intangible assets and goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits and financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, approximate fair value.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amount is recorded as net sales in our consolidated statements of operations.

Transaction price – In most of our contracts, prices are generally determined by a customer-issued purchase order and generally remain fixed over the duration of the contract. Certain contracts contain variable consideration, including early-payment discounts and rebates. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. Historically, we have not incurred significant costs to obtain a contract. All amounts billed to a customer relating to shipping and handling are classified as net sales, while all costs incurred by us for shipping and handling are classified as cost of sales.

Performance obligations – Substantially all of our performance obligations pertain to promised goods (“products”), which are primarily comprised of fluid delivery subsystems, weldments, and other components. Most of our contracts contain a single performance obligation and are generally completed within 12 months. Product sales are recognized at a point-in-time, upon "delivery," as such term is defined within the contract, which is generally at the time of shipment, as that is when control of the product has transferred. Products are covered by a standard assurance warranty, generally extended for a period ofone totwo years depending on the customer, which promises that delivered products conform to contract specifications. As such, we account for such warranties under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 460, Guarantees, and not as a separate performance obligation.

Contract balances – Accounts receivable represents our unconditional right to receive consideration from our customers. Accounts receivable are carried at invoice price less an estimate for doubtful accounts and estimated payment discounts. Payment terms vary by customer, but payment is generally due within 15 to 60 days of purchase. Historically, we have not experienced significant payment issues with our customers. We had no significant contract assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets in any of the periods presented herein.

Public Offering of Shares

In March 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering of 3.8 million ordinary shares, which included the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional ordinary shares. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $136.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.59 per share and incremental offering expenses of $0.9 million.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The ASU requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods prese nted in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the ASU's impact on the required disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This ASU is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness, and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. The ASU also requires a public entity to provide a qualitative description of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes as well as by individual jurisdictions. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Cloud Computing Implementation Costs

We capitalize implementation costs associated with hosting arrangements that are service contracts. These costs are recorded to prepaid expenses or other noncurrent assets. To date, these costs have been those incurred to implement a new company-wide enterprise resource planning system. The balance of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, net of accumulated amortization, was $10.0 million and $8.1 million as of September 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively, and is included in other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The related amortization expense, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of operations, was $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively.

Note 5 – Leases

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease ROU assets and liabilities, we use the non-cancelable lease term plus options to extend that we are reasonably certain to take. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. As such, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

We lease facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates during the years 2024 through 2031. In addition to base rental payments, we are generally responsible for our proportionate share of operating expenses, including facility maintenance, insurance, and property taxes. As these amounts are variable, they are not included in lease liabilities.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
September 27,2024September 29,2023September 27,2024September 29,2023
Operating lease cost$2,603$2,384$7,587$7,188

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is as follows:

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Income tax information for the periods reported is as follows:

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended
September 27,2024September 29,2023September 27,2024September 29,2023
Income tax expense$166$436$2,021$12,521
Loss before income taxes$(2,610)$(9,989)$(14,856)$(18,565)
Effective income tax rate(6.4)%(4.4)%(13.6)%(67.4)%

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to taxes on foreign income that differs from the U.S. tax rate, including a tax holiday in Singapore from which we will benefit through 2026, and a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, as well as taxes on foreign income that differ from the U.S. tax rate, including a tax holiday in Singapore from which we will benefit through 2026. We recorded an $11.1 million valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2023 based on an assessment of available positive and negative evidence, including an estimate of being in athree-year cumulative loss position in the U.S. by the end of 2023, projections of future taxable income, and other quantitative and qualitative information. We intend to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the valuation allowance.

The ending balance for the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was approximately $4.4 million as of September 27, 2024, of which $0.5 million relates to estimated interest and penalties. The uncertain tax positions that are reasonably possible to decrease in the next twelve months are insignificant.

As of September 27, 2024, we were under examination by California tax authorities.

Note 7 – Employee Benefit Programs

401(k) Plan

We sponsor a 401(k) plan available to employees of our U.S.‑based subsidiaries. Participants may make salary deferral contributions not to exceed 50% of a participant’s annual compensation or the maximum amount otherwise allowed by law. Eligible employees receive a discretionary matching contribution equal to 50% of a participant’s deferral, up to an annual matching maximum of 4% of a participant’s annual compensation. Matching contributions were $0.6 million and $0.7 millionfor thethird quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.0 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively.

Note 8 – Long-Term Debt

Long‑term debt consists of the following:

September 27,2024December 29,2023
Term loan$131,250$135,000
Revolving credit facility—115,000
Total principal amount of long-term debt131,250250,000

Less current portion(7,500)(7,500)
Total long-term debt, less current portion, net$122,782$241,183

On October 29, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which includes a group of financial institutions as direct lenders under the agreement. The credit agreement includes a $150.0 million term loan facility and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility (together, “credit facilities”). Term loan principal payments of $1.9 million are due on a quarterly basis. The credit facilities mature, and amounts due thereunder become payable, on October 29, 2026.

As of September 27, 2024, interest is charged at either the Base Rate or the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield (“BSBY”) Rate (as such terms are defined in the credit agreement) at our option, plus an applicable margin. The Base Rate is equal to the higher of i) the Prime Rate, ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or iii) the BSBY Rate plus 1.00%. The BSBY Rate is equal to BSBY for a particular tenor matching the respective interest period. The applicable margin on Base Rate and BSBY Rate loans is 0.375% to 1.375% and 1.375% to 2.375% per annum, respectively, depending on our leverage ratio, which is based on trailing 12-month Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreement. We are also charged a commitment fee of 0.175% to 0.350%, depending on our leverage ratio, on the unused portion of our revolving credit facility. Base Rate interest payments and commitment fees are due quarterly. BSBY Rate interest payments are due on the last day of the applicable interest period, or quarterly for applicable interest periods longer than three months. As of September 27, 2024, our credit facilities bore interest under the BSBY rate option at 7.19%.

Note 9 – Share‑Based Compensation

The 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for grants of share‑based awards to employees, directors, and consultants. Awards may be in the form of stock options (“options”), tandem and non‑tandem stock appreciation rights, restricted share awards or restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance awards, and other share‑based awards. Forfeited or expired awards are returned to the incentive plan pool for future grants. Awards generally vest over four years,25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and quarterly thereafter over the remaining three years. Upon vesting of RSUs, shares are withheld to cover statutory minimum withholding taxes. Shares withheld are not reflected as an issuance of ordinary shares within our consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, as the shares are never issued, and the associated tax payments are reflected as financing activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Share‑based compensation expense across all plans for options, RSUs, and employee share purchase rights was $4.7 million and $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and$11.0 million and$12.7 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024 and September 29, 2023, respectively.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2017 ESPP”) grants employees the ability to designate a portion of their base-pay to purchase ordinary shares at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the first or last day of each six-month purchase period. Purchase periods begin on January 1 or July 1 and end on June 30 or December 31 (or the next business day if such date is not a business day). Shares are purchased on the last day of the purchase period.

As of September 27, 2024, approximately 2.1 million ordinary shares remain available for purchase under the 2017 ESPP.

Note 10 – Earnings per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation:

Note 11 – Segment Information

Our CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews our results of operations on a consolidated level, and executive staff is structured by function rather than by product category. Additionally, key resources, decisions, and assessment of performance are analyzed at a company‑wide level. Therefore, we operate inone operating segment.

Foreign operations are conducted primarily through our wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore and Malaysia and, to a lesser degree, Scotland, Korea, and Mexico. Our principal markets include North America, Asia, and, to a lesser degree, Europe.

Sales by geographic area represents sales to unaffiliated customers based upon the location to which the products were shipped. The following table sets forth sales by geographic area:
