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 27, 2024.
Year End
We use a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. Ourfiscal years ending December 26, 2025 and December 27, 2024 are each 52 weeks. References to 2025 and 2024 relate to the fiscal years then ended, respectively. The three-month periods ended March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024 are each 13 weeks. References to the first quarter of 2025 and 2024 relate to the three-month periods then ended, respectively.
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.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards updated (“ASU”) 2023-07, 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 update 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 presented in the financial statements. We adopted this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2024 for the annual period ended December 27, 2024, and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued
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.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40). The ASU requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified natural expense categories in the disclosures within the notes to the financial statements. In addition, it requires disclosure of selling expenses and its definition. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

The balance of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, net of accumulated amortization, was $13.7 million and $11.2 million as of March 28, 2025 and December 27, 2024, 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 expenses on our consolidated statements of operations, was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, 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 from 2025 through 2037. 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 Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 28,2025 | March 29,2024 | |
| Operating lease cost | $2,745 | $2,492 |
Supplemental cash flow information related to leases is as follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 28,2025 | March 29,2024 | |
| Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: | ||
| Operating cash flows from operating leases | $2,795 | $2,454 |
Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows:
| March 28,2025 | December 27,2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases | 5.9 years | 6.1 years |
| Weighted-average discount rate of operating leases | 4.8% | 4.7% |
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases are as follows as of March 28, 2025:
| 2025, remaining | $8,631 |
| 2026 | 11,037 |
| 2027 | 10,278 |
| 2028 | 5,614 |
| 2029 | 3,153 |
| Thereafter | 11,799 |
| Total future minimum lease payments | 50,512 |
| Less imputed interest | (7,471) |
| Total lease liabilities | $43,041 |
| Less current portion | $(11,409) |

Note 6 – Income Taxes
Income tax information for the periods reported is as follows:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| March 28,2025 | March 29,2024 | |
| Income tax expense | $1,660 | $913 |
| Loss before income taxes | $(2,899) | $(8,076) |
| Effective income tax rate | (57.3)% | (11.3)% |
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2025 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to taxes on foreign income that differs from the U.S. tax rate, including an accrual for the OECD's Global Anti-Base Erosion OECD Model Rules ("Pillar Two") taxes, the impact of stock option exercises and the impact of a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets. Pillar Two taxes primarily impact our Singapore operations, wherein we were granted and currently participate in a tax holiday expiring in 2026.
The ending balance for the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was approximately $4.0 million as of March 28, 2025. The related interest was insignificant, and the related penalties were $0.6 million. The uncertain tax positions that are reasonably possible to decrease in the next twelve months are insignificant.
As of March 28, 2025, we were under examination by California tax authorities for fiscal years 2020-2022.
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 $0.8 million and $0.7 millionfor thefirst quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 8 – Long-Term Debt
Long‑term debt consists of the following:
| March 28,2025 | December 27,2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Term loan | $127,500 | $129,375 |
| Revolving credit facility | — | — |
| Total principal amount of long-term debt | 127,500 | 129,375 |
| Less unamortized debt issuance costs | (736) | (852) |
| Total long-term debt, net | 126,764 | 128,523 |
| Less current portion | (7,500) | (7,500) |
| Total long-term debt, less current portion, net | $119,264 | $121,023 |
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 that was subsequently amended on September 30, 2024 (the "credit 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 agreement matures on October 29, 2026.
As of March 28, 2025, interest is charged at either the Base Rate or SOFR (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) SOFR plus 1.00%. The applicable margin on Base Rate and SOFR 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. SOFR 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 March 28, 2025, our credit facilities bore interest under the SOFR option at 6.06%.
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 $4.1 million and $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2025 and 2024, 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 March 28, 2025, approximately 2.1 million ordinary shares remain available for purchase under the 2017 ESPP.

Note 11 – Segment Information
We operate as a single business operating segment, which includes all activities related to the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems and components for semiconductor capital equipment. Accordingly, we report asone operating segment. The determination of a single business operating segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information regularly provided to our CODM. The consolidated financial information provided to our CODM does not contain significant disaggregated expenses outside of what is already disclosed in our statements of operations and notes thereto included in these consolidated financial statements. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer, and the CODM reviews and evaluates consolidated net income for purposes of assessing performance, making operating decisions, allocating resources, and planning and forecasting for future periods.
Foreign operations are conducted primarily through our wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore, Malaysia and Mexico, and to a lesser degree, Scotland and Korea. Our principal markets include North America, Asia, and, to a lesser degree, Europe.
