Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Nature of Business

Vontier Corporation (“Vontier” or the “Company”) is a global industrial technology company uniting productivity, automation and multi-energy technologies to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving, more connected mobility ecosystem. The Company operates through three reportable segments which align to the Company’sthree operating segments: (i) Mobility Technologies, which provides digitally enabled equipment and solutions to support efficient operations across the mobility ecosystem, including point-of-sale and payment systems, workflow automation solutions, telematics, data analytics, software platform for electric vehicle charging networks, and integrated solutions for alternative fuel dispensing; (ii) Repair Solutions, which manufactures and distributes aftermarket vehicle repair tools, toolboxes, automotive diagnostic equipment and software through a network of mobile franchisees; and (iii) Environmental & Fueling Solutions, which provides environmental and fueling hardware and software, and aftermarket solutions for global fueling infrastructure.

Vontier Corporation was incorporated in 2019 in connection with the separation of Vontier from Fortive Corporation (“Fortive” or “Former Parent”) on October 9, 2020, as an independent company (the “Separation”).

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements present the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Consolidated Financial Statements include all accounts of Vontier and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements also reflect the impact of noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests do not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, therefore, net earnings and net earnings per share attributable to noncontrolling interests are not presented separately in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests have been reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and were insignificant in all periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, uncertainties associated with these estimates exist and actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are valued at cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Accounts and Financing Receivables and Allowances for Credit Losses

All trade accounts and financing receivables are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from trade accounts and financing receivables portfolios. Determination of the allowances requires management to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of credit losses that could materially affect the provision for credit losses and, therefore, net earnings. The Company regularly performs detailed reviews of its portfolios to determine if an impairment has occurred and evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay, including customers’ financial condition, collateral, debt-servicing ability, past payment experience and credit bureau information. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected.

Additions to the allowances for credit losses are charged to current period earnings and amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against the allowances. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required. The Company does not believe that accounts and financing receivables represent significant concentrations of credit risk because of the diversified portfolio of individual customers and geographical areas. Expense associated with credit losses was $51.2 million, $42.5 million and $32.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Financing Receivables

The Company estimates its allowance to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining contractual life of the asset. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled for this measurement based on attributes which includes asset type, duration, and/or credit risk rating. The future expected losses of each pool are estimated based on numerous quantitative and qualitative factors reflecting management’s estimate of collectability over the remaining contractual life of the pooled assets, including:

portfolio duration;

historical, current, and forecasted future loss experience by asset type;

historical, current, and forecasted delinquency and write-off trends;

historical, current, and forecasted economic conditions; and

historical, current, and forecasted credit risk.

Inventories

Inventories include the costs of material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The net realizable value of inventory, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation, is estimated based on assumptions of future demand and related pricing.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Provisions for depreciation have been computed principally by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets which are generally as follows:

CategoryUseful Life
Buildings30 years
Capitalized software3 – 5 years
Leased assets and leasehold improvementsAmortized over the lesser of the economic life of the asset or the term of the lease
Machinery, equipment and other3 – 10 years

Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes to estimates are made prospectively.

Capitalized Software

Costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal-use are capitalized during the application development stage of the project and are presented in Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred.

Other Assets

Other assets principally include contract assets, deferred tax assets and other investments.

Fair Value

Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value for assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within the valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Financial instruments consist primarily of trade accounts receivable, financing receivables, obligations under trade accounts payable and short and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value.

Certain assets and liabilities are carried on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost and are not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. These assets include finite-lived intangible assets, which are tested when a triggering event occurs, and goodwill and identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset may not be recoverable.

As of December 31, 2024, assets carried on the balance sheet and not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis were $1.7 billion of goodwill and $486.5 million of identifiable intangible assets, net.

Refer to Note 10. Financing for the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill arises from the purchase price for acquired businesses exceeding the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired less assumed liabilities. In accordance with accounting standards related to business combinations, neither goodwill nor indefinite-lived intangible assets are amortized; however, definite-lived identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, acquired technology and trade names, are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Refer to Note 7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional information regarding our goodwill and other intangible assets.

The goodwill of each of the Company’s reporting units is assessed for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable. When evaluating for impairment, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The Company’s decision to perform a qualitative impairment assessment for an individual reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible assets in a given year is influenced by a number of factors, inclusive of the size of the reporting unit's goodwill, the significance of the excess of the reporting unit's estimated fair value over carrying value at the last quantitative assessment date, the amount of time in between quantitative fair value assessments and the date of acquisition.

As part of the Company’s 2024 annual impairment analysis, the Company elected to apply the qualitative goodwill impairment assessment guidance in ASC 350-20, Goodwill, for allthree of the Company’s reporting units as of the assessment date, or approximately $1.7 billion of goodwill as of the assessment date. Factors considered in the qualitative assessment include general macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting units, events or changes affecting the composition or carrying value of the net assets of the reporting units, information related to market multiples of peer companies and other relevant entity specific events. Based on the assessment, the Company determined on the basis of the qualitative and quantitative factors that the fair values of the reporting units were more likely than not greater than their respective carrying values, and therefore, a quantitative test was not required.

If the Company does not perform a qualitative assessment, or if it determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount, impairment is determined by using a quantitative approach. The Company identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit, determined using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis, to its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.

Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred requires a comparison of the carrying amount to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested at least annually for impairment. In these analyses, management considers general macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, financial performance and other entity and asset specific events and may require management to make judgments and estimates about future revenues, expenses, market conditions and discount rates related to these assets.

No goodwill or other intangible assets impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Insurance Liabilities

The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to medical claims. The Company has stop-loss coverage to limit the exposure arising from medical claims. In addition, the Company has deductible-based insurance policies for certain other losses, including general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs relating to the Company’s term loan and senior note facilities are recorded as a direct reduction of the carrying amount of the related debt. These costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method, over the respective terms of the related debt.

Debt issuance costs relating to the Company’s revolving credit facilities are recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the respective terms of the related debt.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of promised products or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services.

Product sales include revenues from the sale of products and equipment, which includes software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) product offerings, equipment rentals, fees for referrals to third-party payment processors, and interest income related to our financing receivables.

Service sales include revenues from extended warranties, post-contract customer support (“PCS”), maintenance contracts or services, and services related to previously sold products.

Revenues associated with the Company’s interest income related to financing receivables are recognized to approximate a constant effective yield over the contract term.

For revenue related to a product or service to qualify for recognition, the Company must have an enforceable contract with a customer that defines the goods or services to be transferred and the payment terms related to those goods or services. Further, collection of substantially all consideration for the goods or services transferred must be probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a combination of financial and qualitative factors, including the customers’ financial condition, collateral, debt-servicing ability, past payment experience and credit bureau information.

Customer allowances and rebates, consisting primarily of volume discounts and other short-term incentive programs, are considered in determining the transaction price for the contract; these allowances and rebates are reflected as a reduction in the contract transaction price. Significant judgment is exercised in determining product returns, customer allowances and rebates, which are estimated based on historical experience and known trends.

Most of the Company’s sales contracts contain standard terms and conditions. The Company evaluates contracts to identify distinct goods and services promised in the contract, the performance obligations. Sometimes this evaluation involves judgment to determine whether the goods or services are highly dependent on or highly interrelated with one another, or whether such goods or services significantly modify or customize one another. Certain customer arrangements, including our SaaS product offerings, include multiple performance obligations, typically hardware, installation, training, consulting, services and/or PCS. These elements are often delivered within the same reporting period, however, the Company’s SaaS, PCS and other subscription-based and extended contracts may extend beyond one year. The Company allocates the contract transaction price to each performance obligation using the observable price that the good or service sells for separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. Allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation may require judgment.

The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, the Company primarily records revenue upon shipment as the Company has transferred control to the customer at that point and our performance obligations are satisfied. The Company evaluates contracts with delivery terms other than FOB Shipping Point and recognizes revenue when the Company has transferred control and satisfied the performance obligations. If any significant obligation to the customer with respect to a sales transaction remains to be fulfilled following shipment (typically installation, other services noted above or acceptance by the customer), revenue recognition is deferred until such obligations have been fulfilled. Further, revenue related to separately priced extended warranty and product maintenance agreements is deferred when appropriate and recognized as revenue over the term of the agreement.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Revenue derived from shipping and handling costs billed to customers is included in Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Research and Development

The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing new products, enhancing the functionality, effectiveness, ease of use and reliability of existing products and expanding the applications for which uses of the Company’s products are appropriate. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Restructuring

The Company periodically initiates restructuring activities to appropriately position its cost base relative to prevailing economic conditions and associated customer demand as well as in connection with certain acquisitions. Costs associated with restructuring actions can include termination benefits and related charges in addition to facility closure, contract termination and other related activities, and are recorded when the associated liability is incurred. Refer to Note 16. Restructuring and Other Related Charges for additional information.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in Net earnings, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income within equity. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses were not material in any of the periods presented.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”), based on the fair value of the award as of the grant date.

The fair value of each stock option issued was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which incorporates the following assumptions to value stock-based awards:

Risk-free interest rate: The risk-free rate of interest for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on a zero-coupon U.S. government instrument whose maturity period equals or approximates the option’s expected term.

Volatility: Since the Company does not have sufficient history to estimate the expected volatility of its common share price, expected volatility is based on a blended approach that uses the volatility of the Company’s common stock for periods in which the Company has information and the volatility for selected reasonably similar publicly traded companies for periods in which the historical information is not available.

Dividend yield: The expected dividend yield is calculated by dividing our annualized dividend, based on the Company’s history of declared dividends, by the Company’s stock price on the grant date.

Expected years until exercise: The expected term of stock options granted is based on an estimate of when options will be exercised in the future. As the Company does not have sufficient history to estimate its expected term, the Company applied the simplified method of estimating the expected term of the options, as described in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins 107 and 110. The expected term, calculated under the simplified method, is applied to all stock options which have similar contractual terms. Using this method, the expected term is determined using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the stock options granted.

The fair value of RSUs and PSUs with performance-based vesting conditions is calculated using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant less a discount due to the lack of participation in the Company’s dividend by RSU holders. The fair value of PSUs with market-based vesting conditions is calculated using a Monte Carlo pricing model on the date of grant.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized net of an estimated forfeiture rate on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, with the expense for PSUs with performance-based vesting conditions adjusted based on the likelihood of future achievement of the performance metrics.

Income Taxes

In accordance with GAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted rates expected to be in effect during the year in which the differences reverse. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in the Company’s tax return in future years for which the tax benefit has already been reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items that have already been taken as a deduction on our tax return but have not yet been recognized as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not, a likelihood of more than 50 percent, that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets for each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. If there is cumulative pretax income in a particular jurisdiction in the three-year period including the current and prior two years, the Company generally concludes that the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realizable and no valuation allowance is recognized, unless known or planned operating developments would lead management to conclude otherwise. However, if there are cumulative pretax losses in a particular jurisdiction in the three-year period including the current and prior two years, the Company then considers a series of factors in the determination of whether the deferred tax assets can be realized. These factors include historical operating results, known or planned operating developments, the period of time over which certain temporary differences will reverse, consideration of the utilization of certain deferred tax liabilities, tax law carryback capability in the particular country, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. After evaluation of these factors, if the deferred tax assets are expected to be realized within the tax carryforward period allowed for by that specific country, the Company would conclude that no valuation allowance would be required. To the extent that the deferred tax assets exceed the amount that is expected to be realized within the tax carryforward period for a particular jurisdiction, a valuation allowance is established.

Tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Judgment is required in evaluating tax positions and determining income tax provisions. The Company reevaluates the technical merits of its tax positions and may recognize an uncertain tax benefit in certain circumstances, including when: (i) a tax audit is completed; (ii) applicable tax laws change, including a tax case ruling or legislative guidance; or (iii) the applicable statute of limitations expires. Potential accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax positions are recognized as a component of Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 14. Income Taxes for additional information.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Pension assets and obligations are measured to determine the funded status as of the end of the Company’s fiscal year. An asset is recognized for an overfunded status or a liability is recognized for an underfunded status. Changes in the funded status of the pension plans are recognized in the year in which the changes occur and are reported in other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 11. Employee Benefit Plans for additional information.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which enhances segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and for its interim financial statements beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31, 2025. Retrospective application is required. The Company has expanded its segment disclosures in accordance with ASU 2023-07. Refer to Note 15. Segment Information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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 (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure of certain expense categories that are included within relevant income statement expense captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2027, and for its interim financial statements beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31, 2028, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

The Company has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as purchases and resulted in the recognition of goodwill in its financial statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase price for each acquired business reflects a number of factors including the complementary fit, the acceleration of its strategy, the synergies the business brings to existing operations, the future earnings and cash flow potential of the business, the potential to add other strategically complementary acquisitions to the acquired business, the scarce or unique nature of the business in its markets, the competition to acquire the business, the valuation of similar businesses in the marketplace (as reflected in a multiple of revenues, earnings or cash flows) and the avoidance of the time and costs which would be required (and the associated risks that would be encountered) to enhance the Company’s existing offerings to key target markets and develop new and profitable businesses.

A preliminary purchase price allocation is made at the date of acquisition based on an initial understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As additional information about these assets and liabilities is obtained, the estimates of fair value are refined and the preliminary purchase price allocation is adjusted during the applicable measurement period for items identified as of the acquisition date.

To determine the fair value of the acquired intangible assets and certain previously held equity interests related to its acquisitions, management utilized significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and was required to make judgements and estimates about future results such as revenues, margin, net working capital and other valuation assumptions such as useful lives, royalty rates, technology obsolescence, attrition rates and discount rates. Intangible assets consisting of technology and trade names were valued using a relief from royalty method or using a multi-period excess earnings method while customer relationships were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method. These assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

Acquisition-related costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

The Company did not make any acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The following describes the Company’s acquisition activity during the year ended December 31, 2022.

2022 Acquisitions

Driivz

On February 7, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 81% of the outstanding shares of Driivz Ltd. (“Driivz”) for $152.5 million, net of cash received. Driivz, which is based in Israel, is a cloud-based subscription software platform supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure (“EVCI”) providers with operations management, energy optimization, billing and roaming capabilities, as well as driver self-service apps. The acquisition of Driivz accelerates the Company’s portfolio diversification and e-mobility strategies and positions the Company to capitalize on the global EVCI market opportunities.

The acquisition of Driivz was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business, future market opportunities and the expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations. The majority of the goodwill derived from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company’s final purchase price allocation is as follows:

($ in millions)Final Purchase Price AllocationWeighted Average Amortization Period
Accounts receivable$1.0
Technology56.38.0
Customer relationships28.113.0
Trade names9.216.0
Goodwill125.7
Other assets2.9
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities(12.5)
Other long-term liabilities(15.2)
Purchase price, net of cash received$195.5

The carrying value of the Company’s approximately 19% interest in Driivz prior to the acquisition was $10.3 million, which historically was carried at cost. In connection with the acquisition, this investment was remeasured to a fair value of $43.0 million resulting in the recognition of an aggregate noncash gain of $32.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, which was included in Gain on previously held equity interests from combination of business in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

The Company has not disclosed post-acquisition or pro forma revenue and earnings attributable to Driivz as it did not have a material effect on the Company’s results. Driivz is presented in the Company’s Mobility Technologies segment.

Invenco

On August 31, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Invenco Group Ltd. (“Invenco”) for $83.1 million, net of cash received. The purchase price includes contingent consideration initially measured at $6.1 million. Invenco, which is based in New Zealand, is a global provider of self-service payment and microservice solutions with a range of products including outdoor payment terminals, electronic payment servers, payment switches and cloud services. The acquisition of Invenco further advances the Company’s portfolio diversification and accelerates its digital strategy.

The acquisition of Invenco was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The final purchase price allocation was as follows: (i) $35.7 million to definite-lived intangible assets consisting of developed technology, customer relationships and a trade name with a weighted average amortization period of approximately five years, (ii) $33.0 million to goodwill and (iii) $14.4 million to other net assets. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business, future market opportunities and the expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations. The majority of the goodwill derived from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company has not disclosed post-acquisition or pro forma revenue and earnings attributable to Invenco as it did not have a material effect on the Company’s results. Invenco is presented in the Company’s Mobility Technologies segment.

Other Acquisitions

In addition to the acquisitions noted above, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests intwo other businesses for $43.4 million, net of cash received. The purchase price includes contingent consideration initially measured at $5.5 million. Both of these acquisitions align with the Company’s portfolio diversification strategy and enable opportunities in new end markets.

The Company has not disclosed post-acquisition or pro forma revenue and earnings attributable to these acquisitions as they did not have a material effect on the Company’s results, individually or in aggregate. These acquisitions are presented in the Company’s Mobility Technologies segment.

NOTE 4. FINANCING AND TRADE RECEIVABLES

Financing receivables are primarily comprised of commercial purchase security agreements originated between the Company’s franchisees and technicians or independent shop owners that are assumed by the Company (“PSAs”) and commercial loans to the Company’s franchisees (“Franchisee Notes”) in the Repair Solutions segment. The Company also has financing receivables in its Mobility Technologies and Environmental & Fueling Solutions segments which totaled $14.4 million as of December 31, 2024.

The following disclosures relate to the financing receivables in the Repair Solutions segment.

Repair Solutions Financing Receivables

PSAs are installment sales contracts originated between the franchisee and technicians or independent shop owners which enable these customers to purchase tools and equipment on an extended-term payment plan. PSA payment terms are generally up tofive years. Upon origination, the Company assumes the PSA by crediting the franchisee’s trade accounts receivable. As a result, originations of PSAs are non-cash transactions. The Company records PSAs at amortized cost.

Franchisee Notes have payment terms of up to 10 years and include financing to fund business startup costs including: (i) installment loans to franchisees used generally to finance inventory, equipment, and franchise fees; and (ii) lines of credit to finance working capital, including additional purchases of inventory.

Financing receivables are generally secured by the underlying tools and equipment financed.

Revenues associated with the Company’s interest income related to financing receivables are recognized to approximate a constant effective yield over the contract term. Accrued interest is included in Accounts receivable, less allowance for credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and was insignificant as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Product sales to franchisees and the related financing income is included in Cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The components of financing receivables with payments due in less than twelve months that are presented in Accounts receivable, less allowance for credit losses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

Net deferred origination costs were insignificant as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the net unamortized discount on our financing receivables was $18.5 million and $17.6 million, respectively.

It is the Company’s general practice to not engage in contract or loan modifications of existing arrangements for troubled debt restructurings. In limited instances, the Company may modify certain impaired receivables with customers in bankruptcy or other legal proceedings, or in the event of significant natural disasters. Restructured financing receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were insignificant.

Credit score and distributor tenure are the primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s financing receivables. Depending on the contract, payments for financing receivables are due on a monthly or weekly basis. Weekly payments are converted into a monthly equivalent for purposes of calculating delinquency. Delinquencies are assessed at the end of each month following the monthly equivalent due date and are considered delinquent once past due.

The amortized cost basis and current period gross write-offs of PSAs and Franchisee Notes by origination year as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:

Past Due

PSAs are considered past due when a contractual payment has not been made. If a customer is making payments on its account, interest will continue to accrue. The table below sets forth the aging of the Company’s PSA balances as of:

($ in millions)30-59 days past due60-90 days past dueGreater than 90 days past dueTotal past dueTotal not considered past dueTotalGreater than 90 days past due and accruing interest

Franchisee Notes are considered past due when payments have not been made for 21 days after the due date. Past due Franchisee Notes (where the franchisee had not yet separated) were insignificant as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Uncollectable Status

PSAs are deemed uncollectable and written off when they are both contractually delinquent and no payment has been received for 180 days.

Franchisee Notes are deemed uncollectable and written off after a distributor separates and no payments have been received forone year.

The Company stops accruing interest and other fees associated with financing receivables when (i) a customer is placed in uncollectable status and repossession efforts have begun; (ii) upon receipt of notification of bankruptcy; (iii) upon notification of the death of a customer; or (iv) other instances in which management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Financing Receivables

The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses considering several factors, including the aging of its financing receivables, historical credit loss and portfolio delinquency experience and current economic conditions. The Company also evaluates financing receivables with identified exposures, such as customer defaults, bankruptcy or other events that make it unlikely it will recover the amounts owed to it. In calculating such reserves, the Company evaluates expected cash flows, including estimated proceeds from disposition of collateral, and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. When a loss is considered probable on an individual financing receivable, a specific reserve is recorded.

Contingent Consideration

The Company records contingent consideration liabilities related to potential payments to previous owners of acquired companies contingent on the achievement of certain revenue targets. The Company records a liability for contingent consideration in the purchase price for acquisitions at fair value on the acquisition date, and remeasures the liability at each reporting date, based on the Company’s estimate of the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets. This estimate is based on significant unobservable inputs and represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Contingent consideration liabilities, which are presented in Other in the table above, were $0.5 million and $9.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Warranty Costs

Estimated warranty costs are generally accrued at the time of sale as a component of Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. In general, manufactured products are warrantied against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly and appropriately maintained. Warranty period terms depend on the nature of the product and range from 90 days up to the life of the product. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances, estimated property damage. The accrued warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

NOTE 9. LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company has operating leases for office space, warehouses, distribution centers, research and development facilities, manufacturing locations, and certain equipment, primarily automobiles. For lease agreements with both lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected the practical expedient for all underlying asset classes to account for the lease and related non-lease component(s) as a single lease component. Many leases include one option to renew, some of which include options to extend the lease for up to 15 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases withinone year. Options to renew are included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities if it is determined they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for its leases, as the Company is generally unable to determine the interest rate implicit in the lease. Finance leases were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the following amounts related to operating leases for the years ended December 31:

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has classified $50.0 million and $500.0 million of the Three-Year Terms Loans due 2025 as a current liability and long-term liability, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 21. Subsequent Events for additional information.

Debt issuance costs that have been netted against the aggregate principal amounts of the components of debt in the short-term borrowings section above are immaterial. Given the nature of the short-term borrowings, the carrying value approximates fair value as of December 31, 2024.

The Company made interest payments of $75.6 million, $94.7 million and $67.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the Company’s long-term debt.

The Company has presented $50.0 million and $500.0 million of the Three-Year Terms Loans due 2025 in 2025 and 2028, respectively.

Credit Facilities

A&R Credit Agreement

On April 28, 2021, the Company executed an amended and restated credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”), which consists of a $400.0 million three-year term loan (the “Three-Year Term Loans Due 2024”) and a $750.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. Two of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are Guarantors under the A&R Credit Agreement. The A&R Credit Agreement addresses the discontinuation of LIBOR and its impact on U.S. dollar and multicurrency loans.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial reporting requirements and limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other restricted payments, investments (including acquisitions) and transactions with affiliates. Certain affirmative covenants, including certain reporting requirements and requirements to establish cash dominion accounts with the administrative agent, are triggered by failing to maintain availability under the credit facility at or above specified thresholds or by the existence of an event of default under the facility.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains covenants which require a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.75 to 1.0 and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.0.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for facilities of this nature, including, but not limited, to: (i) events of default resulting from the Borrowers’ failure or the failure of any credit party to comply with covenants (including the above-referenced financial covenants during periods in which the financial covenants are tested); (ii) the occurrence of a change of control; (iii) the institution of insolvency or similar proceedings against the Borrowers or any credit party; and (iv) the occurrence of a default under any other material indebtedness the Borrowers or any guarantor may have. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, subject to the terms and conditions of the A&R Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to declare any outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies, including remedies against the collateral, as more particularly specified in the A&R Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the A&R Credit Agreement.

Three-Year Term Loans Due 2024

The Three-Year Term Loans Due 2024 were to mature on October 28, 2024. The Company was not obligated to make repayments prior to the maturity date but did voluntarily repay the remaining $100.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2023 prior to the maturity date.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding and $750.0 million of borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility, which matures on April 28, 2026, bears interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus an 11.4 basis points SOFR adjustment, plus a ratings-based margin which was 117.5 basis points as of December 31, 2024. The Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to pay lenders a commitment fee for unused commitments of 0.125% to 0.325% based on a ratings grid.

Three-Year Term Loans Due 2025

On October 28, 2022 the Company entered into athree-year, $600.0 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan (the “Three-Year Term Loans Due 2025”) with a syndicate of lenders. The Company’stwo wholly-owned subsidiaries which are Guarantors under the A&R Credit Agreement are also Guarantors under the Three-Year Term Loans Due 2025. On December 30, 2022, the Company drew the entire $600.0 million and used the proceeds to pay off other debt obligations.

The Three-Year Term Loans Due 2025, which mature on December 30, 2025, bear interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus a 10.0 basis points credit spread adjustment plus a ratings-based margin which was 125.0 basis points as of December 31, 2024. The interest rate was 5.94% per annum as of December 31, 2024. The Company is not obligated to make repayments prior to the maturity date, but did voluntarily repay $50.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company is not permitted to re-borrow once repayment is made.

As of December 31, 2024, there was no material difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the debt outstanding.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 10, 2021, the Company completed the private placement of each of the following series of senior unsecured notes (collectively, the “Notes”):

$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) issued at 99.855% of their principal amount and bearing interest at the rate of 1.800% per year;

$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) issued at 99.703% of their principal amount and bearing interest at the rate of 2.400% per year; and

$600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2031 the (the “2031 Notes”) issued at 99.791% of their principal amount and bearing interest at the rate of 2.950% per year.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company was obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and cause to be declared effective within 365 days, a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) each series of Notes for registered notes with terms that are substantially identical to the Notes of each series. The Registered

Exchange Offer was completed on January 18, 2022. Substantially all of the Notes were tendered and exchanged for the corresponding Registered Notes in the Registered Exchange Offer.

The Registered Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), on a joint and several basis, by Gilbarco Inc. and Matco Tools Corporation, two of Vontier’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). Interest on the Registered Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Registered Notes and the Guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general senior unsecured obligations.

The Company may redeem some or all of each series of the Registered Notes at any time prior to the dates specified in the Registered Notes indenture (the “Call Dates”) at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i)100% of the principal amount of the Registered Notes of such series to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such series of the Registered Notes to be redeemed discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points in the case of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes and plus 25 basis points in the case of the 2031 Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest. Call dates for the 2026 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2031 Notes are March 1, 2026, February 1, 2028 and January 1, 2031, respectively.

If a change of control triggering event occurs, the Company will, in certain circumstances, be required to make an offer to repurchase the Registered Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. A change of control triggering event is defined as the occurrence of both a change of control and a rating event, each as defined in the Registered Notes indenture. Except in connection with a change of control triggering event, the Registered Notes do not have any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of the Registered Notes.

The Registered Notes contain customary covenants, including limits on the incurrence of certain secured debt and sale-leaseback transactions. None of these covenants are considered restrictive to the Company’s operations and as of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Registered Notes.

The estimated fair value of the Registered Notes was $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2024. The fair value of the Registered Notes was determined based upon Level 2 inputs including indicative prices based upon observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of the Registered Notes may be attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or the Company’s credit ratings subsequent to the incurrence of the borrowing.

Short-term Borrowings

As of December 31, 2024, certain of the Company’s businesses were in a cash overdraft position, and such overdrafts are included in Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company has other short-term borrowing arrangements with various banks to facilitate short-term cash flow requirements in certain countries also included in Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Given the nature of the short-term borrowings, the carrying value approximates fair value as of December 31, 2024.

Interest payments associated with the above short-term borrowings were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

NOTE 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Certain employees participate in noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. In general, the Company’s policy is to fund these plans based on considerations relating to legal requirements, underlying asset returns, the plan’s funded status, the anticipated deductibility of the contribution, local practices, market conditions, interest rates and other factors.

The pension benefit obligations of the Company’s plans were $13.3 million and $14.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The fair value of the plan assets was $7.9 million and $8.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and include the use of Level 1 and Level 2 inputs in determining the fair value. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the underfunded status of the plans was $5.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively, and was included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assumptions used in calculating the benefit obligations for the plans are dependent on the local economic conditions and were measured as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The net periodic benefit costs were $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company administers and maintains 401(k) Programs. Contributions are determined based on a percentage of compensation. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, compensation expense for participating U.S. employees in the 401(k) Programs was $49.8 million, $49.3 million and $41.0 million, respectively, which is inclusive of expense related to employer contributions of $19.7 million, $19.9 million and $16.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 13. SALES

Refer to a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies regarding sales in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Contract Assets

In certain circumstances, contract assets are recorded which include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is subject to contractual performance obligations rather than subject only to the passage of time. Contract assets were $8.0 million and $6.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract Costs

The Company incurs direct incremental costs to obtain and fulfill certain contracts, typically costs associated with assets used by our customers in certain sales arrangements and sales-related commissions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $101.5 million and $90.9 million, respectively, in revenue-related capitalized contract costs primarily related to assets used by the Company’s customers in certain software contracts, which are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, for the current portion, and Other assets, for the noncurrent portion, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets have estimated useful lives between 3 and 5 years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Total expense related to net revenue-related capitalized contract costs was $41.0 million, $41.0 million and $34.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Impairment losses recognized on our revenue-related capitalized contract costs were insignificant during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Contract Liabilities

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue generally related to customer deposits, post contract support (“PCS”) and extended warranty sales. In these arrangements, the Company generally receives up-front payment and recognizes revenue over the support term of the contracts where applicable. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when revenue is expected to be recognized and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s contract liabilities consisted of the following as of December 31:

($ in millions)20242023
Deferred revenue, current$139.2$132.4
Deferred revenue, noncurrent58.953.6
Total contract liabilities$198.1$186.0

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $101.2 million of revenue related to the Company’s contract liabilities at December 31, 2023. The change in contract liabilities from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and sales of PCS and extended warranty services.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations which are unsatisfied as of the end of the period. The Company has excluded performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less and amounts for variable consideration allocated to wholly-unsatisfied performance obligations. Remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2024 were $466.7 million, the majority of which are related to software-as-a-service and extended warranty and service contracts. The Company expects approximately 65 percent of the remaining performance obligations will be fulfilled within the nexttwo years,80 percent within the next three years, and 90 percent within four years.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by sales of products and services and geographic location for each of the Company’s reportable segments, as it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. In the Company’s disaggregation of revenue by geographic location, high growth markets refers to developing markets of the world experiencing extended periods of accelerated growth in gross domestic product and infrastructure, which include Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific (with the exception of Japan and Australia).

Disaggregation of revenue was as follows for the year ended December 31, 2024:

Applying the valuation allowance methodology discussed in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, valuation allowances have been established for certain deferred income tax assets to the extent they are not expected to be realized within the particular tax carryforward period. The Company’s valuation allowance decreased by $1.2 million during the current year.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has federal, various state, and foreign net operating losses in the amounts of $9.8 million, $74.5 million, and $229.6 million, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards have various expiration periods beginning in 2025, including some with no expiration.

Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31 varies from the U.S. statutory federal tax rate as follows:

Percentage of Pretax Earnings
202420232022
Statutory federal income tax rate21.0%21.0%21.0%
Increase (decrease) in tax rate resulting from:
State income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit)2.7%3.6%4.0%
Non-U.S. income taxed at different rate than U.S. statutory rate0.7%(0.2)%0.7%
Foreign derived intangible income taxation(0.9)%(0.9)%(1.4)%
Nontaxable income(0.3)%(1.3)%(0.9)%
Uncertain tax positions(1.4)%3.3%0.3%
Tax credits(2.2)%(2.2)%(1.3)%
Business reorganizations and divestitures(4.2)%(1.5)%—%
Other(0.2)%0.2%1.5%
Effective income tax rate15.2%22.0%23.9%

Our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due primarily to the effect of state taxes, foreign derived intangible income, tax credits and non-taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there was also favorable impacts related to business reorganizations and divestitures and uncertain tax positions. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there was also favorable impacts related to business reorganization and divestitures and unfavorable impacts related to uncertain tax positions.

We made income tax payments of $93.5 million, $126.0 million and $167.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Gross unrecognized tax benefits were $19.9 million ($22.6 million total, including $3.4 million associated with interest and penalties, and net of the impact of $0.7 million of indirect tax benefits) and $27.0 million ($31.3 million total, including $5.1 million associated with interest and penalties, and net of the impact of $0.8 million of indirect tax benefits) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recognized a benefit of $1.7 million, expense of $3.2 million, and expense of $1.1 million in potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. To the extent taxes are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, substantially all amounts accrued (including interest and penalties and net of indirect offsets) will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision. Unrecognized tax benefits and associated accrued interest and penalties are included in the income tax provision.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding amounts accrued for potential interest and penalties, is as follows as of December 31:

($ in millions)202420232022
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year$27.0$14.0$14.1
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year0.811.81.0

Effect of foreign currency translation(0.3)0.1(0.3)
Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year$19.9$27.0$14.0

The Company is routinely examined by various domestic and international taxing authorities. The amount of income taxes paid is subject to audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. The Company is subject to examination in the United States, various states and foreign jurisdictions. Prior to the Separation, the Company’s operating results were included in Fortive’s various consolidated U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns, as well as certain non-U.S. returns. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a Tax Matters Agreement with Fortive. In accordance with the Tax Matters Agreement with Fortive, the Company is liable for taxes arising from examinations of the following: (i) the Company’s initial U.S. federal taxable year which includes the post-separation period; (ii) separate company state tax returns for all periods; (iii) joint state tax returns for the post-separation period; (iv) international separate company returns for all periods; and (v) joint international tax returns that include only Vontier legal entities for all periods. Global tax positions are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Based on these reviews, the results of discussions and resolutions of matters with certain tax authorities, tax rulings and court decisions and the expiration of statutes of limitations reserves for contingent tax liabilities are accrued or adjusted as necessary. The Company does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change by a material amount within the next 12 months due to the settlement of audits and expirations of statutes of limitations.

The IRS concluded examination procedures on the Company’s initial U.S. federal income tax return for the post-Separation period of 2020. No material adjustments were identified, as such the Company has released all uncertain tax positions associated with the U.S. federal income tax return for the post-Separation period in 2020.The Company remains subject to U.S. Federal income tax audit for 2021 to 2023. The Company is subject to tax audits for its combined/consolidated state income tax returns for post-Separation 2020 as well as 2021 to 2023. The Company remains subject to tax audits for its separate company tax returns in various U.S. states for the tax years 2020 to 2023. Our operations in certain foreign jurisdictions remain subject to routine examinations for the tax years 2017 to 2023.

Repatriation and Unremitted Earnings

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries are intended to be permanently reinvested in non-U.S. operations. The operating plans, budgets and forecasts, and long-term and short-term financial requirements of the parent company and the subsidiaries indicate that there is no current or known future need to distribute cash from foreign subsidiaries for any purpose. Therefore, no deferred taxes have been recorded. A determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these undistributed earnings is not practicable due to the complexity and variety of assumptions necessary based on the manner in which the undistributed earnings would be repatriated.

NOTE 15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The President and CEO of Vontier has been identified as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Segment operating profit is used as a performance metric by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment operating profit represents total segment sales less operating costs attributable to the segment, which does not include unallocated corporate costs and other operating costs not allocated to the reportable segments as part of the CODM’s assessment of reportable segment operating performance, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other related charges and other unallocated income or expense not indicative of the segment’s core operating performance. Corporate costs represent general and administrative expenses for the Company’s corporate functions, including transaction and deal-related costs.

As part of the CODM’s assessment of the Repair Solutions segment, a capital charge calculated based on the segment’s average gross outstanding financing receivables portfolio during the period and an estimated weighted average cost of capital is assessed by Corporate (the “Repair Solutions Capital Charge”).

The CODM does not regularly review any expenses on a segment basis. The CODM is regularly provided with actual and forecasted bookings and sales, and the related core growth for each, and segment operating profit and the related margin on a segment basis to assess segment performance. The CODM also reviews prior forecast to current forecast variances for bookings, sales and segment operating profit as part of the assessment of segment performance.

Intersegment sales primarily result from solutions developed by the Mobility Technologies segment that are integrated into products sold by the Environmental & Fueling Solutions segment. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost plus a margin which is intended to reflect the contribution made by the Mobility Technologies segment. Segment operating profit includes the operating profit from intersegment sales. Intersegment sales for the year ended December 31, 2022 are not significant and have been eliminated in the segments’ results.

The Company’s CODM does not review any information regarding total assets on a segment basis.

The nature of restructuring and related activities initiated in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 focused on improvements in operational efficiency through targeted workforce reductions and facility consolidations and closures. These costs were incurred to optimize the Company’s cost structure in order to provide products and services to the Company’s customers in a cost efficient manner, taking into consideration industry and macroeconomic trends.

NOTE 17. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Company is, from time to time, subject to a variety of litigation and other proceedings incidental to its business, including lawsuits involving claims for damages arising out of the use of its products, software and services; claims relating to intellectual property matters, employment matters, commercial disputes, product liability (including asbestos exposure claims) and personal injury; as well as regulatory investigations or enforcement. The Company may also become subject to lawsuits as a result of past or future acquisitions, or as a result of liabilities retained from, or representations, warranties or indemnities provided in connection with divested businesses. Some of these lawsuits may include claims for punitive and consequential as well as compensatory damages. Based upon experience, current information and applicable law, the Company does not believe that these proceedings and claims will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company records a liability in the Consolidated Financial Statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss does not meet the known or probable level but is reasonably possible and a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed.

The Company’s reserves consist of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts for anticipated developments of these claims as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The specific reserves for individual known claims are quantified with the assistance of legal counsel and outside risk insurance professionals where appropriate. In addition, outside risk insurance professionals may assist in the determination of reserves for incurred but not yet reported claims through evaluation of our specific loss history, actual claims reported, and industry trends among statistical and other factors. Reserve estimates are adjusted as additional information regarding a claim becomes known. While the Company actively pursues financial recoveries from insurance providers, the Company does not recognize any recoveries until realized or until such time as a sustained pattern of collections is established related to historical matters of a similar nature and magnitude. If the risk insurance reserves the Company has established are inadequate, the Company would be required to incur an expense equal to the amount of the loss incurred in excess of the reserves, which would adversely affect the Company’s net earnings.

In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos-related matters, the Company records insurance recoveries that are deemed probable and estimable. In assessing the probability of insurance recovery, the Company makes judgments concerning insurance coverage that it believes are reasonable and consistent with its historical dealings, knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers, and litigation and court rulings potentially impacting coverage. While the substantial majority of the Company’s insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in the analysis of probable recoveries. Projecting future events is subject to various uncertainties, including litigation and court rulings potentially impacting coverage, that could cause insurance recoveries on asbestos-related liabilities to be higher or lower than those projected and recorded. Given the inherent uncertainty in making future projections, the Company reevaluates projections concerning the Company’s probable insurance recoveries considering any changes to the projected liabilities, the Company’s recovery experience or other relevant factors that may impact future insurance recoveries.

Gross liabilities associated with known and future expected asbestos claims and projected insurance recoveries were as follows as of December 31:

Guarantees

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had guarantees consisting primarily of outstanding standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance and bid bonds of $81.4 million and $79.2 million, respectively. These guarantees have been provided in connection with certain arrangements with vendors, customers, financing counterparties, and governmental entities to secure the Company’s obligations and/or performance requirements related to specific transactions.

NOTE 18. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In connection with the Separation and the related employee matters agreement, the Company adopted the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) that became effective upon the Separation. Outstanding equity awards of Fortive held by the Company’s employees at the separation date were converted into or replaced with Vontier equity awards (the “Conversion Awards”). The Stock Plan provides for the grant of stock appreciation rights, RSUs, PSUs, performance based restricted stock awards and performance stock awards (collectively, “Stock Awards”), stock options or any other stock-based award. A total of 17.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock have been authorized for issuance under the Stock Plan and as of December 31, 2024, approximately 8.6 million shares remain available for issuance under the Stock Plan.

Stock options under the Stock Plan generally vest pro rata over afive-year period and terminate 10 years from the grant date, though the specific terms of each grant are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’sexecutive officers, certain other employees and non-employee directors may be awarded stock options with different vesting criteria. Exercise prices for stock options granted under the Stock Plan were equal to the closing price of Vontier’s common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant, while stock options issued as Conversion Awards were priced to maintain the economic value before and after the Separation.

RSUs granted to employees under the Stock Plan generally provide for time-based vesting over three years orfive years, although certain employees may be awarded RSUs with different time-based vesting criteria. RSUs granted to non-employee directors under the Stock Plan vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the date of, and immediately prior to, the next annual meeting of stockholders following the grant date. Prior to vesting, RSUs granted under the Stock Plan do not have dividend equivalent rights, do not have voting rights and the shares underlying the RSUs are not considered issued or outstanding.

PSUs granted under the Stock Plan during the year ended December 31, 2024 vest based 50% on the Company’s adjusted operating profit margin expansion and 50% based on core revenue growth, modified by the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the S&P 500 Index, over a three-year performance period. PSUs granted under the Stock Plan during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 vest based on the Company’s adjusted earnings per share, modified by the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the S&P 500 Index, over athree-year performance period.

Stock awards generally vest only if the employee is employed (or in the case of directors, the director continues to serve on the Board) on the vesting date. To cover the exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs and PSUs, the Company generally issues shares authorized but previously unissued.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation has been recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Pre-vesting forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant by analyzing historical data and are revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units granted under the Stock Plan and subsidiary stock plan further discussed below was $31.6 million, $31.5 million and $24.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which was reduced by the related tax benefit of $5.8 million, $5.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively.

The following summarizes the unrecognized compensation cost for the Stock Plan awards as of December 31, 2024. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years, representing the remaining service period related to the awards. Future compensation amounts will be adjusted for any changes in estimated forfeitures:

Stock Awards$37.0

NOTE 19. CAPITAL STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Capital Stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 2.0 billion shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 15.0 million shares of preferred stock withno par value, with all shares of preferred stock undesignated.

Each share of Vontier common stock entitles the holder toone vote on all matters to be voted upon by common stockholders. Vontier’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and has discretion to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The Board’s authority to issue preferred stock with voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock, could potentially discourage attempts by third parties to obtain control of Vontier through certain types of takeover practices.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares under stock-based compensation plans, determined using the treasury-stock method, except where the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive impact.

Information related to the calculation of net earnings per share of common stock is summarized as follows:

The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations and other market and economic conditions.
