Vishay Precision Group, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Background

Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (“VPG” or the “Company”) is a global, diversified company focused on precision measurement and sensing technologies that help power the future by bridging the physical world with the digital one. Many of our specialized sensors, weighing solutions, and measurement systems are “designed-in” by our customers, and address growing applications across a diverse array of industries and markets. Our products are marketed under brand names that we believe are characterized as having a very high level of precision and quality, and we employ an operationally diversified structure to manage our businesses.

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for the presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair summary of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, included in VPG’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023. The results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. VPG reports interim financial information for 13-week periods beginning on a Sunday and ending on a Saturday, except for the first quarter, which always begins on January 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on December 31. The four fiscal quarters in 2023 and 2022 end on the following dates:


	2023	2022
Quarter 1	April 1,	April 2,
Quarter 2	July 1,	July 2,
Quarter 3	September 30,	October 1,
Quarter 4	December 31,	December 31,

Reclassifications

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

Contract Assets & Liabilities

Contract assets are established when revenues are recognized prior to a contractual payment due from the customer. When a payment becomes due based on the contract terms, the Company will reduce the contract asset and record a receivable. Contract liabilities are deferred revenues that are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of our performance obligations. Our payment terms vary by the type and location of the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

The outstanding contract assets and liability accounts were as follows (in thousands):

Note 5 – Income Taxes

VPG calculates the tax provision for interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology based on projected full-year pre-tax earnings among the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate with adjustments for discrete items. The effective tax rate was 27.6% and 18.6% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, and October 1, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to foreign income taxed at different tax rates and changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to foreign income taxed at different tax rates and changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes imposed by the U.S., various states, and the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Each jurisdiction establishes rules that set forth the years which are subject to examination by its tax authorities. While the Company believes the tax positions taken on its tax returns for each jurisdiction are supportable, they may still be challenged by the jurisdiction's tax authorities. In anticipation of such challenges, the Company has established reserves for tax-related uncertainties. These liabilities are based on the Company’s best estimate of the potential tax exposures in each respective jurisdiction. It may take a number of years for a final tax liability in a jurisdiction to be determined, particularly in the event of an audit. If an uncertain matter is determined favorably, there could be a reduction in the Company’s tax expense. An unfavorable determination could increase tax expense and could require a cash payment, including interest and penalties.

Note 6 – Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

The primary purpose of the changes made in the Credit Agreement Amendment were to update the interest rate provisions to replace LIBOR with SOFR for U.S. dollar denominated loans as well as update the other applicable reference borrowing rates for foreign currency loans which took effect on June 15, 2023. There was no material impact in interest expense or the loan balance as a result of the rate change.

Note 9 – Share-Based Compensation

The Vishay Precision Group, Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2022 plan") permits issuance of up to 608,000 shares of common stock. At September 30, 2023, the Company had reserved 525,239 shares of common stock for future grants of equity awards (restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), or stock options) pursuant to the 2022 plan. If any outstanding awards are forfeited by the holder or canceled by the Company, the underlying shares would be available for re-grant to others. If shares are withheld for payment of taxes, those shares do not become available for grant under the 2022 plan.

On February 28, 2023 and in accordance with their respective employment agreements, VPG’s three executive officers were granted annual equity awards in the form of RSUs, of which 50% are performance-based. The awards have an aggregate target grant-date fair value of $1.9 million and were comprised of 43,243 RSUs. Fifty percent of these awards will vest on January 1, 2026, subject to the executives’ continued employment. The performance-based portion of the RSUs will also vest on January 1, 2026, subject to the executives' continued employment and the satisfaction of certain performance objectives relating to three-year cumulative “adjusted free cash flow” and "net earnings goals", each weighted equally.

On March 9, 2023, certain non-executive VPG employees were granted annual equity awards in the form of RSUs. Certain employees received awards, of which 75% are performance-based and certain employees received awards of which 50% are performance-based. The awards have an aggregate grant-date fair value of $0.6 million and were comprised of 14,338 RSUs. The non-performance portion of these awards (twenty-five percent for certain employees and fifty percent for certain employees) will vest on January 1, 2026, subject to the employees' continued employment. The performance-based portion of the RSUs will also vest on January 1, 2026, subject to the employees' continued employment and the satisfaction of certain performance objectives relating to three-year cumulative earnings and cash flow goals, each weighted equally.

On May 24, 2023, and in accordance with the Company's 2017 Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of an aggregate of 13,923 RSUs to the independent board members of the Board of Directors. The awards have an aggregate grant-date fair value of $0.5 million and will vest on the earlier of the 2024 Annual Stockholders Meeting or May 24, 2024, subject to each applicable director's continued service on the Board of Directors. Vesting of equity awards is subject to acceleration under certain circumstances.

-17-

Note 9 - Share-Based Compensation (continued)

The amount of compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. VPG determines compensation cost for RSUs based on the grant-date fair value of the underlying common stock. The Company recognizes compensation cost for RSUs that are expected to vest and for which performance criteria are expected to be met. The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense recognized (in thousands):


	Fiscal quarter ended				Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022		September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022
Share-based compensation expense	$	656	$	559	$	1,885	$	1,583

During the second quarter of 2023, a net adjustment of $0.1 million decreasing share-based compensation expense was recorded based on the evaluation of performance objectives associated with awards granted in 2021 and 2022. It was determined that certain objectives were not likely to be fully met necessitating a reversal of certain compensation expenses associated with those awards. The result of the evaluation of performance objectives as of the end of the third quarter of 2023 was consistent with the prior quarter's evaluation and therefore there was no further adjustment required during the third quarter of 2023.

Note 10 – Segment Information

VPG reports in three product segments: the Sensors segment, the Weighing Solutions segment, and the Measurement Systems segment. The Sensors reporting segment is comprised of the foil resistor and strain gage operating segments. The Weighing Solutions segment is comprised of specialized modules and systems used to precisely measure weight, force torque, and pressure. The Measurement Systems reporting segment is comprised of highly specialized systems for steel production, materials development, and safety testing.

The chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our chief executive officer. The CODM evaluates each operating segment's performance. The evaluation of the segment's performance is based on multiple performance measures including gross profits, revenues, and operating income, exclusive of certain items. Management believes that evaluating segment performance, excluding items such as restructuring and severance costs, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, acquisition costs, and other items is meaningful because they relate to occurrences or events that are outside of our core operations, and management believes that the use of these measures provides a consistent basis to evaluate our operating profitability and performance trends across comparable periods.

The following table sets forth reporting segment information (in thousands):

Foreign currency exchange gains represent the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023, the change in foreign currency exchange gains and losses during the periods, as compared to the prior year periods, was largely due to exposure to currency fluctuations with the Israeli shekel, the Canadian dollar, the EURO and the British pound.

-20-

Note 12 – Additional Financial Statement Information ( continued)

For the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022, the change in foreign exchange gains and losses during the periods, as compared to the prior year periods, was largely due to exposure to currency fluctuations with the Israeli shekel, the Japanese yen, the Canadian dollar, and the British pound. The change in the dollar-shekel exchange rate resulted in a favorable foreign exchange impact primarily related to the shekel-denominated lease liability for the Sensors facility in Israel.

Included in Other for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 is a $0.2 million loss on the liquidation of two of the Company's European subsidiaries.

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a valuation hierarchy of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

An asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis (in thousands):


			Fair value measurements at reporting date using:
	Total Fair Value		Level 1 Inputs		Level 2 Inputs		Level 3 Inputs
September 30, 2023
Assets
Assets held in rabbi trusts	$	5,571	$	85	$	5,486	$	—

December 31, 2022
Assets
Assets held in rabbi trusts	$	5,427	$	53	$	5,374	$	—

-21-

Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The Company maintains non-qualified trusts, referred to as “rabbi” trusts, to fund payments under deferred compensation and non-qualified pension plans. Rabbi trust assets consist primarily of marketable securities, classified as available-for-sale money market funds at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and company-owned life insurance assets. The marketable securities held in the rabbi trusts are valued using quoted market prices on the last business day of the period. The company-owned life insurance assets are valued in consultation with the Company’s insurance brokers using the value of underlying assets of the insurance contracts. The fair value measurement of the cash equivalents held in the rabbi trust are considered a Level 1 measurement and the measurement of the company-owned life insurance assets is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the long-term debt, excluding capitalized deferred financing costs, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximates its carrying value as the revolving debt is reset on a monthly basis based on current market rates, plus a base rate as specified in the debt agreement. The fair value of long-term debt is considered a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term notes payable, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts for these financial instruments reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets approximate their fair values.

Note 14 – Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs reflect the cost reduction programs implemented by the Company. Restructuring costs are expensed during the period in which the Company determines it will incur those costs and all requirements for accrual are met. Because these costs are recorded based upon estimates, actual expenditures for the restructuring activities may differ from the initially recorded costs. If the initial estimates are too low or too high, the Company could be required either to record additional expense in future periods or to reverse part of the previously recorded charges.

The Company recorded $1.2 million and $0.2 million of restructuring costs during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively and $1.4 million and $1.3 million of restructuring costs during the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. Restructuring costs were comprised primarily of employee termination costs, including severance and statutory retirement allowances, and were incurred in connection with various cost reduction programs.

The following table summarizes recent activity related to all restructuring programs. The accrued restructuring liability balance as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is included in Other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets (in thousands):






Balance at December 31, 2022	$	183
Restructuring charges in 2023	1,431

Cash payments	(705)
Foreign currency translation	2
Balance at September 30, 2023	$	911

Note 15 – Stockholder's Equity

On August 8, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Stock Repurchase Plan”). The Stock Repurchase Plan was originally set to expire on August 11, 2023. On August 8, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors extended the term of the previously approved stock repurchase plan to August 9, 2024. From August 8, 2022 to September 30, 2023, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 120,419 shares of its common stock under the stock repurchase plan for consideration of $3.9 million.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

VPG is a global, diversified company focused on precision measurement and sensing technologies that help power the future by bridging the physical world with the digital one. Many of our specialized sensors, weighing solutions, and measurement systems are “designed-in” by our customers, and address growing applications across a diverse array of industries and markets. Our products are marketed under brand names that we believe are characterized as having a very high level of precision and quality, and we employ an operationally diversified structure to manage our businesses.

Driven by the continued proliferation of data generated by the expanding use of sensors across a widening array of industrial and non-industrial applications, precision measurement and sensing technologies help ensure and deliver required levels of quality of mission-critical or high-value data. VPG’s products are often at the first stage of a data value chain (i.e., the process of converting the physical world into a digital format that can be used for a specific purpose) and as such impact the effectiveness of vast number of critical, high-value downstream processes. Over the past few years, we have seen a broadening of precision sensing applications in both our traditional industrial markets and new markets, due to the development of higher functionality in our customers' end products. Our precision measurement solutions are used across a wide variety of end markets upon which we focus, including industrial, test and measurement, transportation, steel, medical, agriculture, avionics, military and space, and consumer product applications. The Company has a long heritage of innovation in sensor technologies that provide accuracy, reliability and repeatability that make our customers' products safer, smarter, and more productive. As the functionality of customers' products continues to increase, and they integrate more precision measurement sensors and related systems into their solutions, we believe this will offer substantial growth opportunities for our products and expertise.

The impact of the recent Israel-Hamas war

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. These attacks resulted in extensive deaths, injuries and kidnapping of civilians and soldiers. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and a military campaign against these terrorist organizations commenced in parallel to their continued rocket and terror attacks.

As of November 7, 2023 (date of filing), our operations in Israel have operated at near normal levels. The extent and duration of the current war, as well as the possibility of further spread of the conflict to other countries in the region as well as involving other political and military entities in the Middle East, poses risks to our operations and may lead to disruptions which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

While sales to customers in Israel account for a relatively small portion of our revenues, our operations in Israel include executive offices, which are the workplace for key executives including our chief executive officer, as well as two manufacturing facilities located in the central part of Israel which represent approximately 25 percent of our total worldwide revenues. As of November 7, 2023, these facilities remain open and operational. We have implemented a contingency plan that we believe will secure supply of materials and logistics, build safety stock of finished goods and transfer these goods to our distribution centers outside of Israel, and we continue to take measures with regards to the safety of our employees. We may, however, determine to temporarily discontinue production in Israel for the safety of our employees. We could also face future production slowdowns or interruptions at either manufacturing location in Israel due to the impacts of the war, including personnel absences as a number of our employees have been called to active military duty, or due to other resource constraints such as the inability to source materials for production.

The results of operations for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022 include items affecting comparability as listed in the reconciliations below. The reconciliations below include certain financial measures which are not recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted gross profits, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Non-GAAP measures such as adjusted gross profits, adjusted gross profit margin, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net earnings, adjusted net earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA do not have uniform definitions. These measures, as calculated by VPG, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because each presents what management views as our core operating results for the relevant period. The adjustments to the applicable GAAP measures relate to occurrences or events that are outside of our core operations, and management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides a consistent basis to evaluate our operating profitability and performance trends across comparable periods. In addition, the Company has historically provided these or similar non-GAAP measures and understands that some investors and financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company’s performance and in comparing the Company’s financial performance to that of its peer companies and competitors. Management believes that the Company’s non-GAAP measures are regarded as supplemental to its GAAP financial results.

Financial Metrics

We utilize several financial measures and metrics to evaluate performance and assess the future direction of our business. These key financial measures and metrics include net revenues, gross profit margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, and inventory turnover.

Gross profit margin is computed as gross profit as a percentage of net revenues. Gross profit is generally net revenues less costs of products sold, but could also include certain other period costs. Gross profit margin is a function of net revenues, but also reflects our cost-cutting programs and our ability to contain fixed costs.

End-of-period backlog is one indicator of potential future sales. We include in our backlog only open orders that have been released by the customer for shipment in the next twelve months. If demand falls below customers’ forecasts, or if customers do not control their inventory effectively, they may cancel or reschedule the shipments that are included in our backlog, in many instances without the payment of any penalty. Therefore, backlog is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for future periods.

Another important indicator of demand in our industry is the book-to-bill ratio, which is the ratio of the amount of product ordered during a period compared with the amount of product shipped during that period. A book-to-bill ratio that is greater than one indicates that revenues may increase in future periods. Conversely, a book-to-bill ratio that is less than one is an indicator of lower demand and may foretell declining sales. The book-to-bill ratio is also impacted by the timing of orders, particularly from our project-based product lines.

We focus on inventory turnover as a measure of how well we manage our inventory. We define inventory turnover for a financial reporting period as our costs of products sold for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of the reporting period divided by our average inventory (computed using each quarter-end balance) for this same period. A higher level of inventory turnover reflects more efficient use of our capital.

The quarter-to-quarter trends in these financial metrics can also be an important indicator of the likely direction of our business. The following tables show net revenues, gross profit margin, end-of-period backlog, book-to-bill ratio, and inventory turnover for our business as a whole and by segment during the five quarters beginning with the third quarter of 2022 through the third quarter of 2023.

Net revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2023 decreased 5.4% from the second fiscal quarter of 2023 mainly due to decreased revenues in the Sensors and Weighing Solutions reporting segments. Net revenues decreased 4.7% from the third fiscal quarter of 2022 with decreased volume, primarily in the Sensors and Weighing Solutions reporting segments, respectively, partially offset by higher volume in the Measurement Systems reporting segment.

Net revenues in the Sensors reporting segment decreased 10.3% compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2023, and decreased 14.1% from the third fiscal quarter of 2022. Sequentially, the decrease primarily reflected lower revenue of precision resistors in the Avionics, Military and Space ("AMS") market and Test and Measurement end markets and lower sales of strain gages in the General Industrial end market. The year-over-year decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to lower sales of precision resistors in the Test and Measurement market, and lower sales of advanced sensors products primarily in our Other markets (mainly for consumer applications), partially offset by increases in precision resistor sales in the AMS market.

Net revenues in the Weighing Solutions reporting segment decreased 7.3% from the second fiscal quarter of 2023, and decreased 7.7% from the third fiscal quarter of 2022. The sequential and year-over-year decreases in revenues were mainly attributable to lower sales of load cells in our Other markets for precision agriculture and construction applications and lower sales of load cells in our Industrial Weighing market, partially offset by increased sales in the Transportation market.

Net revenues in the Measurement Systems reporting segment increased 4.6% from the second fiscal quarter of 2023 and increased 17.2% from the third fiscal quarter of 2022. Sequentially, the increase in revenue was primarily due to the higher sales of Diversified Technical Systems Inc. ("DTS") products in the AMS and Transportation markets, partially offset by lower sales in the Steel market. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to increased revenue in the Steel market and higher sales of DTS products in the AMS market.

Total Company gross profit margin in the third fiscal quarter of 2023 decreased 0.7% as compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2023 and increased 0.5% from the third fiscal quarter of 2022.

Sequentially, the decrease in the gross profit margin in the Sensors reporting segment was partially offset by the increase in the gross profit margin in the Measurement Systems segment, while the Weighing Solutions reporting segment gross profit margin remained unchanged. In the Sensors reporting segment, the gross profit margin decreased sequentially due to lower volume and temporary labor inefficiencies. In the Weighing Solutions reporting segment, there was no sequential change in gross profit

-27-

margins as lower operating costs offset the impact of lower volume. The sequential increase in the gross profit margin in the Measurement Systems reporting segment was primarily a result of higher volume.

Compared to the third fiscal quarter of 2022, the Weighing Solutions reporting segments had higher gross profit margins, while the Sensors and Measurement Systems reporting segments gross profit margins were lower.

The Sensors reporting segment had a lower gross profit margin due to lower volume and temporary labor inefficiencies, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rates and cost reduction programs. The Weighing Solutions reporting segment increase in gross profit margin as compared to 2022 was primarily due to cost reductions, lower logistics costs, and favorable foreign currency rates, which offset the impact of lower volume. In the Measurement Systems reporting segment, the gross profit margin was lower as compared to the third fiscal quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher volume and higher average selling prices and lower purchase accounting adjustments being offset by higher labor costs.

Optimize Core Competence

The Company’s core competencies include our innovative deep technical and applications-specific expertise to add value to our customers' products, our strong brands and customer relationships, our focus on operational excellence, our ability to select and develop our management teams, and our proven M&A strategy. We continue to optimize all aspects of our development, manufacturing and sales processes, including by increasing our technical sales efforts; continuing to innovate in product performance and design; and refining our manufacturing processes.

Our Sensors segment research group developed innovations that enhance the capability and performance of our strain gages, while simultaneously reducing their size and power consumption as part of our advanced sensors product line. We believe this unique foil technology will create new markets as customers “design in” these next generation products in existing and new applications. Our development engineering team is also responsible for creating new processes to further automate manufacturing, and improve productivity and quality. Our advanced sensors manufacturing technology also offers us the capability to produce high-quality foil strain gages in a highly automated environment, which we believe results in reduced manufacturing and lead times, improved quality, and increased margins. As a sign of our commitment to these businesses, we signed a long-term lease for a state-of-the-art facility that has been constructed in Israel. We fully transitioned to this facility in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Our design, research, and product development teams, in partnership with our marketing teams, drive our efforts to bring innovations to market. We intend to leverage our insights into customer demand to continually develop and roll out new, innovative products within our existing lines and to modify our existing core products in ways that make them more appealing, addressing changing customer needs and industry trends in terms of form, fit, and function.

We also seek to achieve significant production cost savings through the transfer, expansion, and construction of manufacturing operations in countries such as India, Japan, and Israel, where we can benefit from improved efficiencies or available tax and other government-sponsored incentives. In the past several years, we incurred restructuring expense related to closing and downsizing of facilities as part of the manufacturing transitions of our load cell products to facilities in India and China, which marked key milestones in our ongoing strategic initiatives to align and consolidate our manufacturing footprint.

Acquisition Strategy

We expect to continue to make strategic acquisitions where opportunities present themselves to grow and expand our segments. Historically, our growth and acquisition strategy had been largely focused on vertical product integration, using our foil strain gages in our load cell products, and incorporating those products into our weighing solutions. In recent years, we widened our acquisition strategy to include a broader set of precision measurement systems and product companies.

We expect to expand our expertise, and our acquisition focus, outside our traditional vertical approach to other precision measurement solutions, including in the fields of measurement of force, weight, pressure, torque, tilt, motion, and acceleration. We believe acquired businesses will benefit from improvements we implement to reduce redundant functions and from our current global manufacturing and distribution footprint.

Research and Development

Research and development will continue to play a key role in our efforts to introduce innovative products to generate new sales and to improve profitability. We expect to continue to expand our position as a leading supplier of precision foil technology products. We believe our R&D efforts should provide us with a variety of opportunities to leverage technology, products, and our manufacturing base in order to ultimately improve our financial performance.

Cost Management

To be successful, we believe we must seek new strategies for controlling operating costs. Through automation in our plants, we believe we can optimize our capital and labor resources in production, inventory management, quality control, and warehousing. We are in the process of moving some manufacturing to more cost effective locations. This may enable us to become more efficient and cost competitive, and also maintain tighter controls of the operation.

Production transfers, facility consolidations, and other long-term cost-cutting measures require us to initially incur significant severance and other exit costs. We are realizing the benefits of our restructuring through lower labor costs and other operating expenses, and expect to continue reaping these benefits in future periods. However, these programs to improve our profitability also involve certain risks which could materially impact our future operating results, as further detailed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2023.

We are evaluating plans to further reduce our costs by consolidating additional manufacturing operations. These plans may require us to incur restructuring and severance costs in future periods. While streamlining and reducing fixed overhead, we are exercising caution so that we will not negatively impact our customer service or our ability to further develop products and processes.

Goodwill

We test the goodwill in each of our reporting units for impairment at least annually, as of the first day of our fourth quarter, and whenever events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that a possible impairment may have been incurred. Determining whether to test goodwill for impairment, and the application of goodwill impairment tests, require significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Changes in these estimates could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. A slowdown or deferral of orders for a business, with which we have goodwill associated, could impact our valuation of that goodwill.

Foreign Currency

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks, particularly due to transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies of certain subsidiaries. U.S. GAAP requires that entities identify the “functional currency” of each of their subsidiaries and measure all elements of the financial statements in that functional currency. A subsidiary’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. In cases where a subsidiary is relatively self-contained within a particular country, the local currency is generally deemed to be the functional currency. However, a foreign subsidiary that is a direct and integral component or extension of the parent company’s operations generally would have the parent company’s currency as its functional currency. We have subsidiaries that fall into each of these categories.

Foreign Subsidiaries which use the Local Currency as the Functional Currency

Our operations in Europe, Canada, and certain locations in Asia primarily generate and expend cash using local currencies, and accordingly, these subsidiaries utilize the local currency as their functional currency. For those subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities in the consolidated condensed balance sheets have been translated at the rate of exchange as of the balance sheet date. Translation adjustments do not impact the results of operations and are reported as a separate component of equity.

For those subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. While the translation of revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars does not directly impact the consolidated condensed statement of operations, the translation effectively increases or decreases the U.S. dollar equivalent of revenues generated and expenses incurred in those foreign currencies.

Foreign Subsidiaries which use the U.S. Dollar as the Functional Currency

Our operations in Israel and certain locations in Asia primarily generate cash in U.S. dollars, and accordingly, these subsidiaries utilize the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. For those foreign subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, all foreign currency financial statement amounts are remeasured into U.S. dollars. Exchange gains and losses arising from remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities are included in the results of operations. While these subsidiaries transact most business in U.S. dollars, they may have significant costs, particularly related to payroll, which are incurred in the local currency and significant lease assets and liabilities.

Effects of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate on Operations

For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, exchange rates increased net revenues by $0.5 million, and decreased costs of products sold and selling, general, and administrative expenses by $1.6 million, when compared to the comparable prior year period.

For the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023, exchange rates decreased net revenues by $2.7 million, and decreased costs of products sold and selling, general, and administrative expenses by $7.6 million, when compared to the comparable prior year period.

Net revenues of the Sensors segment were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Fiscal quarter ended					Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022		September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022
Net revenues	$	32,532		$	37,879	$	105,524		$	115,909
Change versus comparable prior year period	$	(5,347)				$	(10,385)
Percentage change versus prior year period	(14.1)		%			(9.0)		%

Changes in Sensors segment net revenues were attributable to the following:


	vs. prior year quarter		vs. prior year- to-date
Change attributable to:
Change in volume	(15.5)	%	(8.9)	%
Change in average selling prices	0.9	%	0.9	%
Foreign currency effects	0.5	%	(1.0)	%


Net change	(14.1)	%	(9.0)	%

Net revenues decreased 14.1% and 9.0% for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the comparable prior year periods. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to lower sales of precision resistors in the Test and Measurement market, and lower sales of advanced sensors products primarily in our Other markets (mainly for consumer applications), partially offset by increases in precision resistor sales in the AMS market.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the Sensors segment was as follows:


	Fiscal quarter ended				Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022		September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022
Gross profit margin	35.9	%	40.5	%	39.2	%	40.9	%

The gross profit margin decreased 4.6% and 1.7% for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, when compared to the comparable prior year periods due to lower volume and temporary labor inefficiencies, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rates and cost reduction programs.

Weighing Solutions

Net revenues of the Weighing Solutions segment were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Fiscal quarter ended					Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022		September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022
Net revenues	$	28,970		$	31,399	$	92,090		$	92,626
Change versus comparable prior year period	$	(2,429)				$	(536)
Percentage change versus prior year period	(7.7)		%			(0.6)		%

-32-

Changes in Weighing Solutions segment net revenues were attributable to the following:


	vs. prior year quarter		vs. prior year- to-date
Change attributable to:
Change in volume	(9.4)	%	(2.0)	%
Change in average selling prices	0.9	%	1.8	%
Foreign currency effects	0.8	%	(0.4)	%

Net change	(7.7)	%	(0.6)	%

Net revenues decreased 7.7% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenues were mainly attributable to lower sales of load cells in our Other markets for precision agriculture and construction applications and lower sales of load cells in our Industrial Weighing market, partially offset by increased sales in the Transportation market.

Net revenues decreased 0.6% for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Increased sales of load cells in our Other markets for precision agriculture and construction applications and transducer systems in our Industrial Weighing market were offset by lower sales of our load cell products in our Industrial weighing market.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the Weighing Solutions segment was as follows:


	Fiscal quarter ended				Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022		September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022
Gross profit margin	38.7	%	33.3	%	37.4	%	34.7	%

The gross profit margin for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 increased 5.4% and 2.7%, respectively, as compared to the comparable prior year periods primarily due to cost reductions, lower logistics costs, and favorable foreign currency rates, which offset the impact of lower volume.

Measurement Systems

Net revenues of the Measurement Systems segment were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Fiscal quarter ended					Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022		September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022
Net revenues	$	24,352		$	20,779	$	67,906		$	57,805
Change versus comparable prior year period	$	3,573				$	10,101
Percentage change versus prior year period	17.2		%			17.5		%

Changes in Measurement Systems segment net revenues were attributable to the following:


	vs. prior year quarter		vs. prior year- to-date
Change attributable to:
Change in volume	15.8	%	17.5	%
Change in average selling prices	1.9	%	1.9	%
Foreign currency effects	(0.5)	%	(1.9)	%


Net change	17.2	%	17.5	%

-33-

Net revenues increased 17.2% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the comparable prior year period, and increased 17.5% for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the comparable prior year period. For the fiscal quarter period, the increase was primarily attributable to increased revenue in the Steel market and higher sales of DTS products in the AMS market. For the nine fiscal month period, the increase was primarily attributable to increased revenue in the Steel market.

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the Measurement Systems segment were as follows:


	Fiscal quarter ended				Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022		September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022
Gross profit margin	53.6	%	55.5	%	53.1	%	52.5	%

The gross profit margin for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal month ended September 30, 2023 decreased by 1.9% and increased by 0.6%, respectively, compared to the comparable prior year periods. For the fiscal quarter period, the decrease was primarily due to higher volume and higher average selling prices and lower purchase accounting adjustments, being offset by higher labor costs. For the nine fiscal month period, the higher volume and higher average selling prices and lower purchase accounting adjustments were only partially offset by the higher labor costs.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Fiscal quarter ended						Nine fiscal months ended
	September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022			September 30, 2023			October 1, 2022
Total SG&A expenses	$	26,558		$	25,271		$	80,472		$	77,824

As a percentage of net revenues	30.9		%	28.1		%	30.3		%	29.2		%

SG&A expenses for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 increased $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, compared to the comparable prior year periods due to increases in wages, travel costs, commissions and other fees, partially offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rate impacts.

Restructuring Costs

The Company recorded $1.2 million and $0.2 million of restructuring costs during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.3 million of restructuring costs during the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 and October 1, 2022, respectively. Restructuring costs were comprised primarily of employee termination costs, including severance and statutory retirement allowances, in connection with various cost reduction programs.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 was higher when compared with the comparable prior year periods mainly due to higher borrowing rates in 2023.

The following table analyzes the components of the line “Other” on the consolidated condensed statements of operations (in thousands):


	Fiscal quarter ended
	September 30, 2023		October 1, 2022		Change

Included in Other for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022 was a $0.2 million loss on the liquidation of two of the Company's European subsidiaries.

Income Taxes

VPG calculates the tax provision for interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology based on projected full-year pre-tax earnings among the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate with adjustments for discrete items. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 was 27.6% compared to 18.6% for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 was higher than the prior year period primarily due to changes in the mix of worldwide income and an increase in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 was 27.0% compared to 19.4% for the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2022. The effective tax rate for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 was higher than the prior year period primarily due to changes in the mix of worldwide income and an increase in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and projected cash from operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.

On March 20, 2020, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2020 Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the lenders named therein, Citizens Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as joint lead arrangers and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association as agent for such lenders (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the terms of the Company’s multi-currency, secured credit facility were revised to provide a secured revolving facility (the “2020 Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million, with a sublimit of $10.0 million which can be used for letters of credit for the account of the Company or its subsidiaries that are parties to the Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the 2020 Revolving Facility may be used on an ongoing basis for working capital and general corporate purposes. The aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Revolving Facility may be increased by a maximum of $25.0 million upon the request of the Company, subject to the terms of the 2020 Credit Agreement. The 2020 Credit Agreement terminates on March 20, 2025.

On May 5, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), by and among the Company, the lenders named therein, Citizens Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as joint lead arrangers and the Agent, as agent for such lenders. The Credit Agreement Amendment amended the 2020 Credit Agreement. The primary purpose of the changes made in the Credit Agreement Amendment were to update the interest rate provisions to replace LIBOR with SOFR for U.S. dollar denominated loans as well as update the other applicable reference borrowing rates for foreign currency loans which took effect on June 15, 2023. Interest payable on amounts borrowed under the 2020 Revolving Facility is based upon the following: (a) for revolving credit loans denominated in US Dollars, the SOFR rate plus applicable credit spread; and (b) for revolving credit loans denominated in foreign currencies, at other applicable local reference rates plus an interest margin. Depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, an interest rate margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.75% per annum is added to the applicable SOFR rate to determine the interest payable on the SOFR loans. The Company is required to pay a quarterly fee of 0.25% per annum to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the 2020 Revolving Facility, which is determined based on the Company’s leverage ratio each quarter. Additional customary fees apply with respect to letters of credit.

The obligations of the Company under the 2020 Credit Agreement are secured by pledges of stock in certain domestic and foreign subsidiaries, as well as guarantees by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. The obligations of the Company and the guarantors under the 2020 Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets (excluding real estate) of the Company and such guarantors. The 2020 Credit Agreement restricts the Company from paying cash dividends and requires the Company to comply with other customary covenants, representations, and warranties, including the maintenance of specific financial ratios. The financial maintenance covenants include an interest coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with its financial maintenance covenants at September 30, 2023. If the Company is not in compliance with any of these covenant restrictions, the credit facility could be terminated by the lenders, and all amounts outstanding pursuant to the credit facility could become immediately payable.

Our business has historically generated significant cash flow. For the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $27.1 million compared to $20.5 million in the comparable prior year period. Our net cash used in investing activities for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 was lower compared to the prior year period mainly due to lower capital spending. Our net cash used in financing activities for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 was higher when compared with the prior year period mainly due to a repayment on our revolving credit facility of $7.0 million during the third quarter of 2023.

Approximately 91% and 83% of our cash and cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

See the following table for the percentage of cash and cash equivalents, by region, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

-36-


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Israel	41	%	28	%
Asia	16	%	27	%
Europe	15	%	13	%
United States	9	%	17	%
United Kingdom	10	%	10	%
Canada	9	%	5	%
	100	%	100	%

We earn a significant amount of our operating income outside the United States, the majority of which is deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign jurisdictions. As a result, as discussed above, a significant portion of our cash and short-term investments are held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company will continue to evaluate its cash needs, however we currently do not intend, nor do we foresee a need, to repatriate funds in excess of what is already planned. The Company will evaluate the possibility of repatriating future cash provided such repatriation can be accomplished in a tax efficient manner. In addition, we expect existing domestic cash, short-term investments, and cash flows from operations to continue to be sufficient to fund our domestic operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as debt repayment and capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

If we should require more capital in the United States than is generated by our domestic operations, for example, to fund significant discretionary activities, such as business acquisitions, we could elect to repatriate future earnings from foreign jurisdictions or raise capital in the United States through debt or equity issuances. These alternatives could result in higher tax expense, increased interest expense, or dilution of our earnings. We consider the majority of the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2023, to be indefinitely reinvested.

Adjusted free cash flow generated during the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 was $17.3 million. We refer to the amount of cash provided by operating activities ($27.1 million) in excess of our capital expenditures ($9.8 million) and net of proceeds from the sale of assets ($0.0 million) as “adjusted free cash flow.”

The following table summarizes the components of net cash at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	94,632	$	88,562

Third-party debt, including current and long-term:
Revolving debt	54,000		61,000
Deferred financing costs	(173)		(201)
Total third-party debt	53,827		60,799
Net cash	$	40,805	$	27,763

Measurements such as “adjusted free cash flow” and “net cash" do not have uniform definitions and are not recognized in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance or liquidity. However, management believes that “adjusted free cash flow” is a meaningful measure of our ability to fund acquisitions, and that an analysis of “net cash” assists investors in understanding aspects of our cash and debt management. These measures, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Our financial condition as of September 30, 2023 remains strong, with a current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) of 4.3 to 1.0, as compared to a ratio of 3.9 to 1.0 at December 31, 2022.

Cash paid for property and equipment for the nine fiscal months ended September 30, 2023 was $9.8 million compared to $15.5 million in the comparable prior year period.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

From time to time, information provided by us, including, but not limited to, statements in this report, or other statements made by or on our behalf, may contain or constitute "forward-looking" information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those anticipated.

Such statements are based on current expectations only, and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, expected, estimated, or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include: general business and economic conditions; impact of inflation; potential issues respecting the United States federal government debt ceiling; global labor and supply chain challenges; difficulties or delays in identifying, negotiating and completing acquisitions and integrating acquired companies; the inability to realize anticipated synergies and expansion possibilities; difficulties in new product development; changes in competition and technology in the markets that we serve and the mix of our products required to address these changes; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; political, economic, and health (including pandemics) instabilities; instability caused by military hostilities in the countries in which we operate (including Israel); difficulties in implementing our cost reduction strategies, such as underutilization of production facilities, labor unrest or legal challenges to our lay-off or termination plans, operation of redundant facilities due to difficulties in transferring production to achieve efficiencies; compliance issues under applicable laws, such as export control laws, including the outcome of our voluntary self-disclosure of export control non-compliance; significant developments from the recent and potential changes in tariffs and trade regulation; our efforts and efforts by governmental authorities to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic, such as travel bans, shelter-in-place orders and business closures and the related impact on resource allocations, manufacturing and supply chains; our status as a “critical”, “essential” or “life-sustaining” business in light of COVID-19 business closure laws, orders and guidance being challenged by a governmental body or other applicable authority; our ability to execute our new corporate strategy and business continuity, operational and budget plans; and other factors affecting our operations, markets, products, services, and prices that are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report or as of the dates otherwise indicated in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the market risks previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2023.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are: (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within a control system include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. While the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During our last fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes VPG calculates the tax provision for interim periods using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology based on projected full-year pre-tax earnings among the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate with adjustments for discrete items. The effective tax rate was 27.6% and 18.6% for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, and October 1, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to foreign income taxed at different tax rates and changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2022 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to foreign income taxed at different tax rates and changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes imposed by the U.S., various states, and the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Each jurisdiction establishes rules that set forth the years which are subject to examination by its tax authorities. While the Company believes the tax positions taken on its tax returns for each jurisdiction are supportable, they may still be challenged by the jurisdiction's tax authorities. In anticipation of such challenges, the Company has established reserves for tax-related uncertainties. These liabilities are based on the Company’s best estimate of the potential tax exposures in each respective jurisdiction. It may take a number of years for a final tax liability in a jurisdiction to be determined, particularly in the event of an audit. If an uncertain matter is determined favorably, there could be a reduction in the Company’s tax expense. An unfavorable determination could increase tax expense and could require a cash payment, including interest and penalties.
