1. Basis of Presentation

Novanta Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Novanta” or the “Company”) is a leading global supplier of core technology solutions that give medical and advanced industrial original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) a competitive advantage. Novanta combines deep proprietary technology expertise and competencies in photonics, vision and precision motion with a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. This enables Novanta to engineer core components and sub-systems that deliver extreme precision and performance, tailored to the customers’ demanding applications.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and the provisions of Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any future periods.

The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared for each quarterly period ending on the Friday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, with the exception of the fourth quarter which always ends on December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which such revisions are deemed to be necessary. The Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience, current conditions, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”):

Standard	Description	Effective Date	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.”	ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.	Upon issuance. Adoption of ASU 2020-04 is elective.	In March 2022, the Company amended the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and replaced LIBOR with SOFR as the new reference rate for U.S. dollar borrowings. The ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.”	ASU 2021-08 requires that entities recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. ASU 2021-08 also applies to contract assets or liabilities from other contracts to which the provisions of ASC 606 apply. The amendments in ASU 2021-08 do not affect the accounting for other assets or liabilities that may arise from revenue contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606, such as refund liabilities, or in a business combination, such as customer-related intangible assets and contract-based intangible assets.	January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted.	The Company early adopted ASU 2021-08 as of January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have any material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers. The transfer of control generally occurs upon shipment when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of distinct products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for such products, which is generally at contractually stated prices. Sales taxes and value added taxes collected concurrently with revenue generating activities are excluded from revenue.

Performance Obligations

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time, upon shipment, rather than over time.

At the request of its customers, the Company may perform professional services, generally for the maintenance and repair of products previously sold to those customers and for engineering services. Professional services for the maintenance and repair of products are typically short in duration, mostly less than one month, and generally involve a single distinct performance obligation. The related revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer upon completion of professional services. The consideration expected to be received in exchange for such services is typically the contractually stated amount. Certain engineering services are longer in duration and the related revenue is recognized over time. As the Company’s right to payment from a customer is based on the value of engineering services performed, the Company recognizes revenue based on the corresponding value to the customer from the Company’s performance completed to date. Revenue from engineering services aggregated to less than 3% of the Company’s consolidated revenue during the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021.

NOVANTA INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

AS OF JULY 1, 2022

(Unaudited)

The Company occasionally sells separately priced non-standard/extended warranty services or preventative maintenance plans with the sale of products. The transfer of control over the service plans is over time. The Company recognizes the related revenue ratably over the terms of the service plans. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using the expected cost plus a margin.

Shipping & Handling Costs

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after the transfer of control over the related goods as fulfillment activities rather than performance obligations. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recorded in cost of revenue at the time of transfer of control.

Warranties

The standard warranty periods for the Company’s products are typically 12 months to 36 months. The Company recognizes estimated liabilities associated with standard warranty periods for its products in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450, “Contingencies,” as the Company has the ability to ascertain the likelihood of the liabilities and can reasonably estimate the amount of the liabilities. A provision for the estimated cost related to standard warranties is recorded as cost of revenue at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate of the costs to service the warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectations of future conditions. To the extent that the Company’s experience in warranty claims or costs associated with servicing those claims differ from the original estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liabilities are recorded at that time, with offsetting adjustments to cost of revenue.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the expected amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a financing component because the transfer of a promised good to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good are typically one year or less. The Company does not disclose the value of the remaining performance obligation for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and advance payments from customers, including amounts that are refundable. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contract liabilities were $7.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The increase in the contract liability balance during the six months ended July 1, 2022 is primarily due to cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, partially offset by $3.6 million of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2021.

Disaggregated Revenue

See Note 15 for the Company’s disaggregation of revenue by segment, geography and end market.

	Total Accumulated
	Other			Cumulative			Pension
	Comprehensive			Translation			Liability
	Loss			Adjustments			Adjustments

The amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss were included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

4. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing consolidated net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

For diluted earnings per common share, the denominator includes the dilutive effect of outstanding common share equivalents. For the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, weighted average shares outstanding for the diluted earnings per common share included the dilutive effect of outstanding restricted stock units, stock options, relative total shareholder return performance-based restricted stock units (“TSR-PSUs”) and certain other performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), determined using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effects of market-based contingently issuable shares from the TSR-PSUs are included in the weighted average common share calculation based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable as of the end of the reporting period, assuming the end of the reporting period is also the end of the performance period. The dilutive effects of attainment-based contingently issuable shares from other PSUs are included in the weighted average common share calculation only when the performance targets have been achieved based on the cumulative achievement against the performance targets as of the end of the reporting period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 1,		July 2,		July 1,		July 2,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

NOVANTA INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

AS OF JULY 1, 2022

(Unaudited)

Automation employees (“ATI-PSUs”) are considered attainment-based contingently issuable shares and were excluded from the calculation of the denominator as the contingent conditions had not been met as of July 1, 2022.

For both the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, 46 thousand EPS-PSUs and 37 thousand OCF-PSUs granted to certain members of the executive management team, and 213 thousand shares of restricted stock issued to the former Laser Quantum non-controlling interest shareholders were considered attainment-based contingently issuable shares and were excluded from the calculation of the denominator as the contingent conditions had not been met as of July 2, 2021.

5. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:

•

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets which the Company can access

•

Level 2: Observable inputs other than those described in Level 1

•

Level 3: Unobservable inputs

Current Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which represent an asset the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company addresses market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as a part of its strategy to manage exposures related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is reported either in other current assets or in other current liabilities as of the end of the period.

Contingent Considerations

On August 30, 2021, the Company acquired ATI Industrial Automation Inc. (“ATI”). Under the purchase and sale agreement for the ATI acquisition, the former shareholders of ATI (the “Sellers”) are eligible to receive contingent consideration based on ATI’s fiscal year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement. The contingent consideration will be payable in the third quarter of 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation method and was recorded as part of the purchase price as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in restructuring, acquisition, and related costs until the liability is fully settled. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $44.0 million as of December 31, 2021. During the three months ended July 1, 2022, the fair value of the contingent consideration was adjusted to $45.0 million based on the final determination of ATI’s 2021 Adjusted EBITDA between the Company and the Sellers.

On July 31, 2019, the Company acquired ARGES GmbH (“ARGES”). Under the purchase and sale agreement for the ARGES acquisition, the former owner of ARGES is eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue targets by the Company from August 2019 through December 2026. The undiscounted range of possible contingent consideration is zero to €10.0 million ($11.1 million). If the revenue targets are achieved, the contingent consideration would be payable annually with the first payment due in the first quarter of 2021. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of €7.1 million ($7.9 million) was determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation method and was recorded as part of the purchase price as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in restructuring, acquisition, and related costs until the liability is fully settled. During 2020, the fair value of the contingent consideration was adjusted to €4.1 million ($5.1 million). During 2021, the Company made the first

AS OF JULY 1, 2022

(Unaudited)

installment payment of €0.4 million ($0.4 million) in March 2021 and adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration to €3.3 million ($3.8 million) as of December 31, 2021. During 2022, the Company made the second installment payment of €0.3 million ($0.4 million) in March 2022. The installment payments are reported as cash outflows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the respective periods. Based on the revenue performance and revenue projection as of April 1, 2022, the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was adjusted to €1.4 million ($1.4 million). There were no other changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022.

On April 16, 2019, the Company acquired Ingenia CAT, S.L. (“Ingenia”). Under the purchase and sale agreement for the Ingenia acquisition, the shareholders of Ingenia are eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue targets by the Company from April 2019 through March 2022. The undiscounted range of possible contingent consideration is zero to €8.0 million ($9.0 million). If the revenue targets are achieved, the contingent consideration would be payable in cash in three annual installments from 2020 to 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of €5.8 million ($6.6 million) was determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation method and was recorded as part of the purchase price as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in restructuring, acquisition, and related costs until the liability is fully settled. During 2020, the Company made the first installment payment of €1.0 million ($1.1 million) in May 2020 and adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration to €2.3 million ($2.9 million) as of the end of the year. During 2021, the Company made the second installment payment of €1.2 million ($1.4 million) in May 2021 and adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration to €1.5 million ($1.7 million) as of the end of the year. The installment payments are reported as cash outflows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the respective periods. During the six months ended July 1, 2022, the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was adjusted to €1.8 million ($1.9 million), which is expected to be paid during the three months ending October 1, 2022.

On December 14, 2016, the Company acquired certain video signal processing and management technologies used in medical visualization solutions. Under the purchase and sale agreement, the former owners are eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue targets by the Company from 2018 to 2021 from products utilizing the acquired technologies. The undiscounted range of possible contingent consideration is zero to €5.5 million ($6.6 million). If the revenue targets are achieved, the contingent consideration would be payable in cash in four installments from 2019 to 2022. As the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business, the fair value of the contingent consideration is recognized when probable and estimable and is capitalized as part of the cost of the acquired assets. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of this contingent liability are recorded as adjustments to the carrying value of the assets acquired and are amortized over the remaining useful life of the underlying assets. Based on revenue achievements against the target, the Company had recognized an aggregate fair value of €5.5 million ($6.3 million) of the acquired intangible assets as of July 1, 2022. The Company made the first installment payment of €2.4 million ($2.6 million) in February 2020, the second installment payment of €1.8 million ($2.2 million) in February 2021, and the final installment payment of €1.3 million ($1.5 million) in March 2022. The installment payments have been reported as cash outflows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. There were no other changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the three and six month ended July 1, 2022.

See Note 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt.

6. Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company addresses market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain foreign currency transaction exposures from future settlement of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities as of the end of a period. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments substantially offset losses and gains on the underlying hedged exposures. Furthermore, the Company manages its exposures to counterparty risks on derivative instruments by entering into contracts with a diversified group of major financial institutions and by actively monitoring outstanding positions.

As of July 1, 2022, the aggregate notional amount and fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was $58.7 million and a net gain of less than $0.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate notional amount and fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was $50.0 million and a net loss of less than $0.1 million, respectively.

The Company recognized an aggregate net loss of $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized an aggregate net loss of $0.1 million and an aggregate net gain of $0.6 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, respectively. These amounts were included in foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded when the consideration for a business combination exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The Company tests its goodwill balances for impairment annually as of the beginning of the second quarter or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that an impairment may exist. The Company performed the most recent annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of the beginning of the second quarter of 2022 and noted no impairment.

Total Senior Credit Facilities	$	407,357		$	434,458

Senior Credit Facilities

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with existing lenders for an aggregate credit facility of $450.0 million, consisting of a $100.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent euro-denominated (approximately €90.2 million) 5-year term loan facility and a $350.0 million 5-year revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities mature in December 2024 and includes an uncommitted accordion option pursuant to which the commitments under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $200.0 million in aggregate, subject to certain customary conditions.

The outstanding principal balance under the term loan facility is payable in quarterly installments of €1.1 million beginning in March 2020, with the remaining balance due upon maturity. The Company may make additional principal payments at any time, which will reduce the next quarterly installment payment due. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may be repaid at any time through March 2027. The Company made principal payments of €2.3 million ($2.4 million) towards its term loan and $10.4 million towards its revolving credit facility during the six months ended July 1, 2022.

On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and exercised a portion of the uncommitted accordion option. The First Amendment increased the revolving credit facility commitment under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by $145.0 million, from $350.0 million to $495.0 million, and reset the uncommitted accordion option to $200.0 million for potential future expansion.

On October 5, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to exercise the accordion option. The Fourth Amendment increased the revolving credit facility commitment under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by $200.0 million, from $495.0 million to $695.0 million, and reset the uncommitted accordion option to $200.0 million for potential future expansion.

NOVANTA INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

AS OF JULY 1, 2022

(Unaudited)

On March 10, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date from December 31, 2024 to March 10, 2027, update the pricing grid, replace LIBOR with SOFR as the reference rate for U.S. dollar borrowings, and increase the uncommitted accordion option from $200 million to $350 million. In connection with the Fifth Amendment, the Company capitalized $2.5 million deferred financing costs and recorded a $0.6 million loss from the write-off of a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs.

The Company is required to satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of July 1, 2022.

Liens

The Company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are secured, on a senior basis, by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Novanta Inc.

Fair Value of Debt

As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the Company’s debt approximated its fair value based on current rates available to the Company for debt of similar maturities. The fair value of the Company’s debt is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

10. Leases

Most leases held by the Company expire between 2022 and 2036. In the U.K., where longer lease terms are more common, the Company has a land lease that extends through 2078. Certain leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 10 years, and options to terminate the leases within one year. The exercise of lease renewal or termination options is at the Company’s sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewal options to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes the renewal periods in the lease term when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. The depreciable lives of the right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements are limited to the expected lease terms.

The following table summarizes the components of lease costs (in thousands):

11. Preferred and Common Shares and Share-Based Compensation

Preferred Shares

In May 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the Company’s articles to authorize up to 7.0 million preferred shares for future issuance. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to designate and issue one or more series of preferred shares, fix the rights, preferences and designation, as deemed necessary or advisable, relating to the preferred shares, provided that no shares of any series may be entitled to more than one vote per share. As of July 1, 2022, no preferred shares had been issued and outstanding.

Common Share Repurchases

In October 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “2018 Repurchase Plan”), authorizing the repurchase of $25.0 million worth of the Company’s common shares. During the six months ended July 1, 2022, the Company repurchased 80 thousand shares for an aggregate purchase price of $9.5 million at an average price of $118.97 per share under the 2018 Repurchase Plan. As of July 1, 2022, the Company had repurchased a cumulative total of 264 thousand shares under the 2018 Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million at an average price of $94.57 per share.

In February 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan (the “2020 Repurchase Plan”), authorizing the repurchase of an additional $50.0 million worth of the Company’s common shares. During the six months ended July 1, 2022, the Company repurchase 4 thousand shares for an aggregate purchase price of $0.5 million at an average price of $116.95 per share under the 2020 Repurchase Plan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

AS OF JULY 1, 2022

(Unaudited)

Share-based compensation expense reported in selling, general and administrative expenses included expenses related to restricted stock units and deferred stock units granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors of $1.1 million and $1.1 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units

The Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have generally been issued with vesting periods ranging from zero to five years and vest based solely on service conditions. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company reduces the compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate which is based on anticipated forfeitures and historical forfeiture experience.

Deferred stock units (“DSUs”) are granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Compensation expense associated with the DSUs is recognized in full on the date of grant, as the DSUs are fully vested and non-forfeitable upon grant. There were 88 thousand and 91 thousand DSUs outstanding as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Outstanding DSUs are included in the calculation of weighted average basic shares outstanding for the respective periods.

The table below summarizes activities relating to RSUs and DSUs issued and outstanding under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan during the six months ended July 1, 2022:

	Shares (In thousands)			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2021		292		$	115.42
Granted		101		$	136.54
Vested		(130	)	$	115.17
Forfeited		(10	)	$	127.12
Unvested at July 1, 2022		253		$	123.71
Expected to vest as of July 1, 2022		231

The total fair value of RSUs and DSUs that vested during the six months ended July 1, 2022 was $17.4 million based on the market price of the underlying shares on the date of vesting.

Performance Stock Units

The Company typically grants two types of performance-based stock awards, EPS-PSUs and TSR-PSUs, to certain members of the executive management team on an annual basis. Both types of performance-based restricted stock units generally cliff vest on the first day following the end of the three-year performance period.

The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following the vesting of EPS-PSUs is determined based on the Company’s cumulative non-GAAP EPS over a three-year performance period against the performance targets established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range of zero to 200% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the performance period based on the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting at the end of the three-year performance cycle. This probability assessment is performed quarterly and the cumulative effect of a change in the estimated compensation expense, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such determination is made.

The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following the vesting of TSR-PSUs is determined based on the relative market performance of the Company’s common shares compared to the Russell 2000 Index over a three-year performance period using a payout formula established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range of zero to 200% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the fair value of the TSR-PSUs, determined using the Monte Carlo valuation method as of the grant date, on a straight-line basis from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. Compensation expense will not be affected by the number of TSR-PSUs that will ultimately vest at the end of the three-year performance period.

In January 2022, the Company granted ATI-PSUs to ATI employees. The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting is determined based on a performance matrix for a four-year performance period against certain performance targets and will be in the range of zero to 100% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the performance period based on the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting at the end of the four-year performance cycle. This probability assessment is performed quarterly and the cumulative effect of a change in the estimated compensation expense, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which such determination is made.

The table below summarizes the activities relating to the performance-based awards issued and outstanding under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Incentive Plan during the six months ended July 1, 2022:

	Shares (In thousands)			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested at December 31, 2021		162		$	122.26
Granted		102		$	158.55
Vested		(41	)	$	108.58
Forfeited		(8	)	$	153.47
Unvested at July 1, 2022		215		$	144.12
Expected to vest as of July 1, 2022		210

The unvested PSUs are shown at target in the table above. As of July 1, 2022, the maximum number of common shares to be earned under these PSU grants was approximately 337 thousand shares.

The total fair value of PSUs that vested during the six months ended July 1, 2022 was $7.2 million based on the market price of the underlying common shares on the date of vesting.

The fair value of the TSR-PSUs at the date of grant was estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method with the following assumptions:

	Six Months Ended July 1, 2022
Grant-date stock price	$	135.86
Expected volatility		40.70	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.69	%
Expected annual dividend yield		—
Fair value	$	141.52

Stock Options

In February 2022, the Company granted 40 thousand stock options to certain members of the executive management team to purchase common shares of the Company at a strike price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant. The stock options vest ratably over a three-year period from the date of grant and expire on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to the stock options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period in the consolidated statement of operations.

The aggregate Black-Scholes fair value of $1.9 million for the stock options granted during the six months ended July 1, 2022 was estimated using the following assumptions as of the grant date:

	Six Months Ended July 1, 2022
Expected option term in year		4.5
Expected volatility		39.3	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.83	%
Expected annual dividend yield		—

The expected option term was calculated using the simplified method permitted under Codification of Staff Accounting Bulletins Topic 14, “Share-Based Payment”. The expected volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common shares over the expected option term. Risk-free interest rate was based upon treasury instrument whose term was half year longer than the expected option term. The expected annual dividend yield is zero as the Company does not have plans to issue dividends.

12. Income Taxes

The Company determines its estimated annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period based on full-year forecasted pre-tax income and facts known at that time. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax income at the end of each interim period with the cumulative effect of any changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate being recorded in the period in which the changes are determined. The tax effect of significant unusual items is reflected in the period in which they occur. Since the Company is incorporated in Canada, it is required to use Canada’s statutory tax rate of 29.0% in the determination of the estimated annual effective tax rate.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance on balances of certain U.S. state net operating losses and certain non-U.S. tax attributes that the Company has determined are not more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance is required when, based upon an assessment of various factors, including recent operating loss history, anticipated future earnings, and prudent and reasonable tax planning strategies, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In conjunction with the Company’s ongoing review of its actual results and anticipated future earnings, the Company continuously reassesses the possibility of adding a new or additional valuation allowance or releasing the valuation allowance currently in place on its deferred tax assets.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 15.8% for the three months ended July 1, 2022 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, and R&D tax credits, partially offset by disallowed compensation and uncertain tax position accruals.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

AS OF JULY 1, 2022

(Unaudited)

The Company’s effective tax rate of 12.4% for the six months ended July 1, 2022 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, R&D tax credits, and windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards during the period, partially offset by disallowed compensation and uncertain tax position accruals. For the six months ended July 1, 2022, the windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards had a benefit of 1.4% on the Company’s effective tax rate.

Beginning in January 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) requires research and development (“R&D”) expenditures be capitalized and amortized for income tax purposes over five years for domestic research and fifteen years for foreign research, rather than being deducted as incurred. This has the effect of increasing the Company’s cash taxes and deferred tax assets. Since January 2022, the Company has recognized deferred tax assets of $6.3 million for the relevant R&D expenditures. This provision also has an indirect benefit of 3% on the Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2022, as the Company’s estimated Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction has increased as a result of increased US taxable income. The provision for income taxes for both the three months and the six months ended July 1, 2022 reflects the impact of the TCJA.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 19.2% for the three months ended July 2, 2021 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, other tax credits, and a release of uncertain tax position reserves, partially offset by the revaluation of long term deferred tax balances resulting from the U.K. corporate tax rate change.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 3.5% for the six months ended July 2, 2021 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, other tax credits, a release of uncertain tax position reserves, and windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards, partially offset by the revaluation of long term deferred tax balances resulting from the U.K. corporate tax rate change during the period. For the six months ended July 2, 2021, the windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards had a benefit of 14.7% on the Company’s effective tax rate.

2020 Restructuring

As a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluations and efforts to reduce its operating costs, while improving efficiency and effectiveness, the Company initiated the 2020 restructuring program in the third quarter of 2020. This program is focused on reducing operating complexity in the Company, including reducing infrastructure costs and streamlining the Company’s operating model to better serve its customers. In addition, the program is focused on cost reduction actions that improve gross margins for the overall company. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, the Company recorded $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in severance and other costs in connection with the 2020 restructuring program. As of July 1, 2022, the Company had incurred cumulative costs related to this restructuring plan totaling $9.3 million.

NOVANTA INC.

AS OF JULY 1, 2022

(Unaudited)

Legal Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure on a quarterly basis. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to any pending claims and litigations and may revise its estimates. When a material loss contingency is reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the potential loss or a range of potential losses, if such an estimate can be reasonably made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements but there can be no assurance that any such claims, or any similar claims, would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of its operations, the Company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to counterparties in transactions such as business dispositions, sale of assets, sale of products and operating leases. Additionally, the by-laws of the Company require it to indemnify certain current or former directors, officers, and employees of the Company against expenses incurred by them in connection with each proceeding in which they are involved as a result of serving or having served in certain capacities. Indemnification is not available with respect to a proceeding as to which it has been adjudicated that the person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that the action was in the best interests of the Company. Certain of the Company’s officers and directors are also a party to indemnification agreements with the Company. These indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that the director or officer shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection with any proceeding by reason of their relationship with the Company. In addition, the indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by such director or officer in connection with any proceeding covered by the indemnification agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein and to the extent such advancement is not prohibited by law. The indemnification agreements also set out the procedures for determining entitlement to indemnification, the requirements relating to notice and defense of claims for which indemnification is sought, the procedures for enforcement of indemnification rights, the limitations on and exclusions from indemnification, and the minimum levels of directors and officers liability insurance to be maintained by the Company.

15. Segment Information

Reportable Segments

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) utilizes financial information to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. The Company evaluates the performance of and allocates resources to its segments based on revenue, gross profit and operating profit. The Company’s reportable segments have been identified based on commonality and adjacency of technologies, applications and customers amongst the Company’s individual product lines. The Company determined that disclosing revenue by specific product was impracticable due to the highly customized and extensive portfolio of technologies offered to customers.

Based upon the information provided to the CODM, the Company has determined that it operates in three reportable segments: Photonics, Vision, and Precision Motion. The reportable segments and their principal activities are described below.

Accounting Period

The interim consolidated financial statements of Novanta Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, “Novanta”, “we”, “us”, “our”) are prepared for each quarterly period ending on the Friday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter which always ends on December 31.

Business Overview

We are a leading global supplier of core technology solutions that give medical and advanced industrial original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) a competitive advantage. We combine deep proprietary technology expertise and competencies in photonics, vision and precision motion with a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. This enables us to engineer core components and sub-systems that deliver extreme precision and performance, tailored to our customers' demanding applications.

Reportable Segments

We operate in three reportable segments: Photonics, Vision, and Precision Motion. The reportable segments and their principal activities are summarized below.

Photonics

Our Photonics segment designs, manufactures and markets photonics-based solutions, including laser scanning, laser beam delivery, CO2 laser, solid state laser, ultrafast laser, and optical light engine products, to customers worldwide. The segment serves highly demanding photonics-based applications for advanced industrial processes, metrology, medical and life science imaging, DNA sequencing, and medical laser procedures, particularly ophthalmology applications. The vast majority of the segment’s product offerings are sold to OEM customers. The segment sells these products both directly, utilizing a highly technical sales force, and indirectly, through resellers and distributors.

Vision

Our Vision segment designs, manufactures and markets a range of medical grade technologies, including medical insufflators, pumps and related disposables; visualization solutions; wireless technologies, video recorder and video integration technologies for operating room integrations; optical data collection and machine vision technologies; radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technologies; thermal chart recorders; spectrometry technologies; and embedded touch screen solutions. The vast majority of the segment’s product offerings are sold to OEM customers. The segment sells these products both directly, utilizing a highly technical sales force, and indirectly, through resellers and distributors.

Precision Motion

Our Precision Motion segment designs, manufactures and markets optical and inductive encoders, precision motors, servo drives and motion control solutions, integrated stepper motors, intelligent robotic end-of-arm technology solutions, air bearings, and air bearing spindles to customers worldwide. The vast majority of the segment’s product offerings are sold to OEM customers. The segment sells these products both directly, utilizing a highly technical sales force, and indirectly, through resellers and distributors.

End Markets

We primarily operate in two end markets: the medical market and the advanced industrial market.

Medical Market

For the six months ended July 1, 2022, the medical market accounted for approximately 47% of our revenue. Revenue from our products sold to the medical market is generally affected by hospital and other healthcare provider capital spending, growth rates of surgical procedures, changes in regulatory requirements and laws, aggregation of purchasing by healthcare networks, changes in technology requirements, timing of OEM customers’ product development and new product launches, changes in customer or patient preferences, and general demographic trends.

Advanced Industrial Market

For the six months ended July 1, 2022, the advanced industrial market accounted for approximately 53% of our revenue. Revenue from our products sold to the advanced industrial market is affected by several factors, including changing technology requirements and preferences of our customers, productivity or quality investments in a manufacturing environment, financial conditions of our customers, changes in regulatory requirements and laws, and general economic conditions. We believe that the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) on manufacturing activities specific to different regions around the world may provide an indication of the impact of general economic conditions on our sales into the advanced industrial market.

Strategy

Our strategy is to drive sustainable, profitable growth through short-term and long-term initiatives, including:

•

disciplined focus on our diversified business model of providing components and sub-systems to long life-cycle OEM customer platforms in attractive medical and advanced industrial niche markets;

•

improving our business mix to increase medical sales as a percentage of total revenue by:

introducing new products aimed at attractive medical applications, such as minimally invasive and robotic surgery, ophthalmology, patient monitoring, drug delivery, clinical laboratory testing and life science equipment;

deepening our key account management relationships with and driving cross selling of our product offerings to leading medical equipment manufacturers; and

pursuing complementary medical technology acquisitions;

•

increasing our penetration of high growth advanced industrial applications, such as laser materials processing, intelligent end-of-arm robotic technology solutions, robotics, laser additive manufacturing, automation and metrology, by working closely with OEM customers to launch application specific products that closely match the requirements of each application;

•

broadening our portfolio of enabling proprietary technologies and capabilities through increased investment in new product development, and investments in application development to further penetrate existing customers, while expanding the applicability of our solutions to new markets;

•

•

attracting, retaining, and developing world-class talented and motivated employees.

Significant Events and Updates

Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On March 10, 2022, we entered into an amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the third amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of December 31, 2019 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Fifth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date thereof from December 31, 2024 to March 10, 2027, update the pricing grid, replace LIBOR with SOFR as the reference rate for U.S. dollar borrowings, and increase the uncommitted accordion option from $200 million to $350 million.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken proactive, aggressive actions to protect the health and safety of our employees. We established steering committees at both the corporate level and at each of our major facilities to provide leadership for and manage our COVID-19 risk mitigation actions and countermeasures. We established rigorous safety measures in all of our facilities and have adapted our COVID-19 safety measures as the pandemic and related government mandates evolved over the past

two years. We expect to continue some of these measures until we determine that the COVID-19 pandemic is adequately contained for purposes of our business. We may take further actions as government authorities require or recommend or as we determine to be in the best interest of our employees. In connection with our COVID-19 remediation actions, we have incurred additional costs to protect the health of our employees, including investments in technologies and monitoring equipment, weekly testing of unvaccinated employees for COVID-19 at certain locations and rearranging some of our facilities to accommodate social distancing and flexible post-pandemic work environment.

Infection rates and the corresponding public health restrictions vary across the countries in which we operate. Many governmental authorities have continued to implement numerous evolving measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, masking recommendations and mandates, vaccine recommendations and mandates, limitations on gatherings, mandatory quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business shutdowns. While COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed in the U.S. and Europe, in response to outbreaks of infection in various locations within China, governmental authorities have implemented lockdown orders in some areas, significantly slowing economic and business activities. Our manufacturing and distribution operations in Suzhou, China have been impacted to a limited degree by these recent lockdowns. The extent to which government lockdowns in China or any other country will impact our business and our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Through July 1, 2022, we have experienced disruptions to our supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and global electronics and other raw material shortages. While we regularly monitor the manufacturing output of companies in our supply chain, disruptions to our suppliers and/or sub-suppliers caused by these events could further challenge our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products, adversely affecting our operations and customer relationships.

To mitigate the risk of any potential supply interruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic and the global electronics and other raw material shortages, we are identifying alternative suppliers and distributors, sourcing raw materials from different supplier and distributor locations, modifying our product designs where feasible to allow for alternative components to be used without compromising quality, performance or other requirements, in-sourcing production of parts where feasible, and taking other actions to ensure a sustainable supply of raw materials. Despite our mitigation actions, if certain suppliers cannot produce a key part or component for us, or if the receipt of certain materials is otherwise delayed, we may miss our scheduled shipment deadlines and our relationship with customers may be harmed.

Additionally, restrictions on or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of air transports, port closures and backlogs, and increased border controls or closures, have resulted in higher costs and delays, both for obtaining raw materials from suppliers and for shipping finished products to customers.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the global electronics and other raw material shortages have caused inflationary pressures on the market prices for certain of our parts and primary raw materials as well as increases in the costs of labor, freight, packaging, energy and other consumables that are used in our manufacturing processes. We have generally been able to offset increases in these costs through various productivity and cost reduction initiatives, as well as adjusting our selling prices to pass through some of these higher costs to our customers; however, our ability to raise our selling prices depends on market conditions and competitive dynamics. Given the timing of our actions compared to the timing of these inflationary pressures, there may be periods during which we are unable to fully recover the increases in our costs.

Russia Ukraine Conflict

In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine. In response, the United States, the European Union, and several other countries imposed economic and trade sanctions and other restrictions (collectively, “global sanctions”) targeting Russia and Belarus. Russia then imposed retaliatory economic measures against the United States, the European Union, and several other countries.

Our sales to Russia are not material. We continue to assess the conflict and related global sanctions and take steps to attempt to mitigate the potential negative impact on our business. Any longer-term impact to our business is currently unknown due to the uncertainty around the duration of the conflict, any further global sanctions and their broader impact on the global economy and inflation.

The restructuring costs decreased $0.6 million related to decreased expenses for the 2020 restructuring plan.

We recorded restructuring, acquisition, and related costs of $1.0 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022, versus $8.4 million during the prior year period. The acquisition and related costs decreased primarily due to a $2.4 million reduction in earnout expenses related to prior year acquisitions, a $1.8 million reduction in legal fees and a $1.5 million reduction in other acquisition and related expenses. The restructuring costs decreased $1.5 million related to decreased expenses for the 2020 restructuring plan.

Photonics

Photonics segment operating income was $14.0 million, or 20.1% of revenue, during the three months ended July 1, 2022, versus $14.2 million, or 22.8% of revenue, during the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to an increase in R&D costs of $1.1 million and an increase in S&GA expenses of $0.4 million, partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $1.6 million.

Photonics segment operating income was $27.4 million, or 20.7% of revenue, during the six months ended July 1, 2022, versus $26.6 million, or 22.0% of revenue, during the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $1.9 million, and a decrease in restructuring, acquisition, and related charges of $1.1 million, partially offset by an increase in R&D costs of $1.0 million and an increase in S&GA expenses of $0.9 million.

Vision

Vision segment operating income was $7.0 million, or 10.7% of revenue, during the three months ended July 1, 2022, versus $3.2 million, or 5.1% of revenue, during the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $2.1 million and a decrease in restructuring, acquisition, and related charges of $1.3 million.

Vision segment operating income was $12.1 million, or 9.5% of revenue, during the six months ended July 1, 2022, versus $6.6 million, or 5.0% of revenue, during the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to a decrease in restructuring, acquisition, and related charges of $2.9 million, a decrease in R&D costs of $1.4 million, a decrease in amortization expense of 0.8 million, and an increase in gross profit of $0.4 million.

Precision Motion

Precision Motion segment operating income was $14.1 million, or 17.5% of revenue, during the three months ended July 1, 2022, versus $12.3 million, or 29.4% of revenue, during the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $18.0 million, partially offset by increases in R&D spending of $3.8 million, SG&A expenses of $8.0 million, and amortization expense of $4.0 million primarily as a result of prior year acquisitions.

Precision Motion segment operating income was $32.4 million, or 20.3% of revenue, during the six months ended July 1, 2022, versus $19.7 million, or 25.2% of revenue, during the prior year period. The increase in operating income was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $40.1 million, and a decrease in restructuring, acquisition, and related charges of $1.6 million, partially offset by increases in R&D spending of $7.3 million, SG&A expenses of $13.7 million, and amortization expense of $8.0 million primarily as a result of prior year acquisitions.

Unallocated Corporate and Shared Services

Unallocated corporate and shared services costs primarily represent costs of corporate and shared services functions that are not allocated to the operating segments, including certain restructuring and most acquisition costs. These costs for the three months ended July 1, 2022 decreased by $1.9 million versus the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in costs related to COVID-19 testing for employees of $1.4 million included in cost of revenue, and a decrease in restructuring, acquisition, and related charges of $1.5 million, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses of $0.8 million.

Unallocated corporate and shared services costs for the six months ended July 1, 2022 decreased by $1.5 million versus the prior year period primarily due to a decrease in costs related to COVID-19 testing for employees of $2.7 million included in cost of revenue, and a decrease in restructuring, acquisition, and related charges of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses of $2.4 million.

Other Income and Expense Items

The following table sets forth other income and expense items for the periods noted (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	July 1,			July 2,			July 1,			July 2,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Interest income (expense), net	$	(2,757	)	$	(1,378	)	$	(5,866	)	$	(2,786	)
Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), net	$	152		$	(76	)	$	221		$	(333	)
Other income (expense), net	$	68		$	(97	)	$	(477	)	$	(167	)

Interest Income (Expense), Net

Net interest expense was $2.8 million for the three months ended July 1, 2022, versus $1.4 million in the prior year period. The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average debt levels and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our senior credit facilities. The weighted average interest rate on our senior credit facilities was 2.29% during the three months ended July 1, 2022, versus 2.04% during the prior year period.

Net interest expense was $5.9 million for the six months ended July 1, 2022, versus $2.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in net interest expense was primarily due to an increase in average debt levels and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our senior credit facilities. The weighted average interest rate on our senior credit facilities was 2.39% during the six months ended July 1, 2022, versus 2.03% during the prior year period.

Foreign Exchange Transaction Gains (Losses), Net

Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) were nominal for both the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and the three and six months ended July 2, 2021.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Net other expense was nominal for the three months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021. The increase in other expense for the six months ended July 1, 2022 compared to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to a $0.6 million loss from the write-off of a portion of the unamortized deferred financing cost as a result of the Fifth Amendment.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2022 was 15.8%, versus 19.2% for the prior year period. Our effective tax rate of 15.8% for the three months ended July 1, 2022 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, and R&D tax credits, partially offset by disallowed compensation and uncertain tax position accruals.

Our effective tax rate of 19.2% for the three months ended July 2, 2021, differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, other tax credits, and a release of uncertain tax position reserves, offset by the revaluation of long term deferred tax balances resulting from the U.K. corporate tax rate change.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2022 was 12.4%, versus 3.5% for the prior year period. Our effective tax rate of 12.4% for the six months ended July 1, 2022 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, R&D tax credits and windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards, partially offset by disallowed compensation and uncertain tax position accruals. For the six months ended July 1, 2022, the windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain stock-based compensation awards had a benefit of 1.4% on our effective tax rate.

Our effective tax rate of 3.5% for the six months ended July 2, 2021, differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income, U.K. patent box deductions, other tax credits, a release of uncertain tax positions reserves, and windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards, partially offset by the revaluation of long term deferred tax balances resulting from the U.K. corporate tax rate change during the period. For the six months ended July 2, 2021, the windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards had a benefit of 14.7% on our effective tax rate.

Beginning in January 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) requires R&D expenditures be capitalized and amortized for income tax purposes over five years for domestic research and fifteen years for foreign research, rather than being deducted as incurred. This has the effect of increasing our cash taxes and deferred tax assets. Since January 2022, the Company has recognized deferred tax assets of $6.3 million for the relevant R&D expenditures. This provision also has an indirect benefit of 3% on our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2022, as our estimated deductions for Foreign Derived Intangible Income has increased as a result of increased U.S. taxable income. The provision for income taxes for both the three months and the six months ended July 1, 2022 reflects the impact of the TCJA.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. Our primary ongoing cash requirements are funding operations, capital expenditures, investments in businesses, and repayment of our debt and related interest payments. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and capital expenditure cash needs for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 12 months. The availability of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility provides another potential source of liquidity for any future capital expenditures and other liquidity needs. In addition, we have the ability to expand our borrowing capacity by up to $350.0 million by exercising the accordion option under our revolving credit agreement. We may also seek to raise additional capital, which could be in the form of bonds, convertible debt or preferred or common equity, to fund business development activities or other future investing cash requirements, subject to approval by the lenders in the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). There is no assurance that such capital will be available on reasonable terms or at all.

Significant factors affecting the management of our ongoing cash requirements are the adequacy of available bank lines of credit and our ability to attract long term capital with satisfactory terms. The sources of our liquidity are subject to all of the risks of our business and could be adversely affected by, among other factors, risks associated with events outside of our control, such as economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, worsening supply chain disruptions and electronics and other material shortages, a decrease in demand for our products, our ability to integrate current and future acquisitions, deterioration in certain financial ratios, higher interest rates in the U.S. and Europe, availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and market changes in general. See “Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and Our Capital Structure” included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Our cash requirements primarily consist of the principal and interest payments associated with our Senior Credit Facilities, operating and finance leases, purchase commitments, pension obligations, contingent considerations and earn-outs. Such contractual obligations are described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Through July 1, 2022, we have not entered into any other material new or modified contractual obligations since December 31, 2021.

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and to fund our operations may be dependent upon the earnings and the distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. Local laws and regulations and/or the terms of our indebtedness restrict certain of our subsidiaries from paying dividends and transferring assets to us. There is no assurance that applicable laws and regulations and/or the terms of our indebtedness will permit our subsidiaries to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans when necessary.

As of July 1, 2022, $72.5 million of our $100.5 million cash and cash equivalents was held by subsidiaries outside of Canada and the U.S. Generally, our intent is to use cash held in these foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations or acquisitions by those local subsidiaries and to pay down borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities (as defined below). Approximately $144.8 million of our outstanding term loan and revolver borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities were held in our subsidiaries outside of Canada and the U.S. Additionally, we may use intercompany loans to address short-term cash flow needs for various subsidiaries.

We deferred certain U.S. payroll tax payments in 2020 in accordance with relief provisions under the CARES Act. We paid $1.4 million of such deferred payroll tax payments in December 2021. As permitted under the CARES Act, we expect to pay the remaining $1.4 million deferred U.S. Payroll taxes by December 31, 2022.

Senior Credit Facilities

In December 2019, we entered into the Credit Agreement, consisting of a $100.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent euro-denominated 5-year term loan facility (approximately €90.2 million) and a $350.0 million 5-year revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities mature in December 2024 and included an uncommitted accordion option pursuant to which the commitments under the revolving credit facility may be increased by an additional $200.0 million in aggregate, subject to certain customary conditions. The term loan facility requires quarterly scheduled principal repayments of approximately €1.1 million beginning in March 2020 with the remaining principal balance due upon maturity. We may make additional principal payments at any time, which will reduce the next quarterly installment payment due. We may pay down outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility with cash on hand and cash generated from future operations at any time.

In March 2020, we entered into an amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and exercised a portion of the uncommitted accordion option. The First Amendment increased the revolving credit facility commitment under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by $145.0 million, from $350.0 million to $495.0 million, and reset the uncommitted accordion option to $200.0 million for potential future expansion.

On March 10, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date thereof from December 31, 2024 to March 10, 2027, update the pricing grid, replace LIBOR with SOFR as the reference rate for U.S. dollar borrowings, and increase the uncommitted accordion option from $200 million to $350 million.

As of July 1, 2022, we had $82.2 million term loan and $330.6 million revolver borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facilities. The borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at rates based on (a) the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% per annum, determined by reference to our consolidated leverage ratio, or (b) the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a margin ranging between 0.75% and 1.75% per annum, determined by reference to our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, we are obligated to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, ranging between 0.20% and 0.30% per annum, determined by reference to our consolidated leverage ratio. As of July 1, 2022, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in Euro and U.S. Dollars of $144.8 million and $268.0 million, respectively.

The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are usual and customary for this type of agreement, including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The following table summarizes these financial covenants and our compliance therewith as of July 1, 2022:

	Requirement		Actual
Maximum consolidated leverage ratio ⁽¹⁾		3.50		2.23
Minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio		1.50		9.83

⁽¹⁾

Maximum consolidated leverage ratio shall be increased to 4.00 for four consecutive quarters following a designated acquisition, as defined in the Fifth Amendment.

Share Repurchase Plans

Our Board of Directors may approve share repurchase plans from time to time. Under these repurchase plans, shares may be repurchased at our discretion based on ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common shares, and general market conditions. Shares may also be repurchased through an accelerated share purchase agreement, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Repurchases may be made under certain SEC regulations, which would permit common shares to be repurchased when we would otherwise be prohibited from doing so under insider trading laws. While the share repurchase plans are generally intended to offset dilution from equity awards granted to our employees and directors, the plans do not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common shares. No time limit is typically set for the completion of the share repurchase plans, and the plans may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We expect to fund share repurchases through cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

In October 2018, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “2018 Repurchase Plan”) authorizing the repurchase of $25.0 million worth of common shares. Share repurchases have been made under the 2018 Repurchase Plan pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During the six months ended July 1, 2022, we repurchased 80 thousand shares for an aggregate purchase price of $9.5 million at an average price of $118.97 per share under the 2018 Repurchase Plan. As of July 1, 2022, we had repurchased a cumulative total of 264 thousand shares under the 2018 Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $25.0 million at an average price of $94.57 per share. As of July 1, 2022, we had completed the 2018 Repurchase Plan.

In February 2020, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan (the “2020 Repurchase Plan”) authorizing the repurchase of an additional $50.0 million worth of common shares. Share repurchases have been made under the 2020 Repurchase Plan pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. During the six months ended July 1, 2022, we repurchased 4 thousand shares for an aggregate purchase price of $0.5 million at an average price of $116.95 per share under the 2020 Repurchase Plan. As of July 1, 2022, we had $49.5 million available for share repurchases under the 2020 Repurchase Plan.

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021

The following table summarizes our cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, and unused and available funds under our revolving credit facility for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	July 1,			July 2,
	2022			2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	35,408		$	52,014
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(12,616	)	$	(10,843	)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(35,473	)	$	(31,994	)

	July 1,			December 31,
	2022			2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$	100,489		$	117,393
Unused and available funds under the revolving credit facility	$	364,441		$	348,421

Operating Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities was $35.4 million for the six months ended July 1, 2022, versus $52.0 million for the prior year period. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 1, 2022 decreased from the prior year period primarily due to a $33.5 million increase in inventories driven by increased customer demand and higher critical raw material

purchases, and a bonus payout in 2022 of $8.4 million compared to no bonus payout in 2021 as a result of the elimination of our 2020 annual bonus plan, partially offset by an increase in profit before tax from higher revenue.

Beginning in January 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) requires R&D expenditures be capitalized and amortized for income tax purposes over five years for domestic research and fifteen years for foreign research, rather than being deducted as incurred. This has the effect of increasing our cash taxes and deferred tax assets. If this provision under the TCJA is not deferred, modified, or repealed with retroactive effect going back to January 1, 2022, our operating cash flows are expected to decrease by approximately $10.2 million for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash used in investing activities was $12.6 million for the six months ended July 1, 2022, primarily driven by capital expenditures of $12.1 million and a contingent consideration payment of $1.5 million related to our 2016 asset acquisition of video signal processing and management technologies.

Cash used in investing activities was $10.8 million for the six months ended July 2, 2021, primarily driven by capital expenditures of $8.6 million and a contingent consideration payment of $2.2 million related to our 2016 asset acquisition of video signal processing and management technologies.

We expect to use an aggregate of approximately $25 million to $30 million in 2022 for capital expenditures related to investments in new property, plant and equipment for our existing businesses.

Financing Cash Flows

Cash used in financing activities was $35.5 million for the six months ended July 1, 2022, primarily due to $10 million of repurchase of common stock, $9.5 million of payroll tax payments upon vesting of share-based compensation awards, $12.8 million of term loan and revolving credit facility repayments, and $2.5 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Fifth Amendment.

Cash used in financing activities was $32.0 million for the six months ended July 2, 2021, primarily due to $18.4 million of payroll tax payments upon vesting of share-based compensation awards, an $8.7 million payment for the purchase of a building under a finance lease agreement, $2.7 million of term loan repayments, and $1.8 million of contingent consideration payments related to acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The critical accounting policies that we believe impact significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements presented in this periodic report on Form 10-Q are described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates through July 1, 2022 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
