FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the 3D metrology, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss).
NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any future period.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Asset and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which intends to simplify the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination and to also remove inconsistencies in this topic related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. ASU No. 2021-08 allows an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in a similar manner to how they are recorded on the acquiree’s financial statements at book value. Early adoption is permitted and we early adopted ASU No. 2021-08 in the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of the early adoption of ASU No.2021-08, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of Holobuilder in 2021 at its book value of approximately $4.0 million. Further, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of GeoSLAM in 2022 at its book value of approximately $1.3 million.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06—Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments that were previous separated into a debt component and an equity component, and our convertible debt was already determined to be a single debt instrument that did not require bifurcation. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, and therefore, the Notes (as defined below) would not be subject to any beneficial conversion or cash conversion guidance. Moreover, the Company did not elect the fair value option - as defined in ASC 825 and 815 - to present the Notes on its financial statements.

(1) Regions represent North America and South America (the “Americas”); Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).
For revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software, we allocate the contract price to performance obligations based on our best estimate of the standalone selling price. We make this allocation estimate utilizing data from the sale of our applicable products and services to customers separately in similar circumstances. Revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software is generally recognized upon shipment from our facilities or when delivered to the customer location, as determined by the agreed upon shipping terms, at which time we are entitled to payment and title and control has passed to the customer. Software arrangements generally include short-term maintenance that is considered post-contract support (“PCS”), which is considered to be product transferred to the customer over time and a separate performance obligation. We generally establish a standalone sales price for this PCS component based on our maintenance renewal rate. Maintenance renewals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement. Payments for products and services are collected within a short period of time following transfer of control or commencement of delivery of services, as applicable.
Further, customers frequently purchase extended hardware service contracts with the purchase of measurement equipment and related software. Hardware service contracts are considered a performance obligation when services are transferred to a customer over time, and, as such, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual term. Hardware service contracts include contract periods that extend between one month to three years.
We capitalize commission expenses related to deliverables transferred to a customer over time and amortize such costs ratably over the term of the contract. As of September 30, 2023, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $2.9 million. For classification purposes, $1.9 million and $1.0 million are comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $3.0 million. For classification purposes, $2.0 million and $1.0 million were comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.
10

The unearned service revenue liabilities reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the contract liabilities to satisfy the remaining performance obligations for extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance. The current portion of unearned service revenues on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue within twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. The unearned service revenues less the current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue extending beyond twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. Customer deposits on our condensed consolidated balance sheets represent customer prepayments on contracts for performance obligations that we must satisfy in the future to recognize the related contract revenue. These amounts are generally related to performance obligations which are delivered in less than 12 months. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $19.0 million and $27.5 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $8.7 million and $29.1 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The nature of certain of our contracts gives rise to variable consideration, primarily related to an allowance for sales returns. We are required to estimate the contract asset related to sales returns and record a corresponding adjustment to Cost of sales. Our allowance for sales returns for September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately $0.1 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in Product Sales and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in Cost of sales. We exclude from Sales any value-added sales and other taxes that we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities.

NOTE 7 – INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of Cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over the remaining life, typically three years.

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL
The Company recognizes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. The Company performs a qualitative assessment on goodwill at least annually on December 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. If it is determined in the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not below its carrying amount, then the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s common stock price declined significantly and dropped below its equity book value, which triggered a goodwill impairment analysis under FASB Topic 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. For the purposes of the impairment analysis, goodwill is tested at the entity level as the Company has only one reporting unit. In determining the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of the income approach and the market approach, with each method weighted equally. Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on our estimates of future after-tax cash flows, discounted using the appropriate weighted average cost of capital. Under the market approach, the fair value is derived based on the valuation multiples of comparable publicly traded companies. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its net book value by approximately 45%. There was no impairment charge recorded.
The underlying valuation techniques deployed in the analysis are highly judgmental and entail significant estimates, including but not limited to, future growth and profitability, discount rates, and selection of peer companies and valuation multiples. Estimates are made based on the information available at the time of the valuation. Future changes in estimates and assumptions could result in material changes in the valuation.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the trading price of the Company's common stock was higher than the net book value of equity at September 30, 2023. As a result, the Company determined that a triggering event had not occurred for the Company’s reporting unit for goodwill impairment assessment during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
We had $106.9 million and $107.2 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
NOTE 9 – NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net loss and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Our potential common stock consists of employee stock options, time-based restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock unit awards, and common stock issued for settlement of the Notes (as defined in Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Our potential common stock is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when adding such potential common stock would not be anti-dilutive. Market-based awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying conditions (and any applicable market condition) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. When we report a net loss for the period presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes our potential common stock, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
12

As of September 30, 2023, there were approximately 1,439,944 shares issuable upon the exercise of options, the vesting of time-based restricted stock and the contingent vesting of market-based restricted stock units that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were approximately 578,121 issuable upon the exercise of options that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes on January 24, 2023, which, if converted, would result in the issuance of a maximum of 2,124,645 shares of common stock. These shares were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INVESTMENTS
Fair Value Measurements
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.
 As of December 31, 2022
 Level 1Level 2Level 3
Liabilities
Contingent consideration$ $ $1,043 
Total$ $ $1,043 

Contingent consideration liability represents arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies we acquired based on the attainment of future product release milestones and is reported in Other long-term liabilities. We use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. These probability weightings are developed internally and assessed on a quarterly basis. The remaining undiscounted maximum payment under these arrangements was approximately $1.0 million and was paid in full to former owners under these arrangements on August 30, 2023, leaving a zero balance as of September 30, 2023.
NOTE 12 – RESTRUCTURING
In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan include a continued focus on efficiency and cost-saving efforts, which included a planned decrease of total headcount.
On July 15, 2021, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”), in connection with the Restructuring Plan. Under the Agreement, Sanmina will provide manufacturing services for the Company’s measurement device products manufactured by the Company at the Company’s Lake Mary, Florida, Exton, Pennsylvania, Stuttgart, Germany and Portugal manufacturing sites. This phased transition to a Sanmina production facility was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 as part of our cost reduction initiative. As a result of an evaluation on the usage of our manufacturing spaces, we decided to abandon 17,000 square feet of unused space at our Exton, Pennsylvania facility in the third quarter of 2022. Since the approval of the Restructuring Plan, we paid $24.8 million, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits. All actions under this plan were completed as of March 31, 2023, and the remaining amounts payable of $0.5 million were rolled forward to the Integration Plan discussed below.
14

On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023, and the Board approved increases to both the expected pre-tax charges and the annualized cost savings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. We expected to incur total pre-tax charges in the range of $22 million to $28 million for the Integration Plan predominantly through the end of fiscal year 2023, with a targeted annualized savings of approximately $20 million to $30 million. As of September 30, 2023, in relation with the Integration Plan, we have incurred total restructuring charges of $24.2 million, and have made cash payments of $7.1 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have completed an evaluation of our leased facilities located in Lake Mary, Florida, Stuttgart and Dresden, Germany, Portugal and Singapore and determined that we will abandon portions of these facilities. Consequently, we recorded right-of-use asset and leasehold improvement impairment charges of $0.3 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was included in restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to make cash payments for the remaining duration of the contractual lease period approximating the right-of-use asset write-off value. As a part of the Integration Plan, we also evaluated our product portfolio and decided to discontinue certain legacy products. This led to inventory and related purchase commitments impairment charges of $8.1 million, which were included in the cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, we recognized $1.6 million and $17.0 thousand, respectively, in employee severance and other professional costs associated with the restructuring plans. Additionally, we paid $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the same periods, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.
Activity related to the accrued restructuring charges for the Integration Plan and cash payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is as follows:

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Commitments — We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $26.4 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. The Company’s long-term purchase commitments were immaterial as a result of the ongoing transition towards direct sourcing with Sanmina.
Legal Proceedings — We are not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, none of which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 14 – LEASES
We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, research and development facilities, sales and training facilities, vehicles, and certain equipment under which we assume the role of lessee. We do not lease assets as
15

a lessor. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to fifteen years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within three months. We do not participate in any material subleasing.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate include the variable portion when calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option at the time the lease is commenced. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
While we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The components of lease expense were as follows:
 Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2023202220232022
Operating lease cost$1,598 $1,805 $5,169 $5,453

Amortization of ROU assets21 18 70 96 
Interest on lease liabilities3 4 12 15 
Total finance lease cost$24 $22 $82 $111 

We recognize lease payments made for short-term leases where terms are 12 months or less as the payments are incurred. Our short-term lease costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were both less than $0.1 million. Our short-term lease costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were both less than $0.1 million.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 , we recorded an income tax expense of $1.5 million compared with an income tax expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate was 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with 10.3% in the prior year period. The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 reflects a tax expense on a pre-tax loss consistent with the prior year period as our United States and Singapore entities remain in a full valuation allowance. Accordingly, we are not able to recognize the tax benefits associated with pre-tax losses generated in those jurisdictions.
Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.
NOTE 16 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On September 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of UK-based GeoSLAM, a leading provider of mobile scanning solutions with proprietary high-productivity simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) software. We believe this acquisition enables the Company to provide mobile scanning solutions using SLAM software to create 3D models for use in Digital Twin applications. We believe these newly acquired capture technologies integrate into our 4D digital reality-based SaaS offering that will allow customers to access multiple 4D data sources for visualization and analysis through a single user experience. We acquired all voting equity interests of GeoSLAM held by the previous owners. The results of GeoSLAM’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023. The total purchase price included $29 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired and a non-cash payment of 495,562 shares of FARO stock valued at $15.9 million that is subject to customary lock-up provisions for a total purchase price of $44.9 million.
The acquisition of GeoSLAM constitutes a business combination as defined by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations below represent our determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies from combining operations as well as the value of the workforce. This goodwill is not tax deductible. Acquisition and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred but are recorded as expense in the period in which such costs are incurred. As of September 30, 2023, we have incurred $2.1 million of acquisition or integration costs for the GeoSLAM acquisition. Accounts receivable acquired represent a gross contractual amount of $2.6 million of which we expect to collect $2.5 million. We believe that the fair value of these receivables approximates the net book value given their short-term nature. Pro forma financial results for GeoSLAM have not been presented because the effects of these transactions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our condensed consolidated financial results.

On December 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of SiteScape, an innovator in LiDAR 3D scanning software solutions for the AEC and O&M markets. SiteScape enables LiDAR equipped mobile devices to easily capture indoor spaces digitally, providing a readily available entry-point to scanning physical spaces for a broad range of applications. We believe integrating SiteScape’s iOS-enabled low-resolution LiDAR capture capability into the FARO Sphere Platform will allow streamlining multiple capture methods into a single centralized environment on a single coordinate system. We believe this enables FARO’s construction and facilities customers to access a portfolio which now contains low-resolution Lidar, 360° photo, video, mobile mapping and terrestrial laser scanning. The total purchase price included $1.9 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired. The results of SiteScape’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023.

NOTE 17 - DEBT
On January 24, 2023, the Company issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes will bear interest from January 24, 2023, at a rate of 5.50% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2023. The annual effective interest rate of the Notes is 6.27% when including discounts and offering expenses incurred by the Company.
The Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of the Notes at any time prior to November 1, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (hereinafter referred to as “common stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption; or (5) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 1, 2027, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 23.6072 shares of the common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $42.36 per share of the common stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 20% to the $35.30 per share last reported sale price of the common stock on January 19, 2023. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the conditions allowing holders of the 2025 Notes to convert have not been met. The Notes are therefore not convertible as of September 30, 2023 and are classified in long term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
20

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to February 5, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after February 5, 2026 and on or before the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of the common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day immediately before the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company provides such notice. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes are presented under the long term liabilities of our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $72.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of $2.3 million and other offering expenses of $0.4 million. As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes was $75 million. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Notes as of September 30, 2023.
The net carrying amount of the Notes was as follows:

Overview
We are a global technology company that designs, develops, manufactures, markets and supports software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the 3D metrology, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.
We derive our revenues primarily from the sale of our measurement equipment and related multi-faceted software programs. Revenue related to these products is generally recognized upon shipment. In addition, we sell extended warranties and training and technology consulting services relating to our products. We recognize the revenue from hardware service
24

contracts and software maintenance contracts on a straight-line basis over the contractual term, and revenue from training and technology consulting services when the services are provided.
We operate in international markets throughout the world and maintain sales offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Sanmina currently manufactures our FARO Quantum Max Arm, FARO Focus Laser Scanner, FARO Laser Tracker and our FARO Laser Projector products in their facility located in Thailand. We expect these third-party manufacturing facilities to have the production capacity necessary to support our volume requirements during 2023.
We account for wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries in the currency of the respective foreign jurisdiction; therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates may have an impact on the value of the intercompany account balances denominated in different currencies and reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We are aware of the availability of off-balance sheet financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, including cross-currency swaps, forward contracts and foreign currency options. No such instruments were utilized by the Company in 2023 or 2022. We have not used hedging instruments in the past as fluctuations in exchange rate on our revenue were mostly offset by those same fluctuations in exchange rate on our expenses, providing a natural hedge in foreign jurisdictions. Our exchange rate exposure may change as a result of our current or future operational strategies and we will continue assessing the appropriateness of hedging for our business.
Restructuring Plan and Integration Plan
In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan include a continued focus on efficiency and cost-saving efforts, which included a planned decrease of total headcount.
On July 15, 2021, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanmina, in connection with the Restructuring Plan. Under the Agreement, Sanmina will provide manufacturing services for the Company’s measurement device products manufactured by the Company at the Company’s Lake Mary, Florida, Exton, Pennsylvania, Stuttgart, Germany and Portugal manufacturing sites. This phased transition to a Sanmina production facility was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 as part of our cost reduction initiative. As a result of an evaluation on the usage of our manufacturing spaces, we decided to abandon 17,000 square feet of unused space at our Exton, Pennsylvania facility in the third quarter of 2022. Since the approval of the Restructuring Plan, we paid $24.8 million, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits. All actions under this plan were completed as of March 31, 2023, and the remaining amounts payable of $0.5 million were rolled forward to the Integration Plan discussed below.
On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023, and the Board approved increases to both the expected pre-tax charges and the annualized cost savings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. We expected to incur total pre-tax charges in the range of $22 million to $28 million for the Integration Plan, predominantly through the end of fiscal year 2023, with a targeted annualized savings of approximately $20 million to $30 million. As of September 30, 2023, in relation with the Integration Plan, we have incurred total restructuring charges of $24.2 million, and have made cash payments of $7.1 million.
25

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have completed an evaluation of our leased facilities located in Lake Mary, Florida, Stuttgart and Dresden, Germany, Portugal and Singapore and determined that we will abandon portions of these facilities. Consequently, we recorded right-of-use asset and leasehold improvement impairment charges of $0.3 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was included in restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a part of the Integration Plan, we also evaluated our product portfolio and decided to discontinue certain legacy products. This led to inventory and related purchase commitments impairment charges of $8.1 million, which were included in the cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, we recognized $1.6 million and $17.0 thousand, respectively, in employee severance and other professional costs associated with the restructuring plans. Additionally, we paid $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the same periods, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.
FARO Sphere and the Unified Software Environment
FARO Sphere XG is our new cloud-based platform that is the foundation to our new software and solution strategy. Our objective is to provide differentiated value by offering workflow enhancements which include data uploads from any location, access to our existing suite of 3D software applications, cloud-based data analysis and global user access. FARO Sphere XG represents the next step into expansion of our cloud-based software offerings that we believe will deliver greater value to our customers and to our shareholders. The FARO Sphere XG environment could be adopted globally across a wide range of markets, including construction management, facilities, operations and maintenance, robotic simulation and incident preplanning. This potential adoption would lead to an increase in the number of users and thus enable revenue growth of our software and a shift toward increased levels of recurring revenue over time. We released the first phase of FARO Sphere to our customers during the second quarter of 2022 with the next generation with additional features and functionality FARO Sphere XG announced on October 23, 2023 which is the culmination of the consolidation of our cloud-based offerings into a single Unified Software Environment.
Revenue from our current software products was $11.2 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and revenue from our current software products was $32.3 million and $31.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our recurring revenue which is comprised of hardware service contracts, software maintenance contracts, and subscription-based software applications was $17.1 million and $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $50.1 million and $50.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Research and development costs incurred relating to the development of internal-use software and website development, including software used to upgrade and enhance our websites and applications to be sold as a service are capitalized in the period incurred and amortized over 1 year to 5 years. These costs include external direct costs of materials and services and internal costs such as payroll and benefits of those employees directly associated with the development of new functionality in internal use software to be sold as a service. The amount of costs capitalized relating to internally developed computer software to be sold as a service was $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.0 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash paid relating to these development costs are included as an investing activity within the Cash paid for technology development, patents and licenses line of our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Acquisitions
On September 1, 2022, we acquired UK-based GeoSLAM, a leading provider of mobile scanning solutions with proprietary high-productivity simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) software. GeoSLAM's software enables mobile 3D documentation of indoor or enclosed environments without the need for global positioning system (“GPS”). GeoSLAM’s products and solutions are primarily used today in the geospatial and mining markets. However, there is a growing demand for high productivity mobile scanning in the construction, operations and maintenance markets as well.
On December 1, 2022, we acquired SiteScape, an innovator in light detecting and ranging (“LiDAR”) 3D scanning software solutions for the architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”) and operations and maintenance (“O&M”) markets. SiteScape enables LiDAR equipped mobile devices to easily capture indoor spaces digitally, providing a readily available entry-point to scanning physical spaces for a broad range of applications. The SiteScape software is available for all LiDAR equipped iPhone operating system (“iOS”) devices, which enables quick and easily accessible data capture to be available to the consumer-based market.

Consolidated Results
Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Sales. Total sales increased by $1.5 million, or 1.7%, to $86.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $85.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was driven by our product sales, while our service sales remained consistent with the comparable period. Total product sales increased by $1.3 million, or 2.0%, to $66.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $65.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in product sales was primarily driven by the Laser Scanner and Tracker products.
Gross profit. Gross profit decreased by $1.6 million, or 3.7%, to $41.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $43.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and gross margin decreased by 2.7 percentage points to 48.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 50.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Gross margin from product revenue decreased by 5.5 percentage points to 48.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, from 53.7% for the prior year period primarily due to higher cost of raw materials caused by global supply chain shortages, and to a lesser extent, by the favorable foreign exchange impact of the U.S. dollar in 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022. We anticipate continued unfavorable price variances until global supply and cost conditions normalize. We expect that this unfavorability will be mitigated with our continued shift in supply chain sourcing to Southeast Asia, and, as a result, are expecting a positive impact on gross margins in 2024. Gross margin from service revenue increased by 6.4 percentage points to 47.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 40.8% for the prior year period, primarily due to higher service component pricing with a relatively consistent fixed cost structure.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased moderately by $0.8 million, or 2.0%, to $38.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the annual base compensation increases, mostly offset by the
28

savings realized from the Integration Plan. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased by 0.1 percentage points to 43.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 43.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $4.4 million, or 35.0%, to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $12.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 14.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the cost savings realized from the Integration Plan.
Restructuring costs. In February 2023, we initiated the Integration Plan to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023. Restructuring costs included in operating expenses increased by $1.8 million to $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The restructuring charges include accruals for severance and related benefits, professional fees, and impairment of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvement assets related to facilities optimization as a part of the Integration Plan.
Interest (income) expense, net. We recorded net interest expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and net interest income of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to interest expense associated with the Notes issued in January 2023.
Other income, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, other income was $0.4 million compared with other income of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was driven by interest income on our six-month treasury-bill which matured in the second quarter of 2023.
Income tax expense (benefit). For the three months ended September 30, 2023 we recorded an income tax expense of $1.5 million compared with $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate was -21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with -10.3% in the prior year period. The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023, reflects a tax expense on a pre-tax loss consistent with the prior year period as our United States and Singapore entities remain in a full valuation allowance. Accordingly, we are not able to recognize the tax benefits associated with pre-tax losses generated in those jurisdictions.
Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our quarterly provision for income tax expense (benefit) are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.
Net loss. Our net loss was $8.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared with net loss of $6.3 million for the prior year period, reflecting the impact of the factors described above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Sales. Total sales increased by $18.1 million, or 7.5%, to $260.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $241.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase is primarily driven by our product sales, as service remained consistent for comparable period. Total product sales increased by $17.7 million, or 9.7%, to $199.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $182.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to continued demand for our Quantum Max Arms, Laser Scanner and Tracker products and the addition of GeoSLAM product sales. Service sales increased by $0.3 million, or 0.6%, to $60.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $59.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Gross profit. Gross profit decreased by $10.0 million, or 8.0%, to $114.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $124.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and gross margin decreased by 7.5 percentage points to 44.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 51.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Gross margin from product revenue decreased by 10.9 percentage points to 43.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 54.5% for the prior year period, primarily due to $8.1 million in inventory impairment charges incurred in the second quarter of 2023 as a part of our Integration Plan, and to a lesser extent by the unfavorable price variances due to global supply shortages. Gross margin from service revenue increased by 3.2 percentage points to 45.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 42.7% for the prior year period, primarily due to higher service component pricing with relatively consistent fixed cost structure.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.2 million, or 8.4%, to $117.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $108.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by higher personnel costs resulting from additional headcount obtained primarily from both of our recent acquisitions of GeoSLAM and SiteScape, and base compensation increases. Selling, general
29

and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased by 0.5 percentage points to 45.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared with 44.9% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $4.2 million, or 11.4%, to $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 15.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the cost savings realized from the Integration Plan.
Restructuring costs. In February 2023, we initiated the Integration Plan to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023. Restructuring costs included in operating expenses increased by $12.6 million to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The restructuring charges include accruals for severance and related benefits, professional fees, and impairment of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvement assets related to facilities optimization as a part of the Integration Plan.
Interest (income) expense, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded interest expense of $2.5 million compared with interest income of less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to interest expense associated with the Notes issued in January 2023.
Other (income) expense, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, other income was $0.1 million compared to $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This change was primarily driven by the effect of foreign exchange rates on our non-U.S.-dollar-denominated balance sheet.
Income tax expense (benefit). For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $4.9 million compared with income tax expense of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate was -9.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared with -21.6% in the prior year period. The change in our income tax expense was primarily associated with a shift in the geographic mix of pre-tax income expected for the full year 2023. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the increase in the pre-tax loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, largely attributable to fluctuations in the valuation allowance.
Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our quarterly provision for income tax expense are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.
Net loss. Our net loss was $58.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $24.5 million for the prior year period, reflecting the impact of the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $42.1 million to $79.9 million at September 30, 2023, from $37.8 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by our issuance of the Notes.
Cash used in operating activities was $17.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $18.2 million of cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decreased cash usage was primarily due to favorable changes in working capital accounts, partially offset by a larger current year net loss.
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $10.1 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $43.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of GeoSLAM in the third quarter of 2022, in the amount of $29.1 million, net of cash acquired.
Cash provided by financing activities was $71.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Financing cash increase was driven by the Company's issuance of the Notes. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company.
The Notes will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes bear interest from January 24, 2023, at a rate of 5.50% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2023. The Notes may bear additional interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the indenture governing the Notes or if the Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the indenture.
30

Of our cash and cash equivalents, $34.9 million was held by foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2023. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, resulting in significant modifications to existing tax law, which included a transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. As a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company can repatriate foreign earnings and profits to the U.S. with minimal U.S. income tax consequences, other than the transition tax and global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax. We have reinvested a large portion of our undistributed foreign earnings and profits in acquisitions and other investments and intends to bring back a portion of foreign cash in certain jurisdictions where we will not be subject to local withholding taxes and which were subject already to transition tax and GILTI tax.
On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. We made no stock repurchases during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, under this program. As of September 30, 2023, we had authorization to repurchase $18.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.
We believe that our working capital and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our short- and long-term liquidity operating requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of September 30, 2023, we had $26.4 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. Other than as described in the preceding sentences, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments table included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience, along with various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. As of September 30, 2023, our critical accounting policies have not changed from those described in our Annual Report.
31

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Exposure
We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the United States. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 57% of our revenue was invoiced, and a significant portion of our operating expenses and manufacturing costs were paid, in foreign currencies, and 60% of our assets were denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition and could specifically result in foreign exchange gains and losses. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on the results of our operations cannot be accurately predicted due to our constantly changing exposure to various currencies, and the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollar. Our most significant exposures are to the Euro, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, Chinese Yuan and Brazilian Real. To the extent that the percentage of our non-U.S. dollar revenues derived from international sales increases in the future, our exposure to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may increase.
Interest Rate Exposure
We had cash and cash equivalent of $79.9 million as of September 30, 2023, consisting of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. All our investments are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Our investments in U.S. Treasury obligations are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value negatively impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.
We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Global Inflation Exposure
General inflation in the United States, Europe and other geographies has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades. General inflation, including rising prices for our raw materials and other inputs as well as rising salaries negatively impact our business by increasing our cost of sales and operating expenses. A period of a rising rate of inflation also negatively impacts our business by decreasing the capital for our customers to deploy to purchase our products and services. Inflation may cause our customers to reduce or delay orders for our goods and services thereby causing a decrease in sales of our products and services. The impact of future inflation fluctuations on the results of our operations cannot be accurately predicted.
32

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
33

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not involved in any legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in this Item 1A and in our Annual Report, before deciding to invest in, or retain, shares of our common stock. These risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report, in this Quarterly Report, and in subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known by us or by factors that we currently consider to be immaterial to our business. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report, other than as set forth below.
Our executive management team has gone through significant changes and any failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could lead to a loss of sales or decreased profitability.
The loss of any of our current executive officers, or other key personnel, could adversely affect our sales, profitability or growth. Our executive management team has gone through a significant transition over the course of the last four years, including the hiring of a new President and Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Financial Officer in 2019; the retirement of our President and Chief Executive Officer in 2023; the appointment of our current Chairman, Yuval Wasserman, as our Executive Chairman, who also assumed the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer in 2023; and, most recently, the appointment of Peter J. Lau as the President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of our Board of Directors in 2023. Any changes or turnover of management could also adversely impact our stock price, and our client relationships and could make recruiting for management positions in the future more difficult. Moreover, we face competition for qualified personnel and we continue to rely, in part, on equity awards to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel could result in increased salaries and other compensation expenses and could negatively affect our profitability.
We have experienced volatility in our stock price.
The price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

fluctuations in demand for, and sales of, our products or prolonged downturns in the industries that we serve;
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly or annual operating results;
general economic uncertainties;
issuances of shares of our common stock, whether in connection with an acquisition or upon conversion of some or all     of our outstanding Notes;
speculation in the press or investment community; and
announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors.
The market price of our common stock has in the past and may in the future also be affected by announcements of executive leadership changes or our inability to meet analyst and investor expectations and failure to achieve projected financial results. Any failure to meet such expectations or projected financial results, even if minor, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. Volatility in our stock price may result in the inability of our shareholders to sell their shares at or above the price at which they purchased them.
Our relatively small public float and daily trading volume have in the past caused, and may in the future result in, significant volatility in our stock price. At September 30, 2023, we had approximately 18.7 million shares outstanding held by non-affiliates. Our daily trading volume for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 averaged approximately 199,059 shares.
In addition, stock markets have experienced in the past and may in the future experience a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of equity securities of many companies have experienced in the past and may in the future experience wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations have and may continue to adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, securities class action lawsuits frequently have been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of such
34

companies’ securities. If any such litigation is instigated against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We may be unable to recognize the anticipated benefits of our Restructuring Plan, our new strategic plan, and any future restructuring and strategic plans.
On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan, which is intended to support our new strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and to help ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the “Integration Plan”), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations particularly around recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings, and on May 3, 2023, amended the Integration Plan, to further increase savings. Actual results, including the final costs of these restructuring plans, our new strategic plan and our ability to sustain savings, may differ materially from our expectations, resulting in our inability to realize the expected benefits of these restructuring plans and negatively impact our ability to execute our future plans and strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our bylaws designate specific courts in Florida and the federal district courts of the United States of America are the exclusive forums for substantially all litigation that may be initiated by the Company’s shareholders, which could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee or shareholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Florida Business Corporation Act or the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action governed by the internal affairs doctrine, will be a state court located within Seminole County in the State of Florida (or, if no such state court within Seminole County has jurisdiction, another state court located within the State of Florida, or if no such other state court located within the State of Florida has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the Middle District of Florida) (the “Florida Forum Provision”), except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which such court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such court within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than such court or for which such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction.
Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, against any person in connection with any offering of the Company’s securities, including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, any auditor, underwriter, expert, control person or other defendant.
In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that any person or entity purchasing, holding or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company is deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of our amended and restated bylaws; provided, however, that shareholders cannot and will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The exclusive-forum provisions in our bylaws may impose additional litigation costs on shareholders in pursuing any such claims. Additionally, the exclusive-forum provisions may limit our shareholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage the filing of lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees, even though an action, if successful, might benefit our shareholders. In addition, if the exclusive-forum are found to be unenforceable, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters. The exclusive-forum provisions may also impose additional litigation costs on shareholders who assert that the provision is not enforceable or invalid. The courts specified in the exclusive-forum provisions may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a shareholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments may be more or less favorable to us than our shareholders
35

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer Under the Share Repurchase Plan
On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. We made no stock repurchases during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 under this program. As of September 30, 2023, we had authorization to repurchase $18.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
None.

Item 5. Other Information
(a) Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) Designation
In connection with and as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Peter J. Lau, our President and Chief Executive Officer, assumed the responsibilities of the Company’s PEO, replacing Yuval Wasserman, our Executive Chairman, who previously served as our PEO. Mr. Wasserman will continue to serve as our Executive Chairman and his role will not otherwise change or be affected by the designation of Mr. Lau as our PEO.

(c) Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers
During our last fiscal quarter, no director or officer, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f), adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” each as defined in Regulation S-K Item 408.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSFARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the 3D metrology, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATIONOur condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any future period.
The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited consolidated financial statements.
Stock-based compensation expense is allocated to the applicable departmental cost in our condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes total stock-based compensation expense for each of the line items on our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Asset and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which intends to simplify the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination and to also remove inconsistencies in this topic related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. ASU No. 2021-08 allows an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in a similar manner to how they are recorded on the acquiree’s financial statements at book value. Early adoption is permitted and we early adopted ASU No. 2021-08 in the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of the early adoption of ASU No.2021-08, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of Holobuilder in 2021 at its book value of approximately $4.0 million. Further, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of GeoSLAM in 2022 at its book value of approximately $1.3 million.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06—Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments that were previous separated into a debt component and an equity component, and our convertible debt was already determined to be a single debt instrument that did not require bifurcation. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, and therefore, the Notes (as defined below) would not be subject to any beneficial conversion or cash conversion guidance. Moreover, the Company did not elect the fair value option - as defined in ASC 825 and 815 - to present the Notes on its financial statements.

For revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software, we allocate the contract price to performance obligations based on our best estimate of the standalone selling price. We make this allocation estimate utilizing data from the sale of our applicable products and services to customers separately in similar circumstances. Revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software is generally recognized upon shipment from our facilities or when delivered to the customer location, as determined by the agreed upon shipping terms, at which time we are entitled to payment and title and control has passed to the customer. Software arrangements generally include short-term maintenance that is considered post-contract support (“PCS”), which is considered to be product transferred to the customer over time and a separate performance obligation. We generally establish a standalone sales price for this PCS component based on our maintenance renewal rate. Maintenance renewals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement. Payments for products and services are collected within a short period of time following transfer of control or commencement of delivery of services, as applicable.
Further, customers frequently purchase extended hardware service contracts with the purchase of measurement equipment and related software. Hardware service contracts are considered a performance obligation when services are transferred to a customer over time, and, as such, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual term. Hardware service contracts include contract periods that extend between one month to three years.
We capitalize commission expenses related to deliverables transferred to a customer over time and amortize such costs ratably over the term of the contract. As of September 30, 2023, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $2.9 million. For classification purposes, $1.9 million and $1.0 million are comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $3.0 million. For classification purposes, $2.0 million and $1.0 million were comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.
The unearned service revenue liabilities reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the contract liabilities to satisfy the remaining performance obligations for extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance. The current portion of unearned service revenues on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue within twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. The unearned service revenues less the current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue extending beyond twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. Customer deposits on our condensed consolidated balance sheets represent customer prepayments on contracts for performance obligations that we must satisfy in the future to recognize the related contract revenue. These amounts are generally related to performance obligations which are delivered in less than 12 months. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $19.0 million and $27.5 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $8.7 million and $29.1 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The nature of certain of our contracts gives rise to variable consideration, primarily related to an allowance for sales returns. We are required to estimate the contract asset related to sales returns and record a corresponding adjustment to Cost of sales. Our allowance for sales returns for September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was approximately $0.1 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in Product Sales and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in Cost of sales. We exclude from Sales any value-added sales and other taxes that we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]  
INVENTORIES INVENTORIESInventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of Cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over the remaining life, typically three years.Inventories consist of the following:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
GOODWILL GOODWILL
The Company recognizes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill. The Company performs a qualitative assessment on goodwill at least annually on December 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. If it is determined in the qualitative assessment that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not below its carrying amount, then the Company will perform a quantitative impairment test.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company’s common stock price declined significantly and dropped below its equity book value, which triggered a goodwill impairment analysis under FASB Topic 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. For the purposes of the impairment analysis, goodwill is tested at the entity level as the Company has only one reporting unit. In determining the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company uses a combination of the income approach and the market approach, with each method weighted equally. Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on our estimates of future after-tax cash flows, discounted using the appropriate weighted average cost of capital. Under the market approach, the fair value is derived based on the valuation multiples of comparable publicly traded companies. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its net book value by approximately 45%. There was no impairment charge recorded.
The underlying valuation techniques deployed in the analysis are highly judgmental and entail significant estimates, including but not limited to, future growth and profitability, discount rates, and selection of peer companies and valuation multiples. Estimates are made based on the information available at the time of the valuation. Future changes in estimates and assumptions could result in material changes in the valuation.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the trading price of the Company's common stock was higher than the net book value of equity at September 30, 2023. As a result, the Company determined that a triggering event had not occurred for the Company’s reporting unit for goodwill impairment assessment during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
We had $106.9 million and $107.2 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
NET LOSS PER SHARE NET LOSS PER SHAREBasic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net loss and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Our potential common stock consists of employee stock options, time-based restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock unit awards, and common stock issued for settlement of the Notes (as defined in Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Our potential common stock is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when adding such potential common stock would not be anti-dilutive. Market-based awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying conditions (and any applicable market condition) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. When we report a net loss for the period presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes our potential common stock, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
As of September 30, 2023, there were approximately 1,439,944 shares issuable upon the exercise of options, the vesting of time-based restricted stock and the contingent vesting of market-based restricted stock units that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were approximately 578,121 issuable upon the exercise of options that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes on January 24, 2023, which, if converted, would result in the issuance of a maximum of 2,124,645 shares of common stock. These shares were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.

Contingent consideration liability represents arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies we acquired based on the attainment of future product release milestones and is reported in Other long-term liabilities. We use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. These probability weightings are developed internally and assessed on a quarterly basis. The remaining undiscounted maximum payment under these arrangements was approximately $1.0 million and was paid in full to former owners under these arrangements on August 30, 2023, leaving a zero balance as of September 30, 2023.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURING
In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan include a continued focus on efficiency and cost-saving efforts, which included a planned decrease of total headcount.
On July 15, 2021, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”), in connection with the Restructuring Plan. Under the Agreement, Sanmina will provide manufacturing services for the Company’s measurement device products manufactured by the Company at the Company’s Lake Mary, Florida, Exton, Pennsylvania, Stuttgart, Germany and Portugal manufacturing sites. This phased transition to a Sanmina production facility was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 as part of our cost reduction initiative. As a result of an evaluation on the usage of our manufacturing spaces, we decided to abandon 17,000 square feet of unused space at our Exton, Pennsylvania facility in the third quarter of 2022. Since the approval of the Restructuring Plan, we paid $24.8 million, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits. All actions under this plan were completed as of March 31, 2023, and the remaining amounts payable of $0.5 million were rolled forward to the Integration Plan discussed below.
On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023, and the Board approved increases to both the expected pre-tax charges and the annualized cost savings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. We expected to incur total pre-tax charges in the range of $22 million to $28 million for the Integration Plan predominantly through the end of fiscal year 2023, with a targeted annualized savings of approximately $20 million to $30 million. As of September 30, 2023, in relation with the Integration Plan, we have incurred total restructuring charges of $24.2 million, and have made cash payments of $7.1 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have completed an evaluation of our leased facilities located in Lake Mary, Florida, Stuttgart and Dresden, Germany, Portugal and Singapore and determined that we will abandon portions of these facilities. Consequently, we recorded right-of-use asset and leasehold improvement impairment charges of $0.3 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was included in restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to make cash payments for the remaining duration of the contractual lease period approximating the right-of-use asset write-off value. As a part of the Integration Plan, we also evaluated our product portfolio and decided to discontinue certain legacy products. This led to inventory and related purchase commitments impairment charges of $8.1 million, which were included in the cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, we recognized $1.6 million and $17.0 thousand, respectively, in employee severance and other professional costs associated with the restructuring plans. Additionally, we paid $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the same periods, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.
Activity related to the accrued restructuring charges for the Integration Plan and cash payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is as follows:

Purchase Commitments — We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $26.4 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. The Company’s long-term purchase commitments were immaterial as a result of the ongoing transition towards direct sourcing with Sanmina.

Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASESWe have operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, research and development facilities, sales and training facilities, vehicles, and certain equipment under which we assume the role of lessee. We do not lease assets as
a lessor. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to fifteen years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within three months. We do not participate in any material subleasing.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate include the variable portion when calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option at the time the lease is commenced. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
While we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2023 , we recorded an income tax expense of $1.5 million compared with an income tax expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate was 21.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared with 10.3% in the prior year period. The tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 reflects a tax expense on a pre-tax loss consistent with the prior year period as our United States and Singapore entities remain in a full valuation allowance. Accordingly, we are not able to recognize the tax benefits associated with pre-tax losses generated in those jurisdictions.
Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On September 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of UK-based GeoSLAM, a leading provider of mobile scanning solutions with proprietary high-productivity simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) software. We believe this acquisition enables the Company to provide mobile scanning solutions using SLAM software to create 3D models for use in Digital Twin applications. We believe these newly acquired capture technologies integrate into our 4D digital reality-based SaaS offering that will allow customers to access multiple 4D data sources for visualization and analysis through a single user experience. We acquired all voting equity interests of GeoSLAM held by the previous owners. The results of GeoSLAM’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023. The total purchase price included $29 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired and a non-cash payment of 495,562 shares of FARO stock valued at $15.9 million that is subject to customary lock-up provisions for a total purchase price of $44.9 million.
The acquisition of GeoSLAM constitutes a business combination as defined by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations below represent our determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions.
Following is a summary of our allocations of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition:

Purchase price paid, net of cash acquired$44,946 

The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies from combining operations as well as the value of the workforce. This goodwill is not tax deductible. Acquisition and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred but are recorded as expense in the period in which such costs are incurred. As of September 30, 2023, we have incurred $2.1 million of acquisition or integration costs for the GeoSLAM acquisition. Accounts receivable acquired represent a gross contractual amount of $2.6 million of which we expect to collect $2.5 million. We believe that the fair value of these receivables approximates the net book value given their short-term nature. Pro forma financial results for GeoSLAM have not been presented because the effects of these transactions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our condensed consolidated financial results.

On December 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of SiteScape, an innovator in LiDAR 3D scanning software solutions for the AEC and O&M markets. SiteScape enables LiDAR equipped mobile devices to easily capture indoor spaces digitally, providing a readily available entry-point to scanning physical spaces for a broad range of applications. We believe integrating SiteScape’s iOS-enabled low-resolution LiDAR capture capability into the FARO Sphere Platform will allow streamlining multiple capture methods into a single centralized environment on a single coordinate system. We believe this enables FARO’s construction and facilities customers to access a portfolio which now contains low-resolution Lidar, 360° photo, video, mobile mapping and terrestrial laser scanning. The total purchase price included $1.9 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired. The results of SiteScape’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2023.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
DEBT DEBT
On January 24, 2023, the Company issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes will bear interest from January 24, 2023, at a rate of 5.50% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2023. The annual effective interest rate of the Notes is 6.27% when including discounts and offering expenses incurred by the Company.
The Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of the Notes at any time prior to November 1, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (hereinafter referred to as “common stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption; or (5) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 1, 2027, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 23.6072 shares of the common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $42.36 per share of the common stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 20% to the $35.30 per share last reported sale price of the common stock on January 19, 2023. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the conditions allowing holders of the 2025 Notes to convert have not been met. The Notes are therefore not convertible as of September 30, 2023 and are classified in long term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to February 5, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after February 5, 2026 and on or before the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of the common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day immediately before the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company provides such notice. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes are presented under the long term liabilities of our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $72.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of $2.3 million and other offering expenses of $0.4 million. As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes was $75 million. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Notes as of September 30, 2023.
The net carrying amount of the Notes was as follows:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Consolidation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.
Foreign Currency Translation All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss)
Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Asset and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which intends to simplify the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination and to also remove inconsistencies in this topic related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. ASU No. 2021-08 allows an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in a similar manner to how they are recorded on the acquiree’s financial statements at book value. Early adoption is permitted and we early adopted ASU No. 2021-08 in the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of the early adoption of ASU No.2021-08, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of Holobuilder in 2021 at its book value of approximately $4.0 million. Further, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of GeoSLAM in 2022 at its book value of approximately $1.3 million.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06—Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments that were previous separated into a debt component and an equity component, and our convertible debt was already determined to be a single debt instrument that did not require bifurcation. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, and therefore, the Notes (as defined below) would not be subject to any beneficial conversion or cash conversion guidance. Moreover, the Company did not elect the fair value option - as defined in ASC 825 and 815 - to present the Notes on its financial statements.
Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of Cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over the remaining life, typically three years.
