CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT

 

This Conflict Minerals Report of KVH Industries, Inc. (“KVH”, “we”, or “our”) has been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the reporting period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

 

Rule 13p-1 and Form SD require companies to disclose certain information regarding products that they manufacture, or contract to manufacture, when: (a) those products contain one or more of the minerals gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, or wolframite, or their derivatives tantalum, tin, and tungsten (the “Conflict Minerals”); (b) those Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products; and (c) those Conflict Minerals originated, or may have originated, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or in a country that shares an internationally recognized border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “Covered Countries”).

 

Section 1. Product Review and Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry

 

Section 1.1 Product Review

 

KVH conducted an analysis of its product lines and determined that Conflict Minerals are used in its system-level products and components.

 

Section 1.2 Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry and Conclusion

 

KVH’s international supply chain is complex. KVH is several layers removed from the smelters in its supply chain, making it difficult to trace the origin of any Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of its products.

 

For our 2024 reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”), we reviewed our suppliers of direct materials, components and system-level products (collectively referred to as “Supplier Materials”). We generated internal reports analyzing all Supplier Material purchases for 2024 (“Total Supplier Spend”). We then ranked each supplier based on the aggregate Total Supplier Spend. We determined that suppliers with $50,000 or more in Total Supplier Spend accounted for approximately 95% of Total Supplier Spend made by KVH during 2024 and determined that it would be reasonable to concentrate our RCOI efforts on this group of 44 suppliers. We refer to this group of suppliers as our “Primary Suppliers.”

 

In our RCOI for 2024, we surveyed our Primary Suppliers using a template developed by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) (the “Conflict Minerals Reporting Template”). KVH sent the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template to all 44 Primary Suppliers and received 41 responses, which represented approximately 93% of our targeted supplier group and approximately 93% of Total Supplier Spend. We made additional requests for responses from the three Primary Suppliers that did not respond initially, but our efforts were not successful. Of the 41 responses received by KVH, 12 indicated that the Conflict Minerals used in Supplier Materials supplied to KVH came from “conflict-free” sources and furnished a list of their verified smelters; 26 confirmed that no Conflict Minerals were used in the Supplier Materials supplied to KVH; and three indicated that their Supplier Materials contained Conflict Minerals and furnished a list of their smelters, some of which were not verified to be “conflict-free”.

 

 

 

 

The response rate of our Primary Suppliers increased from 91% in 2023 to 93% in 2024, and the number of respondents who reported themselves as DRC “conflict-free” also increased. The percentage of the responding Primary Suppliers who reported themselves as DRC “undeterminable” (including the three Primary Suppliers who sourced some of their materials from unverified smelters) decreased from 32% in 2023 to 7% in 2024. Thus, we concluded that, for 2024, as in prior reporting years, we do not have sufficient information from our suppliers or other sources to determine with specificity the countries of origin of the Conflict Minerals used in our products or whether they are from recycled or scrap sources. Therefore, we cannot exclude the possibility that some of these Conflict Minerals may have originated in the Covered Countries and/or are not from recycled or scrap sources.

 

Section 2. Due Diligence

 

KVH’s due diligence efforts related to products: (i) for which Conflict Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or contracted to be manufactured, by KVH; (iii) for which the manufacture was completed during 2024; and (iv) for which KVH was unable to form the basis for a reasonable belief that none of the Conflict Minerals necessary to the functionality or production of those products originated in a Covered Country. The products, which are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Covered Products,” include KVH’s mobile satellite communications products and components.

 

Section 2.1 Design of KVH’s Due Diligence Measures

 

KVH designed its due diligence measures to conform to the framework set forth in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas: Third Edition, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the “OECD Guidance”).

 

Section 2.2 Due Diligence Measures Performed by KVH

 

The due diligence processes followed by KVH are described below under sub-headings corresponding to the five-step framework of the OECD Guidance.

 

1.Management Systems

 

We previously established and have maintained throughout 2024 internal processes for Conflict Minerals supply chain due diligence and reporting. We have implemented a Conflict Minerals Policy Statement and related procedures to help support our supply chain due diligence efforts and communication processes designed to provide information, including our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement, to our suppliers and to the public. In this regard, our supplier purchase contracts include terms and conditions and other contractual flow-downs requiring supplier cooperation and compliance with KVH’s due diligence efforts. We also maintain a “Supplier Information” web page to facilitate supplier access to important documents, including but not limited to KVH’s Conflicts Minerals Policy Statement, General Terms and Conditions of Purchase and General Supplier Quality Clauses, each of which can be found at http://www.kvh.com/suppliers. Additionally, prior to any engagement with KVH, we generally require all prospective suppliers to (a) provide information about their due diligence program and the steps they have taken to determine whether there are any Conflict Minerals in their supply chain; and (b) submit a completed copy of their latest Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. This information gives our Global Supply Chain team early visibility into the compliance program maturity level and smelter base of prospective vendors before we start to do business with that company.

 

 

 

 

For 2024, our efforts to identify smelters/refiners in our supply chain was facilitated through the use of due diligence tools created by the Responsible Minerals Initiative (“RMI”) founded by the RBA and GeSI for independent third-party audit information, including the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template. The information furnished by our Primary Suppliers was reviewed and analyzed by our internal team led by KVH’s Materials Manager and retained within the company’s document retention system. The data obtained from our Primary Suppliers was vetted by our Global Supply Chain team and then used to generate a comprehensive list of all smelters/refiners that had been identified by our Primary Suppliers, which list was then cross-referenced against information from RMI’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (“RMAP”) to help us identify the compliant smelters/refiners and origin of minerals processed.

 

2.Assessment of Risk in the Supply Chain

 

In order to determine the origin of Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products:

 

·An initial meeting of our Global Supply Chain team was held on January 20, 2025, to review our 2024 annual spending and to determine the parameters of our RCOI for 2024.

 

·On or around January 27, 2025, we sent letters to our Primary Suppliers, explaining our conflict minerals disclosure obligations and referring the suppliers to online training materials and instructions, and solicited survey responses using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.

 

·Having received responses from only 29 of the 44 Primary Suppliers by March 30, 2025, a second meeting of our Global Supply Chain team was held on March 31, 2025, during which team members were tasked with following-up with all non-responsive Primary Suppliers.

 

·Over the next 3 weeks, members of KVH’s Global Supply Chain team continued its efforts to contact the remaining Primary Suppliers, and by April 21, 2025, KVH had received responses from 41 of the 44 Primary Suppliers. Of the 41 respondents, 33 returned the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template and 8 provided a separate company statement regarding conflict minerals.

 

·Having received responses from approximately 93% of our Primary Suppliers, which represented approximately 93% of Total Supplier Spend for 2024, KVH then reviewed the responses and followed up on any incomplete or ambiguous responses.

 

·Our Global Supply Chain team then compared the smelters/refiners identified by its Primary Suppliers against the list of facilities that have received a “conformant” designation from the RMI’s RMAP, which designations provide country of origin and due diligence information on the Conflict Minerals sourced by such facilities.

 

 

 

 

3.Strategies to Respond to Identified Risks

 

KVH’s due diligence efforts are an evolving process that we strive to improve by: (i) maintaining a supplier onboarding process that solicits information about sourcing of conflict minerals, (ii) focusing on the reliability and quality of the information received from our Primary Suppliers; (iii) reviewing responses and following up on incomplete, inaccurate or ambiguous data; (iv) contacting Primary Suppliers who have consistently reported products to be “DRC conflict undeterminable” or the equivalent to determine what steps they have taken to improve their due diligence processes; and (v) maintaining internal processes designed to emphasize the importance of supplier cooperation and compliance with our Conflict Minerals Policy Statement through readily accessible policies and contractual flow-down clauses governing the business relationship, which not only provide us with leverage to promote compliance but also the flexibility needed to reassess and/or terminate certain relationships, as appropriate.

 

4.Independent Third-Party Audits

 

As a result of KVH’s position in the supply chain, there are generally several tiers of suppliers between KVH and the smelters/refiners in our supply chain, and therefore we do not conduct or commission independent third-party audits of the smelters and refiners from which our Primary Suppliers source Conflict Minerals. KVH has relied upon industry initiatives, including the RMI’s RMAP, for independent third-party audit information.

 

5.Reporting

 

With the preparation and submission of this Conflict Minerals Report, KVH has provided a public report of its due diligence measures with regard to the sourcing of Conflict Minerals. A copy of this report is available at https://ir.kvh.com/financial-information/sec-filings.

 

Section 3. Results of Due Diligence

 

The response rate among our Primary Suppliers in 2024 was 93%. Among the responses, some of our Primary Suppliers were unable to identify any of the smelters or refiners used in the Supplier Materials supplied to us and certain responses also included names of smelters or refiners that we believe may have been incomplete or misidentified. Such names have not been included among the list of smelters and refiners identified by our Primary Suppliers in Annex 1 below.

 

 

 

 

In total, we identified approximately 385 smelters as potential sources of Conflict Minerals that were reported to be in the supply chain at some point during the 2024 calendar year. The table below presents the total number of identified smelters or refiners for each mineral and the corresponding percentage of each group that we have been able to verify as conflict-free according to information provided on the RMI website.

 

Metal  Total Number of Identified
Smelters for Each Metal		   Identified Smelters or Refiners
Verified or certified as RMAP
Conformant		 
Gold   188    51%
Tantalum   41    85%
Tin   96    73%
Tungsten   60    60%

 

For the Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products, KVH’s due diligence efforts failed to clarify whether the Conflict Minerals contained in those products may have originated in a Covered Country or came from recycled or scrap sources. Seven Primary Suppliers identified six smelters in their supply chains that KVH believes to be higher risk based on publicly available information regarding their location, namely:

 

Mineral   Smelter   Location
Gold   African Gold Refinery   Uganda
Gold   Fidelity Printers and Refiners Ltd.   Zimbabwe
Tin   Mining Minerals Resources SARL   Republic of Congo
Tin   Luna Smelter, Ltd.   Rwanda
Tin   Woodcross Smelting Company Ltd.   Uganda
Tantalum   PowerX Ltd.   Rwanda

 

RMI identified Mining Minerals Resources SARL of the Republic of Congo and Luna Smelter, Ltd. and PowerX Ltd. of Rwanda as “conformant”smelters.

 

Our Global Supply Chain team previously contacted the Primary Suppliers who identified the smelters listed above to confirm what efforts each has taken either to certify its smelters or to identify alternate sources. Each of the Primary Suppliers informed KVH that they do not directly purchase materials from any of the smelters listed above and that they were either (i) downstream distributors of components and/or (ii) engaged as build-to-print contract manufacturers who do not choose the components. Consequently, as in prior reporting years, we were unable to validate that any of the smelters or refiners identified by our Primary Suppliers, including the smelters identified above, are actually in our supply chain. We will continue to follow our risk-mitigation processes first implemented in 2019 to help identify possible higher-risk suppliers prior to engagement, and we intend to contact any new suppliers who identify higher-risk smelters such as these to confirm what efforts they have taken either to certify their smelters or to identify alternate sources, if necessary.

 

 

 

 

Based on our due diligence efforts, KVH has concluded that we do not have sufficient information to determine with specificity the country of origin of all of the Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products or to determine whether the Conflict Minerals were from recycled or scrap sources. Based on the information received from our Primary Suppliers, KVH believes that the facilities that may have been used to process Conflict Minerals in our Covered Products include the smelters and refiners listed in Annex 1 below.

 

As noted above, certain of our suppliers identified African Gold Refinery as a smelter in their supply chains. We understand that African Gold Refinery was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control on March 17, 2022. KVH has no direct business with African Gold Refinery; we are a downstream consumer in the global supply chain leading from smelters and refiners of conflict minerals. However, given the responses by its suppliers, as part of the escalation process, KVH contacted the suppliers that identified African Gold Refinery as a smelter in their supply chains to request additional information regarding whether African Gold Refinery is actually in their supply chains as relevant to KVH. In response, certain suppliers notified us that they are not able to determine whether African Gold Refinery is in the KVH supply chain as a smelter given the complexity of the supply chain for the nature of the products. Accordingly, KVH has no basis to conclude affirmatively that African Gold Refinery is in its supply chain. KVH is continuing this review and will take appropriate steps regarding its supply chain as needed in connection with that review. KVH is committed to acting in full compliance with the U.S. sanctions, including in connection with its supply chain.

 

Section 4. Future Steps to Improve Due Diligence

 

In February 2024, KVH announced a staged wind-down of its manufacturing operations at its Middletown, Rhode Island facility. KVH expects that it will cease substantially all manufacturing activity by the end of 2025. As a result, KVH plans to reassess whether, as of December 31, 2025, it manufactures or contracts to manufacture any products. If not, KVH would expect to file a Form SD with respect to the year ending December 31, 2025 but not for periods thereafter.

 

In order to improve our due diligence process and compliance efforts during the portion of 2025 that it continues to manufacture or contract to manufacture products, KVH intends to continue to:

 

·gather additional information which will assist us in determining whether the Conflict Minerals we utilize benefit armed groups contributing to human rights violations;

 

·collect and evaluate supplier responses and follow-up with those suppliers that we have deemed to be a higher risk due to incomplete or ambiguous responses; and

 

·review, and, if necessary, reassess supplier relationships based on information and resources provided by third-party conflict minerals audit programs such as the RMI’s RMAP and other industry initiatives promoting responsible mineral sourcing practices.

 

During the period that KVH continues to manufacture or contract to manufacture products, KVH will continue to expect our suppliers to reasonably assure us that the minerals in the products they supply are conflict-free.

 

Section 5. Forward Looking Statements

 

This report includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including for example statements regarding our due diligence processes with respect to Conflict Minerals. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. KVH assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.
