Our business consists of two segments, Product Identification (“PI”) and Test & Measurement (“T&M”).

The T&M segment consists of our line of aerospace products, including flight deck printers, networking hardware, and related accessories as well as T&M data acquisition systems sold under the AstroNova® brand name. On May 4, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire MTEX New Solution, S.A., (“MTEX”), a Portugal-based manufacturer of digital printing equipment that addresses a wide variety of markets and applications including textiles, packaging, labeling, apparel, footwear and more. We reported MTEX as a part of our PI segment as of May 6, 2024, the closing date of this acquisition. Refer to Note 3, “Acquisition” for further details. PI products sold under the QuickLabel, TrojanLabel and GetLabels brands are used in brand owner and commercial applications to provide product packaging, marketing, tracking, branding, and labeling solutions to a wide array of industries. The PI segment offers a variety of digital color label tabletop printers and light commercial label printers, direct-to-package printers, high-volume presses, and specialty original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) printing systems, as well as a wide range of label, tag and other supplies, including ink and toner, allowing customers to mark, track, protect and enhance the appearance of their products. PI products sold under the Astro Machine brand also include a variety of label printers, envelope and packaging printing, and related processing and handling equipment. In the T&M segment, we have a long history of using our technologies to provide networking systems and high-resolution flight deck and cabin printers for the aerospace market. In addition, the T&M segment includes data acquisition recorders, sold under the AstroNova brand, to enable our customers to acquire and record visual and electronic signal data from local and networked data streams and sensors. The recorded data is processed, analyzed, stored and presented in various visual output formats. Our PI products are sold by direct field salespersons, OEMs and independent dealers and representatives, while our T&M products are sold predominantly through direct sales and independent representatives. In the United States, we have factory-trained direct field salespeople located throughout the country specializing in PI products. We also have direct field sales or service centers in Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico, Portugal, Singapore, and the United Kingdom staffed by our own employees and dedicated third party contractors.

Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods included herein. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. Some of the more significant estimates relate to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, income taxes, valuation of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, share-based compensation, contingent consideration liability and warranty reserves. Management’s estimates are based on the facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and management’s assessments of the probable future outcome of these matters. Consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain amounts in the prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AstroNova, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
