Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(amounts in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (the Company) is a Texas corporation that provides advanced manufacturing services, which include design and engineering services and technology solutions. From initial product concept to volume production, including direct order fulfillment and aftermarket services, the Company has been providing integrated services and solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) since 1979. The Company serves the following market sectors: complex industrials, aerospace and defense (A&D), medical technologies, semiconductor capital equipment (semi-cap), advanced computing and next-generation communications. The Company has manufacturing operations located in the United States and Mexico (the Americas), Asia and Europe.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) relating to interim financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary in the opinion of management for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the 2023 10-K).

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial statements. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) (ASU 2023-09), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires public entities disclose information about their reportable segments' oversight and significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or will not apply to its operations.

Note 5 – Borrowing Facilities

	March 31,			December 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Revolving credit facility	$	190,000		$	205,000
Term loan		126,328			127,148
Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs		(1,417	)		(1,546	)
Total long-term debt, including current installments	$	314,911		$	330,602

On July 20, 2018, the Company entered into a $650 million credit agreement (the Prior Credit Agreement) by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and an L/C Issuer. The Prior Credit Agreement was comprised of a five-year $500 million revolving credit facility and a five-year $151 million term loan facility, both of which had a maturity date of July 20, 2023. The term loan facility proceeds were used to (i) refinance a portion of existing indebtedness and terminate all commitments under the Company’s prior $430 million credit agreement and (ii) pay the fees, costs and expenses associated with the foregoing and the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Prior Credit Agreement.

On December 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Prior Credit Agreement by entering into a $381 million amended and restated credit agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is comprised of a five-year $250 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) and a five-year $131.3 million term loan facility (the Term Loan Facility), and the maturity date of the original revolving credit facility and term loan facility was extended from July 20, 2023 to December 21, 2026.

On May 20, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the Credit Agreement). The Amendment increased the Revolving Credit Facility commitments from $250 million to $450 million. The Amendment also established that the interest on outstanding borrowings starting on the next reset date and any new borrowings under the Amendment (other than swingline loans) will accrue, at the Company’s option, at (a) the Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement, approximately 1.00% to 2.00% per annum depending on various factors) or (b) for U.S. dollar denominated loans, the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (iii) the one month BSBY adjusted daily rate plus 1.00% and (iv) 1.00%).

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum amount of trade accounts receivable that the Company may elect to sell at any one time to $200.0 million.

On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (Amendment No. 3), which increased the Revolving Credit Facility commitments from $450 million to $550 million. Amendment No. 3 also established that the interest on outstanding borrowings starting on the next reset date and any new borrowings under Amendment No. 3 (other than swingline loans) will accrue, at the Company’s option, at (a) the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.10% plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement, approximately 1.00% to 2.00% per annum depending on various factors) or (b) for U.S. dollar denominated loans, the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00% and (iv) 1.00%).

The Revolving Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature pursuant to which the Company is permitted to add one or more incremental term loans and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of $100 million or a higher amount, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and exceptions.

The Term Loan Facility is subject to quarterly principal installments equal to 0.625% of the initial aggregate term loan advances to be paid. On December 31, 2024, the quarterly principal installments on the Term Loan Facility increased to 1.25% of the initial aggregate term loan advances to be paid.

As of March 31, 2024, a portion of the $126.3 million outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement is effectively at a fixed interest rate of 4.039% as a result of a $126.3 million notional interest rate swap contract, which is discussed in Note 14. A commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30% per annum (based on the debt to EBITDA ratio) on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is payable quarterly in arrears.

8

The Credit Agreement is generally secured by a pledge of (a) all the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of its directly owned foreign subsidiaries, (b) all or substantially all other personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, contract assets, inventory, intellectual property and fixed assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries), in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, and (c) all proceeds and products of the property and assets described in (a) and (b) above.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants related to interest coverage and debt leverage, and certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and liens, pay dividends, repurchase shares, sell assets and merge or consolidate with other persons. Amounts due under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated upon specified events of default, including a failure to pay amounts due, breach of a covenant, material inaccuracy of a representation, or occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency, subject, in some cases, to cure periods.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $126.3 million in borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $190.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $4.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $355.6 million available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility subject to compliance with financial covenants as to interest coverage and debt leverage, in addition to other debt covenant restrictions.

Note 6 – Leases

The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception. The Company leases certain facilities, vehicles and other equipment. The Company’s leases primarily consist of operating leases which expire at various dates through 2036.

Note 7 – Common Stock and Stock-Based Awards

Dividends

On March 11, 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.165 per share of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2024. The dividend of $5.9 million was paid on April 12, 2024.

The Board of Directors currently intends to continue paying quarterly dividends. However, the Company’s future dividend policy is subject to the Company’s compliance with applicable laws, and depends on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in the Company’s debt agreements, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Dividend payments are not mandatory or guaranteed and no assurance is made that the Company will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

Share Repurchase Authorization

On March 6, 2018, the Board of Directors approved an expanded share repurchase authorization granting the Company authority to repurchase up to $250 million in common stock in addition to the $100 million previously approved on December 7, 2015. On October 26, 2018 and February 19, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million and $150 million of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Share purchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, at the discretion of the Company’s management and as market conditions warrant. Purchases will be funded from available cash and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program are retired.

The Company did not repurchase shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $154.6 million remaining under share repurchase authorizations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the 2019 Plan), the Company, upon approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, may grant stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units (both time-based and performance-based) and certain other forms of equity awards, or any combination thereof, to any director, officer, employee or consultant (including any prospective director, officer, employee or consultant) of the Company. Stock options (which have not been awarded since 2015) are granted to employees with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant and typically have a term of 10 years. Time-based restricted stock units granted to employees generally vest over a three-year or four-year period from the date of grant and are subject to continued employment with the Company. Performance-based restricted stock units generally vest over a three-year performance cycle, which includes the year of the grant, and are based upon the Company’s achievement of specified performance metrics. Awards under the 2019 Plan to non-employee directors have historically been in the form of restricted stock units, which vest annually, starting on the grant date. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 1.8 million common shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan.

All share-based payments to employees of the Company, including grants of employee stock options (last awarded in 2015), are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The total compensation costs recognized for stock-based awards were $2.2 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The future tax benefit of these stock-based awards as of the grant date was $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, compensation cost is calculated taking into consideration the probability that the underlying performance goals will be achieved, which is monitored by management throughout the requisite service period. When it becomes probable, based on management’s expectation of the Company’s performance during the measurement period, that more or less than the previous estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to compensation cost is recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period the change is determined.

As of March 31, 2024, the unrecognized compensation costs and remaining weighted-average amortization periods related to stock-based awards were as follows:

(in thousands)	Time- Based Restricted Stock Units		Performance- Based Restricted Stock Units
Unrecognized compensation cost	$	31,953	$	7,395
Remaining weighted-average amortization period	2.6 years		2.5 years

(1) Based on the probable achievement of the performance goals identified in each award.

The total cash received by the Company as a result of stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized as a result of stock option exercises and the vesting of other share-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $2.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

For performance-based restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the number of performance-based restricted stock units that will ultimately be earned will not be determined until the end of the respective performance periods, and may vary from as low as zero to as high as 2.5 times the target number depending on the level of achievement of certain performance goals. The level of achievement of these goals is based upon the financial results of the Company for the last full calendar year within the performance period. The performance goals consist of certain levels of achievement using the following financial metrics: revenue, operating income margin, and return on invested capital. If the performance goals are not met based on the Company’s financial results, the applicable performance-based restricted stock units will not vest and will be forfeited. Shares subject to forfeited performance-based restricted stock units will be available for re-issuance under the Company’s 2019 Plan.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

Income tax expense consists of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Current:
U.S. Federal	$	(445	)	$	525
State and local		115			66
Foreign		7,274			3,444
Deferred		(1,847	)		(1,010	)
Total income tax expense	$	5,097		$	3,025

12

Income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the mix of taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, the impact of tax incentives and tax holidays in foreign locations, state income taxes (net of federal benefit), the U.S. tax under the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions, and the Global Minimum Tax (GMT) as defined under the Pillar Two directives of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for those international countries that have adopted the specific requirements of the Pillar Two directives. GILTI requires the Company to include in its U.S federal income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiaries tangible fixed assets. The taxable earnings can be offset by a limited deemed paid foreign tax credit with no carrybacks or carryforwards available. The Company accounts for the GILTI as a period cost and does not include it as a factor in the determination of deferred taxes. The GMT has been adopted by several international countries where the Company conducts its manufacturing operations. The adoption by these countries of the GMT requires that the Company's applicable foreign subsidiaries include in their income tax expense an additional “top-up” tax that achieves a corporate minimum effective tax rate of 15% if the overall adjusted effective tax rate is less than 15%. The Company has included in its income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 an estimated amount of GMT for its foreign subsidiaries as required under the applicable GMT rules of the countries that have adopted the Pillar Two directives.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has a total Transition Tax liability of $36.2 million. The Company intends to pay this liability over the remaining two-year payment period as prescribed by the U.S. Tax Reform and regulatory guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As of March 31, 2024, the Company expects to pay $16.1 million of the remaining liability in 2024 and $20.1 million in 2025. The current portion of the transition tax liability is accrued in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of the transition tax liability is accrued in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $477.2 million in cumulative undistributed foreign earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. These earnings are not subject to U.S. federal income tax if distributed to the Company. The Company changed its assertion during 2018 on its foreign subsidiaries earnings that are permanently reinvested. A certain amount of earnings from specific foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested, and certain foreign earnings from other specific foreign subsidiaries are considered to be non-permanently reinvested and are available for immediate distribution to the Company. Income taxes have been accrued on the non-permanently reinvested foreign earnings, including the 2017 Transition Tax, the U.S. tax on GILTI and any applicable foreign or local withholding taxes. The Company estimates that it has approximately $9.1 million of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities related to any remaining undistributed permanently reinvested foreign earnings that have not already been subject to the 2017 Transition Tax, the U.S. tax on GILTI, and any applicable foreign income tax or local withholding tax on cash distributions.

The Company has been granted certain tax incentives, including tax holidays, for its subsidiaries in Thailand, China and Malaysia that expire at various dates, unless extended or otherwise renegotiated and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. The tax incentives in Thailand will expire on December 31, 2030. The tax incentives in China expired on December 31, 2023 and the tax incentives in Malaysia expired on March 31, 2021. The Company will apply for a continuation of the Malaysia tax holiday, which will extend the tax incentive period for five to ten years if approved. The Company will also apply for a China tax holiday in 2024. There is no guarantee of being awarded these tax incentives in the future. The net impact of these tax incentives was to lower foreign income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 by approximately $0.8 million (approximately $0.02 per diluted share) and $1.9 million (approximately $0.05 per diluted share), respectively.

A summary of the Company's tax incentives follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Thailand	$	804	$	1,759
China		—		182
Total tax incentives	$	804	$	1,941

As of March 31, 2024, the total amount of the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $9.9 million. The reserve is classified as a current or long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the Company’s expectation of when the items will be settled. If the reserve for uncertain tax benefits was recognized, the effect would be $9.9 million. The Company records interest expense and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain income tax benefits as a component of current income tax expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

13

The Company and its subsidiaries in Brazil, China, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Romania, Singapore, Thailand and the United States remain open to examination by the various local taxing authorities, in total or in part, for fiscal years 2017 to 2023. During the course of such income tax examinations, disputes may occur as to matters of fact or law. Also, in most tax jurisdictions, the passage of time without examination will result in the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations thereby precluding examination of the tax period(s) for which such statute of limitation has expired. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for its tax liabilities.

Note 9 – Revenue

The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from its manufacturing services, which entails the sale of manufactured products built to customer specifications. The Company also generates revenue from design, development and engineering services, in addition to the sale of other inventory.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a manufactured product to a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature. Customers are generally billed when the product is shipped or as services are performed. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. For other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the product to the customer, which is generally when goods are shipped. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company assumes no significant obligations after shipment as it typically warrants workmanship only. Therefore, the warranty provisions are generally not significant.

If the Company records revenue, but does not issue an invoice, a contract asset is recognized. The contract asset is transferred to trade accounts receivable when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional.

Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, contract assets and advance payments from customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 85.3% and 87.9%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue was recognized as products and services that were transferred over time.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s right to consideration for work completed but not billed to the customer as of period end. Contract asset balances are transferred to trade accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.

A summary of activity related to the Company’s contract assets follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Balance as of the beginning of the year	$	174,979		$	183,613
Revenue recognized		577,000			630,774
Amounts collected or invoiced		(571,165	)		(620,253	)
Balance as of the end of the period	$	180,814		$	194,134

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $189.2 million and $204.9 million, respectively, in advance payments from customers. Of those amounts, $176.2 million and $191.6 million, respectively, were customer deposits and prepayments of inventory and $13.0 million and $13.3 million, respectively, were related to the contractual timing of payments. The advance payments are not considered a significant financing component because they are used to meet working capital demands of a contract, offset inventory risks and protect the Company from the failure of other parties to fulfill obligations under a contract.

Note 10 – Accounts Receivable Sale Programs

As of March 31, 2024, in connection with trade accounts receivable sale programs with unaffiliated financial institutions, the Company may elect to sell, at a discount, on an ongoing basis, up to a maximum of $200.0 million of specific accounts receivable at any one time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold $135.1 million and $152.8 million, respectively, of accounts receivable under these programs, and in exchange, the Company received cash proceeds of $134.1 million and $151.8 million, respectively, net of the discount. The Company recognizes the loss on sale resulting from the discount in other expense, net in its consolidated statements of income.

Note 11 – Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 12 – Restructuring Charges and Other Costs

The Company has undertaken initiatives to restructure its business operations to improve utilization and realize cost savings. These initiatives have included changing the number and location of production facilities, largely to align capacity and infrastructure with current and anticipated customer demand. This alignment includes transferring programs from higher cost geographies to lower cost geographies. The Company’s restructuring process entails moving production between facilities, reducing staff levels, realigning business processes, reorganizing management and other activities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $3.3 million of restructuring charges, which primarily related to capacity and workforce reductions at its sites in the Americas.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $1.4 million of restructuring charges, which primarily related to the previously announced closures of its sites in Moorpark, California and other smaller activities involving capacity and workforce reductions at other facilities. The operations at the Moorpark, California facility ceased as of March 31, 2023 and the related restructuring activity was substantially completed as of December 31, 2023.

The components of restructuring charges were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Note 13 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding stock equivalents. Stock equivalents include common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and other equity instruments and are computed using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share and the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period.

The following table sets forth the calculation of the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2024		2023
Net income	$	14,002	$	12,360
Denominator for basic earnings per share		35,810		35,336
Incremental common shares attributable to outstanding restricted stock units		586		250
Incremental common shares attributable to exercise of dilutive options		5		6
Denominator for diluted earnings per share		36,401		35,592
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.39	$	0.35
Diluted	$	0.38	$	0.35

16

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Restricted stock units totaling less than 0.1 million and 0.2 million common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Note 14 – Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedges. For cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the Company believes that the carrying values of its financial instruments approximate the fair values because of their short-term nature. For borrowings under the Credit Agreement in long-term debt, the Company believes that the fair value approximates the carrying value because the interest rates are variable. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the variability of foreign currency obligations and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments follows:

		March 31,			December 31,
(in thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	2024			2023
Derivatives designated as    hedging instruments:
Forward currency exchange contracts	Other long-term assets	$	3,950		$	2,664
Interest rate swap agreement	Other long-term liabilities		(93	)		(2,458	)

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company utilizes forward currency exchange contracts to manage its foreign currency exposure. The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts for its operations in Mexico, Europe and Asia. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and the changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows. The fair value estimates for the Company’s forward currency exchange contracts are based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which includes obtaining directly or indirectly observable values from third parties active in the relevant markets. Inputs in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts include prevailing forward and spot prices for currencies.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.3 million ($0.9 million net of tax) on its forward currency exchange contracts in other comprehensive income (loss) and transferred unrealized gains of $0.9 million to cost of sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.7 million ($1.2 million net of tax) on its forward currency exchange contracts in other comprehensive income (loss) and transferred unrealized gains of $0.4 million to cost of sales.

The Company also has forward currency exchange contracts that have not been designated as accounting hedges and, therefore, changes in fair value are recorded in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of income.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

The Company utilizes an interest rate swap agreement to hedge a portion of its interest rate exposure on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives variable rate interest payments based on the one-month SOFR rate and pays fixed rate interest payments. The effect of the swap is to convert a portion of the floating rate interest expense to fixed interest rate expense. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap contract and the underlying borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the interest rate swap was determined to be highly effective, and thus qualifies and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The fair value estimates for the Company’s respective interest rate swap agreements were based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, as the Company obtains the valuation from a third party active in relevant markets. The valuation of the interest rate swap agreements is primarily measured through various pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis that incorporate observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves and volatility.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 20, 2023 and the fixed interest rate for the contract is 4.039%. As of March 31, 2024, the notional amount of this interest rate swap was $126.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $2.4 million ($1.8 million net of tax) on the interest rate swap in other comprehensive

17

income (loss). The Company’s previous interest rate swap agreement matured on July 20, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $0.1 million ($0.1 million net of tax) on the interest rate swap in other comprehensive income (loss).

Note 15 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Note 16 – Segment and Geographic Information

The Company currently has manufacturing facilities in the Americas, Asia and Europe to serve its customers. The Company is operated and managed geographically, and management evaluates performance and allocates the Company’s resources on a geographic basis. Intersegment sales are generally recorded at prices that approximate arm’s length transactions. Operating segments’ measure of profitability is based on income from operations. Corporate and intersegment eliminations include (1) corporate expenses not allocated to the Company’s three reporting segments, which are primarily general and administrative expenses such as corporate employee payroll and benefit costs and corporate facility costs, and (2) income from operations on intersegment sales between reporting segments. Corporate functions include legal, finance, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, business development and other administrative functions. The accounting policies for the reportable operating segments are the same as for the Company taken as a whole. The Company has three reportable operating segments: the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

OVERVIEW

Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (the Company) is a Texas corporation that provides advanced manufacturing services (electronic manufacturing services (EMS) and precision technology (PT) services), which includes design and engineering services and technology solutions. From initial product concept to volume production, including direct order fulfillment and aftermarket services, we are a trusted integrated services partner to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Served markets include: semiconductor capital equipment (semi-cap), complex industrials, medical technologies, commercial aerospace and defense (A&D), advanced computing and next-generation communications. The Company has manufacturing operations located in the United States and Mexico (the Americas), Asia and Europe.

Our customer engagement focuses on three principal areas:

•Manufacturing Services, which include printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) using both traditional surface mount technologies and microelectronics, subsystem assembly, system build and integration. System builds and integration often involve building a finished assembly that includes PCBAs, complex subsystem assemblies, mechatronics, displays, mechanicals, and other components. These final products may be configured to order and delivered directly to the end customer across all the industries we serve. Manufacturing services also includes precision technology services comprised of precision machining, advanced metal joining and welding, cleaning, assembly and functional testing primarily for the semi-cap (serving semiconductor capital equipment customers) and A&D markets.

•Design & Engineering Services, which include design for manufacturability, design optimization for our factory processes and supply chain, and test development, concurrent and sustaining engineering, turnkey product design and regulatory services. Our engineering services may be for systems, sub-systems, printed circuit boards and assemblies, and components. We have the flexibility and capability to engage anywhere in the customer’s design process flow. We provide these services across all the industries we serve.

21

•Technology Solutions, which involve developing a library of building blocks or reference designs primarily in defense solutions, surveillance systems, millimeter wave radio frequency (RF) subsystems, and front-end managed connected data collection systems. We often partner with our customers to merge these solutions utilizing our engineering services to provide turnkey product development from requirements through the launch to volume production into our factories. Our building blocks can be utilized across a variety of industries, but we have significant focus and capabilities in the A&D, medical, next-generation communications, and the complex industrials markets. We have also developed differentiated capabilities in RF. The need to improve size, weight, and power to accommodate high frequency electronics communications is important to customers in the A&D, medical, and next-generation communications markets.

Our core strength lies in our ability to partner with our customers to provide concept-to-production solutions through a tightly integrated and seamless set of design, test, manufacturing, supply chain, and support services. The integration of these product realization services, along with our global manufacturing presence, increases our ability to respond to our customers’ needs by providing accelerated time-to-market and time-to-volume production of high-quality products with an emphasis on complex products serving regulated markets with higher reliability requirements. These capabilities and attributes enable us to build strong strategic relationships with our customers while becoming an integral part of their business.

We believe our primary source of differentiation and value-add rests with our ability to engage with our customers at any point, from product development through volume production. This is enabled by our highly skilled personnel’s ability to provide leading-edge technical capabilities in engineering services (including full lifecycle), high frequency RF solutions, microelectronics, miniaturization, and manufacturing services (including electronics and complex precision machining). These capabilities are brought to bear across diversified commercial end-markets, many of which are government regulated. To support customers across these sectors, we have strategically invested in geographically diverse manufacturing locations and global supply chain efficiencies.

In addition, we believe that a strong focus on human capital through the talent we hire and retain is critical to maintaining our competitiveness. Our people-first culture is centered on our five core values, consisting of acting with integrity, valuing inclusion, commitment to customers, promoting ingenuity, and genuine caring for each other, our customers and our communities, and we take pride in our innovative and continuous improvement mindset. We desire to delight our customers and deliver operational and financial performance aligned with our goals. Through our employee engagement and customer satisfaction feedback processes, we continuously solicit and act upon information to improve our company and better support our customers and business processes. We have invested in attracting and developing leadership throughout the organization and are committed to diversity and inclusion in our efforts to develop an innovative and forward-thinking workforce.

Our customers often face challenges in designing supply chains, demand planning, procuring materials and managing their inventories efficiently due to fluctuations in their customer demand, product design changes, short product life cycles and component price fluctuations.

We employ enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and lean manufacturing principles to manage procurement and manufacturing processes in an efficient and cost-effective manner so that, where possible, components arrive on a just-in-time, as-and-when-needed basis. Because we are a significant purchaser of electronic components and other raw materials, we are generally able to capitalize on the economies of scale associated with our relationships with suppliers to negotiate price discounts, obtain components and other raw materials that are in short supply, and return excess components. Utilizing our agility and expertise in supply chain management and our relationships with suppliers across the supply chain, we strive to help reduce our customers’ cost of goods sold and inventory exposure. However, due to global labor and supply disruptions, we continue to see component supply chain constraints across all commodity categories that are constraining our ability to produce the full demand forecasts we are receiving from customers.

We recognize manufacturing services revenue as the customer takes control of the manufactured products built to customer specifications. We also generate revenue from our design, development and engineering services, in addition to the sale of other inventory.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Under the majority of our manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. For other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, we recognize revenue upon transfer of control of the product to the customer, which is generally when the goods are shipped. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. As a general matter, we assume no significant obligations after shipment as we typically warrant workmanship only. Therefore, the warranty provisions are generally not significant.

First Quarter of 2024 Highlights

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $675.6 million, a 3% decrease from sales of $694.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, sales to customers in our various industry sectors varied from the first quarter of 2023 as follows:

 Semi-Cap increased by 12%,

 Complex Industrials decreased by 2%,

 Medical decreased by 16%,

 A&D increased by 33%,

 Advanced Computing decreased by 6%, and

 Next-Generation Communications decreased by 36%.

The overall revenue decrease was primarily due to lower Medical and Next-Generation Communications revenue, due to general end demand softness. This was less than offset by increases in Semi-Cap and A&D revenue, as a result of higher demand from existing customers and end-demand strength in both defense and commercial aerospace subsectors. See “Results of Operations — Sales” discussion below.

Our sales depend on the success of our customers, some of which operate in businesses associated with rapid technological change and consequent product obsolescence. Developments adverse to our major customers or their products, the availability of electronic component supply, or the failure of a major customer to pay for components or services have adversely affected us by not allowing us to fulfill our total customer demand. A substantial percentage of our sales are made to a small number of customers, and the loss of a major customer, if not replaced, would adversely affect us. Sales to our ten largest customers represented 54% and 51% of our total sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. After a period of unprecedented global labor and supply disruptions, we have seen a general easing of certain material constraints across commodity categories, with the exception of older technologies where semiconductor original equipment manufacturers are not adding incremental capacity. The lack of capacity regarding these older technologies could constrain our ability to produce the full demand forecasts we are receiving from customers needing those parts. Lead times are also improving from the previous highs that prompted many suppliers to categorize some of their constrained components with non-cancellable and non-returnable business terms. Until recently, these constraints led to last-minute allocations and created inefficiencies in our operations, as well as increased costs to us and our customers.

We experience fluctuations in gross profit from period to period. Different programs contribute different gross profits depending on the type of services involved, location of production, size of the program, complexity of the product and level of material costs associated with the various products. Moreover, new programs can contribute relatively less to our gross profit in their early stages when manufacturing volumes are usually lower, resulting in inefficiencies and unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs. During periods of low production volume, we generally have unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs and reduced gross profit. Gross profit can also be impacted by higher costs associated with other situations, such as supply chain constraints. This includes supply chain premiums for excess component costs paid to secure available supply resulting in revenue with cost recovery only with no margin. In addition, a number of our new program ramps require incremental investment during the launch and ramp phase, which can exert downward pressure on our gross profit.

We have undertaken initiatives to restructure our business operations with the intention of improving utilization and reducing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $3.3 million of restructuring charges and other costs due to capacity and workforce reductions at our sites in the Americas. See “Results of Operations — Restructuring Charges and Other Costs”.

Inflation, interest rates, disruption in the global economy and financial markets, and geopolitical events continue to create uncertainty. However, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require updates to our estimates or judgments or require us to revise the carrying values of our assets or liabilities as of the date we filed this Report. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our international operations are subject to the risks of doing business abroad. See Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 10-K for factors pertaining to our international sales, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and a discussion of potential adverse effects in operating results associated with the risks of doing business abroad. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 58% and 59%, respectively, of our sales were from international operations.

Sales by geographic segment were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Sales:
Americas	$	372,329		$	397,207

Elimination of intersegment sales		(35,066	)		(48,410	)
Total sales	$	675,575		$	694,695

Americas. First quarter of 2024 sales decreased 6% to $372.3 million from $397.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to softness in the next-generation communications and complex industrials sectors partially offset by increased demand in the A&D sector.

Asia. First quarter of 2024 sales decreased 4% to $257.8 million from $268.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in existing customer demand of our medical and next-generation communications sectors.

Europe. First quarter of 2024 sales increased 3% to $80.5 million from $77.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to high demand in the semi-cap and A&D sectors partially offset by a decrease in the complex industrials sector.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased 5% to $67.4 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $64.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to improved operational efficiencies and the proactive reduction actions taken by our manufacturing sites. Gross profit margin increased to 10.0% in the first quarter of 2024 from 9.2% in the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to improved operational efficiencies and the proactive cost reduction actions taken by our manufacturing sites.

Income from Operations

First quarter of 2024 income from operations increased 12% to $25.5 million from $22.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to improved gross margin and cost actions taken to reduce selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.

Income from operations by reportable segment was as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Income from operations:
Americas	$	12,966		$	13,331
Asia		33,777			28,784

Corporate and intersegment eliminations		(27,991	)		(26,059	)
Total income from operations	$	25,529		$	22,742

25

Americas. First quarter of 2024 income from operations decreased 3% to $13.0 million from $13.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue partially offset by cost control.

Asia. First quarter of 2024 income from operations increased 17% to $33.8 million from $28.8 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to cost control partially offset by lower revenue.

Europe. First quarter of 2024 income from operations increased 1% to $6.8 million from $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue and cost control.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses decreased to $37.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $38.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to cost actions taken, coupled with lower variable compensation expense.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets decreased to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized in 2023.

Restructuring Charges and Other Costs

During the first quarter of 2024, we recognized $3.3 million of restructuring charges and other costs primarily due to capacity and workforce reductions at our sites in the Americas.

During the first quarter of 2023, we recognized $1.4 million of restructuring charges and other costs primarily due to expenses associated with announced site closures or exits, reductions in workforce and other restructuring activities primarily in the Americas.

See Note 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information on our restructuring charges and other costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to additional borrowings to support our operations as well as the higher interest rate environment.

Interest Income

Interest income increased to $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net decreased to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower foreign currency exchange losses.

26

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $5.1 million represented a 26.7% effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024, compared with $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2023, representing an effective tax rate of 19.7%. The increase in 2024 is due to the expiration of the tax incentive in China, the impact of the global intangible low-taxed income tax (GILTI) impact in the United States, and the implementation of the Global Minimum Tax (GMT) in some of our foreign jurisdictions beginning in 2024.

The Company has been granted certain tax incentives, including tax holidays, for its subsidiaries in Thailand, China and Malaysia that expire at various dates, unless extended or otherwise renegotiated, and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. The tax incentives in Thailand will expire on December 31, 2030. The tax incentives in China expired on December 31, 2023 and the tax incentives in Malaysia expired on March 31, 2021. The Company is applying for a continuation of the Malaysia tax holiday, which will extend the tax incentive period for five to ten years if approved. The Company will also apply for a China tax holiday in 2024. There is no guarantee of being awarded these tax incentives in the future. See Note 8 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Net Income

We reported net income of $14.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $12.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the items discussed above.

27

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically financed our organic growth and operations through funds generated from operations and occasional borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as defined below). Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $296.1 million as of March 31, 2024, which included $271.4 million held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries.

Our operations, and the operations of businesses we acquire, are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, health and safety matters. We believe we operate in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements, and we seek to ensure that newly acquired businesses comply or will comply substantially with applicable requirements. To date, the costs of compliance and workplace and environmental remediation have not been material to us. However, material costs and liabilities may arise from these requirements or from new, modified or more stringent requirements in the future. In addition, our past, current and future operations, and the operations of businesses we have or may acquire, may give rise to claims of exposure by employees or the public, or to other claims or liabilities relating to environmental, waste management or health and safety concerns.

Management believes that our existing cash balances, funds generated from operations, and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to permit us to meet our liquidity requirements over the next 12 months. Management further believes that our ongoing cash flows from operations and any borrowings we may incur under our revolving credit facility will enable us to meet operating cash requirements in future years. If we consummated significant acquisitions in the future, our capital needs would increase and could possibly result in our need to increase available borrowings under our Credit Agreement or access public or private debt and equity markets. There can be no assurance, however, that we would be successful in raising additional debt or equity on acceptable terms.

Cash Flows

Cash provided from operating activities was $48.5 million in first quarter of 2024 and primarily consisted of $14.0 million of net income, adjusted for $11.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.2 million of stock-based compensation expense, a $31.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $45.2 million decrease in inventories, partially offset by a $20.3 million decrease in accounts payable and a $15.7 million decrease in advance payments from customers. Working capital was $0.9 billion as of March 31, 2024.

We primarily purchase components only after customer orders or forecasts are received, which mitigates, but does not eliminate, the risk of loss on inventories. Supplies of electronic components and other materials used in operations are subject to industry-wide shortages. In certain instances, suppliers may allocate available quantities to us. When shortages of these components and other material supplies used in operations have occurred, vendors have at times been unable to ship the quantities we need for production, forcing us to delay shipments, which can increase backorders and impact cash flows. Vendors also may increase the costs of components based on the market conditions including these shortages. In certain instances, we request and receive advance payments from customers as prepayments of inventory to meet working capital demands of a contract, offset inventory risks such as inventory purchased in advance of current needs and protect the Company from the failure of other parties to fulfill obligations under a contract. For example, we have been impacted by supply chain constraints, including shortages, longer lead times and increased transit times.

Cash used in investing activities was $6.2 million in first quarter of 2024 primarily due to capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of $5.2 million and purchased software of $0.7 million. The purchases of property, plant and equipment were primarily for leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment in the Americas and Asia.

Cash used in financing activities was $27.1 million in first quarter of 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $175.0 million and principal payments under the Credit Agreement were $190.8 million. In addition, we paid $5.9 million of dividends and $5.8 million for employee taxes paid to settle stock-based awards exercised during the first quarter of 2024.

Credit Agreement

On December 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Company’s prior $650 million credit agreement by entering into a $381 million amended and restated credit agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, in addition to the $131.3 million term loan facility, we have a $250.0 million five-year revolving credit facility to be used for general corporate purposes, both with a maturity date of December 21, 2026.

28

On May 20, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the Credit Agreement). The Amendment increased the revolving credit facility commitments from $250 million to $450 million. The Amendment also established that the interest on outstanding borrowings starting on the next reset date and any new borrowings under the Amendment (other than swingline loans) will accrue, at the Company’s option, at (a) Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement, approximately 1.00% to 2.00% per annum depending on various factors) or (b) for U.S. dollar denominated loans, the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (iii) the one-month BSBY adjusted daily rate plus 1.00% and (iv) 1.00%).

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum amount of trade accounts receivable that the Company may elect to sell at any one time to $200.0 million.

On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (Amendment No. 3), which increased the revolving credit facility commitments from $450 million to $550 million. Amendment No. 3 also established that the interest on outstanding borrowings starting on the next reset date and any new borrowings under Amendment No. 3 (other than swingline loans) will accrue, at the Company’s option, at (a) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.10% plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement, approximately 1.00% to 2.00% per annum depending on various factors) or (b) for U.S. dollar denominated loans, the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00% and (iv) 1.00%).

As of March 31, 2024, we had $126.3 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loan facility and $190.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $4.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility. See Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding the terms of our Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants related to interest coverage and debt leverage, and certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on our ability to incur additional debt and liens, pay dividends, repurchase shares, sell assets and merge or consolidate with other persons. Amounts due under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated upon specified events of default, including a failure to pay amounts due, breach of a covenant, material inaccuracy of a representation, or occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency, subject, in some cases, to cure periods. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of these covenants and restrictions.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $355.6 million available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement. During the next 12 months, we believe our capital expenditures will approximate $60 million to $70 million, principally for machinery and equipment to help increase our production capacity to support anticipated revenue growth and our ongoing business around the globe.

Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, cash dividends paid totaled $5.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively. On March 11, 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.165 per share of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2024. The dividend of $5.9 million was paid on April 12, 2024.

The Board of Directors currently intends to continue paying quarterly dividends. However, the Company’s future dividend policy is subject to the Company’s compliance with applicable law, and depending on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in the Company’s debt agreements, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Dividend payments are not mandatory or guaranteed; there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

Share Repurchase Authorization

On March 6, 2018, the Board of Directors approved an expanded share repurchase authorization granting the Company authority to repurchase up to $250 million in common stock in addition to the $100 million previously approved on December 7, 2015. On October 26, 2018 and February 19, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million and $150 million of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Share purchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, at the discretion of the Company’s management and as market conditions warrant. Purchases will be funded from available cash and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program are retired. The Company did not repurchase shares in 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $154.6 million remaining under share repurchase authorizations.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

We have certain contractual obligations for operating leases that were summarized in “Contractual Obligations” under Part II, Item 7 in our 2023 10-K. Other than items discussed in Note 5 and Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations, outside of the ordinary course of our business, since December 31, 2023.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES AND RECENTLY ENACTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Management’s discussion and analysis is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of recently enacted accounting principles. Also, our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 10-K. There have been no changes to the items disclosed as critical accounting estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2023 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our international sales comprise a significant portion of our business. We are exposed to risks associated with operating internationally, including:

•Foreign currency exchange risk;

•Import and export duties, taxes and regulatory changes;

•Inflationary economies or currencies; and

•Economic and political instability.

Additionally, some of our operations are in developing countries. Certain events, including natural disasters, can impact the infrastructure of a developing country more severely than they would impact the infrastructure of a developed country. A developing country can also take longer to recover from such events, which could lead to delays in our ability to resume full operations.

We transact business in various foreign countries and are subject to foreign currency fluctuation risks. We use natural hedging and forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure primarily associated with trade accounts receivable, other receivables and trade accounts payable that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Certain forward currency exchange contracts in place as of March 31, 2024 have not been designated as accounting hedges and, therefore, changes in fair value are recorded within our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency expenses. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows.

Our sales are substantially denominated in U.S. dollars. Our foreign currency cash flows are generated in certain European and Asian countries and Mexico.

We are also exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates on our financial instruments, a portion of which relates to our invested cash balances. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investing activities. We place cash and cash equivalents and investments with various major financial institutions. We protect our invested principal funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We mitigate default risk by generally investing in investment grade securities.

We are also exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings under our Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, we had $126.3 million outstanding on the floating rate term loan facility, and we have an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $126.3 million and a fixed interest rate of 4.039%. Under this swap agreement, we receive variable rate interest rate payments and pay fixed rate interest payments. The effect of this swap is to convert our floating rate interest expense to fixed interest rate expense. The interest rate swap is designated as a cash flow hedge.

For additional information regarding our forward currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreement, see Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s management (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)) conducted an evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We are currently upgrading our ERP system, which is expected to occur in phases over the next several years. We have completed the implementation of the upgrades at certain of the Company’s locations and have revised and updated the related controls. These changes did not materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. As we implement the upgrades of this ERP system at the remaining locations over the next several years, we will continue to assess the impact on our internal control over financial reporting.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals’ acts, by collusion of two or more people, or by management overriding the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) (ASU 2023-09), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires public entities disclose information about their reportable segments' oversight and significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or will not apply to its operations.

On July 20, 2018, the Company entered into a $650 million credit agreement (the Prior Credit Agreement) by and among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and an L/C Issuer. The Prior Credit Agreement was comprised of a five-year $500 million revolving credit facility and a five-year $151 million term loan facility, both of which had a maturity date of July 20, 2023. The term loan facility proceeds were used to (i) refinance a portion of existing indebtedness and terminate all commitments under the Company’s prior $430 million credit agreement and (ii) pay the fees, costs and expenses associated with the foregoing and the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Prior Credit Agreement.

On December 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated the Prior Credit Agreement by entering into a $381 million amended and restated credit agreement (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is comprised of a five-year $250 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) and a five-year $131.3 million term loan facility (the Term Loan Facility), and the maturity date of the original revolving credit facility and term loan facility was extended from July 20, 2023 to December 21, 2026.

On May 20, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the Credit Agreement). The Amendment increased the Revolving Credit Facility commitments from $250 million to $450 million. The Amendment also established that the interest on outstanding borrowings starting on the next reset date and any new borrowings under the Amendment (other than swingline loans) will accrue, at the Company’s option, at (a) the Bloomberg Short Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement, approximately 1.00% to 2.00% per annum depending on various factors) or (b) for U.S. dollar denominated loans, the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (iii) the one month BSBY adjusted daily rate plus 1.00% and (iv) 1.00%).

On February 3, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, which increased the maximum amount of trade accounts receivable that the Company may elect to sell at any one time to $200.0 million.

On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement (Amendment No. 3), which increased the Revolving Credit Facility commitments from $450 million to $550 million. Amendment No. 3 also established that the interest on outstanding borrowings starting on the next reset date and any new borrowings under Amendment No. 3 (other than swingline loans) will accrue, at the Company’s option, at (a) the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 0.10% plus the Applicable Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement, approximately 1.00% to 2.00% per annum depending on various factors) or (b) for U.S. dollar denominated loans, the base rate (which is the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate, (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00% and (iv) 1.00%).

The Revolving Credit Facility is available for general corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature pursuant to which the Company is permitted to add one or more incremental term loans and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of $100 million or a higher amount, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and exceptions.

The Term Loan Facility is subject to quarterly principal installments equal to 0.625% of the initial aggregate term loan advances to be paid. On December 31, 2024, the quarterly principal installments on the Term Loan Facility increased to 1.25% of the initial aggregate term loan advances to be paid.

As of March 31, 2024, a portion of the $126.3 million outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement is effectively at a fixed interest rate of 4.039% as a result of a $126.3 million notional interest rate swap contract, which is discussed in Note 14. A commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30% per annum (based on the debt to EBITDA ratio) on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is payable quarterly in arrears.

The Credit Agreement is generally secured by a pledge of (a) all the capital stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of its directly owned foreign subsidiaries, (b) all or substantially all other personal property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, contract assets, inventory, intellectual property and fixed assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries), in each case, subject to customary exceptions and limitations, and (c) all proceeds and products of the property and assets described in (a) and (b) above.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants related to interest coverage and debt leverage, and certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt and liens, pay dividends, repurchase shares, sell assets and merge or consolidate with other persons. Amounts due under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated upon specified events of default, including a failure to pay amounts due, breach of a covenant, material inaccuracy of a representation, or occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency, subject, in some cases, to cure periods.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $126.3 million in borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, $190.0 million in borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $4.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $355.6 million available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility subject to compliance with financial covenants as to interest coverage and debt leverage, in addition to other debt covenant restrictions.

Equity [Abstract]

Common Stock and Stock-Based Awards

Note 7 – Common Stock and Stock-Based Awards

Dividends

On March 11, 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.165 per share of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of record as of March 29, 2024. The dividend of $5.9 million was paid on April 12, 2024.

The Board of Directors currently intends to continue paying quarterly dividends. However, the Company’s future dividend policy is subject to the Company’s compliance with applicable laws, and depends on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, restrictions in the Company’s debt agreements, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Dividend payments are not mandatory or guaranteed and no assurance is made that the Company will continue to pay a dividend in the future.

Share Repurchase Authorization

On March 6, 2018, the Board of Directors approved an expanded share repurchase authorization granting the Company authority to repurchase up to $250 million in common stock in addition to the $100 million previously approved on December 7, 2015. On October 26, 2018 and February 19, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional $100 million and $150 million of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Share purchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, at the discretion of the Company’s management and as market conditions warrant. Purchases will be funded from available cash and may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Shares repurchased under the program are retired.

The Company did not repurchase shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $154.6 million remaining under share repurchase authorizations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the 2019 Plan), the Company, upon approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, may grant stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units (both time-based and performance-based) and certain other forms of equity awards, or any combination thereof, to any director, officer, employee or consultant (including any prospective director, officer, employee or consultant) of the Company. Stock options (which have not been awarded since 2015) are granted to employees with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, generally vest over a four-year period from the date of grant and typically have a term of 10 years. Time-based restricted stock units granted to employees generally vest over a three-year or four-year period from the date of grant and are subject to continued employment with the Company. Performance-based restricted stock units generally vest over a three-year performance cycle, which includes the year of the grant, and are based upon the Company’s achievement of specified performance metrics. Awards under the 2019 Plan to non-employee directors have historically been in the form of restricted stock units, which vest annually, starting on the grant date. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 1.8 million common shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan.

All share-based payments to employees of the Company, including grants of employee stock options (last awarded in 2015), are recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their grant date fair values. The total compensation costs recognized for stock-based awards were $2.2 million and $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The future tax benefit of these stock-based awards as of the grant date was $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair values of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, compensation cost is calculated taking into consideration the probability that the underlying performance goals will be achieved, which is monitored by management throughout the requisite service period. When it becomes probable, based on management’s expectation of the Company’s performance during the measurement period, that more or less than the previous estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to compensation cost is recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period the change is determined.

As of March 31, 2024, the unrecognized compensation costs and remaining weighted-average amortization periods related to stock-based awards were as follows:

(in thousands)	Time- Based Restricted Stock Units		Performance- Based Restricted Stock Units
Unrecognized compensation cost	$	31,953	$	7,395
Remaining weighted-average amortization period	2.6 years		2.5 years

(1) Based on the probable achievement of the performance goals identified in each award.

The total cash received by the Company as a result of stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized as a result of stock option exercises and the vesting of other share-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $2.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised were less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

For performance-based restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the number of performance-based restricted stock units that will ultimately be earned will not be determined until the end of the respective performance periods, and may vary from as low as zero to as high as 2.5 times the target number depending on the level of achievement of certain performance goals. The level of achievement of these goals is based upon the financial results of the Company for the last full calendar year within the performance period. The performance goals consist of certain levels of achievement using the following financial metrics: revenue, operating income margin, and return on invested capital. If the performance goals are not met based on the Company’s financial results, the applicable performance-based restricted stock units will not vest and will be forfeited. Shares subject to forfeited performance-based restricted stock units will be available for re-issuance under the Company’s 2019 Plan.

The following table summarizes activities relating to the Company’s stock options:

(in thousands, except per share data and years)	Number of Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Income Taxes

Note 8 – Income Taxes

Income tax expense consists of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024			2023
Current:
U.S. Federal	$	(445	)	$	525
State and local		115			66
Foreign		7,274			3,444
Deferred		(1,847	)		(1,010	)
Total income tax expense	$	5,097		$	3,025

Income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes primarily due to the mix of taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, the impact of tax incentives and tax holidays in foreign locations, state income taxes (net of federal benefit), the U.S. tax under the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions, and the Global Minimum Tax (GMT) as defined under the Pillar Two directives of the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) for those international countries that have adopted the specific requirements of the Pillar Two directives. GILTI requires the Company to include in its U.S federal income tax return foreign subsidiary earnings in excess of an allowable return on the foreign subsidiaries tangible fixed assets. The taxable earnings can be offset by a limited deemed paid foreign tax credit with no carrybacks or carryforwards available. The Company accounts for the GILTI as a period cost and does not include it as a factor in the determination of deferred taxes. The GMT has been adopted by several international countries where the Company conducts its manufacturing operations. The adoption by these countries of the GMT requires that the Company's applicable foreign subsidiaries include in their income tax expense an additional “top-up” tax that achieves a corporate minimum effective tax rate of 15% if the overall adjusted effective tax rate is less than 15%. The Company has included in its income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 an estimated amount of GMT for its foreign subsidiaries as required under the applicable GMT rules of the countries that have adopted the Pillar Two directives.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has a total Transition Tax liability of $36.2 million. The Company intends to pay this liability over the remaining two-year payment period as prescribed by the U.S. Tax Reform and regulatory guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As of March 31, 2024, the Company expects to pay $16.1 million of the remaining liability in 2024 and $20.1 million in 2025. The current portion of the transition tax liability is accrued in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of the transition tax liability is accrued in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $477.2 million in cumulative undistributed foreign earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. These earnings are not subject to U.S. federal income tax if distributed to the Company. The Company changed its assertion during 2018 on its foreign subsidiaries earnings that are permanently reinvested. A certain amount of earnings from specific foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested, and certain foreign earnings from other specific foreign subsidiaries are considered to be non-permanently reinvested and are available for immediate distribution to the Company. Income taxes have been accrued on the non-permanently reinvested foreign earnings, including the 2017 Transition Tax, the U.S. tax on GILTI and any applicable foreign or local withholding taxes. The Company estimates that it has approximately $9.1 million of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities related to any remaining undistributed permanently reinvested foreign earnings that have not already been subject to the 2017 Transition Tax, the U.S. tax on GILTI, and any applicable foreign income tax or local withholding tax on cash distributions.

The Company has been granted certain tax incentives, including tax holidays, for its subsidiaries in Thailand, China and Malaysia that expire at various dates, unless extended or otherwise renegotiated and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. The tax incentives in Thailand will expire on December 31, 2030. The tax incentives in China expired on December 31, 2023 and the tax incentives in Malaysia expired on March 31, 2021. The Company will apply for a continuation of the Malaysia tax holiday, which will extend the tax incentive period for five to ten years if approved. The Company will also apply for a China tax holiday in 2024. There is no guarantee of being awarded these tax incentives in the future. The net impact of these tax incentives was to lower foreign income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 by approximately $0.8 million (approximately $0.02 per diluted share) and $1.9 million (approximately $0.05 per diluted share), respectively.

A summary of the Company's tax incentives follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Thailand	$	804	$	1,759
China		—		182
Total tax incentives	$	804	$	1,941

As of March 31, 2024, the total amount of the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $9.9 million. The reserve is classified as a current or long-term liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the Company’s expectation of when the items will be settled. If the reserve for uncertain tax benefits was recognized, the effect would be $9.9 million. The Company records interest expense and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain income tax benefits as a component of current income tax expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company and its subsidiaries in Brazil, China, Ireland, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Romania, Singapore, Thailand and the United States remain open to examination by the various local taxing authorities, in total or in part, for fiscal years 2017 to 2023. During the course of such income tax examinations, disputes may occur as to matters of fact or law. Also, in most tax jurisdictions, the passage of time without examination will result in the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations thereby precluding examination of the tax period(s) for which such statute of limitation has expired. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for its tax liabilities.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

Note 9 – Revenue

The Company’s revenues are generated primarily from its manufacturing services, which entails the sale of manufactured products built to customer specifications. The Company also generates revenue from design, development and engineering services, in addition to the sale of other inventory.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a manufactured product to a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature. Customers are generally billed when the product is shipped or as services are performed. Under the majority of the Company’s manufacturing contracts with customers, the customer controls all of the work-in-progress as products are being built. Revenues under these contracts are recognized progressively based on the cost-to-cost method. For other manufacturing contracts, the customer does not take control of the product until it is completed. Under these contracts, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of the product to the customer, which is generally when goods are shipped. Revenue from design, development and engineering services is recognized over time as the services are performed. The Company assumes no significant obligations after shipment as it typically warrants workmanship only. Therefore, the warranty provisions are generally not significant.

If the Company records revenue, but does not issue an invoice, a contract asset is recognized. The contract asset is transferred to trade accounts receivable when the entitlement to payment becomes unconditional.

Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, contract assets and advance payments from customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 85.3% and 87.9%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue was recognized as products and services that were transferred over time.

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s right to consideration for work completed but not billed to the customer as of period end. Contract asset balances are transferred to trade accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.

A summary of activity related to the Company’s contract assets follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $189.2 million and $204.9 million, respectively, in advance payments from customers. Of those amounts, $176.2 million and $191.6 million, respectively, were customer deposits and prepayments of inventory and $13.0 million and $13.3 million, respectively, were related to the contractual timing of payments. The advance payments are not considered a significant financing component because they are used to meet working capital demands of a contract, offset inventory risks and protect the Company from the failure of other parties to fulfill obligations under a contract.

Restructuring Charges and Other Costs

Note 12 – Restructuring Charges and Other Costs

The Company has undertaken initiatives to restructure its business operations to improve utilization and realize cost savings. These initiatives have included changing the number and location of production facilities, largely to align capacity and infrastructure with current and anticipated customer demand. This alignment includes transferring programs from higher cost geographies to lower cost geographies. The Company’s restructuring process entails moving production between facilities, reducing staff levels, realigning business processes, reorganizing management and other activities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $3.3 million of restructuring charges, which primarily related to capacity and workforce reductions at its sites in the Americas.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $1.4 million of restructuring charges, which primarily related to the previously announced closures of its sites in Moorpark, California and other smaller activities involving capacity and workforce reductions at other facilities. The operations at the Moorpark, California facility ceased as of March 31, 2023 and the related restructuring activity was substantially completed as of December 31, 2023.

The components of restructuring charges were as follows:

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Note 13 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the incremental shares attributed to outstanding stock equivalents. Stock equivalents include common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and other equity instruments and are computed using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price of a share and the amount of compensation cost, if any, for future service that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares in the current period.

The following table sets forth the calculation of the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Diluted	$	0.38	$	0.35

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no anti-dilutive stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Restricted stock units totaling less than 0.1 million and 0.2 million common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

Note 14 – Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedges. For cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the Company believes that the carrying values of its financial instruments approximate the fair values because of their short-term nature. For borrowings under the Credit Agreement in long-term debt, the Company believes that the fair value approximates the carrying value because the interest rates are variable. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the variability of foreign currency obligations and interest rates. The Company does not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments follows:

		March 31,			December 31,
(in thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	2024			2023
Derivatives designated as    hedging instruments:
Forward currency exchange contracts	Other long-term assets	$	3,950		$	2,664
Interest rate swap agreement	Other long-term liabilities		(93	)		(2,458	)

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company utilizes forward currency exchange contracts to manage its foreign currency exposure. The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts for its operations in Mexico, Europe and Asia. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and the changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet until earnings are affected by the variability of the cash flows. The fair value estimates for the Company’s forward currency exchange contracts are based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which includes obtaining directly or indirectly observable values from third parties active in the relevant markets. Inputs in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts include prevailing forward and spot prices for currencies.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.3 million ($0.9 million net of tax) on its forward currency exchange contracts in other comprehensive income (loss) and transferred unrealized gains of $0.9 million to cost of sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1.7 million ($1.2 million net of tax) on its forward currency exchange contracts in other comprehensive income (loss) and transferred unrealized gains of $0.4 million to cost of sales.

The Company also has forward currency exchange contracts that have not been designated as accounting hedges and, therefore, changes in fair value are recorded in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of income.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

The Company utilizes an interest rate swap agreement to hedge a portion of its interest rate exposure on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives variable rate interest payments based on the one-month SOFR rate and pays fixed rate interest payments. The effect of the swap is to convert a portion of the floating rate interest expense to fixed interest rate expense. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap contract and the underlying borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the interest rate swap was determined to be highly effective, and thus qualifies and has been designated as a cash flow hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The fair value estimates for the Company’s respective interest rate swap agreements were based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, as the Company obtains the valuation from a third party active in relevant markets. The valuation of the interest rate swap agreements is primarily measured through various pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis that incorporate observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves and volatility.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on July 20, 2023 and the fixed interest rate for the contract is 4.039%. As of March 31, 2024, the notional amount of this interest rate swap was $126.3 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $2.4 million ($1.8 million net of tax) on the interest rate swap in other comprehensive

income (loss). The Company’s previous interest rate swap agreement matured on July 20, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $0.1 million ($0.1 million net of tax) on the interest rate swap in other comprehensive income (loss).

Segment And Geographic Information

Note 16 – Segment and Geographic Information

The Company currently has manufacturing facilities in the Americas, Asia and Europe to serve its customers. The Company is operated and managed geographically, and management evaluates performance and allocates the Company’s resources on a geographic basis. Intersegment sales are generally recorded at prices that approximate arm’s length transactions. Operating segments’ measure of profitability is based on income from operations. Corporate and intersegment eliminations include (1) corporate expenses not allocated to the Company’s three reporting segments, which are primarily general and administrative expenses such as corporate employee payroll and benefit costs and corporate facility costs, and (2) income from operations on intersegment sales between reporting segments. Corporate functions include legal, finance, tax, treasury, information technology, risk management, human resources, business development and other administrative functions. The accounting policies for the reportable operating segments are the same as for the Company taken as a whole. The Company has three reportable operating segments: the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

New Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) relating to interim financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary in the opinion of management for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the 2023 10-K).

Use of Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial statements. However, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740) (ASU 2023-09), which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires public entities disclose information about their reportable segments' oversight and significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance and its impact to the financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or will not apply to its operations.
