Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended October 28, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending April 27, 2024.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net consisted of the following:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	October 28, 2023		October 29, 2022		October 28, 2023		October 29, 2022

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is computed as net income including certain other items that are recorded directly to stockholders’ equity. Significant items included in comprehensive income are foreign currency translation adjustments and the effective portion of cash flow hedges, net of tax. Foreign currency translation adjustments do not include a provision for income tax because earnings from foreign operations are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. The income tax expense related to cash flow hedges was $81 and $81 for the three months ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022, respectively. The income tax expense related to cash flow hedges was $161 and $161 for the six months ended October 28, 2023 and October 29, 2022, respectively.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS")

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted EPS:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	October 28, 2023	October 29, 2022	October 28, 2023	October 29, 2022
Denominator for basic EPS – weighted average shares	94,710	96,913	95,127	96,771
Effect of dilutive securities – stock options, restricted stock and stock purchase plans	446	639	595	937
Denominator for diluted EPS – weighted average shares	95,156	97,552	95,722	97,708

Potentially dilutive securities representing 1,427 shares and 1,299 shares for the three and six months ended October 28, 2023 and 1,572 shares and 1,166 shares for the three and six months ended October 29, 2022 were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effects were anti-dilutive using the treasury stock method.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are generated from the sale of consumable products, equipment and support, software and support, technical service parts and labor, and other sources. Revenues are recognized when or as performance obligations are satisfied. Performance obligations are satisfied when the customer obtains control of the goods or services.

Consumable, equipment, software and parts sales are recorded upon delivery, except in those circumstances where terms of the sale are FOB shipping point, in which case sales are recorded upon shipment. Technical service labor is recognized as it is provided. Revenue derived from equipment and software support is recognized ratably over the period in which the support is provided.

In addition to revenues generated from the distribution of consumable products under arrangements (buy/sell agreements) where the full market value of the product is recorded as revenue, we earn commissions for services provided under agency agreements. The agency agreement contrasts to a buy/sell agreement in that we do not have control over the transaction, as we do not have the primary responsibility of fulfilling the promise of the good or service and we do not bill or collect from the customer in an agency relationship. Commissions under agency agreements are recorded when the services are provided.

Estimates for returns, damaged goods, rebates, loyalty programs and other revenue allowances are made at the time the revenue is recognized based on the historical experience for such items. The receivables that result from the recognition of revenue are reported net of related allowances. We maintain a valuation allowance based upon the expected collectability of receivables held. Estimates are used to determine the valuation allowance and are based on several factors, including historical collection data, current and forecasted economic trends and credit worthiness of customers. Receivables are written off when we determine the amounts to be uncollectible, typically upon customer bankruptcy or non-response to continuous collection efforts. The portions of receivable amounts that are not expected to be collected during the next twelve months are classified as long-term.

Net sales do not include sales tax as we are considered a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales tax.

Contract Balances

Contract balances represent amounts presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets when either we have transferred goods or services to the customer or the customer has paid consideration to us under the contract. These contract balances include accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities.

Contract asset balances as of October 28, 2023 and April 29, 2023 were $2,321 and $1,338, respectively. Our contract liabilities primarily relate to advance payments from customers, upfront payments for software and support provided over time, and options that provide a material right to customers, such as our customer loyalty programs. At October 28, 2023 and April 29, 2023, contract liabilities of $40,131 and $36,850 were reported in other accrued liabilities, respectively. During the six months ended October 28, 2023, we recognized $20,814 of the amount previously deferred at April 29, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect any of the recently issued accounting pronouncements to materially affect our financial statements.
