The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company maintains the majority of its domestic cash in a few commercial banks in multiple operating and investment accounts. Balances on deposit are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to specified limits. Balances in excess of FDIC limits are uninsured. One customer accounted for approximately 10% and 7% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. No one customer accounted for greater than 5%, 4%, and 4%, of net sales during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

The Company's trade and other receivables primarily arise from the sale of its products and services to independent residential dealers, industrial distributors and dealers, national and regional retailers, electrical/HVAC/solar wholesalers, e-commerce partners, equipment rental companies, equipment distributors, EPC companies, telecommunications customers, and certain end users with payment terms generally ranging from 30 to 90 days. The Company evaluates the credit risk of a customer when extending credit based on a combination of various financial and qualitative factors that may affect the customers' ability to pay. These factors include the customer's financial condition, past payment experience, credit bureau information, and regional considerations.

Receivables are recorded at their face value amount less an allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses, which represents an estimate of expected losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables considering current market conditions and estimates for supportable forecasts when appropriate. The Company measures expected credit losses on its trade receivables on an entity-by-entity basis. The estimate of expected credit losses considers a historical loss experience rate that is adjusted for delinquency trends, collection experience, and/or economic risk where appropriate based on current market conditions. Additionally, management develops a specific allowance for trade receivables known to have a high risk of expected future credit loss.

Property and equipment, including internal use software, is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are summarized below (in years). Costs of leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease (including renewal option periods) or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The Company capitalizes internal use software and significant enhancements when the Company obtains a software license or develops the software internally. The Company capitalizes cloud computing arrangements that qualify as service contracts if the Company has the contractual right to take possession of the software at any time during the contract period, without significant penalty and if it is feasible for the Company to either operate the software internally or contract with a third party to host the software on our behalf. Implementation costs incurred in cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts are recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets and operating lease and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the expected service period of the cloud computing arrangements. Finance lease right of use assets are included in property and equipment.

Total depreciation and finance lease amortization expense was $74,025, $62,408, and $52,821 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired from business acquisitions. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if indicators of impairment are present. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31 or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company has the option to assess goodwill for impairment by performing either a qualitative assessment or quantitative test. The qualitative assessment determines whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative test is not required to be performed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company is required to perform the quantitative test. In the quantitative test, the calculated fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its book value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of its book value, the related goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its book value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Other indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of certain tradenames. The Company tests the carrying value of these tradenames annually as of October 31, or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates the carrying value may not be recoverable, by comparing the assets’ fair value to its carrying value. Fair value is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, which assumes the fair value of the tradename is the discounted cash flows of the amount that would be paid had the Company not owned the tradename and instead licensed the tradename from another company.

The Company performed the required annual impairment tests for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for the fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, and found no impairment.

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets (excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived tradenames). Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of an asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset.

Debt discounts and direct costs incurred in connection with the issuance or amendment of long-term debt are deferred and recorded as a reduction of outstanding debt and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the terms of the related credit agreements. $3,242, $3,885, and $3,234 of deferred financing costs and original issue discount were amortized to interest expense during fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Excluding the impact of any future long-term debt issuances or prepayments, estimated amortization to interest expense for the next five years is as follows: 2025 - $2,573; 2026 - $2,544; 2027 - $1,434; 2028 - $437; 2029 - $463.

The Company is a C Corporation and therefore accounts for income taxes pursuant to the liability method. Accordingly, the current or deferred tax consequences of a transaction are measured by applying the provision of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable currently or in future years. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the income tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers taxable income in prior carryback years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies, as appropriate, in making this assessment.

The Company’s revenues primarily consist of the sale of products to its customers. The Company considers the purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to be the contracts with the customers. For each contract, the Company considers the commitment to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of product, which is generally the price stated in the contract specific for each item sold, adjusted for the value of expected returns, discounts, rebates, or other promotional incentives or allowances offered to our customers. Expected returns for damaged or defective product are estimated using the expected value method based on historical product return experience. Discounts and rebates offered to customers are typically defined in the master sales agreements with customers and, therefore, are recorded using the most likely amount method based on the terms of the contract. Promotional incentives are defined programs offered for short, specific periods of time and are estimated using the expected value method based on historical experience. The Company does not expect the transaction price for revenue recognized will be subject to a significant revenue reversal. As the Company’s product sale contracts and standard payment terms have a duration of less than one year, it uses the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not consider the time value of money. Sales, use, value add, and other similar taxes assessed by governmental authorities and collected concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight activities when control of the product has transferred to the customer as an expense within cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Product revenues are recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery to the customer. To determine when control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment and if legal title, physical possession, and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset has transferred to the customer. As a substantial portion of the Company’s product revenues are recognized at a point in time, the amount of unsatisfied performance obligations at each period end is not material. The Company’s contracts have an original expected duration of one year or less. As a result, the Company has elected to use the practical expedient to not disclose its remaining performance obligations.

While the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the specific payment terms and conditions in its customer contracts vary. In some cases, customers prepay for their goods; in other cases, after appropriate credit evaluation, an open credit line is granted and payment is due in arrears after shipment of the product to the customer. Contracts with payment in arrears are recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as accounts receivable upon revenue recognition, while contracts where customers pay in advance are recognized as customer deposits and recorded in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets until revenue is recognized. The balance of customer deposits (contract liabilities) was $26,858 and $19,173 as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $19,173 related to amounts included in the December 31, 2023, customer deposit balance. The Company typically recognizes revenue within one year of the receipt of the customer deposit.

The Company offers standard warranty coverage on substantially all products that it sells and accounts for this standard warranty coverage as an assurance warranty. As such, no transaction price is allocated to the standard warranty, and the Company records a liability for product warranty obligations at the time of sale to a customer based on historical warranty experience. Refer to Note 11, “Product Warranty Obligations,” to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the Company’s standard warranties.

The Company also sells extended warranty coverage for certain products, which it accounts for as service warranties. In most cases, the extended warranty is sold as a separate contract. As such, extended warranty sales are considered a separate performance obligation, and the extended warranty transaction is separate and distinct from the product. The extended warranty transaction price is initially recorded as deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis to net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the life of the contracts, following the standard warranty period. For extended warranty contracts that the Company sells under a third-party marketing agreement, it is required to pay fees to the third-party service provider and classifies these fees as costs to obtain a contract. The contract costs are deferred and recorded as other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred contract costs are amortized as an offset to net sales in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income consistent with how the related deferred revenue is recognized. Refer to Note 11, “Product Warranty Obligations,” to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the Company’s extended warranties.

In addition to extended warranties, the Company offers other services, including remote monitoring, installation, maintenance, data center and telecom facility design and build, and grid services to utilities in certain circumstances. Total service revenues accounted for less than 4%, 4%, and 3% of net sales during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Expenditures for advertising, included in selling and service expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for advertising production costs are expensed when the related advertisement is first run. Expenditures for Co-Op advertising are expensed when claimed by the customer. Total expenditures for advertising were $116,550, $118,303, and $100,589 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Total expenditures incurred for research and development were $219,600, $173,443, and $159,774 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Balance sheet amounts for non-U.S. Dollar functional currency subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the end of the fiscal year. Income and expenses incurred in a foreign currency are translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The related balance sheet translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity, in the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the pronouncement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company believes the carrying amount of its financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, and revolving facility (Revolving Facility) borrowings), excluding Term Loan borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments based on their short-term nature. The fair value of the Tranche A Term Loan Facility borrowing, which has a net carrying value of $710,715, was approximately $705,375 (Level 2) as of December 31, 2024. The fair value of the Tranche B Term Loan Facility borrowing, which has a net carrying value of $495,936, was approximately $501,244 (Level 2) as of December 31, 2024. These Term Loan fair values were calculated based on independent valuations which contain inputs and significant value drivers that are observable.

For the fair value of the assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, excluding the contingent consideration discussed below, refer to the fair value table in Note 5, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swaps and commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified as Level 2. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of these derivative contracts, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of the derivative contracts discussed above considers the Company’s credit risk in accordance with ASC 820-10.

The fair value of the Wallbox stock warrants is classified as Level 3. The fair value of these contracts is measured using a Black Scholes option pricing model, with significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data as well as internal estimates, specifically the time period until exercise. The warrants received in the third quarter of 2024 and fourth quarter of 2023 expire at the earlier of when the price per share equals or exceeds $6.00 or in 2028 and 2029, respectively. The time period until exercise assumption has a significant impact on the fair value of the warrants.

Equity securities consist of shares of Wallbox N.V's (Wallbox) Class A common stock (Wallbox Shares). The Wallbox Shares are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and are recognized at fair value using the closing price of Wallbox common stock quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the last trading day of the quarter. The investment in Wallbox Shares is included in operating lease and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the investment in Wallbox Shares was $19,075 and $17,213 as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Gains and losses attributable to the Wallbox Shares are recognized in other expense, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The loss recognized on the investment in Wallbox Shares was $30,679 for the year ended December 31, 2024. For additional information regarding the Company's investment in Wallbox, see Note 5, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K

Certain of the Company's business combinations involve potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones. As part of purchase accounting, a liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized within general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is typically categorized as a Level 3 liability, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs that are not observable in the market.

The combined fair value of contingent consideration for Chilicon and Ageto as of December 31, 2024, and for Chilicon and Pramac as of December 31, 2023, was $34,114 and $38,937, respectively. The contingent consideration period for Chilicon extends through December 31, 2028, while the contingent consideration period for Pramac extends through December 31, 2025. The contingent consideration for Ageto can be earned in equal increments with one third of the contingent consideration capable of being earned each year as of August 1, 2025, August 1, 2026, and August 1, 2027. The current portion of contingent consideration is reported in other accrued liabilities and the non-current portion is reported in operating lease and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity for contingent consideration:

(1) Represents the change in fair value of the contingent deferred consideration for the Pramac buyout. See Note 4, "Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest", to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2) Represents $5,911 of contingent consideration related to the Ageto acquisition.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company records all derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires derivative instruments to be reported in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company is exposed to market risk such as changes in commodity prices, foreign currencies and interest rates. The Company does not hold or trade derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Share-based compensation expense, including stock options and restricted stock awards, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value of awards which are expected to vest. The fair value of all share-based awards is estimated on the date of grant. Refer to Note 17, “Share Plans,” to the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the Company’s share-based compensation plans and accounting.

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standard updates (ASUs) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance is intended to provide investors more detailed disclosures around specific types of expenses. The new disclosures require additional quantitative and qualitative information for certain expenses contained within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income to be presented in the notes to the financial statements. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The disclosure updates are required to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adopting the updated provisions.

In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures. The rule will require companies to disclose material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions; climate-related risks, governance, and oversight; and the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions. These disclosures will begin to be phased in beginning with the Company's annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025. While this rule has been stayed pending the outcome of legal challenges, the Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in the event the stay is lifted.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU establishes new income tax disclosure requirements in addition to modifying and eliminating certain existing requirements. Under the new guidance, the Company must consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation. It must also further disaggregate income taxes paid. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Entities may apply the new disclosures prospectively or may elect retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new required disclosures, but does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting - Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The update is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The ASU requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The required annual disclosures are reflected in Note 7, "Segment Reporting," to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company will disclose the required quarterly information beginning with the Form 10-Q for the three months ending March 31, 2025.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting pronouncements, or recently adopted accounting guidance during 2024 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
