BELDEN INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Belden Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the Company, us, we, or our). We eliminate all significant affiliate accounts and transactions in consolidation.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented as of any date other than December 31, 2022:
•Are prepared from the books and records without audit, and
•Are prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete statements, but
•Include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data contained in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business Description
We are a leading global supplier of network infrastructure solutions built around two global businesses - Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Automation Solutions. Our mission is to build the foundation for a digital world that makes the digital journey simpler, smarter and secure.
Reporting Periods
Our fiscal year and fiscal fourth quarter both end on December 31. Our fiscal first quarter ends on the Sunday falling closest to 91 days after December 31, which was April 2, 2023, the 92nd day of our fiscal year 2023. Our fiscal second and third quarters each have 91 days. The six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022 included 183 and 184 days, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
As of and during the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash equivalents. We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. We periodically have cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds and other investments. As of July 2, 2023, we had an immaterial amount of cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
-6-

Contingent Liabilities
We have established liabilities for environmental and legal contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable, the amounts of which are currently not material. We accrue environmental remediation costs based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures developed in consultation with our environmental consultants and legal counsel. We are, from time to time, subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. Historically, these lawsuits have primarily involved claims for damages arising out of the use of our products, allegations of patent or trademark infringement, and litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Based on facts currently available, we believe the disposition of the claims that are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.
As of July 2, 2023, we were party to standby letters of credit, surety bonds, and bank guaranties totaling $8.7 million, $4.7 million, and $4.3 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue consistent with the principles as outlined in the following five step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. See Note 2.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the financial statement issuance date for appropriate accounting and disclosure.
Noncontrolling Interest
On April 28, 2023, we sold our 51% ownership interest in Shanghai Hi-Tech Control System Co, Ltd to (Hite) for $0.9 million and recognized a $0.4 million pretax gain on sale. The sale also includes $0.6 million of potential earnout payments. The joint venture developed and provided certain Industrial Automation Solutions products and integrated solutions to customers in China. The joint venture was determined to not have sufficient equity at risk; therefore, it was considered a variable interest entity. As Belden was the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, due to both our ownership percentage and control over the activities of the joint venture, we consolidated the joint venture in our financial statements and presented the results of the joint venture attributable to Hite’s ownership as net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations up to April 28, 2023 when we sold and deconsolidated the entity. The joint venture was not material to our consolidated financial statements during the six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022.
A Belden subsidiary includes a noncontrolling interest as of and for the periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022. The results attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders are not material to our consolidated financial statements, and are presented as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Current Year Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
None of the accounting pronouncements that became effective during 2023 had a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

We generate revenues primarily by selling products that support communication, infrastructure, and delivery solutions that make the digital journey simpler, smarter, and more secure. We also generate revenues from providing support and professional services. We sell our products to distributors, end-users, installers, and directly to original equipment manufacturers. At times, we enter into arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple performance obligations. For these arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognized when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, we determine relative standalone selling price using the prices charged separately to customers on a standalone basis. Most of our performance obligations related to the sale of products are satisfied at a point in time when control of the product is transferred based on the shipping terms of the arrangement. Typically, payments are due after control transfers, which is less than one year from satisfaction of the performance obligation.
The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies due to rebates, returns, and price adjustments. We estimate the expected rebates, returns, and price adjustments based on an analysis of historical experience, anticipated sales demand, and trends in product pricing. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Adjustments to revenue for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods were not significant during the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022.
The following table presents estimated and accrued variable consideration:

|  | July 2, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
|  | (in thousands)
Accrued rebates included in accrued liabilities |  | $ | 42,868 |  |  | $ | 55,559 |
Accrued returns included in accrued liabilities |  | 16,575 |  |  | 11,700 |
Price adjustments recognized against gross accounts receivable |  | 25,457 |  |  | 24,304 |

Depending on the terms of an arrangement, we may defer the recognition of some or all of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future obligation. Consideration allocated to support services under a support and maintenance contract is typically paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the service. Consideration allocated to professional services is typically recognized wh en or as the services are performed depending on the terms of the arrangement. As of July 2, 2023, total deferred revenue was $29.7 million, and of this amount, $22.7 million is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months, and the remaining $7.0 million is long-term and is expected to be recognized over a period greater than twelve months. The following table presents deferred revenue activity during the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively:

We expense sales commissions as incurred when the duration of the related revenue arrangement is one year or less. We capitalize sales commissions when the original duration of the related revenue arrangement is longer than one year, and we amortize it over the related revenue arrangement period. We did not have any capitalized sales commissions on our balance sheet as of July 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The following table presents sales commissions that are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses:

Note 3: Acquisitions
On April 17, 2023, we acquired Berthold Sichert GmbH (Sichert) with cash on hand for $97.5 million, net of cash acquired. Sichert, based in Berlin, Germany, designs and manufactures a portfolio of polycarbonate street cabinets utilized in outside plant passive optical networks (“PON”) and 5G networks. Sichert is reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. The following table summarizes the estimated, preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

Receivables |  | $ | 6,781 |
Inventory |  | 13,061 |
Other current assets |  | 1,840 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 7,057 |
Intangible assets |  | 52,597 |
Goodwill |  | 27,831 |
Other long-lived assets |  | 1,303 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 110,470 |
Accounts payable |  | $ | 2,423 |
Accrued liabilities |  | 1,884 |
Deferred income taxes |  | 8,659 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | $ | 12,966 |
Net assets |  | $ | 97,504 |

The above purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of individual assets and liabilities becomes available. The preliminary measurement of receivables, intangible assets, deferred income taxes, and other assets and liabilities are subject to change. A change in the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.
The preliminary fair value of acquired receivables is $6.8 million, which is equivalent to its gross contractual amount. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments we have used in estimating the preliminary fair values assigned to each class of acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of our operations.
For purposes of the above allocation, we based our preliminary estimate of the fair values for intangible assets on valuation studies performed by a third party valuation firm. We used various valuation methods including discounted cash flows, lost income, excess earnings, and relief from royalty to estimate the preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets (Level 3 valuation). Goodwill and other intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the expansion of broadband & 5G product offerings in end-to-end solutions. Our tax basis in the acquired goodwill is zero.
-10-

The intangible assets related to the acquisition consisted of the following:

|  | Fair Value |  | Amortization Period
|  | (In thousands) |  | (In years)
Intangible assets subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Customer relationships |  | $ | 49,131 |  |  | 15.0
Trademarks |  | 2,456 |  |  | 2.0
Sales backlog |  | 1,010 |  |  | 0.2
Total intangible assets subject to amortization |  | $ | 52,597 |  |  |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Goodwill |  | $ | 27,831 |  |  | n/a
Total intangible assets not subject to amortization |  | $ | 27,831 |  |  |
Total intangible assets |  | $ | 80,428 |  |  |
Weighted average amortization period |  |  |  | 14.1

The amortizable intangible assets reflected in the table above were determined by us to have finite lives. The useful life for the customer relationship intangible asset was based on our forecasts of estimated sales from recurring customers. The useful life for the trademarks was based on the period of time we expect to continue to go to market using the trademarks.
Note 4: Discontinued Operations
On February 22, 2022, we sold Tripwire for gross cash consideration of $350 million. T he divestiture of Tripwire represented a strategic shift impacting our operations and financial results. As a result, the Tripwire disposal group, which was included in our Industrial Automation Solutions segment, is reported within discontinued operations. We recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax of $4.6 million during the six months ended July 3, 2022. The following table summarizes the operating results of the Tripwire disposal group from January 1, 2022 to the February 22, 2022 disposal date (in thousands):

Revenues |  | $ | 12,067 |
Cost of sales |  | (3,256) |
Gross profit |  | 8,811 |
Selling, general and administrative expenses |  | (8,185) |
Research and development expenses |  | (5,528) |
Amortization of intangible assets |  | (638) |
Loss before taxes |  | $ | (5,540) |

During the six months ended July 3, 2022, th e Tripwire disposal group did not have any capital expenditures and recognized share-based compensation expense of $0.2 million. The disposal group did not have any significant non-cash charges for investing activities during the six months ended July 3, 2022.
Note 5: Reportable Segments
We are organized around two global businesses: Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Automation Solutions. Each of the global businesses represents a reportable segment. The key measures of segment profit or loss are Segment Revenues and Segment EBITDA. Segment Revenues represent non-affiliate revenues. Segment EBITDA excludes certain items, including depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; asset impairment; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory to fair value; and other costs. We allocate corporate expenses to the segments for purposes of measuring Segment EBITDA. Corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of each segment’s relative EBITDA prior to the allocation.
Our measure of segment assets does not include cash, goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets, or corporate assets. All goodwill is allocated to reporting units of our segments for purposes of impairment testing. Inter-company revenues between our segments is not material.

Note 6: Income (loss) per Share
The following table presents the basis for the income (loss) per share computations:

For both the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, diluted weighted average shares outstanding excluded outstanding equity awards of 0.2 million as they were anti-dilutive. In addition, for both the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, diluted weighted average shares outstanding did not include outstanding equity a wards of 0.2 million becau se the related performance conditions have not been satisfied.
-13-

For both the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude outstanding equity awards of 1.1 million as they are anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 0.2 million and 0.3 million, respectively, because the related performance conditions have not been satisfied.
For purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are not included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding until all necessary conditions have been satisfied and issuance of the shares underlying the restricted stock units is no longer contingent. Necessary conditions are not satisfied until the vesting date, at which time holders of our restricted stock units receive shares of our common stock.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are included to the extent that they are dilutive. In determining whether unvested restricted stock units are dilutive, each issuance of restricted stock units is considered separately.
Once a restricted stock unit has vested, it is included in the calculation of both basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Note 7: Credit Losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Our expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. Our monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. Provisions and recoveries are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The following table presents the activity in the trade receivables allowance for doubtful accounts for our continuing operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively:

Note 9: Leases
We have operating and finance leases for properties, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office space; as well as vehicles and equipment. We make certain judgments in determining whether a contract contains a lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02. Our leases have remaining lease terms within 1 to 15 years; some of which include extension and termination options. We do not assume renewals in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain as of the commencement date of the lease. We have a few short-term operating leases with terms less than twelve months - these leases are not recorded on our balance sheet and the overall rent expense is not material.
We also have certain lease contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single, combined lease component. T he rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. As a result, we utilize the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments, which is unique to each leased asset, and is based upon the term of the lease, commencement date of the lease, local currency of the leased asset, and the credit rating of the legal entity leasing the asset.
Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees. Our variable lease expense was approximately $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively. Our variable lease expense was approximately $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively.
The components of lease expense were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended |  | Six Months Ended

In addition, we covenanted the lease payments for certain Grass Valley property leases which include expiration dates through 2035, and collectively have approximately $23 million of fixed lease payments remaining. These lease guarantees were retained by Belden and not transferred to the buyer of Grass Valley. During 2022, Grass Valley defaulted on two property leases. As of July 2, 2023, we have a liability for expected, future payments of $8.2 million. The liability is based on certain assumptions, such as receiving a level of sublease income, that we will reassess on an ongoing basis. We will update the estimated liability balance for changes in assumptions as needed.

Asset Held for Sale
During the six months ended July 2, 2023, we entered into an agreement to sell our property in Ontario, Canada as part of a sale and leaseback transaction for $15.6 million. When the asset met the held for sale criteria, we performed a recoverability test and determined that the carrying value of the property to be disposed of is less than the purchase price less cost to sell; thus, the long-lived asset group is recoverable and no impairment exists. The carrying value of the property is not material and is included in property, plant, and equipment in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The sale is expected to close during 2023.
Note 11: Severance, Restructuring, and Acquisition Integration Activities
Acquisition Integration Program
We are integrating our recent acquisitions with our existing businesses to achieve desired cost savings, which are primarily focused on consolidating existing and acquired facilities as well as other support functions. The Enterprise Solutions segment incurred $1.3 million of restructuring and integration costs during the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, and the Industrial Automation Solutions segment incurred $0.1 million and $0.8 million of restructuring and integration co sts during the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively. The Enterprise Solutions segment incurred $1.0 million of restructuring and integration costs during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, and the Industrial Automation Solutions segment incurred $0.1 million and $3.1 million of restructuring and integration costs during the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, respectively.
The restructuring and integration costs incurred during 2023 and 2022 primarily consisted of equipment transfer, costs to consolidate operating and support facilities, retention bonuses, relocation, travel, legal, and other costs. The majority of the restructuring and integration costs related to these actions were paid as incurred or are payable within the next 60 days. Furthermore, t here were no significant severance accrual balances as of July 2, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
The fair value of our senior subordinated notes as of July 2, 2023 was approximately $1,099.5 million based on quoted prices of the debt instruments in inactive markets (Level 2 valuation). This amount represents the fair value of our senior subordinated notes with a carrying value of $1,199.0 million as of July 2, 2023.
Note 13: Net Investment Hedge
All of our euro denominated notes were issued by Belden Inc., a USD functional currency entity. As of July 2, 2023, €567.8 million o f our outstanding foreign denominated debt is designated as a net investment hedge on the foreign currency risk of our net investment in our euro foreign operations. The objective of the hedge is to protect the net investment in the foreign operation against adverse changes in the euro exchange rate. The transaction gain or loss is reported in the translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. For the six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, the transaction gain (loss) associated with the net investment hedge reported in other comprehensive income was $(13.0) million and $53.5 million, respectively. In 2022, we de-designated €200.0 million of our outstanding debt that was previously designated as a net investment hedge. After the de-designation, transaction gains or losses associated with this €200.0 million of debt are reported in income from continuing operations.
Note 14: Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $15.7 million and $30.5 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 18.5% and 18.8%, respectively. The effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the effect of our foreign operations, including statutory tax rates differences and foreign tax credits. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) was signed into law. None of the tax provisions of the Act are expected to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
For the three and six months ended July 3, 2022, we recognized income tax expense of $13.1 million and $22.9 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 18.2% for each period.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Belden Inc. (the Company, us, we, or our) is a leading global supplier of network infrastructure solutions built around 2 global businesses - Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Automation Solutions. Our mission is to build the foundation for a digital world that makes the digital journey simpler, smarter and secure.
Belden is moving beyond connectivity, from what we make to what we make possible through a performance-driven portfolio, forward-thinking expertise and purpose-built solutions. We are aligned with attractive secular growth markets, positioned to provide comprehensive solutions that drive customer outcomes, focused on new product innovation and technology leadership, and committed to sustainable ESG practices. Our current business goals are to:
•Drive organic revenue growth in excess of GDP;
•Deliver incremental Adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 30%;
•Generate free cash flow of approximately $1 billion cumulatively from 2022 through 2025;
•Execute a disciplined capital allocation strategy while maintaining net leverage of approximately 1.5x; and
•Drive Adjusted EPS to at least $8.00 by 2025.
Trends and Events
The following trends and events during 2023 have had varying effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Foreign Currency
Our exposure to currency rate fluctuations primarily relates to exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the euro, Canadian dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese yuan, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, British pound, Indian rupee and Swiss franc. Generally, as the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are negatively impacted as our foreign denominated revenues and earnings are translated into U.S. dollars at a lower rate. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are positively impacted. Approximately 43% of our consolidated revenues during the quarter ended July 2, 2023 were to customers outside of the U.S.
In addition to the translation impact described above, currency rate fluctuations have an economic impact on our financial results. As the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against foreign currencies, it results in a relative price increase or decrease for certain of our products that are priced in U.S. dollars in a foreign location.
Inflation
D uring periods of inflation, if we are unable to raise prices timely and sufficiently to recover our material costs, our earnings could decline. Furthermore, inflation may impact labor, energy, and other costs. We monitor inflation pressures and proactively implement selling price increases or cost control measures as appropriate.
Commodity Prices
Our operating results can be affected by changes in prices of commodities, primarily copper and compounds, which are components in some of the products we sell. Generally, as the costs of inventory purchases increase due to higher commodity prices, we raise selling prices to customers to cover the increase in costs, resulting in higher sales revenue but a lower gross profit percentage. Conversely, a decrease in commodity prices would result in lower sales revenue but a higher gross profit percentage. Selling prices of our products are affected by many factors, including end market demand, capacity utilization, overall economic conditions, and commodity prices. T here is no exact measure of the effect of changing commodity prices, as there are thousands of transactions in any given quarter, each of which has various factors involved in the individual pricing decisions. Therefore, all references to the effect of copper prices or other commodity prices are estimates.
Channel Inventory
Our operating results also can be affected by the levels of Belden products purchased and held as inventory by our channel partners and customers. Our channel partners and customers purchase and hold the products they bought from us in their inventory in order to meet the service and on-time delivery requirements of their customers. Generally, as our channel partners and customers change the level of products they buy from us and hold in their inventory, it impacts our revenues. Comparisons of our results between periods can be impacted by changes in the levels of channel inventory. We use information provided to us by our channel partners and make certain assumptions based on our sales to them to determine the amount of products they bought from us and hold in their inventory. As such, all references to the effect of channel inventory changes are estimates.
-22-

Market Growth and Market Share
The markets in which we operate can generally be characterized as highly competitive and highly fragmented, with many players. We monitor available data regarding market growth, including independent market research reports, publicly available indices, and the financial results of our direct and indirect peer companies, in order to estimate the extent to which our served markets grew or contracted during a particular period. We expect that our unit sales volume will increase or decrease consistently with the market growth rate. Our strategic goal is to utilize our Market Delivery System to target faster growing geographies, applications, and trends within our end markets, in order to achieve growth that is higher than the general market growth rate. To the extent that we exceed the market growth rates, we consider it to be the result of capturing market share.
Sichert Acquisition
On April 17, 2023, we acquired Sichert with cash on hand for $97.5 million, net of cash acquired. Sichert, based in Berlin Germany, designs and manufactures a portfolio of polycarbonate street cabinets utilized in outside plant passive optical networks (“PON”) and 5G networks. Sichert is reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. See Note 3.
Share Repurchase Program
During the three months ended July 2, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $300.0 million under the share repurchase program, and we repurchased 0.4 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $36.2 million at an average price per share of $92.01. See Note 17.
Sale and Deconsolidation of Hite
During the three months ended July 2, 2023, we sold our 51% ownership interest in Shanghai Hi-Tech Control System Co, Ltd to (Hite) for $0.9 million and recognized a $0.4 million pretax gain on sale. The sale also includes $0.6 million of potential earnout payments. The joint venture developed and provided certain Industrial Automation Solutions products and integrated solutions to customers in China. As Belden was the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, due to both our ownership percentage and control over the activities of the joint venture, we consolidated the joint venture in our financial statements and presented the results of the joint venture attributable to Hite’s ownership as net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations up to April 28, 2023 when we sold and deconsolidated the entity. See Note 1.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows that are or would be considered material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
During the six months ended July 2, 2023:
•We did not change any of our existing critical accounting policies from those listed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K;
•No existing accounting policies became critical accounting policies because of an increase in the materiality of associated transactions or changes in the circumstances to which associated judgments and estimates relate; and
•There were no significant changes in the manner in which critical accounting policies were applied or in which related judgments and estimates were developed.

Revenues increased $25.7 million and $57.1 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 due to the following factors:
•Higher sales volume and favorable pricing resulted in a $31.3 million and $72.2 million increase in revenues, respectively.
•Acquisitions, net of divestitures contributed an estimated $7.0 million and $14.9 million in revenues, respectively.
•Copper pass-through pricing had an $11.5 million and $20.1 million unfavorable impact on revenues, respectively.
•Currency translation had a $1.1 million and $9.9 million unfavorable impact on revenues, respectively.
Gross profit increased $39.0 million and $76.3 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 due to the increases in revenues discussed above and favorable product mix. Gross profit margins were robust, expanding 440 and 420 basis points to 37.8% and 38.0% in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 from 33.4% and 33.8% in the comparable periods of 2022, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $21.4 million and $39.9 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to strategic investments to enhance our solution selling capabilities as well as increases from acquisitions.
Research and development expenses increased $5.0 million and $10.9 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 primarily due to increased investments as we further strengthen our product offering and continue our commitment to growth initiatives.
Amortization of intangibles increased $1.9 million and $2.7 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 primarily due to acquisitions.
Operating income increased $10.7 million and $22.7 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 due to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by increases in operating expenses as discussed above.
Net interest expense decreased $2.5 million and $8.7 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 due to the retirement of the 2026 Notes during 2022 and an increase in interest income. See further discussion below.
The $6.4 million loss on debt extinguishment in the six months ended July 3, 2022 represents the premium paid to the bond holders to retire the 2026 Notes and the write-off of the unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2026 Notes. See Note 12.

Income from continuing operations before taxes increased $12.7 million and $36.6 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 primarily due to the increase in operating income and decrease in debt costs as discussed above.

Effective tax rate | 18.5 | % |  | 18.2 | % |  |  |  | 18.8 | % |  | 18.2 | % |  |

For the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, we recognized income tax expense of $15.7 million and $30.5 million, representing an effective tax rate of 18.5% and 18.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the effect of our foreign operations, including statutory tax rates differences and foreign tax credits. See Note 14.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA

Revenues | $ | 692,245 |  |  | $ | 666,551 |  |  | 3.9 | % |  | $ | 1,334,034 |  |  | $ | 1,276,922 |  |  | 4.5 | %
Adjusted EBITDA | 123,179 |  |  | 110,967 |  |  | 11.0 | % |  | 234,630 |  |  | 210,461 |  |  | 11.5 | %
as a percent of revenues | 17.8 | % |  | 16.6 | % |  |  |  | 17.6 | % |  | 16.5 | % |  |

Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.2 million and $24.2 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2022 primarily due to leverage on higher sales volume and favorable product mix, as discussed above. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA margins in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 expanded to 17.8% and 17.6% from 16.6% and 16.5% in the comparable periods of 2022, respectively.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we provide non-GAAP operating results adjusted for certain items, including: asset impairments; accelerated depreciation expense due to plant consolidation activities; acquisition-related expenses, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory to fair value, and transaction costs; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of businesses and assets; amortization of intangible assets; gains (losses) on debt extinguishment; certain gains (losses) from patent settlements; discontinued operations; and other costs. We adjust for the items listed above in all periods presented, unless the impact is clearly immaterial to our financial statements. When we calculate the tax effect of the adjustments, we include all current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the adjusted measure of pre-tax profitability.
We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments and for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. As an example, we adjust for acquisition-related expenses, such as amortization of intangibles and impacts of fair value adjustments because they generally are not related to the acquired business' core operating performance. As an additional example, we exclude the costs of restructuring programs, which can occur from time to time for our current businesses and/or recently acquired businesses. We exclude the costs in calculating adjusted results to allow us and investors to evaluate the performance of the business based upon its expected ongoing operating structure. We believe the adjusted measures, accompanied by the disclosure of the costs of these programs, provides valuable insight.

The increase in revenues in the three months ended July 2, 2023 was primarily due to increases in volume and favorable pricing of $3.5 million and acquisitions of $7.2 million, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation of $1.6 million and lower copper pass-through pricing of $4.0 million. The increase in revenues in the six months ended July 2, 2023 was primarily due to increases in volume and favorable pricing of $12.3 million and acquisitions of $11.2 million, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation of $4.6 million and lower copper pass-through pricing of $6.9 million.
Enterprise Solutions EBITDA increased $2.1 million and $8.5 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 from the comparable periods of 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of the increase in revenues discussed above.

Industrial Automation Solutions revenues increased $20.6 million and $45.1 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2023 from the comparable periods of 2022, respectively. The increase in revenues in the three months ended July 2, 2023 was primarily due to increases in volume and favorable pricing of $27.8 million and favorable currency translation of $0.5 million, partially offset by lower copper pass-through pricing of $7.5 million and divestitures of $0.2 million. The increase in revenues in the six months ended July 2, 2023 was primarily due to increases in volume and favorable pricing of $59.9 million and acquisitions, net of divestitures of $3.7 million, partially offset by unfavorable currency translation of $5.3 million and lower copper pass-through pricing of $13.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Significant factors affecting our cash liquidity include (1) cash from operating activities, (2) disposals of businesses and tangible assets, (3) cash used for acquisitions, restructuring actions, capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, and senior subordinated note repurchases, and (4) our available credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements. We expect our operating activities to generate cash in 2023 and believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund current working capital requirements, capital expenditures, contributions to our retirement plans, share repurchases, senior subordinated note repurchases, quarterly dividend payments, and our short-term operating strategies. However, we may require external financing in the event we complete a significant acquisition. Our ability to continue to fund our future needs from business operations could be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to: economic conditions worldwide, customer demand, competitive market forces, customer acceptance of our product mix, and commodities pricing.
The following table is derived from our Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statements, and for the six months ended July 3, 2022, includes the results of discontinued operations up to the February 22, 2022 disposal date:

| Six Months Ended

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $54.7 million in the six months ended July 2, 2023, compared to a use of cash of $8.6 million in the prior year. Operating cash flows improved $63.3 million compared to the prior year primarily due to a $37.2 million increase in net income and $24.8 million improvement in operating assets and liabilities. Inventories experienced the biggest improvement as we continue to reduce the outstanding backlog.
Net cash from investing activities was a use of cash of $121.0 million in the six months ended July 2, 2023, compared to a source of cash of $205.0 million in the prior year. Investing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2023 included $97.6 million primarily for the acquisition of Sichert and $32.7 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $9.3 million received from the disposals of businesses. Investing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2022 included cash receipts of $338.7 million for the Tripwire disposal, partially offset by payments of $104.1 million for acquisitions and $31.0 million for capital expenditures.
Net cash used for financing activities totaled $105.9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2023, compared to $303.3 million in the prior year. Financing activities for the six months ended July 2, 2023 included payments under our share repurchase program of $86.2 million, payments related to share based compensation activities of $16.9 million, cash dividend payments of $4.3 million, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $1.6 million. Financing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2022 included payments under borrowing arrangements of $230.6 million, payments under our share repurchase program of $66.6 million, payments related to share based compensation activities of $5.2 million, cash dividend payments of $4.5 million, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $3.7 million.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $514.8 million as of July 2, 2023. Of this amount, $219.0 million was held outside of the U.S. in our foreign operations. Substantially all of the foreign cash and cash equivalents are readily convertible into U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for any withholding taxes has been recorded. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to withholding taxes payable to the respective foreign countries.
Our outstanding debt obligations as of July 2, 2023 consisted of $1,199.0 million of senior subordinated notes. Additional discussion regarding our various borrowing arrangements is included in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various legal proceedings and administrative actions that are incidental to our operations. In our opinion, the proceedings and actions in which we are involved should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, or cash flows.

Item 1A: Risk Factors
There have been no material changes with respect to risk factors as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K filed on February 24, 2023. There may be additional risks that impact our business that we currently do not recognize as, or that are not currently, material to our business.
