BEL FUSE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Bel Fuse Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations, including the interim reporting requirements, of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, except as discussed in “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards” below.

Reclassifications - During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company changed its financial statement presentation related to gain/loss on its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP") investments. These gains/losses were previously included within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expense. A gain on SERP investment in the amount of $0.7 million has been reclassified from cost of sales ($0.2 million) and selling, general and administrative expenses ($0.5 million), to other (expense) income, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020. A gain on SERP investment in the amount of $0.2 million has been reclassified from cost of sales ($0.1 million) and selling, general and administrative expense ($0.1 million), to other (expense) income, net on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

All amounts included in the tables to these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, except per share amounts, are in thousands.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans ("ASU 2018-14"). This guidance removes certain disclosures that are not considered cost beneficial, clarifies certain required disclosures and adds additional disclosures. The Company adopted amendments in ASU 2018-14 on a retrospective basis effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance will modify the Company's annual disclosures for its defined benefit plan, but did not have any impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which modifies ASC 740 to reduce complexity while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. This guidance was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2021 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), as amended. The new guidance will broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimates related to its financial instruments and adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The amendment is currently effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2016-13, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance on contract modifications and hedging accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the FASB’s monitoring of global reference rate activities. The new guidance was effective upon issuance, and the Company is allowed to elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. | ACQUISITIONS

rms Connectors

On January 8, 2021, the Company acquired rms Connectors, Inc. (“rms Connectors” or "rms"), from rms Company Inc., a division of Cretex Companies, Inc., for $9.0 million in cash, including a working capital adjustment. rms Connectors is a highly regarded connector manufacturer with over 30 years of experience producing harsh environment circular connectors used in a variety of military and aerospace applications. This acquisition complements Bel's existing military and aerospace product portfolio and we anticipate will allow us to expand key customer relationships within these end markets and leverage the combined manufacturing resources to improve our operational efficiency. Originally based in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, the rms Connectors business was relocated into Bel's existing facilities during the second quarter of 2021, and is a component of Bel's Connectivity Solutions group. The transaction was funded with cash on hand.

EOS Power

On March 31, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of EOS Power ("EOS") through a stock purchase agreement for $7.8 million, net of cash acquired, including a working capital adjustment. EOS, located in Mumbai, India, had sales of $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. EOS is expected to play a key role in Bel’s penetration of certain industrial and medical markets currently being served by EOS, with a strong line of high-power density and low-profile products with high convection ratings. In addition to new products and customers acquired, this acquisition has diversified Bel's manufacturing footprint in Asia. The EOS business is a component of Bel’s Power Solutions and Protection group. The transaction was funded with cash on hand.

The acquisitions of rms Connectors and EOS may hereafter be referred to collectively as either the "2021 Acquisitions" or the "2021 Acquired Companies". As of the respective acquisition dates, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their preliminary fair values and the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 include the operating results of the 2021 Acquired Companies from their respective acquisition dates through September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs related to the 2021 Acquisitions. No acquisition-related costs were incurred during the third quarter of 2021. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

While the final accounting related to the 2021 Acquisitions is not complete as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following table depicts the Company's preliminary acquisition date fair values of the consideration transferred and identifiable net assets acquired in these transactions:

|  | Acquisition Date Fair Values |

Measurement period adjustments recorded during the second quarter of 2021 on the EOS acquisition related to finalization of EOS' pre-acquisition balance sheet. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company completed its preliminary valuation of EOS whereby $2.0 million of intangible assets were identified and recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date. These intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships valued at $1.8 million (to be amortized over an estimated life of 16 years) and the tradename, valued at $0.2 million (to be amortized over an estimated life of 2 years). The preliminary valuations of the 2021 Acquisitions are still under review and subject to change. The Company expects to finalize these valuations and complete the purchase price allocations as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates.

Based upon the preliminary purchase price allocation above, there is currently no goodwill associated with the rms acquisition. Any goodwill recognized in connection with the EOS acquisition would be allocated to the Company's Power Solutions and Protection segment and would not be deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations of the 2021 Acquired Companies have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods subsequent to their respective acquisition dates. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the 2021 Acquired Companies contributed revenues of $4.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively, and estimated net earnings of $0.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, to the Company since their respective acquisition dates. As EOS was acquired on March 31, 2021, this acquisition did not have any contribution to revenue or net earnings during the first quarter of 2021. The unaudited pro forma information below presents the combined operating results of the Company and the 2021 Acquired Companies assuming that the acquisition of the 2021 Acquired Companies had occurred as of January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes only. They do not reflect the realization of any potential cost savings, or any related integration costs. This unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the 2021 Acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2020, nor is the pro forma data intended to be a projection of results that may be achieved in the future.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assume that the acquisition of the 2021 Acquired Companies was completed as of January 1, 2020:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | September 30, |  |  | September 30, |

The balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

|  | September 30, |  |  | December 31, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Contract assets - current (unbilled receivables) |  | $ | 28,093 |  |  | $ | 14,135 |
Contract liabilities - current (deferred revenue) |  | $ | 1,131 |  |  | $ | 2,077 |

The change in balance of our unbilled receivables from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021 primarily relates to a timing difference between the Company’s performance (i.e. when our product is shipped to a customer-controlled hub) and the point at which the Company can invoice the customer per the terms of the customer contract (i.e. when the customer pulls our product from the customer-controlled hub).

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that have not been satisfied as of September 30, 2021 related to contracts that exceed one year in duration amounted to $28.5 million, with expected contract expiration dates that range from 2022 - 2025. It is expected that 59% of this aggregate amount will be recognized in 2022, 32% will be recognized in 2023 and the remainder will be recognized in years beyond 2023.

5. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date. Entities are required to use a fair value hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

11

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our available-for-sale securities primarily consisted of investments held in a rabbi trust which are intended to fund the Company’s SERP obligations. These securities are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) and amounted to $0.4 million at September 30, 2021 and $0.7 million at December 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts, the fair value of which was less than $0.1 million at September 30, 2021. The Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3, and there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or September 30, 2020. There were no changes to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset fair values on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or September 30, 2020.

There were no financial assets accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

The Company has other financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on interest rates that are currently available for debt issuances with similar terms and maturities. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of total debt was $112.5 million and $118.4 million, respectively, compared to a carrying amount of $112.0 million and $115.6 million, respectively. The Company did not have any other financial liabilities within the scope of the fair value disclosure requirements as of September 30, 2021.

Nonfinancial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, are accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event or in the case of goodwill, on at least an annual basis. The Company considered the impacts of COVID-19 on Bel's business and on general economic conditions when making its assessment on whether a triggering event had occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Based on the Company's assessment, it was concluded that no triggering events occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 or 2020 that would warrant interim impairment testing.

9. | DEBT

At December 31, 2020, the Company had a Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association and the other lenders party thereto dated as of June 19, 2014 and amended and restated as of June 30, 2014 (as amended, the "Prior Credit Agreement" or the "Prior CSA"). The Prior CSA consisted of a term loan, with outstanding borrowings of $104.8 million, and a $75 million revolving credit facility, with $12.0 million in outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2020. The carrying value of the debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2020 is reflected net of $1.3 million of deferred financing costs.

On September 2, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as the borrower, KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as administrative agent, swing line lender and issuing lender, and the other lenders identified therein. The New Credit Agreement amends, restates and supersedes Bel’s Prior Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement provides Bel with a $175 million 5-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolver”), with a sublimit of up to $10 million available for letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $5 million available for swing line loans. The New Revolver replaces and refinances the $75 million revolving credit facility and the $125 million term loan facility that had existed under the Prior Credit Agreement.

Concurrent with its entry into the New Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $115 million under the New Revolver facility, of which approximately $101.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively, was applied to discharge and satisfy in full the remaining obligations outstanding under the former term loan and the previous revolving credit facility that had existed under the Prior Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, the Company is entitled, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to request additional commitments under the New Revolver or the addition of a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million for all such increases (revolver and term) to the extent that existing or new lenders agree to provide such additional commitments and/or term loans. In addition to requesting loans denominated in U.S. dollars, the New Credit Agreement provides that up to a U.S. Dollar equivalent principal amount of $15 million of the New Revolver may be borrowed by Bel in alternate foreign currencies including Euros, Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen and such other currency as requested by Bel and consented to by KeyBank and each lender.

In connection with the effectiveness of the New Credit Agreement, the Company and certain of the Company’s material U.S. subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”) provided to the administrative agent, for the benefit of the lenders, confirmation of the continuing use and effectiveness of each guaranty of payment and each security document executed and delivered by the Loan Parties in connection with the Prior Credit Agreement. As a result, consistent with the Prior Credit Agreement, the obligations of the Company under the New Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Loan Parties’ material U.S. subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Loan Parties, certain material real property of the Loan Parties and certain of the Loan Parties’ material U.S. subsidiaries, including 65% of the voting capital stock of certain of the Loan Parties’ direct foreign subsidiaries.

The borrowings under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest, generally payable quarterly, at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (1) LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 1.125% per annum to 2.125% per annum depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (2)(a) an alternate “Base Rate,” which is the highest of (i) KeyBank’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the LIBOR rate with a maturity of one month plus 1%, plus (b) a margin ranging from 0.125% per annum to 1.125% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. Additionally, the New Credit agreement contains standard provisions and procedures for transition to a benchmark other than the Eurodollar Rate to determine the applicable interest rate (including reference to the secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York), with provisions applying that alternate benchmark where applicable following the replacement of LIBOR. Pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay to KeyBank, as administrative agent for the ratable account of the revolving lenders in consideration for their commitments in respect of the New Revolver, a commitment fee due quarterly in arrears and calculated based on the average unused amount of the facility (exclusive of swing line exposure), at a rate ranging from 0.2% per annum to 0.3% per annum, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Revolving loans borrowed under the New Credit Agreement mature on September 1, 2026, and the commitments with respect to the New Revolver will automatically terminate on such date.

The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. In addition, the New Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that measure (i) the ratio of the Company’s total funded indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, less the aggregate amount of all unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, to the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio”) and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated fixed charges (“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Agreement would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. At September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including its most restrictive covenant, the Leverage Ratio.

The weighted-average interest rate in effect was 1.58% at September 30, 2021 and 2.19% at December 31, 2020 and consisted of LIBOR plus the Company’s credit spread, as determined per the terms of the CSA. The Company incurred $1.5 million and $1.2 million of interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and $3.0 million and $3.8 million of interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included the remaining $0.8 million of deferred financing costs associated with the extinguishment of debt under the Prior Credit Agreement. The Company recorded $0.7 million of deferred financing costs associated with the New Credit Agreement, which are included in other current assets and other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2021 and will be amortized to interest expense over the five year term of the New Credit Agreement.

10. | INCOME TAXES

The Company's estimated taxable income in future periods is not on a legal entity basis and therefore income tax expense for the interim period is not measured using the annual effective tax rate ("AETR") method. The Company is working on developing reliable estimates for future periods. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017 and for state examinations before 2014. Regarding foreign subsidiaries, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2010 in Asia and generally 2012 in Europe.

As a result of the expiration of the statutes of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change materially from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2021. The Company’s liabilities for uncertain tax positions totaled $27.6 million and $28.5 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of which $2.4 million is included in other current liabilities at December 31, 2020 and was resolved during 2021 by way of expiration of the related statutes of limitations. These amounts, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in interest and penalties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during each period. The Company has approximately $4.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively, accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which is included in both income taxes payable and liability for uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

11. | RETIREMENT FUND AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN

The Company maintains the Bel Fuse Inc. Employees’ Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan that is intended to meet the applicable requirements for tax-qualification under sections 401(a) and (k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $0.3 million in both periods. The expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company’s matching contribution is made in the form of Bel Fuse Inc.

Legal Proceedings

On June 23, 2021, a patent infringement lawsuit styled Bel Power Solutions, Inc. v. Monolithic Power Systems, Inc., Case Number 6:21cv00655, was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Waco Division) by Bel Power Solutions, Inc. against Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. for infringement of various patents directed towards systems, methods and articles of manufacture that provide a substantial improvement in power control for circuits, including novel and unique point-of-load regulators. A parallel Complaint asserting the same patents against Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. was also filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in order to safeguard against potential venue challenges. The Company has made a demand for a jury trial in both Complaints.

In connection with the Company's 2014 acquisition of the Power-One Power Solutions business ("Power Solutions") of ABB Ltd., there is an ongoing claim by the Arezzo Revenue Agency in Italy concerning certain tax matters related to what was then Power-One Asia Pacific Electronics Shenzhen Co. Ltd. (now Bel Power Solutions Asia Pacific Electronics Shenzhen Co. Ltd, or “BPS China”) for the years 2004 to 2006. In September 2012, the Tax Court of Arezzo ruled in favor of BPS China and cancelled the claim. In February 2013, the Arezzo Revenue Agency filed an appeal of the Tax Court’s ruling. The hearing of the appeal was held on October 2, 2014. On October 13, 2014, BPS China was informed of the Regional Tax Commission of Florence ruling which was in favor of the Arezzo Revenue Agency and against BPS China. An appeal was filed on July 18, 2015 before the Regional Tax Commission of Florence and rejected. On December 5, 2016, the Arezzo Revenue Agency filed an appeal with the Supreme Court and BPS China filed a counter-appeal on January 4, 2017. The Supreme Court has yet to render its judgment. The estimated liability related to this matter is approximately $12.0 million and has been included as a liability for uncertain tax positions on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As Bel is fully indemnified in this matter per the terms of the stock purchase agreement with ABB, a corresponding other asset for indemnification is also included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Company is not a party to any other legal proceeding, the adverse outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Overview

Our Company

Bel designs, manufactures and markets a broad array of products that power, protect and connect electronic circuits. These products are primarily used in the military, aerospace, networking, telecommunications, computing, transportation and broadcasting industries. Bel’s portfolio of products also finds application in the automotive, medical and consumer electronics markets.

The Company operates through three product group segments, in addition to a Corporate segment. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 40% of the Company’s revenues were derived from Power Solutions and Protection, 31% from Cinch Connectivity Solutions and 29% from its Magnetic Solutions operating segment.

Our operating expenses are driven principally by the cost of labor where the factories that Bel uses are located, the cost of the materials that we use and our ability to effectively and efficiently manage overhead costs. As labor and material costs vary by product line and region, any significant shift in product mix can have an associated impact on our costs of sales. Costs are recorded as incurred for all products manufactured. Such amounts are determined based upon the estimated stage of production and include materials, labor cost and fringes and related allocations of factory overhead. Our products are manufactured at various facilities in the U.S., Mexico, Dominican Republic, England, Czech Republic, Slovakia and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

We have little visibility into the ordering habits of our customers and we can be subjected to large and unpredictable variations in demand for our products. Accordingly, we must continually recruit and train new workers to replace those lost to attrition and be able to address peaks in demand that may occur from time to time. These recruiting and training efforts and related inefficiencies, and overtime required in order to meet any increase in demand, can add volatility to the labor costs incurred by us.

The Effects of COVID-19 on Bel’s Business

In 2021, the Company continued to be focused on the safety and well-being of its associates around the world in light of COVID-19 and the emergence of the Delta variant. A significant amount of products manufactured by Bel are utilized in military, medical and networking applications, and are therefore deemed essential by the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our management team has been able to effectively respond in implementing our business continuity plans around the world. Protective measures are in place throughout our facilities, including employee screenings, physical partitions, social distancing, use of face coverings, travel and visitor restrictions and work from home policies as we continue to service our customers. The majority of our office staff continues to work remotely for part of the week to avoid a large number of associates being present in an office setting at any one time. The combination of protective measures at our factories coupled with remote work arrangements have enabled us to maintain operations, including financial reporting systems, internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.

During the first nine months of 2020, the Company incurred indirect COVID-19 related costs, including operational inefficiencies and employee retention programs at its manufacturing facilities in China, which were offset by $0.9 million and $4.1 million of COVID-19 relief funding received from the Chinese government during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

17

All of our manufacturing sites are operating as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although the majority of our factories in North America, Europe and Asia are currently at 90+% of their normal workforce levels, we are experiencing lower productivity and efficiency rates at certain sites in North America and Europe (estimated at 80-90%, depending on the impacted site) due to a reduced workforce at those sites. In addition, in order to comply with social distancing requirements, certain of our factory floors are reconfigured to provide additional spacing in production lines, which has resulted in some inefficiencies related to product flow. Bel has also experienced higher freight costs for products typically shipped by air due to lower cargo capacity with the reduction in commercial air travel. While there are some delays within the supply chain in the movement of products related to border closures, to date such delays have not materially impacted our ability to operate our business or achieve our business goals. To date, we have not seen a significant reduction in demand for our products due to COVID-19, as many of our products support military, medical and networking applications, which generally have not been negatively impacted by COVID-19. However, approximately 5% of our revenue relates to products utilized in end markets that have been impacted by COVID-19, such as commercial aerospace.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, pandemic-related issues have created additional port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays, resulting in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. In order to better control our costs, the expediting of raw material deliveries has been generally reserved for customer-specific requests for expedited timing whereby our end customer has agreed to pay the incremental fee. Further, the majority of our product is shipped via air, and we have therefore been minimally impacted by ocean-related logistic constraints.

Given the general uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our manufacturing capability and on our customers, we are unable to quantify the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on our future results at this time.

Based on our analysis of ASC 350 and ASC 360 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we are not aware of any potential triggering events for impairment of our goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets or finite-lived assets. The Company will continue to assess the relevant criteria on a quarterly basis based on updated cash flow and market assumptions. Unfavorable changes in cash flow or market assumptions could result in impairment of these assets in future periods.

As our operations have continued, albeit at slightly reduced production and efficiency rates, we have not experienced a negative impact on our liquidity to date. Our balance of cash on hand continues to be strong at $62.0 million at September 30, 2021 as compared to $84.9 million at December 31, 2020, despite the utilization of $16.8 million in cash to fund acquisitions in the first quarter of 2021. The Company also has availability under its current revolving credit facility; as of September 30, 2021, the Company could borrow an additional $43.9 million while still being in compliance with its debt covenants. However, any further negative impact to our financial results related to COVID-19 would have a related negative impact on our financial covenants outlined in our credit agreement, which would impact the amount available to borrow under our revolving credit facility. In order to assist with maintaining our liquidity position, the Company implemented several measures during the first quarter of 2020, including the deferral of employer social security taxes under the federal CARES Act (through December 31, 2020), restrictions on new hires, suspension of salary reviews, the near elimination of non-essential business travel and restrictions on spending related to capital expenditures. Certain of these restrictions were lifted in the second quarter of 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, travel expenses incurred by the Company were $0.2 million lower than the same period of 2020. The management team closely monitors the rapidly changing COVID situation and has developed plans which could be implemented to minimize the impact to the Company in the event the situation deteriorates.

Our statements regarding the future impact of COVID-19 represent Forward-Looking Statements. See “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Other Key Factors Affecting our Business

The Company believes that, in addition to COVID-19, the key factors affecting Bel’s results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and/or future results include the following:

| • | Revenues – The Company’s revenues in the first nine months of 2021 were up $46.7 million, or 13.4%, as compared to the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily seen within our Power Solutions and Protection group from increased demand for our CUI and circuit protection products, and recent power design wins moving into production within the eMobility end market, partially offset by a reduction in modules product sales as we implemented the discontinuation of that product line. The 2021 acquisitions of rms and EOS contributed a combined $12.4 million to Bel's consolidated sales from their respective acquisition dates through September 30, 2021.

| • | Backlog – Our backlog of orders amounted to $390.4 million at September 30, 2021, an increase of $235.4 million, or 152%, from December 31, 2020. Since year-end 2020, we saw a 195% increase in the backlog for our Power Solutions and Protection business due to increased demand across the majority of our power product lines. The backlog of orders for our Magnetic Solutions products grew by 184% from year end, primarily driven by an increase in orders from a large networking customer. Backlog for our Connectivity Solutions products increased by 64% from the 2020 year-end levels, primarily due to higher demand from our distribution customers and a partial recovery in demand from our direct and after-market commercial aerospace customers.

18

| • | Product Mix – Material and labor costs vary by product line and any significant shift in product mix between higher- and lower-margin product lines will have a corresponding impact on the Company’s gross margin percentage. In general, our Connectivity products have the highest contribution margins of our three product groups. Our Power products have a higher cost bill of materials and are impacted to a greater extent by changes in material costs. As our Magnetic Solutions products are more labor intensive, margins on these products are impacted to a greater extent by minimum and market-based wage increases in the PRC and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Fluctuations in revenue volume among our product groups will have a corresponding impact on Bel’s profit margins. See Summary by Operating Segment - Revenue and Gross Margin below for further details.

| • | Pricing and Availability of Materials – There have been recent and ongoing supply constraints related to components that constitute raw materials in our manufacturing processes, particularly with resistors, capacitors, discrete semiconductors, plastic resin and copper. Lead times have been extended and the reduction in supply also caused an increase in prices for certain of these components. As a result, the Company’s material costs as a percentage of revenue increased to 46.6% of sales during the first nine months of 2021 from 43.0% during the same period of 2020.

| • | Labor Costs – Labor costs were 9.0% of revenue during the first nine months of 2021 as compared to 10.0% of revenue during the same period of 2020. A favorable shift in product mix to less labor-intensive product was partially offset by higher labor costs associated with unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations in 2021 and wage increases that went into effect in March 2020 and May 2020 at our PRC factories. There were also wage increases which went into effect at one of our factories in the PRC effective April 1, 2021 which had an impact on labor costs beginning in the second quarter of 2021.

| • | Restructuring – During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company exited its custom modules power product line and consolidated the manufacturing of its DC/DC power line to a single factory. These actions resulted in $0.7 million in restructuring costs being recorded during the first nine months of 2021 with expected annualized cost savings of $0.5 million. The exit of the modules product line also led to the closure of Bel's modules design center in Maidstone, UK in the third quarter of 2021, which is anticipated to result in annualized cost savings of $400,000. During 2020, the Company implemented facility closures in Switzerland, Germany and Hong Kong and other general function consolidations at various sites. In connection with the actions implemented in 2020, annualized cost savings of $4.4 million are expected to be realized in 2021 ($1.1 million in cost of sales, $2.0 million in R&D and $1.3 million in SG&A). The Company will continue to explore opportunities to streamline the organization to further improve profitability.

| • | Impact of Foreign Currency – During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, labor and overhead costs were $1.6 million and $4.4 million higher, respectively, than the same periods of 2020 due to an unfavorable foreign exchange environment as compared to the prior year period. The Company realized foreign exchange transactional gains of $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the and three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, due to the fluctuation of the spot rates of certain currencies in effect when translating our balance sheet accounts at September 30, 2021 versus those in effect at December 31, 2020. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency-denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to the changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results and the revaluation of certain intercompany as well as third-party transactions to and from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact to our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The Company was unfavorably impacted by transactional foreign exchange losses in the first nine months of 2021 due to the appreciation of the Euro, British Pound, Mexican Peso and Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar as compared to exchange rates in effect during 2020. The Company has significant manufacturing operations located in in the PRC where labor and overhead costs are paid in local currency. As a result, the U.S. Dollar equivalent costs of these operations were $1.6 million and $4.4 million higher, respectively, in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020. Throughout 2021, the Company entered into forward contracts to secure a favorable exchange rate related to the Mexican Peso for a portion of Bel's expected Peso obligations for the remainder of the year. The Company monitors changes in foreign currencies and may implement further actions to help mitigate the impact that changes in foreign currencies may have on its consolidated operating results.

| • | Effective Tax Rate – The Company’s effective tax rate will fluctuate based on the geographic jurisdiction in which our pretax profits are earned. Of the geographic jurisdictions in which we operate, the U.S. and Europe’s tax rates are generally equivalent; and Asia has the lowest tax rates of the Company’s three geographical jurisdictions. See Note 10, “Income Taxes”.

With almost $750 million in orders received in the last 12 months, we remain impacted by material shortages and the worldwide logistics situation which we estimate impacted our net sales by approximately $10 million during the third quarter of 2021. While our margins were pressured given the increase in input costs, including labor and materials, we remain optimistic about the future given the various internal initiatives we have in progress. The preceding sentences represent Forward-Looking Statements. See “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Connectivity Solutions:

Sales of our Connectivity Solutions products increased by $1.8 million and $4.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2020. These increases were primarily due to a partial rebound in demand from direct and after-market commercial aerospace customers of $1.4 million and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2020. Sales of Connectivity Solutions products through our distribution channels were also higher by $3.1 million and $5.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2020. These sales increases were offset by a decline in military sales of $5.2 million and $7.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The shift in product mix in addition to higher material and labor costs in the 2021 periods offset the benefits of the higher sales volume on the gross margin line.

Magnetic Solutions:

Sales of our Magnetic Solutions products improved by $8.2 million and $11.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Demand for our Magnetic Solutions products has increased in recent quarters and we saw the heightened orders translate into sales in the second and third quarters of 2021. The labor market in the PRC continues to be competitive, driving wage rates higher. Further, the Chinese Renminbi has appreciated against the U.S. Dollar in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods of 2020, adding to the higher labor burden in the 2021 periods. During the 2020 period, our ability to manufacture product was temporarily impacted due to the factory closures associated with COVID-19. Bel received $0.9 million and $4.1 million in subsidies from the Chinese government during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, to assist in offsetting COVID-related costs incurred, which aided our gross margin for this group in the 2020 periods presented above.

Power Solutions and Protection:

Sales of our Power Solutions and Protection products were higher by $12.5 million during the third quarter of 2021 and by $30.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods of 2020. The sales increase for the third quarter was led by the inclusion of EOS, acquired in March 2021, which contributed sales of $4.3 million, higher CUI sales of $6.3 million (58%), a $2.4 million (52%) increase in fuse sales, and a $2.1 million (117%) increase in sales of product going into the eMobility end market. The sales increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 versus the same period of 2020 was primarily due to growth of $13.3 million from the Bel Power Solutions business (including $5.4 million of higher sales into e-Mobility applications), an $11.6 million increase in CUI sales, $6.1 million of higher fuse sales, and the $7.8 million contribution from the March 2021 acquisition of EOS. Sales growth in both periods presented was offset by declines in custom module sales of $3.2 million and $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2020 as the Company has discontinued this product line. Gross margin improved in the 2021 periods above as compared to the 2020 periods as higher sales volume and a favorable shift in product mix offset the impact of increased material and labor costs.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 consisted of the following:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | September 30, |  |  | September 30, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Material costs |  |  | 47.6 | % |  |  | 42.2 | % |  |  | 46.6 | % |  |  | 43.0 | %
Labor costs |  |  | 8.5 | % |  |  | 10.4 | % |  |  | 9.0 | % |  |  | 10.0 | %
Other expenses |  |  | 19.4 | % |  |  | 20.6 | % |  |  | 20.4 | % |  |  | 21.2 | %
Total cost of sales |  |  | 75.5 | % |  |  | 73.2 | % |  |  | 76.0 | % |  |  | 74.2 | %

The increases in material costs as a percentage of sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily relate to a higher percentage of our revenue relating to Power Solutions and Protection products, which carry a higher material content. Further, there have been industry-wide shortages on certain raw materials, such as semiconductors and plastic resin, which has led to an increase in material pricing from our suppliers. Labor costs as a percentage of sales have also increased from the 2020 periods due to wage rate increases at our PRC factories, and an unfavorable fluctuation in the Chinese Renminbi, Mexican Peso and Euro exchange rate versus the U.S. Dollar.

The other expenses noted in the table above include fixed cost items such as support labor and fringe, depreciation and amortization, and facility costs (rent, utilities, insurance). In total, these other expenses increased during the third quarter of 2021 by $3.5 million and in the first nine months of 2021 by $8.9 million as compared to the same periods of 2020, as costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were reduced by $0.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively, related to subsidies received from the Chinese government to offset costs and inefficiencies incurred due to the temporary closures of our factories in China in connection with COVID-19.

20

Research and Development ("R&D") Expense:

R&D expense amounted to $5.9 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $16.3 million and $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The lower R&D expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020 is largely reflective of cost savings related to the closure of our R&D facility in Uster, Switzerland in the third quarter of 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses were $21.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, up from $19.4 million in the third quarter of 2020. SG&A salaries and fringe benefits increased by $0.7 million, legal and professional fees increased by $0.4 million, and travel expenses were $0.2 million higher as compared to the third quarter of 2020. These costs were partially offset by lower sales commissions of $0.5 million.

SG&A expenses were $64.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, up from $59.1 million during the same period of 2020. SG&A salaries and fringe benefits increased by $3.6 million and legal and professional fees were higher by $1.0 million as compared to the same period of 2020. These costs were partially offset by lower sales commissions of $0.4 million, lower office expenses of $0.3 million and a reduction in travel expenses of $0.2 million.

Provision for (Benefit From) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate will fluctuate based on the geographic jurisdiction in which the pretax profits are earned. Of the geographic jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the U.S. and Europe’s tax rates are generally equivalent; and Asia has the lowest tax rates of the Company’s three geographical segments. See Note 10, “Income Taxes”.

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $1.4 million and ($1.1) million, respectively. The Company’s earnings before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2021, were $0.8 million higher as compared to the same period in 2020. The Company’s effective tax rate was 20.2% and (16.9%) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, is primarily attributable to the tax expense relating to the addition of uncertain tax positions, offset by a decrease in U.S. taxes related to income from foreign subsidiaries taxed in the U.S. as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Additionally, the effective tax rate in 2020 was favorably impacted by the reversal of uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and the federal tax law changes for the CARES Act. See Note 10, “Income Taxes.”

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.6 million and ($1.4) million, respectively. The Company’s earnings before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, were approximately $9.6 million higher than the same period in 2020, primarily attributable to an increase in the income from the North America segment. The Company’s effective tax rate was 3.4% and (18.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, is primarily attributable the same factors noted above. Additionally, the effective tax rate in 2020 was favorably impacted by the reversal of valuation allowances and the federal tax law changes for the CARES Act. See Note 10, “Income Taxes.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of cash are the collection of trade receivables generated from the sales of our products and services to our customers and amounts available under our existing lines of credit, including our credit facility. Our primary uses of cash are payments for operating expenses, investments in working capital, capital expenditures, interest, taxes, dividends, debt obligations and other long-term liabilities. We believe that our current liquidity position and future cash flows from operations will enable us to fund our operations, including all of the items mentioned above in both the next twelve months and in the longer term.

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $44.8 million and $57.5 million, respectively (or 72% and 68%, respectively), of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries of the Company. During the first nine months of 2021, the Company repatriated $23.5 million from outside of the U.S., with minimal incremental tax liability. We continue to analyze our global working capital and cash requirements and the potential tax liabilities attributable to further repatriation, and we have yet to make any further determination regarding repatriation of funds from outside the U.S. to fund the Company’s U.S. operations in the future. In the event these funds were needed for Bel’s U.S. operations, the Company would be required to accrue and pay U.S. state taxes and any applicable foreign withholding taxes to repatriate these funds.

Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable comprised approximately 30.4% of the Company’s total assets at September 30, 2021 and 34.4% of total assets at December 31, 2020. The Company’s current ratio (i.e., the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was 3.0 to 1 at September 30, 2021 and 3.2 to 1 at December 31, 2020.

In September 2021, the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. In addition, the New Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that measure (i) the ratio of the Company’s total funded indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, less the aggregate amount of all unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, to the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio”) and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated fixed charges (“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Agreement would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. At September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including its most restrictive covenant, the Leverage Ratio. The unused credit available under the credit facility at September 30, 2021 was $62.5 million, of which we had the ability to borrow $43.9 million without violating our Leverage Ratio covenant based on the Company's existing consolidated EBITDA.

21

We have been engaged in and recently completed a multi-year process of conforming the majority of our operations onto one global Enterprise Resource Planning system (“ERP”). The ERP is designed to improve the efficiency of our supply chain and financial transaction processes, accurately maintain our books and records, and provide information important to the operation of the business to our management team. The implementation of the ERP was conducted by business unit on a three-phase approach through 2021. Since inception of the project, we have incurred costs in a cumulative amount of $7.0 million in connection with this implementation, of which less than $0.1 million of costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and no costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The first phase of the ERP implementation project was completed in the first quarter of 2019 with our Bel Power Solutions subsidiary going live on the new system effective January 1, 2019. The second phase of the project was completed in the first quarter of 2020 with Bel's TRP Connector subsidiary going live on the new system effective January 1, 2020. An additional phase of the project was completed in the first quarter of 2021 with a portion of Bel's legacy businesses going live on the new system effective January 1, 2021 and the final phase of the project was completed in July 2021 with the Company's Stewart Connector subsidiary going live on the new system effective July 1, 2021. To date, we've achieved annual cost savings on ERP licensing fees of approximately $2 million within SG&A expense which were largely realized starting in 2019. This overall project was completed during the third quarter of 2021, with no consulting costs anticipated going forward. The preceding sentence represents a Forward-Looking Statement. See "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

Cash Flows

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $23.0 million. This decrease was primarily due to the following:

| • | payments for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $16.8 million;
| • | purchases of property, plant and equipment of $4.2 million;

| • | dividend payments of $2.4 million;

| • | repayments of long-term debt of $104.8 million; and
| • | net cash used in operating activities of $1.7 million; partially offset by
| • | proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $7.2 million; and
| • | revolving credit line borrowings of $100.5 million

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, accounts receivable increased by $11.9 million due to the increase in sales during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 54 days at September 30, 2021 as compared to 57 days at December 31, 2020. Inventory increased by $22.8 million at September 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020, largely in raw materials to accommodate the recent increase in product orders. Inventory turns, excluding R&D, increased slightly to3.5 at September 30, 2021 from 3.4 at December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of Bel’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, investments, warranties, SERP expense, income taxes and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The discussion of new financial accounting standards applicable to the Company is incorporated herein by reference to Note 1 to the Company’s Financial Statements, “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies,” included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates associated with its long-term debt. During the first nine months of 2021, the U.S. Dollar depreciated against certain of the other currencies in which the Company pays its expenses. In comparing average exchange rates during the first nine months of 2021 versus those during the same period of 2020, the British Pound appreciated by 8%, the Euro appreciated by 6%, the Chinese Renminbi appreciated by 7%, and the Mexican Peso appreciated by 7% against the U.S. Dollar as compared to the prior year period. The Company estimates that the appreciation of these foreign currencies led to higher operating costs of $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2021 and $4.4 million during the first nine months of 2021 as compared to the same periods of 2020, as the majority of the Company's expenses in the PRC and Mexico are paid in local currency. Foreign exchange gains were also recognized in the first nine months of 2021 of $0.4 million on translation of local currency balance sheet accounts to the U.S. Dollar in consolidation, resulting from foreign currency fluctuations since December 31, 2020. Throughout 2021, the Company entered into forward contracts to secure a favorable exchange rate related to the Mexican Peso for a portion of Bel's expected Peso obligations. The Company monitors changes in foreign currencies and may implement further pricing actions to help mitigate the impact that changes in foreign currencies may have on its consolidated operating results.

Borrowings under the Company's credit facility are at variable rates of interest and expose Bel to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, the Company's debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and the Company's net earnings and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, would correspondingly decrease. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $112.5 million of borrowings under its credit facility at a variable interest rate. A 1% increase or decrease in the assumed interest rates on the senior secured credit facilities would result in a $1.1 million increase or decrease in annual interest expense.

Refer to Item 7A, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for further discussion of market risks.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures: As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting: There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information called for by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, under “Legal Proceedings”, as set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are also involved in various other legal actions incidental to our business. We believe, after consulting with counsel, that the disposition of these other legal proceedings and matters will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factor described below, in addition to those described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 should be carefully considered before making an investment decision. These are the risk factors that we consider to be the most significant risk factors, but they are not the only risk factors that should be considered in making an investment decision. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains Forward-Looking Statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See the "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information," above. Our business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of the risk factors described, under "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information" or with respect to specific Forward-Looking Statements presented herein. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and investors in our securities may lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business in the future. Except as required by the federal securities law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

A shortage of availability or an increase in the cost of high-quality raw materials, components and other resources may adversely impact our ability to procure these items at cost effective prices and thus may negatively impact profit margins.

Our results of operations may be materially adversely impacted by difficulties in obtaining raw materials, supplies, power, labor, natural resources and any other items needed for the production of our products, as well as by the effects of quality deviations in raw materials and the effects of significant fluctuations in the prices of existing inventories and purchase commitments for these materials. Many of these materials and components are produced by a limited number of suppliers and their availability to us may be constrained by supplier capacity. Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, pandemic-related issues have created additional port congestion and intermittent supplier shutdowns and delays, resulting in additional expenses to expedite delivery of critical parts. Further, a large percentage of Bel's manufacturing capacity and supplier base is located in the PRC where there have been recent power shortages, resulting in the PRC government rationing electricity in a number of provinces during peak production hours. While we have not seen a material impact related to these items as of the time of this filing, any prolonged shutdown of a supplier's factory, or power outages at our factories, or those of our suppliers, could cause significant disruption to our supply chain and/or Bel's ability to manufacture its product. Any material disruption could materially adversely affect our financial results. See "The Effects of COVID-19 on Bel's Business" and "Other Key Factors Affecting our Business" in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of how pricing and availability of materials is currently impacting our business.
