Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation – Cohu, Inc. (“Cohu”, “we”, “our”, “us” and the “Company”), through our wholly owned subsidiaries, is a provider of semiconductor test equipment and services. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cohu and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. We evaluate the need to consolidate affiliates based on standards set forth in ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”).

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Our fiscal years are based on a 52- or 53-week period ending on the last Saturday in December. Our fiscal years ended on December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, each consisted of 52 weeks. Our fiscal year ended on December 30, 2023 consisted of 53 weeks.

 

Income (Loss) Per Share – Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effect of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of outstanding restricted stock and performance stock units and issuance of stock under our employee stock purchase plan using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the per share computations due to their anti-dilutive effect. For purposes of computing diluted income per share, certain restricted and performance stock units and stock options with exercise prices that exceed the average fair market value of our common stock for the period are excluded. The dilutive effect of the Notes is calculated under the if-converted method. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes are excluded from diluted net loss per common share in any quarter when the weighted average fair market value of our common stock is below the conversion price. For the year to date diluted net loss per common share calculation, the number of incremental common shares is determined by averaging the number of incremental common shares included in each calculation of quarterly diluted net loss per common share. For the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, approximately 474,000, 248,000, and 193,000 shares, respectively, of potentially issuable shares of our common stock were excluded from the computation.

 

The following table reconciles the denominators used in computing basic and diluted income per share:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments – Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Investments with maturities greater than three months are classified as short-term investments. All of our short-term investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded in the statement of comprehensive income (loss). We manage our cash equivalents and short-term investments as a single portfolio of highly marketable securities. We have the ability and intent, if necessary, to liquidate any of our investments in order to meet the liquidity needs of our current operations during the next 12 months. Accordingly, investments with contractual maturities greater than one year have been classified as current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk – Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, short-term investments and trade accounts receivable. We invest in a variety of financial instruments and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure with any one issuer.

 


Our trade accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for credit losses, which is determined in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). Our customers include semiconductor manufacturers and semiconductor test subcontractors throughout many areas of the world. While we believe that our allowance for credit losses is adequate and represents our best estimate at December 27, 2025, we will continue to monitor customer liquidity and other economic conditions, which may result in changes to our estimates regarding expected credit losses.

 

Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or net realizable value. Cost includes labor, material and overhead costs. Determining the net realizable value of inventories involves numerous estimates and judgments including projecting average selling prices and sales volumes for future periods. As a result of these analyses, we record a charge to cost of sales in advance of the period when the inventory is sold, which occurs when estimated market values are below our costs. Charges to cost of sales for excess and obsolete inventories totaled $7.5 million, $5.4 million and $4.5 million in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Inventories by category were as follows (in thousands):

Finished goods

    20,821       21,058  

Total inventories

  $ 129,006     $ 141,861  

 

Property, Plant and Equipment – Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment, both owned and under financing lease, is calculated principally on the straight‑line method based on estimated useful lives of thirty to forty years for buildings, five to fifteen years for building improvements, three to ten years for machinery, equipment and software and the lease life for financing leases. Land is not depreciated.

 

Property, plant and equipment, at cost, consisted of the following (in thousands):

    (88,119 )     (84,655 )

Property, plant and equipment, net

  $ 76,987     $ 74,786  

 

Depreciation expense was $13.2 million in fiscal 2025, $13.4 million in fiscal 2024 and $13.4 million in fiscal 2023.

 

Cloud Computing Implementation Costs – We have capitalized certain costs associated with the implementation of our cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system in accordance with ASC Topic 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Capitalized costs include only external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the system and interest costs incurred, when material, while developing the system.

 

Total unamortized capitalized cloud computing implementation costs totaled $7.0 million and $9.3 million at December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. These amounts are recorded within other current assets and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Implementation costs are amortized using the straight-line method over seven years and we recorded amortization expense totaling $2.8 million in each of the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023.

 

Segment Information – We apply the provisions of ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), which sets forth a management approach to segment reporting and establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products, major customers and the geographies in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the CODM and for which discrete financial information is available. We have determined that our three identified operating segments are: TH, ST and IS. Our TH, ST and IS operating segments qualify for aggregation under ASC 280 due to similarities in their customers, their economic characteristics, and the nature of products and services provided. As a result, we report in one segment, Semiconductor Test & Inspection.

 


Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets – We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, limited to the carrying amount of goodwill.

 

We estimate the fair values of our reporting units using a weighting of the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, we use a discounted cash flow methodology, which requires significant judgment and estimates related to, among other things, forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flows, perpetual growth rates, and long‑term discount rates. The market approach utilizes the guideline public company method, under which valuation multiples derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics are applied to the reporting unit’s operating performance metrics. The indicated values derived from the income and market approaches are equally weighted to determine the estimated fair value of each reporting unit.

 

Forecasts of future cash flows are based on management’s best estimates of future net sales and operating expenses, taking into account customer forecasts, industry trade organization data, and general economic and market conditions. Fair value measurements are inherently subjective and sensitive to changes in assumptions. Adverse changes in forecasted results, discount rates, long‑term growth assumptions, macroeconomic conditions, customer demand, competitive dynamics, or other factors could result in a reduction in the estimated fair value of one or more reporting units.

 

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2025, and determined that the estimated fair values of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. For fiscal 2025, our IS reporting unit had limited headroom, meaning fair value only narrowly exceeded carrying value; as a result, even modest adverse changes in valuation assumptions, operating results, or market conditions could result in a future goodwill impairment charge. By comparison, our TH and ST reporting units each had substantially greater headroom at the assessment date, indicating a significantly larger cushion between fair value and carrying value. Goodwill associated with the IS reporting unit represented 39% of the total goodwill allocated across our reporting units as of the assessment date. Based on our analysis, including all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors, we concluded that no impairment exists as of the assessment date.

 

Additionally, goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment between annual testing dates if indicators of impairment arise. As of December 27, 2025, we determined that no such triggering events had occurred. If circumstances change and an interim impairment assessment is required, it could result in a non‑cash impairment charge, which could be material and would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets, impairment losses are only recorded if the asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted future cash flows. We measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.

 

As of December 27, 2025, no events or conditions occurred suggesting an impairment in our long-lived assets.

 


Product Warranty – Product warranty costs are accrued in the period sales are recognized. Our products are generally sold with standard warranty periods, which differ by product, ranging from 12 to 36 months. Parts and labor are typically covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. Our warranty expense accruals are based on historical and estimated costs by product and configuration. From time to time we offer customers extended warranties beyond the standard warranty period. In those situations, the revenue relating to the extended warranty is deferred at its estimated fair value and recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. Costs associated with our extended warranty contracts are expensed as incurred.

 

Income Taxes – We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting dates. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties have also been recognized and recorded, net of federal and state tax benefits, in income tax expense.

 

We recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established for those jurisdictions when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized in the future.

 

Contingencies and Litigation – We assess the probability of adverse judgments in connection with current and threatened litigation. We would accrue the cost of an adverse judgment if, in our estimation, the adverse outcome is probable, and we can reasonably estimate the ultimate cost.

 

Leases – We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets, current other accrued liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, other current accrued liabilities, and long-term lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at January 1, 2019, the adoption date of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), or the commencement date for leases entered into after the adoption date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rates for the remaining lease terms based on the information available at the adoption date or commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.

 

The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made, lease incentives, favorable and unfavorable lease terms recognized in business acquisitions and excludes initial direct costs incurred and variable lease payments. Variable lease payments include estimated payments that are subject to reconciliations throughout the lease term, increases or decreases in the contractual rent payments, as a result of changes in indices or interest rates and tax payments that are based on prevailing rates. Our lease terms may include renewal options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. In addition, we include purchase option amounts in our calculations when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Rent expense for minimum payments under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term.

 

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet but recognized in our consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component and include both in our calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities.

 

We sublease certain leased assets to third parties, mainly as a result of unused space in our facilities. None of our subleases contain extension options. Variable lease payments in our subleases include tax payments that are based on prevailing rates. We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

 


Revenue Recognition – Our net sales are derived from the sale of products and services and are adjusted for estimated returns and allowances, which historically have been insignificant. We recognize revenue when the obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our systems and non-system products or the completion of services. In circumstances where control is not transferred until destination or acceptance, we defer revenue recognition until such events occur.

 

Revenue for established products that have previously satisfied a customer’s acceptance requirements is generally recognized upon shipment. In cases where a prior history of customer acceptance cannot be demonstrated and in the case of new products, revenue and cost of sales are deferred until customer acceptance has been received. Our post-shipment obligations typically include standard warranties. Service revenue is recognized over time as we transfer control to our customer for the related contract or upon completion of the services if they are short-term in nature. Spares, contactor and kit revenue is generally recognized upon shipment.

 

Certain of our equipment sales have multiple performance obligations that may occur at different points in time or over different periods of time. For arrangements containing multiple performance obligations, the revenue relating to the undelivered performance obligation is deferred using the relative standalone selling price method utilizing estimated sales prices until satisfaction of the deferred performance obligation.

 

Unsatisfied performance obligations primarily represent contracts for products with future delivery dates. At December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we had $5.1 million and $5.6 million of revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) for contracts with original expected durations of over one year, respectively. As allowed under ASC 606, we have opted not to disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with original expected durations of less than one year.

 

We generally sell our equipment with a product warranty. The product warranty provides assurance to customers that delivered products are as specified in the contract (an “assurance-type warranty”). Therefore, we account for such product warranties under ASC Topic 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”), and not as a separate performance obligation.

 

The transaction price reflects our expectations about the consideration we will be entitled to receive from the customer and may include fixed or variable amounts. Fixed consideration primarily includes sales to customers in which the amount of consideration is known as of the end of the reporting period. Variable consideration includes sales in which the amount of consideration that we will receive is unknown as of the end of a reporting period. Such consideration primarily includes sales made to certain customers with cumulative tier volume discounts offered. Variable consideration arrangements are rare; however, when they occur, we estimate variable consideration as the expected value to which we expect to be entitled. Included in the transaction price estimate are amounts in which it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration that does not meet revenue recognition criteria is deferred. 

 

For contracts that are less than one year in duration we have elected to use the practical expedient available in ASC 606 to expense cost to obtain contracts as they are incurred because they would be amortized over less than one year.

 

Accounts receivable represent our unconditional right to receive consideration from our customers. Payment terms do not exceed one year from the invoice date and therefore do not include a significant financing component. To date, there have been no material impairment losses on accounts receivable. There were no material contract assets recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in any of the periods presented.

 

On shipments where sales are not recognized, gross profit is recorded as deferred profit in our consolidated balance sheet representing the difference between the receivable recorded and the inventory shipped. In certain instances where customer payments are received prior to product shipment, the customer’s payments are recorded as customer advances. At December 27, 2025, we had deferred revenue totaling approximately $15.3 million, current deferred profit of $8.6 million and deferred profit expected to be recognized after one year included in noncurrent other accrued liabilities of $3.7 million. At December 28, 2024, we had deferred revenue totaling approximately $8.6 million, current deferred profit of $3.6 million and deferred profit expected to be recognized after one year included in noncurrent other accrued liabilities of $4.3 million.

Advertising Costs – Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were not material for all periods presented.

 

Restructuring Costs – We record restructuring activities including costs for one-time termination benefits in accordance with ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“ASC 420”). The timing of recognition for severance costs accounted for under ASC 420 depends on whether employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits. If employees are required to render service until they are terminated in order to receive the termination benefits, a liability is recognized ratably over the future service period. Otherwise, a liability is recognized when management has committed to a restructuring plan and has communicated those actions to employees. Employee termination benefits covered by existing benefit arrangements are recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 712, Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits. These costs are recognized when management has committed to a restructuring plan and the severance costs are probable and estimable.

 

Debt Issuance Costs – We defer costs related to the issuance of debt. Debt issuance costs directly related to our Term Loan Credit Facility and Convertible Notes are presented within noncurrent liabilities as a reduction of long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of such costs is recognized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the respective debt issue. Amortization related to deferred debt issuance costs and original discount costs was $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 27, 2025, and December 30, 2023, respectively. Amortization related to deferred debt issuance costs and original discount costs was not material for the year ended December 28, 2024.

 

Share-based Compensation – Compensation expense for restricted stock unit (RSU) awards is calculated based on the market price of our common stock on the grant date. As Cohu doesn’t currently pay dividends, no reduction for expected dividends is applied. Compensation expense for performance stock units (PSUs) with market-based goals is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the grant date.

 

Foreign Remeasurement and Currency Translation – Assets and liabilities of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries that use the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency are re-measured using exchange rates in effect at the end of the period, except for nonmonetary assets, such as inventories and property, plant and equipment, which are re-measured using historical exchange rates. Revenues and costs are re-measured using average exchange rates for the period, except for costs related to those balance sheet items that are re-measured using historical exchange rates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred. During the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, in our consolidated statement of operations we recognized foreign exchange losses, net of hedging activity, of $0.8 million, $2.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

 

Certain of our foreign subsidiaries have designated the local currency as their functional currency and, as a result, their assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Cumulative translation adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

 

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts – We operate and sell our products in various global markets. As a result, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To minimize foreign exchange volatility, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts with a financial institution to hedge against future movements in foreign exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The accounting for changes in the fair value of our derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and whether we have elected to designate a derivative as a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting. All derivative instruments are recognized at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and all changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings or in the statement of consolidated stockholders’ equity through accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”).

 


For contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, the hedge contracts must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. Hedge effectiveness is assessed periodically. For accounting purposes, certain of our foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and, accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period in our consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded within foreign transaction gain (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations for both realized and unrealized gains and losses.

 

Additional information related to our foreign exchange derivative contracts is included in Note 8, “Derivative Financial Instruments”.

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss – Our accumulated other comprehensive loss totaled approximately $32.5 million at December 27, 2025, and $51.2 million at December 28, 2024, and was attributed to, net of income taxes where applicable, foreign currency adjustments resulting from the translation of certain accounts into U.S. Dollars, changes in unrealized gains and losses on investments and adjustments to accumulated postretirement benefit obligations. The U.S. Dollar weakened relative to certain foreign currencies in countries where we have operations as of December 27, 2025 and consequently, our accumulated other comprehensive loss attributed to foreign currency translation adjustments decreased by $19.4 million during the year ended December 27, 2025. The U.S. Dollar strengthened relative to certain foreign currencies in countries where we have operations as of December 28, 2024 and consequently, our accumulated other comprehensive loss attributed to foreign currency translation adjustments increased by $16.8 million during the year ended December 28, 2024. Reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive loss during fiscal 2025 and 2024 were not significant. Additional information related to accumulated other comprehensive loss, on an after-tax basis is included in Note 15, “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss”.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the new accounting pronouncement in the current period on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or results of operations, however, it impacted our income tax disclosures in Note 10, “Income Taxes”.

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASC 848). ASC 848 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to certain U.S. GAAP contract modification requirements for contracts affected by reference rate reform as entities transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to alternative reference rates. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 to defer the sunset date of ASC 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the optional expedients in ASC 848.

 

Effective June 16, 2023, we adopted ASC 848. Our Term Loan B Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of October 1, 2018, as amended, is our only contract where interest expense is based on LIBOR. The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, LIBOR’s administrator, has ceased publishing certain LIBOR settings and stopped publishing the Overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month USD LIBOR U.S. dollar settings in fiscal 2023. As a result, we commenced the transition of our LIBOR-based contract to SOFR. The optional expedients under ASC 848 have allowed and will allow us to account for contract modifications as continuations of the existing contract without further reassessments or remeasurements that would otherwise be required under the applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

On February 9, 2024 we made a cash payment of $29.3 million to repay the remaining outstanding principal of our Term Loan Credit Facility.

 


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
