NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of business

Methode Electronics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Methode”) is a leading global supplier of custom engineered solutions with sales, engineering and manufacturing locations in North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. The Company designs, engineers and produces mechatronic products for Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) utilizing its broad range of technologies for user interface, light-emitting diode (“LED”) lighting system, power distribution and sensor applications.

The Company’s solutions are found in the end markets of transportation (including automotive, commercial vehicle, e-bike, aerospace, bus and rail), cloud computing infrastructure, construction equipment and consumer appliance.

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise disclosed) that management believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023, filed with the SEC on June 27, 2023. Results may vary from quarter to quarter for reasons other than seasonality.

Financial reporting periods

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to April 30. The three months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023 were both 13-week periods and the nine months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023 were both 39-week periods.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. As a result, actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured at the acquisition date in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. Prior to the issuance of this ASU, contract assets and liabilities were recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures and is only applicable to future business acquisitions.

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 will become effective for the Company's annual reports beginning in fiscal 2025, and interim period reports beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU will result in increased disclosures for the Company's segments.

Table of Contents

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”. ASU No. 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income tax paid. ASU No. 2023-09 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and will be applied on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its income tax disclosures.

There have been no other newly issued or newly applicable accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, at January 27, 2024, there are no other pronouncements pending adoption that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies in the nine months ended January 27, 2024.

Note 2. Revenue

The Company generates revenue from manufacturing products for customers in diversified global markets. The substantial majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time. The Company has determined that the most definitive demonstration that control has transferred to a customer is physical shipment or delivery, depending on the contractual shipping terms, except for consignment transactions. Consignment transactions are arrangements where the Company transfers product to a customer location but retains ownership and control of such product until it is used by the customer. Revenue for consignment arrangements is recognized upon the customer’s usage.

Revenue associated with products which the Company believes have no alternative use (such as highly customized parts), and where the Company has an enforceable right to payment, are recognized on an over time basis. Revenue is recognized based on progress to date, which is typically even over the production process through transfer of control to the customer.

From time to time, customers may negotiate annual price downs. Management has evaluated these price downs and determined that in some instances, these price downs give rise to a material right. In instances that a material right exists, a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the material right and recognized over the life of the contract.

Across all products, the amount of revenue recognized corresponds to the related purchase order and is adjusted for variable consideration (such as discounts) and ongoing price adjustments. Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

The Company’s performance obligations are typically short-term in nature. As a result, the Company has elected the practical expedient that provides an exemption from the disclosure requirements regarding information about remaining performance obligations on contracts that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Contract balances

A contract asset is an entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer. A contract liability exists when an entity has received consideration, or the amount is due from the customer in advance of revenue recognition. The net changes in the contract asset and contract liability balances for the nine months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023 were not material.

Disaggregated revenue information

The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by segment and geographical location. Net sales are attributed to regions based on the location of production. Though revenue recognition patterns and contracts are generally consistent, the amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows may vary in each reportable segment due to geographic and economic factors.

Note 3. Acquisition and Disposition

Acquisition

On April 20, 2023, the Company acquired 92.2% of the outstanding shares in Nordic Lights Group Corporation (“Nordic Lights”), a premium provider of high-quality lighting solutions for heavy duty equipment headquartered in Finland, for €121.8 million ($134.2 million) in cash. Between May 2023 and July 2023, the Company acquired an additional 7.2% of the outstanding shares of Nordic Lights for €9.2 million ($10.1 million), increasing the Company’s ownership to 99.4%. On October 10, 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 0.6% of the outstanding shares in Nordic Lights for €0.8 million ($0.8 million), as determined by the Finnish arbitral tribunal administering the redemption proceedings for the shares not tendered to the Company. Accordingly, the Company owned 100% of the outstanding shares in Nordic Lights as of October 10, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights complements the Company’s existing LED lighting solution offerings.

The acquisition was funded through a combination of borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The results of the operations of Nordic Lights are reported within the Industrial segment from the date of acquisition. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. The Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price in the three months ended January 27, 2024.

The following table summarizes the fair value and subsequent measurement period adjustments of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including a reconciliation to the total purchase price. Measurement period adjustments recognized in the period resulted from the receipt of incremental data utilized in the determination of fair value, including valuation assumptions.

Deferred tax liabilities |  |  | (13.4 | ) |  |  | (6.1 | ) |  |  | (19.5 | )
Total identifiable net assets acquired |  |  | 75.9 |  |  |  | 24.3 |  |  |  | 100.2 |
Goodwill |  |  | 69.6 |  |  |  | (24.3 | ) |  |  | 45.3 |
Total fair value of net assets acquired |  |  | 145.5 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 145.5 |

Total purchase price |  | $ | 134.2 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 134.2 |

The noncontrolling interest was recognized at fair value, which was determined to be the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of the fair value of net assets acquired, as of the acquisition date. The noncontrolling interest was classified as a redeemable noncontrolling interest on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as minority shareholders owning less than 10% of the outstanding shares in a company in Finland had the right to require the Company to redeem their shares. As noted above, in October 2023, the Company acquired the entire redeemable noncontrolling interest.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition was included in the Industrial segment and was attributable to potential synergies and an assembled workforce. Goodwill from this acquisition will no t be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table presents details of the intangible assets acquired:

|  | Fair value ($m) |  |  | Weighted average useful life (Years) |
Customer relationships |  | $ | 77.3 |  |  |  | 20.0 |
Trade Name |  |  | 11.5 |  |  |  | 10.0 |
Technology |  |  | 6.5 |  |  |  | 10.0 |
Total |  | $ | 95.3 |  |  |  |

Table of Contents

The intangible assets were valued using the income approach. The Company uses the relief-from-royalty method to value the trade name and technology, and it uses the multi-period excess earnings method to value customer relationships. The fair value measurement of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. These valuation methods incorporate assumptions including expected discounted future net cash flows resulting from either the future estimated after-tax royalty payments avoided as a result of owning the trade name or technology, or the future earnings related to existing customer relationships.

The pro-forma effects of this acquisition would not materially impact the Company’s operating results for the nine months ended January 28, 2023, and as a result no pro-forma financial statements are presented. In the nine months ended January 27, 2024, additional acquisition costs of $0.5 million were incurred and reported in selling and administrative expenses.

Disposition

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company made the decision to initiate the discontinuation of the Dabir business in the Medical segment. On October 13, 2023, the Company sold certain assets and contracts of its Dabir business to a third party for consideration of $1.5 million. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded a loss on the sale, including transaction costs, of $0.6 million, which was included in other income, net on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations. The discontinuation of the Dabir business does not qualify as a discontinued operation as it does not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results.

Note 4. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for an interim period is based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to ordinary year-to-date earnings or losses. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is determined excluding the effects of unusual or significant one-time items that are reported net of the related tax effects in the period in which they occur. In addition, any material effects of enacted tax law or rate changes as well as the Company’s ability to utilize various tax assets is recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the estimated annual effective income tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected pre-tax income (or loss) for the year by jurisdiction, certain book to tax adjustments, and the likelihood of the realizability of deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The estimates used to compute the provision or benefit for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the Company’s tax environment changes.

The Company’s income tax expense and effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023 were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
($ in millions) |  | January 27, 2024 |  |  | January 28, 2023 |  |  | January 27, 2024 |  |  | January 28, 2023 |
Pre-tax (loss) income |  | $ | (10.5 | ) |  | $ | 23.0 |  |  | $ | (65.0 | ) |  | $ | 82.3 |
Income tax expense |  |  | 1.1 |  |  |  | 3.1 |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 13.3 |
Effective tax rate |  |  | (10.5 | )% |  |  | 13.5 | % |  |  | (1.5 | )% |  |  | 16.2 | %

The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 27, 2024 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of income derived from foreign operations with lower statutory tax rates and research deductions claimed in foreign jurisdictions, offset by global intangible low-tax income. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 27, 2024 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to an impairment of goodwill which is non-deductible for tax purposes, income derived from foreign operations with lower statutory tax rates and research deductions claimed in foreign jurisdictions, offset by global intangible low-tax income. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended January 28, 2023 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to income derived from foreign operations with lower statutory tax rates and research deductions claimed in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

The Company’s gross unrecognized income tax benefits were $4.6 million and $4.5 million as of January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, respectively. If any portion of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits is recognized, it would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed periodically and adjusted for changing facts and circumstances, such as tax audits, the lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations and changes in tax law. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax uncertainties in income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties were $0.4 million and $0.2 million as of January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, respectively.

Note 5. Balance Sheet Components

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less. Highly liquid investments include money market funds which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. As of January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, the Company had a balance of $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in money market accounts.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms and are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the current expected credit loss impairment model. The Company applies a historical loss rate based on historic write-offs to aging categories. The historical loss rate is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future losses as necessary. The Company may also record a specific reserve for individual accounts when it becomes aware of specific customer circumstances, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $1.4 million and $1.3 million at January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Finished products and work-in-process inventories include direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs. The Company records reserves for inventory that may be obsolete or in excess of current and future market demand. A summary of inventories is shown below:

(in millions) |  | January 27, 2024 |  |  | April 29, 2023 |

Property, plant and equipment, net |  | $ | 232.5 |  |  | $ | 220.3 |

Depreciation expense was $8.8 million and $7.6 million in the three months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023, respectively. Depreciation expense was $25.3 million and $22.7 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023, respectively. As of January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, capital expenditures recorded in accounts payable totaled $2.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Pre-production tooling costs related to long-term supply arrangements

The Company incurs pre-production tooling costs related to products produced for its customers under long-term supply arrangements. Engineering, testing and other costs incurred in the design and development of production parts are expensed as incurred, unless the costs are reimbursable by the customer. As of January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, the Company had $47.8 million and $36.1 million, respectively, of pre-production tooling costs related to customer-owned tools for which reimbursement is contractually guaranteed by the customer or for which the customer has provided a non-cancelable right to use the tooling.

Costs for molds, dies and other tools used in products produced for its customers under long-term supply arrangements for which the Company has title are capitalized in property, plant and equipment and amortized over the shorter of the life of the arrangement or the estimated useful life of the assets. As of January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, Company-owned tooling was $15.0 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. A summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, is shown below:

(in millions) |  | Automotive |  |  | Industrial |  |  | Total |
Balance as of April 29, 2023 |  | $ | 106.2 |  |  | $ | 195.7 |  |  | $ | 301.9 |
Acquisition (Note 3) |  |  | — |  |  |  | (24.3 | ) |  |  | (24.3 | )
Impairment |  |  | (56.5 | ) |  |  | — |  |  |  | (56.5 | )
Foreign currency translation |  |  | (0.3 | ) |  |  | (0.4 | ) |  |  | (0.7 | )
Balance as of January 27, 2024 |  | $ | 49.4 |  |  | $ | 171.0 |  |  | $ | 220.4 |

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of the beginning of the fourth quarter each fiscal year. In addition, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions used in determining fair value and therefore require interim goodwill impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions.

October 28, 2023 Interim Assessment

During the three months ended October 28, 2023, the Company identified an impairment triggering event associated with a sustained decrease in the Company’s publicly quoted share price, market capitalization and lower than expected operating results. These factors suggested that the fair value of one or more of the Company's reporting units may have fallen below their carrying amounts. The Company quantitatively assessed its reporting units which have performed substantially below the forecast used in its last quantitative impairment test. The reporting units that were quantitatively assessed were North American Automotive ("NAA") and European Automotive ("EA").

Based upon the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined the carrying value of the NAA and EA reporting units exceeded their fair value at October 28, 2023. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $56.5 million ($50.4 million for NAA and $6.1 million for EA) in the three months ended October 28, 2023, which was determined as the excess carrying value over fair value of the respective reporting unit up to the carrying value of the goodwill immediately prior to the impairment.

January 27, 2024 Interim Assessment

During the three months ended January 27, 2024, there was a further decline in the Company's publicly quoted share price and market capitalization. In addition, operating results for NAA were lower than expected. As a result, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred requiring a quantitative impairment test for NAA. The quantitative impairment test utilized the Company’s most recent cash flow projections for NAA which reflected current market conditions as well as timing for new product launches. Based upon the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of NAA exceeded its carrying value by less than 10% and thus there was no impairment to goodwill. If all other assumptions are held constant, a hypothetical increase of more than 100 basis points in the discount rate could have resulted in goodwill impairment for the NAA reporting unit. Due to the limited headroom, the Company will continue to monitor NAA for any significant changes to its assumptions regarding future performance, or for any adverse changes to macroeconomic conditions, or for a further reduction in the Company's market capitalization, or any changes to other assumptions that could result in impairment losses in the future, which could be significant.

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in performing the interim goodwill impairment assessments. The fair value of the NAA and EA reporting units were estimated using a combination of the income approach and market approach, weighted accordingly for the specific circumstances of the reporting unit. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow method and the market approach uses appropriate valuation multiples observed for the reporting unit’s guideline public companies. The determination of discounted cash flows are based on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins, taking into consideration business and market conditions for the countries and markets in which the reporting unit operates. The Company calculates the discount rate based on a market-participant, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital, which considers industry specific rates of return on debt and equity capital for a target industry capital structure, adjusted for risks associated with business size, geography and other factors specific to the reporting unit. Long-range forecasting involves uncertainty which increases with each successive period. Revenue growth rates and profitability assumptions, especially in the outer years, involve a greater degree of uncertainty.

Note 7. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to various market risks including, but not limited to, foreign currency exchange rates and market interest rates. The Company strives to control its exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

For a designated cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized, the gain or loss previously included in AOCI is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. The gain or loss associated with changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded immediately in the condensed consolidated statements of income on the same line as the associated risk. For a designated net investment hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment in AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net investment hedges

The Company is exposed to the risk that adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates could impact its net investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries. To manage this risk, the Company designates certain qualifying derivative and non-derivative instruments, including cross-currency swaps and foreign currency-denominated debt, as net investment hedges of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries.

The Company had a variable-rate, cross-currency swap, with a notional value of $60.0 million (€54.8 million), that matured on August 31, 2023 with a gain of approximately $0.6 million. The cross-currency swap was designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in its euro-denominated subsidiaries. The gain will remain in AOCI until the hedged net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a fixed-rate, cross-currency swap, maturing on December 25, 2024, with a notional value of $60.0 million (€54.8 million). The cross-currency swap is designated as a hedge of the Company's net investment in a euro-based subsidiary. The Company entered into the cross-currency swap to mitigate changes in net assets due to changes in U.S. dollar-euro spot exchange rate.

Hedge effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly thereafter, under the spot-to-spot method. The Company recognizes the impact of all other changes in fair value of the derivative, which represents the interest rate differential of the cross-currency swap, through interest expense. For the three months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023, the Company recorded gains of zero and $0.4 million, respectively, in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the nine months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023, the Company recorded gains of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company has also designated its euro-denominated long-term borrowings of $298.6 million under the Credit Agreement as a hedge of the Company's investment in its euro-denominated subsidiaries. The objective of the designation is to protect the net investment in the foreign operation against adverse changes in the euro exchange rate. The change in the value of the euro-denominated long-term borrowings, which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates, is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment in AOCI, net of tax. For the three months ended January 27, 2024, the transaction loss associated with this net investment hedge reported in AOCI was $5.9 million. For the nine months ended January 27, 2024, the transaction gain associated with this net investment hedge reported in AOCI was $1.4 million.

Interest rate swaps

The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to limit its exposure to market fluctuations on its variable-rate borrowings. The interest rate swaps effectively convert a portion of the Company's variable rate borrowings to a fixed rate based upon a determined notional amount. The Company has an interest rate swap, maturing on October 31, 2027, with a notional value of $145.5 million (€132.0 million) and had two interest rate swaps that matured on August 31, 2023, with a notional value of $100.0 million. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.

Hedge effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedging relationship and quarterly thereafter. The effective portion of the periodic changes in fair value is recognized in AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequently, the accumulated gains and losses recorded in AOCI are reclassified to income in the period during which the hedged cash flow impacts earnings, which are expected to be immaterial over the next 12 months. No ineffectiveness was recognized in the three or nine months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023.

Derivatives not designated as hedges

The Company uses short-term foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the earnings impact that exchange rate fluctuations have on non-functional currency balance sheet exposures. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Gains and losses on these forward contracts are recognized in other income, net, along with the foreign currency gains and losses on monetary assets and liabilities, in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

As of January 27, 2024 and April 29, 2023, the Company held foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of $84.7 million and $59.9 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended January 27, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $0.6 million and a loss of $2.1 million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three and nine months ended January 28, 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $1.6 million and a loss of $1.2 million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Revolving credit facility/term loan

On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and the Lenders and other parties named therein. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated September 12, 2018 and as previously amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and L/C Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as L/C Issuer, and the Lenders and other parties named therein. Among other things, the Credit Agreement (i) increased the multicurrency revolving credit commitments under the Prior Credit Agreement to $750,000,000, (ii) refinanced in full and terminated the term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement, and (iii) made certain other changes to the covenants, terms, and conditions under the Prior Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement permits the Company to increase the revolving commitments and/or add one or more tranches of term loans under the Credit Agreement from time to time by up to an amount equal to (i) $250,000,000 plus (ii) an additional amount so long as the leverage ratio would not exceed 3.00:1.00 on a pro forma basis, subject to, among other things, the receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders. The Credit Agreement matures on October 31, 2027.

As of January 27, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the original consolidated leverage ratio covenant contained in the Credit Agreement for the quarter ended January 27, 2024. On March 6, 2024, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, the other Lenders party thereto and other parties thereto. Among other things, the Amendment (i) amended the consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024 and each subsequent fiscal quarter through the quarter ending October 26, 2024, (ii) amended certain interest rate provisions and (iii) waived any default or event of default that may have occurred due to the non-compliance with the consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024 that was in effect prior to the Amendment. Following the effectiveness of the Amendment, the Company was in compliance with its consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024.

Loans denominated in US dollars under the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, bear interest at either (a) an adjusted base rate or (b) an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate or term SOFR daily floating rate (in each case, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment) in each case plus an applicable rate (the “Applicable Rate”) ranging between 0.375% and 1.75%, in the case of adjusted base rate loans, and between 1.375% and 2.75%, in the case of adjusted term SOFR rate loans and term SOFR daily floating rate loans. Loans denominated in euros will bear interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus an Applicable Rate ranging between 1.375% and 2.75%. The Applicable Rate is set based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

As of January 27, 2024, the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility included $298.6 million (€275.0 million) of euro-denominated borrowings. The Company has designated the euro-denominated borrowings as a net investment hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its investments in euro-denominated subsidiaries. Refer to Note 7, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for further information.

The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding US dollar and euro-denominated borrowings under the Credit Agreement was approximately 7.4% and 5.9%, respectively, as of January 27, 2024. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, contains customary representations and warranties, financial covenants, restrictive covenants and events of default. As of January 27, 2024, after giving effect to the Amendment, including the changes it made to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants in the Credit Agreement.

Although the Company currently anticipates, based on its current projections and analyses, that it will be in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, no assurance can be given that the Company will be and remain in compliance with such covenants in the future. Factors that could increase the Company’s risk of future non-compliance include those identified in Part I – Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023.

Other debt

One of the Company’s European subsidiaries has debt that consists of one note with a maturity in 2031. The weighted-average interest rate on this debt was approximately 1.8% at January 27, 2024 and $0.2 million of the debt was classified as short-term.

Stock-based compensation

The Company has granted stock options, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), performance units (“PUs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock awards to employees and non-employee directors under the Methode Electronics, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”), the Methode Electronics, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), the Methode Electronics, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan (“2010 Plan”), and the Methode Electronics, Inc. 2004 Stock Plan (“2004 Plan”). The Company’s stockholders approved the 2022 Plan on September 14, 2022. The Company can no longer make grants under the 2014 Plan, 2010 Plan and 2004 Plan.

Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2022 Plan and the 2022 Plan’s share counting provisions, the number of shares of the Company's common stock that will be available for all awards under the 2022 Plan is 5,550,000, less one share for every one share of common stock subject to an option or SAR award granted after April 30, 2022 under the 2014 Plan and 2.28 shares for every one share that was subject to an award other than an option or SAR granted after April 30, 2022 under the 2014 Plan. As of January 27, 2024, there were 4,936,672 shares available for award under the 2022 Plan.

Restricted stock awards and performance units

As of January 27, 2024, the Company had 789,674 RSAs outstanding which may be earned based on the achievement of an earnings before net interest, taxes, fixed asset depreciation and intangible asset amortization (“EBITDA”) measure for fiscal 2025. The RSAs will vest ranging from 0% (for performance below threshold) to 100% (target performance) based on the achievement of the EBITDA performance measure and continued employment. In addition, if the target performance is exceeded, up to an additional 394,837 PUs can be earned that will be settled in cash. At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the PUs may be settled in shares of common stock.

The fair value of the RSAs was based on the closing stock price on the date of grant and the RSAs earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the RSAs do not vest. Compensation expense for the RSAs is recognized when it is probable the minimum threshold performance criteria will be achieved. Compensation expense for the PUs is recognized when it is probable that the target performance criteria will be exceeded. The Company assesses the probability of vesting at each balance sheet date and adjusts compensation costs based on the probability assessment. The cash-settled PUs represent a non-equity unit with a conversion value equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. The PUs are classified as liability awards due to the cash settlement feature and are re-measured at each balance sheet date. In accordance with ASC 718, based on projections of the Company’s current business portfolio, no compensation expense has been recognized for the RSAs or PUs to date, as the performance conditions are not probable of being met. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense at target level of performance is $22.8 million as of January 27, 2024, which, subject to the performance conditions being met, will be recognized through fiscal 2025. The following table summarizes RSA activity:

|  | Restricted stock awards |  |  | Weighted average grant date fair value |
Non-vested at April 29, 2023 |  |  | 933,674 |  |  | $ | 28.73 |
Awarded |  |  | — |  |  | $ | — |
Vested |  |  | — |  |  | $ | — |
Forfeited |  |  | (144,000 | ) |  | $ | 28.28 |
Non-vested at January 27, 2024 |  |  | 789,674 |  |  | $ | 28.81 |

Restricted stock units

RSUs granted vest over a pre-determined period of time, up to five years from the date of grant. The fair value of the RSUs granted are based on the closing stock price on the date of grant and earn dividend equivalents during the vesting periods, which are forfeitable if the RSUs don’t vest. The following table summarizes RSU activity:

|  | Restricted stock units |  |  | Weighted average grant date fair value |
Non-vested at April 29, 2023 |  |  | 770,667 |  |  | $ | 30.47 |
Awarded |  |  | 211,050 |  |  | $ | 22.86 |
Vested |  |  | (1,271 | ) |  | $ | 40.84 |
Forfeited |  |  | (182,772 | ) |  | $ | 29.65 |
Non-vested at January 27, 2024 |  |  | 797,674 |  |  | $ | 28.63 |

Under the various stock plans, common stock underlying vested RSUs held by certain executives will not be delivered until termination of employment or a change of control of the Company. As of January 27, 2024, common stock to be delivered to these executives totaled 511,733 shares.

Director awards

The Company grants stock awards to its non-employee directors as a component of their compensation. The stock awards vest immediately upon grant. Non-employee directors may elect to defer receipt of their shares under the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The following table summarizes awards granted to non-employee directors:

|  | Non-employee director awards |  |  | Deferred non-employee director awards |  |  | Total |  |  | Weighted average grant date fair value |
Outstanding at April 29, 2023 |  |  | — |  |  |  | 45,750 |  |  |  | 45,750 |  |  | $ | 40.56 |
Awarded |  |  | 16,804 |  |  |  | 30,694 |  |  |  | 47,498 |  |  | $ | 33.09 |
Issued |  |  | (16,804 | ) |  |  | — |  |  |  | (16,804 | ) |  | $ | 33.32 |
Outstanding at January 27, 2024 |  |  | — |  |  |  | 76,444 |  |  |  | 76,444 |  |  | $ | 37.62 |

Stock options

The following table summarizes stock option activity:

|  | Stock options |  |  | Weighted average exercise price |  |  | Weighted- average life (years) |  |  | Aggregate intrinsic value (in millions) |
Outstanding and exercisable at April 29, 2023 |  |  | 20,000 |  |  | $ | 37.01 |  |  |  | 1.2 |  |  | $ | 0.1 |
Exercised |  |  | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited |  |  | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding and exercisable at January 27, 2024 |  |  | 20,000 |  |  | $ | 37.01 |  |  |  | 0.4 |  |  | $ | 0.0 |

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on that date.

Stock-based compensation expense

All stock-based awards to employees and non-employee directors are recognized in selling and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income. Awards subject to graded vesting are recognized using the accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period. The table below summarizes the stock-based compensation expense related to the equity awards:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
(in millions) |  | January 27, 2024 |  |  | January 28, 2023 |  |  | January 27, 2024 |  |  | January 28, 2023 |
RSUs |  | $ | (2.1 | ) |  | $ | 2.7 |  |  | $ | 0.2 |  |  | $ | 7.8 |
Deferred non-employee director awards |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.0 |
Non-employee director awards |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 0.6 |  |  |  | 0.6 |
Total stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | (2.1 | ) |  | $ | 2.7 |  |  | $ | 1.8 |  |  | $ | 9.4 |

The net reversal in stock-based compensation expense for RSUs in the three months ended January 27, 2024 was due to forfeitures of $3.6 million accounted for during the period.

Note 10. (Loss) Income per Share

Basic (loss) income per share attributable to Methode is calculated by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Methode by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period, but excludes any contingently issued shares where the contingency has not been resolved. The weighted average number of common shares used in the diluted (loss) income per share calculation is determined using the treasury stock method which includes the effect of all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted (loss) income per share attributable to Methode:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |

Basic |  | $ | (0.33 | ) |  | $ | 0.56 |  |  | $ | (1.86 | ) |  | $ | 1.91 |
Diluted |  | $ | (0.33 | ) |  | $ | 0.54 |  |  | $ | (1.86 | ) |  | $ | 1.87 |
Number of anti-dilutive potentially issuable shares excluded from diluted common shares outstanding |  |  | 1,319,577 |  |  |  | 949,674 |  |  |  | 1,463,996 |  |  |  | 939,573 |

In the three and nine months ended January 27, 2024, all potential common shares issuable for stock options and RSUs were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, as the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of potential common shares issuable for stock options and RSUs on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would have been approximately 503,000 and 560,000 common shares for the three and nine months ended January 27, 2024, respectively.

Note 11. Segment Information

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company has four reporting segments as described below.

The Automotive segment supplies electronic and electro-mechanical devices and related products to automobile OEMs, either directly or through their tiered suppliers. Products include integrated center consoles, hidden switches, ergonomic switches, transmission lead-frames, LED-based lighting and sensors, which incorporate magneto-elastic sensing and other technologies that monitor the operation or status of a component or system.

The Industrial segment manufactures external lighting solutions, industrial safety radio remote controls, braided flexible cables, current-carrying laminated busbars and devices, custom power-product assemblies, such as our PowerRail® solution, high-current low-voltage flexible power cabling systems and powder-coated busbars that are used in various markets and applications, including aerospace, computers, industrial, power conversion, military, telecommunications and transportation.

The Interface segment provides a variety of copper and fiber-optic interface and interface solutions for the appliance, commercial food service, construction, consumer, material handling, point-of-sale and telecommunications markets. Solutions include copper transceivers and solid-state field-effect consumer touch panels.

The Medical segment is made up of the Company’s medical device business, Dabir Surfaces, with its surface support technology aimed at pressure injury prevention. Methode developed the technology for use by patients who are immobilized or otherwise at risk for pressure injuries, including patients undergoing long-duration surgical procedures. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company made the decision to initiate the discontinuation of Dabir Surfaces. In October 2023, the Company sold certain assets of its Dabir Surfaces business. See Note 3, "Acquisition and Disposition" for more information.

Note 12. Contingencies

Certain litigation arising in the normal course of business is pending against us. The Company is, from time-to-time, subject to various legal actions and claims incidental to our business, including those arising out of alleged defects, breach of contracts, employment-related matters, environmental matters and intellectual property matters. The Company considers insurance coverage and third-party indemnification when determining required accruals for pending litigation and claims. Although the outcome of potential legal actions and claims cannot be determined, it is the Company's opinion, based on the information available, that it has adequate reserves for these liabilities.

Hetronic Germany-GmbH Matters

For several years, Hetronic Germany-GmbH and Hydronic-Steuersysteme-GmbH (the “Fuchs companies”) served as our distributors for Germany, Austria and other central and eastern European countries pursuant to their respective intellectual property licenses and distribution and assembly agreements. The Company became aware that the Fuchs companies and their managing director, Albert Fuchs, had materially violated those agreements. As a result, the Company terminated all of its agreements with the Fuchs companies. On June 20, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit against the Fuchs companies in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma alleging material breaches of the distribution and assembly agreements and seeking damages, as well as various forms of injunctive relief. The defendants filed counterclaims alleging breach of contract, interference with business relations and business slander. On April 2, 2015, the Company amended its complaint against the Fuchs companies to add additional unfair competition and Lanham Act claims and to add additional affiliated parties.

A trial with respect to the matter began in February 2020. During the trial, the defendants dismissed their one remaining counterclaim with prejudice. On March 2, 2020, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company. The verdict included approximately $102 million in compensatory damages and $11 million in punitive damages. On April 22, 2020, the District Court entered a permanent injunction barring defendants from selling infringing products and ordering them to return Hetronic’s confidential information. Defendants appealed entry of the permanent injunction. On May 29, 2020, the District Court held defendants in contempt for violating the permanent injunction and entered the final judgment. Defendants appealed entry of the final monetary judgment as well. The appeal of the permanent injunction and the appeal of the final judgment were consolidated into a single appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On August 24, 2021, the Tenth Circuit issued a decision affirming the lower court’s ruling with the exception that it instructed the District Court to modify the injunction from the entire world to all of the countries in which Hetronic sells its products. On April 20 and 21, 2022, the District Court held a hearing related to modifying the injunction pursuant to the Tenth Circuit’s opinion, and the parties have filed post-hearing briefs. The defendants also filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court seeking to further appeal the extraterritorial application of the Lanham Act in this case. The Company opposed that petition. The Supreme Court requested the views of the Solicitor General on the petition for certiorari, and the Solicitor General recommended granting the petition. On November 4, 2022, the Supreme Court granted the petition. The Supreme Court heard arguments in this matter on March 21, 2023. On June 29, 2023, the Supreme Court vacated the Tenth Circuit’s August 2021 decision and remanded the matter back to the Tenth Circuit for further proceedings. On September 1, 2023, the Tenth Circuit requested supplemental briefing from the parties regarding the effect of the Supreme Court’s decision on the appeal and the proper course of further proceedings. That briefing was thereafter submitted, and the Tenth Circuit heard argument in this matter on January 24, 2024.

Like any judgment, particularly a judgment involving defendants outside of the United States, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to collect all or any portion of the judgment. Furthermore, defendants Abitron Germany and Hetronic Germany filed for insolvency in German court in September and October 2023 respectively, and the Germany insolvency court then appointed a receiver. These insolvency proceedings could potentially adversely impact our ability to enforce or collect upon the judgment or portions of the judgment or otherwise pursue or enforce claims or rights against those defendants.

Note 13. Restructuring

The Company continually monitors market factors and industry trends and takes restructuring actions to reduce overall costs and improve operational profitability as appropriate. Restructuring actions generally result in charges for employee termination benefits, plant closures, asset impairments and contract termination costs.

As noted above, the Company made the decision to initiate the discontinuation of the Dabir business in the Medical segment. The Company recognized $0.5 million of severance costs in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, in selling and administrative expenses. In addition, in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, the Company recognized fixed asset impairment charges of $0.6 million in cost of products sold related to this restructuring action. Restructuring costs in the Automotive and Industrial segments primarily represent severance costs and asset impairments. In the nine months ended January 28, 2023, restructuring costs primarily related to an impairment of an operating lease right-of-use asset.

Employee termination benefits are accrued upon the commitment to a termination plan and when the benefit arrangement is communicated to affected employees, or when liabilities are determined to be probable and estimable. Asset impairment charges relate to the impairment of right-of-use lease assets and equipment. Components of restructuring costs were as follows:

|  | $ | 0.1 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1.4 |  |  | $ | 0.6 |

The Company's restructuring liability was zero as of January 27, 2024. Estimates of restructuring costs are based on information available at the time such charges are recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in estimating restructuring costs, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded. Accordingly, the Company may record revisions of previous estimates by adjusting previously established accruals.

Note 14. Subsequent Events

On January 29, 2024, Avinash Avula joined the Company as its President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Donald W. Duda, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer will remain as employee of the Company through April 30, 2024, after which he will retire but continue to serve as a strategic consultant for a period of nine months. Mr. Duda resigned as a member of the Board of Directors on January 29, 2024.

Additional details and factors are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us.

Overview

We are a leading global supplier of custom engineered solutions with sales, engineering and manufacturing locations in North America, Europe, Middle East and Asia. We design, engineer and produce mechatronic products for Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) utilizing our broad range of technologies for user interface, light-emitting diode (“LED”) lighting system, power distribution and sensor applications.

Our solutions are found in the end markets of transportation (including automotive, commercial vehicle, e-bike, aerospace, bus and rail), cloud computing infrastructure, construction equipment and consumer appliance. Our business is managed on a segment basis, with those segments being Automotive, Industrial, Interface and Medical.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we made the decision to initiate the discontinuation of the Dabir business in the Medical segment. In October 2023, we sold certain assets of the Dabir business, and no longer operate this business. For further information, see Note 3, “Acquisition and Disposition” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Impacts of Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Conditions

Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to inflation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, wage and commodity inflation, currency fluctuations and new or increased tariffs, could adversely affect demand for our products. We continue to monitor the Russia-Ukraine war and the associated sanctions and other restrictions. We also are monitoring the Israel-Hamas war. Although we have no operations in Russia, Ukraine or Israel, certain of our customers and suppliers have been negatively impacted by these events, which in turn has impacted markets where we do business, including EMEA and Asia. The economic sanctions imposed on Russia have further increased existing global supply chain, logistics, and inflationary challenges. The full impact of the conflicts on our business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflicts and their impact on regional and global economic conditions. We will continue to monitor the conflicts and assess the related restrictions and other effects on our employees, customers, and business.

Global Supply Chain Disruptions

Due to various factors that are beyond our control, there continue to be global supply chain disruptions, including a worldwide semiconductor supply shortage. In addition, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, business interruptions, including customer shutdowns and increased material and logistics costs and labor shortages. The semiconductor supply shortage is due, in part, to increased demand across multiple industries, including the automotive industry, resulting in a slowdown in their production schedules. The semiconductor supply shortage is also impacting our supply chain and our ability to meet demand at some of our non-automotive customers. We expect this semiconductor shortage to have a continued impact on our operating results and financial condition in fiscal 2024.

Acquisition of Nordic Lights

We acquired 92.2% of the outstanding shares of Nordic Lights on April 20, 2023. We acquired the remaining 7.8% of the outstanding shares of Nordic Lights in the nine months ended January 27, 2024. Accordingly, as of January 27, 2024, we own 100% of Nordic Lights. The results of operations of Nordic Lights are reported within the Industrial segment. For further information, see Note 3, “Acquisition and Disposition” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes in the Automotive segment, partially offset by the acquisition of Nordic Lights, which contributed $21.2 million of net sales to the Industrial segment, and favorable foreign currency translation of $1.5 million. Net sales included customer cost recoveries from spot buys of materials and premium freight costs of $0.6 million in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $1.4 million in the three months ended January 28, 2023. Excluding the impact of Nordic Lights, foreign currency translation and customer cost recoveries, net sales decreased $42.5 million, or 15.2%, mainly due to the roll-off of a major automotive center console program in North America in the Automotive segment.

Net sales decreased $41.2 million, or 4.7%, to $837.2 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $878.4 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes in the Automotive segment, partially offset by the acquisition of Nordic Lights, which contributed $63.3 million of net sales to the Industrial segment, and favorable foreign currency translation of $5.5 million. Net sales included customer cost recoveries from spot buys of materials and premium freight costs of $1.9 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $18.3 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. Excluding the impact of Nordic Lights, foreign currency translation and customer cost recoveries, net sales decreased $93.6 million, or 10.9%, mainly due to the roll-off of a major automotive center console program in North America in the Automotive segment.

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold increased $7.3 million, or 3.4%, to $222.5 million (85.7% of net sales) in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $215.2 million (76.8% of net sales) in the three months ended January 28, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation accounted for $15.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of the increase. Excluding Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, cost of products sold decreased $9.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower material costs as a result of a decrease in sales volumes, partially offset by higher salary and operating expenses.

Cost of products sold increased $16.3 million, or 2.4%, to $693.9 million (82.9% of net sales) in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $677.6 million (77.1% of net sales) in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation accounted for $46.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of the increase. Excluding Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, cost of products sold decreased $34.2 million.

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin was 14.3% of net sales in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to 23.2% of net sales in the three months ended January 28, 2023. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily a result of lower sales and higher costs in the Automotive segment related to operational inefficiencies and upcoming product launches.

Gross profit margin was 17.1% of net sales in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to 22.9% of net sales in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily a result of lower sales and operational inefficiencies in the Automotive segment. The operational inefficiencies were caused mainly by labor and vendor issues which led to planning deficiencies, inventory shortages, unrecoverable spot purchases and premium freight, and delayed shipments.

Selling and administrative expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 3.0%, to $33.9 million (13.1% of net sales) in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $32.9 million (11.7% of net sales) in the three months ended January 28, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation accounted for $2.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of the increase. Excluding Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by higher professional fees, incentive compensation and salary expense. Stock-based compensation expense was lower due to a $3.6 million reversal of expense due to forfeitures in the period.

Selling and administrative expenses increased $14.5 million, or 13.8%, to $119.3 million (14.2% of net sales) in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $104.8 million (11.9% of net sales) in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation accounted for $7.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of the increase. Excluding Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, selling and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million. The increase was primarily due to higher professional fees, outbound freight expense and salary expense, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense was lower due to a $3.6 million reversal of expense due to forfeitures in the three months ended January 27, 2024.

Goodwill impairment

In the nine months ended January 27, 2024, we recognized a goodwill impairment of $56.5 million in the Automotive segment. For further information, see Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Amortization of intangibles was $18.0 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $14.1 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The increase in both periods was due to the recognition of amortization expense associated with the acquisition of Nordic Lights.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was $5.0 million in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $0.8 million in the three months ended January 28, 2023. Interest expense, net was $12.2 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $1.3 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The increase in both periods was due to a higher level of borrowings and increased interest rates.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 27, 2024 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of income derived from foreign operations with lower statutory tax rates and research deductions claimed in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by global intangible low-tax income. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 27, 2024 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of an impairment of goodwill which is non-deductible for tax purposes, income derived from foreign operations with lower statutory tax rates and research deductions claimed in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by global intangible low-tax income. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended January 28, 2023 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to income derived from foreign operations with lower statutory tax rates and research deductions claimed in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

Net (loss) income

Net loss was $11.6 million in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to net income of $19.9 million in the three months ended January 28, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights contributed $0.9 million of net income and the impact of foreign currency translation increased net income by $0.3 million. Excluding Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, net income decreased $32.7 million as a result of the reasons described above.

Automotive segment loss from operations was $11.0 million in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to income of $18.7 million in the three months ended January 28, 2023. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, income from operations decreased $29.9 million.

Automotive segment loss from operations was $75.3 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to income of $56.8 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. Loss from operations in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, includes goodwill impairment of $56.5 million. Excluding goodwill impairment and the impact of foreign currency translation, income from operations decreased $75.2 million.

The decrease in both periods was primarily due to lower gross profit and higher selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses increased due to higher salary and incentive compensation expense, and outbound freight expense, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation expense.

The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Nordic Lights, which contributed $21.2 million of net sales, and favorable foreign currency translation of $0.4 million. Excluding the impact of Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, net sales decreased $5.5 million, or 6.1%, primarily due to lower demand for power distribution products in the electric vehicle and data center markets.

Industrial segment net sales increased $56.0 million, or 19.5%, to $342.9 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $286.9 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Nordic Lights, which contributed $63.3 million of net sales, and favorable foreign currency translation of $2.2 million, partially offset by lower customer cost recoveries from spot buys of materials and premium freight costs of $3.5 million. Excluding the impact of Nordic Lights, foreign currency translation and customer cost recoveries, net sales decreased $6.0 million, or 2.1%, primarily due to lower demand for power distribution products in the electric vehicle and data center markets, partially offset by higher sales volumes of commercial vehicle lighting solutions products.

Gross profit

Industrial segment gross profit decreased $0.4 million, or 1.3%, to $30.3 million in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $30.7 million in the three months ended January 28, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights and favorable foreign currency translation accounted for $5.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of gross profit. Excluding the impact of Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, gross profit decreased $5.9 million. Gross profit margins decreased to 28.3% in the three months ended January 27, 2024, compared to 33.7% in the three months ended January 28, 2023. Gross profit margins were impacted by product mix and higher operating expenses.

The increase was due to the acquisition of Nordic Lights, which contributed $16.7 million of gross profit, and $0.6 million of favorable foreign currency translation. Excluding the impact of Nordic Lights and foreign currency translation, gross profit decreased $7.9 million. Gross profit margins decreased to 30.3% in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to 32.9% in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. Gross profit margins were impacted by lower sales volumes of commercial vehicle lighting solutions products and higher operating expenses.

The acquisition of Nordic Lights accounted for $1.6 million of income from operations. Excluding Nordic Lights, income from operations decreased $5.0 million due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling and administrative expenses. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to lower salary expense and professional fees.

Industrial segment income from operations decreased $0.9 million, or 1.3%, to $68.8 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $69.7 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The acquisition of Nordic Lights and favorable foreign currency translation accounted for $5.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of income from operations. Excluding Nordic Lights and the impact of foreign currency translation, income from operations decreased $6.9 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower selling and administrative expenses. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to lower professional fees and $0.4 million of restructuring costs recognized in the nine months ended January 28, 2023.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we made the decision to initiate the discontinuation of the Dabir business (which accounts for all of the Medical segment's financial results). Towards the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we sold certain assets of the Dabir business and have now exited this business, which accounts for the variances in the table above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity requirements are primarily to fund our business operations, including capital expenditures and working capital requirements, as well as to fund debt service requirements, dividends and stock repurchases. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, existing cash balances and borrowings under our senior unsecured credit agreement. We believe our liquidity position will be sufficient to fund our existing operations and current commitments for at least the next twelve months. However, if economic conditions remain impacted for longer than we expect due to supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressure or other geopolitical risks, including the Russia-Ukraine war and Israel-Hamas war, our liquidity position could be severely impacted.

Table of Contents

As of January 27, 2024, we had $122.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $93.9 million was held in subsidiaries outside the U.S. Cash held by these subsidiaries is used to fund operational activities and can be repatriated, primarily through the payment of dividends and the repayment of intercompany loans, without creating material additional income tax expense.

Share Buyback Program

The Board of Directors authorized a program to purchase up to $200.0 million of our outstanding common stock through June 14, 2024. Purchases may be made in private transactions or on the open market, including pursuant to purchase plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of January 27, 2024, a total of 3,243,746 shares have been purchased at a total cost of $130.1 million since the commencement of the share buyback program. As of January 27, 2024, the dollar value of shares that remained available to be purchased under this share buyback program was $69.9 million.

Credit Agreement

On October 31, 2022, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and the Lenders and other parties named therein. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated September 12, 2018 and as previously amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and L/C Issuer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as L/C Issuer, and the Lenders and other parties named therein. Among other things, the Credit Agreement (i) increased the multicurrency revolving credit commitments under the Prior Credit Agreement to $750,000,000, (ii) refinanced in full and terminated the term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement, and (iii) made certain other changes to the covenants, terms, and conditions under the Prior Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement permits us to increase the revolving commitments and/or add one or more tranches of term loans under the Credit Agreement from time to time by up to an amount equal to (i) $250,000,000 plus (ii) an additional amount so long as the leverage ratio would not exceed 3.00:1.00 on a pro forma basis, subject to, among other things, the receipt of additional commitments from existing and/or new lenders. The Credit Agreement matures on October 31, 2027.

As of January 27, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the original consolidated leverage ratio covenant contained in the Credit Agreement for the quarter ended January 27, 2024. On March 6, 2024, we entered into a First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, the other Lenders party thereto and other parties thereto. Among other things, the Amendment (i) amended the consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024 and each subsequent quarter through the quarter ending October 26, 2024, (ii) amended certain interest rate provisions and (iii) waived any default or event of default that may have occurred due to the non-compliance with the consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024 that was in effect prior to the Amendment. Following the effectiveness of the Amendment, we were in compliance with the consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024.

As of January 27, 2024, $332.6 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of January 27, 2024, after giving effect to the Amendment, including the changes it made to the consolidated leverage ratio covenant for the quarter ended January 27, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. For further information, see Note 8, “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Although we currently anticipate, based on our current projections and analyses, that we will be in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, no assurance can be given that we will be and remain in compliance with such covenants in the future. Factors that could increase our risk of future non-compliance include those identified in Part I – Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.6 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $83.8 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. The decrease was due to lower net income adjusted for non-cash items. The $10.6 million of cash outflows for operating assets and liabilities in the nine months ended January 27, 2024 was primarily due to higher inventory, prepaid expenses and lower other liabilities, partially offset by lower accounts receivable and higher accounts payable.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $39.0 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $27.3 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. Capital expenditures were $41.1 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $30.8 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $15.0 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $63.6 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. In the nine months ended January 27, 2024, we used $10.8 million of cash for the purchase of shares under our share buyback program, compared to $39.6 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. We paid cash dividends of $15.0 million in the nine months ended January 27, 2024, compared to $14.9 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. In the nine months ended January 27, 2024, we had net borrowings of $25.7 million, compared to net repayments of borrowings of $6.6 million in the nine months ended January 28, 2023. In addition, we paid $10.9 million for the purchase of redeemable noncontrolling interests related to Nordic Lights.

Legal Matters

For several years, Hetronic Germany-GmbH and Hydronic-Steuersysteme-GmbH (the “Fuchs companies”) served as our distributors for Germany, Austria and other central and eastern European countries pursuant to their respective intellectual property licenses and distribution and assembly agreements. We became aware that the Fuchs companies and their managing director, Albert Fuchs, had materially violated those agreements. As a result, we terminated all of our agreements with the Fuchs companies. On June 20, 2014, we filed a lawsuit against the Fuchs companies in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma alleging material breaches of the distribution and assembly agreements and seeking damages, as well as various forms of injunctive relief. The defendants filed counterclaims alleging breach of contract, interference with business relations and business slander. On April 2, 2015, we amended our complaint against the Fuchs companies to add additional unfair competition and Lanham Act claims and to add additional affiliated parties.

A trial with respect to the matter began in February 2020. During the trial, the defendants dismissed their one remaining counterclaim with prejudice. On March 2, 2020, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company. The verdict included approximately $102 million in compensatory damages and $11 million in punitive damages. On April 22, 2020, the District Court entered a permanent injunction barring defendants from selling infringing products and ordering them to return Hetronic’s confidential information. Defendants appealed entry of the permanent injunction. On May 29, 2020, the District Court held defendants in contempt for violating the permanent injunction and entered the final judgment. Defendants appealed entry of the final monetary judgment as well. The appeal of the permanent injunction and the appeal of the final judgment were consolidated into a single appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On August 24, 2021, the Tenth Circuit issued a decision affirming the lower court’s ruling with the exception that it instructed the District Court to modify the injunction from the entire world to all of the countries in which Hetronic sells its products. On April 20 and 21, 2022, the District Court held a hearing related to modifying the injunction pursuant to the Tenth Circuit’s opinion, and the parties have filed post-hearing briefs. The defendants also filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court seeking to further appeal the extraterritorial application of the Lanham Act in this case. We opposed that petition. The Supreme Court requested the views of the Solicitor General on the petition for certiorari, and the Solicitor General recommended granting the petition. On November 4, 2022, the Supreme Court granted the petition. The Supreme Court heard arguments in this matter on March 21, 2023. On June 29, 2023, the Supreme Court vacated the Tenth Circuit’s August 2021 decision and remanded the matter back to the Tenth Circuit for further proceedings. On September 1, 2023, the Tenth Circuit requested supplemental briefing from the parties regarding the effect of the Supreme Court’s decision on the appeal and the proper course of further proceedings. That briefing was thereafter submitted, and the Tenth Circuit heard argument in this matter on January 24, 2024.

Like any judgment, particularly a judgment involving defendants outside of the United States, there is no guarantee that we will be able to collect all or any portion of the judgment. Furthermore, defendants Abitron Germany and Hetronic Germany filed for insolvency in German court in September and October 2023 respectively, and the Germany insolvency court then appointed a receiver. These insolvency proceedings could potentially adversely impact our ability to enforce or collect upon the judgment or portions of the judgment or otherwise pursue or enforce claims or rights against those defendants.

In the nine months ended January 27, 2024 and January 28, 2023, we incurred Hetronic-related legal fees of $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively. These amounts are included in the selling and administrative expenses in the Industrial segment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks from foreign currency exchange, interest rates, and commodity prices, which could affect our operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage a portion of these risks through use of derivative financial instruments in accordance with our policies. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the nine months ended January 27, 2024. For a discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s applicable rules and forms. As a result of this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 27, 2024 due to the previously reported material weakness that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, management, including our CEO and CFO, believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal period presented in conformity with GAAP.

Previously Disclosed Material Weakness

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 29, 2023, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of April 29, 2023 due to a material weakness. The material weakness related to revenue at a business unit in our Automotive segment. Specifically, we did not maintain effective review, approval and validation controls over pricing data entered into the business unit's financial system and non-standard contract terms.

We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that this material weakness is remediated as soon as possible. We believe we have made progress towards remediation and continue to implement our remediation plan for the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Remediation efforts to date include the following:

•
Adding additional internal controls over the review, approval and validation of customer pricing data and non-standard contract terms.
•
Developing and deploying additional training programs around the operation and importance of internal controls.

As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to strengthen controls or to modify the remediation plan described above. When fully implemented and operational, we believe the controls we have designed or plan to design will remediate the control deficiency that has led to the material weakness we have identified and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended January 27, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
