Balance Sheet Components [Abstract] |
Balance Sheet Components | 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. 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 $3.2 million and $3.0 million as of August 2, 2025 and May 3, 2025, 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) |  | August 2, 2025 |  |  | May 3, 2025 |
Finished products |  | $ | 44.1 |  |  | $ | 44.3 |
Work-in-process |  |  | 23.0 |  |  |  | 20.7 |
Raw materials |  |  | 150.5 |  |  |  | 158.0 |
Gross inventories |  |  | 217.6 |  |  |  | 223.0 |
Inventory reserves |  |  | (26.7 | ) |  |  | (28.9 | )
Total inventories, net |  | $ | 190.9 |  |  | $ | 194.1 |
Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements, 7 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and 3 years for computer equipment. A summary of property, plant and equipment is shown below:
(in millions) |  | August 2, 2025 |  |  | May 3, 2025 |
Land |  | $ | 3.3 |  |  | $ | 3.3 |
Buildings and building improvements |  |  | 105.9 |  |  |  | 104.6 |
Machinery and equipment |  |  | 435.0 |  |  |  | 424.2 |
Construction in progress |  |  | 51.8 |  |  |  | 47.9 |
Total property, plant and equipment, gross |  |  | 596.0 |  |  |  | 580.0 |
Less: accumulated depreciation |  |  | (371.5 | ) |  |  | (358.4 | )
Property, plant and equipment, net |  | $ | 224.5 |  |  | $ | 221.6 |
Depreciation expense was $9.1 million and $8.2 million in the three months ended August 2, 2025 and July 27, 2024, respectively. As of August 2, 2025 and May 3, 2025, capital expenditures recorded in accounts payable totaled $5.9 million and $3.3 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 August 2, 2025 and May 3, 2025, the Company had $28.7 million and $31.7 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 August 2, 2025 and May 3, 2025, Company-owned tooling was $13.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively.
