The TS US division enters into certain multi-year agreements with vendors when also entering into some of the multi-year financing contracts the Company enters into with customers. See Note 5 Financing receivables, net for further information related to the multi-year agreements with customers.

There was not an interest rate stated in the agreements and therefore interest was imputed under ASC 835 Interest as the payments in the exchange represented two elements: principal and interest. The average imputed interest rate for the agreements was determined to be 8.0% as of December 31, 2024. The rate was determined primarily based on the rate the Company could obtain by financing from other sources at the date of the transaction.

Interest expense related to these agreements for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $75 thousand and $45 thousand, respectively. The increase was due to several agreements entered into in fiscal year 2024 and one in fiscal year 2025, partially offset with payments made on agreements made prior to these fiscal years.

The amounts owed for these agreements are in Accounts payable and Other noncurrent liabilities because they are owed to vendors rather than banks or financial institutions for borrowings. See Note 9 Line of Credit for amounts due to financial institutions for borrowings.

Below are details of the agreements with the vendors that contain imputed interest:

The TS segment has many vendors it transacts with and does not have any specific agreement with this vendor that it must purchase certain products from the vendor. Management believes other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms.
