Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of our accounts, including inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill, identifiable intangibles, contingent consideration liabilities and deferred tax assets and liabilities including related valuation allowances, are particularly impacted by estimates. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain footnote information has been condensed or omitted from these Consolidated Financial Statements. Therefore, these Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) filed on March 13, 2025, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). (b) Reclassifications Certain prior period presentation and amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. These consist of: •aggregating the components of property and equipment on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing the details in the footnotes •aggregating accrued wages and benefits, accrued professional fees, accrued sales commissions and other current liabilities into accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing the details in the footnotes •aggregating our restricted certificates of deposit into other assets on the face of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing the details in the footnotes •disaggregating amortization of acquired intangible assets from general and administrative expenses on the face of our Consolidated Statements of Operations •aggregating the net earnings (loss) and other comprehensive earnings (loss) lines into comprehensive earnings (loss) on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity •aggregating foreign exchange (gain) loss, discount on shares sold under Employee Stock Purchase Plan, proceeds from sales of demonstration equipment, net of gain, into other non-cash reconciling items within adjustments to reconcile net (loss) earnings to cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows •aggregating accrued wages and benefits, accrued professional fees, accrued sales commissions, other current liabilities and other liabilities into accrued and other liabilities within changes in assets and liabilities for cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (c) Reportable Segments We have three operating segments which are also our reportable segments and reporting units: Electronic Test (which includes our semiconductor test equipment, flying probe and in-circuit testers and the operations of Alfamation™ which we acquired on March 12, 2024 - see “Note (3) Acquisition”), Environmental Technologies (which includes our thermal test, process and storage products) and Process Technologies (which includes our induction heating and video imaging products). We operate our business worldwide and sell our products both domestically and internationally. All of our segments sell to semiconductor manufacturers, third-party test and assembly houses and ATE manufacturers and to a variety of markets outside of the Semi market, including the Auto/EV, Defense/Aerospace, Industrial, Life Sciences, Safety/Security and Other markets. Our management team, including our CEO who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker as defined under U.S. GAAP, evaluates the performance of our operating segments primarily on income from divisional operations which represents earnings before income tax expense and excludes interest expense, other income (expense), corporate expenses, restructuring costs and acquired intangible amortization. Our Electronic Test segment sells its products to semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses (end user sales) and to ATE manufacturers (original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) sales), who ultimately resell our equipment with theirs to both semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses. These sales all fall within the ATE sector of the Semi market. With the December 2021 acquisition of Acculogic Inc. and its affiliates (“Acculogic”) and the March 2024 acquisition of Alfamation S.p.A. (“Alfamation™”), our Electronic Test segment also sells its products to customers in markets outside the Semi market including the Auto/EV, Defense/Aerospace, Industrial and Life Sciences markets. Our Environmental Technologies segment sells its products to end users and OEMs within the ATE sector of the Semi market. It also sells its products to customers in a variety of other markets other than the Semi market, including the Auto/EV, Defense/Aerospace, Industrial and Life Sciences markets. Our Process Technologies segment sells its products to customers in the wafer production sector within the Semi market. It also sells its products to customers in a variety of other markets other than the Semi market, including the Auto/EV, Defense/Aerospace, Industrial, Life Sciences and Safety/Security markets. (d) Business Combinations Acquired businesses are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the net assets acquired at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Fair values of intangible assets are estimated by valuation models prepared by our management and third-party advisors. The assets purchased and liabilities assumed have been reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the operating results are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from the date of acquisition. Any change in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of the estimated fair value change. Acquisition-related transaction costs, including legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the acquisition, are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note (3) Acquisition” for further disclosures related to our March 12, 2024, purchase of Alfamation™. (e) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Our cash balances, which are deposited with highly reputable financial institutions, at times may exceed the federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses related to these cash balances and believe the credit risk to be minimal. Periodically we have restricted cash which represents amounts deposited at our banks to support bank guarantees which certain of our customers require as a condition of paying large deposits on orders they place with us. Typically, the amount of the deposit and related guarantee declines as shipments are made against the order. As a condition of our Sixth Amendment to the Loan Agreement executed on August 5, 2025, as further described in “Note (10) Debt,” we have formally pledged cash holdings equal to our outstanding debt with M&T Bank, which we have presented as restricted cash on the face of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. (f) Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We grant credit to customers and generally require no collateral. To minimize our risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. We follow the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) in developing our estimate of the allowance for credit losses related to our accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses is our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. In establishing the amount of allowance for credit losses, we consider all information available as of the reporting date including information related to past events, such as historical loss rates and actual incurred losses, as well as current conditions that may indicate future risk of loss and any other factors of which we are aware, that we believe could impact the ultimate collectability of the related receivables in future periods. Changes to the allowance for credit losses are included as a component of general and administrative expenses. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any significant off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers. Cash flows from accounts receivable are recorded in operating cash flows. (g) Inventories Inventories are generally valued at cost on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of net realizable value, except inventory acquired in a business combination, which is recorded at fair value. Cash flows from the sale of inventories are recorded in operating cash flows. On a quarterly basis, we review our inventories and record excess and obsolete inventory charges based upon our established objective excess and obsolete inventory criteria. Our criteria identify excess material as the quantity of material on hand that is greater than the average annual usage of that material over the prior three years. Our criteria identify obsolete material as material that has not been used in a work order during the prior twenty-four months. In certain cases, additional excess and obsolete inventory charges are recorded based upon current market conditions, anticipated product life cycles, new product introductions and expected future use of the inventory. The excess and obsolete inventory charges we record establish a new cost basis for the related inventories. (h) Property and Equipment Our property and equipment caption includes machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements which are stated at cost, except for machinery and equipment acquired in a business combination, which are stated at fair value at the time of acquisition. As disclosed in “(i) Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets,” machinery and equipment that has been determined to be impaired is written down to its fair value at the time of the impairment. Depreciation for machinery and equipment is based upon the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives range from one to ten years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. (i) Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets We have three reportable segments which are also our reporting units: Electronic Test, Environmental Technologies and Process Technologies. We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. We generally amortize our finite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be consumed, or on a straight-line basis, if an alternate amortization method cannot be reliably determined. Any such alternate amortization method would be based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be consumed. None of our intangible assets have any residual value. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. As a part of the goodwill impairment assessment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is not required. However, if, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or, if we choose not to perform a qualitative assessment, we are required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized. The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The goodwill impairment assessment is based upon the income approach, which estimates the fair value of our reporting units based upon a discounted cash flow approach. This fair value is then reconciled to our market capitalization at year end with an appropriate control premium. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions including the selection of control premiums, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue and expense growth rates, income tax rates, changes in working capital, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit or the amount of the goodwill impairment charge. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. As a part of the impairment assessment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Long-lived assets, which consist of finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset group. If impairment is indicated, the asset group is written down to its estimated fair value. The cash flow estimates used to determine the impairment, if any, contain management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at that time. (j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following: Level 1: Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Level 2: Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, our credit facility, interest rate swaps and our liabilities for contingent consideration. Our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost which approximates fair value, due to the short-term nature of those items. Our credit facility and our interest rate swap are discussed further below and in “Note (10) Debt.” Our contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs which are inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Changes in the amount of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration since the acquisition date are recorded as general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the quarter in which they occur. The current portion of our contingent consideration liability is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities, while the non-current portion is included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See “Note (7) Fair Value Measurements” for further disclosures related to the fair value of our liabilities for contingent consideration. (k) State and Local Grant Funds Received In connection with leasing a facility in Rochester, New York, which our subsidiary, Ambrell Corporation (“Ambrell®”), occupied in May 2018, we entered into agreements with the city of Rochester and the state of New York under which we received grants totaling $0.6 million to help offset a portion of the cost of the leasehold improvements we made to this facility. In exchange for the funds we received under these agreements, we were required to create and maintain specified levels of employment in this location through various dates ending in 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we met those employment targets as specified in both grant agreements. The remaining proceeds which were no longer subject to repayment were reclassified to deferred grant proceeds and will be amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the current remaining lease term for the Rochester facility. Deferred grant proceeds are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $0.3 million at September 30, 2025. (l) Leases We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842 - Leases (“ASC 842”). We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A lease contract is within scope if the contract has an identified asset (property, plant or equipment) and grants the lessee the right to control the use of the asset during the lease term. The identified asset may be either explicitly or implicitly specified in the contract. In addition, the supplier must not have any practical ability to substitute a different asset and would not economically benefit from doing so for the lease contract to be in scope. The lessee’s right to control the use of the asset during the term of the lease must include the ability to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset as well as decision-making authority over how the asset will be used. Leases are classified as either operating leases or finance leases based on the guidance in ASC 842. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not currently have any financing leases. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. None of our leases provide an implicit rate; therefore, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. We include these options in the determination of the amount of the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of minimum rentals and rent holidays during the original lease terms. Rent holidays are periods during which we have control of the leased facility but are not obligated to pay rent. For these leases, our ROU asset and lease liability are calculated including any rent holiday in the determination of the life of the lease. We have lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. In addition to the monthly rental payments due, most of our leases for our offices and warehouse facilities include non-lease components representing our portion of the common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance charges incurred by the landlord for the facilities which we occupy. These amounts are not included in the calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are based on actual charges incurred in the periods to which they apply. Operating lease payments are included in cash outflows from operating activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Amortization of ROU assets is presented separately from the change in operating lease liabilities and is included in depreciation and amortization on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We have made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with a term of one year or less at the commencement date of the lease). Lease expense for short-term lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. See “Note (9) Leases” for further disclosures regarding our leases. (m) Interest Rate Swap Agreement We are exposed to interest rate risk on our floating-rate debt. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis for a portion of our floating rate debt, as discussed further in “Note (7) Fair Value Measurements” and “Note (10) Debt.” The principal objective of this agreement is to eliminate the variability of the cash flows for interest payments associated with a portion of our floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. We have elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with ASC Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. Further, we have determined that this agreement qualifies for the shortcut method of hedge accounting. Our interest rate swap is recorded at fair value as a component of other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings (Loss) and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. We recognize the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap as a component of the change in other assets in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (n) Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize revenue for the sale of products or services at the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those goods or services when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied and control of the product or service has been transferred to the customer. Generally, this occurs when we ship a product or perform a service. In certain cases, recognition of revenue is deferred until the product is received by the customer or at some other point in the future when we have determined that we have satisfied our performance obligations under the contract. Our contracts with customers may include a combination of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In addition to the sale of products and services, we also lease certain of our equipment to customers under short-term lease agreements. We recognize revenue from equipment leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not have any material variable consideration arrangements, or any material payment terms with our customers other than standard payment terms which generally range from net 30 to net 90 days. We generally do not provide a right of return to our customers. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in revenue, while shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue. Nature of Products and Services We are a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in targeted markets including Semi, Industrial, Auto/EV, Life Sciences, Defense/Aerospace and Safety/Security. We sell semiconductor ATE interface solutions which include manipulators, docking hardware and electrical interface products. As a result of the acquisition of Acculogic, we sell robotics-based electronic production test equipment. We sell semiconductor ATE interface solutions and certain thermal management products to the Semi market. We sell thermal management products including ThermoStream®, ThermoChambers, process chillers, refrigerators and freezers, which we sell under our Temptronic®, Sigma, Thermonics® and North Sciences product lines, and Ambrell®’s precision induction heating systems, including EKOHEAT® and EASYHEAT™ products. As a result of the acquisition of Videology®, we sell industrial-grade circuit board mounted video digital cameras and related devices, systems and software. We also sell many of our products to various other markets including the Industrial, Auto/EV, Life Sciences, Defense/Aerospace and Safety/Security markets. We provide post-warranty service and support for the equipment we sell. We lease certain of our equipment under short-term leasing agreements with original lease terms of six months or less. Our lease agreements do not contain purchase options. Occasionally we procure and sell materials/components on behalf of and to our customers. Types of Contracts with Customers Our contracts with customers are generally structured as individual purchase orders which specify the exact products or services being sold or equipment being leased along with the selling price, service fee or monthly lease amount for each individual item on the purchase order. Payment terms and any other customer-specific acceptance criteria are also specified on the purchase order. We generally do not have any customer-specific acceptance criteria, other than that the product performs within the agreed-upon specifications. We test substantially all products manufactured as part of our quality assurance process to determine that they comply with specifications prior to shipment to a customer. Contract Balances We record accounts receivable at the time of invoicing. Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses, is included in current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In certain instances, we also receive customer deposits in advance of invoicing and recording of accounts receivable. Customer deposits are included in current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. To the extent that we do not recognize revenue at the same time as we invoice, we record a liability for deferred revenue. Deferred revenue estimated to be recognized within the next twelve months is included in current liabilities. Deferred revenue that we estimate will be recognized beyond twelve months is recorded in deferred revenue, net of current portion, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any non-inventoriable costs associated with deferred revenue are also deferred and recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on when the related deferred revenue is expected to be recognized. As discussed above, we follow the guidance in ASC 326 in developing our estimate of the allowance for credit losses related to our accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses is our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We monitor the collectability of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and record charges for credit loss expense in the period when we determine that a loss is expected to occur based on our assessment. Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The only costs we incur associated with obtaining contracts with customers are sales commissions that we pay to our internal sales personnel or third-party sales representatives. These costs are calculated based on set percentages of the selling price of each product or service sold. Commissions are considered earned by our internal sales personnel at the time we recognize revenue for a particular transaction. Commissions are considered earned by third-party sales representatives at the time that revenue is recognized for a particular transaction. We record commission expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations at the time the commission is earned. Commissions earned but not yet paid are included in current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Product Warranties In connection with the sale of our products, we generally provide standard one- or two-year product warranties which are detailed in our terms and conditions and communicated to our customers. Our standard warranties are not offered for sale separately from our products; therefore, there is not a separate performance obligation related to our standard warranties. We record estimated warranty expense for our standard warranties at the time of sale based upon historical claims experience. We offer customers an option to separately purchase an extended warranty on certain products. In the case of extended warranties, we recognize revenue in the amount of the sale price for the extended warranty on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. We record costs incurred to provide service under an extended warranty at the time the service is provided. Warranty expense is included in selling expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. See “Note (11) Revenue From Contracts With Customers” and “Note (18) Segment and Geographic Area Information” for further information about our revenue from contracts with customers. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Earnings (loss) per common share - basic is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each period. Common share equivalents represent unvested shares of restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options and are calculated using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive. (p) Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 - Compensation—Stock Compensation which requires that employee share-based equity awards be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value of stock options, which is then amortized to expense over the service periods. We generally grant awards in the first quarter of the year and recognize forfeitures of awards as they occur, recapturing any expense recorded for unvested awards. The fair value of our stock options on the date of grant is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of certain assumptions, including the expected volatility of our stock price, the expected term of the option, the risk-free rate and the expected dividend yield. No option may be granted with an exercise period in excess of ten years from the date of grant. Generally, stock options will be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant and will vest over four years. We record compensation expense for restricted stock awards based on the quoted market price of our stock at the grant date and amortize the expense over the vesting period. Restricted stock awards generally vest over four years for employees. Prior to 2025, restricted stock awards granted to our independent directors vested 25% at each of March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of the year in which they were granted. Beginning in 2025, restricted stock awards granted to our independent directors vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. We also grant performance-based restricted stock awards where the ultimate number of shares that vest can vary and is based on the achievement of specific performance metrics. The grant date fair value of these awards is based on the quoted market price of our stock on the date of grant. Vesting for performance-based awards is generally cliff vesting at the end of the period over which the performance metrics are measured. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is based on the expected final vesting percentage, which is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted with a catch-up adjusted as needed. Our initial assumption at the grant date of these performance-based awards is that the award will vest at 100%. From time to time, as restricted stock awards vest, certain employees surrender their vested shares to satisfy their tax liability on vesting. The fair value of those shares on the vesting date are then used by us to pay those employees’ tax obligations. The shares surrendered are reported as treasury stock in our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. See further disclosures related to our stock-based compensation plans in “Note (14) Stock-Based Compensation Plan.” (q) Foreign Currency For our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The results of operations are translated using an average exchange rate for the period. The effects of rate fluctuations in translating assets and liabilities of these international operations into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings in our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Transaction gains or losses are included in net earnings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our net foreign currency transaction gains were immaterial. (r) Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, as described in ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets are analyzed to determine if there will be sufficient taxable income in the future in order to realize such assets. We assess all of the positive and negative evidence concerning the realizability of the deferred tax assets, including our historical results of operations for the recent past and our projections of future results of operations, in which we make subjective determinations of future events. If, after assessing all of the evidence, both positive and negative, a determination is made that the realizability of the deferred tax assets is not more likely than not, we establish a deferred tax valuation allowance for all or a portion of the deferred tax assets depending upon the specific facts. If any of the significant assumptions were changed, materially different results could occur, which could significantly change the amount of the deferred tax valuation allowance established. Recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions in our financial statements involves a determination of whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination with the presumption that the tax position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. Our policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), enacting a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain domestic and international Tax Cut & Jobs Act provisions and expanding certain Inflation Reduction Act incentives while accelerating the phase-out of others. Only certain provisions will have current-year financial reporting implications due to varying effective dates and discretionary elections. We do not anticipate any material impact from the adoption of OBBBA to our Consolidated Financial Statements. (s) Restructuring and Other Charges In accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 420 - Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, we recognize a liability for restructuring costs at fair value only when the liability is incurred. Workforce-related charges are accrued when it is determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally after individuals have been notified of their termination dates and expected severance benefits. Depending on the timing of the termination dates, these charges may be recognized upon notification or ratably over the remaining required service period of the employees. Plans to consolidate excess facilities may result in lease termination fees and impairment charges related to our ROU assets that are associated with the leases for these facilities. Other long-lived assets that may be impaired as a result of restructuring consist of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. Asset impairment charges included in restructuring and other charges are based on an estimate of the amounts and timing of future cash flows related to the expected future remaining use and ultimate sale or disposal of the asset, and, in the case of our ROU assets, would include estimated future sublease rental income, if applicable. These estimates are derived using the guidance in ASC 842, ASC 350 and ASC Topic 360 - Property, Plant and Equipment. (t) Effect of Recently Adopted Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) which amends the guidance for disclosures for reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 introduced new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarifies that single reportable segment entities must apply ASC 280 – Segment Reporting in its entirety, permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. Our adoption of ASU 2023-07 had no impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have retrospectively applied the amendments to our interim footnote disclosures beginning January 1, 2025, as permitted. (u) Effect of Recently Issued Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). This update removes references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and introduces the “probable-to-complete” threshold for consideration of when to begin software capitalization. The update also requires the disclosure of the gross capitalized internal-use software balance, the accumulated amortization, the amortization for the period and a general description of the method used in computing amortization. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective, modified transition or retrospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the amendments to our Consolidated Financial Statements and our footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). The amendments introduce a practical expedient related to applying Subtopic 326-20 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient allows all entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. Under the practical expedient, historical loss information will be adjusted to reflect current conditions to the extent that historic information does not reflect current conditions. The amendments must be adopted on a prospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We have evaluated the impact of the amendments and do not believe there is any material effect to our Consolidated Financial Statements or our footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) that requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. ASU 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and our definition of selling expenses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be adopted on a prospective basis at the effective date or retrospectively applied to all periods presented. We do not believe there will be any impact on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and are evaluating the impact of the amendments on footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2024, the SEC issued a new final rule in Release 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires the inclusion of climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. Among other things, the new rule requires disclosure of material climate-related risks, activities related to adapting to or mitigating such risks, related oversight activities, and information on climate-related targets or goals. Information is also required of certain greenhouse gas emissions. Disclosure requirements were to begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, however on April 4, 2024, the SEC issued a voluntary stay (SEC Release 33-11280) in response to pending litigation. Therefore, the implementation dates are currently on hold. We are monitoring SEC developments and evaluating the impact of the new rule on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments require entities to annually disclose the income tax rate reconciliation using both amounts and percentages, considering several categories of reconciling items, including state and local income taxes, foreign tax effects, tax credits and nontaxable or nondeductible items, among others. Disclosure of the reconciling items is subject to a quantitative threshold and disaggregation by nature and jurisdiction. The amendments also require entities to disclose net income taxes paid or received to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as well as by individual jurisdiction, subject to a five percent quantitative threshold. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe there will be any impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and are evaluating the impact of the amendments on footnote disclosures to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
