1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
— The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by IPG Photonics Corporation, or "IPG", "its" or the "Company". Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company's accounts and those of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the opinion of the Company's management, the financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.
Change in Accounting Estimate
— During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed an assessment of the useful lives of certain machinery and equipment, resulting in a change in the upper end of the range for these assets from
7
years to
10
years based upon the Company's experience of historical usage. The change in estimate resulted in a decrease of depreciation expense reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of this change, Operating income increased approximately $
900
and $
1,800
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, Net income increased approximately $
700
and $
1,400
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively and diluted net income per common share increased approximately $
0.02
and $
0.03
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted Pronouncement
— In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. Under the new guidance an entity is required to disclose the title and position of the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires that an entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by this ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-07. Refer to Note 15, "Segment Reporting."
Pronouncements Currently Under Evaluation
— In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires an entity on an annual basis to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose on an annual basis information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect this standard will have a material impact on the Company's disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Aggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires more detailed disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect that this standard will have a material impact on the Company's disclosures.

The Company recognizes revenue over time on contracts for the sale of large scale materials processing systems. The timing of customer payments on these contracts generally differs from the timing of revenue recognized. If revenue recognized exceeds customer payments, a contract asset is recorded and if customer payments exceed revenue recognized, a contract liability is recorded. Contract assets are included within prepaid expense and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain deferred revenues related to extended warranties in excess of one year from

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and revolving lines of credit.
The valuation techniques used to measure fair value are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The Company classifies its financial instruments according to the prescribed criteria.
The fair value of money market fund deposits, cash equivalent term deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable and drawings on revolving lines of credit is reasonably close to their carrying amounts due to the short maturity of most of these instruments or as a result of the competitive market interest rates, which have been negotiated. The fair value of the Company's term deposits, corporate bonds, commercial paper, and U.S. Treasury and agency obligations are based on Level 2 inputs.

FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Revolving Line of Credit Facilities:
On June 24, 2025, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. which matures on June 24, 2030. The credit agreement provides a $
200,000
unsecured, revolving credit facility, of which $
25,000
may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. The new facility replaced the previous $
75,000
U.S. revolving line of credit with a scheduled maturity date of June 30, 2025.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no amounts drawn on the credit facilities, and there were $
1,263
and $
2,103
respectively, of guarantees issued, which reduced the amount of the availability under the facilities. After providing for the guarantees used, the remaining availability under the new line was $
198,737
at June 30, 2025.
Under the credit agreement, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants, which are tested quarterly and include an interest coverage ratio and a net leverage ratio. The interest coverage covenant requires the Company maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense on all obligations that is at least 3.0 times. The net leverage covenant requires the Company maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio, which is the sum of all indebtedness for borrowed money on a consolidated basis, less cash and available marketable securities not classified as long-term investments in the U.S. in excess of $
50,000
up to a maximum of $
500,000
, to consolidated EBITDA that is less than 3.0 times. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants as of June 30, 2025.
In addition to the financial covenants the Company's credit agreement contains additional customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, invalidity of any loan document, material judgments, bankruptcy and insolvency events and change of control, subject, in certain instances, to cure periods. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may elect to declare amounts outstanding under the credit agreement immediately due and payable.
In addition, the Company maintains Euro lines of credit with a total principal amount of €
6,500
($
7,632
and $
6,751
as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively), which are available to certain European subsidiaries. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no amounts drawn on the Euro lines of credit, and there were $
1,862
and $
1,533
, respectively, of guarantees issued against one of the facilities, which reduces the amount of the availability under the facility.
Additionally, the Company has lines of credit totaling $
20,600
in various countries, which are used for the
issuance of letters of credit, guarantees and overdrafts. As of June 30, 2025 the amounts drawn were immaterial and there were $
1,912
of guarantees issued against these facilities.
11.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes was an expense of $
1,666
and $
4,858
, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively and $
8,523
and
$
14,361
for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was
20.1
% and
19.4
% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and
45.1
% and
24.5
% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively.
The decrease in tax expense was primarily due to lower Income before provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The six month decrease as compared to the prior year was partially offset by an increase in discrete tax items for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The discrete tax detriment was $
275
for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and is related primarily to equity-based compensation expense reflected in financial statement income in excess of the deductions allowed for tax purposes. This compares to a discrete tax benefit of $
85
for the three months ended June 30, 2024 which is related primarily to a decrease in uncertain tax positions due to the conclusion of tax audits which was partially offset by equity-based compensation expense reflected in financial statement income in excess of the deductions allowed for tax purposes.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
The discrete tax detriment of $

SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates in
one
segment which involves the design, development, production and distribution of fiber lasers, laser and non-laser systems, fiber amplifiers, and related optical components. The Company has a single, company-wide management team that administers the enterprise as a whole rather than as discrete operating segments. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the Company's chief executive officer, also measures financial performance as a single enterprise, and not on geography, legal entity, or end market basis. Throughout the year, the CODM allocates capital resources on a project-by-project basis across the Company's entire asset base, as reflected in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, to maximize profitability without regard to geography, legal entity, or end market basis. The Company operates in a number of countries throughout the world in a variety of product lines. Information regarding product lines and geographic financial information is provided in Note 3, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."
The CODM primarily utilizes "Net income," as well as "Net income per common share” included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the key indicators in assessing the enterprise’s performance and allocating resources. In evaluating Net income, the CODM also reviews gross profit as well the Company's income before foreign exchange and other segment items to set and evaluate performance targets.
The following table presents the break-down of Net income, including significant segment expenses.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R. 1 "A bill to provide for reconciliation pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14", commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. Changes in tax laws may affect recorded deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and the Company's effective tax rate in the future. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts that new legislation will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward looking statements that are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."
Overview
We develop, manufacture and sell high-performance fiber lasers and diode lasers that are used for diverse applications, primarily in materials processing. We also manufacture and sell complementary products used with our lasers including optical delivery cables, fiber couplers, beam switches, optical processing heads, in-line sensors and chillers. In addition, we offer laser-based and non-laser based systems for certain markets and applications. Our portfolio of laser solutions is used in materials processing, medical, and advanced applications. We sell our products globally to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), system integrators and end users. We market our products internationally, primarily through our direct sales force. Our major manufacturing facilities are located in the United States and Germany. In response to the risks from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we expanded our manufacturing operations in Germany, the United States and Italy, and have added manufacturing capacity in Poland to meet the demand for our products and our sales and support needs. In addition, we have ceased new investment in our Belarusian operations and have outsourced the supply laser cabinets and mechanical components that were supplied by that operation. We have sales and service offices and applications laboratories worldwide.
We are vertically integrated such that we design and manufacture most of the key components used in our finished products, from semiconductor diodes to optical fiber preforms, finished fiber lasers and complementary products. Our vertically integrated operations allow us to reduce manufacturing costs, control quality, rapidly develop and integrate advanced products and protect our proprietary technology.
Factors and Trends That Affect Our Operations and Financial Results
In reading our financial statements, you should be aware of the following factors and trends that our management believes are important in understanding our financial performance.
Recently announced U.S. Government Tariffs.
We continue to closely monitor changes in international trade relations and economic and monetary policies, including recently announced tariffs on imports into the U.S. from China, Germany and other countries, as well as retaliatory tariffs in affected countries, which could adversely impact the global economy and our operating results. The impact to gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately 115 basis points.
Belarusian Operations.
We manufacture laser cabinets and other mechanical components in Belarus. In response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the EU issued additional sanctions impacting commerce with Belarus on June 29, 2024, which restricted the supply of laser cabinets and other mechanical components from our factory in Belarus to our Germany operations after October 2, 2024. As a result of the sanctions and their impact on our Belarus operations, we completed an impairment analysis of our Belarus assets during the third quarter of 2024 and recorded $26.6 million of impairment of long-lived asset in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At June 30, 2025, the remaining value of the long-lived assets in Belarus was $4.2 million. Net working capital excluding cash was $0.1 million and cash on hand was $1.5 million. The net asset value of our Belarus subsidiary has been reduced by $17.5 million due to the cumulative translation effect of the Belarusian ruble compared to the U.S. dollar, which is included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss component of stockholders' equity. We may incur additional asset impairment charges related to the Belarus operations and the other comprehensive loss that is currently in the equity section of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets could be charged to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We continue to review our operations in Belarus including potential strategic alternatives. We have qualified third party vendors to supply components previously supplied from Belarus and have begun purchasing from them. Our Board of Directors monitors and continues to assess risks associated with our Belarusian operations.
Net sales.
Our net sales have historically fluctuated from quarter to quarter. The increase or decrease in sales from a prior quarter can be affected by the timing of orders received from customers, the timing of shipments, the mix of OEM orders and one-time orders for products with large purchase prices, competitive pressures, acquisitions, economic and political conditions in a certain country or region and seasonal factors such as the purchasing patterns and levels of activity throughout the year in the regions where we operate. Net sales can be affected by the time taken to qualify our products for use in new applications in the end markets that we serve. Our sales cycle varies substantially, ranging from a period of a few weeks to as long as one year
or more, but is typically several months. The adoption of our products by a new customer or qualification in a new application can lead to an increase in net sales for a period, which may then slow until we penetrate new markets or obtain new customers. Foreign exchange rates also affect our net sales, due to changes in the U.S. dollar value of sales made in foreign currencies.
Our business depends substantially upon capital expenditures by end users, particularly by manufacturers using our products for materials processing, which includes general manufacturing, automotive including electric vehicles ("EV"), other transportation, aerospace, heavy industry, consumer, semiconductor and electronics. Approximately 85% of our revenues for the first half of 2025, and 88% for the full fiscal year of 2024 were from customers using our products for materials processing. Although applications within materials processing are broad, the capital equipment market in general is cyclical and historically has experienced sudden and severe downturns. For the foreseeable future, our operations will continue to depend upon capital expenditures by end users of materials processing equipment and will be subject to the broader fluctuations of capital equipment spending.
In recent years, our net sales and margins have been negatively impacted by tariffs and trade policy. New tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and certain foreign governments. We are also susceptible to global or regional disruptions such as political instability, geopolitical conflicts, acts of terrorism, significant fluctuations in currency values, natural disasters and pandemics to the extent that they affect macroeconomic conditions, global supply chains or individual IPG locations.
The average selling prices of our products generally decrease as the products mature. These decreases result from factors such as increased competition, decreased manufacturing costs and increased unit volumes. We may also reduce selling prices in order to penetrate new markets and applications. Furthermore, we may negotiate discounted selling prices from time to time with certain customers that place high unit-volume orders.
The secular shift to fiber laser technology in large materials processing applications, such as welding and cutting applications, had a positive effect on our sales trends in the past such that our sales trends were often better than other capital equipment manufacturers in both positive and negative economic cycles. As the secular shift to fiber laser technology matures in such applications, our sales trends are more susceptible to economic cycles, which can broadly affect the demand for capital equipment including machine tools and industrial lasers, and competition from other fiber laser manufacturers. Additionally, as our technology matures, we become subject to more competition which can affect sales trends.
Gross margin.
Our total gross margin in any period can be significantly affected by a number of factors, including net sales, production volumes, competitive factors, product mix, and by other factors such as changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, tariffs and shipping costs. Many of these factors are not under our control. The following are examples of factors affecting gross margin:
•
As our products mature, we can experience additional competition which tends to decrease average selling prices and affects gross margin;
•
Our gross margin can be significantly affected by product mix. Within each of our product categories, the gross margin is generally higher for devices with greater average power. These higher power products often have better performance, more difficult specifications to attain and fewer competing products in the marketplace;
•
Higher power lasers also use a greater number of optical components, improving absorption of fixed overhead costs and enabling economies of scale in manufacturing;
•
The gross margin for certain specialty products may be higher because there are fewer or sometimes no equivalent competing products;
•
Customers that purchase devices in greater unit volumes generally are provided lower prices per device than customers that purchase fewer units. In general, lower selling prices to high unit volume customers reduce gross margin although this may be partially offset by improved absorption of fixed overhead costs associated with larger product volumes, which drive economies of scale;
•
Gross margin on systems can be lower than gross margin for our lasers and sub-systems, depending on the configuration, volume and competitive forces, among other factors;
•
Persistent inflation leading to increases in average manufacturing salaries as well as an increase in the purchase price of components including, but not limited to, electronic components and metal parts could negatively impact gross margin if we are not able to pass those increases on to customers by increasing the selling price of our products;
•
Changes in relative exchange rates between currencies we receive when selling our products and currencies we use to pay our manufacturing expenses; and finally,
•
Our gross margin from products on new manufacturing lines can be lower due to production inefficiencies and high scrap costs.
We expect that some new technologies, products and systems will have returns above our cost of capital but may have gross margins below our corporate average. If we are able to develop opportunities that are significant in size, competitively advantageous or leverage our existing technology base and leadership, our current gross margin levels may not be maintained. Instead, we aim to deliver industry-leading levels of gross margins by growing sales, by taking market share in existing markets, or by developing new applications and markets we address, by reducing the cost of our products and by optimizing the efficiency of our manufacturing operations.
A high proportion of our costs is fixed so costs are generally difficult to adjust or may take time to adjust in response to changes in demand. In addition, our fixed costs increase as we expand our capacity. If we expand capacity faster than is required by sales growth, gross margins could be negatively affected. Gross margins generally decline if production volumes are lower as a result of a decrease in sales or a reduction in inventory because the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs will be reduced. Gross margins generally improve when the opposite occurs. If both sales and inventory decrease in the same period, the decline in gross margin may be greater if we cannot reduce fixed costs or choose not to reduce fixed costs to match the decrease in the level of production. If we experience a decline in sales that reduces absorption of our fixed costs, or if we have production issues, our gross margins will be negatively affected.
We also regularly review our inventory for items that are slow-moving, have been rendered obsolete or are determined to be excess. Any provision for such slow-moving, obsolete or excess inventory affects our gross margins. For example, we recorded provisions for slow-moving, obsolete or excess inventory totaling $7.8 million and $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $17.3 million and $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Selling and general and administrative expenses.
In the past, we invested in selling and general and administrative costs in order to support continued growth in the Company. As the secular shift to fiber laser technology matures, our sales growth becomes more susceptible to the cyclical trends typical of capital equipment manufacturers. Accordingly, our future management of and investments in selling and general and administrative expenses will also be influenced by these trends, although we may still invest in selling or general and administrative functions to support certain initiatives even in economic down cycles. Certain general and administrative expenses are not related to the level of sales and may vary quarter to quarter based primarily upon the level of acquisitions, litigation and project-related consulting expenses. Additionally, selling and general and administrative expenses will also be influenced by accruals for variable compensation and performance stock unit expense both of which are dependent upon our performance relative to preestablished targets.
Research and development expenses.
We plan to continue to invest in research and development to improve our existing components and products and develop new components, products, systems and applications technology. We believe that these investments will sustain our position as a leader in the fiber laser industry and will support development of new products that can address new markets and growth opportunities. The amount of research and development expense we incur may vary from period to period.
In 2025, we increased spending in multiple areas to support our strategic initiatives and growth. Operating expenses rose as we hired additional executives and managers to strengthen management capabilities. We also invested in several key areas, including:
•
software enhancements to improve the seamless integration of products and components to drive their ease of use and functionality;
•
component and product cost reductions to improve profitability;
•
new product development for medical, advanced and micromachining; and
•
sales and marketing to better service our customers, improve the customer experience and our new product introductions.
To set the foundation for growth, we expect such spending to remain at current or at increased levels.
Goodwill and long-lived assets impairments
. We review our intangible assets and property, plant and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required
to be tested for impairment at least annually. Negative industry or economic trends, including reduced estimates of future cash flows, disruptions to our business, slower growth rates, lack of growth in our relevant business units, differences in the estimated product acceptance rates, or market prices below the carrying value of long-lived assets evaluated for sale could lead to impairment charges against our long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets.
Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make significant judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance and future strategic use of our asset footprint. Also, the process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective. We operate in a highly competitive environment and projections of future operating results, asset usage and cash flows may vary significantly from actual results. If our analysis indicates potential impairment to goodwill in one or more of our reporting units, we may be required to record charges to earnings in our financial statements, which could negatively affect our results of operations.
Foreign exchange.
Because we are a U.S.-based company doing business globally, we have both translational and transactional exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the relative exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies in which our subsidiaries operate directly affects our sales, costs and earnings. Differences in the relative exchange rates between where we sell our products and where we incur manufacturing and other operating costs (primarily in the U.S. and Germany) also affects our costs and earnings. Certain currencies experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations like the euro, the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen have had and could have an additional significant impact on our sales, costs and earnings. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the foreign exchange loss was primarily attributed to the appreciation of the euro as compared to the U.S. dollar. Our European subsidiaries have certain net assets denominated in U.S. dollars. Our ability to adjust the foreign currency selling prices of products in response to changes in exchange rates is limited and may not offset the impact of the changes in exchange rates on the translated value of sales or costs. In addition, if we increase the selling price of our products in local currencies, this could have a negative impact on the demand for our products.
Income taxes.
On December 15, 2022, the European Union (EU) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates were January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. The impact of the Pillar Two Framework on our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was not material. We are continuing to evaluate the potential impact of the Pillar Two Framework on future periods, pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R. 1 "A bill to provide for reconciliation pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14", commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. Changes in tax laws may affect recorded deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and our effective tax rate in the future. We are currently evaluating the impacts that new legislation will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Major customers.
While we have historically depended on a few customers for a large percentage of our annual net sales, the composition of this group can change from period to period. Net sales derived from our five largest customers as a percentage of our net sales was 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 13% for the full years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. One of our customers accounted for 15% and 12% of our net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We seek to add new customers and to expand our relationships with existing customers. We anticipate that the composition of our significant customers will continue to change. We generally do not enter into agreements with our customers obligating them to purchase a fixed number or large volume of our products. If any of our significant customers substantially reduced their purchases from us, our results would be adversely affected.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net sales.
Net sales decreased by $6.9 million, or 2.7%, to $250.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $257.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Materials processing sales accounted for 84.7% of total revenue and decreased 6.0% year over year, as a result of lower sales in cutting, welding applications and additive manufacturing applications, partially offset by higher revenue in micromachining and cleaning, mainly attributable to the cleanLASER acquisition. Other applications sales increased 20.7% year over year driven by higher revenue in advanced applications and medical procedures. The decrease in sales was also driven by a divestiture in the third quarter of 2024, resulting in a decrease of $11.1 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of sales and gross margin.
Cost of sales decreased by $4.4 million, or 2.7%, to $157.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $161.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our gross margin remained at 37.3% for both the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Higher product costs driven by mix and import duties driven by tariffs, as a percentage of sales, were offset by decreased provisions for excess and obsolete inventory and a decrease in unabsorbed manufacturing costs.
Sales and marketing expense.
Sales and marketing expense increased by $3.1 million, or 13.8%, to $25.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to increases in personnel and related expenses as well as in depreciation and amortization expense. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expense increased to 10.2% from 8.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Research and development expense.
Research and development expense increased by $2.4 million, or 8.7%, to $29.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $27.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to increases in personnel and related expenses. As a percentage of sales, research and development expense increased to 11.9% from 10.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
General and administrative expense.
General and administrative expense increased by $3.3 million, or 10.4%, to $34.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to increases in personnel and related expenses. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense increased to 13.9% from 12.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Effect of exchange rates on net sales, gross profit and operating expenses.
If exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had been the same as the comparable quarter one year ago, which were on average euro 0.93, Japanese yen 156 and Chinese yuan 7.24, respectively, we estimate that net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 would have been $3.5 million lower,
gross profit would have been $1.2 million lower and total sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses would have been $0.9 million lower.
Loss on foreign exchange.
We incurred a foreign exchange transaction loss of $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a $3.2 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our European subsidiaries have certain net assets denominated in U.S. dollars, and our Chinese subsidiary has certain net liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. The foreign exchange loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to an appreciation of the euro as compared to the U.S. dollar.
Interest income, net.
Interest income, net was $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $12.8 million of income for three months ended June 30, 2024. The change in interest income, net was due to a reduction in cash and investment balances, lower weighted average interest rates across our investment portfolio and geographic mix in the current period as compared to the prior year.
Provision for income taxes
.
The provision for income taxes was an expense of $1.7 million and $4.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was 20.1% for the
three months ended June 30, 2025
.
This compares to
the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024, of 19.4%.
The decrease in tax expense was primarily due to lower Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
The discrete tax detriment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 of $0.3 million is related primarily to equity-based compensation expense reflected in financial statement income in excess of the deductions allowed for tax purposes. This compares to a net discrete tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which is primarily a decrease in uncertain tax positions, partially offset by equity-based compensation expense reflected in financial statement income in excess of the deductions allowed for tax purposes.
Net income.
Net income decreased by $13.6 million to a net income of $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net income of $20.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to the factors described above.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net sales.
Net sales decreased by $31.2 million, or 6.1% to $478.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $509.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Materials processing
Materials processing sales accounted for 85.3% of total revenue and decreased 9.8% year over year, as a result of lower sales in cutting and welding applications, partially offset by higher revenue in micromachining, cleaning, mainly attributable to the cleanLASER acquisition and additive manufacturing applications. Other applications sales increased 22.7% year over year driven by higher revenue in advanced applications and medical procedures. The decrease in sales was also driven by a divestiture in the third quarter of 2024, resulting in a decrease of $22.3 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of sales and gross margin.
Cost of sales decreased by $20.8 million, or 6.6%, to $295.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $315.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our gross margin increased to 38.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 38.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gross margin increased mainly driven by a decrease of unabsorbed manufacturing costs, partially offset by higher product costs driven by mix, and import duties driven by tariffs, as a percentage of sales.
Sales and marketing expense.
Sales and marketing expense increased by $4.5 million, or 9.9%, to $50.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared with $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to higher personnel and related expenses and depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by lower premises expenses. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expense increased to 10.4% from 8.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Research and development expense.
Research and development expense increased by $1.4 million, or 2.5%, to $58.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $56.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is due to higher personnel and related expenses, partially offset by lower lease expense. As a percentage of sales, research and development expense increased to 12.2% from 11.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
General and administrative expense.
General and administrative expense increased by $4.9 million, or 7.8%, to $67.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $62.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of higher personnel and related expenses and contingent compensation expense, partially offset by lower premises and legal expense. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense increased to 14.1% from 12.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Gain on sale of assets.
The gain on sale of assets of $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was related to the sales of a building and land in the U.S. and a building in the U.K.
Effect of exchange rates on net sales, gross profit and operating expenses.
We estimate that, if exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar had been the same as the comparable six-month period one year ago, which were on average euro 0.93, Japanese yen 152 and Chinese yuan 7.20, respectively, we would have expected net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to be $1.1 million higher, gross profit to be $0.7 million higher and total sales and marketing, research and development, and general and administrative expenses would have been $0.2 million higher.
Loss on foreign exchange.
We incurred a foreign exchange transaction loss of $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to a loss of $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our European subsidiaries have certain net assets denominated in U.S. dollars, and our Chinese subsidiary has certain net liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars. The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to loss from the appreciation of the euro, as compared to the U.S. dollar.
Interest income, net
. Interest income, net, was $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $27.0 million of income for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change in interest income, net, was due to a reduction in cash and investment balances, lower weighted average interest rates across our investment portfolio and geographic mix in the current period as compared to prior year rates.
Provision for income taxes.
Provision for income taxes was $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rat
e was 45.1% for the
six months ended June 30, 2025. This compares to the effective tax rate of 24.5% for the
six months ended June 30, 2024
. The decrease in tax expense was primarily due to a decrease of income before provision for income taxes for the
six months ended June 30, 2025
as compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by a discrete tax detriment for the
six months ended June 30, 2025
of $4.9 million tax primarily related to the increase in tax expense for equity-based compensation. This compares to a discrete tax detriment of $1,912 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related primarily to equity-based compensation expense reflected in financial statement income in excess of the deductions allowed for tax purposes, which was partially offset by a decrease in uncertain tax positions due to the conclusion of tax audits.
Net income.
Net income decreased by $33.9 million to a net income of $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net income of $44.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, our cash flows from operations and our existing lines of credit provide us with the financial flexibility to meet our liquidity and capital needs. We expect to continue making investments in capital expenditures, assess acquisition opportunities, repurchase shares of our stock in accordance with our repurchase program, carry out research and development and invest in resources to strengthen our organization. The extent and timing of such expenditures may vary from period to period. Our future long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors including our level of sales, the impact of the economic environment on our growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, expansion of global sales and marketing activities, government regulation including trade sanctions and tariffs, the timing and introductions of new products, the need to ensure access to adequate manufacturing capacity and the continuing market acceptance of our products. In the near term, we will incur capital expenditures related to the expansion of capacity outside of Russia and Belarus. As of June 30, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

At June 30, 2025, our committed credit line is with Bank of America N.A. in the amount of $200.0 million. Under the credit agreement, we are required to meet certain financial covenants, which are tested quarterly and include an interest coverage ratio and a net leverage ratio. The interest coverage covenant requires we maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense on all obligations that is at least 3.0 times. The net leverage covenant requires we maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio, which is the sum of all indebtedness for borrowed money on a consolidated basis, less cash and available marketable securities not classified as long-term investments in the U.S. in excess of $50 million up to a maximum of $500 million, to consolidated EBITDA that is less than 3.0 times. We were in compliance with the financial covenants as of June 30, 2025.
In addition to the financial covenants the credit facility includes additional customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants, cross default to certain other indebtedness, invalidity of any loan document, material judgments, bankruptcy and insolvency events and change of control, subject, in certain instances, to cure periods. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may elect to declare amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable.
The financial covenants in our loan documents may cause us to not make or to delay investments and actions that we might otherwise undertake because of limits on capital expenditures and amounts that we can borrow or lease. In the event that we do not comply with any one of these covenants, we would be in default under the loan agreement or loan agreements, which may result in acceleration of the debt, cross-defaults on other debt or a reduction in available liquidity, any of which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.
See Note 10, "Financing Arrangements" in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our facilities.
The following table presents cash flow activities:
Operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $96.9 million to $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $108.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in cash used by working capital and a decrease in cash provided by net income after adding back non-cash expenses. Our largest working capital items typically are inventory and accounts receivable. Items such as accounts payable to third parties, prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities are not as significant as our working capital investment in accounts receivable and inventory because of the amount of value added within IPG due to our vertically integrated structure. Accruals and payables for personnel costs including bonuses and income and other taxes payable are largely dependent on the timing of payments for those items.
The decrease in cash flow from operating activities in first half of 2025 when compared to the first half of 2024 primarily resulted from:
•
an increase in cash used by accounts receivable due to higher sales at the end of the first half of 2025 and timing of collections;
•
an increase in cash used by inventory as we manufactured more in the first half of 2025 compared to the first half of 2024 when we moderated our investments in inventory;
•
an increase in cash used by income and other taxes payable due to the timing of estimated tax payments made and refunds received from filing tax returns; and
•
a decrease in cash provided by net income after adjusting for non-cash operating activities, mainly due to lower revenues.
The decreases in cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2025 when compared to the first half of 2024 were partially offset by:
•
an increase in cash provided by accrued expenses and other liabilities due to an increase in cash provided by customer deposits, an increase in cash provided by personnel and earn-out accruals, and a decrease in cash used by deferred revenue, partially offset by an increase in cash used by lease liabilities; and
•
an increase in cash provided by accounts payable due to timing of payments.
Investing activities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $261.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $308.6 million in 2024. The cash used in investing activities in 2025 related to $222.0 million of net purchases of short-term investments and $40.2 million of cash used for capital expenditures. The cash provided by investing activities in 2024 related to $332.5 million of net proceeds of short-term investments and $28.3 million of cash provided by sales of property, plant and equipment; partially offset by $52.3 million of cash used for capital expenditures.
Financing activities.
Net cash used in financing activities was $34.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to net cash used of $210.2 million in 2024. The cash used in financing activities in 2025 primarily related to the purchase of treasury stock of $30.2 million and the net cash outflow from amounts disbursed in relation to shares withheld to cover employee income taxes due upon the vesting and release of restricted stock units of $4.3 million. The cash used in financing activities in 2024 primarily related to the purchase of treasury stock of $212.0 million.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of business, which consists primarily of interest rate risk associated with our cash and cash equivalents and foreign exchange rate risk.
Interest rate risk
. Certain interest rates are variable and fluctuate with current market conditions. Our investments have limited exposure to market risk. We maintain a portfolio of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consisting primarily of bank deposits, money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and U.S treasury and agency obligations. None of these investments have a maturity date in excess of one year. Because of the short-term nature of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
We are also exposed to market risk as a result of increases or decreases in the amount of interest expense we must pay on our borrowings on our bank credit facilities. Although our U.S. revolving line of credit has variable rates, we do not believe that a 10% change in market interest rates would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Exchange rates.
Due to our international operations, a significant portion of our net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, principally the euro and the Chinese yuan. Changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar versus the functional currencies of our subsidiaries affect the translated value and relative level of sales and net income that we report from one period to the next. In addition, our subsidiaries may have assets or liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency which results in foreign exchange transaction gains and losses due to changes in the value of the functional currency versus the currency the assets and liabilities are denominated in. The loss on foreign exchange transactions totaled $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a loss of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Management attempts to minimize these exposures by partially or fully off-setting foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at our subsidiaries that operate in different functional currencies. The effectiveness of this strategy can be limited by the volume of underlying transactions at various subsidiaries and by our ability to accelerate or delay inter-company cash settlements. As a result, we are unable to create a perfect offset of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
At June 30, 2025, our material foreign currency exposure is net U.S. dollar denominated assets at subsidiaries where the euro is the functional currency and U.S. dollar denominated liabilities where the Chinese yuan is the functional currency. The net U.S. dollar denominated assets are comprised of cash, third party receivables and inter-company receivables offset by third party and inter-company payables denominated in U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar denominated liabilities are comprised of inter-company payables. A 5% change in the relative exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the euro as of June 30, 2025 applied to the net U.S. dollar asset balances, would result in a foreign exchange gain of $2.2 million if the U.S. dollar appreciated and a $2.3 million foreign exchange loss if the U.S. dollar depreciated. A 5% change in the relative exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the Chinese yuan as of June 30, 2025 applied to the net U.S. dollar liabilities balances, would result in a foreign exchange loss of $1.4 million if the U.S. dollar appreciated and a $1.5 million foreign exchange gain if the U.S. dollar depreciated.
In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency translation risk for those subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar as changes in the value of their functional currency relative to the U.S. dollar affect the translated amounts of our assets and liabilities. Changes in the translated value of assets and liabilities due to changes in functional currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar result in foreign currency translation adjustments that are a component of other comprehensive income or loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Foreign currency derivative instruments can also be used to hedge exposures and reduce the risks of certain foreign currency transactions; however, these instruments provide only limited protection and can carry significant cost. We have no foreign currency derivative instruments as of June 30, 2025. We will continue to analyze our exposure to currency exchange
rate fluctuations and may engage in financial hedging techniques in the future to attempt to minimize the effect of these potential fluctuations. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our financial results in the future.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Information with respect to this item may be found in Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies" in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you
should carefully consider the factors discussed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of Part II of the Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. We may also face other risks and uncertainties that are not presently known, are not currently believed to be material, or are not identified in our Annual Report or Quarterly Reports because they are common to all businesses.
