NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2025
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Novanta Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, referred to as “Novanta”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a leading global supplier of core technology solutions that give medical and advanced industrial original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) a competitive advantage. Novanta combines deep proprietary technology expertise and competencies in precision medicine, precision manufacturing, robotics and automation, and advanced surgery with a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. This enables Novanta to engineer core components and sub-systems that deliver extreme precision and performance, tailored to the customers' demanding applications.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the instructions to Form 10-Q and the provisions of Regulation S-X pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted. The interim consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and accruals of a normal and recurring nature necessary to fairly state the results of the interim periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any future periods.
The Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared for each quarterly period ending on the Friday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, with the exception of the fourth quarter which always ends on December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which such revisions are deemed to be necessary. The Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience, current conditions, and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The following table provides a brief description of recent Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”):
Standard
Description
Effective Date
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.”
ASU 2023-06 clarifies or improves disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics, which allow users to easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements with those entities that were not previously subject to such requirements and align the requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification with the SEC’s regulations.
The effective date for each amendment in ASU 2023-06 will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-06 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

Description
Effective Date
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) -Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures."
ASU 2023-09 provides more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid.
The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted.
The amendments in this update affects financial statement disclosure only and, as a result, will have no impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
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 improves financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at both interim and annual reporting periods.
The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
ASU 2024-03 affects financial statement disclosure only and, as a result, will have no impact on results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”
ASU 2025-06 eliminates references to prescriptive software development stages and requires capitalization of internal-use software costs once management commits funding and project completion is probable, while also updating disclosure requirements to align with Property, Plant, and Equipment guidance.
The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
2. Revenue
The Company accounts for its revenue transactions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of control over goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company recognizes revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the customer. The transfer of control generally occurs upon shipment when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. The vast majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of distinct products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for such products, which is generally at contractually stated prices. Sales taxes and value added taxes collected concurrently with revenue generating activities are excluded from revenue.
Performance Obligations
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time, upon shipment, rather than over time.
At the request of its customers, the Company may perform professional services, generally for the maintenance and repair of products previously sold to those customers and for engineering services. Professional services are typically short in duration and aggregate to less than
3
%
of the Company’s consolidated revenue. Revenue is typically recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer upon completion of professional services. These services generally involve a single distinct performance obligation. The consideration expected to be received in exchange for such services is normally the contractually stated amount.
The Company occasionally sells separately priced non-standard/extended warranty services or preventative maintenance plans with the sale of products. The transfer of control over the service plans is over time. The Company recognizes the related revenue ratably over the terms of the service plans. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on its
7
NOVANTA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2025
(Unaudited)
relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices are generally determined based on the prices charged to customers or using the expected cost plus a margin.
Shipping & Handling Costs
The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities that occur after the transfer of control over the related goods as fulfillment activities rather than performance obligations. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recorded in cost of revenue at the time of transfer of control.
Warranties
The standard warranty periods for the Company’s products are typically
12 months
to
36 months
. The Company recognizes estimated liabilities associated with standard warranty periods for its products in accordance with the provisions of ASC 450, “Contingencies,” as the Company has the ability to ascertain the likelihood of the liabilities and can reasonably estimate the amount of the liabilities.
A provision for the estimated cost related to standard warranties is recorded as cost of revenue at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate of the costs to service the warranty obligations is based on historical experience and expectations of future conditions. To the extent that the Company’s experience in warranty claims or costs associated with servicing those claims differ from the original estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liabilities are recorded at that time, with offsetting adjustments to cost of revenue.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
The Company expenses incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the expected amortization period is typically one year or less.
These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a financing component because the transfer of a promised good to a customer and the customer’s payment for that good are typically one year or less.
The Company does not disclose the value of the remaining performance obligation for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and advance payments from customers, including amounts that are refundable. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. As of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024, contract liabilities were
$
8.2
million
and $
5.9
million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Th
e increase in the contract liability balance during the nine months ended September 26, 2025 is primarily due to cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, partially offset by
$
3.0
million
of revenue recognized during the period that was included in the contract liability balance as of December 31, 2024.

3. Business Combinations
On
April 8, 2025
, the Company acquired
100
% of the outstanding stock of Keonn Technologies, S.L. (“Keonn”) pursuant to the terms of a Share Purchase Agreement.
At the closing date, Keonn became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Keonn is a manufacturer of Radio-Frequency Identification (“RFID”) solutions, based in Barcelona, Spain.
The acquisition of Keonn has been accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805,
Business Combinations
(“ASC 805”). Under ASC
805,
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include results of operations for Keonn from the April 8, 2025
acquisition date.
Consideration Transferred
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Keonn for estimated total purchase consideration of $
75.1
million, which consists of:
Cash consideration
$
68,336
Deferred consideration
2,192
Estimated fair value of contingent consideration
4,537
Estimated total purchase consideration
$
75,065
Contingent consideration represents additional payments that the Company may be required to make in the future, between €
0
and €
20.0
million
(approximately $
21.9
million as of the acquisition date), depending on the
achievement of specified revenue targets by Keonn during fiscal years 2025 through 2027, as well as maintaining certain minimum gross margin targets during the applicable periods. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation model in an option pricing framework at the acquisition date, whereby a range of possible scenarios were simulated. Refer to Note 6 for additional information on the valuation assumptions utilized in the Monte Carlo simulation. Deferred consideration is related to a purchase price holdback and customary closing and net working capital adjustments which will be resolved within four years of the acquisition date.
The liabilities for contingent and deferred consideration are included in other current and long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, based on their respective settlement dates. These liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period until related contingencies are resolved.

Allocation of Purchase Price
The purchase price is allocated based upon a valuation of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were based on valuations using an income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method for customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty method for developed technologies and trade name. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, discount rates, technology obsolescence curves, and EBITDA margins. The Company’s estimates and assumptions in determining the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities are subject to change within the measurement period (up to
one year
from the acquisition date) as a result of additional information to be obtained with regard to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Based upon the Company’s preliminary valuation, the purchase price for Keonn was allocated as follows (in thousands):

The purchase price allocation is preliminary as the Company is in the process of collecting additional information. The estimated purchase price allocation previously disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 27, 2025 was revised during the third quarter of 2025 as new information was received and analyzed resulting in an increase in identifiable intangible assets of $
0.9
million, a decrease in goodwill of $
1.0
million, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $
0.2
million.

The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in $
33.2
million of identifiable intangible assets and $
43.2
million
of goodwill. As the Keonn acquisition was structured as a stock acquisition for income tax purposes, the goodwill is not deductible. The goodwill recorded represents the anticipated incremental value of future cash flows potentially attributable to: (i) Keonn’s ability to grow the business with existing and new customers, including leveraging the Company’s customer base; (ii) Keonn’s ability to grow
10

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the
business through new product introductions; and (iii) cost improvements due to the integration of Keonn’s operations into the Company’s existing infrastructure.
The operating results of Keonn were included in the Company's results of operations beginning on April 8, 2025. Keonn contributed revenues of
$
19.9
million and profit before income taxes of $
1.0
million to the Company's operating results for the
nine months ended September 26, 2025. The profit before income taxes from Keonn for the period from the acquisition date through September 26, 2025
included amortization of purchased intangible assets of $
3.7
million.
The pro forma financial information reflecting the operating results of Keonn, as if it had been acquired as of January 1, 2024, would not differ materially from the operating results of the Company as reported for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Acquisition Costs
Acquisition costs are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred and included in restructuring, acquisition and related costs in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition-related costs for Keonn were $
2.1
million for the
nine months ended September 26, 2025

5. Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Fully vested restricted stock units and deferred stock units granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors are included in the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
For diluted earnings per common share, the denominator includes the dilutive effect of outstanding common share equivalents. The dilutive effects of outstanding common share equivalents, including outstanding service-based restricted stock units, stock options and performance-based restricted stock units, are determined using the treasury stock method. Performance-based restricted stock units are considered contingently issuable shares, the vesting of which may be based on achievement of specified company financial performance metrics (“attainment-based PSUs”), certain market conditions (“market-based PSUs”) or a hybrid of company financial performance metrics and market conditions (“hybrid PSUs”). The dilutive effects of market-based PSUs are included in the weighted average common share calculation based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable as of the end of the reporting period, assuming the end of the reporting period is also the end of the performance period. The dilutive effects of attainment-based and hybrid PSUs are included in the weighted average common share calculation based on the cumulative achievement against the performance targets only when the performance targets have been achieved as of the end of the reporting period.

6. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:
•
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets which the Company can access
•
Level 2: Observable inputs other than those described in Level 1
•
Level 3: Unobservable inputs
Current Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which represent assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.
Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company addresses market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as a part of its strategy to manage exposures related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is reported either in other current assets or in other current liabilities as of the end of the reporting period.

Contingent Considerations
On April 8, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Keonn. Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the former shareholders of Keonn (the “Sellers”) are eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of specified revenue targets by Keonn during fiscal years 2025 through 2027. Payment of this contingent consideration is also subject to Keonn maintaining certain minimum gross margin percentage during the applicable periods. The undiscounted range of potential contingent consideration is between €
0
and €
20.0
million
(approximately $
21.9
million). I
f the performance conditions are met, the contingent consideration will be payable annually, with the first payment due in the second quarter of 2026. As of the acquisition date, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration wa
s €
4.1
million (approximately $
4.5
million), determin
ed using the Monte Carlo valuation method. This amount was recorded as part of the purchase price. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in restructuring, acquisition, and related costs until the liability is fully settled. There have been
no
changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration since the acquisition date.

7. Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company addresses market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain foreign currency transaction exposures from future settlement of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities as of the end of a period. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Gains and losses on these derivative financial instruments substantially offset losses and gains on the underlying hedged exposures and are included in foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Furthermore, the Company manages its exposures to counterparty risks on derivative instruments by entering into contracts with a diversified group of major financial institutions and by actively monitoring outstanding positions.
As of September 26, 2025, the aggregate notional amount and fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was
$
50.2
million and a net loss of less than $
0.1
million
, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate notional amount and fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts was $
187.4
million and a net loss of $
0.2
million, respectively.
The Company recognized an aggregate ne
t loss of $
0.4
million and $
2.2
million f
or the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025
and an aggregate net gain of $
2.1
million and $
4.3
million for the three and
nine months ended September 27, 2024
. These amounts were included in foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of operations.
8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for a business combination exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. The Company tests its goodwill balances for impairment annually as of the beginning of the second quarter or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that an impairment may exist. The Company performed the most recent annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test as of the beginning of the second quarter of
2025 and noted
no
impairment.

10. Debt
Outstanding debt consisted of the following (in thousands):
On June 27, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with existing and new lenders for an aggregate credit facility of approximately $
1.0
billion, consisting of a €
65.3
million euro-denominated
5
-year term loan facility (the “Euro Term Loans”), a $
75.0
million U.S. Dollar denominated
5
-year term loan facility (the “U.S. Term Loans” and together with the Euro Term Loans, the “Term Loans”), and an $
850.0
million
5
-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Euro Term Loans and the U.S. Term Loans, collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities mature in
June 2030
and include an uncommitted “accordion” feature pursuant to which the commitments thereunder may be increased by an additional $
350.0
million in aggregate, subject to the satisfacti
on of certain customary conditions. In connection with the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company capitalized $
4.3
million deferred financing costs and recorded a $
0.4
million loss fro
m the write-off of a portion of the unamortized deferred financing costs.
The outstanding principal balance under the Euro Term Loans is payable in
quarterly
installments
of €
1.1
million (approximately $
1.3
million), beginning in September 2025, with the remaining balance due upon maturity. The U.S. Term Loans require
quarterly
installment payments of $
0.5
million starting in September 2026, increasing to $
0.9
million beginning in September 2027, with the remaining balance also due upon maturity. The Company may make additional principal payments at any time, which will reduce the next scheduled installment. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility may be repaid at any time prior to maturity. The Company made principal payments of €
3.4
million ($
3.8
million) towards the Term Loans and $
45.4
million towards its Revolving Facility during the
nine months ended September 26, 2025.
The Company is required to satisfy certain financial and non-financial covenants under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 26, 2025.
Liens
The Company’s obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities are secured, on a senior basis, by a lien on substantially all of the assets of Novanta Inc.

Fair Value of Debt
As of September 26, 2025
and December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the Company’s debt approximated its fair value based on current rates available to the Company for debt of similar maturities. The fair value of the Company’s debt is classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.
11. Leases
Most leases held by the Company expire between
2025
and
2037
. In the U.K., where longer lease terms are more common, the Company has a land lease that extends through
2078
.
Certain leases include one or more options to renew the lease terms from
one
to
ten years
and options to terminate the leases within
one year
.
The exercise of lease renewal or termination options is at the Company’s sole discretion; therefore, the majority of renewal options to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of being exercised. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options and includes the renewal periods in the lease term when they are reasonably certain of being exercised. The depreciable lives of the right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements are limited to the expected lease terms.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have generally been issued with vesting periods ranging from
zero
to
four years
and vest based solely on service conditions. Accordingly, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company reduces the compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate which is based on anticipated forfeitures and historical forfeiture experience.

Performance Stock Units
The Company typically grants PSUs that are based on the Company’s financial performance metrics, market conditions, or a hybrid of company financial performance metrics and market conditions. These PSUs generally cliff vest on the first day following the end of the specified performance period.
The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of attainment-based PSUs is determined based on the Company’s financial performance metrics over the specified performance period against the targets established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range of
zero
to
200
% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense ratably over the performance period based on the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting at the end of the specified performance period. This probability assessment is performed quarterly and the cumulative effect of a change in the estimated compensation expense, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the period in which such determination is made.
The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of market-based PSUs is determined based on the relative market performance of the Company’s common shares compared to the Russell 2000 Index over the specified performance period using a payout formula established by the Company’s Board of Directors at the time of grant and will be in the range of
zero
to
200
% of the target number of shares. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense based on the fair value of the market-based PSUs, determined using the Monte-Carlo valuation method as of the grant date, on a straight-line basis from the grant date to the end of the specified performance period. Compensation expense on market-based PSUs will not be affected by the number of shares that will ultimately vest at the end of the specified performance period.
The number of common shares to be issued upon settlement following vesting of PSU awards that are based on the achievement of a hybrid of company financial performance metrics and market conditions (“Hybrid PSUs”) is determined based on the Company's financial performance metrics achieved over the specified performance period against the targets established by the Company's Board of Directors at the time of grant and a market-based multiplier based on the percentile ranking of the relative market performance of the Company’s common shares compared to the Russell 2000 Index companies. The payout will be in the range of
zero
to
260
%
of the target number of shares. The Company determines the fair value of these Hybrid PSUs using the Monte-Carlo valuation method as of the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with the Hybrid PSUs ratably over the performance period based on the fair value of the PSUs as of the grant date and the number of shares that are deemed probable of vesting based on the estimated achievement of the pertinent company financial performance metrics at the end of the specified performance period. The probability assessment is performed quarterly and the cumulative effect of a change in the

13. Income Taxes
The Company determines its estimated annual effective tax rate at the end of each interim period based on full year forecasted pre-tax income and facts known at that time. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date pre-tax income at the end of each interim period with the cumulative effect of any changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate being recorded in the period in which the changes are determined. The tax effect of significant unusual items is reflected in the period in which they occur. Since the Company is incorporated in Canada, it is required to use Canada’s statutory tax rate of
29.0
% in the determination of the estimated annual effective tax rate.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance on balances of certain U.S. state net operating losses, credits and certain non-U.S. tax attributes that the Company has determined are not more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance is required when, based upon an assessment of various factors, including recent operating loss history, anticipated future earnings, and prudent and reasonable tax planning strategies, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In conjunction with the Company’s ongoing review of its actual results and anticipated future earnings, the Company continuously reassesses the possibility of adding a new or additional valuation allowance or releasing the valuation allowance currently in place on its deferred tax assets.
The Company’s effective tax rate of
32.4
% for the three months ended September 26, 2025 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of
29.0
% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated U.S. tax benefits for Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) and R&D tax credits, and U.K. patent box deductions; partially offset by various non-deductible transaction-related and compensation expenses and uncertain tax position accruals.
The Company’s effective tax rate of
24.2
% for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of
29.0
% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated U.S. tax benefits for FDII and R&D tax credits, and U.K. patent box deductions; partially offset by various non-deductible transaction-related and compensation expenses and uncertain tax position accruals.
The Company’s effective tax rate of
20.8
% for the three months ended September 27, 2024 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of
29.0
% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for FDII, U.K. patent box deductions and R&D tax credits, partially offset by disallowed compensation deductions, uncertain tax position accruals, and Pillar Two inclusion.
The Company’s effective tax rate of
18.3
% for the nine months ended September 27, 2024 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of
29.0
% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for FDII, U.K. patent box deductions, R&D tax credits, and windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards, partially offset by disallowed compensation deductions, uncertain tax position accruals, and Pillar Two inclusion. For the nine months ended September 27, 2024, the tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards had a benefit of
3.1
% on the Company’s effective tax rate.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R.1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”). The Act contains numerous income tax provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and modifications to the international tax framework. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company continues to evaluate the implications of the Act on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has included an estimated impact of items affecting its income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025
.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Commitments
There have been no material changes to the Company’s purchase commitments since December 31, 2024.
Legal Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure on a quarterly basis. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best
25
NOVANTA INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 26, 2025
(Unaudited)
information available as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to any pending claims and litigation and may revise its estimates. When a material loss contingency is considered reasonably possible but not probable, the Company does not record a liability, but instead discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, and an estimate of the potential loss or a range of potential losses, if such an estimate can be reasonably made. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. The Company does not believe that the outcome of outstanding claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements but there can be no assurance that any such claims, or any similar claims, would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of its operations, the Company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to counterparties in transactions such as business dispositions, sale of assets, sale of products, and operating leases. Additionally, the by-laws of the Company require it to indemnify certain current or former directors, officers, and employees of the Company against expenses incurred by them in connection with each proceeding in which they are involved as a result of serving or having served in certain capacities. Indemnification is not available with respect to a proceeding as to which it has been adjudicated that the person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that the action was in the best interests of the Company. Certain of the Company’s officers and directors are also a party to indemnification agreements with the Company. These indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that the director or officer shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection with any proceeding by reason of their relationship with the Company. In addition, the indemnification agreements provide for the advancement of expenses incurred by such director or officer in connection with any proceeding covered by the indemnification agreement, subject to the conditions set forth therein and to the extent such advancement is not prohibited by law. The indemnification agreements also set out the procedures for determining entitlement to indemnification, the requirements relating to notice and defense of claims for which indemnification is sought, the procedures for enforcement of indemnification rights, the limitations on and exclusions from indemnification, and the minimum levels of directors and officers liability insurance to be maintained by the Company.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The MD&A contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our future financial results and financial condition; our belief that the Purchasing Managers Index (“PMI”) may provide an indication of the impact of general economic conditions on our sales into the advanced industrial end market; our strategy; drivers of revenue growth and our growth expectations in various markets; management’s plans and objectives for future operations, expenditures and product development, and investments in research and development; business prospects; potential of future product releases and expansion of our product and service offerings; industry trends; market conditions; our competitive positions; changes in economic and political conditions, including impacts from tariffs, supply chain disruptions and constraints and inflationary pressures; changes in accounting principles; changes in actual or assumed tax liabilities and tax law; expectations regarding tax exposures; anticipated reinvestment of future earnings, share repurchases and dividend policy; anticipated expenditures in regard to our benefit plans; future acquisitions and integration and anticipated benefits from acquisitions and dispositions; anticipated economic benefits and expected costs of restructuring programs; our ability to repay our indebtedness; our intentions regarding the use of cash; expectations regarding legal and regulatory requirements, including environmental requirements, and our compliance thereto; and other statements that are not historical facts.
Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including, but not limited to, the following: economic and political conditions and the effects of these conditions on our customers’ businesses, capital expenditures and level of business activities; our dependence upon our ability to respond to fluctuations in product demand; our ability to continuously innovate, to introduce new products in a timely manner, and to manage transitions to new product innovations effectively; customer order timing and other similar factors; disruptions or breaches in security of our or our third-party providers’ information technology systems; risks associated with our operations in foreign countries; our increased use of outsourcing in foreign countries; risks associated with increased outsourcing of components manufacturing; our exposure to increased tariffs, trade restrictions or taxes on our products; our ability to contain or reduce costs; violations of our intellectual property rights and our ability to protect our intellectual property against infringement by third parties; risk of losing our competitive advantage; our failure to successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions into our business; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; our restructuring and realignment activities; product defects or problems integrating our products with other vendors’ products; disruptions in the supply of certain key components and other goods from our suppliers; our failure to accurately forecast component and raw material requirements leading to additional costs and significant delays in shipments; production difficulties and product delivery delays or disruptions; our exposure to extensive medical device regulations, which may impede or hinder the approval, certification or sale of our products and, in some cases, may ultimately result in an inability to obtain approval or certification of certain products or may result in the recall or seizure of previously approved or certified products; potential penalties for violating foreign and U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations; impact of healthcare industry cost containment and healthcare reform measures; changes in governmental regulations related to our business or products; actual or perceived failures to comply with applicable data protection, privacy and security laws, regulations, standards, and other requirements; our failure to implement new information technology systems successfully; changes in foreign currency rates; our failure to realize the full value of our intangible assets; our reliance on original equipment manufacturer customers; the loss of sales, or significant reduction in orders from, any major customers; increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, customers, governments and other stakeholders and third parties with respect to corporate sustainability policies and practices; the effects of climate change and related regulatory responses; our exposure to the credit risk of some of our customers and in weakened markets; being subject to U.S. federal income taxation even though we are a non-U.S. corporation; changes in tax laws and fluctuations in our effective tax rates; any need for additional capital to adequately respond to business challenges or opportunities and repay or refinance our existing indebtedness, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; our existing indebtedness limiting our ability to engage in certain activities; volatility in the market price for our common shares; and our failure to maintain appropriate internal controls in the future. Other important risk factors that could affect the outcome of the events set forth in these statements and that could affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition are discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 under the heading “Risk Factors”, as updated in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “future,” “plans,” “aims,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “continues,” and similar words or expressions (as well as other words or expressions referencing future events, conditions, or circumstances) identify forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Management and the Company disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any such forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in its expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, except as required under applicable law.

Accounting Period
The interim consolidated financial statements of Novanta Inc. (the “Company”, “Novanta”, “we”, “us”, “our”) are prepared for each quarterly period ending on the Friday closest to the end of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter which always ends on December 31.
Business Overview
We are a leading global supplier of core technology solutions that give medical and advanced industrial original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) a competitive advantage. We combine deep proprietary technology expertise and competencies in precision medicine, precision manufacturing, robotics and automation, and advanced surgery with a proven ability to solve complex technical challenges. This enables us to engineer core components and sub-systems that deliver extreme precision and performance, tailored to our customers' demanding applications.
Reportable Segments
Reporting Segment Change
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we updated our organizational structure and re-aligned our financial reporting structure under two reportable segments: Automation Enabling Technologies and Medical Solutions. Prior to the reorganization, our historical reportable segments were: Precision Medicine and Manufacturing, Robotics and Automation, and Medical Solutions. Prior period segment financial information has been recast to align with the new reportable segments.
We operate in two reportable segments: Automation Enabling Technologies and Medical Solutions. The reportable segments and their principal activities are summarized below.
Automation Enabling Technologies
The Automation Enabling Technologies segment designs, manufactures and markets laser beam delivery components, laser beam delivery solutions, CO
2
lasers, solid state lasers, ultrafast lasers, optical and inductive encoders, precision motors, integrated stepper motors, servo drives, motion control solutions, intelligent robotic end-of-arm technology solutions, and air bearing spindles to customers worldwide. The segment serves highly demanding applications for advanced industrial processes, advanced industrial and medical robotics, other medical and life science automation applications, and medical laser procedures such as ophthalmology applications. The vast majority of the segment’s product offerings are sold to OEM customers. The segment sells the majority of these products directly, utilizing a highly technical sales force, and also sells some indirectly, through resellers and distributors.
Medical Solutions
The Medical Solutions segment designs, manufactures and markets a range of medical grade technologies, including medical insufflators and endoscopic pumps and related disposables, laser beam delivery solutions, video processing and streaming and capture, machine vision technologies, radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technologies, barcode identification technologies, thermal chart recorders, light and color measurement technologies, touch panel displays, and advanced motion control solutions. The vast majority of the segment’s product offerings are sold to OEM customers. The segment sells the majority of these products directly, utilizing a highly technical sales force, and also sells some indirectly, through resellers and distributors.
End Markets
We primarily operate in two end markets: the medical market and the advanced industrial market.
Medical Market
For the nine months ended September 26, 2025, the medical market accounted for approximately 53% of our revenue. Revenue from our products sold to the medical market is generally affected by hospital, life science, and other healthcare provider capital spending, growth rates of surgical procedures, changes in regulatory requirements and laws, demand level for life science automation technology, aggregation of purchasing by healthcare networks, changes in technology requirements, timing of OEM customers’ product development and new product launches, changes in customer or patient preferences, and general demographic trends.
31
Advanced Industrial Market
For the nine months ended September 26, 2025, the advanced industrial market accounted for approximately 47% of our revenue. Revenue from our products sold to the advanced industrial market is affected by a number of factors, including changing technology requirements and preferences of our customers, productivity or quality investments in a manufacturing environment, the financial conditions of our customers, changes in regulatory requirements and laws, and general economic conditions. We believe that the PMI on manufacturing activities specific to different regions around the world may provide an indication of the impact of general economic conditions on our sales into the advanced industrial market.
Strategy
Our strategy is to drive sustainable, profitable growth through short-term and long-term initiatives, including:
•
disciplined focus on our diversified business model of providing functionality to long life-cycle OEM customer platforms in attractive medical and advanced industrial niche markets;
•
improving our business mix to increase medical sales as a percentage of total revenue by:
-

Significant Events and Updates
Acquisition of Keonn Technologies, S.L.
On April 8, 2025, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Keonn Technologies, S.L. (“Keonn”), a Barcelona, Spain-based leader in Radio-Frequency Identification (“RFID”) solutions for a purchase price of €64.8 million ($71.0 million), net of cash acquired, including €4.1 million ($4.5 million) estimated fair value of contingent consideration and €2.0 million ($2.2 million) related to a purchase price holdback. The purchase includes up to €20.0 million ($21.9 million) in contingent consideration payable upon the achievement of certain revenue targets through December 2027. In addition, we have granted equity totaling €9.0 million ($9.9 million) to Keonn employees. Keonn is included in the Medical Solutions segment.
Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On June 27, 2025, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 31, 2019 (the “Third Agreement”). The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for an aggregate credit facility of approximately $1.0 billion, comprised of a €65.3 million euro-denominated 5-year term loan facility (the “Euro Term Loans”), a $75.0 million U.S. dollar denominated 5-year term loan facility (the “U.S. Term Loans”), and an $850.0 million 5-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Euro Term Loans and the U.S. Term Loans, collectively, the “Senior Credit
32
Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities mature in June 2030 and include an uncommitted “accordion” feature pursuant to which the commitments thereunder may be increased by an additional $350.0 million in aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions.
Business Environment
In recent years, the global economy has faced significant challenges, including inflation, supply chain disruptions, business slowdowns, labor shortages, and market volatility, and recently new and proposed tariffs announced by the U.S. Presidential Administration have introduced additional uncertainty. We address macroeconomic challenges by continuing to execute our strategy. There have been improvements in the supply chain with better on-time deliveries, and recent efforts have successfully addressed talent shortages. However, uncertainty remains about overall macroeconomic conditions due to geopolitical tensions and changes in trade policies.
Economic tensions and changes in trade policies, such as higher tariffs, retaliatory measures, renegotiated free trade agreements, changes in government funding, and the ongoing impact from prolonged inflationary pressures have impacted the global market for our products and the cost to manufacture.
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 26, 2025 Compared with the Three and Nine Months Ended September 27, 2024
Overview of Financial Results
Total revenue of $247.8 million for the three months ended September 26, 2025 increased $3.4 million, or 1.4%, from the prior year period primarily due to revenue from our current year acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in the Automation Enabling Technologies segment and a decrease in revenue in the Medical Solutions segment excluding the impact of current year acquisition. The net effect of our acquisition resulted in an increase in revenue of $8.4 million, or 3.4%. In addition, foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted our revenue by $4.4 million, or 1.8%, for the three months ended September 26, 2025.
Total revenue of $722.3 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 increased $11.1 million, or 1.6%, from the prior year period, primarily due to revenue from our current year acquisition and an increase in revenue in the Automation Enabling Technologies segment, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in the Medical Solutions segment excluding the impact of current year acquisition. The net effect of our acquisition resulted in an increase in revenue of $13.7 million, or 1.9%. In addition, foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted our revenue by $7.6 million, or 1.1%, for the nine months ended September 26, 2025.
Operating income of $21.8 million for the three months ended September 26, 2025 decreased $10.7 million, or 32.9%, from the prior year period. This decrease was attributable to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $7.1 million, an increase in restructuring, acquisition and related costs of $4.2 million, and an increase in research and development and engineering expenses of $0.8 million, partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $1.7 million.
Operating income of $69.2 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 decreased $14.7 million, or 17.5%, from the prior year period. This decrease was attributable to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $11.4 million, an increase in restructuring, acquisition and related costs of $9.5 million, and an increase in research and development and engineering expenses of $2.4 million, partially offset by an increase in gross profit of $8.7 million.
Basic earnings per common share (“Basic EPS”) of $0.30 for the three months ended September 26, 2025 decreased $0.23 from the prior year period. Diluted earnings per common share (“Diluted EPS”) of $0.30 for the three months ended September 26, 2025 decreased $0.23 from the prior year period. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in operating income.
Basic earnings per common share (“Basic EPS”) of $1.01 for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 decreased $0.32 from the prior year period. Diluted earnings per common share (“Diluted EPS”) of $1.01 for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 decreased $0.31 from the prior year period. The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in operating income and an increase in foreign exchange transaction losses, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense.

Interest Income (Expense), Net
Net interest expense was $6.0 million for the three months ended September 26, 2025, versus $8.1 million for the prior year period. The decrease in net interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average debt levels under our senior credit facilities and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate. The weighted average interest rate on our senior credit facilities was 5.32% during the three months ended September 26, 2025, versus 6.83% during the prior year period.
Net interest expense was $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025, versus $24.6 million for the prior year period. The decrease in net interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average debt levels under our senior credit facilities and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate. The weighted average interest rate on our senior credit facilities was 5.48% during the nine months ended September 26, 2025, versus 6.68% during the prior year period.
Foreign Exchange Transaction Gains (Losses), Net
Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) were less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 26, 2025 versus $(0.2) million for the prior year period.
Foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) were $(3.1) million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 and $(0.8) million for the prior year period. The increase in net foreign exchange transaction losses was primarily due to changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar against the British Pound and Euro, and realized losses on foreign currency contracts.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Net other expense was nominal for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025 and the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024.
37
Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2025 was 32.4%, versus 20.8% for the prior year period. Our effective tax rate of 32.4% for the three months ended September 26, 2025 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated U.S. tax benefits for Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) and R&D tax credits, and U.K. patent box deductions; partially offset by various non-deductible transaction-related and compensation expenses and uncertain tax position accruals.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2024 of 20.8% differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for FDII, U.K. patent box deductions and R&D tax credits, partially offset by disallowed compensation deductions, uncertain tax position accruals, and Pillar Two inclusion.
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 was 24.2%, versus 18.3% for the prior year period. Our effective tax rate of 24.2% for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated U.S. tax benefits for FDII and R&D tax credits, and U.K. patent box deductions; partially offset by various non-deductible transaction-related and compensation expenses and uncertain tax position accruals.
Our effective tax rate of 18.3% for the nine months ended September 27, 2024 differs from the Canadian statutory tax rate of 29.0% primarily due to the mix of income earned in jurisdictions with varying tax rates, estimated deductions for FDII, U.K. patent box deductions, R&D tax credits and windfall tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards, partially offset by disallowed compensation deductions, uncertain tax position accruals, and Pillar Two inclusion. For the nine months ended September 27, 2024, the tax benefits upon vesting of certain share-based compensation awards had a benefit of 3.1% on our effective tax rate.
On December 12, 2022, the EU member states agreed to implement the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar Two Model Rules. These rules, which impose a global corporate minimum income tax rate of 15%, have been enacted or introduced in proposed legislation in numerous countries worldwide, including many jurisdictions in which we operate. Additional countries are actively considering changes to their tax laws to adopt certain parts of the OECD’s proposals. We fall under the transitional safe harbor rules in the majority of jurisdictions in which we operate and are therefore not subject to Pillar Two global minimum tax in those jurisdictions. Where we cannot apply the safe harbor rules, we have estimated the impact of this minimum tax in our effective tax rate analysis. We continue to closely monitor the progression of legislative activities.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R.1 - One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”). The Act contains numerous income tax provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and modifications to the international tax framework. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We continue to evaluate the implications of the Act on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We included an estimated impact of items affecting our income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. Our primary ongoing cash requirements are funding operations, capital expenditures, investments in businesses, and repayment of our debt and related interest payments. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating and capital expenditure cash needs for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 12 months. The availability of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility provides another potential source of liquidity for any future capital expenditures and other liquidity needs. In addition, we have the ability to expand our borrowing capacity by up to $350.0 million by exercising the accordion option under our revolving credit agreement. We may also seek to raise additional capital, which could be in the form of bonds, convertible debt or preferred or common equity, to fund business development activities or other future investing cash requirements, subject to approval by the lenders in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). There is no assurance that such capital will be available on reasonable terms or at all.
Significant factors affecting the management of our ongoing cash requirements are the adequacy of available bank lines of credit and our ability to attract long term capital with satisfactory terms. The sources of our liquidity are subject to all of the risks of our business and could be adversely affected by, among other factors, risks associated with events outside of our control, such as economic consequences of geopolitical conflicts, monetary, fiscal, tax or trade policy changes in the U.S. and other countries and their impact on the global financial markets, a decrease in demand for our products, our ability to integrate current and future acquisitions,
38
deterioration in certain financial ratios, availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and other market changes in general. See “Risks Relating to Our Common Shares and Our Capital Structure” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Our cash requirements primarily consist of principal and interest payments associated with our Senior Credit Facilities (as defined below), operating and finance leases, purchase commitments, and pension obligations. Such contractual obligations are described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and to fund our operations may be dependent upon the operating income and the distribution of funds from our subsidiaries. However, as local laws and regulations and/or the terms of our indebtedness restrict certain of our subsidiaries from paying dividends and transferring assets to us, there is no assurance that our subsidiaries will be permitted to provide us with sufficient dividends, distributions or loans when necessary.
As of September 26, 2025, $58.0 million of our $89.2 million cash and cash equivalents was held by subsidiaries outside of Canada and the U.S.
Generally, our intent is to use cash held in these foreign subsidiaries to fund our local operations or acquisitions by those local subsidiaries and to pay down borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities. Approximately $162.9 million of our outstanding term loan and revolver borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities were held in our subsidiaries outside of Canada and the U.S. as of September 26, 2025. Additionally, we may use intercompany loans to address short-term cash flow needs for various subsidiaries.

On June 27, 2025, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), consisting of a €65.3 million euro-denominated 5-year term loan facility (the “Euro Term Loans”, a $75.0 million U.S. Dollar denominated 5-year term loan facility (the “U.S. Term Loans”), and an $850.0 million 5-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Euro Term Loans and the U.S. Term Loans, collectively, the “Senior Credit Facilities”). The Senior Credit Facilities mature in June 2030 and include an uncommitted “accordion” feature pursuant to which the commitments thereunder may be increased by an additional $350.0 million in aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions.
The term loan facilities require quarterly scheduled principal repayments of €1.1 million beginning in September 2025 (with respect to the Euro Term Loans), and $0.5 million beginning in September 2026, increasing to $0.9 million in September 2027 (with respect the U.S. Term Loans), with the remaining principal balance of the term loans due on June 27, 2030, if the maturity date of the term loan facility is not otherwise extended. We may make additional principal payments at any time, which will reduce the next quarterly installment payment due. We may pay down outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility with cash on hand and cash generated from future operations at any time.
As of September 26, 2025, we had $150.4 million term loans and $306.6 million revolver borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facilities. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging between zero and 0.75% per annum, determined by reference to the our consolidated leverage ratio, or SOFR, SONIA or EURIBOR, as applicable, plus a margin ranging between 1.00% and 1.75% per annum, determined by reference to our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, we are obligated to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility. As of September 26, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement denominated in Euro and U.S. dollars of $162.9 million and $294.1 million, respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that we believe are usual and customary for this type of agreement, including a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The following table summarizes these financial covenants and our compliance therewith as of September 26, 2025:

Share Repurchase Plans
Our Board of Directors may approve share repurchase plans from time to time. Under these repurchase plans, shares may be repurchased at our discretion based on the ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business, the market price of our common
39
shares, and general market conditions. Shares may also be repurchased through an accelerated share purchase agreement, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Repurchases may be made under certain SEC regulations, which would permit common shares to be repurchased when we would otherwise be prohibited from doing so under insider trading laws. While the share repurchase plans are generally intended to offset dilution from equity awards granted to our employees and directors, the plans do not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common shares. No time limit is typically set for the completion of the share repurchase plans, and the plans may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We expect to fund share repurchases through cash on hand and cash generated from operations.
In February 2020, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (the “2020 Repurchase Plan”) authorizing the repurchase of $50.0 million worth of common shares. Share repurchases have been made under the 2020 Repurchase Plan pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We repurchased 179 thousand shares under the 2020 Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $21.1 million and average price of $118.09 per share during the nine months ended September 26, 2025. We had $28.4 million available for share repurchases under the 2020 Repurchase Plan as of September 26, 2025.
In September 2025, our Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase plan (the “2025 Repurchase Plan”) authorizing the repurchase of an additional $200.0 million worth of common shares. The 2025 Repurchase Plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares. No time limit was set for the completion of the 2025 Repurchase Plan, and the plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time. No shares have been repurchased under the 2025 Repurchase Plan to date.

Operating Cash Flows
Cash provided by operating activities was $55.3 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025, versus $97.0 million for the prior year period. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 decreased from the prior year period primarily as a result of an increase in inventory and higher cash paid for income taxes.
Investing Cash Flows
Cash used in investing activities was $70.7 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025, primarily driven by $64.3 million of cash consideration (net of cash acquired) paid for our 2025 acquisition and $12.0 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $5.5 million of cash received from the sale of properties.
Cash used in investing activities was $206.1 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by $191.2 million of cash consideration (net of cash acquired) paid for our 2024 acquisition and $14.9 million for capital expenditures.
We expect to use an aggregate of approximately $15 million to $20 million in 2025 for capital expenditures related to investments in new property, plant and equipment for our existing businesses.
Financing Cash Flows
Cash provided by financing activities was $11.3 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2025, primarily driven by $72.8 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund our 2025 acquisition, partially offset by $49.2 million of term loan and revolving credit facility repayments, $20.2 million related to the repurchase of common shares and $7.7 million of payroll tax payments upon vesting of share-based compensation awards.
40
Cash provided by financing activities was $92.6 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2024, primarily driven by $198.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund our 2024 acquisition, partially offset by $96.0 million of term loan and revolving credit facility repayments and $8.9 million of payroll tax payments upon vesting of share-based compensation awards.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

ART II—OTHER INFORMATION
I
tem 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations but there can be no assurance that any such claims, or any similar claims, would not have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.
I
tem 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could adversely affect our business, financial conditions and future results. Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report.
Our results of operations could be adversely affected by economic and political conditions and the effects of these conditions on our customers’ businesses, capital expenditures and levels of business activities.
A large portion of our product sales are dependent on our customers’ need for increased capacity, productivity and cost saving initiatives, improved product quality and performance, and new investments. Weaknesses in our end markets could negatively impact our revenue and gross margin and consequently have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A severe and/or prolonged overall economic downturn or a negative or uncertain political climate could lead to weaknesses in our end markets and adversely affect our customers’ financial condition and the timing or levels of our customers’ capital expenditures or business activities. We have experienced significant cyclical end market fluctuations in the past. For example, diminished growth expectations, economic and political uncertainty in regions across the globe and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our customers’ financial condition and ability to maintain product order levels and reduced the demand for our products in 2020, and other pandemics and public health crises could have similar consequences. Political conditions, including new and changing laws or tariffs, regulations, government funding, executive orders and enforcement priorities, may impact customer budgets and create uncertainty about how such laws and regulations will be interpreted and applied, which may impact customer demand and adversely impact our business. For example, changes in the regulatory environment affecting life sciences, bioprocessing, and pharmaceutical companies, and reduced headcount and budget allocations to government agencies that fund research and development activities, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), U.S. National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), or targeted headcount reductions or cancellations of certain grants or contracts by the U.S. federal government, could adversely affect our business or results of operations. In addition, certain sub-segments of the advanced industrial market that we serve, including the microelectronics and industrial capital equipment sector, are cyclical and have historically experienced periods of oversupply, resulting in downturns in demand for capital equipment in which many of our products are used. It is difficult to predict the timing, length and severity of these downturns and their impact on our business. Further, our order levels or results of operations for a given period may not be indicative of order levels or results of operations for subsequent periods. For the foreseeable future, our operations will continue to depend upon industries that are subject to market cycles which, in turn, could adversely affect the market demand for our products.
We have also faced increases in inflationary conditions in materials and components. These inflationary conditions have caused us to increase prices; however, such price increases may not be accepted by our customers or may not adequately offset the increases in our costs, thereby negatively affecting our results of operations. Changes in global economic conditions, including inflationary conditions, could also shift demand for products or services for which we do not have competitive advantages. This could negatively affect the amount of business that we are able to obtain. In addition, if we are unable to successfully anticipate changes in economic and political conditions, we may be unable to effectively plan for and respond to those changes, and our business could be negatively affected.
