1. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared by XPEL, Inc. (“XPEL” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other interim period due to variability in customer purchasing patterns and seasonal, operating and other factors.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023 (the "Annual Report"). These condensed consolidated financial statements also should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section appearing in this report.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business - The Company is based in San Antonio, Texas and sells, distributes, and installs protective films and coatings, including automotive paint protection film, surface protection film, automotive and architectural window films and ceramic coatings. The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada, U.S.A. in October 2003.
Basis of Presentation - The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency for the Company is the United States ("U.S.") dollar. The assets and liabilities of each of its wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S dollars using the exchange rate at the end of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses from translations are recognized in foreign currency translation included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Segment Reporting - Management has concluded that XPEL's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM reviews the entire organization’s consolidated results as a whole on a monthly basis to evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions. Management views the Company’s operations and manages its business as one operating segment.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for expected credit losses and doubtful accounts of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.2 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowances by analyzing the aging of receivables, customer financial condition, historical collection experience, the value of any collateral and other economic and industry factors. Actual collections may differ from historical experience, and if economic, business or customer conditions deteriorate significantly, adjustments to these reserves may be required. When the Company becomes aware of factors that indicate a change in a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific reserve for credit losses. The Company had no significant accounts receivable concentration as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
Provisions and Warranties - We provide a warranty on the Company's products. Liability under the warranty policy is based on a review of historical warranty claims. Adjustments are made to the accruals based on actual claims data. The Company's liability for warranties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 0.4 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively. The following tables present a summary of the Company's accrued warranty liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. We adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2023 without material impact to our financial statements.

3. REVENUE
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods and services to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This is achieved through applying the following five-step model:
• Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
• Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
7
XPEL, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
• Determination of the transaction price
• Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
• Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from contracts with customers, whether formal or implied. Sales taxes collected from customers are remitted to the appropriate taxing jurisdictions and are excluded from sales revenue as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes, with the exception of taxes assessed during the procurement process of select inventories. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Revenues from product and services sales are recognized when control of the goods and services is transferred to the customer, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment to the customer or completion of the service. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments.
Based upon the nature of the products the Company sells, its customers have limited rights of return, and these rights are immaterial. Discounts provided by the Company to customers at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales at the time of the sale.
Warranty obligations associated with the sale of the Company's products are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the product’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract. Warranty expense is included in cost of sales.
We apply a practical expedient to expense direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Under its contracts with customers, the Company stands ready to deliver product upon receipt of a customer's purchase order. Accordingly, the Company has no performance obligations under its contracts until its customers submit a purchase order. The Company does not enter into commitments to provide goods or services that have terms greater than one year. In limited cases, the Company requires payment in advance of shipping product. Typically, product is shipped within a few days after prepayment is received. These prepayments are recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (Note 9). As the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of less than one year, the Company has applied the practical expedient under ASC 606 to omit disclosures regarding remaining performance obligations.
When the Company transfers goods or provides services to a customer, payment is due, subject to normal terms, and is not conditional on anything other than the passage of time. Typical payment terms range from due upon receipt to 30 days, depending on the type of customer and relationship. At contract inception, the Company expects that the period of time between the transfer of goods to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods will be less than one year, which is consistent with the Company’s standard payment terms. Accordingly, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606 to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. As such, these amounts are recorded as receivables and not contract assets.

REVOLVING FACILITIES
The Company has a revolving credit facility providing for secured revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $ 125.0 million, which is subject to the terms of a credit agreement dated April 6, 2023 (the "Credit Agreement"). As of September 30, 2023, no balance was outstanding under this agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance of $ 26.0 million under a prior credit agreement which was subsequently repaid and terminated.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at XPEL’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) Base Rate or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR. In addition to the applicable interest rate, the Credit Agreement includes a commitment fee ranging from 0.20 % to 0.25 % per annum for the unused portion of the aggregate commitment and an applicable margin ranging from 0.00 % to 0.50 % for Base Rate Loans and 1.00 % to 1.50 % for Adjusted Term SOFR Loans. At September 30, 2023, these rates were 8.5 % and 6.3 %, respectively. Both the margin applicable to the interest rate and the commitment fee are dependent on XPEL’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. The Credit Agreement's maturity date is April 6, 2026. All capitalized terms in this description of the credit facility that are not otherwise defined in this report have the meaning assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority perfected security interest, subject to certain permitted encumbrances, in all of XPEL’s material property and assets.
The terms of the Credit Agreement include certain affirmative and negative covenants that require, among other things, XPEL to maintain legal existence and remain in good standing, comply with applicable laws, maintain accounting records, deliver financial statements and certifications on a timely basis, pay taxes as required by law, and maintain insurance coverage, as well as to forgo certain specified future activities that might otherwise encumber XPEL and certain customary covenants. The Credit Agreement provides for two financial covenants, as follows.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, including: quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our line of credit, and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our line of credit, and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because of the near-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term nature and interest rates of the notes. The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt approximates fair value due to the interest rates being market rates.
The estimated fair value of debt is based on market quotes for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities.
The Company has contingent liabilities related to future internal performance milestones. The fair value of these liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation based on the probability and

timing of certain future payments under these arrangements. These liabilities are accounted for as Level 3 liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates noted below are as follows (dollars in thousands):
September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
Level 3:
Contingent Liabilities $ 1,085 $ 955
Increases in the fair value of level 3 contingent liabilities are reflected in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business activities, the Company may be contingently liable for litigation and claims with customers, suppliers and former employees. Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded in the accounts where required. Management also has determined that the likelihood of any litigation and claims having a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position is remote.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis provides material historical and prospective disclosures intended to enable investors and other users to assess the financial condition and results of operations of XPEL, Inc. ("we", "our", "us", “XPEL” or the “Company”). Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” in this report and under “Business," "Risk Factors,” "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in the Annual Report which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. In addition, the Company or others on the Company’s behalf may make forward-looking statements from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone conferences and/or web casts open to the public, in press releases or reports, on the Company’s internet web site, or otherwise. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report or expressed by the Company orally from time to time that address activities, events, or developments that the Company expects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, in particular, the statements about the Company’s plans, objectives, strategies, and
16

prospects regarding, among other things, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and business, and the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings. The Company has identified some of these forward-looking statements in this report with words like “believe,” “can,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” “forecast,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate,” “outlook,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other words and terms of similar meaning. The use of future dates is also an indication of a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements may be contained in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report, including under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting the Company and are subject to uncertainties and factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market as well as matters specific to the Company. These uncertainties and factors are difficult to predict, and many of them are beyond the Company’s control. Factors to consider when evaluating these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• Our business is highly dependent on automotive sales and production volumes.
• We currently rely on one distributor for sales of our products in China.
• A material portion of our business is in China, which may be an unpredictable market and is currently suffering trade tensions with the U.S.
• We must continue to attract, retain and develop key personnel.
• We could be impacted by disruptions in supply.
• Our accounting estimates and risk management processes rely on assumptions or models that may prove inaccurate.
• We must maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting to keep stockholder confidence.
• Our industry is highly competitive.
• Our North American market is currently designed for the public’s use of car dealerships to purchase automobiles which may dramatically change.
• Our revenue could be impacted by growing use of ride-sharing or other alternate forms of car ownership.
• We must be effective in developing new lines of business and new products to maintain growth.
• Any disruptions in our relationships with independent installers and new car dealerships could harm our sales.
• Our strategy related to acquisitions and investments could be unsuccessful or consume significant resources.
• We must maintain and grow our network of sales, distribution channels and customer base to be successful.
• We are exposed to a wide range of risks due to the multinational nature of our business.
• We must continue to manage our rapid growth effectively.
• We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business, including product liability and warranty claims.
• We must comply with a broad and complicated regime of domestic and international trade compliance, anti-corruption, economic, intellectual property, cybersecurity, data protection and other regulatory regimes.
• We may seek to incur substantial indebtedness in the future.
• Our growth may be dependent on the availability of capital and funding.
• Our Common Stock could decline or be downgraded at any time.
17

• Our stock price has been, and may continue to be, volatile.
• We may issue additional equity securities that may affect the priority of our Common Stock.
• We do not currently pay dividends on our Common Stock.
• Shares eligible for future sale may depress our stock price.
• Anti-takeover provisions could make a third party acquisition of our Company difficult.
• Our directors and officers have substantial control over us.
• Our bylaws may limit investors’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.
• The COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect our business.
• Our business faces unpredictable global, economic and business conditions, including the risk of inflation in various markets.
We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause estimates included in our financial statements to differ materially from actual results and those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf.  We have discussed these factors in more detail in in the Annual Report. These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on actual results. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. We advise our stockholders that they should (1) be aware that factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution when considering our forward-looking statements.
Company Overview
Founded in 1997 and incorporated in Nevada in 2003, XPEL has grown from an automotive product design software company to a global provider of after-market automotive products, including automotive surface and paint protection, headlight protection, and automotive window films, as well as a provider of complementary proprietary software. In 2018, we expanded our product offerings to include architectural window film (both commercial and residential) and security film protection for commercial and residential uses, and in 2019 we further expanded our product line to include automotive ceramic coatings.
XPEL began as a software company designing vehicle patterns used to produce cut-to-fit protective film for the painted surfaces of automobiles. In 2007, we began selling automotive surface and paint protection film products to complement our software business. In 2011, we introduced our ULTIMATE protective film product line which, at the time, was the industry’s first protective film with self-healing properties. The ULTIMATE technology allows the protective film to better absorb the impacts from rocks or other road debris, thereby fully protecting the painted surface of a vehicle. The film is described as “self-healing” due to its ability to return to its original state after damage from surface scratches. The launch of the ULTIMATE product catapulted XPEL into several years of strong revenue growth.
Our over-arching strategic philosophy stems from our view that being closer to the end customer in terms of our channel strategy affords us a better opportunity to efficiently introduce new products and deliver tremendous value which, in turn, drives more revenue growth for the Company. Consistent with this philosophy, we have executed on several strategic initiatives including:
2014
• We began our international expansion by establishing an office in the United Kingdom.
2015
18

• We acquired Parasol Canada, a distributor of our products in Canada.
2016
• We opened our XPEL Netherlands office and established our European headquarters
2017
• We continued our international expansion with the acquisition of Protex Canada Corp., or Protex Canada, a leading franchisor of automotive protective film franchises serving Canada
• We opened our XPEL Mexico office.
2018
• We launched our first product offering outside of the automotive industry, a window and security film protection for commercial and residential uses.
• We introduced the next generation of our highly successful ULTIMATE line, ULTIMATE PLUS.
• We acquired Apogee Corporation which led to formation of XPEL Asia based in Taiwan.
2019
• We were approved for the listing of our stock on Nasdaq trading under the symbol “XPEL”.
2020
• We acquired Protex Centre, a wholesale-focused paint protection installation business based in Montreal, Canada.
• We expanded our presence in France with the acquisition of certain assets of France Auto Racing.
• We expanded our architectural window film presence with the acquisition of Houston-based Veloce Innovation, a leading provider of architectural films for use in residential, commercial, marine and industrial settings.
2021
• We expanded our presence into numerous automotive dealerships throughout the United States with the acquisition of PermaPlate Film, LLC, a wholesale-focused automotive window film installation and distribution business based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
• We acquired five businesses in the United States and Canada from two sellers as a continuation of our acquisition strategy. These acquisitions allowed us to continue to increase our penetration into mid-range dealerships in the US and solidify our presence in Western Canada.
• We acquired invisiFRAME, Ltd, a designer and manufacturer of paint protection film patterns for bicycles, thus further expanding our non-automotive offerings.
2022
• We expanded our presence in Australia with the purchase of the paint protection film business of our Australian distributor.
Strategic Overview
XPEL continues to pursue several key strategic initiatives to drive continued growth. Our global expansion strategy includes establishing a local presence where possible, allowing us to better control the
19

delivery of our products and services. We also add locally-based regional sales personnel, leveraging local knowledge and relationships to expand the markets in which we operate.
We seek to increase global brand awareness in strategically important areas, including pursuing high visibility at premium events such as major car shows and high value placement in advertising media consumed by car enthusiasts, to help further expand the Company’s premium brand.
XPEL also continues to expand its delivery channels by acquiring select installation facilities in key markets and acquiring international partners to enhance our global reach. As we expand globally, we strive to tailor our distribution model to adapt to target markets. We believe this flexibility allows us to penetrate and grow market share more efficiently. Our acquisition strategy centers on our belief that the closer the Company is to its end customers, the greater its ability to drive increased product sales. During 2022, we acquired the paint protection film business of our Australian distributor and in May 2023, we acquired a dealership-focused installation business in the greater Boston area in furtherance of this objective.
We also continue to drive expansion of our non-automotive product portfolio. Our architectural window film segment continues to gain traction. We believe there are multiple uses for protective films and we continue to explore those adjacent market opportunities.
Trends and Uncertainties
Macroeconomic uncertainties persist in the U.S. and other parts of the world as inflation, rising interest rates and the changes in value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other major currencies have recently affected the economic environment and consumer behaviors. Additionally, while we have not experienced any material supply chain disruptions directly, the automobile industry has experienced component shortages, increased lead times, cost fluctuations and logistic constraints. Some or all of these could continue throughout the remainder of 2023. This economic uncertainty could impact vehicle sales in the U.S. or other parts of the world, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Risk Factors - “ We are highly dependent on the automotive industry. A prolonged or material contraction in the automotive sales and production volumes could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition” included in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, in the Annual Report.
On September 15, 2023, the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (“UAW”) initiated a strike at certain U.S. facilities causing work stoppages to some vehicle production and parts distribution activities. UAW reached a tentative settlement with each targeted automaker that still needs to be ratified by its members. If UAW members fail to ratify the new contract and a pro-longed strike or further work stoppages may continue which could have a material adverse impact on inventories at car dealerships which could, in turn, adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Risk Factors - “ We are highly dependent on the automotive industry. A prolonged or material contraction in the automotive sales and production volumes could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition” included in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, in the Annual Report.
While Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has not had a material direct impact on our business, the nature and degree of the effects of that conflict, as well as the other effects of the current business environment over time remain uncertain. See Risk Factors- “We are exposed to political, regulatory, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business” included in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, in the Annual Report.

Key Business Metric - Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management regularly monitors certain financial measures to track the progress of our business against internal goals and targets. We believe that the most important measure to the Company is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”).
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to our operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of our business that is not dependent on (i) the impact of our capitalization structure and (ii) items that are not part of our day-to-day operations. Management uses EBITDA (1) to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis, (2) to calculate incentive compensation for our employees, (3) for planning purposes including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget, (4) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies, and (5) to assess compliance with various metrics associated with the agreements governing our indebtedness. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating our operating performance in the same manner as management. We define EBITDA as net income plus (a) consolidated depreciation and amortization, (b) interest expense, net, and (c) income tax expense.
The following table is a reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (dollars in thousands):
(Unaudited) (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2023 2022 % Change 2023 2022 % Change
Net Income $ 13,656 $ 13,318 2.5 % $ 40,830 $ 33,024 23.6 %
Interest 85 391 (78.3) % 946 933 1.4 %
Taxes 3,490 3,226 8.2 % 10,553 8,302 27.1 %
Depreciation 1,199 890 34.7 % 3,229 2,486 29.9 %
Amortization 1,288 1,117 15.3 % 3,660 3,248 12.7 %
EBITDA $ 19,718 $ 18,942 4.1 % $ 59,218 $ 47,993 23.4 %

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. It is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to revenue or net income, as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Adjusted product revenue increased 16.0% versus the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For both the three and nine month periods, this growth was due to sustained demand for our various product lines.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 23.6% to $40.8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by operations was $38.5 million. We currently have $128.3 million of credit available ($125.0 million under the Credit Agreement and CAD $4.5 ($3.3 million) under our Canadian credit facility) to us under our committed credit facilities. We expect available cash, internally generated funds, and borrowings from our committed credit facilities to be sufficient to support working capital needs, capital expenditures (including acquisitions), and our debt service obligations. We are focused on continuing to generate positive operating cash to fund our operational and capital investment initiatives. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to operate for at least the next 12 months from the date of filing this report.
Operating activities . Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $38.5 million compared to $9.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Included in cash provided from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a one-time payment of $7.4 million related to an acquisition that closed in October (see Note 14). Excluding that payment, cash provided from operations would have been $45.9 million for the 2023 period. The increase was due mainly to growth in net income and changes in other working capital items including reductions in inventory purchases and increases in accounts payable due to payment cycle timing.
Investing activities . Cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $10.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $9.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This was due primarily to higher acquisition-related payments made during 2023.
Financing activities. Cash flows used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $26.2 million compared to cash flows provided by financing activities during the same period in the prior year of $0.7 million. This change was due primarily to repayments on our committed credit facility in 2023 as compared to borrowings in the prior year.
28

Debt and contingent obligations as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 totaled approximately $1.1 million and $27.0 million, respectively.
Future liquidity and capital resource requirements
We expect to fund ongoing operating expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, interest payments, tax payments, credit facility maturities, future lease obligations, and payments for other long-term liabilities with cash flow from operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. In the short-term, we are contractually obligated to make lease payments and make payments on contingent liabilities related to certain completed acquisitions in the event they are earned. In the long-term, we are contractually obligated to make lease payments, payments for contingent liabilities, and repayments of borrowings on our line of credit. We believe that we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing capacity, to cover our estimated short-term and long-term funding needs.
Credit Facilities
The Company has a revolving credit facility providing for secured revolving loans and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, no balance was outstanding under this agreement. Borrowings under this facility are subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at XPEL’s option, at a rate equal to either (a) Base Rate or (b) Adjusted Term SOFR. In addition to the applicable interest rate, the Credit Agreement includes a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.25% per annum for the unused portion of the aggregate commitment and an applicable margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.50% for Base Rate Loans and 1.00% to 1.50% for Adjusted Term SOFR Loans. At September 30, 2023, these rates were 8.5% and 6.3%, respectively. Both the margin applicable to the interest rate and the commitment fee are dependent on XPEL’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio. The Credit Agreement's maturity date is April 6, 2026. All capitalized terms in this description of the credit facility that are not otherwise defined in this report have the meaning assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority perfected security interest, subject to certain permitted encumbrances, in all of XPEL’s material property and assets.
The terms of the Credit Agreement include certain affirmative and negative covenants that require, among other things, XPEL to maintain legal existence and remain in good standing, comply with applicable laws, maintain accounting records, deliver financial statements and certifications on a timely basis, pay taxes as required by law, and maintain insurance coverage, as well as to forgo certain specified future activities that might otherwise encumber XPEL and certain customary covenants. The Credit Agreement provides for two financial covenants, as follows.
As of the last day of each fiscal quarter:
1. XPEL shall not allow its Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.50 to 1.00, and
2. XPEL shall not allow its Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio to be less than 3.00 to 1.00.

The Company also has a CAD $4.5 million revolving credit facility through a financial institution in Canada, as maintained by XPEL Canada Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of XPEL. This Canadian facility is utilized to fund the Company's working capital needs in Canada. This facility bears interest at HSBC Canada Bank’s prime rate plus 0.25% per annum and is guaranteed by the parent company. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no balance was outstanding on this line of credit.

Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates from the information provided in the Annual Report.

Related Party Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among any of our directors or executive officers. There are no arrangements or understandings between any two or more of our directors or executive officers, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management stockholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current Board. There are also no arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management stockholders that may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We have operations that expose us to currency risk in the British Pound Sterling, the Canadian Dollar, the Euro, the Mexican Peso, the New Taiwanese Dollar, and the Australian Dollar. Amounts invested in our foreign operations are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not currently hedge our exposure to potential foreign currency translation adjustments.
Borrowings under our revolving lines of credit are subject to market risk resulting from changes in interest rates related to our floating rate bank credit facilities. For such borrowings, a hypothetical 200 basis point increase in variable interest rates may result in a material impact to our financial statements. We do not currently have any derivative contracts to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. During each of the periods presented, we have not experienced a significant effect on our business due to changes in interest rates.
If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, 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) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such
30

evaluation, our CEO and CFO have each concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are made parties to actions filed or have been given notice of potential claims relating to the ordinary conduct of our business, including those pertaining to commercial disputes, product liability, patent infringement and employment matters.
While we believe that a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from any such future claims or potential claims is unlikely, given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, it is possible that an unforeseen future adverse ruling or unfavorable development could result in future charges that could have a material adverse impact. We do and will continue to periodically reexamine our estimates of probable liabilities and any associated expenses and receivables and make appropriate adjustments to such estimates based on experience and developments in litigation. As a result, the current estimates of the potential impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the proceedings and claims described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements could change in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
