Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(dollar figures in tables in thousands, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Selected Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. All dollar figures presented in tables in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except per share amounts. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for interim reporting. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 29, 2023.

Year End

We use a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. Our fiscal years ending December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 are each 52 weeks. References to 2024 and 2023 relate to the fiscal years then ended, respectively. The three-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023 are each 13 weeks. References to the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 relate to the three-month periods then ended.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management. Significant estimates include inventory valuation, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and impairment analysis for both definite‑lived intangible assets and goodwill.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits and financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, approximate fair value.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amount is recorded as net sales in our consolidated statements of operations.

Transaction price – In most of our contracts, prices are generally determined by a customer-issued purchase order and generally remain fixed over the duration of the contract. Certain contracts contain variable consideration, including early-payment discounts and rebates. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. Historically, we have not incurred significant costs to obtain a contract. All amounts billed to a customer relating to shipping and handling are classified as net sales, while all costs incurred by us for shipping and handling are classified as cost of sales.

Performance obligations – Substantially all of our performance obligations pertain to promised goods (“products”), which are primarily comprised of fluid delivery subsystems, weldments, and other components. Most of our contracts contain a single performance obligation and are generally completed within 12 months. Product sales are recognized at a point-in-time, upon "delivery," as such term is defined within the contract, which is generally at the time of shipment, as that is when control of the product has transferred. Products are covered by a standard assurance warranty, generally extended for a period of one to two years depending on the customer, which promises that delivered products conform to contract specifications. As such, we account for such warranties under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 460, Guarantees, and not as a separate performance obligation.

Contract balances – Accounts receivable represents our unconditional right to receive consideration from our customers. Accounts receivable are carried at invoice price less an estimate for doubtful accounts and estimated payment discounts. Payment terms vary by customer, but payment is generally due within 15 to 60 days of purchase. Historically, we have not experienced significant payment issues with our customers. We had no significant contract assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets in any of the periods presented herein.

Public Offering of Shares

In March 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering of 3.8 million ordinary shares, which included the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional ordinary shares. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $136.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discount of $1.59 per share and incremental offering expenses of $0.9 million.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The ASU requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This ASU is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness, and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. The ASU also requires a public entity to provide a qualitative description of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes as well as by individual jurisdictions. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Cloud Computing Implementation Costs

We capitalize implementation costs associated with hosting arrangements that are service contracts. These costs are recorded to prepaid expenses or other noncurrent assets. To date, these costs have been those incurred to implement a new company-wide enterprise resource planning system. The balance of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs, net of accumulated amortization, was $7.6 million and $8.1 million as of June 28, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively, and is included in other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The related amortization expense, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expense on our consolidated statements of operations, was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.


Note 4 – Intangible Assets

Definite‑lived intangible assets consist of the following:


	June 28, 2024

Total intangible assets	$	116,589	$	(59,301)	$	—	$	57,288


Note 5 – Leases

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease ROU assets and liabilities, we use the non-cancelable lease term plus options to extend that we are reasonably certain to take. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. As such, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

We lease facilities under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates during the years 2024 through 2031. In addition to base rental payments, we are generally responsible for our proportionate share of operating expenses, including facility maintenance, insurance, and property taxes. As these amounts are variable, they are not included in lease liabilities.

The components of lease expense are as follows:

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Income tax information for the periods reported is as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023
Income tax expense	$	942		$	12,620		$	1,855		$	12,085
Loss before income taxes	$	(4,170)		$	(8,036)		$	(12,246)		$	(8,576)
Effective income tax rate	(22.6)		%	(157.0)		%	(15.1)		%	(140.9)		%

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 28, 2024 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to taxes on foreign income that differs from the U.S. tax rate, including a tax holiday in Singapore from which we will benefit through 2026, and a valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, as well as taxes on foreign income that differ from the U.S. tax rate, including a tax holiday in Singapore from which we will benefit through 2026. We recorded an $11.1 million valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2023 based on an assessment of available positive and negative evidence, including an estimate of being in a three-year cumulative loss position in the U.S. by the end of 2023, projections of future taxable income, and other quantitative and qualitative information. We intend to maintain a full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient positive evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the valuation allowance.

The ending balance for the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was approximately $4.2 million as of June 28, 2024. The related interest and penalties were $0.5 million. The uncertain tax positions that are reasonably possible to decrease in the next twelve months are insignificant.

As of June 28, 2024, we were under examination by California tax authorities.


Note 7 – Employee Benefit Programs

401(k) Plan

We sponsor a 401(k) plan available to employees of our U.S.‑based subsidiaries. Participants may make salary deferral contributions not to exceed 50% of a participant’s annual compensation or the maximum amount otherwise allowed by law. Eligible employees receive a discretionary matching contribution equal to 50% of a participant’s deferral, up to an annual matching maximum of 4% of a participant’s annual compensation. Matching contributions were $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.


Note 8 – Long-Term Debt

Long‑term debt consists of the following:


	June 28, 2024		December 29, 2023
Term loan	$	131,250	$	135,000
Revolving credit facility	—		115,000
Total principal amount of long-term debt	131,250		250,000
Less unamortized debt issuance costs	(1,085)		(1,317)
Total long-term debt, net	130,165		248,683
Less current portion	(7,500)		(7,500)
Total long-term debt, less current portion, net	$	122,665	$	241,183

On October 29, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement, which includes a group of financial institutions as direct lenders under the agreement. The credit agreement includes a $150.0 million term loan facility and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility (together, “credit facilities”). Term loan principal payments of $1.9 million are due on a quarterly basis. The credit facilities mature, and amounts due thereunder become payable, on October 29, 2026.

Interest is charged at either the Base Rate or the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield (“BSBY”) Rate (as such terms are defined in the credit agreement) at our option, plus an applicable margin. The Base Rate is equal to the higher of i) the Prime Rate, ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, or iii) the BSBY Rate plus 1.00%. The BSBY Rate is equal to BSBY for a particular tenor matching the respective interest period. The applicable margin on Base Rate and BSBY Rate loans is 0.375% to 1.375% and 1.375% to 2.375% per annum, respectively, depending on our leverage ratio, which is based on trailing 12-month Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreement. We are also charged a commitment fee of 0.175% to 0.350%, depending on our leverage ratio, on the unused portion of our revolving credit facility. Base Rate interest payments and commitment fees are due quarterly. BSBY Rate interest payments are due on the last day of the applicable interest period, or quarterly for applicable interest periods longer than three months. As of June 28, 2024, our credit facilities bore interest under the BSBY rate option at 7.27%.


Note 9 – Share‑Based Compensation

The 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for grants of share‑based awards to employees, directors, and consultants. Awards may be in the form of stock options (“options”), tandem and non‑tandem stock appreciation rights, restricted share awards or restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance awards, and other share‑based awards. Forfeited or expired awards are returned to the incentive plan pool for future grants. Awards generally vest over four years, 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and quarterly thereafter over the remaining three years. Upon vesting of RSUs, shares are withheld to cover statutory minimum withholding taxes. Shares withheld are not reflected as an issuance of ordinary shares within our consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity, as the shares are never issued, and the associated tax payments are reflected as financing activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Share‑based compensation expense across all plans for options, RSUs, and employee share purchase rights was $3.9 million and $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $6.3 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Unvested, June 28, 2024	1,151,884	178,610	201,841	$	33.61

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2017 ESPP”) grants employees the ability to designate a portion of their base-pay to purchase ordinary shares at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the first or last day of each six-month purchase period. Purchase periods begin on January 1 or July 1 and end on June 30 or December 31 (or the next business day if such date is not a business day). Shares are purchased on the last day of the purchase period.

As of June 28, 2024, approximately 2.1 million ordinary shares remain available for purchase under the 2017 ESPP.

Overview

We are a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of critical fluid delivery subsystems and components for semiconductor capital equipment. Our product offerings include gas and chemical delivery systems and subsystems, collectively known as fluid delivery systems and subsystems, which are key elements of the process tools used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. Our gas delivery subsystems deliver, monitor, and control precise quantities of the specialized gases used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as etch and deposition. Our chemical delivery systems and subsystems precisely blend and dispense the reactive liquid chemistries used in semiconductor manufacturing processes such as chemical-mechanical planarization, electroplating, and cleaning. We also provide precision-machined components, weldments, e‑beam and laser-welded components, precision vacuum and hydrogen brazing, surface treatment technologies, and other proprietary products. This vertically integrated portion of our business is primarily focused on metal and plastic parts that are used in gas and chemical systems, respectively.

Fluid delivery subsystems ensure accurate measurement and uniform delivery of specialty gases and chemicals at critical steps in the semiconductor manufacturing processes. Any malfunction or material degradation in fluid delivery reduces yields and increases the likelihood of manufacturing defects in these processes. Most OEMs outsource all or a portion of the design, engineering, and manufacturing of their gas delivery subsystems to a few specialized suppliers, including us. Additionally, many OEMs are outsourcing the design, engineering, and manufacturing of their chemical delivery subsystems due to the increased fluid expertise required to manufacture these subsystems. Outsourcing these subsystems has allowed OEMs to leverage suppliers’ highly specialized engineering, design, and production skills while focusing their internal resources on their own value-added processes.

We have a global footprint with production facilities in California, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Korea, and Mexico.

The following table summarizes key financial information for the periods indicated. Amounts are presented in accordance with GAAP unless explicitly identified as being a non-GAAP metric.

Macroeconomic Conditions and Business Update

The semiconductor industry is cyclical in nature. The industry entered a cyclical downturn in the fourth quarter of 2022, leading to reductions in spending on semiconductor capital equipment, resulting in weakened customer demand. In particular, industry overcapacity and a number of macroeconomic factors may have contributed to this reduced spending environment, which combined with increased export controls for advanced semiconductor-related goods and services shipped to China and delayed business investment in electronic memory capacity had varying levels of unfavorable consequences to our business. Although the total market for semiconductor capital equipment has experienced year-over-year stability and growth, inventory digestion at our customers and the relative spending levels within our primary served markets, in particular lower spending levels for deposition and etch equipment, has resulted in demand from our customers persisting at lower levels over the past year relative to the total semiconductor capital equipment market. To help mitigate these impacts and to better align our resources and cost structure with current and expected future levels of business, we initiated labor and other cost reduction initiatives starting in the fourth quarter of 2022, continuing through the second quarter of 2024.

While challenging macroeconomic conditions have impacted and will continue to impact our business and customers in the near term, we believe demand for semiconductors, semiconductor capital equipment, and our products will return to growth, fueled by the long-term growing need for more semiconductor productive capacity and enhanced process technologies.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023

Net sales


	Three Months Ended				Change				Six Months Ended				Change
	June 28, 2024		June 30, 2023		Amount		%		June 28, 2024		June 30, 2023		Amount		%
	(dollars in thousands)
Net sales	$	203,227	$	185,008	$	18,219	9.8	%	$	404,610	$	410,878	$	(6,268)	(1.5)	%

The increase in net sales from the three months ended June 30, 2023 to the three months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to increased customer demand as a result of a stronger semiconductor capital equipment spending environment. The second quarter of 2023 represented the low-point in our quarterly net sales since the start of the cyclical downturn in the fourth quarter of 2022. Although net sales were higher on a quarter-on-quarter basis, higher net sales in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2024 translated into lower net sales for the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023. Further detail is provided above under the section entitled Macroeconomic Conditions and Business Update.

Gross margin


	Three Months Ended						Change				Six Months Ended						Change
	June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			Amount		%		June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			Amount		%

Cost of sales	$	177,670		$	159,266		$	18,404	11.6	%	$	356,059		$	351,896		$	4,163	1.2	%
Gross profit	$	25,557		$	25,742		$	(185)	(0.7)	%	$	48,551		$	58,982		$	(10,431)	(17.7)	%
Gross margin	12.6		%	13.9		%			-130	bps	12.0		%	14.4		%			-240	bps

The decrease in gross margin from the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to the three and six months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to unfavorable sales mix, as well as increased fixed overhead and excess and obsolete inventory expenses. Increased fixed overhead, including depreciation and occupancy costs, unfavorably impacted gross margin by 50bps for the three and six months ended June 28, 2024, and increased excess and obsolete inventory expense unfavorably impacted gross margin by 40bps and 80bps for the three and six months ended June 28, 2024, respectively.

Research and development


	Three Months Ended				Change				Six Months Ended				Change
	June 28, 2024		June 30, 2023		Amount		%		June 28, 2024		June 30, 2023		Amount		%

Research and development	$	5,926	$	5,188	$	738	14.2	%	$	11,296	$	9,501	$	1,795	18.9	%

The increase in research and development expenses from the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily due to increased material and service costs from our new product development programs.

The increase from the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the six months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to increased material and service costs from our new product development programs of $1.3 million and increased employee-related expenses of $0.5 million, inclusive of share-based compensation expense.

Selling, general, and administrative


	Three Months Ended				Change				Six Months Ended				Change
	June 28, 2024		June 30, 2023		Amount		%		June 28, 2024		June 30, 2023		Amount		%

The decrease in amortization expense from the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to the three and six months ended June 28, 2024 was due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized in the second half of 2023.

Interest expense, net

	June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			Amount		%		June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			Amount		%

Weighted average borrowing rate	7.45		%	6.63		%			+82 bps		7.53		%	6.36		%			+117 bps

The decrease in interest expense, net from the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to the three and six months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to decreases in the weighted average amounts borrowed, partially offset by an increase in our weighted average borrowing rate.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net	$	50	$	100	$	(50)	(50.0)	%	$	289	$	884	$	(595)	(67.3)	%

The change in other expense, net from the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to the three and six months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to currency exchange rate fluctuations during the periods related to our local currency payables of our foreign operations.

Income tax expense


	Three Months Ended						Change			Six Months Ended						Change
	June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			Amount		%	June 28, 2024			June 30, 2023			Amount		%

Income tax expense	$	942		$	12,620		$	(11,678)	n/m	$	1,855		$	12,085		$	(10,230)	n/m

Effective income tax rate	-22.6		%	-157.0		%			+13,440 bps	-15.1		%	-140.9		%			+12,580 bps

The decrease in income tax expense from the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to the three and six months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to recording a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, resulting in an $11.1 million charge to income tax expense during the second quarter of 2023. Because we have a valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. state and federal deferred income taxes, we did not record tax benefits from our U.S. taxable losses in the six months ended June 28, 2024.


Non‑GAAP Financial Results

Management uses certain non-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view our results from management’s perspective. All non-GAAP adjustments are presented on a gross basis. Non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, and net income (loss) are defined as: gross profit, operating income (loss), or net income (loss), respectively, excluding (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and discrete or infrequent charges and gains that are outside of normal business operations, including transaction-related costs, contract and legal settlement gains and losses, facility shutdown costs, and severance costs associated with reduction-in-force programs, to the extent they are present in gross profit, operating income (loss), and net income (loss), respectively; and (2) with respect to non-GAAP net income (loss), the tax impacts associated with these non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items, including deferred tax asset valuation allowance charges. All non-GAAP adjustments are presented on a gross basis; the related income tax effects, including current and deferred income tax expense, are included in the adjustment line under the heading "Tax adjustments related to non-GAAP adjustments". Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by weighted average diluted ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin are defined as non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP operating income, respectively, divided by net sales.

Non-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP results as a tool for comparison.

Because of these limitations, you should consider non-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures and results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving non-GAAP results and you should not infer from our presentation of non-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or other discrete or infrequent charges and gains that are outside of normal business operations.

(3)Adjusts GAAP income tax expense for the impact of our non-GAAP adjustments, which are presented on a gross basis. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets on a GAAP basis. In the first quarter of 2024, we determined that the valuation allowance should be recognized against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets on a non-GAAP basis as we were not in a three-year cumulative U.S. income position on a non-GAAP basis. Accordingly, from the first quarter of 2024 and forward, tax expense on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis reflects a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets.

(4)During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded a valuation allowance of $11.1 million against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was recorded based on an assessment of available positive and negative evidence, including an estimate of being in a three-year cumulative loss position in the U.S. by the end of 2023, projections of future taxable income, and other quantitative and qualitative information.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following section discusses our liquidity and capital resources, including our primary sources of liquidity and our material cash requirements. Our cash and cash equivalents are maintained in highly liquid and accessible accounts with no significant restrictions.

Material Cash Requirements

Our primary liquidity requirements arise from: (i) working capital requirements, including procurement of raw materials inventory for use in our factories and employee-related costs, (ii) business acquisitions, (iii) interest and principal payments under our credit facilities, (iv) research and development investments, (v) capital expenditures, and (vi) payment of income taxes. We have no significant long-term purchase commitments related to procuring raw materials inventory. Our ability to fund these material cash requirements will depend, in part, on our future cash flows, which are determined by our future operating performance, and our continued access to the capital markets and are therefore subject to prevailing global macroeconomic conditions and financial, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, the amounts available under our credit facilities, and our operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund our business and our current obligations for at least the next 12 months and beyond.

Sources and Conditions of Liquidity

Our ongoing sources of liquidity to fund our material cash requirements are primarily derived from: (i) sales to our customers and the related changes in our net operating assets and liabilities and (ii) proceeds from our credit facilities and equity offerings, when applicable. Our credit facilities are comprised of a $150.0 million term loan facility and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility, of which $250.0 million remained available to draw on as of June 28, 2024.

Summary of Cash Flows

We ended the second quarter of 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $114.3 million, an increase of $34.4 million from the prior year ended December 29, 2023. The increase was primarily due to net proceeds of $136.7 million from our issuance of 3.8 million ordinary shares in March 2024 in connection with an underwritten public offering and net cash provided by operating activities of $22.3 million, partially offset by net payments on credit facilities of $118.8 million and capital expenditures of $7.3 million.

The following table sets forth a summary of operating, investing, and financing activities for the periods presented:


	Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2024		June 30, 2023
	(in thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	22,296	$	16,070
Cash used in investing activities	(7,337)		(10,834)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities	19,435		(7,098)
Net increase (decrease) in cash	$	34,394	$	(1,862)

Our cash provided by operating activities of $22.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2024 consisted of net non-cash charges of $22.3 million, consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization of $15.7 million and share-based compensation expense of $6.3 million, and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $14.1 million, partially offset by net loss of $14.1 million.

The decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $14.1 million during the six months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in inventories of $14.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in accrued and other liabilities of $3.5 million.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities from the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the six months ended June 28, 2024 was primarily due to favorable changes in the balances of our working capital accounts of $12.7 million, partially offset by a reduction in net income net of non-cash charges of $6.5 million.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023 consisted of capital expenditures. The reduction in capital expenditures from the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the six months ended June 28, 2024 was due to reduced factory capacity expansion projects.

Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 28, 2024 consisted of net proceeds of $136.7 million from our issuance of 3.8 million ordinary shares in March 2024 in connection with an underwritten public offering and net proceeds from share-based compensation activity of $1.4 million, partially offset by net payment on our credit facilities of $118.8 million. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 consisted of net payments on our credit facilities of $8.8 million, partially offset by net proceeds from share-based compensation activity of $1.7 million.


Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are identified and described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10‑K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Substantially all of our sales arrangement with customers, and the significant majority of our arrangements with third-party suppliers, provide for pricing and payment in U.S. dollars and, therefore, are not subject to material exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, we do not expect foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to have a material effect on our results of operations. However, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies would make our products more expensive relative to competing products priced in such other currencies, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could result in our foreign suppliers raising their prices in order to continue doing business with us.

We have certain operating expenses that are denominated in currencies of the countries in which our operations are located and may be subject to fluctuations due to foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Singapore dollar, Malaysian ringgit, British pound, euro, Korean won, and Mexican peso. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statement of operations. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements, and we have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging transactions.


Interest Rate Risk

We had total indebtedness of $131.3 million as of June 28, 2024, exclusive of $1.1 million in debt issuance costs, of which $7.5 million was due within 12 months. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We have not been, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. As of June 28, 2024, the interest rate on our outstanding debt is based on BSBY, plus an applicable rate depending on our leverage ratio. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in the interest rate on our outstanding debt would have resulted in a $0.3 million change to interest expense during the quarter, or $1.3 million on an annualized basis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the "certifying officers"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on this evaluation, our certifying officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 28, 2024.


Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we cannot provide reliable financial information, our business, operating results, and share price could be negatively impacted.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report 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

We are currently not a party to any material pending or threatened litigation.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the risk factors included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face – our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

None.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION


Insider Trading Arrangements

During the second quarter of 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act), adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).

Basis of Presentation and Selected Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation These consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. All dollar figures presented in tables in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except per share amounts. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for interim reporting. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 29, 2023.
Year End	Year End We use a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. Our fiscal years ending December 27, 2024 and December 29, 2023 are each 52 weeks. References to 2024 and 2023 relate to the fiscal years then ended, respectively. The three-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023 are each 13 weeks. References to the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 relate to the three-month periods then ended.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management. Significant estimates include inventory valuation, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and impairment analysis for both definite‑lived intangible assets and goodwill.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits and financial instruments which are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, approximate fair value.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. This amount is recorded as net sales in our consolidated statements of operations. Transaction price – In most of our contracts, prices are generally determined by a customer-issued purchase order and generally remain fixed over the duration of the contract. Certain contracts contain variable consideration, including early-payment discounts and rebates. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration to determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. Historically, we have not incurred significant costs to obtain a contract. All amounts billed to a customer relating to shipping and handling are classified as net sales, while all costs incurred by us for shipping and handling are classified as cost of sales. Performance obligations – Substantially all of our performance obligations pertain to promised goods (“products”), which are primarily comprised of fluid delivery subsystems, weldments, and other components. Most of our contracts contain a single performance obligation and are generally completed within 12 months. Product sales are recognized at a point-in-time, upon "delivery," as such term is defined within the contract, which is generally at the time of shipment, as that is when control of the product has transferred. Products are covered by a standard assurance warranty, generally extended for a period of one to two years depending on the customer, which promises that delivered products conform to contract specifications. As such, we account for such warranties under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 460, Guarantees, and not as a separate performance obligation. Contract balances – Accounts receivable represents our unconditional right to receive consideration from our customers. Accounts receivable are carried at invoice price less an estimate for doubtful accounts and estimated payment discounts. Payment terms vary by customer, but payment is generally due within 15 to 60 days of purchase. Historically, we have not experienced significant payment issues with our customers. We had no significant contract assets or liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets in any of the periods presented herein.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued	Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The ASU requires disclosures to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This ASU is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness, and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. The ASU also requires a public entity to provide a qualitative description of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes as well as by individual jurisdictions. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of this ASU may have on our consolidated financial statements.
