(1) NATURE OF OPERATIONS
InTest Corporation (“InTest,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, is a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range of markets including semiconductors (“semi”), auto/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, safety/security and other. We have three operating segments which are also our reportable segments and reporting units: Electronic Test, Environmental Technologies and Process Technologies.
The consolidated entity is comprised of InTest Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We manufacture our products in the U.S., Canada, Italy and the Netherlands. Marketing and support activities are conducted worldwide from our facilities in the U.S., Canada, Italy, Germany, Singapore, the Netherlands and the U.K. We operate our business worldwide and sell our products both domestically and internationally.
Founded in 1981, we completed our initial public offering in June 1997 and currently trade on the NYSE American exchange under the symbol “INTT.”
All of our operating segments have multiple products that we design, manufacture and market to our customers. Due to a number of factors, our products have varying levels of gross margin. The mix of products we sell in any period is ultimately determined by our customers’ needs. Therefore, the mix of products sold in any given period can change significantly from the prior period. In addition, we sell our products to a variety of different types of customers with varying levels of discounts and commission expense. As a result of changes in both the mix of products sold as well as customer mix in any given period, our consolidated gross margin can vary significantly from period to period.
The semiconductor market, which includes both the broader semiconductor market, as well as the more specialized automated test equipment (“ATE”) and wafer production sectors within the broader semiconductor market, has historically been the largest single market in which we operate. The semi market is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures and cyclical as well as seasonal market patterns. The semi market is also subject to periods of significant expansion or contraction in demand. In addition to the semi market, we sell into a variety of other markets. Our intention is to continue diversifying our markets, our product offerings within the markets we serve and our customer base across all of our markets with the goal of reducing our dependence on any one market, product or customer. In particular, we are seeking to reduce the impact of volatility in the semi market on our results of operations.
Our Electronic Test segment sells its products to semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses (end user sales) and to ATE manufacturers (original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) sales), who ultimately resell our equipment with theirs to both semiconductor manufacturers and third-party test and assembly houses. These sales all fall within the ATE sector of the semi market. With the December 2021 acquisition of Acculogic Inc. and its affiliates (“Acculogic”) and the March 2024 acquisition of Alfamation S.p.A (“Alfamation™”), our Electronic Test segment also sells its products to customers in markets outside the semi market including the auto/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial and life sciences markets. Our Environmental Technologies segment sells its products to end users and OEMs within the ATE sector of the semi market. It also sells its products to customers in a variety of other markets other than the semi market, including the auto/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial and life sciences markets. Our Process Technologies segment sells its products to customers in the wafer production sector within the semi market. It also sells its products to customers in a variety of other markets other than the semi market, including the auto/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences and safety/security markets.
Our financial results are affected by a wide variety of factors, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions worldwide and in the markets in which we operate, economic conditions specific to the semi market and the other markets we serve, downward pricing pressures from customers, our reliance on a relatively few number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and our ability to safeguard patented technology and intellectual property in a rapidly evolving market. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of obsolescence of our inventory depending on the mix of future business and technological changes within the markets that we serve. Part of our strategy for growth includes potential acquisitions that may cause us to incur substantial expense in reviewing and evaluating potential transactions. We may or may not be successful in locating suitable businesses to acquire and in closing acquisitions of businesses we pursue. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any business we do acquire with our existing business, and we may not be able to operate the acquired business profitably. As a result of these or other factors, we may experience significant period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain of our accounts, including inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill, identifiable intangibles and deferred tax assets and liabilities including related valuation allowances, are particularly impacted by estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain footnote information has been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) filed on March 13, 2025, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
(b) Reclassifications
Certain prior period presentation and amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. These consist of:
•aggregating the components of property and equipment on the face of the consolidated balance sheets and disclosing the details in the footnotes
•aggregating accrued wages and benefits, accrued professional fees, accrued sales commissions and other current liabilities into accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the face of the consolidated balance sheets and disclosing the details in the footnotes
•aggregating our restricted certificates of deposit into other assets on the face of the consolidated balance sheets and disclosing the details in the footnotes
•disaggregating amortization of acquired intangible assets from general and administrative expenses on the face of our consolidated statements of operations
•aggregating foreign exchange (gain) loss, discount on shares sold under Employee Stock Purchase Plan, proceeds from sales of demonstration equipment, net of gain, into other non-cash reconciling items within adjustments to reconcile net (loss) earnings to cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows
•aggregating accrued wages and benefits, accrued professional fees, accrued sales commissions, other current liabilities and other liabilities into accrued and other liabilities within changes in assets and liabilities for cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
(c) Business Combinations
Acquired businesses are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the net assets acquired at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Fair values of intangible assets are estimated by valuation models prepared by our management and third-party advisors. The assets purchased and liabilities assumed have been reflected in our consolidated balance sheets, and the operating results are included in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows from the date of acquisition. Any change in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of the estimated

(Unaudited)
fair value change. Acquisition-related transaction costs, including legal and accounting fees and other external costs directly related to the acquisition, are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
See “Note (3) Acquisition” for further disclosures related to our March 12, 2024, purchase of Alfamation S.p.A.
(d) Cash & Cash Equivalents
Short-term investments that have maturities of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Our cash balances, which are deposited with highly reputable financial institutions, at times may exceed the federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses related to these cash balances and believe the credit risk to be minimal.
Periodically we have restricted cash which represents amounts deposited at our banks to support bank guarantees which certain of our customers require as a condition of paying large deposits on orders they place with us. Typically, the amount of the deposit and related guarantee declines as shipments are made against the order. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had no amounts classified as restricted cash.
(e) Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. We grant credit to customers and generally require no collateral. To minimize our risk, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. We follow the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 - Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) in developing our estimate of the allowance for credit losses related to our accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses is our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. In establishing the amount of allowance for credit losses, we consider all information available as of the reporting date including information related to past events, such as historical loss rates and actual incurred losses, as well as current conditions that may indicate future risk of loss and any other factors of which we are aware, that we believe could impact the ultimate collectability of the related receivables in future periods.
Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any significant off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers. Cash flows from accounts receivable are recorded in operating cash flows.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of net realizable value, except inventory acquired in a business combination, which is recorded at fair value. Cash flows from the sale of inventories are recorded in operating cash flows. On a quarterly basis, we review our inventories and record excess and obsolete inventory charges based upon our established objective excess and obsolete inventory criteria. Our criteria identify excess material as the quantity of material on hand that is greater than the average annual usage of that material over the prior three years. Our criteria identify obsolete material as material that has not been used in a work order during the prior twenty-four months. In certain cases, additional excess and obsolete inventory charges are recorded based upon current market conditions, anticipated product life cycles, new product introductions and expected future use of the inventory. The excess and obsolete inventory charges we record establish a new cost basis for the related inventories.
(g) Property and Equipment
Our property and equipment caption includes machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements which are stated at cost, except for machinery and equipment acquired in a business combination, which are stated at fair value at the time of acquisition. As disclosed in “(h) Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets,” machinery and equipment that has been determined to be impaired is written down to its fair value at the time of the impairment. Depreciation for machinery and equipment is based upon the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives range from one to ten years. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
(h) Goodwill, Intangible and Long-Lived Assets
We have three reportable segments which are also our reporting units: Electronic Test, Environmental Technologies and Process Technologies.
We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful economic life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. As a part of the goodwill impairment assessment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is not required. However, if, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or, if we choose not to perform a qualitative assessment, we are required to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized.
The quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The goodwill impairment assessment is based upon the income approach, which estimates the fair value of our reporting units based upon a discounted cash flow approach. This fair value is then reconciled to our market capitalization at year end with an appropriate control premium. The determination of the fair value of our reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions including the selection of control premiums, discount rates, terminal growth rates, forecasts of revenue and expense growth rates, income tax rates, changes in working capital, depreciation, amortization and capital expenditures. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit or the amount of the goodwill impairment charge.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. As a part of the impairment assessment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, as a result of our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required; otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Long-lived assets, which consist of finite-lived intangible assets, property and equipment and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset group. If impairment is indicated, the asset group is written down to its estimated fair value. The cash flow estimates used to determine the impairment, if any, contain management’s best estimates using appropriate assumptions and projections at that time.
(i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and our own assumptions (unobservable inputs). Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
InTest CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange price, or exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following:
Level 1: Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2: Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, our credit facility, interest rate swaps and our liabilities for contingent consideration. Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost which approximates fair value, due to the short-term nature of those items. Our credit facility and our interest rate swap are discussed further below and in “Note (10) Debt.” Our contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs which are inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. See “Note (7) Fair Value Measurements” for further disclosures related to the fair value of our liabilities for contingent consideration.
(j) State and Local Grant Funds Received
In connection with leasing a facility in Rochester, New York, which our subsidiary, Ambrell Corporation (“Ambrell®”), occupied in May 2018, we entered into agreements with the city of Rochester and the state of New York under which we received grants totaling $0.6 million to help offset a portion of the cost of the leasehold improvements we made to this facility. In exchange for the funds we received under these agreements, we were required to create and maintain specified levels of employment in this location through various dates ending in 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we met those employment targets as specified in the grant agreement with the city of Rochester. The remaining proceeds which were no longer subject to repayment were reclassified to deferred grant proceeds and will be amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the current remaining lease term for the Rochester facility. Deferred grant proceeds are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities on our balance sheets and totaled $0.3 million at March 31, 2025.
(k) Leases
We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842 -Leases (“ASC 842”). We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A lease contract is within scope if the contract has an identified asset (property, plant or equipment) and grants the lessee the right to control the use of the asset during the lease term. The identified asset may be either explicitly or implicitly specified in the contract. In addition, the supplier must not have any practical ability to substitute a different asset and would not economically benefit from doing so for the lease contract to be in scope. The lessee’s right to control the use of the asset during the term of the lease must include the ability to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset as well as decision-making authority over how the asset will be used. Leases are classified as either operating leases or finance leases based on the guidance in ASC 842. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and financing lease liabilities. We do not currently have any financing leases.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. None of our leases provide an implicit rate; therefore, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. We include these options in the determination of the amount of the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our operating leases contain predetermined fixed escalations of minimum rentals and rent holidays during the original lease terms. Rent holidays are periods during which we have control of the leased facility but are not obligated to pay rent. For these leases, our ROU asset and lease liability are calculated including any rent holiday in the determination of the life of the lease.
We have lease agreements which contain both lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. In addition to the monthly rental payments due, most of our leases for our offices and warehouse facilities include non-lease components representing our portion of the common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance charges incurred by the landlord for the facilities which we occupy. These amounts are not included in the calculation of the ROU assets and lease liabilities as they are based on actual charges incurred in the periods to which they apply.
Operating lease payments are included in cash outflows from operating activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. Amortization of ROU assets is presented separately from the change in operating lease liabilities and is included in Depreciation and Amortization on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
We have made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with a term of one year or less at the commencement date of the lease). Lease expense for short-term lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
See “Note (9) Leases” for further disclosures regarding our leases.
(l) Interest Rate Swap Agreement
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our floating-rate debt. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis for a portion of our floating rate debt, as discussed further in “Note (7) Fair Value Measurements” and “Note (10) Debt.” The principal objective of this agreement is to eliminate the variability of the cash flows for interest payments associated with a portion of our floating-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest payment cash flows. We have elected to apply the hedge accounting rules in accordance with ASC Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. Further, we have determined that this agreement qualifies for the shortcut method of hedge accounting. Our interest rate swap is recorded at fair value as a component of other assets in our balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. We recognize the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap as a component of the change in other assets in our statements of cash flows.
(m) Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize revenue for the sale of products or services at the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those goods or services when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied and control of the product or service has been transferred to the customer. Generally, this occurs when we ship a product or perform a service. In certain cases, recognition of revenue is deferred until the product is received by the customer or at some other point in the future when we have determined that we have satisfied our performance obligations under the contract. Our contracts with customers may include a combination of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. In addition to the sale of products and services, we also lease certain of our equipment to customers under short-term lease agreements. We recognize revenue from equipment leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We do not have any material variable consideration arrangements, or any material payment terms with our customers other than standard payment terms which generally range from net 30 to net 90 days. We generally do not provide a right of return to our customers. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in revenue, while shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue.

Nature of Products and Services
We are a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in targeted markets including semi, industrial, auto/EV, life sciences, defense/aerospace and safety/security. We sell semiconductor ATE interface solutions which include manipulators, docking hardware and electrical interface products. As a result of the acquisition of Acculogic, we sell robotics-based electronic production test equipment. We sell semiconductor ATE interface solutions and certain thermal management products to the semi market. We sell thermal management products including ThermoStream®, ThermoChambers, process chillers, refrigerators and freezers, which we sell under our Temptronic®, Sigma, Thermonics® and North Sciences product lines, and Ambrell®’s precision induction heating systems, including EKOHEAT® and EASYHEAT™ products. As a result of the acquisition of Videology®, we sell industrial-grade circuit board mounted video digital cameras and related devices, systems and software. We also sell many of our products to various other markets including the industrial, auto/EV, life sciences, defense/aerospace and safety/security markets. We provide post-warranty service and support for the equipment we sell.
We lease certain of our equipment under short-term leasing agreements with original lease terms of six months or less. Our lease agreements do not contain purchase options. Occasionally we procure and sell materials/components on behalf of and to our customers.
Types of Contracts with Customers
Our contracts with customers are generally structured as individual purchase orders which specify the exact products or services being sold or equipment being leased along with the selling price, service fee or monthly lease amount for each individual item on the purchase order. Payment terms and any other customer-specific acceptance criteria are also specified on the purchase order. We generally do not have any customer-specific acceptance criteria, other than that the product performs within the agreed-upon specifications. We test substantially all products manufactured as part of our quality assurance process to determine that they comply with specifications prior to shipment to a customer.
Contract Balances
We record accounts receivable at the time of invoicing. Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for credit losses, is included in current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. In certain instances, we also receive customer deposits in advance of invoicing and recording of accounts receivable. Customer deposits are included in current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. To the extent that we do not recognize revenue at the same time as we invoice, we record a liability for deferred revenue. Deferred revenue estimated to be recognized within the next twelve months is included in current liabilities. Deferred revenue that we estimate will be recognized beyond twelve months is recorded in Other Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Any non-inventoriable costs associated with deferred revenue are also deferred and recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets or Other Assets on our consolidated balance sheets, depending on when the related deferred revenue is expected to be recognized.
As discussed above, we follow the guidance in ASC 326 in developing our estimate of the allowance for credit losses related to our accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses is our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We monitor the collectability of accounts receivable on an ongoing basis and record charges for bad debt expense in the period when we determine that a loss is expected to occur based on our assessment.
Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer
The only costs we incur associated with obtaining contracts with customers are sales commissions that we pay to our internal sales personnel or third-party sales representatives. These costs are calculated based on set percentages of the selling price of each product or service sold. Commissions are considered earned by our internal sales personnel at the time we recognize revenue for a particular transaction. Commissions are considered earned by third-party sales representatives at the time that revenue is recognized for a particular transaction. We record commission expense in our consolidated statements of operations at the time the commission is earned. Commissions earned but not yet paid are included in current liabilities on our balance sheets.

Product Warranties
In connection with the sale of our products, we generally provide standard one- or two-year product warranties which are detailed in our terms and conditions and communicated to our customers. Our standard warranties are not offered for sale separately from our products; therefore, there is not a separate performance obligation related to our standard warranties. We record estimated warranty expense for our standard warranties at the time of sale based upon historical claims experience. We offer customers an option to separately purchase an extended warranty on certain products. In the case of extended warranties, we recognize revenue in the amount of the sale price for the extended warranty on a straight-line basis over the extended warranty period. We record costs incurred to provide service under an extended warranty at the time the service is provided. Warranty expense is included in selling expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
See “Note (11) Revenue From Contracts With Customers” and “Note (18) Segment Information” for further information about our revenue from contracts with customers.
(n) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Earnings (loss) per common share - basic is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Earnings (loss) per common share - diluted is computed by dividing earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each period. Common share equivalents represent unvested shares of restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options and are calculated using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
(o) Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 - Compensation—Stock Compensation which requires that employee share-based equity awards be accounted for under the fair value method and requires the use of an option pricing model for estimating fair value of stock options, which is then amortized to expense over the service periods. We recognize forfeitures of awards as they occur, recapturing any expense recorded for unvested awards.
The fair value of our stock options on the date of grant is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the use of certain assumptions, including the expected volatility of our stock price, the expected term of the option, the risk-free rate and the expected dividend yield. No option may be granted with an exercise period in excess of ten years from the date of grant. Generally, stock options will be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant and will vest over four years.
We record compensation expense for restricted stock awards based on the quoted market price of our stock at the grant date and amortize the expense over the vesting period. Restricted stock awards generally vest over four years for employees. Prior to 2025, restricted stock awards granted to our independent directors vested 25% at each of March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of the year in which they were granted. Beginning in 2025, restricted stock awards granted to our independent directors vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date.
We also grant performance-based restricted stock awards where the ultimate number of shares that vest can vary and is based on the achievement of specific performance metrics. The grant date fair value of these awards is based on the quoted market price of our stock on the date of grant. Vesting for performance-based awards is generally cliff vesting at the end of the period over which the performance metrics are measured. Compensation expense for performance-based awards is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is based on the expected final vesting percentage, which is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted with a catch-up adjusted as needed. Our initial assumption at the grant date of these performance-based awards is that the award will vest at 100%.
From time to time, as restricted stock awards vest, certain employees surrender their vested shares to satisfy their tax liability on vesting. The fair value of those shares on the vesting date are then used by us to pay those employees’ tax obligations. The shares surrendered are reported as treasury stock in our statements of stockholders’ equity.
See further disclosures related to our stock-based compensation plans in “Note (14) Stock-Based Compensation Plan.”

(p) Foreign Currency
For our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The results of operations are translated using an average exchange rate for the period. The effects of rate fluctuations in translating assets and liabilities of these international operations into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive earnings in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains or losses are included in net earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our net foreign currency transaction gains were immaterial.
(q) Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, as described in ASC Topic 740 – Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
Recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions in our financial statements involves a determination of whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination with the presumption that the tax position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. Our policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations.
(r) Restructuring and Other Charges
In accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 420 - Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, we recognize a liability for restructuring costs at fair value only when the liability is incurred. Workforce-related charges are accrued when it is determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally after individuals have been notified of their termination dates and expected severance benefits. Depending on the timing of the termination dates, these charges may be recognized upon notification or ratably over the remaining required service period of the employees. Plans to consolidate excess facilities may result in lease termination fees and impairment charges related to our ROU assets that are associated with the leases for these facilities. Other long-lived assets that may be impaired as a result of restructuring consist of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets. Asset impairment charges included in restructuring and other charges are based on an estimate of the amounts and timing of future cash flows related to the expected future remaining use and ultimate sale or disposal of the asset, and, in the case of our ROU assets, would include expected future sublease rental income, if applicable. These estimates are derived using the guidance in ASC 842, ASC 350 and ASC Topic 360 - Property, Plant and Equipment.
(s) Effect of Recently Adopted Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) which amends the guidance for disclosures for reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 introduced new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), extends certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarifies that single reportable segment entities must apply ASC 280 – Segment Reporting in its entirety, permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions, and requires disclosure of the title and position of the CODM. Our adoption of ASU 2023-07 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have retrospectively applied the amendments to our interim footnote disclosures beginning January 1, 2025, as permitted.
(t) Effect of Recently Issued Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”) that requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including amounts of inventory purchases, employee

compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each income statement line item. ASU 2024-03 also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses and our definition of selling expenses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be adopted on a prospective basis at the effective date or retrospectively applied to all periods presented. We do not believe there will be any impact on our financial statements and are evaluating the impact of the amendments on footnote disclosures to our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the SEC issued a new final rule in Release 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires the inclusion of climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. Among other things, the new rule requires disclosure of material climate-related risks, activities related to adapting to or mitigating such risks, related oversight activities, and information on climate-related targets or goals. Information is also required of certain greenhouse gas emissions. Disclosure requirements were to begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, however on April 4, 2024, the SEC issued a voluntary stay (SEC Release 33-11280) in response to pending litigation. Therefore, the implementation dates are currently on hold. We are monitoring SEC developments and evaluating the impact of the new rule on its financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments require entities to annually disclose the income tax rate reconciliation using both amounts and percentages, considering several categories of reconciling items, including state and local income taxes, foreign tax effects, tax credits and nontaxable or nondeductible items, among others. Disclosure of the reconciling items is subject to a quantitative threshold and disaggregation by nature and jurisdiction. The amendments also require entities to disclose net income taxes paid or received to federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, as well as by individual jurisdiction, subject to a five percent quantitative threshold. The amendments may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe there will be any impact on our financial statements and are evaluating the impact of the amendments on footnote disclosures to our consolidated financial statements.
(u) Subsequent Events
We have made an assessment of our operations and with the exception of the debt waiver noted in “Note (10) Debt,” determined that there were no other material subsequent events requiring adjustment to, or disclosure in, our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
(3) ACQUISITION
On March 12, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Alfamation S.p.A., an Italian joint-stock company. Alfamation™ is a leading global provider of state-of-the-art test and measurement solutions for the auto/EV, life sciences and specialty consumer electronics markets. Alfamation™ is included in our Electronic Test operating segment. The acquisition of Alfamation™ deepens our presence in the auto/EV and life science markets, expands our exposure in consumer electronics, extends our geographic reach with a sizable footprint in Europe, and widens our portfolio of products and solutions. Additionally, we believe Alfamation™ brings engineering talent and a management team that culturally aligns with our mission to provide innovative, engineered solutions that address the high-value challenges of our customers. The aggregate purchase price was approximately €20.0 million comprised of: (i) €18.0 million, or $19.7 million, in cash; and (ii) 187,432 shares of our common stock, valued at $2.1 million based on the closing price of our stock on the date of acquisition. The cash portion of the purchase price was subject to customary working capital adjustments. These adjustments were finalized in June 2024 and resulted in recording an additional €0.1 million, or $0.1 million, in purchase price for assets delivered at closing in excess of agreed upon thresholds. The liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition included debt of approximately €10.3 million, or $11.3 million. The debt assumed is discussed further in “Note (10) Debt.” Total acquisition costs incurred to complete this transaction were $1.2 million. Acquisition costs were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expense.
The acquisition of Alfamation™ has been accounted for as a business combination using purchase accounting, and, accordingly, the results of Alfamation™ have been included in our consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition. During the fourth quarter of 2024 we completed our allocation of the estimated fair values as of March 12, 2024, with final adjustments made primarily to inventories, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The “inventory step-up” of approximately $1.6 million was the most significant adjustment. Partially offsetting the decrease in customer backlog were increases to acquired technology and customer relationships. Other less significant changes

affected property and equipment, other current assets, accrued expenses and deferred tax liability. The excess of the purchase price over the identifiable intangible and net tangible assets was allocated to goodwill and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is attributed to synergies that are expected to result from the operations of the combined businesses.
The total purchase price of $21.9 million has been allocated as follows:

Total purchase price | | $ | 21,901 | |
We estimated the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired using the income approach. Identifiable intangible assets acquired include customer relationships, customer backlog, technology and a trade name. We are amortizing the finite-lived intangible assets acquired over their estimated useful lives based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be consumed.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Alfamation™’s identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date:

In connection with the acquisition, we have entered into a lease agreement (the “Alfamation Lease Agreement”) with the former owner of Alfamation™ who will continue to serve as the managing director of Alfamation™ under our ownership. The Alfamation Lease Agreement commenced on March 12, 2024, and will last for six years. It will be automatically renewed for the same period of time unless terminated by either party. Under the terms of the Alfamation Lease Agreement, Alfamation™ will lease warehouse and office space totaling about 52 thousand square feet. Alfamation™ will pay a yearly lease payment of €0.3 million broken up into two equal payments. At the date of the signing of the Alfamation Lease Agreement, the yearly lease payment equated to approximately $0.3 million.

(7) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The interest rate swap agreement we entered into in connection with our Term Note, as disclosed in “Note (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies; (l) Interest Rate Swap Agreement” and “Note (10) Debt,” is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. The contingent consideration liability on our balance sheet is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
Our contingent consideration liability is a result of our acquisition of Acculogic on December 21, 2021, and represents the estimated fair value of the additional cash consideration payable that is contingent upon sales to Electric Vehicle (“EV”) or battery customers. We may pay the seller up to an additional CAD $5.0 million in the five-year period from 2022 through 2026. The additional payments will be based on a percent of net invoices for which payments have been received on systems sold to EV or battery customers in excess of CAD $2.5 million per year in each of the five years. The maximum payment is capped at CAD $5.0 million, which equates to approximately $3.5 million at March 31, 2025. There were no payments due to the seller for the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2024. To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date, an option-based income approach using a Monte Carlo simulation model was utilized due to the non-linear payout structure. As of the acquisition date, this resulted in an estimated fair value of $1.4 million. This amount was recorded as a contingent consideration liability and included in the purchase price as of the acquisition date. We reassess the estimated fair value of this liability annually using this same approach, or more frequently, if we determine that there have been material changes to the assumptions used in the calculation of the probable payout. Changes in the amount of the estimated fair value of the earn-outs since the acquisition date are recorded as operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations in the quarter in which they occur. The current portion of our contingent consideration liability is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities, while the non-current portion is included in Other Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Cash Flow Information
Total amortization of ROU assets was $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
As disclosed in “Note (3) Acquisition,” on March 12, 2024, we acquired the stock of Alfamation™, and as such, we assumed several leases. In addition, we also entered into the Alfamation Lease Agreement for the seller-owned facility where Alfamation™ has its principal operations. The leased premises include warehouse and office space totaling approximately 52 thousand square feet. The semi-annual lease payments are €0.1 million. The impact of the assumption and execution of these leases was a non-cash increase in our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $1.7 million at the date of the acquisition.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had an immaterial non-cash increase to our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.
Excluding the assumption of leases associated with the Alfamation™ acquisition, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had an immaterial non-cash increase to our ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.

Letters of Credit
We have issued letters of credit as the security deposits for certain of our domestic leases. These letters of credit are secured by pledged certificates of deposit which are classified as Restricted Certificates of Deposit on our balance sheets. The terms of our leases require us to renew these letters of credit at least 30 days prior to their expiration dates for successive terms of not less than one year until lease expiration. Our outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, consisted of the following:

Credit Facility
On October 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with M&T Bank (“M&T”) which, was subsequently amended on October 28, 2021, December 30, 2021, September 20, 2022, May 2, 2024, and December 18, 2024 (together as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement includes a $50.5 million non-revolving delayed draw term note (the “Term Note”) and a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Note, the “Credit Facility”). The available funding at March 31, 2025, under the Term Note was $30 million and we have not borrowed any amounts under the $10.0 million Revolving Facility. The Credit Facility has a five-year contract period that began on October 15, 2021, and, as amended, expires on May 2, 2031, and draws under the Term Note, as amended, are permissible until May 2, 2026.
The principal balance of the Revolving Facility and the principal balance of any amount drawn under the Term Note accrues interest based on the secured overnight financing rate for U.S. government securities (“SOFR”) or a bank-defined base rate plus an applicable margin, depending on leverage. Each draw under the Term Note will have an option for us of either (i) up to a five-year amortizing term loan with a balloon due at maturity, or (ii) up to a five-year term with up to seven years amortization with a balloon due at maturity. Any amortization greater than five years will be subject to an excess cash flow recapture. The Loan Agreement also allows us to enter into hedging contracts with M&T, including interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements, interest rate collar agreements, or any other agreements or that are designed to protect us against fluctuations in interest rates or currency exchange rates.
The Loan Agreement contains customary default provisions, including but not limited to the failure by us to repay obligations when due, violation of provisions or representations provided in the Loan Agreement, bankruptcy by us, suspension of our business or any of our subsidiaries and certain material judgments. After expiration of the contract period or if a continued event of default occurs, interest will accrue on the principal balance at a rate of 2% in excess of the then applicable nondefault interest rate. The Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA of not more than 3.0 to 1.0 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets that are owned as of the Closing Date or acquired thereafter. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants included in the Loan Agreement, except for the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant which was 0.99 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, for which we have received a one-time waiver from M&T on May 1, 2025.
On October 28, 2021, we drew $12.0 million under the Term Note to finance the acquisition of Videology®. We also entered into an interest rate swap agreement with M&T as of this date which is designed to protect us against fluctuations in interest rates during the five-year repayment and amortization period. As a result, the annual interest rate we expect to pay for this draw under the Term Note is fixed at approximately 3.2% based on current leverage.
On December 29, 2021, we drew $8.5 million under the Term Note to finance the acquisition of Acculogic. We did not enter into an interest rate swap agreement with M&T related to this draw. The annual interest rate we expect to pay for this draw under the Term Note is variable. At March 31, 2025, it was approximately 6.5% based on current leverage.

Alfamation™ Debt
In connection with the acquisition of Alfamation™ (see “Note (3) Acquisition”), we assumed debt which totaled $11.3 million as of the acquisition date. At March 31, 2025, Alfamation™’s total debt amounted to $4.9 million. This debt is comprised of both fixed and variable rate bank issued term loans as well as $1.1 million of short-term variable rate financing backed by Alfamation™’s accounts receivable. This debt is spread across several different institutions with monthly, quarterly or semi-annual repayment schedules. The short-term variable financing rate at March 31, 2025, was 3.5%. At March 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate payable on the bank issued term loans was was 1.1% for fixed rate debt and 4.0% for variable rate debt and the overall weighted average interest rate for the bank issued term loans was 3.3%.

As of March 31, 2025, we had unvested stock options, restricted stock awards, performance-based restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted under our stock-based compensation plans. On June 21, 2023, our stockholders approved the InTest Corporation 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”) which replaced the Fourth Amended and Restated 2014 Stock Plan (the “2014 Plan”). No further awards can be granted under the 2014 Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for grant and issuance under the 2023 Plan is (a) 350,000, plus (b) the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2014 Plan on the date the 2023 Plan was approved by stockholders, plus (c) any shares of common stock that are subject to awards granted under the 2014 Plan that expire, are forfeited or canceled or terminate for any other reason on or after the date the 2023 Plan was approved by stockholders, without the issuance of shares. The number of shares available to be issued under the 2023 Plan as of the date of its approval was 1,117,942. Consistent with prior years’ performance-based awards, we reserve additional shares in the event that the performance achieves maximum levels. As a result of current year’s activity with regard to performance-based restricted stock awards (grants and forfeitures), we have 56,279 shares reserved in aggregate for

(15) EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
The InTest Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) was adopted by the Board in April 2021 subject to approval by our stockholders, which occurred on June 23, 2021, at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders and became effective on October 1, 2021.
The ESPP provides our eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase common stock through accumulated payroll deductions at a 15% discount from the closing market price on the purchase date. The discount is recorded as a component of compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations. The ESPP provides that an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of our common stock will be available for issuance under the ESPP. The shares of our common stock purchasable under the ESPP will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares, including shares repurchased by us on the open market.

(16) RESTRUCTURING
On February 25, 2025, we notified employees of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Videology Imaging Corporation, of our intention to consolidate all operations in the Netherlands into our facility located in Mansfield, Massachusetts (the “Videology Consolidation”). Videology® is included in our Process Technologies segment. This plan would result in the closure of the Netherlands facility and the termination of certain employees at that location. The Videology Consolidation of the Netherlands operations is being undertaken to increase efficiencies and lower operating costs associated with the current operation of Videology® and is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2025 at which point we intend to fully vacate the Netherlands facility.
As a result of this action, we expect to incur cash charges for severance and other one-time termination benefits of $350 thousand. In addition, we expect to incur cash charges for other costs related to the facility consolidation, including moving costs, costs associated with the termination of the Netherlands facility lease and other consolidation costs, ranging from $200 thousand to $300 thousand.
We have recognized restructuring expenses related to the Videology Consolidation as follows:

Overview
This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, please refer to the discussion of our business and markets contained in “Part I; Item 1. Business,” of our 2024 Form 10-K.
We are a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing across a wide range of markets including semi, auto/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, safety/security and other. We have three reportable segments which are also our reporting units: Electronic Test, (which includes our semiconductor test
equipment, flying probe and in-circuit testers), Environmental Technologies (which includes our thermal test, process and storage products) and Process Technologies (which includes our induction heating and video imaging products).
All of our operating segments have multiple products that we design, manufacture and market to our customers. Due to a number of factors, our products have varying levels of gross margin. These factors include, for example, the amount of engineering time required to develop the product, the market or customer to which we sell the product and the level of competing products available from other suppliers. The needs of our customers ultimately determine the products that we sell in a given time period. Therefore, the mix of products sold in a given period can change significantly when compared against the prior period. As a result, our consolidated gross margin may be significantly impacted by a change in the mix of products sold in a particular period.
Markets
As discussed further in “Part I; Item 1. Business; Markets” of our 2024 Form 10-K, we are focused on specific target markets which include auto/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, safety/security as well as both the front-end and back-end of the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The semi market, which includes both the broader semiconductor market, as well as the more specialized ATE and wafer production sectors within the broader semiconductor market, has historically been the largest single market in which we operate. The semi market is characterized by rapid technological change, competitive pricing pressures and cyclical market patterns and is subject to periods of significant expansion or contraction in demand. Our intention is to continue diversifying our markets, our product offerings within the markets we serve and our customer base across all of our markets with the goal of reducing our dependence on any one market, product or customer. In particular, we are seeking to reduce the impact of volatility in the semi market on our results of operations.
The portion of our business that is derived from the semi market is substantially dependent upon the demand for ATE by semiconductor manufacturers and companies that specialize in the testing of integrated circuits (“ICs”) and, for our induction heating products, the demand for wafer production equipment. Demand for ATE or wafer production equipment is primarily driven by semiconductor manufacturers that are opening new, or expanding existing, semiconductor fabrication facilities or upgrading equipment, which in turn is dependent upon the current and anticipated market demand for ICs and products incorporating ICs. Such market demand can be the result of market expansion, development of new technologies or redesigned products to incorporate new features, or the replacement of aging equipment.
The semi market is highly cyclical with recurring periods of oversupply, which often severely impact the semi market's demand for the products we manufacture and sell into the market. This cyclicality can cause wide fluctuations in both our orders and revenue and, depending on our ability to react quickly to these shifts in demand, can significantly impact our results of operations. Market cycles are difficult to predict and, because they are generally characterized by sequential periods of growth or declines in orders and revenue during each cycle, year-over-year comparisons of operating results may not always be as meaningful as comparisons of periods at similar points in either up or down cycles. These periods of heightened or reduced demand can shift depending on various factors impacting both our customers and the markets that they serve. In addition, during both downward and upward cycles in the semi market, in any given quarter, the trend in both our orders and revenue can be erratic. This can occur, for example, when orders are canceled or currently scheduled delivery dates are accelerated or postponed by a significant customer or when customer forecasts and general business conditions fluctuate during a quarter.
While a significant portion of our orders and revenue are derived from the semi market, and our operating results generally follow the overall trend in the semi market, in any given period we may experience anomalies that cause the trend in our revenue from the semi market to deviate from the overall trend in the market. We believe that these anomalies may be driven by a variety of factors within the semi market, including, for example, changing product requirements, longer periods between new product offerings by OEMs and changes in customer buying patterns. In addition, in recent periods, we have seen instances when demand within the semi market is not consistent for each of our operating segments or for any given product within a particular operating segment. This inconsistency in demand can be driven by a number of factors but, in most cases, we have found that the primary reason is unique customer-specific changes in demand for certain products driven by the needs of their customers or markets served. Recently this has become more pronounced for our sales into the wafer production sector within the broader semiconductor market due to the limited market penetration we have into this sector and the variability of orders we have experienced from the few customers we support. These shifts in market practices and customer-specific needs have had, and may continue to have, varying levels of impact on our operating results and are difficult to quantify or predict from period to period.
Management has taken, and will continue to take, such actions it deems appropriate to adjust our strategies, products and operations to counter such shifts in market practices as they become evident.
As discussed further in “Part I; Item 1. Business; Strategy” of our 2024 Form 10-K, although the semi market remains our largest market, as part of our strategy to grow our business, we are focused on several other key target markets where we believe our products address test and process requirements and where we believe there is significant potential for growth. These key target markets include the auto/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences and safety/security markets. We believe that these markets are usually less cyclical than the semi market. While market share statistics exist for some of these markets, due to the nature of our highly specialized product offerings in these markets, we do not expect broad market penetration in many of these markets and, therefore, do not anticipate developing meaningful market shares in most of these markets.
In addition, because of our limited market share, our orders and revenue in any given period in these markets do not necessarily reflect the overall trends in these markets. Consequently, we are continuing to evaluate buying patterns and opportunities for growth in these, and other, markets that may affect our performance. The level of our orders and revenue in all of the markets we serve has varied in the past, and we expect will vary significantly in the future, as we work to build our presence in our current markets and establish new markets for our products.
Known Trends
As noted in “Part I; Item 1; Financial Statements; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note (10) Debt,” our Loan Agreement with M&T Bank (“M&T”) contains financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants included in the Loan Agreement except for the fixed charge coverage ratio, which was 0.99 to 1.0, for which we obtained a waiver from M&T.
The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated over the trailing twelve months, so the net loss reported in the first quarter will impact our ability to meet this covenant in future periods notwithstanding our strong cash position. We anticipate that we likely will not be in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as currently defined for the three months ended June 30, 2025. As a result, we are in discussions with M&T regarding options to address this covenant, including an amendment to the Credit Facility to adjust the formula used to calculate the fixed charge coverage ratio that reflects our strong cash position and provides flexibility to respond to volatile market conditions, a broader waiver in terms of scope and/or time from M&T, or paying down outstanding balances under the Credit Facility, however, there can be no assurance that a resolution acceptable to the Company will be attained.
We continue to monitor recent macroeconomic factors, including but not limited to changes in global trade policy, tariffs and related reciprocal or retaliatory trade actions announced by the U.S., China and other countries. The degree to which changes in global trade policy, tariffs and other related actions will impact our business, financial condition and results of operations depends on future developments, which are uncertain. Changes in global trade policies, tariffs and other related actions may negatively impact demand, pricing and cost for our products and technologies, contribute to the inherent uncertainties in estimating future customer demand and increase our material costs, any of which could negatively impacting our results of operations and cash flows. See “Part II; Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report, including the risk factor title “U.S. tariff policies and potential global retaliatory countermeasures could increase our cost, disrupt our supply chain or affect customer purchasing activities, any of which could negatively impact our results of operations.”
Global Supply Chain Constraints
In early October 2023, Hamas attacked Israel and Israel formally declared war in response to the attack. The conflict with Hamas and others in the region is ongoing, and it is unclear when it might end. Ambrell® has a sole source supplier of capacitors used in certain of our induction heating products that is located in Israel. This supplier is the sole source supplier of capacitors for numerous induction companies, and currently there are no viable alternatives available. We have been in frequent contact with our supplier since the conflict with Hamas began. We maintain a two-to-three month safety stock on these items. Our supplier has indicated that they have large stock available at more than one facility in Israel, so they believe they have redundancies in place that will help ensure that the supply chain to their customers is uninterrupted. We continue to monitor the situation closely and are staying in close contact with our supplier. However, there can be no assurance that the situation will not worsen which could impact our ability to ship certain of our induction heating products which could have a material impact on our future results of operations.
Acculogic Inc. (“Acculogic”) purchases certain parts from a key sole-source supplier in Belarus, which is bordered by Russia to the east and northeast and Ukraine to the south. As a result of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, in August 2024, the United States, Canada and the European Union added additional sanctions on Belarus, which included adding this supplier to a list of prohibited entities. We have not received materials from this supplier since the issuance of Executive Order 14038. Our remaining supply of these materials is significantly depleted and will be exhausted after the end of the second quarter of 2025. We have recently qualified a new supplier for these materials and have started receiving this new supply of materials. Testing is still ongoing, and we have not yet shipped systems incorporating these new materials to our customers but expect to do so before the end of the second quarter. Additionally, we have applied to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) to obtain permission for additional purchases from the Belarus supplier through December 31, 2025, but have not yet received the Office’s response and are uncertain of when that response may be received. Additionally, we are applying to Global Affairs Canada for similar permission, now that this supplier has been placed on a restricted parties list in Canada, as well. There can be no assurance that we will be granted a license by OFAC or Global Affairs Canada in a timely manner or at all, or that if granted a license by OFAC or Global Affairs Canada that such supplier in Belarus will be willing or able to provide these parts on reasonable commercial terms or at all.
In addition, while the supply chain and logistics challenges that we encountered throughout 2022 have eased, uncertainty in the global trade environment remains. As a result, we expect that we may continue to experience increased prices, lack of availability and logistics delays from time to time for the foreseeable future. The actions we have taken and are continuing to take to mitigate these risks include qualifying new vendors as alternate sources in our supply chain, increasing our inventory of raw materials and ordering further in advance of when we expect to need materials than has been our practice in the past. We have also increased the prices that we charge our customers, where appropriate, and continue to work with our customers to find alternate options for the shipment of products where they control aspects of the logistics process. However, the environment in which we operate is dynamic and shifts rapidly at times, and the success of our efforts to mitigate and address the impacts on our business may not be successful. As a result, we could see increases in our costs or reduced revenues which would impact the level of our earnings in future periods.
Please refer to “Part I; Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion of the risks associated with our business operations, including risks associated with foreign operations.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, long-lived assets, goodwill, identifiable intangibles, contingent consideration liabilities and deferred income tax valuation allowances. We base our estimates on historical experience and on appropriate and customary assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of these accounting estimates and assumptions are particularly sensitive because of their significance to our consolidated financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ markedly from what had been assumed when the financial statements were prepared. As of March 31, 2025, there have been no significant changes to the accounting estimates that we have deemed critical. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully described in “Part I; Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
The results of operations for our three operating segments are generally affected by the same factors described in the Overview section above. Separate discussions and analyses for each segment would be repetitive. The discussion and analysis that follows, therefore, is presented on a consolidated basis and includes discussion of factors unique to a particular operating segment where significant to an understanding of that segment.

Compared with the prior-year period, first quarter revenue was down as semi was impacted by $6.0 million in lower sales and industrial market sales declined $1.2 million. This was partially offset by increases of $2.0 million to auto/EV, $1.0 million to life sciences, and $1.3 million to other markets. Sequentially, revenue from industrial, life sciences and other markets increased compared with the trailing fourth quarter.
Orders and Backlog
We use orders and backlog as key performance metrics to analyze and measure our financial performance and results of operations. We define orders as purchase orders that we have accepted from our customers. Orders are recorded based on the date received and accepted by us. We believe tracking orders is useful in planning for future production needs and staffing levels and we use information about the level of our orders to make decisions about resource allocation, including appropriate levels of inventory purchases and the balance of inventory we carry at any given time. Another important operational measure used is backlog. Backlog is a common measurement used in industries with extended lead times for order fulfillment, like those in which we operate. Backlog at any given date represents the amount of net revenue that we expect to realize for unfilled orders received as of that date. We believe backlog is useful and use this information for similar reasons to those detailed above for orders. The majority of our backlog at any given time is expected to be fulfilled within the next twelve months. Depending on the terms of the purchase orders we have accepted, customers may have the ability to cancel an order or accelerate or postpone currently scheduled delivery dates. In some cases, we may have the ability to charge a cancellation fee if a purchase order we have accepted is later cancelled by a customer. Given that both orders and backlog are operational measures and our methodology for calculating orders and backlog do not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the SEC, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a breakdown of the orders received by market:

Compared with the prior-year period, first quarter orders increased reflecting strength in industrial, auto/EV, safety/security and life science markets while orders slowed in defense/aerospace and semi markets. Specifically in semi, orders from back-end were essentially flat, while demand in front-end remains low.
Sequentially, the decrease in orders was partially the result of customer delays during economic uncertainty, especially in the semi market where orders declined $6.0 million. Additionally, demand from defense/aerospace and life sciences slowed during the first quarter outweighing gains in demand from life sciences, auto/EV and safety/security markets.
At March 31, 2025, our backlog of unfilled orders for all products was $38.2 million compared to $55.5 million at March 31, 2024, and $39.5 million at December 31, 2024. Our backlog includes customer orders that we have accepted, substantially all of which we expect to deliver in the next twelve months. While backlog is calculated on the basis of firm purchase orders, a customer may cancel an order or accelerate or postpone currently scheduled delivery dates. Our backlog may be affected by the tendency of customers to rely on short lead times available from suppliers, including us, in periods of depressed demand. In periods of increased demand, there is a tendency towards longer lead times that has the effect of increasing backlog. As a result, our backlog at a particular date is not necessarily indicative of sales for any future period.
Gross Margin

Gross margin | | 41.5 | % | | 43.8 | % | | | | |
Gross margin declined 230 basis points in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same prior year period due to the absorption of fixed costs on lower volumes along with an unfavorable product sales mix. The current year period also includes a full quarter’s worth of Alfamation™ activity.
Selling Expense

Percentage of revenue | | 17.1 | % | | 15.4 | % | | | | |
Selling expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, declined slightly compared to the prior year period, but not at the rate of the revenue decline. Sales commissions, payroll and payroll related costs decreased, however, we recognized an increase in warranty expense compared to the prior year period. The full quarter impact of Alfamation™ was inconsequential.
Engineering and Product Development Expense

Percentage of revenue | | 9.2 | % | | 6.6 | % | | | | |
Engineering and product development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased compared to the prior year period due to the full quarter impact of Alfamation™. The increases were due to increased payroll and payroll related costs at Alfamation™.
General and Administrative Expense
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Percentage of revenue | | 21.8 | % | | 18.2 | % | | | | |
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased compared to the prior year period due to the full quarter impact of Alfamation™, partially offset by decreases in acquisition-related costs and a decrease in bonus expense. During the first quarter of 2025, we disaggregated the amortization of intangible assets and restructuring costs from general and administrative expenses in all periods presented.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets

Percentage of revenue | | 3.1 | % | | 2.0 | % | | | | |
Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased compared to the prior year period due to the full quarter impact of the additional finite-lived intangible assets acquired in the Alfamation™ acquisition.
Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025, represent the costs recognized for the Videology Consolidation of the Netherlands operations into our US operations in Mansfield, MA. These costs were for severance and retention accruals along with the payroll-related costs. See “Part I; Item 1. Financial Statements; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note (16) Restructuring” for further details. There were no restructuring programs in the prior year period.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Effective tax rate | | 16.5 | % | | 15.9 | % | | | | |
On a quarterly basis, we record income tax (benefit) or expense based on the expected annualized effective tax rate for the various taxing jurisdictions in which we operate our businesses. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a tax benefit based on our pre-tax loss and expected annualized rate, whereas in the comparable period we reported pre-tax income. There were no unusual tax adjustments recorded in either period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As discussed more fully in the “Overview” section above, our business and results of operations are substantially dependent upon the demand for ATE by semiconductor manufacturers and companies that specialize in the testing of ICs. The cyclical and volatile nature of demand for ATE makes estimates of future revenues, results of operations and net cash flows difficult.
Our primary historical source of liquidity and capital resources has been cash flow generated by our operations. In 2021, we also utilized our Credit Facility, which is discussed below, to fund our acquisitions. We manage our businesses to maximize operating cash flows as our primary source of liquidity for our short-term cash requirements, as discussed below. We use cash to fund growth in our operating assets, for new product research and development, for acquisitions and for stock repurchases. We currently anticipate that any additional long-term cash requirements related to our strategy would be funded through a combination of our cash and cash equivalents, our Credit Facility or by issuing equity.
Credit Facility
As discussed in “Note (10) Debt” to our consolidated financial statements in this Report, on October 15, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with M&T which, was subsequently amended on October 28, 2021, December 30, 2021, September 20, 2022, May 2, 2024, and December 18, 2024 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement includes a $50.5 million non-revolving delayed draw term note (the “Term Note”) and a $10.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and together with the Term Note, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility has a five-year contract period that began on the October 15, 2021, and, as amended, expires on May 2, 2031, and draws under the Term Note,as amended, are permissible until May 2, 2026.
At March 31, 2025, we have not borrowed any amounts under the $10.0 million Revolving Facility. Our borrowings under the Term Note are discussed below and our available drawing capacity under the Term Note at March 31, 2025, was $30.0 million. The principal balance of the Revolving Facility and the principal balance of any amount drawn under the Term Note accrues interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate or a bank-defined base rate plus an applicable margin, depending on leverage. The Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including a maximum ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA of not more than 3.0 to 1.0
and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. Our obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants included in the Loan Agreement, except for the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant which was 0.99 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, for which we have received a one-time waiver from M&T.
On October 28, 2021, we drew $12 million under the Term Note to finance the acquisition of Videology®. We also entered into an interest rate swap agreement with M&T as of this date which is designed to protect us against fluctuations in interest rates during the five-year repayment and amortization period. As a result, the annual interest rate we expect to pay for this draw under the Term Note is fixed at approximately 3.2% based on current leverage.
On December 29, 2021, we drew $8.5 million under the Term Note to finance the acquisition of Acculogic. We did not enter into an interest rate swap agreement with M&T related to this draw. The annual interest rate we expect to pay for this draw under the Term Note is variable. At March 31, 2025, it was 6.5% based on current leverage.
Alfamation™ Debt
As discussed further in “Note (3) Acquisition,” we assumed debt with the acquisition of Alfamation™ which totaled $11.3 million as of the acquisition date. The debt acquired is comprised of both fixed and variable rate bank issued term loans as well as short-term variable rate financing backed by Alfamation™’s accounts receivable. This debt is spread across several different institutions with monthly, quarterly or semi-annual repayment schedules.
At March 31, 2025, Alfamation™’s debt was valued at $4.9 million, including $1.1 million that is backed by Alfamation™’s accounts receivable. The reduction since the acquisition date represents repayments of short-term instruments and principal payments on long-term debt, net of new borrowings that are backed by Alfamation™’s accounts receivable. The short-term variable financing rate at March 31, 2025, was 3.5%. At March 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate payable on the bank issued term loans was 1.1% for fixed rate debt and 4.0% for variable rate debt and the overall weighted average interest rate for the bank issued term loans was 3.3%.
Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, related to our various debt arrangements was $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents and working capital were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 22,048 | | | $ | 19,830 | |
Working capital | | $ | 43,594 | | | $ | 46,864 | |
As of March 31, 2025, $12.0 million, or 55%, of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We currently expect our cash and cash equivalents, in combination with the borrowing capacity available under our Revolving Facility and the anticipated net cash to be provided by our operations in the next twelve months to be sufficient to support our short-term working capital requirements and other corporate requirements. Our Revolving Facility is discussed in “Note (10) Debt” to our consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Our material short-term cash requirements include payments due under our various lease agreements, recurring payroll and benefits obligations to our employees, purchase commitments for materials that we use in the products we sell and principal and interest payments on our debt. We estimate that our short-term working capital requirements currently range between $8.0 million and $10.0 million. We expect our current cash and cash equivalents, in combination with the borrowing capacity available under our Revolving Facility and the anticipated net cash to be provided by our operations to be sufficient to support these additional investments as well as our current short-term cash requirements.
Our current strategy for growth includes pursuing acquisition opportunities for complementary businesses, technologies or products. As previously discussed, we currently anticipate that any additional long-term cash requirements related to our strategy would be funded through a combination of our cash and cash equivalents, the remaining availability under the
Term Note or by issuing equity. The borrowing availability under the Term Note was expanded in September 2022 as discussed above and in “Note (10) Debt” to our consolidated financial statements in this Report.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $5.5 million, an increase of $3.5 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by increased collections of our accounts receivable, offset partially by the decrease in net earnings from the comparative period as a result of the net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2025, decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Non-cash adjustments to net (loss) earnings increased primarily due to increased depreciation and amortization resulting from the full-quarter impact of Alfamation™.
Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $0.2 million, a decreased usage of $19.0 million compared to the prior year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we used $18.9 million of cash to acquire Alfamation™, whereas in the current year period we did not have any acquisitions. Capital expenditures for property and equipment were consistent in both periods.
Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $3.4 million, an increased usage of $2.5 million compared to the prior year period. The increase is due to the repayments of short-term borrowings used in the Alfamation™ operations.
New or Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
See “Part I; Item 1. Financial Statements; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies; (s) Effect of Recently Adopted Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance and (t) Effect of Recently Issued Amendments to Authoritative Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted” for information concerning the implementation and impact of new or recently adopted accounting standards.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.
Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
This disclosure is not required for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, as opposed to absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Accordingly, our management has designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system were met.
CEO/CFO Conclusions about the Effectiveness of the Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, InTest management, including our CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be a party to legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors supplement the risk factors described in “Part I; Item 1A; Risk Factors” of our 2024 Form 10-K Report and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in our 2024 Form 10-K Report:
The terms and covenants relating to our credit facility could adversely impact our ability to pursue our strategy and our financial performance and liquidity, and thus we may need additional financial resources to maintain our liquidity.
Our credit facility with M&T Bank contains covenants requiring us to, among other things, provide financial and other information and to provide notice upon the occurrence of certain events affecting us or our business. These covenants also place restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, and enter into certain transactions, including selling assets, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, or engaging in transactions with affiliates. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the covenants under our credit facility, we would be in default thereunder and may be required to repay such debt with capital from other sources or otherwise not be able to draw down against our facility. Under such circumstances, we may have difficulty in locating another lender that would be willing to extend credit to us, and other sources of capital may not be available to us on reasonable terms or at all.
At December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of the covenants included in our Loan Agreement. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants included in the Loan Agreement, except for the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant which was 0.99 to 1.0 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, for which we have received a one-time waiver from M&T on May 1, 2025. We anticipate that we likely will not be in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as currently defined for the three months ended June 30, 2025. As a result, we are in discussions with M&T regarding options to address this covenant, including an amendment to the Credit Facility to adjust the formula used to calculate the fixed charge coverage ratio that reflects our strong cash position and provides flexibility to respond to volatile market conditions, a broader waiver in terms of scope and/or time from M&T, or paying down outstanding balances under the Credit Facility, however, there can be no assurance that a resolution acceptable to the Company will be attained. See “Part I; Item 1. Financial Statements; Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; Note (10) Debt” “Part I; Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; Liquidity and Capital Resources; Credit Facility” in this Report for a discussion of the material terms of our credit facility.
U.S. tariff policies and potential global retaliatory countermeasures could increase our cost, disrupt our supply chain or affect customer purchasing activities, any of which could negatively impact our results of operations.
Changes in U.S. and foreign trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, the recent imposition of a 10% base tariff on imports from certain countries and higher, country-specific tariffs on other countries, including a 145% tariff on certain Chinese imports, has increased our material costs and may force us to seek alternative suppliers or navigate through a period of reduced orders and revenues and/or unprofitability if we are unable to pass cost increases onto customers. We believe that approximately 73% of our materials are sourced from within the United States, however approximately 52% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were shipped to customers outside of the United States and thus potentially exposed to tariffs. Retaliatory tariffs by China and other countries could further disrupt our supply chain, reduce demand for our products, or result in lost sales. The unpredictable nature of these trade policies and the potential for further escalation may increase uncertainty and volatility in our industry, which could negatively impact our financial performance.
