Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Proto Labs, Inc. (Protolabs, the Company, we, us or our) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For further information, refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 21, 2025.
The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a full set of financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2025 as referenced above.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company did not recently adopt any accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, that enhances the transparency of income tax disclosures by expanding annual disclosure requirements related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual year ending December 31, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine the impact on the Company's disclosures.
Note 3 – Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased from the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options and other stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. Performance stock units are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the performance conditions have been satisfied. Anti-dilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and were 436,669 and 421,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

Intangible assets allocated to the Protolabs Network entities consisted of intangible assets of €11.6 million in Europe and $16.6 million in the United States as of the date of the acquisition. The Euro denominated intangible assets are translated at the end of each period using the current exchange rates resulting in a foreign currency translation adjustment that is recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency unrealized losses related to intangible assets were $1.6 million and $2.2 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.9 million and $1.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's assets and liabilities that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company’s cash consists of bank deposits and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market mutual funds. The Company determines the fair value of these investments using Level 1 inputs. The Company's marketable securities consist of short-term and long-term agency, municipal, corporate and other debt securities. Fair value for the corporate debt securities is primarily determined based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Fair values for the U.S. municipal securities, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities are primarily determined using dealer quotes or quoted market prices for similar securities (Level 2).
The following table summarizes financial assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Total marketable securities | $ | 31,937 | | | $ | — | | | $ | (145) | | | $ | 31,792 | |
| | | | | | | |
Fair values for the corporate debt securities are primarily determined based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Fair values for the U.S. municipal securities, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities are primarily determined using dealer quotes or quoted market prices for similar securities (Level 2).
Classification of marketable securities as current or non-current is based upon the security’s maturity date as of the date of these financial statements.
The March 31, 2025 balance of available-for-sale debt securities by contractual maturity is shown in the following table at fair value. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

Note 7 – Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of raw materials, which are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the standard cost method, which approximates first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for slow-moving, damaged and discontinued items and provides allowances to reduce such items identified to their recoverable amounts.
The Company’s inventory consisted of the following as of the dates indicated:

Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation
On July 8, 2022, the board of directors approved the Proto Labs, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Company's shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders on August 29, 2022, and subsequently amended and restated by the Company's shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 23, 2024 (as amended and restated, the 2022 Plan) to increase the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2022 Plan by an additional 430,000 shares, add a minimum vesting requirement, and extend the expiration date so that the term of the 2022 Plan runs for ten years from the date of the shareholder approval. Under the 2022 Plan, the Company has the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards. Awards under the 2022 Plan have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant. The compensation and talent committee may provide that the vesting or payment of any award will be subject to the attainment of specified performance measures in addition to the satisfaction of any continued service requirements and the compensation and talent committee will determine whether such measures have been achieved. The per-share exercise price of stock options and SARs granted under the 2022 Plan generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant.
The Company also has outstanding awards under the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2012 Plan), although the plan expired in February 2022 and no additional awards have since been or will be made under the 2012 Plan. The 2012 Plan provided the Company the ability to grant stock options, SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards. Awards under the 2012 Plan that subsequently expired, were forfeited or cancelled, or settled in cash after August 29, 2022 became available for awards under the 2022 Plan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allows eligible employees to purchase a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock each offering period at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15 percent of their eligible compensation, subject to plan limitations. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods with a single purchase period ending May 15 and November 15, respectively. At the end of each offering period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last trading day of the offering period.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense was $4.0 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Stock Options
The following table summarizes stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | |
Exercisable at March 31, 2025 | 220,489 | | $ | 63.63 | |
| | | |
The outstanding options generally have a term of ten years. For employees, options granted become exercisable ratably over the vesting period, which is generally a period of four years, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continuing service to the Company.
The weighted-average grant date fair value of options that were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $22.07.
The following table provides the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model valuation of options during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

As of March 31, 2025, there was $18.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.
Performance Stock
Performance stock units (PSUs) are expressed in terms of a target number of PSUs, with anywhere between 0 percent and 200 percent of that target number capable of being earned and vesting at the end of a three-year performance period depending on the Company’s performance in the final year of the performance period and the award recipient’s continued employment. The Company’s PSUs are based on market conditions and the related compensation cost is based on the fair value at grant date calculated using a Monte Carlo pricing model.
The following table summarizes performance stock activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Note 10 – Income Taxes
The Company is subject to income tax in multiple jurisdictions and the use of estimates is required to determine the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The income tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 39.9 percent compared to 31.8 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate increased by 8.1 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a one-time release of tax reserves arising from a successful audit closure in 2024 that did not repeat in 2025.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent due to various factors, including operating in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions partially offset by tax credits for which the Company qualifies.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $3.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and $3.4 million as of December 31, 2024, respectively, that if recognized would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and reports the liability in current or long-term income taxes payable as appropriate.
Note 11 – Segment Reporting
The Company’s reportable segments are based on the internal reporting used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), to assess operating performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources. The Company’s reportable segments are based upon geographic region, consisting of the United States and Europe. The Corporate Unallocated category includes non-reportable segments, as well as research and development and general and administrative costs that the Company does not allocate directly to its operating segments.
Intercompany transactions primarily relate to intercontinental activity and have been eliminated and are excluded from the reported amounts. The difference between income from operations and pre-tax income relates to foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments, which are not allocated to business segments.
The following table summarizes selected financial information by reportable segments:

With the addition of the Protolabs Network in 2021, our global network of premium manufacturing partners significantly expands the breadth and depth of our manufacturing capabilities, enabling us to offer customers a wider variety of lead times and pricing options, and an expanded envelope of parts (complexity, size, etc.).
Key Financial Measures and Trends
Revenue
Our operations are comprised of two geographic operating segments in the United States and Europe. On October 21, 2024, the Company's board of directors approved a plan related to the Company's manufacturing facilities in Germany. The plan includes the closure of the Company's prototype injection molding manufacturing facility in Eschenlohe, Germany, and the discontinuation of Direct Metal Laser Sintering 3D printing services through its 3D printing facility in Putzbrunn, Germany. The Company expects to substantially complete the plan during fiscal year 2025. The Company intends to continue offering all of its manufacturing services to customers across Europe, including injection molding and metal 3D printing. These services will be fulfilled through internal manufacturing facilities and a network of manufacturing partners.
Revenue is derived from the sale or parts fulfilled through our owned manufacturing factories and worldwide network of premium manufacturing partners. Our product lines consist of Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal. Injection Molding revenue consists of sales of custom injection molds and injection-molded parts. CNC Machining revenue consists of sales of CNC-machined custom parts. 3D Printing revenue consists of sales of 3D-printed parts. Sheet Metal revenue consists of sales of fabricated sheet metal custom parts. Our revenue is generated from a diverse customer base and our historical and current efforts to increase revenue have been directed at gaining new customers and selling to our existing customer base by increasing marketing and selling activities, including:
•expanding the breadth and scope of our products by adding more sizes and materials to our offerings;
•the introduction of our 3D Printing product line through our acquisition of FineLine in 2014;
•expanding 3D Printing to Europe through our acquisition of Alphaform in 2015;
•the introduction of our Sheet Metal product line through our acquisition of Rapid Manufacturing Group, LLC in 2017;
•continuously improving the usability of our product lines such as our web-centric applications; and
•providing customers with on-demand access to a global network of premium manufacturing partners through our acquisition of Hubs in 2021.
The following table summarizes our unique customer contacts and revenue per customer contact:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |
Revenue (in thousands) | $ | 126,205 | | | $ | 127,890 | | | | | |
Customer contacts | 21,627 | | 22,466 | | | | |
Revenue per customer contact1 | $5,836 | | $5,693 | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
1 Revenue per customer contact is calculated using the revenue recognized during the respective period divided by the actual number of customer contacts served during the same period. Customer contacts are product developers, engineers, procurement and supply chain professionals and other individuals who place an order, and that order is shipped and invoiced during the period. The Company believes revenue per customer contact is useful to investors in evaluating the underlying business trends and ongoing operating performance of the Company.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Cost of revenue consists primarily of raw materials, equipment depreciation, employee compensation including benefits and stock-based compensation, facilities costs, overhead allocations associated with the manufacturing process for molds and custom parts, and costs to procure parts through our network of premium manufacturing partners. We expect our personnel-related costs to increase in order to retain and attract top talent and remain competitive in the market. Overall, we expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars.
We define gross profit as our revenue less our cost of revenue, and we define gross margin as gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross profit and gross margin are affected by many factors, including our mix of revenue produced in our internal manufacturing operations and outsourced to our external manufacturing partners, pricing, sales volume, manufacturing costs, the costs associated with increasing production capacity, the mix between domestic and foreign revenue sources, the mix of revenue by product line, and foreign currency exchange rates.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consist of marketing and sales, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component in each of these categories.
Our business strategy is to continue to be a leading online and technology-enabled manufacturer of quick-turn, on-demand injection-molded, CNC-machined, 3D-printed and fabricated sheet metal custom parts for prototyping and low-volume production. In order to achieve our goals, we anticipate continued substantial investments in technology and personnel, resulting in increased operating expenses in the future.
Marketing and sales. Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of employee compensation, benefits, commissions, stock-based compensation, marketing demand generation costs such as electronic, print and pay-per-click advertising, trade shows and other related overhead. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we increase the number of marketing and sales professionals and marketing demand generation costs targeted to increase our customer base and grow revenue.
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel and outside service costs related to the development of new processes and product lines, enhancement of existing product lines, development of software for internal use, maintenance of internally developed software, quality assurance and testing. Costs for internal use software are evaluated by project and capitalized where appropriate under ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software. We expect research and development expense to increase in the future as we seek to enhance our e-commerce interface technology, internal software and supporting business systems, and continue to expand our product lines.
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation, professional service fees related to accounting, tax and legal, and other related overhead. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in the future as we continue to grow and expand as a global organization.
Benefits or costs related to disposal and exit activities. Costs related to disposal and exit activities is driven by our decision to close certain manufacturing facilities in Germany. The expenses consist primarily of operating expenses, including employee severance, write-down of fixed assets and facility-related charges. Benefits may result from adjustments to initial estimates regarding the nature and timing of disposal and exit activities.
Other Income, net
Other income, net primarily consists of foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments. Our foreign currency-related gains and losses will vary depending upon movements in underlying foreign currency exchange rates. Our interest income will vary each reporting period depending on our average cash balances during the period, composition of our marketable security portfolio and the current level of interest rates.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, local and foreign taxes based on pre-tax income. Overall, our effective tax rate for 2025 and beyond may differ from historical effective tax rates due to increases in losses in foreign operations that are not eligible for tax benefits on account of valuation allowances, as well as any future tax law changes that may impact our effective tax rate.

| | | | | | | | | | | |
Our revenue decreased $1.7 million, or 1.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decline in revenue was primarily driven by the leap year in 2024, resulting in a decrease in the number of operating days in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. By reportable segment, revenue in the United States decreased $1.2 million, or 1.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Revenue in Europe decreased $0.5 million, or 1.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. International revenue was negatively impacted by $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of foreign currency movements, primarily due to the weakening of the British Pound and Euro relative to the United States Dollar.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we served 21,627 unique customer contacts, which is a decrease of 3.7% from the same period in 2024. Our customer contacts served decreased at a rate higher than our decrease in revenue. This was primarily due to our mix of customers served in the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024 and our strategic focus to earn larger orders from our customers as we strive to be their supplier of choice by serving their custom parts needs through the comprehensive offer of our factory and the Protolabs Network. Our revenue per customer contact grew 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

revenue and a 46.3% increase in Other Revenue, in each case for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue increased $0.1 million, or 0.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, while revenue decreased 1.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in the cost of revenue of $0.1 million was primarily driven by increases of $0.4 million in personnel and related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, partially offset by decreases in equipment and facility-related costs of $0.3 million.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit decreased $1.8 million, or 3.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Gross margin decreased from 44.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2024 to 44.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Operating Expenses, Other Income, net and Provision for Income Taxes
Marketing and Sales. Our marketing and sales expenses increased $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases in personnel and related costs of $0.4 million primarily due to merit increases and incentive compensation related to commissions and $0.2 million in marketing program costs.
Research and Development. Our research and development expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 5.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to decreases in personnel and related costs of $0.4 million primarily due largely to lower contract labor spend and $0.4 million in professional services, partially offset by increases of $0.2 million in operating costs.
General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 3.3%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to by increases of $1.0 million in administrative costs, partially offset by decreases in personnel and related costs of $0.2 million primarily due to lower headcount and $0.3 million in stock based compensation.
Benefits related to exit and disposal. Our decision to exit and close certain operations in Germany resulted in less than $0.1 million in personnel and related cost benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The benefit is the result of timing of employee separation payments and changes from estimated amounts accrued in 2024. We had no costs related to exit and disposal activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Other income, net. We recognized other income, net of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.6 million compared to other income, net of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily consisted of $1.4 million in interest income on investments and other income. Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily consisted of $1.1 million in interest income on investments and other income, partially offset by $0.2 million of foreign currency losses.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate of 39.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased 8.1% compared to 31.8% for the same period in 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a one-time release of tax reserves arising from a successful audit closure in 2024, that did not repeat in 2025. Our income tax provision of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $0.1 million as compared to our income tax provision of $2.5 million for the same period in 2024.

Sources of Liquidity
Historically, we have primarily financed our operations and capital expenditures through cash flow from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $82.7 million as of March 31, 2025, a decrease of $6.4 million from December 31, 2024. The decrease in our cash was primarily due to $1.3 million for purchases of property, equipment and other capital assets, $6.6 million for purchases of marketable securities and $20.9 million in repurchases of common stock, which were partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $18.4 million and proceeds from call redemptions and maturities of marketable securities of $4.9 million.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Critical Accounting Estimates
We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included Part II, Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information on recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Risk
As a result of our foreign operations, we have revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. We generate revenue and incur production and sourcing costs and operating expenses in British Pounds and Euros.
Our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the United States Dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies. Additionally, our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the British Pound appreciates relative to the Euro. As we expand internationally, our results of operations and cash flows will become increasingly subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
We have not used forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk. Foreign currency risk can be assessed by estimating the change in results of operations or financial position resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates. We believe such a change would generally not have a material impact on our financial position, but could have a material impact on our results of operations. We recognized foreign currency gains of $0.1 million and foreign currency losses of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The changes in foreign exchange rates had an adverse impact on consolidated revenue of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time frames specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, as of the date of these financial statements, we do not believe we are party to any litigation the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes a discussion of our risk factors. There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On February 4, 2025, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program (the February 2025 Program). The February 2025 Program is open-ended and authorizes repurchases of shares of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated purchases, with a total stock repurchase authorized of up to $100 million. We have $79.1 million remaining under this authorization. The February 2025 Program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares of our common stock and remains in effect until the total authorized amount is expended or until further action by our board of directors. The actual timing, manner, number and value of shares repurchased under the February 2025 Program will be determined by our management in its discretion and will depend on several factors, including the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable requirements, and other considerations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 513,739 shares of our common stock at a total purchase price of $20.9 million under this program. Common stock repurchase activity through March 31, 2025 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Period | | Total Number of Shares Purchased | | Average Price Paid per Share | | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs | | Maximum Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in thousands) (1) |
