New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-13

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)." The provisions of this standard require financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. An allowance account would be established to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. ASU 2016-13 also provides that credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The guidance was amended through various ASU's subsequent to ASU 2016-13, all of which was effective ~~for us~~ beginning fiscal 2020. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on a prospective basis on December 29, 2019, the first day of fiscal 2020. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2018-15

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." The new guidance clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted ASU 2018-15 on a prospective basis on December 29, 2019, the first day of fiscal 2020. The adoption did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2019-12

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. We have not yet determined the impact of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2020-04

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Referenced Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The amendments in this update apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments in this update are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities. We have not yet evaluated the transition approach for our LIBOR indexed contracts and have not determined whether we will be electing such expedients and exceptions.

Release No. 33-10786

In May 2020, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, which amends the financial statement requirements for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and related pro forma financial information required under SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-05. The final rule modifies the significance test required in SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 1-02(w) by raising the significance threshold for reporting dispositions of a business from 10% to 20% and by modifying the calculation of the investment and income tests. The modifications are effective for fiscal years starting after December 31, 2020 with early adoption permitted. We early adopted these modifications on June 28, 2020, the first day of the third quarter.

Note 4 — Acquisition

FRT Acquisition

On October 9, 2019, we acquired 100% of the shares of FRT GmbH ("FRT"), a German-based company, for total consideration of $26.9 million, net of cash acquired of $1.7 million. The fair value of the purchase consideration was comprised of a $22.2 million cash payment and $6.5 million of contingent ~~consideration.~~consideration as of October 9, 2019.

We estimated the acquisition price and the allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, October 9, 2019. We subsequently made certain immaterial adjustments to the acquisition price allocation related to

acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including to intangibles assets. ~~Our purchase accounting remains open at March 28, 2020, subject to finalization~~We finalized our allocation of the ~~fair value of certain acquired assets and liabilities. The estimated fair value of~~ assets acquired, including goodwill and intangibles, and liabilities assumed isfor the purchase as follows (in thousands):

The intangible assets as of the closing date of the acquisition included (in thousands):


	Amount		Weighted Average Useful Life (in years)
Developed technologies	$	12,505	8.0
Customer relationships	3,071		6.0
Backlog	1,645		0.5
Trade names	208		2.0
Total intangible assets	$	17,429	7.0

Indications of fair value of the intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition were determined using either the income, market or replacement cost methodologies. The intangible assets are being amortized over periods which reflect the pattern in which economic benefits of the assets are expected to be realized.

The contingent consideration is a cash amount equal to 1.5x Earnings Before Interest and Tax ("EBIT") as defined in the purchase agreement, from a minimum of 0 up to a maximum of €10.3 million, payable subject to the performance of the acquired business in calendar 2020. WeFor purchase accounting, we estimated the fair value of contingent consideration using a probability weighted approach. Key assumptions in determining the fair value of contingent consideration include estimating the probability of achieving certain EBIT levels and discounting at an appropriate discount rate. See Note 8, Fair Value and Derivative Instruments, for further discussion on the fair value of contingent consideration.

This acquisition strengthens our leadership in test and measurement by expanding our addressable market into 3D hybrid surface metrology and extending the optical applications scope of our existing Systems segment.

Separate from the purchase agreement, on October 25, 2019, we entered into a term loan agreement with a lender for an aggregate amount of $23.4 million to finance the acquisition. ~~The~~See Note 6, Debt, for further discussion of the term loan ~~agreement has not changed during the three months ended March 28, 2020 from that disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.~~agreement.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Valuation of intangible assets involves multiple assumptions. The key assumptions are described below.

Developed technologies acquired primarily consists of existing technology related to hybrid 3D surface metrology measurement equipment. We valued the developed technologies using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. Using this approach, the estimated fair values were calculated using expected future cash flows from specific products discounted to their net present values at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return.

Customer relationships represent the fair value of future projected revenues that will be derived from the sale of products to FRT's existing customers. We valued customer relationships using the incremental cash flow method. This method estimates value based on the incremental cash flow afforded by having the customers relationships in place on the acquisition date versus having no relationships in place and needing to replicate or replace those relationships. The incremental cash flows are then discounted to a present value to arrive at an estimate of fair value for this asset class.

Backlog represents business under existing contractual obligations. Expected cash flow from backlog was valued on a direct cash flow basis.

The identified trade names ~~intangibles relate~~intangible relates to the estimated fair value of future cash flows related to the FRT brand. We valued trade names by applying the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. This method is based on the application of a royalty rate to forecasted revenue under the trade name.

Goodwill

The excess of purchase price over the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the amount of goodwill resulting from the acquisition. We believe the factors that contributed to goodwill include synergies that are specific to our consolidated business, such as cost savings and operational efficiencies, and the acquisition of a talented workforce that expands our expertise in business development and commercializing semiconductor test products, none of which qualify for recognition as a separate intangible asset. We do not expect any portion of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition was recorded as a non-current asset and is not amortized, but is subject to an annual review for impairment.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition was allocated to the FRT reporting unit within the Systems reportable segment.

We have not presented unaudited combined pro forma financial information as the FRT acquisition was not significant to our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Baldwin Park Acquisition

On July 30, 2020, we acquired the probe card assets of Advantest Corporation ("Baldwin Park") for total cash consideration of $35 million. This acquisition brings important enabling technologies and capabilities for designing and manufacturing advanced probe cards, and adds a complementary 3D-NAND Flash probe-card product that is qualified and in production at one of the world's leading NAND Flash manufacturers.

As of the reporting date, we have not completed the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. While the identification of identifiable intangible assets is still in process, we expect certain amounts provisionally recorded as goodwill will be ultimately allocated to such assets as customer relationships, developed technologies, backlog and potentially other technology-related assets as we complete purchase accounting. Consistent with the status of the identification of intangible assets, at this time we do not have an estimate of the allocation of value between amortizing and non-amortizing intangible assets, however we do expect that some amount of intangible assets provisionally recorded as goodwill will ultimately be allocated to an amortizing intangible asset. At the time such amount is estimable, we will record any amortization required between the acquisition date and the date at which the amounts become estimable. While we do not yet have a reasonable basis on which to record any such amortization, the impact to the financial statements as a whole is not expected to be material assuming typical lives of these assets and ranges of potential allocation of value.

The amounts presented below represent provisional amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are recorded based on the best information available. As described above, adjustments to fair value for intangible assets have not yet been determined, however preliminary estimates have been determined for trade inventories and property, plant, and equipment step up. These provisional amounts are included in the table below and in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are subject to revision as the fair value of the associated assets acquired and liabilities assumed is finalized. The total estimated purchase price would be allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the provisional amounts, as follows (in thousands):


	Amount
Accounts receivable	$	4,365
Inventory	2,318
Property, plant and equipment	9,053
Operating lease, right of use assets	519
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	317
Tangible assets acquired	16,572

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(572)
Operating lease liabilities	(519)

Total tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed	15,481

Goodwill	19,519
Net Assets Acquired	$	35,000

The operating results of the acquired business are included in the Company’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. Pro forma financial information has not been provided for the acquisition of Baldwin Park as it is not significant to the Company’s operations and financial position. Included in Cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 is $0.5 million of amortization of the estimated step-up to fair value for finished goods and work-in-process inventories acquired and then sold to customers within the quarter.

(1) Represents our minimum interest payment commitments at 1.91% per annum for the Building Term Loan and 1.30% per annum for the FRT Term Loan.

CMI Term Loan

On June 24, 2016, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association ("HSBC"), as administrative agent, co-lead arranger, sole bookrunner and syndication agent, other lenders that may from time-to-time be a party to the Credit Agreement, and certain guarantors. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, we obtained a senior secured term loan facility of $150 million (the “CMI Term Loan”). The proceeds of the CMI Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the purchase price paid in connection with the Cascade Microtech acquisition in fiscal 2016 and to pay related bank fees and expenses.

The CMI Term Loan bore interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus 2.00% per annum or (ii) Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.00% per annum. We elected to pay interest at 2.00% over the one-month LIBOR rate. Interest payments were payable in monthly installments over a five-year period.

The principal payments on the CMI Term Loan were paid in equal quarterly installments that began June 30, 2016, in an annual amount equal to 5% for year one, 10% for year two, 20% for year three, 30% for year four and 35% for year five. The final payment on the CMI Term Loan was June 30, 2020 and we are no longer subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

FRT Term Loan

On October 25, 2019, we entered into a $23.4 million three-year credit facility loan agreement (the "FRT Term Loan") with HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt AG, Germany, to fund the acquisition of FRT GmbH, which we acquired on October 9, 2019. See Note 4, Acquisition,for further details of the acquisition.

The FRT Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus 1.75% per annum and will be repaid in quarterly installments of approximately $2.0 million plus interest. The interest rate at September 26, 2020 was 1.30%

The obligations under the FRT Term Loan are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by FormFactor, Inc. The FRT Term Loan contains negative covenants customary for financing of this type, including covenants that place limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, the payment of dividends; dispositions; fundamental changes, including mergers and acquisitions; loans and investments; sale leasebacks; negative pledges; transactions with affiliates; changes in fiscal year; sanctions and anti-bribery laws and regulations, and modifications to charter documents in a manner materially adverse to the Lenders. The FRT Term Loan also contains affirmative covenants and representations and warranties customary for financing of this type. As of September 26, 2020, the balance outstanding pursuant to the FRT term loan was $18.3 million and we were in compliance with all covenants.

Building Term Loan

On June 22, 2020, we entered into an $18.0 million 15-year credit facility loan agreement (the “Building Term Loan”) with MUFG Union Bank, National Association ("Union Bank"). The proceeds of the Building Term Loan were used to purchase a building adjacent to our leased facilities in Livermore, California.

On March 17, 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Union Bank to hedge the interest payments on the Building Term Loan for the notional amount of $18.0 million. As future levels of LIBOR over the life of the loan are uncertain, we entered into this interest-rate swap agreement to hedge the exposure in interest rate risks associated with movement in LIBOR rates. By entering into the agreement, we convert a floating rate interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.75% into a fixed rate interest at 2.75%. The interest rate swap also includes a 0% floor that is effective for one year from the date of the swap. As of September 26, 2020, the notional amount of the loan that is subject to this interest rate swap is $17.8 million. See Note 8, Fair Value and Derivative Instruments, for additional information.

The obligations under the Building Term Loan are guaranteed by a deed of trust covering certain real property and improvements and certain personal property used in connection therewith. The deed of trust creates a first priority lien or encumbrance on the property with only such exceptions as may be approved by the Union Bank in writing.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants customary for financing of this type. As of September 26, 2020, the balance outstanding pursuant to the Building Term Loan was $17.8 million and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Note 78 — Fair Value and Derivative Instruments

Whenever possible, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are determined using quoted market prices of identical securities or quoted market prices of similar securities from active markets. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level 1 valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical securities;

•Level 2 valuations utilize significant observable inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices near the reporting date in markets that are less 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; and

•Level 3 valuations utilize unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology and include our own data about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances.

We did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis to or from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three and nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 or the year ended December 28, 2019.

The carrying values of Cash, Accounts receivable, net, Restricted cash, Prepaid expenses and other current assets, Accounts payable, Accrued liabilities, and Current portion of term loans, net of unamortized issuance costs, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

No changes were made to our valuation techniques during the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020.

Cash Equivalents

The fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on quoted market prices for similar or identical securities.

Marketable Securities

We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale and value them utilizing a market approach. Our investments are priced by pricing vendors who provide observable inputs for their pricing without applying significant judgment. Broker pricing is used mainly when a quoted price is not available, the investment is not priced by our pricing vendors or when a broker price is more reflective of fair value. Our broker-priced investments are categorized as Level 2 investments because fair value is based on similar assets without applying significant judgments. In addition, all investments have a sufficient trading volume to demonstrate that the fair value is appropriate.

Unrealized gains and losses were immaterial and were recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We did not have any other-than-temporary unrealized gains or losses at either period end included in these financial statements.

Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration, arising from the acquisition of FRT, ~~(see Note 4),~~ is a cash amount equal to 1.5x EBIT as defined in the purchase agreement, up to a maximum of €10.3 million, payable subject to the performance of the acquired business in calendar 2020. We estimated the fair value of contingent consideration using a probability weighted approach. Key assumptions in determining the fair value of contingent consideration include estimating ~~the probability of achieving certain~~ EBIT levels that are likely to be achieved during the performance period and discounting at an appropriate discount rate. Contingent consideration as of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 was ~~$6.5~~estimated to be $3.0 million, ~~and which increased by $1.1~~a net decrease of $2.4 million from $5.4 million as of December 28, ~~2019~~2019. The net decrease was as a result of a $1.2 million increase in the estimated contingent consideration upon acquisition and as part of purchase accounting that was adjusted in the first fiscal quarter of 2020, offset by a net $3.6 million decrease in the estimated contingent consideration from subsequent ~~immaterial adjustments.~~remeasurement of the liability and foreign currency translation.

Interest Rate Swaps

The fair value of our interest rate swap contracts is determined at the end of each reporting period based on valuation models that use interest rate yield curves as inputs. For accounting purposes, our interest rate swap contracts qualify for, and are designated as, cash flow hedges. The cash flows associated with the interest rate swaps are reported in Net cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are recorded within ~~Prepaid expenses~~Accrued liabilities and ~~other current assets~~Other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The impact of the interest rate swaps on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income was as follows (in thousands):

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts

We operate and sell our products in various global markets. As a result, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against future movements in foreign exchange rates that affect certain existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities and forecasted foreign currency revenue and expense transactions. Under this program, our strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures mitigated by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts in order to mitigate the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses.

We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. For accounting purposes, certain of our foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and, accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recorded within Other ~~expense,~~income, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for both realized and unrealized gains and losses. Certain of our foreign currency forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges, and, accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive ~~loss~~income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and in the same line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the impact of the hedge transaction. At ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, we expect to reclassify ~~$0.2~~$0.5 million of the amount accumulated in ~~Other~~other comprehensive ~~loss~~income (loss) to earnings during the next 12 months, due to the recognition in earnings of the hedged forecasted transactions.

The fair value of our foreign exchange derivative contracts was determined based on current foreign currency exchange rates and forward points. All of our foreign exchange derivative contracts outstanding at ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 will mature by the ~~second~~third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

We measure and report our non-financial assets such as Property, plant and equipment, Goodwill and Intangible assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis if we determine these assets to be impaired or in the period when we make a business acquisition. Other than as discussed in Note 4, Acquisition, there were 0 assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three and nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 or ~~March 30,~~September 28, 2019.

Note 89 — Warranty

We offer warranties on certain products and record a liability for the estimated future costs associated with warranty claims at the time revenue is recognized. The warranty liability is based upon historical experience and our estimate of the level of future costs. While we engage in product quality programs and processes, our warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs. We continuously monitor product returns for warranty and maintain a reserve for the related expenses based upon our historical experience and any specifically identified failures. As we sell new products to our customers, we must exercise considerable judgment in estimating the expected failure rates. This estimating process is based on historical experience of similar products, as well as various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized as a component of Cost of revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our contractual obligations and commitments have not materially changed as of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019.

Legal Matters

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. As of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, and as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Note 1214 — Leases

We lease real estate space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements for commercial and industrial space, as well as for our corporate headquarters located in Livermore, California. Our leases have remaining terms of 1 to 158 years, and some leases include options to extend up to 20 years. We also have operating leases for automobiles with remaining lease terms of 1 to 4 years. We did not include any of our renewal options in our lease terms for calculating our lease liability as the renewal options allow us to maintain operational flexibility and we are not reasonably certain we will exercise these options at this time. The weighted-average remaining lease term for our operating leases was 87 years as of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 and the weighted-average discount rate was ~~4.40%~~4.52%.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

Note 1315 — Revenue

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations: On ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, we had ~~$4.0~~$3.8 million of remaining performance obligations, which were comprised of deferred service contracts and extended warranty contracts not yet delivered. We expect to recognize approximately ~~70%~~31.9% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2020, approximately ~~19%~~49.9% in fiscal 2021, and approximately ~~11%~~18.2% in fiscal 2022 and thereafter. The foregoing excludes the value of other remaining performance obligations as they have original durations of one year or less, and also excludes information about variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.

Contract balances: The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A receivable is recognized in the period we deliver goods or provide services or when our right to consideration is unconditional. A contract asset is recorded when we have performed under the contract but our right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets as of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 were ~~$2.6~~$3.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under a contract and are satisfied as the associated revenue is recognized. Contract liabilities are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the end of each reporting period as a component of Deferred revenue and Other liabilities. Contract liabilities as of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 and December 28, 2019 were ~~$10.7~~$14.7 million and $10.8 million, respectively. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, we recognized ~~$5.8~~$8.6 million of revenue, that was included in contract liabilities as of December 28, 2019.

Costs to obtain a contract: We generally expense sales commissions when incurred as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense, as the amortization period is typically less than one year.

Revenue by Category: Refer to Note ~~14 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~16, Operating Segments and Enterprise-Wide Information, for further details.

Note 17 — Subsequent Events

20On October 19, 2020, subsequent to the balance sheet date, we acquired High Precision Devices, Inc., for total cash consideration of $17.0 million, subject to adjustment for changes in working capital and payoff of debt as stipulated in the merger agreement. This acquisition brings highly specialized skills and know-how to address the unique test challenges within the emerging quantum computing, superconducting computing, and ultra-sensitive sensor markets which operate at temperatures as low as 30 millikelvin.

The transaction will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Due to the limited time since the acquisition date, the initial purchase allocation for the business combination is incomplete at this time. Disclosures regarding amounts recognized for major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be provided once the initial accounting is completed. The acquired business is not expected to be material to the Company’s operations and consolidated financial position.

The forward-looking statements include statements concerning, among other things, our business strategy, financial and operating results, gross margins, liquidity and capital expenditure requirements and impact of accounting standards. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words, such as "may," "might," "will," "could," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "intend" and "continue," the negative or plural of these words and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and our projections about future events. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon information available to us as

of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We have no obligation to update any of these statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements, including risks related to general market trends, the benefits of acquisitions and investments, uncertainties related to COVID-19 and the impact of our responses to it, the interpretation and impacts of changes in export controls and other trade barriers, our ability to execute our business strategy and other risks discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully consider the numerous risks and uncertainties described under these sections.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Unless expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and “FormFactor” refer to FormFactor, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

FormFactor, Inc., headquartered in Livermore, California, is a leading provider of test and measurement solutions. We provide a broad range of high-performance probe cards, analytical probes, probe stations, metrology systems, and thermal and cryogenic sub-systems to both semiconductor companies and scientific institutions. Our products provide electrical and optical information from a variety of semiconductor and electro-optical devices and integrated circuits from research, through development to production. Customers use our products and services to lower production costs, improve yields, and enable development of their complex next-generation products.

We operate in two reportable segments consisting of the Probe Cards segment and the Systems segment. Sales of our probe cards and analytical probes are included in the Probe Cards segment, while sales of our probe stations, metrology systems and thermal sub-systems are included in the Systems segment.

We generated net income of ~~$15.9~~$59.3 million in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to ~~$5.5~~$20.7 million in the first ~~three~~nine months of fiscal 2019. The increase in net income was primarily due to ~~higher~~increased revenues ~~partially offset by higher~~and leverage on operating expenses, ~~both generated by~~which only marginally increased on significantly higher operating levels.

Impact of COVID-19

An outbreak of an illness caused by a novel coronavirus in 2019 (“COVID-19”) has resulted in millions of infections and well over one hundred thousand deaths worldwide as of the date of filing this Quarterly Report.The COVID-19 pandemic continues to ~~spread~~cause serious illness and death in many of the regions that we, our customers and our suppliers operate. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant governmental ~~measures being implemented~~actions designed to control the spread of the virus, including the imposition of ~~stay-at-home~~safety requirements and other orders in locations where we have manufacturing and other activities. We ~~experienced a significant disruption~~have maintained social distancing, contact tracing, and various other measures to enable our ~~operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during the last two weeks of our first fiscal quarter of 2020 which continues, although currently~~manufacturing sites to ~~a lessening extent.~~continue efficient production.

We believe that we operate in a critical infrastructure industry, as defined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This reduces the current and anticipated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our major customers and suppliers, and upon our operations, as compared to companies that are not part of the critical infrastructure. After a temporary suspension of manufacturing to implement safety measures in our California and Oregon locations, consistent with federal guidelines and state and local orders, we recommenced manufacturing. We currently continue to operate in all of our manufacturing sites

at production levels comparable to those prior to the pandemic, albeit subject to certain safety and related constraints. Our other operations are similarly continuing with substantial work-from-home activities.

If the provisions of governmental health orders or other safety requirements ~~continue~~applicable to us or our customers or suppliers become more restrictive for an extended period of time, or if we have repeated occurrences of COVID-19 in any of our facilities, we may experience ~~further~~ disruptions or delays in manufacturing, product design, product development, customer support, manufacturing and sales, and an overall loss of productivity and efficiency. The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic could also negatively impact our business or results of operations through new restrictions at our operating locations or at those of our customers or suppliers.

Even with our continued operations, COVID-19 has had, and may have further, negative impacts on our supply chain, workforce and customers. The continued progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated macro-economic, trade-related, and site-specific restrictions, including but not limited to the effects of any overall global, regional or national economic slowdowns or other economic downturns, increased trade and transport costs, and inability to access customer sites for certain activities could also negatively impact our business or results of operations.

As the COVID-19 pandemic is a widespread public health crisis, it is ~~also~~ adversely affecting major economies and financial markets world-wide. A resulting economic downturn can be expected to eventually negatively affect the demand for our products, and contribute to volatile demand and supply conditions affecting the markets for our products.

Governments in several countries where we operate, including the United States, have enacted stabilization and stimulus measures in an effort to counteract some of the impacts of COVID-19. We have benefited and may continue to benefit from some of these measures directly or indirectly, although we do not believe those benefits have had or will have a material effect upon our financial results or financial condition. Governments may discontinue, amend, replace or otherwise change or supplement such stabilization and stimulus measures in ways that are difficult to predict, and it is possible that such changes could have a material effect upon our financial results or financial condition, or the financial results or financial condition of our customers or suppliers.

While to date the disruptions in our operations, supply chain and customer demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have been somewhat limited, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic represents a sustained threat that may ~~eventually~~ give rise to a variety of more significant adverse impacts on our business and financial results. We consider this as a near or longer term trend, although we cannot identify or quantify the specific impacts given current levels of uncertainty and the broad variety of effects that may arise from a pandemic of this magnitude. For a further description of the uncertainties and business risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

~~Critical~~Significant Accounting Policies and the Use of Estimates

The increase in Foundry & Logic product revenue for the three and nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to the three ~~months~~and nine ended ~~March 30,~~September 28, 2019, was driven principally by increased unit sales to large semiconductor foundries and integrated device manufacturers, ~~as they~~demonstrating success in diversifying across our strategic accounts. Additionally, sales have increased ~~manufacturing of new chip designs on leading-edge nodes.~~due to the demand for 5G handsets and devices and work from home infrastructure spending.

The decrease in DRAM product revenue for the three and nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 30,~~September 28, 2019, was driven by a decreased ~~unit sales~~customer demand as a result of ~~decreased customer demand.~~the absorption of large purchases in fiscal 2019.

The ~~decrease~~increase in Flash product revenue for the three months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to the three months ended ~~March 30,~~September 28, 2019, was driven by ~~decreased unit~~increased sales as a result of ~~decreased~~increased customer demand asfor our legacy products and the acquisition of Baldwin Park. This increase helped offset what would have otherwise been a decrease in demand in the nine months ended September 26, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2019. Our revenue in this market continues to be highly variable.

The increase in Systems product revenue for the three months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to the three months ended ~~March 30,~~September 28, 2019, was driven by increased sales of metrology systems due to the acquisition for FRT GmbH and increased sales of probe stations, ~~which includes an~~partially offset by lower revenue from thermal sub-systems. The increase in Systems product revenue ~~from 300mm stations,~~for the nine months ended September 26, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 28, 2019, was driven by our acquisition of FRT GmbH, partially offset by lower revenue from thermal sub-systems and 200mm stations.

Due to COVID-19, there were various impacts across our segments due to governmental mandates of social distancing. This resulted in a temporary factory ~~shut down~~shutdown for almost two weeks during our first fiscal quarter of 2020 in certain locations, limiting our manufacturing capacity. ~~These~~We believe these shutdowns negatively affected revenue and impacted our ability to maintain typical lead times, especially in our Probes segment.

¹ Asia-Pacific includes all countries in the region except China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, which are disclosed separately.

Geographic revenue information is based on the location to which we ship the product. For example, if a certain South Korean customer purchases through their U.S. subsidiary and requests the products to be shipped to an address in South Korea, this sale will be reflected in the revenue for South Korea rather than the U.S.

Changes in revenue by geographic region for the three and nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 30,~~September 28, 2019, ~~was~~were primarily attributable to changes in customer demand, shifts in customer regional manufacturing strategies, particularly with our large multinational customers, and product sales mix.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Margins

Cost of revenues consists primarily of manufacturing materials, compensation and benefits, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing-related overhead and amortization of certain intangible assets. Our manufacturing operations rely on a limited number of suppliers to provide key components and materials for our products, some of which are a sole source. We order materials and supplies based on backlog and forecasted customer orders. Tooling and setup costs related to changing manufacturing lots at our suppliers are also included in the cost of revenues. We expense all warranty costs, inventory provisions and amortization of certain intangible assets as cost of revenues.

Interest income is earned on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities. The ~~increase~~decrease in interest income for the three and nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 compared with the corresponding period of the prior year was attributable to ~~higher invested balances and sustained~~lower investment yields ~~related in part~~due to ~~longer duration investments.~~the low interest rate environment.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes reflects the tax provision on our operations in foreign and U.S. jurisdictions, offset by tax benefits from tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII") deduction. ~~We expect~~The effective tax rate for the ~~FDII deduction~~third quarter of 2020 was significantly impacted by two discrete items. First, on July 23, 2020, the U.S. Department of Treasury and ~~corresponding~~the Internal Revenue Service finalized regulations T.D. 9902 with respect to the global intangible low-taxes income high-tax exception, resulting in a decrease in our effective tax rate. This adjustment was retroactive to the fiscal years 2018 and 2019 and the cumulative impact is taken into account during the three months ended September 26, 2020. Second, we realized a significant discrete tax benefit from stock-based compensation due to ~~be available after utilizing our previous net operating loss carryforwards, resulting~~stock price increases over the most recent three year period. These items together resulted in a decrease in our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to the three and nine months ended ~~March 30,~~September 28, 2019.

Our effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes in estimated taxable income or loss by jurisdiction, changes to the valuation allowance, changes to U.S. federal, state or foreign tax laws, changes in ASC 718 stock-based compensation expense/benefit, future expansion into areas with varying country, state, and local income tax rates, and deductibility of certain costs and expenses by jurisdiction. We expect the FDII deduction and corresponding benefit to be available after utilizing our previous net operating loss carryforwards, resulting in a decrease from the U.S. statutory rate and included in our worldwide effective tax rate for the year ended December 26, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our working capital was ~~$308.8~~$319.9 million at ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to $282.5 million at December 28, 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of deposits held at banks and money market funds. Marketable securities primarily consist of U.S. treasuries ~~U.S. agency securities~~ and corporate bonds. We typically invest in highly-rated securities with low probabilities of default. Our investment policy requires investments to be rated single A or better, and limits the types of acceptable investments, issuer concentration and duration of the investment.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately ~~$239.4~~$241.5 million at ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, compared to $220.9 million at December 28, 2019. We believe that we will be able to satisfy our working capital requirements and scheduled term loan repayments for at least the next twelve months with the liquidity provided by our existing cash, cash

equivalents, marketable securities and cash provided by operations. To the extent necessary, we may consider entering into short and long-term debt obligations, raising cash through a stock issuance, or obtaining new financing facilities, which may not be available on terms favorable to us. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition. As a result of the current and uncertain future impact of COVID-19, we have taken actions to preserve and improve our liquidity primarily by limiting our exposures to volatile markets and investments, as well as actively working to minimize counterparty ~~risk.~~risk, for example, by directly investing in securities where the counterparty is the U.S. Government rather than a similar investment where the counterparty is a bank.

If we are unsuccessful in maintaining or growing our revenues, maintaining or reducing our cost structure (in response to a potential reduction in demand due to an industry downturn, COVID-19, or other event), or increasing our available cash through debt or equity financings, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities may ~~decline in fiscal 2020.~~decline.

We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to manage our worldwide cash and deploy funds to locations where needed. As part of these strategies, we indefinitely reinvest a portion of our foreign earnings. Should we require additional capital in the United States, we may elect to repatriate indefinitely-reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the United States.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 was primarily attributable to net income of ~~$15.9~~$59.3 million and ~~$22.7 million of~~ net non-cash expenses ~~offset~~of $61.8 million, further fluctuated by changes in operating assets and liabilities, as explained below.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 was primarily related to ~~$12.1~~$41.9 million of ~~cash used in the~~ acquisition of property, plant and equipment, which includes $24.0 million used in the acquisition of a building adjacent to our leased facilities in Livermore, California. Additionally, we paid $35.0 million of acquisition of Baldwin Park, net of cash acquired, partially offset by ~~$6.6~~$20.6 million of net proceeds from sales of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 primarily related to ~~$13.2~~$41.1 million of principal payments made towards the repayment of our term loans and ~~$0.4~~$15.4 million related to tax withholding associated with the net share settlements of our equity awards, partially offset by ~~$4.5~~$18.0 million of proceeds received from the new term loan for our building purchase, as well as $9.6 million of proceeds received from issuances of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan and stock option plans.

Debt

CMI Term Loan

On June 24, 2016, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with HSBC Bank USA, National Association ("HSBC"), as administrative agent, co-lead arranger, sole bookrunner and syndication agent, other lenders that may from time-to-time be a party to the Credit Agreement, and certain guarantors. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders have provided us with a senior secured term loan facility of $150 million (the “CMI Term Loan”). The proceeds of the CMI Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the purchase price paid in connection with the Cascade Microtech acquisition in fiscal 2016 and to pay related bank fees and expenses.

The CMI Term Loan ~~bears~~bore interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus 2.00% per annum or (ii) Base Rate ~~(as defined in the Credit Agreement)~~ plus 1.00% per annum. We ~~have currently~~ elected to pay interest at 2.00% over the one-month LIBOR rate. Interest payments ~~are~~were payable in monthly installments over a five-year period. ~~The interest rate at March 28, 2020 was 3.61%.~~

The principal payments on the CMI Term Loan ~~are~~were paid in equal quarterly installments that began June 30, 2016, in an annual amount equal to 5% of original principal for year one, 10% for year two, 20% for year three, 30% for year four and 35% for year five. The ~~planned~~ final payment on the CMI Term Loan ~~is scheduled for the third quarter of fiscal~~was June 30, 2020.

On July 25, 2016, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with HSBC and other lenders to hedge the interest payments on the CMI Term Loan for the notional amount of $95.6 million. As future levels of LIBOR over the life of the loan are uncertain, we entered into these interest-rate swap agreements to hedge the exposure in interest rate risks associated with movement in LIBOR rates. By entering into the agreements, we convert a floating rate interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2% into a fixed rate interest at 2.939%. The interest rate swap agreement ended as of March 28, 2020.

~~The obligations under the Term Loan are guaranteed by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions.~~

The Credit Agreement contains negative covenants customary for financing of this type, as well as certain financial maintenance covenants. As of March 28, 2020, the balance outstanding pursuant to the CMI Term Loan was $23.7 million and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

FRT Term Loan

On October 25, 2019, we entered into a $23.4 million three-year credit facility loan agreement (the "FRT Term Loan") ~~with HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt AG, Germany,~~, to fund the acquisition of FRT GmbH, which we acquired on October 9, 2019. ~~See Note 4 for further details of the acquisition.~~

The FRT Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") plus ~~1.75 %~~1.75% per annum and will be repaid in quarterly installments of approximately ~~$1.9~~$2.0 million plus interest. The interest ~~beginning January 25, 2020.~~

The obligations under the FRT Term Loan are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by FormFactor, Inc. The Credit Facility contains negative covenants customary for financing of this type, including covenants that place limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, the payment of dividends; dispositions; fundamental changes, including mergers and acquisitions; loans and investments; sale leasebacks; negative pledges; transactions with affiliates; changes in fiscal year; sanctions and anti-bribery laws and regulations, and modifications to charter documents in a manner materially adverse to the Lenders. The FRT Term Loan also contains affirmative covenants and representations and warranties customary for financing of this type.rate at September 26, 2020 was 1.30%. As of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, the balance outstanding pursuant to the FRT term loan was ~~$21.4~~$18.3 million.

Building Term Loan

On June 22, 2020, we entered into an $18.0 million 15-year credit facility loan agreement (the “Building Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Building Term Loan were used to finance the purchase a building adjacent to our leased facilities in Livermore, California.

The Building Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 1.75% per annum. Interest payments are payable in monthly installments over a fifteen-year period. The interest rate at September 26, 2020 was 1.91%. As of September 26, 2020, the balance outstanding pursuant to the Building Term Loan was $17.8 million.

On March 17, 2020, we entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement to hedge the interest payments on the Building Term Loan for the notional amount of $18.0 million, and an amortization period that matches the debt. As future levels of LIBOR over the life of the loan are uncertain, we ~~were~~entered into this interest-rate swap agreement to hedge the exposure in ~~compliance~~interest rate risks associated with ~~all covenants.~~movement in LIBOR rates. By entering into the agreement, we convert a floating rate interest at one-month LIBOR plus 1.75% into a fixed rate interest at 2.75%. The interest rate swap also includes a 0% floor that is effective for one year from the date of the swap. As of September 26, 2020, the notional amount of the loan that is subject to this interest rate swap is $17.8 million.

See Note 6, Debt, of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Stock Repurchase Program

In October 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $50.0 million of outstanding common stock to offset potential dilution from issuances of common stock under our stock-based compensation plans. The share repurchase program will expire on October 28, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Historically, we have not participated in transactions that have generated relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been

established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020, we were not involved in any such off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For financial market risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, reference is made to Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” contained in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 28, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal 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 defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) except as described below that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On July 30, 2020, we completed the acquisition of the probe card assets of Advantest Corporation ("Baldwin Park"), located in Baldwin Park, California and are integrating the acquired business into our overall internal control over financial reporting process. Our management is in the process of assessing the internal control over financial reporting and is implementing or revising internal controls where necessary.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any control systems must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

CEO and CFO Certifications

We have attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act. We recommend that this Item 4 be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the subject matter presented.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 28,~~September 26, 2020 to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 apart from the risk factor described below. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. The trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described

in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2019 are not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and is expected to continue to negatively impact, our operations, and those of our important suppliers, business partners and customers.

We are exposed to risks associated with public health crises and outbreaks of contagious diseases, such as ~~the current outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19").~~COVID-19. To date, COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our operations, our supply chains and our expenses, including as a result of precautionary measures that we take in response to COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, which has adversely affected, and will continue to adversely affect, our business operations and may materially and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced significant business disruptions, including temporary closures of our facilities, and the facilities of our suppliers and their supply chain partners, and restrictions on our ability to travel and service our products. For example, our corporate headquarters and many of our operations, including much of our manufacturing facilities, are located in California, ~~which has instituted~~where a variety of health orders ~~applicable~~apply to our operations and employees in the region. In other regions where we operate globally, similar health orders have been issued, which have had, and will continue to have, similar affects upon our business. This has the potential to significantly ~~impacted~~impact our ability to design, produce, deliver and support our products for customers. ~~These unprecedented measures~~

We obtain some of the components and materials used in our products from a sole source or a limited group of suppliers, and in some cases alternative sources are not readily available. The COVID-19 pandemic may heighten the risks posed by our

dependence upon sole or limited source suppliers to ~~slow~~ the ~~spread~~extent that the pandemic could disrupt the operations of ~~COVID-19 taken by local~~one or more of these suppliers, resulting in an inability to obtain an adequate supply of materials, late deliveries or poor component quality while we seek to identify and ~~regional governments have had,~~qualify alternative suppliers. Such disruptions could disrupt our operations and ~~will continue~~result an adverse impact to ~~have, a significant negative impact on~~ our ~~operations.~~results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

A significant amount of our management resources has been, and will continue to be, focused on mitigating the negative impacts of COVID-19 on our business. This has required, and will continue to require, a substantial investment of time and resources across our enterprise ~~that has delayed, or~~which may continue to ~~delay~~negatively impact other valuable activities, such as the development of new technologies, products or capabilities. In addition, many of our employees are working remotely for an extended period which can increase operational risk and cybersecurity risks. If we do not respond appropriately to the COVID-19 pandemic, or if employees, customers or others do not perceive our response positively, we could suffer damage to our reputation, which could also adversely affect our business.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts usour operations and those of our important, suppliers, business partners and customers will depend on numerous evolving factors and future developments that we are not able to predict, ~~including:~~including but not limited to: the severity ~~of the virus; the~~and duration of the ~~outbreak;~~pandemic; governmental, business and other actions (which could include further restrictions on our operations); the ongoing requirements of social distancing and ~~shelter-in-place~~health orders; the impacts on our supply chain; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity; the extent and duration of the effect on business confidence and investments by our customers; the effects of changes to our operations that may continue indefinitely; the ~~health of and the effect~~effects on our workforce and our ability to meet our staffing needs, particularly if members of our workforce are exposed or infected; any impairments in the value of our assets which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions; and the potential impacts upon our internal controls, including those over financial reporting, that may result from changes in working environments and other circumstances. If the pandemic continues to create disruptions in the credit and financial markets, it could also adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms to meet our business and strategic objectives. All of these circumstances are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. In addition, the circumstances which give rise to new or existing infectious diseases becoming epidemics or pandemics with potentially similar impacts are expected to persist.

~~We obtain some~~Adverse global, regional and national economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic could have a negative effect on our business, results of ~~the components~~operations and ~~materials used in our products from a sole source or a limited group of suppliers,~~financial condition and in some cases alternative sources are not readily available. Our dependence upon sole or limited source suppliers increases our exposure to the impacts of COVID-19 that might disrupt the operations of one or more of these suppliers, resulting in an inability to obtain an adequate supply of materials, late deliveries or poor component quality while we seek to identify and qualify alternative suppliers.liquidity

~~In addition, the~~The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, national, regional and global economies and financial ~~markets that can~~markets. Although the long-term macroeconomic effects of the pandemic cannot be predicted with certainty, the continued progression or persistence of the pandemic may result in ~~a period of~~global, regional or national economic ~~slowdown~~slowdowns or ~~recession that~~other economic downturns. Such downturns could curtail or delay spending by businesses and consumers which may ultimately result in reductions in the demand for our products and greater volatility in demand and supply conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic has also created significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption in global credit and financial markets. Such impacts, as well as any further disruptions to or reductions in the availability of credit or other sources of capital as the pandemic continues to progress or persist, could also adversely affect our ability to access capital on favorable terms to meet our objectives.Any of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition, governments in several countries where we operate, including the United States, have enacted stabilization and stimulus measures in an effort to counteract some of the impacts of COVID-19. The demand and business environments in which we operate have benefited from some of these measures. Any discontinuations, reductions, or other changes to such stabilization and stimulus programs may harm our customers’ or suppliers’ financial results and financial condition, and could also have an adverse macroeconomic impact that may lead to reductions in the demand for our products. Even if maintained or expanded, such stimulus and stabilization measures may fail over the long term to mitigate the adverse economic effects of the pandemic, and may fail to prevent or exacerbate any long-term economic downturns.

As a result of the uncertain scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertain timing of ~~the~~any national, regional ~~and~~or global recovery and economic normalization, we are unable to estimate the long-term impacts on our operations and financial results. As a result, we may decide to limit or refrain from providing financial guidance in the manner we have done ~~for recent~~in prior reporting ~~periods. All of these factors may~~periods, which could negatively affect our stock price.

Increasingly restrictive export regulations and other trade barriers may materially harm our business.

Sales of our products to customers outside of the United States represent a significant part of our past and anticipated revenues, including sales involving exports from the United States to China. ~~In 2019, sales in China represented 18% of our revenues, and China~~There is ~~an area of potential growth for our business. We have observed~~ a continuing trend of increasing tariffs and trade controls affecting exports to China. For example, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security, has

recently ~~published amendments to~~amended the U.S. Export Administration Regulations to expand license requirements on exports to entities in China that may support military end uses. These rules ~~are expected to, among other things,~~ expand export license requirements on a broader set of items from the U.S., including many of our ~~products.~~products and for a broader set of customers in China and elsewhere. There is no assurance that we will obtain any such licenses on a timely basis or at all. There also remains considerable uncertainty regarding the interpretation and implementation of these rules. In addition, the reaction to these rules by governments and private businesses outside the U.S., particularly in China, may be expected to include retaliatory controls and preferences for non-U.S. or local suppliers. These and other regulatory and policy changes in the U.S. and elsewhere could materially and negatively affect our future sales and operating results.

We rely on the security and integrity of our electronic data systems and our business can be damaged by disruptions, security breaches or other compromises of these systems.

We rely on electronic data systems to operate and manage our business and to process, maintain, and safeguard information, including information belonging to our customers, partners, and personnel. These systems may be subject to failures or disruptions as a result of, among other things, natural disasters, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, new system implementations, acts of terrorism or war, physical security breaches, computer viruses or other cyber security attacks. For example, in June 2020, we discovered a data breach incident involving malware and related behaviors that resulted in unauthorized access to our information technology systems. Although we do not believe this incident had any significant impacts on our production and ordinary course operations, such incidents or other system failures or disruptions could subject us to downtime and delays, compromise or loss of sensitive or proprietary information, destruction or corruption of data, financial losses from remedial actions, breaches of obligations to third parties under privacy laws or contracts, or damage to our reputation or customer relationships. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
