2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are associated with recording accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets other than goodwill, long-lived assets, derivative financial instruments, deferred income taxes, warranty obligations, revenue recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method, and stock-based compensation expense. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions, including in certain circumstances future projections that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they occur and become known.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, - including results of operations and financial condition, sales, expenses, reserves and allowances, manufacturing and employee-related amounts, - will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain. This includes results from new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and any actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. The Company has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within its financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.
Foreign Currency Translation
Certain transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are denominated in currencies other than their functional currency.
Foreign currency exchange gains and losses generated from the settlement and remeasurement of these transactions are recognized in earnings and presented within “Other expenses,income (expenses), net” in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net foreign currency transaction and remeasurement losses were $1.6 million and less than $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net foreign currency transaction and 2019remeasurement losses were $1.2 million and $2.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019.respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Most of these transactions or balances are denominated in Euros, British Pounds and a variety of Asian currencies. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations. The arrangements typically mature in three months or less and they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Net gains and losses related to these contracts are

The fair values of the forward contracts are recorded in the Company’s accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities”. Foreign exchange contract assets and liabilities are measured and reported at fair value based on observable market inputs and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described below due to a lack of an active market for these contracts.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities, including cash equivalents and available for sale securities.securities, at fair value. FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 Inputs: Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, including 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 Inputs: Unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities and reflect an entity’s own assumptions in pricing assets or liabilities since they are supported by little or no market activity.
As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had 0 assets or liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Expected Credit Losses and Sales Returns
Trade accounts receivable do not bear interest and are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses representing its best estimate of expected credit losses related to its existing accounts receivable and their net realizable value. The Company determines the allowance based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of customer credit worthiness, the age of the outstanding receivables, economic trends, historical experience and other information over the payment periods. The Company reviews and adjusts the allowance for expected credit losses on a quarterly basis. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance for expected credit losses when the Company determines that the balances are not recoverable. Provisions for expected credit losses are recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determines the allowance for sales returns based on its best estimate of expected customer returns. Provisions for sales returns are recorded in "Revenue" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Leases
The Company has operating leases for real estate and non-real estate and finance leases for non-real estate. The classification of a lease as operating or finance and the determination of the right-of-use asset (ROU asset)(“ROU asset”) and lease liability are determined at lease inception. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
10
Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, an incremental borrowing rate is used based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company’s lease agreements may contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. Fixed payments for non-lease components are combined with lease payments and accounted for as a single lease component which increases the amount of the ROU asset and liability.
The ROU asset for operating leases is included within Other assets“Other assets” and the ROU asset for finance leases is included within Property,“Property, plant, and equipment, net onnet” in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The short-term lease liabilities for both

operating leases and finance leases are included within Accrued“Accrued expenses and other current liabilities.liabilities” in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Edwards has asserted claims for indemnification under the definitive agreement relating to alleged breaches of representations and warranties relating to customer warranty claims and inventory.The Company cannot determine the probability of any losses or outcome of these claims including the amount of any indemnifiable losses, if any, resulting from these claims at this time, however, thetime. The Company believes, however, that none of these claims will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. If the resolution of these claims results in indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable indemnification deductibles and indemnification escrow established under the definitive agreement, Edwards would be required to seek recovery under the representation and warranty insurance Edwards obtained in connection with the closing of the transaction. The Company believes that any indemnifiable losses in excess of the applicable deductibles and indemnification escrow established in the definitive agreement would be covered by such insurance. If Edwards is unable to obtain recovery under its insurance, however, it could seek recovery of such indemnifiable losses, if any, directly from the Company.
The semiconductor cryogenics business consistsconsisted of the CTI pump business, Polycold chiller business, the related services business and the Company'sa 50% share in Ulvac Cryogenics, Inc., a joint venture based in Japan. The semiconductor cryogenics business was originally acquired by the Company in its 2005 merger with Helix Technology Corporation. The operating results of the semiconductor cryogenics business had been included in the Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment before the plan of disposition.
In connection with the closing of the Disposition on July 1, 2019, the Company and Edwards entered into a transition service agreement, a supply agreement, and lease agreements. The transition service agreement outlined the information technology, people, and facility support the Company would provideparties provided to Edwardseach other for athe period up toending 9 months after the transaction closing date. The supply agreement allowed the Company to purchase CTI and Polycold goods at cost from Edwards up to an aggregate amount equal to $1.0 million duringuntil the one-year term afteranniversary of closing of the Disposition. The lease agreements provide facility space in Chelmsford, Massachusetts to Edwards free of charge for three years after the transaction closing date. Edwards will havehas the option to renew each lease at the then current market rates after the initial three-year lease term has ended. This Disposition iswas consistent with the Company’s long-standing strategy to increase shareholder value by accelerating the growth of its Life Sciences businessbusinesses with further acquisitions and strengthening its semiconductor automation business with opportunistic acquisitions.
The Disposition met the "held for sale" criteria and the “discontinued operation” criteria in accordance with FASB ASC 205 as of September 30, 2018. As such, its operating results have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

4. Marketable Securities
The Company invests in marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale and records them at fair value in the Company’saccompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Marketable securities reported as current assets represent investments that mature within one year from the balance sheet date. Long-term marketable securities represent investments with maturity dates greater than one year from the balance sheet date. The securities are valued using matrix pricing and benchmarking and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are not actively traded. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique used to value securities by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Expected maturities could differ from contractual maturities because the security issuers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.
The Company reviews the marketable securities for impairment at each reporting period to determine if any of the securities have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. The Company considers factors, such as the length of time and extent to which the market value has been less than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Company believes that an other-than-temporary decline in fair value has occurred, it writes down the investment to its fair value and recognizes the credit loss in earnings and the non-credit loss in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. There was an insignificant amount of securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2021. There were 0 securities in an unrealized loss position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of net book value over the estimated fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a reporting unit. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more often if impairment indicators are present at the reporting unit level. If events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair values of the reporting units below their carrying values, goodwill will be evaluated for impairment between annual tests. No triggering events indicating goodwill impairment occurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.2021. Please refer to Note 7,8, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the
19
2019 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the goodwill impairment testing performed during fiscal year 2019.2020.
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment on April 1st of each year. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company initially assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines, based on this assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, it performs a quantitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the reporting unit’s fair value with its carrying value. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, up to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. No impairment loss is recognized if the fair value of the reporting exceeds its carrying value.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company completed the annual goodwill impairment test for each of its 6 reporting units, including the Automation Solutions, Contamination Control Solutions and Global Semiconductor Services reporting units within the Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment, as well as Sample Repository Solutions,the Brooks Life Sciences Products and GENEWIZreporting unit within the Brooks Life Sciences Products segment, and the Sample Repository Solutions and GENEWIZ reporting units within the Brooks Life Sciences Services segment. Based on the test results, the Company determined that 0 adjustment to goodwill was necessary. The Company conducted a qualitative assessment for the 3Automation Solutions, Global Semiconductor Services and Life Sciences Products reporting units within the Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment andunits. The Company determined that it was more likely than not that their fair values were greater than their carrying values. As a result of the analysis, the Company did not perform the quantitative assessment for these reporting units, and therefore, did not recognize any impairment losses. The Company performed the quantitative goodwill impairment test for the 3Contamination Control Solutions, the Sample Repository Solutions and GENEWIZ reporting units within the Brooks Life Sciences segment andunits. The Company determined that 0 adjustment to goodwill was necessary since the estimated fair values exceed their book values.

For awards that vest subject to performance conditions, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense ratably over the performance period if it is probable that performance condition will be met and adjusted for the probability percentage of achieving the performance goals. The Company makes estimates of stock award forfeitures and the number of awards expected to vest.

Each quarter, the Company assesses the probability of achieving the performance goals. Current estimates may differ from actual results and future changes in estimates.
The Company grants restricted stock units that vest over a required service period and/or achievement of certain operating performance goals. Restricted stock units granted with performance goals may also have a required service period following the achievement of all or a portion of the performance goals.

Time-Based Grants
Restricted stock units granted with a required service period typically have three-year vesting schedules in which one-third of awards vest at the first anniversary of the grant date, one-third vest at the second anniversary of the grant date and one-third vest at the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the award holders meeting service requirements.
Stock Grants
The stock awards granted to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors include stock awards restricted stock awards and deferred stock and restricted stock units.

Restricted stockStock awards granted in fiscal years 20192021 and 2020 were vested as of the respective grant dates.
28
Performance-Based Grants
Performance-based restricted stock units are earned based on the achievement of performance criteria established by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The criteria for performance-based awards are weighted and have threshold, target and maximum performance goals.
Performance-based awards granted in fiscal year 2021, 2020 2019 and 20182019 allow participants to earn 100% of the restricted stock units if the Company’s performance meets its target goal for each applicable financial metric, and up to a
25
maximum of 200% if the Company’s performance for such metrics meets or exceeds the maximum or stretch goal. Performance below the minimum threshold for each financial metric results in award forfeiture. Performance goals will be measured over a three-year period for each year’s awards and at the end of the period to determine the number of units earned by recipients who continue to meet the service requirement. Around the third anniversary of each yearyear’s awards’ grant date, the Company’s Board of Directors determines the number of units earned for participants who continue to meet the service requirements on the vest date.

Contract Balances
Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable represent rights to consideration in exchange for products or services that have been transferred by the Company, when payment is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment is due. Accounts receivable do not bear interest and are recorded at the invoiced amount. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses representing its best estimate of probable credit losses related to its existing accounts receivable and their net realizable value. The Company determines the allowance for expected credit losses based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of customer credit worthiness, the age of the outstanding receivables, economic trends, historical experience and other information through the payment periods. Accounts receivable, net were $234.1 million and $188.3 million at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Contract Assets. Contract assets represent rights to consideration in exchange for products or services that have been transferred by the Company, when payment is conditional on something other than the passage of time. These amounts typically relate to contracts within the life sciences segments where the right to payment is not present until completion of the contract or the achievement of specified milestones and the value of the products or services transferred exceed this constraint. Contract assets are classified as current. Contract asset balances which are included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, were $16.1 million and $16.8 million at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Deferred Commissions. Deferred commissions represent a direct and incremental cost of obtaining a contract. These amounts primarily relate to sales commissions within the life sciences segments and are deferred and amortized over a 60-month period, which represents the average period of contract performance. The Company classifies deferred commissions as noncurrent as the original amortization period of this asset is greater than one year. Deferred commissions balances are included within “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred commissions were $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. The Company recorded amortization expense related to deferred commissions of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded amortization expense related to deferred commissions of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Contract Liabilities. Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to transfer products or services to a customer for which consideration has been received, or for which an amount of consideration is due from the customer. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis at the contract level, depending on the contracts position at the end of each reporting period. Contract liabilities are included within “Deferred revenue” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Contract liabilities were $35.4 million and $31.4 million at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Revenue recognized from the contract liability balance at September 30, 2020 was $30.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.
28
Remaining Performance Obligations. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations within contracts with an original expected contract term that is greater than one year and for which fulfillment of the contract has started as of the end of the reporting period. The aggregate amount of transaction consideration allocated to remaining performance obligations as of June 30, 2021 was $65.2 million. The following table summarizes when the Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue; the Company will recognize revenue associated with these performance obligations as transfer of control occurs (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | As of June 30, 2021 | |||||||
| | | | | Less than 1 Year | | Greater than 1 Year | | Total | |||
Remaining Performance Obligations | | | | | $ | 46,552 | | $ | 18,677 | | $ | 65,229 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cost to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract
The Company capitalizes sales commissions when incurred if they are (i) incremental costs of obtaining a contract, (ii) expected to be recovered and (iii) have an expected amortization period that is greater than one year. As part of the Company’s cumulative effect adjustment, incremental costs associated with obtaining a contract were capitalized and have been classified as deferred commissions within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. These amounts primarily relate to sales commissions within the Brooks life sciences segments and are being amortized over a 60-month period, which represents the average period of contract performance. The Company did not capitalize any sales commissions during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 as the amount of sales commissions that qualified for capitalization during the reporting period was insignificant. Sales commissions incurred during the reporting period have been expensed as incurred. These costs are recorded within “Selling, general and administrative” expenses on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has concluded that none of its costs incurred in fulfillment of customer contracts meet the capitalization criteria. The Company will account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities and recognize the associated expense when control of the product has transferred to the customer.

These costs are recorded within “Selling, general, and administration expenses”. The Company has concluded that none of its costs incurred in fulfillment of customer contracts meet the capitalization criteria. The Company will account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities and recognize the associated expense when transfer of control of the product has transferred to the customer.
15. Segment Information
The Company operates in 2 reportable segments: the Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment and the Brooks Life Sciences segment. Brooks Life Sciences consists of 2 operating segments aggregated into one reportable segment.
The Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment provides a variety of products, services and solutions that enable improved throughput and yield in controlled operating environments, as well as an extensive range of support services. The solutions include atmospheric and vacuum robots, robotic modules, tool automation systems, contamination control of wafer carrier front opening unified pods and reticle storage. The support services include repair services, diagnostic support services, and installation services in support of the products, which enable customers to maximize process tool uptime and productivity. This segment also provides end-user customers with spare parts and productivity enhancement upgrades to maximize tool productivity.
The Brooks Life Sciences segment provides comprehensive life cycle sample management solutions for life science and bioscience customers including complete end-to-end “cold chain of custody” solutions and sample-based laboratory services such as genomic sequencing and gene synthesis to advance scientific research and support drug development. The segment’s product offerings include automated cold sample management systems for compound and biological sample storage, equipment for sample preparation and handling, consumables, and informatics that help customers manage samples throughout their research discovery and development workflows. The segment’s service offerings include sample storage, genomic sequencing, gene synthesis, laboratory processing services, laboratory analysis, and other support services which are provided to a wide range of life science customers, including pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, biorepositories and research institutes.
The Company considers adjusted operating income, which excludes charges related to amortization of completed technology, the acquisition accounting impact on inventory contracts acquired and restructuring related charges as the primary performance metric when evaluating the business. Please refer to Note 21, "Segment and Geographic Information" to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on the operating segments’ description and accounting policies.
In conjunction with the acquisition of GENEWIZ during the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company reassessed its segment reporting structure and determined that GENEWIZ represents a separate operating segment based on ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”). As permitted by ASC 280, the Company elected to aggregate the Sample Management operating segment and the GENEWIZ operating segment as a single reportable segment titled Brooks Life Sciences. The aggregation was based on similarities in long-term forecasted economic characteristics, particularly adjusted operating income, similarity in services they offer, the customers they serve, the nature of their service delivery models, and their regulatory environments. The Company believes that the aggregated presentation is more useful to investors and other financial users. Management formally assesses the long-term financial outlook of its operating segments on an annual basis as part of its strategic planning process and more frequently on an informal basis. The customer bases of the operating segments overlap, serving life science and bioscience customers in the pharmaceutical and bio-technology companies as well as academic and government institutions. Both of these operating segments provide services relating to the biological samples needed to advance non-clinical and clinical research, serving scientific and business operations functions. In a typical customer workflow, a biological sample is collected, processed and analyzed with results interpreted and used to make scientific judgements. Critical or valuable samples are then annotated and stored for many years in environments where they can be easily retrieved for additional study. These operating segments provide services across this workflow. Both of these operating segments offer services meeting the standards of Good Manufacturing Practices set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

GENEWIZ Tariff Matter
As part of the Company’s continued integration of GENEWIZ, which was acquired in November 2018, the Company initiated a review, with the assistance of a third party consultant, of the transaction value that the Company has used to calculate tariffs on inter-company imports of samples shipped from its GENEWIZ business. As a result of the
3431
third-party review and in light of a new interpretation surrounding the valuation method used to calculate the estimated transaction value, the Company revised its estimate of the tariffs owed and as a result recorded a liability of $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Of the total liability, $2.8 million is for the period prior to the acquisition of GENEWIZ and an additional $3.3 million is for the period since the Company acquired GENEWIZ in November 2018. The Company intends to pay any tariffs determined to be owed. The Company does not expect to incur any significant penalties associated with such tariffs. As a result of the change in estimate, basic net income per share decreased $0.07 for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Diluted net income per share also decreased $0.07 for the same period.
17. Commitments and Contingencies
Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had approximately $1.2$1.3 million of letters of credit outstanding related primarily to customer advances and other performance obligations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and
36
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue, intangible assets, goodwill, inventories, income taxes, and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate current and anticipated worldwide economic conditions, both in general and specifically in relation to the semiconductor and life science industries, that serve as a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily determinable based on information from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions that could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Indirect expenses which supported the semiconductor cryogenics business, and which will remain as part of theour continuing operations, are not reflected in incomenet loss from discontinued operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
A considerable portionOur semiconductor solutions business represents slightly more than half of our revenue and is dependent on the demand for semiconductor capital equipment which historically has experienced periodic downturns. We believe that we have adequate resources to satisfy our working capital, financing activities, debt service and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. The cyclical nature of our served markets and uncertainty in the current global economic environment, including the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, make it difficult for us to predict longer-term liquidity requirements with sufficient certainty. We may be unable to obtain any required additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on acceptable terms or otherwise, we may be unable to successfully develop or enhance products and services, respond to competitive pressure or take advantage of acquisition opportunities, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
The discussion of our cash flows and liquidity that follows does not include the impact of the disposition of the semiconductor cryogenics business and is stated on a total company consolidated basis.

Term Loans
On October 4, 2017, we entered into a $200.0 million term loan with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC pursuant to the terms of a credit agreement with the lenders. The term loan was issued at $197.6 million, or 98.8% of its par value, resulting in a discount of $2.4 million, or 1.2%, which represented loan origination fees paid at the closing. The loan principal amount may be increased by an aggregate amount equal to $75.0 million plus any voluntary repayments of the term loan plus any additional amount such that our secured leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00.
The term loan matures and becomes fully payable on October 4, 2024. Installment principal payments equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the term loan are payable on the last day of each quarter, with any remaining principal amount becoming due and payable on the maturity date. Subject to certain conditions stated in the credit agreement, we may redeem the term loan at any time at our option without a significant premium or penalty, except for a repricing transaction, as defined in the credit agreement. We are required to redeem the term loan at the principal amount then outstanding upon the occurrence of certain events, as set forth in the credit agreement.
On November 15, 2018, we entered into an incremental amendment to the credit agreement under which we obtained an incremental term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, issued at $340.5 million. The proceeds of the incremental term loan were used to pay a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of GENEWIZ. On February 15, 2019, we entered into the second amendment to the credit agreement and syndicated the incremental term loan to a group of new lenders. The syndicated incremental term loan was issued at $345.2 million. Except as provided for in the amendments, the incremental term loan was subject to the same terms and conditions of the initial term loan.

As of June 30, 2020,2021, we had approximately $39.6$49.8 million available for borrowing under the line of credit. There were no amounts outstanding pursuant to the line of credit as of June 30, 2020.2021. The amount of funds available for borrowing under the credit agreement may fluctuate each period based on our borrowing base availability. The credit agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, a financial covenant, affirmative and negative covenants, as well as events of default. We were in compliance with the credit agreement as of June 30, 2020.2021. Although we believe we will be able to generate sufficient cash in the United States and foreign jurisdictions to fund future operating costs, we secured the revolving line of credit as an additional assurance for maintaining liquidity in the United States during potentially severe downturns of the cyclical semiconductor market, and for strategic investments or acquisitions.

At June 30, 2020,2021, we had approximately $1.2$1.3 million of letters of credit outstanding related primarily to customer advances and other performance obligations. These arrangements guarantee the refund of advance payments received from our customers in the event that the product is not delivered, or warranty obligations are not fulfilled in accordance with the contract terms. These obligations could be called by the beneficiaries at any time before the expiration date of the particular letter of credit if we fail to meet certain contractual requirements. None of these obligations were called during the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, and we currently do not anticipate any of these obligations to be called in the near future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2020,2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of SEC Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates affecting interest payments on our term loan and investment return on our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities.short-term and long-term investments.

Interest Rate Exposure
Our term loans bearloan has a variable interest ratesrate which subjectsubjects us to interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate risk exposure results from changes in the short-term LIBOR rate, the federal funds effective rate and the prime rate. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the weighted average stated interest rate on theall of our then outstanding term loans was 4.3%2.8%. At June 30, 2020,2021, the outstanding term loans principal balance on our remaining term loan was $50.4$49.7 million, net of unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.4$0.3 million. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we incurred cash interest expense of $1.7$1.1 million on theall of our then outstanding term loans. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in a $0.4 million change in interest expense incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.2021.
Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist principally of money market securities that are short-term in nature. At June 30, 2020,2021, our total short-term and long-term investments were $3.1$3.7 million, consisting mostly of highly rated corporate debt securities and other debt securities. At June 30, 2020,2021, we had noan insignificant amount of securities in an unrealized loss position. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an insignificant increase in interest income earned during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.2021.
Currency Rate Exposure
We have transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Most of these transactions or balances are denominated in Euros, British Pounds and a variety of Asian currencies. Sales in currencies other than the U.S. dollar were approximately 39%38% and 35%39% of our total sales, respectively, during the nine months ended June 30,
49
2020 2021 and 2019.2020. These sales were made primarily by our foreign subsidiaries, which have cost structures that substantially align with the currency of sale.
In the normal course of our business, we have liquid assets denominated in non-functional currencies which include cash, short-term advances between our legal entities and accounts receivable which are subject to foreign currency exposure. Such balances were approximately $137.6$103.2 million and $117.7$142.9 million, respectively, at June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, and related to the Euro, British Pound and a variety of Asian currencies. We mitigate the impact of potential currency translation losses on these short-term intercompany advances by the timely settlement of each transaction, generally within 30 days. We also utilize forward contracts to mitigate our exposures to currency movement. We incurred foreign currency losses of $2.8$1.2 million and $1.1$2.8 million respectively, during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019,respectively, which related to the currency fluctuation on these balances between the time the transaction occurred and the ultimate settlement of the transaction. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign exchange rates at June 30, 20202021 and 20192020 would result in an approximate change of $2.8 million and less than $0.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in our net income during the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by useffective.
Change in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that because of the material weakness identifiedInternal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below,that occurred during our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020 the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We previously disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following control deficiencies, that constitute material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
Remediation of Prior Material Weakness
To address the material weakness related to the business unit within our Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment noted above, during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, we designed and implemented a new control to verify that product shipments from contract manufacturers are reviewed for proper revenue recognition at the point of transfer of control. We also initiated employee training with respect to these procedures. Based upon the actions taken, as well as the testing and evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of the new control, we concluded that the material weakness relating to the occurrence and cutoff of revenue on products shipped from contract manufacturers was remediated as of March 31, 2020.
51
Remediation Efforts and Status of Remaining Material Weakness
We are committed and are taking steps necessary to remediate the control deficiencies that constituted the material weakness described above related to the Brooks Life Sciences segment by implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting. Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) leveraging the implementation a new billing system and enterprise resource planning system (ERP) which will reduce the complexity of the billing process, (ii) improving the oversight of the accuracy of invoice processing and (iii) improving process documentation and training related to the billing and oversight process.
We implemented a new billing system and enterprise resource planning system (ERP) during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, for the business unit within our Brooks Life Sciences segment noted above. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we designed and implemented new and enhanced controls to verify the accuracy of price and quantity data for customer transactions and enhancing our documentation related to the business unit’s billing procedures and controls, which will support the business unit’s ability to train employees and execute the controls effectively.
We believe the measures described above will facilitate the remediation of the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies, or we may modify, or, in appropriate circumstances, not complete, certain of the remediation measures described above. This material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for the remediation efforts discussed above under “Remediation Efforts and Status of Remaining Material Weakness”, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our financial conditionplans to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline or at all and resultsmay not achieve the intended benefits.
On May 10, 2021, we announced our intention to separate our business into two independent, publicly traded companies. We plan to spin off our semiconductor business, which operates as our Semiconductor Solutions Group segment, through a pro rata distribution of operations couldshares to our common stockholders. The proposed separation is subject to various conditions, is complex in nature, and may be adversely affected by unanticipated developments, credit and equity markets, or changes in market conditions. As independent, publicly traded companies, each of the recent coronavirus pandemic or other outbreak of a contagious disease.
Any outbreak of a contagious disease, or other adverse public health developments, could have a materialresulting companies will be smaller and adverse effect onless diversified than our business, operations. In December 2019,with a novel strain of coronavirus, causing a disease referred to as COVID-19, was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, resulting in shutdowns of manufacturingnarrower business focus, and commerce in the months that have followed. Since then, COVID-19 has spread worldwide, including in the United States, and has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the disease, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including curtailing employee travel, mandatory work-from-home policies and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the disease, and our ability to perform critical functions could be harmed.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures designed to contain its spread, our suppliers may not have the materials, capacity, or capability to supply our components according to our schedule and specifications. Further, there may be logistics issues, including our ability and our supply chain’s ability to maintain production and transportation demands that may cause further delays. If our suppliers’ operations are curtailed, we may need to seek alternate sources of supply, whichthey may be more expensive. Alternate sourcesvulnerable to changing market conditions.
We may not be availableable to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits that we anticipate to result from the separation, or such benefits may resultbe delayed or not occur at all. We may experience negative reactions from financial markets if we do not complete the separation in delays in shipmentsa reasonable time period, or at all.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemiccost and resources required to effectuate the measures designed to stop the spread of the virusseparation may have similar effects on our customers. The current pandemic may also give rise to force majeure contractual protections being asserted by customers and/or suppliers thatbe significantly higher than what we maintain contracts with, potentially relieving contractual obligations these parties have to us.

significant disruption of global financial markets and an economic downturn that may affect demand for our products and services, reduce our ability to access capital or our customers’ ability to pay us for past or future purchases, impact our operating results, and have a negative impact on our liquidity and stock price. In addition, an extended recession or an additional financial market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could decrease overall technology manufacturing spending, adversely affecting demand for our products and services, in particular in the Brooks Semiconductor Solutions Group segment, our business and the value of our common stock. The global pandemic of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, and we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely. Although the magnitude of the impact of the pandemic on our business and operations remains uncertain, the continued spread of COVID-19 or the occurrence of other outbreaks of contagious diseases could adversely impact our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
