Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(dollarsdollar figures in tables in thousands, except share and per share amounts and percentages)amounts)

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Selected Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. All financialdollar figures presented in tables in the notes to consolidated financial statements are in thousands, except share, per share amounts. Certain information and percentage figures.footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC's rules and regulations for interim reporting. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Year End

We use a 5252- or 53 week53-week fiscal year ending on the last Friday in December. The three months ended September 29, 2017April 1, 2022 and September 23, 2016March 26, 2021 were both 13 weeks. The nine months ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016 were both 39 weeks. References to the thirdfirst quarter of 20172022 and 2016 relate2021 refer to the three monthsthree-month periods then ended September 29, 2017. References to fiscal year 2022 and September 23, 2016,2021 refer to our fiscal years ending December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Fiscal year 2022 and 2021 are 52 and 53 weeks, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. The Company bases itsWe base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believeswe believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management. Significant estimates include the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in acquisitions, estimated useful lives for long‑lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, uncertain tax positions, fair value assigned to stock options granted, and impairment analysis for both definite‑lived intangible assets and goodwill.

CorrectionCash and Cash Equivalents

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when control of promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an Immaterial Error

Duringamount that reflects the second quarter of 2017,consideration we corrected an error relatedexpect to translating the inventory balances at our Malaysia and Singapore subsidiaries at an incorrect foreign currency rate. The error arosebe entitled to in prior period financial statements beginning in periods prior to 2014 and through 2016. The correction resulted in a $1,752 increase in cost ofexchange for those goods or services. This amount is recorded as net sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit in our consolidated statements of operationsoperations.

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


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

Contract balances – Accounts receivable represents our unconditional right to receive consideration from our customers. Accounts receivable are carried at invoice price less an estimate for doubtful accounts and estimated payment discounts. Payment terms vary by customer but are generally due within 15‑60 days. Historically, we have not incurred significant payment issues with our customers. We had no significant contract assets or liabilities on our consolidated balances sheet duringbalance sheets in any of the second quarter of 2017. We evaluated the error on both a quantitative and qualitative basis and determined that the error was not material and did not affect the trend of net income or cash flows in previously issued financial statements. Additionally, we determined that correcting the error in the second quarter of 2017 is not expected to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2017.periods presented.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently IssuedAdopted

In May 2014,October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2021‑08, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014‑09, Revenuefor Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“805). This ASU 2014‑09”), which requires an entityacquirer in a business combination to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014‑09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arisingand measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts with customers and supersedes most currentusing the revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015,guidance in Topic 606. At the FASB issuedacquisition date, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the acquired contracts. The ASU No. 2015‑14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015‑14”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014‑09 for one year and permits early adoption in accordance with the original effective date of ASU 2014‑09. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 28, 2018. During the third quarter of 2017 the Company made progress toward completing the evaluation of potential changes from adopting the new standard on its financial statements and disclosures. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the standard on its revenue streams and significant contracts. At this point in time the Company does not anticipate a material impact from the adoption of this standard.  However, the final determination is not known at this time, as it is dependent on the number, size, and complexity of contracts not fully evaluated at this time.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016‑02”), which establishes a comprehensive lease standard for all industries. The standard requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases, other than leases that meet the definition of short term leases. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending December 27, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) (“ASU 2017‑04”), which eliminates the requirement to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017‑04, goodwill impairment testing will be performed by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge, if any, for the amount a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The standard is effective for goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company doesprospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If early adopted, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurred during the fiscal year of adoption. This ASU is currently not expect this standardexpected to have a significantmaterial impact on itsour consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 –Acquisitions

Cal-Weld, Inc.

On July 27, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Cal‑Weld, Inc. (“Cal‑Weld”), a California-based leader in the design and fabrication of precision, high purity industrial components, subsystems, and systems, for $56,879. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Company placed $6,000 in escrow for indemnification and working capital claims. As of September 29, 2017, the Company has submitted a working capital claim to the seller of $959 which was agreed to and settled subsequent to quarter-end. The Company does not anticipate any further adjustments and expects the remaining amount in escrow to be ultimately transferred to the seller. Accordingly, the remaining amount in escrow is included in the total acquisition consideration. Cal‑Weld will expand the Company’s capacity and capabilities in the area of component manufacturing for Gas Delivery tools used in semiconductor manufacturing.

The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation as of July 27, 2017:

The Company allocated $11,480 to customer relationships and $660 to order backlog with weighted average amortization periods of 10 years and 6 months, respectively. Goodwill recognized from the acquisition of Cal‑Weld was primarily attributed to an assembled workforce and expected synergies and is not tax deductible. The allocation of acquisition consideration for Cal‑Weld is preliminary as we have not obtained all of the information to finalize the opening balance sheet or the allocation between goodwill and intangible assets. Management has recorded allocations based on information currently available. The Company incurred transaction costs of $1,498 and $1,712 in connection with the acquisition of Cal‑Weld during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2017, respectively.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of 2017 include approximately two months of Cal‑Weld operating activity. Included in the Company’s statements of operations for the third quarter of 2017 are net sales and net income from continuing operations of $23,389 and $1,391, respectively, attributable to Cal‑Weld.


The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations assume the acquisition was completed on December 26, 2015, the beginning of the earliest period presented. Pro forma adjustments are mainly comprised of amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, compensation-related costs attributed to non-retained previous ownership, acquisition-related costs, incremental interest expense from increased borrowings to fund the acquisition, acquired inventory fair value charges, and the related income tax effects. The inventory fair value adjustment resulted in a $3,594 charge to cost of sales for the nine months ended September 23, 2016.

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

The Company leases officesWe lease facilities under various non-cancellable operating leases expiring through 2024. The Company is2031. In addition to base rental payments, we are generally responsible for utilities and itsour proportionate share of operating expenses, underincluding facility maintenance, insurance, and property taxes.

Note 12 – Segment Information

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the Company’s results of operations on a consolidated level and executive staff is structured by function rather than by product category. Therefore, the Company operates in one operating segment. Key resources, decisions, and assessment of performance are also analyzed on a company‑wide level.

The Company’s foreign operations are conducted primarily through its wholly owned subsidiaries in Singapore and Malaysia. The Company’s principal markets include North America, Asia and, to a lesser degree, Europe. Sales by geographic area represent sales to unaffiliated customers.

All information on sales by geographic area is based upon the location to which the products were shipped. The following table sets forth sales by geographic area (including sales from discontinued operations):the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation:

Note 14 – Discontinued Operations

In January 2016, we made the decision to shut down our Kingston, New York facility as this location consumed a significant amount of resources while contributing very little income. We completed the shutdown of the operations of the New York facility in May 2016 through abandonment as a buyer for the facility and operation was not found. The Company continues to incur expenses related to the lease for this facility, which expires February 2018.

In the second quarter of 2017 we accrued for remaining costs to occupy the facility until the lease expires in February 2018. Our initial restructuring accrual recorded in the second quarter of 2016 assumed the ability to sublease the facility, which to‑date we have not been able to do. We do not anticipate any sublease of the facility at this time.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. The Company's consolidated financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are issued. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through November 13, 2017, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

On October 23, 2017 the Company entered into a 5 year commercial building lease agreement for the lease of approximately 64,000 square feet in Tualatin, Oregon near its existing facility. Base rent begins at $30 per month, with the first three months waived. The total rent obligation payable over the 5 year lease period is $1,862.

On November 3, 2017 Ichor Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the acquisition of Talon Holdings, LLC, the parent company of Talon Innovations Corporation (“Talon”) for $130,000, subject to customary adjustments. The Company anticipates financing the acquisition with approximately $10,000 of cash on‑hand and $120,000 of incremental borrowings. Talon is located in Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, with facilities in Osakis, Minnesota; Tampa, Florida; and Seoul, South Korea. Talon is a leader in the design and manufacturing of high precision machined parts used in leading edge semiconductor tools. In connection with the acquisition of Talon, the Company expects to borrow $120,000 million under its 2015 Credit Facility as an incremental term loan facility (the “Incremental Loan”), payable in quarterly installments of $1,770. The Incremental Loan’s interest rate and maturity date are consistent with other amounts outstanding under the 2015 Credit Facility. The acquisition is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Overview

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

Fluid delivery subsystems ensure accurate measurement and uniform delivery of specialty gases and chemicals at critical steps in the semiconductor manufacturing process.processes. Any malfunction or material degradation in fluid delivery reduces yields and increases the likelihood of manufacturing defects in these processes. Historically, semiconductor original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) internally designed and manufactured the fluid delivery subsystems used in their process tools. Currently, mostMost OEMs outsource all or a portion of the design, engineering, and manufacturing of their gas delivery subsystems to a few specialized suppliers, including us. Additionally, many OEMs are also increasingly outsourcing the design, engineering, and manufacturing of their chemical delivery subsystems due to the increased fluid expertise required to manufacture these subsystems. Outsourcing these subsystems has allowed OEMs to leverage the suppliers’ highly specialized engineering, design, and production skills while focusing their internal resources on their own value‑addedvalue-added processes. We believe that this outsourcing trend has enabled OEMs to reduce their fixed costs and development time, as well as provided significantprovide growth opportunities for specialized subsystems suppliers like us.

We have a global footprint with volume production facilities in California, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, Singapore, Malaysia, Singaporethe United Kingdom, Korea, and Union City, California. We completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) in December 2016. In Mexico.


The following table summarizes key financial information for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, our two largest customers by sales were Lam Research and Applied Materials. During the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, we generated sales of $164.5 million and $105.7 million, gross profit of $24.2 million and $16.9 million, net income from continuing operations of $14.3 million and $7.7 million, and adjusted net income from continuing operations of $16.3 million and $8.3 million. Adjusted net income from continuing operations is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). See “Non‑GAAP Results” for a discussion of adjusted net income from continuing operations, an accompanying presentation of the most directly comparable financial measure calculatedperiods indicated. Amounts are presented in accordance with GAAP net income from continuingunless explicitly identified as being a non-GAAP metric. For a description of our non-GAAP metrics and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP metrics, please refer to Part I –Item 2.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Market Conditions Update

The COVID‑19 pandemic and associated macroeconomic impacts, including supply chain disruptions, tightened labor markets, and overall increased inflation have created, and are expected to continue to create significant volatility, uncertainty, and turmoil in our industry. While our facilities are currently not subject to any site-wide government shutdowns, and restrictions have eased around social, business, travel, and governmental activities, we have experienced increases in direct costs and inefficiencies within our factories associated with logistics, employee labor, and certain component shortages. These factors have resulted in, and may continue to result in, lower revenues and operating margins. The extent and duration of these impacts cannot be specifically quantified given the dynamic nature and breadth of the pandemic’s impact on our operations and a reconciliationthat of the differences between adjusted net income from continuing operationsour customers and net income from continuing operations.suppliers.

The increase in the gross amounts of cost of sales and gross profit from the thirdfirst quarter of 20162021 to the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 and2022 were primarily due to the factors mentioned in the commentary above under the heading, “Net Sales.”

The increase in our gross margin from the nine months ended September 23, 2016first quarter of 2021 to the nine months ended September 29, 2017first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the increase in sales volume. The increase in absolute dollars of gross profit was driven primarily by an increase in sales volume.

As part of our purchase of Cal‑Weld, we recorded opening inventory at fair value which included a fair value adjustment to inventory of $3.6 million. In the third quarter of 2017 we released $3.0 million of the fair value adjustment to cost of sales based on the sale of inventory during the quarter. The impact of this charge accounts for a decrease to reported gross margin of 180 basis points and 60 basis points for the third quarter of 2017 and nine months ended September 29, 2017, respectively.

As discussed in Note 1 – Basis of Presentation to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a charge to cost of sales of $1.75 million in the second quarter of 2017 due to the correction of an error related to translating inventory balances at our Singapore and Malaysia subsidiaries. The impact of this charge accounts for a decrease to reported gross margin of 40 basis points in the nine months ended September 29, 2017.

Additionally, our grossaccretive margins for the third quarter of 2017 and the nine months ended September 29, 2017 were favorably impacted from our recent acquisition of Cal‑Weld, with margins that were accretive to our historical business. This favorability wasIMG in November 2021, partially offset by decreased manufacturing efficienciesincreased materials, logistics, and labor costs, as we invest in our facilities as we kept our labor force intactcapacity to service present levels of strong customer demand in anticipationfuture quarters, and the revenue decline from our historical business comparedimpacts of component and material shortages, due to the previous quarter would be short lived.supply chain challenges, reducing factory utilization.

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense from the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017 was primarily due to increased acquisition‑related expenses from our acquisition of Cal‑Weld, incremental Cal‑Weld operating expenses incurred subsequent to the acquisition, increased incentive compensation on improved performance to operating targets, increased public company costs, and increased headcount expense to support increased sales volume.

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense from the nine months ended September 23, 2016first quarter of 2021 to the nine months ended September 29, 2017first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to increased acquisition-related expensesa non-recurring loss accrual of $3.1 million related to a probable settlement of an employment-related legal matter; $3.0 million in incremental selling, general, and administrative expense from our acquisition of Cal‑Weld, incremental operating expenses fromIMG in November 2021, $1.7 million in increased employee-related costs, inclusive of increased share-based compensation expense; $0.8 million in increased professional, consulting, and audit fees; and $0.3 million in transaction-related fees costs associated with our acquisition Cal‑Weld and Ajax, increased public company costs, increased expenses resulting from the secondary offerings of our ordinary shares by Francisco Partners in the second and third quarters of 2017, and increased headcount expense to support increased sales volume, offset in part by reduced consulting fees paid to Francisco Partners Consulting, LLC (“FPC”).

Selling, general, and administrative expense also increased during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2017 due to a charge of approximately $1.0 million as a result of the final arbitration ruling on our working capital claim with the sellers of Ajax. The ruling was outside of the one year measurement period and not considered to be an adjustment to goodwill, resulting in a charge to selling, general, and administrative expense.IMG.

AmortizationThe increase in amortization expense increased from the thirdfirst quarter of 20162021 to the thirdfirst quarter of 20172022 was primarily due to incremental amortization expense from intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Cal‑Weld.

The increaseIMG in amortization expense from the nine months ended September 23, 2016 to the nine months ended September 29, 2017 was due to incremental amortization expense from intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Ajax in the second quarter of 2016 and our acquisition of Cal‑Weld in the third quarter of 2017.

The fair value assigned to intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Cal‑Weld is still preliminary. Amortization of intangible assets may change in future periods depending on the final fair value assigned to the assets.

The decrease in interest expense, net from the nine months ended September 23, 2016first quarter of 2021 to the nine months ended September 29, 2017first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a 147‑basis point decrease in our weighted average interest rate, from 3.30 % to 1.83%, respectively, and a decrease in debt issuance cost amortization expense, partially offset by a $105.0 million increase in average debt outstanding during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 as a result of drawing $130.0 million on our revolving credit facility in November 2021 to partially fund our acquisition of IMG. The decrease in our weighted average interest rate from the first quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in our leverage ratio, which reduces the average amount borrowed during the nine months ended September 29, 2017applicable margin component of our all-in borrowing rate, as a result of the pay down of debt in December 2016 using proceeds fromwell as lower overall applicable margins under our IPOOctober 2021 amended and a 50 basis point decrease in our average interest rate during the nine months ended September 29, 2017 primarily from an amendment to our 2015 Credit Facility in connection with our acquisition of Cal‑Weld, partially offset by an additional $30.0 million in borrowings to fund our acquisition of Cal‑Weld.restated credit agreement.

The increase in the income tax benefit from continuing operations from the third quarter of 2016 to the third quarter of 2017 and from the nine months ended September 23, 2016 to the nine months ended September 29, 2017 was primarily due to a discrete tax benefit of $5.3 million recorded relating to the release of a valuation allowance as a result of acquiring deferred tax liabilities in connection with our acquisition of Cal‑Weld and a tax benefit of $1.6 million recorded due to the reversal of previously accrued withholding taxes from re‑characterizing intercompany debt to equity. This compares to the Company only recording a $2.3 million tax benefitshare-based compensation activity during the third quarter of 2016 as a result of the purchase accounting in connection with our acquisition of Ajax that allowed for the release of an equal amount of valuation allowance on a U.S. consolidated basis.quarter.


Non‑GAAP Financial Results

Management uses non‑GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operationsnon-GAAP metrics to evaluate our operating and financial results. We believe the presentation of non‑GAAPnon-GAAP results is useful to investors for analyzing business trends and comparing performance to prior periods, along with enhancing investors’ ability to view our results from management’s perspective. Non‑GAAP adjustedNon-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by net sales. Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP net income from continuing operations isare defined as: gross profit or net income from continuing operations; excluding, as applicable, (1) amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, tax adjustments relatedand non-recurring expenses, including settlement losses, facility shutdown costs, and acquisition-related costs and charges, to those non‑GAAP adjustments;the extent they are present in gross profit or net income; and (2) the tax benefits from acquisitions; and other non‑recurring charges. Non‑GAAP adjustedimpacts associated with our non-GAAP adjustments, as well as non-recurring discrete tax items. Non-GAAP diluted EPSearnings per share (“EPS”) is defined as non‑GAAP adjustednon-GAAP net income from continuing operations divided by adjustedweighted average diluted ordinary shares which assumesoutstanding during the IPO shares sold, the conversion of preferred shares into ordinary shares, and vesting of restricted shares and options in connection with the IPO occurred at the beginning of the measurement period.

Included in this amount for the third quarter of 2017 are (i) expenses incurred in connection with the secondary offering of our ordinary shares by FP and (ii) acquisition‑related expenses. Included in this amount for the nine months ended September 29, 2017 are (i) expenses incurred in connection with the secondary offering of our ordinary shares by FP, (ii) acquisition‑related expenses, (iii) a refund from FPC, and (iv) a gain on sale of our investment in CHawk. Included in this amount for the third quarter of 2016 and the nine months ended September 23, 2016 are (i) IPO preparation expenses, (ii) consulting fees paid to FPC, (iii) bonuses paid to members of our management in connection with the cash dividend paid by us in August 2015, and (iv) acquisition‑related expenses.

(2)

Included in this amount for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2017 is a $5.3 million tax benefit recorded as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Cal‑Weld in July 2017. Included in this amount for the three and nine months ended September 23, 2016 is a $2.3 million tax benefit recorded as a result of the Company’s acquisition of Ajax in April 2016.

(3)

In the third quarter of 2017 the Company re‑characterized intercompany debt to equity between its U.S. and Singapore entities which resulted in a tax benefit of $1.6 million related to the reversal of previously accrued withholding taxes.

(4)

During the second quarter of 2017, we corrected an error related to translating the inventory balances at our Malaysia and Singapore subsidiaries at an incorrect foreign currency rate. The error arose in prior period financial statements beginning in periods prior to 2014 and through 2016. The correction resulted in a $1.75 million increase in cost of sales and a corresponding decrease in gross profit in our consolidated statement of operations and a decrease to inventories in our consolidated balance sheet during the second quarter of 2017. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis – Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016 above for further detail.

(5)

As part of our purchase price allocation for Cal‑Weld, we recorded inventory at fair value, which included a fair value adjustment to inventory of $3.6 million. In the third quarter of 2017, we released $3.0 million of the fair value adjustment to cost of sales based on the sale of inventory during the quarter.


(6)

During the third quarter of 2017, we received a final arbitration ruling on our working capital claim with the sellers of Ajax. The ruling was outside the one year measurement period and therefore could not be considered an adjustment to goodwill, resulting in a charge to selling, general, and administrative expense.

(7)

Assumes the IPO shares sold, the conversion of preferred shares into ordinary shares, and vesting of restricted shares and options in connection with the IPO occurred at the beginning of the measurement period, for comparability between current and prior periods. No adjustment is needed to diluted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2017.

Non‑GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations hasNon-GAAP results have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider itthem in isolation or as a substitute for net income or any of our other operating results reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate adjusted net incomenon-GAAP results differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, both of which could reduce the usefulness of our adjusted net incomenon-GAAP results as a tool for comparison.

Because of these limitations, you should consider non‑GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operationsnon-GAAP results alongside other financial performance measures including net income from continuing operations and other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, in evaluating non‑GAAP adjusted net income,non-GAAP results, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses such as those that are the subject of adjustments in deriving adjusted net incomenon-GAAP results and you should not infer from our presentation of adjusted net incomenon-GAAP results that our future results will not be affected by these expenses or any unusual or non‑recurringnon-recurring items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Material Cash Requirements

Our primary liquidity requirements arise from: (i) working capital requirements, including procurement of $42.8 million asraw materials inventory for use in our factories and employee-related costs, (ii) business acquisitions, (iii) interest and principal payments under our credit facilities, (iv) research and development investments and capital expenditures, and (v) payment of September 29, 2017.income taxes. We have no significant long-term purchase commitments related to procuring raw materials inventory. Our principal uses of liquidity areability to fund these requirements will depend, in part, on our working capital needsfuture cash flows, which are determined by our future operating performance and purchase new capital equipment.

The increase inour net operating assets and liabilities of $56.6 million.

The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions, was primarily due to an increase in inventories of $27.7 million, a decrease in accounts receivablepayable of $22.6$18.2 million, resulting from increased sales volume and timing of shipments and customer payments during the period, and an increase in accounts receivable of $10.5 million. The increase in our inventories is primarily driven by elevated purchasing activity pursuant to strong customer demand and certain supply chain component constraints. The decrease in accounts payable and increase in accounts receivable were primarily due to fluctuations in payment timing to suppliers and from customers, as well as a higher revenues in the last few weeks of $18.9 million, resulting from increased materials purchasesthe first quarter of 2022 compared to support increased demand.

Financing Activities

Cash generated from financing activities increased during the nine months ended September 29, 2017 to $43.0 million due to $7.3 million of net proceeds from the exerciseshare-based compensation activity of the underwriters’ over‑allotment option in January 2017 in connection with our IPO, $6.3$0.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options by certain employees and board members of the Company, and $30.0 million of proceeds from increased borrowing under our term loan facility and revolving credit facility to fund our acquisition of Cal‑Weld, partially offset by a principal payment on our term loan facility of $0.3 million and debt issuance and modification costs of $0.3 million..


Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates

Our discussion and analysis of ourconsolidated financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgmentsassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenuessales, expenses, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, advertising expense and share‑based compensation.disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe to behave the most critical to understandingsignificant impact on our consolidated financial results and condition and that require complex and subjective management judgments and estimatesstatements are identified and described in our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 30, 2016 (our “Annual Report”).K.

As a result, we do not expect foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to have a material effect on our results of operations. However, increases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies would make our products more expensive relative to competing products priced in such other currencies, which could negatively impact our ability to compete. Conversely, decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could result in our foreign suppliers raising their prices in order to continue doing business with us.

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

Interest Rate Risk

We had total outstanding debtindebtedness of $69.5$293.1 million as of September 29, 2017,April 1, 2022, exclusive of $2.1 million in debt issuance costs, of which $1.2$7.5 million was due within 12 months. The outstanding amount of debt reflected in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report is net of $1.8 million of debt issuance costs as of September 29, 2017.

We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. We have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in interest rates. TheAs of April 1, 2022, the interest rate on a significant majority of our outstanding debt is variable, which also reducesbased on BSBY, plus an applicable rate depending on our exposure to theseleverage ratio. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in the interest rate risks. A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our financial statements.outstanding debt would have resulted in a $0.7 million change to interest expense during the first quarter of 2022, or $2.9 million on an annualized basis.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a‑15(b) under the Exchange Act, weWe carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer or CFO,(the certifying officers), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act)Act, as amended (“the Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.December 31, 2021. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon thaton this evaluation, our CEOChief Executive Officer and CFOChief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective becauseas of theApril 1, 2022, due to material weaknessweaknesses in our internal control described below,over financial reporting that was disclosed in Part II – Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and did not provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingProcedures

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

During the second quarter of 2017, we identified a material weaknessChanges in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting related(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period covered under this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to ineffective periodic risk assessmentmaterially affect, our internal control over control activities that ensure the ending inventory balancesfinancial reporting.

Remediation

As previously described in Part II – Item 9A of our Malaysia and Singapore subsidiaries were recorded atAnnual Report on Form 10‑K for the appropriate U.S. Dollar functional currency rate. During our previous consolidation process,fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we hadbegan implementing a manual process that translated these inventory balances intoremediation plan to address the U.S. Dollar functional currency at incorrect rates for these subsidiaries due to system limitations, and we didmaterial weaknesses mentioned above. The weaknesses will not implement a control to reconcilebe considered remediated until the ending inventory balance at our Malaysia and Singapore subsidiaries to the final inventory balance reported in our consolidated financial statements. This material weakness resulted in an accumulated overstatement of inventory as of March 31, 2017 of approximately $1.75 million. We corrected this overstatement in the second quarter of 2017 with a charge to cost of sales of $1.75 million. Additionally, we completed the re‑implementation of our Oracle system, which allows for a systems‑based calculation of inventory purchases and ending inventory at the proper U.S. Dollar functional currency rates, and we have implemented a control to reconcile the final Malaysia and Singapore inventory sub‑ledger balances to the final balances recorded in consolidation. While we believe that the new system will correctly record inventory purchases and that our newly implemented reconciliation control will operate at a sufficient level of precision to identify any significant errors, management will continue to monitor the mitigation measures taken as theapplicable controls will need to operate for a reasonablesufficient period of time to determine whether theyand management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectivelyeffectively. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to remediate the material weakness.end of fiscal year 2022.
