Note 2.    Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

Adopted Pronouncements

Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
In May 2017,March 2020, theFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”(the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, Compensation-Stock CompensationASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 718)848): ScopeFacilitation of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This topic provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changesoptional expedients to ease the terms or conditionspotential burden of a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the accounting for the effects of reference rate reform as it pertains to contract modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should onlyof debt and lease contracts and derivative contracts identified in a hedging relationship. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The new guidance is applied prospectively to awards modifiedcontract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or afterbefore December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the adoption date.FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, to extend the temporary accounting rules under Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The adoptionCompany adopted Topic 848 in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and applied the practical expedients under Topic 848 to account for modifications and updates to its floating rate debt, its interest rate swap and its interest rate cap. Application of this standardthese practical expedients allowed the Company to maintain hedge accounting for its interest rate cap and swap contracts. The adoption did not have a material effectimpact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Company's consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
In January 2017,October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and OtherNo. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 350)805): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. This standard removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test, where a determination of the fair value of individualContract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities ofacquired in a reporting unit were needed to measure the goodwill impairment. Under this updated standard, goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company has adopted this standard for any impairment test that is performed after July 1, 2017 as permitted under the standard.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, and classificationbusiness combination in the statement of cash flows. Under this ASU, excess tax benefits or deficiencies are recognized in income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Upon adoption of this ASU, the Company had a valuation allowance for its U.S. deferred tax assets and did not recognize any tax benefit. Had the Company not had a valuation allowance, the Company would have recognized a tax benefit of $2.4 million. The impact to the Company’s dilutive shares under this new standard was immaterial.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825). This update requires that public entities measure equity investmentsaccordance with readily determinable fair values, at fair value, with changes in their fair value recorded through net income. This ASU also clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available for sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This update simplifies the measurement of inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. This update eliminates the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method in previous periods when an investor obtains significant influence over an investee. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.


Revenue Recognition Pronouncement Currently Under Evaluation

Total preliminary Merger consideration was $7.1 billion, including replacement equity awards attributable to pre-combination service for certain Legacy Coherent restricted stock units.
The Company has completed its assessment of its military related contracts that comprise approximately 10% of consolidated revenues and preliminarily concluded that the Company will accelerate the recognition of revenue under the ASU for these contracts as the customer obtains control of the goods or service promised in the contract. The Company is currently evaluating the commercial portion of its business; the assessment will be completed during fiscal year 2018. Based upon our evaluation to date, we cannot currently estimate the impacts of adopting the ASU at this time. The Company will adopt this ASU using the modified retrospective method whereby the cumulative effect of applying the ASU would be recognized at the beginning of the year of adoption.

Acquisitions and Investment

Purchase of Equity Investment

In November 2017, the Company acquired a 93.8% equity investment in a privately-held company for $51.5 million. The Company’s pro-rata share of earnings from this investment since the acquisition date was $1.1 million, and was recorded in other expense (income), net for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

The Company has a nonconsolidated investment that is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (“Equity Investment”). The following table summarizes the Company's equity in the nonconsolidated investment:

The Equity Investment has been determined to be a variable interest entity because the Company has an overall 93.8% economic position in the investee comprising a significant portion of its capitalization, but has only a 25% voting interest. The Company’s obligation to receive rewards and absorb expected losses is disproportionate to its voting interest. The Company is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities of the equity investment that most significantly impact its economic performance. Certain business decisions, including, but not limited to, decisions with respect to operating  budgets, material capital expenditures, indebtedness, significant acquisitions or dispositions, and strategic decisions, require the approval of owners holding a majority percentage in the Equity Investment. Beginning on the date it was acquired, the Company accounted for its interest as an equity method investment as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the Equity Investment.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s maximum financial statement exposure related to the Equity Investment was approximately $54.8 million, which is the investment balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017.

The Company has the right to purchase all of the outstanding interest of each of the minority equity holders and the minority equity holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase all of outstanding interest at any time on or after the third anniversary of the investment or earlier upon certain events. The purchase price is equal to the greater of: (a) (i) the product of the aggregate trailing 12-month revenues of the investment preceding the date of purchase, multiplied by (ii) a factor of 2.9 multiplied by (iii) a factor of 0.723, multiplied by (iv) the percentage interest owned by each minority equity holder and (b) $966,666. The Company performed a Monte Carlo simulation to estimateallocated the fair value of the net put optionpreliminary purchase price consideration to the tangible assets, liabilities, and intangible assets acquired, generally based on estimated fair values. The excess preliminary purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Our valuation assumptions of acquired assets and assumed liabilities require significant estimates, especially with respect to intangible assets, inventories, property, plant & equipment and deferred income taxes. In determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must make assumptions about the future performance of the acquired business, including among other things, the forecasted revenue growth attributable to the asset group and projected operating expenses inclusive of expected synergies, future cost savings, and other benefits expected to be achieved by combining the Company and Legacy Coherent. The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, developed technology and backlog. The Company utilized widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches to perform the preliminary purchase price allocation. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships and backlog are determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and the estimated fair value of the trade names and trademarks and developed technology are determined using the relief from royalty method. Both methods require forward looking estimates that are discounted to determine the fair value of the intangible asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate that is reflective of the level of risk associated with future estimates associated with the asset group that could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

The purchase price allocation set forth is preliminary and will be revised as third party valuations are finalized or additional information becomes available during the measurement period, which could be up to 12 months from the Closing Date. Any such revisions or changes may be material.

(i) The Company recorded measurement period adjustments to its preliminary acquisition date fair values due to the refinement of its valuation models, assumptions and inputs. The following measurement period adjustments were based upon information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the investmentacquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date.
(ii) The Condensed Combined Balance Sheet has been adjusted to record Legacy Coherent’s inventories at a preliminary fair value of approximately $564 million, an increase of $67 million from the preliminary fair value reported at September 30, 2022 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. The Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings (Loss) for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 includes cost of goods sold of approximately zero and $158 million, respectively, related to the increased basis in the preliminary fair value compared to the carrying value. The costs are being amortized over the expected period during which the acquired inventory is sold, and thus are not anticipated to affect the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) beyond twelve months after the Closing Date.
(iii) The Company has adjusted its prepaid and refundable income taxes, deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability positions as of March 31, 2023, to $7 million, zero and $856 million, respectively, as a result of measurement period adjustments.

(iv) The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been adjusted to record Legacy Coherent’s property, plant and equipment (consisting of land, buildings and improvements, equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements) at a preliminary fair value of approximately $441 million, an increase of $17 million from the preliminary fair value reported at September 30, 2022 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) have been adjusted to recognize additional depreciation expense related to the increased basis. The additional depreciation expense is computed with the assumption that the various categories of assets will be depreciated over their remaining useful lives on a straight-line basis.
(v) Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheet increased $1.1 billion from the preliminary fair value reported at September 30, 2022 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. Intangibles amortization recorded a liabilityin cost of $2.2goods sold for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $21 million and $64 million, respectively. Intangibles amortization recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 was $51 million and $156 million, respectively.
Preliminary identifiable intangible assets consist of the following and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) (in $000):

(vi) The Company recorded approximately $1 million of increases in other long-termcurrent liabilities and $5 million of increases in other liabilities as measurement period adjustments.
Operating results, including goodwill and intangibles, of Legacy Coherent are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the Closing Date, within the Lasers segment. Revenues and net loss for the Lasers segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $365 million and $65 million, respectively. Revenues and net loss for the Lasers segment for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were $1,137 million and $364 million, respectively. Goodwill in the amount of $3.1 billion arising from the acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies, including future cost savings, and other benefits expected to be generated by combining Coherent and Legacy Coherent. Substantially all of the goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Credit Facilities

On August 24, 2017, the CompanyJuly 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Coherent entered into a purchaseCredit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), the lenders, and other parties thereto, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for senior secured financing of $4.0 billion, consisting of a term loan A credit facility (“the Term A Facility”), with an aggregate principal amount of $850 million, a term loan B credit facility (“the Term B Facility” and, together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Facilities”), with an aggregate principal amount of $2,800 million, and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), in an aggregate available amount of $350 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $50 million. On March 31, 2023, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which replaced the adjusted LIBOR-based rate of interest therein with an adjusted SOFR-based rate of interest. As amended, the Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate subject to a 0.10% floor plus a range of 1.75% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings bear interest at adjusted SOFR plus 1.75% as of March 31, 2023. As amended, the Term B Facility bears interest at an adjusted SOFR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.75%. In relation to the Term Facilities, the Company incurred interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, of $69 million and $183 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).
On the Closing Date, the Borrower and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, provided a guaranty of all obligations of the Borrower and the other loan parties under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents, secured cash management agreements and secured hedge agreements with the lenders and/or their affiliates (subject to certain exceptions). The Borrower and the other guarantors have also granted a security interest in substantially of their assets to secure such obligations.
Proceeds of the loans borrowed under the Term Facilities on July 1, 2022, together with other financing sources (including the net proceeds from Coherent's offer and sale of its 5.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) and cash on hand) were used to fund the cash portion of the Merger consideration, the repayment of certain indebtedness (including the repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement as defined below), and certain fees and expenses in connection with the Merger and otherwise for general corporate purposes.
The Company capitalized approximately $90 million of debt issuance costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2023. These capitalized costs are presented as contra-debt within the long-term debt caption in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amortization of debt issuance costs related to the New Term Facilities for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 totaled $5 million and $14 million, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the New Term Facilities.

Prior Senior Credit Facilities
Through June 30, 2022, the Company had senior credit facilities (the “Prior Senior Credit Facilities”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto.
The credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) provided for senior secured financing of $2.4 billion in the aggregate, consisting of

As a result of the issuance and sale of the Senior Notes, the Bridge Loan Commitment was terminated. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $18 million, respectively, related to the termination of the Bridge Loan Commitment, which is included in other expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). There will be no additional expense related to the Bridge Loan Commitment going forward.

Table of Contents
On or after December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings as set forth in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
In relation to the Senior Notes, the Company incurred interest expense of $13 million and $38 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).
The Indenture contains customary covenants and events of default, including default relating to among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Senior Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.
0.25% convertible senior notesConvertible Senior Notes due 2022
In August 2017, the Company issued and sold $345 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Notes"“Convertible Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, we granted the Initial Purchasers a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $45 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Over-Allotment Option”).

On August 29, 2017, the Initial Purchasers exercised their Over-Allotment Option to purchase the entire $45 million in aggregate principal amount of additional Notes. The Notes mature

Beginning on September 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted by holders in accordance with the terms of the Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2018.

The sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers settled on August 29, 2017, and resulted in approximately $336 million in net proceeds to the Company after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and the estimated offering expenses. The net proceeds from the offering and sale of the Notes were used, in part, to repurchase approximately $49.9 million of our Common Stock.  The Company used the remaining net proceeds to repay $252 million on its revolving credit facility and to pay debt issuance costs of $10.1 million.


The Notes are governed by an Indenture between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; equal in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, our assets that secure secured debt will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all indebtedness under such secured debt has been repaid in full from such assets. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock, at the Company’s election.

As a result of our cash conversion option, the Company separately accounted for the value of the embedded conversion option as a debt discount. The value of the embedded conversion option was determined based on the estimated fair value of the debt without the conversion feature, which was determined using an expected present value technique (income approach) to estimate the fair value of similar nonconvertible debt; the debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 4.5% per annum.

The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The initial conversion rate is 21.25 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $47.06 per share of Common Stock. Throughout the term of the Notes, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.

Holders of the Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a note. Accrued but unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2022, the Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of at least one of the conditions as follows:

a)

During any fiscal quarter beginning after the fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

b)

During the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

c)

Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events

On or after June 1, 2022 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), holders were able to convert their Convertible Notes at any time. For the maturity date,fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, the holders may convert all or anyof the Convertible Notes converted $332 million of principal, which was recorded as current portion of their Notes,long-term debt at June 30, 2022, and received approximately 7 million shares of Coherent Common Stock in multiplessettlement of $1,000the conversions.

On the Maturity Date, $4 million aggregate principal amount atof Convertible Notes remained outstanding, and was repaid in cash, and the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

As of  December 31, 2017, theConvertible Notes are not yet convertible. In accounting forno longer outstanding. At the transaction costsMaturity Date, the accrued interest on the Coherent Convertible Notes was immaterial. The total interest expense related to the Note issuance, the Company allocated the total amount of offering costs incurred to the debt and equity components based on their relative values. Offering costs attributable to the debt component, totaling $8.4 million, are being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of theConvertible Notes and offering costs attributable to the equity component, totaling $1.7 million, were recorded within stockholders' equity.

Amended Credit Facility

On July 28, 2016, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) provides for a revolving credit facility of $325 million, as well as a $100 million term loan. The term loan is being repaid in consecutive quarterly principal payments on the first business day of each January, April, July and October, with the first payment having commenced on October 1, 2016, as follows: (i) twenty consecutive quarterly installments of $5 million and (ii) a final installment of all remaining principal due and payable on the maturity date of July 27, 2021. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility are due and payable on the maturity date. The Amended Credit Facility is unsecured, but is guaranteed by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company. The Company has the option to request an increase to the size of the revolving credit facility in an aggregate additional amount not to exceed $100 million. The Amended Credit Facility has a five-year term through July 27, 2021 and has an interest rate of either a Base Rate Option or a Euro-Rate Option, plus an Applicable Margin, as defined in the agreement governing the Amended Credit Facility. If the Base Rate option is selected for a borrowing, the Applicable Margin is 0.00% to 1.25% and if the Euro-Rate Option is selected for a borrowing, the Applicable Margin is 1.00% to 2.25%. The Applicable Margin is based on the ratio of the Company’s consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA. Additionally, the Credit Facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under its Amended Credit Facility.

The Company’s Yen denominated line of credit is a 500 million Yen (approximately $4.4 million) facility. The Yen line of credit matures in August 2020. The interest rate is equal to LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 0.625% to 1.75%. At December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company had 300 million Yen borrowed. Additionally, the facility is subject to certain covenants, including those relating to minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios.

Income Taxes


Note 9.    Income Taxes
The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at DecemberMarch 31, 2017 and 20162023 was 45.9% and 27.8%, respectively.33% compared to an effective tax rate of 18% for the same period in 2022. The variations between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 201821% were primarily due to the impact of thenondeductible expenses and tax rate differentials between U.S. enacted tax legislation and earnings generated from the Company’s foreign operations, which are subject to income taxes at lower statutory rates.  

jurisdictions.

U.S. GAAP prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements which includes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 and June 30, 2017,2022, the Company’s gross unrecognized income tax benefit, excluding interest and penalties, was $7.7$66 million and $7.6$37 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as noncurrentnon-current income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. If recognized, $5.5$27 million of the gross unrecognized tax benefits at DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 would impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision onin the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.Earnings (Loss). The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $0.5$6 million and $0.3$3 million at DecemberMarch 31, 20172023 and June 30, 2017,2022, respectively.
Fiscal years 20142019 to 20182022 remain open to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 20122018 to 20182022 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 20062011 to 20182022 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company’s income tax returns are notCompany is currently under examination.examination for certain subsidiary companies in California for the years ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2019; Colorado for the years ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2021; Vietnam for the years ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2021; Singapore for the year ended September 30, 2020; and Germany for the years ended September 30, 2011 through September 30, 2020. The Company believes its income tax reserves for these tax matters are adequate.

Note 10.    Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception for arrangements with an initial term of more than 12 months, and classify it as either finance or operating.
Finance leases are generally those that allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated useful life. Finance lease assets are recorded in property, plant and equipment, net, and finance lease liabilities within other accrued liabilities and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease assets are amortized in operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, with the interest component for lease liabilities included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.
Operating leases are recorded in other assets and operating lease liabilities, current and non-current on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in operating expenses over the lease term.
The Company’s lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining fixed lease payments, over the lease term, using a discount rate of similarly secured borrowings available to the Company. For the purpose of lease liability measurement, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. Any variable payments that depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. The Company accounts for non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, as a component of the lease, and includes it in the initial measurement of leased assets and corresponding liabilities. The Company’s lease terms and conditions may include options to extend or terminate. An option is recognized when it is reasonably certain that Coherent will exercise that option.
The Company’s lease assets also include any lease payments made and exclude any lease incentives received prior to commencement. Our lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations.

Note 11.    Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
In July 2020, the Company issued 2.3 million shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.
Unless previously converted, each outstanding share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) into a number of shares of Coherent Common Stock equal to not more than 4.6512 shares and not less than 3.8760 shares (the Minimum Conversion Rate), depending on the applicable market value of the Coherent Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
21


Other than in the event of one of certain fundamental changes, a holder of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may, at any time prior to July 1, 2023, elect to convert such holder's shares, in whole or in part, at a Minimum Conversion Rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
If one of certain fundamental changes occurs on or prior to July 1, 2023, holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to convert their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of Coherent Common Stock at the conversion rate determined in accordance with the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock during the period beginning on, and including, the effective date of such change and ending on, and including, the date that is 20 calendar days after the effective date of such fundamental change (or, if later, the date that is 20 calendar days after holders receive notice of such fundamental change, but in no event later than July 1, 2023). Holders who convert their shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock during that period will also receive a dividend make-whole amount and, to the extent there is any, the accumulated dividend amount, in each case as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Company recognized $7 million and $21 million of preferred stock dividends for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, associated with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company recognized $7 million and $21 million of preferred stock dividends for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, associated with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
In March 2021, the Company issued 75,000 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share ("Series B-1 Preferred Stock").
The shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Coherent Common Stock as follows:
at the election of the holder, at an initial conversion price of $85 per share (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the “Conversion Price”) upon the delivery by Coherent to the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock of an offer to repurchase the Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock as defined below); and
at the election of the Company, any time following March 31, 2024 at the then-applicable Conversion Price if the volume-weighted average price of Coherent Common Stock exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for 20 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days.
The issued shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock currently have voting rights, voting as one class with the Coherent Common Stock and the Series B-2 Preferred Stock (as defined below), on an as-converted basis, subject to limited exceptions.

the Company has the right to redeem, in whole or in part, on a Junepro rata basis from all holders based on the aggregate number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding, for cash, at the Redemption Price.

In connection with any Fundamental Change (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock), and subject to the procedures set forth in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company must, or will cause the survivor of a Fundamental Change to, make an offer to repurchase, at the option and election of the holder thereof, each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock then-outstanding at a purchase price per share in cash equal to (i) the Stated Value for such shares plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value as of the date of repurchase plus (ii) if prior to March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of all dividends that would have been paid (subject to certain exceptions), from the date of repurchase through March 31, 2026.
If the Company defaults on a payment obligation with respect to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and such default is not cured within 30 fiscal year-end,days, the lower corporate income taxdividend rate will increase to 8% per annum and will be phasedincreased by an additional 2% per annum each quarter the Company remains in resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately 28%default, not to exceed 14% per annum.

The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is initially measured at fair value less issuance costs, accreted to its redemption value over a 10-year period (using the effective interest method) with such accretion accounted for as deemed dividends and reductions to Net Earnings Available to Common Shareholders.
Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock
On July 1, 2022, the Company issued 140,000 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (“Series B-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”).
The shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Coherent Common Stock as follows:

The issued shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock currently have voting rights, voting as one class with the Coherent Common Stock and the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, on total post-1986 earningsan as-converted basis, subject to limited exceptions.
On or at any time after July 1, 2032:
each holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all of their Series B-2 Preferred Stock, for cash, at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of the Stated Value for such shares (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and profits (“E&P”) of foreign subsidiariesunpaid dividends on such shares that werehad not previously deferred from U.S. income taxes.

the Company has not finalized its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act; however, as described below, management has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on existing deferred tax balances and has recorded an estimated amount for its one-time repatriation tax, resultingright to redeem, in an increase in income tax expense. The Company has yet to complete its calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P. Further, the one-time repatriation tax is basedwhole or in part, on a pro rata basis from all holders based on the aggregate number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock outstanding, for cash, at the Redemption Price.
In connection with any Fundamental Change, and subject to the procedures set forth in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company must, or will cause the survivor of a Fundamental Change to, make an offer to repurchase, at the option and election of the holder thereof, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock then-outstanding at a purchase price per share in cash equal to (i) the Stated Value for such shares plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value as of the date of repurchase plus (ii) if prior to July 1, 2027, the aggregate amount of thoseall dividends that would have been paid (subject to certain exceptions), from the date of repurchase through July 1, 2027.
If the Company defaults on a payment obligation with respect to the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and such default is not cured within 30 days, the dividend rate will increase to 8% per annum and will be increased by an additional 2% per annum each quarter the Company remains in default, not to exceed 14% per annum.
The Series B-2 Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash outside of the control of the Company upon the exercise of the Put Right, and upon a Fundamental Change, and is therefore classified as mezzanine equity.
23


The Series B-2 Preferred Stock is initially measured at fair value less issuance costs, accreted to its redemption value over a 10-year period (using the effective interest method) with such accretion accounted for as deemed dividends and reductions to Net Earnings Available to Common Shareholders.
The Company recognized $29 million and $87 million of preferred stock dividends related to the Series B Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized $10 million and $30 million of preferred stock dividends related to the Series B Preferred Stock for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The preferred stock dividends were presented as a reduction to retained earnings held in cashon the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023.

Note 12.    Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the balanceweighted-average number of those assets at June 30, 2018, whichshares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is not yet known. This amount may change whencomputed by dividing the diluted earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, as the Company finalizeswas in a net loss position, no dilution was included in the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferredearnings (loss) per share.
Potentially dilutive shares whose effect would have been anti-dilutive are excluded from U.S. taxation and the amounts held in cash or other specified assets as of June 30, 2018 are known.

The impact of the repatriation tax is expected to be offset by available net operating loss and credit carryforwards which currently have a valuation allowance.  Thus the tax expense reported is reduced by the release of the valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets.  The reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate caused the Company to adjust the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower U.S. statutory federal rate of 21%. However, the Company will continue to analyze certain aspects of the Tax Act which could affect the measurement of these balances or give rise to new deferred tax amounts. In addition, the Company has recorded withholding taxes on planned repatriation due to the change to a territorial tax system.  The transitional impacts described above resulted in a cumulative provisional net charge of $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.  

The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The final transition impacts of the Tax Act may differ from the estimates recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2017, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign subsidiaries. The Securities Exchange Commission has issued rules that allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The Company currently anticipates finalizing and recording any resulting adjustments by the end of the quarter ending December 31, 2018.

The Company’s corporate expenses and assets are allocated to the segments. The Company evaluatesexpenses associated with the Legacy Coherent acquisition for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023 are wholly allocated to the Lasers segment. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022, the expenses associated with the acquisition of Legacy Coherent were not allocated to an operating segment, performance based upon reported segment operating income, which is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. Inter-segment saleswere presented in Unallocated and transfers are eliminated.

Note  12.

Note 15.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The FASB defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous markets for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

Level 1 –

Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 –

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3 –

Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

Level 1 –Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 –Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 –Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.
The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

In

The Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $1,075 million to limit the exposure to its variable interest rate debt by effectively converting it to a fixed interest rate. Through February 2016,28, 2023, the Company received payments based on the one-month LIBOR and made payments based on a fixed rate of 1.52%. The Company received payments with a floor of 0.00%. The interest rate swap agreement had an effective date of November 24, 2019, with an expiration date of September 24, 2024. The initial notional amount of the interest rate swap was decreased to $825 million in June 2022 and will remain at that amount through the expiration date. On March 20, 2023, the Company amended its $825 million interest rate swap ("Amended Swap"), effective as of February 28, 2023, to replace the current reference rate (LIBOR) with SOFR, to be consistent with the amended credit agreement. See Note 8. Debt for further information. Under the Amended Swap, the Company receives payments based on the one-month SOFR and makes payments based on a fixed rate of 1.42%. The Company receives payments with a floor of 0.10%. The Company designated this instrument as a cash flow hedge and deemed the hedge relationship effective at inception of the contract and amended contract.
The fair value of the interest rate swap of $35 million is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within prepaid and other current assets and other assets as of March 31, 2023. Changes in fair value are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss) as interest expense in the period in which the underlying transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations. The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap including the period to maturity, and while there are no quoted prices in active markets, it uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value analysis also considers a credit valuation adjustment to reflect nonperformance risk of both the Company and the single counterparty. The interest rate swap is classified as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy.
On February 23, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap ("the Cap") with an effective date of July 1, 2023. On March 20, 2023, the Company amended the Cap to replace the current reference rate (LIBOR) with SOFR, to be consistent with the amended credit agreement. See Note 8. Debt for further information. The Cap manages the Company's exposure to interest rate movements on a contingent earnout arrangement whichportion of the Company's floating rate debt. The Cap provides upthe Company with the right to receive payment if one-month SOFR exceeds 1.92%. Beginning in July 2023, the Company will begin to pay a maximumfixed monthly premium based on an annual rate of $6.0 million of additional cash earnout opportunities based upon II-VI EpiWorks achieving certain agreed upon financial and operational targets for capacity, wafers output and gross margin, which if earned would be payable0.853% for the achievementCap. The Cap will carry a notional amount ranging from $500 million to $1,500 million. The fair value of each specific annual targetthe interest rate cap of $28 million is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within prepaid and other current assets and other assets as of March 31, 2023.

Table of Contents
The Cap, as amended, is designed to mirror the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended on March 31, 2023. The Company designated the Cap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the SOFR based interest payments on the Term Loan Facilities. Every period over the next three years. life of the hedging relationship, the entire change in fair value related to the hedging instrument will first be recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into interest expense in the same period or periods in which interest expense is recognized on the Credit Agreement, or its direct replacement. The fair value of the Cap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflects the contractual terms of the Cap including the period to maturity, and while there are no quoted prices in active markets, it uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The Cap is classified as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company paidestimated the first year earnout amountfair value of $2.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

In June 2017,Senior Notes based on quoted market prices as of the last trading day prior to March 31, 2023; however, the Senior Notes have only a limited trading volume and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily the value at which the Senior Notes could be retired or transferred. The Company concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2. The carrying value of the Senior Notes is net of unamortized discount and issuance costs. See Note 8. Debt for details on the Company’s debt facilities.

The fair value and carrying value of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were as followed ($000):
March 31, 2023June 30, 2022
Fair ValueCarrying ValueFair ValueCarrying Value

Senior Notes$901,326 $982,914 $865,527 $982,297 
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 among the fair value hierarchy and approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company’s borrowings including its lease obligations and the Senior Notes, are considered Level 2 among the fair value hierarchy and their principal amounts approximate fair value.
The Company, from time to time, purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts that permit it to transact specified amounts of these foreign currencies for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates that represent assets or liabilities on the balance sheets of certain subsidiaries. These contracts are entered into a contingent earnout arrangement which provides up to a maximum of $2.5 million of additional cash earnout opportunities based upon IPI achieving certain agreed upon financial and transitional objectives relating to finance, information technology and human resources, which if earned would be payable for the achievementpurpose of each specific annual target overlimiting translational exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and which otherwise would expose the next year.

Company's earnings, on the revaluation of its aggregate net assets or liabilities in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk. At DecemberMarch 31, 2017,2023, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts recorded at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts.


In November 2017, Realized gains related to these contracts for the Company acquired a 93.8% equity ownership of a privately held company. The Company has the right to purchase all of the outstanding interest of each of the minority equity holdersthree and the minority equity holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase all of outstanding interest at any time on or after the third anniversary of the investment or earlier upon certain events. The Company performed a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of the net put option at the investment datenine months ended March 31, 2023 were $0 million and recorded a liability of $2.2$5 million, respectively, and were included in other long-term liabilitiesexpense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017 in accordance with ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging. The fair valueStatements of the net put option will be adjusted on a quarterly basis with any changes in the fair value recorded through earnings.

The fair values of the contingent earnout arrangements and the net put option were measured using valuations based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3)Earnings (Loss).

The Company estimated the fair value of the 0.25% convertible notes based on quoted market prices as of the last trading day prior to December 31, 2017; however, the convertible notes have only a limited trading volume and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily the value at which the convertible notes could be retired or transferred. The Company concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2. The carrying value of the convertible notes is net of unamortized discount and issuance costs. See Note 7. Debt for details on the Company’s debt facilities. The fair value and carrying value of the convertible notes were as follows at December 31, 2017 ($000):

Acquisition and Background of Coherent, Inc.
The acquisition of IPI. See Note 3. AcquisitionsCoherent, Inc. (“Legacy Coherent”), one of the world's leading providers of laser and Investment. The operating results of this acquisition have been reflectedoptics-based product solutions, closed on July 1, 2022. For the full fiscal year 2023, Legacy Coherent will be included in the selected financial informationcombined company and rebranded as the Lasers Segment. Legacy Coherent’s lasers and optics products serve industrial customers in semiconductor and display capital equipment, precision manufacturing and aerospace & defense, as well as instrumentation customers in life science and scientific instrumentation.
Legacy Coherent delivers systems to the world's leading brands, innovators, and researchers, all backed with a global service and support network. Since inception in 1966, Legacy Coherent has grown through internal organic expansion and through strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies, intellectual property, manufacturing processes, and product offerings.
The word "laser" is an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." Lasers emit an intense output of light with unique and highly useful properties, of which its near perfect collimation (beam like property) is the most commonly known, as well usually being highly monochromatic at a precise wavelength (color). The name Coherent originates from another key property which is related to the synchronization of the Company’s II-VI Photonics segment sincephase of the datelight oscillations, known as coherence. Therefore, lasers are many orders of acquisition.

In August 2017,magnitude brighter than any other optical source. Lasers also have the Company completed its acquisitionability to be pulsed at almost any repetition rate, even beyond a billion times per second, and are the technology which underpins the global fiber optic communications network, as well as producing the shortest man-made pulses of II-VI Compound Semiconductors Ltd. See Note 3. Acquisitionsany technology known.

As a result of their highly collimated beams, the light can be focused to a very small and Investment.intense spot or line, useful for applications requiring enough power to modify the target material, with very high precision through processes such as heat treating (annealing), welding or cutting almost any material. The operating resultslaser's high spatial resolution is also useful for microscopic imaging and inspection applications, where the laser light is essentially a highly precise illumination source. These applications typically operate at lower powers, so as not to alter the physical property of this acquisition have been reflectedthe target material.
Lasers can produce the lasing action in the selected financial informationform of a gas, liquid, semiconductor, solid state crystal or fiber. Lasers can also be classified by their output wavelength: ultraviolet, visible, infrared or wavelength tunable. Legacy Coherent manufactures all of these laser types, in various options such as continuous wave, pulse duration, output power, and beam dimensions. Each application has its own specific requirements in terms of laser performance.
Legacy Coherent's key laser applications include: semiconductor wafer inspection; manufacturing of advanced printed circuit boards; flat panel display manufacturing; metal cutting and welding, including welding of electric vehicle batteries; manufacturing of medical devices; marking; medical; bio-instrumentation and imaging; and research and development. For example, UV lasers are enabling the Company’s II-VI Laser Solutions segment sincecontinuous move towards miniaturization, which drives innovation and growth in many markets. In addition, the dateadvent of acquisition.

Executive Summary

Net earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2017 were $9.6 million ($0.15 per-share diluted), compared to $23.9 million ($0.37 per-share diluted) for the same period last fiscal year. Net earnings for the six months ended December 31, 2017 were $30.7 million ($0.47 per share diluted), compared to $40.2 million ($0.63 per share diluted) for the six months ended December 31, 2016.

During December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law by the President of the United States. The Tax Act imposes a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The impact of the repatriation tax is expected to be offset by available net operating loss and credit carryforwards which currently have valuation allowances. Thus the tax expense reported is reduced by the release of the valuation allowances on U.S. deferred tax assets.  The reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate caused us to adjust our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower federal base rate of 21%. In addition, the Company has recorded withholding taxes on planned repatriation due to the change to a territorial tax system.  These transitional impacts resulted in a provisional net charge of $15.8 million ($0.24 per-share diluted), for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2017.  

Exclusive of the impact from the Tax Act, net earnings were favorably impacted by the incremental revenues recognized for both the current three and six month periods due to increased demand from customers in the industrial material, communication, integrated circuits, semiconductor capital equipment and RF and power generation markets.  The financial results include the acquisitions of IPI and II-VI Compound Semiconductor Ltd. for the current fiscal periods.  These two acquisitions contributed $5.9 million and $11.9 million in revenues, respectively, and $1.5 million and $4.8 million in net losses, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017. The net losses for these acquisitions were at the II-VI Compound Semiconductor Ltd. business as the Company continues to invest in new material technology platforms to address the anticipated growing consumer electronics markets.

Segment Reporting

Revenues and operating income for the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. Operating income differs from net earnings in that operating income excludes certain operational expenses included in other expense (income) – net as reported. Management believes operating income to be a useful measure for investors, as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control and is used by management in its evaluation of segment performance. See “Note 10.Note 13. Segment Reporting, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the Company’s reportable segments and for the reconciliation of the Company’s operating income to net earnings, which is incorporated herein by reference.

During the current fiscal year, the Company completed its offering and sale of $345 millionterm loan A credit facility (the “Term A Facility”), with an aggregate principal amount of convertible notes.  In addition, the Company borrowed $100$850 million, on its revolvinga term loan B credit facility to fund its investments in capital expenditures(the “Term B Facility” and, its investments in technology platforms. The net proceeds fromtogether with the convertible debt offering was used to repay $252 million onTerm A Facility, the revolver, $10 million on the term loan, and $10.1 million of debt issuance costs and to repurchase $49.9 million of Common Stock. The Company also realized $6.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options offset by $3.6 million on payments in satisfaction of employees’ minimum tax obligations.


0.25% Convertible Senior Notes

On August 24, 2017, the Company entered into a purchase agreement“Term Facilities”), with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), to issue and sell $300 millionan aggregate principal amount of our 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2022 (the "Notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, we granted the Initial Purchasers a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $45$2,800 million, aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Over-Allotment Option”).

On August 29, 2017, the Initial Purchasers exercised their Over-Allotment Option to purchase the entire $45 million in aggregate principal amount of additional Notes. The Notes mature on September 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased by the Company or converted by holders in accordance with the terms of the Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2018.

The sale of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers settled on August 29, 2017, and resulted in approximately $336 million in net proceeds to the Company after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and the estimated offering expenses. The net proceeds from the offering and sale of the Notes were used, in part, to repurchase approximately $49.9 million of our Common Stock.  The Company used the remaining net proceeds to repay $252 million on its revolving credit facility and to pay debt issuance costs of $10.1 million.

The Notes are governed by an Indenture between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; equal in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up, our assets that secure secured debt will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all indebtedness under such secured debt has been repaid in full from such assets. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock, at the Company’s election.

As a result of our cash conversion option, the Company separately accounted for the value of the embedded conversion option as a debt discount. The value of the embedded conversion option was determined based on the estimated fair value of the debt without the conversion feature, which was determined using an expected present value technique (income approach) to estimate the fair value of similar nonconvertible debt; the debt discount is being amortized as additional non-cash interest expense over the term of the Notes using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 4.5% per annum.

The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The initial conversion rate is 21.25 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $47.06 per share of Common Stock. Throughout the term of the Notes, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events.

Holders of the Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a note. Accrued but unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding June 1, 2022, the Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of at least one of the conditions as follows:

a)

During any fiscal quarter beginning after the fiscal quarter ended on December 31, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

b)

During the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

c)

Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events


On or after June 1, 2022 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

As of December 31, 2017, the Notes are not yet convertible. In accounting for the transaction costs related to the Note issuance, the Company allocated the total amount of offering costs incurred to the debt and equity components based on their relative values. Offering costs attributable to the debt component, totaling $8.4 million, are being amortized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the Notes, and offering costs attributable to the equity component, totaling $1.7 million, were recorded within stockholders' equity.

The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Notes for the three months ended December 31, 2017:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISKS

The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changesCompany’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal coursePart I, Item 1 of business, the Company uses a variety of techniques and derivative financial instruments as part of its overall risk management strategy, which is primarily focusedthis Quarterly Report on its exposure in relation to the Japanese Yen, Chinese Renminbi, and the Euro. No significant changes have occurred in the techniques and instruments used other than those described below.

Foreign Exchange Risks

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with its financial institutions. The purpose of these contracts is to hedge ordinary business risks regarding foreign currencies on product sales. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency rates.

Japanese Yen

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts that permit it to sell specified amounts of Japanese Yen expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. The forward contracts are denominated in the same foreign currencies in which export sales are denominated. These contracts provide the Company with an economic hedge in which settlement will occur in future periods, thereby limiting the Company’s exposure. These contracts had a total notional amount of $14.7 million and $12.7 million at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

A 10% change in the Yen to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have changed revenues in the range from a decrease of $2.0 million to an increase of $2.4 millionForm 10-Q for the six months ended Decemberentire period from July 1, 2022 to March 31, 2017.

Chinese Renminbi

The Company enters into month-to-month forward contracts at varying amounts maturing monthly to limit exposure to the Chinese Renminbi. The Company has recorded $1.7 million of unrealized foreign currency gains in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to these contracts for the six months ended December 31, 2017.


Euro

The Company enters into month-to-month forward contracts at varying amounts maturing monthly to limit exposure to the Euro. The Company has recorded $0.6 million of unrealized foreign currency gains in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to these contracts for the six months ended December 31, 2017.

The Company has short-term intercompany notes that are denominated in U.S. dollars with one2023 and represented 60% of the Company’s European subsidiaries. A 10% change in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate would have changed net earnings in the range from a decreaseconsolidated total assets as of $0.8 million to an increase of $1.0 million for the six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2017.

The Company monitors its positions2023 and the credit ratings29% of the parties to these contracts. While the Company may be exposed to potential losses due to risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to these financial instruments, it does not currently anticipate such losses.

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rate, while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates for the reporting period.

As such, the Company is exposed to market risks arising from changes in interest rates.

Table of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls’ stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Part II – Other Information

Item 1.

Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved from time to time in various claims, lawsuits, and regulatory proceedings incidental to its business. The resolution of each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. Management believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that the ultimate liabilities, if any, resulting from these legal and regulatory proceedings will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Item 1A.

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017,2022, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Those risk factors are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. Except as set forth below, we believe there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.

U.S. Federal income tax reform could adversely affect us.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act significantly revises the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering U. S. corporate income tax rates and implementing a territorial tax system. The changes included in the Tax Act are broad and complex. The final transition impacts

Table of the Tax Act may differ from the Company’s current estimates, possibly materially, due to, among other things, changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, any changes in accounting standards for income taxes or related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the transition impacts, including impacts from changes to current year earnings estimates and foreign exchange rates of foreign subsidiaries. The Securities Exchange Commission has issued rules that allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. We currently anticipate finalizing and recording any resulting adjustments by the end of our quarter ending December 31, 2018. The full impact of the Tax Act on the Company in any particular future period cannot be predicted at this time.
