CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The terms the “Company,” “Bel,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used in this report refer to Bel Fuse Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise specified.

The Company’s consolidated operating results are affected by a wide variety of factors that could materially and adversely affect revenues and profitability, including the risk factors described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (our “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), and the risks and other factors described in this and our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in our other reports and documents that we have filed or may file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As a result of these and other factors, the Company may experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis, which could materially and adversely affect its business, consolidated financial condition, operating results, and common stock prices. Furthermore, this document and other reports and documents filed by the Company with the SEC contain certain forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 ("Forward-Looking Statements") with respect to the business of the Company. Forward-Looking Statements are necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. Forward-Looking Statements can be identified by such words as "anticipates," "believes," "plan," "assumes," "could," "should," "estimates," "forecasts," "projects," "expects," "intends," "potential," "seek," "predict," "may," "will" and similar references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this report regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are Forward-Looking Statements.

These Forward-Looking Statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in Item 1A of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the risks and other factors described in this and our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in our other reports and documents that we have filed or may file from time to time with the SEC, which could cause actual results to differ materially from these Forward-Looking Statements. Any Forward-Looking Statements are qualified in the entirety by reference to such risk factors discussed throughout our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in this and our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and as described in our other reports and documents filed from time to time with the SEC. Some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the Forward-Looking Statements include but are not limited to:

●

the market concerns facing our customers, and risks for the Company’s business in the event of the loss of certain substantial customers;

●

the continuing viability of sectors that rely on our products;

●

the effects of business and economic conditions, and challenges impacting the macroeconomic environment generally and/or our industry in particular;

●

the effects of rising input costs, and cost changes generally, including the potential impact and effects of inflationary pressures;

●

difficulties associated with integrating acquired companies;

●

capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, including supply chain constraints or other challenges;

●

the impact of public health crises (such as the governmental, social and economic effects of COVID or other future epidemics or pandemics);

●

difficulties associated with the availability of labor, and the risks of any labor unrest or labor shortages;

●

risks associated with our international operations, including our substantial manufacturing operations in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”);

●

risks associated with restructuring programs or other strategic initiatives, including any difficulties in implementation or realization of the expected benefits or cost savings;

●

product development, commercialization or technological difficulties;

●

the regulatory and trade environment, including the potential effects of trade restrictions that may impact Bel, its customers and/or its suppliers;

●

risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;

●

uncertainties associated with legal proceedings;

●

the market's acceptance of the Company's new products and competitive responses to those new products; and

●

the impact of changes to U.S. and applicable foreign legal and regulatory requirements, including tax laws, trade and tariff policies.

The foregoing list sets forth some, but not all, of the factors that could affect our ability to achieve results described in any Forward-Looking Statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the date of the document incorporated by reference into this report. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation and expressly disclaim any duty to publicly release the results of any revisions to these Forward-Looking Statements or otherwise update any Forward-Looking Statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any Forward-Looking Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any Forward-Looking Statement made by the Company is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. All Forward-Looking Statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section.

BEL FUSE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Bel Fuse Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations, including the interim reporting requirements, of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2024, except as discussed in “Recently Adopted Accounting Standards” below and as follows:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments

Cash equivalents include short-term investments in money market funds and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. Accounts at each U.S. institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. Substantially all of our U.S. cash and cash equivalents balances are in excess of the FDIC insured limit. The Company periodically invests its excess cash in money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions.

The Company has held to maturity securities comprised of U.S. Treasury Bills. These investments are classified as held to maturity as the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until they mature. The held to maturity securities mature within the next 12 months. The table below shows the amortized costs, associated gross unrealized gains and associated fair value of the held to maturity securities at June 30, 2024:

		Amortized Cost				Gross Unrealized Gain				Fair Value
Held to maturity U.S. Treasury securities		$	58,822			$	384			$	59,206

In determining the fair value of the Company's held to maturity U.S. Treasury securities, the Company utilized Level 1 inputs of the market price for comparable securities as of June 30, 2024.

Investments

We account for non-marketable investments using the equity method of accounting if the investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control, of an investee. Significant influence generally exists if we have an ownership interest representing between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, in the consolidated statements of operations, reflects our proportionate share of the investee's net income, including any associated affiliate taxes. Our proportionate share of the investee’s other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, is recorded in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In general, the equity investment in our unconsolidated affiliates is equal to our original equity investment plus our share of those entities' undistributed earnings subsequent to our investment.

We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of an investment may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value. When evidence of loss in value has occurred, management compares the estimated fair value of the investment to the carrying value of the investment to determine whether an impairment has occurred. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and management considers the decline in value to be other than temporary, the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value is recognized in the financial statements as an impairment. See Note 2, "Investment in Innolectric", below, for our discussion on specific equity method investments.

Where we are unable to exercise significant influence over the investee, or when our investment balance is reduced to zero from our proportionate share of losses, the investments are accounted for under the cost method. Under the cost method, investments are carried at cost and adjusted only for other-than-temporary declines in fair value, distributions of earnings, additional investments, or in the case of an observable price change in an orderly transaction for an identical security.

All amounts included in the tables to these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, except per share amounts, are in thousands.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional guidance on contract modifications and hedging accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which refined the scope of Topic 848 and clarified some of its guidance as part of the FASB’s monitoring of global reference rate activities. This updated guidance was effective upon issuance, and the Company was initially allowed to elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the date by which companies could elect to apply the amendments to December 31, 2024. During January 2023, the Company amended its credit agreement and related interest rate swap agreements to transition the reference rate from LIBOR to a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") effective January 31, 2023. In connection with these amendments, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04 in the first quarter of 2023 and elected to apply the relevant practical expedients within the guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), as amended. The new guidance broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimates related to its financial instruments and adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires a public business entity (PBE) to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. For PBEs, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments in this ASU prospectively by providing the revised disclosures for the period ending December 31, 2025 and continuing to provide the pre-ASU disclosures for the prior periods, or may apply the amendments retrospectively by providing the revised disclosures for all periods presented. We expect this ASU to only impact our disclosures with no impacts to our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

2.	INVESTMENT IN INNOLECTRIC

On February 1, 2023, the Company closed on a noncontrolling (one-third) investment in Germany-based innolectric AG (“innolectric”) for consideration of €8.0 million (approximately $8.8 million as of the February 2023 closing). Transaction costs associated with the Company's investment in innolectric amounted to $1.3 million and these costs have been recorded as part of the carrying value of the investment. Under the terms of the investment agreement, if innolectric achieves certain EBITDA thresholds within a specified timeframe, the Company would be committed to acquiring the remaining shares of innolectric at that time. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects the fair value as of the February 2023 closing of the initial one-third equity method investment, inclusive of transaction costs, of $11.0 million, and a separate liability of $1.0 million associated with the net fair value of the put and call options related to the remaining shares pursuant to the agreement in the event certain profitability thresholds are met.

This passive investment creates a strategic alliance that is focused on Electric Vehicles (“EV”) on-board power electronics, and in particular next generation fast-charging technology. With no product overlap, this relationship expands the Bel eMobility Power portfolio, further enhancing Bel's competitive position in this emerging field. Our investment in innolectric is accounted for using the equity method and we have determined that the innolectric investment is not a variable interest entity (VIE). Results from this investment have been included in Bel's Power Solutions and Protection segment and amounted to losses of $0.3 million and $0.1 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company adopted a policy to record its share of innolectric's results on a one-month lag on a consistent basis to allow time for innolectric to provide its financial statements to Bel.

Related Party Transactions

From time to time, the Company provides cash loans to innolectric to fund working capital needs and further business development. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company provided incremental loans to innolectric in the amount of €0.2 million and €0.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had loans outstanding to innolectric in the aggregate amount of €2.6 million (approximately $2.8 million at the June 30, 2024 exchange rate) and €2.0 million (approximately $2.1 million at the December 31, 2023 exchange rate), respectively. These loans bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum. This balance is shown as a related-party note receivable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

3.	DIVESTITURE OF SUBSIDIARY

On June 1, 2023, the Company completed its divestment of Bel Stewart s.r.o., a former subsidiary in the Czech Republic which has historically been reported within Bel’s Connectivity Solutions segment. The business was sold to PEI Genesis for total consideration of $5.1 million, subject to working capital adjustments. The divestment of this non-core business was a strategic decision which allows the Connectivity Solutions segment to focus on its main product categories serving customer end markets such as commercial air, defense, industrial and networking which better align with Connectivity's long-term growth objectives.

The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities included as part of the sale were as follows:


	Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,072
Accounts receivable		1,030
Inventories		1,310
Property, plant and equipment		326
Other assets		48
Accounts payable		(441	)

Table of Contents

The balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

	*June 30,*		*December 31,*
	*2024*		*2023*

Contract assets - current (unbilled receivables)	$	5,906	$	12,793
Contract liabilities - current (deferred revenue)	$	2,320	$	3,046

The change in balance of our unbilled receivables from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024 primarily relates to a timing difference between the Company’s performance (i.e. when our product is shipped to a customer-controlled hub) and the point at which the Company can invoice the customer per the terms of the customer contract (i.e. when the customer pulls our product from the customer-controlled hub). Our deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 primarily relates to customer prepayments on invoices, which will be recorded as revenue in the period in which the related finished goods are shipped to the customer.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations that have not been fully satisfied as of June 30, 2024 related to contracts that exceed one year in duration amounted to $18.4 million, with expected contract expiration dates that range largely from 2025 – 2026. It is expected that $10.1 million of this aggregate amount will be recognized in 2025, $3.8 million will be recognized in 2026 and the remainder will be recognized in years beyond 2026. The majority of the Company's orders received (but not yet shipped) at June 30, 2024 is related to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less, for which the Company is electing to utilize the practical expedient available within the guidance, and are excluded from the transaction price related to these future obligations. The Company will generally satisfy the remaining performance obligations as we transfer control of the products ordered to our customers.

6.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date. Entities are required to use a fair value hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our available-for-sale securities primarily consisted of investments held in a rabbi trust which are intended to fund the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) obligations. These securities are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) inputs and amounted to $0.8 million at June 30, 2024 and $0.3 million at December 31, 2023.

Throughout 2024 and 2023, the Company entered into a series of foreign currency forward contracts, the fair value of which was ($0.5) million at June 30, 2024 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2023. The estimated fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on quotes received from the applicable counterparty, and represents the estimated amount we would receive or pay to settle the contracts, taking into consideration current exchange rates which can be validated through readily observable data from external sources (Level 2).

The Company is a party to two interest rate swap agreements as further described in Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was $4.0 million at June 30, 2024 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2023, which was based on market data, and represents the estimated amount we would receive or pay to settle the agreements, taking into consideration current and projected future interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the parties, all of which can be validated through readily observable data from external sources.

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments and their classifications in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

	Balance Sheet Classification	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Derivative assets:
Foreign currency forward contracts:
Designated as cash flow hedges	Other current assets	$	-	$	-
Non designated as hedging instruments	Other current assets		-		486

Designated as cash flow hedges	Other current liabilities	$	232	$	5
Not designated as hedging instruments	Other current liabilities		292		-
Total derivative liabilities		$	524	$	5

The Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3, and there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023. There were no changes to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset fair values on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

There were no financial assets accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

The Company has other financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on interest rates that are currently available for debt issuances with similar terms and maturities. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of total debt was $60.0 million at each date, compared to a carrying amount of $60.0 million at each date. The Company did not have any other financial liabilities within the scope of the fair value disclosure requirements as of June 30, 2024.

Nonfinancial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and the net liability related to the put/call options pursuant to the innolectric investment agreement, are accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event or in the case of goodwill, on at least an annual basis. Based on the Company's assessment, it was concluded that no triggering events occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

Other		6,136		8,658
	$	38,916	$	54,657

The change in warranty accrual during the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily related to repair costs incurred and adjustments to pre-existing warranties. There were no new material warranty charges incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Restructuring Activities:

Activity and liability balances related to restructuring costs for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are as follows:

			Six Months Ended
			June 30, 2024
	Liability at				Cash Payments			Liability at
	December 31,		New		and Other			June 30,
	2023		Charges		Settlements			2024
Severance costs	$	1,551	$	703	$	(2,045	)	$	209
Other restructuring costs		3,947		-		(102	)		3,845
Total	$	5,498	$	703	$	(2,147	)	$	4,054

The new charges and ending liability balance noted above for severance costs largely relate to an initiative within our Connectivity segment related to the transition of certain manufacturing from our Glen Rock, Pennsylvania facility to other existing Bel sites. The balances in other restructuring costs in the table above as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 largely related to remaining liabilities associated with the Company's facility consolidation project in the PRC whereby two of our Magnetic Solutions manufacturing sites were consolidated into a single new site.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Our primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, when deemed appropriate. We enter into these contracts in the normal course of business to mitigate risks and not for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Under our risk management strategy, we periodically use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our short-term exposures to fluctuations in operational cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These cash flow exposures result from portions of our forecasted operating expenses, primarily compensation and related expenses, which are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, most notably the Chinese renminbi and the Mexican peso. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have maturities of no longer than twelve months, although occasionally we will execute a contract that extends beyond twelve months, depending upon the nature of the underlying risk.

We held outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $18.8 million and $25.8 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company's foreign currency forward contracts related to the Chinese renminbi are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and as such, changes in their fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet and are reclassified into the statement of operations within cost of goods sold in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

To partially mitigate risks associated with the variable interest rates on the revolver borrowings under the Company's credit agreement (as defined and described in Note 11, "Debt", below), in November 2021, we executed a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with each of two multinational financial institutions under which we, prior to the January 2023 amendment described below which transitioned the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR, (i) paid interest at a fixed rate of 1.3055% and received variable interest of one-month LIBOR on a notional amount of $30.0 million and (ii) paid interest at a fixed rate of 1.3180% and received variable interest of one-month LIBOR on a notional amount of $30.0 million (as amended to date, the “2021 Swaps”). The effective date of the 2021 Swaps was December 31, 2021, and settlements with the counterparties began on January 31, 2022 and occur on a monthly basis. The 2021 Swaps will terminate on August 31, 2026. In January 2023, and in connection with related changes to its credit agreement, the Company amended the 2021 Swaps to transition the related reference rates in these agreements from LIBOR to SOFR, effective January 31, 2023. Under the amended 2021 Swaps, the Company is required to pay interest on the notional amount at the rate of 1.334% and 1.348%, respectively, in exchange for the daily SOFR rate plus 10 basis points.

The 2021 Swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and as such, changes in their fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet and are reclassified into the statement of operations within interest expense in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Fair Values of Derivative Financial Instruments

See Note 6, "Fair Value Measurements" for the gross fair values of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

DEBT

The Company has a Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association (as amended, the "credit agreement" or the "CSA"). The CSA provides a $175 million 5-year senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), with a sublimit of up to $10 million available for letters of credit and a sublimit of up to $5 million available for swing line loans. Revolving loans borrowed under the CSA mature on September 1, 2026. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the revolver amounted to $60 million at each date. The unused credit available under the credit facility was $115 million at each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company incurred $0.4 million and $0.9 million of interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, in connection with interest due on its outstanding borrowings under the CSA during each period, including the effects of the 2021 Swaps and amortization of deferred financing costs. During January 2023, the Company amended its CSA and related 2021 Swaps to transition the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR effective January 31, 2023.

The interest rate in effect at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was 2.47% at each date. Our full debt balance at each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was covered by the 2021 Swaps, as further described in Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". No outstanding borrowings were subject to a variable interest rate at June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. In addition, the credit agreement contains financial covenants that measure (i) the ratio of the Company’s total funded indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, less the aggregate amount of all unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, to the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio”) and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated fixed charges (“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the credit agreement would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

At June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including its most restrictive covenant, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

12.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's estimated taxable income in future periods is not on a legal entity basis and therefore income tax expense for the interim period is not measured using the annual effective tax rate ("AETR") method. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020 and for state examinations before 2017. Regarding foreign subsidiaries, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2013 in Asia and generally 2015 in Europe.

As a result of the expiration of the statutes of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change materially from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2024. The Company’s liabilities for uncertain tax positions totaled $18.0 million at June 30, 2024 and $19.8 million at December 31, 2023, of which $2.7 million was resolved during the six months ended June 30, 2024 by way of expiration of the related statute of limitations. These remaining amounts, if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.3 million, in each period, of interest and penalties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has approximately $1.1 million and $2.0 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in liability for uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13.

RETIREMENT, SAVINGS AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company maintains the Bel Fuse Inc. Employees’ Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan that is intended to meet the applicable requirements for tax-qualification under sections 401(a) and (k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $0.3 million in each period. The expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The Company’s matching contribution is made in the form of Bel Fuse Inc. Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2024, the plan owned 271,013and 59,080 shares of Bel Fuse Inc. Class A and Class B common stock, respectively.

The Company also maintains a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DCP"). With certain exceptions, the Company's contributions to the DCP are discretionary and become fully vested by the participants upon reaching age 65. The expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to less than $0.1 million during each period. The expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $0.1 million during each period. As the plan is fully funded, the assets and liabilities related to the DCP were in equal amounts of $1.2 million at June 30, 2024 and $1.0 million at December 31, 2023. These amounts are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of each date.

The Company's subsidiaries in Asia have a retirement fund covering substantially all of their Hong Kong based full-time employees. The expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The Company maintains a SERP, which is designed to provide a limited group of key management and other key employees of the Company with supplemental retirement and death benefits. As discussed in Note 6 above, the Company has investments in a rabbi trust which are intended to fund the obligations of the SERP.

The components of SERP expense are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Service cost	$	99	$	92	$	198	$	185

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to a number of legal actions and claims, none of which individually or in the aggregate, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

On June 23, 2021, a patent infringement lawsuit styled Bel Power Solutions, Inc. v. Monolithic Power Systems, Inc., Case Number 6:21cv00655, was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Waco Division) by Bel Power Solutions, Inc. against Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. ("MPS") for infringement of various patents directed towards systems, methods and articles of manufacture that provide a substantial improvement in power control for circuits, including novel and unique point-of-load regulators. On July 27, 2023, the Western District of Texas court filed an Order granting MPS’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. The Court’s memorandum and opinion is forthcoming. The Company is evaluating its options for appeal.

In connection with the Company's 2014 acquisition of the Power-One Power Solutions business ("Power Solutions") of ABB Ltd., there is an ongoing claim by the Arezzo Revenue Agency in Italy concerning certain tax matters related to what was then Power-One Asia Pacific Electronics Shenzhen Co. Ltd. (now Bel Power Solutions Asia Pacific Electronics Shenzhen Co. Ltd, or “BPS China”) for the years 2004 to 2006. In September 2012, the Tax Court of Arezzo ruled in favor of BPS China and cancelled the claim. In February 2013, the Arezzo Revenue Agency filed an appeal of the Tax Court’s ruling. The hearing of the appeal was held on October 2, 2014. On October 13, 2014, BPS China was informed of the Regional Tax Commission of Florence ruling which was in favor of the Arezzo Revenue Agency and against BPS China. An appeal was filed on July 18, 2015 before the Regional Tax Commission of Florence and rejected. On December 5, 2016, the Arezzo Revenue Agency filed an appeal with the Supreme Court and BPS China filed a counter-appeal on January 4, 2017. The Supreme Court rendered a judgment against BPS China in March 2024. BPS China filed an appeal in July 2024. The estimated liability related to this matter is approximately $12.0 million and has been included as a liability for uncertain tax positions on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As Bel is entitled to be fully indemnified in this matter per the terms of the stock purchase agreement with ABB, a corresponding other asset for indemnification is also included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

In connection with the Company's 2021 acquisition of EOS Power ("EOS"), there is an ongoing claim asserted with respect to EOS by the Principal Commissioner of Customs (Preventive), Mumbai related to customs duties and imposed fines and penalties dating back to 1994. The original demand was in the amount of approximately$1.4 million, of which EOS has paid $0.5 million. EOS filed an Appeal in 2016 which is pending with the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal in Mumbai related to the $0.9 million balance of the original demand net of EOS' payment. As part of the EOS acquisition agreement entered into in March 2021, the Company is entitled to be indemnified for this matter for a period of 7 years from the acquisition date. The Company is unable to determine at this time what amount, if any, may ultimately be due in connection with this claim. As such, no estimate was accrued as of June 30, 2024.

The Company is not a party to any other legal proceeding, the adverse outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or consolidated results of operations.

Overview

Our Company

We design, manufacture and market a broad array of products that power, protect and connect electronic circuits. These products are primarily used in the networking, telecommunications, computing, general industrial, high-speed data transmission, military, commercial aerospace, transportation and eMobility industries. Our portfolio of products also finds application in the automotive, medical and consumer electronics markets.

We operate through three product group segments. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, 45% of our revenues were derived from Power Solutions and Protection, 43% from our Connectivity Solutions and 12% from our Magnetic Solutions operating segment.

Our operating expenses are driven principally by the cost of labor where the factories that we use are located, the cost of the materials that we use and our ability to effectively and efficiently manage overhead costs. As labor and material costs vary by product line and region, any significant shift in product mix can have an associated impact on our costs of sales. Costs are recorded as incurred for all products manufactured. Such amounts are determined based upon the estimated stage of production and include materials, labor cost and fringes and related allocations of factory overhead. Our products are manufactured at various facilities in the United States, Mexico, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom, Slovakia, India and the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

We have little visibility into the ordering habits of our customers and we can be subjected to large and unpredictable variations in demand for our products. Accordingly, we must continually recruit and train new workers to replace those lost to attrition and be able to address peaks in demand that may occur from time to time. These recruiting and training efforts and related inefficiencies, and overtime required in order to meet any increase in demand, can add volatility to the labor costs incurred by us.

Key Factors Affecting our Business

We believe that in addition to recent global inflationary pressures on the costs of goods and services in general, and ongoing conflicts/political unrest including in or near the countries in which Bel operates, the key factors affecting and/or potentially affecting our results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and/or future results include the following:

•

Revenues – Our revenues in the first six months of 2024 were down $79.8 million, or 23.4% as compared to the same period of 2023. The decrease was driven by our Power Solutions and Protection and Magnetics Solutions segments and largely related to lower demand from our networking customers and distribution partners as we believe they continue to work through inventory on hand. These decreases were offset in part by a modest increase in sales at our Connectivity Solutions group, driven by increased sales through our distribution channels and military end markets.

•

Backlog – Our backlog of orders amounted to $304 million at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $69.0 million, or 18%, from December 31, 2023. From year-end 2023 to June 30, 2024, we saw a 30% decrease in the backlog for our Power Solutions and Protection business, a decline in backlog of 11% in our Magnetic Solutions business and a 2% increase in backlog level at our Connectivity Solutions business. Order volumes in general have been lower in recent quarters which we believe to be due in part to our customers' working through inventory on hand.

Table of Contents

•

Product Mix – Material and labor costs vary by product line and any significant shift in product mix between higher- and lower-margin product lines will have a corresponding impact on our gross margin percentage. In general, our Connectivity products have historically had the highest-contribution margins of our three product groups given the harsh environment and high-reliability nature of these products and the end markets they serve. Our Power products have a higher-cost bill of materials and are impacted to a greater extent by changes in material costs. As our Magnetic Solutions products are more labor-intensive in nature, margins on these products are impacted to a greater extent by minimum and market-based wage increases in the PRC and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Chinese Renminbi. Fluctuations in revenue volume among our product groups will have a corresponding impact on our profit margins. See "Results of Operations - Summary by Operating Segment - Revenue and Gross Margin" below for further details.

•

Pricing and Availability of Materials – There has been some stabilization of raw materials pricing since the second half of 2023; however overall our cost of materials remains elevated. Supply constraints have eased related to components that constitute raw materials in our manufacturing processes, particularly with capacitors, resistors and copper. Lead times are still above normal though suppliers are now meeting the agreed delivery deadlines with more regularity. In addition, COVID remains a potential supply continuity risk due to the unknown nature of future outbreaks including potential further variants. Additionally, our access to parts or materials, and our ability to contract with suppliers utilized previously, may be limited or prohibited from time to time by trade restrictions or other legal or regulatory enactments. We anticipate some downward pressure on our Power sales given recently enacted trade restrictions on one of our former suppliers previously utilized for this segment, which had historically supported approximately $3 to $4 million per quarter of our sales into the consumer end market. We are currently evaluating alternative manufacturing options for the components previously supplied by this manufacturer. To the extent our suppliers in the PRC are negatively impacted by new or amended regulations, any such negative implications could adversely impact our supply chain, including in the form of increased costs, disruptions, shortages or unavailability of product or component parts, and/or other deleterious consequences, which could materially adversely affect our business and operating results. The preceding discussion of "Pricing and Availability of Materials" contains Forward-Looking Statements. See "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information."


	•	Labor Costs – Labor costs represented 7.7% of revenue during the first six months of 2024 as compared to 6.6% of revenue during the same period of 2023. The increase in labor costs as a percentage of sales for the first six months of 2024 was largely impacted by the retention of a certain level of direct labor associates within our Magnetic Solutions business to accommodate the anticipated rebound within this segment. In addition, effective January 1, 2024, the statutory minimum wage rate in Mexico was increased by 20%, impacting labor costs at our Reynosa and Cananea, Mexico factories. We estimate the additional cost associated with this increase will be approximately $1.4 million annually. Also effective January 1, 2024, minimum wage increases which went into effect at our factory in Slovakia are expected to result in approximately $0.3 million of higher labor costs at that facility in 2024 as compared to 2023. This and any future increases in minimum wage rates will have an unfavorable impact on Bel's profit margins. The preceding five sentences represent Forward-Looking Statements. See "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

	•	Inflationary Pressures - Inflationary pressures could continue to result in higher input costs, including those related to our raw materials, labor, freight, utilities, healthcare and other expenses. Our future operating results will depend, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings initiatives and sourcing decisions. The preceding two sentences contain Forward-Looking Statements. See "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

•

Restructuring – In late 2023, we initiated a restructuring initiative within our Connectivity segment related to the transition of certain manufacturing from our Glen Rock, Pennsylvania facility to other existing Bel sites (the “Glen Rock initiative”). During the second quarter of 2024, the Company incurred $0.1 million, primarily severance costs, related to this initiative. Also during the second quarter of 2024, the Company incurred $0.5 million of severance costs in connection with headcount reductions within our Magnetics segment, in response to the lower sales volume in recent quarters within that segment. We anticipate annualized cost savings in excess of $1.0 million in connection with the Glen Rock initiative to be realized gradually over the course of fiscal year 2024. The Company will continue to review its operations to optimize the business, which may result in restructuring costs being recognized in future periods. The preceding sentences represent Forward-Looking Statements. See "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

•

Impact of Foreign Currency – As further described below, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, labor and overhead costs were $0.4 million lower than the corresponding 2023 period primarily due to a favorable foreign exchange environment involving the Chinese Renminbi, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations in the Mexican Peso, as compared to the prior year period. We realized foreign exchange transactional gains of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the fluctuation of the spot rates of certain currencies in effect when translating our balance sheet accounts at June 30, 2024 versus those in effect at December 31, 2023. Since we are a U.S. domiciled company, we translate our foreign currency-denominated financial results into U.S. dollars. Due to the changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, translating our financial results and the revaluation of certain intercompany as well as third-party transactions to and from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars may result in a favorable or unfavorable impact to our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. We were favorably impacted by transactional foreign exchange gains in the six months of 2024 due to the depreciation of the Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. dollar, which was partially offset by an appreciation of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. dollar, as compared to exchange rates in effect during 2023. We have significant manufacturing operations located in in the PRC and Mexico where labor and overhead costs are paid in local currency. As a result, the U.S. Dollar equivalent costs of these operations were approximately $0.8 million lower in the PRC, partially offset by higher costs in Mexico of approximately $0.5 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable period in 2023. We monitor changes in foreign currencies and have historically implemented foreign currency forward contracts, and may continue to implement pricing actions to help mitigate the impact that changes in foreign currencies may have on our consolidated operating results. The preceding sentence represents a Forward-Looking Statement. See "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

•

Effective Tax Rate – Our effective tax rate will fluctuate based on the geographic regions in which our pretax profits are earned. Of the geographic regions in which we operate, the U.S. and Europe’s tax rates are generally equivalent; and Asia has the lowest tax rates of our three geographical regions. See Note 12, “Income Taxes”.

Results of Operations - Summary by Operating Segment

Revenue and Gross Margin

Our revenue and gross margin by operating segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended										Six Months Ended
	June 30,										June 30,
	Revenue				Gross Margin						Revenue				Gross Margin
	2024		2023		2024			2023			2024		2023		2024			2023
Power solutions and protection	$	58,551	$	87,091		45.7	%		35.7	%	$	118,798	$	170,272		44.8	%		35.7	%

Power Solutions and Protection:

Sales of our Power Solutions and Protection products were lower by $28.5 million (32.8%) and $51.5 million (30.3%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023. The decrease resulted primarily from a decline in sales of our power products into networking applications of $15.8 million (46.3%) during the second quarter of 2024 and $33.2 million (47.8%) during the first six months of 2024 as compared to the same periods of 2023. Sales of our CUI products were down by $6.3 million (43.1%) and $11.1 million (38.1%) during the three and six months that ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2024. Sales of products into the eMobility end market decreased by $4.5 million and $5.7 million, and our circuit protection products declined by $1.2 million and $2.1 million during the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the corresponding periods of 2023. Further, raw material expedite fee revenue for our Power segment declined by $5.7 million and $13.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023. These areas of decline were partially offset by a $3.2 million and $6.5 million increase in sales of our rail products during the second quarter and first half of 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023.

Our gross margin for the Power segment improved in the 2024 periods presented compared to those from the same periods of 2023 despite the challenge of a lower sales volume. This improvement resulted from our strategic pricing actions, favorable exchange rates with the Chinese Renminbi versus the U.S. dollar, a lower volume of low-margin expedite fees, and a favorable shift in product mix.

Connectivity Solutions:

Sales of our Connectivity Solutions products increased by $3.0 million (5.4%) and $3.9 million (3.6%) during the three and six months ended June 30,2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023. This increase was primarily due to increased volume of Connectivity Solutions products sold through our distribution channels during the second quarter of 2024, providing incremental growth of $2.5 million (13.4%) during the second quarter and $3.1 million (8.0%) during the first quarter of 2024, as compared to the same periods of 2023. Sales of Connectivity products into the military end market also grew by $0.2 million (2.0%) and $0.6 million (2.6%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023. Gross margins for the 2024 periods presented above were favorably impacted by pricing actions on certain contract renewals and operational efficiencies from the facility consolidations completed in 2023, partially offset by higher wage rates in Mexico and an unfavorable fluctuation in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Mexican peso in the 2024 periods as compared to the 2023 periods presented.

Magnetic Solutions:

Sales of our Magnetic Solutions products declined by $10 million (37.3%) and $32.2 million (51.5%) during the three and six months ended June 30,2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023. Reduced demand for our Magnetic Solutions products from our networking customers and through our distribution channels has been the primary driver of the lower demand as we believe by these customers continue to work through inventory on hand. The lower sales volume, partially offset by favorable exchange rates with the Chinese Renminbi versus the U.S. dollar, were the primary drivers of gross margin reduction for this product group during the first half of 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Material costs		27.8	%		41.3	%		28.0	%		42.4	%
Labor costs		7.7	%		6.4	%		7.9	%		6.6	%
Support Labor & Fringe		11.4	%		10.1	%		11.6	%		10.0	%
Other expenses		13.0	%		9.3	%		13.7	%		9.0	%
Total cost of sales		59.9	%		67.1	%		61.2	%		68.0	%

Material costs as a percentage of sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were lower compared to the same periods of 2023, due to the stabilization of raw material pricing, shorter lead times, a shift in product mix and better procurement efforts. Labor costs in the 2024 periods as a percentage of sales have increased compared to the each of second quarter and first half of 2023 due lower sales volume, a shift in product mix, an unfavorable fluctuation of the Mexican Peso exchange rate versus the U.S. Dollar in 2024 compared to the previous year, and the increase in statutory minimum wage rate in Mexico. This increase in labor cost was partially offset by lower labor costs in China due to the favorable fluctuation in the Chinese Renminbi exchange rate versus the U.S. Dollar.

The other expenses noted in the table above include fixed cost items such as support labor and fringe, depreciation and amortization, and facility costs (rent, utilities, insurance). The percentage of other expenses as a cost of sales has increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the lower sales volume in the 2024 periods presented as compared to the same periods of 2023.

Table of Contents

Research and Development ("R&D") Expense

R&D expense amounted to $6.0 million for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and $11.2 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense (“SG&A”)

SG&A expenses were $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, down from $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. This decrease in SG&A was largely the result of a $1.2 million decline in legal and professional fees, as the second quarter of 2023 included costs associated with the MPS patent infringement lawsuit further described in Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies", which did not recur in the second quarter of 2024. Commissions were also lower by $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to the lower sales base in the 2024 period. These declines were largely offset by higher salaries and fringe benefits of $1.2 million and an increase of $0.3 million in a variety of other expenses, including amortization, advertising and travel.

SG&A expenses were $49.1 million for the first half of 2024, down from $50.4 million in the first half of 2023. This decrease in SG&A was largely the result of a $2.4 million decline in legal and professional fees, largely due to costs associated with the aforementioned MPS patent infringement lawsuit, which did not recur in the first half of 2024. Commissions were also lower by $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30 2024, as compared to the same period of 2023 due to the lower sales base in the 2024 period. These declines were largely offset by higher salaries and fringe benefits of $2.1 million and an increase of $0.7 million in a variety of other expenses, including amortization, advertising and travel.

Other (Expense)/Income, Net

Other (expense)/income, net was $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The year-over-year change within this line item was largely driven by the market fluctuations in our SERP investments which resulted in a gain of $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company also recorded losses of $0.3 million and $0.4 million associated with its investment in innolectric during the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. We also realized foreign exchange transactional loss of $0.3 million during each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 due to the fluctuation of the spot rates of certain currencies in effect when translating our balance sheet accounts at June 30, versus those in effect at March 31, each year.

Other (expense)/income, net was $1.3 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The year-over-year change within this line item was largely driven by the market fluctuations in our SERP investments which resulted in a gain of $0.8 million during each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company also recorded $0.1 million of loss associated with its investment in innolectric during the first half of 2024. We also realized foreign exchange transactional gains of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the fluctuation of the spot rates of certain currencies in effect when translating our balance sheet accounts at June 30, 2024 versus those in effect at December 31, 2023. This compares to foreign exchange transactional losses of $0.5 million recorded during the first half of 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate will fluctuate based on the geographic regions in which the pretax profits are earned. Of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, the U.S. and Europe’s tax rates are generally equivalent; and Asia has the lowest tax rates of the Company’s three geographic regions. See Note 12, “Income Taxes”.

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $4.1 million and ($0.5) million, respectively. The Company’s earnings before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were $4.4 million lower when compared with the same period in 2023, primarily attributable to a decrease in income from the North America and Asia regions, partially offset by an increase in the Europe region. The Company’s effective tax rate was 17.8% and (1.8%) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily attributable to an increase in tax expense relating to valuation allowances and prior period accruals as well as a decrease in the tax benefit relating to the reversal of uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of certain statute of limitations. See Note 12, “Income Taxes”.

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $8.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively. The Company’s earnings before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024, were $2.8 million lower when compared with the same period in 2023, primarily attributable to decrease in income from the North America and Asia regions, partially offset by an increase in the Europe region. The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.8% and 8.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily attributable to an increase in tax expense relating to valuation allowances and prior period accruals as well as a decrease in the tax benefit relating to the reversal of uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of certain statute of limitations. See Note 12, “Income Taxes”.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity include $85.0 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024, $58.8 million of held to maturity investments in U.S. Treasury securities, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings available under our credit facility. We expect to use this liquidity for operating expenses, investments in working capital, capital expenditures, interest, taxes, dividends, purchases of common stock under our Repurchase Program, and debt obligations and other long-term liabilities. Our liquidity may also be utilized to fund potential acquisitions in future periods. We believe that our current liquidity position and future cash flows from operations will enable us to fund our operations, both in the next twelve months and in the longer term.

Table of Contents

Cash Flow Summary

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to the following:

	•	net cash provided by operating activities of $38.3 million; and
	•	proceeds from held to maturity securities of $101 million; offset by:
	•	purchases of held to maturity and marketable securities of $122.3 million;
	•	purchases of common stock under our Repurchase Program of $14.2 million;
	•	purchases of property, plant and equipment of $4.3 million; and
	•	dividend payments of $1.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our accounts receivable decreased by $2.8 million due to lower sales volume in the second quarter. Days sales outstanding (DSO) was 55 days at each of June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023. Inventory decreased by $8.0 million at June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, as component availability has started to ease and we have worked to consume our inventory on hand. Inventory turns were 2.8 at June 30, 2024 as compared to 3.1 at December 31, 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents, held to maturity U.S. Treasury securities and accounts receivable comprised approximately 39.6% and 36.9% of our total assets at each of June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023. Our current ratio (i.e., the ratio of current assets to current liabilities) was4.2 to 1 at June 30, 2024 and 3.4 to 1 at December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $41.4 million and $40.9 million, respectively (or 49% and 46%, respectively), of our cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We repatriated $11 million from outside of the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2024. We continue to analyze our global working capital and cash requirements and the potential tax liabilities attributable to further repatriation, and we have yet to make any further determination regarding repatriation of funds from outside the U.S. to fund our U.S. operations in the future. In the event these funds were needed for our U.S. operations, we would be required to accrue and pay U.S. state taxes and any applicable foreign withholding taxes to repatriate these funds.

Future Cash Requirements

We expect foreseeable liquidity and capital resource requirements in the ordinary course to be met through existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations, as well as borrowings available under our revolving credit facility, if needed. Our material cash requirements arising in the normal course of business are outlined in Item 7A, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There were no material changes to our future cash requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Credit Facility

In September 2021, we entered into the CSA, as further described in Note 11, "Debt". During January 2023, we amended our CSA and related interest rate swap agreements to transition the reference rate from LIBOR to a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") effective January 31, 2023. The CSA contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. In addition, the CSA contains financial covenants that measure (i) the ratio of our total funded indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, less the aggregate amount of all unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, to the amount of our consolidated EBITDA (“Leverage Ratio”) and (ii) the ratio of the amount of our consolidated EBITDA to our consolidated fixed charges (“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the CSA would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. At June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with our debt covenants, including the most restrictive covenant, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The unused credit available under the credit facility at June 30, 2024 was $115.0 million, all of which we had the ability to borrow without violating our Leverage Ratio covenant based on our existing consolidated EBITDA.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include certain amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, including in some cases future projections, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Different assumptions and judgments could change the estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.

Based on the above, we have determined that our most critical accounting estimates are those related to business combinations, inventory valuation, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, and those related to our pension benefit obligations. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates, refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, including assumptions or estimation techniques utilized, as compared to those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The discussion of new financial accounting standards applicable to our Company is incorporated herein by reference to Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies”.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates associated with its long-term debt. Under the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company periodically uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its short-term exposures to fluctuations in operational cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To partially mitigate risks associated with the variable interest rates on revolver borrowings under the Company's credit agreement (see Note 11, “Debt”, to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein, and Note 11, “Debt”, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023), the Company maintains two pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements with two multinational financial institutions (see Note 10, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein, and Note 13, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023). The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, when deemed appropriate. The Company enters into these contracts in the normal course of business to mitigate risks and not for speculative purposes. There have not been any material changes with regard to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to Item 7A, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further discussion of market risks.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures: As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s 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 report.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting: There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information called for by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies" of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, under “Legal Proceedings”, as set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are also involved in various other legal actions incidental to our business. We believe, after consulting with counsel, that the disposition of these other legal proceedings and matters will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 should be carefully considered before making an investment decision. These are the risk factors that we consider to be the most significant risk factors, but they are not the only risk factors that should be considered in making an investment decision. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains Forward-Looking Statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See the "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information," above. Our business, consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of the risk factors described, under "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information" or with respect to specific Forward-Looking Statements presented herein. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and investors in our securities may lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business in the future. Except as required by the federal securities law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any risk factor, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

(1) On February 21, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and the Company publicly announced a $25.0 million share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program authorizes the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of shares of outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The aggregate $25.0 million available for repurchases under the Repurchase Program has been suballocated for purchases of Class A shares and Class B shares in portions of $4.0 million and $21.0 million, respectively, prorated to take into account the number of outstanding shares of each respective class. Shares of Common Stock may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program in open market, privately negotiated or block transactions or otherwise from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and the Repurchase Program may be suspended or terminated at any time.
