Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on product sales in the period in which the Company satisfies its performance obligation and control of the product is transferred to the customer. The Company’s sales arrangements with customers are predominately short term in nature and generally provide for transfer of control at the time of shipment as this is the point at which title and risk of loss of the product transfers to the customer. At the end of each period, for those shipments where title to the products and the risk of loss and rewards of ownership do not transfer until the product has been received by the customer, the Company adjusts revenues and cost of sales for the delay between the time that the products are shipped and when they are received by the customer. The amount of revenue recorded reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods and may include adjustments for customer allowance, rebates and price adjustments. The Company’s distribution channels are primarily through direct sales and independent third-party distributors.

The Company elected the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.

Revenue and Billing

The Company generally accepts orders from customers through receipt of purchase orders or electronic data interchange based on written sales agreements and purchasing contracts. Contract pricing and selling agreement terms are based on market factors, costs, and competition. Pricing is often negotiated as an adjustment (premium or discount) from the Company’s published price lists. The customer is invoiced when the Company’s products are shipped to them in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company also elected the practical expedient provided in ASC 606-10-25-18B to treat all product shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and therefore recognize the gross revenue associated with the contract, inclusive of any shipping and handling revenue.

Ship and Debit Program

Some of the terms of the Company’s sales agreements and normal business conditions provide customers (distributors) the ability to receive price adjustments on products previously shipped and invoiced. This practice is common in the industry and is referred to as a “ship and debit” program. This program allows the distributor to debit the Company for the difference between the distributors’ contracted price and a lower price for specific transactions. Under certain circumstances (usually in a competitive situation or large volume opportunity), a distributor will request authorization for pricing allowances to reduce its price. When the Company approves such a reduction, the distributor is authorized to “debit” its account for the difference between the contracted price and the lower approved price. The Company establishes reserves for this program based on historic activity, electronic distributor inventory levels and actual authorizations for the debit and recognizes these debits as a reduction of revenue.

Return to Stock

Table of Contents

~~Return to Stock~~

The Company has a return to stock policy whereby certain customers, with prior authorization from Littelfuse management, can return previously purchased goods for full or partial credit. The Company establishes an estimated allowance for these returns based on historic activity. Sales revenue and cost of sales are reduced to anticipate estimated returns.

Volume Rebates

The Company offers volume based sales incentives to certain customers to encourage greater product sales. If customers achieve their specific quarterly or annual sales targets, they are entitled to rebates. The Company estimates the projected amount of rebates that will be achieved by the customer and recognizes this estimated cost as a reduction to revenue as products are sold.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at ~~June 26, 2021~~April 2, 2022 and ~~December 26, 2020~~January 1, 2022 reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In ~~December 2019,~~November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(FASB)~~("FASB") issued ~~Accounting Standard Update ("ASU")~~ASU No. ~~2019-12, "Income Taxes~~2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic ~~740) - Simplifying~~832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance". The standard, requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy: 1) Information about the ~~Accounting~~nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for ~~Income Taxes" as part~~the transactions; 2) The line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item; 3) Significant terms and conditions of ~~its initiative to reduce complexity in~~ the ~~accounting standards.~~transactions, including commitments and contingencies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2020~~2021 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU ~~2019-12~~2021-10 did not have a material impact on ~~our~~the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

RecentlyIssuedAccounting Standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The standard requires an entity (acquirer) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect a material impact from the adoption of this guidance on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Acquisitions

The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” in which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired business are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition.

Carling Technologies

On November 30, 2021, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Carling Technologies, Inc. (“Carling”), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2021. Founded in 1920, Carling has a leading position in switching and circuit protection technologies with a strong global presence in commercial vehicle, marine and datacom/telecom infrastructure markets. At the time of acquisition, Carling had annualized sales of approximately $170 million. The business is headquartered in Plainville, Connecticut, with offices and facilities located around the world and is reported as

Table of Contents

part of the commercial vehicle business within the Company's Transportation segment. The purchase price for Carling Technologies was approximately $315.5 million subject to a working capital adjustment.

The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The total purchase consideration of $313.6 million, net of cash, has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on preliminary estimated fair values. The purchase consideration will be adjusted for an additional $0.5 million associated with the final working capital adjustment, which will be settled in the second quarter of 2022. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to the completion of the valuations of certain property, plant and equipment and acquired income tax assets and liabilities. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as the valuations are finalized.

The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Carling acquisition:


(in thousands)	Purchase Price Allocation
Total purchase consideration:
Cash, net of cash acquired	$	313,583
Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Trade receivables, net	26,129
Inventories	56,657
Other current assets	3,454
Property, plant, and equipment	58,315
Intangible assets	125,890
Goodwill	97,553
Other non-current assets	4,007
Current liabilities	(22,288)
Other non-current liabilities	(36,134)
	$	313,583

All Carling goodwill, other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Transportation segment and are reflected in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic areas. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining Carling’s products and technology with the Company’s existing commercial vehicle products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the Carling acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

During the three months ended April 2, 2022, the Company made adjustments to reduce the fair value of fixed assets of $6.0 million, inventories of $0.8 million, net accounts receivable of $0.6 million and increase in accrued liabilities of $0.5 million. As a result of these adjustments along with a corresponding reduction of deferred tax liabilities of $1.6 million, goodwill was increased by $5.2 million.

As required by purchase accounting rules, the Company recorded a $6.4 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation. The step-up was amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of sales during the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, as the acquired inventory was sold, and reflected as other non-segment costs. The Company recognized a non-cash charge of $4.8 million to cost of sales during the three months ended April 2, 2022.

Hartland Controls

On January 28, 2021, the Company acquired Hartland Controls ("Hartland"), a manufacturer and leading supplier of electrical components used primarily in heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and other industrial and control systems applications with annualized sales of approximately $70 million. The purchase price for Hartland was ~~approximately $112.3~~$111.0 million and the operations of Hartland are included in the Industrial segment.

Table of Contents

The total purchase consideration of ~~$109.9~~$108.5 million, net of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash has been allocated ~~on a preliminary basis,~~ to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on ~~preliminary~~ estimated fair values. The purchase consideration is subject to change for the final working capital adjustments. As of ~~June 26, 2021,~~April 2, 2022, the Company had restricted cash of $1.7 million in an escrow account for general indemnification purposes. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to the completion of the valuation of certain contingent liabilities. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as the valuations are finalized.

~~Table~~ ~~of Contents~~

The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Hartland acquisition:


(in thousands)	Purchase Price Allocation
Total purchase consideration:
Cash, net of cash acquired, and restricted cash	$	~~109,852~~108,516
Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Inventories	35,808

Other non-current liabilities	~~(6,546)~~(5,810)
	$	~~109,852~~108,516

During the three months ended June 26, 2021, the Company recorded a cumulative net measurement period adjustment that increased goodwill by $ 1.5 million and resulted in a decrease to the fair value assigned to trade receivables, inventories and net current liabilities of $1.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The measurement period adjustment was primarily associated with certain contingent liabilities and customer settlements. The Company made these measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

All Hartland goodwill, other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Industrial segment and are primarily reflected in the Americas and Asia-Pacific geographic areas. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining Hartland’s products and technology with the Company’s existing industrial products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the Hartland acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the three and six months ended June 26, 2021 are net sales of approximately $26.4 million and $43.1 million respectively, and a loss before income taxes of $0.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively since the January 28, 2021 acquisition of Hartland.

The Company recorded a $6.8 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition ~~date based on the preliminary valuation.~~date. The step-up was amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of ~~goods sold~~sales during the first and second quarters of 2021, as the acquired inventory was sold, and is reflected as other non-segment costs. During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 26,~~March 27, 2021, the Company recognized a charge of ~~$3.3 million and $6.8~~$3.5 million for the amortization of this fair value inventory step-up.

During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 26,~~March 27, 2021, the Company incurred approximately ~~$0.1 million and $0.8~~$0.7 million of legal and professional fees related to this acquisition recognized as Selling, general, and administrative expenses. These costs were reflected as other non-segment costs.

9. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about valuation based on the best information available in the circumstances. Depending on the inputs, the Company classifies each fair value measurement as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2—Valuations based upon quoted prices for similar instruments, prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations, all of whose significant inputs are observable, and

Level 3—Valuations based upon one or more significant unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds, which are held with an institution with sound credit rating and are highly liquid. The Company classified cash equivalents as Level 1 and are valued at cost which approximates fair value.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the last sales price and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy and recorded in ~~investments~~Investments and ~~other~~Other long-term assets.

~~Other Investments~~

Table of Contents

The Company has certain convertible debt and convertible preferred stock investments that are accounted for under the cost method reflected in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended June 26, 2021, the Company impaired the remaining book value of these investments and recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million in ~~Other (income) expense, net~~ in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income (Loss). As of December 26, 2020, the balances of these investments was $0.5 million. The fair value of these investments are measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Mutual Funds

The Company has a non-qualified Supplemental Retirement and Savings Plan which provides additional retirement benefits for certain management employees and named executive officers by allowing participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation. The Company maintains accounts for participants through which participants make investment elections. The marketable securities are classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy as they are maintained in mutual funds with readily determinable fair value and recorded in ~~other~~Other long-term assets.

There were no changes during the quarter ended ~~June 26, 2021~~April 2, 2022 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis. As of ~~June 26, 2021~~April 2, 2022 and ~~December 26, 2020,~~January 1, 2022, the Company did not hold any non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

In addition to the methods and assumptions used for the financial instruments recorded at fair value as discussed above, the following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments that are not marked to market on a recurring basis. The Company’s other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and its long-term debt. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable approximate their fair values. The Company’s revolving credit facilities’ fair values approximate book value at ~~June 26, 2021~~April 2, 2022 and ~~December 26, 2020,~~January 1, 2022, as the rates on these borrowings are variable in nature.

of the Company’s qualified pension plans, and will be funded with pension plan assets and additional cash on hand. In connection with this transaction, the Company will record a one-time non-cash settlement charge currently estimated between $18 million and $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting the accelerated recognition of unamortized actuarial losses in the plan. The actual amount and timing of the settlement charge could differ from this estimate due to final data and plan wind-up expenses. Due to the signing of the group annuity contract being a significant change in the U.K. pension plan, the liabilities of the plan were remeasured as of April 6, 2020 resulting in an increase of $13.4 million (£10.9 million) to both the net pension liability and unamortized actuarial loss within other comprehensive income (loss) during the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the Company made a cash contribution of $10.4 million (£8.4 million) under this agreement during the second quarter of 2020.

15. Segment Information

The Company and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and sell ~~components~~component, modules and ~~modules empowering a sustainable, connected,~~subassemblies to empower the long-term structural themes of sustainability, connectivity and ~~safer world.~~safety. The Company reports its operations by the following segments: Electronics, ~~Automotive,~~Transportation, and Industrial. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest and taxes, but does not evaluate the operating segments using discrete balance sheet information.

Sales, marketing, and research and development expenses are charged directly into each operating segment. Purchasing, logistics, customer service, finance, information technology, and human resources are shared functions that are allocated back to the 3 operating segments. The Company does not report inter-segment revenue because the operating segments do not record it. Certain expenses, determined by the CODM to be strategic in nature and not directly related to ~~segments'~~segments current results, are not allocated but identified as “Other”. Additionally, the Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, or taxes to operating segments. These costs are not allocated to the segments, as management excludes such costs when assessing the performance of the segments. Although the CODM uses operating income (loss) to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

•Electronics Segment: Consists of one of the broadest product offerings in the industry, including fuses and fuse accessories, positive temperature coefficient (“PTC”) resettable fuses, polymer electrostatic discharge (“ESD”) suppressors, varistors, reed switch based magnetic sensing, gas discharge tubes; semiconductor products such as discrete transient voltage suppressor (“TVS”) diodes, TVS diode arrays, protection and switching thyristors, silicon and silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (“MOSFETs”) and ~~silicon carbide~~ diodes; and insulated gate bipolar transistors (“IGBT”) technologies.

The business is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, with facilities located around the world and will be reported as part of the Electronics-Passive Products and Sensors within the Company's Electronics Segment. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close during the second quarter of 2022. The Company expects to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and debt.

Impact of COVID-19 on Business

The effects from COVID-19 continue to drive ~~increased~~higher ongoing costs ~~though lower than 2020 levels. Ongoing costs include~~including spending on personal protective equipment ("PPE"), additional personnel and employee transportation costs, and manufacturing inefficiencies as well as an increase in ~~freight~~material costs and ~~raw material~~transportation costs due to ~~the transportation capacity~~global supply chain and logistics constraints ~~across~~around the world.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company's manufacturing facilities were operational and were generally running at normal capacity levels. However, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 in China in late March has resulted in the temporary shut-down of certain of the Company's China manufacturing facilities throughout April. The Company is focused on the safety and well-being of its employees and actively monitoring the current situation. The Company is not currently able to determine the duration of the temporary shut-down, the impact on its customers, suppliers and transportation in and out of China or the potential financial impact on the Company's 2022 financial results.

The Company anticipates that the ~~global health crisis~~disruptions caused by COVID-19 may continue to impact its business activity for the foreseeable future. It is currently difficult to estimate the magnitude of the COVID-19 disruption, if future disruptions will occur due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and its impact on ~~our~~the Company's employees, customers, suppliers and vendors. The Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions altering ~~our~~its business operations that ~~we determine~~the Company determines are in the best interests of ~~our~~its employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders, or as

It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on ~~our~~the Company's business and operations, including the effects on ~~our~~its customers, employees, and prospects, or on ~~our~~the Company's financial results for the fiscal year ~~2021.~~2022.

Risks Related to Market Conditions

The Company continues to operate in a more volatile macro environment given events related to the war in Ukraine. The company does not have any direct operations in Ukraine or Russia. The war has had a modest impact on the Company, including higher transportation costs due to the Company modifying its shipping logistics as well as suspending sales into and purchases from Russia. Additionally, the war has impacted certain OEM customers who have had lower production levels due to shut-downs and ongoing material shortages.

~~U.K. pension plan~~

On April 7, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a group annuity contract, under which an insurance company will be required to directly pay and administer pension payments to certain of the Company’s U.K. pension plan participants, or their designated beneficiaries. The purchase of this group annuity contract will reduce the Company’s outstanding pension benefit obligation by approximately $55 million, representing approximately 37% of the total obligations of the Company’s qualified pension plans, and will be funded with pension plan assets and additional cash on hand. In connection with this transaction, the Company will record a one-time non-cash settlement charge currently estimated between $18 million and $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting the accelerated recognition of unamortized actuarial losses in the plan. The actual amount and timing of the settlement charge could differ from this estimate due to final data and plan wind-up expenses. Due to the signing of the group annuity contract being a significant change in the U.K. pension plan, the liabilities of the plan were remeasured as of April 6, 2020 resulting in an increase of $13.4 million (£10.9 million) to both the net pension liability and unamortized actuarial loss within other comprehensive income (loss) during the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the Company made a cash contribution of $10.4 million (£8.4 million) under this agreement during the second quarter of 2020.
