Reporting Periods
Our fiscal year and fiscal fourth quarter both end on December 31. Our fiscal first quarter ends on the Sunday falling closest to 91 days after December 31, which was April 3, 2022,2, 2023, the 93rd92nd day of our fiscal year 2022.2023. Our fiscal second and third quarters each have 91 days. The ninethree months ended October 2,April 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021 included 275 days and 276 days, respectively.93 days.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
As of and during the three and nine months ended OctoberApril 2, 20222023 and OctoberApril 3, 2021,2022, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash equivalents, and we utilized Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations (see Note 3) and for impairment testing (see Notes 4 and 11).equivalents. We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the ninethree months ended OctoberApril 2, 20222023 and OctoberApril 3, 2021.2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. We periodically have cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds and other investments. As of OctoberApril 2, 2022,2023, we did not have any such cash equivalents on hand. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
Contingent Liabilities
We have established liabilities for environmental and legal contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable, the amounts of which are currently not material. We accrue environmental remediation costs based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures developed in consultation with our environmental consultants and legal counsel. We are, from time to time, subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. Historically, these lawsuits have primarily involved claims for damages arising out of the use of our products, allegations of patent or trademark infringement, and litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Based on facts currently available, we believe the disposition of the claims that are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.
As of OctoberApril 2, 2022,2023, we were party to standby letters of credit, bank guaranties, and surety bonds totaling $7.2$8.7 million, $5.1$4.4 million, and $3.8 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue consistent with the principles as outlined in the following five step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. See Note 2.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the financial statement issuance date for appropriate accounting and disclosure. See Note 17.
Equity Method Investment
During the second quarter of 2022, we invested $20.0 million in Litmus Automation, Inc. (Litmus) for a noncontrolling ownership interest. Litmus provides the critical data connectivity needed to monitor, visualize, analyze, and integrate industrial data. We account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of our investment is included in Other Long-Lived Assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of our investment in Litmus were not material to our consolidated financial statements for the three or nine months ended OctoberApril 2, 2022.2023.
Noncontrolling Interest
We havehad a 51% ownership percentage in a joint venture with Shanghai Hi-Tech Control System Co, Ltd (Hite). The purpose of the joint venture is to developdevelops and provideprovides certain Industrial Automation Solutions products and integrated solutions to customers in China. Belden and Hite are committed to fund $1.53 million and $1.47 million, respectively, to the joint venture in the future. The joint venture iswas determined to not have sufficient equity at risk; therefore, it iswas considered a variable interest entity. We have determined that Belden iswas the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, due to both our ownership percentage and our control over the activities of the joint venture that most significantly impact its economic performance based on the terms of the joint venture agreement with Hite. Because Belden iswas the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, we have consolidated the joint venture in our financial statements. The results of the joint venture attributable to Hite’s ownership are presented as net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture iswas not material to our consolidated financial statements as of or for the periods ended OctoberApril 2, 20222023 and OctoberApril 3, 2021.2022.

We generate revenues primarily by selling products that provide securesupport communication, infrastructure, and reliable transmission of data, sound,delivery solutions that make the digital journey simpler, smarter, and video for mission critical applications.more secure. We also generate revenues from providing support and professional services. We sell our products to distributors, end-users, installers, and directly to original equipment manufacturers. At times, we enter into arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple performance obligations. For these arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognized when or as each performance obligation is satisfied.
Generally, we determine relative standalone selling price using the prices charged separately to customers on a standalone basis. Most of our performance obligations related to the sale of products are satisfied at a point in time when control of the product is transferred based on the shipping terms of the arrangement. Typically, payments are due after control transfers, which is less than one year from satisfaction of the performance obligation.
The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies due to rebates, returns, and price adjustments. We estimate the expected rebates, returns, and price adjustments based on an analysis of historical experience, anticipated sales demand, and trends in product pricing. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Adjustments to revenue for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods were not significant during the three and nine months ended OctoberApril 2, 20222023 and OctoberApril 3, 20212022.
The following table presents estimated and accrued variable consideration:

Depending on the terms of an arrangement, we may defer the recognition of some or all of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future obligation. Consideration allocated to support services under a support and maintenance contract is typically paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the service. Consideration allocated to professional services is typically recognized when or as the services are performed depending on the terms of the arrangement. As of OctoberApril 2, 2022,2023, total deferred revenue was $29.0$29.3 million, and of this amount, $21.6$22.6 million is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months, and the remaining $7.4$6.7 million is long-term and is expected to be recognized over a period greater than twelve months.

Note 3: Acquisitions
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, we completed three acquisitions. On January 17, 2022, we acquired macmon secure GmbH (Macmon) for $41.9 million, net of cash acquired. Macmon, based in Berlin, Germany, is a leading provider of products and services that secure network infrastructure in a variety of mission critical industries. On March 3, 2022, we acquired NetModule AG (NetModule) for $23.5 million, net of cash acquired. NetModule, based in Bern, Switzerland, is a leading provider of reliable, fast and secure wireless network infrastructures through advanced capabilities in 5G and WiFi6 technologies in a variety of mission critical industries with a strong focus on mass transit and intelligent traffic systems within the transportation vertical. On April 15, 2022, we acquired Communication Associates, Inc. (CAI) for $19.0 million, net of cash acquired. CAI is headquartered in Anniston, Alabama and designs, manufactures, and sells a range of plug-in radio frequency filters used in outside plant hybrid fiber-coax nodes. The results of operations of each acquisition have been included in our results of operations from their respective acquisition dates. The three acquisitions were not material to our consolidated results of operations. Macmon and NetModule are included in the Industrial Automation Solutions segment, and CAI is included in the Enterprise Solutions segment. All three acquisitions were funded with cash on hand. The following table summarizes the estimated, preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for all three acquisitions in total as of their respective acquisition dates (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
Receivables | | $ | 6,537 | |
Inventory | | 8,278 | |
Other current assets | | 369 | |
Property, plant and equipment | | 1,375 | |
Intangible assets | | 40,709 | |
Goodwill | | 51,520 | |
Operating lease right-of-use assets | | 6,167 | |
Total assets acquired | | $ | 114,955 | |
| | |
Accounts payable | | $ | 2,497 | |
Accrued liabilities | | 6,716 | |
Long-term debt | | 2,440 | |
Deferred income taxes | | 10,048 | |
Long-term operating lease liabilities | | 2,926 | |
Other long-term liabilities | | 5,936 | |
Total liabilities assumed | | $ | 30,563 | |
| | |
Net assets | | $ | 84,392 | |
The above purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of individual assets and liabilities becomes available. The preliminary measurement of receivables, intangible assets, goodwill, deferred income taxes, and other assets and liabilities are subject to change. A change in the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.
The preliminary fair value of acquired receivables is $6.5 million, which is equivalent to its gross contractual amount. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments we have used in estimating the preliminary fair values assigned to each class of acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of our operations.
For purposes of the above allocation, we based our preliminary estimate of the fair values for intangible assets on valuation studies performed by a third party valuation firm. We used various valuation methods including discounted cash flows, lost income, excess earnings, and relief from royalty to estimate the preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets (Level 3 valuation). Goodwill and other intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the expansion of industrial automation and broadband & 5G product offerings in end-to-end solutions. Our tax basis in the acquired goodwill is zero. The intangible assets related to the three acquisitions consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair Value | | Amortization Period |
| | (In thousands) | | (In years) |
Intangible assets subject to amortization: | | | | |
Developed technologies | | $ | 31,626 | | | 4.2 |
Customer relationships | | 4,677 | | | 15.0 |
Trademarks | | 2,806 | | | 2.0 |
Sales backlog | | 1,300 | | | 0.9 |
Non-compete agreements | | 300 | | | 4.0 |
Total intangible assets subject to amortization | | $ | 40,709 | | | |
| | | | |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization: | | | | |
Goodwill | | $ | 51,520 | | | n/a |
Total intangible assets not subject to amortization | | $ | 51,520 | | | |
| | | | |
Total intangible assets | | $ | 92,229 | | | |
Weighted average amortization period | | | | 5.3 |
The amortizable intangible assets reflected in the table above were determined by us to have finite lives. The useful life for the developed technology intangible asset was based on the estimated time that the technology provides us with a competitive advantage and thus approximates the period and pattern of consumption of the intangible asset. The useful life for the customer relationship intangible asset was based on our forecasts of estimated sales from recurring customers. The useful life for the trademarks was based on the period of time we expect to continue to go to market using the trademarks.
Opterna International Corp.
Our acquisition of Opterna International Corp. (Opterna) in 2019 included potential earn-out consideration. As of the acquisition date, we estimated the fair value of the earn-out to be $5.8 million. The earn-out period ended in 2021, and the financial targets tied to the earn-out were not achieved. We reduced the earn-out liability to zero and recognized a $5.8 million benefit in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the nine months ended October 3, 2021. This benefit was excluded from Segment EBITDA of our Enterprise Solutions segment.
Note 4: Disposals
We classify assets and liabilities as held for sale (disposal group) when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. We also consider whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. When we classify a disposal group as held for sale, we test for impairment. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value of the disposal group exceeds the estimated fair value, less costs to sell. We also cease depreciation and amortization for assets classified as held for sale.
During the first quarter of 2021, we committed to a plan to sell our oil and gas cable business in Brazil that met all of the criteria to classify the assets and liabilities of this business, formerly part of the Industrial Automation Solutions segment, as held for sale. At such time, the carrying value of the disposal group exceeded the fair value less costs to sell, which we determined based upon the expected sale price, by $3.4 million. Therefore, we recognized an impairment charge equal to this amount in the first quarter of 2021. The impairment charge was excluded from Segment EBITDA of our Industrial Automation Solutions segment. We completed the sale of our oil and gas cable business in Brazil during the second quarter of 2021 for $10.9 million, net of cash delivered with the business and recognized an immaterial loss on sale.
Note 5:3: Discontinued Operations
On February 22, 2022, we sold Tripwire for gross cash consideration of $350 million. The divestiture of Tripwire representsrepresented a strategic shift impacting our operations and financial results. As a result, the Tripwire disposal group, which was included in our Industrial Automation Solutions segment, is reported within discontinued operations. We recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax of $5.4 million and $9.9$4.6 million during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, respectively. The $5.4 million loss recognized in the three months ended October 2, 2022 was the result of a sales price adjustment tied to working capital.April 3, 2022.

Note 6:4: Reportable Segments
We are organized around two global businesses: Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Automation Solutions. Each of the global businesses represents a reportable segment. In conjunction with the Tripwire divestiture during the first quarter of 2022, we changed the name of our former Industrial Solutions segment to Industrial Automation Solutions. The composition of the segment did not change as a result of this name change.
The key measures of segment profit or loss are Segment Revenues and Segment EBITDA. Segment Revenues represent non-affiliate revenues. Segment EBITDA excludes certain items, including depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; asset impairment; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory to fair value; and other costs. We allocate corporate expenses to the segments for purposes of measuring Segment EBITDA. Corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of each segment’s relative EBITDA prior to the allocation.
Our measure of segment assets does not include cash, goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets, or corporate assets. All goodwill is allocated to reporting units of our segments for purposes of impairment testing. Inter-company revenues between our segments is not material.

For the three and nine months ended OctoberApril 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludeexcluded outstanding equity awards of 0.70.2 million and 0.91.1 million, respectively, as they arewere anti-dilutive. In addition, for both the three and nine months ended OctoberApril 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, diluted weighted average shares outstanding dodid not include outstanding equity awards of 0.0 million and 0.1 million, respectively, because the related performance conditions have not been satisfied.
For the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude outstanding equity awards of 1.0 million and 1.2 million as they are anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 0.2 million and 0.3 million because the related performance conditions have not been satisfied.
For purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are not included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding until all necessary conditions have been satisfied and issuance of the shares underlying the restricted stock units is no longer contingent. Necessary conditions are not satisfied until the vesting date, at which time holders of our restricted stock units receive shares of our common stock.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are included to the extent that they are dilutive. In determining whether unvested restricted stock units are dilutive, each issuance of restricted stock units is considered separately.
Once a restricted stock unit has vested, it is included in the calculation of both basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Note 8:6: Credit Losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Our expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. Our monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible.
Estimates are used to determine the allowance, which is based upon an assessment of anticipated payments as well as other information that is reasonably available. The following table presents the activity in the trade receivables allowance for doubtful accounts for our continuing operations for the three and nine months ended OctoberApril 2, 20222023 and OctoberApril 3, 2021,2022, respectively:

Note 10:8: Leases
We have operating and finance leases for properties, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office space; as well as vehicles and certain equipment. We make certain judgments in determining whether a contract contains a lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less thanwithin 1 year to 1715 years; some of which include extension and termination options for an additional 15 years or within 1 year, respectively.options. We do not assume renewals in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain as of the commencement date of the lease. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments.
We have entered into variousa few short-term operating leases with an initial term ofterms less than twelve months or less. These- these leases are not recorded on our balance sheet and for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, theoverall rent expense for short-term leases wasis not material.
We also have certain property and equipment lease contracts that may contain both lease and non-lease components, and wecomponents. We have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single, combined lease component.
T
As thehe rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable,determinable. As a result, we useutilize the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments, which is unique to each leased asset, and is based upon the term of the lease, commencement date of the lease, local currency of the leased asset, and the credit rating of the legal entity leasing the asset.
We are party to aOur lease guarantee, whereby Belden has covenantedagreements do not contain material residual value guarantees. Our variable lease expense was approximately $0.8 million for each the lease payments for one of Grass Valley's property leases through its 2035 expiration date. This lease guarantee was retained by Beldenthree months ended April 2, 2023 and not transferred to Black Dragon Capital as part of the sale of Grass Valley. Belden would be required to make lease payments only if the primary obligor, Black Dragon Capital, fails to make the payments. As of October 2, 2022, the lease had approximately $15.1 million of lease payments remaining. We have not recorded a liability associated with this guarantee.April 3, 2022.

In addition, we are party to two lease guarantees. Belden covenanted the lease payments for two Grass Valley property leases which will expire in 2029 and 2035, and collectively have approximately $19 million of fixed lease payments remaining. These lease guarantees were retained by Belden and not transferred to the buyer of Grass Valley. During 2022, Grass Valley defaulted on both property leases.

Trends and Events
The following trends and events during 20222023 have had varying effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. Since the beginning of the pandemic, our foremost focus has been on the health and safety of our employees and customers. In response to the outbreak, to protect the health and safety of our employees, we modified practices at our manufacturing locations and offices to adhere to guidance from the WHO, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other local health and governmental authorities with respect to social distancing, physical separation, personal protective equipment and sanitization. In light of variant mutations of the virus, even as vaccinations become more prevalent and more employees return to our offices, many of these safeguards will continue.
Our suppliers, distributors, and other partners have similarly had their operations disrupted, and in regions of the world where infection rates have remained high, human suffering and market disruptions have persisted. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by local or foreign governmental authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and customers.
Foreign Currency
Our exposure to currency rate fluctuations primarily relates to exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the euro, Canadian dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese yuan, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, British pound, Indian rupee and Swiss franc. Generally, as the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are negatively impacted as our foreign denominated revenues and earnings are translated into U.S. dollars at a lower rate. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are positively impacted. Approximately 43%44% of our consolidated revenues during the quarter ended OctoberApril 2, 20222023 were to customers outside of the U.S.
In addition to the translation impact described above, currency rate fluctuations have an economic impact on our financial results. As the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against foreign currencies, it results in a relative price increase or decrease for certain of our products that are priced in U.S. dollars in a foreign location.
Inflation
During periods of inflation, if we are unable to raise prices timely and sufficiently to recover our material costs, our earnings could decline. Furthermore, inflation may impact labor, energy, and other costs. We are mindful of ongoing inflationarymonitor inflation pressures and as a result, proactively implement selling price increases andor cost control measures.measures as appropriate.
Commodity Prices
Our operating results can be affected by changes in prices of commodities, primarily copper and compounds, which are components in some of the products we sell. Generally, as the costs of inventory purchases increase due to higher commodity prices, we raise selling prices to customers to cover the increase in costs, resulting in higher sales revenue but a lower gross profit percentage. Conversely, a decrease in commodity prices would result in lower sales revenue but a higher gross profit percentage. Selling prices of our products are affected by many factors, including end market demand, capacity utilization, overall economic conditions, and commodity prices. There is no exact measure of the effect of changing commodity prices, as there are thousands of transactions in any given quarter, each of which has various factors involved in the individual pricing decisions. Therefore, all references to the effect of copper prices or other commodity prices are estimates.
Channel Inventory
Our operating results also can be affected by the levels of Belden products purchased and held as inventory by our channel partners and customers. Our channel partners and customers purchase and hold the products they bought from us in their inventory in order to meet the service and on-time delivery requirements of their customers. Generally, as our channel partners and customers change the level of products they buy from us and hold in their inventory, it impacts our revenues. Comparisons of our results between periods can be impacted by changes in the levels of channel inventory. We use information provided to
us by our channel partners and make certain assumptions based on our sales to them to determine the amount of products they bought from us and hold in their inventory. As such, all references to the effect of channel inventory changes are estimates.
Market Growth and Market Share
The markets in which we operate can generally be characterized as highly competitive and highly fragmented, with many players. We monitor available data regarding market growth, including independent market research reports, publicly available indices, and the financial results of our direct and indirect peer companies, in order to estimate the extent to which our served markets grew or contracted during a particular period. We expect that our unit sales volume will increase or decrease consistently with the market growth rate. Our strategic goal is to utilize our Market Delivery System to target faster growing geographies, applications, and trends within our end markets, in order to achieve growth that is higher than the general market growth rate. To the extent that we exceed the market growth rates, we consider it to be the result of capturing market share.
Tripwire Divestiture
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, we sold Tripwire for gross cash consideration of $350 million and recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax of $5.4 million and $9.9 million during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022. See Note 5.
Debt Repurchase
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, we repurchased all of the €200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior subordinated notes previously due 2026. We recognized a $6.4 million loss on debt extinguishment for the premiums paid to the bond holders to retire the 2026 Notes and for the unamortized debt issuance costs on the 2026 Notes that we were required to write-off. See Note 13.
Acquisitions
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, we completed three acquisitions. On January 17, 2022, we acquired Macmon for $41.9 million, net of cash acquired. Macmon, based in Berlin, Germany, is a leading provider of products and services that secure network infrastructure in a variety of mission critical industries. On March 3, 2022, we acquired NetModule for $23.5 million, net of cash acquired. NetModule, based in Bern, Switzerland, is a leading provider of reliable, fast and secure wireless network infrastructures through advanced capabilities in 5G and WiFi6 technologies in a variety of mission critical industries with a strong focus on mass transit and intelligent traffic systems within the transportation vertical. On April 15, 2022, we acquired CAI for $19.0 million, net of cash acquired. CAI is headquartered in Anniston, Alabama and designs, manufactures, and sells a range of plug-in radio frequency filters used in outside plant hybrid fiber-coax nodes. The results of operations of each acquisition have been included in our results of operations from their respective acquisition dates. The three acquisitions were not material to our results of operations. Macmon and NetModule are included in the Industrial Automation Solutions segment, and CAI is included in the Enterprise Solutions segment. All three acquisitions were funded with cash on hand. See Note 3.
Share Repurchase Program
During the three months ended OctoberApril 2, 2022,2023, we repurchased 1.20.6 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $69.8$50.0 million at an average price per share of $59.84.

See Note 18.16.
Gain on Sale of Asset
During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, we sold certain real estate in the United States for $42.2 million, net of transaction costs and recognized a $37.9 million pre-tax gain on sale. This gain on sale was excluded from Segment EBITDA of our Industrial Automation Solutions segment. See Note 11.
Equity Method Investment
During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, we invested $20.0 million in Litmus for a noncontrolling ownership interest. Litmus provides critical data connectivity needed to monitor, visualize, analyze, and integrate industrial data. We account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. See Note 1.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows that are or would be considered material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
During the ninethree months ended OctoberApril 2, 2022:2023:
•We did not change any of our existing critical accounting policies from those listed in our 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K;
•No existing accounting policies became critical accounting policies because of an increase in the materiality of associated transactions or changes in the circumstances to which associated judgments and estimates relate; and
•There were no significant changes in the manner in which critical accounting policies were applied or in which related judgments and estimates were developed.

When we calculate the tax effect of the adjustments, we include all current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the adjusted measure of pre-tax profitability.
We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments and for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. As an example, we adjust for acquisition-related expenses, such as amortization of intangibles and impacts of fair value adjustments because they generally are not related to the acquired business' core business performance. As an additional example, we exclude the costs of restructuring programs, which can occur from time to time for our current businesses and/or recently acquired businesses. We exclude the costs in calculating adjusted results to allow us and investors to evaluate the performance of the business based upon its expected ongoing operating structure. We believe the adjusted measures, accompanied by the disclosure of the costs of these programs, provides valuable insight.
Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The following tables reconcile our GAAP results to our non-GAAP financial measures:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Significant factors affecting our cash liquidity include (1) cash from operating activities, (2) disposals of businesses and tangible assets, (3) cash used for acquisitions, restructuring actions, capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, and senior subordinated note repurchases, and (4) our available credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements. We expect our operating activities to generate cash in 20222023 and believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund current working capital requirements, capital expenditures, contributions to our retirement plans, share repurchases, senior subordinated note repurchases, quarterly dividend payments, and our short-term operating strategies. However, we may require external financing in the event we complete a significant acquisition. Our ability to continue to fund our future needs from business operations could be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to: economic conditions worldwide, customer demand, competitive market forces, customer acceptance of our product mix, and commodities pricing.
