ULTRA CLEAN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization — Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc., (the “Company” or “UCT”) a Delaware corporation, was founded in November 2002 and became a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ Global Market in March 2004. The Company is a leading developer and supplier of critical subsystems, components, parts, and ultra-high purity cleaning and analytical services, primarily for the semiconductor industry. UCT offers its customers an integrated outsourced solution for major subassemblies, improved design-to-delivery cycle times, design for manufacturability, prototyping and part and component manufacturing, as well as tool chamber parts cleaning and coating, and micro-contamination analytical services. The Company’s Products business primarily designs, engineers and manufactures production tools, components and parts, and modules and subsystems for the semiconductor and display capital equipment markets. Products include chemical delivery modules, frame assemblies, gas delivery systems, fluid delivery systems, precision robotics, process modules, sub-fab process equipment support racks, as well as other high-level assemblies. The Company’s Services business provides ultra-high purity parts cleaning, process tool part recoating, surface encapsulation and high sensitivity micro contamination analysis primarily for the semiconductor device makers and wafer fabrication equipment markets.

Basis of Presentation — The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company, normal, recurring and necessary for the fair financial statement presentation for the dates and periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2022.29, 2023.

Fiscal Year — The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday nearest December 31. All references to quarters refer to fiscal quarters and all references to years refer to fiscal years.

Principles of Consolidation — The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Significant Accounting Policies

Noncontrolling interests Noncontrolling interests are recognizedThere were no changes to reflect the portionaccounting policies disclosed in Note 1, Organization and Significant Accounting Polices of the equityCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2023 that had a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 that had a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 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. 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 Company is required to adopt this standard in the fiscal year 2024 for the annual reporting ending December 27, 2024, with retrospective disclosure of prior periods presented. The Company expects this ASU to only impact its disclosures with no impact to its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends the guidance in ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASU No. 2023-09 is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in

the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Company is required to adopt this standard prospectively in fiscal year 2025 for the annual reporting period ending December 26, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On October 25, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the majority-owned subsidiaries whichshares of HIS Innovations Group (“HIS”), a privately held company based in Hillsboro, Oregon. HIS is not attributable, directly or indirectly,a leading supplier to the controlling stockholder.semiconductor sub-fab segment including the design, manufacturing, and integration of components, process solutions, and fully integrated sub-systems. The Company’s consolidated entities include partially-owned entities, which are Cinos Co., Ltd (“Cinos Korea”), a South Korean company that provides outsourced cleaningacquisition strengthens the Company's leadership in developing and recycling of precision parts forsupplying critical products to the semiconductor industry, through its operating facilities in South Korea and whose resultsextends our reach into the Company consolidates, and Cinos Xian Clean Technology, Ltd. (“Cinos China”), a Chinese entity that is majority owned by Cinos Korea. sub-fab area.
The interest held by others in Cinos Korea and in Cinos China are presented as noncontrolling interests inpurchase price of HIS for purposes of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The noncontrolling interests will continueCompany’s preliminary purchase price allocation was determined to be attributed its share$73.6 million, which includes initial cash consideration of gains$46.5 million and losses even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interests' balance. See Note 10 for further discussion.

Segments — The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) guidance regarding disclosure about segments in an enterprise and related information establishes standards for the reporting by public business enterprises of information about reportable segments, products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the manner in which management organizes the reportable segments within the Company for making operational decisions and assessments of financial performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company operates two reportable segments: Products and Services. The Company has three operating segments as of June 30, 2023 with two operating segments within the Products reportable segment and one operating segment within the Services reportable segment. See Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Currency Translation and RemeasurementThe functional currency of the Products business’ foreign subsidiaries, excluding the subsidiaries of Ham-Let (Israel-Canada) Ltd. (“Ham-Let” or “Fluid Solutions”), is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of the Ham-Let subsidiaries in Singapore, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Taiwan and China, is their local currency, except for Israel, which is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of the Services division’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency, except for that of its Singapore, Scotland and Ireland entities, which is the U.S. Dollar.

For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency, the Company translates the financial statements of these subsidiaries to U.S. Dollars using month-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates for revenue, costs and expenses. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within UCT stockholders’ equity. For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries where the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency and functional currency differs from their local currency, any gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are recorded in other income (expense), net.

- 9 -


Use of Estimates — The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and assumptions include, but not limited to, inventory valuation, accounting for income taxes, business combinations, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustments. Actual amounts may differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents— The Company considers currency on hand, demand deposits, time deposits, and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in various financial institutions in the United States and internationally.

Concentration of Credit Risk— Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company sells its products and provides services primarily to semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers in the United States. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral.

The Company’s most significant customers (having individually accounted for 10% or more of revenues) and their related revenues as a percentage of total revenues were as follows:

Fair Value of MeasurementsThe Company measures its cash equivalents, derivative contracts, pension obligation and common stock purchase obligation (prior to the reclass to non-controlling interests) at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be derived from observable market data. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and credit ratings.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities.

Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company uses forward contracts to hedge a portion of, but not all, existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions typically expected to occur within 24 months. The purpose of the hedge is to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on certain foreign currency denominated costs and eventual cash flows. The Company recognizes derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the fair value of potential earn-out payments of approximately $27.1 million. These potential earn-out payments represent up to $70.0 million of cash consideration that may be payable based on the derivativesfinancial performance of the acquired business during the fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025. The fair value of the potential earn-out payments was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The Company has assigned the purchase price of HIS to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of purchase price over the aggregate fair value was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future technology, market presence and knowledgeable and experienced workforce. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined using the income approach taking into account the Company’s consideration of a number of inputs, including a third-party analysis that was based upon estimates and assumptions provided by the Company. These estimates and assumptions were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques and with the assistance of a valuation specialist.
The assigned purchase price is preliminary pending the completion of various analyses and the finalization of estimates. The primary areas of the purchase price that are not yet finalized relate to the measurement of working capital, acquired income tax related balances, and residual goodwill. During the measurement period, which can be no more than one year from the date of acquisition, we expect to continue to obtain information to assist us in determining the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statementsfinal fair value of Operations as other income (expense),the net or as a component of AOCI in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Inventories — Inventories are statedassets acquired at the loweracquisition date. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. Thus, the provisional measurements of cost (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value.fair value discussed above are subject to change. The Company evaluatesexpects to finalize the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and spare parts on a periodic basis. Obsolete inventory or inventory in excess of management’s estimated usage is written down to its estimated market value less costs to sell, if lessas soon as practicable, but not later than its cost. Inherent inone year from the estimates of market value are management’s estimates related to economic trends, and future demand for the Company’s products.

Inventory write downs inherently involve judgments based on assumptions about expected future demand and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Althoughacquisition date. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions underlying the assumptions it used in estimating inventory write downsvaluations are reasonable, significant changes in any one of thedifferent estimates and assumptions in the future could produce a significantly different result. There can be no assurances that future events and changing market conditions will not result in significant increases in inventory write downs.

Property, Plant andEquipment — Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, or, in the case of equipment under finance leases, the present value of future minimum lease payments at inception of the related lease. The Company also capitalizes interest on borrowings related to eligible capital expenditures. Capitalized interest is addeddifferent valuations assigned to the cost of the qualifiedindividual assets and is subject to depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the leases. Useful lives range from three to fifty years. Direct costs incurred to develop software for internal use are capitalized and amortized over an estimated useful life of three to ten years. Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal use software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal use software is included in computer equipment and software.

Long-lived AssetsThe Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the fair value of the assets based on the amount of the undiscounted future cash flows that the assets are expected to generate and recognizes an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset. If the Company identifies an impairment, the Company reduces the carrying value of the group of assets to comparable market values, when available and appropriate, or to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flow approach.

Leases— The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of the arrangement and reassesses that conclusion if the arrangement is modified. When the Company determines the arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at lease inception, it then determines whether the lease is an operating lease or a finance lease. Operating and finance leases with lease terms of greater than one year result in the Company recording a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on its balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit interest rate if readily determinable or when the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is not a commonly quoted rate and is derived through a combination of inputs, including the Company’s credit rating and the impact of full collateralization. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the Company’s collateralized borrowing capabilities over a similar term of the lease payments. The Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate based on bank loan rates at the respective locations for leases where appropriate and the consolidated group bank loan rate where the Company does not have local bank financings. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made in advance and is reduced by any lease incentives. Specific lease terms used in computing the ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company believes it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying asset. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, other current liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s finance leases at June 30, 2023 and December 30, 2022 were not significant.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets — Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. Intangible assets are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized on either a straight-line method or on an accelerated method over their estimated future discounted cash flows. The Company reviews goodwill and purchased intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, such as when reductions in demand or significant economic slowdowns in the semiconductor industry are present.

Deferred Debt Issuance Costs — Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with obtaining debt financing are deferred and presented as a direct deduction from Bank Borrowings in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred costs are amortized on an effective interest method basis over the contractual term.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan — The Company has several noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of the employees of two of its foreign entities upon termination of their employee services. The benefits for these plans are based on expected years of service and average compensation. The net period costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the postretirement benefits. The Company records annual amounts relating to the pension plan based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current and expected rates of return and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) and amortized to net periodic cost over future periods using the corridor method. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under the plan are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions. For further discussion of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan see Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies performance obligations as evidenced by the transfer of control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company performs the following five steps to determine when to recognize revenue: (1) identification of the contract(s) with its customers, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance

- 11 -


obligations in the contract, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company infrequently sells certain finished goods inventory on a bill and hold basis. The terms of the bill and hold agreement provide that title to the specified inventory is transferred to the customer prior to shipment and the Company has the right to payment (prior to physical delivery) which results in recorded revenue as determined under the revenue recognition standard.

Shipping and Handling CostsShipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of revenues.

Research and Development Costs — Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense — The Company maintains stock-based compensation plans which allow for the issuance of equity-based awards to directors and certain employees. These equity-based awards include restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), performance stock units ("PSUs") and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSAs and RSUs use the closing price of stock price on the day preceding the grant date as a proxy for fair value and compensation expense. The PSUs contain market conditions, and compensation expense is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model and recognized over the derived service period based on the expected market performance as of the grant date. The Company also maintains an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that provides for the issuance of shares to all eligible employees of the Company at a discounted price. See Note 11 for further discussion.

Income Taxes — The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to realize our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, we begin with historical results and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future federal, state, and foreign pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, we consider recent cumulative income (loss). A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold to be recognized. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the consolidated statements of income as income tax expense. The Company accounts for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income as period costs when incurred.

Net Income per Share — Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common equivalent shares from dilutive restricted stock using the treasury stock method, except when such shares are anti-dilutive. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718, the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method include the average unrecognized compensation expense of in-the-money stock options and restricted stock units. This results in the assumed buyback of additional shares, thereby reducing the dilutive impact of equity awards.

Business Combinations — The Company recognizes assets acquired, (including goodwill and identifiable intangible assets), liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest atthe resulting amount of goodwill.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (“Topic 848”): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Topic 848: Deferral of the sunset date of Topic 848”, which defers the expiration date for Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 until December 31, 2024. In June 2023, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR-based reference interest rate option with a reference interest option based upon Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) under the Credit Agreement. The Company applied practical expedients provided in Topic 848 allowing for the changes in contractual terms to be accounted for prospectively. These modifications had no significant impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 6 for further discussion.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements and believes there is no accounting guidance issued but not yet effective that would be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. BUSINESS DIVESTITURES

In 2022, the Company executed the saleresults of four of its non-semiconductor operating subsidiaries of Fluid Solutions. Each of these entities is reported within the Products reportable segment. The purpose of the divestitures was to remain focused on its core semiconductor business. As a result of these divestitures, the Company recorded a net loss of $56.6 million and $20.8 million during the second and the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, respectively. The recorded total net loss of $77.4 million includes the write-off of intangible assets, goodwill and net assets of $27.8 million, $19.7 million and $29.9 million, respectively. Goodwill has been allocated to the divestitures based on the relative fair value of each component in relation to its respective reporting unit.

Index to Notes

The estimated fair value of pension obligation is based on expected years of service and average compensation. The valuation model used to value pension obligation utilizes mortality rate, inflation, interest rate risks and changes in the life expectancy for pensioners. These assumptions are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent actuary resulting in a Level 3 classification. As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, the Company's aggregate pension benefit obligations was $9.8$12.0 million and the fair value of the pension plan assets was $9.7$11.4 million. The underfunded pension benefit obligations was $0.1 million.$0.6 million as of March 29, 2024. The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit pension plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation. Each overfunded plan is recognized as an asset and each underfunded plan is recognized as a liability.

The Company measures its contingent earn-out liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant unobservable inputs used in the model include the forecasted operating profit of the acquired business during each of calendar years 2024 and 2025. Significant increases or decreases to the forecasted results would result in a significantly higher or lower liability, with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earn-out obligation. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The amount paid that is less than or equal to the contingent earn-out liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Any amount paid in excess of the contingent earn-out liability on the acquisition date will be reflected as cash used in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. For the three months ended March 29, 2024, the Company recorded $1.3 million of loss from change in the fair value of contingent earn-out related to the acquisition of HIS. This loss from change in the fair value was recognized as other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

There were no transfers from Level 1 or Level 2. Fair value adjustments were noncash, and therefore did not impact the Company’s liquidity or capital resources. Qualitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements is as follows:

5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

The Company’s methodology for allocating the purchase price relating to an acquisition is determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed.

To test goodwill for impairment, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the Company does not proceed to perform a quantitative impairment test. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test will be performed by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. A quantitative impairment analysis, if necessary, considers the income approach, which requires estimates of the present value of expected future cash flows to determine a reporting unit’s fair value. Significant estimates include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, discount rates, and future economic and market conditions. A goodwill impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. Any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets requires significant judgment. The Company regularly monitors current business conditions and other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, there were no changes to the Company's reporting units, and the Company did not recognize any impairment charges or additions to goodwill. Details of aggregate goodwill of the Company are as follows:

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are generally recorded in connection with a business acquisition. The Company evaluates the useful lives of its intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances require revising the remaining period of amortization. In addition, the Company reviews indefinite-livedfinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate theirthe carrying value may not be recoverable and tests definite livedevaluates indefinite-lived intangible assets at leastasset for impairment annually, for impairment.or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist.

This modification is applicable only to the revolving credit facility portion of its credit facilities. The Financial Covenant Adjustments are effective during the period commencing with the fiscal period ended June 30, 2023, through to the fiscal period ending December 31, 2024, subject to certain anti-cash hoarding and minimum liquidity requirements during such period. At the election of the Company, and subject to demonstrating compliance with certain financial ratio tests, the Financial Covenant Adjustments may terminate earlier than December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, the Company had $146.2$146.1 million, $12.5$5.7 million, and $7.6$7.6 million available to draw from its credit facilities in the U.S., Israel and Czech Republic, respectively.

7. INCOME TAX

The Company's effective tax rate was 8300%366.7% and (66.9%)89.7% for the three months ended June 30,March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, and July 1, 2022, respectively, and 295.0% and 65.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. The 8300% effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2023 is primarily driven by foreign tax expense over a near breakeven pre-tax profit for the period. The Company’s income tax provision was $8.3$9.9 million and $8.7$3.5 million for the three months ended June 30,March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, and July 1, 2022, respectively, and $11.8 and $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2022, respectively. The change in respective tax rates reflects, primarily, changes in the geographic mix of worldwide earnings and financial results in jurisdictions which are taxed at different rates and the impact of losses in jurisdictions with full federal and state valuation allowances.

The increase also reflects the impact of the expiration of a reduced tax rate incentive on a portion of the Company's earnings in certain international subsidiaries and thus the Company is applying the local corporate statutory tax rate on those earnings. The Company is in the process of renewing the international tax incentive and when renewed will make an adjustment to its effective tax rate in that period. Company management continuously evaluates the need for a valuation allowance and, as of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, concluded that a full valuation allowance on its U.S. federal and state and certain of its foreign deferred tax assets was still appropriate.

As of June 30,March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, and July 1, 2022, the Company’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, was $2.7$2.9 million and $1.7$2.7 million, respectively. Increases or decreases to interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included in the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Although it is possible that some of the unrecognized tax benefits could be settled within the next twelve months, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the outcome at this time.

Fluid Solutions has aThe Company's entities in Israel do have noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering itstheir employees in Israel upon their retirement. The benefits for these plans are based on expected years of service and average compensation. The net period costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the postretirement benefits. The Company records annual amounts relating to the pension plan based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current and expected rates of return and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications to those assumptions is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and amortized to net periodic cost over future periods using the corridor method. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under the plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.

As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, approximately $29.8$19.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to employee and director awards remains to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 2.241.7 years, and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in future grants. The total unamortized expense of the Company’s unvested RSAs as of June 30, 2023March 29, 2024 was $0.9$0.1 million.

Under the current PSU program, which was effective beginning fiscal 2021, performance goals are set at the time of grant and performance is reviewed at the end of a three-year period. The percentage to be applied to each participant’s target award ranges from zero to 200%200%, based upon the extent to which the financial performance goals are achieved. If specific performance threshold levels for the financial goals are met on an annual basis, the amount earned for that element will be applied to one-third of the participant’s PSU award granted to determine the number of total units earned.

- 19 -


At the end of the three-year performance period, the total units earned, if any, are adjusted by applying two modifiers, each ranging from 25% to (25)% based on (i) the Company’s relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) which is based on the Company’s stock price changes relative to a group of peer companies and (ii) the “average annual difference in operating margin” is defined as non-GAAP operating margin divided by total revenue comparing the annual operating plan to actual results.

The TSR modifier is intended to ensure that there are limited or no payouts under the PSU program if the Company’s stock performance is significantly below the median TSR. Where the financial goals have been met and where there has been strong relative TSR performance over the three-year performance period, the PSU program may provide substantial rewards to participants with a maximum payout of two times the initial PSU award.

Recipients of PSU awards generally must remain employed by the Company on a continuous basis through the end of the three-year performance period in order to receive any amount of the PSUs covered by that award. In events such as death, disability or retirement, the recipient may be entitled to pro-rata amounts of PSUs as defined in the Plan. Target shares subject to PSU awards do not have voting rights of common stock until earned and issued following the end of the three-year performance period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The ESPP permits employees to purchase common stock at a discount through payroll withholdings at certain specified dates (purchase period) within a defined offering period. The purchase price is 85%85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the end of the purchase period and is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code.

No shares were issued under the ESPP during the three and six months ended June 30,March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023. The Company recorded $0.1$0.2 million of expense related to ESPP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. DuringMarch 29, 2024. No ESPP related expense was recorded for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, 24.4 thousand shares were issued and $0.3 million of expense was recorded.

12. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligations as evidenced by the transfer of control of the promised goods or services to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company sells its products and services primarily to customers in the semiconductor capital equipment industry. The Company’s revenues are highly concentrated, and we are therefore highly dependent upon a small number of customers. Typical payment terms with our customers range from thirty to sixty days.

The Company’s Products business segment provides warranty on its products for a period of up to two years and provides for warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical activity. Determination of the warranty reserve requires the Company to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or replace the products under warranty. If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from these estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of revenues may be required in future periods. The warranty reserve is included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not considered significant.

The Company’s products are manufactured and services provided at the Company's locations throughout the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe and the Middle East (“EMEA”). Sales to customers are initiated through a purchase order and are governed by our standard terms and conditions, written agreements, or both. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of an agreement with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control
- 18 -

Index to Notes
of the products or when the Company provides the services. Based on the enforceable rights included in our agreements or prevailing terms and conditions, products produced by the Company without an alternative use are not protected by an enforceable right of payment that includes a reasonable profit throughout the duration of the agreement. Consignment sales are recognized in revenue at the earlier of the period that the goods are consumed or after a period of time subsequent to receipt by the customer as specified by terms of the agreement, provided control of the promised goods or services has transferred.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value-add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Certain of our customers may receive cash-based incentives, such as rebates or credits, which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be provided to customers and reduce revenues recognized. As of June 30, 2023 and December 30, 2022, an accrualAccruals for unpaid customer rebates of $3.2$1.0 million and $3.8$2.0 million as of March 29, 2024 and December 29, 2023, respectively, was included inwere netted against accounts receivable on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.receivable. The Company's disaggregated revenues are apportioned by segments within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Company’s principal markets include America, Asia Pacific and EMEA. The Company's foreign operations are conducted primarily through its subsidiaries in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, United Kingdom and the Czech Republic. Revenues by geographic area are categorized based on the customer’s location to which the products were shipped or services were performed.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.6, 2024. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions, strategies, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected expenses, gross margins and plans and objectives of management. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “objective,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events and involve known risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievement to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.6, 2024. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Overview

Ultra Clean Holdings, Inc., (“UCT”, the “Company” or “We”) is a leading developer and supplier of critical subsystems, components, parts, and ultra-high purity cleaning and analytical services primarily for the semiconductor industry. UCT offers its customers an integrated outsourced solution for major subassemblies, improved design-to-delivery cycle times, design for manufacturability, prototyping and part and component manufacturing, as well as tool chamber parts cleaning and coating, and micro-contamination analytical services. We report results for two operating segments: Products and Services. Our Products segment primarily designs, engineers and manufactures production tools, components and parts, and modules and subsystems for the semiconductor and display capital equipment markets. Products include chemical delivery modules, frame assemblies, gas delivery systems, fluid delivery systems, precision robotics, process modules as well as other high-level assemblies. Our Services segment provides ultra-high purity parts cleaning, process tool part recoating, surface encapsulation and high sensitivity micro contamination analysis primarily for the semiconductor device makers and wafer fabrication equipment (“WFE”) markets.

We ship a majority of our products and provide most of our services to U.S. registered customers with locations both in and outside the U.S. In addition to U.S. manufacturing and service operations, we manufacture products and provide parts cleaning and other related services in our Asia Pacific, Europe and Middle East (“EMEA”) facilities to support local and U.S. based customers. We conduct our operating activities primarily through our subsidiaries.

Over the long term, we believe the semiconductor market we serve will continue to grow due to multi-year industry demand from a broad range of drivers, such as new CPUprocessor architectures that enable higher performance servers necessary for cloud, artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning applications. We also believe that semiconductor original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”) are increasingly relying on partners like UCT to fulfill their expanding capacity requirements. Additionally, our Services business is benefiting as device manufacturers rely on precision cleaning and coating to achieve ever more advanced devices.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure at the date of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to inventories, income taxes, business combinations, contingent earn-out liabilities and goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We consider certain accounting policies related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, accounting for income taxes, business combinations, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets to be critical policies due to the estimates and judgments involved in each.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and six month periodsmonths ended June 30, 2023March 29, 2024 compared to the same periodsperiod in the prior year is primarily attributable to changes in the geographic mix of worldwide earnings and financial results in jurisdictions which are taxed at different rates and the impact of losses in jurisdictions with full federal and state valuation allowances. The increase also reflects the impact of the expiration of a reduced tax rate incentive on a portion of our earnings in certain international subsidiaries and thus we are applying the local corporate statutory tax rate on those earnings. We are in the process of renewing the international tax incentive; when renewed will make an adjustment to its effective tax rate in that period.

Company management continuously evaluates the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and, as of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, concluded that a full valuation allowance on its federal, state and certain of its foreign deferred tax assets remained appropriate.

We believe we have sufficient capital to fund our working capital needs, satisfy our debt obligations, maintain our existing capital equipment, purchase new capital equipment and make strategic acquisitions from time to time. As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $320.8$293.0 million compared to $358.8$307.0 million as of December 30, 2022.29, 2023. Our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and amounts available under our revolving line of credit described below were our principal sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2023.

Fluid Solutions has an existing factoring arrangement with a financial institution in which a portion of its accounts receivable are sold on a non-recourse basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2023,As of March 29, 2024, Fluid Solutions factored $7.9$6.9 million under this arrangement.

We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents balance and operating cash flow will be sufficient to service our indebtedness and meet our working capital requirements and technology development projects for at least the next twelve months. The adequacy of these resources to meet our liquidity needs beyond that period will depend on our growth, the size and number of any acquisitions, the state of the worldwide economy, our ability to meet our financial covenants with our credit facility, the cyclical expansion or contraction of the semiconductor capital equipment industry and the other industries we serve and capital expenditures required to meet possible increased demand for our products.

In order to expand our business or acquire additional complementary businesses or technologies, we may need to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. If required, additional financing may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, our stockholders’ equity interest will be diluted and these securities might have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our current stockholders. We may also require the consent of our new lenders to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if available, such financing can be obtained on terms favorable to our stockholders and us.

As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, we have cash of approximately $222.3$204.0 million in our foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to determine the tax liability that might be incurred if the undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries were to be distributed. For undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries which are not considered indefinitely reinvested, deferred taxes have been accrued.

At March 31, 2021, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”), to the credit agreement dated as of August 27, 2018 and amended as of October 1, 2018 (as amended by the Second Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, (i) refinance and reprice $272.8 million of existing term B borrowings that will remain outstanding and (ii) obtain a $355.0 million senior secured incremental term loan B facility ((i) and (ii) collectively the “Term Loan”) with Barclays Bank, which increased the amount of term loan indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facilities.

The Term Loan has a maturity date of August 27, 2025, with monthly interest payments in arrears, quarterly principal payments of 0.625% of the outstanding principal balance as of March 31, 2021, with the remaining principal paid upon maturity.

On August 19, 2022, we entered into a Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the credit agreement dated as of August 27, 2018 and amended as of October 1, 2018 and March 31, 2021 (as amended by the Third Amendment, the "Credit Agreement") to, among other things, increase the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Facilities to $150.0 million with several banks and Barclays Bank as administrative agent.

The revolving credit facility has an available commitment of $150.0 million and a maturity date of February 27, 2025. The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee in arrears equal to 0.25% of the average daily available commitment outstanding. Outstanding letters of credit reduce the availability of the revolving credit facility and, as of June 30, 2023,29, 2024, the Company had $146.2an outstanding amount under the Term Loan of $475.4 million, gross of unamortized debt issuance costs of $5.5 million. As of March 29, 2024, the interest rate on the outstanding Term Loan was 9.2%.

As of March 29, 2024, the Company had $146.1 million, net of $3.8$3.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, available under this revolving credit facility.

The letter of credit facility has an available commitment of $65.0 million and a maturity date of August 27, 2025. The Company pays a quarterly fee in arrears equal to 2.5% (subject to certain adjustments to the Term Loan) of the dollar equivalent of all outstanding letters of credit, and a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the undrawn and unexpired amount of each letter of credit. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $3.8 million of outstanding letters of credit and $61.2 million of available commitments remaining under the letter of credit facility.

On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR-based reference interest rate option with a reference interest option based upon Term SOFR under the Credit Agreement.

- 29 -


Under the Credit Facilities, the Company may elect that the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either (a) “ABR” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus the applicable margin or (b) the “Eurodollar Rate” (as defined in the Credit Agreement), based on SOFR, plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Term Loan is equal to a rate per annum to either (i) at any time that the Company’s corporate family rating is Ba3 (with a stable outlook) or higher from Moody’s and BB- (with a stable outlook) or higher from S&P, (x) 3.50% for such Eurodollar term loans and (y) 2.50% for such ABR term loans or (ii) at all other times, (x) 3.75% for such Eurodollar term loans and (y) 2.75% for such ABR term loans. Interest on the Term Loan is payable on (1) in the case of such ABR term loans, the last day of each calendar quarter and (2) in the case of such Eurodollar term loans, the last day of each relevant interest period and, in the case of any interest period longer than three months, on each successive date three months after the first day of such interest period. On March 29, 2021, the Company elected that the Term Loan outstanding as of March 31, 2021 accrue interest based on the “Eurodollar Rate” for an initial interest period of one month. At June 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding amount under the Term Loan of $487.1 million, gross of unamortized debt issuance costs of $8.2 million. As of June 30, 2023, the interest rate on the outstanding Term Loan was 8.9%.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants including a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of at least 1.25 to 1.00, and a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of no greater than 3.75 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in default on the Credit Agreement related to the revolving credit facility due to the Company’s failure to satisfy a certain financial covenant under the Credit Agreement. On July 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Fifth Amendment (“Amended Credit Agreement”) to provide the Company with certain relief under the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and consolidated total gross leverage ratio maintenance covenants described in the Credit Agreement (the “Financial Covenant Adjustments”), which are applicable only to the revolving credit facility portion of its credit facilities. The Financial Covenant Adjustments are effective during the period commencing with the fiscal period ended June 30, 2023, through to the fiscal period ending December 31, 2024, subject to certain anti-cash hoarding and minimum liquidity requirements during such period. At the election of the Company, and subject to demonstrating compliance with certain financial ratio tests, the Financial Covenant Adjustments may terminate earlier than December 31, 2024. Upon termination of the Financial Covenant adjustments, such financial maintenance covenants will revert to the levels set forth in the existing Credit Agreement and the anti-cash hoarding and minimum liquidity requirements will no longer be applicable. The Company currently has no revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained within the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Company has a credit agreement with a local bank in the Czech Republic that provides for a revolving credit facility in the aggregate of up to 7.0 million euros (approximately $7.67.6 million). As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, no debt was outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

Fluid Solutions has credit facilities with various financial institutions in Israel that provides borrowings of up to $18.5$11.0 million. As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, Fluid Solutions had $6.0$5.3 million of outstanding debt with average interest rate ranges from 7.3%7.6% to 8.2%7.8%.

As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, the Company’s total bank debt was $484.9$475.2 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $8.2$5.5 million. As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, the Company had $146.2$146.1 million, $12.5$5.7 million and $7.6 million available to draw from our credit facilities in the U.S., Israel and Czech Republic, respectively.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were $47.0$18.0 million during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2023March 29, 2024 and were primarily attributable to the capital invested in our manufacturing facilities worldwide as well as costs associated with the ongoing design and implementation of our new enterprise resource planning system. The Company’s anticipated capital expenditures for the remainder of 20232024 are expected to be financed primarily from our cash flow generated from operations.

In conjunction with the sale of our products in the ordinary course of business, we provide standard indemnification against certain liabilities to our customers, which may include claims of losses by their own customers resulting out of property damages, bodily injuries or deaths, or infringement of intellectual property rights by our products. Our potential liability arising out of intellectual property infringement claims by any third party is generally uncapped. As of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, we have not incurred any significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification arrangements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these arrangements is minimal.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no significant changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk during the period covered by this report. Refer to Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 30, 2022,29, 2023, for a more complete discussion of the market risks we encounter.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined underin Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023,March 29, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that weredescribed below.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022.

Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for29, 2023, the fiscal year ended December 30, 2022, we previouslyCompany identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that continue to exist as of March 29, 2024.

The Company did not design and maintain effective controls relating to the: (i) sufficiency of processes related to identifying and analyzing risks to the achievement of objectives across the entity, (ii) sufficiency of competent personnel to analyze risks of material misstatement and develop internal control activities to support the achievement of the Company’s internal control objectives; and (iii) monitoring of performance of control activities in accordance with established policies in a timely manner.
These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:
(a) The Company did not design and maintain effective information technology (“IT”) general controls (“ITGCs”) overfor certain information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Specifically, for certain of the Fluid Solutions operating subsidiaries in the Products segment which have not been migrated to the Company’s primary ERP system, the Company did not design and maintain (a) program change management controls to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately, and (b) user access withincontrols to ensure appropriate segregation of duties that adequately restrict user and privileged access to our primary Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system, our primary revenue system for the Services segment,financial applications and related ERP access controls affecting the independent review of manual journal entry postings.data to appropriate company personnel. Business process controls that dependare dependent on information and data produced by systems affected by the affecteddeficiencies in IT general controls were deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted.
(b) The Company did not design and maintain effective application controls over certain information technology systems that are relevant to the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Specifically, for certain other international operating subsidiaries in the Products segment which have not been migrated to the Company’s primary ERP system, the Company did not design and maintain effective IT application controls or that depend onbusiness process controls including, but not limited to appropriate segregation of duties. The business process controls were deemed ineffective because they could have allowed for certain personnel to have incompatible duties allowing for the creation, review, and processing of certain transactions without independent review and authorization which affects substantially all financial statement account balances and disclosures within such subsidiaries;
(c) The Company did not design and maintain effective controls to determine the valuation of inventories, including the write down of inventory to its estimated market value less costs to sell and the validation and approval of inventory costing;
(d) The Company did not design effective controls necessary to validate the accuracy of certain data orused within the operation of controls which affects substantially all financial reports generated fromstatement account balances and disclosures; and
(e) The Company did not design and maintain effective controls related to the affected information systemsreview of cash flow forecasts used in the valuation of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination. Specifically, the control activities related to be accurate

Theseassumptions utilized to develop the cash flow forecasts used in the valuation of acquired intangible assets and contingent earn-out liabilities were not designed at an appropriate level of precision.

The material weaknesses described above did not result in any changes to previously released annual or interim financial results. However, these material weaknesses could result in misstatements of our consolidated financial statements that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or disclosures.detected. Based on additional procedures and post-closing review, management concluded that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Remediation Plan

Management has been executing and remains committed to implementing measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The following remediation actions are currently being implemented and are in progress:

Reviewing all ITGCsengaging an external advisor to identify opportunities to expand and/or automate controls to addressassist with evaluating and documenting the design and operationoperating effectiveness of ITGCs on systems supporting our financial processes.
internal controls and assist with the remediation of deficiencies, as necessary;
Enhancing training programs addressing ITGCshiring additional personnel to identify and policies,analyze risks of material misstatement, develop internal control activities to support the achievement of the Company’s internal control objectives, and monitor the effective performance of those control objectives;
designing and implementing effective controls for certain operating subsidiaries not yet migrated to our primary ERP system, including educating control owners concerning the principlescontrols over program changes and requirements of each control, with a focus on those related to user access over IT systems impacting financial reporting.
including segregation of duties;
Strengthening policy documentation underlying ITGCs.

As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficienciesthe material weaknesses or modify the remediation plans described above. We believe that these actions will remediate the material weaknesses, however the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls have operated for a sufficient period of time, in order to have sufficient samples to test. Management must conductand management has concluded, through testing, to conclude that these controls are designed and operating effectively. While Management believes that the aforementioned plans will effectively remediate the material weaknesses, prior to the end of fiscal 2023, there is no absolute assurance on the exact timing of the completion of the remediation. As the remediation plans continue to be implemented, management may be required to take additional measures or modify the plan elements described above due to the auditor’s review.
