The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are generally based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount.
Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit.to be benefited. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 "Business Combinations"“Business Combinations” and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 "Intangible -“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other"Other” and ASC 360 "Property,“Property, Plant and Equipment".Equipment.”

Revenue Recognition
Product revenue is recognized from contracts with customers when a customer has obtained control of a product. The Company considers control to have transferred based upon shipping terms. To the extent the Company’s arrangements have a separate performance obligation, revenue related to any
- 8 -

(In thousands, except share data, unless otherwise stated)

post-shipment performance obligation is deferred until completed. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is a component of cost of sales. Certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the end customer. Revenue is recognized on these distributor arrangements upon transfer of control to the distributor. Contracts do not contain variable pricing arrangements that are retrospective, except for rebate programs. Rebates are estimated based on expected sales volumes and offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. The related provisions for estimated returns and rebates are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
Certain of the Company’s product arrangements include separate performance obligations, primarily related to installation. Such performance obligations are accounted for separately when the deliverables have stand-alone value and the satisfaction of the undelivered performance obligations is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the performance obligations is based on the observable stand-alone selling prices at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install, and geographic location.
Software is generally not considered a distinct performance obligation with the exception of a few small software applications. The Company generally does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the product. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification, or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products.
Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Revenue from spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or delivery. Revenue from service contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period using a time-based method. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification, and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period.

Employee Termination Benefits
In situations where contractual termination benefits exist, the Company records accruals for employee termination benefits when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimable. All other employee termination arrangements are recognized and measured at their fair value at the communication date unless the employee is required to render additional service afterbeyond the legal notification period, in which case the liability is recognized ratably over the future service period.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $4.7$4.5 million and $13.9$4.6 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, compared to $4.4 million and $13.2 million for the corresponding periods in 2020.
On May 6, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved the adoption of the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated), with the effect that approximately 0.9 million additional shares of common stock were added to the 2.1 million shares that remained available under the plan prior to its amendment. In addition, shares subject to options granted under the Company's prior equity incentive plan that terminate or are forfeited without being exercised, are also available for awards under the amended plan. The amended plan expires in 2031.respectively.

The results of each acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated results as of the acquisition date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01: Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR or another referenced rate. The guidance may be applied to any applicable contract entered into before December 31, 2022. The Company's interest rate and cross currency swaps, as mentioned in Note 54 to the consolidated financial statements, are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA")(ISDA) agreements, and the Company adhereswill adhere to the ISDA's fallback protocol when LIBOR is discontinued.

Company renewed the LIBOR basedLIBOR-based credit agreement, as discussed further in Note 8,10 of the Annual Report Form 10-K, which includes a fallback protocol when LIBOR is discontinued. Based on these procedures, when LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate and cross currency swaps will not require de-designation if certain criteria are met. The Company expects the financial impact of the rate change when LIBOR is discontinued to be immaterial to its financial statements.

In most cases, after appropriate credit evaluations, payments are due in arrears and are recognized as receivables. Unbilled revenue is recorded when performance obligations have been satisfied, but not yet billed to the customer. Unbilled revenue as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 was $37.3$33.9 million and $22.6$32.1 million, respectively, and is included within accounts receivable. Deferred revenue and customer prepayments are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied. Deferred revenue primarily includes prepaid service contracts, as well as deferred installation.

4.    ACQUISITIONS

In March 2021, the Company acquired all the membership interests of Mayfair Technology, LLC, ("PendoTECH") a manufacturer and distributor of single-use sensors, transmitters, control systems and software for measuring, monitoring and data collection primarily in bioprocess applications. PendoTECH serves bio-pharmaceutical manufacturers and life science laboratories and is located in the United States. The initial cash payment was $185.0 million and the Company may be required to pay additional consideration of up to $20.0 million and other post-closing amounts. The additional consideration is based upon financial thresholds in 2022 and 2023. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation at the time of acquisition of $13.5 million was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the Company's forecast of future financial results.
Goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition totaled $93.1 million, which is deductible for tax purposes. Identified intangible finite-life assets acquired include customer relationships of $78.6 million, technology and patents of $21.7 million, trade name of $3.4 million, and other intangibles of $2.4 million. The Company used variations of the income statement approach in determining the fair value of the intangible assets acquired. Specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method was used to determine the fair value of the customer relationships acquired and the relief from royalty method was used to determine the fair value of the technology and patents. The Company's determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions principally related to revenue growth, royalty and customer attrition rates.
The identifiable finite-live intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 5 to 20 years and the annual aggregate amortization expense is estimated at $6.9 million. Net tangible assets acquired were $7.4 million and were recorded at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. All of the acquired assets are included in the Company's U.S. Operations segment.

5.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
At September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had derivative assets totaling $6.9$8.3 million and $2.2$6.0 million, respectively, and derivative liabilities totaling $5.9 million and $23.3$10.3 million, respectively. The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and therefore does not need to present all the required disclosures in tabular format. The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements, the cross-currencycross currency swap agreements, and the foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge short-term intercompany balances are estimated based upon inputs from current valuation information obtained from dealer quotes and priced with observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments for credit risk. The Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values by dealers in order to determine whether such valuations are representative of an exit price in the Company’s principal market. In addition, the Company uses an internally developed model to perform testing on the valuations received from brokers. The Company has also considered both its own credit risk and counterparty credit risk in determining fair value and determined these adjustments were insignificant at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020.
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration obligation of $13.5 million relating to the PendoTECH acquisition was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the Company's forecast of future financial results. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement.2021.
Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement consists of observable and unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A fair value hierarchy has been established that categorizes these inputs into three levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3: Unobservable inputs
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are all categorized as Level 2 and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities which are categorized as Level 1.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.
General
Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.2022.
Changes in local currencycurrencies exclude the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Local currency amounts are determined by translating current and previous year consolidated financial information at an index utilizing historical currency exchange rates. We believe local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We present non-GAAP financial measures in reporting our financial results to provide investors with an additional analytical tool to evaluate our operating results.
We also include in the discussion below disclosures of immaterial qualitative factors that are not quantified. Although the impact of such factors is not considered material, we believe these disclosures can be useful in evaluating our operating results.
COVID-19
The ongoingSince late 2019, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic (COVID-19) has resulted in millions of confirmed cases throughout the world andspread globally in all countries where we conduct business. The outbreak caused many governmentsCOVID-19 pandemic is evolving and has led to implementthe implementation of various responses, including government-imposed quarantines, stay-at-home orders quarantines, and significantlockdowns, travel restrictions, on travel. During the course of the ongoing pandemic, several governments implemented work restrictions that prohibited many employees from going to their customary work locationsvaccination and that required these employees to work remotely when possible.testing requirements, and other public health safety measures. These restrictions continue to change as the COVID-19 situation evolves, variants and subvariants are discovered, and vaccinations and booster doses are distributed in each country and region, considering local circumstances relatedregion. The emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in late 2021 and, more recently, the emergence of the subvariant Omicron BA.2 have presented particular challenges to vaccine availability, population vaccination rates,the global economy given the high level of transmissibility, which can cause many people to be affected at the same time or over a short period of time, leading to potential disruptions that could more significantly impact our business and emerging variant strainssupply chain. For example, China recently instituted increased lockdowns in certain cities such as Shanghai, where we conduct a certain portion of our business (including manufacturing), as part of the government's response to rising COVID-19 outbreaks. We continue to monitor and comply with all global restrictions and requirements relating to COVID-19.
The health and safety of our employees and business partners have been our highest priority throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and we have implemented several preventative and protective measures. We also have also continued to support our customers with their essential businesses, such as life sciences, food manufacturing, chemicals (e.g., sanitizers, disinfectants, soaps, etc.), food retail, and transportation and logistics.
Our production and logistics facilities are currently operational, and our office-based employees continue to adhere to any applicable jurisdictional lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. Our supply chain is currently facing wide-ranging global challenges, although we have been able to meet delivery requirements of our customers with some interruption. We continue to closely monitor risks associated with our supply chain, including the recent lockdowns in China, availability of certain components, material shortages, supplier delays, potential transportation delays, and higher transportation and material costs, which could significantly adversely affect sales and/or profitability in future quarters. We also continue to leverage our digital and remote sales capabilitiescapabilities, and our service organization continues to provide on-site and remote customer support to facilitate uptime, productivity, and regulatory compliance.

Recent Developments in Ukraine
In 2021, approximately 1% of our net sales were in Russia and Ukraine, and we have an immaterial amount of assets and liabilities in both countries as of March 31, 2022. We also do not have manufacturing in Russia or Ukraine.
We remain in constant contact with our employees in Ukraine and have provided financial assistance and supplies as they seek safety. We also have suspended all shipments to Russia since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In addition, the U.S., the European Union, and certain other countries imposed economic sanctions on Russian financial institutions, businesses in Russia, and on Russian interests and individuals, and the Russian government is implementing sanctions and regulations in response.
While it is difficult to estimate the impact of the ongoing invasion on the global economy, including increased inflation and higher energy and transportation costs, the invasion of Ukraine could adversely impact our financial results and presents several risks to our business as further described in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report. Uncertainties related to this conflict and the resulting impact to the global economy and market conditions can change quickly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet our obligations and commitments. Sources ofIn addition, liquidity includes cash flows from operating activities, available borrowings under our Credit Agreement, the ability to obtain appropriate financing and our cash and cash equivalent balances. Currently, our financing requirementsliquidity needs are primarily driven by working capital requirements, capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions.

Effect of Currency on Results of Operations
Our earnings are affected by changes inchanging exchange rates. We are most sensitive to changes in the exchange rates between the Swiss franc, euro, Chinese renminbi, and U.S. dollar. We have more Swiss franc expenses than we do Swiss franc sales because we develop and manufacture products in Switzerland that we sell globally, and have a number of corporate functions located in Switzerland. When the Swiss franc strengthens against our other trading currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar and euro, our earnings decrease. We also have significantly more sales in the euro than we do expenses. When the euro weakens against the U.S. dollar and Swiss franc, our earnings also decrease. We estimate a 1% strengthening of the Swiss franc against the euro would reduce our earnings before tax by approximately $1.8approximately $1.9 million to $2.0$2.1 million annually.
We also conduct business in many geographies throughout the world, including Asia Pacific, the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Canada. Fluctuations in these currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar can also affect our operating results. The most significant of these currency exposures is the Chinese renminbi.

In addition to the effects of exchange rate movements on operating profits, our debt levels can fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar, and the Swiss franc.franc, and euro. Based on our outstanding debt at September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we estimate that a 5% weakening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies in which our debt is denominated would result in an increase of approximately $35.8$30.7 million in the reported U.S. dollar value of our debt.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 there were no material changes from risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021, except the following addition of a new Risk Factor under the existing subheading, Legal, Tax, Regulatory, and Other Risks.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions and export controls targeting Russia and other global governmental responses to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine could adversely impact our business and financial results.
The invasion has led to disruption, increased costs (such as energy and transportation), instability, and volatility in global markets. Since the beginning of the invasion, we also have suspended all shipments to Russia. In addition, the U.S. and other countries in which we operate have imposed sanctions and export controls on Russian financial institutions, businesses in Russia, and on Russian interests and individuals; and the Russian government is implementing sanctions and regulations in response.
In 2021, approximately 1% of our net sales were in Russia and Ukraine, and we have an immaterial amount of assets and liabilities in both countries. We also do not have manufacturing in Russia or Ukraine.
The invasion of Ukraine and sanctions issued on Russian financial institutions, businesses in Russia, and on Russian interests and individuals, and retaliatory measures by Russia in response, such as restrictions on energy supplies from Russia to countries in which we operate, could adversely impact our operations and financial results. We continue to monitor this situation as it evolves in order to assess the potential impacts on our business and the safety and well-being of our affected employees. The impact of these events on global economic conditions is currently unknown and, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
