Segment Reporting - Management has concluded that XPEL's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Company's chief executive officer. The Company’s CODM reviews the entire organization’s consolidated results as a whole on a monthly basis to evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions. Management views the Company’s operations and manages its business as 1one operating segment.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity to U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $191,804$0.4 million and $90,844$0.3 million as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowances by analyzing the aging of receivables, customer financial condition, historical collection experience, the value of any collateral and other economic and industry factors. Actual collections may differ from historical experience, and if economic, business or customer conditions deteriorate significantly, adjustments to these reserves may be required. When the Company becomes aware of factors that indicate a change in a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific reserve for credit losses. The Company had no significant accounts receivable concentration as of September 30, 2021. At2022 or December 31, 2020, receivable balances from two large customers accounted for 24.7% of the Company's total trade receivables.2021.
Provisions and Warranties - We provide a warranty on the Company's products. Liability under the warranty policy is based on a review of historical warranty claims.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company has adopted this ASU without a material change to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023 and is required to be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company'sour consolidated financial statements.

3.    REVENUE
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods and services to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This is achieved through applying the following five-step model:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Determination of the transaction price
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from contracts with customers, whether formal or implied. Sales taxes collected from customers are remitted to the appropriate taxing jurisdictions and are excluded from sales revenue as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for

collecting and remitting sales taxes, with the exception of taxes assessed during the procurement process of select inventories. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Revenues from product and services sales are recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer which occurs at a point in time, typically upon shipment to the customer or completion of the service. This standard applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, collaboration arrangements and financial instruments.

XPEL, Inc.

Based upon the nature of the products the Company sells, its customers have limited rights of return, and these rights are immaterial. Discounts provided by the Company to customers at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales at the time of the sale.
Warranty obligations associated with the sale of the Company's products are assurance-type warranties that are a guarantee of the product’s intended functionality and, therefore, do not represent a distinct performance obligation within the context of the contract. Warranty expense is included in cost of sales.
We apply a practical expedient to expense direct costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Under its contracts with customers, the Company stands ready to deliver product upon receipt of a customer's purchase order. Accordingly, the Company has no performance obligations under its contracts until its customers submit a purchase order. The Company does not enter into commitments to provide goods or services that have terms greater than one year. In limited cases, the Company requires payment in advance of shipping product. Typically, product is shipped within a few days after prepayment is received. These prepayments are recorded as contract liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (Note 9). As the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of less than one year, the Company has applied the practical expedient under ASC 606 to omit disclosures regarding remaining performance obligations.
When the Company transfers goods or provides services to a customer, payment is due, subject to normal terms, and is not conditional on anything other than the passage of time. Typical payment terms range from due upon receipt to 30 days, depending on the type of customer and relationship. At contract inception, the Company expects that the period of time between the transfer of goods to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods will be less than one year, which is consistent with the Company’s standard payment terms. Accordingly, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 606 to not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. As such, these amounts are recorded as receivables and not contract assets.

10.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly, including: quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data and require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our line of credit, and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, our line of credit, and short-term borrowings approximate fair value because of the near-term maturities of these

financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term nature and interest rates of the notes. The carrying value of the Company's long-term debt approximates fair value due to the interest rates being market rates.
The estimated fair value of debt is based on market quotes for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs and valuation techniques).maturities.
The Company incurredhas certain contingent liabilities in relationrelated to one of its 2020completed acquisitions. The payment of these liabilities is contingent on attainment of certain revenue performance metrics in future years. The fair value of these liabilities was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulationsimulation method based on the probability and timing of certain future payments related to these metrics. These liabilities are accounted for as Level 3 liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.
Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates noted below are as follows:follows (in thousands):

Level 3:Level 3:Level 3:
Contingent Liabilities Contingent Liabilities$334,630 $571,833  Contingent Liabilities$858 $2,665 
We assessed the fair value of these contingent considerationsconsideration liabilities as of September 30, 2021.2022. This assessment resulted in a reduction in the fair value of the liability of $237,203.$0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. This reduction is reflected in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022. The remaining decrease in our contingent liabilities is attributable to foreign currency fluctuations and, for the nine-month period, the prior-quarter finalization of a different 2021 acquisition.

Company Overview
Founded in 1997 and incorporated in Nevada in 2003, XPEL has grown from an automotive product design software company to a global provider of after-market automotive products, including automotive surface and paint protection, headlight protection, and automotive window films, as well as a provider of complementary proprietary software. In 2018, we expanded our product offerings to include architectural
17


window film (both commercial and residential) and security film protection for commercial and residential uses, and in 2019 we further expanded our product line to include automotive ceramic coatings.
XPEL began as a software company designing vehicle patterns used to produce cut-to-fit protective film for the painted surfaces of automobiles. In 2007, we began selling automotive surface and paint protection film products to complement our software business. In 2011, we introduced our ULTIMATE protective film product line which, at the time, was the industry’s first protective film with self-healing properties. The ULTIMATE technology allows the protective film to better absorb the impacts from rocks or other road debris, thereby fully protecting the painted surface of a vehicle. The film is described as “self-healing” due to its ability to return to its original state after damage from surface scratches.

The launch of the ULTIMATE product catapulted XPEL into several years of strong revenue growth. In
Our over-arching strategic philosophy centers around our view that being closer to the end customer in terms of our channel strategy affords us a better opportunity to efficiently introduce new products and deliver tremendous value which, in turn, drives more revenue growth for the Company. Since 2014, we have executed on several strategic initiatives including:

We acquired invisiFRAME, Ltd, a designer and manufacturer of paint protection film patterns for bicycles, thus further expanding our non-automotive offerings.

Strategic Overview
XPEL is currently pursuing several key strategic initiatives to drive continued growth. Our global expansion strategy focuses on the need to establishincludes establishing a local presence where possible, allowing us to better control the delivery of our products and services. In furtherance of this approach, we established our European headquarters in early 2017 to capture market share in what we believed to be an under-penetrated region. We are continuingwill continue to add locally based regional sales personnel, leveraging local knowledge and relationships to expand the markets in which we operate.
We seek to increase global brand awareness in strategically important areas, including seekingpursuing high visibility at premium events such as major car shows and high value placement in advertising media consumed by car enthusiasts, to help further expand the Company’s premium brand.
XPEL also continues to expand its delivery channels by acquiring select installation facilities in key markets and acquiring international partners to enhance itsour global reach. As we expand globally, we strive to tailor our distribution model to adapt to target markets. We believe this flexibility allows us to penetrate and grow market share more efficiently. Our acquisition strategy is foundedcenters on our belief that the closer the Company is to its end customers, the greater its ability to drive increased product sales. In our last fiscal year, we acquired several businesses serving multiple markets in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, in furtherance of this objective, and we have continued this trend with an October 2022 acquisition in Australia.
We also continue to drive expansion of our non-automotive product portfolio. The Company launched its new commercial/residentialOur architectural window film product line in 2018, giving us accesssegment continues to a large newgain traction. We believe there are multiple uses for protective films and we continue to explore those adjacent market and representing the first non-automotive product line in XPEL’s history. While there is some overlap with our existing customers, we believe that this product line exposes the Company to several new addressable markets.opportunities.

further discussion of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As we look ahead, we are unable to determine or predict the continuing impact the COVID-19 pandemic or potential global supply chain interruptions will have on our customers, vendors and suppliers or our business; nor can we predict its impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Despite the gradual reduction of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the apparent recovery of our operations, significant uncertainty still exists concerning the overall magnitude of the impact and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic implications, particularly given the recent increase in COVID-19 related illnesses. For example, automotiveAutomotive sales and production are highly cyclical, and the cyclical nature of the industry has been, and could continue to be, compounded by the fallouton-going low inventories of COVID-19. As supply and demand for automotive products fluctuates or decreases in this unusual business environment,new vehicles resulting primarily from the demand for our products may also fluctuate or decrease. Some automotive manufacturers have announced that they are experiencing a global semiconductor shortage. As long as the semiconductor shortage which has affected production of vehicles resulting inpersists and leads to low inventories. While we have yet to see a significant impact on the Company's core business, low car dealership inventories, have had an impact on the PermaPlate Films' business that we acquired in the second quarter this year. To the extent that this shortage persists and/or begins to impact our core business, itthere could havebe a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditionscondition and results of operations. Refer to "Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors"the risk factor ‘We are highly dependent on the automotive industry. A prolonged or material contraction in automotive sales and production volumes could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional considerationdiscussion of
19


the cyclical nature of the automotive industry. We will continue to closely monitor updates regarding the continuing impact of COVID-19, global supply chain challengesthe foregoing matters and automotive sales, and we will adjust our operations accordingly.
Various geographies in which we operate, including the United States, are experiencing an increasing inflationary environment. We are actively monitoring the broader economic impact of inflation on the demand for changes our products and services. See risk factor "General global economic and business conditions affect demand for our products" included in those factors.
We and our suppliers depend on various components, compounds and raw materials supplied by others for the manufacturing of our products. While we have not experienced disruptions, supplier relationships could be interruptedPart I, Item 1A-Risk Factors, in the future due to material shortages, natural and other disasters and other disruptive events, or be terminated. Any sustained interruptionAnnual Report on Form 10-K.
As more fully described in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors, in the Company’s receipt of adequate supplies or operations due to natural and other disasters or events could haveAnnual Report on Form 10-K, the entrotech agreement terminated on March 21, 2022. Effective October 1, 2022, the Company entered into a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, disruptions in the global economy in 2020 and the lingering impacts into 2021 have resulted in inflationary cost increases in certain raw materials, labor and transportation. We expect these inflationary trends to continue for some time, and while we believe that we will be able to somewhat offset the impact, there can be no assurances that unforeseen future events in the globalnew three-year supply chain, and inflationary pressures, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.agreement with entrotech under commercially reasonable terms.

Key Business Metric - Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management regularly monitors certain financial measures to track the progress of our business against internal goals and targets. We believe that the most important measure to the Company is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)("EBITDA").
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe EBITDA provides helpful information with respect to our operating performance as viewed by management, including a view of our business that is not dependent on (i) the impact of our capitalization structure and (ii) items that are not part of our day-to-day operations. Management uses EBITDA (1) to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis, (2) to calculate incentive compensation for our employees, (3) for planning purposes including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget, (4) to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies, and (5) to assess compliance with various metrics associated with the agreements governing our indebtedness. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information in understanding and evaluating our operating performance in the same manner as management. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (a) total depreciation and amortization, (b) interest expense, net, and (c) income tax expense.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. It is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP
20


and should not be considered an alternativeas alternatives to revenue or net income, (loss), as applicable, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other businesses. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We have established and maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)("Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have each concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that 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 our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

While we believe that a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows from any such future claims or potential claims is unlikely, given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, it is possible that an unforeseen future adverse ruling or unfavorable development could result in future charges that could have a material adverse impact. We do and will continue to periodically reexamine our estimates of probable liabilities and any associated expenses and receivables and make appropriate adjustments to such estimates based on experience and developments in litigation.

In additionThere have been no material changes to the other information set forthrisk factors disclosed in this report, you should carefully considerPart I, Item IA of the factors discussed in “Item 1A Risk Factors” inAnnual Report, except as noted below:
The Annual Report included a risk factor entitled “A material disruption from our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2021, whichsuppliers, or our inability to obtain a sufficient supply of product from alternate suppliers could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2021 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known tocause us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The global pandemic resulting from the outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted global health, economic and market conditions, consumer behavior and the Company's global operations beginning in early 2020. We cannot predict how the pandemic will continue to develop or to what extent the pandemic may have longer term unanticipated impacts on our global operations.
The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences, and social distancing measures), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, vendors, and suppliers. Work-from-home and other measures introduce additional operational risks, including cybersecurity risks, and have affected the way we conduct our product development, validation, and qualification, customer support, and other activities, which could have an adverse effect on our operations. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and illness and workforce disruptions could lead to unavailability of key personnel and harm our ability to perform critical functions.
Fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, equipment, labor and transportation could cause manufacturing delays, increase our costs and/or impact our abilityunable to meet customer demand.demand or increase our costs.” In that risk factor, we disclosed that our supply agreement with our primary supplier, entrotech, Inc. would terminate on March 21, 2022 and that we intended to enter into a new supply agreement with entrotech. Effective October 1, 2022, we entered into a new supply agreement with entrotech on commercially reasonable terms.

As a result, our products may fluctuate significantly.
