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.
RevenueRevenues from product and services sales isare recognized when control of the goods or benefit of the service, is furnishedtransferred to the customer. Thiscustomer 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.

Based upon the nature of the products the Company sells, its customers have limited rights of return, and those presentthese rights are immaterial. Discounts provided by the Company to customers at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales asat the products are sold.time of the sale.
Warranty obligations associated with the sale of ourthe 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 behave 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 does requirerequires 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 the Accounting Standards Codification TopicASC 606 ("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
14

XPEL, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
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.
The Company incurredhas certain contingent liabilities in relationrelated to the 2021 acquisition of invisiFRAME Ltd. and the 2020 acquisition of Veloce Innovation.completed acquisitions. The paymentspayment 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):

We assessed the fair value of ourthese contingent consideration liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and reducedSeptember 30, 2022. This assessment resulted in a reduction in the carryingfair value of our Veloce-related contingentthe liability by $50,000.of $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 March 31,September 30, 2022. The remainder of theremaining decrease in our contingent liabilities is attributable to foreign currency fluctuations orand, for the nine-month period, the prior-quarter finalization of a different 2021 acquisition. Refer to non-finalized acquisition related valuations. These decreases are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and goodwill, respectively.Footnote 13 for discussion of valuation updates.

16


condensed consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report, including under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about future events affecting the Company and are subject to uncertainties and factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market as well as matters specific to the Company. These uncertainties and factors are difficult to predict, and many of them are beyond the Company’s control. Factors to consider when evaluating these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
We could be impacted by disruptions in supply.Our business is highly dependent on automotive sales and production volumes.
We currently rely on one distributor for sales of our products in China.
A material portion of our business is in China, which may be an unpredictable market and is currently suffering trade tensions with the U.S.
We must continue to attract, retain and develop key personnel.
We could be impacted by disruptions in supply.
Our accounting estimates and risk management processes rely on assumptions or models that may prove inaccurate.
We must maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting to keep stockholder confidence.
Our industry is highly competitive.
Our business is highly dependent on automotive sales and production volumes.
Our North American market is currently designed for the public’s use of car dealerships to purchase automobiles which may dramatically change.
16


Our revenue could be impacted by growing use of ride-sharing or other alternate forms of car ownership.
We must be effective in developing new lines of business and new products to maintain growth.
Any disruptions in our relationships with independent installers and new car dealerships could harm our sales.
Our strategy related to acquisitions and investments could be unsuccessful or consume significant resources.
We must maintain and grow our network of sales, distribution channels and customer base to be successful.

We must continue to manage our rapid growth effectively.
We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business, including product liability and warranty claims.

We may seek to incur substantial indebtedness in the future.
Our growth may be dependent on the availability of capital and funding.
Our Common Stock could decline or be downgraded at any time.
Our stock price has been, and may continue to be, volatile.
We may issue additional equity securities that may affect the priority of our Common Stock.
We do not currently pay dividends on our Common Stock.
Shares eligible for future sale may depress our stock price.
Anti-takeover provisions could make a third party acquisition of our Company difficult.
Our directors and officers have substantial control over us.
17


Our bylaws may limit investors’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.
The COVID-19 pandemic could materially affect our business.
Our business faces unpredictable global, economic and business conditions, including the risk of inflation in various markets.
We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause estimates included in our financial statements to differ materially from actual results and those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf.  We have discussed these factors in more detail in in the Annual Report. These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on actual results. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. We advise our shareholders that they should (1) be aware that factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution when considering our forward-looking statements.
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.
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:
2014 - We began our international expansion by establishing an office in the United Kingdom.
2015 - We acquired Parasol Canada, a distributor of our products in Canada.
2016 - We opened our XPEL Netherlands office and established our European headquarters
2017
We continued our international expansion with the acquisition of Protex Canada Corp., or Protex Canada, a leading franchisor of automotive protective film franchises serving Canada, and
We opened our XPEL Mexico office.
2018
18


We launched our first product offering outside of the automotive industry, a window and security film protection for commercial and residential uses.
We introduced the next generation of our highly successful ULTIMATE line, ULTIMATE PLUS.
We acquired Apogee Corporation which led to formation of XPEL Asia based in Taiwan.
2019
We were approved for the listing of our stock on Nasdaq trading under the symbol “XPEL”.
2020
We acquired Protex Centre, a wholesale-focused paint protection installation business based in Montreal, Canada.
We expanded our presence in France with the acquisition of certain assets of France Auto Racing.
We expanded our architectural window film presence with the acquisition of Houston based Veloce Innovation, a leading provider of architectural films for use in residential, commercial, marine and industrial settings.
2021
We expanded our presence into numerous automotive dealerships throughout the United States with the acquisition of PermaPlate Film, LLC, a wholesale-focused
18


automotive window film installation and distribution business based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
We acquired five businesses in the United States and Canada from two sellers as a continuation of our acquisition strategy. These acquisitions allowed us to continue to increase our penetration into mid-range dealerships in the US and solidify our presence in Western Canada.
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 includes establishing a local presence where possible, allowing us to better control the delivery of our products and services. We will 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 pursuing 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 our 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 centers 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.
19


objective, and we have continued this trend with an October 2022 acquisition in Australia.
We continue to drive expansion of our non-automotive product portfolio. Our architectural window film segment continues to gain traction. We believe there are multiple uses for protective films and we continue to explore those adjacent market opportunities.

Trends and Uncertainties
We continueBroad uncertainty remains as to see strong recovery from COVID-19. Revenuethe lingering global business impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While our revenue has continued to increase in most of our major markets, as it has since early in the pandemic. Despite continued positive trends, the long-term effects of the pandemic on our financial resultsmarket disruptions in future periods cannot reasonably be estimated, and they could be significant. The COVID-19 pandemic still poses the risks of substantial volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption.have a material impact on our business. See the risk factor “The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations” included in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report for 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 predict the continuing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our customers and suppliers or our own operations and financial results. Despite the reduction of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing recovery of our operations, significant uncertainty still exists concerning the magnitude of the residual impact of the pandemic. Additionally, automotiveAutomotive sales and production are highly cyclical, and the cyclical nature of the industry has been, and could continue to be, compounded by the pandemic. As demand for automotive products fluctuates or decreases,on-going low inventories of new vehicles resulting primarily from the demand for our products may also fluctuate or decrease. Automotive manufacturers also continue to experience a global semiconductor shortage which has affected production of vehicles and, in turn, available inventory at dealerships. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, inventory at dealerships remained at low levels.shortage. As long as the semiconductor shortage persists and leads to low dealership inventories, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Refer to 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 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 and automotive salesthe foregoing matters and adjust our operations according to guidelines form local, state and federal officials. In light of the foregoing, we may take actions that alter our business operations or that we determine are in the best interest of our employees, customers, suppliers and stockholders.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 our products and services. See risk factor "General global economic and business conditions affect demand for our products" included in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As more fully described in Part I, Item 1A-Risk Factors, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the entrotech agreement terminated on March 21, 2022. Effective October 1, 2022, the Company entered into a new three-year supply 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 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
20


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 plus (a) total depreciation and amortization, (b) interest expense, net, and (c) income tax expense.

The following table is a reconciliation of Net incomeIncome to EBITDA for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2022 and 2021:2021 (dollars in thousands):

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 as alternatives to revenue or net income, 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.

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. As a result, the current estimates of the potential impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the proceedings and claims described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements could change in the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item IA of the Annual Report, except as noted below:
The Annual Report included a risk factor entitled “A material disruption from our suppliers, or our inability to obtain a sufficient supply of product from alternate suppliers could cause us to be unable to meet customer 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.
We have operations or activities in numerous countries and market-regions throughout the world. As a result, our global financial results are affected by economic, political and other conditions in the global economy as well as in the United States. Economic conditions in several of our markets are increasingly experiencing increasing inflation which could impact the demand for our products. This could significantly impact our future financial results.
