BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION	1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION Allient Inc. (“Allient”) or (“The Company”) is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, and selling precision motion, control, power and structural composites to provide integrated system solutions as well as individual products, to a broad spectrum of customers throughout the world primarily for the industrial, vehicle, medical, and aerospace and defense markets. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using end of period exchange rates. Changes in reported amounts of assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries that occur as a result of changes in exchange rates between the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies and the U.S. dollar are included in foreign currency translation adjustment. Foreign currency translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Revenue and expense transactions use an average rate prevailing during the month of the related transaction. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each of the foreign subsidiaries are included in the results of operations as incurred in other expense, net. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial data for the interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for the year. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. It is suggested that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to such statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 that was previously filed by the Company. ​ ​

ACQUISITIONS

ACQUISITIONS
ACQUISITIONS	2. ACQUISITIONS On January 11, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of SNC Manufacturing Co., Inc. (a Wisconsin corporation) and Acutran de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (a Mexican corporation), (collectively “SNC”), a premier designer and global manufacturer of electrical transformers serving blue-chip customers in defense, industrial automation, alternative power generation and energy, including electric utilities and renewable energy. ​ The initial purchase price consisted of $20.0 million in cash paid at closing, subject to customary post-closing working capital adjustments. The purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments based on a final determination of closing net working capital and certain tax matters. ​ The Company incurred $0.3 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in business development on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. ​ The operating results of the acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the date of the acquisition. Revenue of SNC included within the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash and cash equivalents $ 881 Trade receivables ​ ​ 3,467 Inventories ​ ​ 9,200 Prepaid expenses and other assets ​ 496 Property, plant, and equipment ​ 4,258 Operating lease assets ​ ​ 378 Intangible assets ​ ​ 2,800 Goodwill ​ 2,752 Other current liabilities ​ ​ (3,188) Deferred revenue ​ ​ (55) Operating lease liabilities ​ ​ (378) Net deferred income tax liabilities ​ ​ (702) Other noncurrent liabilities ​ ​ (118) Net purchase price ​ $ 19,791 ​ The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired were determined using one of three valuation approaches: market, income or cost. The selection of a particular method for a given asset depended on the reliability of available data and the nature of the asset, among other considerations. The market approach estimates the value for a subject asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets. The income approach estimates the value for a subject asset based on the present value of cash flows projected to be generated by the asset. The projected cash flows were discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the asset and the time value of money. The projected cash flows for each asset considered multiple factors from the perspective of a marketplace participant including revenue projections from existing customers, attrition trends, technology life-cycle assumptions, marginal tax rates and expected profit margins considering historical and expected margins. The cost approach estimates the value for a subject asset based on the cost to replace the asset and reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the asset, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation or obsolescence, with specific consideration given to economic obsolescence if indicated. These fair value measurement approaches are based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions. ​ The intangible assets acquired consist of $1,400 of customers lists, $600 of trade name, and $800 of technology, which are being amortized over 12, 10, and 10 years , respectively. Goodwill generated is related to the assembled workforce, synergies between Allient’s other operations and SNC that are expected to occur as a result of the combined engineering knowledge, the ability of each of the operations to integrate each other’s products into more fully integrated system solutions, and Allient’s ability to utilize SNC’s management knowledge in providing complementary product offerings to the Company’s customers. ​ The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not tax deductible. ​ On September 22, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest in Sierramotion Inc. (“Sierramotion”), a company headquartered in California, that specializes in designing and engineering turn-key motion components and mechatronic solutions for robotic, medical, industrial, defense, semiconductor, and other precision applications. The preliminary purchase price for Sierramotion of million included contingent consideration payable which was paid in the first quarter of 2024 (see Note 12 for breakout of payment) and at closing consisted of a combination of cash and Company stock. The intangible assets and goodwill are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to adjustments based on a determination of closing net working capital and certain tax matters. Transaction costs for the acquisition were not material. The operating results of this acquisition are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date and the revenue and earnings in the current year periods presented are not material. ​ On January 3, 2024, the final deferred acquisition payment for Spectrum of $12,500 (comprised of 50% cash and 50% Company stock) was paid. ​ The following pro forma financial information presents the combined resulted of operations if the SNC acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2023 and the Sierramotion acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2022: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended ​ ​ Three months ended ​ ​ ​ March 31, ​ March 31, ​ ​ 2024 2023 ​ Revenues ​ $ 148,007 ​ $ 155,747 ​ Income before income taxes ​ $ 9,444 ​ $ 8,286 ​ ​ The pro forma information includes certain adjustments, including depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, and certain other adjustments, together with related income tax effects. The pro forma amounts do not reflect adjustments for anticipated operating efficiencies that the Company expected to or has subsequently achieved as a result of these acquisitions. The pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and does not purport to present what the Company’s results would have been had these transactions occurred on the date presented or to project the combined company’s results of operations or financial position for future periods.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

REVENUE RECOGNITION	3 Months Ended

REVENUE RECOGNITION
REVENUE RECOGNITION	3. REVENUE RECOGNITION Performance Obligations The Company considers control of most products to transfer at a single point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally when the products are shipped in accordance with an agreement and/or purchase order. Control is defined as the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the product. The Company satisfies its performance obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods and services in exchange for monetary consideration from the customer. The Company considers the customer’s purchase order, and the Company’s corresponding sales order acknowledgment as the contract with the customer. For some customers, control, and a sale, is transferred at a point in time when the product is delivered to a customer. For a limited number of contracts, for which revenue derived is not material in the periods presented, the Company recognizes revenue over time in proportion to costs incurred. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Nature of Goods and Services The Company designs, manufactures, and sells precision motion, control, power, and structural components to provide integrated system solutions as well as individual products to end customers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEM’s”) through the Company’s own direct sales force and authorized manufacturers’ representatives and distributors. The Company’s products include brushed and brushless DC motors, brushless servo and torque motors, coreless DC motors, integrated brushless motor-drives, gearmotors, gearing, modular digital servo drives, motion controllers, incremental and absolute optical encoders, active and passive filters for power quality and harmonic issues, transformers, and other controlled motion-related products. The Company’s target markets include Industrial, Vehicle, Medical, and Aerospace & Defense Determining the Transaction Price The majority of the Company’s contracts have an original duration of less than one year. For these contracts, the Company applies the practical expedient and therefore does not consider the effects of the time value of money. For multiyear contracts, the Company uses judgment to determine whether there is a significant financing component. These contracts are generally those in which the customer has made an up-front payment. Contracts that management determines to include a significant financing component are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company incurs interest expense and accrues a contract liability. As the Company satisfies performance obligations and recognizes revenue from these contracts, interest expense is recognized simultaneously. Management does not have any contracts that include a significant financing component as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into geographical regions and target markets. The Company determines that disaggregating revenue into these categories achieves the disclosure objective to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. As noted below in Note 18, Segment Information ​ A disaggregation of revenue by target market and geography is provided below: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended ​ ​ ​ March 31, ​ Target Market 2024 2023 ​ Industrial ​ $ 69,594 ​ $ 63,256 ​ Vehicle ​ ​ 34,654 ​ ​ 30,831 ​ Medical ​ 19,086 ​ 23,674 ​ Aerospace & Defense ​ 16,653 ​ 21,287 ​ Distribution and Other ​ 6,726 ​ 6,501 ​ Total ​ $ 146,713 ​ $ 145,549 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three months ended ​ ​ ​ March 31, ​ Geography 2024 2023 ​ North America (primarily U.S.) ​ $ 99,703 ​ $ 97,367 ​ Europe ​ 40,660 ​ 39,897 ​ Asia-Pacific ​ 6,350 ​ 8,285 ​ Total ​ $ 146,713 ​ $ 145,549 ​ ​ Contract Balances When the timing of the Company’s delivery of product is different from the timing of the payments made by customers, the Company recognizes either a contract asset (performance precedes customer payment) or a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance). Typically, contracts are paid in arrears and are recognized as receivables after the Company considers whether a significant financing component exists. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 31, ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2024 ​ 2023 Contract liabilities in accrued liabilities ​ $ 2,202 ​ $ 2,137 Contract liabilities in other long-term liabilities ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ 8 ​ ​ $ 2,207 ​ $ 2,145 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. Significant Payment Terms The Company’s contracts with its customers state the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product or service purchased. Payments are typically due in full within 30-60 days of delivery. Since the customer agrees to a stated rate and price in the contract that do not vary over the contract, the majority of contracts do not contain variable consideration. Returns, Refunds, and Warranties In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. The Company establishes provisions for estimated returns and warranties. All contracts include a standard warranty clause to guarantee that the product complies with agreed specifications.

On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2024 Amended Credit Agreement”) for a $280 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The changes made to the Company’s previous credit facility by the 2024 Amended Credit Agreement include: i) providing for a $50 million accordion amount and ii) extending the term from February 12, 2025 to March 1, 2029. Additionally, the Company has entered into a $150 million fixed-rate private shelf facility (the “2024 Note Payable Agreement”) under which $50.0 million of borrowings occurred on March 21, 2024. These agreements, collectively, are referred to as the “2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements”. Pursuant to the 2024 Note Payable Agreement, the Company may from time to time issue and sell, and the borrower may consider in its sole discretion the purchase of, in one or a series of transactions, senior notes of the Company in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million (“Shelf Notes”). The Shelf Notes will have a maturity date of no more than 10.5 years after the date of original issuance and may be issued through March 1, 2027, unless either party terminates such issuance right. Debt issuance costs of Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the 2024 Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.50% or the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0.25% to 1.50%, in each case depending on the Company’s ratio of Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the 2024 Amended Credit Agreement) to Consolidated EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”). In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.15% and 0.325% quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolving Facility, also based on the Company’s Leverage Ratio. Financial covenants under the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 3.0:1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Company’s Leverage Ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter shall not be greater than 4.25:1.0 through December 31, 2024 or greater than 3.75 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter thereafter; provided that the Company may elect to temporarily increase the Leverage Ratio to by 0.5 :1.0 following a material acquisition under the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements. The 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements also include covenants and restrictions that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets and enter into transactions with an affiliate of the Company on other than an arms’ length transaction. These covenants, which are described more fully in the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements, to which reference is made for a complete statement of the covenants, are subject to certain exceptions. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2024. The 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements also include customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, if any representation or warranty made by the Company is false or misleading in any material respect, default under certain other indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company and its subsidiaries, the occurrence of certain material judgments, the occurrence of certain ERISA events, the invalidity of the loan documents or a change in control of the Company. The amounts outstanding under the Amended Revolving Facility may be accelerated upon certain events of default. ​ The obligations under the 2024 Credit and Note Payable Agreements are secured by substantially all of the Company’s non-realty assets and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. On March 21, 2024, the Company issued and sold $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Series A Senior Notes due March 21, 2031 (the “Series A Notes”). The Series A Notes were issued pursuant to the Private Shelf Agreement. The Series A Notes represent senior promissory notes of the Company and will bear interest at 5.96% and will mature on March 21, 2031. Interest on the Series A Notes will be payable quarterly on the 21st day of March, June, September and December in each year, commencing on June 21, 2024. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. There are no separate covenants relating to the Series A Notes. All additional borrowings are subject to the leverage ratio compliance. of the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest plus the defined “Make-Whole Amount,” if any. The Make-Whole Amount is an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining schedule payments with respect to principal on the Series A Notes being prepaid over the amount of the prepaid principal. As of March 31, 2024, the unused Revolving Facility was $96,038 . The amount available to borrow under the Ameded Revolving Facility and the Private Shelf Facility may be limited by the Company’s debt and EBITDA levels, which impacts its covenant calculations

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, and foreign exchange risk primarily through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into foreign currency contracts with 30-day the Company had a loss of $120 and a gain of $11, respectively, on foreign currency contracts which is included in other expense, net and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other expense, net. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In March 2020, the Company entered into that matures in December 2026. In March 2023, the Company executed amendments to the existing swaps to amend the index on the interest rate derivatives from LIBOR to SOFR. These amendments had no material financial impact to the Company’s operations or financial position. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2024 and 2023, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimates that $3,098 will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense over the next twelve months related to its interest rate derivatives. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

FAIR VALUE
FAIR VALUE	12. FAIR VALUE Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value which utilizes observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following three – level fair value hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ​ Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model – derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable. ​ Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model that are unobservable. ​ ​ The Company’s financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, debt obligations, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The following tables presents the Company’s financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, by level within the fair value hierarchy: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 31, 2024 ​ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets (liabilities) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Pension plan assets ​ $ 6,143 ​ $ — ​ $ — Deferred compensation plan assets ​ 4,382 ​ — ​ — Foreign currency hedge contracts ​ ​ — ​ ​ (9) ​ ​ — Interest rate swaps, net ​ — ​ 4,402 ​ — Contingent consideration ​ — ​ — ​ (270) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ December 31, 2023 ​ Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets (liabilities) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Pension plan assets ​ $ 5,859 ​ $ — ​ $ — Deferred compensation plan assets ​ 4,305 ​ — ​ — Foreign currency hedge contracts ​ — ​ 54 ​ — Interest rate swaps, net ​ — ​ 4,431 ​ — Contingent consideration ​ — ​ — ​ (7,990) ​ The contingent consideration fair value measurement represents amounts in connection with the acquisitions of Sierramotion, which had a maximum amount of $2,000 and ALIO Industries (“ALIO”), which does not have a maximum amount. The measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore constitute Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The Company determines the initial fair value of contingent consideration liabilities using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which involves a simulation of future earnings generated during the earn-out period using management’s best estimates, or a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. was earned and settled in the first quarter of 2024.

INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	13. INCOME TAXES The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to several factors, including changes in the mix of the pre-tax income and the jurisdictions to which it relates, changes in tax laws, settlements with taxing authorities and foreign currency fluctuations. ​ The effective income tax rate was 21.8% and 23.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 includes discrete tax benefits of (2.3)% and (2.8)%, respectively, primarily related to the reversal of uncertain tax positions.
