NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(in thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the 3D metrology, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss).

NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any future period.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying December 31, 2022, condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Asset and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which intends to simplify the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination and to also remove inconsistencies in this topic related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. ASU No. 2021-08 allows an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in a similar manner to how they are recorded on the acquiree’s financial statements at book value. Early adoption is permitted and we early adopted ASU No. 2021-08 in the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result of the early adoption of ASU No.2021-08, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of Holobuilder in 2021 at its book value of approximately $4.0 million. Further, we recorded the deferred revenue associated with the acquisition of GeoSLAM in 2022 at its book value of approximately $1.3 million.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06—Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. The update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments that were previous separated into a debt component and an equity component, and our convertible debt was already determined to be a single debt instrument that did not require bifurcation. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, and therefore, the Notes (as defined below) would not be subject any beneficial conversion or cash conversion guidance. Moreover, the Company did not elect the fair value option - as defined in ASC 825 and 815 - to present the Notes on its financial statements.

NOTE 5 – REVENUES

						$	84,967					$	76,656

(1) Regions represent North America and South America (the “Americas”); Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”); and Asia-Pacific (“APAC”).

For revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software, we allocate the contract price to performance obligations based on our best estimate of the standalone selling price. We make this allocation estimate utilizing data from the sale of our applicable products and services to customers separately in similar circumstances. Revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software is generally recognized upon shipment from our facilities or when delivered to the customer location, as determined by the agreed upon shipping terms, at which time we are entitled to payment and title and control has passed to the customer. Software arrangements generally include short-term maintenance that is considered post-contract support (“PCS”), which is considered to be product transferred to the customer over time and a separate performance obligation. We generally establish a standalone sales price for this PCS component based on our maintenance renewal rate. Maintenance renewals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement. Payments for products and services are collected within a short period of time following transfer of control or commencement of delivery of services, as applicable.

Further, customers frequently purchase extended hardware service contracts with the purchase of measurement equipment and related software. Hardware service contracts are considered a performance obligation when services are transferred to a customer over time, and, as such, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual term. Hardware service contracts include contract periods that extend between one month to three years.

We capitalize commission expenses related to deliverables transferred to a customer over time and amortize such costs ratably over the term of the contract. As of March 31, 2023, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $3.0 million. For classification purposes, $2.1 million and $1.0 million are comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $3.0 million. For classification purposes, $2.0 million and $1.0 million were comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

The unearned service revenue liabilities reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the contract liabilities to satisfy the remaining performance obligations for extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance. The current portion of unearned service revenues on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue within twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. The unearned service revenues less the current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue extending beyond twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. Customer deposits on our condensed consolidated balance sheets represent customer prepayments on contracts for performance obligations that we must satisfy in the future to recognize the related contract revenue. These amounts are generally related to performance obligations which are delivered in less than 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized $11.4 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. During the three ended March 31, 2022, we recognized $10.9 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

The nature of certain of our contracts gives rise to variable consideration, primarily related to an allowance for sales returns. We are required to estimate the contract asset related to sales returns and record a corresponding adjustment to Cost of Sales. Our allowance for sales returns for March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was approximately $0.2 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in Product Sales and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in Cost of Sales. We exclude from Sales any value-added sales and other taxes that we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities.

NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consist of the following:

			As of March 31, 2023						As of December 31, 2022
Accounts receivable			$	92,466					$	92,611

NOTE 7 – INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of Cost of Sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over the remaining life, typically three years.

Inventories consist of the following:

			As of March 31, 2023						As of December 31, 2022
Raw materials			$	30,960					$	33,076
Finished goods			19,926						16,950

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net loss and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Our potential common stock consists of employee stock options, time-based restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock unit awards, and common stock issued for settlement of Notes (as defined in Note 16). Our potential common stock is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when adding such potential common stock would not be anti-dilutive. Market-based awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying conditions (and any applicable market condition) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. When we report a net loss for the period presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes our potential common stock, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were approximately 1,077,583 shares issuable upon the exercise of options, the vesting of time-based restricted stock and the contingent vesting of market-based restricted stock units that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were approximately 599,083 issuable upon the exercise of options that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company has issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of Notes on January 24, 2023, which, if converted, would result in the issuance of a maximum of 2,124,645 shares of common stock. These shares were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is presented below:

			Three Months Ended
			March 31, 2023												March 31, 2022
			Shares						Per-Share Amount						Shares						Per-Share Amount
Basic net loss per share			18,816,110						$(1.12)						18,240,299						$(0.53)

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations:

			As of March 31, 2023
			Level 1						Level 2						Level 3
Assets:
U.S. Treasury securities (due in 6 months) (1)			20,024						$	—					$	—
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (2)			$	—					$	—					$	1,043
Total			$	20,024					$	—					$	1,043
			As of December 31, 2022
			Level 1						Level 2						Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (2)			$	—					$	—					$	1,043
Total			$	—					$	—					$	1,043

(1)As of March 31, 2023, the Company held U.S. Treasury securities with a total fair value of $35.0 million. Of this amount, $20.0 million represents Treasury bills with a 6-month maturity, and are included as short-term investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These securities were classified as Level 1 investments in the above fair value hierarchy. The remaining $15.0 million represents Treasury bills with a 3-month maturity, which were included in Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the U.S. Treasury securities with 6-months maturity was determined using quoted market prices in active markets, which represents Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

(2)Contingent consideration liability represents arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies we acquired based on the attainment of future product release milestones and is reported in Other long-term liabilities. We use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. These probability weightings are developed internally and assessed on a quarterly basis. The remaining undiscounted maximum payment under these arrangements was approximately $1.0 million as of March 31, 2023. We expect to make payments earned by former owners under these arrangements on August 31, 2023.

NOTE 11 – RESTRUCTURING

In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan include a continued focus on efficiency and cost-saving efforts, which included a planned decrease of total headcount.

On July 15, 2021, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanmina, in connection with the Restructuring Plan. Under the Agreement, Sanmina will provide manufacturing services for the Company’s measurement device products manufactured by the Company at the Company’s Lake Mary, Florida, Exton, Pennsylvania, and Stuttgart, Germany manufacturing sites. This phased transition to a Sanmina production facility was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 as part of our cost reduction initiative. We are currently evaluating the Lake Mary, Florida and Stuttgart, Germany manufacturing sites with the intention to reduce our leased floor space. However, all of these facilities are mixed-use spaces shared with our service, research and development, or sales teams who continue to use these spaces. The Company, in collaboration with third-party lessors and architectural resources, intends to conduct studies over the feasibility of abandoning or demising leased floor space against our current needs. Our current needs continue to include access to existing spaces previously constructed to closely monitor temperature and vibration for our service and research and development teams. The conclusion of this evaluation and any subsequent approval to abandon or reduce these leased spaces would be considered as a change in the manner of the use of these corresponding assets, and thereby will be evaluated for impairment. We expect to complete this evaluation before the first half of fiscal year 2023. We have completed this evaluation for the Exton, Pennsylvania manufacturing site and entered into an agreement to sublease 17,000 square feet of unused space. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining value of leasehold improvements for the remaining facilities under evaluation is approximately $0.6 million and a portion of this may be impaired, if the Company decides to reduce or abandon the leased space. Since the approval of the Restructuring Plan, we have paid $24.8 million, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits. As of March 31, 2023, we have completed all of our planned activities under the 2020 restructuring plan and have rolled forward the $0.5 million in remaining amounts payable to the Integration Plan discussed below.

On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. As of March 31, 2023, we expected to incur total pre-tax charges in the range of $10 million to $16 million through the end of fiscal year 2023, and expected to realize approximately $10 million in annualized cost savings when this plan is complete. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023, and the Board approved increases to both the expected pre-tax charges and the annualized cost savings (see Note 17 - Subsequent Events, for further details). In the first quarter of 2023, we have recognized $4.2 million in restructuring costs associated with the Integration Plan, and paid $0.8 million during the same period; primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.

Activity related to the accrued restructuring charges for the Integration Plan and cash payments during the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 is as follows:

			Severance and other benefits						Professional fees and other related charges						Total
Balance at January 1, 2023			$	318					$	210					$	528
Additions charged to expense			4,118						120						4,238

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments — We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $29.7 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. To ensure adequate component availability, as of March 31, 2023, we also had $23.9 million in long-term commitments for purchases to be delivered after 12 months.

Legal Proceedings — We are not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, none of which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 13 – LEASES

We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, research and development facilities, sales and training facilities, vehicles, and certain equipment under which we assume the role of lessee. We do not lease assets as a lessor. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately ten years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to fifteen years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within three months. We do not participate in any material subleasing.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate include the variable portion when calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option at the time the lease is commenced. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

While we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

			Three Months Ended March 31, 2023						Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Operating lease cost			$	1,730					$	1,806
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of ROU assets			15						48
Interest on lease liabilities			3						5
Total finance lease cost			$	18					$	53

We recognize lease payments made for short-term leases where terms are 12 months or less as the payments are incurred. Our short-term lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 were both less than $0.1 million.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.9 million compared with an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate was -10.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with -34.8% in the prior year period. The tax rate for 2023 reflects a tax expense on a pre-tax loss consistent with the prior year period. The change in our income tax expense and our effective tax rate were primarily due to the continued impact of the capitalization of research and development (“R&D”) expenditures for income tax purposes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) requires the capitalization and amortization of R&D costs incurred after December 31, 2021. We have considered the continued effects of the Act on the forecasted domestic taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2023. Our entity in the United States remains in a full valuation allowance position, hence we were not able to recognize the tax benefits associated with the capitalization of these R&D expenditures.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pretax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pretax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

NOTE 15 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On September 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of UK-based GeoSLAM, a leading provider of mobile scanning solutions with proprietary high-productivity simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) software. We believe this acquisition enables the Company to provide mobile scanning solutions using SLAM software to create 3D models for use in Digital Twin applications. We believe these newly acquired capture technologies integrate into our 4D digital reality-based SaaS offering that will allow customers to access multiple 4D data sources for visualization and analysis through a single user experience. We acquired all voting equity interests of GeoSLAM held by the previous owners. The results of GeoSLAM’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2023. The total purchase price included $29 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired and a non-cash payment of 495,562 shares of FARO stock valued at $15.9 million that is subject to customary lock-up provisions for a total purchase price of $44.9 million.

The acquisition of GeoSLAM constitutes a business combination as defined by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations below represent our determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisitions.

Table of Contents

Following is a summary of our allocations of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition:

						Fair Value
Tangible assets acquired:
Accounts receivable						$	2,452
Inventory						6,576
Property, plant and equipment, net						270
Other assets						505
Total assets acquired						9,803
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities						(2,187)
Deferred revenue						(1,282)
Other current liabilities						(289)
Total liabilities assumed						(3,758)
Intangible assets						18,610
Net assets acquired						24,655
Deferred income tax liability						4,472
Goodwill						24,763
Purchase price paid, net of cash acquired						$	44,946

The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the expected synergies from combining operations as well as the value of the workforce. This goodwill is not tax deductible. Acquisition and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred, but are recorded as expense in the period in which such costs are incurred. As of March 31, 2023, we have incurred $2.1 million of acquisition or integration costs for the GeoSLAM acquisition. Accounts receivable acquired represent a gross contractual amount of $2.6 million of which we expect to collect $2.5 million. We believe that the fair value of these receivables approximates the net book value given their short term nature. Pro forma financial results for GeoSLAM have not been presented because the effects of these transactions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our condensed consolidated financial results.

Following are the details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired for the GeoSLAM acquisition:

						Amount			Weighted Average Life (Years)
Brand						$	466		3
Technology						3,828			5
Customer relationships						14,316			15
Fair value of intangible assets acquired						$	18,610		13

On December 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of SiteScape, an innovator in LiDAR 3D scanning software solutions for the AEC and O&M markets. SiteScape enables LiDAR equipped mobile devices to easily capture indoor spaces digitally, providing a readily available entry-point to scanning physical spaces for a broad range of applications. We believe integrating SiteScape’s iOS-enabled low-resolution LiDAR capture capability into the FARO Sphere Platform will allow streamlining multiple capture methods into a single centralized environment on a single coordinate system. We believe this enables FARO’s construction and facilities customers to access a portfolio which now contains low-resolution Lidar, 360° photo, video, mobile mapping and terrestrial laser scanning. The total purchase price included $1.9 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired. The results of SiteScape’s operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 16 - DEBT

On January 24, 2023, the Company issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes will bear interest from January 24, 2023, at a rate of 5.50% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2023.

The Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of approximately $42.36 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 20% to the $35.30 per share closing market price of the common stock on January 19, 2023.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes are presented under the long term liabilities of our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $72.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund working capital needs and for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes was $75 million. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Notes.

As of March 31, 2023, the future minimum payments for interest on our outstanding convertible debt for the next five years are as follows:

Year Ending						Minimum Interest Payments
2023						$	2,154
2024						$	4,125
2025						$	4,125
2026						$	4,125

Overview

We are a global technology company that designs, develops, manufactures, markets and supports software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the 3D metrology, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.

We derive our revenues primarily from the sale of our measurement equipment and related multi-faceted software programs. Revenue related to these products is generally recognized upon shipment. In addition, we sell extended warranties and training and technology consulting services relating to our products. We recognize the revenue from hardware service

contracts and software maintenance contracts on a straight-line basis over the contractual term, and revenue from training and technology consulting services when the services are provided.

We operate in international markets throughout the world and maintain sales offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Sanmina currently manufactures our FARO Quantum Max Arm, FARO Focus Laser Scanner, FARO Laser Tracker and our FARO Laser Projector products in their facility located in Thailand. We expect these third-party manufacturing facilities to have the production capacity necessary to support our volume requirements during 2023.

We account for wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries in the currency of the respective foreign jurisdiction; therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates may have an impact on the value of the intercompany account balances denominated in different currencies and reflected in our consolidated financial statements. We are aware of the availability of off-balance sheet financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, including cross-currency swaps, forward contracts and foreign currency options. No such instruments were utilized by the Company in 2023, 2022 or 2021. We have not used hedging instruments in the past as fluctuations in exchange rate on our revenue were mostly offset by those same fluctuations in exchange rate on our expenses, providing a natural hedge in foreign jurisdictions. Our exchange rate exposure may change as a result of our current or future operational strategies and we will continue assessing the appropriateness of hedging for our business.

Restructuring Plan and Integration Plan

In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan include a continued focus on efficiency and cost-saving efforts, which included a planned decrease of total headcount upon the completion of the Restructuring Plan.

On July 15, 2021, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM) (“Sanmina”), in connection with the Restructuring Plan. Under the Agreement, Sanmina will provide manufacturing services for the Company’s measurement device products previously manufactured by the Company at the Company’s Lake Mary, Florida, Exton, Pennsylvania, and Stuttgart, Germany manufacturing sites. This phased transition to a Sanmina production facility was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 as part of our cost reduction initiative. We are currently evaluating these manufacturing sites with the intention to reduce our leased floor space. However, all of these facilities are mixed-use spaces shared with our service, research and development, or sales teams who continue to use these spaces. The Company, in collaboration with third party lessors and architectural resources, intends to conduct studies over the feasibility of abandoning or demising leased floor space against our current needs. Our current needs continue to include access to existing spaces previously constructed to closely monitor temperature and vibration for our service and research and development teams. The conclusion of this evaluation and any subsequent approval to abandon or reduce these leased spaces would be considered as a change in the manner of the use of these corresponding assets, and thereby will be evaluated for impairment. We expect to complete this evaluation before the first half of fiscal year 2023. As of March 31, 2023, the remaining value of leasehold improvements for these facilities is approximately $0.6 million and a portion of this may be impaired, if the Company decides to reduce or abandon the leased space. Separately, we may also incur additional charges for the modification of leases for these facilities.

Substantially all of our planned activities under the Restructuring Plan are complete and any final steps will be performed as a part of the Integration Plan discussed below.

On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. As of March 31, 2023, we expected to incur total pre-tax charges in the range of $10 million to $16 million through the end of fiscal year 2023, and expected to realize $10 million in annualized cost savings when this plan is complete. This plan was amended on May 3, 2023. As of the date of this filing and per the amendment on May 3, 2023, the total expected pre-tax charges are in the range of $22 million to $28 million. We now expect to realize annualized cost savings in the range of $20 million to $30 million when this plan is complete. In the first quarter of 2023, we have recognized $4.2 million in restructuring costs associated with the Integration Plan, and paid $0.8 million during the same period; primarily consisting of severance and related benefits. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we’ve taken a $1.1 million asset impairment charge to fully expense the net book value of certain software assets. These costs were included in the financial results of the fourth quarter of 2022.

Faro Sphere and the Unified Software Environment

FARO Sphere is our new cloud-based platform that is the foundation to our new software and solution strategy. Our objective is to provide differentiated value by offering workflow enhancements which include data uploads from any location, access to our existing suite of 3D software applications, cloud-based data analysis and global user access. FARO Sphere represents the first step into expansion of our cloud-based software offerings that we believe will deliver greater value to our customers and to our shareholders. The FARO Sphere environment could be adopted globally across a wide range of markets, including construction management, facilities, operations and maintenance, robotic simulation and incident preplanning. This potential adoption would lead to an increase in the number of users and thus enable revenue growth of our software and a shift toward increased levels of recurring revenue over time. We have released the first phase of FARO Sphere to our customers during the second quarter of 2022. A key aspect our our Integration Plan is to consolidate our cloud-based offerings into a single Unified Software Environment.

Revenue from our current software products was $10.3 million and $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Our recurring revenue which is comprised of hardware service contracts, software maintenance contracts, and subscription-based software applications was $16.7 million and $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Research and development costs incurred relating to the development of internal-use software and website development, including software used to upgrade and enhance our websites and applications to be sold as a service are capitalized in the period incurred and amortized over 1 year to 5 years. These costs include external direct costs of materials and services and internal costs such as payroll and benefits of those employees directly associated with the development of new functionality in internal use software to be sold as a service. The amount of costs capitalized relating to internally developed computer software to be sold as a service was $1.3 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Cash paid relating to these development costs are included as an investing activity within the Cash paid for technology development, patents and licenses line of our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Acquisitions

On September 1, 2022, we acquired UK-based GeoSLAM, a leading provider of mobile scanning solutions with proprietary high-productivity simultaneous localization and mapping (“SLAM”) software. GeoSLAM's software enables mobile 3D documentation of indoor or enclosed environments without the need for global positioning system (“GPS”). GeoSLAM’s products and solutions are primarily used today in the geospatial and mining markets. However, there is a growing demand for high productivity mobile scanning in the construction, operations and maintenance markets as well.

On December 1, 2022, we acquired SiteScape, an innovator in light detecting and ranging (“LiDAR”) 3D scanning software solutions for the architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”) and operations and maintenance (“O&M”) markets. SiteScape enables LiDAR equipped mobile devices to easily capture indoor spaces digitally, providing a readily available entry-point to scanning physical spaces for a broad range of applications. The SiteScape software is available for all LiDAR equipped iPhone operating system (“iOS”) devices, which enables quick and easily accessible data capture to be available to the consumer-based market.

Consolidated Results

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Sales. Total sales increased by $8.3 million, or 10.8%, to $85.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $76.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by our product sales, as our service sales remained consistent with the comparable period. Total product sales increased by $8.5 million, or 15.0%, to $65.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $56.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Total product sales increased due to an increased global demand for our Focus Laser Scanner and Quantum Max Arm, combined with the addition of GeoSLAM product sales of $4.0 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased by $1.3 million, or 3.2%, to $39.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $41.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and gross margin decreased by 6.8 percentage points to 46.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 53.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Gross margin from product revenue decreased by 9.1 percentage points to 48.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 57.1% for the prior year period primarily due to unfavorable price variances due to global supply shortages. The higher cost of raw materials primarily stems from sourcing semiconductor components in an extremely tight broker market, where we had to make large payments to secure delivery in advance of receiving certain components, since the third quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2023, these advance payments included in Inventories, net, on our Consolidate Balance Sheets accounts for $8.6 million. We expect amortizing these amounts in the second and third quarters of 2023, in correlation with the receipt and consumption of the associated materials. We anticipate continued unfavorable price variances until global supply and cost conditions normalize. However, we are expecting our continued shift in supply chain sourcing to Southeast Asia to positively impact gross margins in 2024. Gross margin from service revenue decreased by 0.6 percentage points to 42.7% for the three months ended March 31,

Table of Contents

2023 from 43.3% for the prior year period, primarily due to higher service component pricing with a relatively consistent fixed cost structure.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.9 million, or 16.6%, to $41.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $35.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by higher personnel costs resulting from additional headcount obtained primarily from both of our recent acquisitions of GeoSLAM and SiteScape, and base compensation increases. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased by 2.4 percentage points to 48.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 46.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our worldwide period-ending selling, general and administrative headcount increased by 42, or 5.6%, to 795 at March 31, 2023, from 753 at March 31, 2022.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 4.9%, to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 15.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 15.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Restructuring costs. In February 2023, we initiated the Integration Plan to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. Restructuring costs included in operating expenses increased by $3.6 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily consisting of accrued severance and related benefits charges and professional fees.

Interest (income) expense, net. We recorded net interest expense of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and net interest expense of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Other income, net. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, other income was $0.2 million compared with other expense of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Income tax expense (benefit). For the three months ended March 31, 2023 we recorded an income tax expense of $1.9 million compared with an income tax benefit of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate was -10.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with -34.8% in the prior year period. The tax rate for 2023 reflects a tax expense on a pre-tax loss consistent with the prior year period. The change in our income tax expense and our effective tax rate were primarily due to the continued impact of the capitalization of research and development (“R&D”) expenditures for income tax purposes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) requires the capitalization and amortization of R&D costs incurred after December 31, 2021. We have considered the continued effects of the Act on the forecasted domestic taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2023. Our entity in the United States remains in a full valuation allowance position, hence we were not able to recognize the tax benefits associated with the capitalization of these R&D expenditures.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our quarterly provision for income tax expense (benefit) are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pretax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pretax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Net loss. Our net loss was $21.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with net loss of $9.7 million for the prior year period, reflecting the impact of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $30.8 million to $68.6 million at March 31, 2023, from $37.8 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by our issuance of the Notes.

Cash used in operating activities was $18.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $7.0 million of cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was due to a larger current year net loss and changes in working capital accounts, primarily consisting of an increase in other current assets originating from the timing of refunds on value-added tax payments. We received approximately $9.0 million of the aforementioned tax refunds in the first half of the second quarter of 2023.

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $23.5 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $5.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s investment of $20.0 million in U.S. Treasury securities with a 6-month maturity.

Cash provided by financing activities was $72.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the Company's issuance of the Notes. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

The Notes will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes bear interest from January 24, 2023, at a rate of 5.50% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2023. The Notes may bear additional interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the indenture governing the Notes or if the Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the indenture.

The Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of the Notes at any time prior to November 1, 2027, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (hereinafter referred to as “common stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption; or (5) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 1, 2027, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 23.6072 shares of the common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $42.36 per share of the common stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 20% to the $35.30 per share last reported sale price of the common stock on January 19, 2023. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the indenture (governing the Notes).

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to February 5, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after February 5, 2026, and on or before the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of the common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day immediately before the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company provides such notice. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $72.2 million, after deducting the initial purchaser discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses related to the offering. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we have incurred $0.5 million in debt issuance costs primarily related to professional fees which are excluded from the

discounts and commissions previously mentioned. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Of our cash and cash equivalents, $31.6 million was held by foreign subsidiaries as of March 31, 2023. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, resulting in significant modifications to existing tax law, which included a transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. As a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company can repatriate foreign earnings and profits to the U.S. with minimal U.S. income tax consequences, other than the transition tax and global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax. We have reinvested a large portion of our undistributed foreign earnings and profits in acquisitions and other investments and intends to bring back a portion of foreign cash in certain jurisdictions where we will not be subject to local withholding taxes and which were subject already to transition tax and GILTI tax.

On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. We made no stock repurchases during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, under this program. As of March 31, 2023, we had authorization to repurchase $18.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.

We believe that our working capital and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our short- and long-term liquidity operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of March 31, 2023, we had $29.7 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. We also had $23.9 million in long-term commitments for purchases to be delivered after 12 months. Other than as described in the preceding sentences, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments table included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience, along with various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. As of March 31, 2023, our critical accounting policies have not changed from those described in our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Exposure

We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the United States. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, 54% of our revenue was invoiced, and a significant portion of our operating expenses and manufacturing costs were paid, in foreign currencies, and 56% of our assets were denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition and could specifically result in foreign exchange gains and losses. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on the results of our operations cannot be accurately predicted due to our constantly changing exposure to various currencies, and the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollar. Our most significant exposures are to the Euro, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, Chinese Yuan and Brazilian Real. To the extent that the percentage of our non-U.S. dollar revenues derived from international sales increases in the future, our exposure to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may increase.

Global Inflation Exposure

General inflation in the United States, Europe and other geographies has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades. General inflation, including rising prices for our raw materials and other inputs as well as rising salaries negatively impact our business by increasing our cost of sales and operating expenses. A period of a rising rate of inflation also negatively impacts our business by decreasing the capital for our customers to deploy to purchase our products and services. Inflation may cause our customers to reduce or delay orders for our goods and services thereby causing a decrease in sales of our products and services. The impact of future inflation fluctuations on the results of our operations cannot be accurately predicted.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in this Item 1A and in our Annual Report, before deciding to invest in, or retain, shares of our common stock. These risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report, in this Quarterly Report, and in subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known by us or by factors that we currently consider to be immaterial to our business. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report, other than as set forth below.

Market conditions and changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could impair our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments and to timely pay key vendors and others.

Market conditions and changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could impair our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments and to timely pay key vendors and others. For example, in March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), was placed into receivership with the FDIC, and all funds held at SVB were temporarily inaccessible to SVB’s customers and then in May 2023, First Republic Bank was also placed into receivership with the FDIC, and substantially all of its assets were sold to JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association. If other banks and financial institutions with whom we have banking relationships enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, we may be unable to access, or we may lose, some or all of our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, to the extent those funds are not insured or otherwise protected by the FDIC. In addition, in such circumstances we might not be able to timely pay key vendors and others. We regularly maintain cash balances that are not insured or are in excess of the FDIC’s insurance limit. Any delay in our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and investments, or the loss of some or all of such funds, or inability to timely pay key vendors and others, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and cause us to seek additional capital sooner than planned.

Our executive management team has gone through significant changes and any failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could lead to a loss of sales or decreased profitability.

The loss of any of our current executive officers, or other key personnel, could adversely affect our sales, profitability or growth. Our executive management team has gone through a significant transition over the course of the last three years, including the hiring of a new President and Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Financial Officer and most recently, the announcement of the retirement of our President and Chief Executive Officer and the appointment of our current Chairman, Yuval Wasserman, as our Executive Chairman, who will also assume the role of Interim Chief Executive Officer. Any changes and turnover of management could also adversely impact our stock price, and our client relationships and could make recruiting for future management positions more difficult. Moreover, we face competition for qualified personnel and we continue to rely, in part, on equity awards to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel could result in increased salaries and other compensation expenses and could negatively affect our profitability.

We may experience volatility in our stock price.

The price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•fluctuations in demand for, and sales of, our products or prolonged downturns in the industries that we serve;

•actual or anticipated variations in quarterly or annual operating results;

•general economic uncertainties;

•issuances of shares of our common stock, whether in connection with an acquisition or upon conversion of some or all     of our outstanding Notes;

•speculation in the press or investment community; and

•announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors.

Table of Contents

The market price of our common stock may also be affected by announcements of executive leadership changes or our inability to meet analyst and investor expectations and failure to achieve projected financial results. Any failure to meet such expectations or projected financial results, even if minor, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly. Volatility in our stock price may result in the inability of our shareholders to sell their shares at or above the price at which they purchased them.

Our relatively small public float and daily trading volume have in the past caused, and may in the future result in, significant volatility in our stock price. At March 31, 2023, we had approximately 20.1 million shares outstanding held by non-affiliates. Our daily trading volume for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 averaged approximately 180,034 shares.

In addition, stock markets have experienced in the past and may in the future experience a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of equity securities of many companies have experienced in the past and may in the future experience wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, securities class action lawsuits frequently have been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of such companies’ securities. If any such litigation is instigated against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to recognize the anticipated benefits of our Restructuring Plan, our new strategic plan, and any future restructuring and strategic plans.

On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan, which is intended to support our new strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and to help ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the “Integration Plan”), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations particularly around recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings, and on May 3, 2023, amended the Integration Plan, to further increase savings. Actual results, including the final costs of these restructuring plans, our new strategic plan and our ability to sustain savings, may differ materially from our expectations, resulting in our inability to realize the expected benefits of these restructuring plans and negatively impact our ability to execute our future plans and strategies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer Under the Share Repurchase Plan

On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. We made no stock repurchases during the three month period ended March 31, 2023 under this program. As of March 31, 2023, we had authorization to repurchase $18.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

None.

Item 5. Other Information.

On May 3, 2023, an amendment to the Integration Plan was approved by our Board of Directors. The original approval anticipated pre-tax charges in the range of $10 million to $16 million, along with an anticipated annualized savings of approximately $10 million. The amendment approves pre-tax charges in the range of $22 million to $28 million, with a targeted annualized savings of approximately $20 million to $30 million.

The Integration Plan is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization.
