NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Business

Vontier Corporation (“Vontier,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global industrial technology company that focuses on critical technical equipment, components, software and services for manufacturing, repair, and servicing in the mobility infrastructure industry worldwide. The Company supplies a wide range of mobility technologies and diagnostics and repair technologies solutions spanning advanced environmental sensors; fueling equipment; field payment hardware; point-of sale, workflow and monitoring software; vehicle tracking and fleet management; software solutions for traffic light control; and vehicle mechanics’ and technicians’ equipment. The Company markets its products and services to retail and commercial fueling operators, convenience store and in-bay car wash operators, tunnel car wash businesses, commercial vehicle repair businesses, municipal governments and public safety entities and fleet owners/operators on a global basis.

Vontier operates through one reportable segment comprised of two operating segments: (i) mobility technologies, which is a leading worldwide provider of solutions and services focused on fuel dispensing, remote fuel management, point-of-sale and payment systems, environmental compliance, workflow software and control solutions, vehicle tracking and fleet management (“telematics”) and traffic management (“smart city solutions”), and (ii) diagnostics and repair technologies, which manufactures and distributes vehicle repair tools, toolboxes and automotive diagnostic equipment and software and a full line of wheel-service equipment. Given the interrelationships of the products, technologies and customers and the resulting similar long-term economic characteristics, we meet the aggregation criteria and have combined our two operating segments into a single reportable segment.

Basis of Presentation and Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements present our historical financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are unaudited.

The interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The accompanying interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements also reflect the impact of noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests do not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, therefore net earnings and net earnings per share attributable to noncontrolling interests are not presented separately in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests have been reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and were insignificant in all periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and in January 2021 issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. These ASUs provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to facilitate the market transition from existing reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which is being phased out beginning at the end of 2021, to alternate reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. These standards were effective upon issuance and allowed application to contract changes as early as January 1, 2020. These provisions may impact the Company as contract modifications and other changes occur during the LIBOR transition period. The Company continues to evaluate the optional relief guidance provided

within these ASUs, has reviewed its debt securities and continues to evaluate commercial contracts that may utilize LIBOR as the reference rate. We will continue the assessment and monitor regulatory developments during the LIBOR transition period.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosure of certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty while eliminating certain current recognition and measurement accounting guidance. This ASU also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years; this ASU allows for early adoption in any interim period after issuance of the update. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

DRB Systems, LLC

On September 13, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of DRB Systems, LLC (“DRB”), a leading provider of point of sale, workflow software and control solutions to the car wash industry, for $955.8 million in cash. This acquisition aligns with the Company’s portfolio diversification strategy and enables opportunities in new end markets. With this acquisition, the Company expects to grow its retail solutions portfolio.

The acquisition of DRB was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business, future market opportunities and the expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations. The majority of goodwill derived from this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price allocation has not been finalized as the analysis of the assets and liabilities acquired has not been completed. The procedures to finalize may result in further adjustments to our purchase accounting that could result in additional measurement period adjustments, which could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The accounting for the acquisition will be completed no later than one year from the acquisition date, in accordance with GAAP.

The Company’s estimate of the purchase price allocation is as follows:


($ in millions)	Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation		Measurement Period Adjustments		Adjusted Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation		Weighted Average Amortization Period
Accounts receivable	$	17.3	$	(3.1)	$	14.2
Inventories	21.0		—		21.0
Prepaid and other current assets	3.8		(0.1)		3.7
Technology	142.1		0.5		142.6		9.0
Customer relationships	227.0		—		227.0		11.0
Trade names	36.0		—		36.0		14.0
Goodwill	587.4		(8.6)		578.8
Other assets	14.9		0.1		15.0
Trade accounts payable	(5.8)		—		(5.8)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(44.6)		2.0		(42.6)
Other long-term liabilities	(43.6)		9.5		(34.1)
Purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	955.5	$	0.3	$	955.8

To determine the fair value of the acquired intangible assets included above, management utilized significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and was required to make judgements and estimates about future results such as revenues, margin, net working capital and other valuation assumptions such as useful lives, royalty rates, attrition rates and discount rates. These assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

Driivz

On February 7, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 81% of the outstanding shares of Driivz Ltd. (“Driivz”) for $152.6 million, net of cash received. Driivz, which is based in Israel, is a cloud-based subscription software platform supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure (“EVCI”) providers with operations management, energy optimization, billing and roaming capabilities, as well as driver self-service apps. The acquisition of Driivz accelerates the Company’s portfolio diversification and e-mobility strategies and positions the Company to capitalize on the global EVCI market opportunities.

The acquisition of Driivz was accounted for as a business combination and, accordingly, the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The consideration paid was allocated as follows: (i) $90.0 million to definite-lived intangible assets consisting of developed technology, customer relationships and a trade name with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 9 years, (ii) $128.2 million to goodwill and (iii) $22.6 million to other net liabilities. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business, future market opportunities and the expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations. The majority of the goodwill derived from this acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The carrying value of the Company’s approximately 19% interest in Driivz prior to the acquisition was $10.3 million, which historically was carried at cost. In connection with the acquisition, this investment was remeasured to a fair value of $43.0 million resulting in the recognition of an aggregate noncash gain of $32.7 million during the first quarter of 2022, which was included in Gain on previously held equity interests from combination of business in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The preliminary fair value of the historical cost method investment was determined using a market approach. The key assumptions and estimates utilized in this approach included market data and market multiples as well as future levels of revenue growth and operating margins.

Acquisition-related costs related to Driivz are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings and were $1.1 million.

The Company has not disclosed post-acquisition or pro-forma revenue and earnings attributable to Driivz as it did not have a material effect on the Company’s results.

The purchase price allocation has not been finalized for Driivz as the analysis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been completed. The procedures to finalize may result in further adjustments to our purchase accounting that could result in additional measurement period adjustments, which could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. The accounting for the acquisition will be completed no later than one year from the acquisition date, in accordance with GAAP.

To determine the preliminary fair value of the acquired intangible assets included above for Driivz, management utilized significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). The assumptions used are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

NOTE 3. FINANCING AND TRADE RECEIVABLES

The Company’s financing receivables are comprised of commercial purchase security agreements with the Company’s end customers (“PSAs”) and commercial loans to the Company’s franchisees (“Franchisee Notes”). Financing receivables are generally secured by the underlying tools and equipment financed.

PSAs are installment sales contracts originated between the franchisee and technicians or independent shop owners which enable these customers to purchase tools and equipment on an extended-term payment plan. PSA payment terms are generally up to five years. Upon origination, the Company assumes the PSA by crediting the franchisee’s trade accounts receivable. As a result, originations of PSAs are non-cash transactions. The Company records PSAs at amortized cost.

Franchisee Notes have payment terms of up to 10 years and include financing to fund business startup costs including: (i) installment loans to franchisees used generally to finance inventory, equipment, and franchise fees; and (ii) lines of credit to finance working capital, including additional purchases of inventory.

Revenues associated with the Company’s interest income related to financing receivables are recognized to approximate a constant effective yield over the contract term. Accrued interest is included in Accounts receivable less allowance for credit losses and is insignificant as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Product sales to franchisees and the related financing income is included in Cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

The components of financing receivables with payments due in less than twelve months that are recorded in Accounts receivable less allowance for credit losses on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets were as follows:


($ in millions)	July 1, 2022		December 31, 2021
Gross current financing receivables:
PSAs	$	96.2	$	98.4
Franchisee Notes	15.1		15.5

The components of financing receivables with payments due beyond one year were as follows:


($ in millions)	July 1, 2022		December 31, 2021
Gross long-term financing receivables:
PSAs	$	222.5	$	219.7
Franchisee Notes	63.5		64.5

Franchisee Notes, net	58.0		59.2
Total long-term financing receivables, net	$	244.8	$	241.7

Net deferred origination costs were insignificant as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a net unamortized discount on our financing receivables of $16.8 million and $16.7 million, respectively.

It is the Company’s general practice to not engage in contract or loan modifications of existing arrangements for troubled debt restructurings. In limited instances, the Company may modify certain impaired receivables with customers in bankruptcy or other legal proceedings, or in the event of significant natural disasters. Restructured financing receivables as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were insignificant.

Credit score and distributor tenure are the primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s financing receivables. Depending on the contract, payments for financing receivables are due on a monthly or weekly basis. Weekly payments are converted into a monthly equivalent for purposes of calculating delinquency. Delinquencies are assessed at the end of each month following the monthly equivalent due date and are considered delinquent once past due.

The amortized cost basis of PSAs and Franchisee Notes by origination year as of July 1, 2022, is as follows:


($ in millions)	2022		2021		2020		2019		2018		Prior		Total

Total Franchisee Notes	$	13.8	$	25.6	$	11.1	$	12.1	$	6.4	$	9.6	$	78.6

Past Due

PSAs are considered past due when a contractual payment has not been made. If a customer is making payments on its account, interest will continue to accrue. The table below sets forth the aging of the Company’s PSA balances as of:


($ in millions)	30-59 days past due		60-90 days past due		Greater than 90 days past due		Total past due		Total not considered past due		Total		Greater than 90 days past due and accruing interest
July 1, 2022	$	3.2	$	1.6	$	6.1	$	10.9	$	307.8	$	318.7	$	6.1
December 31, 2021	3.3		1.7		6.5		11.5		306.6		318.1		6.5

Franchisee Notes are considered past due when payments have not been made for 21 days after the due date. Past due Franchisee Notes (where the franchisee had not yet separated) were insignificant as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Uncollectable Status

PSAs are deemed uncollectable and written off when they are both contractually delinquent and no payment has been received for 180 days.

Franchisee Notes are deemed uncollectable and written off after a distributor separates and no payments have been received for one year.

The Company stops accruing interest and other fees associated with financing receivables when (i) a customer is placed in uncollectable status and repossession efforts have begun; (ii) upon receipt of notification of bankruptcy; (iii) upon notification of the death of a customer; or (iv) other instances in which management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured.

Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Financing Receivables

The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses considering several factors, including the aging of its financing receivables, historical credit loss and portfolio delinquency experience and current economic conditions. The Company also evaluates financing receivables with identified exposures, such as customer defaults, bankruptcy or other events that make it unlikely it will recover the amounts owed to it. In calculating such reserves, the Company evaluates expected cash flows, including estimated proceeds from disposition of collateral, and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. When a loss is considered probable on an individual financing receivable, a specific reserve is recorded.

The following is a rollforward of the PSAs and Franchisee Notes components of the Company’s allowance for credit losses related to financing receivables as of:


	July 1, 2022						December 31, 2021
($ in millions)	PSAs		Franchisee Notes		Total		PSAs		Franchisee Notes		Total

Given the nature of the short-term borrowings, the carrying value approximates fair value at both July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Credit Facilities

Revolving Credit Facility

On April 28, 2021, the Company refinanced its existing credit agreement. The amended and restated credit agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”) extended the term of the $750.0 million senior unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) from September 29, 2023 to April 28, 2026 and reduced the interest rate.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin which was 117.5 basis points as of July 1, 2022.

As of July 1, 2022, $14.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Three-Year Term Loans Due 2024

The A&R Credit Agreement also extended the term of the $400.0 million Three-Year Term Loans Due 2024 from October 6, 2023 to October 28, 2024 and reduced the interest rate. The Three-Year Term Loans bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin which was 112.5 basis points as of July 1, 2022. The interest rate was 2.76% per annum as of July 1, 2022. We are not obligated to make repayments prior to the maturity date. There was no material difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the debt outstanding.

Two-Year Term Loans Due 2023

The Two-Year Term Loans Due 2023 bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin which was 75.0 basis points as of July 1, 2022. The interest rate was 2.42% per annum as of July 1, 2022. The Two-Year Term Loans Due 2023 mature on September 13, 2023. We are not obligated to make repayments prior to the maturity date. There was no material difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the debt outstanding.

The A&R Credit Agreement requires, among others, that we maintain certain financial covenants, and we were in compliance with all of these covenants as of July 1, 2022.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On March 10, 2021, we completed the private placement of each of the following series of senior unsecured notes (collectively, the “Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act:

•$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) issued at 99.855% of their principal amount and bearing interest at the rate of 1.800% per year;

•$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) issued at 99.703% of their principal amount and bearing interest at the rate of 2.400% per year; and

•$600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2031 the (the “2031 Notes”) issued at 99.791% of their principal amount and bearing interest at the rate of 2.950% per year.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and cause to be declared effective within 365 days, a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) each series of Notes for registered notes with terms that are substantially identical to the Notes of each series. We completed the Registered Exchange Offer on January 18, 2022. Substantially all of the Notes were tendered and exchanged for the corresponding Registered Notes in the Registered Exchange Offer.

The Registered Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), on a joint and several basis, by Gilbarco Inc. and Matco Tools Corporation, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). Interest on the Registered Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and commenced on October 1, 2021. The Registered Notes and the Guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general senior unsecured obligations.

The Registered Notes contain customary covenants, including limits on the incurrence of certain secured debt and sale-leaseback transactions. None of these covenants are considered restrictive to our operations and as of July 1, 2022 we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the Registered Notes.

The estimated fair value of the Registered Notes was $1.3 billion as of July 1, 2022. The fair value of the Registered Notes was determined based upon Level 2 inputs including indicative prices based upon observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of the Notes may be attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or our credit ratings subsequent to the incurrence of the borrowing.

Short-term Borrowings

India Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility with Citibank, N.A. with borrowing capacity of up to 850.0 million Indian Rupees (or $10.8 million as of July 1, 2022) to facilitate working capital needs for certain businesses in India. As of July 1, 2022, the Company had $9.1 million borrowing capacity remaining. The effective interest rate associated with outstanding borrowings was 6.46% as of July 1, 2022.

Other

As of July 1, 2022, certain of our businesses were in a cash overdraft position, and such overdrafts are included in Short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. Additionally, the Company has other short-term borrowing arrangements with various banks to facilitate short-term cash flow requirements in certain countries also included in Short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet.

Interest payments associated with the above short-term borrowings were not significant for the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021.

NOTE 6. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Foreign currency translation adjustments are generally not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries.

NOTE 7. SALES

Revenue is recognized when control of promised products or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services.

Contract Assets

In certain circumstances, we record contract assets which include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is subject to contractual performance obligations and not only subject to the passage of time. Contract assets were $12.1 million and $10.4 million as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Contract Costs

We incur direct incremental costs to obtain certain contracts, typically sales-related commissions and costs associated with assets used by our customers in certain service arrangements. As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $77.3 million and $78.4 million, respectively, in net revenue-related capitalized contract costs primarily related to assets used by our customers in certain software contracts, which are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, for the current portion, and Other assets, for the noncurrent portion, in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These assets have estimated useful lives between 3 and 5 years and are amortized on a straight-line basis.

Impairment losses recognized on our revenue-related contract assets were insignificant during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021.

Contract Liabilities

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue generally related to post contract support (“PCS”) and extended warranty sales. In these arrangements, the Company generally receives up-front payment and recognizes revenue over the support term of the contracts. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when revenue is expected to be recognized and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

The Company’s contract liabilities consisted of the following:


($ in millions)	July 1, 2022		December 31, 2021
Deferred revenue - current	$	132.6	$	133.7
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	50.6		56.3
Total contract liabilities	$	183.2	$	190.0

During the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, we recognized $27.8 million and $79.3 million, respectively, of revenue related to the Company’s contract liabilities at December 31, 2021. The change in contract liabilities from December 31, 2021 to July 1, 2022 was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and sales of PCS and extended warranty services as well as the impact of the acquisition of Driivz and inclusion of the acquired contract liabilities.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm, noncancelable orders and the annual contract value for software-as-a-service contracts with expected customer delivery dates beyond one year from July 1, 2022 for which work has not been performed. The Company has excluded performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less. Performance obligations as of July 1, 2022 are $353.0 million, the majority of which are related to the annual contract value for software-as-a-service contracts. The Company expects approximately 40 percent of the remaining performance obligations will be fulfilled within the next two years, 70 percent within the next three years, and substantially all within four years.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by sales of products and services, geographic location, solution and major product group, as it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Disaggregation of revenue was as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

(b) Certain prior year amounts were reclassified from “Other” and “E-mobility” to “Alternative energy” to conform with current year presentation.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 was 19.2% and 21.0%, respectively, as compared to 24.4% and 24.0% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2021. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year was primarily due to the tax impact of recording our investment in Tritium at fair value and the settlement of uncertain tax positions in the period. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year was primarily due to an increase in non-taxable income related to our previously held equity interest in Driivz and the tax impact of recording our investment in Tritium at fair value.

Our effective tax rate for both periods in 2022 and 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the effect of state taxes and foreign taxable earnings at a rate different from the U.S. federal statutory rate, which for the six months ended July 1, 2022, was offset by the increase in non-taxable income related to our previously held equity interest in Driivz.

NOTE 9. LEASES

Operating lease cost was $5.8 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively. For the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, operating lease cost was $11.2 million and $10.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, cash paid for operating leases included in operating cash flows was $10.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively. Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations were $3.1 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 10. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

Warranty

We generally accrue estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. In general, manufactured products are warrantied against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Warranty period terms depend on the nature of the product and range from ninety days up to the life of the product. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances estimated property damage. The accrued warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

The following is a rollforward of the Company’s accrued warranty liability:


($ in millions)
Balance, December 31, 2021	$	49.4
Accruals for warranties issued during the period	16.1
Settlements made	(15.7)

Effect of foreign currency translation	(0.6)
Reclassification to held for sale	(1.5)
Balance, July 1, 2022	$	47.7

Litigation and Other Contingencies

The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcome of such matters is uncertain, management believes that these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of future operations of the Company.

In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company records a liability in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss does not meet the known or probable level but is reasonably possible and a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed.

Our reserves consist of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts for anticipated developments of these claims as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The specific reserves for individual known claims are quantified with the assistance of legal counsel and outside risk insurance professionals where appropriate. In addition, outside risk insurance professionals may assist in the determination of reserves for incurred but not yet reported claims through evaluation of our specific loss history, actual claims reported, and industry trends among statistical and other factors. Reserve estimates are adjusted as additional information regarding a claim becomes known. While we actively pursue financial recoveries from insurance providers, the Company does not recognize any recoveries until realized or until such time as a sustained pattern of collections is established related to historical matters of a similar nature and magnitude. If the risk insurance reserves the Company has established are inadequate, we would be required to incur an expense equal to the amount of the loss incurred in excess of the reserves, which would adversely affect our net earnings.

In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos related matters, the Company records insurance recoveries that are deemed probable and estimable. In assessing the probability of insurance recovery, we make judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings, our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers, and litigation and court rulings potentially impacting coverage. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in the analysis of probable recoveries. Projecting future events is subject to various uncertainties, including litigation and court rulings potentially impacting coverage, that could cause insurance recoveries on asbestos related liabilities to be higher or lower than those projected and recorded. Given the inherent uncertainty in making future projections, the Company reevaluates projections concerning the Company’s probable insurance recoveries considering any changes to the projected liabilities, the Company’s recovery experience or other relevant factors that may impact future insurance recoveries.

We recorded gross liabilities associated with known and future expected asbestos claims of $73.8 million and $79.0 million as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Known and future expected asbestos claims of $15.0 million and $21.5 million are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Known and future expected asbestos claims of $58.8 million and $57.5 million

are included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of both July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We recorded the related projected insurance recoveries of $40.0 million and $45.0 million as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Projected insurance recoveries in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of July 1, 2022 include $9.7 million in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $30.3 million in Other assets. Projected insurance recoveries in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 include $14.8 million in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $30.2 million in Other assets.

Guarantees

As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had guarantees consisting primarily of outstanding standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance and bid bonds of approximately $87.1 million and $92.6 million, respectively. These guarantees have been provided in connection with certain arrangements with vendors, customers, financing counterparties, and governmental entities to secure our obligations and/or performance requirements related to specific transactions. In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of our obligations.

Refer to Note 5. Financing for information regarding guarantees of the Notes by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where our assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within a valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Below is a summary of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of:


($ in millions)	Quoted Prices in Active Market (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
July 1, 2022
Equity securities measured at fair value	$	135.1	$	—	$	—	$	135.1
Earn-out liabilities	—		—		4.5		4.5
Deferred compensation liabilities	—		5.1		—		5.1
December 31, 2021
Deferred compensation liabilities	$	—	$	4.8	$	—	$	4.8

Certain management employees participate in our nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit such employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis, until after their termination of employment. All amounts deferred under such plans are unfunded, unsecured obligations and are presented as a component of our compensation and benefits accrual included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Participants may choose among alternative earning rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within our defined contribution plans for the benefit of U.S. employees (“401(k) Programs”) (except that the earnings rates for amounts contributed unilaterally by the Company are entirely based on changes in the value of our common stock). Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts, which are based on the applicable earnings rates.

Other Investments

The Company holds a minority interest in Tritium Holdings Pty, Ltd (“Tritium”) which historically was recorded at cost in Other assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. On January 13, 2022, Tritium announced that it completed a business combination with Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation II to make Tritium a publicly listed company on NASDAQ under the symbol “DCFC”. As Tritium is now publicly traded, the Company records its investment at fair value in Equity securities measured at fair value on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets with changes in the value recorded in Unrealized (loss)/gain on equity securities measured at fair value on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at cost and are not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. These assets include finite-lived intangible assets, which are tested when a triggering event occurs, and goodwill and identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset may not be recoverable.

As of July 1, 2022, assets carried on the balance sheet and not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis were $1.7 billion of goodwill and $642.7 million of identifiable intangible assets, net.

Refer to Note 5. Financing for information related to the fair value of the Company’s borrowings.

NOTE 12. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the Separation, we entered into the Agreements with Fortive which govern the Separation and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward, including an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, an FBS license agreement and a transition services agreement.

Employee Matters Agreement

The employee matters agreement sets forth, among other things, the allocation of assets, liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee compensation and benefit plans and programs and other related matters in connection with the Separation, including the treatment of outstanding equity and other incentive awards and certain retirement and welfare benefit obligations.

Tax Matters Agreement

The tax matters agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of both Fortive and Vontier after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes.

Intellectual Property Matters Agreement

The intellectual property matters agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Fortive and Vontier have mutually granted certain personal, generally irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free rights to use certain intellectual property. Both parties are able to sublicense their rights in connection with activities relating to their businesses, but not for independent use by third parties.

FBS License Agreement

The FBS license agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Fortive has granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, perpetual license to us to use FBS solely in support of our businesses. We are able to sublicense such license solely to direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”)

The TSA sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Vontier and our subsidiaries and Fortive and its subsidiaries will provide to each other various services after the Separation. The services to be provided include information technology, facilities, certain accounting and other financial functions, and administrative services. The charges for the transition services generally are expected to allow the providing company to fully recover all out-of-pocket costs and expenses it actually incurs in connection with providing the service, plus, in some cases, the allocated indirect costs of providing the services, generally without profit.

TSA Payments

In accordance with the TSA, receipts from Fortive were immaterial during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021. During the six months ended July 2, 2021, we made net payments to Fortive of $48.5 million. Net payments during the six months ended July 2, 2021 included approximately $30 million of our share of the transaction taxes related to the Separation. There were no payments made during the three months ended July 2, 2021.

Net payments made during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 were not significant.

NOTE 13. CAPITALIZATION AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Capital Stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 1,985,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock with no par value, all of which shares of preferred stock are undesignated.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares under stock-based compensation plans except where the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive impact.

Information related to the calculation of net earnings per share of common stock is summarized as follows:

Share Repurchase Program

On May 24, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a replenishment of the Company’s previously approved share repurchase program announced in May 2021, bringing the total amount authorized for future share repurchases back up to $500

million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company will purchase shares of common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of shares repurchased will be determined by the Company’s management based on market conditions, share price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The Company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate purchases under the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and has no expiration date.

In February 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) with a third-party financial institution whereupon we provided them with a prepayment of $250.0 million and received an initial delivery of 8.2 million shares of our common stock. During the three months ended July 1, 2022, we received an additional 1.8 million shares of our common stock as final settlement of the ASR. In total, the Company repurchased 10.0 million shares under the ASR at an average price of $25.11 per share.

During the six months ended July 1, 2022, the Company repurchased an additional 0.9 million of the Company’s shares for $21.1 million through open market transactions at an average price per share of $23.65. Additionally, as of July 1, 2022, repurchases of 0.30 million shares for $7.0 million were unsettled.

As of July 1, 2022, the Company has remaining authorization to repurchase $479 million of its common stock under the share repurchase program.

NOTE 14. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

Hennessy

During the three months ended July 1, 2022, the Company reached the strategic decision to exit our Hennessy business. The Company determined that the associated assets and liabilities met the held for sale accounting criteria and they were classified as Current assets held for sale and Current liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of July 1, 2022. The assets and liabilities were measured at the lower of fair value less costs to sell or the carrying value. The operations of Hennessy did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.

Global Traffic Technologies

During the three months ended July 1, 2022, the Company reached the strategic decision to exit our Global Traffic Technologies business (collectively with Hennessy, the “Disposal Groups”). The Company determined that the associated assets and liabilities met the held for sale accounting criteria and they were classified as Current assets held for sale and Current liabilities held for sale in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of July 1, 2022. The assets and liabilities were measured at the lower of fair value less costs to sell or the carrying value. The operations of Global Traffic Technologies did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management and is intended to help the reader understand the results and operations and financial condition of the Company. Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this quarterly report, in other documents we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in our press releases, webcasts, conference calls, materials delivered to shareholders and other communications, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the Report, document, press release, webcast, call, materials or other communication in which they are made. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those envisaged in the forward-looking statements include the following:

•The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers, and vendors is having, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our business and results of operations.

•Changes in, or status of implementation of, industry standards and governmental regulations, including interpretation or enforcement thereof, may reduce demand for our products or services, increase our expenses or otherwise adversely impact our business model.

•Our growth depends in part on the timely development and commercialization, and customer acceptance, of new and enhanced products and services based on technological innovation.

•The indemnification provisions of acquisition agreements by which we have acquired companies may not fully protect us and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities.

•Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation; failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our financial statements and our business, including our reputation.

•International economic, political, war or hostility, legal, compliance, supply chain, epidemic and business factors could negatively affect our financial statements.

•We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill and other intangible assets.

•We are party to asbestos-related product litigation that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

•Our restructuring actions could have long-term adverse effects on our business.

•As of the date of this quarterly report, we have outstanding indebtedness of approximately $2.6 billion and the ability to incur an additional $750.0 million of indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility, as defined above, and in the future we may incur additional indebtedness. This indebtedness could adversely affect our businesses and our ability to meet our obligations and pay dividends.

•We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

•Any inability to consummate acquisitions at our historical rates and at appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price.

•Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures and other strategic relationships could negatively impact our financial statements.

•Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities or assessments could affect our profitability. In addition, audits by tax authorities could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.

•Adverse changes in our relationships with, or the financial condition, performance, purchasing patterns or inventory levels of, key distributors and other channel partners could adversely affect our financial statements.

•Our financial results are subject to fluctuations in the cost and availability of commodities that we use in our operations.

•If we cannot adjust our manufacturing capacity or the purchases required for our manufacturing activities to reflect changes in market conditions and customer demand, our profitability may suffer. In addition, our reliance upon sole or limited sources of supply for certain materials, components and services could cause production interruptions, delays and inefficiencies.

•Potential indemnification liabilities to Fortive pursuant to the separation agreement could materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, there can be no assurance that Fortive’s performance of its indemnity obligations to us under the separation agreement regarding certain liabilities will be sufficient.

•If there is a determination that the distribution, together with certain related transactions, is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings underlying Fortive’s private letter ruling from the IRS or tax opinion are incorrect or for any other reason, then Fortive and its stockholders could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities, and we could also incur significant liabilities.

•We may be affected by significant restrictions, including on our ability to engage in certain corporate transactions for a two-year period after the distribution in order to avoid triggering significant tax-related liabilities.

•Fortive may compete with us.

•We may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the separation, and the separation may adversely affect our businesses.

See “Item 1.A. Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for a further discussion regarding reasons that actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, document, press release, webcast, call, materials or other communication in which they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

General

Vontier Corporation (“Vontier,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global industrial technology company that focuses on critical technical equipment, components, and software and services for manufacturing, repair and servicing in the mobility infrastructure industry worldwide. We supply a wide range of solutions spanning advanced environmental sensors; fueling equipment; field payment hardware; point-of-sale; workflow and monitoring software; vehicle tracking and fleet management; software solutions for traffic light control; and vehicle mechanics’ and technicians’ equipment. We market our products and services to retail and commercial fueling operators, convenience store and in-bay car wash operators, tunnel car wash businesses, commercial vehicle repair businesses, municipal governments and public safety entities and fleet owners/operators on a global basis.

Our research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service and administrative operations are located in more than 30 countries across North America, Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America. In addition, we sell our products in these countries and multiple other markets in these regions. We define high-growth markets as developing markets of the world experiencing extended periods of accelerated growth in gross domestic product and infrastructure, which include Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia, with the exception of Japan and Australia.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK

Business Performance

On an overall basis, sales of our hardware and software products and services increased during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022. As compared to the comparable periods of 2021, aggregate year-over-year total sales increased 7.2% and 6.5% for the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively. Sales from existing businesses increased 1.6% and 0.8% during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in 2021.

The increase in total sales during the three months ended July 1, 2022 was primarily driven by our acquisition of DRB Systems, LLC (“DRB”), which is part of our mobility technologies platform as well as strong demand for environmental and alternative energy solutions. The Company saw strong demand for environmental and alternative energy solutions within our mobility technologies platform but was impacted by the lower rate of demand related to the enhanced credit card security requirements for outdoor payment systems based on the Europay, Mastercard and Visa (“EMV”) global standards, the end of Mexico fiscal regulation upgrades, and in our diagnostics and repair technologies platform. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted our sales growth by 2.6% during the three months ended July 1, 2022 compared to the comparable period in 2021.

The increase in total sales during the six months ended July 1, 2022 was primarily driven by our acquisition of DRB. Our mobility technologies platform had strong demand for alternative energy and environmental solutions but was impacted by the lower rate of demand related to the enhanced credit card security requirements for outdoor payment systems based on the Europay, Mastercard and Visa (“EMV”) global standards as well as the end of Mexico fiscal regulation upgrades. Additionally, total sales increased due to our diagnostics and repair technologies platform which experienced strong demand across most product categories, most notably specialty tools and diagnostics as well as the impact of price increases by the Company across its portfolio. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted our sales growth by 2.0% during the six months ended July 1, 2022 compared to the comparable period in 2021.

In developed markets, year-over-year total sales and sales from existing businesses for the three months ended July 1, 2022 increased at a rate in the high single digits and low single digits, respectively. The increase in total sales was primarily due to an increase in North America related to the impact of our acquisition of DRB and strong demand for our alternative energy solutions which was partially offset by declines in Western Europe. High growth markets decreased at a rate in the mid single digits primarily due to declines in Latin America primarily due to the end of Mexico fiscal regulation upgrades.

In developed markets, year-over-year total sales and sales from existing businesses for the six months ended July 1, 2022 increased at a rate in the high single digits and low single digits, respectively. The increase in total sales was primarily due to an increase in North America related to the impact of our acquisition of DRB and strong demand for our alternative energy solutions which was partially offset by declines in Western Europe. High growth markets decreased at a rate in the low double digits primarily due to declines in Latin America primarily due to the end of Mexico fiscal regulation upgrades.

In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine resulting in broad economic sanctions being imposed on Russia that has further increased existing global supply chain, logistic, and inflationary challenges. We have indefinitely ceased all sales and shipments in Russia. Our business in Russia and Ukraine were not material to our results and accounted for less than 1% of total revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. As of July 1, 2022, our net assets in Russia totaled less than $1.0 million.

Outlook

We expect overall sales and sales from existing businesses to grow on a year-over-year basis in 2022. Our outlook is subject to the below factors as well as additional uncertainties as identified in “Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements” above.

We anticipate that supply chain and inflationary pressures will persist throughout 2022 and that although our backlog may decline compared to 2021, it may remain elevated compared to historical levels. We will continue to deploy the Vontier Business System to actively manage production challenges, collaborate with customers and suppliers to minimize disruptions and utilize price increases and other countermeasures to offset inflationary pressures.

We are monitoring the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the global economy and our business, including government mandated containment measures, such as the lockdown implemented in Shanghai, China. Continued implementation or expansion of government mandated containment measures, including shutdowns in countries such as China, could have a material adverse impact on our future results.

We are also monitoring developments in international trade, monetary and fiscal policies and relations between the U.S. and China, as well as evaluating proposed investment and taxation policy initiatives being debated in the United States and by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. We continue to monitor the Russia Ukraine Conflict and the impact on our business and operations. As of the filing date of this report, we do not believe they are material.

Total sales within our mobility technologies platform increased low double digits during the three months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period of 2021 which was primarily attributable to our acquisition of DRB. Our sales from existing businesses in our mobility technologies platform were up low single digits primarily due to strong demand for environmental and alternative energy solutions which were partially offset by the lower rate of demand related to the enhanced credit card security requirements for outdoor payment systems based on the EMV global standards as well as the end of Mexico fiscal regulation upgrades.

Total sales within our mobility technologies platform increased high single digits during the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period of 2021 which was primarily attributable to our acquisition of DRB. Our sales from existing businesses in our mobility technologies platform increased low single digits primarily due to strong demand for environmental and alternative energy solutions which were partially offset by the lower rate of demand related to the enhanced credit card security requirements for outdoor payment systems based on the EMV global standards as well as the end of Mexico fiscal regulation upgrades.

Total sales and sales from existing businesses within our diagnostics and repair technologies platform decreased mid single digits during the three months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021 due to a normalization of

demand to a more typical growth and operating profile at post-pandemic levels. Additionally, we experienced some labor challenges that did not allow us to reduce backlog as anticipated.

Total sales and sales from existing businesses within our diagnostics and repair technologies platform increased low single digits during the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021. The results of our diagnostics and repair technologies platform were driven primarily by continued strong demand across most product categories, most notably specialty tools and diagnostics.

The impact on the Company of price increases are reflected as a component of the change in sales from existing businesses, and year-over-year price increases contributed 5.7% and 5.0% to sales growth during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 versus the comparable periods in 2021.

The impact of currency translation decreased reported sales 2.6% and 2.0% on a year-over-year basis during the three and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022, respectively, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most other major currencies in 2022 compared to the comparable periods of 2021.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased $22.2 million for the three months ended July 1, 2022, as compared to the comparable period in 2021, which was due primarily to the impact of the acquisition of DRB as well as increased costs due to inflationary pressures.

The year-over-year increase of $39.4 million in cost of sales for the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021 was primarily due to the impact of DRB as well as increased costs due to inflationary pressures.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased during the three months ended July 1, 2022, as compared to the comparable period in 2021, which was primarily due to the impact of the Company’s price increases and the impact of the acquisition of DRB and was partially offset by the increased costs due to inflationary pressures.

The year-over-year increase in gross profit for the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021 is primarily due to the impact of the Company’s price increases and the impact of the acquisition of DRB and was partially offset by the increased costs due to inflationary pressures.

The 80 basis point increase in gross profit margin during both the three and six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable periods in 2021 is primarily due to price increases and the impact of the DRB acquisition which were partially offset by increased costs due to inflationary pressures.

Operating Costs and Other Expenses

SG&A expenses increased by $12.1 million, or 10 basis points as a percentage of sales, during the three months ended July 1, 2022, as compared to the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of DRB.

SG&A expenses increased by $32.4 million, or 80 basis points as a percentage of sales, during the six months ended July 1, 2022, as compared to the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to the impact of the acquisition of DRB.

R&D expenses (consisting principally of internal and contract engineering personnel costs) increased $2.0 million and $3.3 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods in 2021, primarily due to the impact of our acquisitions of DRB and Driivz. R&D expense as a percentage of sales was relatively flat during the three and six months ended July 1, 2022.

Operating Profit

Operating profit margin increased 90 basis points during the three months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021.

Year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by:

•The year-over-year impacts of sales volumes, price, sales mix, other operating impacts and changes in foreign currency exchange rates — favorable 380 basis points

•The year-over-year operating effect of our acquisition of DRB — favorable 130 basis points

Year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons were primarily impacted by the following unfavorable factors:

•The year-over-year operating effect of our current year acquisitions — unfavorable 50 basis points

•Increased costs due to inflationary pressures — unfavorable 370 basis points

Operating profit margin increased 10 basis points during the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021.

Year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by:

•The year-over-year impacts of sales volumes, price, sales mix, other operating impacts and changes in foreign currency exchange rates — favorable 270 basis points

•The year-over-year operating effect of our acquisition of DRB — favorable 110 basis points

Year-over-year operating profit margin comparisons were primarily impacted by the following unfavorable factors:

•The year-over-year operating effect of our current year acquisitions — unfavorable 50 basis points

•Increased costs due to inflationary pressures — unfavorable 320 basis points

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Sales from Existing Businesses

We define sales from existing businesses as total sales excluding (i) sales from acquired and divested businesses; (ii) the impact of currency translation; and (iii) certain other items.

•References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations.

•The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales, including foreign operations, (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.

•The portion of sales attributable to other items is calculated as the impact of those items which are not directly correlated to sales from existing businesses which do not have an impact on the current or comparable period.

Sales from existing businesses should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, total sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of sales from existing businesses provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation and certain other items from sales from existing businesses because these items are either not under management’s control or relate to items not directly correlated to sales from existing businesses. Management believes the exclusion of these items from sales from existing businesses may facilitate assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance. References to sales volume refer to the impact of both price and unit sales.

INCOME TAXES

General

Income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s assessment of future taxes expected to be paid on items reflected in our financial statements. Our effective tax rate can be affected by, among other items, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates (including as a result of business acquisitions and dispositions), changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the implementation of tax planning strategies, tax rulings, court decisions, settlements with tax authorities and changes in tax laws.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Comprehensive income (loss) decreased by $110.0 million during the three months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021 primarily due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency adjustments of $61.1 million and net earnings that were lower by $49.0 million.

Comprehensive income (loss) increased by $49.8 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021 primarily due to net earnings that were higher by $110.2 million and unfavorable changes in foreign currency adjustments of $60.5 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. We generate substantial cash from operating activities and believe that our operating cash flow and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to allow us to continue to invest in existing businesses, consummate strategic acquisitions, make interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and manage our capital structure on a short and long-term basis.

2022 Financing and Capital Transactions

During the six months ended July 1, 2022, we completed the following financing and capital transactions:

•Entered into a $250.0 million accelerated share repurchase program under which we received 10.0 million shares which are held as Treasury stock;

•Repurchased 0.9 million shares in the open market which are held as Treasury stock.

Our long-term debt requires, among others, that we maintain certain financial covenants, and we were in compliance with all of these covenants as of July 1, 2022.

Refer also to Note 5. Financing to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

Overview of Cash Flows and Liquidity

Following is an overview of our cash flows and liquidity:

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for income taxes, various employee liabilities, restructuring activities, and other items impact reported cash flows.

Cash flows from operating activities were $48.5 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022, a decrease of $168.0 million, as compared to the comparable period in 2021. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to the following factors:

•Operating cash flows were impacted slightly by the year-over-year increase in operating profit which was primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $53.1 million and was partially offset by an increase of Selling, general and administrative expenses of $32.4 million.

•The aggregate of accounts receivable and long-term financing receivables used $31.8 million of operating cash flows during the six months ended July 1, 2022 compared to providing $47.3 million in the comparable period of 2021. The amount of cash flow generated from or used by accounts receivable depends upon how effectively we manage the cash conversion cycle and can be significantly impacted by the timing of collections in a period. Additionally, when we originate certain financing receivables, we assume the financing receivable by decreasing the franchisee’s trade accounts receivable. As a result, originations of certain financing receivables are non-cash transactions.

•The aggregate of other operating assets and liabilities used $165.4 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022 compared to using $48.8 million in the comparable period of 2021. This change is due primarily to the timing of accruals and payments as well as working capital needs.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $190.9 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021 primarily due to the cash paid for the acquisitions closed in the six months ended July 1, 2022.

Financing Activities and Indebtedness

Net cash from financing activities decreased by $401.0 million during the six months ended July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021 primarily due to the repurchase of our stock through the ASR and open-market of $271.1 million as well as the impact of net proceeds from long-term borrowings in the prior year comparable period of $186.5 million as compared to net long-term borrowings of $14.0 million in the current year.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations as disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

As of July 1, 2022, we had $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Term Loans. Our obligations to pay principal and interest on the Notes and Term Loans are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by the Guarantors. Our other subsidiaries do not guarantee any such indebtedness (collectively, “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Refer to Note 5. Financing to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our Notes and the Term Loans.

The Notes and the guarantees thereof are the Company’s and the guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and:

•rank without preference or priority among themselves and equally in right of payment with our existing and any future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, including, without limitation, indebtedness under our credit agreement;

•are senior in right of payment to any of our existing and future indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes;

•are effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness; and

•are structurally subordinated to all existing and any future indebtedness and any other liabilities of our non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The following tables present summarized financial information for Vontier Corporation and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis and after the elimination of (a) intercompany transactions and balances between Vontier Corporation and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (b) equity in earnings from and investments in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.
