HELIOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED, UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Currencies in thousands, except per share data)

1. COMPANY BACKGROUND

Helios Technologies, Inc. (“Helios,” or the “Company”) together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology for diverse end markets, including construction, material handling, agriculture, energy, recreational vehicles, marine and health and wellness. Helios sells its products to customers in over 90 countries around the world. The Company’s strategy for growth is to be the leading provider in niche markets, with premier products and solutions through innovative product development and acquisitions.

The Company operates in two business segments: Hydraulics and Electronics. There are three key technologies within the Hydraulics segment: cartridge valve technology (“CVT”), quick-release hydraulic coupling solutions (“QRC”) and hydraulic system design (“Systems”). CVT products provide functions important to a hydraulic system: to control rates and direction of fluid flow and to regulate and control pressures. QRC products allow users to connect and disconnect quickly from any hydraulic circuit without leakage and ensure high-performance under high temperature and pressure using one or multiple couplers. Systems provide engineered solutions for machine users, manufacturers or designers to fulfill complete system design requirements including electro-hydraulic, remote control, electronic control and programmable logic controller systems, as well as automation of existing equipment. The Electronics segment provides complete, fully-tailored display and control solutions for engines, engine-driven equipment, specialty vehicles, therapy baths and traditional and swim spas. This broad range of products is complemented by extensive application expertise and unparalleled depth of software, embedded programming, hardware and sustaining engineering teams.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The financial statements are prepared on a consistent basis (including normal recurring adjustments) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 (“Form 10-K”), filed by Helios with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2022. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements are reflected in the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended April 2, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 from those estimates.

In connection with the transactions, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate as agreed upon with the respective counterparties and receives variable rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The aggregate notional amount of the swaps was $270,000 as of April 2, 2022. The notional amount decreases periodically through the dates of expiration in April 2023 and October 2025. The contracts are settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at each settlement date.

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company has entered into forward contracts to economically hedge translational and transactional exposure associated with various business units whose local currency differs from the Company’s reporting currency. The Company’s forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

At April 2, 2022, the Company had seven forward foreign exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of €40,000, maturing at various dates through September 2023.

Net Investment Hedge

The Company utilizes foreign currency denominated debt to hedge currency exposure in foreign operations.

9. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 was 22.4% and 23.2% of pretax income, respectively. These effective rates fluctuate relative to the levels of income and different tax rates in effect among the countries in which the Company sells products.

At April 2, 2022, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $9,710 including accrued interest. If recognized, $2,289 of unrecognized tax benefit would reduce the effective tax rate in future periods. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Interest accrued as of April 2, 2022 is not considered material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company remains subject to income tax examinations in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2009-2019. Although the Company is not currently under examination in most jurisdictions, limited transfer pricing disputes exist for years dating back to 2008. The Company estimates a net benefit ranging from $0 to $207 could be recognized within the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan ("2019 Plan") and its predecessor equity plan provide for the grant of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend or dividend equivalent rights, stock awards and other awards valued in whole or in part by reference to or otherwise based on the Company’s common stock, to officers, employees and directors of the Company.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in connection with a long-term incentive plan. Awards with time-based vesting requirements primarily vest ratably over a three-year period. Awards with performance-based vesting requirements cliff vest after a three-year performance cycle and only after the achievement of certain performance criteria over that cycle. The number of shares ultimately issued for the performance-based units may vary from 0% to 200% of their target amount based on the achievement of defined performance targets.

Compensation expense recognized for RSUs totaled $2,259 and $1,360, respectively, for the three months ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021.

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the three months ended April 2, 2022:

				Weighted Average
	Number of Units			Grant-Date

Stock Options

In 2020 and 2021, the Company granted stock options to its officers. As of April 2, 2022, there were 14,931 unvested options and 10,034 vested unexercised options. The exercise prices per share, which range from $35.04 to $55.30, are equal to the market price of Helios stock on the respective grant dates. The options vest ratably over a three-year period and have a 10-year expiration. The grant date fair value of the options was estimated using a Black Scholes valuation model. At April 2, 2022, the Company had $234 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Director Compensation

Effective January 1, 2022, the board terminated the 2012 Non-Employee Director Fees Plan (the “2012 Directors Plan”) and approved a new Helios Technologies, Inc.

OVERVIEW

We are a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology for diverse end markets, including construction, material handling, agriculture, energy, recreational vehicles, marine and health and wellness.

We operate under two business segments: Hydraulics and Electronics. The Hydraulics segment designs and manufactures hydraulic cartridge valves, hydraulic quick release couplings as well as engineers complete hydraulic systems. The Electronics segment designs and manufactures customized electronic controls systems and displays for a variety of end markets including industrial and mobile, recreational and health and wellness.

In November 2016, we announced a vision to achieve $1.0 billion in sales in 2025, through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions, and to deliver operating margins in excess of 20%. In 2021, we augmented our strategy and accelerated our growth plans to achieve the milestone of over $1.0 billion in sales with top tier adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25% in 2023.

Underpinning our expectation of compounded annual growth of approximately two times our market's growth rates, we have an active pipeline and a history of acquiring companies with niche technologies, as well as strong profitability.

Recent Acquisitions

Our acquisition activity, driven by our strategic vision, has enabled us to diversify our product offerings and the markets we serve and expand our geographic presence. Prior to 2016, we operated primarily in the Hydraulics market with a small presence in electronics.

In January 2021, we acquired all of the assets of BJN Technologies, LLC, an innovative engineering solutions provider that was founded in 2014. With the acquisition, we formed the Helios Center of Engineering Excellence to centralize our innovation and technology advancements to better leverage existing talents across the electronics segment initially, and then throughout all of Helios.

In July 2021, we completed another flywheel acquisition with NEM S.r.l. ("NEM"), an innovative hydraulic solutions company providing customized material handling, construction, industrial vehicle and agricultural applications to its global customer base, predominantly in Europe and Asia. NEM enhances the Helios electro-hydraulic product offering, provides geographic expansion and adds scale to address new markets.

In October 2021, we completed the acquisition of assets related to the electronic control systems and parts business of Shenzhen Joyonway Electronics & Technology Co., Ltd and its related entities (collectively, "Joyonway"). Joyonway is a fast-growing developer of control panels, software, systems and accessories for the health and wellness industry. Joyonway operates from two locations in China, Shenzhen and Dongguan, both of which are in the hub of electronics and software development in China. This provides us a foothold for electronics manufacturing in Asia.

Global Economic Conditions

COVID-19 Update

We continue to experience impacts to our operations from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, at the beginning of the second quarter our locations in China began to shut down periodically due to regulatory lockdown measures associated with a COVID-19 outbreak.

We continue to face constraints on our ability to source certain electronic and other components, which originated from the high demand for these products caused by the pandemic. While we have been able to mitigate the majority of the impact with our procurement efforts and production schedule adjustments, we are experiencing delays in shipments as well as material and logistics cost increases.

We are also facing some disruption to our workforce from the pandemic. While the impact has not been significant, the absenteeism has caused labor inefficiencies in production. The Omicron variant impacted fourth quarter labor efficiency, and we continued to experience the effects through January 2022. Additionally, in certain locations we are facing pressure from competitive labor markets; however, to date we have been successful at minimizing the impact on our operations.

We are closely monitoring the various laws, regulations and executive orders that could impact future periods relating to government-imposed requirements regarding mandatory testing for COVID-19 in the workplace and/or vaccination requirements for employees. The Company has taken and is in the process of taking necessary steps to comply with applicable requirements. At this time, we do not believe there will be a material impact on our operations due to these requirements.

Our outlook for the remainder of the 2022 fiscal year assumes the global economy continues to recover; however, we cannot at this time predict any future impacts. The Company continues to monitor developments, new strains and variants of COVID-19 and government requirements and recommendations at the national, state and local levels, as well as vaccine mandates, to evaluate whether to reinstate and/or extend certain initiatives it implemented to help contain the spread of COVID-19. Refer to Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for additional COVID-19 related discussion.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine

In February of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. As a result, several governments have enacted sanctions against Russia and Russian interests. The conflict has led to economic uncertainty and market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity and energy prices and credit and capital markets. We do not have operations in the region, and less than 1% of our sales are to Russia and Ukraine customers. In Europe we are experiencing increased energy and raw material costs, logistics issues and reduced orders from customers who do business in the region. The broader consequences of the conflict could impact our business through increased inflation, further increases or fluctuations in commodity and energy prices, further disruptions to the global supply chain, reduced availability of certain natural resources and other adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions.

Industry Conditions

Market demand for our products is dependent on demand for the industrial goods in which the products are incorporated. The capital goods industries in general, and the Hydraulics and Electronics segments specifically, are subject to economic cycles. We utilize industry trend reports from various sources, as well as feedback from customers and distributors, to evaluate economic trends. We also rely on global government statistics such as Gross Domestic Product and Purchasing Managers Index to understand macroeconomic conditions.

21

Hydraulics

According to the National Fluid Power Association (the fluid power industry’s trade association in the U.S.), the U.S. index of shipments of hydraulic products increased 15.7% during the first quarter of 2022, after increasing 20.9% during 2021. In Europe, the CEMA Business Barometer reports that the general business climate index for the European agricultural machinery industry continues to fall but is holding at a positive level. The favorable index peaked in June 2021 and has since continued to decline. The report further noted that price increases and shortages on the supplier side continue to challenge the industry heavily and many companies are planning a temporary production stop due to a shortage of parts in the upcoming weeks. The Committee for European Construction Equipment (“CECE”) business climate index reports that the index saw a large drop in March in 2022. Further noted was that incoming orders and sales in Europe remain on a consistent growth path but that supply-chain disruptions remain the greatest challenge for businesses.

Electronics

The Federal Reserve’s Industrial Production Index, which measures the real output of all relevant establishments located in the U.S., reports first quarter 2022 sales of semiconductors and other electronics components was flat over the fourth quarter of 2021 after increasing consistently since the end of the first quarter of 2021. The Institute of Printed Circuits Association (“IPC”) reported that total North American printed circuit board (“PCB”) shipments decreased 11.7% in March 2022 compared with the same month last year; compared with February 2022, March shipments grew 5.6%. The IPC also reported that North American electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) shipments were up 2.3% in March 2022 compared with the same month last year; compared with February 2022, March shipments grew 14.3%. Demand continues to exceed supply for both PCB and EMS products as the book-to-bill ratios were 1.05 and 1.44 in March, respectively, as reported by the ICP. Further noted was the slowdown in incoming orders in recent months, which indicates early signs of slowing demand.

2022 First Quarter Results and Comparison of the Three Months Ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021

(in millions except per share data)

	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2022			April 3, 2021			$ Change		% Change
Net sales	$	240.5		$	204.8		$	35.7		17.4	%

Diluted net income per share	$	0.94		$	0.70		$	0.24		34.3	%

First quarter consolidated net sales totaled $240.5 million, an increase of $35.7 million over the prior-year first quarter. Acquisition growth accounted for $7.2 million of the increase and we experienced significant organic growth of $28.5 million, 13.9%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the first quarter of 2021, had an unfavorable impact on sales for the quarter totaling $4.7 million, 2.0%, and earnings per share by $0.02. Price increases added $9.6 million to first quarter organic sales compared with the prior-year period. Organic sales improved in all regions compared to the first quarter of 2021, with the Americas and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa ("EMEA") regions growing 21.5% and 18.7%, respectively, and Asia Pacific ("APAC") expanding by 4.0%, excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Sales in most of our end markets improved over the first quarter of 2021, with our mobile equipment and health and wellness end markets leading the growth.

22

Gross profit grew by $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to increased sales volume. Gross margin declined by 2.0 percentage points compared with the prior-year first quarter driven by increases in logistics and raw material costs which were not fully absorbed by the price increases. Material costs as a percentage of sales, excluding pricing changes and acquisition-related sales, increased in the first quarter by 4.1 percentage points compared to the prior-year first quarter. We have passed on certain material and freight cost increases to customers by implementing price increases.

Operating income as a percentage of sales increased 0.9 percentage points to 17.8% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 16.9% in the prior-year period. Acquisition related amortization declined $3.2 million as the sales order backlog intangible acquired with the Balboa acquisition was fully amortized in the second quarter of 2021. Improved leverage of our selling, engineering and administrative ("SEA") level fixed cost base on the higher sales volume was reduced by the gross margin level changes and increases in payroll and benefit costs to support our operating growth.

SEGMENT RESULTS

Hydraulics

The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Hydraulics segment (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2022			April 3, 2021			$ Change		% Change
Net sales	$	137.1		$	119.1		$	18.0		15.1	%
Gross profit	$	50.8		$	45.4		$	5.4		11.9	%
Gross profit %		37.1	%		38.1	%
Operating income	$	31.6		$	28.1		$	3.5		12.5	%
Operating income %		23.1	%		23.6	%

First quarter net sales for the Hydraulics segment totaled $137.1 million, an increase of $18.0 million, 15.1%, compared with the prior-year first quarter. Acquisition-related sales accounted for $6.4 million of the increase and sales from our organic businesses improved $11.6 million, 9.7%. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the first quarter of 2021, had an unfavorable impact on sales totaling $4.5 million. Price increases added $3.9 million to first quarter sales compared with the prior-year first quarter. Sales growth benefited from continued end market recovery from the pandemic as we experienced improved demand in the Americas and EMEA regions, as well as many of our end markets driven by the mobile and industrial equipment markets.

The segment’s supply chain continues to experience constraints on its ability to source certain components. While the effect on sales has been mitigated by our increased procurement efforts and production schedule adjustments, we estimate that approximately $6.6 million of sales were delayed into future quarters due to the supply shortages.

The following table presents net sales based on the geographic region of the sale for the Hydraulics segment (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2022		April 3, 2021		$ Change			% Change
Americas	$	43.1	$	34.3	$	8.8			25.7	%
EMEA		52.9		43.3		9.6			22.2	%
APAC		41.1		41.5		(0.4	)		(1.0	)%
Total	$	137.1	$	119.1

Demand in the Americas region improved during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior-year first quarter as sales increased $8.8 million, 25.7%. Improved demand and our recent acquisition in the region generated an increase in sales to the EMEA region of $9.6 million, 22.2%, compared with the 2021 first quarter, or 29.6% excluding negative impacts from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations totaling $3.2 million. Sales to the APAC region declined $0.4 million, 1.0%, compared with the first quarter of 2021, but improved 2.2% excluding negative impacts from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations totaling $1.3 million.

23

In the first quarter of 2022, gross profit increased $5.4 million, 11.9%, compared with the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to higher sales volume. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the first quarter of 2021 reduced gross profit by $1.5 million. Gross profit margin declined over the same period by 1.0 percentage point to 37.1% as price increases and fixed cost leverage on the higher sales were more than offset by increases in material, logistics and labor costs and the unfavorable impacts from foreign currency exchange rates. Material costs as a percentage of sales, excluding pricing changes and acquisition-related sales, increased in the first quarter by 1.8 percentage points compared to the prior year first quarter.

SEA expenses increased $1.9 million, 11.0%, in the first quarter of 2022 compared with the same period of the prior year. SEA costs from our recent acquisitions and increases in payroll and benefit costs were the primary drivers. Additionally, the segment incurred $0.3 million in costs related to various restructuring activities during the first quarter. Increased leverage of our fixed cost base on higher sales led to SEA as a percent of sales decreasing 0.5 percentage points during the quarter to 14.0% compared to the 2021 first quarter.

As a result of the impacts to gross profit and SEA noted above, first quarter operating income increased $3.5 million, 12.5%, compared with the first quarter of the prior year, while operating margin declined 0.5 percentage points to 23.1%.

Electronics

The following table sets forth the results of operations for the Electronics segment (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2022			April 3, 2021			$ Change		% Change
Net sales	$	103.4		$	85.7		$	17.7		20.7	%
Gross profit	$	32.8		$	30.0		$	2.8		9.3	%
Gross profit %		31.7	%		35.0	%
Operating income	$	20.5		$	18.3		$	2.2		12.0	%
Operating income %		19.8	%		21.4	%

First quarter net sales for the Electronics segment totaled $103.4 million, an increase of $17.7 million compared with the prior-year first quarter. Price increases added $5.7 million of sales to the 2022 first quarter compared to the 2021 first quarter. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates minimally impacted sales for the quarter.

First quarter growth was primarily driven by improved demand in our health and wellness and recreational end markets, as well as successful capacity improvement initiatives. The segment's supply chain continues to experience constraints on its ability to source certain electronic and other components. While the effect on sales has been mitigated by our increased procurement efforts and production schedule adjustments, we estimate that approximately $11.0 million of sales were delayed into future quarters due to the shortages.

The following table presents net sales based on the geographic region of the sale for the Electronics segment (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2022		April 3, 2021		$ Change		% Change
Americas	$	77.7	$	65.0	$	12.7		19.5	%
EMEA		11.8		9.3		2.5		26.9	%
APAC		13.9		11.4		2.5		21.9	%
Total	$	103.4	$	85.7

During the first quarter of 2022, we experienced strong growth in all regions. Shipments to the Americas region improved during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior-year first quarter as sales increased $12.7 million, 19.5%. Sales to the EMEA and APAC regions increased by $2.5 million each compared to the 2021 first quarter.

24

First quarter gross profit increased $2.8 million compared with the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the increased sales volume. Gross profit margin for the same period decreased by 3.3 percentage points. The segment continues to experience increases in raw material and freight and logistics costs, due to high demand and shortages of materials in the market for electronic and other components used in our products. We have been implementing price increases, which have offset some of the impact. Material costs as a percentage of sales, excluding pricing changes, increased in the first quarter by 6.8 percentage points compared to the prior-year quarter. Additionally, increases in overhead costs related to wages, depreciation, maintenance and supplies also unfavorably impacted the results for the quarter compared to the prior-year first quarter.

SEA expenses increased by $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared with the first quarter of 2021. SEA costs as a percentage of sales decreased 1.8 percentage points to 11.9% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 13.7% in the prior-year first quarter from increased leverage of our fixed costs on the higher sales, partially offset by an increase in personnel costs to support our increase in operations.

As a result of the impacts to gross profit and SEA costs noted above, operating income increased $2.2 million during the first quarter compared to the prior-year period and operating margin declined 1.6 percentage points.

Corporate and Other

Certain costs are excluded from business segment results as they are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to, our operating segments. For the first quarter of 2022, these costs totaled $9.3 million for (i) transition costs for one of our executive officers of $0.3 million, (ii) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $7.0 million and (iii) $2.0 million related to other acquisition and integration activities.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense decreased $1.0 million to $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $4.8 million in the prior-year first quarter. The decrease is primarily a result of lower debt balances during the first quarter of 2022. Average net debt decreased to $410.8 million during the first quarter of 2022 compared with $431.7 million during the first quarter of 2021.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2022 was 22.4% of pretax income compared to 23.2% for the prior-year first quarter. These effective rates fluctuate relative to the levels of income and different tax rates in effect among the countries in which we sell our products.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has evaluated the various income and payroll tax provisions and expects little or no impact to income tax expense. However, the Company is taking advantage of the various payment deferments allowed and employee retention credits afforded by the CARES Act and other similar state and/or foreign liquidity measures. The CARES Act allowed employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer's share of Social Security taxes. We deferred 50% of the $1.7 million in payroll taxes normally due between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020. We paid 50% of this amount during the fourth quarter of 2021. The remaining balance will be paid during the fourth quarter of 2022 and is included in the Accrued compensation and benefits line item in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

25

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Historically, our primary source of capital has been cash generated from operations. In recent years, we have used borrowings on our credit facilities to fund acquisitions. During the first three months of 2022, cash provided by operating activities totaled $14.7 million. At the end of the first quarter, we had $33.0 million of available cash and cash equivalents on hand and $159.4 million of available credit on our revolving credit facilities. We also have a $300.0 million accordion feature available on our credit facility, subject to certain pro forma compliance requirements, intended to support potential future acquisitions.

Our principal uses of cash have been paying operating expenses, making capital expenditures, servicing debt, making acquisition-related payments and paying dividends to shareholders.

We believe that cash generated from operations and our borrowing availability under our credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our operating expenses. In the event that economic conditions were to severely worsen for a protracted period of time, we would have several options available to ensure liquidity in addition to increased borrowings. Capital expenditures could be postponed since they primarily pertain to long-term improvements in operations, operating expense reductions could be made and finally, the dividend to shareholders could be reduced or suspended.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	April 2, 2022			April 3, 2021			$ Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	14.7		$	15.1		$	(0.4	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(2.7	)		(7.5	)		4.8
Net cash used in financing activities		(8.8	)		(9.5	)		0.7
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		1.3			2.6			(1.3	)
Net increase in cash	$	4.5		$	0.7		$	3.8

Cash on hand increased $4.5 million from $28.6 million at the end of 2021 to $33.1 million as of April 2, 2022. Changes in exchange rates during the three months ended April 2, 2022 favorably impacted cash and cash equivalents by $1.3 million. Cash balances on hand are a result of our cash management strategy, which focuses on maintaining sufficient cash to fund operations while reinvesting cash in the Company and paying down borrowings on our credit facilities.

Operating activities

Cash from operations totaled $14.7 million during the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the prior-year period. Current quarter cash earnings (calculated as net income plus adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, excluding changes in net operating assets and liabilities) increased by $6.9 million over the prior-year first quarter. Changes in net operating assets and liabilities reduced cash by $7.3 million, compared to the prior-year first quarter, as higher working capital levels were required to support our significant increase in operations. Strategic investments in inventory reduced cash by $15.5 million and $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in inventory levels is primarily from supply chain challenges such as (i) making earlier purchases of material to avoid shortages, (ii) inventory on hand that is waiting on delayed components to complete and (iii) delayed orders by customers after we have already started the production process. Days of inventory on hand increased to 100 days as of April 2, 2022, compared with 81 days as of April 3, 2021. Changes in accounts receivable reduced cash by $17.4 million and $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Days sales outstanding increased slightly to 57 days as of April 2, 2022 from 55 days as of April 3, 2021, as our collection patterns remain fairly consistent with the prior period.

26

Investing activities

Capital expenditures totaled $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.6 million over the prior-year comparable period. Capital expenditures for 2022 are forecasted to be approximately 3%-5% of sales, for investments in machinery and equipment for capacity expansion projects, improvements to manufacturing technology and maintaining/replacing existing machine capabilities.

Cash provided from acquisition related activities in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $1.3 million, compared to cash used in the 2021 first quarter of $3.4 million.

Financing activities

Cash used for financing activities totaled $8.8 million during the first quarter of 2022, compared with cash used of $9.5 million in the prior-year first quarter. Repayments, net of borrowings, on our credit facilities totaled $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to net repayments of $5.9 million during the same period of 2021.

During the first quarter of 2022, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share payable on April 20, 2022, to shareholders of record as of April 5, 2022. The declaration and payment of future dividends is subject to the sole discretion of the board of directors, and any determination as to the payment of future dividends will depend upon our profitability, financial condition, capital needs, future prospects and other factors deemed pertinent by the board of directors.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financing arrangements. In particular, we do not have any material interest in variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and structured finance entities.

Inflation

As more fully described in Item 2 above, we are experiencing supply shortages and increasing material and logistics costs. Continued increases in the global demand for the materials used in our products could result in significant increases in the costs of the components we purchase, and we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. There is no assurance that our business will not be materially affected by inflation in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We currently apply judgment and estimates that may have a material effect on the eventual outcome of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for impairment of long-lived assets, inventory, goodwill, accruals, income taxes and fair value measurements. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are included in our Form 10-K, and any changes made during the first three months of 2022, are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements.

The Company’s forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.

At April 2, 2022, the Company had seven forward foreign exchange contracts with an aggregate notional value of €40,000, maturing at various dates through September 2023.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

9. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 was 22.4% and 23.2% of pretax income, respectively. These effective rates fluctuate relative to the levels of income and different tax rates in effect among the countries in which the Company sells products.

At April 2, 2022, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $9,710 including accrued interest. If recognized, $2,289 of unrecognized tax benefit would reduce the effective tax rate in future periods. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Interest accrued as of April 2, 2022 is not considered material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company remains subject to income tax examinations in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2009-2019. Although the Company is not currently under examination in most jurisdictions, limited transfer pricing disputes exist for years dating back to 2008. The Company estimates a net benefit ranging from $0 to $207 could be recognized within the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutes of limitation.

Share-based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan ("2019 Plan") and its predecessor equity plan provide for the grant of shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend or dividend equivalent rights, stock awards and other awards valued in whole or in part by reference to or otherwise based on the Company’s common stock, to officers, employees and directors of the Company.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in connection with a long-term incentive plan. Awards with time-based vesting requirements primarily vest ratably over a three-year period. Awards with performance-based vesting requirements cliff vest after a three-year performance cycle and only after the achievement of certain performance criteria over that cycle. The number of shares ultimately issued for the performance-based units may vary from 0% to 200% of their target amount based on the achievement of defined performance targets.

Compensation expense recognized for RSUs totaled $2,259 and $1,360, respectively, for the three months ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021.

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the three months ended April 2, 2022:

				Weighted Average
	Number of Units			Grant-Date
	(in thousands)			Fair Value per Share
Nonvested balance at January 1, 2022		237		$	45.58
Granted		84			99.10
Vested		(74	)		48.09
Forfeited		(7	)		64.99
Nonvested balance at April 2, 2022 (1)		240		$	63.08

(1) Includes 108,339 nonvested performance-based RSUs.

The Company had $12,419 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the RSU awards as of April 2, 2022. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

Stock Options

In 2020 and 2021, the Company granted stock options to its officers. As of April 2, 2022, there were 14,931 unvested options and 10,034 vested unexercised options. The exercise prices per share, which range from $35.04 to $55.30, are equal to the market price of Helios stock on the respective grant dates. The options vest ratably over a three-year period and have a 10-year expiration. The grant date fair value of the options was estimated using a Black Scholes valuation model. At April 2, 2022, the Company had $234 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Director Compensation

Effective January 1, 2022, the board terminated the 2012 Non-Employee Director Fees Plan (the “2012 Directors Plan”) and approved a new Helios Technologies, Inc. Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Director Compensation Policy”), which revised the compensation for Non-Employee Directors. The Director Compensation Policy compensates Non-Employee Directors for their board service with cash awards and equity-based compensation through grants of RSUs, issued pursuant to the 2019 Plan, which vest over a one year period. Directors were granted 3,799 RSUs during the three months ended April 2, 2022. The Company recognized director stock compensation expense of $23 for the three months ended April 2, 2022.

Directors were granted 7,375 shares of stock and the Company recognized director stock compensation expense of $538 for the three months ended April 3, 2021, under the 2012 Directors Plan.

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) in which U.S. employees are eligible to participate. Employees who choose to participate are granted an opportunity to purchase common stock at 85 percent of market value on the first or last day of the quarterly purchase period, whichever is lower. Employees in the United Kingdom (“UK”), under a separate plan, are granted an opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at market value, on the first or last day of the quarterly purchase period, whichever is lower, with the Company issuing one additional free share of common stock for each six shares purchased by the employee under the plan. Employees purchased 7,734 shares at a weighted average price of $68.48, and 7,408 shares at a weighted average price of $44.90, under the ESPP and UK plans during the three months ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively.

SEGMENT REPORTING

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has two reportable segments: Hydraulics and Electronics. These segments are organized primarily based on the similar nature of products offered for sale, the types of customers served and the methods of distribution and are consistent with how the segments are managed, how resources are allocated and how information is used by the chief operating decision makers.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on segment operating income. Certain costs were not allocated to the business segments as they are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to the Company’s segments. These costs are presented in the Corporate and other line item. For the three months ended April 2, 2022, the unallocated costs totaled $9,269 and included certain corporate costs not deemed to be allocable to either business segment of $311, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $6,980 and other acquisition and integration-related costs of $1,978. The accounting policies of the Company’s operating segments are the same as those used to prepare the accompanying Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements.
