HELIOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED, UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Currencies in millions, 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 solutions (“Systems”), which often incorporate manifold solutions with CVT and QRC technologies. 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 December 31, 2022 (“Form 10-K”), filed by Helios with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023. 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 six months ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

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.

10

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company sells certain products that contain embedded software that is integral to the functionality of the products. Internal and external costs incurred for developing this software are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established, at which point the development costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs primarily include payroll, benefits and other headcount related expenses. Once the products are available for general release to customers, no additional costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $7.3 and $5.6 at July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Earnings Per Share

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in millions, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

In March 2020, and clarified through December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The guidance was effective immediately upon issuance in March 2020 and cannot be applied subsequent to December 31, 2024, except for certain optional expedients. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. In March 2023, the Company executed an amendment to the term loan and revolving credit facility to modify and replace reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Additionally in March 2023, the company executed an amendment to the interest rate swap agreements to modify and replace reference to LIBOR. The company applied the accounting relief in accordance with ASC 848 as the relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications were executed. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our accounting policies or consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On January 27, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Schultes Precision Manufacturing, Inc. ("Schultes"), an Illinois corporation. Schultes is a highly trusted specialist in manufacturing precision machined components and assemblies for customers requiring very tight tolerances, superior quality and exceptional value-added manufacturing processes. Currently serving the hydraulic, aerospace, communication, food services, medical device and dental industries, Schultes brings the manufacturing quality, reliability and responsiveness critical to its customers’ success. The results of Schultes' operations are reported in the Company’s Hydraulics segment and have been included in the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.

11

Initial cash consideration paid at closing for Schultes, net of cash acquired, totaled $84.7. Total consideration for the acquisition is subject to a post-closing adjustment in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. Cash consideration paid at closing was funded with additional borrowings on the Company’s credit facility.

On May 26, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of i3 Product Development, Inc. (“i3”), a Wisconsin corporation. i3 is a custom engineering services firm, with over 55 engineers with expertise in electronics, mechanical, industrial, embedded and software engineering. i3's solutions are used across many sectors, including medical, off-highway, recreational and commercial marine, power sports, health and wellness, agriculture, consumer goods, industrial, sports and fitness. We anticipate that i3 will equip Helios with significant value-added professional services capabilities to provide customization to Helios platforms and to develop greenfield solutions. The results of i3's operations are reported in the Company’s Electronics segment and have been included in the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.

Initial consideration paid at closing for i3, net of cash acquired, totaled $44.6, consisting of 370,276 shares of the Company's common stock, issued in a private placement to the previous owners of i3, and cash of $25.9. Total consideration for the acquisition is subject to a post-closing adjustment in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. The cash consideration paid at closing was funded with additional borrowings on the Company’s credit facility.

In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded $36.9 of goodwill, $49.2 of other identifiable intangible assets, $34.2 of property, plant and equipment and $9.0 of other net assets. The intangible assets include customer relationships of $38.2 (15.3 year weighted average useful life), trade names and brands of $7.4 (14.0 year weighted average useful life), technology of $2.9 (5.0 year weighted average useful life) and sales order backlog of $0.7 (less than one year weighted average useful life).

The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of identified intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisitions. As additional information becomes available, management will finalize its analysis of the estimated fair value. The purchase price allocations are preliminary, pending post-closing adjustments, final intangibles valuation and tax-related adjustments, and may be revised during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition dates). Any such revisions or changes to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed could be material.

Pro forma results of operations and the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisition dates for the acquisitions completed during fiscal 2023 have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company's financial results.

Term Loans and Line of Credit with PNC Bank

The Company has a credit agreement that includes a revolving line of credit and term loan credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.

In May 2023, the Company entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto that amended the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October 28, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement” and, together with the Incremental Facility Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Incremental Facility Amendment, the Company incurred a new senior secured term loan A-2 (the “Term Loan A-2”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0. The issue price of the Term Loan A-2 was equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. The Term Loan A-2 bears interest at a rate based on either (i) the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a 0% floor) for the applicable interest period plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio or (ii) a variable rate equal to the highest of (x) the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prime rate and (z) daily simple SOFR, plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.50% and 1.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Term Loan A-2 is guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, on a pari passu basis with the other facilities under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Term Loan A-2 matures on October 28, 2025 and is not subject to any mandatory repayments prior to such maturity date.

The net proceeds from the Term Loan A-2, together with cash on hand, were used to repay outstanding amounts under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company continues to have access to an accordion feature with the ability to increase the revolver or incur additional term loans under the incremental facility of $300.0 after giving effect to borrowings under the Term Loan A-2.

The revolving line of credit allows for borrowings up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $400.0. To hedge currency exposure in foreign operations, €90.0 of the borrowings on the line of credit are denominated in euros. The borrowings have been designated as a net investment hedge, see additional information in Note 8.

The effective interest rate on the credit agreement at July 1, 2023 was 7.1%. Interest expense recognized on the credit agreement, excluding interest rate swap activity, during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, totaled $17.3 and $5.6, respectively. As of July 1, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the Amended Credit Agreement.

Term Loans and Line of Credit with Citibank

The Company has an uncommitted fixed asset facility agreement (the “Fixed Asset Facility”), short-term revolving facility agreement (the “Working Capital Facility”) and term loan facility agreement (the "Shanghai Branch Term Loan Facility") with Citibank (China) Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch, as lender.

Under the Fixed Asset Facility, the Company borrowed on a secured basis RMB 2.6. The proceeds of the loan were used for purchases of equipment. Outstanding borrowings under the Fixed Asset Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the National Interbank Funding Center 1-year loan prime rate plus 1.5%. The loan matured in May 2023, at which time the remaining balance was paid in full.

17

Under the Working Capital Facility, the Company could borrow amounts on an unsecured revolving facility up to a total of RMB 16.0. Proceeds were used for expenditures related to production at the Company’s facility located in Kunshan City, China. Outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the National Interbank Funding Center 1-year loan prime rate plus 0.5%. The loan matured in May 2023, at which time the remaining balance was paid in full.

Under the Shanghai Branch Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed on a secured basis RMB 42.7. Outstanding borrowings under the Shanghai Branch Term Loan Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to the National Interbank Funding Center 1-year loan prime rate plus 1.5%, to be repaid on a specified schedule with the final payment due in October 2024.

The Company has a term loan facility agreement (the “Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility”) with Citibank, N.A., Sydney Branch, as lender. Under the Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed on a secured basis AUD 7.5. Outstanding borrowings under the facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the Australian Bank Bill Swap ("ABBS") reference rate plus 2.0% and was scheduled to be repaid throughout the term of the loan with a final payment due date in December 2024.

In June 2023, the Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility was amended. The Company borrowed on a secured basis AUD 15.0 and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the remaining balance of the original term loan. Outstanding borrowings under the amended Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to the ABBS reference rate plus 2.8%, to be repaid throughout the term of the loan with a final payment due date in June 2026.

Concurrent with the amendment to the Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A., Sydney Branch, as lender (the “Sydney Branch RC Facility”). The Sydney Branch RC Facility allows for borrowings up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of AUD 6.0 and matures in June 2026 with no mandatory repayments prior to such maturity date. The facility accrues interest at a rate equal to the ABBS reference rate plus 2.3%.

As of July 1, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the term loans and line of credit with Citibank.

10. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was 22.9% and 22.5% of pretax income, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was 23.1% and 22.4% 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. The change in the comparable prior-year quarter and year-to-date period is primarily due to an overall decrease in discrete tax benefits.

At July 1, 2023, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $7.9 including accrued interest. If recognized, $1.9 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 July 1, 2023 is not considered material to the Company’s Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements.

The Company is currently under state audit and remains subject to income tax examinations in various state and foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2017-2021. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for income taxes that could result from any audit adjustments.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) provides for the grant of up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock, restricted share 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. The 2023 Plan replaced the prior 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees 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 granted to employees totaled $4.4 and $4.0, respectively, for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022.

The Helios Technologies, Inc. Non-Employee 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 or 2023 Plan, which vest over a one-year period. Directors were granted 8,867 and 7,580 RSUs during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized director stock compensation expense on the RSUs of $0.7 and $0.1 for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the six months ended July 1, 2023:

				Weighted Average
	Number of Units			Grant-Date
	(in thousands)			Fair Value per Share
Nonvested balance at December 31, 2022		217		$	66.98
Granted		216			56.66
Vested		(86	)		53.58

The Company had $13.9 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the RSU awards as of July 1, 2023. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Stock Options

The Company has granted stock options with market-based exercise conditions to its officers. As of July 1, 2023, there were 78,500 unvested options and no vested unexercised options. The exercise price per share is $50.60, which is equal to the market price of Helios stock on the grant date. The options vest after achievement of defined stock prices and after the required service periods, which range from one to two years. These options have a 10-year expiration. The grant date fair value of the options was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

The Company has also granted stock options with only time-based vesting conditions to its officers. As of July 1, 2023, there were 4,999 unvested options and 19,234 vested unexercised options. The exercise prices per share, which range from $35.04 to $55.03, 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.

19

At July 1, 2023, the Company had $0.7 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.4 years. The Company recognized expense on the stock options of $1.1 and $0.1 for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

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 20,771 shares at a weighted average price of $50.47, and 17,076 shares at a weighted average price of $62.05, under the ESPP and UK plans during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

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, manifolds, hydraulic quick release couplings, machined components and assemblies as well as engineers hydraulic solutions and in some cases complete systems. Our Hydraulics segment includes products sold under the Sun Hydraulics, Faster, Custom Fluidpower, Seungwon, NEM, Taimi, Daman and Schultes brands. 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. The Electronics segment includes products sold under the Enovation Controls, Murphy, Zero Off, HCT, Balboa Water Group and Joyonway brands.

Recent Acquisitions

In January 2023, we completed the acquisition of Schultes Precision Manufacturing, Inc. Schultes is a highly trusted specialist in manufacturing precision machined components and assemblies for customers requiring very tight tolerances, superior quality and exceptional value-added manufacturing processes. Currently serving the hydraulic, aerospace, communication, food services, medical device and dental industries, Schultes brings the manufacturing quality, reliability and responsiveness critical to its customers’ success. Schultes provides additional manufacturing know-how and expands our business into new end markets with attractive secular tailwinds.

In May 2023, we acquired i3 Product Development, a custom design and engineering services firm, with over 55 engineers with expertise in electronics, mechanical, industrial, embedded and software engineering. We anticipate that i3 will equip Helios with significant value-added professional services capabilities to provide customization to Helios platforms and to develop greenfield solutions. i3 specializes in working to transform customers' ideas into industrial design solutions through rapid prototyping and creating 3D models in house. They have also built and patented a remote support platform that provides customers in the field support for their internet of things devices.

Restructuring Activities

We continued our restructuring activities within our Hydraulics segment related to the creation of our two new Regional Operational Centers of Excellence ("CoE"). Facility expansion is currently underway in Mishawaka, IN, the future Hydraulic Manifold Solutions CoE, to accept the manifold machining and integrated package assembly operations from Sun Hydraulics, the integrated package business from Faster Inc. and to allow for Daman’s core organic growth. The quick release coupling (QRC) manufacturing will then transfer from Maumee, OH to the cartridge valve technology location in Sarasota, FL to complete the Hydraulic Valve and Coupling Solutions CoE. The relocation of manufacturing operations is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023.

Manufacturing and Operating Strategy Activities

Over the last couple years, we have presented the major areas for integration as we transform from being a holding company into an integrated operating company. We have developed the strategies and tactics and have several projects in various phases from ideation to execution. We started with the Electronics segment and then moved to the Hydraulics segment. We created manufacturing roadmaps with several programs, each of which might stretch over a couple of years, and are comprised of multiple projects that have clear structure and owners. Work is moving forward on multiple programs and projects simultaneously. This is a continuous improvement process that will drive efficiency and improvements across the business, and we are now doing this as an integrated operating company versus at the business unit level. Some of our recent notable activities include: the creation of our new Centers of Excellence, transferring some of the board assembly and wire harness production from our Tulsa location to our facility in Tijuana, adding capacity at our plants in Italy, India, Tijuana and Indiana and constructing an automated warehouse at our Faster Italy location.

Global Economic Conditions

We continue to navigate through challenges and disruptions created by the Russia-Ukraine war and general macroeconomic conditions that have created economic uncertainty, market disruption, supply constraints and inflation. We have been mitigating some of the inflation effects through pricing efforts and cost savings measures. We continue to face constraints related to sourcing certain electronic and other components. We are mitigating some of the impact with our procurement efforts, production schedule adjustments and product redesigns.

Demand in the health and wellness market was favorably impacted by the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, as consumers invested in leisure products and activities. However, during 2022, we experienced a sharp decline in sales in this end market as demand declined and inventory levels in the channel increased. In the first and second quarters of 2023 we had a positive sequential trend in order rates for spa and bath products as incoming orders improved.

Refer to Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for additional discussion of risks related to global economic 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.

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 12% during the first six months of 2023 while the U.S. index of orders of hydraulic products declined 6% during the same period. In Europe, the CEMA Business Barometer reported in July that the general business climate index for the European agricultural machinery industry continued to drop and reached the negative range for the first time since 2020. They noted easing on the supply side has been seen but uncertainties with regard to the market side continue to increase and industry representatives have further downgraded future expectations. The CECE (Committee for European Construction Equipment) business climate index continued its downturn in July and reached the lowest level in more than two and a half years. They reported the level of incoming orders is below last year's and especially on the European market the order intake is decreasing substantially.

Electronics

The Federal Reserve’s Industrial Production Index, which measures the real output of all relevant establishments located in the U.S., reports second quarter 2023 sales of semiconductors and other electronics components improved to the highest level since the first quarter of 2022. The Institute of Printed Circuits Association (“IPC”) reported that total North American printed circuit board (“PCB”) shipments were down 15.8% in June 2023 compared with the same month last year and PCB bookings were down 7.7% in June compared to the same month last year. The IPC also reported that North American electronics manufacturing services (“EMS”) shipments were up 0.9% in June 2023 compared with the same month last year and EMS bookings in June were down 11.5% compared with the same month last year.

2023 Second Quarter Results and Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022

(In millions, except per share data)

The following is a discussion of our second quarter and first half of 2023 results of operations and liquidity and capital resources; comparisons are with the corresponding reporting periods of 2022, unless otherwise noted.

The following table presents our consolidated results of operations:

Second quarter consolidated net sales declined $14.1, 5.8%. We experienced organic net sales decline of $30.5, 12.6%, which was offset partially by sales from acquisitions totaling $16.4. Discrete impacts to our second quarter organic sales compared to the prior-year quarter are as follows:

•Changes in foreign currency exchange rates - unfavorable by $0.3, 0.1%

•Pricing - favorable by $6.2, 2.6%

We continue to face constraints related to sourcing certain electronic and other components. As of July 1, 2023, we estimate that approximately $14.2 of sales were delayed into future quarters due to the supply shortages.

Consolidated net sales for the year-to-date period were lower by $41.4, 8.6%. Acquisition-related sales for the first half of 2023 totaled $30.1 and organic sales declined $71.5, 14.8%. Discrete impacts to our year-to-date organic sales compared to the prior-year period are as follows:

•Changes in foreign currency exchange rates - unfavorable by $3.7, 0.8%

•Pricing - favorable by $12.6, 2.6%

25

Organic sales were impacted by reduced demand for products in our health and wellness end market, which continues to be below the prior year. Sales in this end market were previously strengthened by the pandemic as consumers invested in health and leisure products. However, we are seeing positive order trends in this end market as incoming orders for spa and bath products improved in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Sales were down in all regions during the second quarter and year-to-date periods compared to the prior year.

Second quarter gross profit decreased $6.5, 7.9%, from lower volume and gross margin declined by 80 basis points, primarily from the following:

•Fixed cost leverage - unfavorable due to lower sales

•Acquisitions - unfavorable due to the margin profile of acquired businesses, which generally have higher cost of sales and lower selling, engineering and administrative expenses (“SEA”)

•Restructuring costs - higher by $1.3

•Pricing - favorable by amounts noted above

•Material costs as a percentage of sales - decreased by 40 basis points, excluding pricing changes and acquisition-related sales, primarily from segment and product mix

Year-to-date gross profit decreased $19.2, 11.6%, from lower volume and gross margin declined by 110 basis points, primarily from the following:

•Fixed cost leverage - unfavorable due to the lower sales

•Acquisitions - unfavorable due to the margin profile of acquired businesses

•Restructuring costs - higher by $1.9

•Changes in foreign currency exchange rates - unfavorable by $1.0

•Pricing - favorable by amounts noted above

•Material costs as a percentage of sales - decreased by 80 basis points, excluding pricing changes and acquisition-related sales, primarily from segment and product mix

Operating income as a percentage of sales declined 480 basis points to 13.0% in the second quarter of 2023. Amortization expense on acquired intangible assets increased by $1.5 due to our 2022 and 2023 acquisitions. SEA expenses went up by $5.5, mainly from acquisitions and higher wage and benefit costs of $1.7 for merit increases, market adjustments and new hires for investments primarily in engineering, sales and corporate activities.

Year-to-date operating income as a percentage of sales decreased 550 basis points to 12.3%. Amortization expense on acquired intangible assets increased by $2.6 due to our 2022 and 2023 acquisitions. SEA expenses went up by $9.8, mainly from acquisitions and higher wage and benefit costs of $3.3 for merit increases, market adjustments and new hires for investments primarily in engineering, sales and corporate activities. Other increases were for: officer transition costs of $0.5, professional fees of $0.4, board of director fees of $0.5 and R&D of $0.6 which was primarily for new product development activities.

Net interest expense increased $4.0 to $7.8 in the second quarter of 2023. Average net debt increased to $500.6 during the second quarter of 2023 compared with $390.3 during the second quarter of 2022. Year-to-date net interest expense totaled $14.0, an increase of $6.4. Average net debt for the year-to-date period increased to $457.0 compared with $397.1 during the prior-year period. In addition to higher interest rates in the current year, average net debt balances increased with the acquisitions of Daman in September 2022, Schultes in January 2023 and i3 in May 2023.

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2023 was 22.9% of pretax income compared to 22.5% for the prior-year second quarter. The year-to-date provision was 23.1% and 22.4% of pretax income for 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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 August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was enacted into law, and includes, among other things, a new 15% minimum tax and 1% excise tax on stock repurchases after December 31, 2022. These tax law changes have no immediate material effect and are not expected to have a material impact on our future financial results, we will continue to evaluate its impact as further information becomes available.

•Acquisition-related sales - $1.2

•Changes in foreign currency exchange rates - unfavorable by $0.1

•Pricing changes - favorable by $1.6, 1.6%

Demand in our health and wellness end market continued to decline compared to the prior year, which was strengthened by the pandemic as consumers invested in health and leisure products. We experienced a positive trend in order rates for spa and bath products in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023. Sales in the mobile and recreational end markets improved in the second quarter compared to the prior-year second quarter.

As of July 1, 2023, we estimate that approximately $4.4 of Electronics segment sales were delayed into future quarters due to supply shortages.

Year-to-date net sales for the Electronics segment declined $61.6, 30.4%. Discrete impacts to our year-to-date sales compared to the prior-year quarter are as follows:

APAC		8.7		20.3		(11.6	)		(57.1	)%
Total	$	140.7	$	202.3

Reduced demand in the health and wellness end market contributed to the decline in sales in all regions in the second quarter and year-to-date periods.

Second quarter gross profit decreased $6.7, 20.4%, due to the lower sales volume. Gross margin improved over the same period by 150 basis points to 34.7% as a favorable sales mix, pricing and lower material costs more than offset the reduced leverage of our fixed cost base on the lower sales. Material costs as a percentage of sales, excluding pricing changes and acquisition-related sales, decreased in the second quarter by 360 basis points compared to the prior-year quarter due to lower material costs and a favorable sales mix.

Year-to-date gross profit decreased $18.4, 28.0%, due to the lower sales volume. Gross margin improved over the same period by 110 basis points to 33.5% as a favorable sales mix, pricing and lower material costs more than offset the reduced leverage of our fixed cost base on the lower sales. Material costs as a percentage of sales, excluding pricing changes and acquisition-related sales, decreased in the first two quarters of 2023 by 400 basis points compared to the prior-year period due to lower material costs and a favorable sales mix.

SEA expenses increased by $1.6, 12.8%, in the second quarter of 2023, primarily from acquisitions and wages and benefits of $1.3 for merit increases, market adjustments and new hires for investments in engineering, sales and corporate activities.

Year-to-date SEA expenses increased by $2.9, 11.7%, primarily from acquisitions and wages and benefits of $2.4 for merit increases, market adjustments and new hires for investments in engineering, sales and corporate activities.

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 second quarter of 2023, these costs totaled $9.5 for: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $8.3 and $1.2 related to our acquisition and integration activities. Compared to the second quarter of 2022 these costs increased by $1.1, primarily from acquisition-related amortization. Year-to-date, corporate and other costs totaled $20.2 for: amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $16.4, $3.0 related to our acquisition and integration activities and $0.8 for officer transition costs. Compared to the 2022 year-to-date period, corporate and other costs increased by $2.6 from acquisition-related amortization.

30

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of capital are cash generated from operations and borrowings on our credit facilities to fund acquisitions. During the first six months of 2023, cash provided by operating activities totaled $38.4. At the end of the second quarter, we had $37.5 of available cash and cash equivalents on hand and $183.4 of available credit on our revolving credit facilities. We also have a $300.0 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 are operating expenses, capital expenditures, servicing debt, acquisition-related payments and 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, acquisition activity could be delayed and finally, the dividend to shareholders could be reduced or suspended.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods:

	Six Months Ended
	July 1, 2023			July 2, 2022			$ Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	38.4		$	44.2		$	(5.8	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(135.8	)		(9.2	)		(126.6	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		90.1			(24.8	)		114.9
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		1.1			2.6			(1.5	)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(6.2	)	$	12.8		$	(19.0	)

Cash on hand decreased $6.2 in the first two quarters of 2023 to $37.5 as of July 1, 2023. Changes in exchange rates during the six months ended July 1, 2023, favorably impacted cash and cash equivalents by $1.1. 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

Year to date cash from operations declined by $5.8 to $38.4. 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) decreased by $20.8 in 2023. Included in current year cash earnings is $2.7 related to a payment made on the contingent consideration liability from the NEM acquisition, which was required to be included in operating cash flows for the period as the total payments exceeded the acquisition date fair value of the liability. Changes in net operating assets and liabilities improved cash flow by $15.0, compared to the prior-year period, primarily from favorable cash flows from accounts receivable and inventories. Investments in inventory reduced cash by $9.6 and $17.9 in the first two quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Days of inventory on hand increased to 122 days as of July 1, 2023, compared with 103 days as of July 2, 2022. The increase is primarily due to the decline in sales to the health and wellness end market. We have higher inventory than needed for current sales levels to that end market. Changes in accounts receivable reduced cash by $8.5 and $20.0 in the first two quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Days sales outstanding remained at 56 days as of July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, as our collection patterns remain consistent with the prior period.

Investing activities

Cash used in investing activities totaled $135.8 in the first two quarters of 2023, compared to cash used of $9.2 in the first two quarters of the prior year. Cash paid, net of cash acquired, for our acquisitions in the first two quarters of 2023 totaled $114.8.

31

Capital expenditures totaled $19.6, 4.4% of sales, for the first two quarters of 2023, an increase of $6.1 over the prior-year comparable period. Capital expenditures for 2023 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.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $90.1 during the first two quarters of 2023, compared with cash used of $24.8 in the prior-year period. Cash paid for acquisitions in 2023 was primarily financed with borrowings on our credit facility; borrowings, net of repayments, during 2023 totaled $101.8. In the 2022 year-to-date period, credit facility repayments exceeded borrowings by $16.9.

In May 2023, we entered into an incremental facility amendment to our credit agreement with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto. With the amendment we incurred a new term loan with an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 for which the proceeds were used to repay outstanding balances on our revolving credit facility. The new term loan is payable in full in October 2025 and is not subject to any required repayments prior to that date. As part of the amendment, we continue to have the ability to increase our revolving credit facility or incur a new term loan up to an additional borrowing limit of $300.0.

During the second quarter of 2023, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per share payable on July 20, 2023, to shareholders of record as of July 5, 2023. 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 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 six months of 2023, are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

See “Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Form 10-K. There were no material changes during the six months ended July 1, 2023.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective and are designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the necessary time periods. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes to such risk factors.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 December 31, 2022 (“Form 10-K”), filed by Helios with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023. 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 six months ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

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.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company sells certain products that contain embedded software that is integral to the functionality of the products. Internal and external costs incurred for developing this software are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established, at which point the development costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs primarily include payroll, benefits and other headcount related expenses. Once the products are available for general release to customers, no additional costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $7.3 and $5.6 at July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

In March 2020, and clarified through December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The guidance was effective immediately upon issuance in March 2020 and cannot be applied subsequent to December 31, 2024, except for certain optional expedients. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. In March 2023, the Company executed an amendment to the term loan and revolving credit facility to modify and replace reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Additionally in March 2023, the company executed an amendment to the interest rate swap agreements to modify and replace reference to LIBOR. The company applied the accounting relief in accordance with ASC 848 as the relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications were executed. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our accounting policies or consolidated financial statements

BUSINESS ACQUISITION

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On January 27, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Schultes Precision Manufacturing, Inc. ("Schultes"), an Illinois corporation. Schultes is a highly trusted specialist in manufacturing precision machined components and assemblies for customers requiring very tight tolerances, superior quality and exceptional value-added manufacturing processes. Currently serving the hydraulic, aerospace, communication, food services, medical device and dental industries, Schultes brings the manufacturing quality, reliability and responsiveness critical to its customers’ success. The results of Schultes' operations are reported in the Company’s Hydraulics segment and have been included in the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.

Initial cash consideration paid at closing for Schultes, net of cash acquired, totaled $84.7. Total consideration for the acquisition is subject to a post-closing adjustment in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. Cash consideration paid at closing was funded with additional borrowings on the Company’s credit facility.

On May 26, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of i3 Product Development, Inc. (“i3”), a Wisconsin corporation. i3 is a custom engineering services firm, with over 55 engineers with expertise in electronics, mechanical, industrial, embedded and software engineering. i3's solutions are used across many sectors, including medical, off-highway, recreational and commercial marine, power sports, health and wellness, agriculture, consumer goods, industrial, sports and fitness. We anticipate that i3 will equip Helios with significant value-added professional services capabilities to provide customization to Helios platforms and to develop greenfield solutions. The results of i3's operations are reported in the Company’s Electronics segment and have been included in the Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements since the date of acquisition.

Initial consideration paid at closing for i3, net of cash acquired, totaled $44.6, consisting of 370,276 shares of the Company's common stock, issued in a private placement to the previous owners of i3, and cash of $25.9. Total consideration for the acquisition is subject to a post-closing adjustment in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. The cash consideration paid at closing was funded with additional borrowings on the Company’s credit facility.

In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded $36.9 of goodwill, $49.2 of other identifiable intangible assets, $34.2 of property, plant and equipment and $9.0 of other net assets. The intangible assets include customer relationships of $38.2 (15.3 year weighted average useful life), trade names and brands of $7.4 (14.0 year weighted average useful life), technology of $2.9 (5.0 year weighted average useful life) and sales order backlog of $0.7 (less than one year weighted average useful life).

The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of identified intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisitions. As additional information becomes available, management will finalize its analysis of the estimated fair value. The purchase price allocations are preliminary, pending post-closing adjustments, final intangibles valuation and tax-related adjustments, and may be revised during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition dates). Any such revisions or changes to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed could be material.

Pro forma results of operations and the revenue and net income subsequent to the acquisition dates for the acquisitions completed during fiscal 2023 have not been presented because the effects of the acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to the Company's financial results.

Term Loans and Line of Credit with PNC Bank

The Company has a credit agreement that includes a revolving line of credit and term loan credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.

In May 2023, the Company entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto that amended the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October 28, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement” and, together with the Incremental Facility Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Incremental Facility Amendment, the Company incurred a new senior secured term loan A-2 (the “Term Loan A-2”) in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0. The issue price of the Term Loan A-2 was equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. The Term Loan A-2 bears interest at a rate based on either (i) the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) (subject to a 0% floor) for the applicable interest period plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus an applicable margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio or (ii) a variable rate equal to the highest of (x) the overnight bank funding rate plus 0.50%, (y) the prime rate and (z) daily simple SOFR, plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin ranging between 0.50% and 1.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Term Loan A-2 is guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the guarantors, on a pari passu basis with the other facilities under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Term Loan A-2 matures on October 28, 2025 and is not subject to any mandatory repayments prior to such maturity date.

The net proceeds from the Term Loan A-2, together with cash on hand, were used to repay outstanding amounts under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company continues to have access to an accordion feature with the ability to increase the revolver or incur additional term loans under the incremental facility of $300.0 after giving effect to borrowings under the Term Loan A-2.

The revolving line of credit allows for borrowings up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $400.0. To hedge currency exposure in foreign operations, €90.0 of the borrowings on the line of credit are denominated in euros. The borrowings have been designated as a net investment hedge, see additional information in Note 8.

The effective interest rate on the credit agreement at July 1, 2023 was 7.1%. Interest expense recognized on the credit agreement, excluding interest rate swap activity, during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, totaled $17.3 and $5.6, respectively. As of July 1, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants related to the Amended Credit Agreement.

Term Loans and Line of Credit with Citibank

The Company has an uncommitted fixed asset facility agreement (the “Fixed Asset Facility”), short-term revolving facility agreement (the “Working Capital Facility”) and term loan facility agreement (the "Shanghai Branch Term Loan Facility") with Citibank (China) Co., Ltd. Shanghai Branch, as lender.

Under the Fixed Asset Facility, the Company borrowed on a secured basis RMB 2.6. The proceeds of the loan were used for purchases of equipment. Outstanding borrowings under the Fixed Asset Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the National Interbank Funding Center 1-year loan prime rate plus 1.5%. The loan matured in May 2023, at which time the remaining balance was paid in full.

Under the Working Capital Facility, the Company could borrow amounts on an unsecured revolving facility up to a total of RMB 16.0. Proceeds were used for expenditures related to production at the Company’s facility located in Kunshan City, China. Outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the National Interbank Funding Center 1-year loan prime rate plus 0.5%. The loan matured in May 2023, at which time the remaining balance was paid in full.

Under the Shanghai Branch Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed on a secured basis RMB 42.7. Outstanding borrowings under the Shanghai Branch Term Loan Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to the National Interbank Funding Center 1-year loan prime rate plus 1.5%, to be repaid on a specified schedule with the final payment due in October 2024.

The Company has a term loan facility agreement (the “Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility”) with Citibank, N.A., Sydney Branch, as lender. Under the Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility, the Company borrowed on a secured basis AUD 7.5. Outstanding borrowings under the facility accrued interest at a rate equal to the Australian Bank Bill Swap ("ABBS") reference rate plus 2.0% and was scheduled to be repaid throughout the term of the loan with a final payment due date in December 2024.

In June 2023, the Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility was amended. The Company borrowed on a secured basis AUD 15.0 and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the remaining balance of the original term loan. Outstanding borrowings under the amended Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility accrue interest at a rate equal to the ABBS reference rate plus 2.8%, to be repaid throughout the term of the loan with a final payment due date in June 2026.

Concurrent with the amendment to the Sydney Branch Term Loan Facility, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A., Sydney Branch, as lender (the “Sydney Branch RC Facility”). The Sydney Branch RC Facility allows for borrowings up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of AUD 6.0 and matures in June 2026 with no mandatory repayments prior to such maturity date.

INCOME TAXES

10. INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was 22.9% and 22.5% of pretax income, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was 23.1% and 22.4% 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. The change in the comparable prior-year quarter and year-to-date period is primarily due to an overall decrease in discrete tax benefits.

At July 1, 2023, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $7.9 including accrued interest. If recognized, $1.9 of unrecognized tax benefit would reduce the effective tax rate in future periods.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) provides for the grant of up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock, restricted share 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. The 2023 Plan replaced the prior 2019 Equity Incentive Plan and was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees 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 granted to employees totaled $4.4 and $4.0, respectively, for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022.

The Helios Technologies, Inc. Non-Employee 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 or 2023 Plan, which vest over a one-year period. Directors were granted 8,867 and 7,580 RSUs during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized director stock compensation expense on the RSUs of $0.7 and $0.1 for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

The following table summarizes RSU activity for the six months ended July 1, 2023:

				Weighted Average
	Number of Units			Grant-Date
	(in thousands)			Fair Value per Share
Nonvested balance at December 31, 2022		217		$	66.98
Granted		216			56.66
Vested		(86	)		53.58
Forfeited		(24	)		64.00
Nonvested balance at July 1, 2023		323		$	63.87

Included in the nonvested balance at July 1, 2023 is 141,731 nonvested performance-based RSUs.

The Company had $13.9 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the RSU awards as of July 1, 2023. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

Stock Options

The Company has granted stock options with market-based exercise conditions to its officers. As of July 1, 2023, there were 78,500 unvested options and no vested unexercised options. The exercise price per share is $50.60, which is equal to the market price of Helios stock on the grant date. The options vest after achievement of defined stock prices and after the required service periods, which range from one to two years. These options have a 10-year expiration. The grant date fair value of the options was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation.

The Company has also granted stock options with only time-based vesting conditions to its officers. As of July 1, 2023, there were 4,999 unvested options and 19,234 vested unexercised options. The exercise prices per share, which range from $35.04 to $55.03, 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 July 1, 2023, the Company had $0.7 of unrecognized compensation cost related to the options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.4 years. The Company recognized expense on the stock options of $1.1 and $0.1 for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plans

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 20,771 shares at a weighted average price of $50.47, and 17,076 shares at a weighted average price of $62.05, under the ESPP and UK plans during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized $0.3 and $0.2 of compensation expense during the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT REPORTING

13. 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 maker.

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 six months ended July 1, 2023, the unallocated costs totaled $20.2 and included certain corporate costs not deemed to be allocable to either business segment of $0.8, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $16.4 and other acquisition and integration-related costs of $3.0. The accounting policies of the Company’s operating segments are the same as those used to prepare the accompanying Consolidated, Unaudited Financial Statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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 December 31, 2022 (“Form 10-K”), filed by Helios with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023. 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 six months ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates

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.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company sells certain products that contain embedded software that is integral to the functionality of the products. Internal and external costs incurred for developing this software are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established, at which point the development costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs primarily include payroll, benefits and other headcount related expenses. Once the products are available for general release to customers, no additional costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $7.3 and $5.6 at July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

In March 2020, and clarified through December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The guidance was effective immediately upon issuance in March 2020 and cannot be applied subsequent to December 31, 2024, except for certain optional expedients. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. In March 2023, the Company executed an amendment to the term loan and revolving credit facility to modify and replace reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Additionally in March 2023, the company executed an amendment to the interest rate swap agreements to modify and replace reference to LIBOR. The company applied the accounting relief in accordance with ASC 848 as the relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications were executed. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our accounting policies or consolidated financial statements.
