Semiconductor Market

We are a critical solutions provider for semiconductor manufacturing. Our products are used in major semiconductor processing steps, such as deposition, etching, cleaning, lithography, metrology, and inspection. The semiconductor industry continually faces new challenges, as products become smaller, more powerful and highly mobile. Ultra-thin layers, smaller critical dimensions, new materials, 3D structures, and the ongoing need for higher yield and productivity drive the need for tighter process measurement and control, all of which we support. We believe we are the broadest critical subsystem provider in the wafer fabrication equipment (“WFE”) ecosystem and address over 85% of the market. We characterize our broad and unique offering as Surround the Wafer® to reflect the technology enablement we provide across almost every major process in semiconductor manufacturing today.

The semiconductor market is subject to rapid demand shifts, which are difficult to predict, and we cannot be certain as to the timing or extent of future demand or any future softening in the semiconductor capital equipment industry. In addition to these rapid demand shifts, the semiconductor capital equipment industry has recently been subject to significant trade restrictions, especially in key markets, including China.

Approximately 43% and 42% of our net revenues for 2025 and 2024, respectively, were from sales to customers in the semiconductor market.

Net revenues from customers in our semiconductor market increased by $198 million, or 13%, in 2025, compared to 2024. The increase was mainly due to higher sales of our semiconductor capital equipment in logic and foundry applications, higher NAND memory production upgrades, and higher service revenues at VSD, partially offset by decreases in sales in our lithography, metrology and inspection products at PSD.

Electronics and Packaging Market

We are a foundational solutions provider for the electronics and packaging market. Our portfolio includes photonics components, laser drilling systems, electronics chemistries and plating equipment that are critical for the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (“PCB”) and package substrates, and critical to wafer level packaging (“WLP”) applications. Similar to the semiconductor industry, the PCB, package substrate and WLP industries demand smaller features, greater density, and better performance. In addition, the electronics and packaging market also includes sales of our vacuum and photonics solutions for display manufacturing applications. We characterize our complementary offering of laser systems and chemistry solutions as Optimize the Interconnect®, to reflect the unique technology enablement we provide at the Interconnect level within PCBs, package substrates and WLPs.

Approximately 28% and 26% of our net revenues for 2025 and 2024, respectively, were from sales to customers in our electronics and packaging market.

Net revenues from customers in our electronics and packaging market increased by $189 million, or 20%, in 2025 compared to 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher chemistry and equipment sales in the electronics market at MSD as well as higher sales of PCB via drilling systems at PSD.

Specialty Industrial Market

Our strategy in the specialty industrial market is to leverage our domain expertise and proprietary technologies across a broad array of applications in industrial, life and health sciences, and research and defense markets.

Industrial

Industrial encompasses a wide range of diverse applications, including chemistries for functional coatings, surface finishing and wear resistance in the automobile industry, vacuum solutions for synthetic diamond manufacturing and photonics for solar manufacturing. Other applications include vacuum and photonics solutions for light emitting diode and laser diode manufacturing.

Life and Health Sciences

Our products for life and health sciences are used in a diverse array of applications, including bioimaging, medical instrument sterilization, medical device manufacturing, analytical, diagnostic and surgical instrumentation, consumable medical supply manufacturing and pharmaceutical production.

Research and Defense

Our products for research and defense are sold to government, university and industrial laboratories for applications involving research and development in materials science, physical chemistry, photonics, optics and electronics materials. Our products are also sold for monitoring and defense applications, including surveillance, imaging and infrastructure protection.

Approximately 29% and 32% of our net revenues for 2025 and 2024, respectively, were from customers in our specialty industrial market.

Net revenues from customers in our specialty industrial market decreased by $42 million, or 4%, in 2025, compared to 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower sales to industrial customers at VSD and lower chemistry and equipment sales to industrial customers at MSD.

International Markets

A significant portion of our net revenues is from sales to customers in international markets. International net revenues accounted for approximately 81% and 78% of our total net revenues in 2025 and 2024, respectively. We report geographical net revenues based on the shipped-to location of the end customer. A significant portion of our international net revenues was from customers in China, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Japan. We expect international net revenues will continue to account for a significant percentage of total net revenues for the foreseeable future.

Long-lived assets located outside of the United States accounted for approximately 70% and 59% of our total long-lived assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, net, right-of-use assets and certain other assets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

MD&A discusses our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, warranty costs, pension plan valuations, stock-based compensation expense, intangible assets, goodwill and long-lived assets, income taxes and derivatives. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a complete description of our significant accounting policies, see Part II—Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 3, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the most significant judgments, assumptions and estimates we use in preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements:

Revenue Recognition . We account for revenue using Accounting Standards Codification 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC Topic 606”). We apply ASC Topic 606 using the following steps:

Identify the contract with a customer

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Determine the transaction price

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation

Revenue is recognized when or as obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer have been satisfied and control has transferred to the customer. The majority of our performance obligations, and associated revenue, are transferred to customers at a point in time, generally upon shipment of a product to the customer or receipt of the product by the customer and without significant judgments. We recognize revenue over time for contracts relating to the manufacturing, modifications and retrofits of our plating equipment, as the equipment is built to customer specification, and we have an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date. For these sales, we use the cost-to-cost input method to measure progress. In cases, where cost-to-cost is not proportionate to our progress in satisfying the performance obligation because of uninstalled materials, we adjust the measure of progress and recognize revenue to the extent of cost incurred to satisfy the performance obligation under the contract. Revenue from customized products with no alternative future use to us, and that have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, is also recorded over time. We consider this to be a faithful depiction of the transfer to the customer of revenue over time as the work is performed or service is delivered. Adjustments for custom products were immaterial in each of the periods presented.

Installation services, other than those related to our plating equipment, are not significant, are usually completed in a short period of time and, therefore, are recorded at a point in time when the installation services are completed, rather than over time, as they are not material. Extended warranty, service contracts, and repair services, which are transferred to the customer over time, are recorded as revenue as the services are performed. For repair services, we make an accrual at each quarter end based upon historical repair times within our product groups to record revenue based upon the estimated number of days completed to date, which is consistent with ratable recognition.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the products or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the product or service is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Sales tax, value add tax, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Our normal payment terms are 30 to 60 days but vary by the type and location of our customers and the products or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products and services and customer types, we require payment before the products are delivered to, or the services are performed for, the customer. None of our contracts in each of the periods presented contained a significant financing component.

We periodically enter into contracts with our customers in which a customer may purchase a combination of goods and or services, such as products with installation services or extended warranties. These contracts include multiple deliverables that we evaluate to determine if the deliverables are separate performance obligations. Once we determine the performance obligations, we then determine the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the method we expect to better predict the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled. There are no constraints on the variable consideration recorded. We then allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on a relative stand-alone selling price charged separately to customers or using an expected cost-plus margin method. The corresponding revenues are recognized when or as the related performance obligations are satisfied, which are noted above. The impact of variable consideration was immaterial in each of the periods presented.

Our standard assurance warranty is normally 12 to 24 months. We sell separately priced service contracts and extended warranty contracts related to certain of our products, in particular related to our plating and laser-based products. These separately priced contracts generally range from 12 to 60 months. We normally receive payment at the inception of the contract and recognize revenue over the term of the contract in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. We have elected to use the practical expedient related to disclosing remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, as the majority have a duration of less than one year.

We monitor and track the amount of product returns, provide for sales return allowances and reduce revenue at the time of shipment for the estimated amount of such future returns, based on historical experience. We make estimates evaluating our allowance for doubtful accounts. While product returns have historically been within our expectations and established provisions, there is no assurance that we will continue to experience the same return rates that we have in the past. Any significant increase in product return rates could have a material adverse impact on our operating results for the period in which such returns materialize.

While we maintain a credit approval process, significant judgments are made by management in connection with assessing our customers' ability to pay at the time of shipment. Despite this assessment, from time to time, our customers are unable to meet their payment obligations. We continuously monitor our customers' creditworthiness and use our judgment in establishing a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the provisions established, there is no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of our customers could have a material adverse impact on the collectability of accounts receivable and our future operating results. Bad debt expense was immaterial in each period presented.

Inventory Valuation . We value our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined using a standard costing system that approximates actual costs, based on a first-in, first-out method. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision to write-down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value, if less than cost, based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand. Once our inventory value is written-down and a new cost basis has been established, the inventory value is not increased due to demand increases. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. A significant increase in the demand for our products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases as a result of supply shortages or a decrease in the cost of inventory purchases as a result of volume discounts, while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the charges for excess inventory quantities on hand. In addition, our industry is subject to technological change, new product development and product technological obsolescence that could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory quantities on hand. Therefore, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results. Excess and obsolete expense was $45 million, $56 million and $64 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The excess and obsolete charge in 2023 was partially due to an inventory write-off as a result of the discontinuation of a product line in 2023 and partially due to reduced forecasted usage. The excess and obsolete charges in 2025 and 2024 were mainly the result of reduced forecasted usage.

Warranty Costs. We provide for the estimated costs to fulfill customer warranty obligations upon the recognition of the related revenue. We provide warranty coverage for our products for periods ranging from 12 to 36 months, with the majority of our products for periods ranging from 12 to 24 months. Short-term accrued warranty obligations, which expire within one year, are included in other current liabilities and long-term accrued warranty obligations are included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We estimate the anticipated costs of repairing our products under such warranties based on the historical costs of the repairs and any known specific product issues. The assumptions we use to estimate warranty accruals are re-evaluated periodically in light of actual experience and, when appropriate, the accruals are adjusted. Our determination of the appropriate level of warranty accrual is based upon estimates. Should product failure rates differ from our estimates, actual costs could vary significantly from our expectations. Defective products will be either repaired or replaced, generally at our option, upon meeting certain criteria.

Pension Plan Valuations. Several of our non-U.S. subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans covering employees of those subsidiaries. The majority of these defined benefit plans are frozen and do not allow new employees to join the plans. Some of the plans are unfunded, as permitted under the plans and applicable laws. For financial reporting purposes, we obtained actuarial reports supporting the calculation of net periodic pension costs that used a number of actuarial assumptions, including a discount rate for plan obligations, an assumed rate of return on pension plan assets, and an assumed rate of compensation increase for employees covered by the various plans. We reviewed these actuarial assumptions and concluded they were reasonable based upon our judgment, considering known trends and uncertainties. Actual results that differ from these assumptions would impact future expense recognition and the cash funding requirements of our pension plans.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based awards include (i) time-based restricted stock units (“time-based RSUs”), (ii) performance-based RSUs based on the achievement of Company adjusted EBITDA targets over a one-year performance period (the “Adjusted EBITDA RSUs”), (iii) performance-based RSUs based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to a group of peers over a three-year performance period (the “rTSR RSUs”) and (iv) employee stock purchase plan rights. We record compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards to employees and directors based upon the estimated fair market value of the underlying instrument. Accordingly, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based upon the fair value of the award.

We determine the fair value of time-based RSUs based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on our common stock prior to vesting. We determine the original fair value of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs based upon the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant reduced by

the present value of dividends expected to be paid on our common stock prior to vesting and adjust the fair value quarterly during the one-year performance period based upon actual and forecasted results against Company Adjusted EBITDA targets. Accordingly, the number of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs earned will depend on the actual Company Adjusted EBITDA achieved for the one-year performance period. For each quarter during the one-year performance period, we estimate the number of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs to be earned based on the probability of achieving the Company Adjusted EBITDA targets. Such estimates are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods when the underlying factors change the probability of achieving such Company Adjusted EBITDA targets. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense associated with Adjusted EBITDA RSU targets may differ significantly from the amount recorded in the current period. Such values are recognized as expense using the accelerated graded vesting method for Adjusted EBITDA RSUs, over the requisite service periods. We estimate the fair value of rTSR RSUs using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the price volatility of the underlying common stock. For the rTSR RSUs, the expense computed is fixed and recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period.

We provide certain employees the opportunity to purchase our shares through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). We estimate the fair value of shares issued under our ESPP using the Black-Scholes model, which incorporates a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Management determined that blended stock-based compensation, a combination of historical and implied volatility, is more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility than historical or implied volatility alone.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets . As a result of our acquisitions, we have identified intangible assets and generated significant goodwill. Definite-lived intangible assets are valued based on estimates of future cash flows and amortized over their estimated useful life. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including assumptions about appropriate discount rates as well as forecasted revenue, terminal growth rate, gross profit and operating expenses.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to annual impairment testing as well as testing upon the occurrence of any event that indicates a potential impairment. Intangible assets and other long-lived assets are also subject to an impairment test if there is an indicator of impairment. If our expectations of future results and cash flows are significantly diminished, intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets may be impaired and the resulting charge to operations may be material. When we determine that the carrying value of intangible assets or other long-lived assets may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, we use the projected undiscounted cash flow method to determine whether an impairment exists and then measure the impairment using discounted cash flows. To measure impairment for goodwill, we compare the fair value of our reporting units by measuring discounted cash flows to the book value of the reporting units. Goodwill would be impaired if the resulting implied fair value was less than the recorded book value of the goodwill.

The estimation of useful lives and expected cash flows requires us to make significant judgments regarding future periods that are subject to factors outside of our control. Changes in these estimates can result in significant revisions to the carrying value of these assets and may result in material charges to the results of operations.

We have elected to perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31 of each year, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of acquired net assets exceeded the fair value of those net assets on the date of acquisition. We allocate goodwill to reporting units at the time of acquisition or when there is a change in the reporting structure and base that allocation on which reporting units will benefit from the acquired assets and liabilities. Reporting units are defined as operating segments or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The estimated fair value of our reporting units was based on discounted cash flow models derived from internal earnings and internal and external market forecasts. Determining fair value requires the exercise of significant judgment, including assumptions about appropriate discount and perpetual growth rates, as well as forecasted revenue growth rates and gross profit and operating expenses. Discount rates are based on a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), which represents the average rate a business must pay its providers of debt and equity. The WACC used to test goodwill is derived from a group of comparable companies. Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a high degree of judgment and complexity. We make every effort to forecast these future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is developed.

Effective January 1, 2025, we reassigned goodwill to certain reporting units within PSD resulting from a reorganization of that business. The goodwill was reassigned to the new reporting units using the relative fair value approach. We also concluded that the fair value of each reporting unit immediately before and after the reorganization exceeded its respective carrying value. For more information, see Note 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In performing our annual goodwill impairment test, we are permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing the qualitative assessment, we consider certain events and circumstances specific to the reporting unit and to the entity as a whole, such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance and cost factors when evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We are also permitted to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment. If we choose to undertake the qualitative assessment and we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we would then proceed to the quantitative impairment assessment. In the quantitative assessment, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, which includes goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss exists. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a goodwill impairment loss is measured and recorded.

As of October 31, 2025 and 2024, we performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill using a qualitative assessment for all of our reporting units. We determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values were more than the carrying values for each of the reporting units.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets. If market and economic conditions or business performance deteriorate, this could increase the likelihood of us recording an impairment charge. Our stock price and any estimated control premium are factors affecting the assessment of the fair value of our underlying reporting units for purposes of performing any goodwill impairment assessment.

Income Taxes. We evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets and assess the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. The future benefit to be derived from our deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income in each jurisdiction of the right type to realize the assets. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to be realized. Evaluating positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of the net deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” is a key judgment in this process. This assessment includes an evaluation of scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, estimates of projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance, or determine that a valuation allowance is no longer needed, an expense or benefit is recorded within the provision for income taxes line in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). In 2025, we decreased our valuation allowance by $72 million, primarily related to certain foreign interest and net operating loss carryforwards. Although realization is not guaranteed, we have concluded it is more likely than not that these assets, net of the remaining valuation allowance, will be realized.

We are subject to the income tax laws and regulations of the many jurisdictions in which we operate. These tax laws and regulations are complex and involve uncertainties in the application to our facts and circumstances that may be open to interpretation. Accounting for income taxes requires a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if, based on the technical merits, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon audit, including resolutions of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This process is inherently subjective since it requires our assessment of the probability of future outcomes. We re-evaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity. Any change in these factors could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.

Derivatives. As a result of our global operating activities and variable interest rate borrowings, we are exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. We address these risks through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We operate the program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies. We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments and those utilized as economic hedges. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

We have used derivative instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, options and net investment hedges, to manage certain foreign currency exposure, and interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage certain interest rate exposure. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations or, if hedge accounting is applied, in Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income (“OCI”) for the effective portion of the changes in fair value. The cash flows resulting from foreign exchange forward contracts are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities. All derivatives are stated at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets.

Accounting principles for qualifying hedges require detailed documentation that describes the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, including, but not limited to, the risk management objectives and hedging strategy and the methods to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. We assess the hedging relationships, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, using either the critical terms matching approach or a regression analysis approach to determine whether the designated hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in the value of the hedged item.

By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into derivative instruments with a diversified group of major investment grade financial institutions, for which no collateral is required. We have policies to monitor the credit risk of these counterparties. While there can be no assurance, we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of these counterparties.

Total net revenues

Net product revenues increased $312 million in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily driven by an increase of $206 million in net product revenues from our electronics and packaging market and an increase of $146 million in our semiconductor market, offset by a decrease of $41 million in our specialty industrial market. The increase in the electronics and packaging market was primarily a result of volume increases in chemistry and equipment sales at MSD as well as increased demand for PCB via drilling systems at PSD. The increase in the semiconductor market was primarily as a result of increases in sales at VSD, mainly due to an increase in demand in capital equipment related to strength in logic and foundry applications as well as higher NAND memory production upgrades, partially offset by volume decreases in sales in our lithography, metrology and inspection products at PSD. The decrease in the specialty industrial market was mainly due to a decrease in sales of our industrial products at VSD and MSD.

Net service revenues consisted mainly of fees for services related to the maintenance and repair of our products, sales of spare parts, and installation and training. Net service revenues increased $33 million in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to an increase in net service revenues in our semiconductor market, mainly at VSD, offset by a decrease of net service revenues in our electronics and packaging market, mainly at PSD and MSD.

Total international net revenues, including product and service, were $3.2 billion in 2025, compared to $2.8 billion in 2024, primarily driven by an increase of $155 million in sales to China.

The following table sets forth our net revenues by reportable segment:

Years Ended December 31,

(Dollars in millions)

Vacuum Solutions Division

Photonics Solutions Division

Materials Solutions Division

Total net revenues

Net revenues for our VSD segment increased $195 million in 2025, compared to 2024, mainly due to higher sales of our semiconductor capital equipment in logic and foundry applications, higher NAND memory production upgrades and higher service revenues. This was partially offset by decreases in industrial applications in our specialty industrial market.

Net revenues for our PSD segment increased $8 million in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily as a result of increased demand for PCB via drilling systems in our electronics and packaging market offset by decreased sales of our lithography, metrology and inspection products in our semiconductor market.

Net revenues for our MSD segment increased $142 million in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to higher chemistry and equipment sales in our electronics and packaging market partially offset by lower sales in industrial applications within our specialty industrial market.

(Dollars in millions)

Research and development

Research and development expenses increased $28 million in 2025, compared to 2024, mainly due to an increase of $21 million in compensation-related costs, including salaries, fringe and variable compensation expenses and a decrease of $2 million in research and development credits and government assistance received.

Our research and development efforts are primarily focused on developing and improving our instruments, components, chemistry, subsystems, systems and process control solutions to improve process performance and productivity. We have thousands of products, and our research and development efforts primarily consist of a large number of projects related to these products, none of which is individually material. Projects typically have a duration of 3 to 36 months but may be extended for development of new products.

We continue to make product advancements designed to meet our customers’ evolving needs. We have developed, and continue to develop, new products designed to address industry trends, such as the rising demand for more complex hardware architecture related to increasing investments in artificial intelligence, the shrinking of integrated circuit critical dimensions and technology inflections, and, in the flat panel display and solar markets, the transition to larger substrate sizes, which require more advanced processing and process control technology, the continuing drive toward more complex and accurate components and devices within the handset and tablet market, the growth in units and via counts in the high density interconnect PCB drilling market, and the transition from internal combustion to electric vehicles. In addition, we have developed, and continue to develop, products that support the migration to new classes of materials, ultra-thin layers, and 3D structures that are used in small geometry manufacturing. In our chemistry and equipment plating businesses, a majority of our research and development investment supports existing customers’ product improvement needs and their short-term research and development goals, which enables us to pioneer new high-value solutions while limiting commercial risk. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel engaged in research and development, fees paid to consultants, material costs for prototypes and other expenses related to the design, development, testing and enhancement of our products.

We believe that the continued investment in research and development and ongoing development of new products are essential to the expansion of our markets. We expect to continue to make significant investment in research and development activities. We are subject to risks from products not being developed in a timely manner, as well as from rapidly changing customer requirements and competitive threats from other companies and technologies. Our success depends on many of our products being designed into new generations of equipment for the semiconductor, electronics and packaging, and specialty industrial markets. We seek to develop products that are technologically advanced so that they are positioned to be chosen for use in each successive generation of semiconductor capital equipment and advanced markets applications. If our products are not chosen to be designed into our customers’ products, our net revenues may be reduced during the lifespan of those products.

(Dollars in millions)

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net, decreased by $65 million in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily as a result of the issuance of $1.4 billion of Convertible Notes (as defined and described further below under “Convertible Notes”) in May 2024, at a coupon rate of 1.25%, $1.2 billion of the proceeds of which were used to pay down our loans under the Term Loan Facility, which had an interest rate of approximately 7.8%. In addition, in July 2024, we entered into the Fourth Amendment, and in January 2025, we entered into the Fifth Amendment, each of which decreased the applicable margin for both the USD Tranche B and EUR Tranche B by 0.25%. Interest expense, net was also lower in 2025 as compared to the prior year as a result of various voluntary prepayments totaling $400 million in 2025 and $426 million in 2024, on loans under the Term Loan Facility.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2024, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of the acceleration of deferred financing and original issue discount costs associated with the Second Amendment in January 2024, the issuance of Convertible Notes in May 2024 and the Fourth Amendment in July 2024. In addition, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of the acceleration of deferred financing and original issue discount costs as a result of voluntary prepayments under the Term Loan Facility made in 2024, as described above.

(Dollars in millions)

Provision (benefit) for income taxes

Our effective tax rates for 2025 and 2024 were 2.9% and (5.7)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for 2025 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, mainly due to the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), research and development tax credits and valuation allowance release partially offset by foreign withholding taxes and a waiver of deductions related to the U.S. base erosion payments.

Our effective tax rate for 2024 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, mainly due to the U.S. deduction for FDII and valuation allowance release partially offset by foreign withholding taxes.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, total gross unrecognized tax benefits, which excludes interest and penalties, was $95 million and $94 million, respectively. The net increase was primarily due to the addition of income tax reserves related to intercompany transactions offset by a decrease related to audit settlements.

We accrue interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties are classified as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we accrued interest on unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $10 million and $8 million, respectively.

We are subject to examination by U.S. federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for tax years 2020 through the present. We are under U.S. federal audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022, and do not expect and are not aware of any unrecorded material adjustments. The statute of limitations for our tax filings in other jurisdictions varies between fiscal years 2020 through the present. We also have certain prior year federal credit carryforwards, state tax loss carryforwards and state tax credit carryforwards that are subject to examination to the extent used in an open year.

Our future effective tax rate depends on various factors, including the impact of tax legislation, further interpretations and guidance from U.S. federal and state governments on the impact of proposed regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service, as well as the geographic composition of our pre-tax income and changes in income tax reserves for unrecognized tax benefits. We monitor these factors and timely adjust our estimates of the effective tax rate accordingly. While we believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from our accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex application of tax laws and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgment by management. Accordingly, we could record additional provisions or benefits for U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and participating OECD member countries have issued rules introducing a 15% global minimum corporate tax rate for large multinational enterprise groups, also known as “Pillar Two.” The adoption and effective dates of these rules vary by country. Although the enacted and effective legislation in some countries was applicable to us as of January 1, 2024, the legislation did not have a material impact on our 2025 financial results. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of any developing legislation, but we do not anticipate it will have a material impact on our results in future periods.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA includes changes to the U.S. tax code, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. These changes to the U.S.

tax code have not had a material impact on our results since the enactment of OBBBA and we do not anticipate these changes to the U.S. tax code will have a material impact on our results in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $675 million and $714 million, respectively. The primary driver of our current and anticipated future cash flows is, and we expect will continue to be, cash generated from operations, consisting primarily of our net income (loss), excluding non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Our total cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 consisted of $199 million held in the United States and $476 million held by our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that our current cash and investments position and available borrowing capacity, together with the cash anticipated to be generated from our operations, will be sufficient to satisfy our estimated working capital needs, planned capital expenditure requirements, payments of debt, potential settlement of convertible debt conversions and any future cash dividends declared by our Board of Directors or share repurchases through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.

In periods when our sales are growing, higher sales to customers will result in increased trade receivables, and inventories will generally increase as we build products for future sales. This may result in lower cash generated from operations. Conversely, in periods when our sales are declining, our trade accounts receivable and inventory balances will generally decrease, resulting in increased cash from operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $645 million for 2025 and resulted from net income of $295 million, which included non-cash charges of $275 million, mainly the result of $344 million in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by $196 million in deferred income taxes and a net decrease in working capital of $75 million. The net decrease in working capital was primarily due to increases in current and non-current accrued compensation of $83 million as a result of higher variable compensation, accounts payable of $55 million and income taxes payable of $21 million, partially offset by increases in inventories of $50 million, as a result of higher business levels, as well as a decrease in other current and non-current liabilities of $32 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $528 million for 2024 and resulted from net income of $190 million, which included non-cash charges of $334 million, offset by a net decrease in working capital of $4 million. The net decrease in working capital was primarily due to an increase in income taxes payable of $49 million, an increase in accounts payable of $21 million, a decrease in other current and non-current assets of $25 million, primarily related to a decrease in right of use assets, and a decrease in inventory of $20 million. This net decrease in working capital was partially offset by a decrease in other current and non-current liabilities of $43 million, a decrease in current and non-current accrued compensation of $32 million as a result of lower variable compensation and an increase in accounts receivable of $36 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $145 million for 2025, consisting primarily of $148 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to new facility additions in Malaysia and China.

Net cash used in investing activities was $117 million for 2024, consisting primarily of $118 million in capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $562 million for 2025, consisting primarily of normal quarterly debt payments and voluntary debt prepayments that together totaled $451 million, as well as the repurchase of our common stock for $45 million and dividend payments of $59 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $549 million for 2024, primarily due to net proceeds from the issuance of Convertible Notes of $1.4 billion and incremental loans under the Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $761 million. The proceeds of the incremental loans under the Term Loan Facility were used in part to prepay the USD Tranche A term loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined and described further below under “Credit Facilities”) in full in an aggregate principal amount of $744 million, and the proceeds of the Convertible Notes were used in part to prepay a portion of the USD Tranche B loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.2 billion. In addition, there were normal quarterly debt payments and voluntary prepayments that totaled $476 million. We also made payments of $167 million to purchase a capped call option related to the Convertible Notes, $33 million for debt financing costs and $59 million for dividends.

On July 25, 2011, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $200 million of our outstanding common stock from time to time in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or through other appropriate means. The timing and quantity of any shares repurchased depends upon a variety of factors, including business conditions, stock market conditions and business development activities, including, but not limited to, merger and acquisition opportunities. These repurchases may be commenced, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Any repurchased shares are held by us as authorized but unissued shares.

In 2025, we repurchased approximately 546,000 shares of our common stock for total consideration of $45 million. We have

repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock for approximately $172 million pursuant to the program since its adoption.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if they are declared by our Board of Directors. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we paid cash dividends of $59 million in the aggregate or $0.88 per share, respectively.

On February 9, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on March 6, 2026 to shareholders of record as of February 23, 2026. Future dividend declarations, if any, as well as the record and payment dates for such dividends, are subject to the final determination of our Board of Directors.

Credit Facilities

In connection with the completion of the Atotech Acquisition, on August 17, 2022 (the “Effective Date”) we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, Barclays Bank PLC, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, which we have amended several times since including, most recently, in February 2026 (as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). As of December 31, 2025, the Amended Credit Agreement provided for (i) a senior secured term loan facility comprised of two tranches: a $2.2 billion loan (the “USD Tranche B”) and a €587 million loan (the “Euro Tranche B” and together with the USD Tranche B, the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility of $675 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), with the commitments under each of the foregoing facilities subject to increase from time to time subject to certain conditions. In each of January 2025, June 2025, August 2025 and October 2025, we made an additional voluntary prepayment of $100 million principal amount to the USD Tranche B loan.

As of December 31, 2025, borrowings under the Credit Facilities bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, any of the following, plus, in each case, an applicable margin: (a) with respect to the USD Tranche B and the Revolving Facility, (x) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (2) the prime rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal, or (3) a forward-looking term rate based on the variable secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”) (plus, with respect to the Revolving Facility, an applicable credit spread adjustment) for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00%, and (y) a Term SOFR rate (plus, with respect to the Revolving Facility, an applicable credit spread adjustment) for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, subject to a rate floor of (I) with respect to the USD Tranche B, 0.50% and (II) with respect to the Revolving Facility, 0.0%; and (b) with respect to the Euro Tranche B, a Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for Euro deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a EURIBOR rate floor of 0.0%. As of December 31, 2025, the applicable margins for borrowings under the Credit Facilities were (i) under the USD Tranche B, 1.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.00% with respect to Term SOFR borrowings, (ii) under the Euro Tranche B, 2.50% and (iii) under the Revolving Facility, 1.50% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.50% with respect to Term SOFR borrowings.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Credit Facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee in respect of the unutilized commitments under the Revolving Facility. The commitment fee is subject to adjustment based on our first lien net leverage ratio as of the end of the preceding fiscal quarter. We must also pay customary letter of credit fees and agency fees. As of December 31, 2025, the commitment fee was 0.25% per annum.

As of December 31, 2025, the principal outstanding on the Term Loan Facility was $2.9 billion, and the weighted average interest rate was 5.4%. As of December 31, 2025, the Revolving Facility had a maturity date in August 2027 while the Term Loan Facility had a maturity date in August 2029. As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

As of December 31, 2025, we were required to make scheduled quarterly principal payments equal to approximately $10 million with respect to the USD Tranche B and approximately €2 million with respect to the Euro Tranche B, in each case with the balance due thereunder on the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility. There is no scheduled amortization under the Revolving Facility. Any principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility is due and payable in full on the maturity date of the Revolving Facility.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we are required to prepay outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with portions of our annual excess cash flow as well as with the net cash proceeds of certain of its asset sales, certain casualty and condemnation events and the incurrence or issuances of certain debt. If at any time the aggregate amount of outstanding loans, unreimbursed letter of credit drawings and undrawn letters of credit under the Revolving Facility exceeds the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Facility, we are required to repay outstanding loans and/or cash collateralize letters of credit, with no reduction of the commitment amount.

We may voluntarily prepay, and have voluntarily repaid, outstanding loans under the Credit Facilities from time to time, subject to certain conditions, without premium or penalty other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to Term SOFR or EURIBOR loans and any prepayment premium that might be applicable to repayments we make prior to August 4, 2026. Additionally, we may voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount under the Revolving Facility.

All obligations under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by certain of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and are required to be guaranteed by certain of our future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of such subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions.

Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we have the ability to incur additional incremental debt facilities in an amount up to (x) the greater of (1) $1,011 million and (2) 75% of consolidated last 12 months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, plus (y) an amount equal to the sum of all voluntary prepayments of term loans under the Term Loan Facility, plus (z) an additional unlimited amount subject to pro forma compliance with certain leverage ratio tests (based on the security and priority of such incremental debt).

The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and provisions relating to events of default. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement. The USD Tranche B and the Euro Tranche B are not subject to financial maintenance covenants.

2026 Amendment and Prepayment of Credit Facilities

On February 4, 2026 (the “Sixth Amendment Effective Date”), we entered into the Sixth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”). Pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, we (i) refinanced our existing USD Tranche B loan and Euro Tranche B loan with a new $914 million USD Tranche B loan and a new €587 million Euro Tranche B loan, (ii) refinanced and increased the commitments under our existing Revolving Credit Facility with a new $1 billion Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) decreased the applicable margin for the USD Tranche B from 2.00% to 1.75% with respect to Term SOFR borrowings and from 1.00% to 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings, (iv) decreased the applicable margin for the Euro Tranche B from 2.50% to 2.00%, (v) decreased the applicable margin under the Revolving Facility from 2.50% to 1.75% with respect to SOFR borrowings and from 1.50% to 0.75% with respect to base rate borrowings, (vi) eliminated the credit spread adjustment applicable to SOFR borrowings of the Revolving Facility, (vii) extended the maturity of the Term Loan Facility to February 2033 and (viii) extended the maturity of the Revolving Facility to February 2031. Additionally, pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, we (a) extended the period during which a 1.00% prepayment premium may be required if we prepay any loans under the USD Tranche B or the Euro Tranche B in connection with a repricing transaction until the date that is six months following the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, and (b) reduced the amount of scheduled quarterly principal payments we are required to make with respect to the USD Tranche B to approximately $2 million. The repriced USD Tranche B loan and Euro Tranche B loan were issued without original issue discount.

On February 4, 2026, concurrently with the effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment, we made a voluntary prepayment of approximately $1.3 billion principal amount to the USD Tranche B loan using the net proceeds from the 2034 Notes (as defined below), together with cash on hand, reducing the principal from $2.2 billion to $914 million.

Convertible Notes

On May 16, 2024, we completed a private offering of $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes”).

We used approximately $167 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. We used the remaining net proceeds from the offering to repay approximately $1.2 billion in borrowings outstanding under the USD Tranche B, together with accrued interest, as well as for general corporate purposes.

Indenture and the Convertible Notes

On May 16, 2024, we entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with respect to the Convertible Notes with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. Under the Indenture, the Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ours and bear interest at a coupon rate of 1.25% per annum, with interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2024. The Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms.

The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is initially 6.4799 shares of our common stock per one thousand dollars principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $154.32 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Subject to certain conditions, on or after June 5, 2027, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date the notice of redemption is sent.

Upon conversion, we will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2030, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes under the following circumstances:

during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2024, if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price of the Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day (approximately $200.62 per share based on an initial conversion price of approximately $154.32 per share, which is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events);

during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day;

if we call any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or

upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as specified in the Indenture.

On or after March 1, 2030, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, noteholders may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at any time.

If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants, including that upon certain events of default that are occurring and continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Convertible Notes to be due and payable.

As of December 31, 2025, the Convertible Notes were classified as a long-term liability, net of issuances costs, on the consolidated balance sheet. The Convertible Notes were issued at par and costs associated with the issuance of the Convertible Notes are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the Convertible Notes. There were no conversions of the Convertible Notes in 2025 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes was 1.56%.

Capped Call Transactions

On May 13, 2024, in connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, and on May 14, 2024, in connection with the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase additional Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes or their respective affiliates and other financial institutions. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of any Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments that we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of any converted Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $237.42 per share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of $118.71 per share of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 13, 2024, and is subject to customary adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.

2034 Notes

On February 4, 2026, we completed a private offering (the “2034 Notes Offering”) of €1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”). The Notes were sold in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and

to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. We used the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to prepay approximately $1.3 billion of the USD Tranche B.

Indenture and the 2034 Notes

On February 4, 2026, we and the Guarantors (as defined below) entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with respect to the 2034 Notes with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Under the Indenture, the 2034 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.250% per annum, with interest payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2026. The 2034 Notes will mature on February 15, 2034, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in accordance with their terms.

The 2034 Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by our existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement or are required to become guarantors under certain circumstances and subject to certain exceptions (the “Guarantors”).

The 2034 Notes and the guarantees are general senior unsecured obligations of us and the Guarantors. The 2034 Notes and guarantees will be:

pari passu in right of payment with any of our and the Guarantors’ existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness (including the Credit Agreement);

effectively subordinated to our and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including the Credit Agreement) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness;

senior in right of payment to any of our and the Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness;

structurally senior to any existing and future indebtedness of us that is not guaranteed by the Guarantors (including the Convertible Notes); and

structurally subordinated to any existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our and the Guarantors’ subsidiaries that are not and do not become Guarantors.

At any time prior to February 15, 2029, we may redeem the 2034 Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

At any time and from time to time on or after February 15, 2029, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2034 Notes at a redemption price equal to the percentage of principal amount set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on February 15 of the year indicated below:

Year

Percentage

2031 and thereafter

At any time and from time to time prior to February 15, 2029, we may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2034 Notes using the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 104.250%.

In the event of certain developments affecting taxation, we may elect to redeem all, but not less than all, of the 2034 Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), each holder of the 2034 Notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of their 2034 Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

The Indenture contains customary terms and covenants that limit the ability of us and our Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to, among other things, (i) incur liens, (ii) provide guarantees and (iii) consolidate, merge or sell or otherwise dispose of substantially all their assets.

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default. Upon certain events of default that are occurring and continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2034 Notes may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, on, all the 2034 Notes to be due and payable. In the event of certain insolvency and bankruptcy related events of default specified in the Indenture, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and additional amounts, if any, on, all the 2034 Notes shall automatically become due and payable.

Based on current interest rates, we expect that the annualized cash interest savings as a result of (i) the Sixth Amendment, (ii) the voluntary prepayment of approximately $1.3 billion principal amount to the USD Tranche B loan and (iii) the 2034 Notes Offering will be approximately $27 million.

Lines of Credit and Borrowing Arrangements

Certain of our Japanese subsidiaries have lines of credit and a financing facility with various financial institutions, many of which generally expire and are renewed at three-month intervals with the remaining having no expiration date. The lines of credit and financing facility provided for aggregate borrowings as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 of up to an equivalent of $13 million and $19 million, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under these arrangements at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Derivatives

We enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally, and in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, options, and net investment hedges, to manage certain foreign currency exposure, and interest rate swaps and caps to manage certain interest rate exposure. We do not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. We enter into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and no collateral is required. We have policies to monitor the credit risk of these counterparties. While there can be no assurance, we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of these counterparties.

Interest Rate Swaps

We have various interest rate swap agreements, which are cash-flow hedges, maturing through January 31, 2029 that exchange a one-month forward-looking term rate based on Term SOFR paid on the outstanding balance of our USD Term Loan Facility, to a fixed rate. The notional value of the agreements was $1,900 million and $2,600 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We acquired USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“USD LIBOR”) based interest rate cap agreements as a result of the Atotech Acquisition and had utilized these agreements to offset Term SOFR on our Term Loan Facility. The interest rate cap agreements expired on January 31, 2024.

The interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and changes in the fair value are recognized in OCI. To the extent these arrangements are no longer effective hedges, the hedging relationship will be discontinued and changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments from the last assessment period that were effective up to the current period will be recorded immediately in earnings. Amounts previously recorded in OCI will remain in OCI and will be reclassified to earnings when the interest payments impact consolidated earnings. If we determine that the interest payments are unlikely to occur, amounts previously recorded in OCI will be reclassified to earnings immediately. Changes in the fair value of interest rate caps were recorded immediately in earnings, as we did not designate these instruments as hedges and therefore these instruments did not qualify for hedge accounting. The cash flows resulting from interest rate agreements are classified in cash flows from operating activities. We expect an immaterial amount of gains or losses to be reclassified from accumulated OCI into interest expense related to interest rate swaps during the twelve months ending December 31, 2026.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

We hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany sales of inventory and certain of our foreign subsidiaries’ operating expenses, over a maximum period of twenty-four months, using foreign exchange forward contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges. To the extent these derivatives are effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, and otherwise meet the hedge accounting criteria, changes in the derivatives’ fair value are not included in current earnings but are included in OCI in stockholders’ equity. These changes in fair value will subsequently be reclassified into earnings as applicable, when the forecasted transaction occurs. To the extent that a previously designated hedging transaction is no longer an effective hedge, any ineffectiveness measured in the hedging relationship is recorded in earnings in the period it occurs. The cash flows resulting from foreign exchange forward contracts are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities. Gains and losses on foreign exchange forward contracts that qualify for hedge accounting are classified in cost of revenues in 2025 and 2024 and totaled gains of $4 million and $6 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. There were no ineffective portions of the derivatives recorded in 2025 and 2024. We expect an immaterial amount of gains or losses to be reclassified from accumulated OCI into cost of revenues related to foreign exchange forward contracts during the twelve months ending December 31, 2026.

We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge against certain monetary asset and liability accounts on the consolidated balance sheet to mitigate the risk associated with certain foreign currency transactions in the ordinary course of business. These derivatives are not designated as cash flow hedging instruments and gains or losses from these derivatives are recorded immediately in other expense (income), net. The net foreign exchange loss on these derivatives was $3 million in 2025, compared to a gain of $1 million in 2024. The cash flows resulting from foreign exchange forward contracts are classified in our consolidated statements of cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities.

We had foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling $5 million and $74 million outstanding at December 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively. The Canadian dollar was the only notional contract designated as a cash flow hedging instrument for 2025, and the Japanese yen and the South Korean won were the largest notional contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments for 2024. We had foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments with notional amounts totaling $367 million and $154 million outstanding at December 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, respectively. The Euro, Chinese yuan, British pound and New Taiwan dollar were the largest notional contracts for 2025, and the British pound and Chinese yuan were the largest notional contracts for 2024 for balance sheet hedges not designated as a hedging instrument.

Net Investment Hedges

We have designated certain Euro-denominated debt as a net investment hedge to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our entities with functional currencies denominated in the Euro. As of December 31, 2025, we designated as a net investment hedge €587 million in aggregate principal amount of our Euro Tranche B loan. On February 4, 2026, in connection with the 2034 Notes Offering, we also designated as a net investment hedge €1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2034 Notes. For these net investment hedges, we record foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses within a component of OCI. Recognition in earnings of amounts previously recorded in accumulated OCI is limited to circumstances such as the complete or substantially complete liquidation or sale of the net investment in the hedged foreign operations.

Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2025, we are a party to purchase commitments for certain inventory components and other equipment and services used in our normal operations totaling approximately $490 million. The majority of these purchase commitments covered by these arrangements are for periods of less than one year.

In addition, we have various operating leases for real estate and non-real estate items. The non-real estate leases are mainly comprised of automobiles but also include office equipment and other lower-valued items. We also have a small number of finance leases for real estate.

Future payments related to operating and finance leases are as follows:

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitat ive Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk and Sensitivity Analysis

Our primary exposures to market risks include fluctuations in interest rates on our Term Loan Facility, as defined and as described further in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Our currency risk consists primarily of foreign currency denominated firm commitments, forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany and third-party transactions, and net investments in certain subsidiaries. We use both nonderivative and derivative instruments to manage our earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in currency exchange rates.

We mainly enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce currency exposure arising from intercompany sales of inventory and certain of our foreign subsidiaries’ operating expenses. We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce foreign exchange risks arising from the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

We had foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges with notional amounts totaling $5 million and $74 million outstanding at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Canadian dollar was the only notional contract designated as a cash flow hedging instrument for 2025, and the Japanese yen and the South Korean won were the largest notional contracts designated as cash flow hedging instruments for 2024. We had foreign exchange forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments with notional amounts totaling $367 million and $154 million outstanding at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For 2025, the Euro, Chinese yuan, British pound and New Taiwan dollar were the largest notional contracts and for 2024 British pound and Chinese yuan were the largest notional contracts for balance sheet hedges not designated as a hedging instrument. The potential fair value loss for a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the currency exchange rate on our foreign exchange forward contracts at December 31, 2025 and 2024 would be immaterial.

We designated certain Euro-denominated debt as a net investment hedge to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our entities with functional currencies denominated in the Euro. As of December 31, 2025, we designated as a net investment hedge €587 million in aggregate principal amount of our Euro Tranche B loan. On February 4, 2026, in connection with the 2034 Notes Offering, we also designated as a net investment hedge €1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 2034 Notes. For these nonderivative instruments, we defer recognition of the foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses within the foreign currency translation adjustment component of OCI.

Interest Rate Risk

We hold our cash and cash equivalents for working capital purposes. Some of the cash equivalents are subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of such cash equivalents to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we maintain a portion of our portfolio of cash and cash equivalents in money market funds. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our cash equivalents as a result of changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce future interest income. The effect of a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in overall interest rates would not have had a material impact on our operating results or the total fair value of our portfolio.

We have various interest rate swap agreements as described further in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates—Derivatives” that exchange the one-month Term SOFR interest rate to a fixed rate in order to manage the exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with the variable Term SOFR interest rate paid on the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Facility.

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates related to our Term Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2025, the principal outstanding on our Term Loan Facility was $2.9 billion, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.4%. A 10% increase or decrease in the weighted average interest rate as of December 31, 2025 would increase or decrease annual interest expense by approximately $9 million, excluding the effect of our interest rate hedges. Because the notional amount of our interest rate hedges as of December 31, 2025 equaled approximately 66% of the principal outstanding on our Term Loan Facility, the resulting net impact to interest expense would be approximately $4 million. The quantitative information presented reflects the terms of our Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2025 and does not reflect the Sixth Amendment and 2034 Notes Offering completed in 2026. For a discussion of the expected impact on our future interest expense and liquidity, see Part II—Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Equity Price Risk

We are exposed to equity price risk related to the conversion options embedded in our Convertible Notes. We issued $1.4 billion of Convertible Notes in May 2024. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a fixed rate and therefore have no financial statement risk associated with changes in market interest rates. However, the fair value of Convertible Notes fluctuates when interest rates change. We carry the Convertible Notes at face value less an unamortized discount on our consolidated balance sheet, and we present the fair value for required disclosure purposes only. Additionally, the fair value can be affected when the market price of our common stock fluctuates. The potential value of the shares to be distributed to the holders of our Convertible Notes changes when the market price of our stock fluctuates. The Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2030 unless earlier repurchased by us or converted pursuant to their terms. Additional details about the terms of the Convertible Notes can be found in Note 14 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
