LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND OTHER MATTERS Legal Proceedings Lufthansa On December 29, 2010, Lufthansa Technik AG (Lufthansa) filed a Statement of Claim in the Regional State Court of Mannheim, Germany. Lufthansas claim asserted that a subsidiary of the Company, AES, sold, marketed, and brought into use in Germany a power supply system that infringes upon a German patent held by Lufthansa. In February 2015, the Regional State Court of Mannheim, Germany held that the patent was infringed. The Company appealed to the Higher Regional Court of Karlsruhe. In November 2016, the Higher Regional Court of Karlsruhe upheld the lower courts decision. The Company sought permission to appeal to the German Federal Supreme Court. In March 2019, the German Federal Supreme Court dismissed AES's appeal. With this decision, these proceedings are complete. AES modified the outlet units at the end of 2014 and the overwhelming majority of the modified outlet units sold from 2015 on do not infringe the patent of Lufthansa. In July 2017, Lufthansa filed an action in the Regional State Court of Mannheim for payment of damages caused by AESs direct sales of the infringing power supply system into Germany (referred to as direct sales). A first instance decision in this matter was handed down on December 6, 2019. According to this ruling, Lufthansa was awarded damages in the amount of approximately $3.2 million plus interest. In 2020, AES made payment of $4.7 million, inclusive of interest, in satisfaction of …

EQUITY COMPENSATION The Company has equity compensation plans that authorize the issuance of restricted stock units or options for shares of Common Stock to directors, officers and key employees. Equity-based compensation is designed to reward long-term contributions to the Company and provide incentives for recipients to join and to remain with the Company. The exercise price of stock options, determined by a committee of the Board of Directors, is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date. Options become exercisable over periods not exceeding ten years and must be exercised within ten years from the grant date. The Companys practice has been to issue new shares upon the exercise of the options. The Company established its 2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan for the purpose of attracting and retaining executive officers and key employees, and to align managements interest with those of the shareholders. At December 31, 2025, the Company had options outstanding for 49,887 shares under the plans.

FAIR VALUE On a Recurring Basis: A financial asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There were no financial assets or liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 or 2024. On a Non-recurring Basis: Long-lived assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever adverse effects or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test consists of comparing the undiscounted projected cash flows of the asset or asset group (which are Level 3 inputs) with the asset of asset groups carrying amount. Should the carrying amount exceed undiscounted projected cash flows, an impairment loss would be recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds fair value. There were no impairment charges related to long-lived assets in 2025, 2024 or 2023 and no long-lived assets are required to be measured at fair value for purposes of the long-lived asset recoverability test. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. The carrying value of the Companys variable rate long-term debt instruments also approximates fair value due to the variable rate feature of these instruments. Refer to Note 8, Long-Term Debt, for additional information relating to the fair value of the Company's outstan …

LEASES The Company has operating and finance leases for leased office and manufacturing facilities and equipment leases. We have concluded that when an agreement grants us the right to substantially all of the economic benefits associated with an identified asset, and we are able to direct the use of that asset throughout the term of the agreement, we have a lease. We lease certain office equipment under finance leases, and we lease certain production facilities, office equipment and vehicles under operating leases. Some of our leases include options to extend or terminate the leases and these options have been included in the relevant lease term to the extent that they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The right-of-use (ROU) assets, ROU lease liabilities, and lease costs related to the Companys finance leases were immaterial as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. If the lease arrangement also contains non-lease components, the Company elected the practical expedient not to separate any combined lease and non-lease components for all lease contracts. For our real estate leases, the payments used in the calculation of a new lease liability include fixed payments and variable payments (if the variable payments are based on an index) over the remaining lease term. Variable lease payments based on indices have been included in the related right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, while variable lease payments based on usage of the …

RETIREMENT PLANS AND RELATED POST RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company has two non-qualified supplemental retirement defined benefit plans (SERP and SERP II) for certain current and retired executive officers. The accumulated benefit obligation of the plans as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounts to $24.5 million and $21.4 million, respectively. The plans provide for benefits based upon average annual compensation and years of service and, in the case of SERP, there are offsets for social security and profit sharing benefits. It is the Companys intent to fund the plans as plan benefits become payable, since no assets exist at December 31, 2025 or 2024 for either of the plans. The Company accounts for the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of its pension plans in accordance with the recognition and disclosure provisions of ASC Topic 715, Compensation, Retirement Benefits , which requires the Company to recognize the funded status in its balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), net of tax. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to the Companys historical policy for amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of AOCI. If actuarial gains and losses exceed …

REVENUE Revenue is recognized when, or as, the Company transfers control of promised products or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. Sales shown on the Companys Consolidated Statements of Operations are from contracts with customers. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within a range from 30 to 90 days after the performance obligation has been satisfied; or in certain cases, up-front deposits. In circumstances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of receipt of consideration, the Company has determined that the Companys contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from sales. The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental, material costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year and the costs are expected to be recovered. These incremental costs include, but are not limited to, sales commissions incurred to obtain a contract with a customer. The Company has elected the practical expedient available under ASC 340-40-25-4 to immediately expense the incremental cost of obtaining a contract when the expected benefit of those costs is less than one year.

Legal Proceedings One of the Companys subsidiaries is involved in numerous patent infringement actions brought by Lufthansa Technik AG (Lufthansa) in Germany, the United Kingdom (UK) and France. The Company is vigorously defending all such litigation and proceedings. Additional information about these legal proceedings can be found in Note 19, Legal Proceedings, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in the 2024 10-K. The reserve for the German indirect claim and interest was approximately $17.5 million at September 27, 2025 and $17.1 million on December 31, 2024. The Company currently believes it is unlikely that the damages in the German indirect proceedings and related interest will be paid within the next twelve months. Therefore, the liability related to this matter is classified within Other Liabilities (non-current) in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at September 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024. In the matter before the UK High Court of Justice, Lufthansa had pleaded its case for monetary compensation at a separate trial which was conducted in October 2024.

Income Taxes The effective tax rates were approximately 9.9% and (126.9)% for the three months ended and 14.4% and (58.5)% for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively. Beginning with the 2025 tax year, U.S. domestic research and development costs can be expensed as incurred. In addition, there are options to expense any remaining unamortized research and development costs that were previously capitalized during the 2022 through 2024 tax years. The tax rate in the 2025 period was favorably impacted by the reversal of a valuation allowance related to previously capitalized research and development costs that are expected to be expensed in the 2025 period and partially offset by valuation allowances related to net operating losses and certain timing differences. In addition, the tax rate in the 2025 period was also impacted by state and foreign income taxes and a discrete adjustment to reverse certain federal and state deferred tax liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets if and to the extent it is more likely than not that the Company will not recover the deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company weighs all relevant positive and negative evidence, and considers among other factors, historical financial performance, projected future taxable income, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, the overall business environment, and tax planning strategie …
