Bel Fuse Inc. reported higher Q2 2026 net sales of $210.7 million compared with $168.3 million a year earlier, across both Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions and Industrial Technology & Data Solutions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Bel’s control. Bel’s actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in our forward-looking statements (including without limitation any of Bel’s projections) due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, the following: risks related to the protection of our intellectual property rights; difficulties associated with integrating previously acquired companies, including any unanticipated difficulties, or unexpected or higher than anticipated expenditures; the possibility that the Bel’s intended acquisition of the remaining 20% stake in Enercon Technologies Ltd ("Enercon") is not completed, and any resulting disruptions to Bel’s business and its currently 80% owned Enercon subsidiary; trends in demand which can affect Bel’s products and results; the market concerns facing Bel’s customers, and risks for its business in the event of the loss of certain substantial customers; the continuing viability of sectors that rely on Bel’s products; the effects of business and economic conditions, and challenges impacting the macroeconomic environment generally and/or Bel's industry specifically; the effects of energy and other input costs, and cost changes generally, including the potential impact of inflationary pressures; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, including supply chain constraints or other challenges; the impact of public health crises; difficulties associated with the availability of labor, and the risks of any labor unrest or labor shortages; risks associated with Bel’s international operations, including its substantial manufacturing operations in China and Israel; risks related to Bel’s indebtedness; risks associated with restructuring programs or other strategic initiatives, including any difficulties in implementation or realization of the expected benefits or cost savings; product development, commercialization or technological difficulties (including risks relating to artificial intelligence); the regulatory and trade environment of the countries in which Bel transacts business or that may otherwise impact Bel, its customers and/or its suppliers; risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates; uncertainties associated with legal proceedings; the market’s acceptance of Bel’s products and competitive responses to those products; the impact of changes to U.S. and applicable foreign legal and regulatory requirements, including tax laws; and other risks detailed in Bel’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (our “2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) and in subsequent reports filed by Bel with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

BEL FUSE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
| 1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest, and cash flows for the periods presented herein have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Bel Fuse Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations, including the interim reporting requirements, of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
All amounts included in the tables to these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, except per share amounts, are in thousands.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
May 2026 Follow-on Public Offering of Class B Common Stock: In May 2026, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of
There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires a public business entity ("PBE") to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. In addition, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The Company adopted this ASU in 2025.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to improve disclosures about a PBE's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. Such information should allow investors to better understand an entity's performance, assess future cash flows, and compare performance over time and with other entities. The amendments will require PBEs to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, specific information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each expense caption presented on the face of the income statement, and the total amount of an entity's selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
| 2. | ACQUISITIONS |
Acquisition of dataMate
On March 5, 2026, we completed the acquisition of dataMate (“dataMate”), a provider of Ethernet and broadband connectivity solutions, from Methode Electronics, Inc. for aggregate consideration of approximately $
The acquisition is expected to broaden Bel’s customer reach and increase exposure to attractive end markets, including networking, data centers, industrial automation, smart buildings and broadband deployment, while providing R&D capabilities. Bel also believes the acquisition provides opportunities to leverage dataMate’s ongoing technology development, including solutions intended to deliver data and power over a single pair of wires, to support future product expansion.
No separate fair value step-up was recorded for inventory. Any further adjustments to the valuation of identifiable intangible assets will be reflected in goodwill as the purchase price allocation is finalized. Goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition was $
The results of operations of dataMate have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The results of dataMate are reported within the Company’s ITDS segment. The contribution of dataMate to our net sales was $

The results of operations of dataMate have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the acquisition date of March 5, 2026. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and dataMate as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2025, as applicable to the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred on the assumed date, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results. The unaudited pro forma information reflects adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable, and, with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the realization of any anticipated cost savings, synergies, or operating efficiencies that may result from the acquisition, nor does it reflect any nonrecurring integration-related costs that may be incurred, while certain cost savings may result from the acquisition, there can be no assurance that such cost savings will be achieved.

The balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:
| June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Contract assets - current (unbilled receivables) | $ | $ | ||||||
| Contract liabilities - current (deferred revenue) | $ | $ | ||||||
| Accounts receivable, net | $ | $ | ||||||
The change in the balance of the Company’s unbilled receivables from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 primarily reflects a timing difference between (i) when the Company satisfies its performance obligation (i.e., when product is shipped to a customer-controlled hub and control transfers in accordance with the applicable contract terms) and (ii) when the Company has an unconditional right to invoice the customer under the contractual invoicing provisions (i.e., when the customer withdraws (“pulls”) product from the customer-controlled hub). Accordingly, unbilled receivables represent amounts for which revenue has been recognized but which are not yet billable, and are expected to be billed as customers withdraw product from the hub.
The Company’s contract liabilities (deferred revenue) at December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026 primarily relate to customer prepayments and advance billings for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Revenue is recognized upon shipment (or otherwise upon transfer of control) of the related goods in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Contract liabilities are classified as current and are included in other current liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, contract liabilities increased by approximately $

| 5. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date. Entities are required to use a fair value hierarchy which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our available-for-sale securities primarily consisted of investments held in a rabbi trust which are intended to fund the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) obligations. These securities are measured at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) inputs and amounted to $

In connection with the acquisition of Enercon as further described in Note 2, "Acquisition", the sellers are eligible to receive an Earnout Payment based on the achievement of certain financial metrics for each of the fiscal 2025 and 2026 Earnout Periods. As this contingent consideration will be settled in cash by Bel if the related metrics are achieved, this contingent consideration has been classified as a liability on the accompanying balance sheets at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The earnout liabilities were initially recorded at a fair value of $

| Earnout payment liability - 2025 | Other current liabilities | $ | $ | ||||||
| Earnout payment liability - 2026 | Other long-term liabilities | ||||||||
| $ | $ | ||||||||
The change in the fair value of the 2025 Earnout Payment noted above from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026 relates to the full achievement of the earnout targets in 2025 and resulting payment thereof to the Sellers during the first quarter of 2026. Changes in the fair value of the 2026 Earnout Payment have been recognized through earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Aside from the earnout liability described above, the Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3, and there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months ended June 30, 2026 or June 30, 2025. There were no changes to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair values on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the three months ended June 30, 2026 or June 30, 2025.
During 2025, the Company performed its annual impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets and determined that no impairment charges were required. There were no financial assets or indefinite-lived intangible assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
The Company has other financial instruments, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on interest rates currently available for debt issuances with similar terms and maturities. At June 30, 2026, the Company had
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets, are accounted for at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These items are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event or in the case of goodwill, on at least an annual basis. Based on the Company's assessment, it was concluded that no triggering events occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or June 30, 2025.

The balance of accrued restructuring costs at June 30, 2026 is primarily related to remaining liabilities associated with the Company's facility consolidation project in China where multiple Industrial Technology & Data Solutions manufacturing sites were consolidated.
| 9. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
Our primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, when deemed appropriate. We enter into these contracts in the normal course of business to mitigate risks and generally not for speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
Under our risk management strategy, we periodically use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our short-term exposures to fluctuations in operational cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These cash flow exposures result from portions of our forecasted operating expenses, primarily compensation and related expenses, which are transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, most notably the Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso and Israeli shekel. These foreign currency forward contracts generally have maturities of no longer than twelve months, although occasionally we will execute a contract that extends beyond twelve months, depending upon the nature of the underlying risk.
We held outstanding foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
To partially mitigate risks associated with the variable interest rates on the revolver borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as defined and described in Note 10, "Debt", below), in November 2021, we executed a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with each of two multinational financial institutions under which we (i) pay interest at a fixed rate of
The 2021 Swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and as such, changes in their fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheet and are reclassified into the statement of operations within interest expense in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Fair Values of Derivative Financial Instruments
See Note 5, "Fair Value Measurements" for the gross fair values of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Derivative Financial Instruments in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
The effects of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) and on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

On June 4, 2026, the Company entered into a Limited Consent and Fifth Amendment Agreement to the CSA, which, among other things, (i) provided a one-time limited consent related to certain hedge agreements and (ii) eliminated the requirement to maintain control agreements over the deposit accounts and securities accounts of any Company.
At June 30, 2026, the Company had
As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s borrowings consisted of (i) a $
Deferred financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining or modifying recognized debt obligations are capitalized and presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. These deferred costs are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the related debt using the effective interest method or a method that approximates the effective interest method.
The CSA contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default. In addition, the CSA contains financial covenants that measure (i) the ratio of the Company’s total funded indebtedness, on a consolidated basis, less the aggregate amount of all unencumbered cash and cash equivalents, to the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA, in each case as defined and calculated in accordance with the CSA, and (ii) the ratio of the amount of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA to the Company’s consolidated fixed charges (or the “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”), in each case as defined and calculated in accordance with the CSA. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the CSA would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due thereunder and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.
At June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including its most restrictive covenant, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.
| 11. | INCOME TAXES |
The Company does not measure income tax expense for interim periods using the annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) method, as its estimated taxable income for future periods is not determined on a legal entity basis. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2022 and state examinations for years before 2019. For foreign subsidiaries, the Company is no longer subject to examination for years before 2016 in Asia and generally 2018 in Europe.
The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the tax year 2024. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of potential changes at this time because the examination is in its early stages and the outcome depends on future developments, including the IRS’s final positions and timing of any resolution.
In June 2026, the Company received communication from local tax authorities regarding our Guangxi, China factory disputing the deduction of certain service fee expenses relating to intercompany services provided by our Dongguan, China factory. We are in the process of responding to the relevant tax authorities and assessing potential exposure, which we do not expect to be material.
Due to the expiration of the statutes of limitations for certain jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change materially from those recorded at June 30, 2026. Liabilities for uncertain tax positions totaled $
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $
| 12. | RETIREMENT, SAVINGS AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS |
The Company maintains the Bel Fuse Inc. Employees’ Savings Plan, a defined contribution plan that is intended to meet the applicable requirements for tax-qualification under sections 401(a) and (k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 amounted to $
The Company also maintains a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DCP"). With certain exceptions, the Company's contributions to the DCP are discretionary and become fully vested by the participants upon reaching age
The Company’s subsidiaries in Asia maintain a retirement fund that covers substantially all Hong Kong-based full-time employees. Retirement fund expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 amounted to less than $
The Company maintains a SERP, which is designed to provide a limited group of key management and other key employees of the Company with supplemental retirement and death benefits. As discussed in Note 5, "Fair Value Measurements", above, the Company has investments in a rabbi trust which are intended to fund the obligations of the SERP.
The components of SERP expense are as follows:

| 15. | SEGMENTS |
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company implemented a change in its internal organizational and reporting structure to better align management reporting with customer end markets. As a result, effective March 31, 2026, the Company updated the reportable segment view used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and allocate resources. The CODM has not changed.
Following this change, the Company has two reportable segments: (i) Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions and (ii) Industrial Technology & Data Solutions. Prior‑period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Accordingly, prior-year segment amounts have been recast for comparability to conform to the current period presentation. The Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions segment primarily includes the Company’s legacy Connectivity Solutions business and Enercon operations. The Industrial Technology & Data Solutions segment primarily includes the Company’s legacy Power Solutions and Protection and Magnetic Solutions operations. These segment descriptions reflect how results are reviewed by the CODM.
There are no intercompany sales between segments.
On a quarterly basis, the Company’s CODM evaluates segment performance using gross profit (a U.S. GAAP measure), which the Company has determined to be its measure of segment profit or loss under ASC 280, as amended by ASU 2023-07. The CODM uses segment gross profit to make commercial and operational decisions and to evaluate capital deployment opportunities. The CODM’s quarterly reporting package also includes segment revenues and cost of sales to arrive at gross profit; cost of sales is a significant segment expense and is therefore included in the segment financial data tables below.

Overview
Our Company
We design, manufacture, and market critical electronic components, systems and solutions for customers in aerospace, defense, industrial, and data-driven markets. Understanding that our customers face increasingly complex technical challenges, Bel delivers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions including power systems, high-reliability connectors and cable assemblies, circuit protection, and networking products that enable Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to bring their innovations to market. Bel partners closely with customers to deliver both customized and standard solutions tailored to their specific applications and performance requirements. With manufacturing facilities and technical support teams worldwide, Bel serves as a strategic partner to customers who require proven reliability in demanding end markets.
Effective March 31, 2026, we realigned our organizational and reporting structure and changed the reportable segment views used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate operating performance and allocate resources. As a result, we now operate and report results through the following two reportable segments:
| ● |
Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions, which serves customers in aerospace, defense, space, and other ruggedized applications; and |
|
| ● |
Industrial Technology & Data Solutions, which serves customers in industrial, networking, and data infrastructure markets. |
Our product portfolio includes power solutions, connectors and cable assemblies, circuit protection devices, and networking products. We sell standard products and provide customized solutions to meet customer specifications. We maintain manufacturing operations and engineering support capabilities in multiple geographic regions and sell our products globally. We did not incur material restructuring charges as a result of this realignment.
For comparability, prior‑period segment information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
In the six months ended June 30, 2026, 54% of our revenues were derived from Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions and 46% from Industrial Technology & Data Solutions.
Our operating expenses are driven principally by the cost of labor where the factories that we use are located, the cost of the materials that we use and our ability to effectively and efficiently manage overhead costs. As labor and material costs vary by product line and region, any significant shift in product mix can have an associated impact on our costs of sales. Costs are recorded as incurred for all products manufactured. Such amounts are determined based upon the estimated stage of production and include materials, labor cost and fringes and related allocations of factory overhead. Our products are manufactured at various facilities in the United States, Mexico, Dominican Republic, United Kingdom, Slovakia, Israel, India and the People’s Republic of China.
We have little visibility into the ordering habits of our customers and we can be subjected to large and unpredictable variations in demand for our products. Accordingly, we must continually recruit and train new workers to replace those lost to attrition and be able to address peaks in demand that may occur from time to time. These recruiting and training efforts and related inefficiencies, and overtime required in order to meet any increase in demand, can add volatility to the labor costs incurred by us.
Key Factors Affecting our Business
We believe that in addition to recent global tariffs and inflationary pressures on the costs of goods and services in general, as well as ongoing conflicts/political unrest including in or near the countries in which Bel operates, the key factors affecting and/or potentially affecting our results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and/or future results include the following:
| • |
Acquisition of dataMate – In March 2026, we acquired dataMate, as further disclosed in Note 2, "Acquisitions." As a result, our Industrial Technology & Data Solutions segment will include dataMate’s net sales and results of operations from the date of acquisition. dataMate provides Ethernet and broadband connectivity solutions, and its results of operations may vary based on factors such as demand in industrial networking and data infrastructure markets, customer purchasing patterns, and general market conditions. |
| • |
Backlog – Our backlog of orders amounted to $594.7 million at June 30, 2026, an increase of $155.6 million, or 35.4%, from December 31, 2025. From December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026, we experienced a 22.2% increase in backlog within our Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions segment and a 56.0% increase within our Industrial Technology & Data Solutions segment. Factors that could cause us to fail to ship all such orders include unanticipated supply difficulties, changes in customer demand, and new customer designs. Due to these factors, backlog may not be a reliable indicator of the timing or amount of future sales. |
| • |
Product Mix – Material and labor costs vary by product line, and any significant shift in product mix between higher- and lower-margin products will have a corresponding impact on our gross margin. In general, products within our Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions segment have historically generated higher contribution margins due to a product mix that serves harsh-environment and high-reliability applications and end markets, which may be partially offset by higher-cost bills of materials. Our Industrial Technology & Data Solutions segment includes products that have historically generated strong contribution margins, as well as products that are more labor-intensive and therefore may be more sensitive to wage rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations, including movements between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese renminbi. Fluctuations in revenue volume and product mix between our reportable segments and product lines will have a corresponding impact on our profit margins. See "Results of Operations - Summary by Operating Segment - Revenue and Gross Margin." |
| • |
Pricing and Availability of Materials – Prices for commodities that are key inputs to our products, including gold (Au), silver (Ag) and copper (Cu), have increased as market prices for these metals have risen. In addition, lead times for certain integrated circuits (“ICs”) have increased, which we believe is driven in part by demand related to AI-enabled applications and the supporting infrastructure. Regulatory developments, including trade restrictions and other measures affecting suppliers in the PRC, have previously disrupted, and could in the future disrupt, our supply chain. These disruptions could result in limited access to certain components or suppliers, increased costs, extended lead times, shortages, or other adverse impacts on our business and results of operations. Additionally, tariffs or other duties imposed by the U.S. or foreign governments on imports or exports could increase our costs, reduce margins, or require price increases, which could in turn reduce customer demand. See "Global Tariffs" below. |
| •
|
Global Tariffs – On April 5, 2025, the U.S. government announced the implementation of reciprocal tariffs on imports into the United States from certain countries in which our manufacturing facilities and/or suppliers are located. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its decision in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, holding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the imposition of tariffs. While this decision invalidated certain tariffs previously imposed under IEEPA, the broader implications of the ruling remain uncertain. We continue to monitor developments in U.S. trade policy, including potential legislative or executive actions that could result in the imposition of tariffs under alternative statutory authorities. Imports into the United States from Mexico are currently exempt from tariffs under the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (“USMCA”), as currently in force. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, tariffs did not have a material impact on our results of operations. We continue to monitor potential impacts from changes in trade policy and may implement mitigation actions, including supply chain adjustments and pricing actions, as appropriate. We will also monitor, and may in the future consider to the extent appropriate, possible tariff refund claims, whether via the process administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) or in other fora. The imposition or reinstatement of tariffs on imports into the United States could increase costs, disrupt supply chains, and/or reduce demand for our products, all or any of which could adversely affect future results of operations, including net sales and gross margins. |
| • |
Labor Costs – Labor costs represented 7.4% of revenue during the first six months of 2026, as compared to 8.1% for the same period of 2025. The decrease primarily reflects operating leverage on higher sales volumes (net sales increased 21.4%), automation-driven productivity improvements, and the late-2025 transition of certain manufacturing activities from the Company’s Pingguo, PRC facility to an outside subcontractor, which shifted a portion of costs from direct labor to materials. |
| • | Inflationary Pressures - Inflationary pressures could continue to result in higher input costs, including those related to our raw materials, labor, freight, utilities, healthcare and other expenses. Our future operating results will depend, in part, on our continued ability to manage these fluctuations through pricing actions, cost savings initiatives and sourcing decisions. A surge in demand driven by AI data center buildouts has contributed to higher prices and extended lead times for certain components, including printed circuit boards (PCBs), semiconductors, and capacitors. Additionally, the armed conflict involving Iran and the Gulf states was the primary driver of the increased energy prices and resulting inflation in our various regions of operations in the first quarter of 2026. The conflict led, and to the extent it continues materially, may continue to lead, to, among other things, increased volatility and higher prices for commodities, such as energy products and freight on input material costs, increased inflation in various countries where we and/or our suppliers or customers operate, and disruptions to global trade and supply chains, including key energy transit routes. Actual or threatened disruptions to maritime shipping lanes and other escalating security tensions also increased insurance, financing and transportation costs. While the impact on us has not been material, continued hostilities could have a material adverse effect in future periods. |
| • |
Impact of Foreign Currency – During the six months ended June 30, 2026, labor and overhead costs increased by approximately $5.3 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates involving the Israeli shekel, the Chinese renminbi, the euro, and the Mexican peso. Specifically, the appreciation of the Israeli shekel, Chinese renminbi and euro against the U.S. dollar resulted in higher labor and overhead costs of $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We recognized a foreign exchange transactional loss of $1.4 million during this period, mainly due to currency spot rate fluctuations when translating balance sheet accounts as of June 30, 2026, versus December 31, 2025. As a U.S.-domiciled company, our foreign currency-denominated financial results are translated into U.S. dollars, and exchange rate fluctuations can impact our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. We continuously monitor foreign currency movements and may utilize forward contracts or implement pricing actions to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on our operating results. |
| • |
Effective Tax Rate – Our effective tax rate will fluctuate based on the geographic regions in which our pretax profits are earned. Of the geographic regions in which we operate, the U.S. and Europe’s tax rates are generally comparable while Asia has the lowest tax rates of our three geographical regions. See Note 11, “Income Taxes.” |

Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions:
Net sales increased by $18.6 million, or 20.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes, led by defense and rugged industrial applications. Defense sales increased by $14.7 million, or 28.4%, industrial sales increased by $7.5 million, or 51.4%, offset by decrease in commercial air sales by $3.6 million, or 14.1%, each compared to the prior-year period.
Net sales increased by $35.3 million, or 20.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales in defense applications, which increased by $24.1 million, or 23.7%, and higher sales in industrial applications, which increased by $10.6 million, or 37.9%. Commercial air sales increased by $0.6 million, or 1.4%, compared to the prior-year period.
Gross margin for the 2026 periods was favorably impacted primarily by a more favorable product mix and improved operational efficiencies. These favorable impacts were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Israeli shekel and the Mexican peso, which adversely affected costs in certain manufacturing locations. The year-over-year change in gross margin differed between the quarterly and year-to-date periods as the favorable impacts noted above were more evident on a year-to-date basis, while unfavorable foreign currency impacts and period-to-period mix variability were more pronounced in the current quarter.
Industrial Technology & Data Solutions
Net sales increased by $23.8 million, or 31.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in Data Solutions, partially offset by lower sales in Transportation. Data Solutions sales increased by $20.7 million, or 54.4%, and Industrial sales increased by $3.5 million, or 12.1%, each compared to the prior-year period. Transportation sales decreased by $0.4 million, or 4.3%, compared to the prior-year period.
Net sales increased by $33.3 million, or 22.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales in Data Solutions and Industrial, partially offset by lower sales in Transportation. Data Solutions sales increased by $30.3 million, or 43.4%, and Industrial sales increased by $7.6 million, or 14.2%, each compared to the prior-year period. Transportation sales decreased by $4.6 million, or 20.6%, compared to the prior-year period.
Gross margin for the 2026 periods was favorably impacted primarily by a more favorable product mix and improved operational efficiencies, including benefits from higher volumes and improved factory utilization. These favorable impacts were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Chinese renminbi, and euro, which increased costs in certain manufacturing locations. The increase in gross margin was more pronounced in the current quarter than on a year-to-date basis, as the benefits from mix and operational efficiencies were stronger in the quarter, while the year-to-date period includes earlier period results with comparatively lower margins.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 consisted of the following:

The increase in material costs as a percentage of net sales in the 2026 periods was primarily due to an unfavorable product and production mix, driven by higher sales volumes in offerings with higher bill-of-material (“BOM”) content, including power products, within the Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions and Industrial Technology & Data Solutions segments. These products generally have a greater proportion of purchased components and raw materials relative to labor and overhead, which increased material costs as a percentage of net sales.
Material costs were also impacted by higher purchasing levels associated with increased volumes and higher unit input costs in certain commodities and electronic components, including select supplier price increases. In addition, the Company’s evolving manufacturing footprint, including the increased use of third-party manufacturing for certain products previously produced in-house at the Pingguo facility, shifted certain costs from labor and overhead to purchased materials, contributing to higher material costs as a percentage of net sales. While the Company took pricing actions and continued sourcing and cost-reduction initiatives, these measures partially offset, but did not fully mitigate, the effects of mix and higher input costs in the periods presented.
The decrease in labor costs as a percentage of net sales in the 2026 periods was driven by a shift in the Company’s production and sourcing mix, including an increased use of third-party manufacturing for certain products previously produced in-house (including at the Pingguo facility). As a result, certain costs that had historically been reflected in internal direct labor are now reflected in material content, reducing labor costs as a percentage of net sales. In addition, higher sales volumes supported improved operating efficiency and labor utilization across the manufacturing footprint, which further contributed to the decrease in labor costs as a percentage of net sales. These favorable impacts were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency movements, including the Israeli shekel and the Chinese renminbi, which increased labor-related costs in certain manufacturing locations when translated into U.S. dollars.
Other expenses (overhead and other manufacturing costs) were $42.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $36.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $5.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other expenses were $82.9 million, compared to $72.3 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $10.6 million. Other expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased year over year, reflecting higher net sales and increased absorption of fixed and semi-fixed manufacturing overhead. The year-over-year increase in other expenses reflects higher indirect/support labor and related benefits, other overhead, and repairs and maintenance, consistent with increased manufacturing activity and support requirements. These increases were partially offset by lower insurance and rental costs. Depreciation and amortization were generally consistent period over period, and utilities were relatively stable.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development (R&D) expenses totaled $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $0.9 million from $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher R&D personnel costs. The increase in R&D expense was broad-based across both Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions and Industrial Technology & Data Solutions.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, R&D expenses totaled $17.5 million, an increase of $2.2 million from $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher R&D personnel costs, including labor and fringe benefits and bonus expense under the Company’s company-wide incentive program, and was broad-based across both Aerospace, Defense & Rugged Solutions and Industrial Technology & Data Solutions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, sales, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $36.3 million, an increase of $5.4 million from $30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by $3.0 million of higher salaries and benefits (including $1.5 million higher salaries, $1.0 million higher benefits/medical, and $0.5 million higher recruiting and relocation), $1.6 million of higher professional, audit and legal fees, and $0.5 million higher travel and entertainment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, SG&A expenses were $73.0 million, an increase of $12.6 million from $60.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits and higher professional, audit and legal fees. Salaries and benefits increased by $6.9 million, reflecting higher compensation and benefit costs, including annual salary increases effective March 1, 2026, as well as onboarding and overlapping salary and benefit costs related to the CEO and segment president positions. Professional, audit and legal fees increased by $3.6 million, primarily reflecting costs associated with the acquisition of dataMate and higher external professional spend, including overlapping audit fees. The increase also reflected higher travel and entertainment, and commissions. Bonus expense was also higher in 2026, including $1.3 million in the first half of 2026 due to a bonus reversal recorded in the first quarter of 2025 that did not recur.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $2.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Revolver during the 2026 period compared to the prior-year period. In particular, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver at June 30, 2026, compared to interest incurred in the prior-year quarter on higher Revolver borrowings. Interest expense for the period also includes the effects of the Company’s 2021 interest rate swaps and amortization of deferred financing costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest expense was $4.3 million, compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $3.8 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower average borrowings under the Credit and Security Agreement during the first half of 2026 as the Company reduced and ultimately repaid amounts outstanding under the Revolver, which had $197.5 million outstanding at December 31, 2025. Interest expense for both periods includes the impact of the 2021 swaps and amortization of deferred financing costs.
For further information on the Company's outstanding debt, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below and Note 10, "Debt."
Interest Income
Interest income was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.0 million, primarily due to higher average cash balances. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest income was $1.4 million versus $0.5 million in 2025, an increase of $0.9 million, also primarily due to higher average cash balances.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
Other (expense) income, net was other expense, net of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to other income, net of $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an unfavorable change of $7.7 million, primarily due to foreign exchange, which shifted to a $1.4 million loss in 2026 from a $7.6 million gain in 2025 driven by exchange-rate movements on foreign currency-denominated balances. SERP investments resulted in a gain of $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2026 versus a gain of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to market fluctuations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other expense, net was $3.6 million versus other income, net of $10.2 million in the prior-year period, an unfavorable change of $13.8 million, primarily reflecting foreign exchange, which shifted to a $4.5 million loss from an $11.8 million gain. SERP investments resulted in a gain of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 versus a gain of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate will fluctuate based on the geographic regions in which the pretax profits are earned. Tax rates in the U.S. and Europe are generally comparable, while Asia generally has lower statutory tax rates. See Note 11, “Income Taxes”.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for income taxes was $3.8 million, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2025. Earnings before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2026, increased by $4.1 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher income from the North America and Asia regions, partially offset by a decrease in income from the Europe region. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was 10.0%, compared to 20.5% for the same period in 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by a benefit from restricted stock vesting and the reversal of uncertain tax positions due to statute expirations, as well as deferred tax benefit arising from a rate increase in a foreign deferred tax asset. See Note 11, “Income Taxes.”
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the provision for income taxes was $6.6 million, compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2025. Earnings before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2026, decreased by $1.9 million compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower income from the Europe region, partially offset by an increase in income from the North America region. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was 11.9% compared to 21.5% for the same period in 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate was attributable to the same factors noted above. See Note 11, “Income Taxes”.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity include $306.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities, proceeds from securities offerings and borrowings available under our credit facility. We expect to use this liquidity for operating expenses, investments in working capital, capital expenditures, interest, taxes, lease and purchase obligations, pension benefit obligations, dividends, and debt obligations and other long-term liabilities. Our liquidity may also be utilized for purchases of common stock under our Repurchase Program, fund potential acquisitions in future periods, as well as potential future cash requirements related to the Enercon acquisition, including the potential 2026 Earnout Payment that may become due and the put-call options under the Enercon shareholders’ agreement, pursuant to which Bel has the current intention to purchase the remaining 20% interest by early 2027. See the discussion “Liquidity and Capital Resources” appearing in Item 7, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We believe that our current liquidity position and future cash flows from operations will enable us to fund our operations, both in the next twelve months and in the longer term.
Cash Flow Summary
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $248.3 million. This increase was primarily due to the following:
| • | net cash provided by operating activities of $31.8 million; | |
| • | proceeds from our underwritten offering of common stock of $441.6 million, $197.5 million of which was used to repay long-term debt; | |
| • | a payment for the acquisition of dataMate of $15.2 million; | |
| • | purchases of property, plant and equipment of $4.9 million; | |
| • | dividend payment to noncontrolling interest of $2.7 million; and | |
| • | dividend payments to Bel shareholders of $1.7 million |
Operating cash flow benefited from higher net earnings and higher non-cash adjustments, including stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and foreign currency revaluation losses, partially offset by a higher deferred tax benefit. Working capital was a net use of cash, primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable of $32.1 million and inventories of $32.2 million, reflecting higher sales levels and purchasing activity. These uses of cash were partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $33.1 million, primarily due to higher purchasing activity and the timing of vendor payments. DSO was 67 days at June 30, 2026 compared to 64 days at December 31, 2025, primarily due to the timing of billings and customer collections. The Company continues to focus on disciplined receivables management and cash conversion.
The increase in inventories was primarily driven by higher levels of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods to support customer demand and manage lead times. In addition, higher material costs increased the dollar value of on-hand inventory. Consistent with these higher inventory levels, inventory turns were 2.2 at June 30, 2026 compared to 2.5 at December 31, 2025.
Other working capital changes included decreases in accrued expenses of $4.3 million and accrued restructuring costs of $0.5 million, primarily reflecting cash payments and the timing of settlement of previously accrued obligations. Income taxes payable increased by $1.7 million, primarily due to the timing of tax payments. Changes in other operating assets also impacted operating cash flows, including an increase in other current assets of $0.6 million and an increase in other assets of $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $236.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Financing cash flows were primarily driven by $441.6 million of net proceeds from the Company’s May 2026 underwritten public offering of 1,725,000 shares of Class B common stock (including shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option).
The Company utilized the net proceeds from the offering to pay down $197.5 million of the long-term debt under its Credit and Security Agreement, and intends to use the remaining net proceeds to fund the remaining 20% acquisition of Enercon or pursue other acquisitions or partnership opportunities that may arise, and the remainder, if any, for general corporate purposes.
Cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable, in the aggregate, comprised approximately 36.5% of total assets as of June 30, 2026, compared to 19.2% as of December 31, 2025. The Company’s current ratio was 4.5 to 1 as of June 30, 2026 compared to 3.0 to 1 as of December 31, 2025.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $36.3 million and $43.4 million, respectively (representing 12% and 75%, respectively), of cash and cash equivalents was held by foreign subsidiaries. The Company repatriated $11.8 million of funds from outside of the U.S. during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company continues to evaluate its global working capital and cash requirements and the potential tax costs associated with additional repatriations. The Company has not made a determination regarding additional repatriations to fund U.S. operations. If these funds were needed in the U.S., the Company could be required to incur U.S. state taxes and any applicable foreign withholding taxes in connection with repatriation.
Future Cash Requirements
We expect foreseeable liquidity and capital resource requirements in the ordinary course to be met through existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations, as well as borrowings available under our revolving credit facility, if needed. Our material cash requirements arising in the normal course of business are outlined in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There were no material changes to our future cash requirements during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Revolver and had $400 million of unused borrowing capacity. See Note 10, "Debt." The Revolver matures on September 1, 2028. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants, including the most restrictive covenant, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.
Interest expense and related cash payments under the Revolver will vary based on amounts borrowed and applicable interest rates. Because there were no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2026, the Company does not currently expect material interest payments related to revolving borrowings for the remainder of 2026.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include certain amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, including in some cases future projections, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates 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. Different assumptions and judgments could change the estimates used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.
Based on the above, we have determined that our most critical accounting estimates are those related to business combinations, inventory valuation, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, and those related to our pension benefit obligations. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates, refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates, including assumptions or estimation techniques utilized, as compared to those disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The discussion of new financial accounting standards applicable to our Company is incorporated herein by reference to Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies”.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates associated with its long-term debt and fluctuations in commodity prices. Under the Company’s risk management strategy, the Company periodically uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its short-term exposures to fluctuations in operational cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To partially mitigate risks associated with the variable interest rates on Revolver borrowings, to the extent of any outstanding, under the Company's Credit Agreement (see Note 10, “Debt”, to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein, and Note 11, “Debt”, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025), the Company maintains two pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreements with two multinational financial institutions (see Note 9, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein, and Note 13, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025). The Company’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, when deemed appropriate. The Company enters into these contracts in the normal course of business to mitigate risks and not for speculative purposes. The Company utilizes various metals in the production of its products, including copper, zinc, tin, gold, and silver. Fluctuations in the prices of these and other commodities can lead to significantly higher production costs. The Company believes it has adequate primary and secondary sources for each of its key materials. While facing potential volatility in metal prices and anticipating increased material costs, the Company actively monitors these risks. To mitigate any possible negative impacts from these changes, it has implemented and may continue to implement various strategies, including price adjustments and productivity improvements. There have not been any material changes with regard to market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2026. See Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” herein, and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for further discussion of market risks.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures: As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting: There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The information called for by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 14, "Commitments and Contingencies" of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, under “Legal Proceedings”, as set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are also involved in various other legal actions incidental to our business. In the Company’s opinion, it has made appropriate and adequate accruals for claims, if any, where necessary; however, the ultimate liability for legal proceedings is uncertain, and if significantly different than the amounts accrued, if any, the ultimate outcome could have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation matters or other actions nor when they will be resolved.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our risk factors are disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and should be carefully considered before making an investment decision. These are the risk factors that we consider to be the most significant risk factors, but they are not the only risk factors that should be considered in making an investment decision. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains Forward-Looking Statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See the "Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Information," above.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2026 that were not previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Use of Proceeds
Not applicable.
Purchasers of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
On February 21, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and the Company publicly announced, a $25.0 million share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program authorizes the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of shares of outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The aggregate $25.0 million authorized for repurchases under the Repurchase Program has been suballocated for purchases of Class A shares and Class B shares in portions of $4.0 million and $21.0 million, respectively, prorated to take into account the number of outstanding shares of each respective class at the time of such authorization. Shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program in open market, privately negotiated or block transactions or otherwise from time to time, depending upon market conditions and other factors, and in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares, and the Repurchase Program may be suspended or terminated at any time. As of June 30, 2026 the program-to-date repurchases amounted to 26,326 Class A shares at an aggregate purchase price of $1.9 million and 235,821 Class B shares at an aggregate purchase price of $14.1 million. There were no repurchases of our equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2026 under the Repurchase Program or otherwise. Under the existing authorization for the Repurchase Program described above, of the aggregate amount initially authorized for repurchases, approximately $2.1 million of Class A Common Stock and $6.9 million of Class B Common Stock remain that may yet be purchased under this program as of June 30, 2026.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
Not applicable.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
