(together with its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified or suggested by the context, the “Company,” “Onto Innovation,” “we,” “our” or “us”) and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to current-period presentation. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ materially from reported amounts. The interim results for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2025. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 28, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
The Company operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Our fiscal year ending January 3, 2026 (“fiscal year 2025”) is a 53-week fiscal year. The first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2025 ended on March 29, 2025, the second quarter ended on June 28, 2025 and the third quarter ends on September 27, 2025. Our fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 was a 52-week fiscal year. The second quarter of the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024 ended on June 29, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates made by management include excess and obsolete inventory, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, recoverability and useful lives of property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, recoverability of goodwill, recoverability of deferred tax assets, allowance for credit losses, liabilities for product warranty, share-based payments and liabilities for tax uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors which the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company may engage third-party valuation specialists to assist with estimates related to the valuation of financial instruments, assets and stock awards associated with various contractual arrangements. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and significant judgment. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or circumstances and such differences could be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in the 2024 Form 10-K, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

NOTE 3. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and valuations as provided by third-party sources. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company applies a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables provide the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis at June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024:

The Company has evaluated its investment policies and determined that all of its marketable securities, which are comprised of debt securities, are to be classified as available-for-sale. The Company’s available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in Stockholders’ equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” Gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in “Other (expense) income, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material during the three and six-months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024. The Company records credit losses for its available-for-sale debt securities when it intends to sell the securities, it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before a recovery, or when it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The Company has determined that the gross unrealized losses on its marketable securities at June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024 are temporary in nature. The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate marketable securities that have indications of possible impairment from credit losses or other factors. Factors considered in determining whether an unrealized loss is considered to be a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, credit quality and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair value and gross unrealized holding losses of marketable securities, aggregated by investment instrument and period of time in an unrealized loss position, at June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024:

NOTE 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company, when it considers it to be appropriate, enters into forward contracts to hedge the economic exposures arising from foreign currency denominated transactions. At June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, these contracts were denominated in euro, Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen, Korean won, Singapore dollars, and Taiwanese dollars. Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore, the change in fair value is recorded in “Other (expense) income, net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company records its forward contracts at fair value in either “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The dollar equivalent of the U.S. dollar forward contracts and related fair values as of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

NOTE 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Intellectual Property Indemnification Obligations
The Company has entered into agreements with customers that include limited intellectual property indemnification obligations that are customary in the industry. These agreements generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third-party intellectual property claims. The nature of the intellectual property indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay to its customers. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any potential liabilities resulting from any current disputes would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Line of Credit
The Company has a credit agreement with a bank that provides for a variable-rate line of credit which is secured by the marketable securities the Company has with the bank. The Company is permitted to borrow up to

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets consist of amounts we have not invoiced but have completed the related performance obligation. These amounts generally arise from variances between the contractual payment terms and the transaction price assigned to the open performance obligations (e.g., we have recognized revenue in an amount greater than the amount that is billable under the contract). The contract assets amounts are recorded in “Accounts receivable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company had contract assets of $
The Company records contract liabilities when the customer has been billed in advance of the Company completing its performance obligations primarily with respect to liabilities related to service contracts and installation. For contracts that have a duration of one year or less, these amounts are recorded as “Deferred revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For contracts with a duration longer than one year, these amounts are recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 28, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company carried a long-term deferred revenue balance of $

The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 was computed based on the Company’s annual forecast of profit by jurisdiction and forecasted effective tax rate for the year. The increase in the Company’s income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 as compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 was primarily due to fewer excess benefits associated with equity compensation. The Company’s recorded effective tax rate for the periods presented is less than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to projected Foreign Derived Intangible Income deductions, federal research and development tax credits, and excess tax benefits associated with equity compensation.
The Company currently has a partial valuation allowance recorded against certain foreign and state net operating loss and credit carryforwards where the unrealizability of such deferred tax assets is more likely than not. Each quarter, the Company assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers available evidence, both positive and negative, including forecasted earnings, in assessing its need for a valuation allowance. As a result of the Company’s analysis, it concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. The Company continues to monitor available evidence and may reverse some or all of its remaining valuation allowance in future periods, if appropriate. The Company has a recorded valuation allowance against a certain portion of its deferred tax assets of $
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has been working on a Base Erosion and Profits Shifting (“BEPS”) project that would change various aspects of the existing framework under which the Company’s tax obligations are determined in many of the countries in which we operate. As part of the BEPS project, the OECD issued policies aimed to modernize global tax systems, including a country-by-country 15% minimum effective tax rate (“Pillar Two”) for multinational companies. Numerous countries have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation to implement the Pillar Two model rules with a subset of the rules becoming effective during the current year, and the remaining rules becoming effective in later periods. At this point in time, the Company does not expect any material tax impact associated with Pillar Two rules in the countries where it operates. As these rules continue to evolve with new legislation and guidance, the Company will continue to monitor and account for the enactment of Pillar Two and the potential impacts such rules may have on its effective tax rate and cash flows in future years.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic United States research and development expenses, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign

operations. As a result of the enactment of the legislation, the Company expects an increase to tax expense during the third and fourth quarters of 2025, primarily related to changes in the taxation of profits derived from foreign operations, and more specifically, the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. The Company continues to evaluate the impact the new legislation will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, as the assessment is ongoing, the Company is not able to quantify the impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements at this time.
NOTE 13. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Restricted stock units, employee stock purchase grants and stock options are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Certain of these uncertainties are discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 25, 2025 in the Items entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates from the information presented in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
For more information, please see our critical accounting estimates as previously disclosed in the 2024 Form 10-K and recent accounting pronouncements discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance increased to $894.9 million at June 28, 2025, compared to $852.3 million at December 28, 2024. This increase was primarily the result of $149.9 million of cash generated from operating activities and $4.2 million of cash from issuance of shares through share-based compensation plans, partially offset by cash used for purchases of our common stock of $75.0 million, capital expenditures of $22.0 million, $12.4 million for tax payments related to net share settlement of employee stock-based compensation plans and purchases of non-marketable equity securities of $8.0 million. Employee headcount at June 28, 2025 was approximately 1,589.
On June 27, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all the outstanding membership interests of Semilab USA from Semilab International Zrt. (“Semilab”), for $475.0 million in cash (subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments) and 706,215 shares of our common stock. Based on the closing price of Onto Innovation’s common stock on June 27, 2025, the total transaction value is approximately $545.0 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including U.S. and Hungarian regulatory approvals. See Note 2, “Acquisitions,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.
The United States government has implemented export regulations for U.S. semiconductor technology sold or provided to customers in China, which have limited our ability to provide certain products and services to customers in China, over the past several years. The U.S. government continues to issue new export licensing requirements, and additional updates and other requirements that have had the effect of further limiting our ability to provide certain products and services to customers outside the U.S., including in China.

The recent imposition of tariffs by the U.S. government, and countermeasures taken by foreign countries, has had and will likely continue to have an adverse impact on our business in the near-term. The full extent of the impact is currently uncertain and will depend both on future developments in global trade policy and the extent to which our efforts to mitigate tariffs impacts are successful. We are continuously assessing the impact of tariffs and related governmental actions on our business.
For a discussion of the risks related to our business and operations, see Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of the 2024 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A – Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q.
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024
Revenue. Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of our systems, software licensing, services and spare parts. Our revenue of $253.6 million increased 4.7% for the three months ended June 28, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 29, 2024, for which revenue totaled $242.3 million. For the six-months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, our revenue totaled $520.2 million and $471.2 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 10.4%.

Total systems and software revenue increased $4.1 million and $40.4 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2024. The increases for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 were primarily attributable to higher sales to DRAM and NAND customers in the advanced node market, partially offset by decreased sales to DRAM, power and logic customers in the specialty device and advanced packaging market. The increase in total parts and services revenue for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, as compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, was primarily due to higher parts sales as well as system upgrade and service contract revenue.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit has been and will likely continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including manufacturing efficiencies, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing by competitors or suppliers, new product introductions, production volume, customization and reconfiguration of systems, international and domestic sales mix, system and software product mix and parts and service margins.

The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 as compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2024 was primarily due to restructuring and other expenses for the write down of excess and obsolete inventory.

Operating Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist of:
Interest income, net. Net interest income was $8.6 million and $17.9 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2025, respectively, as compared to $8.5 million and $15.9 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 29, 2024, respectively. The increases in net interest income for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2025, as compared to the three and six-month periods ended June 29, 2024, were due to higher cash and marketable securities balances, partially offset by lower interest rates during the 2025 period.
Other (expense) income, net. Other expense, net was $1.1 million for the three-month period ended June 28, 2025, as compared to other expense, net of $0.1 million for the three-month period ended June 29, 2024. Other expense, net was $1.9 million for the six-month period ended June 28, 2025, as compared to other income, net of $0.7 million for the six-month period

Table of Contents
ended June 29, 2024 Foreign exchange losses during the 2025 period versus foreign exchange gains in the 2024 period were the primary drivers contributing to the period over period changes.
Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax provision of $5.8 million and $13.4 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2025, respectively, as compared to $4.3 million and $8.4 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate of 14.7% and 12.0% for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2025, respectively, each differed from the statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to (i) research and development tax credits, (ii) the deduction related to foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), and (iii) excess tax benefits associated with equity compensation. Our effective tax rate of 7.5% and 7.7% for the three and six-month periods ended June 29, 2024, respectively, each differed from the statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to (i) research and development tax credits, (ii) the deduction related to FDII, and (iii) excess tax benefits associated with equity compensation.
Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as possible changes in tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income, the amount of our pre-tax income as business activities fluctuate, non-deductible expenses incurred in connection with business combinations, and research and development tax credits as a percentage of aggregate pre-tax income.
We currently have a partial valuation allowance recorded for certain foreign and state loss and credit carryforwards where the realizability of such deferred tax assets is substantially in doubt. Each quarter we assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets primarily relating to state research and development credits. We consider available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. As a result of our analysis, we concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of our net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, we continue to provide a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets. We continue to monitor available evidence and may reverse some or all of the valuation allowance in future periods, if appropriate.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has been working on a Base Erosion and Profits Shifting project that, upon implementation, would change various aspects of the existing framework under which our tax obligations are determined in many of the countries in which we operate. In this regard, the OECD has proposed policies aiming to modernize global tax systems, including a country-by-country 15% minimum effective tax rate (“Pillar Two”) for multinational companies. Numerous countries have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation to implement the Pillar Two model rules with a subset of the rules becoming effective during the current year, and the remaining rules becoming effective in later periods. At this point in time, we do not expect any material tax impact associated with Pillar Two rules in the countries where we operate. As these rules continue to evolve with new legislation and guidance, we will continue to monitor and account for the enactment of Pillar Two and the potential impacts such rules may have on our effective tax rate and cash flows in future years.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic United States research and development expenses, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. As a result of the enactment of the legislation, we expect an increase to tax expense during the third and fourth quarters of 2025, primarily related to changes in the taxation of profits derived from foreign operations, and more specifically, the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. We continue to evaluate the impact the new legislation will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. However, as the assessment is ongoing, we are not able to quantify the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements at this time.

Operating Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 28, 2025 were $149.9 million. The net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 28, 2025 resulted primarily from net income, adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash operating charges, of $151.1 million. Significant non-cash operating charges included depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, provision for inventory valuation and deferred income taxes. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2025 increased compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2024 primarily due to improved inventory management, higher cash collections and higher investment income.
Our working capital was $1,338.6 million at June 28, 2025 and $1,307.4 million at December 28, 2024.
Investing Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities for the six months ended June 28, 2025 were $64.8 million. During the six months ended June 28, 2025, net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities included purchases of marketable securities of $419.3 million, capital expenditures of $22.0 million and purchases of non-marketable equity securities of $8.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities of $384.6 million.
From time to time, we evaluate whether to acquire new or complementary businesses, products or technologies. We may fund all of or a portion of the price of these investments or acquisitions in cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock.
Financing Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities for the six months ended June 28, 2025 were $83.2 million. During the six months ended June 28, 2025, financing activities used cash primarily for purchases of common stock of $75.0 million and tax payments related to shares withheld to satisfy employee tax obligations in connection with the vesting of awards under share-based compensation plans of $12.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from sales of shares through share-based compensation plans of $4.2 million.
In February 2024, the our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization, which allows the Company to repurchase up to $200 million worth of shares of its common stock. Repurchases may be made through both public market and private transactions from time to time. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, we repurchased 0 and 492 thousand shares of common stock under this repurchase authorization, respectively. As of June 28, 2025, there was $99.9 million available for future share repurchases under this share repurchase authorization.
We have a credit agreement with a bank that provides for a variable-rate line of credit that is secured by the marketable securities we have with the bank. We are permitted to borrow up to 70% of the value of eligible securities held at the time the line of credit is accessed, up to a maximum of $100.0 million. As of June 28, 2025, the available line of credit was $100.0 million with an available interest rate of 5.0%. The credit agreement is available to us until such time that either party terminates the arrangement at its discretion. As of the date of this filing, we have not utilized the line of credit.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and amount of our revenue and our investment decisions, which will affect our ability to generate additional cash. We expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under our line of credit will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for

working capital, capital expenditures and other cash needs for the next 12 months following the filing of this Form 10-Q. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations and financing activities is insufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements, we may seek additional funding through bank borrowings, sales of securities or other means. A reduction in or volatility with respect to our stock price or a general market downturn could materially impact our ability to sell securities on favorable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition of Semilab USA LLC.
Our ability to complete the acquisition of Semilab USA is subject to various closing conditions, including the receipt of consents and approvals from governmental authorities, which may impose conditions that could adversely affect us or cause the acquisition not to be completed.
27
Table of Contents
On June 27, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement (the Purchase Agreement) to acquire Semilab USA, an independent manufacturer of metrology equipment for the semiconductor industry, from Semilab. The acquisition is subject to customary conditions to closing as specified in the Purchase Agreement. These closing conditions include, among others, (i) the expiration or termination of any waiting period applicable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and receipt of Hungarian foreign direct investment approval, (ii) the absence of any law or order issued by any governmental authority preventing consummation of the transaction and (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of, and compliance with covenants by, each of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. No assurance can be given that the required governmental approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to closing will be satisfied, and, if all required approvals are obtained and the required conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such approvals. Any delay in completing the acquisition could cause the combined company not to realize, or to be delayed in realizing, some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the acquisition is successfully completed within its expected time frame. Additionally, either we or Semilab may terminate the Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, including, (i) if the transaction is not consummated within nine (9) months following the date of the Purchase Agreement, subject to one extension of three (3) months at either the Company’s or Semilab’s election if on such date all of the closing conditions except those relating to regulatory approvals have been satisfied or waived, (ii) upon entry by a governmental authority of a final order restraining or permanently enjoining the transaction or (iii) if the other party breaches the Purchase Agreement and such breach would cause the failure of any condition to closing (subject to a cure period). We can provide no assurance that the various closing conditions will be satisfied and that the necessary approvals will be obtained, or that any required conditions will not materially adversely affect the combined company following the acquisition. In addition, we can provide no assurance that these conditions will not result in the abandonment or delay of the acquisition. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.
Integrating Semilab USA’s business may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected, and we may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, which may adversely affect our business results and negatively affect the value of our common stock.
The success of the Semilab USA acquisition, including the realization of anticipated benefits, will depend, in part, on our ability to successfully combine our and Semilab USA’s businesses. The integration may be more difficult, costly or time consuming than expected. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees or the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or that the alignment of standards, controls, procedures and policies may adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, suppliers and employees or to fully achieve the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the transaction. The loss of key employees could adversely affect our ability to successfully conduct our business in the markets in which Semilab USA now operates, which could have an adverse effect on our financial results. Other potential difficulties of combining our and Semilab USA’s businesses include unanticipated issues in integrating manufacturing, logistics, information communications and other systems. If we experience difficulties with the integration process, the anticipated benefits of the Semilab USA acquisition may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Integration efforts between the two companies may also divert management attention and resources. These integration matters could have an adverse effect on each of us and Semilab USA during this transition period and for an undetermined period after completion of the Semilab USA acquisition on the combined company.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In February 2024, the Onto Innovation Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization, which allows the Company to repurchase up to $200 million worth of shares of its common stock. There were 0 and 492 thousand shares of common stock repurchased under this authorization during the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively. There was $99.9 million available for future share repurchases under this share repurchase authorization at June 28, 2025. For further information, see Note 16, “Share Repurchase Authorization,” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to our share repurchase program, we withhold common stock shares associated with net share settlements to cover tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards under the Company’s equity incentive program. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, we withheld 37 thousand and 49 thousand shares through net share settlements, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, net share settlements cost $3.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Please refer to Note 10, “Share-Based Compensation,” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion regarding our equity incentive plan.
