Note 13 – Government Grants

Our recently acquired subsidiary, MTEX, receives grants from its local government in Portugal to support its operations and various capital projects. We account for these government grants by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20, “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance”, which follows a grant accounting model. Under this accounting framework, government assistance is recognized when it is probable we will receive assistance and comply with the conditions attached to the assistance. Operational related assistance is recorded on a systematic basis over the periods in which the related costs or expenditures have occurred and is presented as a reduction in the expense for which it is intended to defray. Capital related assistance is recorded as long-term deferred revenue and is recognized in cost of revenue as an offset against depreciation expense over the applicable asset's useful life.

The grant programs have various execution periods - some ending in May 2025 and others continuing through November 2026. The government agencies may verify compliance with the conditions established in the contracts during the investment phase and upon completion and are entitled to propose adjustments and require reimbursement if the contracts do not meet the specifications. Historically, no significant corrections or returns have occurred. As of April 30, 2025, there are no contingencies associated with the government grants.

The capital related government contracts between the Portuguese government and MTEX are defined on a grant-by-grant basis, with partial reimbursement of the assets acquired in connection with these grants. We have $1.4 million of short and long-term deferred revenue for capital related government grants which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2025, and we have recognized $0.1 million of grant revenue, included in cost of revenue as an offset to depreciation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended April 30, 2025.

Under the operational related assistance grants, MTEX commits to research and development projects that the Portuguese government partially reimburses. We have recognized $0.2 million of grant revenue for our operational related assistance grants which is offset against the expenditures recognized for those grants and is included in selling and marketing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended April 30, 2025.
