Commitments

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had commitments of approximately $9.0 million and $14.2 million, respectively, for construction and acquisition of property, plant and equipment. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company continued its investments in automation and the use of robotics in its production processes to streamline efficiency.

In addition to these commitments, in March 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized approximately $9.1 million (€8.0 million) for an expansion at one of our facilities in France, which is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025.

Contingencies

The Company has entered into arrangements with third-party lenders where it has agreed to repurchase products that are repossessed from the independent distributor customer in the event of default. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. As of June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024, the maximum amount of collateral the Company could be required to purchase was $147.7 million and $154.9 million, respectively. The Company’s financial exposure under these arrangements is limited to the difference between the amount paid to third-party lenders for repurchases of inventory and the amount received upon subsequent resale of the repossessed product. The Company had no repurchases of inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended December 31, 2024 and concluded the liability associated with potential repurchase obligations was neither probable, nor material.

Litigation

We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company has established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable, and maintains product liability and other insurance that management believes to be adequate. Although management believes that any pending claims and lawsuits will not have a significant impact on the Company’s

consolidated financial position or results of operations, the adjudication of such matters is subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change depending on future events.
