NOTE 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Advanced Energy”) provides highly engineered, critical, precision power conversion, measurement, and control solutions to our global customers. We design, manufacture, sell, and service precision power products that transform, refine, and modify the raw electrical power coming from either the utility or the building facility and convert it into various types of highly controllable, usable power that is predictable, repeatable, and customizable to meet the necessary requirements for powering a wide range of complex equipment. Many of our products enable customers to reduce or optimize their energy consumption through increased power conversion efficiency, power density, power coupling, and process control across a wide range of applications.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly Advanced Energy’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other financial information filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments include, but are not limited to, excess and obsolete inventory, income taxes and other provisions, and acquisitions and asset valuations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1. Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

New Accounting Standards

From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standards-setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued guidance, whether adopted or to be adopted in the future, will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 47020): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments,” which improves the relevance and consistency in the application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20. ASU 2024-04 clarifies whether entities should apply extinguishment accounting or induced conversion accounting when recording the settlement of convertible debt instruments due to an induced conversion. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,

2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026 and, as a result, we accounted for the exchange of the 2028 Notes as an induced conversion. See Note 6. Long-Term Debt for additional details of this transaction.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” ASU 2025-05 permits the use of certain estimates and assumptions in developing forecasts used for determining expected credit losses on accounts receivable. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026, and it was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

New 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.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2027. We do not expect the above guidance to materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” ASU 2025-06 eliminates the consideration of project development stages in determining whether a cost is eligible for capitalization. Instead, cost capitalization will be based on a “probable to complete” threshold. This guidance will be effective for us on January 1, 2028. We are evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2025-06 may have on our consolidated financial statements.
