BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Ultralife Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Ultralife”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

The December 31, 2025 consolidated balance sheet information referenced herein was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

 

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Recent Business Developments

 

In connection with the importation of certain raw materials and components used in the manufacture of its products, the Company previously paid tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Such tariff costs were included in inventory and recognized in cost of products sold as the related inventory was sold.

 

During the second quarter of 2026, the Company received cash refunds of previously paid IEEPA tariffs following legal developments related to the validity of certain IEEPA tariffs and the implementation of refund procedures by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Company accounts for IEEPA tariff refunds as gain contingencies and recognizes such amounts only when the related contingencies have been resolved and the amounts are realized or realizable. Accordingly, during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a net refund of $1,102 as a reduction of cost of products sold, representing the recovery of tariff costs previously recognized in earnings. The tariff costs related to the refund recognized as a reduction of cost of products sold were not charged to customers and therefore not payable to customers. Additional refunds received related to tariff costs capitalized in inventory on hand at June 30, 2026 were recorded as a reduction of inventory and will be recognized in cost of products sold as the related inventory is sold in future periods. The refund was received in cash during the quarter.

 

The Company continues to evaluate potential claims for additional IEEPA tariff refunds. Additional recoveries remain subject to governmental review, claim validation, administrative processing and ongoing legal proceedings. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026, the Company had not recorded a receivable or recognized any amounts related to potential future IEEPA tariff recoveries as realization of such amounts is not considered sufficiently probable at this time.

 

Recent Accounting Guidance 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 requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
