Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Coherent Corp. (“Coherent”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. 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 condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 15, 2025. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of June 30, 2025 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.

Note 2. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s year beginning July 1, 2025 and the new disclosure requirements will be reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2026.

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.” This ASU requires disclosure about specific types of expenses included in expense captions including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. This ASU is effective for our annual disclosures starting in fiscal year 2028 and interim periods starting in fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We disaggregate revenue by market and geography. We believe that disaggregating revenue by market and geography provides the most relevant information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows. We do not present other levels of disaggregation, such as by type of products, customer, contracts, duration of contracts, timing of transfer of control and sales channels, as this information is not used by our CODM to manage the business.

Effective July 1, 2025, the Company aligned its reporting of revenues into two markets: (i) Datacenter & Communications, and (ii) Industrial. All prior period market and segment disclosure information has been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure.

The following tables summarize disaggregated revenue by market ($000):


	Three Months Ended September 30,
Markets	2025		2024
Datacenter & Communications	$	1,090,000	$	863,642
Industrial	491,378		484,493
Total Revenues	$	1,581,378	$	1,348,135

Contract Liabilities

Payments received from customers are based on invoices or billing schedules as established in contracts with customers. Contract liabilities generally relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized revenue of $36 million related to customer payments that were included as contract liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025. We had $64 million of contract liabilities recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, $59 million of contract liabilities is included within Other accrued liabilities, and $5 million is included within Other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 4. Inventories

The components of inventories were as follows ($000):


	September 30, 2025		June 30, 2025
Raw materials	$	468,151	$	394,682

Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Effective July 1, 2025, the Company realigned its organizational structure into two reporting segments: (i) Datacenter & Communications, and (ii) Industrial. The information in the table below reflects the impact of this segment change whereby goodwill was reallocated to the respective reporting units on the first day of fiscal 2026 using a relative fair value approach. As a result of the change in reportable segments, the Company performed an impairment assessment immediately before and immediately after the segment change became effective, and no impairment of goodwill was identified.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows ($000):


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
	Networking		Materials		Lasers		Datacenter & Communications		Industrial		Total
Balance-beginning of period	$	1,038,439	$	241,467	$	3,191,178	$	—	$	—	$	4,471,084

Balance-end of period	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	1,150,174	$	3,324,659	$	4,474,833

(1)Other reclassifications include adjustments to goodwill classified as held-for-sale. See Note 18. Assets Held-for-Sale and Sale of Business for further information.

We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that fair value is below carrying value.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of our intangible assets other than goodwill were as follows ($000):


	September 30, 2025						June 30, 2025
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value

Senior Credit Facilities

On July 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Coherent entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), the lenders, and other parties thereto, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provided for senior secured financing of $4.0 billion, consisting of a term loan A credit facility (the “Term A Facility”) maturing July 1, 2027, with an aggregate principal amount of $850 million, a term loan B credit facility (the “Term B Facility,” and together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Facilities”) maturing July 1, 2029, with an aggregate principal amount of $2,800 million, and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and together with the Term Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”) maturing July 1, 2027, in an aggregate available amount of $350 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $50 million. On March 31, 2023, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which replaced the adjusted LIBOR-based rate of interest therein with an adjusted SOFR-based rate of interest. As amended, the Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate subject to a 0.10% floor plus a range of 1.75% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings bear interest at adjusted SOFR plus 1.85% as of September 30, 2025. On April 2, 2024, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, under which the principal amount of term B loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term B Loans”) were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the Existing Term B Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B Loans and certain other provisions. Debt extinguishment costs related to the replacement of the Existing Term B Loans of $2 million were expensed in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. On January 2, 2025, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, under which the principal amount of New Term B Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B-2 Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the New Term B Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B-2 Loans and certain other provisions. As further amended, the New Term B-2 Loans bear interest at a SOFR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.00% as of September 30, 2025. The maturity of the New Term B-2 Loans and Revolving Credit Facility was unchanged.

On the Closing Date, the Borrower and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries provided a guaranty of all obligations of the Borrower and the other loan parties under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents, secured cash management agreements and secured hedge agreements with the lenders and/or their affiliates (subject to certain exceptions). The Borrower and the other guarantors have also granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets to secure such obligations.

Table of Contents

2025 Incremental Term A Loans each bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate subject to a 0.00% floor plus a range of 1.25% to 2.25% based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The interest rate applicable to the 2025 Revolving Loans and the 2025 Incremental Term A Loans is initially a SOFR-based rate plus 1.50% as of September 30, 2025. The 2025 Revolving Loans and the 2025 Incremental Term A Loans mature on the earlier of September 26, 2030 or a “Springing Maturity Date,” which is a date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity of either (i) the Company’s unsecured senior notes or (ii) the term B loans then outstanding if, on such 91st day, the applicable senior notes or term B loans remain outstanding and liquidity is less than (x) $250 million plus (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such notes or term B loans, as applicable. Under Amendment No. 5, the outstanding New Term B-2 Loans were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B-3 Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the New Term B-2 Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B-3 Loans and certain other provisions. As further amended, the New Term B-3 Loans bear interest at a SOFR-based rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 1.75% as of September 30, 2025. The New Term B-3 Loans will mature on July 1, 2029.

Debt extinguishment costs related to the termination of the Term Loan A of $3 million were expensed in Other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

In relation to the Term Facilities, the Company incurred interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs and the benefit of the interest rate cap and swap, of $41 million and $53 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

On July 1, 2023, our interest rate cap became effective, which together with our interest rate swap (through September 30, 2024), reduced interest expense by $6 million and $13 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance costs included in interest expense was $10 million and $5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction to debt within the long-term debt caption in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Credit Facilities.

The Company had aggregate availability of $655 million under its Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2025.

Debt Assumed through Acquisition

We assumed the remaining balances of three term loans with the closing of the acquisition of Coherent, Inc., two of which were repaid prior to June 30, 2024. The aggregate principal amount outstanding is $17 million as of September 30, 2025 and is for a Facility Construction Loan in Germany due in 2030 that bears interest at 1.55% per annum. Payments are made quarterly.

5.000% Senior Notes due 2029

On December 10, 2021, the Company issued $990 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes pursuant to the indenture, dated as of December 10, 2021 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on December 15 and June 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2022, at a rate of 5.000% per annum. The Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2029.

On or after December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company had the ability to (but did not) redeem the Senior Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company had the ability to (but did not) redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings as set forth in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

In relation to the Senior Notes, the Company incurred interest expense of $13 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, which is included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

The Indenture contains customary covenants and events of default, including default relating to, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Senior Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company’s fiscal year-to-date effective income tax rate was a benefit of 4% at September 30, 2025 compared to a benefit of 29% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The variance from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to discrete benefits related to German tax law changes, an uncertain tax position release and differences in tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

U.S. GAAP prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements which includes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit, excluding interest and penalties, was $63 million and $124 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. Due to the U.S. valuation allowance, a large portion of the gross unrecognized tax benefit will not impact the tax rate if recognized. As of September 30, 2025, $5 million of the gross unrecognized tax benefit would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $6 million and $9 million at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Fiscal years 2022 to 2025 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2021 to 2025 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2012 to 2025 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination for certain subsidiary companies in Vietnam for the years ended June 30, 2017 through September 30, 2021; Malaysia for the years ended June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2023; Singapore for the year ended June 30, 2023; United Kingdom for the years ended June 30, 2022 through June 30, 2023; Spain for the years ended June 30, 2023 through June 30, 2024; and Germany for the years ended September 30, 2012 through June 30, 2021. The Company believes its income tax reserves for these tax matters are adequate.

Note 9. Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception for arrangements with an initial term of more than 12 months, and classify it as either finance or operating.

Finance leases are generally those that allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated useful life. Finance lease assets are recorded in Property, plant and equipment, net, and finance lease liabilities within Other accrued liabilities and Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease assets are amortized in operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, with the interest component for lease liabilities included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.

Operating leases are leases that do not qualify as finance leases and are recorded in Other assets and Operating lease current liabilities and Operating lease liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in operating expenses over the lease term.

Our lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining fixed lease payments, over the lease term, using a discount rate of similarly secured borrowings available to the Company. For the purpose of lease liability measurement, we consider only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. Any variable payments that depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. We account for non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, as a component of the lease, and include it in the initial measurement of our leased assets and corresponding liabilities. Our lease terms and conditions may include options to extend or terminate. An option is recognized when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Our lease assets also include any lease payments made, and exclude any lease incentives received prior to commencement. Our lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations.

The following table presents lease costs, which include leases for arrangements with an initial term of more than 12 months, lease term, and discount rates ($000):

Note 10. Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors, without the approval of our shareholders, to issue 5 million shares of our preferred stock. As of September 30, 2025, 2.3 million shares of mandatory preferred convertible shares had been previously issued and converted to Common Stock; 75,000 shares of

Series B-1 convertible preferred stock, no par value, have been issued and are outstanding; and 140,000 shares of Series B-2 convertible preferred stock, no par value, have been issued and are outstanding.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In March 2021, the Company issued 75,000 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (“Series B-1 Preferred Stock”), for $10,000 per share, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $750 million. On July 1, 2022, the Company issued 140,000 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (“Series B-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”), for $10,000 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $1.4 billion.

The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Coherent Common Stock as follows:

•at the election of the holder, each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Coherent Common Stock at a conversion price of $85 per share (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the “Conversion Price”); and

•at the election of the Company at the then-applicable Conversion Price if the volume-weighted average price of Coherent Common Stock exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for 20 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days.

The issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock currently have voting rights, voting as one class with the Coherent Common Stock, on an as-converted basis, subject to limited exceptions.

On or at any time after March 31, 2031 and July 1, 2032 for the Series B-1 and B-2 Preferred Stock, respectively:

•each holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all of their Series B Preferred Stock, for cash, at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of the Stated Value (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock) for such shares plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value (such price the “Redemption Price,” and such right the “Put Right”); and

•the Company has the right to redeem, in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis from all holders based on the aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, for cash, at the Redemption Price.

In connection with any Fundamental Change (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock), and subject to the procedures set forth in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company must, or will cause the survivor of a Fundamental Change to, make an offer to repurchase, at the option and election of the holder thereof, each share of Series B Preferred Stock then-outstanding at a purchase price per share in cash equal to (i) the Stated Value for such shares plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value as of the date of repurchase plus (ii) if prior to March 31, 2026 and July 1, 2027, for the Series B-1 and B-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, the aggregate amount of all dividends that would have been paid (subject to certain exceptions), from the date of repurchase through March 31, 2026 and July 1, 2027, for the Series B-1 and B-2 Preferred Stock, respectively.

If the Company defaults on a payment obligation with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock, and such default is not cured within 30 days, the dividend rate will increase to 8% per annum and will be increased by an additional 2% per annum each quarter the Company remains in default, not to exceed 14% per annum.

The Series B Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash outside of the control of the Company upon the exercise of the Put Right, and upon a Fundamental Change, and is therefore classified as mezzanine equity.

The Series B Preferred Stock is initially measured at fair value less issuance costs, accreted to its redemption value over a 10-year period (using the effective interest method) with such accretion accounted for as deemed dividends and reductions to Net Earnings (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders.

Preferred stock dividends are presented as a reduction to Retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 11. Noncontrolling Interests

On December 4, 2023, Silicon Carbide LLC (“Silicon Carbide”), one of the Company’s subsidiaries, completed (i) the sale of 16,666,667 Class A Common Units to Denso Corporation (“Denso”) for $500,000,000 pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2023, by and between Silicon Carbide and Denso and (ii) the sale of 16,666,667 Class A Common Units to Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (“MELCO”) for $500,000,000 pursuant to an Investment Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2023, by and between Silicon Carbide and MELCO (collectively, the “Equity Investments”).

As a result of the Equity Investments, the Company’s ownership interest in the Class A Common units of Silicon Carbide LLC was reduced to approximately 75%. Denso and MELCO each own approximately 12.5% of the Class A Common Units of Silicon Carbide.

The Equity Investments in Silicon Carbide enables Coherent to increase its available free cash flow to provide greater financial and operational flexibility to execute its capital allocation priorities, as the aggregate $1 billion investment, net of transaction costs, is being and will continue to be used to fund future capital expansion of Silicon Carbide.

The following table presents the activity in noncontrolling interests in Silicon Carbide ($000s):

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to the common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the diluted earnings (loss) available to the common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of equity awards is calculated based on the average stock price for each fiscal period, using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of the potential shares of Coherent Common Stock issuable from performance and restricted shares. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, as the Company was in a net loss position, there were no dilutive shares.

Potentially dilutive shares whose effect would have been anti-dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, diluted earnings per share included the potentially dilutive effect of the shares of Coherent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (under the If-Converted method), as their effects were dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, diluted loss per share excluded the potentially dilutive effect of the performance and restricted shares, calculated based on the average stock price for each fiscal period, using the treasury stock method, as well as the shares of Coherent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (under the If-Converted method), as their effects were anti-dilutive.

Note 13. Segment Reporting

The Company’s businesses are organized and managed into segments based on similarities in products and services. Segment determination reflects how the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) evaluates the Company’s operations for decision-making operating decisions and performance assessment. Effective July 1, 2025, the Company realigned its organizational structure and now identifies multiple operating segments, which are aggregated into two reportable segments: (i) Datacenter & Communications, and (ii) Industrial. In accordance with ASC 280 “Segment Reporting,” the aggregation of the company’s segments is based on similarities in economic characteristics, product and service types, production processes, type or class of customers, and distribution methods. Previously, financial results had been reported in the following three segments: (i) Networking, (ii) Materials, and (iii) Lasers. Comparative prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the new segments.

The Datacenter & Communications segment has locations in the United States, Australia, China, Germany, Malaysia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. This segment sells primarily into the datacenter and communications market, including transceivers, systems, subsystems, modules, components, optics, and semiconductor devices.

The Industrial segment has locations in the United States, China, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. This segment sells primarily into the

Table of Contents

industrial market, which includes lasers, systems, optics, components and materials for semiconductor and display capital equipment, precision manufacturing, life sciences, consumer electronics, scientific research and automotive and market applications.

Our CODM receives and reviews financial information based on the operating segments that are aggregated into the two reportable segments. Our CODM evaluates each segment’s performance and allocates resources based on segment revenue and segment profit, as our CODM believes segment profit is a more comprehensive profitability measure for each operating segment. Our CODM is regularly provided with segment revenue and segment profit information to assess performance of each segment. Segment profit includes operating expenses directly managed by operating segments, including research and development, direct sales, marketing and administrative expenses. Segment profit does not include share-based compensation, acquisition or integration related costs, amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring charges, impairment charges on assets held-for-sale, gain on sale of businesses and certain other charges or gains. Additionally, we do not allocate Corporate strategic research and development, strategic marketing and sales expenses and shared general and administrative expenses, as these expenses are not directly attributable to our operating segments. The segments are managed separately due to the unique products and markets that each serves. The Company derives its reportable segment results based on how financial information is reported and aggregated within its management reporting system. The CODM uses segment profit as a key metric in the forecasting process and in making decisions related to capital allocation and resource deployment across segments. The accounting policies are consistent across each segment. Assets by segment are not a measure used to assess the performance of the company by the CODM and thus are not reported in our disclosures.

The following table summarizes selected financial information of our operations by segment and reconciles segment profit to consolidated earnings (loss) before income taxes for the periods presented ($000):

Note 14. Share-Based Compensation

Stock Award Plans

The Company grants equity awards pursuant to the Coherent Corp. Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “Plan”). The Plan was originally approved by the Company's shareholders at the Annual Meeting in November 2018, and was subsequently amended, restated and approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meetings held in November 2020, November 2023 and November 2024. The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred shares, performance shares and performance units to employees (including officers), consultants and directors of the Company.

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan whereby eligible employees may authorize payroll deductions (subject to certain limitations) of up to 15% (or such lesser amount as may be determined by the plan administrator) of their wages and base salary to purchase shares at an amount which will not be less than 85% of the lower of (i) the fair market value of the common stock on the first trading day of the offering period and (ii) the fair market value of the common stock on the last trading day of the approximately six-month offering period.

Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The FASB defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous markets for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate fair value of our financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

•Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

•Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.

The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.

Table of Contents

On February 23, 2022, we entered into an interest rate cap (the “Cap”) with an effective date of July 1, 2023. On March 20, 2023, we amended the Cap to replace the current reference rate (LIBOR) with SOFR, to be consistent with Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement. See Note 7. Debt for further information. The Cap manages our exposure to interest rate movements on a portion of our floating rate debt. The Cap provides us with the right to receive payment if one-month SOFR exceeds 1.92%. Beginning in July 2023, we began to pay a fixed monthly premium based on an annual rate of 0.853% for the Cap. On September 1, 2024, we increased the notional amount from $500 million to $1,500 million. The fair value of the interest rate cap of $12 million and $17 million is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within Prepaid and other current assets and Other assets as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

The Cap, as amended, is designed to mirror the terms of the Credit Agreement as amended on March 31, 2023. We designated the Cap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the SOFR based interest payments on the Term Facilities. Every period over the life of the hedging relationship, the entire change in fair value related to the hedging instrument will first be recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”). Amounts accumulated in AOCI are reclassified into interest expense in the same period or periods in which interest expense is recognized on the Credit Agreement, or its direct replacement. The fair value of the Cap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflects the contractual terms of the Cap including the period to maturity, and while there are no quoted prices in active markets, it uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value analysis also considers a credit valuation adjustment to reflect nonperformance risk of both the Company and the single counterparty. The Cap is classified as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy.

We estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes, Term A Facility and Term B Facility (“Debt Facilities”) based on quoted market prices as of the last trading day prior to September 30, 2025; however, the Debt Facilities have only a limited trading volume and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily the value at which the Debt Facilities could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2. The carrying values of the Debt Facilities are net of unamortized discount and issuance costs. See Note 7. Debt for details on the Company’s debt facilities.

The fair value and carrying value of the Debt Facilities were as follows ($000):


	September 30, 2025				June 30, 2025
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Senior Notes	$	977,615	$	985,285	$	973,190	$	985,034
Term A Facility	1,254,688		1,242,659		632,960		616,234
Term B Facility	1,085,400		1,054,106		2,108,938		2,065,880

Our borrowings, including our lease obligations and the Debt Facilities, are considered Level 2 among the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 among the fair value hierarchy and approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those investments.

At September 30, 2025, total restricted cash was $700 million, which includes $697 million held by Silicon Carbide LLC and restricted for use only by that subsidiary, and $4 million of cash restricted for other purposes in other entities. At June 30, 2025, total restricted cash was $724 million, which includes $720 million of cash held by Silicon Carbide LLC and restricted for use only by that subsidiary, and $4 million of cash restricted for other purposes in other entities. The restricted cash is invested in money market accounts and time deposits, with maturities of one year or less, that are held-to-maturity, are considered Level 1 among the fair value hierarchy and approximate fair value. Restricted cash that is expected to be spent and released from restriction after 12 months is classified as non-current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We, from time to time, purchase foreign currency forward exchange contracts that permit us to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates that represent assets or liabilities on the balance sheets of certain subsidiaries. These contracts are entered into for the purpose of limiting translational exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and which otherwise would expose our earnings, on the revaluation of our aggregate net assets or liabilities in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk. At September 30, 2025, we had no foreign currency forward contracts. The fair values of these instruments, when outstanding, are measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. Realized gains related to these contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were zero and realized gains related to these contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $12 million and were included in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

Note 17. Restructuring Plans

2023 Restructuring Plan

On May 23, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the 2023 Plan which includes site consolidations, facilities moves and closures, as well as the relocation and requalification of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions were intended to realign our cost structure as part of a transformation to a simpler, more streamlined, resilient and sustainable business model. We evaluate restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420), and ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Post-Employment Benefits (ASC 712).

In the three months ended September 30, 2025, these activities resulted in $7 million of charges primarily for site move and employee termination costs. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, these activities resulted in $24 million of charges primarily for impairment losses associated with the sale of our Newton Aycliffe business, acceleration of depreciation and site move costs.

Activity and accrual balances for the 2023 Plan were as follows for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 ($000):


	Severance		Asset Write-Offs		Other		Total Accrual
Balance - June 30, 2025	$	44,230	$	—	$	—	$	44,230

Balance - September 30, 2024	$	43,810	$	—	$	—	$	43,810

At September 30, 2025, $9 million and $35 million of accrued severance related costs were included in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively, and are expected to result in cash expenditures through fiscal 2028. The current and prior year severance related net charges are primarily comprised of accruals and adjustments for severance and pay for employees being terminated due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing sites, with severance recorded in accordance with ASC 712.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, restructuring costs were primarily incurred in the Datacenter & Communications segment. Restructuring charges (recoveries) are recorded in Restructuring charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

2025 Restructuring Plan

Commencing in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and as part of the ongoing strategic review of the Company’s business, the Company’s management approved the 2025 Plan. In connection therewith, the Company expects to incur charges for related severance and benefits, lease and contract termination costs, asset write-offs, facilities move and other restructuring costs. We evaluate restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420 and ASC 712.

In the three months ended September 30, 2025, these activities resulted in $13 million of charges primarily related to employee termination and site closure costs. We expect the restructuring actions to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2026. However, the actual timing and costs associated with these restructuring actions may differ from our current expectations and estimates and such differences may be material.

Activity and accrual balances for the 2025 Plan were as follows for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 ($000):


	Severance		Asset Write-Offs		Other		Total Accrual
Balance - June 30, 2025	$	16,722	$	10,494	$	19,897	$	47,113

At September 30, 2025, $22 million of accrued severance related costs were included in other accrued liabilities and are expected to result in cash expenditures primarily through fiscal 2026. The current year severance related net charges are primarily comprised of accruals for severance and pay for employees being terminated due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing and distribution sites as well as workforce reductions, with severance recorded in accordance with ASC 712. At September 30, 2025, total liabilities for asset write-offs and other contract costs of $13 million and $11 million were included in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The restructuring costs (recoveries) were incurred primarily in Corporate for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Restructuring charges and recoveries are recorded in Restructuring charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

Note 18. Assets Held-for-Sale and Sale of Business

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, management entered into non-binding agreements to sell several entities. As a result of classifying these entities as held-for-sale, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $85 million within the Industrial segment. These charges were recognized in Impairment of assets held-for-sale in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to reduce the carrying values of the entities to their estimated fair value.

On September 2, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its aerospace and defense business, which was part of the Industrial segment, for approximately $400 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a gain of $115 million and incurred approximately $9 million in transaction related costs which were recorded in in Gain on sale of business and SG&A expenses, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

The Company recorded an additional non-cash impairment charge of $9 million within the Industrial segment related to entities that continued to be classified as held-for-sale at September 30, 2025. The charge was recorded in Impairment of assets held-for-sale in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to reduce the carrying value of entities classified as held-for-sale to their estimated fair value.

Current assets and current liabilities held for sale are recorded in Prepaid and other current assets and Other accrued liabilities, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities held for sale are recorded in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Assets and liabilities held-for-sale are in the Industrial segment.

Current and noncurrent assets and liabilities classified as held-for-sale as of September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 are as follows ($000):

Note 19. Contingencies

Regulatory Matters

In January 2025, the Company received an inquiry from BIS concerning past product sales to Huawei; the Company is cooperating with BIS’s inquiry and conducting an internal review of those sales to determine what products are subject to Export Administrative Regulations (“EAR”) and consequently restricted for export, reexport, and transfer when Huawei is a party to the transaction. The Company has stopped shipping products to Huawei. The Company is currently in discussions with BIS regarding past product sales and cannot predict the outcome of those discussions. While the Company has received requests for additional information in this matter, the Company has not yet received any determination from BIS. In the event that the Company is found to have violated the EAR, the Company may be required to incur significant penalties and/or costs or expense as a result of the inquiry and to comply with, or remedy any violations of these regulations, but at this time, the Company is unable to determine an estimate or range of loss.

Coherent’s MD&A is presented in the following sections:

•Forward-Looking Statements

•Overview

•Trends and Other Matters Affecting Our Business

•Critical Accounting Estimates

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

Forward-looking statements in Item 2 may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those projected (refer to Part II Item 1A for discussion of these risks and uncertainties).

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements as defined by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding projected growth rates, markets, product development, financial position, capital expenditures and foreign currency exposure. Forward-looking statements are also identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “projects” or similar expressions.

Although our management considers the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based to have a reasonable basis, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct. In addition to general industry and global economic conditions, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to: (i) the failure of any one or more of the expectations or assumptions on which such forward-looking statements are based to prove to be correct; and (ii) the risks relating to forward-looking statements and other “Risk Factors” discussed in Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 and in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or developments, or otherwise.

In addition, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment; new risk factors can arise, and it is not possible for management to anticipate all such risk factors, or to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date of this report.

Trends and Other Matters Affecting Our Business

Industry Conditions

We continue to experience strong demand in our Datacenter and Communications markets. The increasing investments by hyperscale and other cloud providers in AI datacenter infrastructures have significantly boosted demand for our datacenter transceivers. Elevated demand for our new ZR/ZR+ transceivers and sustained growth in traditional telecom transport products drove higher shipment volumes for our telecom and other communications solutions.

Change in Reportable Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of a company that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses, and for which discrete financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Aggregation of similar operating segments into reportable operating segments is permitted if the businesses have similar economic characteristics and meet established qualitative criteria. Effective July 1, 2025, we realigned our organizational structure and identified multiple operating segments which have been aggregated into two reportable segments based on our internal management structure and CODM oversight: (i) Datacenter & Communications, and (ii) Industrial. See Note 13. Segment Reporting for further information.

Restructuring Plans

2023 Plan

In the three months ended September 30, 2025, these activities resulted in charges of $7 million. The current quarter costs are primarily for site move and employee termination costs. In fiscal 2025, these activities resulted in charges of charges of $53 million, primarily for impairment losses associated with the sale of our Newton Aycliffe business, impairment of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, employee termination costs, site move costs and accelerated depreciation, with $24 million of those charges in the three months ended September 30, 2024. In fiscal 2024, these activities resulted in $119 million of charges primarily for employee termination costs, and the write-off of property and equipment, net of $65 million from reimbursement arrangements. In fiscal 2023, these activities resulted in $119 million of charges primarily for employee termination costs, and the write-off of property and equipment, net of $65 million from reimbursement arrangements. See Note 17. Restructuring Plans for further information.

2025 Plan

Commencing in the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and as part of the ongoing strategic review of the Company’s business, the Company’s management approved the 2025 Plan (and together with the 2023 Plan, the Restructuring Plans) to take a number of restructuring actions, including site consolidations, facilities moves and closures, workforce reductions, contract terminations, and certain other associated cost reductions.

In the three months ended September 30, 2025, these activities resulted in $13 million of charges primarily related to employee termination and site closure costs. In fiscal 2025, these activities resulted in $107 million of charges primarily for the write-off of property and equipment and ROU assets, employee and contract termination costs. We expect the restructuring actions to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2026. However, the actual timing and costs associated with these restructuring actions may differ from our current expectations and estimates and such differences may be material. See Note 17. Restructuring Plans for further information.

Impairment of Assets Held-for-Sale and Sale of Business

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, management entered into non-binding agreements to sell several entities. As a result of classifying these entities as held-for-sale, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $85 million within the Industrial segment. These charges were recognized in Impairment of assets held-for-sale in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to reduce the carrying values of the entities to their estimated fair value. We recorded an additional non-cash impairment charge of $9 million within the Industrial segment. The charge was recorded in Impairment of assets held-for-sale in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to reduce the carrying values of the entities that continue to meet the held-for-sale criteria during this period to their estimated fair value.

On September 2, 2025, we completed the sale our aerospace and defense business, which is part of our Industrial segment, for approximately $400 million and recorded a gain of $115 million to Gain on sale of business in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

See Note 18. Assets Held-for-Sale and Sale of Business to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Macroeconomic Conditions - Tariffs

In early 2025, the United States implemented significant new tariffs and export restrictions affecting a broad range of countries, commodities and industries. These actions have prompted retaliatory measures from certain foreign governments, including the imposition of tariffs and export controls. As of September 2025, while some of these measures have been delayed, a number of the new tariffs remain in effect, including substantial trade sanctions between the United States and China. China has imposed restrictions on the export of certain rare earth minerals which are critical to our products.

These tariffs, trade sanctions, and/or restrictions on the export of certain rare earth minerals used in our products did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition, operational results and/or cash flows in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

As a global company with a substantial and diversified manufacturing footprint our diverse manufacturing footprint provides us with some insulation against these tariffs, trade sanctions, and other geopolitical challenges. Our geographically diverse supply chain combined with the internal production of many of our most critical technology in-feeds provides adaptability and optionality that benefits our customers. As the tariff, trade sanctions, and export restrictions become clearer, we expect to identify opportunities to mitigate their impact. However, we operate in a dynamic geopolitical environment, and we are not immune to any sustained disruption in global trade conditions. Such disruptions could create future headwinds for the Company and may result in revenue reduction, cost increases on material used in our products or significant production delays, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.

Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated August 15, 2025 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2.

Consolidated

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 17% to $1,581 million, compared to $1,348 million for the same period last fiscal year. Revenues increased $226 million (26%) in the Datacenter & Communications segment. Revenue growth in our Datacenter business was fueled by continued strong AI datacenter demand, while our Communications business benefited from increased demand in both data center interconnect and traditional telecom applications. In the Industrial segment, revenue increased $7 million (1%) primarily due to increased volumes in our precision manufacturing, semiconductor capital equipment and automotive markets. This growth was partially offset by the divestiture of our aerospace and defense business on September 2, 2025.

Gross margin. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $579 million, or 37% of total revenues, compared to $460 million, or 34% of total revenues, for the same period last fiscal year, an increase of 252 basis points. The increase as a percent of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to higher revenue volume, product cost reductions and yield improvements in the Datacenter & Communications segment. In addition, gross margin was favorably impacted by pricing optimization in both the Datacenter & Communications and Industrial segments.

Research and development. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $155 million, or 10% of revenues, compared to $132 million, or 10% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. The increase of $23 million in R&D expenses was primarily related to continued investment in our product portfolios, particularly in our Datacenter & Communications segment. We continue to prioritize R&D investments in projects with the highest expected return-on-investment, supporting our long-term growth strategy.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $252 million, or 16% of revenues, compared to $229 million, or 17% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily the result of higher sales volumes and efficiencies achieved from cost reduction initiatives partially offset by higher integration and divestiture-related consulting costs, as well as higher share-based compensation expense.

Restructuring charges. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $19 million and consisted primarily of employee termination costs and move costs due to the consolidation and closure of certain manufacturing sites. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $24 million and consisted of impairment losses associated with the sale of our Newton Aycliffe business, accelerated depreciation, and move costs due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing sites. See Note 17. Restructuring Plans included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Impairment of assets held-for-sale. Impairment of assets held-for-sale for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $9 million, or 1% of revenues and represented non-cash impairment charges to reduce our carrying value in entities that continue to meet the held-for-sale criteria at September 30, 2025 to their estimated fair value. See Note 18. Assets Held-for-Sale and Sale of Business included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Gain on sale of business. Gain on sale of business for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $115 million, or 7% of revenues and represented the gain on the sale of our aerospace and defense business. See Note 18. Assets Held-for-Sale and Sale of Business included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Interest and other, net. Interest and other, net expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $42 million, compared to $56 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $14 million. Included in Interest and other, net, were interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of debt issuance costs, losses on debt extinguishment, equity gains and losses from unconsolidated investments, and interest and dividend income on cash balances. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the decrease of $14 million in comparison to the same period last fiscal year was driven by $11 million lower foreign exchange net losses, $8 million lower interest expense and a $7 million gain on sale from an equity investment partially offset by $5 million lower interest income and $5 million higher debt extinguishment and debt transaction fees. The $11 million lower foreign exchange net losses were primarily due to lower volatility of exchange rates during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The $8 million lower interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on our Term Loans resulting from lower balances and lower interest rates partially offset by lower interest expense benefit from our interest rate cap and swap. The $5 million lower interest and dividend income was primarily due to decreases in interest rates earned on investments as well as the decrease in average cash and restricted cash balances.

Income taxes. The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at September 30, 2025 was a 4% benefit compared to a benefit of 29% for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The variance from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to discrete benefits related to German tax law changes, an uncertain tax position release and differences in tax rates between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $1 million, consistent with the same period in the prior fiscal year. This amount represents the noncontrolling interest holders’ shares of losses of Silicon Carbide LLC. See Note 11. Noncontrolling Interests included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Segment Reporting

Revenues and segment profit for the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. Our CODM evaluates each segment’s operations for decision-making and performance assessment based on segment revenue and segment profit, as our CODM believes segment profit is a more comprehensive profitability measure for each operating segment. Segment profit includes operating expenses directly managed by operating segments, including research and development, direct sales, marketing and administrative expenses. Segment profit does not include share-based compensation, acquisition or integration related costs, amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring charges, impairment charges on assets held-for-sale, gain on sale of businesses and certain other charges. Additionally, we do not allocate Corporate strategic research and development, strategic marketing and sales expenses and shared general and administrative expenses, as these expenses are not directly attributable to our operating segments. Management believes segment profit to be a useful measure for investors, as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control and is used by management in its evaluation of segment performance. See Note 13. Segment Reporting, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the Company’s reportable segments and for the reconciliation of the Company’s segment profit to earnings (loss) before income taxes, which is incorporated herein by reference. Effective July 1, 2025, we report our financial results in the following two designated segments: (i) Datacenter & Communications and (ii) Industrial.

Comparative prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the new segments.

Datacenter & Communications ($ in millions)


	Three Months Ended September 30,				% Increase
	2025		2024
Revenues	$	1,090	$	864	26%
Segment profit	$	269	$	219	23%

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 26% to $1,090 million, compared to $864 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in revenue of $226 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was due to increases in our Datacenter business driven primarily by continued strong AI datacenter demand and growth in our Communications business revenue due to higher demand in the data center interconnect as well as traditional telecom applications.

Segment profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 23% to $269 million, compared to segment profit of $219 million for the same period last fiscal year. The increase in segment profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by higher revenues, partially offset by increased R&D investments in our product portfolio.

Industrial ($ in millions)


	Three Months Ended September 30,				% Increase (Decrease)
	2025		2024
Revenues	$	491	$	484	1%
Segment profit	$	117	$	69	69%

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 1% to $491 million, compared to revenues of $484 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, Industrial revenues increased $7 million year-over-year, primarily due to increased volumes in our precision manufacturing, semiconductor capital equipment and automotive markets. The revenue growth was partially offset by the divestiture of our aerospace and defense business on September 2, 2025.

Segment profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased 69% to $117 million, compared to segment profit of $69 million for the same period last fiscal year, primarily driven by lower manufacturing costs, improvements in pricing optimization and favorable product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary sources of cash have been provided from operations, long-term borrowings, and advance funding from customers. Other sources of cash include proceeds from the issuance of equity, proceeds received from the exercises of stock options, and sale of equity investments and businesses. Our historic uses of cash have been for business acquisitions, capital expenditures, investment in research and development, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations, payments of debt and equity issuance costs to obtain financing and payments in satisfaction of employees’ minimum tax obligations. Supplemental information pertaining to our sources and uses of cash for the periods indicated is presented as follows:

Sources (uses) of cash ($ in millions):

Operating activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $46 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $153 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year was primarily due to increases in inventories and accounts receivable as a result of higher revenues partially offset by higher accounts payable and higher net earnings.

Investing activities:

Net cash provided by investing activities was $297 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net cash used of $66 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to $391 million cash received from the sale of a business, net of fees.

Financing activities:

Net cash used in financing activities was $421 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $126 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Net cash outflows for both periods were primarily attributable to payments on existing debt obligations.

Senior Credit Facilities

On September 26, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) and Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Credit Agreement. Under Amendment No. 4, (i) the existing revolving credit commitments were refinanced and replaced with new senior secured revolving credit commitments, (ii) $350 million of senior secured incremental revolving credit commitments were added, increasing the total revolving credit facility to $700 million (the “2025 Revolving Loans”), including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $100 million, and (iii) a $1,250 million new tranche of senior secured incremental term A loans was added (the “2025 Incremental Term A Loans”), the proceeds of which were used, in part, to repay all outstanding principal, interest and fees under the initial term A loans. As amended, the 2025 Revolving Loans and the 2025 Incremental Term A Loans each bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate subject to a 0.00% floor plus a range of 1.25% to 2.25% based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The interest rate applicable to the 2025 Revolving Loans and the 2025 Incremental Term A Loans is initially a SOFR-based rate plus 1.50% as of September 30, 2025. The 2025 Revolving Loans and the 2025 Incremental Term A Loans mature on the earlier of September 26, 2030 or a “Springing Maturity Date,” which is a date that is 91 days prior to the stated maturity of either (i) the Company’s unsecured senior notes or (ii) the term B loans then outstanding if, on such 91st day, the applicable senior notes or term B loans remain outstanding and liquidity is less than (x) $250 million plus (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such notes or term B loans, as applicable. Under Amendment No. 5, the outstanding New Term B-2 Loans were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B-3 Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the New Term B-2 Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B-3 Loans and certain other provisions. As further amended, the New Term B-3 Loans bear interest at a SOFR-based rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 1.75% as of September 30, 2025. The New Term B-3 Loans will mature on July 1, 2029.

In relation to the Term Facilities, the Company incurred expense of $41 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, which is included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). On July 1, 2023, our interest rate cap became effective, which together with our interest rate swap (through September 30, 2024), reduced interest expense by $6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made payments of $400 million for the Term Facilities, all of which were voluntary payments.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $10 million in borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Our cash position, borrowing capacity and debt obligations are as follows (in millions):


	September 30, 2025		June 30, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	853	$	909
Restricted cash, current	23		9
Restricted cash, non-current	678		715
Available borrowing capacity under Revolving Credit Facility	655		315
Total debt obligations	3,308		3,687

Other Liquidity

On December 4, 2023, the Company completed two investment agreements under which Silicon Carbide LLC, a Company subsidiary, received $1.0 billion cash in exchange for 25% of the equity of that entity. Such funds have and will continue to be used primarily to fund future capital expansion in our silicon carbide business and will enable us to increase our available free cash flow to provide greater financial and operational flexibility to execute our capital allocation priorities. See Note 11. Noncontrolling Interests included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

The Company believes existing cash, cash flow from operations, and available borrowing capacity from its Senior Credit Facilities will be sufficient to fund its needs for working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of scheduled long-term borrowings and lease obligations, investments in R&D, and internal and external growth objectives at least through the next twelve months.

Our cash and cash equivalent balances are generated and held in numerous locations throughout the world, including amounts held outside the United States. As of September 30, 2025, the Company held approximately $802 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash outside of the United States. Generally, cash balances held outside the United States could be repatriated to the United States.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2025, we had $700 million of restricted cash, which includes $697 million at our Silicon Carbide LLC that is restricted for use by only that subsidiary.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal course of business, we have the option to use a variety of techniques and derivative financial instruments as part of our overall risk management strategy, which is primarily focused on our exposure in relation to the Chinese Renminbi, Euro, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Singapore Dollar and Korean Won. As of September 30, 2024, after weighing the costs and benefits of hedging foreign exchange risks on our global balance sheets, we paused our balance sheet hedging program indefinitely. We continue to analyze these risks and the costs and benefits inherent in a hedging program.

Interest Rate Risks

As of September 30, 2025, our total borrowings include variable rate borrowings, which expose us to changes in interest rates. On February 23, 2022, we entered into an interest rate cap (the “Cap”), amended on March 20, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2023. On September 1, 2024, we increased the notional amount from $500 million to $1,500 million. If we had not effectively hedged our variable rate debt, a change in the interest rate of 100 basis points on these variable rate borrowings would have resulted in additional interest expense of $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s disclosure controls were designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, the controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the controls’ stated goals. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) were implemented during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. The resolution of each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. Management believes, after consulting with legal counsel, that the ultimate liabilities, if any, resulting from such legal proceedings will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 and additional risk factors that may be identified from time to time in filings of the Company, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Those risk factors are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) of the Company adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading agreement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading agreement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
