NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by IPG Photonics Corporation, or "IPG", "its" or the "Company". Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company's accounts and those of its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, "Leases," ("ASC 842" or the "new lease standard"), the following significant accounting policy has been adopted as of January 1, 2019.

Leases — The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Right of use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, IPG uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component.

Reclassifications — Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted Pronouncements —

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The Company adopted ASC 842, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption. Under this approach, comparative periods have not been restated. In addition, IPG elected the package of three practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed for the carry forward of the historical lease classification.

IPG PHOTONICS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's condensed consolidated January 1, 2019 balance sheet for the adoption of ASC 842 related to operating leases was as follows:


	Balance at		Adoption of		Balance at
	December 31, 2018		ASC 842		January 1, 2019
Balance Sheet

Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	57,764	$	(324)	$	57,440
Other assets	18,932		19,463		38,395
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	154,640		5,292		159,932
Deferred income taxes and other long-term liabilities	80,734		13,847		94,581

In the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"), which enhances and clarifies the guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows and requires additional disclosure about restricted cash balances. The Company considers cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. The Company records restricted cash in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and determines classification based on the expected duration of the restriction.

The reconciliation of the Company's cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is as follows:


	Balance at
	September 30, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	580,329
Restricted cash included in other assets	2,789
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	583,118

Other Pronouncements Currently Under Evaluation —

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The ASU is also intended to reduce the complexity by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. ASU 2016-03, along with its subsequent clarifications, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect this standard will have a material impact to net income.

One of our customers accounted for 9% and 13% of our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The same customer accounted for 29% and 25% of our net accounts receivable as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company enters into contracts to sell lasers and spare parts, for which revenue is generally recognized upon shipment or delivery, depending on the terms of the contract. The Company also provides installation services and extended warranties. The Company frequently receives consideration from a customer prior to transferring goods to the customer under the terms of a sales contract. The Company records customer deposits related to these prepayments, which represent a contract liability. The Company also records deferred revenue related to installation services when consideration is received before the services have been performed. The Company recognizes customer deposits and deferred revenue as net sales after control of the goods or services has been transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company bills customers for extended warranties upon entering into the agreement with the customer, resulting in deferred revenue. The timing of customer payments on contracts for the sale of customized robotic systems generally differs from the timing of revenue recognized, resulting in contract assets and liabilities. Contract assets are included within prepaid expense and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments, accounts receivable, auction rate securities, accounts payable, drawings on revolving lines of credit, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and contingent purchase consideration.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amounts of money market fund deposits, term deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable and drawings on revolving lines of credit are considered reasonable estimates of their fair market value due to the short maturity of most of these instruments or as a result of the competitive market interest rates which have been negotiated. The Company's bond securities are reported at fair value based upon quoted prices for instruments with identical terms in active markets. The Company's commercial paper securities reported at fair value are based upon model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, and are therefore classified as Level 2. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's long-term notes consisted of a variable rate note and a fixed rate note, and the book value is considered a reasonable estimate of fair market value.

were no long-term investments considered held-to-maturity as of September 30, 2019. The fair value of the long-term investments considered held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2018 was $3,859, which represents the book value recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the same period. There were no impairments for the investments considered held-to-maturity at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap that is designated as a cash flow hedge associated with a new long-term note issued during the second quarter of 2016 that will terminate with the long-term note in May 2023. The fair value at September 30, 2019 for the interest rate swap considered pricing models whose inputs are observable for the securities held by the Company.

Auction rate securities and contingent consideration are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value of the auction rate securities was determined using prices observed in inactive markets with limited observable data for the securities held by the Company. The auction rate securities are considered available-for-sale securities. They had a cost basis of $590 and $847 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. There were no impairments for the investments considered available-for-sale during the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

The fair value of contingent consideration was determined using an income approach at the respective business combination date and at the reporting date. That approach is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and include key assumptions such as assessing the probability of meeting certain milestones required to earn the contingent consideration.

The following table presents information about the Company's movement in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the membership units of Genesis Systems Group, LLC ("Genesis"). During the first quarter of 2019, the working capital adjustment to the purchase price was finalized resulting in an increase in the purchase price of $448. The additional purchase price was allocated entirely to goodwill.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company acquired the submarine networks division (SND) of Padtec SA, a communications equipment company based in Brazil. SND is a provider of submarine networking technology and systems. The Company paid $19,560 to acquire SND, which represents the fair value on that date. Of the purchase price, $1,956 ($1,801 at September 30, 2019) was held back for potential post-closing adjustments related to government approval of licenses. This balance is included within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, $2,934 ($2,789 at September 30, 2019) was held back in a restricted bank account for potential post-closing adjustments related to indemnities provided by the seller. This balance related to restricted cash is included within other assets, and the liability related to the amount due to the sellers if the indemnities are satisfied is included within deferred income taxes and other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill, which amounted to $9,426. The Company is assessing the deductibility of the goodwill for tax purposes. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $4,825 related to production know-how with a weighted-average useful life of 6 years and $4,825 related to customer relationships with a weighted-average life of 6 years.

The purchase price allocations included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are not complete. They represent the preliminary fair value estimates as of September 30, 2019 and are subject to subsequent adjustment as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period and finalizes its fair value estimates. Any subsequent adjustments to these fair value estimates occurring during the measurement period will result in changes to the amounts and allocations recorded.

13. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 26.2% and 21.4%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the effective tax rates were 24.8% and 24.2%, respectively.

There were discrete tax benefits of $5,443 and $660 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The discrete benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2019 include $229 related to excess equity-based compensation deductions and $5,326 for return to provision adjustments. The discrete benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2018 include $1,026 related to excess equity-based compensation and $4,247 for return to provision adjustments. The benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were offset by discrete detriments of $2,195 related to prepaid income taxes on profit in inventory provided as of December 31, 2017 at a U.S. Federal Tax Rate of 35% that flowed through consolidated earnings in 2018 and $3,046 related to a valuation allowance reflected primarily for state tax credits that exceed state income taxes in specific states.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the discrete tax benefits were $8,357 and $5,178, respectively. The discrete benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 include $4,271 related to excess equity-based compensation deductions and $5,293 for return to provision adjustments. The discrete benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 include $10,920 related to excess equity-based compensation and $4,001 related to provision to return adjustments. The benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were offset by discrete detriments of $6,584 related to prepaid income taxes on profit in inventory provided as of December 31, 2017 at a U.S. Federal Tax Rate of 35% that flowed through consolidated earnings in 2018 and $3,046 related to a valuation allowance reflected primarily for state tax credits that exceed state income taxes in specific states.

In addition to the discrete items above, the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 benefited from certain tax adjustments made in accordance with SAB 118. SAB 118 provided guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and allowed a measurement period of up to one year from enactment to complete the accounting under ASC 740. The Company reduced its annual effective rate because of changes in the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") tax calculation resulting from newly proposed regulations issued by the Treasury. The impact reduced the estimated tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 by $7,939, of which $4,747 had been reflected in tax expense as of June 30, 2018.

The Company accounts for its uncertain tax positions in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes. The Company continues to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits for nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:


	2019		2018
Balance at January 1,	$	11,206	$	10,370
Change in prior period positions	—		(1,067)
Additions for tax positions in current period	3,342		1,012
Foreign currency translation	(84)		(771)
Balance at September 30,	$	14,464	$	9,544

Substantially all of the liability for uncertain tax benefits related to various federal, state and foreign income tax matters would benefit the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the computation of diluted weighted average common shares excludes 975,700 and 349,700 common stock equivalents because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive. The shares excluded for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively are comprised of 167,200 and 73,600 restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 45,500 and 17,300 performance stock units ("PSUs"), and 763,000 and 258,800 non-qualified stock options, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the computation of diluted weighted average common shares excludes 768,000 and 256,500 common stock equivalents because the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive. The shares excluded for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively are comprised of 149,200 and 54,800 restricted stock units ("RSUs") and 40,800 and 14,000 performance stock units ("PSUs"), and 578,000 and 187,700 non-qualified stock options, respectively.

On February 12, 2019, the Company announced that its board of directors authorized a new anti-dilutive stock repurchase program (the "2019 Program") following the completion of its $125,000 repurchase program (the "2018 Program") authorized in July 2018. Under the 2019 Program, IPG is authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) the number of shares issued to employees and directors under the Company's various employee and director equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020 and (b) $125,000, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. Share repurchases will be made periodically in open market transactions using the Company's working capital, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The 2019 Program authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of its shares, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 180,620 shares of common stock under the 2019 Program with an average price of $130.87 per share in the open market. The impact on the reduction of weighted average shares for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 125,538 shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 196,000 shares of common stock under the 2019 Program with an average price of $132.25 per share in the open market. The impact on the reduction of weighted average shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 48,080 shares. As of September 30, 2019 the remaining amount authorized under the 2019 Program is up to $99,000, but may be less depending upon the equity compensation and employee stock purchase plan dilution during the 2019 Program. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 371,228 shares of its common stock under the 2018 Program with an average price of $163.95 per share in the open market. The impact on the reduction of weighted average shares for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was 119,911 shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 585,806 shares of its common stock with an average price of $191.06 per share in the open market. The impact on the reduction of weighted average shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 177,159 shares.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward looking statements that are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

We develop and manufacture a broad line of high-performance fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and diode lasers that are used in numerous applications, primarily in materials processing. In addition, we offer laser and non-laser based systems for certain markets and applications. We sell our products globally to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), system integrators and end users. We market our products internationally primarily through our direct sales force.

We are vertically integrated such that we design and manufacture most of the key components used in our finished products, from semiconductor diodes to optical fiber preforms, finished fiber lasers and amplifiers. We also manufacture certain complementary products used with our lasers, including optical delivery cables, fiber couplers, beam switches, optical processing heads and chillers.

Factors and Trends That Affect Our Operations and Financial Results

In reading our financial statements, you should be aware of the following factors and trends that our management believes are important in understanding our financial performance.

Net sales. We derive net sales primarily from the sale of fiber lasers and amplifiers. We also sell diode lasers, communications systems, laser and non-laser systems and complementary products. We sell our products through our direct sales organization and our network of distributors and sales representatives, as well as system integrators. We sell our products to OEMs that supply materials processing laser systems, communications systems, medical laser systems and other laser systems for advanced applications to end users. We also sell our products to end users that build their own systems, which incorporate our products or use our products as an energy or light source. Our scientists and engineers work closely with OEMs, systems integrators and end users to analyze their system requirements and match appropriate fiber laser or amplifier specifications. Our sales cycle varies substantially, ranging from a period of a few weeks to as long as one year or more, but is typically several months.

Sales of our products are, in general, recognized upon shipment, provided that no obligations remain and collection of the receivable is reasonably assured. Our sales typically are made on a purchase order basis rather than through long-term purchase commitments. Revenue from sales of customized robotic systems is recognized over time.

We develop our products to standard specifications and use a common set of components within our product architectures. Our major products are based upon a common technology platform. We continually enhance these and other products by improving their components and developing new components and new product designs.

The average selling prices of our products generally decrease as the products mature. These decreases result from factors such as increased competition, decreased manufacturing costs and increases in unit volumes, the introduction of new products and market share considerations. We may also reduce selling prices in order to penetrate new markets and applications. Furthermore, we negotiate discounted selling prices from time to time with certain customers that place high unit volume orders.

The secular shift to fiber laser technology in large materials processing applications, such as cutting applications, had a positive effect on our sales trends in the past such that our sales trends were often better than other capital equipment manufacturers in both positive and negative economic cycles. As the secular shift to fiber laser technology matures in such applications, our sales trends are more susceptible to economic cycles which affect other capital equipment manufacturers.

Gross margin. Our total gross margin in any period can be significantly affected by total net sales in any period, by product mix, by sales mix between OEM customers who purchase devices from us in high unit volumes and other customers, by mix of sales in different geographies, by competitive factors and by other factors such as changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, some of which are not under our control.

Historically, we have been able to offset decreasing average selling prices with reductions in the cost of our components, subassemblies and finished products that has enabled us either to maintain or increase gross margin. However, recent

Table of Contents

reductions in average selling price have been greater than the decrease in component and manufacturing costs which has resulted in a decrease in gross margin. The decrease in average selling prices over the last year has exceeded the historical average and has primarily been driven by increasing competition in the materials processing market. Further cost reductions, which may not be achieved, will be necessary in order for gross margin to increase.

Our gross margin can be significantly affected by product mix. Within each of our product categories, the gross margin is generally higher for devices with greater average power. These higher power products often have better performance, more difficult specifications to attain and fewer competing products in the marketplace. Higher power lasers also use a greater number of optical components, improving absorption of fixed overhead costs and enabling economies of scale in manufacturing. The gross margin for certain specialty products may be higher because there are fewer or sometimes no equivalent competing products. Customers that purchase devices in greater unit volumes generally receive lower prices per device than customers that purchase fewer units. These lower selling prices to high unit volume customers may be partially offset by the improved absorption of fixed overhead costs associated with larger product volumes, which drive economies of scale in manufacturing. Finally, gross margin on systems and communication components can be lower than margins for our laser and amplifier sources, depending on the configuration, volume and competitive forces, among other factors.

The mix of sales between OEM customers and other customers can affect gross margin because we provide sales price discounts on products based on the number of units ordered. As the number of OEM customers increase and the number of units ordered increases, the average sales price per unit will be reduced. We expect that the impact of reduced sales price per unit will be offset by the manufacturing efficiency provided by high unit volume orders, but the timing and extent of achieving these efficiencies may not always match the mix of sales in any given time period or be realized at all.

Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates can affect gross margin. Generally, when the U.S. Dollar weakens as compared to the Euro, Chinese Yuan or other foreign currencies in which our product is sold, it will benefit gross margin. When the U.S. dollar strengthens as compared to foreign currencies in which our product is sold, it will be a detriment to gross margin.

We also regularly review our inventory for items that are slow-moving, have been rendered obsolete or determined to be excess. Any provision for such slow-moving, obsolete or excess inventory affects our gross margins. For example, we recorded provisions for slow-moving, obsolete or excess inventory totaling $7.3 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $20.0 million and $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Selling and general and administrative expenses. In the past, the company has invested in selling and general and administrative costs in order to support continued growth in the company. As the secular shift to fiber laser technology matures, our sales growth becomes more susceptible to the cyclical trends typical of capital equipment manufacturers. Accordingly, our future management of and investments in selling and general and administrative expenses will also be influenced by these trends, although we may still invest in selling or general and administrative functions to support certain initiatives even in economic down cycles. Certain general and administrative expenses are not related to the level of sales and may vary quarter to quarter based primarily upon the level of acquisitions and litigation.

Research and development expenses. We plan to continue to invest in research and development to improve our existing components and products and develop new components, products, systems and applications technology. We believe that these investments will sustain our position as a leader in the fiber laser industry and will support development of new products that can address new markets and growth opportunities. The amount of research and development expense we incur may vary from period to period.

Cost reduction program. During the fourth quarter IPG will begin implementing a cost reduction program in response to continued global macroeconomic, competitive and geopolitical headwinds. The Company expects to reduce annualized manufacturing and operating expenses by approximately $30 million, with the full impact being achieved as it exits the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. As part of this program the Company will reduce global headcount by more than 300 positions and decrease other direct labor costs and expenses. IPG has implemented a hiring freeze and expects limited replacement of workforce attrition to result in further headcount reductions. IPG also anticipates consolidating a small number of facilities over time. These actions will result in restructuring charges of approximately $1 million primarily attributable to termination benefits, most of which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Long-lived assets impairments. We review our intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment at least annually. Negative industry or economic trends, including reduced estimates of future cash flows, disruptions to our business, slower growth rates, lack of growth in our relevant business units or differences in the estimated product acceptance rates could lead to impairment charges against our long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets.

Table of Contents

Our valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make significant judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and to rely heavily on projections of future operating performance at many points during the analysis. Also, the process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective. We operate in a highly competitive environment and projections of future operating results and cash flows may vary significantly from actual results. If our analysis indicates potential impairment to goodwill in one or more of our reporting units, we may be required to record additional charges to earnings in our financial statements, which could negatively affect our results of operations.

In particular, the telecommunications market continues to experience rapid changes in technology and competitive environment. IPG will perform its annual assessment of goodwill impairment, which occurs in the fourth quarter each year. Management is currently in the process of updating forecasts and completing strategic reviews related to its business units that have goodwill and other long-lived assets. While this process is not yet complete, the Company currently expects that impairment charges will be recorded in the fourth quarter, primarily related to the telecommunications business. The goodwill and other long-lived assets within the telecommunications business that are subject to assessment total approximately $60 million. The magnitude of any impairment charges depend on and are sensitive to our long term forecast models and assumptions used in the valuation process.

Foreign exchange. Because we are a U.S. based company doing business globally, we have both translational and transactional exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the relative exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies in which our subsidiaries operate directly affects our sales, costs and earnings. Differences in the relative exchange rates between where we sell our products and where we incur manufacturing and other operating costs (primarily in the U.S., Germany and Russia) also affects our costs and earnings. Certain currencies experiencing significant exchange rate fluctuations like the Euro, the Russian Ruble, the Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan have had and could have an additional significant impact on our sales, costs and earnings. Our ability to adjust the foreign currency selling prices of products in response to changes in exchange rates is limited and may not offset the impact of the changes in exchange rates on the translated value of sales or costs. In addition, if we increase the selling price of our products in local currencies, this could have a negative impact on the demand for our products.

Major customers. While we have historically depended on a few customers for a large percentage of our annual net sales, the composition of this group can change from year to year. Net sales derived from our five largest customers as a percentage of our net sales was 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 26%, 28% and 22% for the full years 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. One of our customers accounted for 9% and 13% of our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The same customer accounted for 29% and 25% of our net accounts receivable as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We seek to add new customers and to expand our relationships with existing customers. We anticipate that the composition of our significant customers will continue to change. If any of our significant customers substantially reduced their purchases from us, our results would be adversely affected.

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018

Net sales. Net sales decreased by $27.2 million, or 7.6%, to $329.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $356.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Materials processing

Sales for materials processing applications decreased due to lower sales from high power lasers, medium power lasers, QCW lasers, and pulsed lasers offset by increased revenue from laser and non-laser systems.

•The decline in high power lasers related to the decrease in sales of cutting and welding. Within cutting applications, decreased sales were driven by lower average selling prices and decreased sales to Asia and Europe. The decrease in sales of high power lasers used in welding applications was driven by decreased sales of welding applications into the traditional automotive industry as well as a decrease in average selling prices.

•The decrease in medium and low power sales related to weakness in laser sintering for metal-based additive manufacturing and fine cutting applications. The reduced revenue in fine cutting applications was due in part to the ongoing transition to kilowatt scale high power lasers for these applications.

•The decrease in pulsed laser sales was due to the decline in the average selling price of low power pulsed products and ultra-violet pulsed lasers, which were largely offset by the growth in high power pulsed products and green pulsed lasers.

•QCW laser sales decreased due to lower demand for fine processing and consumer electronics applications.

•The increase in laser and non-laser systems sales was largely due to the acquisition of Genesis and partially driven by growth in macro-systems for welding and cutting applications.

•The increase in other revenue within the Sales by Product chart above was driven by growth in service sales and accessories.

Other Applications

Sales from other applications increased due to a sales increase in medical sales related to surgical applications largely offset by a decrease in sales to telecom. Telecom sales decreased due to the decreased demand for transceivers.

Cost of sales and gross margin. Cost of sales increased by $15.1 million, or 9.4%, to $176.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $161.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our gross margin decreased to 46.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 54.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Gross margin decreased mainly due to a decrease in average selling prices and higher inventory provisions as compared to the third quarter of 2018. In addition, gross margin was impacted by an increase in unabsorbed manufacturing expense as a percentage of revenue in the third quarter of 2019 versus the year ago period. Product mix also reduced gross margins because the systems sold by Genesis, a business that we acquired in December 2018, have a lower gross margin than the core laser business. The acquisition of Genesis reduced gross margin by 1.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense increased by $5.5 million, or 40.7%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared with $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The majority of this change was a result of additional sales and marketing expenses of new acquisitions, including Genesis, as well as increases in salaries and benefits and depreciation. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expense increased to 5.8% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 3.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Research and development expense. Research and development expense increased by $1.3 million, or 4.2%, to $32.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This change was primarily a result of increases in personnel and R&D materials, partially offset by reductions in contractor expense. Research and development continues to focus on developing new products, enhancing performance of

Table of Contents

existing components, improving production processes and developing manufacturing of new components such as crystals and refining production processes to improve manufacturing yields and productivity. New products include lasers that operate at different wavelengths such as UV, visible and mid-IR, lasers with ultrafast pulses, laser based systems for material processing, projection, display and medical as well as accessories such as welding and cutting heads. In addition to new products, research and development is focused on enhancing the performance of our existing products by improving their electrical efficiency and increasing their average power. As a percentage of sales, research and development expense increased to 9.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 8.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense increased by $1.6 million, or 6.3%, to $26.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This change was primarily a result of the acquisition of Genesis as well as increases in salaries, partially offset by reductions in bad debt expense. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense increased to 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 7.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Effect of exchange rates on net sales, gross profit and operating expenses. We estimate that, if exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar had been the same as one year ago, which were on average Euro 0.86, Russian Ruble 66, Japanese Yen 111 and Chinese Yuan 6.81, respectively, we would have expected net sales to be $7.9 million higher, gross profit to be $4.2 million higher and total operating expenses to be $0.3 million higher.

Loss (gain) on foreign exchange. We incurred a foreign exchange loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a $1.7 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The foreign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to depreciation of the Chinese Yuan and the Brazilian Real, partially offset by a gain attributable to the depreciation of the Russian Ruble and the Euro as compared to the U.S. Dollar. The foreign exchange loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the depreciation of the Chinese Yuan offset by a gain attributable to depreciation of the Russian Ruble as compared to the U.S. Dollar.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes was $20.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $27.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The effective tax rates were 26.2% and 21.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. There were net discrete tax benefits of $5.4 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in the effective rate in 2019 is due in part to an increase in the forecasted share of profits earned in countries with higher tax rates in 2019 and in part due to a reduction in the 2018 annual effective rate, as allowed by SAB 118, due to an adjustment in the third quarter related to new regulations published in September 2018 regarding the U.S. taxation of foreign earnings under the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

Net income attributable to IPG Photonics Corporation. Net income attributable to IPG Photonics Corporation decreased by $43.2 million to $57.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $100.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net income attributable to IPG Photonics Corporation as a percentage of our net sales decreased by 10.8 percentage points to 17.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from 28.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to the factors described above.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018

Net sales. Net sales decreased by $121.8 million, or 10.8%, to $1,008.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $1,129.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Materials processing

Sales for materials processing applications decreased due to lower sales of high power lasers, medium power lasers, QCW lasers, and pulsed lasers, offset partially by increased revenue from laser and non-laser systems.

•The decline in high power lasers related to the decrease in sales of cutting, laser sintering, and welding applications. Within cutting applications, decreased sales were driven by lower average selling prices and weaker demand in China and Europe. The decrease in sales of high power lasers used in welding applications was driven by decreased sales of welding applications into the traditional automotive industry as well as a decrease in average selling prices. Within the laser sintering business, decreased sales were driven by weaker sales in Western Europe.

•The decrease in medium and low power sales related to weakness in fine cutting applications and laser sintering for metal-based additive manufacturing. The reduced revenue in fine cutting applications was due in part to the ongoing transition to kilowatt scale high power lasers for these applications.

•QCW laser sales decreased due to lower demand for consumer electronics and drilling applications.

•The decrease in pulsed laser sales was due to the decline in the average selling price of low power and ultra-violet pulsed products, which were largely offset by the growth in green and ultrafast pulsed lasers.

•The increase in laser and non-laser systems sales was largely due to the acquisition of Genesis and partially driven by growth in macro-systems for welding and cutting applications.

•Other Revenue sales increased compared to last year due to the increased sales of parts, service, and accessories.

Other Applications

Sales from other applications decreased due to sales declines in government, semiconductor, scientific, and telecom, partially offset by slight growth in the instrument and medical markets. Within advanced applications, government sales decreased largely primarily due to a decrease in sales for directed energy applications. Telecom sales decreased due to the lower sales of transceivers and amplifiers.

Cost of sales and gross margin. Cost of sales increased by $29.6 million, or 6.0%, to $525.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $496.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our gross margin decreased to 47.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 56.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Gross margin decreased mainly due a decrease in average selling prices and higher inventory provisions as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In addition, gross margin was impacted by lower absorption of manufacturing expenses in the first three quarters of 2019 versus the year ago period. Product mix also reduced gross margins because the systems sold by Genesis, a business that we acquired in December 2018, have a lower gross margin than the core laser business. The acquisition of Genesis reduced gross margin by 2.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense increased by $17.4 million, or 41.9%, to $58.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $41.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of sales and marketing expenses for new acquisitions, including Genesis, as well as increases in salaries and benefits, depreciation and other selling expenses. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expense increased to 5.8% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 3.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Research and development expense. Research and development expense increased by $8.2 million, or 9.0%, to $99.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $91.3 million for the nine months ended September 30,

2018, primarily as a result of an increase in expenses related to personnel, materials used for research and development projects, consultants, outside processing, leasing, information systems, and depreciation, partially offset by reductions in contractor expense. Research and development continues to focus on developing new products, enhancing performance of existing components, improving production processes and developing manufacturing of new components such as crystals and refining production processes to improve manufacturing yields and productivity. New products include lasers that operate at different wavelengths such as UV, visible and mid-IR, lasers with ultrafast pulses, laser based systems for material processing, projection, display and medical as well as accessories such as welding and cutting heads. In addition to new products, research and development is focused on enhancing the performance of our existing products by improving their electrical efficiency and increasing their average power. As a percentage of sales, research and development expense increased to 9.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 8.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense increased by $7.6 million, or 10.1%, to $82.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $74.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Genesis and increased expenses for personnel, information technology, depreciation and insurance. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expense increased to 8.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 6.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Effect of exchange rates on net sales, gross profit and operating expenses. We estimate that, if exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar had been the same as one year ago, which were on average Euro 0.84, Russian Ruble 61, Japanese Yen 110 and Chinese Yuan 6.52, respectively, we would have expected net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to be $40.8 million higher, gross profit to be $22.3 million higher and total operating expenses would have been $4.6 million higher.

(Gain) Loss on foreign exchange. We incurred a foreign exchange loss of $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to a gain of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to appreciation of the Russian Ruble, the depreciation of the Chinese Yuan and the Brazilian Real, partially offset by a gain attributable to depreciation of the Euro as compared to the U.S. Dollar. The gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to depreciation of the Euro and Russian Ruble compared to the U.S. Dollar, which was partially offset by a loss attributable to depreciation of the Chinese Yuan.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes was $60.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $104.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing an effective tax rate of 24.8% and 24.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the net discrete tax benefits were $8.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

Net income attributable to IPG Photonics Corporation. Net income attributable to IPG Photonics Corporation decreased by $143.8 million to $184.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $328.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net income attributable to IPG Photonics Corporation as a percentage of our net sales decreased by 10.8 percentage points to 18.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from 29.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity as of September 30, 2019 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $580.3 million, short-term investments of $498.5 million, unused credit lines and overdraft facilities of $104.1 million and other working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments) of $581.1 million. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $544.4 million, short-term investments of $500.4 million, unused credit lines and overdraft facilities of $107.4 million and other working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments) of $514.9 million as of December 31, 2018. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $35.9 million relates primarily to cash used in investing activities of $111.2 million and cash used in financing activities of $27.0 million, offset by cash provided by operating activities of $193.6 million. In addition, the effect of exchange rates decreased cash and cash equivalents by $16.6 million.

Short-term investments at September 30, 2019, consist of liquid investments including U.S. government and government agency notes, corporate notes, non-U.S. government notes, commercial paper and certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than three months but less than one year. We also hold long-term investments, included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which consist of auction rate securities totaling $0.6 million.

Our long-term debt consists of two long-term notes with a combined total outstanding balance at September 30, 2019 of $42.6 million of which $3.7 million is the current portion. We have an unsecured long-term note with an outstanding principal balance at September 30, 2019 of $19.9 million, of which $1.2 million is the current portion. The interest on this unsecured

Table of Contents

long-term note is variable at 1.2% above LIBOR and is fixed using an interest rate swap at 2.9% per annum. The unsecured long-term note matures in May 2023, at which time the outstanding principal balance will be $15.4 million. We have another long-term note that is secured by our corporate aircraft with an outstanding principal balance of $22.7 million, of which $2.5 million is the current portion. The interest on this collateralized long-term note is fixed at 2.7% per annum. The collateralized long-term note matures in July 2022, at which time the outstanding principal balance will be $15.4 million.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, our cash flows from operations and our existing lines of credit provide us with the financial flexibility to meet our liquidity and capital needs, as well as to complete certain acquisitions of businesses and technologies. We intend to continue to pursue acquisition opportunities based upon market conditions and the strategic importance and valuation of the target company. We may consider issuing debt or equity to finance acquisitions depending on the timing and size of the acquisition. Our future long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors including our level of sales, the impact of the economic environment on our sales growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of the global sales and marketing activities, government regulation including trade sanctions, the timing and introductions of new products, the need to ensure access to adequate manufacturing capacity and the continuing market acceptance of our products.

(1) This facility is available to certain foreign subsidiaries in their respective local currencies. At September 30, 2019, there were no amounts drawn on this line, however, there were $1.1 million of guarantees issued against the line which reduces total availability.

(2) This facility is also available to certain foreign subsidiaries in their respective local currencies. At September 30, 2019, there were no drawings on this facility, however, there were $1.6 million of guarantees issued against the line which reduces total availability.

(3) At September 30, 2019, there were no drawings. This facility renews annually.

Our largest committed credit lines are with Bank of America N.A. and Deutsche Bank AG in the amounts of $50.0 million and $54.6 million (or 50 million Euro as described above), respectively, and neither of them is syndicated.

We are required to meet certain financial covenants associated with our U.S. revolving line of credit and long-term debt facility. These covenants, tested quarterly, include a debt service coverage ratio and a funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio. The debt service coverage covenant requires that we maintain a trailing twelve-month ratio of cash flow to debt service that is at least 1.5:1. Debt service is defined as required principal and interest payments during the period. Debt service in the calculation is decreased by our cash held in the U.S.A. in excess of $50 million up to a maximum of $250 million. Cash flow is defined as EBITDA less unfunded capital expenditures. The funded debt to EBITDA covenant requires that the sum of all indebtedness for borrowed money on a consolidated basis be less than three times our trailing twelve months EBITDA. We were in compliance with all such financial covenants as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

The financial covenants in our loan documents may cause us to not make or to delay investments and actions that we might otherwise undertake because of limits on capital expenditures and amounts that we can borrow or lease. In the event that we do not comply with any one of these covenants, we would be in default under the loan agreement or loan agreements, which may result in acceleration of the debt, cross-defaults on other debt or a reduction in available liquidity, any of which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $86.7 million to $193.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $280.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our largest working capital items are inventory and accounts receivable. Items such as accounts payable to third parties, prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities are not as significant as our working capital investment in accounts

receivable and inventory because of the amount of value added within IPG due to our vertically integrated structure. Accruals and payables for personnel costs including bonuses and income and other taxes payable are largely dependent on the timing of payments for those items. The decreased cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily resulted from:

•A decrease of $113.8 million in cash provided by net income after adding back non-cash charges to $325.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $438.9 million for the same period in 2018;

•An increase in cash used by income taxes. Cash used by income and other taxes payable was $49.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to cash provided by income and other taxes payable of $15.8 million for the same period in 2018 due to timing of tax payments in Germany; partially offset by

•A decrease in the cash used for inventory of $51.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $122.1 million for the same period in 2018.

•A decrease in the cash used by accounts receivable of $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $26.1 million for the same period in 2018;

Given our vertical integration, rigorous and time-consuming testing procedures for both internally manufactured and externally purchased components and the lead time required to manufacture components used in our finished products, the rate at which we turn inventory has historically been comparatively low when compared to our cost of sales. Also, our historic growth rates required investment in inventories to support future sales and enable us to quote short delivery times to our customers, providing what we believe is a competitive advantage. Furthermore, if there was a disruption to the manufacturing capacity of any of our key technologies, our inventories of components should enable us to continue to build finished products for a period of time. We believe that we will continue to maintain a relatively high level of inventory compared to our cost of sales. As a result, we expect to have a significant amount of working capital invested in inventory. A reduction in our level of net sales or the rate of growth of our net sales from their current levels would mean that the rate at which we are able to convert our inventory into cash would decrease.

Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $111.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $416.9 million in 2018. The cash used in investing activities in 2019 related to $107.5 million of capital expenditures, $15.1 million for acquisition of business, partially offset by $10.8 million of net proceeds from short-term investments. The cash used in investing activities in 2018 related to $133.4 million of capital expenditures, $280.2 million of net purchases of short-term and long-term investments and $4.4 million for acquisition of business.

We expect to incur less than $150 million in 2019 in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures include investments in facilities and equipment to add capacity in selected countries, add redundancy in specialized manufacturing and support our research and development efforts. The timing and extent of any capital expenditures in and between periods can have a significant effect on our cash flow. If we obtain financing for certain projects, our cash expenditures would be reduced in the year of expenditure. Many of the capital expenditure projects that we undertake have long lead times and are difficult to cancel or defer to a later period.

Financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $27.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to net cash used of $102.1 million in 2018. The cash used in financing activities in 2019 was primarily related to the purchase of treasury stock of $25.9 million and $2.7 million of principal payments on our long-term borrowings. The cash used in financing activities in 2018 was primarily related to the purchase of treasury stock of $111.9 million, partially offset by proceeds of $12.1 million from the exercise of stock options net of amounts disbursed in relation to shares withheld to cover employee income taxes due upon the vesting and release of restricted stock units.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of business, which consists primarily of interest rate risk associated with our cash and cash equivalents and our debt and foreign exchange rate risk.

Interest rate risk. Certain interest rates are variable and fluctuate with current market conditions. Our investments have limited exposure to market risk. We maintain a portfolio of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, consisting primarily of bank deposits, money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and government and agency securities. None of these investments have a maturity date in excess of one year. Because of the short-term nature of these instruments, a sudden change in market interest rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We also have long-term investments in auction rate securities with maturities greater than 5 years. Given the modest amount of our long-term investments of $0.6 million and the fact that we expect to hold these investments to maturity, we do not believe that a 10% change in market interest rates would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We are also exposed to market risk as a result of increases or decreases in the amount of interest expense we must pay on our bank debt and borrowings on our bank credit facilities. Our interest obligations on our long-term debt are fixed either by the underlying agreement or by means of an interest rate swap agreement. Although our U.S. revolving line of credit and our Euro credit facility have variable rates, we do not believe that a 10% change in market interest rates would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Exchange rates. Due to our international operations, a significant portion of our net sales, cost of sales and operating expenses are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, principally the Euro, the Russian Ruble, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen. As a result, our international operations give rise to transactional market risk associated with exchange rate movements of the U.S. Dollar, the Euro, the Russian Ruble, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen. The loss on foreign exchange transactions totaled $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Management attempts to minimize these exposures by partially or fully off-setting foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at our subsidiaries that operate in different functional currencies. The effectiveness of this strategy can be limited by the volume of underlying transactions at various subsidiaries and by our ability to accelerate or delay inter-company cash settlements. As a result, we are unable to create a perfect offset of the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. At September 30, 2019, our material foreign currency exposure is net U.S. Dollar denominated assets at subsidiaries where the Euro or the Russian Ruble is the functional currency and U.S. Dollar denominated liabilities where the Chinese Yuan is the functional currency. The U.S. Dollar denominated assets are comprised of cash, third party receivables and inter-company receivables. The U.S. Dollar denominated liabilities are comprised of inter-company payables. A 5% change in the relative exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar to the Euro as of September 30, 2019 applied to the net U.S. Dollar asset balances, would result in a foreign exchange gain of $6.3 million if the U.S. Dollar appreciated and a $6.3 million foreign exchange loss if the U.S. Dollar depreciated. A 5% change in the relative exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar to the Chinese Yuan as of September 30, 2019 applied to the net U.S. Dollar liabilities balances, would result in a foreign exchange loss of $7.4 million if the U.S. Dollar appreciated and a $7.4 million foreign exchange gain if the U.S. Dollar depreciated.

Table of Contents

In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency translation risk for those subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar as changes in the value of their functional currency relative to the U.S. Dollar can adversely affect the translated amounts of our revenue, expenses, net income, assets and liabilities. This can, in turn, affect the reported value and relative growth of sales and net income from one period to the next. In addition, changes in the translated value of assets and liabilities due to changes in functional currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar result in foreign currency translation adjustments that are a component of other comprehensive income or loss.

Foreign currency derivative instruments can also be used to hedge exposures and reduce the risks of certain foreign currency transactions; however, these instruments provide only limited protection and can carry significant cost. We have no foreign currency derivative instruments as of September 30, 2019. We will continue to analyze our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations and may engage in financial hedging techniques in the future to attempt to minimize the effect of these potential fluctuations. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our financial results in the future.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) In 2012, our Board of Directors approved "withhold to cover" as a tax payment method for vesting of restricted stock awards for certain employees. Pursuant to the "withhold to cover" method, we withheld from such employees the shares noted in the table above to cover tax withholding related to the vesting of their awards. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 a total of 1,711 shares were withheld at an average price of $120.58.

(2) On February 12, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new anti-dilutive stock repurchase program (the "2019 Program") following the completion of our $125 million repurchase program authorized in July 2018. Under the 2019 Program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (a) the number of shares issued to employees and directors under the Company's various employee and director equity compensation and employee stock purchase plans from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020 and (b) $125 million, exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses. Share repurchases may be made periodically in open-market transactions using the Company's working capital, and are subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. The 2019 Program authorization does not obligate us to repurchase any dollar amount or number of our shares, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended from time to time without prior notice. We repurchased 180,620 shares in the third quarter of 2019 under the 2019 Program.
