Segment Information
for net sales by segment and countries.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on product sales in the period in which the Company satisfies its performance obligation and control of the product is transferred to the customer. The Company’s sales arrangements with customers are predominately short term in nature and generally provide for transfer of control at the time of shipment as this is the point at which title and risk of loss of the product transfers to the customer. At the end of each period, for those shipments where title to the products and the risk of loss and rewards of ownership do not transfer until the product has been received by the customer, the Company adjusts revenues and cost of sales for the delay between the time that the products are shipped and when they are received by the customer. The amount of revenue recorded reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods and may include adjustments for customer allowance, rebates and price adjustments. The Company’s distribution channels are primarily through direct sales and independent third-party distributors.
The Company elected the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year.
Revenue and Billing
The Company generally accepts orders from customers through receipt of purchase orders or electronic data interchange based on written sales agreements and purchasing contracts. Contract pricing and selling agreement terms are based on market factors, costs, and competition. Pricing is often negotiated as an adjustment (premium or discount) from the Company’s published price lists. The customer is invoiced when the Company’s products are shipped to them in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company also elected the practical expedient provided in ASC 606-10-25-18B to treat all product shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and therefore recognize the gross revenue associated with the contract, inclusive of any shipping and handling revenue.
Ship and Debit Program
Some of the terms of the Company’s sales agreements and normal business conditions provide customers (distributors) the ability to receive price adjustments on products previously shipped and invoiced. This practice is common in the industry and is referred to as a “ship and debit” program. This program allows the distributor to debit the Company for the difference between the distributors’ contracted price and a lower price for specific transactions. Under certain circumstances (usually in a competitive situation or large volume opportunity), a distributor will request authorization for pricing allowances to reduce its price. When the Company approves such a reduction, the distributor is authorized to “debit” its account for the difference between the contracted price and the lower approved price. The Company establishes reserves for this program based on

historic activity, electronic distributor inventory levels and actual authorizations for the debit and recognizes these debits as a reduction of revenue.
Return to Stock
The Company has a return to stock policy whereby certain customers, with prior authorization from Littelfuse management, can return previously purchased goods for full or partial credit. The Company establishes an estimated allowance for these returns based on historic activity. Sales revenue and cost of sales are reduced to anticipate estimated returns.
Volume Rebates
The Company offers volume based sales incentives to certain customers to encourage greater product sales. If customers achieve their specific quarterly or annual sales targets, they are entitled to rebates. The Company estimates the projected amount of rebates that will be achieved by the customer and recognizes this estimated cost as a reduction to revenue as products are sold.

Adopted
Accounting Standards
In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2021-10, "Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance". The standard, requires annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy: 1) Information about the nature of the transactions and the related accounting policy used to account for the transactions; 2) The line items on the balance sheet and income statement that are affected by the transactions, and the amounts applicable to each financial statement line item; 3) Significant terms and conditions of the transactions, including commitments and contingencies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2021-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers". The standard requires an entity (acquirer) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

in the commercial vehicle business within the Company's Transportation segment. The acquisition was funded with the Company’s cash on hand. The total purchase consideration was $
9.2
million, net of cash.
Carling Technologies
On November 30, 2021, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Carling Technologies, Inc. (“Carling”), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2021. Founded in 1920, Carling has a leading position in switching and circuit protection technologies with a strong global presence in commercial vehicle, marine and datacom/telecom infrastructure markets. At the time of acquisition, Carling had annualized sales of approximately $
170
million. The operations of Carling are included in the commercial vehicle business within the Company's Transportation segment. The purchase price for Carling Technologies was approximately $
315.5
million subject to a working capital adjustment.
The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The total purchase consideration of $
314.1
million, net of cash, has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on preliminary estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. The primary area not yet finalized relates to the completion of the valuation of certain acquired income tax assets and liabilities. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as the valuations are finalized.
The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Carling acquisition:

All Carling goodwill, other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Transportation segment and are reflected in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic areas. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining Carling’s products and technology with the Company’s existing commercial vehicle products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the Carling acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
During the six months ended July 2, 2022, the Company paid $
0.5
million related to final working capital adjustment and made measurement period adjustments to reduce the fair value of property, plant and equipment of $
7.0
million, inventories of $
0.8
million, net accounts receivable of $
0.6
million and an increase in intangible assets attributable to customer relationships intangible assets of $
0.5
million. As a result of these adjustments along with a corresponding reduction of deferred tax liabilities of $
1.7
million, goodwill was increased by $
5.6
million.
As required by purchase accounting rules, the Company recorded a $
6.4
million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation. The step-up was amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of sales during the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022, as the acquired inventory was sold, and reflected as other non-segment costs. The Company recognized a non-cash charge of $
4.8
million to cost of sales during the six months ended July 2, 2022.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
On June 30, 2022, the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement”) to effect certain changes, including, among other changes: (i) adding a $
300
million unsecured term loan credit facility; (ii) making certain financial and non-financial covenants less restrictive on the Company and its subsidiaries; (iii) replacing LIBOR-based interest rate benchmarks and modifying performance-based interest rate margins; and (iv) extending the maturity date to June 30, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, increase the size of the revolving credit facility or enter into one or more tranches of term loans in minimum increments of $
25
million if there is no event of default and the Company is in compliance with certain financial covenants.
Loans made under the available credit facility pursuant to the Credit Agreement ("the Credit Facility") bear interest at the Company’s option, at either Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), fixed for interest periods of one, two, three or six-month periods, plus
1.00
% to
1.75
%, plus a SOFR adjustment of
0.10
% or at the bank’s Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement,, plus
—
% to
0.75
%, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company is also required to pay commitment fees on unused portions of the Credit Facility ranging from
0.10
% to
0.175
%, based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature.
Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the Maturity Date, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. The Company borrowed $
300.0
million under a term loan on June 30, 2022. The principal balance of the term loans must be repaid in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter in the amount of $
1.9
million commencing September 30, 2022, through June 30, 2024, and in the amount of $
3.8
million commencing September 30, 2024, through March 31, 2027, with the remaining outstanding principal balance payable in full on the Maturity Date. Accrued interest on the loans is payable in arrears on each interest payment date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified in the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain conditions, (i) the Company may terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, as defined in the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, and (ii) the Company may prepay the revolving loans or the term loans at any time, without premium or penalty. The revolving loan and term loan balance under the Credit Facility was $
100.0
million and $
300.0
million, respectively, as of July 2, 2022.
On May 12, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively converting the interest rate on the Company's SOFR based floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate. The interest rate swap, with a notional value of $
200
million, was designated as a cash flow hedge against the variability of cash flows associated with the Company's SOFR based loans scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about valuation based on the best information available in the circumstances. Depending on the inputs, the Company classifies each fair value measurement as follows:
Level 1
—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2
—Valuations based upon quoted prices for similar instruments, prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations, all of whose significant inputs are observable, and
Level 3
—Valuations based upon one or more significant unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds, which are held with an institution with sound credit rating and are highly liquid. The Company classified cash equivalents as Level 1 and are valued at cost which approximates fair value.
Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the last sales price and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy and recorded in Investments and Other long-term assets.
Derivatives
On May 12, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively converting the interest rate on the Company's SOFR based floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate. The interest rate swap, with a notional value of $
200
million, was designated as a cash flow hedge against the variability of cash flows associated with the Company's SOFR based loans scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027. The fair value of the interest rate swap was valued using an independent third-party valuation model.
Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings.
The primary inputs into the valuation of the interest rate swap are interest yield curves, interest rate volatility, credit risk, credit spreads and other market information. The interest rate swap is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, since all significant inputs are corroborated by market observable data. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period.
The use of derivatives creates exposure to credit risk relating to potential losses that could be recognized in the event that the counterparties to these instruments fail to perform their obligations under the contracts. The Company seeks to minimize this risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings and monitoring the total value of positions with individual counterparties. In the event of a default by one of our counterparties, the Company may not receive payments provided for under the terms of our derivatives.
As of July 2, 2022, the fair values of our derivative financial instrument and their classifications on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows:

The Company has a non-qualified Supplemental Retirement and Savings Plan which provides additional retirement benefits for certain management employees and named executive officers by allowing participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation. The Company maintains accounts for participants through which participants make investment elections. The marketable securities are classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy as they are maintained in mutual funds with readily determinable fair value and recorded in Other long-term assets.
There we
re no changes during the quarter ended July 2, 2022 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values o

In addition to the methods and assumptions used for the financial instruments recorded at fair value as discussed above, the following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments that are not marked to market on a recurring basis. The Company’s other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and its long-term debt. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable approximate their fair values. The Company’s Credit Facilities’ fair values approximate book value at July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, as the rates on these borrowings are variable in nature.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the

20.6
% and
16.1
%
, respectively, compared to the effective tax rate for the
three and six months ended June 26, 2021 of
13.8
% and
16.7
%
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
second quarter of 2022
is higher than the effective tax rate for the comparable
2021
period, primarily due to foreign exchange losses with no related tax benefit in the 2022 period, as compared to foreign exchange gains with limited tax expense during the comparable 2021 period.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of the 2022 period is lower than the applicable U.S. statutory tax rate due to a one-time deduction that resulted from the dissolution of one of the Company’s affiliates, as well as the forecasted impact of income earned in lower tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the comparable 2021 period is lower than the applicable U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the forecasted impact of income earned in lower tax jurisdictions.

Segment Information
The Company and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and sell component, modules and subassemblies to empower the long-term structural themes of sustainability, connectivity and safety. The Company reports its operations by the following segments: Electronics, Transportation, and Industrial. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest and taxes, but does not evaluate the operating segments using discrete balance sheet information.
Sales, marketing, and research and development expenses are charged directly into each operating segment. Purchasing, logistics, customer service, finance, information technology, and human resources are shared functions that are allocated back to the
three
operating segments. The Company does not report inter-segment revenue because the operating segments do not record it. Certain expenses, determined by the CODM to be strategic in nature and not directly related to segments current results, are not allocated but identified as “Other”. Additionally, the Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, or taxes to operating segments. These costs are not allocated to the segments, as management excludes such costs when assessing the performance of the segments. Although the CODM uses operating income (loss) to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

Executive Summary
For the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized net sales of $618.4 million, an increase of $94.9 million, or 18.1% as compared to $523.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher volumes in the Electronics and Industrial segments and $57.8 million or 11.0% of net sales from the Carling acquisition within the Transportation segment, partially offset by $16.4 million or 3.1% of unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company recognized net income of $87.0 million, or $3.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $82.1 million, or $3.30 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net income reflects higher operating income of $37.9 million primarily due to an increase in operating income of $31.7 million in the Electronics segment partially offset by higher foreign exchange losses of $15.8 million and higher unrealized losses of $9.1 million associated with the Company’s equity investment.
Supply chain constraints, including material and transportation capacity shortages have and are expected to continue to impact the Company, its suppliers and its customers.
This has resulted in higher transportation and input costs incurred by the Company.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $165.3 million for the six months ended July 2, 2022 as compared to $126.3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher cash earnings, partially offset by increases in working capital resulting from higher sales growth and higher annual incentive bonus payments made in 2022 as compared to 2021.
On June 30, 2022, the Company amended its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement”) to effect certain changes, including, among other changes: (i) adding a $300 million unsecured term loan credit facility; (ii) making certain financial and non-financial covenants less restrictive on the Company and its subsidiaries; (iii) replacing LIBOR-based interest rate benchmarks and modifying performance-based interest rate margins; and (iv) extending the maturity date to June 30, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, increase the size of the revolving credit facility or enter into one or more tranches of term loans in minimum increments of $25 million if there is no event of default and the Company is in compliance with certain financial covenants.
On July 19, 2022, t
he Company acquired C&K Switches (“C&K”) for $540 million in cash. Founded in 1928, C&K is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance electromechanical switches and interconnect solutions with a strong global presence across a broad range of end markets, including industrial, transportation, aerospace, and datacom. At the time the Company and C&K entered into the definitive agreement, C&K had annualized sales of over $200 million. The business will be reported as part of the Electronics-Passive Products and Sensors business within the Company's Electronics segment. The Company financed the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and debt.
On July 28, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 13% increase in the quarterly cash dividend from $0.53 to $0.60 per share, payable on September 8, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 25, 2022.
Impact of COVID-19 on Business
The effects from COVID-19 continue to drive higher ongoing costs including spending on personal protective equipment ("PPE"), additional personnel and employee transportation costs, and manufacturing inefficiencies as well as an increase in material costs and transportation costs due to global supply chain and logistics constraints around the world.

During the second quarter of 2022, the outbreak of COVID-19 in China in late March resulted in the temporary shut-down of certain of the Company's China manufacturing facilities during April and May. The Company's other manufacturing facilities were operational and were generally running at normal capacity levels. The financial impact of these shut-downs was modest to the Company’s financial results during the second quarter of 2022.
The Company anticipates that the disruptions caused by COVID-19 may continue to impact its business activity for the foreseeable future. It is currently difficult to estimate the magnitude of the COVID-19 disruption, if future disruptions will occur due to a further resurgence in COVID-19 cases and its impact on the Company's employees, customers, suppliers and vendors. The Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions altering its business operations that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and other stakeholders, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on the Company's business and operations, including the effects on its customers, employees, and prospects, or on the Company's financial results for the fiscal year 2022.
Risks Related to Market Conditions
The Company continues to operate in a more volatile macro environment given events related to the war in Ukraine. The company does not have any direct operations in Ukraine or Russia. The war has had a modest impact on the Company, including higher transportation costs due to the Company modifying its shipping logistics as well as suspending sales into and purchases from Russia. Additionally, the war has impacted certain OEM customers who have had lower production levels due to shut-downs and ongoing material shortages.
Results of Operations
The following table summarizes the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented. The second quarter of 2022 includes $4.8 million ($8.6 million year-to-date) of legal and professional fees primarily related to the acquisition of C&K and other integration expenses related to completed and contemplated acquisitions, and $0.6 million ($0.8 million year-to-date) of restructuring, impairment and other charges, primarily related to employee termination costs, and $4.8 million year-to-date of purchase accounting inventory step-up charges. See Note 7,
Restructuring, Impairment, and Other Charges,
for further discussion..
The second quarter of 2021 includes $3.3 million ($6.8 million year-to-date) of purchase accounting inventory step-up charges, $0.5 million ($1.3 million year-to-date) of legal and professional fees and other integration expenses related to Hartland and other contemplated acquisitions, and $0.8 million ($1.3 million year-to-date) of restructuring, impairment and other charges, primarily related to employee termination costs. See Note 7,
Restructuring, Impairment, and Other Charges,
for further discussion. In addition, there was a loss of $1.0 million recorded during the second quarter of 2021 for a total year-to-date gain of $0.9 million from the sale of a building within the Electronics segment.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 is higher than the effective tax rate for the comparable 2021 period, primarily due to foreign exchange losses noted above with no related tax benefit in the 2022 period, as compared to foreign exchange gains with limited tax expense during the comparable 2021 period.
Income tax expense for the first six months of 2022 was $39.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 16.1%, compared to income tax expense of $28.1 million, or an effective tax rate of 16.7%, for the first six months of 2021. The effective tax rate for the first six months of the 2022 period is lower than the applicable U.S. statutory tax rate due to a one-time deduction that resulted from the dissolution of one o
f the Company’s affiliates, as well as the forecasted impact of income earned in lower tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the comparable
2021
period is lower than the applicable U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the forecasted impact of income earned in lower tax jurisdictions.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan
On June 30, 2022, the Company amended and restated its Credit Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2020 (the “Credit Agreement”) to effect certain changes, including, among other changes: (i) adding a $300 million unsecured term loan credit facility; (ii) making certain financial and non-financial covenants less restrictive on the Company and its subsidiaries; (iii) replacing LIBOR-based interest rate benchmarks and modifying performance-based interest rate margins; and (iv) extending the maturity date to June 30, 2027 (the “Maturity Date”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may, from time to time, increase the size of the revolving credit facility or enter into one or more tranches of term loans in minimum increments of $25 million if there is no event of default and the Company is in compliance with certain financial covenants.
Loans made under the available credit facility pursuant to the Credit Agreement ("the Credit Facility") bear interest at the Company’s option, at either Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), fixed for interest periods of one, two, three or six-month periods, plus 1.00% to 1.75%, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% or at the bank’s Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement,, plus —% to 0.75%, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company is also required to pay commitment fees on unused portions of the Credit Facility ranging from 0.10% to 0.175%, based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement includes representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature.
Revolving loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed until the Maturity Date, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. The Company borrowed $300.0 million under a term loan on June 30, 2022. The principal balance of the term loans must be repaid in quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter in the amount of $1.9 million commencing September 30, 2022, through June 30, 2024, and in the amount of $3.8 million commencing September 30, 2024, through March 31, 2027, with the remaining outstanding principal balance payable in full on the Maturity Date. Accrued interest on the loans is payable in arrears on each interest payment date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified in the Credit Agreement. Subject to certain conditions, (i) the Company may terminate or reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, as defined in the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, and (ii) the Company may prepay the revolving loans or the term loans at any time, without premium or penalty. The revolving loan and term loan balance under the Credit Facility was $100.0 million and $300.0 million, respectively, as of July 2, 2022.
On May 12, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively converting the interest rate on the Company's SOFR based floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate. The interest rate swap, with a notional value of $200 million, was designated as a cash flow hedge against the variability of cash flows associated with the Company's SOFR based loans scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027.
As of July 2, 2022, the effective interest rate on revolving loan and term loan outstanding borrowings was 2.875%.
