FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(in thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the manufacturing, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 4D, 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss).

NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any future period.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The accompanying December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis under Accounting Standards Codification 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in ASU 2023-07 should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which improves income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 indicates that all entities will apply its guidance prospectively with an option for retroactive application to each period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.

For revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software, we allocate the contract price to performance obligations based on our best estimate of the standalone selling price. We make this allocation estimate utilizing data from the sale of our applicable products and services to customers separately in similar circumstances. Revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software is generally recognized upon shipment from our facilities or when delivered to the customer location, as determined by the agreed upon shipping terms, at which time we are entitled to payment and title and control has passed to the customer. Software arrangements generally include short-term maintenance that is considered post-contract support (“PCS”), which is considered to be product transferred to the customer over time and a separate performance obligation. We generally establish a standalone sales price for this PCS component based on our maintenance renewal rate. Maintenance renewals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement. Payments for products and services are collected within a short period of time following transfer of control or commencement of delivery of services, as applicable.

Further, customers frequently purchase extended hardware service contracts with the purchase of measurement equipment and related software. Hardware service contracts are considered a performance obligation when services are transferred to a customer over time, and, as such, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the contractual term. Hardware service contracts include contract periods that extend between one month to three years.

We capitalize commission expenses related to deliverables transferred to a customer over time and amortize such costs ratably over the term of the contract. As of September 30, 2024, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $4.0 million. For classification purposes, $3.1 million and $0.9 million are comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $4.6 million. For classification purposes, $3.5 million and $1.1 million were comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

The unearned service revenue liabilities reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the contract liabilities to satisfy the remaining performance obligations for extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance. The current portion of unearned service revenues on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue within twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. The unearned service revenues less the current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize as revenue extending beyond twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranties, subscription-based software and software maintenance contract liabilities. Customer deposits on our condensed consolidated balance sheets represent customer prepayments on contracts for performance obligations that we must satisfy in the future to recognize the related contract revenue. These amounts are generally related to performance obligations which are delivered in less than 12 months. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $16.2 million and $34.7 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $13.8 million and $30.8 million of revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The nature of certain of our contracts gives rise to variable consideration, primarily related to an allowance for sales returns. We are required to estimate the contract asset related to sales returns and record a corresponding adjustment to Cost of sales. Our allowance for sales returns for each of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was less than $0.1 million.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in Product Sales and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in Cost of sales. We exclude from Sales any value-added sales and other taxes that we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities.

NOTE 7 – INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of Cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over the remaining life, typically three years.

NOTE 9 – LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is computed by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net loss and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Our potential common stock consists of employee stock options, time-based restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock unit awards, and common stock issued for settlement of the Notes (as defined in Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Our potential common stock is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when adding such potential common stock would not be anti-dilutive. Market-based awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying conditions (and any applicable market condition) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. When we report a net loss for the period presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes our potential common stock, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were approximately 1,350,436 shares issuable upon the exercise of options, the vesting of time-based restricted stock and the contingent vesting of market-based restricted stock units that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were approximately 1,439,944 issuable upon the exercise of options that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. In addition, the Company had $72.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding on September 30, 2024, which, if converted, would result in the issuance of a maximum of 2,039,659 shares of common stock. These shares were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is presented below:

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INVESTMENTS

Fair Value Measurements

The guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are used to determine fair value. These models employ valuation techniques that involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by the guidance on fair value measurements, are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities and are as follows:

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques include use of discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Table of Contents

The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration.

Financial assets subject to the fair value disclosure requirements are included in the table below. All of our financial assets are classified as Level 1. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of these investments approximated its carrying amount.


	As of September 30, 2024
Assets	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Cash equivalents: U.S. Treasury securities	$	30,008	$	—	$	—
Total	$	30,008	$	—	$	—


	As of December 31, 2023

Short-term investments: U.S. Treasury securities	19,496		—		—
Total	$	29,367	$	—	$	—

The fair value of the Notes (as defined in Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) was approximately $66.6 million and $65.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Fair value was determined based on the closing trading price of the Notes as of the last trading day of the quarter and was primarily affected by the trading price of the Company's common stock and market interest rates. The fair value of the Notes is considered a Level 2 measurement as they are not actively traded.

NOTE 12 – RESTRUCTURING

On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to improve operating performance and help ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. We believe we have successfully redefined our go-to-market strategy to place an increased focus on our customers and to help enable our sales employees, supported by our talented pool of field application engineers, to sell all product lines globally.

In conjunction with the Restructuring Plan, on July 15, 2021, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”), in connection with the Restructuring Plan. Under the Agreement, Sanmina provides manufacturing services for the Company’s measurement device products previously manufactured by the Company at the Company’s Lake Mary, Florida, Exton, Pennsylvania, Stuttgart, Germany and Portugal manufacturing sites. This phased transition to a Sanmina production facility was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 as part of our cost reduction initiative. As a result of an evaluation on the usage of our manufacturing spaces, we decided to abandon 17,000 square feet of unused space at our Exton, Pennsylvania facility in the third quarter of 2022. Since the approval of the Restructuring Plan, we paid $24.8 million, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits. All actions under this plan were completed as of March 31, 2023, and the remaining amounts payable of $0.5 million were rolled forward to the Integration Plan discussed below.

On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan") to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023, and the Board approved increases to both the expected pre-tax charges and the annualized cost savings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. As of September 30, 2024, in relation with the Integration Plan, we have incurred total restructuring charges of $26.7 million, and have made cash payments of $10.1 million.

In the third quarter of 2024, we did not incur any costs associated with the Integration and Restructuring plans. In the same period in 2023, we recognized $1.6 million in employee severance and other professional costs associated with the Integration and Restructuring plans, and paid $3.1 million primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.

Activity related to the accrued restructuring charges for the Integration Plan and cash payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Substantially all of our planned activities under the Restructuring Plan and the Integration Plan are complete.

NOTE 13 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments — We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $25.1 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. The Company’s long-term purchase commitments were immaterial as a result of the ongoing transition towards direct sourcing with Sanmina.

Legal Proceedings — We are involved in disputes, claims and other legal actions arising in the normal course of our business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, any litigation, regardless of its outcome, may be costly and may require significant time and attention of our management and technical personnel.

NOTE 14 – LEASES

We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, research and development facilities, sales and training facilities, vehicles, and certain equipment under which we assume the role of lessee. We do not lease assets as a lessor. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately eight years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to fifteen years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within three months. We do not participate in any material subleasing.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate include the variable portion when calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option at the time the lease is commenced. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

While we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Table of Contents

The components of lease expense were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Interest on lease liabilities	2		3		8		12
Total finance lease cost	$	29	$	24	$	111	$	82

We recognize lease payments made for short-term leases where terms are 12 months or less as the payments are incurred. Our short-term lease costs for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were less than $0.1 million.

NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.3 million compared with $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our effective tax rate was 129.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with 21.0% in the prior year period. The change in our income tax expense was primarily due to pre-tax income during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a pre-tax loss during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our United States and Singapore entities remain in a full valuation allowance, therefore, we are not able to recognize the tax benefits associated with pre-tax losses generated in those jurisdictions.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

NOTE 16 - DEBT

On January 24, 2023, the Company issued $75 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes bear interest from January 24, 2023, at a rate of 5.50% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2023. The annual effective interest rate of the Notes is 6.27% when including discounts and offering expenses incurred by the Company.

The Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders of the Notes at any time prior to November 1, 2027 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2023 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (hereinafter referred to as “common stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate for the Notes on each such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock; (4) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption; or (5) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after November 1, 2027, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 23.6072 shares of the common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $42.36 per share of the common stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 20% to the $35.30 per share last reported sale price of the common stock on January 19, 2023. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert have not been met. The Notes are therefore not convertible as of September 30, 2024 and are classified in long term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to February 5, 2026. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after February 5, 2026 and on or before the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of the common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day immediately before the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately before the date the Company provides such notice. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes, which means that the Company is not required to redeem or retire the Notes periodically.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Notes) prior to the maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes are presented under the long term liabilities of our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were approximately $72.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of $2.3 million and other offering expenses of $0.4 million.

In June 2024, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the Notes to repurchase $3.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregated cash repurchase price of $2.7 million and a gain on debt extinguishment of $0.3 million, which was recorded in Other income (expense), net, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. After the repurchase, $72.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes remained outstanding on September 30, 2024. The Company is in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the Notes as of September 30, 2024.

The net carrying amount of the Notes was as follows:


	As of September 30, 2024		As of December 31, 2023
Principal	$	72,000	$	75,000
Unamortized discount and issuance costs	(1,904)		(2,240)
Net carrying amount	$	70,096	$	72,760

NOTE 17 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support its strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our redundant operations and underperforming countries primarily driven by economic and demand challenges in the manufacturing and construction sectors. Key activities under the 2024 Restructuring Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our manufacturing operations from recent acquisitions to our global manufacturing partner, Sanmina Corporation, and the continued optimization of our facilities assets to align with current and expected future utilization. As a result, we expect to incur potentially $6 million to $9 million in pre-tax charges, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, comprised primarily of $5 million to $8 million of one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits.

Overview

We are a global technology company that designs, develops, manufactures, markets and supports software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the manufacturing, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 4D, 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.

We derive our revenues primarily from the sale of our measurement equipment and related multi-faceted software programs. Revenue related to these products is generally recognized upon shipment. In addition, we sell extended warranties and training and technology consulting services relating to our products. We recognize the revenue from hardware service contracts and software maintenance contracts on a straight-line basis over the contractual term, and revenue from training and technology consulting services when the services are provided.

We operate in international markets throughout the world and maintain sales offices in Brazil, China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Sanmina currently manufactures our FARO Quantum Max Arm, FARO Focus Laser Scanner, FARO Laser Tracker and our FARO Laser Projector products in their facility located in Thailand. We expect these third-party manufacturing facilities to have the production capacity necessary to support our volume requirements during 2024.

We account for wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries in the currency of the respective foreign jurisdiction; therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates may have an impact on the value of the intercompany account balances denominated in different currencies and reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We have not used off-balance sheet financial instruments or other hedging instruments to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, including cross-currency swaps, forward contracts and foreign currency options, as fluctuations in exchange rate on our revenue were mostly offset by those same fluctuations in exchange rate on our expenses, providing a natural hedge in foreign jurisdictions. Our exchange rate exposure may change as a result of our current or future operational strategies and we will continue assessing the appropriateness of hedging for our business.

Restructuring Plan and Integration Plan

On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to improve operating performance and help ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan have targeted and achieved approximately $40 million in annualized savings. We believe we have successfully redefined our go-to-market strategy to place an increased focus on our customers and to help enable our sales employees, supported by our talented pool of field application engineers, to sell all product lines globally.

On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023, and the Board approved increases to both the expected pre-tax charges and the annualized cost savings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. As of September 30, 2024, in relation with the Integration Plan, we have incurred total restructuring charges of $26.7 million, and have made cash payments of $10.1 million.

Substantially all of our planned activities under the Restructuring Plan and the Integration Plan are complete.

FARO Sphere and the Unified Software Environment

FARO Sphere XG is our cloud-based platform that is the foundation to our software and solution strategy. We provide differentiated value by offering workflow enhancements which include data uploads from any location, access to our existing suite of 3D software applications, cloud-based data analysis and global user access. FARO Sphere XG represents the next step into expansion of our cloud-based software offerings that will deliver greater value to our customers and to our shareholders. The FARO Sphere XG environment could be adopted globally across a wide range of markets, including construction management, facilities, operations and maintenance, robotic simulation and incident preplanning. This adoption would lead to an increase in the number of users and thus enable revenue growth of our software and a shift toward increased levels of recurring revenue over time. We released the first phase of FARO Sphere to our customers during the second quarter of 2022 with the next generation with additional features and functionality FARO Sphere XG announced on October 23, 2023 which is the culmination of the consolidation of our cloud-based offerings into a single unified software environment.

Revenue from our software products for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $11.2 million, and revenue from our software products was $33.3 million and $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our recurring revenue which is comprised of hardware service contracts, software maintenance contracts, and subscription-based software applications was $17.4 million and $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $51.3 million and $50.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Research and development costs incurred relating to the development of internal-use software and website development, including software used to upgrade and enhance our websites and applications to be sold as a service are capitalized in the period incurred and amortized over 1 year to 5 years. These costs include external direct costs of materials and services and internal costs such as payroll and benefits of those employees directly associated with the development of new functionality in internal use software to be sold as a service. The amount of costs capitalized relating to internally developed computer software to be sold as a service was $1.2 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $3.4 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash paid relating to these development costs are included as an investing activity within the Cash paid for technology development, patents and licenses line of our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Consolidated Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

Sales. Total sales were $82.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $86.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Total product sales decreased by $5.4 million, or 8.1%, to $61.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $66.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Total sales were impacted primarily by the APAC region being down $3.4 million driven by all end markets within China.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased by $4.3 million, or 10.3%, to $46.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $41.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and gross margin increased by 7.7 percentage points to 55.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 48.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross margin from product revenue increased by 9.1 percentage points to 57.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 48.2% for the prior year period primarily driven by better average selling price on our Arm and Scanner products, and by lower material costs driven by the consolidation of our production activities. Gross margin from service revenue increased by 3.8 percentage points to 51.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 47.2% for the prior year period, due to higher revenue and favorable product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4.0 million, or 10.3%, to $34.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $38.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by the savings realized from the Integration Plan and lower sales commission expenses driven by lower sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased by 2.5 percentage points to 41.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 43.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 19.5%, to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 11.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 9.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the certain Integration Plan cost savings realized in the third quarter of 2023, which did not repeat in 2024.

Restructuring costs. In February 2023, we initiated the Integration Plan to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023. Restructuring costs included in operating expenses decreased by $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as substantially all of our planned activities under the Restructuring Plan and the Integration Plan were completed in 2023. The restructuring charges include accruals for severance and related benefits, professional fees, and impairment of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvement assets related to facilities optimization as a part of the Integration Plan.

Interest (income) expense, net. We recorded net interest expense of $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three month ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Interest expense is primarily associated with the Notes issued in January 2023 offset by interest income earned on cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Other income (expense), net. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, other expense was $0.2 million compared with other income of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Income tax expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 we recorded an income tax expense of $1.3 million compared with $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our effective tax rate was 129.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with 21.0% in the prior year period. The fluctuations observed in both our income tax expense and effective tax rate are primarily associated with shifts in the geographic mix of pretax income projected for the entirety of 2024.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our quarterly provision for income tax expense (benefit) are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Net loss. Our net loss was $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with net loss of $8.8 million for the prior year period, reflecting the impact of the factors described above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Sales. Total sales decreased by $11.1 million, or 4.3%, to $248.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $260.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by our product sales, which decreased by $13.4 million, or 6.7%, to $186.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $199.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Service sales increased by $2.3 million, or 3.9%, to $62.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $60.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The overall decrease in sales was mainly influenced by weakened demand across most product lines, particularly in the China and United States markets, which together accounted for a $10.2 million decrease in sales. This decline is attributed to the challenging macroeconomic environment. Additionally, the weakening of the Japanese Yen against the US Dollar contributed to a $1.4 million reduction in net sales, as higher Yen values translated to lower reported revenue in USD.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased by $19.4 million, or 16.9%, to $134.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $114.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and gross margin increased by 9.8 percentage points to 53.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 44.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Gross margin from product revenue increased by 11.9 percentage points to 55.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 43.6% for the prior year period, primarily driven by better average selling price on our Arm and Scanner products, and by lower material costs driven by the consolidation of our production activities. Margins were also favorably impacted by favorable product and geographical mix. Gross margin from service revenue increased by 3.0 percentage points to 48.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 45.9% for the prior year period, primarily due to higher revenue levels with a relatively consistent fixed cost structure.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $11.7 million, or 9.9%, to $106.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $117.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by the savings realized from the Integration Plan and lower stock compensation expense driven by senior executive transitions. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased by 2.7 percentage points to 42.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with 45.4% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $3.9 million, or 12.3%, to $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by the savings realized from the Integration Plan. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 11.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the cost savings realized from the Integration Plan.

Restructuring costs. In February 2023, we initiated the Integration Plan to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023. Restructuring costs included in operating expenses decreased by $14.5 million, to $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as substantially all of our planned activities under the Restructuring Plan and the Integration Plan were completed in 2023. The restructuring charges include accruals for severance and related benefits, professional fees, and impairment of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvement assets related to facilities optimization as a part of the Integration Plan.

Interest (income) expense, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded interest expense, net of $2.6 million compared with $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This charges primarily related to interest expense associated with the Notes issued in January 2023 offset by interest income earned on short-term investments.

Other (income) expense, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded other expense, net of $0.2 million compared with other income, net of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This change was primarily driven by the effect of foreign exchange rates on our non-U.S.-dollar-denominated balance sheet.

Income tax expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax expense of $3.9 million compared with income tax expense of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our effective tax rate was 93.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with 9.1% in the prior year period. The change in our income tax expense was primarily associated with a shift in the geographic mix of pre-tax income expected for the full year 2024. The change in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the decrease in the pre-tax loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our quarterly provision for income tax expense are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Table of Contents

Net loss. Our net loss was $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $58.2 million for the prior year period, reflecting the impact of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $12.1 million to $88.9 million at September 30, 2024, from $76.8 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by maturities of short-term investments, cash generated from operating activities, partially offset by repurchases of common stock and Notes in financing activities, and purchase of property and equipment in investing activities.

Cash provided by operating activities was $13.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $17.6 million of cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change in cash usage was primarily due to a smaller current year net loss.

Cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $11.6 million compared to cash used in investing activities of $10.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the maturities of short-term investments in the second quarter of 2024, in the amount of $20.0 million.

Cash used in financing activities was $12.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $71.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Financing cash change was primarily driven by the Company's issuance of the Notes in January 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased $3.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregated cash repurchase price of $2.7 million. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company purchased a total of 588,856 shares for a total cash payment of $10.0 million as a part of our share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2023, we had authorization to repurchase $8.3 million shares remaining under the repurchase program.

The Notes will mature on February 1, 2028, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted. The Notes bear interest from January 24, 2023, at a rate of 5.50% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2023. The Notes may bear additional interest under specified circumstances relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its reporting obligations under the indenture governing the Notes or if the Notes are not freely tradeable as required by the indenture.

Of our cash and cash equivalents, $47.0 million was held by foreign subsidiaries as of September 30, 2024. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, resulting in significant modifications to existing tax law, which included a transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. As a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company can repatriate foreign earnings and profits to the U.S. with minimal U.S. income tax consequences, other than the transition tax and global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax. We have reinvested a large portion of our undistributed foreign earnings and profits in acquisitions and other investments and intend to bring back a portion of foreign cash in certain jurisdictions where we will not be subject to local withholding taxes and which were subject already to transition tax and GILTI tax.

On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we purchased a total of 588,856 shares for a total cash payment of $10.0 million. As of September 30, 2024, we had authorization to repurchase $8.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.

In order to reduce future cash interest payments, as well as future amounts due at maturity or upon redemption, we may, from time to time, purchase our debt for cash in open-market purchases and/or privately negotiated transactions and upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine. We will evaluate any such transactions in light of then-existing market conditions, taking into account our current liquidity and prospects for future access to capital. The amounts involved in any such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material.

Table of Contents

We believe that our working capital and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our short- and long-term liquidity operating requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of September 30, 2024, we had $25.1 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. Other than as described in the preceding sentences, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments table included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience, along with various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. As of September 30, 2024, our critical accounting policies have not changed from those described in our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Exposure

We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the United States. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, 58% of our revenue was invoiced, and a significant portion of our operating expenses and manufacturing costs were paid, in foreign currencies, and 43% of our assets were denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and could specifically result in foreign exchange gains and losses. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on the results of our operations cannot be accurately predicted due to the constantly changing exposure to various currencies, the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollar and the number of currencies involved, although our most significant exposures are to the Euro, Swiss franc, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, British pound and Brazilian real. To the extent that the percentage of our non-U.S. dollar revenues derived from international sales increases in the future, our exposure to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may increase. We have not used off-balance sheet financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, including cross-currency swaps, forward contracts and foreign currency options, as fluctuations in exchange rate on our revenue were mostly offset by those same fluctuations in exchange rate on our expenses, providing a natural hedge in foreign jurisdictions. No such instruments were utilized by the Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our exchange rate exposure may change as a result of our current or future operational strategies and we will continue assessing the appropriateness of hedging for our business.

Interest Rate Exposure

We had cash and cash equivalent of $88.9 million as of September 30, 2024, consisting of cash and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations. Our investments are made for capital preservation purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. All our investments are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Our investments in U.S. Treasury obligations are subject to market risk due to changes in interest rates. Fixed rate securities may have their market value negatively impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell securities that decline in market value due to changes in interest rates.

We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 5 percent would have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Global Inflation Exposure

General inflation in the United States, Europe and other geographies has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades. General inflation, including rising prices for our raw materials and other inputs as well as rising salaries negatively impact our business by increasing our cost of sales and operating expenses. A period of a rising rate of inflation also negatively impacts our business by decreasing the capital for our customers to deploy to purchase our products and services. Inflation may cause our customers to reduce or delay orders for our goods and services thereby causing a decrease in sales of our products and services. The impact of future inflation fluctuations on the results of our operations cannot be accurately predicted.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance as of September 30, 2024.

Material Weakness

As described in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified a material weakness related to information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the area of user access over certain IT systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process. The material weakness noted by management specifically related to our design and maintenance of effective user access controls that consistently and adequately detect and monitor the use of user accounts with elevated access to ensure that those accounts were being used by appropriate personnel and only authorized activities were performed. Additionally, deficiencies across multiple systems were identified related to the provisioning of access, deprovisioning of access, and the monitoring and restriction of access with identified segregation of duties conflicts. We believe that these control deficiencies were a result of: IT control processes lacking sufficient documentation such that the successful operation of ITGCs was overly dependent upon knowledge of certain individuals with IT expertise, which led to issues resulting from changes in IT personnel; insufficient knowledge and training of IT personnel on the importance of ITGCs; and risk-assessment processes inadequate to identify and assess the implementation of new IT systems and assess changes in IT environments that could impact internal control over financial reporting. Although this control deficiency did not result in any identified material misstatements to our previously filed financial statements, the aforementioned material weakness could result in a material misstatement to the Company’s financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:

•hiring new and reassigning existing information technology leadership with public company experience to enhance public company information technology services and solutions;

•formalizing certain roles and review responsibilities within key financial applications, including ensuring appropriate segregation of duties;

•revising user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial information technology applications to appropriate Company personnel;

•designing information technology operation controls to ensure critical jobs are monitored and privileges are appropriately granted;

•implementing a more robust logging and monitoring procedures to track user activities and system changes, designed to allow for better visibility into user access and detect any unauthorized or suspicious activities;

•establishing procedures for ongoing monitoring and improvement of access controls and system accountability to assess the effectiveness of controls more frequently, identify any gaps or weaknesses, and take corrective actions as needed to strengthen the overall security posture in a timely manner; and

•enhancing our regular training and awareness programs to employees on the importance of maintaining strong access controls aimed at mitigating the risk of insider threats and unauthorized access.

We believe that these actions will remediate the material weakness. The weakness will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2024.

Table of Contents

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except for the material weakness and remediation plan actions discussed above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in disputes, claims and other legal actions arising in the normal course of our business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, any litigation, regardless of its outcome, may be costly and may require significant time and attention of our management and technical personnel.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, before deciding to invest in, or retain, shares of our common stock. These risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report, in this Quarterly Report, and in subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known by us or by factors that we currently consider to be immaterial to our business. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. For a detailed description of our risk factors, refer to Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer Under the Share Repurchase Plan

On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. The following table summarizes the repurchase activity during the three months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we had authorization to repurchase $8.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Prices Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that may yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
July 1, 2024 - July 30, 2024					$	18,331,103
August 1, 2024 - August 31, 2024	373,426	$	16.88	373,426	$	12,029,266

Item 5. Other Information

(a) 2024 Restructuring Plan

Table of Contents

challenges in the manufacturing and construction sectors. Key activities under the 2024 Restructuring Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our manufacturing operations from recent acquisitions to our global manufacturing partner, Sanmina Corporation, and the continued optimization of our facilities assets to align with current and expected future utilization. As a result, we expect to incur potentially $6 million to $9 million in pre-tax charges, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, comprised primarily of $5 million to $8 million of one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits. We expect to realize approximately $6 million in annualized cost savings when the plan is complete that is expected to be largely offset by continued higher costs to run our business over the near and longer term.

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, no director or officer, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f), adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” each as defined in Regulation S-K Item 408.

Description of Business	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for the manufacturing, architecture, engineering and construction (“AEC”), Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) and public safety analytics markets. We enable our customers to capture, measure, manipulate, interact with and share 4D, 3D and 2D data from the physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain. Our broad technology set equips our customers with a wide range of 3D capture technologies that range from ultra-high accuracy laser-scanner-based technology to lower accuracy, photogrammetry-based technology. Our FARO suite of 3D products and software solutions are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, construction management, assembly layout, machine guidance as well as in investigation and reconstructions of crash and crime scenes. We sell the majority of our solutions through a direct sales force, with an increasing volume being sold through an indirect channel across a range of industries including automotive, aerospace, metal and machine fabrication, surveying, architecture, engineering and construction, public safety forensics and other industries.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis under Accounting Standards Codification 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in ASU 2023-07 should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which improves income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 indicates that all entities will apply its guidance prospectively with an option for retroactive application to each period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Purchase Commitments — We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $25.1 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. The Company’s long-term purchase commitments were immaterial as a result of the ongoing transition towards direct sourcing with Sanmina. Legal Proceedings — We are involved in disputes, claims and other legal actions arising in the normal course of our business. Although it is not possible to predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, any litigation, regardless of its outcome, may be costly and may require significant time and attention of our management and technical personnel.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax expense of $1.3 million compared with $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our effective tax rate was 129.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared with 21.0% in the prior year period. The change in our income tax expense was primarily due to pre-tax income during the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a pre-tax loss during the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our United States and Singapore entities remain in a full valuation allowance, therefore, we are not able to recognize the tax benefits associated with pre-tax losses generated in those jurisdictions. Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pre-tax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On November 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “2024 Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support its strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our redundant operations and underperforming countries primarily driven by economic and demand challenges in the manufacturing and construction sectors. Key activities under the 2024 Restructuring Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our manufacturing operations from recent acquisitions to our global manufacturing partner, Sanmina Corporation, and the continued optimization of our facilities assets to align with current and expected future utilization. As a result, we expect to incur potentially $6 million to $9 million in pre-tax charges, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025, comprised primarily of $5 million to $8 million of one-time severance and other employee-related termination benefits.

Principles of Consolidation (Policies)	Sep. 30, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Consolidation	Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned.
Foreign Currency Translation	All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss)
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates	Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis under Accounting Standards Codification 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in ASU 2023-07 should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which improves income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 indicates that all entities will apply its guidance prospectively with an option for retroactive application to each period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its disclosures.
Inventories	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of Cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over the remaining life, typically three years.
