General
OSI Systems, Inc., together with our subsidiaries, is a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications. We sell our products and provide related services in diversified markets, including homeland security, healthcare, defense and aerospace. Our company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and our principal office is located at 12525 Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne, California 90250.
We have three operating divisions: (a) Security, providing security and inspection systems, turnkey security screening solutions, and high-power radio frequency systems; (b) Optoelectronics and Manufacturing, providing specialized electronic components for our Security and Healthcare divisions, as well as to third parties for applications in the defense and aerospace markets, among others; and (c) Healthcare, providing patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems and associated accessories.
We sell our security and inspection solutions and healthcare products primarily to end‑users, while we design and manufacture our optoelectronic devices and value‑added subsystems and provide electronics manufacturing services primarily for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.
Security Division. A variety of technologies are currently used globally in non-intrusive security and inspection systems, including transmission and backscatter X-ray interrogation, 3-D computed tomography, radiation monitoring, metal detection, millimeter wave imaging, chemical trace detection, and optical inspection. We believe that the market for security and inspection products will continue to be affected by the threat of terrorist incidents, drug and human trafficking, border security, gun violence, and by new government mandates and appropriations for security and inspection products both in the United States and internationally.
Security and inspection products are used at a wide range of facilities such as airports, border crossings, seaports, freight forwarding operations (to screen cargo before it is loaded onto airplanes), government and military installations, sports and concert venues, correctional facilities, and other locations where the interdiction of criminal activities is paramount. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has undertaken numerous initiatives to prevent terrorists from entering the country, hijacking airplanes, and obtaining and transporting explosives, weapons and their components, and to prevent drug and human trafficking, among other serious crimes. These initiatives, such as the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s Air Cargo Screening Mandate and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Container Security Initiative, have resulted in increased demand for security and inspection products, as have similar programs undertaken by governments across the world.
The international market for non-intrusive inspection equipment and related services also continues to expand as nations procure and operate equipment to meet their own security objectives and address evolving threats, including bolstering security operations at their own borders, transportation networks, critical infrastructure facilities, and other venues. Global initiatives like the European Union’s Customs Control Equipment Instrument (CCEI) and mandates for 100% cargo scanning at key international ports are driving increased demand for advanced inspection technologies by setting higher security standards, streamlining customs processes, and promoting greater interoperability among international security frameworks. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration and other international air transportation security regulators around the world require the screening of passengers, carry-on bags and air cargo. Several of our screening system models have been approved by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, as well as by various international regulatory bodies, for this purpose and are procured and used by government agencies, airlines, airports, freight forwarders, transportation companies and other businesses to fulfill their compliance requirements. These and other regulations promulgated by international organizations have resulted in an ongoing global demand for airline, cargo, port and border security and inspection technologies.
The global market for high-power radio frequency (RF) systems is expanding. High-power over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) can provide 24/7 coverage of air, land and orbital space well outside the political borders of most countries. The U.S. has an initiative called Golden Dome, which, among other objectives, seeks to expand air defense surveillance capability. Other countries may seek similar expanded capabilities. Global navigation systems such as GPS are under constant attack by threat actors. There is a global need for more secure and redundant systems to ensure continuous access to accurate position and time data. Secure communications networks face ever more sophisticated threats and thus demand for secure digital long-range communication is increasing.
Optoelectronics and Manufacturing Division. We believe that continued advances in technology have broadened the optoelectronics market by enabling the use of optoelectronic devices in a greater number of applications. In addition, we see the continued electrification and miniaturization of products to expand the markets for providing electronic manufacturing services to OEMs who increasingly see the benefit of outsourcing the design and manufacture of optoelectronic devices as well as value-added subsystems to fully-integrated, independent manufacturers, like us, which may offer greater specialization, broader expertise, and more flexibility to respond to short cycle times and quicker market expectations.
Our optoelectronic devices are utilized in a wide range of applications across various markets, including aerospace and defense, automotive, medical imaging and diagnostics, life sciences and biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, telecommunications, construction, and homeland security. Medical applications for our devices include diagnostic and imaging products, patient monitoring equipment, and glucose monitors. Aerospace and defense applications for our devices include satellite navigation sensors, laser-guided munitions systems, range finders, and other applications that require the conversion of optical signals into electrical signals. Homeland security applications for our devices include X-ray imaging, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive-based detection systems. Our optoelectronic devices and value-added subsystems are also used in a wide range of measurement control, monitoring, and industrial applications, serving as key components in telecommunications technologies. We also offer electronics manufacturing services to broader markets, as well as to our optoelectronics customers and our Security and Healthcare divisions. We offer full turnkey solutions as well as printed circuit board assembly, cable and harness assembly, liquid crystal displays, and box-build manufacturing services, in which we provide product design and development, supply chain management, and production manufacturing services. Additionally, our North America based flexible circuit businesses offer design expertise, fabrication capabilities, and assembly of flexible and rigid circuit boards for the growing North American manufacturing and product development markets for industrial, medical, military, and consumer applications.
Healthcare Division. Healthcare has been, and we believe will continue to be, a growing economic sector throughout much of the world. Developing countries in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region are expected to continue to build healthcare infrastructure to serve expanding middle class populations. In developed areas, especially the United States, Europe, and mature Asian countries, aging populations and extended life expectancy are projected to fuel growth in healthcare for the foreseeable future.
While we believe that the healthcare industry will continue to grow throughout much of the world, many factors are forcing healthcare providers to do more with less. These factors include inflationary pressures, labor shortages and unfavorable shifts in payor mix. The COVID-19 pandemic strained healthcare provider resources, placing increased focus on the advantages of remote monitoring and products which can be deployed flexibly, enabling hospitals to quickly reconfigure and adapt to unexpected changes. Our customers expect clinical value, economic value, and clinical decision support. Positioning our current healthcare products to demonstrate the competitive value in total cost of ownership is increasingly important in this environment. At the same time, the widespread introduction of mobile devices into the healthcare environment is creating an emerging demand for patient data acquisition and distribution. Our Healthcare division designs, manufactures and markets devices and software that respond to these factors, helping hospitals reduce costs, make better-informed clinical decisions, and more fully utilize resources.
We are a global manufacturer and distributor of patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care solutions for use in hospitals, medical clinics and physician offices. We design, manufacture and market patient monitoring solutions for critical, sub-acute and perioperative care areas of the hospital, wired and wireless networks and ambulatory blood pressure monitors, all aimed at providing caregivers with timely patient information. Our cardiology and remote monitoring systems include Holter recorders and analyzers, ambulatory blood pressure monitors, resting and stress electrocardiography (ECG) devices, and ECG management software systems and related software and services.
Growth Strategy
We believe that one of our primary competitive strengths is our expertise in designing and manufacturing cost-effective specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications. As a result, we will continue to leverage such expertise and capacity to gain price, performance and agility advantages over our competitors in the security, healthcare and optoelectronics fields, and to translate such advantages into profitable growth in these fields. At the same time, we continually seek to identify new markets in which our core expertise and capacity will provide us with competitive advantages. Key elements of our growth strategy include:
Capitalizing on Global Reach. We operate from multiple locations throughout the world. We view our international operations as providing an important strategic advantage over competitors. First, our international manufacturing facilities allow us to take advantage of competitive labor rates in order to lower our manufacturing costs. Second, our international offices strengthen our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to service and repair our systems by providing direct access to growing markets and to our existing international customer base. Third, our international manufacturing locations allow us to reduce delivery times to our global customer base. We intend to continue to enhance our international manufacturing and sales capabilities.
Capitalizing on Vertical Integration. Our vertical integration provides several advantages across all our divisions. These advantages include reduced manufacturing and delivery times, lower costs due to our access to competitive international labor markets and direct sourcing of raw materials and subcomponents. We also believe that we offer significant added value to our customers by providing a full range of vertically-integrated services, including component design and customization, subsystem concept design and application engineering, product development and prototyping, efficient preproduction and short run manufacturing and competitive mass production capabilities. We believe that our vertical integration differentiates us from many of our competitors and provides value to our customers who can rely on us to be an integrated and comprehensive supplier.
Capitalizing on the Market for Security and Inspection Systems. The trend toward increased screening of goods entering and departing from ports and crossing borders has resulted, and may continue to result in, the growth in the market for cargo inspection systems and turnkey security screening services that are capable of inspecting shipping containers (including trucks and rail cars) for contraband and assisting customs officials in the verification of shipping manifests. Package and cargo screening by freight forwarders, airlines and air cargo companies represents a growing sector, as regulations in the United States and Europe have continued to require screening of air cargo shipments. In Europe, increasing investment in border security and immigration management to combat illegal smuggling, unauthorized border crossings and other cross-border threats are creating additional growth opportunities for our cargo and vehicle inspection solutions as well as our biometric identity verification screening technologies. We are capitalizing on opportunities to replace, service and upgrade existing security installations, and offering turnkey security screening solutions in which we are constructing, staffing and/or operating security screening checkpoints for our customers.
We expect that a market for software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms that are capable of integrating the data that security inspection systems produce with related information derived from vehicle license plates, cargo container numbers, drivers’ licenses, government databases, and other sources will also continue to develop, mature and grow, particularly as customers shift their operating procedures to take advantage of secure, cloud-based, networking technologies. We are a leader in the development of these platforms, including the transmission of such data to operators that may be working within secure, remote screening facilities hundreds or thousands of miles away from the security checkpoint. Our platforms are used by customs and tax authorities in the United States, Europe, Middle East, Oceania and Latin America to screen millions of containers and vehicles. We believe that government agencies and commercial customers will continue to rely on such SaaS offerings to review and adjudicate screening decisions remotely, over secure networks, as well as to communicate with and monitor the performance of their employees working on the ground at distant ports, border crossings and other checkpoints. In addition, we deliver inspection algorithms combining data and image information into SaaS integrated operations.
Finally, we also intend to continue to develop new security and inspection products and technologies, including software and algorithms, and to enhance our current product and service offerings through internal research and development and selective acquisitions.
Improving and Complementing Existing Medical Technologies. We develop and market patient monitoring systems, cardiology and remote monitoring products, connected care solutions, remote clinical monitoring, clinical decision support, and associated supplies and accessories. Our efforts to develop new products and improve our existing medical technologies are focused on the needs of healthcare organizations, caregivers, and their patients. Our efforts to improve existing medical technologies concentrate on providing products that are flexible and intuitive to use so that clinicians can deliver accurate, precise, reliable and cost-effective care.

We intend to continue to selectively enter new markets that complement our existing capabilities in the design, development and manufacture of specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications such as security inspection, patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring. We believe that by manufacturing products that rely on our existing technological capabilities, we will leverage our integrated design and manufacturing infrastructure to build a larger presence in new markets that present attractive competitive dynamics. We intend to achieve this strategy through internal growth and through selective acquisitions.
Acquiring New Technologies and Companies. Our success depends in part on our ability to continually enhance and broaden our product offerings in response to changing technologies, customer demands and competitive pressures. We have developed expertise in our various lines of business and other areas through internal research and development efforts, as well as through selective acquisitions. We expect to continue to seek acquisition opportunities to broaden our technological expertise and capabilities, lower our manufacturing costs and facilitate our entry into new markets.
Products and Technology
We design, develop, manufacture and sell products ranging from security and inspection systems to patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems to discrete optoelectronic devices and value-added subsystems.
Security and Inspection Products and Solutions. We design, manufacture and market security and inspection systems globally to end users primarily under the “Rapiscan” trade name. Our Security products are used to inspect baggage, parcels, cargo, people, vehicles and other objects for various contraband and prohibited items including weapons, explosives, drugs, biosecurity threats, and nuclear materials. These systems are also used for the safe, accurate and efficient verification of cargo manifests for the purpose of assessing duties and monitoring the export and import of controlled materials. Our Security products fall into the following categories: baggage and parcel inspection; cargo and vehicle inspection; hold (checked) baggage screening; people screening; radiation monitoring; explosive and narcotics trace detection; and optical inspection systems. We also offer turnkey security screening services, an enterprise inspection process integration platform, operator training, and the staffing and operation of security screening checkpoints under the “S2” trade name. We have recently expanded this capability to include management of full-service checkpoint operations at several U.S. airports as part of TSA’s privatized screening initiative under the Screening Partnership Program.
In recent years, security and inspection products have increasingly been used at a wide range of facilities in addition to airports, such as border crossings, railways, seaports, cruise line terminals, sports and entertainment venues, freight forwarding operations, government and military installations and nuclear facilities. As a result of the use of security and inspection products at additional facilities, we have diversified our portfolio of security and inspection products and our sales channels.
Many of our security and inspection systems utilize dual-energy X-ray imaging technology, in combination with software enhanced imaging methods and algorithms to facilitate the detection of contraband materials and items such as explosives, weapons, and narcotics. Dual energy imaging allows some material properties to be identified. Additionally, dual-view X-ray imaging allows operators to view and examine objects from two directions simultaneously, thereby improving the operator’s ability to detect threats quickly and effectively. Some of our systems also use different types or combinations of X-ray imaging in addition to dual-energy, such as multi-view and computed tomography. Algorithms that process images and related data from these systems significantly enhance the overall probability of detection of a range of threat items and materials. Typical threat items include explosives and weapons.
Our inspection systems range in size from compact, handheld and table-top products to large systems comprising entire buildings in which trucks, shipping containers or pallets are inspected. Many of our inspection systems are also designed to be upgradeable to respond to new customer requirements as they emerge or change.
Our cargo and vehicle inspection applications, in which vehicles, cars, trucks, shipping containers, pallets and other large objects can be inspected, are designed in various configurations, including mobile, portal, gantry, and rail systems. Our customers use these products to verify the contents of cars, trucks, rail cars and cargo containers and to detect the presence of contraband, including narcotics, weapons, explosives, radioactive and nuclear materials and other smuggled items. Most of our cargo and vehicle inspection systems employ X‑ray imaging to inspect objects and present images to an inspector, including shapes, sizes, locations and relative densities of the contents. These systems utilize transmission imaging, backscatter imaging, or both technologies in combination. We also manufacture passive radiation monitoring devices for detecting nuclear materials utilizing their gamma and neutron signatures. Additionally, we have developed isotope‑specific identification algorithms. Many of these systems have been built to meet specific requirements of our government customers.
Our broad portfolio of non-intrusive inspection systems permits us to offer customers solutions that are tailored to their specific operational requirements, performance standards and budgets. In many cases, we have designed our systems to meet the performance specifications of relevant regulators, including authorities located in the United States, United Kingdom and European Union. This is particularly the case with respect to systems used (or approved for use) to perform screening of airline passenger carry-on items, hold (checked) baggage and air cargo.
Our Security division also offers trace detection systems that are designed to detect trace amounts of explosives and narcotics and people screening products, such as walk-through metal detectors for use at security checkpoints at airports, government buildings, sports arenas and other venues. We also advance the application of radio frequency (RF) broadcast transmission and scientific and industrial equipment, specializing in the custom design, development, and manufacture of digital and analog high-power RF systems for a global customer base across various sectors, including science, industrial, government, defense, and broadcast objectives.
Optoelectronic Devices and Manufacturing Services. Optoelectronic devices designed, manufactured, and sold through our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division generally consist of both active and passive components. A collection of active components detects lights of different wavelengths and converts light into electrical signals. Meanwhile, another set of devices emits light in the form of lasers, transforming electricity into light. Passive components are responsible for amplifying, separating, and reflecting light. These products are manufactured in standard and customized configurations for specific applications and are offered either as components or as subsystems. Our optoelectronic products and services are provided primarily under the “OSI Optoelectronics” trade name.
In addition to manufacturing standard and OEM products, we also specialize in designing and manufacturing customized, value-added subsystems for use in a wide range of products and equipment. An optoelectronic subsystem typically consists of one or more optoelectronic components that are combined with other electronic components and packaging for use in an end product. The composition of a subsystem can range from a simple assembly of various optoelectronic devices that are incorporated into other subsystems (for example, a printed circuit board containing our optoelectronic devices) to complete end products (for example, pulse oximetry equipment).
We provide electronics design and manufacturing services in North America, the United Kingdom, and the Asia Pacific region. Our offerings include printed circuit board assemblies, cable and harness assemblies, and complete systems. Our factories are equipped with automated surface mount technology (SMT) lines and other advanced automated manufacturing equipment. We offer these services to OEM customers and end users in various sectors, including medical, automotive, defense, aerospace, industrial, and consumer electronics applications that are not primarily focused on integrating optoelectronic devices.

The patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems we design, manufacture, and market are subject to regulation by numerous government agencies, principally the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and by other federal, state, local and foreign authorities. These systems are also subject to various U.S. and foreign product performance and safety standards. Our medical device product candidates must undergo an extensive government regulatory clearance or approval process prior to sale in the United States and other countries, including submission demonstrating clinical safety and efficacy of intended use, as well as the continuing need for compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This may require significant interaction with regulatory agencies and the expenditure of substantial resources.
United States FDA. In the United States, the FDA has broad regulatory powers with respect to preclinical and clinical testing of new medical devices and the designing, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record keeping, marketing, advertising, promotion, distribution, post-market monitoring and reporting and import and export of medical devices. Unless an exemption applies, federal law and FDA regulations require that all new or significantly modified medical devices introduced into the market be preceded either by a premarket notification clearance under section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), or an approved premarket approval (PMA) application. Under the FFDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to provide reasonable assurances with respect to safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to a set of regulations, referred to as General Controls, which require compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse events and malfunctions and truthful and non-misleading promotional materials. Some Class I devices, also called Class I reserved devices, also require premarket clearance by the FDA through the 510(k) premarket notification process described below. Most Class I products are exempt from the premarket notification requirements.
Class II devices are those that are subject to the General Controls, as well as Special Controls as deemed necessary by the FDA, which can include performance standards, guidelines and post-market surveillance. Most Class II devices are subject to premarket review and clearance by the FDA. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for Class II devices is accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification process.
Class III devices include devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk such as life-supporting or life-sustaining devices, or implantable devices, in addition to those deemed not substantially equivalent following the 510(k) process. The safety and effectiveness of Class III devices cannot be reasonably assured solely by the General Controls and Special Controls described above. Therefore, these devices are typically subject to the PMA application process, which is more costly and time consuming than the 510(k) process and requires substantial clinical data. To date, all of the patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems we manufacture and sell in the United States have required only 510(k) pre-market notification clearance.
We are subject to pervasive and continuing post-approval governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, the registration and listing regulation, which requires manufacturers to register all manufacturing facilities and list all medical devices placed into commercial distribution; Quality System (also known as Good Manufacturing Practices) Regulations, which requires manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, risk management, validation, testing, production, control, supplier and contractor selection, complaint handling, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during the manufacturing process; product and promotional labeling regulations; advertising and promotion requirements; restrictions on sale, distribution or use of a device; and the Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulation, which requires that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to reoccur. Noncompliance with these standards can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recalls or seizures of products, total or partial suspension of production, refusal of the government to grant clearance or approval of devices, withdrawal of marketing approvals and criminal prosecutions. We believe that our design, manufacturing and quality control procedures comply with the FDA’s regulatory requirements. Our facilities, records and manufacturing processes are also subject to periodic scheduled and unscheduled inspections by the FDA. Failure to comply with the applicable United States medical device regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, warning letters, untitled letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, civil penalties, unanticipated expenditures, repairs, replacements, refunds, recalls or seizures of products, operating restrictions, total or partial suspension of production, the FDA’s refusal to issue certificates to foreign governments needed to export products for sale in other countries, the FDA’s refusal to grant future premarket clearances or approvals, withdrawals or suspensions of current product clearances or approvals and criminal prosecution.
In February 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final rule revising the Quality System Regulation (QSR) to align more closely with ISO 13485:2016, now referred to as the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), which became effective on February 2, 2026.
We have undertaken activities to assess and update our quality management system to align with QMSR requirements. Because our quality management system was already substantially aligned with ISO 13485, we do not expect the transition to QMSR to have a material impact on our operations or compliance posture. However, failure to fully implement or maintain compliance with QMSR could result in regulatory enforcement actions, which could adversely affect our business.
Coverage and Reimbursement. Government and private sector initiatives to limit the growth of healthcare costs, including price regulation and competitive pricing, coverage and payment policies, comparative effectiveness therapies, technology assessments and managed care arrangements, are continuing in many countries where we do business, including the United States, Europe and Asia. As a result of these changes, the marketplace has placed increased emphasis on the delivery of more cost-effective medical therapies. In addition, because there is generally no separate reimbursement from third-party payers to our customers for many of our products, the additional costs associated with the use of our products can impact the profit margin of our customers. Accordingly, these various initiatives have created increased price sensitivity over healthcare products generally and may impact demand for our products and technologies.
Healthcare cost containment efforts have also prompted domestic hospitals and other customers of medical devices to consolidate into larger purchasing groups to enhance purchasing power, and this trend is expected to continue. The medical device industry has also experienced some consolidation, partly in order to offer a broader range of products to large purchasers. As a result, transactions with customers are larger, more complex and tend to involve more long-term contracts than in the past. These larger customers, due to their enhanced purchasing power, may attempt to increase the pressure on product pricing.
Other Healthcare Laws. In addition to FDA restrictions on marketing and promotion of drugs and devices, other federal and state laws restrict our business practices. These laws include, without limitation, data privacy and security laws, anti-kickback and false claims laws, and transparency laws regarding payments or other items of value provided to healthcare providers.
As a participant in the healthcare industry, we are subject to extensive regulations protecting the privacy and security of patient health information that we receive, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009, which was enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (collectively, “HIPAA”). Among other things, these regulations impose extensive requirements for maintaining the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information, known as “protected health information.” The HIPAA privacy regulations do not preempt state laws and regulations relating to personal information that may also apply to us. Our failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to civil and criminal sanctions.
The HIPAA provisions also created federal criminal statutes that prohibit among other actions, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private third-party payers, knowingly and willfully embezzling or stealing from a healthcare benefit program, willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense, and knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statutes or specific intent to violate them to have committed a violation. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulations that may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payer, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.
The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe or rebate), directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly, to induce or in return for the purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for or recommending the purchase, lease or order of items or services for which payment may be made, in whole or in part, under Medicare, Medicaid or other federal healthcare programs. The term “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value. Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Further, a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the federal civil False Claims Act.
The federal False Claims Act prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment or approval to the federal government, or knowingly making, using or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim to the federal government. A claim includes “any request or demand” for money or property presented to the U.S. Government. Medical device manufacturers have been held liable under these laws if they are deemed to cause the submission of false or fraudulent claims by, for example, providing customers with inaccurate billing or coding information. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it may be subject to repayment of three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus significant mandatory civil penalties for each separate false claim. Suits filed under the False Claims Act can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government and such individuals (known as “relators” or, more commonly, as “whistleblowers”) may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. These whistleblower - initiated False Claims Act cases are commonly referred to as “qui tam” actions. False Claims Act cases may also be initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice or any of its local U.S. Attorneys’ Offices. In addition, certain states have enacted laws modeled after the federal False Claims Act. Qui tam actions have increased significantly in recent years, causing greater numbers of healthcare companies to have to defend a false claim action, even before the validity of the claim is established and even if the government decides not to intervene in the lawsuit. Healthcare companies may decide to agree to large settlements with the government and/or whistleblowers to avoid the cost and negative publicity associated with litigation.
These laws impact the kinds of financial arrangements we may have with hospitals or other potential purchasers of our products. They particularly impact how we structure our sales offerings, including pricing, customer support, education and training programs, physician consulting, research grants and other service arrangements. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the health regulatory laws described above or any other laws that apply to us, we may be subject to material penalties, including potentially significant criminal and civil and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, imprisonment, exclusion from participation in government healthcare programs, contractual damages, reputational harm, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could materially and adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our results of operations.
Additionally, there has been a trend towards increased federal and state regulation of payments and other transfers of value provided to healthcare professionals or entities. The federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act requires that certain device manufacturers track and report to the government information regarding payments and other transfers of value to physicians, certain other clinical staff, and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their family members. A manufacturer’s failure to submit timely, accurately and completely the required information for all payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests may result in civil monetary penalties for “knowing failures.” Certain states also mandate implementation of compliance programs, impose restrictions on device manufacturer marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensation and other remuneration to healthcare professionals and entities.
We are subject to similar laws in foreign countries where we conduct business. For example, within the EU, the control of unlawful marketing activities is a matter of national law in each of the member states. The member states of the EU closely monitor perceived unlawful marketing activity by companies. We could face civil, criminal, and administrative sanctions if any member state determines that we have breached our obligations under its national laws. Industry associations also closely monitor the activities of member companies. If these organizations or authorities name us as having breached our obligations under their regulations, rules or standards, our reputation would suffer, and our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Other Foreign Healthcare Regulations
We are also subject to regulation in the foreign countries in which we manufacture, market, and/or import our products. For example, the commercialization of certain products, including medical devices, in the EU is regulated under a system that presently requires all such products sold in the EU to bear the CE marking—an international symbol of adherence to the medical device regulations and standards of the EU. Our manufacturing facilities in Hawthorne, California; Snoqualmie, Washington; Johor Bahru, Malaysia; Batam, Indonesia; and Hyderabad, India are all certified to the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 13485 standard for quality management. Our Hawthorne, California and Snoqualmie, Washington facilities are also certified to the requirements of Annex II, section 3 of the Directive 93/42/EEC on Medical Devices, which allows them to self-certify that manufactured products can bear the CE marking. Further, the implementation of the Restriction of Hazardous Substance Directive (“ROHS”) requires that certain products, including medical devices, shipped into the EU eliminate targeted ROHS substances.
The International Medical Device Regulators Forum has implemented a global approach to auditing manufacturers of medical devices. This audit system, called the Medical Device Single Audit Program (“MDSAP”), provides for an annual audit of a medical device manufacturer by a certified body on behalf of various regulatory authorities. Current authorities participating in MDSAP include the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia, Brazil’s Agencia Nacional de Vigilancia Sanitaria, Health Canada, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency and the FDA. It is expected that more regulatory authorities will participate in MDSAP in the future.
We and other medical device manufacturers are confronted with major changes in the EU’s decades-old regulatory framework governing market access to the EU. The EU’s Medical Devices Regulation (“EU MDR”) has replaced the EU’s Medical Device Directive (93/42/EEC) and the EU’s Directive on active implantable medical devices (90/385/EEC). The EU MDR imposes stricter requirements for the marketing and sale of medical devices, including in the areas of clinical evaluation, quality systems and post-market surveillance, than the medical device directives replaced by the EU MDR.
Manufacturers of currently approved medical devices have a transition time to meet the requirements of the EU MDR with expiration of such transition time depending on the class of medical device being manufactured. The EU MDR differs in several important ways from the EU’s directives for medical devices and active implantable medical devices replaced thereby. The most significant changes in the regulations include:
- The definition of medical devices covered under the EU MDR is significantly expanded to include devices that may not have a medical intended purpose, such as colored contact lenses. Also included in the scope of the regulation are devices designed for the purpose of “prediction and prognosis” of a disease or other health condition.
- Device manufacturers are required to identify at least one person within their organization who is ultimately responsible for all aspects of compliance with the requirements of the EU MDR. The organization must document the specific qualifications of this individual relative to the required tasks.
- The EU MDR requires rigorous post-market oversight of medical devices.
- The EU MDR allows the EU Commission or expert panels to publish “Common Specifications,” such as requirements for technical documentation, risk management, or clinical evaluation.
- Devices are to be reclassified according to risk, contact, duration, and invasiveness.
- Systematic clinical evaluation is required for Class IIa and Class IIb medical devices.
- All approved devices must be recertified in accordance with the EU MDR requirements.
We have a team dedicated to updating and revising key systems, processes, and product technical documentation to meet the EU MDR requirements.
Environmental Regulations
We are subject to various environmental laws, directives, and regulations pertaining to the use, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous substances used, and hazardous waste generated, in the manufacture of our products. Such laws mandate the use of controls and practices designed to mitigate the impact of our operations on the environment, and under such laws we may be held liable for the costs associated with the remediation and removal of any unintended or previously unknown releases of hazardous substances on, beneath or from our property and associated operations, including the remediation of hazardous waste disposed off-site. Such laws may impose liability without regard to whether we knew of, or caused, the release of such hazardous substances. Any failure by us to comply with present or future regulations could subject us to the imposition of substantial fines, suspension of production, alteration of manufacturing processes or cessation of operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that, except to an extent that would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, we are currently in compliance with all environmental regulations in connection with our manufacturing operations, and that we have obtained all environmental permits necessary to conduct our business. The amount and type of hazardous substances used, and hazardous waste generated, by us may increase in the future depending on changes in our operations. To ensure compliance and practice proper due diligence, we conduct appropriate environmental audits and investigations at our manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe, and, to the extent practicable, on all new properties. Our manufacturing facilities conduct regular internal audits to ensure proper environmental permits and controls are in place to meet changes in operations. Third-party investigations address matters related to current and former occupants and operations, historical land use, and regulatory oversight and status of associated properties and operations (including surrounding properties). The purpose of these studies is to identify, as of the date of such report, potential areas of environmental concern related to past and present activities or from nearby operations. The scope and extent of each investigation is dependent upon the size, complexity and operation of the property and on recommendations by independent environmental consultants.
Competition
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and characterized by evolving customer needs and rapid technological change. We compete with other manufacturers, some of which have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. In addition, some competitors may have the ability to respond rapidly to new or emerging technologies, adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements, have stronger customer relationships, have greater name recognition and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully against all designers and manufacturers of specialized electronic systems and components or within all markets for security and inspection systems, patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, or optoelectronic devices. Future competitive pressures may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the security and inspection market, competition is based primarily on factors such as product performance specification standards, quality and reliability, maintenance and repair competency, government regulatory approvals and qualifications, the overall cost effectiveness of the system, prior customer relationships and reputation, technological capabilities of the products, price, local market presence, historical program execution experience, and breadth of sales and service organization. Competition results in price reductions and reduced margins and could result in loss of market share. Although our competitors offer products in competition with one or more of our products, we can supply a variety of system types and we offer among the widest arrays of security inspection solutions available from a single supplier. This variety of technologies also permits us to offer unique combinations and hybrid systems to our customers that utilize two or more of these technologies, thereby optimizing flexibility, performance and cost to meet each customer’s unique application requirements.
In the patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, clinical monitoring and connected care markets, competition is also based on a variety of factors including product performance, functionality, value and breadth of sales and service organization. Competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of our market share. We believe that our patient monitoring products are easier to use than the products of many of our competitors because we offer a consistent user interface throughout many of our product lines. We also believe that the capability of our monitoring systems to connect together, and to the hospital infrastructure, is a key competitive advantage. Further, while some of our competitors are also beginning to introduce portal technology, which allows remote access to data from the bedside monitor, central station or other point of care, we believe that our competing technologies bring valuable, instant access to labs, radiology and charting at the point of care. In the patient monitoring and connected care markets we face many large international players. Our competitive advantage in this market is via our solution delivery and workflow and communications software (SafeNSound) as well as our FDA cleared clinical decision support (Rothman Index) software. Our offering in this market in the USA uniquely addresses the needs of our customers.
In cardiology and remote monitoring our competitors are more regionally based. Our differentiators in these markets are our analyzer software solutions as well as our ambulatory blood pressure monitors.
In the markets where we operate, providing optoelectronic devices and electronics manufacturing services, our customers evaluate us and our competitors based on several key factors. These include expertise in the design and development of optoelectronic devices, product quality, timely delivery, pricing, technical support, and the ability to offer fully integrated services that span application development and design through to production. Because our custom optoelectronic components and subsystems require a high degree of engineering expertise, there are very few significant competitors in the United States, Europe, or Asia. The competition in the broader electronic manufacturing services market ranges from multinational corporations with sales exceeding several billion dollars to large regional competitors and small local assembly companies. In our experience, the OEM customers to whom we provide such services often prefer to engage companies that offer both local and lower-cost offshore facilities. Along with a number of domestic competitors for these services, our high-volume, low-cost contract manufacturing locations in Southeast Asia compete with other manufacturers in the same region.
Backlog
We currently measure our backlog as quantifiable purchase orders or contracts that have been signed, for which revenues are expected to be recognized within the next five years. In instances where we are not able to estimate the value of a purchase order or contract, they are not included in backlog.
We ship most of our baggage and parcel inspection, people screening, trace detection, patient monitoring, cardiology, remote monitoring systems and optoelectronic devices and value-added subsystems within one to several months after receiving an order. However, such shipments may be delayed for a variety of reasons, including supply chain disruptions and any special design or requirements of the customer. In addition, large orders of security and inspection and RF transmission products and orders for our most complex systems typically require greater lead-times. Further, we provide turnkey screening services to certain customers for which we may recognize revenue over multi-year periods.
Certain of our cargo and vehicle inspection systems and our radio frequency transmission products may require more than a year of lead-time. We have experienced some significant delays associated with shipments of our cargo and vehicle inspection systems to certain customers. Such delays can occur for many reasons, including: (i) additional time necessary to coordinate and conduct factory inspections with the customer before shipment; (ii) a customer’s need to engage in time-consuming site construction projects to accommodate the system, over which we may have no control or responsibility; (iii) additional fine tuning of such systems once they are installed; (iv) design or specification changes by the customer; (v) time needed to obtain export licenses and/or letters of credit; (vi) delays originating from other contractors on the project; and (vii) shipping, logistics, and supply chain constraints.
As of June 30, 2026, our consolidated backlog totaled approximately $1.9 billion, compared to $1.8 billion as of June 30, 2025. Sales orders underlying our backlog are firm orders, although, from time to time we may agree to permit a customer to cancel an order, or an order may be cancelled for other reasons. Variations in the size of orders, product mix, or delivery requirements, among other factors, may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period. Backlog as of any particular date should not be relied upon as indicative of our revenues for any future period and should not be considered a meaningful indicator of our performance on an annual or quarterly basis.
Human Capital
The strength and talent of our workforce are critical to the success of our businesses, and we strive to attract, develop and retain personnel commensurate with the needs of our businesses. Our human capital management priorities are designed to support the execution of our business strategy and improve organizational effectiveness. We contribute to our employees’ financial, health, and social well-being through competitive compensation structures, including a robust employee stock purchase program and retirement benefits, as well as health and well-being programs focused on promoting the physical and mental health of our workforce. We also strive to create opportunities for career development and growth. We provide training and development programs to foster connections, leadership competency, and team and individual development, and we have a tuition reimbursement program to encourage ongoing education.
We understand the importance of a diverse workforce, and we are committed to upholding a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We value the unique contributions of our employees, and we hold firm to the ideals of fairness, equal opportunity and mutual respect for all forms of diversity and differing abilities. We are committed to pay equity and protecting the rights of underrepresented groups within our organization, including women, racial and ethnic minorities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Our broader diversity strategies include focus at all levels of our organization, including senior management and our Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2026, 42.2% of our global workforce was female and 52.7% of our U.S. workforce was ethnically diverse.
As of June 30, 2026, we employed 7,806 people, of whom 4,708 were employed in manufacturing, 625 were employed in engineering or research and development, 703 were employed in administration, 347 were employed in sales and marketing and 1,423 were employed in service capacities. Of the total employees, 2,538 were employed in the Americas, 4,061 were employed in Asia and 1,207 were employed in Europe.

Risk factors
As filed, 88,741 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Set forth below and elsewhere in this report and in other documents we file with the SEC are descriptions of the risks and uncertainties that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. We encourage you to carefully consider all such risk factors when making investment decisions regarding our company. If any such risks, or any other risks that we do not currently consider to be material, or which are not known to us, materialize, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Business and Industry Risks
If operators of, or algorithms installed on, our security and inspection systems fail to detect weapons, explosives or other devices or materials that are used to commit a crime, terrorist act or other mass casualty event, we could be exposed to product and professional liability and related claims for which we may not have adequate insurance coverage. Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the development, manufacturing, sale, maintenance and repair of security and inspection systems, software and threat detection algorithms, as well as in the provision of training to our customers in the use and operation of such systems. Our customers use our security and inspection systems to help them detect items that could be used in performing terrorist acts, mass casualty events or other crimes. Some of our security and inspection systems require that an operator interpret an image of suspicious items within a bag, parcel, container, vehicle or other vessel. Others rely on threat detection algorithms, or use such algorithms to signal to the operator that further investigation is recommended. The selection, training, supervision, reliability and competence of such operators are often crucial to the detection of suspicious items.
Security inspection systems that rely on threat detection algorithms or that use such algorithms to signal to the operator that further investigation is recommended are sometimes referred to in the security industry as “automatic” detection systems. If such a system were to fail to signal when an explosive, weapon or other contraband was present, resulting in loss of life or damage, we would be subject to risk of significant product liability claims. Security inspection by such technological means is circumstance and application-specific. Our security and inspection systems offer significant capabilities, but also have performance limitations and cannot be designed to reveal or detect contraband under all circumstances, particularly if criminal actors successfully conceal such items. They can also malfunction or underperform, including if not properly maintained or repaired.
We also offer various turnkey security screening solutions under which we perform some or all of the security screening tasks that have historically been performed by our customers, including the development, administration and performance of security screening procedures; operation of the security inspection systems; and analysis of images and information generated by such systems. Such projects expose us to professional liability risks that are inherent in performing security inspection services for the purpose of detecting contraband items, including items that could be used in performing terrorist acts, mass casualty events or other crimes. If a contraband item were to pass through the turnkey security services that we perform for a customer and be used to perform a terrorist act, mass casualty event or other crime, we would be subject to risk of significant professional liability claims for which adequate insurance coverage may not be available.
The loss of certain of our customers, including government agencies that can modify or terminate agreements more easily than other commercial customers with which we contract, the failure to continue to diversify our customer base or the non-renewal of certain material contracts could have a negative effect on our reputation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We sell many of our products to prominent, well-respected institutions, including agencies and departments of the U.S. Government, state and local governments, foreign governments, renowned hospitals and hospital networks, and large military defense and space industry contractors. Many of these larger customers spend considerable resources testing and evaluating our products and our design and manufacturing processes and services. Some of our smaller customers know this and rely on this as an indication of the quality and reliability of our products and services. As a result, part of our reputation and success depends on our ability to continue to sell to larger institutions that are known for demanding high standards of excellence. The loss or termination of a contract by such an institution, even if for reasons unrelated to the quality of our products or services, could therefore have a more wide-spread and potentially material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our acquisition and alliance activities could result in disruption of our ongoing business and other operational difficulties, unrecoverable costs, and other negative consequences, any of which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. We intend to continue to make investments in companies, products and technologies, either through acquisitions, investments or alliances. Acquisition and alliance activities often involve risks, including: (i) difficulty in assimilating the acquired operations and employees and realizing synergies; (ii) potential liabilities of, or claims against, an acquired company, some of which might not be known until after the acquisition; (iii) difficulty in managing product development activities with our alliance partners; (iv) difficulty in effectively coordinating sales and marketing efforts; (v) difficulty in combining product offerings and product lines quickly and effectively; (vi) difficulty in retaining the key employees of the acquired operation; (vii) disruption of our ongoing business, including diversion of management time; (viii) inability to successfully integrate the acquired technologies and operations into our businesses and maintain uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures; (ix) unanticipated changes in market or industry practices that adversely impact our strategic and financial expectations regarding an acquired company or acquired assets and require us to write off or dispose of such acquired company or assets; (x) lacking the experience necessary to enter into new product or technology markets successfully; and (xi) difficulty in integrating financial reporting systems and implementing controls, procedures and policies, including disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, appropriate for public companies of our size at companies that, prior to the acquisition, had lacked such controls, procedures and policies.
Integrating acquired businesses is complex, time consuming and expensive, and can negatively impact the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As a result of these and other risks, we cannot be certain that our acquisitions will be successful and will not materially adversely affect the conduct, operating results or financial condition of our business.
Substantial declines in crude oil prices or extended periods of low crude oil prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Some of our international customers have procurement budgets that are strongly correlated with fluctuations in the price of crude oil. Historically, the market for crude oil has been volatile and unpredictable. Crude oil prices are subject to rapid and significant fluctuations in response to global events and relatively minor changes in supply and demand. While factors relating the price of crude oil to demand for our products and services are complex, a period of depressed crude oil prices may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our financial results. Our international sales and our operations in foreign countries expose us to risks associated with fluctuating currency values and exchange rates. Gains and losses on the conversion of accounts receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars may contribute to fluctuations in our results of operations. We also use forward contracts which are intended to mitigate the impact of certain foreign currency exposures. These forward contracts may not completely offset foreign currency gains and losses. In addition, since we conduct business in currencies other than the U.S. dollar but report our financial results in U.S. dollars, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
U.S. budgeting process disruptions could reduce government spending, which could adversely impact our revenues, earnings, cash flows and financial condition. Funding for U.S. federal Government activities takes place on an annual basis with the Government fiscal year beginning on October 1 and ending on September 30. In recent years, the budgeting process has often not been completed by October 1st, which has required the temporary extension of funding authority. This in turn can and has resulted in temporary Government shutdowns, causing delays in procurements and contract awards. Because the provision of appropriated funds is undertaken on an annual basis and subject to budgetary rules and requirements, there can be disruptions to federal funding of current and future procurements.
We face aggressive competition in each of our operating divisions. If we do not compete effectively, our business will be harmed. We encounter aggressive competition from numerous competitors in each of our divisions. In the security and inspection and patient monitoring and cardiology systems markets, competition is based primarily on such factors as product performance, functionality and quality, prior customer relationships, technological capabilities of the product, price, certification by government authorities, past performance, local market presence and breadth of sales and service organization. In the optoelectronic devices and electronics manufacturing markets, competition is based primarily on factors such as expertise in the design and development of optoelectronic devices, product quality, timeliness of delivery, price, customer technical support and on the ability to provide fully-integrated services from application development and design through volume subsystem production. We may not be able to compete effectively with all of our competitors. To remain competitive, we must develop new products and enhance our existing products and services in a timely manner. We anticipate that we may have to downward adjust the prices of many of our products to stay competitive. In addition, new competitors may emerge and entire product lines or service offerings may be threatened by new technologies or market trends that reduce the value of these product lines or service offerings. Our failure to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Healthcare cost containment pressures and legislative or regulatory reforms may affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Third-party payers globally are developing increasingly sophisticated methods of controlling healthcare costs which can limit the amount that healthcare providers may be willing to pay for medical devices. In the United States, hospital and other healthcare provider customers that purchase our products typically bill various third-party payers to cover all or a portion of the costs and fees associated with the procedures or tests in which our products are used and bill patients for any deductibles or copayments. Because there is often no separate reimbursement for our products, any decline in the amount payers are willing to reimburse our customers for the procedures and tests associated with our products could make it difficult for customers to continue using, or adopt, our products and create additional pricing pressure for us.
There have been, and we expect there will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system, and some could significantly affect the ways in which doctors, hospitals, healthcare systems and health insurance companies are compensated for the services they provide, which could have a material impact on our business. It is not clear at this time what changes may impact the ability of hospitals and hospital networks to purchase the patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems that we sell or if it will alter market-based incentives that hospitals and hospital networks currently face to continually improve, upgrade and expand their use of such equipment. Efforts by governmental and third-party payers to reduce healthcare costs or the implementation of new legislative reforms imposing additional government controls could cause a reduction in sales or in the selling price of our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Consolidation in the healthcare industry could have a material and adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. The healthcare industry has been consolidating and organizations such as group purchasing organizations, independent delivery networks, and large single accounts continue to consolidate purchasing decisions for many of our healthcare provider customers. As a result, transactions with customers are larger, more complex and tend to involve more long-term contracts. The purchasing power of these larger customers has increased, and may continue to increase, causing downward pressure on product pricing. If we are not one of the providers selected by one of these organizations, we may be precluded from making sales to its members or participants. Even if we are one of the selected providers, we may be at a disadvantage relative to other selected providers that are able to offer volume discounts based on purchases of a broader range of products. Further, we may be required to commit to pricing that has a material adverse effect on our revenues and profit margins, business, financial condition and results of operations. We expect that market demand, governmental regulation, third-party reimbursement policies and societal pressures will continue to change the worldwide healthcare industry, resulting in further business consolidations and alliances, which may exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Technological advances and evolving regulatory standards could reduce our future product sales, which could cause our revenues to grow more slowly or decline. The markets for our products are characterized by rapidly changing technology, changing customer needs, evolving industry or regulatory standards and certifications and frequent new product introductions and enhancements. The emergence of new industry or regulatory standards and certification requirements may adversely affect the demand for our current products. In addition, any products or processes that we currently offer or plan to develop may become obsolete or uneconomical before we recover all or any of the expenses incurred in connection with their development. We cannot provide assurance that we will succeed in developing and marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change, new industry standards, evolving customer requirements or competitive products on a timely and cost‑effective basis. Additionally, even if we are able to develop new products and product enhancements to meet any such standards, we cannot provide assurance that they will be profitable or that they will achieve market acceptance. We also develop certain of our security inspection technologies to meet the certification requirements of various government regulatory agencies worldwide. Such standards change as threat and risk assessments evolve and as new technology becomes available within the industry, which enables regulators to demand performance improvements. We may not ultimately be able to develop, or develop in a timely way, solutions that meet the new standards.
Certain of our government contracts are dependent upon our employees obtaining and maintaining required security clearances, as well as our ability to obtain security clearances for the facilities in which we perform sensitive government work. Certain of our government contracts require our employees to maintain various levels of security clearances, and we are required to maintain certain facility security clearances. If we cannot maintain or obtain the required security clearances for our facilities and our employees, or obtain these clearances in a timely manner, we may be unable to perform certain government contracts. Further, loss of a facility clearance, or an employee’s failure to obtain or maintain a security clearance, could result in a government customer terminating an existing contract or choosing not to renew a contract. Lack of required clearances could also impede our ability to bid on or win new government contracts. This could damage our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation, or exposure to additional tax liabilities. We are subject to taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change due to economic and political conditions or otherwise. Our effective tax rates could be affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or adoption of new tax legislation or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. We are also subject to the examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities and governmental bodies. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of these examinations. If our effective tax rates were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
Geopolitical instability and conflicts in the Middle East could adversely affect our operations, supply chain, and financial performance. Ongoing military conflict and political instability in the Middle East have created heightened uncertainty in global markets. Escalating hostilities in the region, including disruptions affecting key shipping lanes and energy-producing areas, may result in increased transportation costs, longer transit times, or interruptions in the availability of critical materials. These conditions could impair our ability to fulfill customer orders and maintain normal production schedules and could disrupt customer operations, procurement activities, and project timing. In addition, conflict-related volatility in global oil and gas markets may lead to higher input costs, inflationary pressure, and reduced customer demand in certain end markets. If the conflict expands geographically or intensifies, governments may impose new sanctions, export controls, or other regulatory restrictions that limit our ability to transact with certain suppliers, customers, or financial institutions.
We also rely on third-party logistics providers and carriers that operate in or near affected regions. Any disruption to their operations—including port closures, airspace restrictions, or rerouting of vessels—could materially affect our delivery timelines and cost structure. Because the duration and outcome of the conflict are uncertain, we may experience additional unforeseen impacts. Any of these factors, individually or collectively, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We cannot predict the consequences of current or future geopolitical events, but they may adversely affect the markets in which we operate and our results of operations. Ongoing instability and current conflicts in global markets, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities and other recent geopolitical events throughout the world, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East and its regional effects, and increased tensions in Asia, have created and may continue to create economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, and profitability. These types of matters cause uncertainty in financial markets and may significantly increase the political, economic and social instability in the geographic areas in which we operate. In addition, in connection with the current status of international relations with Russia, particularly in light of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. Government has imposed enhanced export controls on certain products and sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia. The governments of other jurisdictions in which we operate, such as the European Union and Canada, may also implement sanctions or other restrictive measures. These potential sanctions and export controls, as well as any responses from Russia, could adversely affect us and/or our supply chain, business partners, or customers.
Operational Risks
As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to extensive Federal procurement rules and regulations as well as contractual obligations that are unique to doing business with the U.S. Government. Non-compliance with any such rules, regulations or contractual obligations could negatively affect current programs, potential awards and our ability to do business with the U.S. Government in the future. U.S. Government contractors must comply with extensive procurement regulations and other requirements. In addition, U.S. Government contracts typically contain provisions and are subject to laws and regulations that provide government agencies rights not typically found in commercial contracts, including the ability to: (i) terminate, reduce the value of, or otherwise modify existing contracts; (ii) suspend or prohibit us from doing business with the government or a specific government agency; and (iii) claim rights in technologies and systems invented, developed or produced by us, in whole or in part, at the government’s expense. U.S. Government agencies and the agencies of many other governments with which we contract can terminate their contracts with us for convenience, and in that event, we generally may recover only our incurred costs and expenses on the work completed prior to termination. If an agency terminates a contract with us for default, we may be denied any recovery and may be liable for excess costs incurred by the agency in procuring undelivered items from an alternative source. Decisions by an agency to terminate one of our contracts for default could negatively affect our ability to win future awards not only from such agency, but also from other government agencies and commercial customers, many of whom evaluate past performance, or are required to review past performance information, when making their procurement decisions. U.S. Government agencies may also initiate civil False Claims Act litigation against us based on allegations related to our performance of contracts for the U.S. Government, or to our compliance with procurement regulations and other legal requirements to which such contracts are subject, or both. Such litigation can be expensive to defend and if found liable can result in treble damages and significant civil penalties. The U.S. Government may also initiate administrative proceedings that, if resulting in an adverse finding against us or any of our subsidiaries as to our present responsibility to be a U.S. Government contractor or subcontractor, could result in our company or our subsidiaries being suspended for a period of time from eligibility for award of new government contracts or task orders or in a loss of export privileges and, if satisfying the requisite level of seriousness, in our debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government for a specified term as well as being subject to other remedies available to the U.S. Government. The occurrence of any of the foregoing events could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Due to the competitive process to obtain contracts and the likelihood of protests, we may be unable to achieve or sustain revenue growth and profitability. A significant portion of our business is generally awarded through a competitive bidding process, which involves substantial costs, including cost and time to prepare bids and proposals for contracts that may not be awarded to us, may be split among competitors or that may be awarded but for which we do not receive meaningful task orders. Following contract award, we may encounter significant expense, delay, contract modifications or even contract loss as a result of our competitors protesting the award of contracts to us in competitive bidding. Any resulting loss or delay of start-up and funding of work under protested contract awards may adversely affect our revenues and profitability. In addition, multi-award contracts require that we make sustained post-award efforts to obtain task orders under the contract. As a result, we may not be able to obtain these task orders or recognize revenues under these multi-award contracts. Our failure to compete effectively in this procurement environment would adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
Our revenues are dependent on orders of security and inspection systems, turnkey security screening solutions and patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems, which may have lengthy and unpredictable sales cycles. Sales of security and inspection systems and turnkey security screening solutions often depend upon the decision of governmental agencies to upgrade or expand existing airports, border crossing inspection sites, seaport inspection sites, military facilities and other security installations. In the case of turnkey security screening solutions, the commencement of screening operations may be dependent on the approval, by a government agency, of the protocols and procedures that our personnel are to follow during the performance of their activities. In addition, turnkey screening solutions projects require that we hire and manage large numbers of local personnel in jurisdictions where we may not have previously operated. Sales outside of the United States of our patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems depend in significant part on the decision of governmental agencies to build new medical facilities or to expand or update existing medical facilities. Accordingly, a significant portion of our sales of security and inspection systems, turnkey security screening solutions and our patient monitoring and cardiology and remote monitoring systems is often subject to delays associated with the lengthy approval processes. During these approval periods, we expend significant financial and management resources in anticipation of future revenues that may not occur. If we fail to receive such revenues after expending such resources, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we do not introduce new products in a timely manner, our products could become obsolete and our operating results would suffer. We sell many of our products in industries characterized by rapid technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards and customer needs. Without the timely introduction of new products and enhancements, our products could become technologically obsolete over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. The success of our new product offerings will depend upon several factors, including our ability to: (i) accurately anticipate customer needs; (ii) innovate and develop new technologies and applications; (iii) successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner; (iv) price our products competitively and manufacture and deliver our products in sufficient volumes and on time; and (v) differentiate our offerings from our competitors’ offerings. Some of our products are used by our customers to develop, test and manufacture their products. We therefore must anticipate industry trends and develop products in advance of the commercialization of our customers’ products. In developing any new product, we may be required to make a substantial investment before we can determine the commercial viability of the new product. If we fail to accurately foresee our customers’ needs and future activities, we may invest heavily in research and development of products that do not lead to significant revenues.
Increased prices for, and interruptions in our ability to purchase, raw materials and subcomponents may adversely affect our profitability. In recent years, inflation and supply chain constraints have resulted in increases in the prices we pay third parties for many of the subcomponents and raw materials used in our products. We generally do not have guaranteed long-term supply arrangements with our suppliers. In addition, for certain raw materials and subcomponents that we use, there are a limited number of potential suppliers that we have qualified or that we are currently able to qualify. Consequently, some of the key raw materials and subcomponents that we use are currently available to us only from a single vendor. The reliance on a single qualified vendor could result in delays in delivering products or increases in the cost of manufacturing the affected products. Any material interruption in our ability to purchase necessary raw materials or subcomponents or a significant increase in price of raw materials or subcomponents could adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and therefore could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We contract with third parties that may be unable to fulfill contracts on time. We contract with third-party vendors to service our equipment in the field. In addition, some of these vendors maintain stocks of spare parts that are more efficiently accessed in conjunction with a service agreement than would be the case if we were to maintain such spare parts independently. Any material interruption in the ability of our vendors to fulfill such service contracts could adversely affect our ability to fulfill customer orders and therefore could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, purchasers of our security and inspection systems and turnkey security screening solutions sometimes require the construction of the facilities that will house our systems and/or operations. We engage qualified construction firms to perform this work. However, if such firms experience delays, if they perform sub-standard work or if we fail to properly monitor the quality of their work or the timeliness of their progress, we may not be able to complete our construction projects on time. In any such circumstance, we could face the imposition of delay penalties and breach of contract claims by our customer. Any material delay caused by our construction firm subcontractors could therefore ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We accumulate excess quantities or elevated inventory levels from time to time. Because of long lead times and specialized product designs, in certain cases we purchase components and manufacture products in anticipation of customer orders based on customer forecasts. For a variety of reasons, such as decreased end-user demand for our products or other factors, our customers might not purchase all the products that we have manufactured or for which we have purchased components. If we are unsuccessful in recouping our material and manufacturing costs, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because of the complex customer acceptance criteria associated with some of our products, on some occasions, the title of which or risk of loss has passed to our customers are still included in our inventory until revenue recognition criteria are met. As a result, inventory levels are elevated from time to time.
Economic, political, legal, operational and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect our financial performance. Our businesses are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Many of our manufacturing facilities, and therefore employees, suppliers, real property, capital equipment, cash and other assets are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including without limitation: (i) changes in foreign currency exchange rates; (ii) changes in a country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly in developing or emerging markets; (iii) political and economic instability, including the possibility of civil unrest, terrorism, mass violence or armed conflict; (iv) geopolitical events, wars and military conflicts; (v) longer payment cycles of foreign customers and difficulty of collecting receivables in foreign jurisdictions; (vi) imposition of domestic and international taxes, export controls, tariffs, embargoes, sanctions, trade disputes, and other trade restrictions; (vii) difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations; (viii) difficulty in managing distributors and sales agents and their compliance with applicable laws; (ix) changes in a foreign government’s budget, leadership and national priorities; (x) increased legal risks arising from differing legal systems; and (xi) compliance with export control and anticorruption legislation.
The enactment of tariffs by the U.S. Government, along with the unpredictability of the rates and other potential actions that may be taken by the U.S. Government and foreign governments (including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs or quotas, reciprocal tariffs, embargoes, sanctions and counter sanctions, safeguards or customs restrictions) may materially increase our costs and reduce our margins. These actions may also lead to higher pricing for our products, potentially reducing consumer demand and impacting our sales. We are actively monitoring the impact of any tariffs that become effective, as well as potential retaliatory actions by other countries. We are currently taking actions to mitigate this cost pressure, including accelerating, increasing or canceling inventory, further diversifying suppliers and re-sourcing to countries with lower tariffs, working with longstanding factory partners to reduce costs, identifying further cost reductions across our business, planning for strategic price increases and pursuing potential tariff refunds. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to implement any strategies in a timely fashion, that these measures will be successful, or that they will offset the negative impact of the tariffs and other government actions on our business.
Given the uncertainty regarding scope and duration of the current and potential tariffs, as well as the potential for additional trade actions by the U.S. or other countries, the specific impact to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition is uncertain but could be material.
There are inherent risks associated with operations in Mexico. We are currently in the process of fulfilling agreements to provide cargo and vehicle inspection systems and related services to government customers in Mexico. The following are certain risks to operating in Mexico that could adversely impact our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations: (i) ability of key suppliers and subcontractors to fulfill obligations on a timely basis; (ii) cooperation of various departments of the Mexican government in issuing permits, and inspecting our operations on a timely basis; (iii) receipt of payments in a timely manner; (iv) significant penalties in the event of our late delivery or non-performance; (v) termination or change in scope of program at the election of the Mexican government; (vi) regional political and economic instability; (vii) high rate of crime in Mexico where we conduct operations; (viii) change in the value of the Mexican peso; and (ix) changes in administration of various departments in the Mexican government associated with our agreements.
Our operations are vulnerable to interruption or loss due to natural disasters, epidemics or pandemics such as COVID-19, terrorist acts and other events beyond our control, which could adversely impact our operations. Although we perform manufacturing in multiple locations, we generally do not have redundant manufacturing capabilities in place for any particular product or component. As a result, we depend on our current facilities for the continued operation of our business. A natural disaster, epidemic or pandemic, terrorist act, act of war, civil unrest, or other natural or manmade disaster affecting any of our facilities could significantly disrupt our operations, or delay or prevent product manufacturing and shipment for the time required to repair, rebuild, or replace our manufacturing facilities. This delay could be lengthy and we could incur significant expenses to repair or replace the facilities. Any similar natural or manmade disaster that affects a key supplier or customer could lead to a similar disruption in our business.
Any recall of our products, either voluntarily or at the direction of the FDA or another governmental authority, or the discovery of serious safety issues with our products that leads to corrective actions, could have a material adverse impact on us. All medical devices can experience performance problems that require review and possible corrective action by us or a component supplier. Component failures, manufacturing errors, noncompliance with quality system requirements or good manufacturing practices, design defects, software defects or labeling inadequacies in any device could result in an unsafe condition or injury to the patient. The FDA and similar foreign governmental authorities have the authority to require the recall of commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture of a product or if a product poses an unacceptable risk to health. Manufacturers may also, under their own initiative, stop shipment or recall a product if any material deficiency is found or withdraw a product to improve device performance or for other reasons. A government mandated or voluntary recall by us could occur as a result of an unacceptable risk to health, component failures, manufacturing errors, noncompliance with good manufacturing practices or quality system requirements, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues. Similar regulatory agencies in other countries have similar authority to recall products because of material deficiencies or defects in design or manufacture that could endanger health. A recall involving our products could be particularly harmful to our business, financial and operating results. In addition, under the FDA’s medical device reporting regulations, we are required to report to the FDA any incident in which our product may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or in which our product malfunctioned and, if the malfunction were to recur, would likely cause or contribute to death or serious injury. A future recall announcement could harm our reputation with customers and negatively affect our sales. In addition, the FDA or a foreign governmental authority could take enforcement action for failing to report the recalls when they were conducted.
Depending on the corrective action we take to redress a product’s deficiencies or defects, the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory authority may require, or we may decide, that we will need to obtain new approvals or clearances for the device before we may market or distribute the corrected device. Seeking such approvals or clearances may delay our ability to replace the recalled devices in a timely manner. Moreover, we may face additional regulatory enforcement action, including FDA warning letters, product seizure, injunctions, administrative penalties, civil penalties or criminal fines. We may also be required to bear other costs or take other actions that may have a negative impact on our sales as well as face material adverse publicity or regulatory consequences, which could harm our business, including our ability to market our products in the future. Any adverse event involving our products, whether in the United States or abroad, could result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as recalls or customer notifications, or agency action, such as inspection, mandatory recall, orders of repair, replacement or refund or other enforcement action. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending ourselves in a lawsuit, will require the dedication of our time and capital and may harm our reputation and financial results.
We rely on third parties and our own systems for interaction with our customers and suppliers and employees, and a failure of a key information technology system, process or site or any other failure or interruption in the services provided by these third parties or our own systems could have a material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business. We rely extensively on our information technology systems and systems and services provided by third parties to interact with our employees and our customers and suppliers. These interactions include, but are not limited to, ordering and managing materials from suppliers, converting materials to finished products, shipping product to customers, processing transactions, summarizing and reporting results of operations, transmitting data used by our service personnel and by and among our wide-spread personnel and facilities, complying with regulatory, legal and tax requirements, and other processes necessary to manage our business. We do not control our third-party service providers and we do not maintain redundant systems for some of such services, increasing our vulnerability to problems with such services. If the systems on which we rely are damaged or cease to function properly due to any number of causes, ranging from failures of our third-party service providers to catastrophic events, to power outages, to security breaches, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage operations which may adversely impact our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
We could suffer a loss of revenue and increased costs, exposure to significant liability, reputational harm, and other serious negative consequences if we sustain cyber-attacks or other data security breaches that disrupt our operations or result in the dissemination of proprietary or confidential information about us or our customers, suppliers, or other third parties; our products and services may be subject to potential cyber-attacks or other information technology vulnerabilities. We manage and store proprietary, sensitive and confidential data related to our business operations. We may be subject to cyber-attacks and breaches of the information technology systems we use for these purposes. Threat actors may be able to penetrate our network and application security and misappropriate or compromise our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions, or cause operational harm. Hackers may also be able to deploy viruses, worms, malware, ransomware and other malicious software programs that attack our systems or otherwise exploit security vulnerabilities in our systems or products. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacturing, including “vulnerabilities,” “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of our systems or products. Cyber-threats vary in technique, are persistent, frequently change, and increasingly are more sophisticated, targeted, and difficult to detect or prevent. We expend significant capital and resources to protect against the threat of security breaches, including cyber-attacks, viruses, worms, malware, ransomware and other malicious software programs. Substantial additional expenditures may be required before or after a cyber-attack to mitigate or alleviate problems caused by unauthorized access, theft of data stored within our information systems, or the introduction of computer malware or ransomware to our environment. Our remediation efforts may not be successful, and there could be interruptions, delays, or cessation of service due to cyber-attacks or other data security breaches.
We often identify attempts to gain unauthorized access to our systems. Given the rapidly evolving nature and proliferation of cyber-threats, there can be no assurance that our employee training, operational, and other technical security measures or other controls will detect, prevent or remediate security or data breaches in a timely manner or otherwise prevent unauthorized access, damage, or interruption of our systems and operations. We are likely to face attempted cyber-attacks in the future. Cyber threat activity is expected to accelerate as adversaries increasingly leverage AI to enhance attack sophistication and scale. Accordingly, we may be vulnerable to losses associated with the improper functioning, security breach, or unavailability of our information systems as well as any systems used in acquired operations. In addition, breaches of our security measures and the unapproved use or disclosure of proprietary information or sensitive or confidential data about us or our suppliers, customers or other third parties could expose us or any such affected third party to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, result in litigation and potential liability for us, damage our brand and reputation or otherwise harm our business, even if we were not responsible for the breach. Furthermore, we are exposed to additional risks because we rely in certain capacities on third-party software, data management, and cloud service providers with possible security problems and security vulnerabilities beyond our control. Media or other reports of perceived security vulnerabilities to our systems or those of our third-party suppliers, even if no breach has been attempted or occurred, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and materially and adversely impact our business.
Our products and services may also be at risk of cyber-attacks and security breaches. While we design and build security measures into our products and services, once installed and implemented at customer sites those measures may not prevent all cybersecurity attacks targeted against their networks and datacenters, such as the unauthorized access, capture, or alteration of information; the exposure or exploitation of potential security vulnerabilities; distributed denial of service attacks; the installation of malware or ransomware; acts of vandalism; computer viruses; or misplaced data or data loss.
A significant actual or perceived (whether or not valid) theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of customer, employee, or other personally identifiable data, whether by us, our partners and vendors, or other third parties, or as a result of employee error or malfeasance or otherwise, non-compliance with applicable industry standards or our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such data, or a violation of our privacy and information security policies with respect to such data, could result in costs, fines, litigation, or regulatory actions against us. Such an event could additionally result in unfavorable publicity and therefore materially and adversely affect the market’s perception of the security and reliability of our products and services and our credibility and reputation with our customers. Given increasing cybersecurity threats, there can be no assurance that we will not experience business interruptions, data loss, ransom, misappropriation, or corruption or theft or misuse of proprietary information or related litigation and investigation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and harm our business reputation.
Delays, costs, and disruptions that result from upgrading, integrating and maintaining the security of our information and technology networks and systems could materially and adversely affect us. We are dependent on information technology networks and systems, including Internet and Internet-based or “cloud” computing services, to collect, process, transmit, and store electronic information. We are currently modernizing and upgrading our information technology systems while also simultaneously integrating systems from our various acquisitions, including making changes to legacy systems, and replacing some legacy systems with new and advanced functionality. While upgrading and implementing changes to any one of our systems could present challenges, the age of our systems and architecture may present unique challenges that we have not previously encountered as we undertake these efforts. There are inherent costs and risks associated with integrating, replacing and changing these systems and implementing new systems, including potential disruption of our sales and operations, potential disruption of our internal control structure, substantial capital expenditures, additional administration and operating expenses, demands on management time, securing our systems along with dependent processes from cybersecurity threats, and other risks and costs of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems or of integrating new systems into our current systems. The implementation of or delay in implementing new information technology systems may also cause disruptions in our business operations and impede our ability to comply with constantly evolving laws, regulations and industry standards addressing information and technology networks, privacy and data security, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our inability to successfully manage the implementation of a company-wide enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system could adversely affect our operating results. We are in the process of implementing a new company-wide ERP system. This process has been and continues to be complex and time-consuming, and we expect to incur additional capital outlays and expenses. This ERP system will modernize and replace many of our existing operating and financial systems, which is a major undertaking from a financial management and personnel perspective. Should the new ERP system not be implemented successfully throughout all our business units, be significantly delayed or over-budget or if the system does not perform in a satisfactory manner, it could be disruptive and adversely affect our operations, including our potential ability to report accurate, timely and consistent financial results, our ability to purchase supplies, components and raw materials from suppliers, and our ability to timely deliver products and services to customers and/or collect receivables from them. If the new ERP system is not successfully and fully implemented, it could negatively affect our financial reporting, inventory management, future sales, profitability and financial condition.
Our credit facility contains provisions that could restrict our ability to finance our future operations or engage in other business activities that may be in our interest. Our credit facility contains a number of significant covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to: (i) dispose of assets; (ii) incur certain additional indebtedness; (iii) repay certain indebtedness; (iv) create liens on assets; (v) pay dividends on our common stock; (vi) make certain investments, loans and advances; (vii) repurchase or redeem capital stock; (viii) make certain capital expenditures; (ix) engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations; and (x) engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. These covenants could limit our ability to plan for or react to market conditions, finance our operations, engage in strategic acquisitions or disposals or meet our capital needs or could otherwise restrict our activities or business plans. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control. In addition, our credit facility also requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios. Our inability to comply with the required financial ratios or covenants could result in an event of default under our credit facility. A default, if not cured or waived, may permit acceleration of our indebtedness. In addition, our lenders could terminate their commitments to make further extensions of credit under our credit facility. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds to pay the accelerated indebtedness or that we will have the ability to refinance accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are not able to refinance existing indebtedness on acceptable terms, our ability to finance our operations, engage in strategic acquisitions, and otherwise meet our capital needs would be significantly impaired. As further discussed in Note 8, we amended and extended our credit facility in July 2025.
Shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) or the 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), collectively the “Notes”, may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The conversion of any portion of the Notes may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the Notes, the default settlement method is a combination settlement with a specified dollar amount of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of notes and shares of our common stock as described in Note 8. Any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. Also the existence of the Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the Notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.
Our indebtedness (including the Notes) could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our debt obligations, including the Notes. Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things: (i) increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions; (ii) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing; (iii) requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes; (iv) limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business; and (v) placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital. Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, including the Notes, and our cash needs may increase in the future. If we fail to comply with debt covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in such indebtedness and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.
We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes for cash following a fundamental change, or to pay the cash amounts due upon conversion, and our other indebtedness may limit our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay cash upon their conversion. Noteholders may, subject to a limited exception, require us to repurchase their Notes following a fundamental change (as defined in the Convertible Note Indenture) at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the related fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, all conversions of Notes require the principal amount to be settled in cash. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion. Our existing credit facility contains certain limitations on cash payments for the conversion, redemption or repurchase of the Notes, including compliance with certain leverage ratios on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such cash payments. Our failure to repurchase Notes or pay the cash amounts due upon conversion when required will constitute a default under the Note Indenture. A default under the Note Indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the other indebtedness and the Notes.
Provisions in the Note Indenture could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us. Certain provisions in the Notes and the Note Indenture could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental change, then, subject to certain exceptions, noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their 2029 Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change, then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the Notes and the Note Indenture could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that noteholders or holders of our common stock may view as favorable.
The accounting method for the Notes could adversely affect our reported financial condition and results. The accounting method for reflecting the Notes on our balance sheet, accruing interest expense for the 2029 Notes and potential inclusion of underlying shares of our common stock in our reported diluted earnings per share may adversely affect our reported earnings and financial condition. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Notes are reflected as a liability on our balance sheets, with the initial carrying amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes, net of issuance costs. The issuance costs are treated as a debt discount for accounting purposes, which are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Notes. As a result of this amortization, the interest expense that we expect to recognize for the Notes for accounting purposes will be greater than the cash interest payments we will pay on the Notes, which will result in lower reported income. In addition, the shares underlying the Notes will be reflected in our diluted earnings per share using the “if converted” method. Under that method, the potential common shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes will have a net impact on diluted earnings per share when the average price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price because the principal amount of the Notes will be settled in cash upon conversion, then we will calculate our diluted earnings per share assuming that all of the Notes were converted at the beginning of the reporting period and that we issued shares of our common stock to settle the excess. The after-tax interest expense associated with the Notes will not be added back to the numerator of the diluted earnings per share calculation for these purposes. The application of the if-converted method may reduce our reported diluted earnings per share, and accounting standards may change in the future in a manner that may adversely affect our diluted earnings per share. Furthermore, if any of the conditions to the convertibility of the Notes is satisfied, then we may be required under applicable accounting standards to reclassify the liability carrying value of the Notes as a current, rather than a long-term, liability. This reclassification could be required even if no noteholders convert their Notes and could materially reduce our reported working capital.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
The Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (SAFETY Act) may not shield us against legal claims we may face following an act of terrorism. The SAFETY Act provides important legal liability protections for providers of qualified anti-terrorism products and services. Under the SAFETY Act, providers, such as our Security division, may apply to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for coverage of their products and services. If granted coverage, such providers receive certain legal protections against product liability, professional liability and certain other claims that could arise following an act of terrorism. We have applied to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for many of the products and services offered by our Security division, but we do not enjoy coverage under the SAFETY Act (or the highest level of coverage) for every product line, model number and service offering that our Security division provides. Also, the terms of the SAFETY Act coverage decisions awarded to us by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security restrict coverage to specific model numbers, software, and options within our product lines, sales to specific customers, and impose various other limitations, and contain conditions and requirements that we may not continue to satisfy in the future. Delays by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in granting coverage and in our ability to meet the evolving standards of the SAFETY Act application process has and may in the future continue to result in coverage limitations for our products and services. If we fail to maintain SAFETY Act protections for each of our product models, options, offerings, software and services, or fail to apply in a timely way for coverage for new products, models, and services as we acquire or introduce them, or if the U.S. Department of Homeland Security limits the scope of any coverage previously awarded to us, denies us coverage or continued coverage for a particular product, product line, model, option, offering, software feature, or service, or delays in making decisions about whether to grant us coverage, we may become exposed to legal claims that the SAFETY Act was otherwise designed to prevent. Moreover, the SAFETY Act was not designed to shield providers of qualified anti-terrorism products and services from all types of claims that may arise from acts of terrorism, including from many types of claims lodged in courts outside of the United States or acts of terrorism that occur outside of the United States, which exposes us to legal claims and litigation defense costs despite the SAFETY Act awards we have received.
Our patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems could give rise to product liability claims and product recall events that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The development, manufacturing and sale of medical devices expose us to significant risk of product liability claims, product recalls and, sometimes, product failure claims. We face an inherent business risk of financial exposure to product liability claims if the use of our medical devices results in personal injury or death. Substantial product liability litigation currently exists within the medical device industry. Some of our patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care products may become subject to product liability claims and/or product recalls. Future product liability claims and/or product recall costs may exceed the limits of our insurance coverages, or such insurance may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, a significant product liability claim or product recall could significantly damage our reputation for producing safe, reliable and effective products, making it more difficult for us to market and sell our products in the future. Consequently, a product liability claim, product recall or other claim could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our global operations expose us to legal compliance risks related to certain anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. We are required to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits United States companies from engaging in bribery or making other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. It also requires us to maintain specific record-keeping standards and adequate internal accounting controls. In addition, we are subject to similar requirements in other countries. Bribery, corruption, and trade laws and regulations, and the enforcement thereof, are increasing in frequency, complexity and severity on a global basis. Although we have internal policies and procedures with the intention of assuring compliance with these laws and regulations, our employees, distributors, resellers and contractors involved in our international sales may take actions in violations of such policies. If our internal controls and compliance program do not adequately prevent or deter our employees, distributors, resellers, contractors and/or other third parties with which we do business from violating anti-bribery, anti-corruption or similar laws and regulations, we may incur severe fines, penalties and reputational damage.
We are subject to import and export controls that could subject us to liability or impair our ability to compete in international markets. Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a complex system of import - and export-related laws and regulations, including U.S. export control and customs regulations and customs regulations of other countries. These regulations are complex and vary among the legal jurisdictions in which we operate. Any alleged or actual failure to comply with such regulations may subject us to government scrutiny, investigation, and civil and criminal penalties, and may limit our ability to import or export our products or to provide services outside the United States. Depending on severity, any of these penalties could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and international laws and regulation regarding privacy and data protection. If we fail to meet our compliance obligations under applicable privacy and data protection regulations, even if such compliance by us is inadvertent, or if we are unable to comply with changes to such requirements, we might be subject to fines, legal disputes, or other liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Regulatory authorities around the world are considering legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection, and the interpretation and application of data protection laws in the U.S., the EU, and elsewhere are often uncertain and in flux. These laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If our data practices are found to be in conflict with privacy and data protection laws or regulations, we could face fines or orders requiring that we change our data practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We must comply with extensive federal and state requirements regarding the use, retention, security, and re-disclosure of patient healthcare information. HIPAA and the regulations that have been issued under it contain substantial restrictions and complex requirements with respect to the use and disclosure of certain individually identifiable health information, referred to as “protected health information”. Any failure or perceived failure of our Company or our products to meet HIPAA standards and related regulatory requirements could expose us to certain notification, penalty, and enforcement risks, damage our reputation, and adversely affect demand for our products and force us to expend significant capital and other resources to address the privacy and security requirements of HIPAA.
In addition, there are other federal laws that include specific privacy and security obligations for certain types of health information and impose additional sanctions and penalties. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have enacted legislation requiring notice to individuals of security breaches involving protected health information, which is not uniformly defined among the breach notification laws. Organizations must review each state’s definitions, mandates, and notification requirements and timelines to appropriately prepare and notify affected individuals and government agencies, including the attorney general, in compliance with such state laws. Further, most states have enacted patient confidentiality laws that protect against the disclosure of confidential medical information, and many states have adopted or are considering adopting further legislation in this area. These state laws may be more stringent than HIPAA requirements. California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act which came into effect January 1, 2020 and was amended and expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA, which came into effect on January 1, 2023, which imposes significant changes in data privacy regulation, and New York has passed the Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act, which expands the state’s existing privacy laws. GDPR, a regulation implemented in the EU on data protection and privacy for all individuals in the EU and the EEA, applies to all enterprises, regardless of location, that are doing business in the EU or that collect and analyze data tied to EU and EEA residents. GDPR creates a range of compliance obligations, including stringent technical and security controls surrounding the storage, use, and disclosure of personal information, and significantly increases financial penalties for noncompliance.
We are facing an increasingly complex international regulatory environment which is constantly changing and if we fail to comply with international regulatory requirements, or are unable to comply with changes to such requirements, our financial performance may be harmed. Our international operations and sales subject us to an international regulatory environment which is becoming increasingly complex and is constantly changing due to factors beyond our control. Risks associated with our international operations and sales include, without limitation, those arising from differing: (i) legal and court systems and changes to such systems; (ii) labor laws and changes in those laws; (iii) tax laws and changes in those laws; (iv) environmental laws and changes in those laws; (v) laws governing our distributors and sales agents and changes in those laws; (vi) protection of intellectual property and changes in that protection; and (vii) differing import and export requirements and changes to those requirements. If we fail to comply with applicable international regulatory requirements our financial performance may be harmed.
Substantial government regulation in the United States and abroad may restrict our ability to sell our patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our business. The FDA and comparable regulatory authorities in foreign countries extensively and rigorously regulate our patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems, including the research and development, design, testing, clinical trials, manufacturing, clearance or approval, safety and efficacy, labeling, advertising, promotion, pricing, recordkeeping, reporting, import and export, post-approval studies and sale and distribution of these products. In the United States, before we can market a new medical device, or a new use of, new claim for, or significant modification to, an existing product, we must first receive clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act as discussed under Part I, Item 1, “Business - Regulation of Medical Devices.” Some modifications made to products cleared through a 510(k) may require a new 510(k). The FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a device for many reasons.
Our future products may not obtain FDA clearance on a timely basis, or at all. Further, the FDA makes periodic inspections of medical device manufacturers and in connection with such inspections issues observations when the FDA believes the manufacturer has failed to comply with applicable regulations. If FDA observations are not addressed to the FDA’s satisfaction, the FDA may issue a warning letter or proceed directly to other forms of enforcement action, which could include the shutdown of our production facilities, adverse publicity, and civil and criminal penalties. The expense and costs of any corrective actions that we may take, which may include product recalls, correction and removal of products from customer sites and/or changes to our product manufacturing and quality systems, could adversely impact our financial results. Issuance of a warning letter may also lead customers to delay purchasing decisions or cancel orders.
Our patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems must also comply with the laws and regulations of foreign countries in which we develop, manufacture and market such products. In general, the extent and complexity of medical device regulation is increasing worldwide. This trend is likely to continue, and the cost and time required to obtain marketing clearance in any given country may increase as a result. Our products may not obtain any necessary foreign clearances on a timely basis, or at all. Once any of our patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, or connected care systems is cleared for sale, regulatory authorities may still limit the use of such product, prevent its sale or manufacture or require a recall or withdrawal of such product from the marketplace. Following initial clearance from regulatory authorities, we continue to be subject to extensive regulatory requirements. Government authorities can withdraw marketing clearance or impose sanctions due to our failure to comply with regulatory standards or due to the occurrence of unforeseen problems following initial clearance. Ongoing regulatory requirements are wide-ranging and govern, among other things: (i) annual inspections to retain a CE mark for sale of products in the EU; (ii) product manufacturing; (iii) patient health data protection and medical device security; (iv) supplier substitution; (v) product changes; (vi) process modifications; (vii) medical device reporting; and (viii) product sales and distribution.
Legislative or regulatory reforms such as the EU Medical Devices Regulation may make it more difficult and costly for us to obtain certification, regulatory clearance, or approval of any future products and to manufacture, market, and distribute our products after certification, clearance, or approval is obtained. The EU MDR introduced substantial changes to the obligations with which medical device manufacturers must comply in the EEA. High - risk medical devices are subject to additional scrutiny during the conformity assessment procedure. The EU MDR is directly applicable, without the need for adoption by EEA country laws implementing them, in all EEA countries and intended to eliminate current differences in regulation of medical devices among EEA countries. The EU MDR, among other things, is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework across the EEA for medical devices to ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation. The EU MDR imposes a number of new requirements on manufacturers of medical devices and imposes increased compliance obligations for us to access the EEA market. Our failure to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, including those administered by authorities of the EEA countries, could result in enforcement actions against us and impair our ability to market products in the EEA in the future. Any changes to the membership of the EU, such as the departure of the United Kingdom under Brexit, may impact the regulatory requirements for impacted countries and impair our business operations and our ability to market products in such countries. For further discussion of the EU MDR, see Part I, Item 1, “Business - Regulation of Medical Devices.”
We may be subject to fines, penalties, injunctions, or other enforcement actions if we are determined to be promoting the use of our products for unapproved or “off label” uses, resulting in damage to our reputation and business. Our promotional materials and training methods must comply with FDA and other applicable laws and regulations, including the prohibition of the promotion of a medical device for a use that has not been cleared or approved by the FDA known as “off label” use. If the FDA determines that our promotional materials or training constitutes promotion of an off label use, it could request that we modify our training or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of warning letters, untitled letters, fines, penalties, consent decrees, injunctions, or seizures, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation and financial results. We could also be subject to enforcement action under other federal or state laws, including the False Claims Act.
Our failure to comply with federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations relating to our healthcare business could have a material and adverse effect on our business. Although we do not provide healthcare services, submit claims for third-party reimbursement or receive payments directly from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payers for our products, we are subject to healthcare fraud and abuse regulation and enforcement by federal and state governments. Healthcare fraud and abuse and health information privacy and security laws potentially applicable to our operations are discussed in Part I, Item 1, “Business – Regulation of Medical Devices.” The risk of our being found in violation of these laws and regulations is increased because many of them have not been fully interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. Moreover, health care reform legislation has strengthened these laws. For example, the Affordable Care Act, among other things, amended the intent requirement of the federal Anti Kickback Statute and criminal health care fraud statutes; a person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of these statutes or specific intent to violate them to have committed a violation. In addition, the Affordable Care Act provided that the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.
Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the statutory exceptions and safe harbors available under such laws, it is possible that some of our business activities could be subject to challenge under one or more of such laws. Any action against us for violation of these laws could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of the laws described above or any other governmental regulations that apply to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from governmental health care programs, disgorgement, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could impair our ability to operate our business, financial condition and our financial results.
Evolving expectations around corporate responsibility practices, specifically related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters, may expose us to reputational and other risks. Stockholders, customers, suppliers and other third parties are increasingly focusing on ESG and corporate social responsibility endeavors and reporting. Certain institutional investors, investment funds, and other influential investors are also increasingly focused on ESG practices. Companies that do not adapt to or comply with evolving stakeholder expectations and standards, or which are perceived to have not responded appropriately, may suffer from reputational damage and may suffer a material adverse effect on its business or financial condition or stock price. Further, increased focus on ESG issues may result in new regulations or third-party requirements that could materially and adversely impact our business or result in certain stockholders reducing or eliminating their holdings of our common stock.
In addition, regulators, including the European Union and the State of California, have adopted, or are considering adopting, regulations regarding ESG matters, including, but not limited to, climate change-related matters. Such regulatory approaches are not uniform, which may increase the cost and complexity of compliance. Addressing stakeholder expectations, including regulations, entails costs and any failure to successfully navigate such expectations may result in reputational harm, loss of customers or contracts, potential regulatory or investor engagement, or other adverse impacts to our business.
General Risks
Significant inflation and increasing interest rates could materially and adversely affect our business and financial results. The current inflation rate could materially and adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs, including our materials, freight, and labor costs. In a highly inflationary environment, we may be unable to raise the sales prices of our products to match the rate of inflation or our increasing operating costs, which could reduce our profit margins and have a material and adverse effect on our financial performance. Further, pressures from inflation could negatively impact the willingness and ability of our customers to purchase our products in the same volumes as have been purchased in the past or are currently being purchased. As interest rates rise to address inflation or otherwise, such increases will impact the base rates applicable in our credit arrangements and will result in borrowed funds becoming more expensive to us over time. These financing pressures also can have a negative impact on customers’ willingness to purchase our products in the same volumes as previously purchased. We also use forward contracts which are intended to mitigate the impact of certain foreign currency exposures. These forward contracts may not completely offset foreign currency gains and losses.
Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures. We maintain insurance for certain risks, and we believe our insurance coverage is consistent with general practices within our industry. However, the amount of our insurance coverage may not cover all claims or liabilities and we may be forced to bear substantial costs. Consistent with market conditions in the insurance industry, premiums and deductibles for some of our insurance policies have been increasing and may continue to increase in the future. In some instances, some types of insurance may become available only for reduced amounts of coverage, if at all. In addition, there can be no assurance that our insurers would not challenge coverage for certain claims. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured or that our insurers disputed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are involved in various litigation matters, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results. Litigation can be lengthy, expensive and disruptive to our operations, and can divert our management’s attention away from the running of our business. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations of law could be asserted against us by individuals, either individually or through class actions, or by governmental entities in investigations and proceedings. If we are unsuccessful in our defense in litigation matters, or any other legal proceeding, we may be forced to pay damages or fines, some of which may be in excess of our insurance coverage, and/or change our business practices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information about our litigation matters, see “Legal Proceedings” and Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

Risk Management and Strategy
We maintain high standards with respect to cybersecurity and our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our enterprise risk management framework, overseen by our Information Security Officer (“ISO”), meaning that cyber-risks are identified, evaluated, and managed with the same rigor as other strategic, operational, and financial risks. We have adopted the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework principles as a guide for our security controls and processes, helping us structure our activities around identifying potential threats, protecting systems, detecting incidents, responding to events, and recovering operations. We engage independent third-party cybersecurity auditors and testers annually to review our Information Security Management (ISMS) and renew our ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Key elements of our program include:
- Preventive Controls and Monitoring: We employ multiple layers of technical controls (firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption, and multi-factor authentication) and proactively monitor these controls to ensure compliance with security policies, legal regulations, contractual obligations and industry best practices. Our Global Security Operations Center operates 24/7 with real-time monitoring capabilities to rapidly investigate alerts and trigger containment measures, which helps us minimize exposure or damage if a cybersecurity incident occurs.
- Vulnerability Management and Testing: We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and annual external penetration testing of our systems and applications to probe for weaknesses. We also perform periodic exercises simulating cybersecurity incidents to test our defenses and response procedures. Findings from these tests are used to strengthen our security posture on an ongoing basis.
- Incident Response Planning: We maintain a cybersecurity incident response plan that defines procedures for addressing security events. This plan is updated and tested regularly (including through tabletop drills and simulated breach exercises) so that our teams remain practiced in incident handling. In the event of an incident, our aim is to respond swiftly to contain the issue, notify appropriate stakeholders, investigate the root cause, and recover normal operations as soon as practicable.
- Third-Party Risk Management: We carefully manage cybersecurity risks arising from our use of third-party software, cloud services, and suppliers. We perform due diligence and security risk assessments on critical third-party service providers, both at onboarding and periodically during the relationship. Our procurement and legal teams work together to incorporate robust cybersecurity requirements into contracts with vendors (for example, data protection standards and incident notification obligations). Where appropriate, we require suppliers to adhere to our security policies or industry standards, and we conduct ongoing monitoring or audits of their security controls. These steps help reduce the risk that a weakness in a partner’s systems could compromise our data or operations.
- Employee Training and Awareness: A strong security culture among our employees is one of our best defenses in relation to cybersecurity events. Our employees are required to complete annual cybersecurity and data protection awareness training. This training educates personnel on topics like phishing prevention, safe computing practices, and how to report potential security issues. We supplement formal training with periodic phishing email simulations and security reminders.
Through a combination of these technical, procedural, and educational measures, our program is designed to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats effectively and thereby safeguard our business operations and sensitive information.
Cybersecurity threats are endemic to the modern business environment, and attempts to penetrate our network security are frequent and on-going. However, to date, no cybersecurity threats (including incidents) have resulted in a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Despite our efforts to identify and respond to cybersecurity threats, we cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or provide assurances that we have not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident, that we will not experience a cybersecurity incident in the future, or that a past cybersecurity incident will not result in a future material impact. For additional information on cybersecurity related risks, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Governance and Oversight
We have established strong governance practices to oversee cybersecurity and IT risks. The Board of Directors has delegated primary oversight responsibility for cybersecurity to the Risk Management Committee (RMC) of the Board, which is composed of several Board members. Our Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Information Security Officer (ISO) receive security reports and threat intelligence from the Security Operations Center, which apprises the CIO and ISO of any potential incidents and the status of ongoing preventive measures and they share this information at least quarterly with the RMC. They also brief the full Board as needed on cybersecurity matters.
We have a multi-disciplinary Cybersecurity Council that connects our Information Security, IT, Corporate Audit, Finance, Legal, Compliance, and Investor Relations teams. This Council facilitates coordination of cybersecurity risk management across our organization and a unified response to incidents. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the ISO will lead our incident response efforts and convene the Cybersecurity Council to evaluate the situation and determine appropriate next steps (for example, engaging law enforcement or cyber-experts, and considering disclosure obligations). This integrated governance structure – from the operational teams up through senior management and the Board – helps drive accountability and visibility for cybersecurity throughout our organization.
Our leadership team includes seasoned professionals with deep expertise in technology and security. Our CIO, Todd Weathersby, has more than 25 years of experience in global IT and cybersecurity management, and our ISO has more than 25 years of experience in cybersecurity, risk, and compliance (with certifications such as CISSP and CISM). The knowledge and experience of our CIO and ISO, along with the Board’s active engagement, provides a strong oversight of our cybersecurity strategy. The Board and management also receive regular briefings and training sessions regarding emerging cybersecurity threats and regulatory developments to be positioned to adapt to new challenges in the cybersecurity landscape.

(1) This is comprised of multiple leases at the same or nearby facilities.
We believe that our facilities are in adequate condition to support our current operations but expect to expand as necessary to support our anticipated future growth. We currently anticipate that we will be able to renew the leases that are scheduled to expire in the next few years on terms that are substantially the same as those currently in effect. However, even if we were not able to renew one or more of the leases, we believe that suitable substitute space is available to relocate any of the facilities. Accordingly, we do not believe that our failure to renew any of the leases that are scheduled to expire in the next few years will have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Overview
We are a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of specialized electronic systems and components for critical applications. We sell our products and provide related services in diversified markets, including homeland security, healthcare, defense and aerospace. We have three operating divisions, each of which is a reportable segment: (a) Security, providing security and inspection systems, high-power RF systems and turnkey security screening solutions; (b) Optoelectronics and Manufacturing, providing specialized electronic components and electronic manufacturing services for applications in the defense and aerospace markets, among others, and for our Security and Healthcare divisions; and (c) Healthcare, providing patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems and associated accessories.
Security Division. Through our Security division, we provide security screening products, multi-platform software solutions, and services globally, as well as turnkey security screening solutions. These products and services are used to inspect baggage, parcels, cargo, people, vehicles and other objects for weapons, explosives, drugs, radioactive and nuclear materials and other contraband. We also provide high-power RF systems for transmission, surveillance and other applications for defense, research and industrial use. Revenues from our Security division accounted for 70% of our total consolidated revenues for fiscal 2026.
Optoelectronics and Manufacturing Division. Through our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division, we design, manufacture and market optoelectronic devices and flex circuits and provide electronics manufacturing services globally for use in a broad range of applications, including aerospace and defense electronics, security and inspection systems, medical imaging and diagnostics, telecommunications, office automation, computer peripherals, industrial automation, and consumer products. We also provide our optoelectronic devices and electronics manufacturing services to OEM customers, and our own Security and Healthcare divisions. Revenues from external customers in our Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division accounted for 21% of our total consolidated revenues for fiscal 2026.
Healthcare Division. Through our Healthcare division, we design, manufacture, market and service patient monitoring, cardiology and remote monitoring, and connected care systems globally for sale primarily to hospitals and medical centers. Our products monitor patients in critical, emergency and perioperative care areas of the hospital and provide information, through wired and wireless networks, to physicians and nurses who may be at the patient’s bedside, in another area of the hospital or even outside the hospital. Revenues from our Healthcare division accounted for 9% of our total consolidated revenues for fiscal 2026.
Consolidated Results
Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2024 (compared with fiscal 2025) have been omitted from this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and is available in Item 7 of Part II, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025.
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2026 was highlighted by continued revenue and earnings growth, and strong operating cash flow generation. Revenues increased to approximately $1.8 billion, driven by our Security and Optoelectronics divisions, partially offset by lower Healthcare division revenues. Cash generated from operating activities increased significantly to approximately $275.9 million, driven largely by improved working capital, including collections on large Security projects, and higher net income.
Acquisitions. We acquired one business in fiscal 2026 and two businesses in fiscal 2025, as described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. None of these acquisitions were considered significant.
Trends and Uncertainties
The following is a discussion of certain trends and uncertainties that we believe have influenced, and may continue to influence, our results of operations.
Global Economic Considerations. Our products and services are sold in numerous countries worldwide, with a large percentage of our sales generated outside the United States. Therefore, we are exposed to and impacted by global macroeconomic factors, U.S. and foreign government policies and foreign exchange fluctuations. There is uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic factors in the U.S. and globally characterized by the supply chain environment, inflationary pressure, interest rate policies, and labor shortages. Increasing diplomatic and trade friction between the U.S. and China has also created significant uncertainty in the global economy. These global macroeconomic factors, coupled with political unrest internationally and the volatile U.S. political climate, have created uncertainty and impacted demand for certain of our products and services. Conflicts in Iran, Gaza and nearby regions have created political and economic uncertainty in the Middle East. Also, the continued conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to this conflict have increased global economic and political uncertainty. While the impact of these factors remains uncertain, we will continue to evaluate the extent to which these factors will impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. We do not know how long this uncertainty will continue. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Global Trade. The current domestic and international political environment, including in relation to recent and further potential changes by the U.S. and other countries in policies on global trade and tariffs, have resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy and global trade. This uncertainty is exacerbated by sanctions imposed by the U.S. government against certain businesses and individuals in select other countries. Tariffs, trade restrictions and retaliatory measures by such other countries could result in revenue reductions for the Company or cost increases on material used in our products, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Consistent with our strategy, we are taking measures to contain costs to reduce the impact of tariffs. To date, our strategies have helped minimize our exposure to these conditions. Continued or increased uncertainty regarding global trade due to these or other factors may require us to modify our current business practices and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Supply and Demand for Memory and Semiconductor Components. We have experienced tighter supply conditions and increased costs for certain memory associated and semiconductor components, reflecting a broader global imbalance between supply and demand for memory used in data center and AI related infrastructure. While we have taken actions to mitigate these impacts, continued constraints in component availability could adversely affect our business.
Geopolitical Environment. The global security environment remains subject to significant uncertainty due to ongoing geopolitical tensions, military conflicts, terrorist threats, and regional instability, including recent hostilities in the Middle East. Governments, transportation authorities, border protection agencies, and critical infrastructure operators continue to assess evolving security risks and may increase investments in security screening, inspection, and detection technologies. As a result, demand for certain of our security inspection products and related services could be affected by changes in government spending priorities and security requirements. At the same time, geopolitical events may influence the timing and execution of customer procurement decisions, funding approvals, contract awards, and project implementations. The extent to which current or future conflicts may affect our business will depend on the duration, geographic scope, and economic consequences of such events, as well as governmental responses that remain difficult to predict.
Conflicts in the Middle East. We generate a significant portion of our revenues from international markets and maintain a global supply chain supporting the design, manufacture, and servicing of our products. Escalation of geopolitical conflicts, including military activity in the Middle East, could disrupt transportation routes, logistics networks, supplier operations, and international trade flows. Such disruptions may result in shipment delays, longer lead times, project schedule delays, inventory management challenges, or higher operating costs. The conflicts in the Middle East had an impact on our operating results in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 through delays in timing of shipments, customer acceptance procedures, project schedules, and new orders. Material future developments could adversely affect our ability to procure components, fulfill customer orders, deploy personnel, or complete installations in a timely manner and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions imposed in response to this conflict have increased global economic and political uncertainty. This has the potential to indirectly disrupt our supply chain and access to certain resources. While we have not experienced significant adverse impacts to date resulting from this conflict, we have certain research and development activities within Ukraine for our Healthcare division which have been somewhat impacted. The conflicts also have increased the threat of malicious cyber-activity from other countries and other actors.
Currency Exchange Rates. On a year-over-year basis, currency exchange rates positively impacted reported sales by approximately 0.6% for the year ended June 30, 2026 compared to the year ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against other foreign currencies in fiscal 2026. Any strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would adversely impact our sales in future periods, and any weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would positively impact our sales in future periods.
Significant International Security Contracts. During fiscal years 2023 and 2024, our Security division was awarded three significant international contracts valued in aggregate greater than $800 million. During fiscal years 2024, 2025 and 2026, we recognized revenues generated from these contracts of approximately $404 million, $231 million and $79 million, respectively. Further revenues are expected to be recognized in fiscal year 2027 and beyond, albeit at relatively lower amounts as we have fulfilled the majority of equipment deliveries as of the end of fiscal year 2026.
Healthcare Considerations. Certain hospitals are facing significant financial pressure as supply chain constraints and inflation drive up operating costs and higher interest rates make access to credit more expensive. To the extent macroeconomic conditions remain challenging, it is likely that hospitals’ spend on capital equipment will be adversely impacted.
Government Policies. Our results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected by changes in U.S. or foreign government legislative, regulatory or enforcement policies, as well as potential or actual U.S. government shutdowns, including the impact on near-term bookings and revenues of the recent Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Our preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may differ from such estimates. Our senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and estimates and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The following summarizes our critical accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when performance obligations under the terms of the contracts with our customers are satisfied. Our performance obligations are broadly categorized as product sales, service revenue, and project-specific contract revenue. Revenue from sales of products is recognized upon shipment or delivery when control of the product transfers to the customer, depending on the terms of each sale, and when collection is probable. Revenue from services includes installation and implementation of products and turnkey security screening services and after-market services. Generally, revenue from services is recognized over time as the services are performed. Sales agreements with customers can be project specific, cover a period of time, and can be renewable periodically. The contracts may contain terms and conditions with respect to payment, delivery, installation, services, warranty and other rights. Contracts with customers may include the sale of products and services.
In certain instances, contracts with customers can contain multiple performance obligations such as civil works to prepare a site for equipment installation, training of customer personnel to operate equipment, and after-market service of equipment. We assign multiple elements in a contract into separate performance obligations if those elements are distinct, both individually and in the context of the contract. If multiple promises comprise a series of distinct services which are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer, they are combined and accounted for as a single performance obligation.
Inventory. The majority of our inventories are valued using the average costing method with select subsidiaries using the standard costing method. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. We write down inventory for slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on historical usage, orders on hand, assessments of future demands, and market conditions, among other items. If these factors become less favorable than those projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Income Taxes. Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions including uncertainties. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available. We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions that reflect our best estimate of the amount ultimately expected to be paid, including, where appropriate, related interest and penalties.
Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise because of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely on estimates. To provide insight, we use our historical experience and our short and long-range business forecasts. We believe it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred income tax assets may expire unused and therefore have established a valuation allowance against them. Although realization is not assured for the remaining deferred income tax assets, we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully recoverable within the applicable statutory expiration periods. However, deferred tax assets could be reduced in the near term if our estimates of taxable income are significantly reduced or available tax planning strategies are no longer viable.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was signed into law. Key income-tax related provisions of the OBBBA relevant to our Company include the removal of mandatory capitalization of domestic research and development expenditures, permanent extension of bonus depreciation and revisions to international tax regimes. The Company evaluated the provisions of the legislation and based on the Company’s analysis, the OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor any future administrative guidance related to the legislation.
Business Combinations. In connection with the acquisition of a business, we record the fair value of purchase consideration for the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired customers, acquired technology, trade names, useful lives and discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. During the measurement period, which is until we have all the necessary information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the provisional amounts initially recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings.
Legal and Other Contingencies. We are subject to various claims and legal proceedings. We review the status of each significant legal dispute to which we are a party and assess our potential financial exposure, if any. If the potential financial exposure from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability and an expense for the estimated loss. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation and revise our estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
Net Revenues
The table below and the discussion that follows are based upon the way we analyze our business. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about business segments.
(Dollars in millions)
| | | Fiscal 2024 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2025 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2026 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2024-2025 % Change | Fiscal 2025-2026 % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security | | $1,043.1 | | 67.8% | $1,196.2 | | 69.8% | $1,248.0 | | 69.9% | 14.7% | 4.3% |
| Optoelectronics / Manufacturing | 324.3 | | 21.1% | 348.6 | | 20.3% | 375.3 | | 21.0% | 7.5% | 7.7% | |
| Healthcare | 171.4 | | 11.1% | 168.4 | | 9.9% | 162.7 | | 9.1% | (1.8)% | (3.4)% | |
| Total Net Revenues | | $1,538.8 | | | $1,713.2 | | | $1,786.0 | | | 11.3% | 4.2% |
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. Revenues for the Security division during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 increased by $51.8 million on a year-over-year basis primarily due to an increase in service revenues. The increase in service revenues was due primarily to the increase in the installed base of products of cargo and vehicle inspection systems and aviation and checkpoint inspection systems. Product revenues for fiscal 2026 were comparable to fiscal 2025 as an increase in revenue from RF systems and other security products were offset by a decrease in product revenues from customers in Mexico.
Revenues for the Optoelectronics and Manufacturing division during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 increased year-over-year by $26.7 million due to increases in our optoelectronics business and our contract manufacturing business of $8.2 million and $18.5 million, respectively.
Revenues for the Healthcare division during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $5.6 million year-over-year due primarily to a reduction in patient monitoring sales of $9.6 million, in service revenue of $1.9 million and in supplies and accessories revenue of $1.8 million, partially offset by increases in cardiology sales of $7.7 million.
Gross Profit
(Dollars in millions)
| | | Fiscal 2024 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2025 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2026 | | % of Net Revenues |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross profit | | $530.5 | | 34.5% | $587.2 | | 34.3% | $593.1 | | 33.2% |
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. Gross profit is impacted by sales volume and changes in overall manufacturing-related costs, such as raw materials and component costs, warranty expense, provision for inventory, freight, tariffs, and logistics. Gross profit increased approximately $5.9 million in fiscal 2026 as compared to the prior year on a 4.3% increase in net revenue. The gross margin in fiscal year 2026 was lower than the prior year due to the sales mix in the Security division arising from an unfavorable shift in revenue mix. Revenue from Security division customers in Mexico, which generated margins above the division average, declined by $148.8 million year-over-year, while revenue increased in businesses that generally carried lower margins. Gross margin was also adversely affected by lower margins in aviation and checkpoint inspection systems. These impacts were partially offset by higher revenue and improved profitability from RF systems.
Operating Expenses
(Dollars in millions)
| | | Fiscal 2024 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2025 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2026 | | % of Net Revenues | Fiscal 2024-2025 % Change | Fiscal 2025-2026 % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selling, general and administrative | | $269.7 | | 17.5% | $290.9 | | 17.0% | $278.4 | | 15.6% | 7.9% | (4.3)% |
| Research and development | | 65.3 | | 4.3% | 73.4 | | 4.3% | 79.1 | | 4.4% | 12.4% | 7.8% |
| Impairment, restructuring and other charges | | 6.4 | | 0.4% | 5.3 | | 0.3% | 16.6 | | 0.9% | (17.2)% | 213.2% |
| Total operating expenses | | $341.4 | | 22.2% | $369.6 | | 21.6% | $374.1 | | 20.9% | 8.3% | 1.2% |
Selling, General and Administrative
Our significant selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include employee compensation, sales commissions, travel, professional services, marketing expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense.
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. SG&A expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 decreased $12.5 million compared to the same prior-year period, primarily due to a favorable impact from foreign currency exchange rates and decreased employee compensation, including reduced stock-based compensation expense related to the retirement of our former CEO in fiscal year 2025, partially offset by higher bad debt expense compared to the same prior-year period.
Research and Development
Our Security and Healthcare divisions have historically invested substantial amounts in research and development (“R&D”). We intend to continue this trend in future years, although specific programs may or may not continue to be funded and funding levels may fluctuate. R&D expenses included research related to new product development and product enhancement expenditures.
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. R&D expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 was $5.7 million higher than in the same prior-year period, driven primarily by increased compensation costs to support new product development initiatives primarily in our Security division and Healthcare division.
Impairment, restructuring and other charges
Impairment, restructuring and other charges generally consist of charges relating to reductions in our workforce, facilities consolidation, impairment of assets, costs related to acquisition activity, legal charges and other non-recurring charges. We have undertaken certain restructuring activities in an effort to align our global capacity and infrastructure with demand by our customers and fully integrate acquisitions, thereby improving our operational efficiency. Our efforts have helped enhance our ability to improve operating margins, retain and expand existing relationships with customers and attract new business. We may utilize similar measures in the future to realign our operations to further increase our operating efficiencies. The effect of these efforts may materially affect our future operating results.
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, impairment, restructuring and other charges were $16.6 million and consisted of $5.1 million for employee terminations, $2.1 million in acquisition related costs, $1.2 million for impairment of assets, $0.2 million for facility closure costs for operational efficiency activities, $1.6 million in legal charges, $2.2 million for non-recurring charges in our Security division, and $4.2 million for non-recurring charges in our Healthcare division. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, impairment, restructuring and other charges were $5.3 million and consisted of $0.7 million for facility closure costs for operational efficiency activities, $2.7 million for employee terminations, $0.6 million in acquisition related costs, and $1.3 million in legal charges.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
(Dollars in millions)
| | | Fiscal 2024 | | Fiscal 2025 | | Fiscal 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Interest and other expense, net | | $27.8 | | $31.4 | | $26.2 |
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, interest and other expense, net was $26.2 million as compared to $31.4 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in interest and other expense, net was a result of a decrease in interest expense from lower average interest rates on our borrowings due to issuance of convertible notes and concurrent paydown of our revolving credit facility, and higher interest income on increased levels of cash in fiscal 2026 compared to the same prior year period. These favorable impacts were partially offset by an increase in other expense in fiscal 2026 of $4.4 million for prior service cost amortization due to a pension plan amendment in December 2025 for our former CEO and a $1.3 million reduction in benefit from the interest rate swap in fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year.
Provision for Income Taxes
(Dollars in millions)
| | | Fiscal 2024 | | Fiscal 2025 | | Fiscal 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Provision for income taxes | | $33.1 | | $36.5 | | $38.0 |
The effective tax rate for a particular period varies depending on a number of factors including (i) the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions, each of which applies a unique range of income tax rates and income tax credits, (ii) changes in previously established valuation allowances for deferred tax assets (changes are based upon our current analysis of the likelihood that these deferred tax assets will be realized), (iii) the level of non-deductible expenses, (iv) certain tax elections, (v) tax holidays granted to certain of our international subsidiaries, (vi) return to provision adjustments and (vii) changes in tax legislation.
Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $38.0 million and $36.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 19.7% and 19.6%, respectively. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized a net discrete tax benefit of $5.8 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The net discrete benefit recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 is primarily related to equity-based compensation under ASU 2016-09, changes to prior year estimates, and changes in uncertain tax positions. The net discrete benefit recorded in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 is primarily related to equity-based compensation under ASU 2016-09, favorable resolution to a foreign tax dispute, and changes in uncertain tax positions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, existing cash borrowing arrangements and access to capital markets. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $359.8 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $106.4 million at June 30, 2025. During fiscal 2026, we generated positive cash flow from operating activities and issued senior convertible notes which were primarily used to repay borrowings on our credit facility, repurchase shares of common stock, fund investing activities and pay taxes related to net share settlements of equity awards as discussed further below. If we continue to net settle equity awards, we will continue to use additional cash to pay our tax withholding obligations in connection with such settlements. We currently anticipate that our available funds, credit facilities and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our operational cash needs for the next 12 months and foreseeable future. In addition, we anticipate that cash generated from operations, without repatriating earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and our credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our obligations in the U.S.
In July 2025 we amended and extended our credit facility to mature in July 2030, to increase the revolving limit from $600 million to $725 million and replaced the $128.1 million term loan with a new $100.0 million term loan. The sub-limit for letters of credit was increased from $300 million to $350 million, which includes up to $300 million for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2026, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility, $95.8 million outstanding under the letters of credit sub-facility, and $92.5 million outstanding under the term loan. As of June 30, 2026, the amount available to borrow under the credit facility was $629.2 million. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in net income, adjusted for non-cash items, and working capital. During fiscal 2026, cash provided by operations was $275.9 million compared to cash provided by operations of $97.6 million in the prior fiscal year. The net increase in cash flows from operating activities was due primarily to favorable changes in net working capital, largely from lower accounts receivable, an increase in deferred revenue and other liabilities, as well as higher net income compared to the same prior-year period. These favorable changes were partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in accounts payable, advances from customers, inventory and prepaid expenses and other assets.
Cash Used in Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $68.3 million during fiscal 2026 as compared to $117.9 million used during the prior year. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower cash paid for the acquisition of businesses, which was $26.3 million during fiscal 2026 compared to $76.7 million in the prior fiscal year. This favorable impact was partially offset by increased capital expenditures of $30.6 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $23.8 million in the prior fiscal year. In addition, we received proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $6.5 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $0.3 million in the same prior-year period.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $46.7 million during fiscal 2026, compared to $30.8 million during the prior fiscal year. The increase in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to net proceeds of $562.9 million from issuance of the 2031 Notes, partially offset by (1) net repayment of $178.0 million on our revolving credit facility and (2) the repurchase of common shares of $271.9 million. This is compared to net proceeds in fiscal 2025 of $340.6 million from issuance of the 2029 Notes, partially offset by (1) net repayment of $228.0 million on our revolving credit facility and (2) repurchases of common shares for an aggregate of $80.4 million in the same prior-year period. In connection with the July 2025 amendment and extension of our revolving credit facility, we replaced the $128.1 million term loan with a new $100.0 million term loan. Taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards were $36.3 million during fiscal 2026 compared to $22.6 million in the same prior-year period.
Material Cash Requirements
Our material cash requirements include the following contractual and other obligations.
Borrowings. Outstanding debt totaled $1,001.0 million at June 30, 2026, an increase of $351.4 million from $649.6 million at June 30, 2025. This increase was due primarily to proceeds from the 2031 Notes, partially offset by repayment of outstanding revolver borrowings and net reduction in the term loan associated with our credit facility. Contractual debt maturities of $2.5 million will be payable within the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our various borrowing agreements. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion, including future contractual maturities and potential cash settlement upon conversion or redemption of the 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes. We anticipate that cash generated from our operations, existing cash borrowing arrangements and future access to capital markets should be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including future business acquisitions, capital expenditures, litigation, stock repurchases and levels of research and development spending, among other factors. The adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including the success of our businesses in generating cash, continued compliance with financial covenants contained in our credit facility and the health of capital markets in general, among other factors.
Leases. We have lease arrangements for certain facilities and equipment under various operating lease agreements. As of June 30, 2026, we had lease payment obligations of $48.8 million, with $13.1 million payable within the next 12 months.
Cash Held by Foreign Subsidiaries
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $359.8 million at June 30, 2026. Of this amount, approximately 23% was held by our foreign subsidiaries and subject to repatriation tax considerations. These foreign funds were held primarily by our subsidiaries in India, United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, and Malaysia. We intend to permanently reinvest certain earnings from foreign operations, and we currently do not anticipate that we will need this cash in foreign countries to fund our U.S. operations. In the event we repatriate cash from certain foreign operations and if taxes have not previously been withheld on the related earnings, we would provide for withholding taxes at the time we change our intention with regard to the reinvestment of those earnings.
Stock Repurchase Program
In September 2022, our Board of Directors increased to a total of 2,000,000 shares the maximum number of shares authorized under the stock repurchase program. This program does not expire unless our Board of Directors acts to terminate the program. During fiscal 2026, we repurchased 1,111,825 shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2026, 78,731 shares remained available for repurchase.
On August 20, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors has approved an additional 1,000,000 shares for repurchase under our stock repurchase program, increasing the total remaining authorization to 1,078,731 shares.
The timing and actual numbers of shares purchased depends on a variety of factors, including stock price, general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities. Repurchases may be made from time to time under the program through open-market purchases or privately-negotiated transactions at our discretion. Upon repurchase, the shares are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares, and we record them as a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding in our consolidated financial statements.
Market risk

Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks, which are inherent in our financial instruments and arise from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions in order to manage or reduce market risk in connection with specific foreign currency denominated transactions. We do not enter into derivative financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes.
We are subject to interest rate risk on our borrowings under our bank lines of credit. Consequently, our interest expense fluctuates with changes in the general level of these interest rates as we borrow under the credit facility. We utilize an interest rate swap agreement to improve the predictability of cash flows from interest payments related to our variable, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based debt. The interest rate swap matures in December 2026. As of June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2026, the notional amount of the interest rate swap hedge derivative instrument was $175 million.
Importance of International Markets
International markets provide us with significant growth opportunities. Our financial results in future periods could, however, be adversely affected by periodic economic downturns in different regions of the world, changes in trade policies or tariffs, civil or military conflict and other political instability. We monitor economic and currency conditions around the world to evaluate whether there may be any significant effect on our international sales in the future.
Foreign Currency
Our international operations are subject to certain opportunities and risks, including from foreign currency fluctuations and governmental actions. We conduct business in more than 36 countries. We closely monitor our operations in each country in which we do business and seek to adopt appropriate strategies that are responsive to changing economic and political environments, and to fluctuations in foreign currencies. Weaknesses in the currencies of some of the countries in which we do business are often offset by strengths in other currencies. Foreign currency financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, except that revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average rates during the reporting period. We include gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions in income, while we exclude those resulting from translation of financial statements from income and include them as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses, which were included in our consolidated statement of operations, amounted to a net loss of approximately $5.1 million, $12.7 million, and $1.6 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would have resulted in a net increase in our operating income of approximately $19.9 million in fiscal 2026. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates would have resulted in a net decrease in our operating income of approximately $19.9 million in fiscal 2026.
Inflation
Heightened levels of inflation continue to present risk for us. We have experienced impacts to our materials and manufacturing costs and labor rates, and suppliers have signaled inflation-related cost pressures, which could flow through to our costs and pricing. If inflation remains at current levels for an extended period, or increases, and we are unable to successfully mitigate the impact, our costs could increase, resulting in pressure on our profits and margins. In addition, inflation and the increases in the cost of borrowing from rising interest rates could constrain the overall purchasing power of our customers for our products and services. Rising interest rates also will increase our borrowing costs. We remain committed to our ongoing efforts to increase the efficiency of our operations and improve the cost competitiveness of our products and services, which may, in part, offset cost increases from inflation.
Interest Rate Risk
The scheduled principal maturity and estimated value of our long-term debt exposure for each of the fiscal years set forth below as of June 30, 2026 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | Maturity 2027 | | 2028 | | 2029 | | 2030 | | 2031 | | 2032 and Thereafter | | Total | | Fair Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Term loan at 4.86% annual interest (1) | | $2,500 | | $5,000 | | $5,000 | | $5,000 | | $75,000 | | $— | | $92,500 | | $92,500 |
| 2029 Notes at 2.25% annual interest | | $— | | $— | | $— | | $350,000 | | $— | | $— | | $350,000 | | $467,505 |
| 2031 Notes at 0.50% annual interest | | — | | $— | | $— | | $— | | $575,000 | | $— | | $575,000 | | $537,913 |
| Finance lease obligations 4.6% annual interest | | $31 | | $41 | | $41 | | $12 | | $— | | $— | | $125 | | $125 |
(1) The term loan bears interest at SOFR plus a margin which can range from 1.0% to 1.75% based on our consolidated net leverage ratio as defined in the credit facility.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 3,510 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2026, the end of the period covered by this report, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a15(e) or 15d15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon management’s review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for the Company. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Our assessment of, and conclusion on, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of a wholly-owned subsidiary acquired in June 2026, which is included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition, whose financial statements reflect total assets and net revenues constituting 1.5% and less than 0.1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended June 30, 2026. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2026.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud within the Company have been detected.
