Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Coherent Corp. (“Coherent”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated August 16, 2024. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of June 30, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

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

Note 2. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275 and 34-99678, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors,” requiring public companies to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The final rules will require information about a company’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, and the actual and potential material impacts of any identified climate-related risks on the company’s strategy, business model and outlook, as well as relating to assessment, management, oversight and mitigation of such material risks, material climate-related targets and goals, and material greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in the audited financial statements. The first phase of the final rule is effective for fiscal years beginning in 2025. Disclosure for prior periods is only required if it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rule to facilitate the orderly judicial resolution of pending legal challenges to the rule. We are currently evaluating the impact on our disclosures of adopting this new pronouncement.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires disclosure about specific types of expenses included in expense captions including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. This ASU is effective for our annual disclosures starting in fiscal year 2028 and interim periods starting in fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We believe that disaggregating revenue by end market provides the most relevant information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows.

Contract Liabilities

Payments received from customers are based on invoices or billing schedules as established in contracts with customers. Contract liabilities generally relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, we recognized revenue of $41 million related to customer payments that were included as contract liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024. We had $65 million of contract liabilities recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024.

Senior Credit Facilities

On July 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Coherent entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), the lenders, and other parties thereto, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for senior secured financing of $4.0 billion, consisting of a term loan A credit facility (the “Term A Facility”) maturing July 1, 2027, with an aggregate principal amount of $850 million, a term loan B credit facility (the “Term B Facility” maturing July 1, 2029 and, together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Facilities”), with an aggregate principal amount of $2,800 million, and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing July 1, 2027, in an aggregate available amount of $350 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $50 million. On March 31, 2023, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which replaced the adjusted LIBOR-based rate of interest therein with an adjusted SOFR-based rate of interest. As amended, the Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate subject to a 0.10% floor plus a range of 1.75% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings bear interest at adjusted SOFR plus 1.85% as of December 31, 2024. On April 2, 2024, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, under

Table of Contents

which the principal amount of term B loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term B Loans”) were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the Existing Term B Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B Loans and certain other provisions. As further amended, the New Term B Loans bear interest at a SOFR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.50% as of December 31, 2024. The maturity of the New Term Loans and revolving credit facility remains unchanged. Debt extinguishment costs related to the replacement of the Existing Term B Loans of $2 million were expensed in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss) during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. On January 2, 2025, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, under which the principal amount of term B loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “New Term B Loans”) were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B-2 Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the New Term B Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B-2 Loans and certain other provisions. As further amended, the New Term B-2 Loans will bear interest at a SOFR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.00% as of January 2, 2025. The maturity of the New Term B-2 Loans and revolving credit facility remains unchanged.

In relation to the Term Facilities, the Company incurred interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs and the benefit of the interest rate cap and swap, of $52 million and $106 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and $62 million and $122 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). On July 1, 2023, our interest rate cap became effective, which together with our interest rate swap (through September 30, 2024), reduced interest expense by $7 million and $21 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and $12 million and $23 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The amortization of debt issuance costs included in interest expense was $4 million and $9 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and $5 million and $8 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Debt issuance costs are presented as a reduction to debt within the Long-term debt caption in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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

As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Term Facilities.

Debt Assumed through Acquisition

We assumed the remaining balances of three term loans with the closing of the acquisition of Coherent, Inc. The aggregate principal amount outstanding is $17 million as of December 31, 2024. The term loans assumed consisted of the following: (i) 1.3% Term Loan (repaid prior to December 31, 2024), (ii) 1.0% State of Connecticut Term Loan due 2023 (repaid in fiscal 2023), and (iii) Facility construction loan in Germany. For the Facility construction loan, on December 21, 2020, Coherent LaserSystems GmbH & Co. KG entered into a loan agreement with Commerzbank for borrowings of up to 24 million Euros, which were drawn down by October 29, 2021, to finance a portion of the construction of a new facility in Germany. The term of the loan is 10 years, and borrowings bear interest at 1.55% per annum. Payments are made quarterly.

5.000% Senior Notes due 2029

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

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

Table of Contents

In relation to the Senior Notes, the Company incurred interest expense of $13 million and $25 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and $13 million and $25 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

The Indenture contains customary covenants and events of default, including default relating to, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Senior Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

Aggregate Availability

The Company had aggregate availability of $319 million under its Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate was 14% at December 31, 2024 compared to 24% for the period ending December 31, 2023. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to a discrete benefit relating to share-based compensation and tax rate differentials between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

U.S. GAAP prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements which includes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit, excluding interest and penalties, was $115 million and $117 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. Due to the U.S. valuation allowance, a large portion of the gross unrecognized tax benefit will not impact the tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2024, $19 million of the gross unrecognized tax benefit would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $9 million and $7 million at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Fiscal years 2018 and 2020 to 2023 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2019 to 2023 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2012 to 2023 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination for certain subsidiary companies in Vietnam for the years ended June 30, 2017 through September 30, 2021; Singapore for the year ended September 30, 2020; Spain for the years ended September 30, 2020 through September 30, 2022; Malaysia for the years ended June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2023; and Germany for the years ended June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2021. The Company believes its income tax reserves for these tax matters are adequate.

Note 9. Leases

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

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

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

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

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

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

Note 10. Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors, without the approval of our shareholders, to issue 5 million shares of our preferred stock. As of December 31, 2024, 2.3 million shares of mandatory preferred convertible shares have been authorized, none are outstanding; 75,000 shares of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock, no par value, have been issued and are outstanding; and 140,000 shares of Series B-2 convertible preferred stock, no par value, have been issued and are outstanding.

Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock

In July 2020, the Company issued 2.3 million shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.

All outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to 10,240,290 shares of Company Common Stock on July 3, 2023, at a conversion ratio of 4.4523, and no shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are currently issued and outstanding.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

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

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

•at the election of the holder, at an initial conversion price of $85 per share (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the “Conversion Price”) upon the delivery by Coherent to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock of an offer to repurchase the Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock as defined below); and

•at the election of the Company, any time following March 31, 2024 and July 1, 2025 for the Series B-1 and B-2 Preferred Stock, respectively, at the then-applicable Conversion Price if the volume-weighted average price of Coherent Common Stock exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for 20 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The following table presents dividends per share and dividends recognized:


	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

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

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

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

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

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

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

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the diluted earnings (loss) available to the common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of equity awards is calculated based on the average stock price for each fiscal period, using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of the potential shares of Coherent Common Stock issuable from performance and restricted shares. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, as the Company was in a net loss position, there were no dilutive shares.

Potentially dilutive shares whose effect would have been anti-dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, diluted earnings per share excluded the potentially dilutive effect of the shares of Coherent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (under the If-Converted method), as their effects were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, diluted earnings (loss) per share excluded the potentially dilutive effect of the performance and restricted shares, calculated based on the average stock price for each fiscal period, using the treasury stock method, as well as the shares of Coherent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (under the If-Converted method), as their effects were anti-dilutive.

Note 13. Segment Reporting

The Company reports its business segments using the “management approach” model for segment reporting. This means that we determine our reportable business segments based on the way the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) analyzes business segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

We report our financial results in the following three segments: (i) Networking, (ii) Materials, and (iii) Lasers. Our CODM receives and reviews financial information based on these three segments. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of a new CEO joining the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, our CODM implemented changes in the measure he uses to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM now evaluates each segment’s performance and allocates resources based on segment revenue and segment profit, instead of operating income, as our CODM believes segment profit is a more comprehensive profitability measure for each operating segment. Segment profit includes operating expenses directly managed by operating segments, including research and development, direct sales, marketing and administrative expenses. Segment profit does not include share-based compensation, acquisition or integration related costs, amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring charges, and certain other charges. Additionally, effective the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we no longer allocate Corporate strategic research and development, strategic marketing and sales expenses and shared general and administrative expenses, as these expenses are not directly attributable to our operating segments. The segments are managed separately due to the market, production requirements and facilities unique to each segment. The accounting policies are consistent across each segment. Effective the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we no longer allocate corporate assets to the segments.

Table of Contents

Comparative prior period segment information has been recast to conform to the new segment profitability measure. The change in our operating segment measure had no impact on our previously reported consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

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

Note 14. Share-Based Compensation

Stock Award Plans

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

On June 3, 2024, the Board of Directors granted 147,214 restricted stock units vesting over three years from date of grant and 694,007 performance stock units vesting over the approximate three-year period ending June 30, 2027, to the new CEO. The grants were non-Plan “employment inducement awards” as contemplated by the New York Stock Exchange Listing Rule 303A.08 and therefore were not made pursuant to the Plan.

On October 11, 2024, the Board of Directors granted 15,902 and 63,154 restricted stock units vesting over three years and two years, respectively, from date of grant and 118,853 performance stock units vesting over the approximate three-year period ending June 30, 2027, to the new CFO. The grants were non-Plan “employment inducement awards” as contemplated by the New York Stock Exchange Listing Rule 303A.08 and therefore were not made pursuant to the Plan.

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

Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

We had entered into an interest rate swap agreement, effective November 24, 2019, with a notional amount of $1,075 million to limit the exposure to our variable interest rate debt by effectively converting it to a fixed interest rate. Through February 28, 2023, we received payments based on the one-month LIBOR and made payments based on a fixed rate of 1.52%. We received payments with a floor of 0.00%. The initial notional amount of the interest rate swap decreased to $825 million in June 2022, and remained at that amount through its expiration on September 24, 2024. On March 20, 2023, we amended our $825 million interest rate swap (“Amended Swap”), effective as of February 28, 2023, to replace the current reference rate (LIBOR) with SOFR, to be consistent with Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement. See Note 7. Debt for further information. Under the Amended Swap, we received payments based on the one-month SOFR and made payments based on a fixed rate of 1.42%. Through its expiration on September 24, 2024, we received payments with a floor of 0.10%. We designated this instrument as a cash flow hedge, and deemed the hedge relationship effective at inception of the contract and the amended contract.

The interest rate swap expired on September 30, 2024. The fair value of the interest rate swap of $8 million is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within Prepaid and other current assets as of June 30, 2024. Changes in fair value were recorded within AOCI on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) as interest expense in the period in which the underlying transaction affected earnings. Cash flows from hedging activities were reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same classification as the hedged item, as a component of cash flows from operations. The fair value of the interest rate swap was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflected the contractual terms of the interest rate swap including the period to maturity, and while there were no quoted prices in active markets, it used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value analysis also considered a credit valuation adjustment to reflect nonperformance risk of both the Company and the single counterparty. The interest rate swap was classified as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy.

On February 23, 2022, we entered into an interest rate cap (the “Cap”) with an effective date of July 1, 2023. On March 20, 2023, we amended the Cap to replace the current reference rate (LIBOR) with SOFR, to be consistent with Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement. See Note 7. Debt for further information. The Cap manages our exposure to interest rate movements on a portion of our floating rate debt. The Cap provides us with the right to receive payment if one-month SOFR exceeds 1.92%. Beginning in July 2023, we began to pay a fixed monthly premium based on an annual rate of 0.853% for the Cap. The Cap will carry a notional amount ranging from $500 million to $1,500 million. On September 1, 2024, we increased the notional amount from $500 million to $1,500 million. The fair value of the interest rate cap of $32 million and $50 million is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within Prepaid and other current assets and Other assets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

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

Table of Contents

We estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes, Term A Facility and Term B Facility (“Debt Facilities”) based on quoted market prices as of the last trading day prior to December 31, 2024; however, the Debt Facilities have only a limited trading volume and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily the value at which the Debt Facilities could be retired or transferred. We concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2. The carrying values of the Debt Facilities are net of unamortized discount and issuance costs. See Note 7. Debt for details on the Company’s debt facilities.

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


	December 31, 2024				June 30, 2024
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Senior Notes	$	947,093	$	984,541	$	938,193	$	984,061
Term A Facility	682,772		672,923		777,564		762,039
Term B Facility	2,249,101		2,189,476		2,390,497		2,334,701

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

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

At December 31, 2024, total restricted cash of $751 million includes $748 million of cash in Silicon Carbide LLC that is restricted for use only by that subsidiary and $3 million of cash restricted for other purposes in other entities. At June 30, 2024, total restricted cash of $864 million includes $858 million of cash in Silicon Carbide LLC that is restricted for use only by that subsidiary and $5 million of cash restricted for other purposes in other entities. The restricted cash is invested in money market accounts and time deposits, with maturities of one year or less, that are held-to-maturity, are considered Level 1 among the fair value hierarchy and approximate fair value. Restricted cash that is expected to be spent and released from restriction after 12 months is classified as non-current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We, from time to time, purchase foreign currency forward exchange contracts that permit us to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates that represent assets or liabilities on the balance sheets of certain subsidiaries. These contracts are entered into for the purpose of limiting translational exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and which otherwise would expose our earnings, on the revaluation of our aggregate net assets or liabilities in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk. At December 31, 2024, we had no foreign currency forward contracts. The fair values of these instruments, when outstanding, are measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. Realized gains related to these contracts for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 were zero and $16 million, respectively, and realized gains related to these contracts for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 were $14 million and $3 million, respectively, were included in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

Note 17. Restructuring Plan

Restructuring Plan

Table of Contents

These restructuring actions are expected to be accompanied by other cost reductions, and are intended to realign our cost structure as part of a transformation to a simpler, more streamlined, resilient and sustainable business model. We evaluate restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420), and ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Post-Employment Benefits (ASC 712).

In the three months ended December 31, 2024, these activities resulted in $8 million of charges primarily for site move costs, employee termination costs and accelerated depreciation. In the six months ended December 31, 2024, these activities resulted in $32 million of charges primarily for impairment losses associated with the sale of our Newton Aycliffe business, accelerated depreciation, employee termination and site move costs. In the three months ended December 31, 2023, these activities resulted in $2 million of net recoveries primarily for adjustments to employee termination costs partially offset by acceleration of depreciation and site move costs. In the six months ended December 31, 2023, these activities resulted in $1 million of charges primarily for employee termination costs as well as site move costs, write-off of property and equipment and acceleration of depreciation. We expect the restructuring actions to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2025. However, the actual timing and costs associated with these restructuring actions may differ from our current expectations and estimates and such differences may be material.

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

At December 31, 2024, $12 million and $32 million of accrued severance related costs were included in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, and are expected to result in cash expenditures through fiscal 2028. The current and prior year severance related net charges are primarily comprised of accruals for severance and pay for employees being terminated due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing sites, with severance recorded in accordance with ASC 712. The prior year severance related net recoveries are primarily comprised of adjustments to accruals for severance pay for employees being terminated due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing sites, with severance recorded in accordance with ASC 712.

By segment, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, $3 million and $26 million, respectively, of restructuring costs were incurred in the Materials segment, $3 million and $4 million, respectively, of restructuring costs were incurred in the Networking segment, and $2 million of restructuring costs were incurred in both periods in the Lasers segment. By segment, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, $2 million and $7 million, respectively, of restructuring costs were incurred in the Materials segment, partially offset by $3 million and $5 million, respectively, of restructuring recoveries in the

Restructuring and Site Consolidation

Restructuring Plan

On May 23, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s May 2023 Restructuring Plan which includes site consolidations, facilities moves and closures, as well as the relocation and requalification of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions are expected to be accompanied by other cost reductions and are intended to realign our cost structure as part of a transformation to a simpler, more streamlined, resilient and sustainable business model.

In the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, these activities resulted in charges of $8 million and $32 million, respectively. The current quarter costs are primarily for site move costs, employee termination costs and accelerated depreciation and the current year-to-date costs are primarily for impairment losses associated with the sale of our Newton Aycliffe business, accelerated depreciation, employee termination costs and site move costs. In fiscal 2024, these activities resulted in charges of $27 million, primarily for accelerated depreciation, the write-off of property and equipment, and site move costs. In fiscal 2023, these activities resulted in $119 million of charges primarily for employee termination costs, and the write-off of property and equipment, net of $65 million from reimbursement arrangements. We expect the restructuring actions to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2025. However, the actual timing and costs associated with these restructuring actions may differ from our current expectations and estimates and such differences may be material. See Note 17. Restructuring Plan to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Synergy and Site Consolidation Plan

On May 20, 2023, the Company announced that it had accelerated some of the actions planned as part of its multi-year synergy and site consolidation efforts following the acquisition of Coherent, Inc., including site consolidations and relocations to lower cost sites. These relocations and other actions resulted in the Company achieving its previously announced $250 million synergy plan, which includes savings from supply chain management, internal supply of enabling materials and components, operational efficiencies in all functions due to scale, global functional model efficiencies and consolidation of corporate costs. In the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, the acceleration of these activities resulted in $7 million and $11 million, respectively, of charges primarily for employee termination costs, overlapping labor related to transition of manufacturing operations to other sites and shut down costs. In fiscal 2024, the acceleration of these activities resulted in $40 million of charges primarily for overlapping labor related to transition of manufacturing operations to other sites, shut down costs for sites being exited, accelerated depreciation and employee termination costs, with $9 million and $16 million, respectively, of those charges in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023. In fiscal 2023, the acceleration of these activities resulted in $20 million in charges primarily for employee termination costs, the write-off of inventory for products that are being exited and shut down costs.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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

Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated August 16, 2024 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

Consolidated

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2024 increased 27% to $1,435 million, compared to $1,131 million for the same period last fiscal year. Revenues increased $303 million (58%) in the communications market, with increases in datacom driven primarily by ongoing strong AI datacenter demand and the continued recovery in telecom. In our remaining markets, which are primarily industrial-related applications, revenue was flat. Within these markets, strong revenue

growth in display capital equipment and semiconductor capital equipment volumes was offset by weakness in automotive end market demand. From a segment perspective, Networking revenues increased 56% year-over-year due to ongoing strong AI datacenter demand and the continued recovery in telecom, both in our communications market. Lasers revenue increased 6% year-over-year reflecting strong demand with higher volumes of annealing lasers in our display capital equipment market as well as strong demand in semiconductor capital equipment. Materials revenues decreased 4% year-over-year, primarily due to weak automotive end market demand.

Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2024 increased 27% to $2,783 million, compared to $2,185 million for the same period last fiscal year. Revenues increased $618 million (63%) in the communications market, with increases in datacom driven primarily by ongoing strong AI datacenter demand and the continued recovery in telecom. In our remaining markets, which are primarily industrial-related applications, revenue decreased $19 million (2%). Within these markets, strong revenue growth in display capital equipment volumes was more than offset by weakness in precision manufacturing and other markets outside of datacom and telecom. From a segment perspective, Networking revenues increased 58% year-over-year due to strong AI datacenter demand in our communications market and the continued recovery in telecom. Lasers revenue increased 5% year-over-year reflecting on-going strength in display capital equipment volumes. Materials revenues decreased 3% year-over-year, primarily due to weak automotive end market demand.

Gross margin. Gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $509 million, or 36% of total revenues, compared to $350 million, or 31% of total revenues, for the same period last fiscal year, an increase of 452 basis points. The increase as a percent of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to higher revenue volume as well as cost reductions and improvements in manufacturing yields, partially offset by unfavorable product mix. Gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $970 million, or 35% of total revenues, compared to $658 million, or 30% of total revenues, for the same period last fiscal year, an increase of 474 basis points. The increase as a percent of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to higher revenue volume, cost reductions and improvements in manufacturing yields.

Research and development. Research and development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $144 million, or 10% of revenues, compared to $111 million, or 10% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. Although flat as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024, higher R&D expenses were primarily related to continued investment in our product portfolios, particularly in datacom. R&D expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2024 were $275 million, or 10% of revenues, compared to $225 million, or 10% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. The higher R&D expenses were primarily related to continued investment in our product portfolios.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $221 million, or 15% of revenues, compared to $209 million, or 18% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily the result of higher sales volumes and lower integration consulting costs, partially offset by the impact of higher variable and share-based compensation. SG&A expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2024 were $450 million, or 16% of revenues, compared to $421 million, or 19% of revenues, for the same period last fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period last fiscal year was primarily the result of higher sales volumes partially offset by the impact of higher variable and share-based compensation.

Restructuring charges. Restructuring charges related to our Restructuring Plan for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 were $8 million and $32 million, respectively, and consist of impairment losses associated with the sale of our Newton Aycliffe business as well as move costs, accelerated depreciation, and employee termination costs due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing sites. Restructuring charges related to our Restructuring Plan for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 were a net recovery of $2 million and net charges of $1 million, respectively, and consisted of severance (including cumulative adjustments resulting in a recovery in the three months ended December 31, 2023), move costs, equipment write-offs and accelerated depreciation due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing sites. See Note 17. Restructuring Plan included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Interest and other, net. Interest and other, net for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was expense of $8 million, compared to expense of $69 million for the same period last fiscal year, a decrease of $61 million. Included in Interest and other, net, were interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency gains and losses, amortization of debt issuance costs, equity gains and losses from unconsolidated investments, and interest and dividend income on cash balances. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, the decrease of $61 million in comparison to the same period last fiscal year was driven by $41 million higher foreign exchange net gains, $10 million lower interest expense and $6 million incremental interest and dividend income due to increases in interest rates earned on investments as well as the increase in restricted cash balances. The $41 million higher foreign exchange gains were primarily due to higher volatility of exchange rates, particularly the Korean Won, Euro and Chinese Renminbi, during the three months ended December 31, 2024 in addition to the cessation of our balance sheet hedging program at the end of September 2024. The $10 million lower interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on our New Term B Loans resulting from lower balances and lower interest rates partially offset by lower interest expense benefit from our interest rate cap and swap. Interest and other, net for the six months ended December 31, 2024 was expense of $64 million, compared to expense of $136 million for the same period last fiscal year, a decrease of $72 million. For the six months ended December 31, 2024, the decrease of $72 million in comparison to the same period last fiscal year was driven by $31 million higher foreign exchange net gains, $18 million incremental interest and dividend income due to increases in interest rates earned on investments as well as the increase in restricted cash balances and $17 million lower interest expense. The $31 million higher foreign exchange gains were primarily due to higher volatility of exchange rates, particularly the Korean Won, Euro and Chinese Renminbi, during the six months ended December 31, 2024 in addition to the cessation of our balance sheet hedging program at the end of September 2024. The $17 million lower interest expense was primarily due to lower interest expense on our New Term B Loans resulting from lower balances and lower interest rates.

Income taxes. The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at December 31, 2024 was 14% compared to an effective tax rate of 24% for the same period in 2023. The variations between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% were due to tax rate differentials between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The current year-to-date rate was impacted by the recording of a $15 million windfall on stock awards due to the increase in stock price.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 was $2 million and $3 million, respectively, and represents the noncontrolling interest holders’ shares of losses of Silicon Carbide LLC. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 was $1 million. See Note 11. Noncontrolling Interests included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Segment Reporting

Revenues and segment profit for the Company’s reportable segments are discussed below. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025 as a result of a new CEO joining the Company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) implemented changes in the measure he uses to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM now evaluates each segment’s performance and allocates resources based on segment revenue and segment profit, instead of operating income, as our CODM believes segment profit is a more comprehensive profitability measure for each operating segment. Segment profit includes operating expenses directly managed by operating segments, including research and development, direct sales, marketing and administrative expenses. Segment profit does not include share-based compensation, acquisition or integration related costs, amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets, restructuring charges, and certain other charges. Additionally, effective the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we no longer allocate Corporate strategic research and development, strategic marketing and sales expenses and shared general and administrative expenses, as these expenses are not directly attributable to our operating segments. Management believes segment profit to be a useful measure for investors, as it reflects the results of segment performance over which management has direct control and is used by management in its evaluation of segment performance. See Note 13. Segment Reporting, to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the Company’s reportable segments and for the reconciliation of the Company’s segment profit to earnings (loss) before income taxes, which is incorporated herein by reference. We report our financial results in the following three designated segments: (i) Networking, (ii) Materials, and (iii) Lasers.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Senior Credit Facilities

On July 1, 2022, Coherent entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the lenders, and other parties thereto, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for senior secured financing of $4.0 billion, consisting of a term loan A credit facility (the “Term A Facility”) with an aggregate principal amount of $850 million, a term loan B credit facility (the “Term B Facility” and, together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Facilities”), with an aggregate principal amount of $2,800 million, and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Facilities, the “Senior Credit Facilities”), in an aggregate available amount of $350 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $50 million. On March 31, 2023, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which replaced the adjusted LIBOR-based rate of interest therein with an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based rate of interest. As amended, the Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate subject to a 0.10% floor plus a range of 1.75% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings bear interest at adjusted SOFR plus 1.85% as of December 31, 2024. On April 2, 2024, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, under which the principal amount of term B loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement (the “Existing Term B Loans”) were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the Existing Term B Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B Loans and certain other provisions. As further amended, the New Term B Loans bear interest at an adjusted SOFR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.50% as of December 31, 2024. On January 2, 2025, Coherent entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, under which the principal amount of the New Term B Loans were replaced with an equal amount of new term loans (the “New Term B-2 Loans”) having substantially similar terms as the New Term B Loans, except with respect to the interest rate applicable to the New Term B-2 Loans and certain other provisions. As further amended, the New Term B-2 Loans will bear interest at a SOFR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.00% as of January 2, 2025. The maturity of the New Term B-2 Loans and revolving credit facility remains unchanged. In relation to the Term Facilities, the Company incurred expense of $52 million and $106 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, which is included in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). On July 1, 2023, our interest rate cap became effective, which together with our interest rate swap (through September 30, 2024), reduced interest expense by $7 million and $21 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024.

During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Company made payments of $248 million for the Term Facilities, including voluntary payments of $215 million.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

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


	December 31, 2024		June 30, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	918	$	926
Restricted cash, current	12		174
Restricted cash, non-current	739		690
Available borrowing capacity under Revolving Credit Facility	319		346
Total debt obligations	3,860		4,100

Other Liquidity

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

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

Our cash and cash equivalent balances are generated and held in numerous locations throughout the world, including amounts held outside the United States. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held approximately $783 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash outside of the United States. Generally, cash balances held outside the United States could be repatriated to the United States.

At December 31, 2024, we had $751 million of restricted cash, which includes $748 million at our Silicon Carbide LLC that is restricted for use by only that subsidiary.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISKS

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

Interest Rate Risks

As of December 31, 2024, our total borrowings include variable rate borrowings, which expose us to changes in interest rates. In November 2019, we entered into an interest rate swap contract, amended on March 20, 2023, to limit the exposure of our variable interest rate debt by effectively converting a portion of interest payments to fixed interest rate debt. The interest rate swap expired on September 24, 2024. On February 23, 2022, we entered into an interest rate cap (the “Cap”), amended on March 20, 2023, with an effective date of July 1, 2023. On September 1, 2024, we increased the notional amount from $500 million to $1,500 million. If we had not effectively hedged our variable rate debt, a change in the interest rate of 100 basis points on these variable rate borrowings would have resulted in additional interest expense of $8 million and $16 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Table of Contents

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024 and additional risk factors that may be identified from time to time in filings of the Company, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Those risk factors are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On November 21, 2024, Stephen Skaggs, a Company director, adopted a written plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) with a duration through December 31, 2025 with respect to the sale of up to 8,000 Company shares.

On December 1, 2024, Julie Eng, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer, adopted a written plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) with a duration through July 31, 2026 with respect to the sale of up to 9,278 Company shares.

On December 6, 2024, Giovanni Barbarossa, the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer and President, Materials Segment, adopted a written plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) with a duration through December 31, 2026 with respect to the sale of up to 120,186 Company shares.

On December 9, 2024, Christopher Koeppen, the Company’s Chief Innovation Officer and SVP, Aerospace & Defense, adopted a written plan intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) with a duration through December 31, 2025 with respect to the sale of up to 31,741 Company shares.

Ronald Basso

4916 Bayard Street

Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Dear Ron:

This letter reflects the understanding between you and Coherent Corp. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) regarding the transition of your position. This letter confirms in writing our understanding about your departure date and confirms the payments and benefits that you will be eligible to receive under the terms of applicable Company arrangements as a result of your departure.

1. Departure Date. Your last day of employment with the Company will be December 31, 2024 (the “Departure Date”). You will continue to serve in your current role until the start date of your successor (the “Transition Date”), currently scheduled for November 4, 2024; provided, however, that you will remain the Corporate Secretary of the Company until November 15, 2024 in order to facilitate our Annual Shareholders Meeting.

2. Transition Services.

a. You will continue to receive your current base salary and be entitled to receive your current benefits in accordance with their terms through the Departure Date. From the Transition Date through the Departure Date, you will reasonably assist with your successor’s onboarding as the Company’s Chief Legal and Global Affairs Officer.

b. In exchange therefor, and subject to you executing and not revoking a release (as described below) you will be entitled to receive 50% of your FY25 BIP and GRIP bonuses that otherwise would have been paid to you under those programs had you been employed through the payment date of such awards, and based on the Company’s performance in FY25, as and when paid to the Company’s executive officers (within 75 days after the end of the fiscal year).

3. Employment at Will; Executive Severance Plan. Your employment with the Company remains at-will, meaning that either you and/or the Company will be free to terminate your employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, at any time before the Departure Date. However, you will remain a participant in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan (the “ESP”) in accordance with the Participation Agreement between you and the Company entered under the ESP (the “Participation Agreement”). As a result, any termination of your employment by the Company other than for “Cause” (as defined in the ESP) before the Departure Date will be treated as a “Qualifying Termination during a Non-CIC Period” under the ESP and the Participation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the transition of your services and the appointment of your successor prior to your Departure Date as described in this letter will not give you the right under the ESP or the Participation Agreement to terminate your employment for “Good Reason” (as defined under the ESP and the Participation Agreement).

4. Equity. You will meet the requirements for normal retirement under the Company’s Global Retirement Policy on October 28, 2024, which will result in your eligibility for normal retirement

vesting treatment under your outstanding equity awards, other than the fiscal year 2025 equity awards recently granted (which do not include any retirement vesting provisions). Under the terms of your applicable outstanding equity award agreements, that normal retirement treatment is (i) immediate full vesting of restricted stock units (subject to any delayed payment as may be required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), (ii) prorated vesting of performance stock units subject to actual performance results for the full performance period (payable after the end of the applicable performance period), and (iii) continued exercisability of vested stock options through the original expiration date. As additional consideration for your willingness to provide the transitional services described in this letter, the Company agrees that it will provide such normal retirement vesting treatment to your outstanding equity awards (other than the fiscal year 2025 awards) if the Company terminates your employment other than for Cause before October 28, 2024, to the extent such normal retirement vesting treatment would be better than the equity vesting treatment applicable upon a “Qualifying Termination during a Non-CIC Period” under the ESP and the Participation Agreement.

5. Resignations. As of the Departure Date, your employment with the Company and its subsidiaries will end and you hereby resign on that date from any and all offices or positions with the Company or its subsidiaries, including positions on any Company benefit plan committees.

6. Conditions to Post-Employment Benefits. As a condition to receiving the payments in Section 2.b above, you are required to provide the Company with a release of claims in the form attached to the ESP, with such changes thereto as reasonably requested by the Company. Such release of claims should not be signed earlier than the Departure Date or later than the date specified in the release. Also, you acknowledge and agree that you will be required to comply with the post-employment covenants specified in Article VI of the ESP, as well as the post-employment covenants specified in your equity award agreements with the Company.

Ron, thank you again for your years of dedicated service to Coherent, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors. To make sure we are aligned on these matters, please sign below and email a signed copy to me.

Sincerely,

/s/ James R. Anderson_________________

(“Coherent”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated August 16, 2024. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards	Dec. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275 and 34-99678, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors,” requiring public companies to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The final rules will require information about a company’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, and the actual and potential material impacts of any identified climate-related risks on the company’s strategy, business model and outlook, as well as relating to assessment, management, oversight and mitigation of such material risks, material climate-related targets and goals, and material greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in the audited financial statements. The first phase of the final rule is effective for fiscal years beginning in 2025. Disclosure for prior periods is only required if it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rule to facilitate the orderly judicial resolution of pending legal challenges to the rule. We are currently evaluating the impact on our disclosures of adopting this new pronouncement. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires disclosure about specific types of expenses included in expense captions including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. This ASU is effective for our annual disclosures starting in fiscal year 2028 and interim periods starting in fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Dec. 31, 2024
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate was 14% at December 31, 2024 compared to 24% for the period ending December 31, 2023. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% is primarily due to a discrete benefit relating to share-based compensation and tax rate differentials between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. U.S. GAAP prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements which includes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefit, excluding interest and penalties, was $115 million and $117 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. Due to the U.S. valuation allowance, a large portion of the gross unrecognized tax benefit will not impact the tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2024, $19 million of the gross unrecognized tax benefit would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $9 million and $7 million at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Fiscal years 2018 and 2020 to 2023 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2019 to 2023 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2012 to 2023 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination for certain subsidiary companies in Vietnam for the years ended June 30, 2017 through September 30, 2021; Singapore for the year ended September 30, 2020; Spain for the years ended September 30, 2020 through September 30, 2022; Malaysia for the years ended June 30, 2021 through June 30, 2023; and Germany for the years ended June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2021. The Company believes its income tax reserves for these tax matters are adequate.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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


	December 31, 2024				June 30, 2024
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Senior Notes	$	947,093	$	984,541	$	938,193	$	984,061

Term B Facility	2,249,101		2,189,476		2,390,497		2,334,701

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

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

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Reclassification	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation.
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards	In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on either a prospective or retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275 and 34-99678, “The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors,” requiring public companies to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The final rules will require information about a company’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, and the actual and potential material impacts of any identified climate-related risks on the company’s strategy, business model and outlook, as well as relating to assessment, management, oversight and mitigation of such material risks, material climate-related targets and goals, and material greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in the audited financial statements. The first phase of the final rule is effective for fiscal years beginning in 2025. Disclosure for prior periods is only required if it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rule to facilitate the orderly judicial resolution of pending legal challenges to the rule. We are currently evaluating the impact on our disclosures of adopting this new pronouncement. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires disclosure about specific types of expenses included in expense captions including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion. This ASU is effective for our annual disclosures starting in fiscal year 2028 and interim periods starting in fiscal year 2029. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this ASU on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The FASB defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous markets for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate fair value of our financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows: •Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. •Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. •Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.
