NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Belden Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the Company, us, we, or our). We eliminate all significant affiliate accounts and transactions in consolidation. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented as of any date other than December 31, 2024:
•Are prepared from the books and records without audit, and
•Are prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete statements, but
•Include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data contained in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business Description
Belden Inc. (the Company, us, we, or our) is a leading global supplier of complete connection solutions built around two global
businesses - Smart Infrastructure Solutions and Automation Solutions. We sell our products to distributors, end-users, installers,
and directly to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). We have manufacturing and other operating facilities in the U.S., Canada, China, India, Mexico, Tunisia,
and various countries in Europe.
Reporting Periods
Our fiscal year and fiscal fourth quarter both end on December 31. Our fiscal first quarter ends on the Sunday falling closest to 91 days after December 31, which was March 30, 2025, the 89th day of our fiscal year 2025. Our fiscal second and third quarters each have 91 days. The six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 included 180 and 182 days, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
As of and during the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash equivalents. We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three or six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. We periodically have cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds and other investments. As of June 29, 2025, we did not have any such cash equivalents on hand. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
Contingent Liabilities
We have established liabilities for environmental and legal contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable, the amounts of which are currently not material. We accrue environmental remediation costs based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures developed in consultation with our environmental consultants and legal counsel. We are, from time to time, subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. Historically, these lawsuits have primarily involved claims for damages arising out of the use of our products, allegations of patent or trademark infringement, and litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Based on facts currently available, we believe the disposition of the claims that are pending or asserted will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow. As of June 29, 2025, we were party to surety bonds, standby letters of credit, and bank guaranties totaling $11.7 million, $9.5 million, and $6.3 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue consistent with the principles as outlined in the following five step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. See Note 2.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the financial statement issuance date for appropriate accounting and disclosure. See Note 16.
Current Year Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
None of the accounting pronouncements that became effective during 2025 had a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Pending Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09) enhancing the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are applied on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted. We did not early adopt this pronouncement and are in the process of evaluating its impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance to improve the disclosure of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The new guidance requires a public entity to provide tabular disclosure, on an annual and interim basis, of amounts for the following expense categories: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation and (4) intangible asset amortization, as included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement that contains any of the expense categories noted. Additionally, on an annual and interim basis, a qualitative description is required for amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The guidance also requires certain amounts that are currently required to be disclosed to be included in the same tabular disclosure as these disaggregation requirements. Furthermore, on an annual and interim basis, a public entity is required to separately disclose selling expenses and annually, disclose a description of the selling expenses. The guidance is effective for 2027 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2028 for interim reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We will adopt the guidance when it becomes effective, in our 2027 annual reporting and each quarter thereafter, on a prospective basis.
Note 2: Revenues

We generate revenues primarily by selling products and delivering solutions that make the digital journey simpler, smarter, and secure. We also generate revenues from providing support and professional services. We sell our products to distributors, end-users, installers, and directly to OEMs. At times, we enter into arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple performance obligations. For these arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price and recognized when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. Generally, we determine relative standalone selling price using the prices charged separately to customers on a standalone basis. Typically, payments are due after control transfers.
Most of our performance obligations related to the sale of products are satisfied at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product has been shipped or delivered from our facility to our customers, the customer has legal title to the product, and we have a present right to payment for the product. We also consider any customer acceptance clauses in determining when control has transferred to the customer and typically, these clauses are not substantive.
The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies due to rebates, returns, and price adjustments. We estimate the expected rebates, returns, and price adjustments based on an analysis of historical experience, anticipated sales demand, and trends in product pricing. For example, our estimate of price adjustments is based on our historical price adjustments as a percentage of revenues and the average time between the original sale and the issuance of the price adjustment. We adjust our estimate of revenue for variable consideration at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. We adjust other current assets and cost of sales for the estimated level of returns. Adjustments to revenue for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods were not significant during the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The following table presents estimated and accrued variable consideration:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Accrued returns included in accrued liabilities | | 15,098 | | | 15,950 | |
| Price adjustments recognized against gross accounts receivable | | 31,040 | | | 29,100 | |
Depending on the terms of an arrangement, we may defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future performance obligation. Consideration allocated to support services under a support and maintenance contract is typically paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the service. Consideration allocated to professional services is recognized when or as the services are performed depending on the terms of the arrangement. Our contract terms for support, maintenance, and professional services typically require payment within one year or less of when the services will be provided. As of June 29, 2025, total deferred revenue was $45.6 million, and of this amount, $33.6 million is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months, and the remaining $12.0 million is long-term and is expected to be recognized over a period greater than twelve months. The following table presents deferred revenue activity during the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively:

Service-type warranties represent $16.4 million of the deferred revenue balance at June 29, 2025, and of this amount $6.9 million is expected to be recognized in the next twelve months, and the remaining $9.5 million is long-term and will be recognized over a period greater than twelve months. As of June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not have any material contract assets recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We expense sales commissions as incurred when the duration of the related revenue arrangement is one year or less. We capitalize sales commissions when the original duration of the related revenue arrangement is longer than one year, and we amortize it over the related revenue arrangement period. Capitalized sales commissions as of June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were not material.

Note 3: Acquisitions
On June 30, 2024, we acquired Precision Optical Technologies (Precision) and accounted for it as a business combination. During the six months ended June 29, 2025, we received $7.9 million related to an adjustment of the consideration paid. Including this adjustment, the total consideration paid for Precision, net of cash acquired, was $281.7 million and was funded with cash on hand. Precision, based in New York, is a leading supplier of value-added optical transceivers with proprietary software, firmware configurations, and related components. Precision is reported within the Smart Infrastructure Solutions segment.
The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Precision as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| Receivables | | $ | 23,928 | |
| Inventory | | 7,098 | |
| Other current assets | | 1,486 | |
| Property, plant and equipment | | 4,737 | |
| Intangible assets | | 194,100 | |
| Goodwill | | 114,629 | |
| Operating lease right-of-use assets | | 2,731 | |
| Total assets acquired | | $ | 348,709 | |
| | |
| Accounts payable | | $ | 11,662 | |
| Accrued liabilities | | 10,093 | |
| Deferred income taxes | | 42,551 | |
| Long-term operating lease liabilities | | 2,468 | |
| Other long-term liabilities | | 222 | |
| Total liabilities assumed | | $ | 66,996 | |
| | |
| Net assets | | $ | 281,713 | |
The fair value of acquired receivables is $23.9 million, which is equivalent to its gross contractual amount. A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. If actual results are materially different than the assumptions we used to determine fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, it is possible that adjustments to the carrying values of such assets and liabilities will have an impact on our net earnings. In particular, the valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset was complex and required significant judgment. We used the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach to measure the customer relationships intangible asset. The key assumptions utilized in the valuation include discount rates, revenue growth rates, and profitability levels of forecasted results. These assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. For purposes of the above allocation, we based our estimate of the fair values for intangible assets on valuation studies performed by a third party valuation firm. We used various valuation methods including lost income, excess earnings, and relief from royalty to estimate the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets (Level 3 valuation). Goodwill and other intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the expansion of Belden’s solution selling capabilities, particularly the ability to offer more complete fiber infrastructure solutions. Our tax basis in the acquired goodwill is zero.
The intangible assets related to the acquisition consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair Value | | Amortization Period |
| | (In thousands) | | (In years) |
| Intangible assets subject to amortization: | | | | |
| Developed technologies | | $ | 24,700 | | | 5.0 |
| Customer relationships | | 161,900 | | | 20.0 |
| Trademarks | | 3,000 | | | 2.5 |
| Non-compete agreements | | 4,500 | | | 5.0 |
| Total intangible assets subject to amortization | | $ | 194,100 | | | |
| | | | |
| Intangible assets not subject to amortization: | | | | |
| Goodwill | | $ | 114,629 | | | n/a |
| Total intangible assets not subject to amortization | | $ | 114,629 | | | |
| | | | |
| Total intangible assets | | $ | 308,729 | | | |
| Weighted average amortization period | | | | 17.5 |
The amortizable intangible assets reflected in the table above were determined by us to have finite lives. The useful life for the developed technology intangible asset was based on the estimated time that the technology provides us with a competitive advantage and thus approximates the period and pattern of consumption of the intangible asset. The useful life for the customer relationship intangible asset was based on our forecasts of estimated sales from recurring customers. The useful life for the trademarks was based on the period of time we expect to continue to go to market using the trademarks.
The following table illustrates the unaudited pro forma effect on operating results as if the Precision acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2023.

| Diluted income per share attributable to Belden stockholders | | $ | 1.13 | | | $ | 1.98 | |
The above unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been had we completed the acquisition on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. Pro forma adjustments exclude cost savings from any synergies resulting from the acquisition.
Note 4: Reportable Segments
We are organized around two global businesses: Smart Infrastructure Solutions and Automation Solutions. Each of the global businesses represents a reportable segment. Our chief operating decision maker is our President and Chief Executive Officer. The key measure of segment profit or loss used by him to review segment operating results is Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA excludes certain items, including depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; asset impairment; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; adjustments related to acquisitions and divestitures; and other costs. We allocate corporate expenses to the segments for purposes of measuring Segment EBITDA. Corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of each segment’s relative EBITDA prior to the allocation. Segment revenues represent non-affiliate revenues. Our measure of segment assets does not include cash, goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets, or corporate assets. All goodwill is allocated to reporting units of our segments for purposes of impairment testing.

| Weighted average shares outstanding, diluted | 40,002 | | | 41,204 | | | 40,418 | | | 41,348 | |
For each of the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, diluted weighted average shares outstanding did not include outstanding equity awards of 0.1 million because they were anti-dilutive.
In addition, for the three months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 0.2 million because the related performance conditions have not been satisfied. For the six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 0.3 million because the related performance conditions have not been satisfied.
For purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are not included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding until all necessary conditions have been satisfied and issuance of the shares underlying the restricted stock units is no longer contingent. Necessary conditions are not satisfied until the vesting date, at which time holders of our restricted stock units receive shares of our common stock. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are included to the extent that they are dilutive. In determining whether unvested restricted stock units are dilutive, each issuance of restricted stock units is considered separately. Once a restricted stock unit has vested, it is included in the calculation of both basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Note 6: Credit Losses
We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Our expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. Our monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. Provisions and recoveries are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The following table presents the activity in the trade receivables allowance for doubtful accounts for the three and six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively:

Note 8: Leases
We have operating and finance leases for properties, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office space; as well as vehicles and equipment. We make certain judgments in determining whether a contract contains a lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02. Our leases have remaining lease terms within 1 to 20 years; some of which include extension and termination options. We do not assume renewals in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain as of the commencement date of the lease. We have a few short-term operating leases with terms less than twelve months - these leases are not recorded on our balance sheet and the overall rent expense is not material.
We also have certain lease contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single, combined lease component. The rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. As a result, we utilize the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments, which is unique to each leased asset, and is based upon the term of the lease, commencement date of the lease, local currency of the leased asset, and the credit rating of the legal entity leasing the asset.
Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees. Our variable lease expense was approximately $0.8 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

In addition, we guaranteed the lease payments for certain property leases of a former subsidiary with expiration dates extending up to 2035. These lease guarantees were retained by Belden and not transferred to the buyer of the former subsidiary. As of June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fixed, remaining base rent payments were approximately $19 million and $20 million, respectively. As of June 29, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had a liability for expected, future payments of $12.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively. The liability is based on certain assumptions that we continually reassess on an ongoing basis. We will update the estimated liability balance for changes in assumptions as needed.
Note 9: Long-Lived Assets
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
We recognized depreciation expense of $15.7 million and $13.6 million in the three months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $29.6 million and $27.0 million in the six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
We recognized amortization expense of $16.4 million and $12.4 million in the three months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $32.3 million and $25.9 million in the six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Revolving Credit Agreement due 2026
As of June 29, 2025, we had a $300.0 million multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility (the Revolver) that was set to mature June 2, 2026. On July 18, 2025, we refinanced the Revolver extending the maturity date to July 18, 2030 and increasing the borrowing capacity from $300.0 million to $400.0 million. The borrowing base under the Revolver includes eligible accounts receivable; inventory; and property, plant and equipment of certain of our subsidiaries in the United States, Belgium, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, and United Kingdom. Interest on outstanding borrowings is variable, based upon SOFR or other similar indices in foreign jurisdictions, plus a spread that ranges from 1.25% - 1.75%, depending upon our leverage position. Outstanding borrowings in the U.S. and Canada may also, at our election, be priced on a base rate plus a spread that ranges from 0.25% - 0.75%, depending on our leverage position. We pay a commitment fee on the total commitments of 0.25%. In the event that we borrow more than 90% of our combined borrowing base or our borrowing base availability is less than $20.0 million, we are subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant. As of June 29, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding on the Revolver, and our available borrowing capacity was $285.8 million. During the three months ended June 29, 2025, we borrowed and subsequently repaid $50.0 million on our Revolver at a rate of 5.7%. See Note 16.
Senior Subordinated Notes
We have outstanding €450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% senior subordinated notes due 2027 (the 2027 Notes). The carrying value of the 2027 Notes as of June 29, 2025 is $523.1 million. The 2027 Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by our current and future domestic subsidiaries. The 2027 Notes rank equal in right of payment with our senior subordinated notes due 2031 and 2028 and with any future subordinated debt, and they are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our Revolver. Interest is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
We have outstanding €350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% senior subordinated notes due 2028 (the 2028 Notes). The carrying value of the 2028 Notes as of June 29, 2025 is $406.9 million. The 2028 Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by our current and future domestic subsidiaries. The 2028 Notes rank equal in right of payment with our senior subordinated notes due 2031 and 2027 and with any future subordinated debt, and they are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our Revolver. Interest is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year.
We have outstanding €300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.375% senior subordinated notes due 2031 (the 2031 Notes). The carrying value of the 2031 Notes as of June 29, 2025 is $348.8 million. The 2031 Notes are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by our current and future domestic subsidiaries. The 2031 Notes rank equal in right of payment with our senior subordinated notes due 2028 and 2027 and with any future subordinated debt, and they are subordinated to all of our senior debt and the senior debt of our subsidiary guarantors, including our Revolver. Interest is payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
The fair value of our senior subordinated notes as of June 29, 2025 was approximately $1,262.8 million based on quoted prices of the debt instruments in inactive markets (Level 2 valuation). This amount represents the fair value of our senior subordinated notes with a carrying value of $1,278.8 million as of June 29, 2025.
Note 11: Net Investment Hedge
All of our euro denominated notes were issued by Belden Inc., a USD functional currency entity. As of June 29, 2025, €567.8 million of our outstanding foreign denominated debt is designated as a net investment hedge on the foreign currency risk of our net investment in our euro foreign operations. The objective of the hedge is to protect the net investment in the foreign operation against adverse changes in the euro exchange rate. The transaction gain or loss is reported in the translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, the transaction loss associated with the net investment hedge reported in other comprehensive income was $48.1 million and $73.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the transaction gain associated with the net investment hedge reported in other comprehensive income was $8.3 million and $21.0 million, respectively.
Note 12: Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $5.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 8.5% and 12.3%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized income tax expense of $11.1 million and $19.5 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 18.4% for both periods.
The effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the release of an uncertain tax position reserve related to certain foreign tax credits and by the effect of our foreign operations, including statutory tax rate differences and foreign tax credits. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is actively implementing changes to existing tax laws, including a global minimum tax of 15% which went into effect in 2024. This legislation has not materially impacted our provision for income taxes, but we will continually monitor and evaluate the potential impact on the countries in which we do business in future periods.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted, which includes permanent extensions of most expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions and international tax changes. We are still evaluating the potential impacts of the act on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Note 15: Share Repurchase
We have a share repurchase program which allows us to purchase our common stock through open market repurchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. This program is funded with cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities. As of June 29, 2025, we had $240.0 million of authorizations remaining under the program. This share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date.
During the three months ended June 29, 2025, we repurchased 0.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $15.5 million at an average price per share of $101.06. During the six months ended June 29, 2025, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $100.0 million at an average price per share of $103.76.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we did not repurchase shares of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 0.7 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $57.9 million at an average price per share of $85.66.
Note 16: Subsequent Events
On July 18, 2025, we refinanced the Revolver extending the maturity date to July 18, 2030 and increasing the multicurrency asset-based revolving credit facility commitments from $300.0 million to $400.0 million. See Note 10.

Foreign Currency
Our exposure to currency rate fluctuations primarily relates to exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the euro, Canadian dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese yuan, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, British pound, Indian rupee and Swiss franc. Generally, as the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are negatively impacted as our foreign denominated revenues and earnings are translated into U.S. dollars at a lower rate. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are positively impacted. Approximately 43% of our consolidated revenues during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 were to customers outside of the U.S.
In addition to the translation impact described above, currency rate fluctuations have an economic impact on our financial results. As the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against foreign currencies, it results in a relative price increase or decrease for certain of our products that are priced in U.S. dollars in a foreign location.
Global Trade Volatility
During 2025, there has been significant volatility in previously stable global trade agreements. Sharp and sudden increases in tariff rates have the potential to increase the input costs for our products and impact our ability to compete in certain jurisdictions. We closely monitor the global trade landscape and take appropriate measures in our supply chain and pricing strategies to mitigate the impact of increased tariffs.
Inflation
During periods of inflation, if we are unable to raise prices timely and sufficiently to recover our material costs, our earnings could decline. Furthermore, inflation may impact labor, energy, and other costs. We monitor inflation pressures and proactively implement selling price increases or cost control measures as appropriate.
Commodity Prices
Our operating results can be affected by changes in prices of commodities, primarily copper and compounds, which are components in some of the products we sell. Generally, as the costs of inventory purchases increase due to higher commodity prices, we raise selling prices to customers to cover the increase in costs, resulting in higher sales revenue but a lower gross profit percentage. Conversely, a decrease in commodity prices would result in lower sales revenue but a higher gross profit percentage. Selling prices of our products are affected by many factors, including end market demand, capacity utilization, overall economic conditions, and commodity prices. There is no exact measure of the effect of changing commodity prices, as there are thousands of transactions in any given quarter, each of which has various factors involved in the individual pricing decisions. Therefore, all references to the effect of copper prices or other commodity prices are estimates.
Channel Inventory
Our operating results also can be affected by the levels of Belden products purchased and held as inventory by our channel partners and customers. Our channel partners and customers purchase and hold the products they bought from us in their inventory in order to meet the service and on-time delivery requirements of their customers. Generally, as our channel partners and customers change the level of products they buy from us and hold in their inventory, it impacts our revenues. Comparisons of our results between periods can be impacted by changes in the levels of channel inventory. We use information provided to us by our channel partners and make certain assumptions based on our sales to them to determine the amount of products they bought from us and hold in their inventory. As such, all references to the effect of channel inventory changes are estimates.
Market Growth and Market Share
The markets in which we operate can generally be characterized as highly competitive and highly fragmented, with many players. We monitor available data regarding market growth, including independent market research reports, publicly available indices, and the financial results of our direct and indirect peer companies, in order to estimate the extent to which our served markets grew or contracted during a particular period. We generally expect that our unit sales volume will increase or decrease consistently with the market growth rate. Our strategic goal is to transition to a solutions provider and target faster growing geographies, applications, and trends within our end markets, in order to achieve growth that is higher than the general market growth rate. To the extent that we exceed the market growth rates, we consider it to be the result of capturing market share.
Borrowings on Revolver
During the three months ended June 29, 2025, we borrowed $50.0 million under our revolver for general business purposes, and then subsequently repaid the entire $50.0 million during the quarter. See Note 10.
Share Repurchase Program
During the six months ended June 29, 2025, we repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $100.0 million at an average price per share of $103.76. See Note 15.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows that are or would be considered material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
During the six months ended June 29, 2025:
•We did not change any of our existing critical accounting policies from those listed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K;
•No existing accounting policies became critical accounting policies because of an increase in the materiality of associated transactions or changes in the circumstances to which associated judgments and estimates relate; and
•There were no significant changes in the manner in which critical accounting policies were applied or in which related judgments and estimates were developed.

Revenues increased $67.7 million and $156.8 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2024 due to the following factors:
•Higher sales volume contributed $31.8 million and $91.5 million in revenues, respectively.

•Copper pass-through pricing had a $3.8 million and $13.4 million favorable impact on revenues, respectively.
•Currency translation had a $4.6 million favorable and $2.3 million unfavorable impact on revenues, respectively.
Gross profit increased $31.8 million and $76.0 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2024 primarily due to the increases in revenues discussed above. Gross profit margins were robust, expanding 100 basis points and 130 basis points from 37.5% to 38.5% and 37.6% to 38.9%, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $12.4 million and $33.2 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2024 primarily due to expenses from the operations of companies acquired in 2024.

| Effective tax rate | 8.5 | % | | 18.4 | % | | | | 12.3 | % | | 18.4 | % | | |
For the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $5.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 8.5% and 12.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates for both periods were primarily impacted by the release of an uncertain tax position reserve related to certain foreign tax credits and by the effect of our foreign operations, including statutory tax rate differences and foreign tax credits. On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted, which includes permanent extensions of most expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions and international tax changes. We are still evaluating the potential impacts of the act on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. See Note 12.

| as a percent of revenues | 17.0 | % | | 16.5 | % | | | | 16.8 | % | | 16.2 | % | | |
Adjusted EBITDA increased $14.7 million and $33.9 million in the three and six months ended June 29, 2025, respectively, from the comparable periods of 2024 primarily due to the increases in revenues discussed above and favorable mix, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation and strategic investments. Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 50 basis points and 60 basis points to 17.0% and 16.8%, respectively.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we provide non-GAAP operating results adjusted for certain items, including: asset impairments; accelerated depreciation expense due to plant consolidation activities; acquisition-related expenses, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory to fair value, and transaction costs; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of businesses and assets; amortization of intangible assets; gains (losses) on debt extinguishment; certain gains (losses) from patent settlements; discontinued operations; and other costs. We adjust for the items listed above in all periods presented, unless the impact is clearly immaterial to our financial statements. When we calculate the tax effect of the adjustments, we include all current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the adjusted measure of pre-tax profitability.
We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments and for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. As an example, we adjust for acquisition-related expenses, such as amortization of intangibles and impacts of fair value adjustments because they generally are not related to the acquired business' core operating performance. As an additional example, we exclude the costs of restructuring programs, which can occur from time to time for our current businesses and/or recently acquired businesses. We exclude the costs in calculating adjusted results to allow us and investors to evaluate the performance of the business based upon its expected ongoing operating structure. We believe the adjusted measures, accompanied by the disclosure of the costs of these programs, provides valuable insight.
Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The following tables reconcile our GAAP results to our non-GAAP financial measures:

Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA margins expanded 110 basis points and 120 basis points to 21.4% and 21.1%, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Significant factors affecting our cash liquidity include (1) cash from operating activities, (2) disposals of businesses and tangible assets, (3) cash used for acquisitions, restructuring actions, capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, and senior subordinated note repurchases, and (4) our available credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements. We expect our operating activities to generate cash in 2025 and believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund current working capital requirements, capital expenditures, contributions to our retirement plans, share repurchases, senior subordinated note repurchases, quarterly dividend payments, and our short-term operating strategies. However, we may require external financing in the event we complete a significant acquisition. Our ability to continue to fund our future needs from business operations could be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to: economic conditions worldwide, customer demand, competitive market forces, customer acceptance of our product offerings, and commodities pricing. The following table is derived from our Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statements:

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $89.5 million in the six months ended June 29, 2025 compared to $85.7 million in the year ago period due to an increase in earnings, partially offset by unfavorable changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $49.3 million in the six months ended June 29, 2025 compared to $45.7 million in the year ago period. Investing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2025 included capital expenditures of $57.4 million, partially offset by cash from business acquisitions and asset sales of $7.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included capital expenditures of $46.2 million, partially offset by asset sales of $0.5 million.
Net cash used for financing activities totaled $116.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2025 compared to $67.4 million in the year ago period. Financing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2025 included payments under our share repurchase program, including excise tax of $100.9 million; payments on our revolving credit facility of $50.0 million; payments related to share based compensation activities of $14.2 million; cash dividend payments of $4.0 million; and financing lease payments of $0.9 million; partially offset by borrowings on our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $50.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $301.5 million as of June 29, 2025. Of the total cash balance, $180.8 million was held outside of the U.S. in our foreign operations. Substantially all of the foreign cash and cash equivalents are readily convertible into U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. Our strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund our operations in the U.S., and it is our current intention to permanently reinvest the foreign cash outside of the U.S. If we were to repatriate the foreign cash to the U.S., we may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes in accordance with applicable U.S. tax rules and regulations as a result of the repatriation.
Our outstanding debt obligations as of June 29, 2025 consisted of $1,278.8 million of senior subordinated notes. Additional discussion regarding our various borrowing arrangements is included in Notes 10 and 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

However, since the trends and outcome of this litigation are inherently uncertain, we cannot give absolute assurance regarding the future resolution of such litigation, or that such litigation may not become material in the future.
