NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, these notes are condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a full description of other significant accounting policies.
In the opinion of the management of Cognex Corporation (the "Company"), the accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, adjustments related to the loss from fire (Note 17), and financial statement reclassifications necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of July 3, 2022, and the results of its operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021, and changes in shareholders’ equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 2: New Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting" and (ASU) 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope"
The amendments in these ASUs apply to all entities that have contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Together, the ASUs provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management does not expect ASU 2020-04 or ASU 2021-01 to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers"
The amendments in this ASU primarily address the accounting for contract assets and contract liabilities related to revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. The ASU clarifies that an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, although early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The expected financial statement impact of this new accounting standard cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, as the impact in future periods will depend on the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations. Management does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company's disclosures.

NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurements
Financial Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table summarizes the financial assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 3, 2022 (in thousands):
Quoted Prices in
Active Markets
for Identical
Assets (Level 1) Significant Other
Observable
Inputs (Level 2) Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Money market instruments $ 3,149 $ — $ —
Corporate bonds — 495,188 —
Asset-backed securities — 70,163 —
Treasury bills — 25,030 —
Agency bonds — 18,578 —
Sovereign bonds — 1,976 —
Municipal bonds — 624 —
Economic hedge forward contracts — 46 —
Liabilities:
Economic hedge forward contracts — 425 —
The Company’s money market instruments are reported at fair value based upon the daily market price for identical assets in active markets, and are therefore classified as Level 1.
The Company’s debt securities and forward contracts are reported at fair value based on model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, and are therefore classified as Level 2. Management is responsible for estimating the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities, and in doing so, considers valuations provided by a large, third-party pricing service. For debt securities, this service maintains regular contact with market makers, brokers, dealers, and analysts to gather information on market movement, direction, trends, and other specific data. They use this information to structure yield curves for various types of debt securities and arrive at the daily valuations. The Company's forward contracts are typically traded or executed in over-the-counter markets with a high degree of pricing transparency. The market participants are generally large commercial banks.
The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the Company's acquisition of GVi Ventures, Inc. in 2017 was written down to zero in 2019 resulting from a lower level of revenue in the Americas' automotive industry. The balance remained at zero through the remainder of the five-year assessment period which concluded during the six-month period ended July 3, 2022.
Non-financial Assets that are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
Non-financial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, operating lease assets, goodwill, and intangible assets, are required to be measured at fair value only when an impairment loss is recognized. The Company did not record impairment charges related to non-financial assets during the three-month or six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 or July 4, 2021.

Management monitors debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position to determine whether a loss exists related to the credit quality of the issuer. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses, management considers all relevant information including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts of expected future cash flows. Based on this evaluation, no allowance for credit losses on debt securities was recorded as of July 3, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

NOTE 9: Warranty Obligations
The Company records the estimated cost of fulfilling product warranties at the time of sale based upon historical costs to fulfill claims. Obligations may also be recorded subsequent to the time of sale whenever specific events or changes in circumstances impacting product quality become known that would not have been taken into account using historical data. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers and third-party contract manufacturers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. An adverse change in any of these factors may result in the need for additional warranty provisions. Warranty obligations are included in “Accrued expenses” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The changes in the warranty obligation were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 10: Commitments and Contingencies
As of July 3, 2022, the Company had outstanding purchase orders totaling $ 67,516,000 to procure inventory from various vendors, due in part to higher inventory purchases in response to global supply chain constraints. Certain of these purchase orders may be canceled by the Company, subject to cancellation penalties. These purchase commitments relate primarily to expected sales in the next twelve months. The Company expects the level of outstanding purchase orders to increase for the remainder of the year as it replenishes inventories destroyed in the fire on June 7, 2022 at its primary contract manufacturer (refer to Note 17).
A significant portion of the Company's outstanding inventory purchase orders as of July 3, 2022, as well as additional preauthorized commitments to procure strategic components based on the Company's expected customer demand, are placed with the Company's primary contract manufacturer for the Company's assembled products. The Company has the obligation to purchase any non-cancelable and non-returnable components that have been purchased by this contract manufacturer with the Company's preauthorization, when these components have not been consumed within the period defined in the terms of the Company's agreement with this contract manufacturer.
NOTE 11: Derivative Instruments
The Company’s foreign currency risk management strategy is principally designed to mitigate the potential financial impact of changes in the value of transactions and balances denominated in foreign currencies resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company enters into economic hedges utilizing foreign currency forward contracts with maturities that do not exceed approximately three months to manage the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates arising primarily from foreign-denominated receivables and payables. The gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to be offset by the changes in the fair value of the assets and liabilities being hedged. These economic hedges are not designated as hedging instruments for hedge accounting treatment.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets, and Contract Liabilities
Accounts receivable represent amounts billed and currently due from customers which are reported at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance against its accounts receivable for credit losses. Contract assets consist of unbilled revenue which arises when revenue is recognized in advance of billing for certain application-specific customer solutions contracts. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and customer deposits which arise when amounts are billed to or collected from customers in advance of revenue recognition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The fair values of stock options granted in each period presented were estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:
Three-months Ended Six-months Ended
July 3, 2022 July 4, 2021 July 3, 2022 July 4, 2021
Risk-free rate 1.9 % 1.5 % 1.9 % 1.3 %
Expected dividend yield 0.53 % 0.31 % 0.40 % 0.27 %
Expected volatility 37 % 39 % 37 % 39 %
Expected term (in years) 6.1 7.1 5.2 5.8
Risk-free rate
The risk-free rate was based upon a treasury instrument whose term was consistent with the contractual term of the option.
Expected dividend yield
Generally, the current dividend yield is calculated by annualizing the cash dividend declared by the Company’s Board of Directors and dividing that result by the closing stock price on the grant date.
Expected volatility
The expected volatility was based upon a combination of historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the contractual term of the option and implied volatility for traded options of the Company’s stock.
Expected term
The expected term was derived from the binomial lattice model from the impact of events that trigger exercises over time.
The weighted-average grant-date fair values of stock options granted during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 18.21 and $ 22.33 , respectively, and during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 4, 2021 were $ 32.07 and $ 33.47 , respectively.
The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 934,000 and 3,099,000 , respectively, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 4, 2021 were $ 11,621,000 and $ 53,948,000 , respectively. The total fair values of stock options vested for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 1,188,000 and $ 26,723,000 , respectively, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 4, 2021 were $ 1,830,000 and $ 37,430,000 , respectively.

The fair value of RSUs is determined based on the observable market price of the Company's stock on the grant date less the present value of expected future dividends. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of RSUs granted during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 45.25 and $ 63.37 , respectively, and during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 4, 2021 were $ 75.98 and $ 87.46 , respectively. There were 20,000 and 74,000 RSUs that vested during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022, respectively, and 13,000 and 15,000 that vested during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 4, 2021, respectively.

No PRSUs were granted or vested during the three-month period ended July 3, 2022. No PRSUs were granted or vested during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 4, 2021.
The fair value of PRSUs is calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the probability of satisfying the service and market conditions stipulated in the award grant.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company stratifies its employee population into two groups: one consisting of senior management and another consisting of all other employees. The Company currently applies an estimated annual forfeiture rate of 7 % to all stock-based awards for senior management and a rate of 12 % for all other employees. Each year during the first quarter, the Company revises its forfeiture rate based on updated estimates of employee turnover. This resulted in an increase to compensation expense of $ 1,536,000 in 2022 and a decrease to compensation expense of $ 255,000 in 2021.
As of July 3, 2022, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested equity awards, including stock options, RSUs and PRSUs, was $ 69,142,000 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
The total stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit recognized for the three-month period ended July 3, 2022 were $ 12,997,000 and $ 2,044,000 , respectively, and for the six-month period ended July 3, 2022 were $ 28,053,000 and $ 4,363,000 , respectively. The total stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit recognized for the three-month period ended July 4, 2021 were $ 10,730,000 and $ 1,651,000 , respectively, and for the six-month period ended July 4, 2021 were $ 22,739,000 and $ 3,464,000 , respectively.

This impact was not material for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022.
Excluding the impact of these discrete tax items, the Company’s effective tax rate was 16 % for both the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022, and 18 % for both the three-month and six-month periods ended July 4, 2021. The Company has defined its major tax jurisdictions as the United States, Ireland, China, and Korea, and within the United States, Massachusetts. The statutory tax rate is 12.5 % in Ireland, 25 % in China, and 22 % in Korea compared to the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate of 21 %. These differences resulted in a lower effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 due to more of the Company's profits being earned and taxed in lower tax jurisdictions. The remaining decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods was primarily attributable to lower state taxes.
The Company’s reserve for income taxes, including gross interest and penalties, was $ 13,444,000 as of July 3, 2022, which included $ 12,876,000 classified as a non-current liability and $ 568,000 recorded as a reduction to non-current deferred tax assets. If the Company’s tax positions were sustained or the statutes of limitations related to certain positions expired, these reserves would be released and income tax expense would be reduced in a future period.

NOTE 17: Loss from Fire
On June 7, 2022, the Company’s primary contract manufacturer experienced a fire at its plant in Indonesia. The fire destroyed a significant amount of Cognex-owned consigned inventories as well as component inventories owned by the contract manufacturer that were designated for Cognex products. There was no significant damage to the Company's production equipment. Since the date of the fire and continuing through the date of this report, the Company has worked with the contract manufacturer to assess the damage, resume production, and begin the process of replenishing inventories destroyed by the fire. Additionally, beginning last year, the Company has been working to ramp up an additional contract manufacturer to further mitigate risk, diversify supply chain, and expand production capacity. We expect this additional contract manufacturer to commence production later in the year. As a result of the fire, the Company recorded $ 44,903,000 in gross losses, including $ 36,484,000 of primarily Cognex-owned inventory that was destroyed or deemed to have a net realizable value of zero and $ 8,419,000 of primarily prepayments related to Cognex-designated components that were owned by the contract manufacturer.
Based on the provisions of the Company's insurance policies, the gross losses have been reduced by the estimated insurance proceeds expected to be received from the Company’s insurance carrier. The Company has determined that partial recovery of the incurred losses is probable and therefore recorded an insurance recovery of $ 27,500,000 during the three-month period ended July 3, 2022. The insurance receivable is included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The gross losses, net of insurance recovery, total $ 17,403,000 and is presented in the caption “Loss from fire” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
As of July 3, 2022 and through the date of financial statement issuance, management cannot estimate additional recoveries that could be available from the contract manufacturer. Any future, additional recoveries in excess of recognized losses will be treated as gain contingencies and will be recognized when the gain is realized or

realizable. There can be no assurance, however, that the expected insurance coverage and/or recoveries from the contract manufacturer will be available to cover the losses from the fire.
After considering all the relevant events and circumstances resulting from the fire, management does not believe that the carrying value of the Company exceeds its fair value, or that the carrying amount of the Company’s intangible assets may not be recoverable. As such, no goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges were recorded during the three-month period ended July 3, 2022 as a result of the fire.
NOTE 18: Subsequent Events
On August 2, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $ 0.065 per share. The dividend is payable on September 2, 2022 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 19, 2022.
