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, 2022 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 losses and recoveries from the fire (Note 17), and financial statement reclassifications necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of July 2, 2023, and the results of its operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, 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 2, 2023 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", (ASU) 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope", and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" 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, 2024, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2024 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, 2024. Management adopted Topic 848 on January 1, 2023, and now uses the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures. 9 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 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 2, 2023 (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 $ 30,492 $ — $ — Corporate bonds — 527,352 — Treasury bills — 72,709 — Asset-backed securities — 52,340 — Sovereign bonds — 1,932 — Municipal bonds — 635 — Economic hedge forward contracts — 118 — Liabilities: Economic hedge forward contracts — 31 — 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. 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 2, 2023 or July 3, 2022. 10 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 4: Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Investments Cash, cash equivalents, and investments consisted of the following (in thousands): July 2, 2023 December 31, 2022 Cash $ 146,993 $ 180,959 Money market instruments 30,492 415 Cash and cash equivalents 177,485 181,374 Corporate bonds 165,539 164,055 Asset-backed securities 15,339 26,890 Treasury bills 9,961 11,332 Municipal bonds 635 624 Agency bonds — 15,858 Current investments 191,474 218,759 Corporate bonds 361,813 374,440 Treasury bills 62,748 44,214 Asset-backed securities 37,001 33,539 Sovereign bonds 1,932 1,924 Non-current investments 463,494 454,117 $ 832,453 $ 854,250 Corporate bonds consist of debt securities issued by both domestic and foreign companies; asset-backed securities consist of debt securities collateralized by pools of receivables or loans with credit enhancement; treasury bills consist of debt securities issued by the U.S. government; municipal bonds consist of debt securities issued by state and local government entities; agency bonds consist of domestic or foreign obligations of government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises that have government backing; and sovereign bonds consist of direct debt issued by foreign governments.

The Company did not have any leases that had not yet commenced but that created significant rights and obligations as of July 2, 2023. In June 2023, the Company entered into a lease for a 115,000 square-foot building in Singapore to serve as a new distribution center for customers in Asia. The lease contains two components, including a 88,000 square-foot premises with a term of ten years, six months . The Company has the right and option to extend the term of this lease component for an additional period of five years , commencing upon the expiration of the original term. This lease component commenced during the second quarter of 2023, and therefore the Company recorded approximately $ 29,684,000 , which reflects an estimated extension period of five years , within "Operating lease assets" and "Operating lease liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on the commencement date. The second component of this Singapore lease is for a 27,000 square-foot premises with a term of eight years . The commencement date for this lease component is in the fourth quarter of 2025, and therefore it was not yet recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, nor did it create any significant rights and obligations as of July 2, 2023. The Company has the right and option to extend the term of this lease component for an additional period of five years , commencing upon the expiration of the original term. Future payment obligations associated with this lease component total $ 13,231,000 , none of which is payable in 2023 and which reflects an estimated extension period of five years . Future payment obligations related to this lease component are not included in the future operating lease cash payments table above. 13 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) In December 2021, the Company entered into a lease for a 65,000 square-foot building in Southborough, Massachusetts for a term of ten years to serve as a new distribution center for customers in the Americas. The Company has the right and option to extend the term of this lease for an additional period of five years , commencing upon the expiration of the original ten-year term. This lease commenced during the first quarter of 2022, and therefore the Company recorded approximately $ 9,271,000 , which does not reflect an estimated extension period, within "Operating lease assets" and "Operating lease liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on the commencement date. The weighted-average discount rate was 5.3 % and 3.3 % for the leases outstanding as of July 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The weighted-average remaining lease term was 11.0 and 7.8 years for the leases outstanding as of July 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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): Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 4,375 Provisions for warranties issued during the period 1,163 Fulfillment of warranty obligations ( 1,537 ) Balance as of July 2, 2023 $ 4,001 NOTE 10: Commitments and Contingencies As of July 2, 2023, the Company had outstanding purchase orders totaling $ 40,388,000 to procure inventory from various vendors. 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. A significant portion of the Company's outstanding inventory purchase orders as of July 2, 2023, 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 the 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. While the Company typically expects such purchased components to be used in future production of Cognex finished goods, these components are considered in the Company's reserve estimate for excess and obsolete inventory. Furthermore, the Company accrues for losses on commitments for the future purchase of non-cancelable and non-returnable components from this contract manufacturer at the time that circumstances, such as changes in demand, indicate that the value of the components may not be recoverable, the loss is probable, and management has the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. Various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened on behalf of or against the Company. While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, we believe that any liability arising from them will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. 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. 15 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The Company had the following outstanding forward contracts (in thousands): July 2, 2023 December 31, 2022 Currency Notional Value USD Equivalent Notional Value USD Equivalent Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Euro 32,500 $ 35,371 60,000 $ 64,174 Chinese Renminbi 70,000 9,665 55,000 7,619 Mexican Peso 120,000 6,979 185,000 9,480 Hungarian Forint 1,950,000 5,671 1,590,000 4,238 British Pound 3,540 4,467 3,445 4,161 Japanese Yen 600,000 4,159 700,000 5,281 Canadian Dollar 1,750 1,321 1,730 1,278 Swiss Franc — — 1,120 1,218 Information regarding the fair value of the outstanding forward contracts was as follows (in thousands): Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Balance Fair Value Balance Fair Value Sheet Location July 2, 2023 December 31, 2022 Sheet Location July 2, 2023 December 31, 2022 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Economic hedge forward contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 118 $ 27 Accrued expenses $ 31 $ 479 The following table presents the gross activity for all derivative assets and liabilities which were presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the right of offset with each counterparty (in thousands): Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives July 2, 2023 December 31, 2022 July 2, 2023 December 31, 2022 Gross amounts of recognized assets $ 118 $ 27 Gross amounts of recognized liabilities $ 31 $ 479 Gross amounts offset — — Gross amounts offset — — Net amount of assets presented $ 118 $ 27 Net amount of liabilities presented $ 31 $ 479 Information regarding the effect of derivative instruments on the consolidated financial statements was as follows (in thousands): Location in Financial Statements Three-months Ended Six-months Ended July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Gains (losses) recognized in current operations Foreign currency gain (loss) $ 859 $ 6,191 $ ( 612 ) $ 7,930 16 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 12: Revenue Recognition The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue information by geographic area based upon the customer's country of domicile (in thousands): Three-months Ended Six-months Ended July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 Americas $ 82,297 $ 91,551 $ 162,911 $ 218,210 Europe 56,860 61,840 116,702 124,631 Greater China 72,351 78,616 105,351 127,021 Other Asia 31,004 42,621 58,672 87,173 $ 242,512 $ 274,628 $ 443,636 $ 557,035 The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue information by revenue type (in thousands): Three-months Ended Six-months Ended July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 Standard products and services $ 194,944 $ 221,474 $ 385,727 $ 479,354 Application-specific customer solutions 47,568 53,154 57,909 77,681 $ 242,512 $ 274,628 $ 443,636 $ 557,035 Costs to Fulfill a Contract Costs to fulfill a contract are included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and amounted to $ 18,951,000 and $ 14,578,000 as of July 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 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.

NOTE 13: Stock-Based Compensation Expense Stock Plans The Company’s stock-based awards that result in compensation expense consist of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs"). In May 2023, the shareholders of the Company approved the Cognex Corporation 2023 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan permits awards of stock options (both incentive and non-qualified options), stock appreciation rights, RSUs, and PRSUs. Up to 8,100,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events) may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2023 Plan. In connection with the approval of the 2023 Plan, no further awards will be made under the Cognex Corporation 2001 General Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the “2001 Plan”), and the Cognex Corporation 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2007 Plan”). With the approval of the 2023 Plan, the 10,610,800 shares of common stock subject to awards granted under the 2001 Plan and the 2007 Plan that were outstanding as of May 3, 2023 may become eligible for issuance under the 2023 Plan if such awards are forfeited, cancelled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) (the “Carryover Shares”). As of July 2, 2023, forfeits, cancellations, and other terminations from the 2001 Plan and the 2007 Plan have resulted in 147,585 Carryover Shares, raising the authorized total shares that may be issued under the 2023 Plan to 8,247,585 . As of July 2, 2023, the Company had 8,183,000 shares available for grant under its stock plans. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date and generally vest over four or five years based upon continuous service and expire ten years from the grant date. RSUs generally vest upon three or four years of continuous employment or incrementally over such three or four-year periods. PRSUs generally vest upon three years of continuous employment and achievement of performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors on or prior to the grant date. Participants are not entitled to dividends on stock options, RSUs, or PRSUs. 18 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Stock Options The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the six-month period ended July 2, 2023: Shares (in thousands) Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 8,467 $ 51.56 Granted 1,266 47.28 Exercised ( 299 ) 33.87 Forfeited or expired ( 515 ) 58.22 Outstanding as of July 2, 2023 8,919 $ 51.16 6.31 $ 70,411 Exercisable as of July 2, 2023 5,213 $ 47.62 4.90 $ 52,631 Options vested or expected to vest as of July 2, 2023 (1) 8,416 $ 50.95 6.17 $ 67,670 (1) In addition to the vested options, the Company expects a portion of the unvested options to vest at some point in the future. Options expected to vest are calculated by applying an estimated forfeiture rate to the unvested options. 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 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 Risk-free rate 3.5 % 1.9 % 3.9 % 1.9 % Expected dividend yield 0.56 % 0.53 % 0.59 % 0.40 % Expected volatility 39 % 37 % 39 % 37 % Expected term (in years) 5.9 6.1 4.9 5.2 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 2, 2023 were $ 20.09 and $ 17.86 , respectively, and during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 18.21 and $ 22.33 , respectively. The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 were $ 2,123,000 and $ 5,562,000 , respectively, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 934,000 and $ 3,099,000 , respectively. The total fair values of stock options vested for the three-month and 19 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 were $ 892,000 and $ 32,073,000 , respectively, and for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 1,188,000 and $ 26,723,000 , respectively. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) The following table summarizes the Company's RSUs activity for the six-month period ended July 2, 2023: Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested as of December 31, 2022 1,269 $ 61.74 Granted 663 46.86 Vested ( 482 ) 59.40 Forfeited or expired ( 65 ) 61.52 Nonvested as of July 2, 2023 1,385 $ 55.44 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 2, 2023 were $ 52.53 and $ 46.86 , respectively, and during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022 were $ 45.25 and $ 63.37 , respectively. There were 29,000 and 482,000 RSUs that vested during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023, respectively, and 20,000 and 74,000 that vested during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022, respectively. Performance Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs) The following table summarizes the Company's PRSUs activity for the six-month period ended July 2, 2023: Shares (in thousands) Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Nonvested as of December 31, 2022 33 $ 62.49 Granted 46 44.86 Vested — — Forfeited or expired — — Nonvested as of July 2, 2023 79 $ 52.23 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. There were 0 and 46,000 PRSUs granted during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023, respectively, and 0 and 33,000 PRSUs granted during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022, respectively. No PRSUs vested during the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022. Stock-Based Compensation Expense The Company stratifies its employee population into three groups: one consisting of the CEO, one consisting of senior management, and another consisting of all other employees. The Company currently applies an estimated annual forfeiture rate of 0 % to all stock-based awards for the CEO, 8 % to all stock-based awards for senior management, and a rate of 13 % 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 a decrease to compensation expense of $ 234,000 in 2023 and an increase to compensation expense of $ 1,536,000 in 2022. As of July 2, 2023, total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested equity awards, including stock options, RSUs, and PRSUs, was $ 76,162,000 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. 20 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) The total stock-based compensation expense and the related income tax benefit recognized for the three-month period ended July 2, 2023 were $ 12,574,000 and $ 1,892,000 , respectively, and for the six-month period ended July 2, 2023 were $ 29,153,000 and $ 4,200,000 , respectively. 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. No compensation expense was capitalized as of July 2, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense by caption for each period presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands): Three-months Ended Six-months Ended July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 July 2, 2023 July 3, 2022 Cost of revenue $ 441 $ 482 $ 1,062 $ 1,045 Research, development, and engineering 3,308 3,851 9,198 8,299 Selling, general, and administrative 8,825 8,664 18,893 18,709 $ 12,574 $ 12,997 $ 29,153 $ 28,053 NOTE 14: Stock Repurchase Program On March 12, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $ 200,000,000 of the Company's common stock. Under this March 2020 program, in addition to repurchases made in prior years, the Company repurchased 1,677,000 shares at a cost of $ 117,000,000 during the six-month period ended July 3, 2022, which completed purchases under this program.

The Company may repurchase shares under this program in future periods depending on a variety of factors, including, among other things, the impact of dilution from employee stock awards, stock price, share availability, and cash requirements. The Company is authorized to make repurchases of its common stock through open market purchases, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, or in privately negotiated transactions. 21 COGNEX CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 15: Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate was 15 % and 12 % for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023, respectively, and 9 % and 17 % for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 3, 2022, respectively.

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 foreign tax rate differences resulted in a net decrease to the effective tax rate for both the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022. The Company recorded a net discrete tax expense totaling $ 399,000 and a net discrete tax benefit totaling $ 3,195,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended July 2, 2023, and a net discrete tax benefit totaling $ 2,352,000 and a net discrete tax expense totaling $ 3,986,000 for the same periods in 2022.

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, the Company has worked with the contract manufacturer to resume production, maintain standards of product quality, and replenish inventories destroyed by the fire. The Company has also been working to ramp up an additional contract manufacturer to further mitigate risk, diversify the supply chain, and expand production capacity. During the three-month period ended July 3, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss related to the fire of $ 17,403,000 , consisting primarily of losses from inventories and other assets of $ 44,903,000 , partially offset by an estimated insurance recovery of $ 27,500,000 . The net loss is presented in the caption “Loss (recovery) from fire” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company received insurance proceeds of $ 27,560,000 from the Company's insurance carrier in the fourth quarter of 2022, and gross losses recorded during 2022 related to the fire were further reduced by the proceeds received in excess of the original estimated insurance recovery. During the three-month period ended July 2, 2023, the Company recorded a recovery related to the fire of $ 2,500,000 for proceeds received from the Company's insurance carrier in relation to a business interruption claim. This recovery amount is presented in the caption “Loss (recovery) from fire” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of July 2, 2023 and through the date of financial statement issuance, management cannot yet 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 insurance coverage and/or recoveries from the contract manufacturer will be available to cover the losses from the fire.
