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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Reference should be made to the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Cognex Corporation's ("Cognex" or the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a full description of other significant accounting policies.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying consolidated unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments and financial statement reclassifications necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 28, 2025 , and the results of its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, 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 nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
NOTE 2: New Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures"
The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments require public business entities to disclose specific categories in their rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. They also require all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid, net of refunds received, are equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Management does not expect ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)
This ASU aims to enhance transparency for users of financial statements by requiring public business entities to disaggregate specific expense categories. This ASU mandates disclosures in the notes to financial statements detailing the composition and trends of key expense categories within major income statement captions. These enhanced disclosures are intended to help investors more effectively assess the entity’s performance, understand its cost structure, and make more accurate forecasts of future cash flows. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The adoption will result in disclosure changes only.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-05 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
This ASU provides a practical expedient to simplify the measurement of credit losses for certain receivables and contract assets. The amendments allow entities to assume that current conditions at the balance sheet date will persist over the life of these assets, eliminating the need to develop forward-looking forecasts required under the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Management does not expect ASU 2025-05 to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-06 - Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
The amendments in this ASU updates the accounting and disclosure guidance for internal-use software to better reflect modern, iterative development practices. The amendments replace the former “development stage” model with a judgment-based framework and require entities to evaluate whether significant development uncertainty exists before capitalizing costs. The ASU also incorporates website development guidance into Subtopic 350-40

and aligns disclosures for capitalized software with those for property, plant, and equipment. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2025-06 would have on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

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 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 instruments, and in doing so, considers valuations provided by a large, third-party pricing service. 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.
Accrued interest receivable is recorded in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amounted to $ 3,268,000 and $ 4,144,000 as of September 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

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 September 28, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Management currently intends to hold these securities to full value recovery at maturity.

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 twelve 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.

NOTE 7: 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 8: Commitments and Contingencies
As of September 28, 2025 , the Company had outstanding purchase orders totaling $ 42,597,000 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 September 28, 2025 , 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 9: Stockholders' Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
In March 2022, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a program providing for the repurchase of $ 500,000,000 of the Company's common stock (the "Program"). Under the Program, in addition to repurchases made in other periods, the Company repurchased 555,000 shares at a total cost of $ 23,841,000 during the nine-month period ended September 29, 2024 and 3,594,000 shares at a total cost of $ 126,233,000 during the nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 , leaving a remaining balance of $ 140,020,000 as of September 28, 2025 . The Company may repurchase shares under the 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.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
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").
The following table summarizes the number of stock-based awards granted by the Company and the weighted-average grant-date fair value per unit for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024:

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company granted PRSUs that vest upon the achievement of (1) a service condition of three years of continuous employment and (2) a performance condition established by the Compensation Committee of the Board as of the grant date. The number of shares earned could range between 0 % and 120 % based on achievement of the performance condition, which includes certain financial targets over the three-year measurement period. The fair value of these PRSUs is calculated based on the observable market price of the Company's stock on the grant date less the present value of expected future dividends. Compensation expense for these PRSUs is recognized based on the probable outcome of the performance condition with a cumulative catch-up adjustment for prior periods in the period that the probable outcome changes. During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 , the Company recorded $ 345,000 and $ 841,000 in compensation expense based on the probable three-year financial target outcome for the PRSUs granted during the first quarter of 2025.
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 11 % 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. Credits of $ 4,789,000 and $ 1,832,000 were recorded in 2025 and 2024, respectively, to true up previously recorded compensation expense for this forfeiture rate revision.
As of September 28, 2025 , total unrecognized compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested equity awards, including stock options, RSUs, and PRSUs, was $ 59,613,000 , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

(1) In July 2025, the Company entered into a commercial partnership with a strategic channel partner (the “Partner”) to better serve Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers in the specialized field of medical lab automation. Through 2030, the Partner has exclusive rights to sell machine vision hardware into these applications in combination with licensed Company software, in exchange for annual minimum license fees paid to the Company. The contract includes a substantive termination penalty if the contract is cancelled by the Partner. As such, the Company recognized the minimum license fees as revenue in the third quarter of 2025, at the point in time when the Partner received access to the software. Although the license revenue was recognized upfront, payments are expected to be received over the duration of the partnership, resulting in unbilled revenue. Also in the third quarter of 2025, the Company transferred related inventories at cost to the Partner. As a result of the upfront recognition of the license revenue and transfer of inventories, the Company recognized one-time revenue of approximately $ 13 million in the third quarter of 2025, which is included in the "Standard products and services" amount in the table above for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025.
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 $ 11,467,000 and $ 10,705,000 as of September 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 11: Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate was 72 % and 41 % for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 , respectively, and 19 % for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, respectively.
The Company has defined its major tax jurisdictions as the United States, Ireland, China, Japan, and Korea, and within the United States, Massachusetts. The statutory tax rate is 12.5 % in Ireland, 25 % in China, 34.7 % in Japan, and 21 % in Korea, compared to the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate of 21 %. These foreign tax rate differences resulted in a favorable impact to the effective tax rate for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.
The Company recorded a net discrete tax expense totaling $ 33,650,000 and $ 33,132,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 , respectively, and a net discrete tax expense totaling $ 889,000 and $ 3,511,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 29, 2024, respectively.
Discrete tax items for the nine-month period ended September 28, 2025 included (1) an increase in tax expense accrual of $ 33,265,000 related to changes in the accrual of the Company's deferred tax position upon a change in tax rates from the newly enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"); (2) an increase in tax expense of $ 2,955,000 related to stock-based compensation; (3) an increase in tax expense of $ 1,286,000 for interest expense related to tax reserves; (4) an increase in tax expense of $ 669,000 related to taxability of payroll tax credit refunds received during the year; (5) a decrease in tax expense of $ 2,748,000 for release of tax reserves related to statute of limitation lapse; (6) a net decrease in tax expense of $ 2,013,000 related to an adjustment to the Company's deferred tax position; and (7) a net decrease in tax expense of $ 282,000 related to return-to-provision adjustments.
Discrete tax items for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2024 included (1) an increase in tax expense of $ 1,645,000 related to stock-based compensation; (2) an increase in tax expense of $ 320,000 related to state tax matters; (3) an increase in tax expense of $ 1,270,000 for interest expense related to tax reserves; (4) a net decrease in tax expense of $ 854,000 related to return-to-provision adjustments; and (5) an increase in tax expense of $ 1,130,000 for other tax matters.
The Company’s reserve for income taxes, including gross interest and penalties, was $ 28,478,000 as of September 28, 2025 , of which $ 26,359,000 was classified as a non-current liability and $ 2,119,000 was classified as an offset to 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.
Within the United States, the tax years 2021 through 2024 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and 2020 through 2024 remain open to examination by various state tax authorities. The tax years 2013 through 2024 remain open to examination by various international taxing authorities in other jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
On July 4, 2025, tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the United States. OBBBA modifies certain international tax provisions such as the tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") and renames GILTI as Net CFC Tested Income ("NCTI"). The Company records NCTI taxes on a deferred basis, and as a result of OBBBA's enactment, accrued a discrete tax expense of approximately $ 33,265,000 to increase its deferred tax liability during the third quarter of 2025. The legislation is expected to result in a full-year cash tax benefit estimated between $ 12 million and $ 15 million, primarily driven by the Company's ability to immediately expense research and development costs. However, this benefit does not directly impact the Company's effective tax rate.
