Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information Nature of Operations Founded in 1927, Littelfuse is an industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected, and safer world. Across more than 20 countries, and with approximately 18,000 global associates, the Company partners with customers to design and deliver innovative, reliable solutions. Serving over 100,000 end customers, the Company’s products are found in a variety of industrial, transportation and electronics end markets – everywhere, every day. Basis of Presentation The Company’s accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the consolidated balance sheets, statements of net income and comprehensive income, statements of cash flows, and statement of stockholders' equity prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. They have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which should be read in conjunction with the disclosures therein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual operating results. Revenue Recognition Revenue Disaggregation The following tables disaggregate the Company’s revenue by primary business units for the three months ended April 1, 2023 and April 2, 2022: Three Months Ended April 1, 2023 (in thousands) Electronics Segment Transportation Segment Industrial Segment Total Electronics – Passive Products and Sensors $ 148,598 $ — $ — $ 148,598 Electronics – Semiconductor 209,995 — — 209,995 Passenger Car Products — 61,697 — 61,697 Automotive Sensors — 20,798 — 20,798 Commercial Vehicle Products — 84,146 — 84,146 Industrial Products — — 84,548 84,548 Total $ 358,593 $ 166,641 $ 84,548 $ 609,782 Three Months Ended April 2, 2022 (in thousands) Electronics Segment Transportation Segment Industrial Segment Total Electronics – Passive Products and Sensors $ 169,943 $ — $ — $ 169,943 Electronics – Semiconductor 195,878 — — 195,878 Passenger Car Products — 64,494 — 64,494 Automotive Sensors — 26,137 — 26,137 Commercial Vehicle Products — 93,873 — 93,873 Industrial Products — — 73,005 73,005 Total $ 365,821 $ 184,504 $ 73,005 $ 623,330 8 Table of Contents See Note 15, Segment Information for net sales by segment and countries. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue on product sales in the period in which the Company satisfies its performance obligation and control of the product is transferred to the customer. The Company’s sales arrangements with customers are predominately short term in nature and generally provide for transfer of control at the time of shipment as this is the point at which title and risk of loss of the product transfers to the customer. At the end of each period, for those shipments where title to the products and the risk of loss and rewards of ownership do not transfer until the product has been received by the customer, the Company adjusts revenues and cost of sales for the delay between the time that the products are shipped and when they are received by the customer. The amount of revenue recorded reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods and may include adjustments for customer allowance, rebates and price adjustments. The Company’s distribution channels are primarily through direct sales and independent third-party distributors. The Company elected the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 340-40-25-4 to expense commissions when incurred as the amortization period of the commission asset the Company would have otherwise recognized is less than one year. Revenue and Billing The Company generally accepts orders from customers through receipt of purchase orders or electronic data interchange based on written sales agreements and purchasing contracts. Contract pricing and selling agreement terms are based on market factors, costs, and competition. Pricing is often negotiated as an adjustment (premium or discount) from the Company’s published price lists. The customer is invoiced when the Company’s products are shipped to them in accordance with the terms of the sales agreement. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company elected the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-18 to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company also elected the practical expedient provided in ASC 606-10-25-18B to treat all product shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and therefore recognize the gross revenue associated with the contract, inclusive of any shipping and handling revenue. Ship and Debit Program Some of the terms of the Company’s sales agreements and normal business conditions provide customers (distributors) the ability to receive price adjustments on products previously shipped and invoiced. This practice is common in the industry and is referred to as a “ship and debit” program. This program allows the distributor to debit the Company for the difference between the distributors’ contracted price and a lower price for specific transactions. Under certain circumstances (usually in a competitive situation or large volume opportunity), a distributor will request authorization for pricing allowances to reduce its price. When the Company approves such a reduction, the distributor is authorized to “debit” its account for the difference between the contracted price and the lower approved price. The Company establishes reserves for this program based on historical activity, distributor inventory levels and actual authorizations for the debit and recognizes these debits as a reduction of revenue. Return to Stock The Company has a return to stock policy whereby certain customers, with prior authorization from Littelfuse management, can return previously purchased goods for full or partial credit. The Company establishes an estimated allowance for these returns based on historical activity. Sales revenue and cost of sales are reduced to anticipate estimated returns. Volume Rebates The Company offers volume based sales incentives to certain customers to encourage greater product sales. If customers achieve their specific quarterly or annual sales targets, they are entitled to rebates. The Company estimates the projected amount of rebates that will be achieved by the customer and recognizes this estimated cost as a reduction to revenue as products are sold. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash 9 Table of Contents The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. (in thousands) April 1, 2023 December 31, 2022 Cash and cash equivalents $ 425,127 $ 562,588 Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets 812 802 Restricted cash included in other long-term assets 1,586 1,549 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 427,525 $ 564,939 Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2023-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements". The standard requires that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be: 1) Amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset (the leased asset) through a lease. However, if the lessor obtained the right to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease with another entity not within the same common control group, the amortization period may not exceed the amortization period of the common control group. 2) Accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity (or net assets for not-for-profit entities) if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. Additionally, those leasehold improvements are subject to the impairment guidance in Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. This standard is effective on January 1, 2024. The Company does not expect any material effect on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 2. Acquisitions The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” in which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition. The operating results of the acquired business are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition. Western Automation On February 3, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Western Automation Research and Development Limited (“Western Automation”) for approximately $ 162 million in cash. Headquartered in Galway, Ireland, Western Automation is a designer and manufacturer of electrical shock protection devices used across a broad range of high-growth end markets, including e-Mobility off-board charging infrastructure, industrial safety and renewables. At the time the Company and Western Automation entered into the definitive agreement, Western Automation had annualized sales of approximately $ 25 million. The business is reported within the Company’s Industrial segment. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. The total purchase consideration of $ 158.3 million, net of cash, has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on preliminary estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. The primary area not yet finalized relates to the completion of the valuation of certain acquired income tax assets and liabilities. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as the valuations are finalized. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Western Automation acquisition: 10 Table of Contents (in thousands) Purchase Price Allocation Total purchase consideration: Cash, net of cash acquired $ 158,260 Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Trade receivables, net 3,389 Inventories 3,678 Other current assets 718 Property, plant, and equipment 1,328 Intangible assets 68,000 Goodwill 94,823 Other non-current assets 573 Current liabilities ( 5,251 ) Other non-current liabilities ( 8,998 ) $ 158,260 All Western Automation assets and liabilities were recorded in the Industrial segment and are primarily reflected in the Europe geographic area. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synerg ies from combining Western Automation’s products and technology with the Company’s existing Industrial products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the Western Automation acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the three months ended April 1, 2023 are net sales of $ 2.7 million, and a loss before income taxes of $ 0.1 million, since the February 3, 2023 acquisition of Western Automation. During the three months ended April 1, 2023, the Company incurred approximately $ 1.4 million of legal and professional fees related to the Western Automation acquisition recognized as Selling, general, and administrative expenses . These costs were reflected as other non-segment costs. C&K Switches On July 19, 2022, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of C&K Switches (“C&K”) for $ 540 million in cash. Founded in 1928, C&K is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance electromechanical switches and interconnect solutions with a strong global presence across a broad range of end markets, including industrial, transportation, datacom, and aerospace. At the time the Company and C&K entered into the definitive agreement, C&K had annualized sales of over $ 200 million. The business is reported as part of the electronics-passive products and sensors business within the Company's Electronics segment. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and debt. The total purchase consideration of $ 523.0 million, net of cash acquired, has been allocated, on a preliminary basis, to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the completion of the acquisition, based on preliminary estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation is preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process. As a result, these allocations are subject to change during the purchase price allocation period as the valuations are finalized. The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the C&K acquisition: 11 Table of Contents (in thousands) Purchase Price Allocation Total purchase consideration: Cash, net of cash acquired $ 523,014 Allocation of consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Trade receivables, net 20,967 Inventories 42,968 Other current assets 2,932 Property, plant, and equipment 32,791 Intangible assets 254,700 Goodwill 270,245 Other non-current assets 14,797 Current liabilities ( 47,734 ) Long- term debt ( 9,626 ) Other non-current liabilities ( 59,026 ) $ 523,014 All C&K goodwill, other assets and liabilities were recorded in the Electronics segment and are reflected in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic areas. The goodwill resulting from this acquisition consists largely of the Company’s expected future product sales and synergies from combining C&K’s products and technology with the Company’s existing Electronics products portfolio. Goodwill resulting from the C&K acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As required by purchase accounting rules, the Company recorded a $ 10.8 million step-up of inventory to its fair value as of the acquisition date based on the preliminary valuation. The step-up was amortized as a non-cash charge to cost of sales during the third and fourth quarter of 2022 as the acquired inventory was sold and reflected as other non-segment costs. Embed On April 12, 2022, the Company acquired Embed Ltd. (“Embed”). Founded in 2005, Embed is a proven provider of embedded software and firmware developed for a broad range of applications serving transportation end markets, primarily including commercial vehicle electrification and eMobility. The business is included in the commercial vehicle business within the Company's Transportation segment. The acquisition was funded with the Company’s cash on hand. The total purchase consideration was $ 9.2 million, net of cash. Pro Forma Results The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the combined results of operations of the Company and Western Automation as though the acquisition had occurred as of January 2, 2022, and C&K as though the acquisition had occurred as of December 27, 2020, and Carling as though the acquisition had occurred as of December 29, 2019. The Company has not included pro forma results of operations for Embed as its operations were not material to the Company. The pro forma amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of either the actual consolidated results had the Western Automation acquisition occurred as of January 2, 2022, and had the C&K acquisition occurred as of December 27, 2020 and had Carling acquisition occurred as of December 29, 2019 or of future consolidated operating results.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. Observable inputs are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about valuation based on the best information available in the circumstances. Depending on the inputs, the Company classifies each fair value measurement as follows: Level 1 —Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; Level 2 —Valuations based upon quoted prices for similar instruments, prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations, all of whose significant inputs are observable, and Level 3 —Valuations based upon one or more significant unobservable inputs . There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the period. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market funds, which are held with an institution with sound credit rating and are highly liquid. The Company classified cash equivalents as Level 1 and are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Investments in Equity Securities Investments in equity securities listed on a national market or exchange are valued at the last sales price and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy and recorded in Investments and Other long-term assets. Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments On May 12, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively converting the interest rate on the Company's SOFR based floating-rate loans to a fixed-rate. The interest rate swap, with a notional value of $ 200 million, was designated as a cash flow hedge against the variability of cash flows associated with the Company's SOFR based loans scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027. The fair value of the interest rate swap was valued using an independent third-party valuation model. Pursuant to this model, c hanges in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss u ntil the underlying transactions are recognized in earnings. The primary inputs into the valuation of the interest rate swap are interest yield curves, interest rate volatility, credit risk, credit spreads and other market information. The interest rate swap is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, since all significant inputs are corroborated by market observable data. The use of derivatives creates exposure to credit risk relating to potential losses that could be recognized in the event that the counterparties to these instruments fail to perform their obligations under the contracts. The Company seeks to minimize this risk by limiting our counterparties to major financial institutions with acceptable credit ratings and monitoring the total value of 18 Table of Contents positions with individual counterparties. In the event of a default by one of our counterparties, the Company may not receive payments provided for under the terms of our derivatives. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments On July 14, 2022, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to mitigate the currency fluctuation risk between the Euro and U.S. dollar on its Euro denominated Senior Notes, Series A due 2023. The notional value of the forward contract at April 1, 2023 was € 117.0 million and expires on December 7, 2023. The foreign currency contract was not designated as a hedge instrument and is marked to market on a monthly basis. As a result, changes in fair value are reported in Foreign exchange (gain) loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contract was valued using market exchange rates by a third party and classified as a Level 2 input under the fair value hierarchy. As of April 1, 2023, the fair values of our derivative financial instrument and their classifications on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: (in thousands) Consolidated Balance Sheet Classification April 1, 2023 Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Interest rate swap agreement: Designated as cash flow hedge Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 3,593 Other long-term assets $ 1,773 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange forward contract Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 7,092 The pre-tax gains recognized on derivative financial instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended April 1, 2023 were as follows: Three Months Ended (in thousands) Classification of Gain Recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations April 1, 2023 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges Interest rate swap agreement Interest expense $ ( 975 ) Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Foreign exchange forward contract Foreign exchange (gain) loss $ ( 819 ) The pre-tax gain recognized on derivative financial instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended April 1, 2023 was as follows: Three Months Ended (in thousands) April 1, 2023 Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges Interest rate swap agreement $ ( 5,366 ) The pre-tax gain of $ 3.6 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings is expected to be recognized during the next twelve months. Mutual Funds The Company has a non-qualified Supplemental Retirement and Savings Plan which provides additional retirement benefits for certain management employees and named executive officers by allowing participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation. The Company maintains accounts for participants through which participants make investment elections. The marketable securities are classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy as they are maintained in mutual funds with readily determinable fair value and recorded in Other long-term assets. 19 Table of Contents There we re no changes during the quarter ended April 1, 2023 to the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values o n a recurring basis. As of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold any non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following table presents assets measured at fair value by classification within the fair value hierarchy as of April 1, 2023: Fair Value Measurements Using (in thousands) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Cash equivalents $ 164,073 $ — $ — $ 164,073 Investments in equity securities 12,715 — — 12,715 Mutual funds 17,642 — — 17,642 Total $ 194,430 $ — $ — $ 194,430 The following table presents assets measured at fair value by classification within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2022: Fair Value Measurements Using (in thousands) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Cash equivalents $ 304,101 $ — $ — $ 304,101 Investments in equity securities 10,653 — — 10,653 Mutual funds 14,094 — — 14,094 Total $ 328,848 $ — $ — $ 328,848 In addition to the methods and assumptions used for the financial instruments recorded at fair value as discussed above, the following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments that are not marked to market on a recurring basis. The Company’s other financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and its long-term debt. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable approximate their fair values. The Company’s revolving and term loan debt facilities' fair values approximate book value at April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as the rates on these borrowings are variable in nature. The carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company’s Euro Senior Notes, Series A and Series B and USD Senior Notes, Series A and Series B, as of April 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows: April 1, 2023 December 31, 2022 (in thousands) Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Euro Senior Notes, Series A due 2023 $ 127,706 $ 125,554 $ 124,716 $ 122,270 Euro Senior Notes, Series B due 2028 103,693 90,411 101,265 87,119 USD Senior Notes, Series B due 2027 100,000 95,299 100,000 93,764 USD Senior Notes, Series A due 2025 50,000 48,700 50,000 48,145 USD Senior Notes, Series B due 2030 125,000 114,593 125,000 112,028 USD Senior Notes, due 2032 100,000 92,406 100,000 90,131 20 Table of Contents 10.

Segment Information The Company and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and sell component, modules and subassemblies to empower the long-term structural themes of sustainability, connectivity and safety. The Company reports its operations by the following segments: Electronics, Transportation, and Industrial. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest and taxes, but does not evaluate the operating segments using discrete balance sheet information. Sales, marketing, and research and development expenses are charged directly into each operating segment. Purchasing, logistics, customer service, finance, information technology, and human resources are shared functions that are allocated back to the three operating segments. The Company does not report inter-segment revenue because the operating segments do not record it. Certain expenses, determined by the CODM to be strategic in nature and not directly related to segments current results, are not allocated but identified as “Other”. Additionally, the Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, or taxes to operating segments. These costs are not allocated to the segments, as management excludes such costs when assessing the performance of the segments. Although the CODM uses operating income (loss) to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole. • Electronics Segment : Consists of one of the broadest product offerings in the industry, including fuses and fuse accessories, positive temperature coefficient (“PTC”) resettable fuses, electromechanical switches and interconnect solutions, polymer electrostatic discharge (“ESD”) suppressors, varistors, reed switch based magnetic sensing, gas 23 Table of Contents discharge tubes; semiconductor products such as discrete transient voltage suppressor (“TVS”) diodes, TVS diode arrays, protection and switching thyristors, silicon and silicon carbide metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (“MOSFETs”) and diodes; and insulated gate bipolar transistors (“IGBT”) technologies. The segment covers a broad range of end markets, including industrial motor drives and power conversion, automotive electronics, electric vehicle and related charging infrastructure, aerospace, power supplies, data centers and telecommunications, medical devices, alternative energy and energy storage, building and home automation, appliances, and mobile electronics. • Transportation Segment: Formerly known as Automotive segment. The term “Transportation” represents a more comprehensive description of the Company’s broad range of products, and the applications and end markets it serves. Consists of a wide range of circuit protection, power control and sensing technologies for global original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), Tier-one suppliers and parts and aftermarket distributors in passenger vehicle, heavy-duty truck, off-road vehicle, material handling, agricultural, construction and other commercial vehicle end markets.
