For the three months ended
March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
Provision for income taxes $ 23,726 $ 7,588
The provision for income taxes consists of (1) current tax expense, which relates primarily to our profitable operations in tax jurisdictions with limited or no net operating loss carryforwards and withholding taxes related to management fees, royalties, and the repatriation of foreign earnings; and (2) deferred tax expense (or benefit), which represents adjustments in book-to-tax basis differences primarily related to (a) book versus tax basis in intangible assets, (b) changes in net operating loss

Table of Contents
carryforwards, and (c) changes in withholding taxes on unremitted earnings. Other items impacting deferred tax expense include changes in tax rates and changes in our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
We recorded a partial valuation allowance against certain interest carryforwards in the U.S. at both December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We are continually evaluating both the positive and negative evidence for this partial valuation allowance. We believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of this deferred tax asset and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability and future utilization of this attribute that we are able to actually achieve.
8. Net Income per Share
Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated by dividing net income by the number of basic and diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 the weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted net income per share were as follows:
For the three months ended
March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
Basic weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding 152,518 157,422
Dilutive effect of stock options 151 473
Dilutive effect of unvested restricted securities 655 735
Diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding 153,324 158,630
Certain potential ordinary shares were excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding because either they would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share or they related to equity awards that were contingently issuable for which the contingency had not been satisfied. These potential ordinary shares were as follows:
For the three months ended
March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022
Anti-dilutive shares excluded 381 4
Contingently issuable shares excluded 1,268 1,002

(1) On February 6, 2023, we prepaid $ 250.0 million of outstanding principal on our Term Loan balance. Accordingly, that portion of the principal balance outstanding on the Term Loan has been presented as current portion of long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. On April 25, 2023, we announced that we intend to pay down the remaining balance on the Term Loan in the second quarter of 2023. Accordingly, the remaining principal balance outstanding on the Term Loan has been presented as current portion of long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023.
Our debt consists of secured credit facilities and various tranches of senior unsecured notes. Refer to Note 14: Debt of our 2022 Annual Report for additional information related to our existing indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2023, we had $ 746.1 million available under our $ 750.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), net of $ 3.9 million of obligations in respect of outstanding letters of credit issued thereunder. Outstanding letters of credit are issued primarily for the benefit of certain operating activities. As of March 31, 2023, no amounts had been drawn against these outstanding letters of credit.
Accrued Interest
Accrued interest associated with our outstanding debt is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accrued interest totaled $ 54.4 million and $ 50.1 million, respectively.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
We are regularly involved in a number of claims and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters, based upon our experience and current information known to us, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.
12. Shareholders' Equity
Cash Dividends
On February 22, 2023, we paid a cash dividend of $ 0.11 per share, or $ 16.8 million in aggregate, to shareholders of record as of February 8, 2023. On April 13, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $ 0.12 per share, payable on May 24, 2023 to shareholders of record as of May 10, 2023.

Treasury Shares
From time to time, our Board of Directors has authorized various share repurchase programs, which may be modified or terminated by the Board at any time. On January 20, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a new $ 500.0 million ordinary share repurchase program (the “January 2022 Program”), which replaced the previous $ 500.0 million program approved in July 2019. We did not repurchase any ordinary shares under this program in the three months ended March 31, 2023. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 1.1 million ordinary shares under the January 2022 Program.

15. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
Elastic M2M
On February 11, 2022, we acquired all of the equity interests of Elastic M2M Inc. ("Elastic M2M") for an aggregate cash purchase price of $ 51.6 million, subject to certain post-closing items. In addition to the aggregate cash purchase price, the previous shareholders of Elastic M2M are entitled to up to $ 30.0 million of additional acquisition-related incentive

compensation, which was pending the completion of certain technical milestones in fiscal year 2022 and achievement of financial targets in fiscal years 2022 and 2023. All technical milestones were completed in fiscal year 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had recognized $ 24.7 million of this acquisition-related incentive compensation. In three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an additional $ 3.3 million of this acquisition-related incentive compensation. This incentive compensation is recorded in restructuring and other charges, net.
Elastic M2M was a privately-held innovator of connected intelligence for operational assets across heavy-duty transport, warehouse, supply chain and logistics, industrial, light-duty passenger car, and a variety of other industry segments. Elastic M2M primarily serves telematics service providers and resellers, enabling them to leverage Elastic M2M’s cloud platform and analytics capabilities to deliver sensor-based operational insights to their end users. This acquisition augments our cloud capabilities critical to delivering actionable sensor-based insights, an increasingly important capability in this fast-growing industry segment. We are integrating Elastic M2M into the Performance Sensing reportable segment.
The allocation of the purchase price related to this acquisition was finalized in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Net working capital, excluding cash $ 35
Goodwill 28,211
Other intangible assets 27,700
Deferred income tax liabilities ( 5,925 )
Fair value of net assets acquired, excluding cash and cash equivalents 50,021
Cash and cash equivalents 1,597
Fair value of net assets acquired $ 51,618
The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition represents future economic benefits expected to arise from synergies from combining operations and the extension of existing customer relationships. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
In connection with the allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we identified certain definite-lived intangible assets. The following table presents the acquired intangible assets, their estimated fair values, and weighted-average lives:
Acquisition Date Fair Value Weighted-Average Lives (years)
Acquired definite-lived intangible assets
Customer relationships $ 17,500 13
Completed technologies 10,200 10
Total definite-lived intangible assets acquired $ 27,700 12
The definite-lived intangible assets were valued using the income approach. We primarily used the relief-from-royalty method to value completed technologies, and we used the multi-period excess earnings method to value customer relationships. These valuation methods incorporate assumptions including expected discounted future net cash flows resulting from either the future estimated after-tax royalty payments avoided as a result of owning the completed technologies or the future earnings related to existing customer relationships.
Dynapower
On July 12, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of DP Acquisition Corp ("Dynapower"), a leader in power conversion systems including inverters, converters, and rectifiers for renewable energy generation, green hydrogen production, electric vehicle charging stations, and microgrid applications, as well as industrial and defense applications, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $ 577.5 million, subject to certain post-closing items. Dynapower also provides aftermarket sales and service to maintain its equipment in the field.
Dynapower is a foundational addition to our Clean Energy Solutions strategy and complements our recent acquisitions of GIGAVAC, Lithium Balance, and Spear. We are integrating Dynapower into our Sensing Solutions reportable segment.

The allocation of purchase price of Dynapower is preliminary and is based on management’s judgments after evaluating several factors, including preliminary valuation assessments of intangible assets. The final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired will be completed when the final valuations are completed. The preliminary goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition represents future economic benefits expected to arise from synergies from combining operations and the extension of existing customer relationships. The goodwill recognized in this acquisition will not be deductible for tax purposes.
In connection with the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we identified certain definite-lived intangible assets. The following table presents the acquired intangible assets, their estimated fair values, and weighted-average lives:

These valuation methods incorporate assumptions including expected discounted future net cash flows resulting from either the future estimated after-tax royalty payments avoided as a result of owning the completed technologies or the future earnings related to existing customer relationships.
Divestiture - Qinex Business
On May 27, 2022, we executed an asset purchase agreement (the "APA") whereby we agreed to sell various assets and liabilities comprising our semiconductor test and thermal business (collectively, the "Qinex Business") to LTI Holdi ngs, Inc. ("LTI") in exchange for consideration of approximately $ 219.0 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. Concurrent with the execution of the APA, the parties entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement ("CMA") and a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"), each for nominal consideration.
The CMA commenced at closing of the transaction ("Closing") and had a term of either six or nine months , depending on the manufacturing site. LTI also had the option of extending each contract for an additional three months . The period from Closing to the end of the CMA term (including extensions, if any) is referred to as the "Transition Period." The terms of the CMA required that we provide manufacturing and distribution services for the Transition Period. The TSA commenced at Closing and had a term that varied depending on the nature of the support services, ranging from one month to the entirety of the Transition Period. The terms of the TSA required that we provide various forms of commercial, operational, and back-office support to LTI. As of March 31, 2023, the Transition Period has ended.
Closing occurred in July 2022, at which time assets of approximately $ 70 million (including allocated goodwill of $ 45 million) and liabilities of approximately $ 2 million transferred to LTI. Transferred assets and liabilities excluded inventories and accounts payable, which transferred to LTI at the end of the Transition Peri od. We received cash consideration of

$ 198.8 million at Closing and recognized a pre-tax gain of $ 135.1 million. Cash consideration received at Closing excluded amounts held in escrow until various milestones were met through the Transition Period.
The Qinex Business manufactures semiconductor burn-in test sockets and thermal control solutions and was formed through the combination of Sensata’s semiconductor interconnect business with Wells-CTI in 2012. The Qinex Business was included in our Sensing Solutions segment (and Industrial Solutions reporting unit). We allocated goodwill to the Qinex Business based on its fair value relative to the total fair value of the Industrial Solutions reporting unit.
16. Segment Reporting
We present financial information for two reportable segments, Performance Sensing and Sensing Solutions. The Performance Sensing reportable segment consists of two operating segments, Automotive and HVOR, which meet the criteria for aggregation in FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting . The Sensing Solutions reportable segment is also an operating segment.
Our operating segments are businesses that we manage as components of an enterprise, for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
An operating segment’s performance is primarily evaluated based on segment operating income, which excludes amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, net, certain costs associated with our strategic megatrend initiatives, and certain corporate costs or credits not associated with the operations of the segment, including share-based compensation expense and a portion of depreciation expense associated with assets recognized in connection with acquisitions. Corporate and other costs excluded from an operating (and reportable) segment’s performance are separately stated below and also include costs that are related to functional areas such as finance, information technology, legal, and human resources. We believe that segment operating income, as defined above, is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of our segments. However, this measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accounting policies of each of our operating and reportable segments are materially consistent with those described in Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies of the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report.
The following table presents net revenue and segment operating income for our reportable segments and other operating results not allocated to our reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:
