ONTO INNOVATION INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Onto Innovation Inc. (the “Company,” “Onto Innovation,” “we,” “our” or “us”) and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to current-period presentation. The interim results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2026. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 3, 2026 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K.
On February 18, 2026, the Board of Directors changed the Company’s fiscal year-end from a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31 to a December 31 fiscal year-end. The Company made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and will not adjust operating results for prior periods. Additionally, the Company has adopted calendar quarter fiscal period ends commencing with the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The change affects the prior year comparability of the Company’s fiscal quarters in 2025 and will result in shifts in the quarterly periods, which is not expected to have a material impact on our quarterly financial results. Our fiscal year ended January 3, 2026 was a 53-week fiscal year. The first quarter of the fiscal year ended January 3, 2026 ended on March 29, 2025. Throughout this document, the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 represents the quarterly period that commenced on January 4, 2026, the first day of our fiscal year, and ended on March 31, 2026. The three-month period ended March 29, 2025 represents the quarterly period that commenced on December 29, 2024 and ended on March 29, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates made by management include excess and obsolete inventory, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, recoverability and useful lives of property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, recoverability of goodwill, recoverability of deferred tax assets, allowance for credit losses, liabilities for product warranty, share-based payments and liabilities for tax uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors which the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company may engage third-party valuation specialists to assist with estimates related to the valuation of financial instruments, assets and stock awards associated with various contractual arrangements. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and significant judgment. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or circumstances and such differences could be material.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted or Effective
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” which simplifies the estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance allows all entities to use a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The
6
Company adopted this ASU during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with no material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Updates Not Yet Effective
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements,” to clarify and reorganize U.S. GAAP interim reporting guidance to improve navigability, applicability, and consistency without changing the fundamental nature or volume of required interim disclosures. This amendment clarifies when ASC 270 is applicable, establishes a disclosure principle requiring disclosure of material events or changes occurring since the most recent annual reporting period, and consolidates into ASC Topic 270 a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required by other Codification Topics. The amendment also clarifies the form and content of interim financial statements, including guidance for condensed interim reporting. The amendment is effective for the Company for interim periods in 2028, with early adoption permitted. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities,” to establish specific guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received to reduce diversity and increase consistency amongst business entities in accounting for such grants. This amendment amends ASC Topic 832 to require that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized as income until it is probable that a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received, with any grant related to an asset to be purchased, constructed or acquired such as long-lived assets or inventory to be recognized on the balance sheet as either deferred income or as an adjustment to the cost basis of the related asset, or the cost accumulation approach, as such costs are incurred. Any grant income or deferred income shall be recognized in earnings on a systematic and rational basis over the periods in which a business entity recognizes as expenses the costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, whereas any grants accounted for using the cost accumulation approach will not have a direct subsequent recognition in earnings, but rather reduced depreciation or amortization in accounting for the related asset. Entities are also required to present grants recognized in earnings separately under other income or deducted from the related expense, and provide disclosures of the nature of the government grant received, the accounting policies used to account for the grant, and the significant terms and conditions of the grant. The amendment is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2029, with early adoption and multiple transition methods permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements,” to amend certain aspects of its hedge accounting guidance to better reflect an entity’s risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance expands the hedged risks permitted to be aggregated in a group of individual forecasted transactions and increases the variable price components eligible to be designated as the hedged risk in the forecasted purchase or sale of nonfinancial assets. For public business entities, the provisions of ASU 2025-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software,” which removes all references to software development stages and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The ASU may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or through a modified transition approach with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40),” which requires additional disclosure of certain costs and expenses, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, selling expense and depreciation expense within the notes to financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 2. Acquisitions
On November 17, 2025 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Semilab USA LLC (“Semilab USA”), pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of June 27, 2025, by and among the Company, Semilab International Zrt. (the “Seller”), Semilab Zrt. and Semilab USA, as amended by the Amendment to Equity Purchase Agreement, dated October 9, 2025.

The Company accounted for the acquisition of Semilab USA in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values. The Company determined the estimated fair values with the assistance of valuations performed by a third-party specialist, discounted cash flow analysis, and estimates made by management.
The acquisition strengthens the Company’s capabilities in inline wafer contamination monitoring, materials characterization, and unique surface charge metrology. The goodwill recognized reflects the anticipated benefits from expanding the Company’s product portfolio and its growth opportunities in both new and existing markets. As the purchase price exceeded the fair value of Semilab USA’s identifiable net assets, goodwill was recorded in connection with the transaction. The Company does not expect the goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.
A portion of the overall purchase price was allocated to acquired intangible assets. Amortization expense associated with acquired intangible assets is not deductible for tax purposes. Therefore, a deferred tax liability of $
The inventory fair value step‑up is non‑recurring and is recognized as an increase to cost of revenue as the related inventory is sold. For the year ended January 3, 2026, the Company recognized $

The developed technology intangible assets were valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach, which estimates value based on the royalty a market participant would pay to license the technology. Under this approach, the after‑tax royalty savings attributable to ownership represent the economic benefit of the asset. The key assumptions used in the valuation included the estimated royalty rate, projected revenue attributable to the developed technology, the expected useful life of the asset, and a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the projected cash flows. The assets are amortized on a straight‑line basis over their estimated
The customer relationships and backlog intangible assets were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach, which isolates the net cash flows attributable to each asset and discounts them to present value. Significant assumptions included projected customer revenue and attrition rates, estimated operating margins, contributory asset charges, the expected useful life of the asset, and a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the asset‑specific cash flows. The customer relationship asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its
There were no significant contingencies assumed as part of the acquisition.
The purchase price allocation for the Semilab USA acquisition is preliminary and reflects management’s current estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with ASC 805. The Company is still evaluating certain items within the measurement period, including the final determination of the working capital adjustment, which remains subject to post‑closing review procedures outlined in the Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the provisional amounts recognized for the acquired net assets are subject to change during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the Acquisition Date). Any such revisions or changes may be material.
From the Acquisition Date through January 3, 2026, Semilab USA contributed $

Items classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s marketable securities, comprised of Level 2 available-for-sale debt securities, are valued using observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The foreign currency forward contracts are primarily measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers.
There were no impairments of the Company’s assets measured and carried at fair value during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 29, 2025. There were no changes in valuation techniques during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 29, 2025.

NOTE 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company, when it considers it to be appropriate, enters into forward contracts to hedge the economic exposure arising from foreign currency denominated transactions. These contracts are typically denominated in euro, Chinese renminbi, Japanese yen, Korean won, Singapore dollars and Taiwanese dollars. Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and therefore, the change in fair value is recorded in “Other (expense) income, net,” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company records its forward contracts at fair value in either “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets consist of amounts we have not invoiced but have completed the related performance obligation. These amounts generally arise from variances between the contractual payment terms and the transaction price assigned to the open performance obligations (e.g., we have recognized revenue in an amount greater than the amount that is billable under the contract). The contract assets amounts are recorded in “Accounts receivable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2026 the Company had
The Company records contract liabilities when the customer has been billed in advance of the Company completing its performance obligations primarily with respect to liabilities related to service contracts and installation. For contracts that have a duration of one year or less, these amounts are recorded as “Deferred revenue” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For contracts with a duration longer than one year, deferred revenue is recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company carried a long-term deferred revenue balance of $

This determination is based on the management approach which designates internal information regularly available to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of determination of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purpose of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CODM uses net income as the measure of profit or loss to allocate resources and assess performance. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
The table below presents the Company’s consolidated operating results including significant segment expenses:

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Certain of these uncertainties are discussed in the 2025 Form 10-K in the Items entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates from the information presented in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the 2025 Form 10-K.
For more information, please see our critical accounting estimates as previously disclosed in the 2025 Form 10-K and recent accounting pronouncements discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Executive Summary
We are a worldwide leader in the design, development, manufacture and support of process control tools that perform macro-defect inspection and metrology, lithography systems, and process control analytical software used by semiconductor and advanced packaging device manufacturers. We deliver comprehensive solutions throughout the semiconductor fabrication process with our families of proprietary products that provide critical yield-enhancing information, enabling microelectronic device manufacturers to drive down costs and time to market of their devices. We provide process and yield management solutions
18
used in both wafer processing facilities, often referred to as “front-end” manufacturing, and in device packaging and test facilities, commonly referred to as “back-end” manufacturing. Our advanced process control software portfolio includes powerful solutions for standalone tools, groups of tools, or factory-wide suites to enhance productivity and achieve significant cost savings.
Our principal market is semiconductor capital equipment. Semiconductors packaged as ICs, or “chips,” are used in consumer electronics, server and enterprise systems, mobile computing (including smart phones and tablets), data storage devices, and embedded automotive and control systems. Our core focus is the measurement and control of the structure, composition, and geometry of semiconductor devices as they are fabricated on silicon wafers to improve device performance and manufacturing yields.
Our products and services are used by our customers who manufacture many types of ICs for a multitude of applications, each having unique manufacturing challenges. This includes ICs to enable information processing and management (logic ICs), memory storage (NAND, 3D-NAND, NOR, and DRAM), analog devices (e.g., Wi-Fi and 5G radio ICs, power devices), MEMS sensor devices (accelerometers, pressure sensors, microphones), image sensors, and other end markets including components for AI, hard disk drives, LEDs, and power management.
The semiconductor and electronics industries have also been characterized by constant technological innovation. We believe that, over the long term, our customers will continue to invest in advanced technologies and new materials to enable smaller design rules and higher density applications that fuel demand for process control equipment.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance increased to $654.2 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $639.6 million at January 3, 2026. This increase was primarily the result of $26.3 million of cash generated from operating activities partially offset by capital expenditures of $3.6 million and $6.7 million for tax payments related to net share settlement of employee stock-based compensation plans. Employee headcount at March 31, 2026 was approximately 1,790.
On April 20, 2026, we entered into a definitive share purchase agreement (the “Transaction”) with Atom Investment, L.P., an affiliate of The Carlyle Group, to acquire 27% of the outstanding common stock of Rigaku Holdings Corporation (“Rigaku”) for approximately $710 million. The Transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026. Also on April 20, 2026, we entered into a commitment letter with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, which provides for a senior secured 364-day $500 million bridge term loan credit facility. The bridge term loan is intended to be available to the Company to finance, together with other sources of funds, the Transaction and related fees and expenses on or prior to the closing of the Transaction.

Results of Operations for the Three-Months ended March 31, 2026 and March 29, 2025
Revenue. Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of our systems, software licensing, services and spare parts. Our revenue of $291.9 million increased 9.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025, for which revenue totaled $266.6 million.

Total systems and software revenue increased $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025. The increase was attributable to Semilab USA revenues of $24.0 million, as well as higher sales to advanced packaging customers, partially offset by a decline in sales to advanced node customers. The increase in total parts and services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025, was primarily due to increased spending by our customers on system upgrades and repairs of existing systems.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit has been and will likely continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including manufacturing efficiencies, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, pricing by competitors or suppliers, new product introductions, production volume, customization and reconfiguration of systems, international and domestic sales mix, system and software product mix and parts and service margins.

The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025 was primarily due to higher restructuring and other expenses for the write down of excess and obsolete inventory in the 2026 period. In addition, $6.1 million of inventory step-up amortization attributed to Semilab USA was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Operating Expenses.
Our operating expenses consist of:
20
Total other income, net. Total other income, net was $4.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $8.5 million for the three-month period ended March 29, 2025. The decrease in total other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2025, was attributable to interest on lower cash and marketable securities balances in the 2026 period following the use of cash for the acquisition of Semilab USA in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by lower foreign currency exchange losses recognized in the 2026 period.
Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax provision of $4.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $7.6 million for the three-month period ended March 29, 2025. Our effective tax rate of 11.3% and 10.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and the three-month period ended March 29, 2025, respectively, differed from the statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to the tax benefit associated with the Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) deductions, federal research and development tax credits, and excess tax benefits associated with equity compensation.
Our future effective income tax rate depends on various factors, such as possible changes in tax legislation, the geographic composition of our pre-tax income, the amount of our pre-tax income as business activities fluctuate, non-deductible expenses incurred in connection with business combinations, and research and development tax credits as a percentage of aggregate pre-tax income.
We currently have a partial valuation allowance recorded for certain foreign and state loss and credit carryforwards where the realizability of such deferred tax assets is substantially in doubt. Each quarter we assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets primarily relating to state research and development credits. We consider available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. As a result of our analysis, we concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of our net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, we continue to provide a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets. We continue to monitor available evidence and may reverse some or all of the valuation allowance in future periods, if appropriate.
21
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has released guidance covering various topics, including country-by-country reporting, definitional changes to permanent establishment and Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”), an initiative that aims to standardize and modernize global tax policy. The guidance also established a global minimum tax of 15%. This guidance has been implemented by several jurisdictions, including jurisdictions in which we operate, and many other jurisdictions are in the process of implementing it. Depending on the final form of legislation ultimately enacted, there may be significant consequences for us due to our international business activities, including, but not limited to, an increase in our tax uncertainty and adverse effects on our provision for income taxes. On January 5, 2026, the OECD announced that the Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting agreed to a new package of administrative guidance under the Pillar Two global minimum tax rules. The new administrative guidance allows for U.S. multinationals to provide for a Side-by-Side Safe Harbor that would exclude U.S.-parented multinational groups from the global minimum tax rule’s Income Inclusion Rule and Undertaxed Profits Rule on the grounds that the existing U.S. law is sufficiently robust in its taxation of domestic and foreign profits. Although we will continue to monitor U.S. and international legislative developments in this area, we cannot predict whether such protective measures or legislation will be adopted by non-U.S. countries, if any, and whether the U.S. would have any responsive measures.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Included in this legislation are provisions that allow for the immediate expensing of domestic U.S. research and development expenses, immediate expensing of certain capital expenditures, and other changes to the U.S. taxation of profits derived from foreign operations. The impact of the Act has been accounted for in the provision for taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Operating Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $26.3 million. The net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 resulted primarily from net income, adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash operating charges, of $67.9 million. Significant non-cash operating charges included depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and provision for inventory valuation. Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2026 decreased compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2025, primarily due to timing of accounts receivable payments and higher inventory levels due to revenue growth.
Investing Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $112.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities included purchases of
22
marketable securities of $179.5 million and capital expenditures of $3.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from maturities and sales of marketable securities of $70.5 million.
From time to time, we evaluate whether to acquire new or complementary businesses, products or technologies. We may fund all of or a portion of the price of these investments or acquisitions in cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock.
Financing Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $6.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, financing activities used cash for tax payments related to shares withheld to satisfy employee tax obligations in connection with the vesting of awards under share-based compensation plans.
In February 2024, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization, which allows the Company to repurchase up to $200 million worth of shares of its common stock. Repurchases may be made through both public market and private transactions from time to time. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased no shares of common stock under this repurchase authorization. As of March 31, 2026, there was $99.9 million available for future share repurchases under this share repurchase authorization.
The Company had a credit agreement with a bank that provides for a variable-rate line of credit which was secured by the marketable securities the Company has with the bank. At January 3, 2026 the Company was permitted to borrow up to 70.0% of the value of eligible securities held at the time the line of credit would be accessed, up to a maximum of $100.0 million. The available line of credit as of January 3, 2026 was $100.0 million with an available interest rate of 4.3%. The Company terminated this line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and did not utilize the line of credit while it was active.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and amount of our revenue and our investment decisions, which will affect our ability to generate additional cash. We expect that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, and other cash needs for the next 12 months following the filing of this Form 10-Q. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations and financing activities is insufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements, we may seek additional funding through bank borrowings, sales of securities or other means. A reduction in or volatility with respect to our stock price or a general market downturn could materially impact our ability to sell securities on favorable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes in market risk from the information presented in Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in the 2025 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. These controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, we have recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures.
We performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to assess the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2026. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a description of our material pending legal proceedings refer to the information set forth under “Legal Matters” of Note 7, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K, except as set forth below. We may disclose additional changes to risk factors or additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Our ability to complete our acquisition of Rigaku shares is subject to various closing conditions, including the receipt of consents and approvals from governmental authorities, which may impose conditions that could adversely affect us or cause the transaction not to be completed; and if we are able to complete the transaction, we may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits.
On April 20, 2026, we entered into a share purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) to acquire 27% of the outstanding common stock of Rigaku from Atom Investments, L.P., an affiliate of The Carlyle Group (Carlyle). The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals, as specified in the Purchase Agreement. No assurance can be given that the required conditions to closing will be satisfied, and, even if all required approvals are obtained and the required conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such approvals. Any delay in completing the acquisition could cause the company not to realize, or to be delayed in realizing, some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve if the acquisition is successfully completed within its expected time frame. Even if the transaction closes timely, we also cannot be sure that we will recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction. As a minority shareholder in Rigaku, we will not be able to direct Rigaku’s management or cause dividends or distributions to be made to us. The value of our Rigaku shares could also decline for a number of reasons, including reasons that are outside of our control, which could adversely affect our financial position. Our Rigaku shares are also subject to certain restrictions on transfer, which could make it difficult for us to sell our shares. If we are unable to successfully maximize the benefits of our investment in and collaboration with Rigaku, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In February 2024, the Onto Innovation Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase authorization, which allows the Company to repurchase up to $200 million worth of shares of its common stock. There were no shares of common stock repurchased under this authorization during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There was $99.9 million available for future share repurchases under this share repurchase authorization at March 31, 2026. For further information, see Note 13, “Share Repurchase Authorization,” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to our share repurchase program, we withhold common stock shares associated with net share settlements to cover tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards under the Company’s equity incentive program.
