VONTIER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Business
Vontier Corporation (“Vontier” or the “Company”) is a global industrial technology company uniting productivity, automation and multi-energy technologies to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving, more connected mobility ecosystem. The Company operates through three reportable segments which align to the Company’s three operating segments: (i) Mobility Technologies, which provides digitally enabled equipment and solutions to support efficient operations across the mobility ecosystem, including point-of-sale and payment systems, workflow automation solutions, telematics, data analytics, software platform for electric vehicle charging networks and integrated solutions for alternative fuel dispensing; (ii) Repair Solutions, which manufactures and distributes aftermarket vehicle repair tools, toolboxes, automotive diagnostic equipment and software through a network of mobile franchisees; and (iii) Environmental & Fueling Solutions, which provides environmental and fueling hardware and software, and aftermarket solutions for global fueling infrastructure. The Company’s Coats business, which was divested during January 2024, is presented in Other for periods prior to the divestiture.
Basis of Presentation and Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements present the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are unaudited.
The interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements include the accounts of Vontier and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements also reflect the impact of noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests do not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, therefore, net earnings and net earnings per share attributable to noncontrolling interests are not presented separately in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests have been reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and were insignificant in all periods presented.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The accompanying interim Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in Net earnings, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income within equity. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. Net foreign currency transaction gains or losses were not material in any of the periods presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. Prospective application is required, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2023-09 will have 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): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosure of certain expense categories that are included within relevant income statement expense captions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2027, and for its interim financial statements beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31, 2028, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. FINANCING AND TRADE RECEIVABLES
Financing receivables are primarily comprised of commercial purchase security agreements originated between the Company’s franchisees and technicians or independent shop owners that are assumed by the Company (“PSAs”) and commercial loans to the Company’s franchisees (“Franchisee Notes”) in the Repair Solutions segment. The Company also has financing receivables in its Mobility Technologies and Environmental & Fueling Solutions segments which totaled $15.3 million and $14.4 million as of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following disclosures relate to the financing receivables in the Repair Solutions segment.
Repair Solutions Financing Receivables
PSAs are installment sales contracts originated between the franchisee and technicians or independent shop owners which enable these customers to purchase tools and equipment on an extended-term payment plan. PSA payment terms are generally up to five years . Upon origination, the Company assumes the PSA by crediting the franchisee’s trade accounts receivable. As a result, originations of PSAs are non-cash transactions. The Company records PSAs at amortized cost.
Franchisee Notes have payment terms of up to 10 years and include financing to fund business startup costs including: (i) installment loans to franchisees used generally to finance inventory, equipment, and franchise fees; and (ii) lines of credit to finance working capital, including additional purchases of inventory.
Financing receivables are generally secured by the underlying tools and equipment financed.
Revenues associated with the Company’s interest income related to financing receivables are recognized to approximate a constant effective yield over the contract term. Accrued interest is included in Accounts receivable, less allowance for credit losses on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and was insignificant as of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Product sales to franchisees and the related financing income is included in Cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
The components of financing receivables with payments due in less than twelve months that are presented in Accounts receivable, less allowance for credit losses on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets were as follows:

As of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the net unamortized discount on our financing receivables was $17.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively.
Credit score and distributor tenure are the primary indicators of credit quality for the Company’s financing receivables. The amortized cost basis and current period gross write-offs of PSAs and Franchisee Notes by origination year as of and for the three months ended March 28, 2025, is as follows:

Past Due
PSAs are considered past due when a contractual payment has not been made. If a customer is making payments on its account, interest will continue to accrue. The table below sets forth the aging of the Company’s PSA balances as of:
| ($ in millions) | 30-59 days past due | 60-90 days past due | Greater than 90 days past due | Total past due | Total not considered past due | Total | Greater than 90 days past due and accruing interest | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 28, 2025 | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Franchisee Notes are considered past due when payments have not been made for 21 days after the due date. Past due Franchisee Notes (where the franchisee had not yet separated) were insignificant as of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Uncollectable Status
PSAs are deemed uncollectable and written off when they are both contractually delinquent and no payment has been received for 180 days.
Franchisee Notes are deemed uncollectable and written off after a distributor separates and no payments have been received for one year .
The Company stops accruing interest and other fees associated with financing receivables when (i) a customer is placed in uncollectable status and repossession efforts have begun; (ii) upon receipt of notification of bankruptcy; (iii) upon notification of the death of a customer; or (iv) other instances in which management concludes collectability is not reasonably assured.
Allowance for Credit Losses Related to Financing Receivables
The Company calculates the allowance for credit losses considering several factors, including the aging of its financing receivables, historical credit loss and portfolio delinquency experience and current economic conditions. The Company also evaluates financing receivables with identified exposures, such as customer defaults, bankruptcy or other events that make it unlikely it will recover the amounts owed to it. In calculating such reserves, the Company evaluates expected cash flows, including estimated proceeds from disposition of collateral, and calculates an estimate of the potential loss and the probability of loss. When a loss is considered probable on an individual financing receivable, a specific reserve is recorded.

11
Credit Facilities
Amendments
During February 2025, the Company executed an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which extended the maturity date to February 2030 and removed the SOFR adjustment.
During February 2025, the Company executed an amendment to the Three-Year Term Loans originally due 2025 to extend the maturity date to February 2028 (“Three-Year Term Loans Due 2028”). As part of the amendment, the credit spread adjustment was removed and the ratings-based margin was reduced by 12.5 basis points.
The Company evaluated these amendments on a lender-by-lender basis and determined that certain lenders should be accounted for as a debt extinguishment and certain lenders should be accounted for as a debt modification. The Company recognized an immaterial loss on debt extinguishment related to the amendments during the three months ended March 28, 2025. For the portion of the Term Loans considered to be extinguished and re-borrowed, the Company has presented offsetting constructive cash inflows and outflows of $83.3
Revolving Credit Facility
The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus a ratings-based margin which was 120.0 basis points as of March 28, 2025. As of March 28, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding and $750.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Three-Year Term Loans Due 2028 (“Term Loans”), which mature on February 12, 2028, bear interest at a variable rate equal to SOFR plus a ratings-based margin which was 112.5 basis points as of March 28, 2025. The interest rate was 5.45 % per annum as of March 28, 2025. There was no material difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the debt outstanding as of March 28, 2025.
Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company’s senior unsecured notes (collectively, the “Registered Notes”) consist of the following:
•$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2026 bearing interest at the rate of 1.800 % per year;
•$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2028 bearing interest at the rate of 2.400 % per year; and
•$600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2031 bearing interest at the rate of 2.950 % per year.
The estimated fair value of the Registered Notes was $1.5 billion as of March 28, 2025. The fair value of the Registered Notes was determined based upon Level 2 inputs including indicative prices based upon observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of the Registered Notes may be attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or the Company’s credit ratings subsequent to the incurrence of the borrowing.
Short-term Borrowings
As of March 28, 2025, certain of the Company’s businesses were in a cash overdraft position, and such overdrafts are included in Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Additionally, the Company has other short-term borrowing arrangements with various banks to facilitate short-term cash flow requirements in certain countries also included in Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Given the nature of the short-term borrowings, the carrying value approximates fair value as of March 28, 2025.

NOTE 6. SALES
Contract Assets
In certain circumstances, contract assets are recorded which include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is subject to contractual performance obligations rather than subject only to the passage of time. Contract assets were $6.4 million and $8.0 million as of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Contract Costs
The Company incurs direct incremental costs to obtain and fulfill certain contracts, typically costs associated with assets used by our customers in certain sales arrangements and sales-related commissions. As of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $104.0 million and $101.5 million, respectively, in revenue-related capitalized contract costs primarily related to assets used by the Company’s customers in certain software contracts, which are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, for the current portion, and Other assets, for the noncurrent portion, in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Contract Liabilities
The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue generally related to customer deposits, post contract support (“PCS”) and extended warranty sales. In these arrangements, the Company generally receives up-front payment and recognizes revenue over the support term of the contracts where applicable. Deferred revenue is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when revenue is expected to be recognized and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

The Company’s contract liabilities consisted of the following:

| Deferred revenue, current | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Deferred revenue, noncurrent | |||||||||||
| Total contract liabilities | $ | $ | |||||||||
During the three months ended March 28, 2025, the Company recognized $56.2 million of revenue related to the Company’s contract liabilities at December 31, 2024. The change in contract liabilities from December 31, 2024 to March 28, 2025 was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and sales of PCS and extended warranty services.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations which are unsatisfied as of the end of the period. The Company has excluded performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less and amounts for variable consideration allocated to wholly-unsatisfied performance obligations. Remaining performance obligations as of March 28, 2025 were $456.4 million, the majority of which are related to software-as-a-service and extended warranty and service contracts. The Company expects approximately 65 percent of the remaining performance obligations will be fulfilled within the next two years , 80 percent within the next three years , and 85 percent within four years .
Disaggregation of Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by sales of products and services and geographic location for each of the Company’s reportable segments, as it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. In the Company’s disaggregation of revenue by geographic location, high growth markets refers to developing markets of the world experiencing extended periods of accelerated growth in gross domestic product and infrastructure, which include Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific (with the exception of Japan and Australia).

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2025 was 20.9 % as compared to 16.0 % for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2025 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year was due to favorable impacts related to business reorganizations and divestitures during the three months ended March 29, 2024.
NOTE 8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The President and CEO of Vontier has been identified as the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Segment operating profit is used as a performance metric by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment operating profit represents total segment sales less operating costs attributable to the segment, which does not include unallocated corporate costs and other operating costs not allocated to the reportable segments as part of the CODM’s assessment of reportable segment operating performance, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other related charges and other unallocated income or expense not indicative of the segment’s core operating performance. Corporate costs represent general and administrative expenses for the Company’s corporate functions, including transaction and deal-related costs.
As part of the CODM’s assessment of the Repair Solutions segment, a capital charge calculated based on the segment’s average gross outstanding financing receivables portfolio during the period and an estimated weighted average cost of capital is assessed by Corporate (the “Repair Solutions Capital Charge”).
The CODM does not regularly review any expenses on a segment basis. The CODM is regularly provided with actual and forecasted bookings and sales, and the related core growth for each, and segment operating profit and the related margin on a segment basis to assess segment performance. The CODM also reviews prior forecast to current forecast variances for bookings, sales and segment operating profit as part of the assessment of segment performance.
Intersegment sales primarily result from solutions developed by the Mobility Technologies segment that are integrated into products sold by the Environmental & Fueling Solutions segment. Intersegment sales are recorded at cost plus a margin which is intended to reflect the contribution made by the Mobility Technologies segment. Segment operating profit includes the operating profit from intersegment sales.
The Company’s CODM does not review any information regarding total assets on a segment basis.

NOTE 9. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES
Warranty
Estimated warranty costs are generally accrued at the time of sale as a component of Cost of sales on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. In general, manufactured products are warrantied against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly and appropriately maintained. Warranty period terms depend on the nature of the product and range from 90 days up to the life of the product. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and in certain instances, estimated property damage. The accrued warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.
The following is a rollforward of the accrued warranty liability:

Litigation and Other Contingencies
The Company is involved in legal proceedings from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcome of such matters is uncertain, management believes that these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of future operations of the Company.
In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company records a liability in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for loss contingencies when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss does not meet the known or probable level but is reasonably possible and a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed.

Guarantees
As of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had guarantees consisting primarily of outstanding standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, and performance and bid bonds of approximately $80.3 million and $81.4 million, respectively. These guarantees have been provided in connection with certain arrangements with vendors, customers, financing counterparties, and governmental entities to secure the Company’s obligations and/or performance requirements related to specific transactions.
NOTE 10. CAPITAL STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting weighted average common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares under stock-based compensation plans, determined using the treasury-stock method, except where the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive impact.

Share Repurchase Program
On May 24, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a replenishment of the Company’s previously approved share repurchase program announced in May 2021, bringing the total amount authorized for future share repurchases to $500.0 million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may purchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or by combinations of such methods, any of which may use prearranged trading plans that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations and other market and economic conditions. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and has no expiration date.
During the three months ended March 28, 2025, the Company repurchased 1.5 million of the Company’s shares through open market transactions for $55.0 million, at an average price per share of $36.23 .

•Changes in our effective tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities or assessments could affect our profitability. In addition, audits by tax authorities could result in additional payments for prior periods.
See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding reasons that actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW
General
Vontier is a global industrial technology company uniting productivity, automation and multi-energy technologies to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving, more connected mobility ecosystem. Leveraging leading market positions, decades of domain expertise and unparalleled portfolio breadth, Vontier enables the way the world moves, delivering smart, safe and sustainable solutions to our customers and the planet. Vontier has a culture of continuous improvement and innovation built upon the foundation of the Vontier Business System and embraced by colleagues worldwide.
We operate through three reportable segments which align to our three operating segments: (i) Mobility Technologies, which provides digitally enabled equipment and solutions to support efficient operations across the mobility ecosystem, including point-of-sale and payment systems, workflow automation solutions, telematics, data analytics, software platform for electric vehicle charging networks and integrated solutions for alternative fuel dispensing; (ii) Repair Solutions, which manufactures and distributes aftermarket vehicle repair tools, toolboxes, automotive diagnostic equipment and software through a network of mobile franchisees; and (iii) Environmental & Fueling Solutions, which provides environmental and fueling hardware and software, and aftermarket solutions for global fueling infrastructure. Our Coats business, which was divested during January 2024, is presented in Other for periods prior to the divestiture.
21
Outlook
We expect core sales to increase on a year-over-year basis in 2025. Our outlook is subject to various assumptions and risks, including but not limited to the impact of changes in United States and international trade policies, other changes in governmental policies or regulations, the resilience and durability of the economies of the United States and other critical regions, the condition of global supply chains, including the availability of electronic components, the impact of international conflicts, including Russia-Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East and market conditions in key end product segments. Additional uncertainties are identified in “Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements” above and in “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We continue to monitor the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions which may impact our business, including monetary and fiscal policies, changes in the banking system and investment and taxation policy initiatives being considered in the United States and by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. We also continue to monitor the Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflicts in the Middle East and the impact on our business and operations. As of the filing date of this report, we do not believe they are material.
During April 2025, the United States announced a new baseline tariff of 10%, plus an additional country-specific tariff, on all imports into the United States. In response, certain countries announced reciprocal tariffs on imports from the United States. While certain of these tariffs have been temporarily paused, the United States and China have maintained reciprocal tariffs on imports between the respective countries. We import inventory into the United States from a number of countries, and as such, if tariffs remain in effect for a prolonged period of time, we expect our cost to import inventory into the United States to increase. We continue to diversify our supply chain to reduce our exposure to tariffs on imports into the United States, particularly from high-tariff countries such as China. In addition, certain of our products manufactured in the United States are exported internationally and are subject to reciprocal tariffs. If we are unable to effectively mitigate the financial impact of tariffs, or if tariffs lead to other impacts, including but not limited to a decrease in demand for our products, it would have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The increase in core sales was due to solid demand for our convenience retail payment and enterprise productivity solutions, partially offset by lower demand for our car wash solutions.
Repair Solutions

Total sales and core sales within our Repair Solutions segment decreased 16.1% and 15.9%, respectively, during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024, due to a decrease in volume from a shift in the timing of the annual Matco Expo event, which was held during the first fiscal quarter of 2024, but will be held during the second fiscal quarter of 2025, and macroeconomic impacts on service technicians’ discretionary spending.

The increase in core sales was due to growth in environmental solutions and service sales.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, excluding amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, increased $7.1 million, or 1.8%, for the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024, and as a percentage of sales, increased 190 basis points during the same period, due to a $29.9 million increase in the Mobility Technologies segment from core sales growth as discussed above, partially offset by a $13.2 million decrease in the Repair Solutions segment due to a shift in the timing of the annual Matco Expo event.
Operating Costs and Other Expenses
SG&A Expenses
SG&A expenses decreased $5.1 million, or 3.1%, during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024, and as a percentage of sales, decreased 30 basis points during the same period, due to savings from focus prioritization process (“FPP”) initiatives, restructuring activities and other cost optimization.
R&D Expenses
R&D expenses decreased $4.3 million, or 9.7%, during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024, due to savings from FPP initiatives. R&D expenses as a percentage of sales decreased 50 basis points during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024.
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets decreased $0.4 million, or 2.0%, during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024 and as a percentage of sales, was flat during the same periods.

Operating profit decreased $12.0 million, or 8.4%, during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024, and operating profit margins decreased 120 basis points during the same period.
Segment operating profit is used as a performance metric by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Segment operating profit represents total segment sales less operating costs attributable to the segment, which does not include unallocated corporate costs and other operating costs not allocated to the reportable segments as part of the CODM’s assessment of reportable segment operating performance, including amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other related charges and other unallocated income or expense not indicative of the segment’s core operating performance. As part of the CODM’s assessment of the Repair Solutions segment, a capital charge calculated based on the segment’s average gross outstanding financing receivables portfolio during the period and an estimated weighted average cost of capital is assessed by Corporate (the “Repair Solutions Capital Charge”). Refer to Note 8. Segment Information to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Core Sales
We define core sales as total sales excluding (i) sales from acquired and certain divested businesses; (ii) the impact of currency translation; and (iii) certain other items.
•References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested or exited businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations.
•The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales, including foreign operations, (excluding sales from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.
•The portion of sales attributable to other items is calculated as the impact of those items which are not directly correlated to core sales which do not have an impact on the current or comparable period.
Core sales should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, total sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and certain divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation and certain other items from core sales because these items are either not under management’s control or relate to items not directly correlated to core sales. Management believes the exclusion of these items from core sales may facilitate assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance.
INTEREST COSTS
Interest expense, net was $15.1 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to $18.9 million for the comparable period in 2024, a decrease of $3.8 million, driven by a decrease in our outstanding debt obligations and an increase in interest income between periods.
For a discussion of our outstanding indebtedness, refer to Note 4. Financing to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2025 was 20.9% as compared to 16.0% for the three months ended March 29, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2025 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year was due to favorable impacts related to business reorganizations and divestitures during the three months ended March 29, 2024.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income decreased by $11.7 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025, as compared to the comparable period in 2024. Comprehensive income for the three months ended March 28, 2025 includes favorable foreign currency translation adjustments of $15.0 million while comprehensive income for the three months ended March 29, 2024 includes a gain on the sale of the Company’s Coats business of $39.8 million and unfavorable currency translation adjustments of $22.3 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. As of March 28, 2025, we held $333.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and had $750.0 million of borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. We generate substantial cash from operating activities and believe that our operating cash flow and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to allow us to continue to support working capital needs, capital expenditures, pay interest and service debt, pay taxes and any related interest or penalties, fund our restructuring activities and pension plans as required, invest in existing businesses, consummate strategic acquisitions, manage our capital structure on a short and long-term basis and support other business needs or objectives. We also have purchase obligations which consist of agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased, fixed, minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing of the transaction. As of March 28, 2025, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs.
Our long-term debt requires, among others, that we maintain certain financial covenants, and we were in compliance with all of these covenants as of March 28, 2025.
2025 Financing and Capital Transactions
During the three months ended March 28, 2025, we completed the following financing and capital transactions:
•Voluntarily repaid $50.0 million of the Three-Year Term Loans Due 2025;
•Executed an amendment to extend the maturity date of the Three-Year Term Loans Due 2025 to February 2028, remove the credit spread adjustment and reduce the ratings-based margin by 12.5 basis points;
•Executed an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, which extended the maturity date to February 2030 and removed the SOFR adjustment;
•Repurchased 1.5 million shares for $55.0 million in the open market.
Refer to Note 4. Financing to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more information related to our long-term indebtedness and Note 10. Capital Stock and Earnings per Share to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for more information related to our share repurchases.

Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for income taxes, restructuring activities and other items impact reported cash flows.
Cash flows from operating activities were $110.4 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025, an increase of $18.9 million, as compared to the comparable period in 2024. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to the following factors:
•The aggregate of accounts receivable and long-term financing receivables generated $3.3 million of operating cash flows during the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to using $28.2 million in the comparable period of 2024. The amount of cash flow generated from or used by accounts receivable depends upon how effectively we manage the cash conversion cycle and can be significantly impacted by the timing of collections in a period. Additionally, when we originate certain financing receivables, we assume the financing receivable by decreasing the franchisee’s trade accounts receivable. As a result, originations of certain financing receivables are non-cash transactions.
•The aggregate of other operating assets and liabilities used $26.1 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025 compared to using $11.8 million in the comparable period of 2024. This change is due primarily to working capital needs and the timing of accruals and payments and tax-related amounts.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $17.7 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025, driven by payments for additions to property, plant and equipment. Net cash provided by investing activities was $51.0 million during the three months ended March 29, 2024, driven by proceeds from the sale of our Coats business, partially offset by payments for additions to property, plant and equipment.
We made capital expenditures of $17.7 million and $20.2 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024, respectively.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $119.7 million during the three months ended March 28, 2025, driven by the voluntary repayment of $50.0 million of the Three-Year Term Loans due 2025 and repurchases of the Company’s common stock of $55.0 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $74.4 million during the three months ended March 29, 2024, driven by the voluntary repayment of $50.0 million of the Three-Year Term Loans due 2024 and repurchases of the Company’s common stock of $21.6 million.
Share Repurchase Program
Refer to Note 10. Capital Stock and Earnings per Share to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s share repurchase program.
Dividends
We paid regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.025 per share during the three months ended March 28, 2025. The declaration of future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, financial condition and general business conditions.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
As of March 28, 2025, we had $1.6 billion in aggregate principal amount of the Registered Notes and $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Term Loans. Our obligations to pay principal and interest on the Registered Notes and Term Loans are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis by Gilbarco Inc. and Matco Tools Corporation, two of Vontier’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Our other subsidiaries do not guarantee any such indebtedness (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Refer to Note 4. Financing to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our Registered Notes and the Term Loans.
28
The Registered Notes and the guarantees thereof are the Company’s and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ senior unsecured obligations and:
•rank without preference or priority among themselves and equally in right of payment with our existing and any future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, including, without limitation, indebtedness under our credit agreement;
•are senior in right of payment to any of our existing and future indebtedness that is subordinated to the notes;
•are effectively subordinated to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness; and
•are structurally subordinated to all existing and any future indebtedness and any other liabilities of our Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The following tables present summarized financial information for Vontier Corporation and the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis and after the elimination of (a) intercompany transactions and balances between Vontier Corporation and the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (b) equity in earnings from and investments in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

On May 24, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a replenishment of the Company’s previously approved share repurchase program announced in May 2021, bringing the total amount authorized for future share repurchases to $500.0 million. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may purchase shares of common stock from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or by combinations of such methods, any of which may use prearranged trading plans that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing of any repurchases and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, restrictions under the Company’s debt obligations and other market and economic conditions. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and has no expiration date.
