Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Proto Labs, Inc. (Protolabs, the Company, we, us or our) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. For further information, refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 21, 2023.

The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for a full set of financial statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2023 as referenced above.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company did not recently adopt any accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. There are no pending accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 – Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

Basic net (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased from the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options and other stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. Performance stock units are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the performance conditions have been satisfied. Anti-dilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and were 380,848 and 220,776 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 407,119 and 208,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Table of Contents

The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Net (loss) income	$	(383)	$	2,557	$	2,276	$	7,652

Basic - weighted-average shares outstanding:	26,210,478		27,530,739		26,414,467		27,515,583
Effect of dilutive securities:
Employee stock options and other1	—		6,084		30,960		8,436

Diluted	$	(0.01)	$	0.09	$	0.09	$	0.28


1 For the three months ended June 30, 2023, 14,084 of dilutive securities for employee stock options and other were not included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding due to the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 4 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Intangible assets other than goodwill at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Intangible assets allocated to the acquired Hubs entities consisted of intangible assets of €11.6 million in Europe and $16.6 million in the United States as of the date of the acquisition. The Euro denominated intangible assets are translated at the end of each period using the current exchange rates resulting in a foreign currency translation adjustment that is recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income. Foreign currency losses related to intangible assets were $1.5 million and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $1.5 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and $3.1 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company's assets and liabilities that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company’s cash consists of bank deposits and cash equivalents consist primarily of money market mutual funds. The Company determines the fair value of these investments using Level 1 inputs. The Company's marketable securities consist of short-term and long-term agency, municipal, corporate and other debt securities. Fair value for the corporate debt securities is primarily determined based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Fair values for the U.S. municipal securities, U.S. government agency securities, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities are primarily determined using dealer quotes or quoted market prices for similar securities (Level 2).

The following table summarizes financial assets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2012 Plan), the Company had the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards through February 23, 2022. On July 8, 2022, the board of directors approved the Proto Labs, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2022 Plan), which was approved by the Company's shareholders at a Special Meeting of Shareholders on August 29, 2022. No awards were granted from February 23, 2022 to August 29, 2022. Awards outstanding under the 2012 Plan as of August 29, 2022 will continue to be subject to the terms of the 2012 Plan, but if those awards subsequently expire, are forfeited or cancelled or are settled in cash, the shares subject to those awards will become available for awards under the 2022 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan, the Company has the ability to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash incentive awards. Awards under the 2022 Plan have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant. The compensation committee may provide that the vesting or payment of any award will be subject to the attainment of specified performance measures in addition to the satisfaction of any continued service requirements and the compensation committee will determine whether such measures have been achieved. The per-share exercise price of stock options and SARs granted under the 2022 Plan generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) allows eligible employees to purchase a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock each offering period at a discount through payroll deductions of up to 15 percent of their eligible compensation, subject to plan limitations. The ESPP provides for six-month offering periods with a single purchase period ending May 15 and November 15, respectively. At the end of each offering period, employees are able to purchase shares at 85 percent of the lower of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the last trading day of the offering period.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense was $3.7 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $7.4 million and $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income tax in multiple jurisdictions and the use of estimates is required to determine the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The income tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 117.1 percent compared to 50.8 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate increased by 66.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the tax impact of the foreign currency translation loss from the substantial completion on the closure of our Japan business. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 68.7 percent compared to 40.2 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate increased by 28.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the tax impact of the foreign currency translation loss from the substantial completion on the closure of our Japan business.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent due to various factors, including operating in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions and tax credits for which the Company qualifies.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $3.6 million as of June 30, 2023 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively, that if recognized would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest

and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and reports the liability in current or long-term income taxes payable as appropriate.

Note 11 – Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable segments are based on the internal reporting used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (CODM), to assess operating performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources. The Corporate Unallocated and Japan category includes non-reportable segments, as well as research and development and general and administrative costs, that the Company does not allocate directly to its operating segments.

Intercompany transactions primarily relate to intercontinental activity and have been eliminated and are excluded from the reported amounts. The difference between income from operations and pre-tax income relates to foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments, which are not allocated to business segments.

Revenue and income from operations by reportable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Overview

We are one of the world’s largest and fastest digital manufacturers of custom prototypes and on-demand production parts. Our mission is to empower companies to bring new ideas to market by offering the fastest and most comprehensive digital manufacturing service in the world. Our automated quoting and manufacturing systems allow us to produce commercial-grade plastic, metal, and liquid silicone rubber parts in as fast as one day. We manufacture prototype and low volume production parts for companies worldwide, who are under increasing pressure to bring their finished products to market faster than their competition. We utilize injection molding, computer numerical control (CNC) machining, 3D printing and sheet metal fabrication to manufacture custom parts for our customers. For most of our offerings, our proprietary technology eliminates most of the time-consuming and expensive skilled labor conventionally required to quote and manufacture parts. Our customers conduct nearly all of their business with us over the Internet. We target our products to the millions of product developers and engineers who use three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D CAD) software to design products across a diverse range of end-markets. In addition, we serve procurement and supply chain professionals seeking to manufacture custom parts on-demand. Through the acquisition of Hubs (formerly 3D Hubs, Inc.) (Hubs) in 2021, we are able to provide our customers access to a global network of premium manufacturing partners who reside across North America, Europe and Asia, complementing our in-house manufacturing. We believe our use of advanced technology enables us to offer significant advantages at competitive prices to many customers and is the primary reason we have become a leading supplier of custom parts.

On May 27, 2022, our board of directors approved a plan for the closure of our manufacturing facility in Japan and announced an intention to cease operations in the region. Affected employees in Japan will receive severance and other transition assistance that meet or exceed local requirements. We expect to complete the closure plan within the year.

Our primary manufacturing product lines currently include Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal. We continually seek to expand the range of sizes and geometric complexity of the parts we can make with these processes, to extend the variety of materials we are able to support, and to identify additional manufacturing processes to which we can apply our technology in order to better serve the evolving preferences and needs of product developers and engineers. In 2021, we augmented our internal manufacturing operations through our acquisition of Hubs to expand the envelope of custom parts we can provide to our customers through a network of premium manufacturing partners in each of our product lines.

Injection Molding

Our Injection Molding product line uses our 3D CAD-to-CNC machining technology for the automated design and manufacture of molds, which are then used to produce custom plastic and liquid silicone rubber injection-molded parts and over-molded and insert-molded injection-molded parts on commercially available equipment. Our Injection Molding product line works best for on-demand production, bridge tooling, pilot runs and functional prototyping. Our affordable molds and quick turnaround times help reduce design risk and limit overall production costs for product developers and engineers. Because we retain possession of the molds, customers who need short-run production often come back to Proto

Table of Contents

Labs’ Injection Molding product line for additional quantities. They do so to support pilot production for product testing, while their tooling for high-volume production is being prepared, because they need on-demand manufacturing due to disruptions in their manufacturing process, because their product requires limited annual quantity or because they need end-of-life production support. In 2017, we launched an on-demand manufacturing injection molding service. This service utilizes our existing processes, but is designed to fulfill the needs of customers with on-going production needs.

CNC Machining

Our CNC Machining product line uses commercially available CNC machines to offer milling and turning. CNC milling is a manufacturing process that cuts plastic and metal blocks into one or more custom parts based on the 3D CAD model uploaded by the customer. CNC turning is a subtractive manufacturing process that rotates a metal rod while a cutting tool is used to remove material and create final parts. Quick-turn CNC machining works best for prototyping, form and fit testing, jigs and fixtures and functional components for end-use applications.

Industrial 3D Printing

Our Industrial 3D Printing product line includes SL, SLS, DMLS, MJF, PolyJet, Carbon DLS and fused deposition modeling (FDM) processes, which offers customers a wide-variety of high-quality, precision rapid prototyping and low volume production. These processes create parts with a high level of accuracy, detail, strength and durability. Industrial 3D Printing is best suited for functional prototypes, complex designs and end-use applications.

Sheet Metal

Our Sheet Metal product line includes quick-turn and e-commerce-enabled custom sheet metal parts, providing customers with prototype and low-volume production parts. The rapid prototype sheet metal process is most often used when form, fit and function are all a priority. Our manufacturing process uses customer 3D CAD models uploaded by the customer to fabricate rapid prototyping sheet metal or end-use production parts and assemblies.

Key Financial Measures and Trends

Revenue

Our operations are comprised of three geographic operating segments in the United States, Europe and Japan. On May 27, 2022, our board of directors approved a plan for the closure of our manufacturing facility in Japan and announced an intention to cease operations in the region. Revenue is derived from our Injection Molding, CNC Machining, 3D Printing and Sheet Metal product lines. Injection Molding revenue consists of sales of custom injection molds and injection-molded parts. CNC Machining revenue consists of sales of CNC-machined custom parts. 3D Printing revenue consists of sales of 3D-printed parts. Sheet Metal revenue consists of sales of fabricated sheet metal custom parts. Our historical and current efforts to increase revenue have been directed at gaining new customers and selling to our existing customer base by increasing marketing and selling activities, including:

•expanding the breadth and scope of our products by adding more sizes and materials to our offerings;

•the introduction of our 3D Printing product line through our acquisition of FineLine in 2014;

•expanding 3D Printing to Europe through our acquisition of Alphaform in 2015;

•the introduction of our Sheet Metal product line through our acquisition of Rapid Manufacturing Group, LLC in 2017;

•continuously improving the usability of our product lines such as our web-centric applications; and

•providing customers with on-demand access to a global network of premium manufacturing partners through our acquisition of Hubs in 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we served 23,377 unique product developers and engineers who purchased our products through our web-based customer interface, a decrease of 2.8% over the same period in 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we served 35,743 unique product developers and engineers who purchased our products through our web-based customer interface, a decrease of 3.1% over the same period in 2022.

Table of Contents

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Cost of revenue consists primarily of raw materials, equipment depreciation, employee compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation, facilities costs and overhead allocations associated with the manufacturing process for molds and customer parts. We expect our personnel-related costs to increase in order to retain and attract top talent and remain competitive in the market. Overall, we expect cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars.

We define gross profit as our revenue less our cost of revenue, and we define gross margin as gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross profit and gross margin are affected by many factors, including our mix of revenue by product line, pricing, sales volume, manufacturing costs, the costs associated with increasing production capacity, the mix between domestic and foreign revenue sources, the mix between revenue produced in our internal manufacturing operations and outsourced to our external manufacturing partners, the mix between premium expedited manufacturing and longer lead times, and foreign currency exchange rates.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of marketing and sales, research and development and general and administrative expenses. Personnel-related costs are the most significant component in each of these categories.

Our business strategy is to continue to be a leading online and technology-enabled manufacturer of quick-turn, on-demand injection-molded, CNC-machined, 3D-printed and sheet metal custom parts for prototyping and low-volume production. In order to achieve our goals, we anticipate continued substantial investments in technology and personnel, resulting in increased operating expenses in the future.

Marketing and sales. Marketing and sales expense consists primarily of employee compensation, benefits, commissions, stock-based compensation, marketing programs such as electronic, print and pay-per-click advertising, trade shows and other related overhead, which includes an allocation of information technology expense including amortization of Protolabs 2.0 software assets. We expect sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we increase the number of marketing and sales professionals and marketing programs targeted to increase our customer base and grow revenue.

Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel and outside service costs related to the development of new processes and product lines, enhancement of existing product lines, development of software for internal use, maintenance of internally developed software, quality assurance and testing. Costs for internal use software are evaluated by project and capitalized where appropriate under ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software. We expect research and development expense to increase in the future as we seek to enhance our e-commerce interface technology, internal software and supporting business systems, and continue to expand our product lines.

General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of employee compensation, benefits, stock-based compensation, professional service fees related to accounting, tax and legal, and other related overhead, which includes an allocation of information technology expense including amortization of Protolabs 2.0 software assets. We expect general and administrative expense to increase in the future as we continue to grow and expand as a global organization.

Closure of Japan business. Closure of Japan business expense is driven by our decision to close the Japan manufacturing facility and exit the Japan market. The expenses consist primarily of operating expense, including employee severance, write-down of fixed assets, facility-related charges and goodwill impairment charges.

Other Income (Loss), net

Other income (loss), net primarily consists of foreign currency-related gains and losses and interest income on cash balances and investments. Our foreign currency-related gains and losses will vary depending upon movements in underlying foreign currency exchange rates. Our interest income will vary each reporting period depending on our average cash balances during the period, composition of our marketable security portfolio and the current level of interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes is comprised of federal, state, local and foreign taxes based on pre-tax income. Overall, our effective tax rate for 2023 and beyond may differ from historical effective tax rates due to increases in losses in foreign

Our revenue decreased $4.6 million, or 3.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. By reportable segment, revenue in the United States decreased $4.3 million, or 4.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Revenue in Europe increased $2.6 million, or 10.9%, and revenue in Japan decreased $2.9 million, or 100.0% in each case for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in Japan revenue was driven by our decision in the second quarter of 2022 to close our Japan operations. Revenue generated from our digital network powered by Hubs was $20.2 million and $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. International revenue was negatively impacted by $0.5 million during three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of foreign currency movements, primarily the weakening of the British Pound and Euro relative to the United States Dollar.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we served 23,377 unique product developers and engineers, which is a decrease of 2.8% from the same period in 2022. Our decline in product developers and engineers served decreased at a lesser rate than our revenue decline, resulting in an increase in the average spend per product developer and engineer.

Revenue by product line and the related changes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2023				2022				Change

Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue decreased $0.3 million, or 0.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, which was less than the rate of revenue decrease of 3.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in the cost of revenue of $0.3 million was primarily driven by reduced headcount and decreases in overtime and contract labor expense and led to lower personnel and related costs of $3.8 million, which were partly offset by increases in raw material and product costs of $3.5 million primarily driven by higher revenue volumes in our digital network offering during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit decreased from $57.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $53.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023. Gross margin decreased from 45.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 43.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses increased $0.7 million, or 3.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in marketing and sales expenses was primarily driven by increases in personnel and related costs of $0.5 million and marketing program cost increases of $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses increased $0.4 million, or 4.4%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to increases of $0.5 million in personnel and related costs, which were partially offset by decreases of $0.1 million in professional services.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 4.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to decreases of $0.3 million stock based compensation costs and personnel and related costs of $0.5 million, which were partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in professional services and operating costs.

Closure of Japan business. Our decision to close our Japan business resulted in $0.1 million in operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $5.1 million or 98.1% compared to the same period in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $2.2 million of employee severance, $1.2 million related to the write-down of fixed assets, $0.9 million of facility-related charges, $0.6 million in goodwill impairment and $0.3 million in other closure related charges.

Other (loss) income, net. We recognized other loss, net of $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to other income, net of zero for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of a $3.9 million foreign currency translation loss from the substantial completion on the closure of our Japan business, partly offset by $0.5 million in interest income on investments and other income. Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily consisted of a $0.3 million loss on foreign currency, which was offset by interest income on investments and other income.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate of 117.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 66.3% compared to 50.8% for the same period in 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the foreign currency translation loss from the substantial completion on the closure of our Japan business, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Our income tax provision of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was consistent as compared to the same period in 2022.

The following table summarizes our cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	31,867	$	31,040

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(80)		(966)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	9,935	$	(11,263)

Sources of Liquidity

Historically, we have primarily financed our operations and capital expenditures through cash flow from operations. We had cash and cash equivalents of $66.5 million as of June 30, 2023, an increase of $9.9 million from December 31, 2022. The increase in our cash was primarily due to cash provided by operating activities of $31.9 million and proceeds from call redemptions and maturities of marketable securities of $14.0 million, which were partially offset by $6.8 million for purchases of property, equipment and other capital assets, and $30.1 million in repurchases of common stock.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities were $31.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and primarily consisted of net income of $2.3 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $18.9 million, stock-based compensation expense of $7.4 million, interest on finance lease obligations of $0.6 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities and other items totaling $4.7 million, which were partially offset by deferred taxes of $5.6 million. Cash flows from operating activities were $31.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and primarily consisted of net income of $7.7 million, adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $20.3 million and stock-based compensation expense of $8.4 million, and impairments related to the closure of our Japan business of $1.8 million, which were partially offset by deferred taxes of $5.7 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities and other items totaling $1.5 million.

Cash flows from operating activities increased $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increases in interest on finance lease obligations of $0.6 million, foreign currency translation losses of $3.9 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $6.1 million, which were partially offset by decreases in net income of $5.4 million, stock-based compensation of $1.1 million, impairments related to the closure of Japan business of $1.8 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities was $7.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, consisting of $14.0 million in proceeds from call redemptions and maturities of marketable securities, which were partially offset by $6.2 million for net purchases of property, equipment and other capital assets.

Cash used in investing activities was $36.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, consisting of $30.5 million for net purchases of marketable securities and $6.0 million for the purchases of property, equipment and other capital assets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

transactions, and $0.2 million for repayments of finance lease obligations, which were partially offset by $2.0 million in proceeds from exercises of stock option.

Cash used in financing activities was $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, consisting of $5.2 million in repurchases of common stock, $1.6 million in purchases of shares withheld for tax obligations associated with equity transactions, which were partially offset by $2.3 million in proceeds from exercises of stock options.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgements and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included Pat II, Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign Currency Risk

As a result of our foreign operations, we have revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. We generate revenue and incur production costs and operating expenses in British Pounds, Euros and Japanese Yen.

Our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the United States Dollar appreciates relative to foreign currencies. Additionally, our operating results and cash flows are adversely impacted when the British Pound appreciates relative to the Euro. As we expand internationally, our results of operations and cash flows will become increasingly subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We have not used forward contracts or currency borrowings to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk. Foreign currency risk can be assessed by estimating the change in results of operations or financial position resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates. We believe such a change would generally not have a material impact on our financial position, but could have a material impact on our results of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a foreign currency translation loss of $3.9 million in connection with substantially completing our closure of our Japan business. We recognized foreign currency losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recognized foreign currency gains of $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative impact on consolidated revenue of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share

Net (Loss) Income per Common ShareBasic net (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased from the proceeds from issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock include stock options and other stock-based awards granted under stock-based compensation plans and shares committed to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan. Performance stock units are excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares until the performance conditions have been satisfied. Anti-dilutive options were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding and were 380,848 and 220,776 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 407,119 and 208,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share:

Income Taxes	Jun. 30, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company is subject to income tax in multiple jurisdictions and the use of estimates is required to determine the provision for income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The income tax provision is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year applied to pre-tax income. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 117.1 percent compared to 50.8 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate increased by 66.3 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the tax impact of the foreign currency translation loss from the substantial completion on the closure of our Japan business. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 68.7 percent compared to 40.2 percent in the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate increased by 28.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the tax impact of the foreign currency translation loss from the substantial completion on the closure of our Japan business. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent due to various factors, including operating in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions and tax credits for which the Company qualifies. The Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $3.6 million as of June 30, 2023 and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively, that if recognized would result in a reduction of the Company’s effective tax rate. The liabilities are classified as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense and reports the liability in current or long-term income taxes payable as appropriate.
