Axcelis Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1.  Nature of Business

Axcelis Technologies, Inc. (“Axcelis” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in 1995 and is a producer of ion implantation equipment used in the fabrication of semiconductor chips in the United States, Europe and Asia. In addition, we provide extensive worldwide aftermarket service and support, including spare parts, equipment upgrades, used equipment, and maintenance services to the semiconductor industry.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements have been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the year as a whole.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. As of June 30, 2024, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies, other than with respect to the Company’s accounting policy for derivative financial instruments, which it had not held in prior periods, as described in Note 2 below. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024 (as so amended, the “2023 Form 10-K”).

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Derivative instruments

We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations, including market risks relating to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have entered into forward exchange contracts in order to mitigate risks associated with fluctuations in exchange rates on forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies and to minimize the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. These contracts have month-to-month settlement dates. As of June 30, 2024, we had open contracts with a notional value of $111 million. We measure these instruments at fair value and recognize assets or liabilities associated with the intrinsic value on these open contracts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the end of each reporting period. At June 30, 2024, the recognized unrealized loss on these forward exchange contracts was approximately $323 thousand. Unrealized gains and losses are shown in our cash flows from operating activities within our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We have not designated these forward exchange contracts as hedging instruments and we record changes in the fair values at each measurement date in Other, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded $2.3 million and $3.8 million of gain on forward currency exchange contracts, respectively.

We do not offset fair value amounts of derivative instruments. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Note 3.  Stock-Based Compensation

We maintain the Axcelis Technologies, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2012 Equity Plan”), which became effective on May 2, 2012, and permits the issuance of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance awards to selected employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

The 2012 Equity Plan is more fully described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K.

8

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $5.5 million and $4.7 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $10.2 million and $7.9 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts include compensation expense related to RSUs, non-qualified stock options, and stock to be issued to participants under the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2020 ESPP”).

In the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, we issued 0.2 million shares of common stock upon vesting of RSUs granted under the 2012 Equity Plan and purchases under the 2020 ESPP. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we received proceeds of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from purchases under the 2020 ESPP.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we issued 0.2 million and 0.3 million shares of common stock, respectively, upon vesting of RSUs granted under the 2012 Equity Plan and purchases under the 2020 ESPP. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we received proceeds of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in connection with purchases under the 2020 ESPP.

Note 4.  Leases

We have operating leases for manufacturing, office space, warehouse space, computer and office equipment and vehicles used in our business operations. We have a finance lease in relation to the 2015 sale-leaseback of our corporate headquarters in Beverly, Massachusetts. We review all agreements to determine if the agreement contains a lease component. An agreement contains a lease component if it provides for the use of a specific physical space or a specific physical item.

We recognize operating lease obligations under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”). The guidance in Topic 842 requires recognition of lease assets and related liabilities on a discounted basis using the explicit or implicit discount rate stated within the agreement. We recognize a corresponding right-of-use asset, which is initially determined based upon the net present value of the associated liability and is adjusted for deferred costs and possible impairment, if any. For those lease agreements that do not indicate the applicable discount rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate. We have made the following policy elections: (i) operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets; (ii) we recognize lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term; and (iii) we account for lease components and non-lease components that are fixed payments as one component. Some of our operating leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the respective lease term by one to three years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. For lease extensions that are reasonably certain to occur, we have included the renewal periods in our calculation of the net present value of the lease obligation and related right-of-use asset. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of certain assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The amounts of operating and finance lease right-of-use assets and related lease obligations recorded within our consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

The lease of our corporate headquarters, shown below under finance leases, had an original lease term of 22 years, beginning in January 2015 and expiring in January 2037, with renewal options. All other locations are treated as operating leases, with lease terms ranging from one to 16 years.
