(Nasdaq: NOVT) (“Novanta” or the “Company”), a trusted technology partner to medical and advanced technology equipment manufacturers, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2023. Financial Highlights Three Months Ended (In millions, except per share amounts) June 30, July 1, 2023 2022 GAAP Revenue $ 229.5 $ 215.4 Operating Income $ 32.2 $ 23.3 Consolidated Net Income $ 20.9 $ 17.5 Diluted EPS $ 0.58 $ 0.49 Non-GAAP* Adjusted Operating Income $ 42.1 $ 36.7 Adjusted Diluted EPS $ 0.80 $ 0.78 Adjusted EBITDA $ 51.7 $ 45.0 *Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release and the reasons for their use, are presented below. “Novanta delivered a strong quarter of revenue growth and profit growth despite the challenging macroeconomic climate,” said Matthijs Glastra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Novanta. “Growth in our medical end-markets remains robust, and our sales to industrial end-market customers stayed resilient despite the evolving industrial capital spending environment. Our teams performed exceptionally well, utilizing the Novanta Growth System, and delivered gross margin expansion, as well as improving customer satisfaction by reducing our past-due backlog to customers by 46% sequentially. We remain very confident in our operating model, and in our ability to bring innovations to our customers in high-growth end-markets.” Second Quarter During the second quarter of 2023, Novanta generated GAAP revenue of $229.5 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 6.6%, versus the second quarter of 2022. The Company’s acquisition activities resulted in an increase in revenue of $3.3 million, or 1.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates year over year adversely impacted our revenue by $0.1 million, or 0.0%, during the second quarter of 2023. Our year-over-year Organic Revenue Growth, which excludes the net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, was an increase of 5.1% for the second quarter of 2023 (see “Organic Revenue Growth” in the non-GAAP reconciliations below). In the second quarter of 2023, GAAP operating income was $32.2 million, compared to $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. GAAP net income was $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.58 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.49 in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.80 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.78 in the second quarter of 2022. The Company ended the second quarter of 2023 with 36.0 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA was $51.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2023 was $26.2 million, compared to $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The Company completed the second quarter of 2023 with approximately $408.5 million of total debt and $91.3 million of total cash. Net Debt, as defined in the non-GAAP reconciliation below, was $321.4 million. Financial Guidance “While macroeconomic conditions, particularly with regard to industrial capital spending and China, are expected to intensify in the second half, Novanta’s diversified portfolio, especially its medical end-market exposure, is expected to continue to remain strong, acting as a counterbalance to the environment,” said Matthijs Glastra. “Regardless of the macroeconomic climate, we continue to focus on secular growth opportunities in the right applications, coupled with the Novanta Growth System to deliver consistent, predictable, and sustainable long-term growth.” For the third quarter of 2023, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $221 million to $224 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $48 million to $51 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.77. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. For the full year 2023, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $892 million to $902 million. The Company expects Adjusted Gross Profit Margin to be approximately 46.5% to 47.0%. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $196 million to $204 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.96 to $3.15. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. Novanta provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide earnings guidance on a GAAP basis, with the exception of GAAP revenue guidance. A reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including future changes in the fair value of contingent considerations; significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits); divestitures and related expenses; acquisitions and related expenses; impact of purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions; gains and losses from sale of real estate assets; costs related to product line closures; intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; future restructuring expenses; foreign exchange gains/(losses); benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding Novanta’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Conference Call Information The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. ET to discuss these results and to provide a business update.

Alternatively, the conference call can be accessed online via a live webcast on the Events & Presentations page of the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com.

The replay will remain available until Monday, October 2, 2023. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Income and Operating Margin, Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income, and Net Debt. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. It is management’s belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company’s strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the Company’s existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures and product line closures, expanding the Company’s business through significant internal investments, and broadening the Company’s product and service offerings through acquisition of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, is often large relative to the Company’s overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors’ ability to analyze the business from period to period. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Margin are used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities, including acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Margins are used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. The Company also uses Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as performance targets for certain performance-based restricted stock units issued to certain executives. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency and insight into management’s method of analysis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

The Company uses the related term “organic revenue growth” to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing current period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows the Company and its investors to better measure the Company’s performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from these measures because foreign currency translation is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can vary dramatically between reporting periods and between the Company and its peers, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors. Organic Revenue Growth is also used as a performance metric to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin The calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets and inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions because: (1) the amounts are non-cash; (2) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (3) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the underlying trends and performance of our businesses. The Company also excluded inventory related charges associated with a product line closure as these costs occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Additionally, the Company excluded costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing as these costs are unique to the COVID-19 pandemic and had a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin The calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, and costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing for the reasons described for Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin above. The Company also excludes restructuring and acquisition-related costs due to the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes is displayed in the tables above. The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, and restructuring and acquisition-related costs for the reasons described for Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin above. The Company excludes write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs because they only arise in certain specific situations when the Company’s existing credit agreement is terminated or modified. The Company also excludes foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) from the calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes as the Company cannot fully influence the timing and amount of foreign exchange transaction gains (losses). Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate are calculated based on the Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes by jurisdiction and the applicable tax rates currently in effect for the respective jurisdictions. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. Adjusted Net Income The calculation of Adjusted Net Income is displayed in the tables above. Because income before income taxes is included in determining Net Income, the calculation of Adjusted Net Income also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, and foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) for the reasons described for Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, expenses (benefits) associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. Adjusted Diluted EPS The calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS is displayed in the tables above. Because Net Income is used in the calculation of diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, expenses (benefits) associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments for the reasons described above for Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before deducting interest (income) expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, acquisition fair value adjustments, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, other non-operating (income) expense items, including foreign exchange transaction (gains) losses, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, and net periodic pension costs of the Company’s frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment and plus cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Net Income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the Company’s liquidity as well as its ability to service its outstanding debt and to fund future growth. Net Debt The Company defines Net Debt as its total debt as reported on the consolidated balance sheet plus unamortized deferred financing costs and less its cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period presented. Management uses Net Debt to monitor the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that could not be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Novanta Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2023 By: Novanta Inc. via Business Wire August 08, 2023 at 06:59 AM EDT Second Quarter 2023 GAAP Revenue increased 7% to $229 million Second Quarter 2023 GAAP Net Income of $21 million Second Quarter 2023 GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.58 Second Quarter 2023 Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.80 Second Quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $52 million Novanta Inc. (Nasdaq: NOVT) (“Novanta” or the “Company”), a trusted technology partner to medical and advanced technology equipment manufacturers, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2023. Financial Highlights Three Months Ended (In millions, except per share amounts) June 30, July 1, 2023 2022 GAAP Revenue $ 229.5 $ 215.4 Operating Income $ 32.2 $ 23.3 Consolidated Net Income $ 20.9 $ 17.5 Diluted EPS $ 0.58 $ 0.49 Non-GAAP* Adjusted Operating Income $ 42.1 $ 36.7 Adjusted Diluted EPS $ 0.80 $ 0.78 Adjusted EBITDA $ 51.7 $ 45.0 *Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release and the reasons for their use, are presented below. “Novanta delivered a strong quarter of revenue growth and profit growth despite the challenging macroeconomic climate,” said Matthijs Glastra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Novanta. “Growth in our medical end-markets remains robust, and our sales to industrial end-market customers stayed resilient despite the evolving industrial capital spending environment. Our teams performed exceptionally well, utilizing the Novanta Growth System, and delivered gross margin expansion, as well as improving customer satisfaction by reducing our past-due backlog to customers by 46% sequentially. We remain very confident in our operating model, and in our ability to bring innovations to our customers in high-growth end-markets.” Second Quarter During the second quarter of 2023, Novanta generated GAAP revenue of $229.5 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 6.6%, versus the second quarter of 2022. The Company’s acquisition activities resulted in an increase in revenue of $3.3 million, or 1.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates year over year adversely impacted our revenue by $0.1 million, or 0.0%, during the second quarter of 2023. Our year-over-year Organic Revenue Growth, which excludes the net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, was an increase of 5.1% for the second quarter of 2023 (see “Organic Revenue Growth” in the non-GAAP reconciliations below). In the second quarter of 2023, GAAP operating income was $32.2 million, compared to $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. GAAP net income was $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.58 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.49 in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.80 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.78 in the second quarter of 2022. The Company ended the second quarter of 2023 with 36.0 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA was $51.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2023 was $26.2 million, compared to $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The Company completed the second quarter of 2023 with approximately $408.5 million of total debt and $91.3 million of total cash. Net Debt, as defined in the non-GAAP reconciliation below, was $321.4 million. Financial Guidance “While macroeconomic conditions, particularly with regard to industrial capital spending and China, are expected to intensify in the second half, Novanta’s diversified portfolio, especially its medical end-market exposure, is expected to continue to remain strong, acting as a counterbalance to the environment,” said Matthijs Glastra. “Regardless of the macroeconomic climate, we continue to focus on secular growth opportunities in the right applications, coupled with the Novanta Growth System to deliver consistent, predictable, and sustainable long-term growth.” For the third quarter of 2023, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $221 million to $224 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $48 million to $51 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.77. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. For the full year 2023, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $892 million to $902 million. The Company expects Adjusted Gross Profit Margin to be approximately 46.5% to 47.0%. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $196 million to $204 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.96 to $3.15. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. Novanta provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide earnings guidance on a GAAP basis, with the exception of GAAP revenue guidance. A reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including future changes in the fair value of contingent considerations; significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits); divestitures and related expenses; acquisitions and related expenses; impact of purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions; gains and losses from sale of real estate assets; costs related to product line closures; intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; future restructuring expenses; foreign exchange gains/(losses); benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding Novanta’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Conference Call Information The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. ET to discuss these results and to provide a business update. To access the call, please dial (888) 346-3959 prior to the scheduled conference call time. Alternatively, the conference call can be accessed online via a live webcast on the Events & Presentations page of the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com. A replay of the audio webcast will be available approximately three hours after the conclusion of the call in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com. The replay will remain available until Monday, October 2, 2023. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Income and Operating Margin, Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income, and Net Debt. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. It is management’s belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company’s strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the Company’s existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures and product line closures, expanding the Company’s business through significant internal investments, and broadening the Company’s product and service offerings through acquisition of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, is often large relative to the Company’s overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors’ ability to analyze the business from period to period. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Margin are used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities, including acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Margins are used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. The Company also uses Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as performance targets for certain performance-based restricted stock units issued to certain executives. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency and insight into management’s method of analysis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

The Company uses the related term “organic revenue growth” to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing current period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows the Company and its investors to better measure the Company’s performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from these measures because foreign currency translation is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can vary dramatically between reporting periods and between the Company and its peers, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors. Organic Revenue Growth is also used as a performance metric to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin The calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets and inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions because: (1) the amounts are non-cash; (2) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (3) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the underlying trends and performance of our businesses. The Company also excluded inventory related charges associated with a product line closure as these costs occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Additionally, the Company excluded costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing as these costs are unique to the COVID-19 pandemic and had a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin The calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, and costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing for the reasons described for Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin above. The Company also excludes restructuring and acquisition-related costs due to the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes is displayed in the tables above. The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, and restructuring and acquisition-related costs for the reasons described for Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin above. The Company excludes write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs because they only arise in certain specific situations when the Company’s existing credit agreement is terminated or modified. The Company also excludes foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) from the calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes as the Company cannot fully influence the timing and amount of foreign exchange transaction gains (losses). Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate are calculated based on the Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes by jurisdiction and the applicable tax rates currently in effect for the respective jurisdictions. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. Adjusted Net Income The calculation of Adjusted Net Income is displayed in the tables above. Because income before income taxes is included in determining Net Income, the calculation of Adjusted Net Income also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, and foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) for the reasons described for Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, expenses (benefits) associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. Adjusted Diluted EPS The calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS is displayed in the tables above. Because Net Income is used in the calculation of diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, expenses (benefits) associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments for the reasons described above for Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before deducting interest (income) expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, acquisition fair value adjustments, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, other non-operating (income) expense items, including foreign exchange transaction (gains) losses, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, and net periodic pension costs of the Company’s frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment and plus cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Net Income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the Company’s liquidity as well as its ability to service its outstanding debt and to fund future growth. Net Debt The Company defines Net Debt as its total debt as reported on the consolidated balance sheet plus unamortized deferred financing costs and less its cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period presented. Management uses Net Debt to monitor the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that could not be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Second Quarter 2023 GAAP Revenue increased 7% to $229 million Second Quarter 2023 GAAP Net Income of $21 million Second Quarter 2023 GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.58 Second Quarter 2023 Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.80 Second Quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $52 million
Novanta Inc. (Nasdaq: NOVT) (“Novanta” or the “Company”), a trusted technology partner to medical and advanced technology equipment manufacturers, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2023. Financial Highlights Three Months Ended (In millions, except per share amounts) June 30, July 1, 2023 2022 GAAP Revenue $ 229.5 $ 215.4 Operating Income $ 32.2 $ 23.3 Consolidated Net Income $ 20.9 $ 17.5 Diluted EPS $ 0.58 $ 0.49 Non-GAAP* Adjusted Operating Income $ 42.1 $ 36.7 Adjusted Diluted EPS $ 0.80 $ 0.78 Adjusted EBITDA $ 51.7 $ 45.0 *Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, as well as definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release and the reasons for their use, are presented below. “Novanta delivered a strong quarter of revenue growth and profit growth despite the challenging macroeconomic climate,” said Matthijs Glastra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Novanta. “Growth in our medical end-markets remains robust, and our sales to industrial end-market customers stayed resilient despite the evolving industrial capital spending environment. Our teams performed exceptionally well, utilizing the Novanta Growth System, and delivered gross margin expansion, as well as improving customer satisfaction by reducing our past-due backlog to customers by 46% sequentially. We remain very confident in our operating model, and in our ability to bring innovations to our customers in high-growth end-markets.” Second Quarter During the second quarter of 2023, Novanta generated GAAP revenue of $229.5 million, an increase of $14.1 million, or 6.6%, versus the second quarter of 2022. The Company’s acquisition activities resulted in an increase in revenue of $3.3 million, or 1.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates year over year adversely impacted our revenue by $0.1 million, or 0.0%, during the second quarter of 2023. Our year-over-year Organic Revenue Growth, which excludes the net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, was an increase of 5.1% for the second quarter of 2023 (see “Organic Revenue Growth” in the non-GAAP reconciliations below). In the second quarter of 2023, GAAP operating income was $32.2 million, compared to $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. GAAP net income was $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.58 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.49 in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted Diluted EPS was $0.80 in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $0.78 in the second quarter of 2022. The Company ended the second quarter of 2023 with 36.0 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA was $51.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $45.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2023 was $26.2 million, compared to $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The Company completed the second quarter of 2023 with approximately $408.5 million of total debt and $91.3 million of total cash. Net Debt, as defined in the non-GAAP reconciliation below, was $321.4 million. Financial Guidance “While macroeconomic conditions, particularly with regard to industrial capital spending and China, are expected to intensify in the second half, Novanta’s diversified portfolio, especially its medical end-market exposure, is expected to continue to remain strong, acting as a counterbalance to the environment,” said Matthijs Glastra. “Regardless of the macroeconomic climate, we continue to focus on secular growth opportunities in the right applications, coupled with the Novanta Growth System to deliver consistent, predictable, and sustainable long-term growth.” For the third quarter of 2023, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $221 million to $224 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $48 million to $51 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.77. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. For the full year 2023, the Company expects GAAP revenue of approximately $892 million to $902 million. The Company expects Adjusted Gross Profit Margin to be approximately 46.5% to 47.0%. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $196 million to $204 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.96 to $3.15. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates. Novanta provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide earnings guidance on a GAAP basis, with the exception of GAAP revenue guidance. A reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including future changes in the fair value of contingent considerations; significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits); divestitures and related expenses; acquisitions and related expenses; impact of purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions; gains and losses from sale of real estate assets; costs related to product line closures; intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; future restructuring expenses; foreign exchange gains/(losses); benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding Novanta’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Alternatively, the conference call can be accessed online via a live webcast on the Events & Presentations page of the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com.

The replay will remain available until Monday, October 2, 2023. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Income and Operating Margin, Adjusted Income before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income, and Net Debt. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. It is management’s belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company’s strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the Company’s existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures and product line closures, expanding the Company’s business through significant internal investments, and broadening the Company’s product and service offerings through acquisition of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, is often large relative to the Company’s overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors’ ability to analyze the business from period to period. The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Margin are used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities, including acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Margins are used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. The Company also uses Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as performance targets for certain performance-based restricted stock units issued to certain executives. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency and insight into management’s method of analysis. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

The Company uses the related term “organic revenue growth” to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing current period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows the Company and its investors to better measure the Company’s performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from these measures because foreign currency translation is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can vary dramatically between reporting periods and between the Company and its peers, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors. Organic Revenue Growth is also used as a performance metric to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin The calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets and inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions because: (1) the amounts are non-cash; (2) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (3) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the underlying trends and performance of our businesses. The Company also excluded inventory related charges associated with a product line closure as these costs occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Additionally, the Company excluded costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing as these costs are unique to the COVID-19 pandemic and had a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin The calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin is displayed in the tables above. Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, and costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing for the reasons described for Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin above. The Company also excludes restructuring and acquisition-related costs due to the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes is displayed in the tables above. The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, and restructuring and acquisition-related costs for the reasons described for Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin above. The Company excludes write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs because they only arise in certain specific situations when the Company’s existing credit agreement is terminated or modified. The Company also excludes foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) from the calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes as the Company cannot fully influence the timing and amount of foreign exchange transaction gains (losses). Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate are calculated based on the Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes by jurisdiction and the applicable tax rates currently in effect for the respective jurisdictions. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. Adjusted Net Income The calculation of Adjusted Net Income is displayed in the tables above. Because income before income taxes is included in determining Net Income, the calculation of Adjusted Net Income also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, and foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) for the reasons described for Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, expenses (benefits) associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. Adjusted Diluted EPS The calculation of Adjusted Diluted EPS is displayed in the tables above. Because Net Income is used in the calculation of diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring costs, acquisition-related costs, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, foreign exchange transaction gains (losses), significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, expenses (benefits) associated with the completion of tax audits, effects of changes in tax laws, effects of acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments for the reasons described above for Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before deducting interest (income) expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, costs directly related to employee COVID-19 testing, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, acquisition fair value adjustments, inventory related charges associated with a product line closure, other non-operating (income) expense items, including foreign exchange transaction (gains) losses, write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, and net periodic pension costs of the Company’s frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation. Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment and plus cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Net Income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the Company’s liquidity as well as its ability to service its outstanding debt and to fund future growth. Net Debt The Company defines Net Debt as its total debt as reported on the consolidated balance sheet plus unamortized deferred financing costs and less its cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period presented. Management uses Net Debt to monitor the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that could not be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.
