Our information technology systems are subject to the threat of cyber attacks, security breaches, computer hacking, as well as other damage, disruptions or shutdowns. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our security controls and misappropriate or compromise sensitive personal, proprietary or confidential information, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. They also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack our systems or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies to carry out more sophisticated attacks may intensify our cybersecurity risk. Additionally, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our customers’ data or our data, including our intellectual property and other confidential business information, employee information or our information technology systems. Our systems and the data stored on those systems may also be vulnerable to security incidents or security attacks, acts of vandalism or theft, coordinated attacks by activist entities, misplaced or lost data, human errors or other similar events that could negatively affect our systems and its data, as well as the data of our business partners. Further, third parties, such as hosted solution providers, that provide services to us, could also be a source of security risk in the event of a failure of their own security systems and infrastructure.see in full comparison
Substantial litigation and threats of litigation regarding intellectual property rights exist in the display systems and electronics industries. From time to time, third parties, including certain companies in the business of acquiring patents with the intention of aggressively seeking licensing revenue from purported infringers, have asserted and may in the future assert patent and/or other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to our business. In any dispute involving products that we have sold, our customers could also become the target of litigation. We are obligated in many instances to indemnify and defend our customers if the products we sell are alleged to infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights. In some cases, depending on the nature of the claim, we may be able to seek indemnification from our suppliers for ourselves and our customers against such claims, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such indemnification or that we are fully protected against such claims. Any infringement claim brought against us, regardless of the duration, outcome or size of damage award, could result in substantial cost, divert our management’s attention, be time consuming to defend, result in significant damage awards, cause product shipment delays, or require us to enter into royalty or other licensing agreements.see in full comparisonSee Note 13, Risks and Uncertainties, of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding specific legal matters related to our patents.

Our PMT business is subject to customer concentration risk.
During the 2026 fiscal year, one customer in our PMT segment accounted for 14% of the Company's consolidated net sales. A loss of business from, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, this customer may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operation, liquidity and cash flows.
Material disruptions to our supply chains, including changes in our relationships with suppliers, shortages in availability of materials, production delays, regulatory restrictions, public health crises, or other supply chain disruptions, whether due to our suppliers or customers, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and results. Increases in the costs of supplies could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies or our inability to market products. In addition, our profit margins would decrease if the prices of purchased raw materials, component parts or finished goods increase and we are unable to pass on those increases to our customers. Supply chain disruptions may be exacerbated by other events and conditions, including conflicts in Europe and the Middle East,East (including Iran and surrounding countries), which could continue to adversely affect our ability to receive goods on a timely basis and increase our material costs. Short-term or sustained increases in market demand may exceed our suppliers’ production capacity or otherwise strain our supply chain. Our failure, or our suppliers’ failure, to meet the demand for raw materials and components could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further disruptions to the supply chain because of other global or domestic events could materially adversely impact our operations and business. While we actively monitor and take steps to mitigate supply chain risk, there can be no assurance that our mitigation plans will prevent disruptions that may arise from shortages of materials that we use in the production of our products.
Our information technology systems are subject to the threat of cyber attacks, security breaches, computer hacking, as well as other damage, disruptions or shutdowns. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our security controls and misappropriate or compromise sensitive personal, proprietary or confidential information, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. They also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack our systems or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities. The rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies to carry out more sophisticated attacks may intensify our cybersecurity risk. Additionally, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or customers into disclosing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords or other information in order to gain access to our customers’ data or our data, including our intellectual property and other confidential business information, employee information or our information technology systems. Our systems and the data stored on those systems may also be vulnerable to security incidents or security attacks, acts of vandalism or theft, coordinated attacks by activist entities, misplaced or lost data, human errors or other similar events that could negatively affect our systems and its data, as well as the data of our business partners. Further, third parties, such as hosted solution providers, that provide services to us, could also be a source of security risk in the event of a failure of their own security systems and infrastructure.
Our operations could be adversely affected by uncertain conditions in global or regional economies, including conflict (such as ongoing conflict in Europe and the Middle EastEast, including Iran and surrounding countries), higher inflation or interest rates, recession, natural disasters, impacts of and issues related to climate change, business disruptions, and our ability to adequately staff operations. Any future economic declines may result in decreased revenue, gross margins, earnings or growth rates or difficulty in managing inventory levels or collecting customer receivables. We also have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, increased competitive pricing pressure, raw material inflation and availability issues resulting in difficulties meeting customer demand. In addition, customer difficulties in the future could result from economic uncertainty or the deterioration of conditions in markets in which we operate, the cyclical nature of their respective businesses, such as in the oil and gas industry, or otherwise and, in turn, result in decreases in product demand, increases in bad debt write-offs, decreases in timely collection of accounts receivable and adjustments to our allowance for credit losses, resulting in material reductions to our revenues and net earnings.
Artificial intelligence technologies could present business, compliance and reputational risks.
Recent technological advances in artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine-learning technology both present opportunities and pose risks to us. If we fail to keep pace with rapidly evolving technological developments in AI, our competitive position and business results may suffer. We face risk of competitive disadvantage if our competitors more effectively use AI to better serve customers, drive internal efficiencies, and/or create new or enhanced products or service offerings. We have begun to incorporate AI capabilities into our operations and the introduction of these technologies, particularly generative AI, into internal and external processes may result in new or expanded risks and liabilities, including enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, compliance issues, ethical concerns, confidentiality or security risks, as well as other factors that could adversely affect our business, reputation, and financial results. In addition, our personnel could, unbeknownst to us and despite strict governance protocols, improperly utilize AI and machine learning technology while carrying out their responsibilities. The use of AI in the development of our products and services could also cause loss of intellectual property, as well as subject us to risks related to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, data privacy and cybersecurity. The use of AI can lead to unintended consequences, including generating content that appears correct but is factually inaccurate, misleading or otherwise flawed, or that results in unintended biases and discriminatory outcomes, which could harm our reputation and business and expose us to risks related to inaccuracies or errors in the output of such technologies. Finally, multiple jurisdictions have either already put in place laws and regulations governing the use of AI, or are considering such laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws, regulations, and industry frameworks may limit our ability to leverage AI or require us to substantially revise our approach to its use.
Because we source and sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. These risks include the costs and difficulties of managing foreign entities, limitations on the repatriation and investment of funds, cultural differences that affect customer preferences and business practices, unstable political or economic conditions, geopolitical risks and demand or supply reactions from events that could include political crises and conflict (including in Europe and the Middle EastEast, including Iran and surrounding countries), war, a major terrorist attack, natural disasters, actual or threatened public health emergencies, trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements, monetary policy, inflation, economic growth, recession, commodity prices, currency volatility, currency controls, and changes in tax laws.
We may incur indebtedness in the future under our credit facility with PNC Bank N.A. Our ability to make interest and scheduled principal payments on any such indebtedness and operate within restrictive covenants could be adversely impacted by changes in the availability, terms and cost of capital, changes in interest rates or changes in our credit ratings or our outlook. These changes could increase our cost of business, limiting our ability to pursue acquisition opportunities, react to market conditions and meet operational and capital needs, thereby placing us at a competitive disadvantage.
Substantial litigation and threats of litigation regarding intellectual property rights exist in the display systems and electronics industries. From time to time, third parties, including certain companies in the business of acquiring patents with the intention of aggressively seeking licensing revenue from purported infringers, have asserted and may in the future assert patent and/or other intellectual property rights to technologies that are important to our business. In any dispute involving products that we have sold, our customers could also become the target of litigation. We are obligated in many instances to indemnify and defend our customers if the products we sell are alleged to infringe any third party’s intellectual property rights. In some cases, depending on the nature of the claim, we may be able to seek indemnification from our suppliers for ourselves and our customers against such claims, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such indemnification or that we are fully protected against such claims. Any infringement claim brought against us, regardless of the duration, outcome or size of damage award, could result in substantial cost, divert our management’s attention, be time consuming to defend, result in significant damage awards, cause product shipment delays, or require us to enter into royalty or other licensing agreements. See Note 13, Risks and Uncertainties, of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding specific legal matters related to our patents.
These potential lawsuits, with or without merit, may divert management’s attention, and we may incur significant expenses in our defense. In addition, we may be required to pay damages or settlements, become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies, or determinedecide to abandon certain lines of business,business that may causehave a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The impactextent to which of these changes in trade policies may impact our business will depend on various factors, including (i) when trade measures are implemented, (ii) the ultimate amount, scope, nature, and duration of tariffs and other trade measures, and (iii) the extent to which the Company can mitigate impacts and pass on any increased costs associated with these changes. In addition, the impact of trade disruptions on general economic conditions and demand for electronic components is difficult to predict.
As of July 28,27, 2025,2026, Edward J. Richardson, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, beneficially owned approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock, representing approximately 61% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock. This share ownership permits Mr. Richardson to exert control over the outcome of stockholder votes, including votes concerning the election of directors, by-law amendments, possible mergers, corporate control contests and other significant corporate transactions.
Our stock price has fluctuated in the past and may experience declines in the future as a result of the volatile nature of the stock market, developments in our business and/or factors outside of our control including certain of the risk factors discussed in this report. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock to change, including: (i) our operating results as compared to investors’ expectations in any period, (ii) market perceptions concerning our future earnings prospects, (iii) adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends and (iv) changes or events in our industry or the world, such as market reactions to public health issues, natural disasters, changes in global, national, or regional economies, inflation, governmental policies, political unrest, military action and armed conflicts (in Europe and the Middle EastEast, including Iran and surrounding countries), terrorist activities, political and social turmoil, civil unrest and other crises.

Some of the Company's products are manufactured in Chinaforeign countries and imported into the United States. Accordingly, the Company’s operations are subject to tariffs and other trade protection measures. The current U.S. administration has instituted certain changes, and may make additional changes, in trade policies that include the negotiation or termination of trade agreements, higher tariffs on imports into the U.S., and other measures affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries from which the Company imports. Due in part to these measures, some countries are changing their trade policies relating to goods imported from the U.S. These global trade disruptions and geopolitical tensions, together with any related downturns in the global economy, could dampen customer demand, increase market volatility, and impact currency exchange rates, all which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.
The impactextent to which of these changes in trade policies may impact our business will depend on various factors, including (i) when trade measures are implemented, (ii) the ultimate amount, scope, nature, and duration of tariffs and other trade measures, and (iii) the extent to which the Company can mitigate impacts and pass on any increased costs associated with these changes.

The cumulative loss recorded in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026 for the disposal of Healthcare assets and related charges totaled $4.2 million. Refer to Note 10, Disposal of Healthcare Assets and Related Charges, in Part II, Item 8 for more details.
Other income was $1.0 million during fiscal 2026, compared to other income of $0.9 million during fiscal 2025, compared to other expense of $0.2 million during fiscal 2024.2025. Fiscal 20252026 had $0.4$0.5 million of investment income compared to $0.3$0.4 million in fiscal 2024.2025. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of U.S. dollars held in non-U.S. entities. The foreign exchange gainloss reported for fiscal 20252026 totaled $0.5 million compared to a lossgain of $0.4$0.5 million for fiscal 2024.2025. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency. Other income for fiscal 2026 also included a non-recurring gain of $0.9 million.
Income Tax Provision (Benefit) Provision
Our income tax provision (benefit) provision during fiscal 2025,2026, fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 andwas fiscal$1.1 2023 wasmillion, ($0.4) million, $0.1 million and $2.7$0.1 million, respectively. The effective income tax rates during fiscal 2025,2026, fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 andwere fiscal 2023 were14.6%, 25.4%, 61.4% and 10.8%,61.4%, respectively. The difference between the effective income tax rates as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% during fiscal 2025,2026, fiscal 20242025 and fiscal 20232024 reflects changes in the geographical distribution of income (loss) and the impact of valuation allowance changes related to the realizability of our U.S. state net operating loss deferred tax assets.
NetAs of May 30, 2026, net deferred tax assets related to domestic state net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards amounted to approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million as of May 31, 2025 and $1.8 million as of June 1, 2024.2025. Net deferred tax assets related to foreign NOL carryforwards were $0.3 million as of May 30, 2026 and $0.1 million as of both May 31, 2025 and June 1, 2024 with various or indefinite expiration dates. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025,2026, we increaseddecreased the valuation allowance on the state net operating losses by $0.6$0.5 million resulting in a total valuation allowance against state net operating losses of $1.7$1.2 million.
We have historically determined that undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. The deferred tax liabilities on the outside basis difference is now primarily withholding tax on future dividend distributions. There was no deferred tax liability related to undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries in fiscal 20252026 and less than $0.1 million in fiscal 2024.2025.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to support a more likely than not assertion that its deferred tax assets will be realized. A significant component of objective evidence evaluated was the cumulative income or loss incurred in each jurisdiction over the three-year period ended May 31,30, 2025.2026. We considered other positive evidence in determining the need for a valuation allowance in the U.S. including the subpart F and GILTI inclusions of our foreign earnings, the changes in our business performance in recent years and the utilization of federal NOLs. The weight of this positive evidence is sufficient to outweigh other negative evidence in evaluating our need for a valuation allowance in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. As a result of the positive evidence outweighing the negative evidence for the year ended May 31,30, 2025,2026, no additional valuation allowance on the U.S. federal deferred tax items was recorded. As of May 31,30, 2025,2026, we recorded ana additional $0.6$0.5 million valuation allowance decrease on state NOLs as there was more negativepositive evidence which limitedsupporting the Company’s ability to utilize the state NOLs, including thehigher anticipatedbook expirationincome ofin somefiscal state NOLs prior to utilization2026 and legislationfiscal restrictions2027 for some states.projections.
As of May 31,30, 2025,2026, a valuation allowance of $2.8 million was recorded, representing the portion of the deferred tax asset that management does not believe is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance as of JuneMay 1,31, 20242025 was $2.1$2.8 million. The valuation allowance relates to state NOLs ($1.7$1.2 million) and deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions where historical taxable losses have been incurred ($1.1$1.6 million). The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.
Income taxes paid/(refunded), including foreign estimated tax payments, were $1.8 million, less than $0.1 million and $4.8 million, during fiscal 2025, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.

Subsequent to year end, on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. Key income tax-related provisions of the OBBBA relevant to the Company include the removal of mandatory capitalization of domestic research and development expenditures, permanent extension of bonus depreciation and revisions to international tax regimes. The Company is evaluating the financial implications of the OBBBA and will begin reflecting its effects in its first quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company estimates that the legislation will not have a material impact on its effective income tax rate in future periods relative to prior periods.

The impactextent to which of these changes in trade policies may impact our business will depend on various factors, including (i) when trade measures are implemented, (ii) the ultimate amount, scope, nature, and duration of tariffs and other trade measures, and (iii) the extent to which the Company can mitigate impacts and pass on any increased costs associated with these changes. In addition, the impact of trade disruptions on general economic conditions and demand for electronic components is difficult to predict.

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)
We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and the second quarter of fiscal 2025, respectively. The effective income tax benefit rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was 38.3% as compared to 28.8% during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. The difference in rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2025 reflects changes in our geographical distribution of income (loss). The 38.3% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss) and the utilization of the U.S. research and development credit.

The Company's reserve for uncertain tax positions totaled $0.3 million as of NovemberFebruary 29,28, 2025,2026, and May 31, 2025. We record interest related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) Income.. Accrued interest was included within the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have recorded a liability of less than $0.1 million for interest as of NovemberFebruary 29,28, 20252026 and May 31, 2025.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance representing the portion of the deferred tax asset that management does not believe is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance was $2.9 million as of NovemberFebruary 29,28, 2025,2026, and $2.8 million as of May 31, 2025. The valuation allowance relates to state NOLs ($1.7 million) and deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions where historical taxable losses have been incurred ($1.2 million). The amount of the deferred tax asset that is not considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.
We have considered the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) on the Company’s annual effective tax rate. The impact of OBBBA on the annual effective tax rate includes the reduction in the research and development credit from the Section 280c election. These changes did not have a significant impact to the annual effective tax rate. However, the enactment of the OBBBA introduced several significant tax law modifications that, while not affecting the annual effective tax rate, do have other implications for the Company. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation and domestic research cost expensing pursuant to IRC §174 for fiscal year beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company ishas currently evaluatingreflected the futurechange impactin tax law in its annual effective tax rate through the reduction of OBBBA on its financialresearch position.and development credit under IRC Section 41 through the IRC Section 280C(c)(2) election. The Company will evaluate other OBBBA-related items at year end as part of determining taxable income, including bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing pursuant to IRC §174, and any other applicable elections available under OBBBA.
