Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Coherent Corp. (“Coherent”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K dated August 29, 2022. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of June 30, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
The Company is closely monitoring the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors on all aspects of our business, including the impact to our employees, suppliers and customers, as well as the impact to our supply chain and the countries and markets in which Coherent operates. In particular, the Company is continuing to focus intensely on mitigating any resulting adverse impacts on our foreign and domestic operations, starting by prioritizing the safety of our employees, suppliers and customers.
Note 2. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients to ease the potential burden of accounting for the effects of reference rate reform as it pertains to contract modifications of debt and lease contracts and derivative contracts identified in a hedging relationship. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, to extend the temporary accounting rules under Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements relative to our floating rate debt, our interest rate swap and our interest rate cap.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than adjust them to fair value at the acquisition date. We have adopted this accounting standard as of July 1, 2022. The acquisition of Coherent, Inc. has been accounted for in accordance with ASU 2021-08, as will any future acquisitions. Results of operations for quarterly periods prior to adoption remain unchanged as a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-08. Refer to Note 3. Coherent Acquisition for further information.
Note 3. Coherent Acquisition
On July 1, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Coherent, Inc. (the “Merger”), a global provider of lasers and laser-based technology for scientific, commercial, and industrial customers, in a combined cash and stock transaction in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 25, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and subject to the conditions set forth therein, each share of common stock of legacy Coherent, Inc. (“Legacy Coherent”), par value $0.01 per share (the “Legacy Coherent Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to July 1, 2022, was canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive $220.00 in cash and 0.91 of a share of Coherent's common stock, no par value (“Coherent Common Stock”).
Following the completion of the Legacy Coherent acquisition, the Company announced a new brand identity, including a corporate name change to Coherent Corp. (Nasdaq: COHR) on September 8, 2022.
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders, and other parties thereto, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for senior secured financing of $4.0 billion, consisting of a new term loan A credit facility (the “Term A Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $850 million a new term loan B credit facility (the “Term B Facility”) (and, together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Facilities”) in an aggregate principal amount of $2.8 billion, and a new revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate available amount of $350 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $50 million. For additional information on the credit facility refer to Note 8. Debt.
In order to complete the funding of the Merger, the Company had a net cash outflow of $2.1 billion on July 1, 2022. The Company recorded $10 million and $72 million of acquisition related costs in the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, representing professional and other direct acquisition costs. These costs are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss). Approximately 23 million shares of Coherent Common Stock in the aggregate were issued in conjunction with the closing of the Merger. Total preliminary Merger consideration was $7.1 billion, including replacement equity awards attributable to pre-combination service for certain Legacy Coherent restricted stock units.
The preliminary total fair value of consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of Coherent, Inc. consisted of the following (in $000):

The Company allocated the fair value of the preliminary purchase price consideration to the tangible assets, liabilities, and intangible assets acquired, generally based on estimated fair values. The excess preliminary purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Our valuation assumptions of acquired assets and assumed liabilities require significant estimates, especially with respect to intangible assets, inventories, property, plant & equipment and deferred income taxes. In determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company must make assumptions about the future performance of the acquired business, including among other things, the forecasted revenue growth attributable to the asset group and projected operating expenses inclusive of expected synergies, future cost savings, and other benefits expected to be achieved by combining the Company and Legacy Coherent. The Company’s intangible assets are comprised of trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, developed technology and backlog. The Company utilized widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches to perform the preliminary purchase price allocation. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships and backlog are determined using the multi-period excess earnings method and the estimated fair value of the trade names and trademarks and developed technology are determined using the relief from royalty method. Both methods require forward looking estimates that are discounted to determine the fair value of the intangible asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate that is reflective of the level of risk associated with future estimates associated with the asset group that could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
The purchase price allocation set forth is preliminary and will be revised as third party valuations are finalized or additional information becomes available during the measurement period, which could be up to 12 months from the Closing Date. Any such revisions or changes may be material. We expect to finalize pushdown accounting as soon as practicable, but no later than twelve months from the Closing Date.
Our preliminary allocation of the purchase price of Legacy Coherent, based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date, is as follows (in $000):

(i) The Company recorded measurement period adjustments to its preliminary acquisition date fair values due to the refinement of its valuation models, assumptions and inputs. The following measurement period adjustments were based upon information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized at that date.
(ii) The condensed combined balance sheet has been adjusted to record Legacy Coherent’s inventories at a preliminary fair value of approximately $564 million, an increase of $67 million from the preliminary fair value reported at September 30, 2022 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. The Condensed Combined Statement of Earnings (Loss) for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 includes cost of goods sold of approximately $112 million and $158 million, respectively, related to the increased basis in the preliminary fair value compared to the carrying value. The $112 million cost of goods sold recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2022 includes an increase of $33 million due to the measurement period adjustment which relates to a previous reporting period. The costs are being amortized over the expected period during which the acquired inventory is sold, the six months ended December 31, 2022, and thus are not anticipated to affect the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) beyond twelve months after the Closing Date.
(iii) The Company has adjusted its prepaid and refundable income taxes, deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability positions as of December 31, 2022, to $7 million, $0 million and $813 million, respectively, as a result of measurement period adjustments.
(iv) The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been adjusted to record Legacy Coherent’s property, plant and equipment (consisting of land, buildings and improvements, equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements) at a preliminary fair value of approximately $441 million, an increase of $17 million from the preliminary fair value reported at September 30, 2022 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) have been adjusted to recognize additional depreciation expense related to the increased basis. The additional depreciation expense is computed with the assumption that the various categories of assets will be depreciated over their remaining useful lives on a straight-line basis.
(v) Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the condensed combined balance sheet increased $1.1 billion from the preliminary fair value reported at September 30, 2022 with a corresponding decrease to goodwill. Intangibles amortization recorded in cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 was $6 million and $43 million, respectively, and included a reduction in the current quarter of $16 million due to the measurement period adjustment which relates to a previous reporting period. Intangibles amortization recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 was $80 million and $105 million, respectively, and included an increase in the current quarter of $27 million due to the measurement period adjustment which relates to a previous reporting period.
Preliminary identifiable intangible assets consist of the following and are being amortized over their estimated useful lives in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) (in $000):
| Preliminary Fair Value | Estimated Useful Life | ||||||||||
| Trade names and trademarks | $ | 430,000 | N/A | ||||||||

| Backlog | 87,500 | 1.0 year | |||||||||
| Intangible assets acquired | $ | 3,505,000 |
(vi) The Company recorded approximately $1 million of increases in other current liabilities and $1 million of decreases in other liabilities as measurement period adjustments.
Operating results, including goodwill and intangibles, of Legacy Coherent are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the Closing Date, within the Lasers segment. Revenues and net loss for the Lasers segment for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were $379 million and $171 million, respectively. Revenues and net loss for the Lasers segment for the six months ended December 31, 2022 were $772 million and $299 million, respectively. Goodwill in the amount of $3.1 billion arising from the acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies, including future cost savings, and other benefits expected to be generated by combining Coherent and Legacy Coherent. Substantially all of the goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Note 4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company believes that disaggregating revenue by end market provides the most relevant information regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows.
As of July 1, 2022, the Company disaggregates revenue into four end markets: industrial, communications, electronics and instrumentation. All prior period market and segment disclosure information has been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure.
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company updated the operating segments due to the closing of the Merger. In addition, prior year numbers were recast to reflect the transfer of two entities between the Networking and Materials segments. See Note 13. Segment Reporting for further details.
The following tables summarize disaggregated revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 ($000):

Senior Credit Facilities
On July 1, 2022, Coherent entered into a Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the lenders, and other parties thereto, and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for senior secured financing of $4.0 billion, consisting of a term loan A credit facility (“the Term A Facility”), with an aggregate principal amount of $850 million, a term loan B credit facility (“the Term B Facility” and, together with the Term A Facility, the “Term Facilities”), with an aggregate principal amount of $2,800 million, and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), in an aggregate available amount of $350 million, including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $50 million. The Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each bear interest at LIBOR subject to a 0.00% floor plus a range of 1.75% to 2.50%, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The Term A Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.00% as of December 31, 2022. The Term B Facility bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.75%. In relation to the Term Facilities, the Company incurred interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, of $61 million and $114 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).
Proceeds of the loans borrowed under the Term Facilities on July 1, 2022, together with other financing sources (including the net proceeds from Coherent's offer and sale of its 5.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) and cash on hand) were used to fund the cash portion of the Merger consideration, the repayment of certain indebtedness (including the repayment in full of all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement as defined below), and certain fees and expenses in connection with the Merger and otherwise for general corporate purposes.
The Company capitalized approximately $90 million of debt issuance costs during the six months ended December 31, 2022. These capitalized costs are presented as contra-debt within the long-term debt caption in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amortization of debt issuance costs related to the New Term Facilities for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 totaled $5 million and $9 million, respectively, and is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the New Term Facilities.
Prior Senior Credit Facilities
Through June 30, 2022, the Company had senior credit facilities (the “Prior Senior Credit Facilities”) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto.
The credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facilities (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) provided for senior secured financing of $2.4 billion in the aggregate, consisting of
(i)Aggregate principal amount of $1,255 million for a five-year senior secured first-lien term A loan facility (the “Prior Term A Facility”),
(ii)Aggregate principal amount of $720 million for a seven-year senior secured term B loan facility (the “Prior Term B Facility” and together with the Prior Term A Facility, the “Prior Term Loan Facilities”), which was repaid in full during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and
(iii)Aggregate principal amount of $450 million for a five-year senior secured first-lien revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolving Credit Facility” and together with the Prior Term Loan Facilities, the “Prior Senior Credit Facilities”).
The Prior Credit Agreement also provided for a letter of credit sub-facility not to exceed $25 million and a swing loan sub-facility initially not to exceed $20 million.
On July 1, 2022, the Company terminated the Prior Credit Agreement and repaid all amounts outstanding thereunder, of which $62 million was recorded as current portion of long-term debt and $933 million was recorded as long-term debt at June 30, 2022.
Debt extinguishment costs related to the termination of the Prior Credit Agreement of $17 million were expensed in other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss) during the six months ended December 31, 2022.
Bridge Loan Commitment
Subject to the terms of an amended and restated commitment letter entered into in connection with Coherent entering into the Merger Agreement, the commitment parties thereto committed to provide, in addition to the Term Facilities and the Revolving Credit Facility, a senior unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $990 million (the "Bridge Loan Commitment"). As a result of the issuance and sale of the Senior Notes, the Bridge Loan Commitment was terminated. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred expenses of $18 million, respectively, related to the termination of the Bridge Loan Commitment, which is included in other expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). There will be no additional expense related to the Bridge Loan Commitment going forward.
Debt Assumed through Acquisition
The Company assumed the remaining balances of three term loans with the closing of the Merger. The aggregate principal amount outstanding is $26 million as of December 31, 2022. The terms loans assumed consisted of the following: (i) 1.3% Term Loan due 2024, (ii) 1.0% State of Connecticut Term Loan due 2023, and (iii) Facility construction loan in Germany due 2030. For the Facility construction loan, on December 21, 2020, Coherent LaserSystems GmbH & Co. KG entered into a loan agreement with Commerzbank for borrowings of up to 24 million Euros, which were drawn down by October 29, 2021, to finance a portion of the construction of a new facility in Germany. The term of the loan is 10 years, and borrowings bear interest at 1.55% per annum. Payments are made quarterly.
5.000% Senior Notes due 2029
On December 10, 2021, the Company issued and sold $990 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes pursuant to the indenture, dated as of December 10, 2021 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Senior Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable on December 15 and June 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2022, at a rate of 5.000% per annum. The Senior Notes will mature on December 15, 2029*.*
On or after December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem the Senior Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to December 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes using the proceeds of certain equity offerings as set forth in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 105.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.
In relation to the Senior Notes, the Company incurred interest expense of $13 million and $25 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).
The Indenture contains customary covenants and events of default, including default relating to among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the Indenture or the Senior Notes and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.
0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022
In August 2017, the Company issued and sold $345 million aggregate principal amount of its 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Beginning on June 1, 2022 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”), holders were able to convert their Convertible Notes at any time. For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, the holders of the Convertible Notes converted $332 million of principal, which was recorded as current portion of long-term debt at June 30, 2022, and received approximately 7 million shares of Coherent Common Stock in settlement of the conversions.
On the Maturity Date, $4 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes remained outstanding, and was repaid in cash, and the Convertible Notes are no longer outstanding. At the Maturity Date, the accrued interest on the Coherent Convertible Notes was immaterial. The total interest expense related to the Convertible Notes was immaterial for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Aggregate Availability
The Company had aggregate availability of $350 million under its Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022.
Note 9. Income Taxes
The Company’s year-to-date effective income tax rate at December 31, 2022 was 29% compared to an effective tax rate of 16% for the same period in 2021. The variations between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% were due to nondeductible expenses and tax rate differentials between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
U.S. GAAP prescribes the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements which includes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company’s gross unrecognized income tax benefit, excluding interest and penalties, was $71 million and $37 million, respectively. The Company has classified the uncertain tax positions as non-current income tax liabilities, as the amounts are not expected to be paid within one year. If recognized, $32 million of the gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022 would impact the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). The amount of accrued interest and penalties included in the gross unrecognized income tax benefit was $6 million and $3 million at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Fiscal years 2019 to 2022 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, fiscal years 2018 to 2022 remain open to examination by certain state jurisdictions, and fiscal years 2011 to 2022 remain open to examination by certain foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination for certain subsidiary companies in California for the years ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2019; Colorado for the years ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2021; Vietnam for the years ended September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2021; India for the year ended March 31, 2016; Singapore for the year ended September 30, 2020; and Germany for the years ended June 30, 2012 through September 30, 2020. The Company believes its income tax reserves for these tax matters are adequate.
Note 10. Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception for arrangements with an initial term of more than 12 months, and classify it as either finance or operating.
Finance leases are generally those that allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated useful life. Finance lease assets are recorded in property, plant and equipment, net, and finance lease liabilities within other accrued liabilities and other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance lease assets are amortized in operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, with the interest component for lease liabilities included in interest expense and recognized using the effective interest method over the lease term.
Operating leases are recorded in other assets and operating lease liabilities, current and non-current on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease assets are amortized on a straight-line basis in operating expenses over the lease term.
The Company’s lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining fixed lease payments, over the lease term, using a discount rate of similarly secured borrowings available to the Company. For the purpose of lease liability measurement, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. Any variable payments that depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. The Company accounts for non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, as a component of the lease, and includes it in the initial measurement of leased assets and corresponding liabilities. The Company’s lease terms and conditions may include options to extend or terminate. An option is recognized when it is reasonably certain that Coherent will exercise that option.
The Company’s lease assets also include any lease payments made and exclude any lease incentives received prior to commencement. Our lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations.
The following table presents lease costs, which include leases for arrangements with an initial term of more than 12 months, lease term, and discount rates ($000):

Note 11. Equity and Redeemable Preferred Stock
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
In July 2020, the Company issued 2.3 million shares of 6.00% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred, no par value per share (“Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”).
Unless previously converted, each outstanding share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert on the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) into a number of shares of Coherent Common Stock equal to not more than 4.6512 shares and not less than 3.8760 shares (the “Minimum Conversion Rate”), depending on the applicable market value of the Coherent Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
Other than in the event of one of certain fundamental changes, a holder of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock may, at any time prior to July 1, 2023, elect to convert such holder's shares, in whole or in part, at a Minimum Conversion Rate per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
If one of certain fundamental changes occurs on or prior to July 1, 2023, holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to convert their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into shares of Coherent Common Stock at the conversion rate determined in accordance with the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock during the period beginning on, and including, the effective date of such change and ending on, and including, the date that is 20 calendar days after the effective date of such fundamental change (or, if later, the date that is 20 calendar days after holders receive notice of such fundamental change, but in no event later than July 1, 2023). Holders who convert their shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock during that period will also receive a dividend make-whole amount and, to the extent there is any, the accumulated dividend amount, in each case as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Company recognized $7 million and $14 million of preferred stock dividends for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, associated with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company recognized $7 million and $14 million of preferred stock dividends for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, associated with the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The preferred dividends were presented as a reduction to retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022.

Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
In March 2021, the Company issued 75,000 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share ("Series B-1 Preferred Stock").
The shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Coherent Common Stock as follows:
-
at the election of the holder, at an initial conversion price of $85 per share (as it may be adjusted from time to time, the “Conversion Price”) upon the delivery by Coherent to the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock of an offer to repurchase the Series B-1 Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock as defined below); and
-
at the election of the Company, any time following March 31, 2024 at the then-applicable Conversion Price if the volume-weighted average price of Coherent Common Stock exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for 20 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days.
The issued shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock currently have voting rights, voting as one class with the Coherent Common Stock and the Series B-2 Preferred Stock (as defined below), on an as-converted basis, subject to limited exceptions.
On or at any time after March 31, 2031:
-
each holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all of their Coherent Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, for cash, at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of the Stated Value (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock) for such shares plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value (such price the “Redemption Price,” and such right the “Put Right”); and
-
the Company has the right to redeem, in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis from all holders based on the aggregate number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding, for cash, at the Redemption Price.
In connection with any Fundamental Change (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock), and subject to the procedures set forth in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company must, or will cause the survivor of a Fundamental Change to, make an offer to repurchase, at the option and election of the holder thereof, each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock then-outstanding at a purchase price per share in cash equal to (i) the Stated Value for such shares plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value as of the date of repurchase plus (ii) if prior to March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of all dividends that would have been paid (subject to certain exceptions), from the date of repurchase through March 31, 2026.
If the Company defaults on a payment obligation with respect to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and such default is not cured within 30 days, the dividend rate will increase to 8% per annum and will be increased by an additional 2% per annum each quarter the Company remains in default, not to exceed 14% per annum.
The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash outside of the control of the Company upon the exercise of the Put Right, and upon a Fundamental Change, and is therefore classified as mezzanine equity.
The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is initially measured at fair value less issuance costs, accreted to its redemption value over a 10-year period (using the effective interest method) with such accretion accounted for as deemed dividends and reductions to Net Earnings Available to Common Shareholders.
Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock
On July 1, 2022, the Company issued 140,000 shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per share (“Series B-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the “Series B Preferred Stock”).
The shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Coherent Common Stock as follows:
-
at the election of the holder the Conversion Price upon the delivery by Coherent to the holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock of an offer to repurchase the Coherent Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock); and
-
at the election of the Company, any time following July 1, 2025 at the then-applicable Conversion Price if the volume-weighted average price of Coherent Common Stock exceeds 150% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for 20 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days.
The issued shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock currently have voting rights, voting as one class with the Coherent Common Stock and the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, on an as-converted basis, subject to limited exceptions.
On or at any time after July 1, 2032:
-
each holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all of their Series B-2 Preferred Stock, for cash, at a redemption price per share equal to the sum of the Stated Value for such shares (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock) plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value (such price the “Redemption Price,” and such right the “Put Right”); and
-
the Company has the right to redeem, in whole or in part, on a pro rata basis from all holders based on the aggregate number of shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock outstanding, for cash, at the Redemption Price.
In connection with any Fundamental Change, and subject to the procedures set forth in the Statement with Respect to Shares establishing the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company must, or will cause the survivor of a Fundamental Change to, make an offer to repurchase, at the option and election of the holder thereof, each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock then-outstanding at a purchase price per share in cash equal to (i) the Stated Value for such shares plus an amount equal to all accrued or declared and unpaid dividends on such shares that had not previously been added to the Stated Value as of the date of repurchase plus (ii) if prior to July 1, 2027, the aggregate amount of all dividends that would have been paid (subject to certain exceptions), from the date of repurchase through July 1, 2027.
If the Company defaults on a payment obligation with respect to the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and such default is not cured within 30 days, the dividend rate will increase to 8% per annum and will be increased by an additional 2% per annum each quarter the Company remains in default, not to exceed 14% per annum.
The Series B-2 Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash outside of the control of the Company upon the exercise of the Put Right, and upon a Fundamental Change, and is therefore classified as mezzanine equity.
The Series B-2 Preferred Stock is initially measured at fair value less issuance costs, accreted to its redemption value over a 10-year period (using the effective interest method) with such accretion accounted for as deemed dividends and reductions to Net Earnings Available to Common Shareholders.
The Company recognized $29 million and $58 million of preferred stock dividends related to the Series B Preferred Stock for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized $10 million and $20 million of preferred stock dividends related to the Series B Preferred Stock for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. The preferred stock dividends were presented as a reduction to retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022.

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the diluted earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, as the Company was in a net loss position, no dilution was included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share.
Potentially dilutive shares whose effect would have been anti-dilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, diluted earnings (loss) per share excluded the potentially dilutive effect of the performance and restricted shares, calculated based on the average stock price for each fiscal period, using the treasury stock method, as well as the shares of Coherent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible debt, the Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (under the If-Converted method), as their effects were anti-dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 ($000):

Note 13. Segment Reporting
The Company reports its business segments using the “management approach” model for segment reporting. This means that the Company determines its reportable business segments based on the way the chief operating decision-maker organizes business segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
On July 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Legacy Coherent. See Note 3. Coherent Acquisition for further information. The operating results of Legacy Coherent are reflected in the Lasers segment.
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company reports its financial results in the following three segments: (i) Networking, (ii) Materials, and (iii) Lasers. Previously, financial results had been reported in the following two segments: (i) Photonic Solutions and (ii) Compound Semiconductors. The Networking segment represents the former Photonic Solutions segment and the Materials segment represents the former Compound Semiconductors segment.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker receives and reviews financial information based on these three segments. The Company evaluates business segment performance based upon segment operating income, which is defined as earnings before income taxes, interest and other income or expense. The segments are managed separately due to the market, production requirements and facilities unique to each segment.
The accounting policies are consistent across each segment. To the extent possible, the Company’s corporate expenses and assets are allocated to the segments. The expenses associated with the Legacy Coherent acquisition for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 are wholly allocated to the Lasers segment. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, the expenses associated with the acquisition of Legacy Coherent were not allocated to an operating segment, and were presented in Unallocated and Other. In addition, prior year numbers were recast to reflect the transfer of two entities between the Networking and Materials segments.

Note 14. Share-Based Compensation
Stock Award Plans
The Company’s Board of Directors amended and restated the Coherent Corp. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which originally was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Annual Meeting in November 2018 (as amended and restated, the "Plan"). The Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Annual Meeting in November 2020. The Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred shares, performance shares and performance share units to employees, officers and directors of the Company. The maximum number of shares of Coherent Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan is limited to 9,550,000 shares of Coherent Common Stock, not including any remaining shares forfeited under the predecessor plans that may be rolled into the Plan. The Plan has vesting provisions predicated upon the death, retirement or disability of the grantee.
On the Closing Date, the Company assumed 403,675 Legacy Coherent restricted stock units ("Converted RSUs"). The Converted RSUs are generally subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the RSUs immediately prior to the Closing Date. Other than the assumed Converted RSUs, Coherent did not assume any other awards outstanding under Legacy Coherent equity incentive plans. On the Closing Date, Coherent assumed the unused capacity under Legacy Coherent equity incentive plan, which totaled 10,959,354 shares of issuable Coherent Common Stock.

Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The FASB 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 markets for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments utilizing an established three-level hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:
-
Level 1 –Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
-
Level 2 –Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
-
Level 3 –Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.
The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement.
The Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $1,075 million to limit the exposure to its variable interest rate debt by effectively converting it to a fixed interest rate. The Company receives payments based on the one-month LIBOR and makes payments based on a fixed rate of 1.52%. The Company receives payments with a floor of 0.00%. The interest rate swap agreement has an effective date of November 24, 2019, with an expiration date of September 24, 2024. The initial notional amount of the interest rate swap was decreased to $825 million in June 2022 and will remain at that amount through the expiration date. The Company designated this instrument as a cash flow hedge and deemed the hedge relationship effective at inception of the contract. The fair value of the interest rate swap of $43 million is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within prepaid and other current assets and other assets as of December 31, 2022. Changes in fair value are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss) as interest expense in the period in which the underlying transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from hedging activities are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the same classification as the hedged item, generally as a component of cash flows from operations. The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap including the period to maturity, and while there are no quoted prices in active markets, it uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value analysis also considers a credit valuation adjustment to reflect nonperformance risk of both the Company and the single counterparty. The interest rate swap is classified as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy.
On February 23, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap ("the Cap") with an effective date of July 1, 2023. The Cap manages the Company's exposure to interest rate movements on a portion of the Company's floating rate debt. The Cap provides the Company with the right to receive payment if one-month LIBOR exceeds 1.85%. Beginning in July 2023, the Company will begin to pay a fixed monthly premium based on an annual rate of 0.853% for the Cap. The Cap will carry a notional amount ranging from $500 million to $1,500 million. The fair value of the interest rate cap of $38 million is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within other assets as of December 31, 2022.
The Cap is designed to mirror the terms of the Credit Agreement as of the effective date, or its direct replacement. The Company designated the Cap as a cash flow hedge of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on the Term Loan Facilities. Every period over the life of the hedging relationship, the entire change in fair value related to the hedging instrument will first be recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into interest expense in the same period or periods in which interest expense is recognized on the Credit Agreement, or its direct replacement. The fair value of the Cap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflects the contractual terms of the Cap including the period to maturity, and while there are no quoted prices in active markets, it uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The Cap is classified as a Level 2 item within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company estimated the fair value of the Senior Notes based on quoted market prices as of the last trading day prior to December 31, 2022; however, the Senior Notes have only a limited trading volume and as such this fair value estimate is not necessarily the value at which the Senior Notes could be retired or transferred. The Company concluded that this fair value measurement should be categorized within Level 2. The carrying value of the Senior Notes is net of unamortized discount and issuance costs. See Note 8. Debt for details on the Company’s debt facilities.
The fair value and carrying value of the Convertible Notes and Senior Notes were as followed ($000):
| December 31, 2022 | June 30, 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Convertible Notes | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 382,601 | $ | 341,162 | |||||||||||||||
| Senior Notes | $ | 857,142 | $ | 982,692 | $ | 865,527 | $ | 982,297 |
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1 among the fair value hierarchy and approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. The Company’s borrowings including its lease obligations and the Senior Notes, are considered Level 2 among the fair value hierarchy and their principal amounts approximate fair value.
The Company, from time to time, purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts, that permit it to transact specified amounts of these foreign currencies for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates that represent assets or liabilities on the balance sheets of certain subsidiaries. These contracts are entered into for the purpose of limiting translational exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and which otherwise would expose the Company's earnings, on the revaluation of its aggregate net assets or liabilities in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk. At December 31, 2022, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts recorded at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. Realized gains related to these contracts for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 were $28 million and $5 million, respectively, and were included in other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).
Note 16. Share Repurchase Programs
In August 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $50 million of Coherent Common Stock through a share repurchase program (the “Program”) that calls for shares to be purchased in the open market or in private transactions from time to time. The Program has no expiration and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares purchased by the Company are retained as treasury stock and available for general corporate purposes. The Company did not repurchase any shares pursuant to this Program during the quarter ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has cumulatively purchased 1,416,587 shares of Coherent Common Stock pursuant to the Program for approximately $22 million. The dollar value of shares as of December 31, 2022 that may yet be purchased under the Program is approximately $28 million.
Note 17. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) by component, net of tax, for the six months ended December 31, 2022 were as follows ($000):
