9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements are not included herein. The financial statements are prepared on a consistent basis (including normal recurring adjustments) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“Form 10-K”), filed by Helios with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements are reflected in the interim periods presented. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company sells certain products that contain embedded software that is integral to the functionality of the products. Internal and external costs incurred for developing this software are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established, at which point the development costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs primarily include payroll, benefits and other headcount related expenses. Once the products are available for general release to customers, no additional costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $8.2 and $5.6 at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

In March 2020, and clarified through December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The guidance was effective immediately upon issuance in March 2020 and cannot be applied subsequent to December 31, 2024, except for certain optional expedients. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. In March 2023, the Company executed an amendment to the term loan and revolving credit facility to modify and replace reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). Additionally in March 2023, the company executed an amendment to the interest rate swap agreements to modify and replace reference to LIBOR. The company applied the accounting relief in accordance with ASC 848 as the relevant contract and hedge accounting relationship modifications were executed. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our accounting policies or consolidated financial statements.
