(Nasdaq: BELFA and BELFB) today announced preliminary financial results for the third quarter of 2024.\nThird Quarter 2024 Highlights\n\nNet sales of $123.6 million compared to $158.7 million in Q3-23\nGross profit margin of 36.1%, up from 35.0% in Q3-23\nNet earnings of $8.1 million versus $19.4 million in Q3-23\nAdjusted EBITDA of $20.6 million (16.7% of sales) as compared to $29.9 million (18.8% of sales) in Q3-23\nRepurchased 26,647 shares of Bel stock at an aggregate cost of $1.9 million in Q3-24\n\n“We were pleased that our third quarter results landed above the midpoint of guidance for both sales and gross margin,” said Daniel Bernstein, President and CEO. “Each of our three product segments performed as expected, given the current market, regulatory and seasonal factors outlined in last quarter's disclosures and on the Q2 earnings call.\n“During the third quarter, the team focused on a variety of operational and other internal initiatives. With our announcement of the signing our definitive purchase agreement in September, we welcomed Enercon to the Bel family and are positioned to introduce new customers, end markets and geographies to our Power segment upon the closing expected later this quarter. In a project scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of 2025, our fuse manufacturing, located in China, will be consolidated into other existing Bel facilities thus reducing our footprint further. The fuse initiative is anticipated to achieve annual cost savings of approximately $1.5 million once completed. We are also pleased to announce the addition of two senior associates in newly-created positions to Bel’s corporate team. Uma Pengali has joined as Global Head of Sales and Marketing and Anubhav Gothi has joined as Bel’s Global Head of Contracts. We believe Uma and Anubhav will be instrumental contributors to Bel’s long-term success,” concluded Mr. Bernstein.\nFarouq Tuweiq, CFO, added, “We have started to see positive trends in bookings during the months of September and October across each of our product segments, which is a positive indicator as we enter 2025. These green shoots are largely in our networking and industrial markets, and in the distribution channel. Looking to the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect GAAP net sales in the range of $117 to $125 million with gross margins of approximately 34 - 36%, based on information available as of today. This guidance excludes any potential incremental contribution related to the previously-announced acquisition of Enercon, which is expected to close during the fourth quarter.\n“Overall, we are encouraged by the sequential improvement in market conditions that we are seeing and believe this will bode well for 2025. We are excited to continue our journey of growth and continuous improvement with our new team members,” concluded Mr. Tuweiq.\nNon-GAAP financial measures, such as Non-GAAP net earnings, Non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, adjust corresponding GAAP measures for provision for income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization, and also exclude, where applicable for the covered period presented in the financial statements, certain unusual or special items identified by management such as restructuring charges, gains/losses on sales of businesses and properties, acquisition related costs, and certain litigation costs. Non-GAAP adjusted net sales exclude expedite fee revenue. Please refer to the financial information included with this press release for reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to Non-GAAP financial measures and our explanation of why we present Non-GAAP financial measures.\nConference CallBel has scheduled a conference call for 8:30 a.m. ET on Thursday, October 24, 2024 to discuss these results.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Bel’s control. Bel’s actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in our forward-looking statements (including without limitation any of Bel’s projections) due to a number of factors, including but not limited to, unanticipated difficulties, delays or expenditures relating to the proposed Enercon acquisition, including, without limitation, difficulties that result in the failure to realize the expected benefits and synergies within the expected time period (if at all); disruptions of Bel’s or Enercon’s current plans, operations and relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors, business partners and regulators caused by the announcement and pendency of the proposed Enercon acquisition; potential difficulties in employee retention due to the announcement and pendency of the proposed Enercon acquisition; the possibility that the proposed Enercon acquisition does not close, including, but not limited to, failure to satisfy the closing conditions; the market concerns facing our customers, and risks for the Company’s business in the event of the loss of certain substantial customers; the continuing viability of sectors that rely on our products; the effects of business and economic conditions, and challenges impacting the macroeconomic environment generally and/or our industry in particular; the effects of rising input costs, and cost changes generally, including the potential impact of inflationary pressures; difficulties associated with integrating previously acquired companies, and any difficulties that may be experienced in integrating Enercon following the closing of the Enercon acquisition; capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, including supply chain constraints or other challenges; the impact of public health crises (such as the governmental, social and economic effects of COVID or other future epidemics or pandemics); difficulties associated with the availability of labor, and the risks of any labor unrest or labor shortages; risks associated with our international operations, including our substantial manufacturing operations in China, and following the acquisition of Enercon, risks associated with operations in Israel, which may be adversely affected by political or economic instability, major hostilities or acts of terrorism in the region; risks associated with restructuring programs or other strategic initiatives, including any difficulties in implementation or realization of the expected benefits or cost savings; product development, commercialization or technological difficulties; the regulatory and trade environment including the potential effects of trade restrictions that may impact Bel, its customers and/or its suppliers; risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates; uncertainties associated with legal proceedings; the market's acceptance of the Company's new products and competitive responses to those new products; the impact of changes to U.S. and applicable foreign legal and regulatory requirements, including tax laws, trade and tariff policies; and the risks detailed in Bel’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in subsequent reports filed by Bel with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other documents that may be filed by Bel from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of the risks and uncertainties impacting our business, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will in fact prove to be correct. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The forward-looking statements included in this press release represent Bel’s views as of the date of this press release. Bel anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change.

Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly-titled captions of other companies due to differences in the method of calculation. We present results adjusted to exclude the effects of certain unusual or special items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under U.S. GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similarly situated companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. We also use non-GAAP measures in determining incentive compensation. For additional information about our use of non-GAAP financial measures in connection with our Incentive Compensation Program for 2023, please see the Executive Compensation discussion appearing in our Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2024.\nWebsite InformationWe routinely post important information for investors on our website, www.belfuse.com, in the \"Investor Relations\" section. We use our website as a means of disclosing material, otherwise non-public information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.

this press release and supplemental information, we have included Non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP adjusted net sales, Non-GAAP net earnings, Non-GAAP EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We present results adjusted to exclude the effects of certain specified items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes.

We present results adjusted to exclude the effects of certain specified items and their related tax impact that would otherwise be included under GAAP, to aid in comparisons with other periods. We believe that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analysis and for budgeting and planning purposes. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other similarly situated companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. We also use non-GAAP measures in determining incentive compensation.
