*We periodically assess the estimated useful lives of our property, plant and equipment. Based on our assessment of test equipment and its increased interchangeability enabling broader and longer use, we extended the estimated useful lives of test equipment from five years to seven years as of January 1, 2024. As a result, depreciation expense was reduced by approximately $15 million and $45 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. This benefited net income by approximately $12 million and $37 million and diluted earnings per share by $0.04 and $0.15 for each period, respectively.
