Fiscal Years
The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th. The Company’s fiscal 20192020 is a 52-week year ending on June 29, 2019.27, 2020. The Company’s fiscal 20182019 was a 52-week year ending on June 30, 2018.29, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of net revenues and expenses and the disclosure of commitments and contingencies during the reporting periods. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and assumptions about future periods that are believed to be reasonable based on available information. The Company’s reported financial positions or results of operations may be materially different under changed conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to significant accounting policies. If estimates or assumptions differ from actual results, subsequent periods are adjusted to reflect readily available current information.
Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard updateguidance on the financial reporting requirements for leasing arrangements, ASC 842 - Leases. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize operating leases with a term greater than one year on their balance sheets as Right-of-Use (“ASU”ROU”) that requires a statementassets and corresponding lease liabilities, measured at the present value of cash flows to present the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.lease payments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we2020 the Company adopted this ASUstandard using athe modified retrospective approach. The Company elected to apply the optional transition method. Accordingly, our consolidated statementapproach of cash flowsnot adjusting comparative period financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, as presented herein, has been restated to comply with the new requirements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition from contracts with customers, ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “revenue standard”). The new guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.adoption impact. The Company adoptedalso elected the new standard effective in the first quarterpackage of fiscal 2019 using the retrospective transition method, which required the Companypractical expedients to recast each prior periodnot reassess whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and accounting for

The primary impacts to the previously issued amounts are as follows:
Accounts receivable, net: initial direct costs. Adoption of the new revenueleasing standard resulted in $35.5 million of ROU assets and $37.0 million of lease liabilities. In addition, the Company recorded an increaseadjustment to accounts receivable,accumulative deficit, net primarily due toof taxes, of $3.0 million from the following two items: 1) The return rights provision, which represents a liability for expected customer returns, was previously presented as a reduction to accounts receivable and is now presented in other current liabilities; and, 2) Contract assets which are recorded when a conditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred in advance of the Company’s right to invoice. Upon adoption of ASC 606, contract assets, which were previously presented as a component of accounts receivable, net, are now presented as a component of prepayments and other current assets.

Prepayments and other current assets: As noted above, contract assets, which are recognized when a conditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred in advance of the Company’s right to invoice. Upon adoption of ASC 606, contract assets are presented as a component of prepayments and other current assets.

Other non-current assets: The costs of obtaining contracts where the amortization period for recognition of the expense is beyond a year, are capitalizedpreviously deferred profit under sale-leaseback arrangements and recognized over the revenue recognition periodde-recognition of the original contract. These costs are now classified as other non-current assets.

Short-termrelated real estate assets of $7.1 million and long-term deferred revenue: Adoptionfinancing obligations of $10.1 million. The adoption of the new revenue standard resulted indid not have a decrease of deferred revenue primarily due to the net change in timing of software related revenue. Under the previous standard revenue for software license sales bundled with post-contract support and/or services where vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value had not been established was recognized ratably over the support period. Upon adoption of ASC 606 the revenue related to such software license sales will now be recognized when control transfers, which is usually at the time of billing. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under the standard will depend on contract-specific terms and in some instances, transfer of control and revenue recognition may differ from the time of billing. Long-term deferred revenue is presented under other non-current liabilities.

Other current liabilities: The returns provision, which represents a liability for expected customer returns, was previously presented as a reduction of accounts receivable and is now presented as other current liabilities.

The impacts to the previously reported amounts are summarized, as follows:
Net revenue: Adoption of the revenue standard resulted in a change in the timing of revenue recognized primarily due to the treatment of software license revenue. Under the prior standard, if vendor-specific objective evidence had not been established for the post contract support and/or the services, software license revenue would have been recognized ratably over the support period. Upon adoption of ASC 606, revenue related to such software license sales will now be recognized when control transfers which is usually at the time of billing. The decrease in revenue for the period presented above is primarily the result of the elimination of ratable software license revenue. Such license revenue was previously amortized; however it is now recognized at a point in time under the new standard.“Note 12. Leases.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. Some of the changes include adding a disclosure requirement for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period and removing the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of FASB ASC - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The update includes new, eliminated and modified disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. The new guidance also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding both operating and financing leases, requiring lessees to recognize on their balance sheets “right-of-use assets” and corresponding lease liabilities, measured on a discounted basis over the lease term. Virtually all leases will be subject to this treatment except leases that meet the definition of a “short-term lease.” The guidance requires a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides entities another option for transition, allowing entities to not apply the new standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. While the Company is not yet in a position to assess the full impact of the application of the new guidance, the Company expects adoption of this guidance will materially increase the assets and liabilities recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Note 3. Revenue
In the first quarter ofThe Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which was adopted in fiscal 2019 the Company adopted the revenue standard using the retrospective transition method which requires the Company to recast each prior period presented.method. The most significant impact of theCompany’s revenue standard relates to our accounting for contracts containing software. As a result, for software solutions bundled with post-contract support (“PCS”) and/or services where vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) has not been established for the PCS and/or services. Revenue will now be recognized when control transfers which is usually at time of billing rather than ratably over the life of the support term. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under the standard will depend on contract-specific terms and in some instances transfer of control and revenue recognition may differ from the time of billing. Revenue recognition under the revenue standard for the remainder of the Company’s products and services remains substantially unchanged.
The Company derives revenuederived from a diverse portfolio of network solutions and optical technology products and services, as follows:
Products: Network Enablement (“NE”) and Service Enablement (“SE”) products include instruments, microprobes and perpetual software licenses that support the development, production, maintenance and optimization of network systems. The Company’s Optical Security and Performance (“OSP”) products include proprietary pigments used for optical security and optical filters used in commercial and government 3D Sensing applications.
Services: The Company also offers a range of product support and professional services designed to comprehensively address customer requirements. These include repair, calibration, extended warranty, software support, technical assistance, training and consulting services. Implementation services provided in conjunction with hardware or software solution projects include sale of the products along with project management, set-up and installation.

Steps of revenue recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with the revenue standard, in which the following five steps are applied to recognize revenue:
1.
Identify the contract with a customer: Generally, the Company considers customer purchase orders which, in some cases are governed by master sales or other purchase agreements, to be the customer contract. All of the following criteria must be met before the Company considers an agreement to qualify as a contract with a customer under the revenue standard: (i) it must be approved by all parties; (ii) each party’s rights regarding the goods and services to be transferred can be identified; (iii) the payment terms for the goods and services can be identified; (iv) the customer has the ability and intent to pay and collection of substantially all of the consideration is probable; and, (v) the agreement has commercial substance. The Company utilizes judgment to determine the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based upon various factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or credit and financial information and credit risk management measures implemented by the Company.
2.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract: The Company assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct for the purpose of identifying the various performance obligations in each contract. Promised goods and services are considered distinct provided that: (i) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and, (ii) the Company's promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable or distinct from other promises in the contract. The Company's performance obligations consist of a variety of products and services offerings which include networking equipment; proprietary pigment, optical filters, proprietary software licenses; support and maintenance which includes hardware support that extends beyond the Company's standard warranties, software maintenance, installation, professional and implementation services, and training.
Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations may require significant judgment. We may enter into contracts that involve a significant level of integration and interdependency between a software license and installation services. Judgment may be required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct in the context of the contract and accounted for separately, or not distinct in the context of the contract and accounted for together with the installation service.
3.
Determine the transaction price: Transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The Company’s contracts may include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price including rebates, sales returns, market incentives and volume discounts. Variable consideration is generally accounted for at the portfolio level and estimated based on historical information. If a contract includes a variable amount, the price adjustments are estimated at contract inception. In both cases, estimates are updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available.
4.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract: If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. Many of the Company’s contracts include multiple performance obligations with a combination of distinct products and services, maintenance and support, professional services and/or training. Contracts may also include rights or options to acquire future products and/or services, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations by the Company, only if the right or option provides the customer with a material right that it would not receive without entering into the contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction value to each distinct performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The best evidence of SSP is the observable price of a good or service when the Company sells that good or service separately under similar circumstances to similar customers. If a directly observable price is not available, the SSP must be estimated based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, historical pricing practices, internal costs, and profit objectives as well as overall market conditions.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

5.
Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied: Revenue is recognized at the point in time control is transferred to the customer. For hardware sales, transfer of control to the customer typically occurs at the point the product is shipped or delivered to the customer’s designated location. For software license sales transfer of control to the customer typically occurs upon shipment, electronic delivery, or when the software is available for download by the customer. For sales of implementation service and solution contracts or in instances where software is sold along with essential installation services, transfer of control occurs and revenue is typically recognized upon customer acceptance. In certain instances, acceptance is deemed to have occurred if all acceptance provisions lapse, or if the Company has evidence that all acceptance provisions will be, or have been, satisfied. For fixed-price support and extended warranty contracts, or certain software arrangements which provide customers with a right to access over a discrete period, control is deemed to transfer over time and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term due to the stand-ready nature of the performance obligation. Revenue from hardware repairs and calibration services is recognized at the time of completion of the related service. For other professional services or time-based labor contracts, revenue is recognized as the Company performs the services and the customers receive and/or consume the benefits.
Revenue policy and practical expedients
The following policy and practical expedient elections have been made by the Company under the revenue standard:
Revenue-based taxes as assessed by governmental authorities have been excluded from the measurement of transaction price(s).
Shipping and handling activities performed after customer obtains control of the good are treated as activities to fulfill the promise (cost of fulfillment). Therefore, the Company does not evaluate whether the shipping and handling activities are promised services.
Incremental costs of obtaining contracts that would have been recognized within one year or less are recognized as an expense when incurred. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). The costs of obtaining contracts where the amortization period for recognition of the expense is beyond a year are capitalized and recognized over the revenue recognition period of the original contract.
The portfolio approach is used for certain types of variable consideration for contracts with similar characteristics. The methodology is used when the effects on the financial statements of applying this guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts within that portfolio.
Where at contract inception, the expected period between the transfer of promised goods or services and payment is within one year or less, we forgo adjustment for the impact of significant financing component for the contract.
For contracts that were modified before the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented, the Company has applied a transition practical expedient and will not recast the contracts for those modifications. Instead we have reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price.
For the reporting periods presented before the date of initial application, the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations and the explanation of when it expects to recognize that amount as revenue is not disclosed.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company's revenue is presented on a disaggregated basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in “Note 18. Operating Segments and Geographic Information”. This information includes revenue from reportable segments and a break-out of products and services for which the nature and timing of the revenue as characterized above is generally at a point in time and over time, respectively.
Balance sheet and other details
Unbilled Receivables: The Company records a receivable when an unconditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of customer invoicing. Payment terms vary based on product or service offerings and payment is generally required within 30 to 90 days from date of invoicing. Certain performance obligations may require payment before delivery of the service to the customer.

Contract asset balances will fluctuate based upon the timing of transfer of services, billings and customers’ acceptance of contractual milestones.
Gross receivables include both billed and Unbilled Receivables/Contract Assets. For the three months ended September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019 the Company had total non-billed receivables (Unbilled Receivables/Contract Assets) of $5.5 million and $11.5 million, respectively.
Deferred revenue: Revenue: Deferred revenue consists of contract liabilities primarily related to support, solution deployment services, software maintenance, product, professional services, and training when the Company has a right to invoice or payments have been received and transfer of control has not occurred. Revenue is recognized on these items when the revenue recognition criteria are met, generally resulting in ratable recognition over the contract term. Contract liabilities are included in other currentdeferred revenue and non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Remaining Performance Obligations: Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations not delivered or are incomplete, as of March 30,September 28, 2019. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations does not include amounts owed under cancelable contracts where there is no substantive termination penalty.
The Company also applied the practical expedient to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for the periods prior to adoption of the new revenue standard.
Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized, and adjustments for currency.
The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of March 30, 2019, was $232.4 million. The Company expects to recognize 93% of remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Note 6. Acquisitions
3Z Telecom, Inc. Acquisition
On May 31, 2019 (“3Z Close Date”), the Company acquired all of the equity of 3Z Telecom, Inc. (“3Z”) for approximately $23.2 million in cash and contingent consideration (“earn-out”) liability of up to $7.0 million in cash based on the achievement of certain net revenue targets over approximately a two year period, subsequent to the 3Z Close Date. The $23.2 million cash consideration is subject to final cash and net working capital adjustments and includes escrow payments of $4.3 million, which are reserved for potential breaches of representations and warranties. The acquisition of 3Z expands the Company’s Field Instrument offerings.
The 3Z acquisition meets the definition of a business and has been accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance on business combinations; therefore, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs incurred were not material.
The fair value of consideration transferred for the 3Z acquisition consists of the following (in millions):
Cash consideration paid at closing $18.9
Escrow payments 4.3
Fair value of contingent consideration 5.5
Total purchase consideration $28.7

The fair value of the earn-out payments at the 3Z Close Date was determined by applying a risk-neutral framework using a Monte Carlo Simulation, which includes inputs not observable in the market, and therefore represents a Level 3 measurement. The fair value of the Company’s earn-out liabilities is further discussed in “Note 8. Investments, Forward Contracts and Fair Value Measurements.”

The allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation, and our estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement and final cash and net working capital adjustments within the measurement period (up to one year from the 3Z Close Date). The purchase price allocation may require prospective adjustments to goodwill.
Acquired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets for which fair value is derived from a valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The fair values of acquired customer relationships and developed technology were determined based on the excess earnings method and relief from royalty method, respectively, variations of the income approach. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from five to six years. Customer backlog will be fully amortized within one year.
Goodwill arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to sales of future products and services of 3Z. Goodwill has been assigned to the NE segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.
Results of operations of 3Z have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements subsequent to the date of acquisition. Proforma or historical post-acquisition results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was not material to prior period financial statements.

The intangible assets, except IPR&D, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives that range from three to six years. Order backlog will be fully amortized within one year.
In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognized an IPR&D asset at fair value as of March 15, 2018. The IPR&D has been accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During the three months ended March 30, 2019, the IPR&D activities were completed and transferred to developed technology, with an estimated useful life of 6 years. See “Note 10. Acquired Developed Technology and Other Intangibles” of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail.
Goodwill arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to sales of future products and services and the assembled workforce of AW. Goodwill has been assigned to the NE segment and is partially deductible for tax purposes.
AW results of operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements subsequent to the date of acquisition.
Other Acquisitions:
During the nine months ended March 30, 2019, we completed various asset acquisitions for total consideration of approximately $7.7 million, of which $5.1 million cash was paid at close and $2.6 million in earn-out liabilities assumed. The fair value of earn-out liabilities assumed is discussed further in “Note 8. Investments, Forward Contracts and Fair Value Measurements”.
These acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions, as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset. In connection with these acquisitions, we recorded approximately $7.6 million of developed technology and $2.4 million of deferred tax liability resulting from these acquisitions. The acquired developed technology assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives which range from five to ten years.

In addition to the amounts presented above, as of June 30, 2018,29, 2019, the Company’s short-term investments classified as trading securities, related to the deferred compensation plan, were $1.6$1.5 million, of which $0.4 million was invested in debt securities, $0.3 million was invested in money market instruments and funds and $0.9$0.8 million was invested in equity securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of interest and other income, net.
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are, inputs which market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs, which reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability.
The Company’s cash and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
Level 1: includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets. Level 1 assets of the Company include money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities and marketable equity securities as they are traded with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. 
Level 2: includes financial instruments for which the valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 instruments of the Company generally include certain U.S. and foreign government and agency securities, commercial paper, corporate and municipal bonds and notes, asset-backed securities, certificates of deposit, and foreign currency forward contracts. To estimate their fair value, the Company utilizes pricing models based on market data. The significant inputs for the valuation model usually include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker and dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, and industry and economic events.

As of March 30,September 28, 2019 and June 30, 2018,29, 2019, the Company did not hold any Level 3 investment securities.

Refer to “Note 6. Acquisitions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail.
The Company’s Level 3 liabilities as of September 28, 2019, consist of contingent purchase consideration. The Company has aggregate contingent liabilities related to its acquisitions. The earn-out liabilities represent future payments by the Company of up to $63.0 million over four years, that are contingent on the achievement of certain revenue and gross profit targets. As of September 28, 2019, the aggregate fair value of our contingent consideration was $40.1 million. The fair value of earn-out liabilities were determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation that includes significant unobservable inputs such as the risk-free rate, risk-adjusted discount rate, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics and projected financial forecast of the acquired business over the earn-out period. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is remeasured at each reporting period at the estimated fair value based on the input on the date of remeasurement, with the change in fair value recognized in Selling, General and Administrative expense of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table provides a reconciliation of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities for the three months ended September 28, 2019 (in millions):

NaN payments were made in connection with the Company’s contingent earn-out liabilities during the three months ended September 28, 2019.
Non-Designated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company has foreign subsidiaries that operate and sell the Company’s products in various markets around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables, and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to foreign-currency transactions. The Company does not use these foreign currency forward contracts for trading purposes.
As of March 30,September 28, 2019, the Company had forward contracts that were effectively closed but not settled with the counterparties by quarter end. Therefore, the fair value of these contracts of $4.1$2.0 million and $2.4$4.6 million is reflected as prepayments and other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively. As of June 30, 2018,29, 2019, the fair value of these contracts of $2.7$1.2 million and $11.7$4.0 million is reflected as prepayments and other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The forward contracts outstanding and not effectively closed, with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near quarter end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts is not significant. As of March 30,September 28, 2019 and June 30, 2018,29, 2019, the notional amounts of the forward contracts the Company held to purchase foreign currencies were $130.8$116.0 million and $167.5$117.8 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of forward contracts the Company held to sell foreign currencies were $31.7$33.7 million and $28.6$31.3 million, respectively.
The change in the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of interest and other income, net. The cash flows related to the settlement of foreign currency forward contracts are classified as operating activities. The foreign exchange forward contracts incurred a gainloss of $1.7$2.6 million and a loss of $4.1$1.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 respectively. The foreign exchange forward contracts incurred a gain of $3.9 million and $8.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 29, 2018, respectively.
Contingent consideration
In connection with the RPC acquisition, the Company assumed contingent liability which represents potential future earn-out payments, of up to $53.0 million in cash. See “Note 6. Acquisitions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our acquisitions. The earn-out payments are based on the achievement of certain gross profit targets over approximately a four-year period. The achievement or distributions of earn-out payments are not limited in any one period. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration portion of the earn-out is $36.2 million as of March 30, 2019, which was determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation that includes significant unobservable inputs such as the risk-free rate, risk-adjusted discount rate, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics and projected gross profits of RPC over the earn-out period. The fair value is remeasured at each reporting period at the estimated fair value based on the inputs on the date of remeasurement, with the change in fair value to be recognized within the operating section of our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Projected gross profits are based on our internal projections, although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, the estimates could change significantly from period to period. Any changes to the significant unobservable inputs used, including the change in the forecast of gross profit for the earn out periods, may result in a change in fair value of contingent consideration and could have a material impact on future results of operations. Actual payment of contingent consideration in the future could be different from the current estimated fair value of the contingent consideration.
In connection with its asset acquisitions, the Company assumed an earn-out liability for future cash payments with a fair value of $2.6 million. See “Note 6. Acquisitions” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our acquisitions. The earn-out payments are based on the achievement of revenue and certain operating targets over approximately a three-year period.
There was no change in fair value of contingent liability during the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019.

Note 12. Leases
The Company is a lessee in several operating leases, primarily real estate facilities for office space. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for our operating leases, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The lease term is the non-cancelable period of the lease and includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that an option will be exercised. Operating ROU assets are recognized at commencement based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Operating ROU assets also include any lease payments made prior to lease commencement and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 
Operating ROU assets are included in other non-current assets and lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Lease and non-lease components for all leases are accounted for separately. The Company does not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of twelve months or less.
The Company's lease arrangements are composed of operating leases with various expiration dates through December 31, 2029. The Company's leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees.
For the three months ended September 28, 2019, the total operating lease cost was $3.3 million. Total variable lease costs were immaterial during the three months ended September 28, 2019. The total operating costs were included in cost of revenues, research and development, selling, general and administrative in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fiscal 2019 Plans
NSE, including AW Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Management approved restructuring and workforce reduction plans within its Network Service and Enablement (“NSE”) business, including actions related to the recently acquired AW business. These actions further drive the Company’s strategy for organizational alignment and consolidation as part of its continued commitment to a more cost effective and agile organization and to improve overall profitability in the Company’s NSE business. Included in these restructuring plans are specific actions to consolidate and integrate the newly acquired AW business within the NSE business segment. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company has updated the plan to include additional headcount primarily to transfer a portion of the manufacturing operations related to the recently acquired AW business to a contract manufacturer. As a result, a totalA restructuring charge of $16.7$0.3 million was recorded in the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 for adjustments to severance and employee benefits for approximately 253 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.benefits. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Fiscal 2018 Plans
Trilithic Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, Management approved a plan within the NE business segment to consolidate and integrate the Trilithic acquisition. As a result, approximately 40 employees primarily in manufacturing, and SG&A functions located in the United States were impacted. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual were paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

reducing costs by streamlining NSE operations. In total, approximately 360 employees in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia were impacted. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual were paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company exited the workspace in Vancouver, Canada under the plan. Payments related to the Vancouver lease costs were paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019.
NE Lease Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a NE plan to exit the remaining space in Germantown, Maryland. As of June 28, 2014, the Company exited the space in Germantown under the plan. Payments related to the Germantown lease costs were paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
As of March 30, 2019, the restructuring accrual for other plans that commenced prior to fiscal year 2017 was $0.3 million, which consists of immaterial accruals from various restructuring plans.

Note 13.14. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $5.6$8.3 million and $22.2$5.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.1 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 29, 2018, respectively.
The income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018 primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on the Company’s forecasted pre-tax income or loss for the respective fiscal year. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, this foreign and state tax is offset by a tax benefit of $2.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively, which was recorded in the Company’s income tax provision related to the income tax intraperiod allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted. The Act imposed a deemed repatriation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ post-1986 earnings and profits (“E&P”) which had previously been deferred from US income tax. This deemed repatriation was reported in the Company’s fiscal 2018 U.S. tax return. The Company completed the calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P for all foreign subsidiaries during the quarter ended December 29, 2018. The change in estimate did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements.
The income tax expense recorded differs from the expected tax benefit that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s loss from continuing operations before taxes primarily due to the changes in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to the Company’s domestic and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations, and due to the income tax benefit recorded in continuing operations under the income tax intraperiod allocation rules.operations.
As of March 30,September 28, 2019, and June 30, 2018,29, 2019, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $53.3$50.4 million and $48.6$50.9 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. The Company had $2.0$3.4 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 30,September 28, 2019. The timing and resolution of income tax examinations is uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued for each year. Although we do not expect that our balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits that may be recognized duringwill change materially in the next twelve12 months, given the uncertainty in the development of ongoing income tax examinations, we are approximately $0.8 million.unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to this balance.

Full Value Awards
Full Value Awards refer to restricted stock units that are granted without an exercise price and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. Performance-based awards are performance-based with market conditions, performance conditions, time-based or a combination, and are expected to vest over one to four years. When converted into shares upon vesting, shares equivalent in value to the minimum withholding taxes liability on the vested shares are withheld by the Company for the payment of such taxes.
During the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018, the Company granted 3.82.9 million and 3.13.4 million time-based awards, respectively. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award. The majority of these time-based awards vest over three years, with 33% vesting after one year and the balance vesting quarterly over the remaining two years.
During the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018, the Company granted 0.5 million and 0.60.5 million, performance-based awards, respectively. These performance-based shares represent the target amount of grants, and the actual number of shares awarded upon vesting may vary depending upon the achievement

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

of the relevant performance conditions. The shares attained over target upon vesting are reflected as awards granted during the period. Accordingly, during the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018, the Company granted additional 0.10.2 million and 0.20.1 million shares due to performance-based shares attained over target. The aggregate grant-date fair value of performance-based awards granted during the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018 were estimated to be $6.2$7.7 million and $6.1$6.2 million, respectively. The majority of performance-based awards vest in equal annual installments over three years based on the attainment of certain performance measures and the employee’s continued service through the vest date. The performance-based awards with market condition were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.
As of March 30,September 28, 2019, $58.5$78.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to Full Value Awards remains to be amortized. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated amortization period of 1.82.1 years.
Note 16.17. Employee Pension and Other Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors significant qualified and non-qualified pension plans for certain past and present employees in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Germany. The Company also is responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation assumed from a past acquisition.
Most of the plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany assumed in connection with an acquisition in fiscal 2010. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each year of service.
As of March 30,September 28, 2019, the U.K. and AW plans wereplan was partially funded while the other plans were unfunded. The Company’s policy for funded plans is to make contributions equal to or greater than the requirements prescribed by law or regulation. For

Both the calculation of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic cost are based upon actuarial valuations. These valuations use participant-specific information such as salary, age, years of service, and assumptions about interest rates, compensation increases and other factors. At a minimum, the Company evaluates these assumptions annually and makes changes as necessary.
The Company expects to incur cash outlays of approximately $7.6$7.8 million related to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 20192020 to make current benefit payments and fund future obligations. As of March 30,September 28, 2019, approximately $4.2$1.5 million had been incurred. These payments have been estimated based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s projected benefit obligation at June 30, 2018.29, 2019.
Note 17.18. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In June 2016, the Company received a court decision regarding the validity of an amendment to a pension deed of trust related to one of its foreign subsidiaries which the Company contends contained an error requiring the Company to increase the pension plan’s benefit. The Company had subsequently further amended the deed to rectify the error. The court ruled that the amendment increasing the pension plan benefit was valid until the subsequent amendment. The Company estimated the liability to range from (amounts represented as £ denote GBP) £5.7 million to £8.4 million. The Company determined the likelihood of loss to be probable and accrued £5.7 million as of July 2, 2016 in accordance with authoritative guidance on contingencies. The accrual is included in pension and post-employment benefits, which is a component of other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company pursued an appeal of the court decision. In March 2018, the appellate court affirmed the decision of the lower court. The Company is pursuing a deed of rectification claim and continues to pursue a claim against the U.K. law firm responsible for the error. As of March 30,September 28, 2019, the related accrued pension liability was £5.9£6.5 million or $7.7$8.0 million.
The Company is subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, individually or in aggregate,

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.
Guarantees
The Company follows authoritative guidance which requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a tabular reconciliation of the changes of the entity’s product warranty liabilities, are required.
The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company’s businesses or assets; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship.
The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no0 liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 30,September 28, 2019 and June 30, 2018.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of July 31, 2015 between the Company and Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”), the Company is required to indemnify Lumentum and its subsidiaries for certain specified tax liabilities. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Ontario Ministry of Finance denied the Company’s appeal of an assessment of the applicable tax liabilities at which time the Company recorded a charge of $2.4 million to its discontinued operations.29, 2019.
Outstanding Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds
As of March 30,September 28, 2019, the Company had standby letters of credit of $11.6$7.4 million and performance bonds of $1.5$0.9 million collateralized by restricted cash.
Product Warranties
The Company provides reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. In general, the Company offers its customers warranties up to three-yearsthree years and has accrued a reserve for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. It estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. From time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
The following table presents the changes in the Company’s warranty reserve during the three and nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018, (in millions):

The Company evaluates its reportable segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance on segment reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), use operating segment financial information to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources.
The Company’s reportable segments are:
(i) Network Enablement:
NE provides testing solutions that access the network to perform build-out and maintenance tasks. These solutions include instruments, software and services to design, build, activate, certify, troubleshoot and optimize networks. The Company also offers a range of product support and professional services such as repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for our products.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(ii) Service Enablement:
SE solutions are embedded systems that yield network, service and application performance data. These solutions—including instruments, microprobes and software—monitor, collect and analyze network data to reveal the actual customer experience and to identify opportunities for new revenue streams and network optimization.
(iii) Optical Security and Performance Products:
OSP provides innovative, precision, high performance optical products for anti-counterfeiting, government, industrial, automotive and consumer electronic markets, including 3D Sensing applications.
The CODM manages the Company in two2 broad business categories: NSE and OSP. The CODM evaluates segment performance of the NSE business based on the combined segment gross and operating margins. Operating expenses associated with the NSE business are not allocated to the individual segments within NSE, as they are managed centrally at the business unit level. The CODM evaluates segment performance of the OSP business based on segment operating margin. The Company allocates corporate-level operating expenses to its segment results, except for certain non-core operating and non-operating activities as discussed below.
The Company does not allocate stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges, impairment of goodwill, non-operating income and expenses, or other charges unrelated to core operating performance to its segments because management does not include this information in its measurement of the performance of the operating segments. These items are presented as “Other Items” in the table below. Additionally, the Company does not specifically identify and allocate all assets by operating segment.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Refer to “Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” regarding the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. We believe that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.
For a description of the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, refer to Item 7 on Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

(“SEC”). There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates, except with respect to revenue recognition resultingfinancial reporting of leasing arrangements from the adoption of ASC 606 and accounting estimates of fair value of earn-outs arising from the acquisitions of businesses and other assets.842 - Leases. Refer to “Note 3. Revenue” and “Note 6. Acquisitions”12. Leases” for more details.

Net Revenue
Revenue from our service offerings exceeds 10% of our total consolidated net revenue and is presented separately in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Service revenue primarily consists of maintenance and support, extended warranty, training, professional services and post-contract support in addition to other services such as calibration and repair services. When evaluating the performance of our segments, management focuses on total net revenue, gross profit and operating income and not the product or service categories. Consequently, the following discussion of business segment performance focuses on total net revenue, gross profit, and operating income consistent with our approach for managing the business.
Three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018
Net revenue increased by $46.5$31.3 million, or 21.3%11.7%, during the three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily due to revenue increase from our NE segment.and OSP segments.

Product revenues increased by $38.9$23.7 million, or 20.1%9.8%, during the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago, due to revenue increase from our NE segment as discussed below.
Service revenues increased by $7.6 million, or 29.8%, during the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to increased support revenue from the NE segment, partially offset by a decline in support contract renewals for the SE segment as discussed below.
NE net revenue increased by $54.0 million, or 42.7%, during the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was driven by revenues from the AW Business of Cobham plc. (“AW”) acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and organic growth in our Fiber business across Lab and Field Instruments. This was partially offset by revenue declines primarily in Cable products from a year ago peak levels driven by DOCSIS 3.1 upgrade cycle.
SE net revenue decreased by $5.0 million, or 16.7%, during the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily driven by a decline in our Data Center demand and from the expected run-off in our Mature Assurance products. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our Growth Assurance product portfolio.
OSP net revenue decreased by $2.5 million, or 4.0%, during the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily driven by a decline in demand for our Consumer and Industrial products primarily from 3D sensing optical filter which benefited from a one-time impact of revenue recognition during the same period a year ago, partially offset by strength in our Anti-Counterfeiting products.
Nine Months Ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018
Net revenue increased by $225.6 million, or 36.7%, during the nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago, due to revenue increase from our NE and OSP segment,segments, partially offset by revenue decrease fromdeclines in our SE segment.
Product revenues increased by $206.4 million, or 38.3% during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily from our NE and OSP segment as discussed below.
Service revenues increased by $19.2$7.6 million, or 25.5%27.7%, during the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to increased support revenue from theour NE segment, partially offset by a decline in support contract renewals for the SE segment as discussed below.segment.
NE net revenue increased by $180.4$34.4 million, or 50.1%20.9%, during the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was driven by revenues5G wireless secular growth trends and fiber demand from the AW business acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and organic growth in our Fiber business acrossboth Lab and Field Instruments. This was partially offset by revenue declines primarily in Cable products from a year ago peak levels driven byInstruments due to the 400Gb upgrade cycle.

SE net revenue decreased by $10.7$5.3 million, or 11.9%20.2%, during the ninethree months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. Due to continued runoff of Mature Assurance products and lower demand in our Growth Assurance products. The Data Center and Assurance markets have been challenging in calendar year 2019, with many deals delayed as customers reevaluate IT spend.
OSP net revenue increased by $2.2 million, or 2.8%, during the three months ended September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This decreaseincrease was primarily driven by a decline in our Data Center3D Sensing demand and fromby the expected run-off in our Mature Assurance products. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our Growth Assurance product portfolio.
OSP net revenue increased by $55.9 million, or 33.9%, during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This growth was primarily driven by increase in demand from our Anti-Counterfeiting products due to bank not redesign and higher revenue from our Consumer and Industrial products, due to higher demandbroadening of customer base for our 3D Sensing optical filters and the newly acquiredcontinued adoption of Engineered DiffusersTM products.by Android based smart phone customers. Anti-Counterfeiting revenue declined as the business relied mostly on banknote reprint volume. This reflects a change from a year ago levels where OSP benefited from higher banknote redesign demand in the fiscal first half of 2019 along with reoccurring reprint volume.
Going forward, we anticipateexpect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market risks and uncertainties that may limit our visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance, and that could create quarter over quarter variability in our financial measures. For example, while the majority of our net revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, a portion of our international operations are denominated in foreign currencies. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could negatively impact reported revenue.
WeAdditionally, we have seen demand for our NE and SE products affected by macroeconomic uncertainty. We cannot predict when or to what extent these uncertainties will be resolved. Our revenues, profitability, and general financial performance may also be affected by: (a) pricing pressures due to, among other things, a highly concentrated customer base, increasing competition, particularly from Asia-based competitors, and a general commoditization trend for certain products; (b) product mix variability in our NE and SE markets, which affects revenue and gross margin; (c) fluctuations in customer buying patterns, which cause demand, revenue and profitability volatility; and (d) the current trend of communication industry consolidation, which is expected to continue, that directly affects our NE and SE customer bases and adds additional risk and uncertainty to our financial and business projections.projections; (e) the impact of ongoing global trade policies, tariffs and sanctions; and (f) regulatory or economic developments that slow or change the rate of adoption of 5G, 3D Sensing and other emerging secular technologies and platforms.
While the majority of ourIn fiscal 2020, we expect to see an increase in net revenue from our NSE segment driven by macro industry technology trends from 5G wireless testing and expenses are denominateddeployment, and “fiber-to-the-everywhere” (“FTTX”) deployment. In our OSP segment, while the Anti-Counterfeiting product pipeline remains robust, visibility remains limited for banknote redesign in U.S. dollars, a portion of our international operations are denominated in foreign currencies. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could negatively impact reported revenue and expenses.

For the remainder of calendar 2019, wenext several quarters. We also expect continued strength in 5G Wireless and Fiber in support of the 5G infrastructure build out to benefit NSE. We expect the 3D Sensing products to follow typical seasonal demand strength in consumer electronics to benefit OSP in the second halfrevenue increase, driven by adoption of calendar 2019.this technology on multiple mobile devices.

Revenue by Region
We operate in three geographic regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”). Net revenue is assigned to the geographic region and country where our product is initially shipped. For example, certain customers may request shipment of our product to a contract manufacturer in one country, which may differ from the location of their end customers. The following table presents net revenue by the three geographic regions we operate in and net revenue from countries that exceeded 10% of our total net revenue (in millions):

Net revenue from customers outside the Americas during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018 represented 62.6% and 50.5% of net revenue, respectively.
We expect revenue from customers outside of United States to continue to be an important part of our overall net revenue and an increasing focus for net revenue growth opportunities.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased by 1.52.2 percentage points during the three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 from 56.4%56.0% in the same period a year ago to 57.9%58.2% in the current period. This increase was primarily driven by a decrease in costs incurred from our acquisitionshigher revenue volume and gross margin improvement infavorable product mix within our NE segment.and OSP segments. The increase was partially offset by gross margin reduction in our SE and OSP segmentssegment as discussed below.
Gross margin decreased by 0.5 percentage points during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 from 57.8% in the same period a year ago to 57.3% in the current period. This decrease was primarily driven by gross margin reduction in our OSP and SE segments and increase in amortization of acquired developed technology. This decrease was partially offset by gross margin improvement in our NE segment and decrease in amortization of acquisition related inventory step-up in connection with the AW acquisition.
As discussed in more detail under “Net Revenue”Net Revenue above, we sell products in certain markets that are consolidating, undergoing product, architectural and business model transitions, have high customer concentrations, are highly competitive (increasingly due to Asia-Pacific-based competition), are price sensitive and/or are affected by customer seasonal and mix variant buying patterns. We expect these factors to continue to result in variability of our gross margin.

Research and Development
R&D expense increased by $16.6$8.9 million, or 51.7%20.9%, during the three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by full period R&D expensestargeted investments to support increased demand for our Wireless products and additional costs from the AW business acquiredour acquisitions in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and higher bonus accrual compared to the same period a year ago.prior year. As a percentage of net revenue, R&D increased by 3.71.3 percentage points during the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago.
R&D expense increased by $46.1 million, or 50.6%, during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by full period R&D expenses from the AW business acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and higher bonus accrual compared to the same period a year ago. As a percentage of net revenue R&D increased by 1.5 percentage points during the nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago.
We believe that continuing our investments in R&D is critical to attaining our strategic objectives. We plan to continue to invest in R&D and new products that will further differentiate us in the marketplace.
Selling, General and Administrative

SG&A expense increased by $0.8$8.8 million or 0.9%10.4%, during the three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily due to incremental SG&A expenseon going investments including upgrading our ERP and related systems, targeted investments to support increased demand for our Wireless and Fiber products, additional costs from the AW business, acquiredour acquisitions in the third quarterprior year and an increase to the fair value of fiscal 2018, partially offset byour earn-out liabilities in the decrease of acquisition and integration related costs, the reduction in net expenses driven by our recent restructuring activities and on-going cost reduction efforts.current period. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A decreased 6.60.3 percentage points during the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago.
SG&A expense increased by $24.7 million, or 10.5%, during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily due to incremental SG&A expense from the AW business acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, partially offset by the decrease of acquisition related costs, the reduction in net expenses driven by our recent restructuring activities and on-going cost reduction efforts. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A decreased 7.3 percentage points during the nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago.
We intend to continue to focus on reducing our SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue. However, we may experience in the future, certain charges unrelated to our core operating performance, such as mergers and acquisitions-related expenses, and litigation expenses and charges from changes in the fair value measurement of our contingent consideration liabilities, which could increase our SG&A expenses and potentially impact our profitability expectations in any particular quarter.
Restructuring and Related Charges
From time to time we have initiated strategic restructuring events primarily intended to reduce costs, consolidate our operations, integrate various acquisitions, rationalize the manufacturing of our products and align our businesses to address market conditions. We estimate annualized gross cost savings of approximately $28.8$24.3 million excluding any one-time charges as a result of recent restructuring activities initiated in the last twelve months. Refer to “Note 12.13. Restructuring and Related Charges” for more information.


As of March 30,September 28, 2019, our total restructuring accrual was $11.4 million.

During the three and nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, we recorded $0.9$0.3 million and $16.0$14.8 million respectively, in restructuring and related charges. These charges are primarily the result of the following:

During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Management approved restructuring and workforce reduction plans within its NSE business, including actions related to the recently acquired AW business. These actions further drive the Company’s strategy for organizational alignment and consolidation as part of its continued commitment to a more cost effective and agile organization and to improve overall profitability in the Company’s NSE business. Included in these restructuring plans are specific actions to consolidate and integrate the newly acquired AW business within the NSE business segment. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company has updated the plan to include additional headcount primarily to transfer a portion of the manufacturing operations related to the recently acquired AW business to a contract manufacturer. As a result, a restructuring charge of $16.7 million was recorded in the nine months ended March 30, 2019 for severance and employee benefits for approximately 253 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.


During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, we recorded $0.3 million and $4.3 million respectively, in restructuring and related charges.

Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest and other income, net, was $0.9$2.7 million during the three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to $3.5$1.7 million the same period a year ago. This $2.6$1.0 million decreaseincrease was primarily driven by the $1.8 million favorable foreign exchange impact as the balance sheet hedging program provided a decrease in interest incomefavorable offset to the remeasurement of underlying foreign exchange exposures during the current period, due to decrease in investment balance in the US and much lower yield on money market fund in China.
Interest and other income, net,which was $4.5 million during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 compared to $6.6 million the same period a year ago. This $2.1 million decrease was primarily drivenpartially offset by a decrease inof $0.8 million interest income, due to lower investments balance during the current period due to decrease in investment balance in the US and much lower yield on money market fund in China, offset by loss on repurchase of our 2033 Notes during the same period a year ago.period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by $3.4$1.8 million, or 29.8%17.8%, during the three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in debt discount accretion as the 2033 Notes were fully redeemed or converted in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, offset by a full-quarter accretion of debt discount from the issuance of 2023 Notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
Interest expense decreased by $9.4 million, or 26.4%, during the nine months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in debt discount accretion of the 2033 Notes during the current period as the notes were fully redeemed or converted in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, offset by accretion of debt discount from the issuance of 2023 Notes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.2019.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $5.6$8.3 million and $22.2$5.7 million for the three and nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.1 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 29, 2018 respectively.
The income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 30,September 28, 2019 and March 31,September 29, 2018 primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on the Company’s forecasted pre-tax income or loss for the respective fiscal year. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, this foreign and state tax is offset by a tax benefit of $2.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively, which was recorded in the Company’s income tax provision related to the income tax intraperiod allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted. The Act imposed a deemed repatriation of our foreign subsidiaries’ post-1986 earnings and profits (“E&P”) which had previously been deferred from US income tax. This deemed repatriation was reported in our fiscal 2018 U.S. tax return. The Company completed the calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P for all foreign subsidiaries during the quarter ended December 29. 2018. The change in estimate did not materially impact the Company’s financial statements.
The income tax expense recorded differs from the expected tax benefit that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our loss from continuing operations before taxes primarily due to the changes in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to our domestic and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations, impacts of the Act, and due to the income tax benefit recorded in continuing operations under the income tax intraperiod allocation rules.operations.
As of March 30,September 28, 2019, and June 30, 2018,29, 2019, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $53.3$50.4 million and $48.6$50.9 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. We had $2.0$3.4 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 30,September 28, 2019. The timing and resolution of income tax examinations is uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued for each year. Although we do not expect that our balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits that may be recognized duringwill change materially in the next twelve12 months, given the uncertainty in the development of ongoing income tax examinations, we are approximately $0.8 million.unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to this balance.

As of March 30,September 28, 2019, U.S. entities owned approximately 16.4%27.4% of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash.
As of March 30,September 28, 2019, the majority of our cash investments have maturities of 90 days or less and are of high credit quality. Although we intend to hold these investments to maturity, in the event that we are required to sell any of these securities under adverse market conditions, losses could be recognized on such sales. During the three months ended March 30,September 28, 2019, we have not realized material investment losses but can provide no assurance that the value or the liquidity of our investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. In addition, we maintain cash balances in operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions. These balances in the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail.
On August 15, 2018, certain holders of the 2033 Notes issued in August 2013 exercised the put option and an aggregate principal amount of $134.3 million of the 2033 Notes was validly surrendered for repurchase. The Company accepted all such notes for payment with available cash. On September 5, 2018, the Company elected to exercise its optional redemption right to redeem all $142.7 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 2033 Notes. The date fixed for the redemption of the Notes was October 10, 2018 (Redemption Date). In connection with the redemption, holders of $112.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes converted their Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes. Note holders who converted their notes received an aggregate payout of $111.8 million in cash and were issued 231,795 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company redeemed the remaining $30.7 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes in accordance with its notice of redemption dated September 5, 2018. The Company paid to the registered holders of the Notes that were redeemed an aggregate amount of approximately $30.8 million, including accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. As of March 30,September 28, 2019, none of the 2033 Notes remain outstanding. For additional information related to our debt refer to “Note 11. Debt.”

We believe that our existing cash balances and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital spending requirements over the next twelve months. However, there are a number of factors that could positively or negatively impact our liquidity position, including:
global economic conditions which affect demand for our products and services and impact the financial stability of our suppliers and customers;
changes in accounts receivable, inventory or other operating assets and liabilities which affect our working capital;
increase in capital expenditure to support the revenue growth opportunity of our business;
changes in customer payment terms and patterns, which typically results in customers delaying payments or negotiating favorable payment terms to manage their own liquidity positions;
timing of payments to our suppliers;
factoring or sale of accounts receivable;
volatility in fixed income and credit market which impact the liquidity and valuation of our investment portfolios;
volatility in foreign exchange market which impacts our financial results;
possible investments or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies;
issuance or repurchase of debt or equity securities, which may include open market purchases of our 2023 Notes and/or 2024 Notes prior to their maturity or of our common stock;

potential funding of pension liabilities either voluntarily or as required by law or regulation; and
compliance with covenants and other terms and conditions related to our financing arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes to our existing contractual commitments during the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2019.2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in rules promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors, other than the guarantees discussed in “Note 17.18. Commitments and Contingencies.”
Employee Equity Incentive Plan
Our stock-based benefit plans are a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain employees and align stockholder and employee interests. Refer to “Note 15.16. Stock-Based Compensation” for more details.
Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits
We sponsor significant pension plans for certain past and present employees in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Germany. We are also responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation (“PBO”) assumed from a past acquisition. All of these plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany assumed in connection with an acquisition in fiscal 2010. The U.K. and AW plans areplan is partially funded, and the other Germany plans, which were initially established as “pay-as-you-go” plans, are unfunded. As of March 30,September 28, 2019, our pension plans were under funded by $99.7$104.8 million since the PBO exceeded the fair value of plan assets. Similarly, we had a liability of $0.4 million related to our non-pension post-retirement benefit plan. Pension plan assets are managed by external third parties and we monitor the performance of our investment managers. As of March 30,September 28, 2019, the fair value of plan assets had increased approximately 0.9%4.7% since June 30, 2018,29, 2019, our most recent fiscal year end.
A key actuarial assumption in calculating the net periodic cost and the PBO is the discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the interest cost component of the net periodic benefit cost calculation and PBO due to the fact that the PBO is calculated on a net present value basis. Decreases in the discount rate will generally increase pre-tax cost, recognized expense and the PBO. Increases in the discount rate tend to have the opposite effect. We estimate

a 50 basis point decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the PBO of approximately $9.5$9.2 million based upon data as of June 30, 2018.29, 2019.
In estimating the expected return on plan assets, we consider historical returns on plan assets, adjusted for forward-looking considerations, inflation assumptions and the impact of active management of the plan’s invested assets. While it is not possible to accurately predict future rate movements, we believe our current assumptions are appropriate. Refer to “Note 16.17. Employee Pension and Other Benefit Plans” for more details.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
The Company’s market risk has not changed materially from the foreign exchange and interest rate risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.29, 2019.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 30,September 28, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures of our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems will be achieved. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. If an unfavorable final outcome were to occur, it may have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.29, 2019, except as noted below.
In October 2017 and again in October 2019, we temporarily closed our Santa Rosa, California facility resulting in production stoppage, due to wildfires in the region and the facility’s close proximity to the wildfire evacuation zone. The location of our production facility could subject us to production delays and/or equipment and property damage.
The geographic location of our Northern California headquarters and production facilities subject them to earthquake and wildfire risks. It is impossible to predict the timing, magnitude or location of such natural disasters or their impacts on the local economy and on our operations. If a major earthquake, wildfire or other natural disaster were to damage or destroy our facilities or manufacturing equipment, we may experience potential impacts ranging from production and shipping delays to lost profits and revenues. Moreover, in October 2019, Pacific Gas and Electric (“PG&E”), the public electric utility in our Northern California region commenced planned widespread blackouts during the peak wildfire season to avoid and contain wildfires sparked during strong wind events by downed power lines or equipment failure. While we have not experienced damage to our facilities or disruption to operations as a result of these power outages, ongoing blackouts, particularly if prolonged or frequent, could impact our operations going forward.
