NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The financial information for Viavi Solutions Inc. (“VIAVI” also referred to as “the Company”) for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 29, 2018~~March 30, 2019 is unaudited, and includes all normal and recurring adjustments Company management considers necessary for a fair statement of the financial information set forth herein. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 29, 2019.

Other than updates to the Company’s lease accounting policy under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 - Leases, as disclosed in “Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” and “Note 12. Leases”, there have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies during the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared to the significant accounting policies presented in “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended June 29, 2019 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2019.

The balance sheet as of June 29, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The results for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 29, 2018~~March 30, 2019 may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year ending June 27, 2020 or any future periods.

Fiscal Years

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th. The Company’s fiscal 2020 is a 52-week year ending on June 27, 2020. The Company’s fiscal 2019 was a 52-week year ending on June 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.

A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in Wuhan, China by the Chinese government in December 2019, and subsequently declared an international pandemic by the World Health Organization (“WHO”) in March 2020. The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity which is likely to decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including from our customers, while also continuing to disrupt sales channels and marketing activities for an unknown period of time until the disease is contained. While, the Company expects this to have a negative impact to our sales and our results of operations, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstances that would require an update to the estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information becomes available. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates assumptions or conditions.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance 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 (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities, measured at the present value of the lease payments. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020 the Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected to apply the optional transition approach of not adjusting comparative period financial statements for the adoption impact. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and accounting for

initial direct costs. Adoption of the leasing standard resulted in $35.5 million of ROU assets and $37.0 million of lease ~~liabilities.~~liabilities on June 30, 2019. In addition, the Company recorded an adjustment to ~~accumulative~~accumulated deficit, net of taxes, of $3.0 million from the recognition of previously deferred profit under sale-leaseback arrangements and de-recognition of related real estate assets of $7.1 million and financing obligations of $10.1 million. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows. For additional information refer to “Note 12. Leases.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

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~~2021 and early adoption is permitted. 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.

Note 3. Revenue

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which was adopted in fiscal 2019 using the retrospective transition method. The Company’s revenue is derived 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.

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 Assets: A Contract Asset is recognized when a conditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred. Contract Assets include fixed fee professional services, where the transfer of services has occurred in advance of the Company's right to invoice. Contract Assets, included in accounts receivable, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, are not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The prior year’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows have been updated to conform to the current period’s presentation. 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~~As of March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and June 29, 2019, the Company had total ~~non-billed~~unbilled receivables (Unbilled Receivables/Contract Assets) of ~~$5.5~~$3.6 million and $11.5 million, respectively.

Deferred 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 deferred revenue and non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company also has ~~short term~~short-term and ~~long term~~long-term deferred revenues related to undelivered hardware and professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements, which are recognized as the Company's performance obligations under the contract are completed and accepted by the customer.

The following tables summarize the activity related to deferred revenue (in millions):


	September 28, 2019			March 28, 2020
	Three Months Ended			Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
Deferred revenue:

Long-term deferred revenue	$	13.2		$	18.7		$	18.7

⁽¹⁾ Included in these amounts is the impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Remaining Performance Obligations: Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are not delivered or ~~are~~ incomplete, as of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019.~~2020. 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.

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.

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.”

Intangible assets acquired:
Developed technology	4.4
Customer relationships	7.9
Customer backlog	0.1
Goodwill	12.2
Total consideration transferred	$	28.7

The ~~preliminary~~ allocation of the purchase price to tangible assets, based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the 3Z Close Date, was as follows (in millions):



Cash	$	2.2
Total other assets	3.6
Total liabilities	(1.7		)
Net tangible assets acquired	$	4.1

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.

In addition to the amounts presented above, as of June 29, 2019, the Company’s short-term investments classified as trading securities, related to the deferred compensation plan, were $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 $0.8 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.

Level 3: includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation-based inputs, that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and June 29, 2019, the Company did not hold any Level 3 investment securities. ~~As of September 28, 2019, the~~The fair value of the Company’s contingent ~~liability~~liabilities was determined using Level 3 inputs, as discussed below.

The Company’s Level 3 liabilities as of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, 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~~three years, that are contingent on the achievement of certain revenue and gross profit targets. As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the aggregate fair value of our contingent consideration was ~~$40.1~~$34.1 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~~SG&A expense of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, 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 ~~$2.0~~$5.7 million and ~~$4.6~~$9.7 million is reflected as prepayments and other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively. As of June 29, 2019, the fair value of these contracts of $1.2 million and $4.0 million is reflected as prepayments and other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively.

The forward contracts outstanding and not effectively closed, with a term of less than ~~120~~130 days, were transacted near quarter end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts is not significant. As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and June 29, 2019, the notional amounts of the forward contracts the Company held to purchase foreign currencies were ~~$116.0~~$96.7 million and $117.8 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of forward contracts the Company held to sell foreign currencies were ~~$33.7~~$195.8 million and $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 loss of ~~$2.6~~$4.0 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.8 million for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020, respectively. The foreign exchange forward contracts incurred a gain of $1.7 million and ~~September 29, 2018,~~a loss of $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019, respectively.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company reviewed goodwill under the qualitative assessment of the authoritative guidance and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount and that no indication of impairment existed.

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 September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019, none of the 2033 Notes remain outstanding.

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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~~March 31, ~~2029.~~2030. The Company's leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees.

For the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the total operating lease ~~cost was $3.3 million.~~costs were $3.6 million and $10.2 million, respectively. Total variable lease costs were immaterial during the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019.~~2020. The total operating costs were included in cost of revenues, research and development, and selling, general and administrative in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 28, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term was 5.3 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 4.6%.

For the three and nine months ended March 28, 2020, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were $3.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively; and operating ROU assets obtained in exchange of new operating lease liabilities were $0.6 million and $15.1 million, respectively.

Note 13. Restructuring and Related Charges

The Company has initiated restructuring events primarily intended to reduce its costs, consolidate its operations, integrate various acquisitions, streamline product manufacturing and align its business to address market conditions. The Company’s restructuring charges primarily include severance and benefit costs to eliminate a specific number of positions, facilities and equipment costs to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, and lease termination costs. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over multiple periods.

As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and June 29, 2019, the Company’s total restructuring accrual was ~~$7.5~~$1.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020, the Company recorded restructuring and ~~September 29, 2018,~~related benefits of $1.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded restructuring and related charges of ~~$0.3~~$0.9 million and ~~$14.8~~$16.0 million, respectively.

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. A restructuring ~~charge~~benefits of ~~$0.3~~$2.2 million was recorded in the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 for adjustments to severance and employee benefits. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Note 14. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax ~~expense~~provision of ~~$8.3~~$38.8 million and ~~$5.7~~$57.0 million for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $5.6 million and ~~September 29, 2018,~~$22.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019, respectively.

The income tax ~~expense~~provision for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 primarily relates to a $31.6 million charge for withholding taxes expected to be paid on the repatriation of $316.4 million of foreign earnings that the Company no longer considers to be permanently reinvested. In light of the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19, the Company reevaluated its historic assertion on foreign earnings and ~~September 29, 2018~~no longer considers these earnings to be permanently reinvested. The repatriation of these earnings will increase available cash in the U.S. and provide greater U.S. financial flexibility to assist the Company in navigating the expected downturn in the economy. The foreign earnings can be repatriated to the U.S. without incurring any significant additional U.S current or deferred tax expense. In addition, the income tax provision for the period includes the income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on the Company’s forecasted pre-tax income or loss for the respective fiscal year.The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019 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.

The income tax ~~expense~~provision recorded differs from the expected tax ~~benefit~~provision that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s ~~loss~~income from continuing operations before taxes primarily due to the withholding taxes accrued on foreign earnings and the changes in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to the Company’s domestic and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations.

On March 27, 2020 the House passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (The CARES Act), also known as the Third COVID-19 Supplemental Relief bill, and the president signed the legislation into law. Tax provisions of the Act include the deferral of certain payroll taxes, relief for retaining employees, and other provisions. We do not expect the provisions of the legislation to have a significant impact on the effective tax rate or the income tax payable and deferred income tax positions of the Company. We continue to monitor additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service and others.

As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, and June 29, 2019, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled ~~$50.4~~$50.6 million and $50.9 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. The Company had ~~$3.4~~$3.5 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019.~~2020. 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~~the Company does not expect that our balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months, given the uncertainty in the development of ongoing income tax examinations, ~~we are~~the Company is unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to this balance.

Note 15. Stockholders' Equity

Repurchase of Common Stock

In September 2019, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $200 million of the Company’s common stock through open market or private transactions before September 30, 2021. The new stock repurchase program replaces the previous $200 million stock repurchase program that was set to expire on September 30, 2019. Under the new repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s management.

During the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company repurchased ~~104 thousand~~2.8 million and 3.6 million shares of its common stock for ~~$1.5 million.~~$33.1 million and $43.8 million, respectively. As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had remaining authorization of ~~$198.5~~$156.2 million for future share repurchases. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including business and financial market conditions.

Note 16. Stock-Based Compensation

	Three Months Ended				Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019		September 29, 2018		March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019		March 28, 2020		March 30, 2019

Total stock-based compensation expense	$	10.3	$	8.1	$	11.7	$	10.8	$	33.3	$	28.5

Approximately ~~$1.0~~$1.1 million and ~~$0.9~~$1.0 million of stock-based compensation expense was capitalized to inventory as of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 29, 2018,~~March 30, 2019, respectively.

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 ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 29, 2018,~~March 30, 2019, the Company granted ~~2.9~~3.2 million and ~~3.4~~3.8 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 ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 29, 2018,~~March 30, 2019, the Company granted 0.5 million and 0.5 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 of the relevant performance conditions. The shares attained over target upon vesting are reflected as awards granted during the period. Accordingly, during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, the Company granted an additional 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares due to performance-based shares attained over target. The aggregate grant-date fair value of performance-based awards granted during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 were estimated to be $7.7 million and $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

of the relevant performance conditions. The shares attained over target upon vesting are reflected as awards granted during the period. Accordingly, during the three months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, the Company granted additional 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares due to performance-based shares attained over target. The aggregate grant-date fair value of performance-based awards granted during the three months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 were estimated to be $7.7 million and $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~~conditions were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019, $78.1~~2020, $65.7 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 2.1 years.~~

Note 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 ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the U.K. plan 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 unfunded plans, the Company pays the post-retirement benefits when due. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company contributed $0.6 million to the U.K. plan and ~~$0.9~~$3.6 million to the other plans. The funded plan assets consist primarily of managed investments.

The following table presents the components of net periodic cost for the pension and benefits plans (in millions):


	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018			March 28, 2020			March 30, 2019			March 28, 2020			March 30, 2019
Service cost	$	0.1		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	0.2		$	0.1
Interest cost	0.4			0.6			0.5			0.6			1.4			1.8
Expected return on plan assets	(0.4		)	(0.4		)	(0.4		)	(0.4		)	(1.2		)	(1.2		)
Amortization of net actuarial losses	0.7			0.6			0.7			0.5			2.2			1.5
Net periodic benefit cost	$	0.8		$	0.8		$	0.8		$	0.7		$	2.6		$	2.2

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 $7.8 million related to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2020 to make current benefit payments and fund future obligations. As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, approximately ~~$1.5~~$4.2 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 29, 2019.

Note 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.

Table of Contents

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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 ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the related accrued pension liability was £6.5 million or $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,

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 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 0 liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and June 29, 2019.

Outstanding Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company had standby letters of credit of $7.4 million and performance bonds of ~~$0.9~~$1.0 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 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 Company also offers a range of product support and professional services such as repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for our products.

(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 2 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 (benefits) charges, impairment of goodwill, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, 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.

OUR INDUSTRIES AND QUARTERLY DEVELOPMENTS

Viavi Solutions Inc. (“VIAVI” also referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”), is a global provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions to communications service providers (“CSPs”), enterprises, network equipment manufacturers, government and avionics. We help these customers harness the power of instruments, automation, intelligence and virtualization to command the network. VIAVI is also a leader in light management solutions for 3D sensing, anti-counterfeiting, consumer electronics, industrial, automotive, and defense applications.

To serve our markets we operate in the following business segments:

Network Enablement (“NE”);

Service Enablement (“SE”), and;

Optical Security and Performance Products (“OSP”).

Network Enablement

NE provides an integrated portfolio of 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. They also support more profitable, higher-performing networks and facilitate time-to-revenue.

Our solutions address lab and production environments, field deployment and service assurance for wireless and fixed communications networks, including storage networks. Our test instrument portfolio is one of the largest in the industry, with hundreds of thousands of units in active use by major network equipment manufacturers (“NEMs”), operators and services providers worldwide. Designed to be mobile, these products include instruments and software that access the network to perform installation and maintenance tasks. They help service provider technicians assess the performance of network elements and segments and verify the integrity of the information being transmitted across the network. These instruments are highly intelligent and have user interfaces that are designed to simplify operations and minimize the training required to operate them. Our NE solutions are also used by NEMs in the design and production of next-generation network equipment. Other Test & Measurement communications products also serve the public safety, government, and aerospace and defense markets.

We also offer a range of product support and professional services designed to comprehensively address our customers’ requirements. These services include repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for our products. We offer product and technology training as well as consulting services. Our professional services, provided in conjunction with system integration projects, include project management, installation and implementation.

NE customers include CSPs, NEMs, government organizations and large corporate customers, such as major telecom, mobility and cable operators, chip and infrastructure vendors, storage-device manufacturers, storage-network and switch vendors, and deployed private enterprise customers. Our customers include América Móvil, AT&T Inc., CenturyLink Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Comcast Corporation, Nokia Networks and Verizon Communications, Inc.

Our NE products and associated services including acquired business are described below:

Field Instruments: Primarily consisting of (a) Cable and Access products; (b) Fiber Instrument products; (c) Metro products; (d) RF Test products; (e) Radio Test products; and (f) Avionics products.

Lab Instruments: Primarily consisting of (a) Fiber Optic Production Lab Test; (b) Optical Transport products; (c) Storage Network Test products; and (d) Wireless products.

Service Enablement

SE provides embedded systems and performance management solutions that give global CSPs, enterprises and cloud operators visibility into network, service and application data. These solutions - which primarily consist of

instruments, microprobes and software - monitor, collect and analyze network data to reveal the actual customer experience, deliver insights to optimize performance, detect security threats, and identify opportunities for new revenue streams.

Our SE solutions portfolio delivers service assurance for operational wireless and fixed communications networks also addressed by our NE portfolio, primarily supporting CSPs. Additionally, our SE portfolio supports network performance monitoring for enterprises and cloud operators. As service providers and enterprises shift their networks to a hybrid physical-cloud state, the SE portfolio provides our customers with dynamic and remote network management, control, and optimization. They can initiate service to new customers faster, decrease the need for technicians to make on-site service calls, reduce mean time to repair and, as a result, lower costs while providing higher quality and more reliable services. Remote monitoring decreases operating expenses, while early detection helps increase uptime, preserve revenue, and helps operators better monetize their networks.

SE customers include similar CSPs, NEMs, government organizations, large corporate customers, and storage-segment customers that are served by our NE segment.

Our SE products and associated services are described below:

Data Center: Consisting of our Network Performance Monitoring and Security products.

Assurance: Primarily consisting of our (a) Growth Products (Core and Edge Assurance products) and (b) Mature Products (Legacy Assurance and Legacy Wireline) ~~and (b) Growth Products (Core and Edge assurance products)~~.

Optical Security and Performance Products

Our OSP segment leverages its core optical coating technologies and volume manufacturing capability to design, manufacture, and sell products targeting anti-counterfeiting, consumer and industrial, government, healthcare and other markets.

Our security offerings for the currency market include, Optically Variable Pigment (“OVP®”) and Optically Variable Magnetic Pigment (“OVMP®”). OVP® enables a color-shifting effect used by banknote issuers and security printers worldwide for anti-counterfeiting applications on banknotes and other high-value documents. Our technologies are deployed on the banknotes of more than 100 countries today. OVMP is an advanced product version of OVP with the added magnetic property feature.

Leveraging our expertise in spectral management and our unique high-precision coating capabilities, OSP provides a range of products and technologies for the consumer and industrial market, including, for example, 3D Sensing optical filters and Engineered Diffusers^TM.

These products, including coatings and optical filters, are optimized for each specific application.

OSP serves customers such as, L-3 Communications, Lockheed Martin, Seiko Epson, SICPA and STMicroelectronics.

COVID-19 Update

The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict. See Item 1A: “Risk Factors” for additional details. In ~~October 2017~~an effort to protect the health and ~~again~~safety of our employees, customers, and partners, our global workforce is largely working from home and business travel has been severely curtailed. We have shut down, slowed, or modified business operations in ~~October 2019,~~certain locations, including in some instances, limiting production to essential business services, all in conjunction with federal, state, and local health and safety regulations and shelter-in-place directives. We experienced some disruption of our facilities, suppliers, and contract manufacturers which negatively impacted our sales and operating results. We have also experienced some shipping and logistics challenges as our customers also closed facilities and are operating under similar restrictions. In locations where we ~~temporarily closed~~are conducting essential business activities, we have taken certain safety measures, including enhanced sanitation, health checks and social distancing.

Capital markets and worldwide economies have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is possible that it could cause a sustained local and/or global economic recession.

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 2019 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 financial reporting of leasing arrangements from the adoption of ASC 842 - Leases. Refer to “Note 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.

COVID-19

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation and guidance from international and domestic authorities, including federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on their recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the

ultimate impacts of COVID-19 on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future. However, if the COVID-19 pandemic is prolonged and there are continued delays in resumption of normal business operations and activities, we expect that it could have a material negative impact on our future revenue growth as well as our overall profitability.

Three months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September 29, 2018~~March 30, 2019

Net revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$31.3~~$9.0 million, or ~~11.7%~~3.4%, during the three months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was due to revenue decrease from our NE and SE segments, partially offset by revenue increase in our OSP segment.

Product revenues decreased by $8.3 million, or 3.6%, during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago, due to revenue decrease from our NE and SE segments, partially offset by revenue increase in our OSP segment as discussed below.

Service revenues decreased by $0.7 million, or 2.1%, during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to revenue decreased from our NE and SE segments.

NE net revenue decreased by $16.6 million, or 9.2%, during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was driven primarily by the impact to our business from the COVID-19 lockdown and Field Instruments, such as Cable and Access. The COVID-19 lockdown has resulted in certain customer operation and logistic shutdowns, that resulted in shipment or acceptance delays, which resulted in a demand slowdown in our Field Instruments with orders pushed out into prospective periods.

SE net revenue decreased by $1.8 million, or 7.2%, during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease is primarily driven by the effects of COVID-19, as customers under lockdown were unable to provide on-site verification and acceptance and from the continued runoff of Mature Assurance products.

OSP net revenue increased by $9.4 million, or 15.7%, during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase ~~was due to~~is primarily driven by growth in revenue ~~increase from~~in our NEAnti-Counterfeiting products.

Nine Months Ended March 28, 2020 and ~~OSP segments.~~March 30, 2019

~~Product revenues~~Net revenue increased by ~~$23.7~~$29.1 million, or ~~9.8%~~3.5%, during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago due to revenue increase from our NE and OSP segments, partially offset by ~~revenue declines in~~ our SE segment discussed below.

Product revenues increased by $24.5 million, or 3.3% during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily from our NE and OSP segments as discussed below.

Service revenues increased by ~~$7.6~~$4.6 million, or ~~27.7%~~4.9%, during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to increased support revenue from ~~our~~the NE ~~segment.~~segment, partially offset by a decline in support contract renewals for the SE segment as discussed below.

NE net revenue increased by ~~$34.4~~$25.3 million, or ~~20.9%~~4.7%, during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago.

SE net revenue decreased by ~~$5.3~~$4.1 million, or ~~20.2%~~5.2%, during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago. ~~Due to~~This decrease was primarily driven by the effect of COVID-19 and continued ~~runoff~~run-off of our Mature Assurance ~~products and lower demand~~portfolio solutions, partially offset by an increase in revenues from 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~~$7.9 million, or ~~2.8%~~3.6%, during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase ~~was~~is primarily driven by an increased demand from our 3D Sensing ~~demand by the broadening of customer base for optical filters and continued adoption of Engineered Diffusers~~^TMby 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.products.

Going forward, we expect 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, seasonality, profitability, and general financial performance, ~~and that~~which could create ~~quarter~~period over ~~quarter~~period 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.

Additionally, 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; (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; (e) the impact of ongoing global trade policies, tariffs and sanctions; and (f) regulatory or economic developments and/or technology challenges that slow or change the rate of adoption of 5G, 3D Sensing and other emerging secular technologies and platforms.

In 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 deployment, 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 the next several quarters. We also expect 3D Sensing revenue increase, driven by adoption of 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 three months ended ~~September~~March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 represented 65.3% and ~~September 29, 2018 represented 64.7% and 65.0%~~64.1% of net revenue, respectively.

Net revenue from customers outside the Americas during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019 represented 64.2% and 62.6% 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~~decreased by ~~2.2~~0.6 percentage points during the three months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 from ~~56.0%~~57.9% in the same period a year ago to ~~58.2%~~57.3% in the current period. This decrease was primarily driven by lower revenue

volume in our NE segment. The decrease was partially offset by gross margin improvement in our SE and OSP segments as discussed below in the Operating Segment Information section.

Gross margin increased by 1.4 percentage points during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 from 57.3% in the same period a year ago to 58.7% in the current period. This increase was primarily driven by higher revenue volume and favorable product mix within our NE segment and gross margin improvement in our OSP ~~segments. The~~segment. This increase was partially offset by gross margin reduction in our SE segment as discussed ~~below.~~below in the Operating Segment Information section.

As discussed in more detail under “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~~decreased by ~~$8.9~~$1.9 million, or ~~20.9%~~3.9%, during the three months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily driven by cost efficiencies during the period. As a percentage of net revenue, R&D decreased by 0.1 percentage points during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago.

R&D expense increased by $11.4 million, or 8.3%, during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by targeted investments to support increased demand for our ~~Wireless products~~key product lines and additional R&D costs incurred from our ~~acquisitions in the prior year.~~acquired businesses. As a percentage of net revenue R&D increased by ~~1.3~~0.8 percentage points during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 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~~decreased by ~~$8.8~~$3.2 million or ~~10.4%~~3.7%, during the three months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to decreased spend on sales commissions and lower travel expenses in the current period. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A decreased 0.1 percentage points during the three months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago.

SG&A expense increased by $3.4 million, or 1.3%, during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase ~~was~~is primarily due to ~~on going~~ongoing investments including upgrading our ERP and related systems, targeted investments to support increased demand for our Wireless, Fiber and ~~Fiber~~3D Sensing products and additional SG&A costs incurred from our ~~acquisitions~~acquired businesses. It is partially offset by the change in ~~the prior year and an increase to the~~ fair value of ~~our earn-out liabilities in the current period.~~contingent consideration. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A decreased ~~0.3~~0.6 percentage points during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 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, 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~~

As of ~~approximately $24.3~~March 28, 2020, our total restructuring accrual was $1.3 million. During the three and nine months ended March 28, 2020, we recorded restructuring and related benefits of $1.6 million ~~excluding any one-time~~and $2.2 million respectively, in restructuring and related charges. During the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019, we recorded restructuring and related charges ~~as a result~~ of ~~recent restructuring activities initiated in the last twelve months.~~$0.9 million and $16.0 million, respectively. Refer to “Note 13. Restructuring and Related Charges” for more information.

As of September 28, 2019, our total restructuring accrual was $11.4 million. During the three months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, we recorded $0.3 million and $14.8 million respectively, in restructuring and related charges.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income, net, was ~~$2.7~~$5.3 million during the three months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to ~~$1.7~~$0.9 million the same period a year ago. This ~~$1.0~~$4.4 million increase was primarily driven by ~~the $1.8~~$4.1 million favorable foreign exchange impact as the balance sheet hedging program provided a more favorable offset to the remeasurement of underlying foreign exchange exposures during the current period.

Interest and other income, net, was $9.3 million during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 compared to $4.1 million the same period ~~which~~a year ago. This $5.2 million increase was ~~partially~~driven by $5.4 million favorable foreign exchange impact as the balance sheet hedging program provided a more favorable offset ~~by a decrease~~to the remeasurement of ~~$0.8 million interest income, due to lower investments balance~~underlying foreign exchange exposures during the current period.

Interest Expense

Interest expense ~~decrease~~increased by ~~$1.8~~$0.4 million, or ~~17.8%~~5.0%, during the three months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily due to the increase in debt discount accretion of the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes during the current period.

Interest expense decreased by $1.1 million, or 4.2%, during the nine months ended March 28, 2020 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to ~~the~~a decrease in debt discount accretion asof the 2033 Notes during the current period as the notes were fully redeemed or converted in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

Provision for Income Taxes

~~The Company~~We recorded an income tax ~~expense~~provision of ~~$8.3~~$38.8 million and ~~$5.7~~$57.0 million for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020, respectively. We recorded an income tax provision of $5.6 million and ~~September 29, 2018~~$22.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019, respectively.

The income tax ~~expense~~provision for the three and nine months ended ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019~~2020 primarily relates to a $31.6 million charge for withholding taxes expected to be paid on the repatriation of $316.4 million of foreign earnings that we no longer considers to be permanently reinvested. In light of the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19, we reevaluated its historic assertion on foreign earnings and ~~September 29, 2018~~no longer considers these earnings to be permanently reinvested. The repatriation of these earnings will increase available cash in U.S and provide greater U.S. financial flexibility to assist us in navigating the expected downturn in the economy. The foreign earning can be repatriated to the U.S. without incurring any significant additional U.S current or deferred tax expense. In addition, the income tax provision for the period includes the income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on our forecasted pre-tax income or loss for the respective fiscal year.The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2019 primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on ~~the Company’s~~our forecasted pre-tax income or loss for the respective fiscal year.

The income tax ~~expense~~provision recorded differs from the expected tax ~~benefit~~provision that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our ~~loss~~income from continuing operations before taxes primarily due to the withholding taxes accrued on foreign earnings and the changes in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to our domestic and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations.

As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, and June 29, 2019, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled ~~$50.4~~$50.6 million and $50.9 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. We had ~~$3.4~~$3.5 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019.~~2020. 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 will change materially in the next 12 months, given the uncertainty in the development of ongoing income tax examinations, we are unable to estimate the full range of possible adjustments to this balance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 28, 2020 and June 29, 2019, we had assets classified as cash and cash equivalents, as well as short-term investments and short term restricted cash, in an aggregate amount of $537.3 million and $526.5 million, respectively.

Our cash investments are made in accordance with an investment policy approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and has not changed from that disclosed in our 10-K. As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, U.S. entities owned approximately ~~27.4%~~18.9% of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in global capital markets and overtime may impact our ability to obtain credit and/or negotiate acceptable financing terms.

As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, 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 ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, 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 ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, none of the 2033 Notes remain outstanding. For additional information related to our debt refer to “Note 11. Debt.”

On May 5, 2020, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) as administrative agent, and other lender related parties. The Credit Agreement provides for a $300 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which matures on March 1, 2023. The Credit Agreement also provides that, under certain circumstances, we may incur term loans or increase the aggregate principal amount of revolving commitments by an aggregate amount of up to $200 million plus additional amounts so long as our secured net leverage ratio, determined on a pro forma basis does not exceed 1.50:1.00. The proceeds from the credit facility established under the Credit Agreement will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement accrue interest at a rate equal to either, at our election, LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.50% per annum, or a specified base rate plus a margin of 0.75% to 1.50%, in each case, depending on our consolidated secured leverage ratio. We are required to pay commitment fee on the unutilized portion of the facility which ranges between 0.30% and 0.40% per annum depending on our consolidated secured leverage ratio. As of May 7, 2020, we had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

~~Three~~Nine Months Ended ~~September~~March 28, 2020

As of March 28, 2020, our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash increased by $10.5 million to $540.9 million from $530.4 million as of June 29, 2019.

During the nine months ended March 28, 2020, Cash provided by operating activities was $108.4 million, consisting of net income of $2.0 million adjusted for non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and change in fair value of contingent liabilities) which totaled $159.4 million, including changes in deferred tax balances, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $53.0 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $41.6 million mainly driven by a decrease in customer deposit, a decrease in accounts payable of $16.0 million primarily driven by timing of purchases and related payments, a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses of $10.3 million due to the timing of salary and related payments, and an increase in accounts receivable of $6.6 million due to the higher billings. These changes were partially offset by an increase in income taxes payable and other tax liabilities of $8.6 million, a decrease in inventories of $3.6 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $7.4 million due to the amortization of support agreements and the release of revenue upon customer acceptance, and a decrease in other current and non-current assets of $1.9 million.

During the nine months ended March 28, 2020, Cash used in investing activities was $20.1 million, primarily related to $23.6 million of cash used for capital expenditures, offset by $4.0 million proceeds from sales of assets.

During the nine months ended March 28, 2020, Cash used in financing activities was $58.8 million, primarily resulting from $43.8 million in cash paid to repurchase common stock under our share repurchase program, $18.4 million in withholding tax payments on the vesting of restricted stock awards, and $2.1 million payments on financing obligations; offset by $5.5 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Nine Months Ended March 30, 2019

As of ~~September 28,~~March 30, 2019, our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents ~~short-term investments,~~ and restricted cash ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$3.8~~$108.5 million to ~~$530.3~~$515.8 million from ~~$526.5~~$624.3 million as of June ~~29, 2019.~~30, 2018.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September 28,~~March 30, 2019, Cash provided by operating activities was ~~$31.3~~$110.3 million, consisting of net ~~income~~loss of ~~$6.8~~$7.1 million adjusted for non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) which totaled $43.7 million, including changes in deferred tax balances, and changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $19.2 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to an increase in inventories of $3.4 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $4.1 million, an increase in other current and non-current assets of $1.7 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $1.6 million and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $14.7 million. These changes were partially offset by an increase in accrued payroll and related expenses of $3.8 million, an increase in income taxes payable of $2.0 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.5 million.

During the three months ended September 28, 2019, Cash used in investing activities was $5.9 million, primarily related to $7.1 million of cash used for capital expenditures, offset by $1.2 million proceeds from sales of assets.

During the three months ended September 28, 2019, Cash used in financing activities was $7.8 million, primarily resulting from $7.6 million in withholding tax payments on the vesting of restricted stock awards, $1.5 million in cash paid to repurchase common stock under our share repurchase program and $1.0 million payments on financing obligations; offset by $2.3 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

~~Three Months Ended September 29, 2018~~

As of September 29, 2018, our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash decreased by $128.6 million to $665.0 million from $793.6 million as of June 30, 2018.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, Cash provided by operating activities was $27.6 million, consisting of net loss of $15.3 million adjusted for non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) which totaled $42.3$129.4 million, including changes in deferred tax balance, and changes in operating assets and liabilities that ~~provided $0.6~~used $12.0 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to an increase in accounts ~~payable~~receivable of ~~$3.7~~$7.9 million primarily driven by ~~timing~~higher volume of ~~payments, an increase in accrued payroll and related expenses of $2.6 million due to bonus accruals,~~billing, an increase in inventories of ~~$1.4 million due to increased shipments of 3D Sensing products, an increase in income taxes payable of $1.3~~$5.1 million, an increase in ~~deferred revenue~~other current and non-current assets of ~~$1.1~~$0.4 million and an ~~increase~~decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of ~~$0.1~~$5.2 million. These changes were partially offset by an increase in ~~accounts receivable~~income taxes payable of ~~$6.7~~$4.4 million ~~due to higher billings~~ and an increase in ~~other current and non-current assets~~deferred revenue of ~~$2.9~~$2.4 million.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September 29, 2018,~~March 30, 2019, Cash provided by investing activities was ~~$107.0~~$82.0 million, primarily related to ~~$117.5~~$142.2 million in sales and maturities of available-for-sale debt securities and ~~$1.6~~$4.2 million proceeds from

sales of assets; offset by ~~$12.1~~$34.7 million of cash used for capital ~~expenditures.~~expenditures and $29.7 million used for acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~September 29, 2018,~~March 30, 2019, Cash used in financing activities was ~~$138.4~~$293.6 million, primarily resulting from ~~$134.3~~$276.9 million used for ~~repurchase~~redemption and conversion of our 2033 Notes, ~~$5.5~~$11.9 million in withholding tax payments on vesting of restricted stock awards, $9.0 million in cash paid to repurchase common stock under our share repurchase program, and ~~$0.7~~$1.2 million in payment of financing obligations; offset by ~~$2.1~~$5.4 million in proceeds from ~~the exercise of stock options and~~ the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

We believe that our existing cash balances and investments as well as availability under the $300 million revolving credit facility 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;

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition;

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 ~~first~~third quarter of fiscal 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 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 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. plan is partially funded, and the other Germany plans, which were initially established as “pay-as-you-go” plans, are unfunded. As of ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, our pension plans were under funded by ~~$104.8~~$102.9 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 ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019,~~2020, the fair value of plan assets had ~~increased~~decreased approximately ~~4.7%~~8.8% since June 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 $9.2 million based upon data as of June 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 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 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 ~~September~~March 28, ~~2019.~~2020.

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 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.

We face risks related to health pandemics and other widespread outbreaks of contagious disease, which could significantly disrupt our operations and impact our operations and financial results.

Significant outbreaks of contagious diseases, and other adverse public health developments, could have a material impact on our business operations and operating results. In December 2019, a strain of novel coronavirus causing respiratory illness emerged in the city of Wuhan in the Hubei province of China which has subsequently spread globally and been declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have prioritized employee, customer and partner safety and have temporarily shut down, slowed or limited activity in certain locations, including limiting production in certain locations to essential business needs, all in conjunction with federal, state and local health and safety regulations and shelter-in-place orders. We have canceled participation in trade shows and marketing events and restricted business travel, resulting in the limitation of normal sales and business development activity. The majority of our global workforce is working from home. The immediate impacts of the pandemic to our business include a decline in revenues and some decrease in demand as customers delayed purchase decisions or placed orders on hold. Further, we have experienced shipping and logistics challenges as customers operating in lockdown mode were not onsite to take delivery of product.

We operate facilities around the world, all of which could be adversely affected by the prolonged impacts of the pandemic, including disruptions to our supply chain, production, transportation and delivery of our products. Demand for our products could be significantly and adversely affected. There is currently no vaccine for COVID-19 and therapeutic medications to date have had limited efficacy in alleviating symptoms. When and as normal business operations resume, we will need to expand globally the safety measures we have already undertaken at sites conducting essential business, such as enhanced sanitation procedures, health checks and social distancing protocols, none of which can completely eliminate the risk of exposure or spread of COVID-19. Even after shelter-in-place restrictions have been lifted by governmental authorities, there could be additional waves or spikes in infection, again causing widespread social, economic and operational impacts.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the economies and financial markets in many countries, which may result in regional or global economic slowdowns or recessions that could further curtail or delay spending by our customers and decrease demand for our products as well as cause an increased risk of customer defaults or delays in payment. Current economic conditions have already led to a tightening of credit markets. We entered into a $300 million dollar secured credit facility in May 2020, refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management Discussion and Analysis for further information. If there is a long-term economic downturn or a prolonged recession as a result of the pandemic, we could face additional liquidity needs and challenges. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all.

Due to the evolving and highly uncertain nature of this event, it is currently not possible to estimate the ultimate direct or indirect impacts the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business, however, any prolonged disruption of manufacturing of our products, commerce and related activity caused by the pandemic could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions. As a result of the highly fluid and uncertain nature of this event, we have suspended our guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020.
