KVH’s mobile connectivity products enable customers to receive voice services,and Internet services, and live digital television via satellite services in marine vessels, recreational vehicles, buses and automobiles. KVH’s CommBox offers a range of tools designed to increase communication efficiency, reduce costs, and manage network operations. KVH sells and leases its mobile connectivity products through an extensive international network of dealers and distributors. KVH also sells and leases products directly to end users. In March 2019, KVH introduced a 1-meter Ku/C-band antenna designed to deliver download/upload speeds as fast as 20 Mbps/3Mbps through a dual Ku/C-band design that automatically switches between bandwidths to deliver expanded global coverage on KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband high-throughput satellite (HTS) network. In March 2019, KVH further expanded the mini-VSAT Broadband HTS network for the entire Pacific Ocean region via the Horizons 3e satellite, which is jointly owned by Intelsat and SKY Perfect JSAT. The high-performance Horizons 3e satellite immediately adds to the global coverage and capacity of KVH’s mini-VSAT Broadband HTS network, which provides connectivity to vessels worldwide.


KVH’s mobile connectivity service sales represent primarily represent sales earned from satellite voice and Internet airtime services. KVH provides, for monthly fixed and usage fees, satellite connectivity services, including broadband Internet, data and VoIP services, to its TracPhone V-series customers. The Company offers AgilePlans, a monthly mini-VSAT Broadband service offering, is a monthly subscription model providing global connectivity to commercial maritime customers, including hardware, installation, broadband Internet, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), entertainment and training content and global support for a monthly fee with no minimum commitment. KVH offers AgilePlans customers a variety of airtime data plans with varying data speeds and fixed data usage levels with overage charges per megabyte, which is similar to the plans that the Company offers to its other customers. The Company recognizes the monthly subscription fee as service revenue over the service delivery period. The Company retains ownership of the hardware that it provides to AgilePlans customers, who must return the hardware to KVH if they decide to terminate the service. Because KVH does not sell the hardware under AgilePlans, the Company does not recognize any product revenue when the hardware is deployed to an AgilePlans customer. KVH records the cost of the hardware used by AgilePlans customers as revenue-generating assets and depreciates the cost over an estimated useful life of five years. Since the Company retainsis retaining ownership of the hardware, it does not accrue any warranty costs for AgilePlans hardware; however, any maintenance costs foron the hardware are expensed in the period these costs are incurred.

Mobile connectivity service sales also include the distribution of commercially licensed entertainment, including news, sports, music, and movies to commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets through KVH Media Group, and the distribution of training films and eLearning computer-based training courses to commercial customers in the maritime market through Super Dragon Limited and Videotel Marine Asia Limited (together referred to as Videotel).Group.

(9)  Product Warranty
The Company’s products carry standard limited warranties that range from one to two years and vary by product. The warranty period begins on the date of retail purchase or lease by the original purchaser. The Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale and any additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold or leased, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. Warranty and related costs are reflected within sales, marketing and support in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had accrued product warranty costs of $2,021$2,212 and $1,916,$2,194, respectively.

(11)  Segment Reporting


The financial results of each segment are based on revenues from external customers, cost of revenue and operating expenses that are directly attributable to the segment and an allocation of costs from shared functions. These shared functions include, but are not limited to, facilities, human resources, information technology, and engineering. Allocations are made based on management’s judgment of the most relevant factors, such as head count, number of customer sites, or other operational data that contribute to the shared costs. Certain corporate-level costs have not been allocated as they are not directly attributable to either segment. These costs primarily consist of broad corporate functions, including executive, legal, finance, and costs associated with corporate actions. Segment-level asset information has not been provided as such information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources.

(14)  Fair Value Measurements


ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1:Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets are investments in money market mutual funds.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets are investments in money market mutual funds.
Level 2:Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or observable prices that are based on observable market data, based on directly or indirectly market-corroborated inputs. The Company’s Level 2 liabilities are interest rate swaps.


Level 3:Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are developed based on the best information available given the circumstances. The Company has no Level 3 assets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or observable prices that are based on observable market data, based on directly or indirectly market-corroborated inputs. The Company has no Level 2 assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are developed based on the best information available given the circumstances. The Company has no Level 3 assets.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on the valuation techniques identified in the table below. The valuation techniques are:

(a)Market approach—prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets.

(b)The valuations of the interest rate swaps intended to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk are determined with the assistance of a third-party financial institution using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and interest rate volatility, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity.



The following tables present financial assets and liabilities at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 for which the Company measures fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:

Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of the Company's debtoperating and financing lease liabilities approximates fair value based on currently available quoted rates of similarly structured debt.borrowings.


Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis


The Company's non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets resulting from business combinations, are measured at fair value using income approach valuation methodologies at the date of acquisition and subsequently re-measured if an impairment exists. There were no impairments of the Company’s non-financial assets noted as of March 31, 2019.2020. The Company does not have any liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Intangible assets arose from an acquisition made prior to 2013 and the acquisition of KVH Media Group (acquired as Headland Media Limited) in May 2013 and the acquisition of Videotel in July 2014.2013. Intangibles arising from the acquisition made prior to 2013 are beingwere amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 7 years. Intangibles arising from the acquisition of KVH Media Group are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of: (i) 10 years for acquired subscriber relationships and (ii) 15 years for distribution rights, (iii) 3 years for internally developed software and (iv) 2 years for proprietary content. Intangibles arising from the acquisition of Videotel are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of: (i) 8 years for acquired subscriber relationships, (ii) 5 years for favorable leases, (iii) 4 years for internally developed software and (iv) 5 years for proprietary content.rights. The intangibles arising from the KVH Media Group and Videotel acquisitionsacquisition were recorded in pounds sterling and fluctuations in exchange rates could cause these amounts to increase or decrease from time to time.


In January 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of certain subscriber relationships from a third party. This acquisition did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805)-Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which the Company adopted on October 1, 2016. The Company ascribed $100 of the initial purchase price to the acquired subscriber relationships definite-lived intangible assets with an initial estimated useful life of 10 years. Under the asset purchase agreement, the purchase price includes a component of contingent consideration under which the Company is required to pay a percentage of recurring revenues received from the acquired subscriber relationships through 2026 up to a maximum annual payment of $114. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the carrying value of the intangible assets acquired in the asset acquisition was $202.$293. As the acquisition did not represent a business combination, the contingent consideration arrangement is recognized only when the contingency is resolved and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. The amounts payable under the contingent consideration arrangement, if any, will be included in the measurement of the cost of the acquired subscriber relationships. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, $252020, $22 additional consideration was earned under the contingent consideration arrangement.

For definite lived intangible assets, the Company assesses the carrying value of these assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset, or asset group, to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, or asset group. There were no eventsLike most companies, the COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted many areas of our operations and the Company is monitoring the impact of this global crisis carefully. The operations of our KVH Media Group have been particularly impacted due in part to the global reduction in travel resulting from the pandemic. Consequently, the Company has reviewed, and will continue to review, the forecasted revenues and cash flows of our content business for possible indications that the goodwill or changesother intangible assets associated with this component of our business might be impaired. At this point, our review indicates that 0 impairment to the carrying value of these assets has occurred. However, it is uncertain how long the global pandemic will continue to disrupt global businesses, particularly travel, and therefore it is possible that the value of these assets may become impaired in circumstances during the first quarter of 2019 which indicated that an assessmentfuture as a result of the impairmentCOVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the KVH Media Group was required.$10,329 and $4,432, respectively.


(16)  Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606)


The Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle that is expectedwas intended to more closely align revenue recognition with the delivery of the Company's products and services and is expected to provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised products and services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these products and services.


During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company identified an out-of-period immaterial error related to the implementation and application of ASC 606 with respect to the recognition of revenue associated with sales-type leases. During the implementation of ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018, the Company treated the leased products and services for these contracts as single performance obligations as if they were not distinct in the context of the contract; however, the leased product portion should have continued to have been accounted for under ASC 840 (now ASC 842). In general, the error was to defer recognition of product revenue and associated expenses for sales-type leases rather than to recognize those items upon shipment. The following table reflects these financial statement line items for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as reported and as adjusted (in thousands):

The Company has evaluated this error and does not believe the amounts are material for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

For mobile connectivity product sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to the customer at a point in time, with the exception of certain mini-VSAT contracts which are transferred to customers over time. For mobile connectivity service sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations and associated revenue are transferred to the customer over time. For inertial navigation product sales, the delivery of the Company’s performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to the customer at a point in time. For inertial navigation service sales, the Company's performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers over time.


Business and Credit Concentrations


Concentrations of risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across several geographic areas. Although the Company does not foresee that credit risk associated with these receivables will deviate from historical experience, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of those individual customers. The Company establishes allowances for potential bad debts and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for future collectability concerns. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and generally does not require collateral. 


No single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 20192020 or 20182019 or accounts receivable at March 31, 20192020 or December 31, 2018.2019.


Certain components from third parties used in the Company’s products are procured from single sources of supply. The failure of a supplier, including a subcontractor, to deliver on schedule could delay or interrupt the Company’s delivery of products and thereby materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results.

(17)  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities


Effective April 1, 2010, in order to reduce the volatility of cash outflows that arise from changes in interest rates, the Company entered into two2 interest rate swap agreements. These interest rate swap agreements were intended to hedge the Company’s mortgage loan related to its headquarters facility in Middletown, Rhode Island by fixing the interest rates specified in the mortgage loan to 5.9% for half of the principal amount outstanding and 6.1% for the remaining half of the principal amount outstanding as of April 1, 2010 until the mortgage loan expiresexpired on April 1, 2019. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. For a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI")(AOCI) to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in the cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. As the Company made the required principal and interest payments under the mortgage loan and the related interest rate swaps were settled, the Company reclassified the amounts recorded in AOCI related to the changes in the fair value of the settled interest rate swaps to earnings. To the extent there iswas any hedge ineffectiveness, changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion arewere immediately recognized in earnings in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statements of Operations.operations. The interest rate swap was recorded within accrued other liabilities on the balance sheet. The critical terms of the interest rate swaps were designed to mirror the terms of the Company’s mortgage loans. The Company designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on principal over a nine-yearnine-year period, which ended on April 1, 2019. As of March 31,On April 1, 2019, the Company determined that the existence of hedge ineffectiveness, if any, was immaterial and all changes in the fair value of thetwo interest rate caps were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income as a component of AOCI.

As of March 31, 2019,swaps matured and the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:made its final payment for its mortgage loan thereafter.

(18)  Income Taxes


The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 was (0.6)(6.5)% compared with (4.8)%0.7% for the corresponding period in the prior year. The effective income tax rate is based on estimated income for the year, the estimated composition of the income in different jurisdictions and discrete adjustments, if any, in the applicable periods, including retroactive changes in tax legislation, settlements of tax audits or assessments, and the resolution or identification of tax position uncertainties.


For the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the effective tax rate wasrates were lower than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the Company maintaining a valuation allowance reserve on its US deferred tax assets and to the composition of income from foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates.


As of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company had reserves for uncertain tax positions of $1,141$532 and $1,116,$521, respectively. There were no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 to the Company’s reserve for uncertain tax positions. The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 20192020 may decrease $359$32 in the next twelve months as a result of a lapse of statutes of limitations and settlements with taxing authorities.


The Company’s tax jurisdictions include the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Cyprus, Norway, Brazil, Singapore, Belgium, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, India and Japan. In general, the statute of limitations with respect to the Company's United States federal income taxes has expired for years prior to 2014,2016, and the relevant state and foreign statutes vary. However, preceding years remain open to examination by United States federal and state and foreign taxing authorities to the extent of future utilization of net operating losses and research and development tax credits generated in each preceding year.

(19)  Leases

The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. ASC 842 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases. The original guidance required application of ASC 842 on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842, which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date as the date of initial application of transition. The Company elected not to restate comparative periods and, accordingly, the financial results reported for periods prior to January 1, 2019 have not been restated. In ASC 842, a lease is defined as follows: “[a] contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration.”

Upon adoption, the Company recognized all leases greater than one year in duration on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company made certain assumptions and judgments when applying ASC 842. The Company elected practical expedients available for the transition, such as whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease, lease classification for expired or existing leases, and whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under ASC 842. For all asset classes, the Company elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components to which they relate and have accounted for the combined lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Many of our lease agreements contain renewal options which are recognized if it is determined that the Company is reasonably certain to renew the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurs. Some of our lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses, rent holidays, capital improvement funding or other lease concessions. The Company recognizes the minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement and amortize such expense over the term of the lease beginning with the commencement date. Variable lease components that are not fixed at the beginning of the lease are recognized as incurred.

Under certain third-party service agreements, the Company controls a specific space or underlying asset used in providing the service by the third-party service provider. These arrangements meet the definition under ASC 842 and therefore are accounted for under ASC 842. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when reasonably certain to be exercised. The present value of lease payments is determined using the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date.




The Company has operating leases for office facilities, equipment, and satellite service capacity and related equipment. Lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,310.$1,262 and $1,265, respectively. Short-term operating lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $61 and $48, respectively. Sublease income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $34.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a five-yearfive-year financing lease for three3 satellite hubs for its HTS network. As of March 31, 2019,2020, the gross costs and accumulated amortization associated with this lease are included in revenue generating assets and amounted to $3,068 and $517,$955, respectively. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments.


The property and equipment held under this financing lease are amortized on a straight‑linestraight-line basis over the seven-yearseven-year estimated useful life of the asset, since the lease meets the bargain purchase option criteria. Amortization of assets held under financing leases is included within depreciation expense. Depreciation expense for these capital assets was $110 and $78 for theboth three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018, respectively.2019.

The Company enters into leases with certain customers primarily of the TracPhone mini-VSAT systems. These leases are classified as sales-type leases as title of the equipment transfers to the customer at the end of the lease term. The Company records the leases at a price typically equivalent to normal selling price and in excess of the cost or carrying amount. Upon delivery, the Company records the net present value of all payments under these leases as revenue, and the related costs of the product are charged to cost of sales. Interest income is recognized throughout the lease term (typically three to five years) using an implicit interest rate. The sales-type leases do not have unguaranteed residual assets.


The current portion of the net investment in these leases was $4,238 as of March 31, 2020 and the non-current portion of the net investment in these leases was $6,597 as of March 31, 2020. The current portion of the net investment in the leases is included in accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the non-current portion of the net investment in these leases is included in other non-current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest income from sales-type leases was $197and $168 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(21) Subsequent Events

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted businesses around the world and led to the start of a global economic recession, we have developed and are implementing a plan to reduce costs and conserve cash balances in the event that the COVID-19 health crisis continues unabated through the remainder of this year or beyond. These plans include, among other things, a reduction in global salaries and benefits at most levels, implementation of a shortened work week in many areas, elimination of most non-essential or discretionary spending, and the indefinite delay of all capital outlays (except in connection with our AgilePlans program and Photonic Integrated Chip initiative). We have also developed contingent action plans that we may implement based on the duration of the health crisis and its continued negative global economic impact which includes furloughing some amount of our workforce or increasing the salary reduction at some or all levels of the Company. We are continuing to monitor global developments and are prepared to implement these and other actions should we consider it necessary.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction


The statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements regarding our future financial results, operating results, business strategies, projected costs, products and services, competitive positions and plans, customer preferences, consumer trends, anticipated product development, and objectives of management for future operations. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Any expectations based on these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and other important factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in Item 1A of Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. These and many other factors could affect our future financial and operating results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this document or elsewhere by us or on our behalf. For example, our expectations regarding certain items as a percentage of sales assume that we will achieve our anticipated sales goals. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.


Overview


We design, develop, manufacture and market mobile connectivity products and services for the marine and land mobile markets, and inertial navigation products for the commercial and defense markets. We operate in two operatingOur reporting segments based on product lines:are as follows:

the mobile connectivity segment and
the inertial navigation segment

Through these segments, we manufacture and inertial navigation.sell our solutions in a number of major geographic areas, including internationally. We generate a majority of our revenues from various international locations, primarily consisting of Canada, Europe (both inside and outside the European Union), Africa, Asia/Pacific, and the Middle East.


Mobile Connectivity Segment


Our mobile connectivity segment offers satellite communications products and services. Our mobile connectivity products enable customers to receive voice and Internet services and live digital television via satellite services in marine vessels, recreational vehicles, buses and automobiles. Our CommBox offers a range of tools designed to increase communication efficiency, reduce costs, and manage network operations. We sell and lease our mobile connectivity products through an extensive international network of dealers and distributors. We also sell and lease products directly to end users.


27


Our mobile connectivity service sales include sales of satellite voice and Internet airtime services, engineering services provided under development contracts, sales from product repairs, and extended warranty sales. Our mobile connectivity service sales also include our distribution of entertainment, including news, sports, music, and movies, to commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets through KVH Media Group, as well as the distribution of training films and eLearning computer-based training courses to commercial customers in the maritime market through our Videotel business.Group. We typically recognize revenue from media content sales ratably over the period of the service contract. We provide, for monthly fixed fees and usage-based fees, satellite connectivity services for broadband Internet, data and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service to our TracPhone V-series customers. We also earn monthly usage fees for third-party satellite connectivity for voice, data and Internet services to our Inmarsat and Iridium customers who choose to activate their subscriptions with us. As a percentage of our consolidated net sales, our service sales were 68% and 65%64% for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018, respectively.2019.


Our marine leisure business withinWithin the mobile connectivity segment, our marine leisure business is highly seasonal, and seasonality can also impact our commercial marine business. Historically, we have generated the majority of our marine leisure product revenues during the first and second quarters of each year, and these revenues typically decline in the third and fourth quarters of each year, compared to the first two quarters. Temporary suspensions of our airtime services typically increase in the third and fourth quarters of each year as boats are placed out of service during the winter months.



Sale of Videotel - Discontinued Operations


In May 2019, we sold our Videotel business, which provided eLearning computer-based training, to an affiliate of Oakley Capital, a UK company, for $89.4 million in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to a working capital adjustment. We made a bridge loan to the purchaser and received payment of the initial purchase price on June 21, 2019. We determined that the sale met the requirements for reporting as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20. Accordingly, we have classified the results of the Videotel business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In December 2019, we finalized the working capital adjustment which reduced the proceeds from the sale of Videotel to $88.4 million. Please see Notes 1 and 20 for further discussion.

Out-of-Period Error

Each of mobile connectivity product sales, costs of product sales, sales, marketing and support expense, income tax benefit and net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes an adjustment to correct an immaterial prior period accounting error related to the implementation and application of ASC 606. See Note 16 of our consolidated interim financial statements for more information.

Inertial Navigation Segment


Our inertial navigation segment offers precision fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based systems that enable platform and optical stabilization, navigation, pointing, and guidance. Our inertial navigation products also include tactical navigation systems that provide uninterrupted access to navigation and pointing information in a variety of military vehicles, including tactical trucks and light armored vehicles. Our inertial navigation products are sold directly to U.S. and foreign governments and government contractors, as well as through an international network of authorized independent sales representatives. In addition, our inertial navigation products are used in numerous commercial products, such as navigation and positioning systems for various applications including precision mapping, dynamic surveying, autonomous vehicles, train location control and track geometry measurement systems, industrial robotics and optical stabilization. Our inertial navigation service sales include engineering services provided under development contracts, product repairs and extended warranty sales.


We generate sales primarily from the sale of our mobile connectivity systems and services and our inertial navigation products and services. The following table provides, for the periods indicated, our sales by segment:

See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our segments.




In addition to our internally funded research and development efforts, we also conduct research and development activities that are funded by our customers. These activities relate primarily to engineering studies, surveys, prototype development, program management, and standard product customization. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we account for customer-funded research as service revenue, and we account for the associated research and development costs as costs of service and product sales. As a result, customer-funded research and development are not included in the research and development expense that we present in our statement of operations. The following table presents our total annual research and development effort, representing the sum of research costs of service and product sales and the operating expense of research and development as described in our statement of operations. Our management believes this information is useful because it provides a better understanding of our total expenditures on research and development activities.

COVID-19 Global Pandemic


The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted businesses around the world and led to the start of a global economic recession. We began to observe the impact of the pandemic on our operating results in our first quarter, particularly in areas of our business impacted by global commerce (for example maritime shipping), travel and leisure. It is not possible to know how long the pandemic will continue or what the ongoing economic impact will be on our business or the global economy. The areas of our business most at risk to be negatively impacted by the prolonged continuation of this crisis include our mobile connectivity product sales, and related airtime, as commercial customers may delay acquiring VSAT systems due to the global reduction in maritime shipping, and our media business due to the severe restrictions on global travel. Likewise our inertial navigation product sales may be negatively impacted as domestic and foreign customers find it necessary to conserve cash in their own businesses in the face of a prolonged duration of the crisis. In response to these significant uncertainties, we have taken multiple steps to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our business, including a comprehensive reduction in salaries and wages and the elimination of most discretionary expenditures including capital expenditures, and we continue to consider further actions which may include furloughing some level of our global workforce.

As of March 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities (“cash position”) approximated $41.0 million, and we had no outstanding short term or long term debt, other than normal levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses. While there can be no assurances that our strong cash position will sustain us through the duration of the pandemic, we believe that our cash position along with the mitigation actions we have taken or are contemplating position us reasonably well to withstand the impact of this global health crisis. We are continuing to monitor global developments and are prepared to implement further actions to ensure the sufficiency of our cash position should we consider it necessary.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates


The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure at the date of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the consolidated interim financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.


As described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, our most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which our consolidated financial statements were prepared were those relating to revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, valuations and purchase price allocations related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated fair values of long-lived assets, including goodwill, amortization methods and periods, certain accrued expenses and other related charges, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, forfeitures and key valuation assumptions for its share-based awards, estimated fulfillment costs for warranty obligations, tax reserves and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance.allowance, and the valuation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. We have reviewed our policies and estimates and determined that these remain our most critical accounting policies and estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2019. We have updated our leasing policies in conjunction with our adoption of ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019, as further described in Note 19 to the accompanying financial statements.2020.


Readers should refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates” for descriptions of these policies and estimates, as well as the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere within this report.

As discussed further under the heading "Segment Discussion"below, product sales decreased $1.1$0.1 million, or 8%1%, to $12.9$13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 from $14.0$13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, primarily due to a decrease in mobile connectivity product sales of $0.8 million, and a decreasepartially offset by an increase in inertial navigation product sales of $0.3$0.7 million. Service sales for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 increased $1.0 million, or 4%, to $27.1 million from $26.1 million for three months ended March 31, 20182020 increased $0.3 million, or 1%, to $23.5 million from $23.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2019 due to an increase in mobile connectivity service sales of $0.6$0.8 million, and an increasepartially offset by a decrease in inertial navigation service sales of $0.4$0.5 million.


Costs of Sales
        
Costs of sales consists of costs of product sales and costs of service sales. Costs of sales increased $1.8$1.2 million, or 8%5%, in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 to $24.5$24.8 million from $22.7$23.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The increase in costs of sales was driven by an increase of $2.9$1.4 million, or 21%16%, in costs of serviceproduct sales, partially offset by a $1.1$0.2 million, or 12%1%, decrease in costs of productservice sales. As a percentage of net sales, costs of sales were 61%68% for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 57%65% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019.


Our costs of product sales consist primarily of materials, manufacturing overhead, and direct labor used to produce our products. For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, costs of product sales decreased $1.1increased $1.4 million, or 12%16%, to $7.8$9.6 million from $8.9$8.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. As a percentage of product sales, costs of product sales were 60%74% and 64%63% for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Mobile connectivity costs of product sales decreased by $0.5 million, or 10%, primarily due to a $0.4 million decrease in our marine mobile connectivity costs of product sales and a $0.1 million decrease in our land mobile connectivity costs of product sales.remained flat period over period. Mobile connectivity costs of product sales as a percentage of mobile connectivity product sales was 66%77% and 69% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018.respectively. Inertial navigation costs of product sales decreasedincreased by $0.6$1.4 million, or 16%44%, primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in FOG costsabsorption of product sales.factory overhead due to a decrease in the volume of production and an increase in scrap and other manufacturing period costs. Inertial navigation costs of product sales as a percentage of inertial navigation product sales was 53%70% and 61%53% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by a change in product mix of our different FOG products.

Our costs of service sales consist primarily of satellite service capacity, depreciation, service network overhead expense associated with our mini-VSAT Broadband network infrastructure, direct network service labor, Inmarsat service costs, product installation costs, engineering and related direct costs associated with customer-funded research and development, media materials and distribution costs, and service repair materials. For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, costs of service sales increaseddecreased by $2.9$0.2 million, or 21%1%, to $16.7$15.2 million from $13.8$15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. As a percentage of service sales, costs of service sales were 62%65% and 53%66% for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Mobile connectivity costs of service sales increased by $2.5$0.1 million, or 19%1%, primarily due to a $2.7$0.1 million increase in mini-VSAT airtime costs of service sales, including increased HTS network capacity costs, legacy network revenue share minimums and AgilePlans depreciation costs, which was partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in content and learning costs of service sales. Mobile connectivity costs of service sales as a percentage of mobile connectivity service sales was 61%64% and 53%66% for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Inertial navigation costs of service sales increaseddecreased by $0.4$0.3 million, or 57%24%, primarily due to an increasea decrease in contract engineering services revenues. Inertial navigation costs of service sales as a percentage of inertial navigation service sales was 65%73% and 58%65% for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

We expect that our costs of sales will generally increase in correlation with our expected growth in our mobile connectivity and inertial navigation net sales. To the extent that customers continue to subscribe to our AgilePlans program, we expect a corresponding decrease in product sales and increase in depreciation expense for AgilePlans equipment.


Operating Expenses
        
Research and development expense consists of direct labor, materials, external consultants, and related overhead costs that support our internally funded product development and product sustaining engineering activities. Research and development expense was $3.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 20192020 increased by $0.4 million, or 11%, to $4.3 million from $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The primary reason for the increase in research and 2018. Engineeringdevelopment expense was a $0.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $0.2 million decrease in funded engineering expenses funded by customers (which are reflected in costs of service sales rather than research and development expense) increased by $0.3 million, which was offset by a $0.3 million increase in consulting fees.. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was 12% and 2018 was 10%.11%, respectively.


We expect that research and development expense will grow year-over-year as we continue to invest in developing new technologies and applications for our products.

Sales, marketing, and support expense consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for sales and marketing personnel, commissions for both in-house and third-party representatives, costs related to the co-development of certain content, other sales and marketing support costs such as advertising, literature and promotional materials, product service personnel and support costs, warranty-related costs and bad debt expense. Sales, marketing and support expense also includes the operating expenses of our sales office subsidiaries in Denmark, Singapore, Brazil, and Japan. Sales, marketing and support expense for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 increased by $0.4$0.6 million, or 4%7%, to $9.3$8.7 million from $8.9$8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The increase primarily resulted from a $0.7$0.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and employment taxes due to an increase in headcount, which was partially offset by a $0.3 million decreaseincrease in warrantybad debt expense. As a percentage of net sales, sales, marketing and support expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 was 23%24% and 22%, respectively.

We expect that our sales, marketing, and support expense will increase year-over-year primarily driven by increased personnel, marketing and technology investments to support product sales and launches.

General and administrative expense consists of costs attributable to management, finance and accounting, information technology, human resources, certain outside professional services, and other administrative costs. General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased2020 decreased by $0.4$0.6 million, or 5%8%, to $8.1$6.4 million from $7.7$7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The increasedecrease resulted primarily from a $0.5 million increase in salaries, benefits, and employment taxes, which was partially offset by a $0.1$0.3 million decrease in professional fees. salaries and employee benefits and a $0.3 million decrease in computer expenses. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 was 20%17% and 19%, respectively.

We expect general and administrative expenses to increase year-over-year, primarily driven by increased personnel costs.    




Interest and Other Expense,Income (Expense), Net
        
Interest income represents interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, as well as from investments. Interest income increased slightly to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from2019. Interest expense decreased to less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Interest expense was2020 from $0.4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.as a result of our repayment of all of our debt obligations during 2019. Other income, net increased to $1.5 million from other expense, net decreased by $0.2of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 primarily due to a decreasean increase in foreign exchange lossesgains from our UK operations.


Income Tax Expense (Benefit)


Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.4 million and related to taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was less than $0.1 million and related to taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions. The losses we incurred in the U.S. did not generate any income tax benefit during theeither quarter due to a full valuation allowance on our related deferred tax assets. Income tax expense

Discontinued Operations

During the second quarter of 2019, we sold our Videotel business for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $0.2$89.4 million and related to taxesin cash, on income earned in foreign jurisdictions. The losses we incurred in the U.S. and Brazil did not generate any income tax benefit during the quarter duea cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to a full valuation allowance onworking capital adjustment. We determined that the sale met the requirements for reporting as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20. Accordingly, we have classified the results of the Videotel business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In December 2019, we finalized the working capital adjustment, which reduced the proceeds from the sale of Videotel to $88.4 million.

Mobile Connectivity Segment


Net sales in the mobile connectivity segment decreased by $0.2 million, or 1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.were flat at $28.9 million. Mobile connectivity product sales decreased by $0.8 million, or 11%, to $7.1$6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 from $7.9$7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The decrease was due to a $0.8$0.7 million, or 11%9%, decrease in marine mobile connectivity product sales, which was driven by a decrease in TracVision product sales. In addition, there was a $0.2 million decrease in land mobile product sales. The decrease in marineTracVision and land mobile connectivity product sales was primarily due to a $0.4 million decreasedecline in TracVision product sales and a $0.4 million decrease in TracPhone product sales and marine accessories, which is partially due to the impact of our AgilePlans subscription service and an increase in mobile connectivity product sales transferred over time in accordance with ASC 606.leisure sales.

Mobile connectivity service sales increased by $0.6$0.8 million, or 2%4%, to $25.4$22.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 from $24.8$21.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The increase was primarily due to a $1.8$0.9 million increase in our mini-VSAT service sales compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, which resulted in part from a 14%10% increase in subscribers, partiallyprimarily as a result of the introduction of AgilePlans and our HTS network. Partially offsetting this increase was a $1.2 million decrease in content and training service sales, which resulted primarily from a decrease in subscribers and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.AgilePlans.

We expect that our mini-VSAT service sales will continue to grow, primarily through the continued expansion of our mini-VSAT Broadband customer base and the availability of our AgilePlans subscription service model. We expect that mini-VSAT product sales will decline to the extent that customers select the AgilePlans subscription service model.


Our operating loss for the mobile connectivity segment increased by $2.1$0.9 million, or 197%59%, for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. This increase was primarily the result of a decrease in product sales less associated costs of $0.8 million, a $0.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $0.3 million increase in bad debt expense, which were partially offset by an increase in service sales less associated costs of $1.9 million, a decrease in product sales less associated costs of $0.3$0.7 million and a $0.4 million increase in salaries, benefits, and employment taxes, which were partially offset by a $0.3$0.2 million decrease in warranty expense.external commissions.


Inertial Navigation Segment


Net sales in the inertial navigation segment increased by $0.1$0.2 million, or 1%3%, for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. Inertial navigation product sales decreased $0.3increased $0.7 million, or 4%12%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $6.12019. This increase was due to a $0.4 million increase in TACNAV sales and a $0.3 million increase in sales of our FOG and OEM products.

Inertial navigation service sales decreased $0.5 million, or 29%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, due to decreased sales of our FOG products. TACNAV sales remained flat year over year.

Inertial navigation service sales increased $0.4 million, or 29%, to2020 from $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from $1.3 million for2019. The decrease was due to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase resulted from a $0.5 million increase in contracted engineering services fortiming of performance under an engineering and services development contract from a major U.S. defense contractor, which began in the fourth quarter of 2018 and will continue through the third quarter of 2021. This was partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in inertial navigation repair revenue.December 2020.


Our operating earningsloss for the inertial navigation segment increased $0.1$1.3 million, or 33%285%, for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. This increase is primarily due to a decrease in costsales less associated costs of product sales.$0.9 million, a $0.2 million increase in external commissions and a $0.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits.


Unallocated


Certain corporate-level costs have not been allocated because they are not attributable to either segment. These costs primarily consist of broad corporate functions, including executive, legal, finance, information technology, and costs associated with corporate actions.


Unallocated operating loss increasedecreased by $0.6$0.7 million, or 14%13%, for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The increasedecrease in the operating loss was primarily the result of an increasea $0.5 million decrease in salaries and associated compensation.employee benefits and a $0.3 million decrease in computer expenses.




Backlog


Backlog is not a meaningful indicator for predicting revenue in future periods. Commercial resellers for our mobile connectivity products and legacy products typically do not carry extensive inventories and rely on us to ship products quickly.Generally, due to the rapid delivery of our commercial products, our backlog for those products is not significant. However, as of March 31, 2019, we had over 190 TracPhone V7-HTS units in backlog to be shipped through 2020.


Our backlog for all products and services was $18.2$22.6 million and $14.5$19.5 million as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, $13.92020, $16.9 million of our backlog was scheduled for fulfillment in 2019, $1.9 million was scheduled for fulfillment in 2020, and $2.4$5.4 million was scheduled for fulfillment in 2021, and $0.3 million was scheduled for fulfillment in 2022 through 2028.


Backlog consists of orders evidenced by written agreements and specified delivery dates for customers who are acceptable credit risks. We do not include satellite connectivity service sales in our backlog even though many of our satellite connectivity customers have signed annual or multi-year service contracts providing for a fixed monthly fee. Military orders included in backlog are generally subject to cancellation for the convenience of the customer. When orders are canceled, we generally recover actual costs incurred through the date of cancellation and the costs resulting from termination. As of March 31, 2019,2020, our backlog included $6.0$2.6 million in orders that are subject to cancellation for convenience by the customer. Individual orders for inertial navigation products are often large and may require procurement of specialized long-lead components and allocation of manufacturing resources. The complexity of planning and executing larger orders generally requires customers to order well in advance of the required delivery date, resulting in backlog.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our primary liquidity needs are to fund general business requirements, including working capital requirements and capital expenditures, interest payments, and debt repayments.expenditures. In recent years, we have funded our operations primarily from cash flows from operations, bank financing, an equity private placement, and the proceeds received from exercises of stock options.options and in 2019 by selling our Videotel training business. We believe that we have sufficient cash to satisfy obligations that will come due over the next twelve months.


As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had $14.3$41.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, of which $4.6$3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents was held in local currencies by our foreign subsidiaries. Our foreign subsidiaries held no marketable securities as of March 31, 2019.2020. As of March 31, 2019,2020, we had $11.8$63.6 million in working capital.


Net cash used in operations was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net cash used in operations of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net2019. The $1.9 million increase in cash used in operations of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $0.1 million decrease in cash used is primarily due to a $2.4$2.9 million decrease in non-cash items, a $2.5 million increase in cash inflow relatedoutflows relating to contract liabilitiesprepaid expenses, other current assets and long-term contract liabilities,other non-current assets and a $1.1$1.8 million decreaseincrease in cash outflows relating to accounts payable and accrued expenses,expenses. Partially offsetting these changes were a $1.0$2.6 million increase inof cash inflows relating to accounts receivable, a $1.6 million increase of cash inflows relating to deferred revenues and a $0.5$1.0 million increase in non-cash items. Partially offsetting these changes were a $2.5 million increase indecrease of cash outflows relating to inventories, a $2.3inventories.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.1 million increase infor the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net loss and a $0.1 million decrease in cash inflows related to prepaid expenses and other assets. There was no cash flow impact associated with the adoption of ASC 842.

Net cash used in investing activities wasof $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.82019. The $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $4.9 million decreaseincrease was principally the result ofdue to a $5.0$7.4 million decrease incash inflow from net investments in available-for-sale marketable securities, partially offset by a $0.1$0.2 million decreaseincrease in capital expenditures.


Net cash used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net cash provided by financing activities wasof $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.5 million2019. The key driver for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $1.4 million decrease in net cash provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to a $4.5 million decrease in saleincrease was the repurchase of treasury stock. This amount was partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in repaymentcommon stock of long term-debt and a $0.3 million increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.$0.4 million.

Mortgage Loan


As of March 31, 2019, weWe previously had a $4.0 million mortgage loan (Mortgage Loan) related to ourits headquarters facility in Middletown, Rhode Island. The loan term was ten years, with a principal amortization of 20 years. The interest rate was basedOn April 1, 2019, on the BBA LIBOR Rate (as definedMortgage Loan’s original termination date, we repaid in full the loan agreement) plus 2.00 percentage points.

Other Matters


We intend to continue to invest in the mini-VSAT Broadband network on a global basis. As part of the future potential capacity expansion, we would plan to seek to acquire additional satellite capacity from satellite operators, expend funds to seek regulatory approvals and permits, develop product enhancements in anticipation of the expansion, and hire additional personnel. From time to time we have entered into multi-year agreements to lease satellite capacity, and we have also purchased numerous satellite hubs to support the added capacity. These transactions can involve millions of dollars, and from time to time we have entered into secured lending arrangements to finance them. During the first quarter of 2018, we entered into a five-year capital lease for three satellite hubs for the HTS network. The total cost of the five-year capital lease will be $3.1 million.


On November 26, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to one million shares of our common stock. The program was superseded on October 4, 2019. On October 4, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program pursuant to which we may purchase up to one million shares of our common stock. The repurchase program is expected to be funded by using our existing cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and future cash flows. Under the repurchase program, at management’s discretion, we may repurchase shares on the open market from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, or through an accelerated repurchase agreement. The timing of such repurchases depends on availability of shares, price, market conditions, alternative uses of capital, and applicable regulatory requirements. The program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. The repurchase program has a duration of one year. Under the 2018 Credit Agreement, we may not repurchase more than $5.0 million of shares before October 31, 2021 without appropriate consent. As of March 31, 2019, 341,0002020, we had repurchased 150,272 shares of our common stock in open market transactions at a cost of approximately $1.7 million. As of March 31, 2020, 849,728 shares of our common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. We did not purchase any shares of our common stock inDuring the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020, the Company repurchased 35,256 shares of common stock in open market transactions at a cost of approximately $0.4 million.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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 that 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 and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019,2020, the end of the period covered by this interim report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2019.2020.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management has evaluated changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2019.2020. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 20192020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Important Considerations


The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


From time to time, we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to inquiries, legal proceedings and claims including, from time to time, disagreements with vendors and customers. We are not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in our opinion, is likely to materially harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

This section augments and updates certain risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or the Annual Report. The following risk factors supersede the corresponding risks described in the Annual Report and should be read together with the other risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business. If any of these risks, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not significant, develops into an actual event, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock could decline.

There have been no material changes, other than as described below, from the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Please refer to that section for disclosures regarding what we believe are the more significant risks and uncertainties related to our business.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect onour revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to the United States and other countries in which we, our customers and our suppliers do business. Governments in affected regions have implemented and are continuing to implement extensive safety precautions, including quarantines, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings and other measures. Other organizations and individuals are taking additional steps to avoid or reduce infection, including limiting travel and implementing work-at-home policies. These measures have significantly disrupted normal business operations both in and outside of affected areas. Travel restrictions and safety precautions have also limited our field service engineers from servicing and installing our equipment. Although we are unable to predict the precise impact of the pandemic on our business, our mobile communications business in particular depends to a large extent on travel. The operations of our KVH Media Group have been particularly impacted due in part to the global reduction in travel resulting from the pandemic. We anticipate that, unless the outbreak is swiftly contained, governmental, individual, business and other organizational measures to limit the spread of the virus will adversely affect our revenues, results of operations and financial condition, perhaps materially. We continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and have made modifications to our operations because of the pandemic. For example, we have generally asked our employees to alter or cancel travel plans involving affected areas. Major industry events have been cancelled, which has adversely affected our ability to meet with existing and potential new customers. This or any other outbreak and any additional preventative or protective actions that may be taken in response to this or any other global health threat or pandemic may result in additional business and/or operational disruption. Our customers’ businesses could be disrupted, and our revenues could be adversely affected. Additionally, global economic disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our supply chain and cause delays in the delivery of raw materials, components and other supplies that we need to conduct our operations. We may be unable to locate replacement materials, components or other supplies, and ongoing delays could reduce sales and adversely affect our revenues and results of operations. The extent to which the pandemic will impact our business will depend on many factors beyond our control, including the speed of contagion, the development and implementation of effective preventative measures and possible treatments, the scope of governmental and other restrictions on travel and other activity, and public reactions to these factors.
