Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In FebruaryJune 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-02, "Reclassification2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)." The amendments in ASU No. 2018-07 expand the scope of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which provides an optionTopic 718 to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive incomeinclude share-based payments issued to retained earningsnonemployees for goods or services. The amendments in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recorded. This guidance isthis ASU are effective for fiscal yearsannual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years,annual periods, with early adoption permitted. During the first quarter of 2018, theThe Company early adopted this standard effective December 30, 2018 which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In October 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." ASU 2016-16 clarifies the accounting for the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted this standard, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In JanuaryFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition2016-02 "Leases." This ASU and Measurement of Financial Assetssubsequently issued amendments require lessees to recognize the assets and Financial Liabilities," as amendedliabilities on their balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by ASU No. 2018-03 in February 2018, which revises various aspects ofmost leases and continue to recognize expenses on their income statements over the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments.lease term. The standard also requires that marketable equity investments be measured at fair value with changesdisclosures designed to fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 also provides a new measurement alternative for non-marketable equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value. Under the measurement alternative, investments are measured at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes from observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The Company adopted this guidance on December 31, 2017 and elected to record its non-marketable equity investments using the alternative measurement method, which did not have a material impactgive financial statement users information on the Company's consolidated financial statementsamount, timing and related disclosures.

In May 2014,July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers,2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements," ("ASC 606") which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle isan alternative transition method that entities can elect when adopting the new standard.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software." The new standard reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The amendments to this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and
iROBOT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Implementation should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendment modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments to this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirement. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company does not believe this amendment will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging," that was created to better align accounting rules with a company’s risk management activities, better reflect the economic results of hedging in the financial statements, and simplify hedge accounting treatment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. For cash flow hedges existing at the adoption date, the standard requires adoption on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The amendments to presentation guidance and disclosure requirements are required to be adopted prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.    
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, "Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs," which shortens the amortization period of certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe this amendment will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," whichas clarified in ASU No. 2019-04 and ASU No. 2019-05. The guidance amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-lookingforward-
iROBOT CORPORATION

looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standardstandards on its consolidated financial statements. 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on their balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by most leases and continue to recognize expenses on their income statements over the lease term.  The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, "Leases: Targeted Improvements", which provided either a modified retrospective transition approach with application in all comparative periods presented, or an alternative transition method, which permits a company to use its effective date as the date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements. The Company expects to elect this alternative transition method and adopt the guidance prospectively. The Company also expects to elect the practical expedients allowed under the standard. The Company is in the process of aggregating and evaluating lease arrangements and implementing new processes and a lease accounting system. The Company expects the adoption will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities upon adoption. The impact on our results of operations and cash flows is not expected to be material.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.


3. Revenue Recognition
The Company primarily derives its revenue from product sales. The Company sells products directly to consumers through on-line stores and indirectly through resellers and distributors. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers, generally as title and risk of loss passes, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling expenses are considered fulfillment activities and are expensed as incurred.
The Company’s product portfolio includes various consumer robots, many of which are Wi-Fi connected. The consumer robots are generally highly dependent on, and interrelated with, the embedded software and cannot function without the software. As such, the consumer robots are accounted for as a single performance obligation, and the revenue is recognized at a point in time when the control is transferred to distributors, resellers or directly to end customers through onlineon-line stores. For
iROBOT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)

consumer robots with Wi-Fi capability ("connected robots"), each sale represents an arrangement with multiple promises consisting of the robot, an app, cloud services and potential future unspecified software upgrades. The Company has determined that the app, cloud services and potential future unspecified software upgrades represent one promised service to the customer to enhance the functionality and interaction with the robot (referred to collectively as "Cloud Services"). UnderFor certain connected robots, the previous revenue accounting standard, revenue allocated to the app and future unspecified software upgrades was deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the connected robot.
Upon the adoption of ASC 606 as of the beginning of fiscal year 2018, the Company has concluded that, on a quantitative and qualitative basis, the Cloud Services diddo not constitute a material performance obligation for the then existing products and, as such, these services wereare not considered a separate performance obligation that requiredrequires allocation of transaction price.
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company launched Roomba i7 and i7+ which havebrought a new level of intelligence and automation to robotic vacuum cleaners with the ability to learn, map and adapt to a home's floor plan. The Company has concluded that beginning with this launch, the Cloud Services related to these new products are a material performance obligation. For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price ("SSP"). The SSP reflects the Company's best estimate of what the selling prices of elementsperformance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a standalone basis. Revenue allocated to the robots is recognized at a point in time when control is transferred. Revenue allocated to the Cloud Services is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period the software upgrades and services are expected to be provided. TheFor contracts with a duration of greater than one year, the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of SeptemberJune 29, 20182019 is not material. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
The Company’s products generally carry a one-year limited warranty that promises customers that delivered products are as specified. The Company does not consider these assurance-type warranties as a separate performance obligation and therefore, the Company accounts for such warranties under ASC 460, Guarantees."Guarantees."
Significant Judgments
The Company provides limited rights of returns for direct-to-consumer sales generated through its on-line stores and certain resellers and distributors. In addition, the Company may provide other credits or incentives, including price protection, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Where appropriate, these estimates take into consideration relevant factors such as the Company’s historical experience, current contractual requirements, specific known market events and trends and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates, and the actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from the Company’s estimates. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available and only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. As of SeptemberJune 29, 2018,2019, the Company has reserves for product returns of $36.7$44.5 million and other credits and incentives of $51.3$69.7 million. As of December 30, 2017,29, 2018, the Company had reserves for product returns of $42.7$53.9 million and other credits and incentives of $61.4$97.7 million. Revenue recognized during the three months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 related to performance obligations satisfied in a prior period was not material.

The change in the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. During the three months ended June 29, 2019 and nine-month periods ended September 29,June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $2.2$5.3 million and $6.7$6.3 million, respectively, of the opening contract liability balance as revenue upon transfer of the products to customers.

The Company does not assess whether a prepayment received represents a significant financing component as the period between when the payment is received and the transfer of the products to the customer is generally one year or less.

4. Leases
The Company's leasing arrangements primarily consist of operating leases for its facilities which include corporate, sales and research and development offices. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related right-of-use asset and lease obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. The Company's leases typically include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company does not discloseseparate lease and nonlease components of contracts and excludes all variable lease payments from the measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company's variable lease payments generally include usage based nonlease components. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contractsguarantees or restrictive covenants. Leases with an original expected durationinitial term of one year12 months or less.

4. Business Combination
Acquisition of Robopolis
On October 2, 2017, the Company closed the acquisition of its largest European distributor, Robopolis SAS, a French company ("Robopolis"), subsequently renamed iRobot France SAS. The acquisition will better enable the Company to maintain its leadership position and grow its business in several Western European countries through direct control of pre- and post-sales market activities including sales, marketing, branding, channel relationships and customer service. The initial purchase priceweighted average remaining lease term was approximately $170.1 million in cash, net of acquired cash of $38.0 million, subject to the finalization of the working capital adjustment in accordance with the stock purchase agreement. During the first quarter of 2018, the working capital adjustment was finalized and resulted in a reduction in the purchase price of $0.7 million. The results of operations for this acquisition have been included in the Company’s operating results since the acquisition date.9.58 years.
The estimated fair valuescomponents of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was availablelease expense were as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair values. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair value reflected are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company is continuing to analyze certain pre-acquisition income tax filing positions of Robopolis in various taxing jurisdictions that will assist the Company in finalizing the amounts to record for any assumed uncertain income tax positions. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

As of September 29, 2018, the full amount was available for borrowing. The new revolving line of credit is available to fund working capital and other corporate purposes. The new agreement extends the term of the credit facilities to June 2023. The interest on loans under the credit facility accrues, at the Company's election, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin, currently equal to 1.0%, based on the Company's ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA (the "Eurodollar Rate"), or (2) the lender’s base rate. The lender’s base rate is equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (2) the lender’s prime rate and (3) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%.
As of September 29, 2018, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. This credit facility contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including restrictions on the Company's ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, make loans or investments, sell assets, pay dividends or make distributions on, or repurchase, the Company's stock, and consolidate or merge with other entities.
In addition, the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants customary with this type of agreement, including maintaining a maximum ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA and a minimum specified interest coverage ratio.
This credit facility contains customary events of default, including for payment defaults, breaches of representations, breaches of affirmative or negative covenants, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and failure to discharge certain judgments. If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period or is not waived, the Company's obligations under the credit facility may be accelerated.
As of September 29, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.

Outstanding Purchase Orders
At SeptemberJune 29, 2018,2019, the Company had outstanding purchase orders aggregating approximately $209.3$213.0 million. These purchase orders, the majority of which are with contract manufacturers for the purchase of inventory in the normal course of business, are for manufacturing and non-manufacturing related goods and services, and are generally cancelable without penalty. In circumstances where the Company determines that it has financial exposure associated with any of these commitments, the Company records a liability in the period in which that exposure is identified.
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right infringement claim by any third party. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of SeptemberJune 29, 20182019 and December 30, 2017,29, 2018, respectively.
Warranty

Overview
iRobot is a leading consumer robot company that designs and builds robots that empower people to do more both inside and outside of the home. Our consumer robots help people find smarter ways to clean and accomplish more in their daily lives. iRobot'sOur portfolio of solutions features proprietary technologies for the connected home and advanced concepts in cleaning, mapping and navigation, human-robot interaction and physical solutions. Leveraging this portfolio, our engineers are building an ecosystem of robots to empower the smart home. For more than 25 years, we have been a pioneer in the robotics and consumer products industries. We sell our robots through a variety of distribution channels, including chain stores and other national retailers, through our on-line store, and through value-added distributors and resellers worldwide.
During 2017, we continued to expand our global operations with the acquisition of two of our major distributors in Japan and Europe. On April 3, 2017, we closed the acquisition of the iRobot-related distribution business of Sales On Demand Corporation ("SODC") based in Tokyo. Additionally, on October 2, 2017, we acquired our largest European distributor, Robopolis SAS, a French company ("Robopolis"). We expect to drive continued growth in global markets through a consistent approach to all market activities including sales, marketing, branding, channel relationships and customer service. Both acquisitions provide us with more direct control over the go-to-market execution in these key regions.
As of SeptemberJune 29, 2018,2019, we had 1,0031,120 full-time employees. We have developed expertise in the disciplines necessary to build durable, high-performance and cost-effective robots through the close integration of software, electronics and hardware. Our core technologies serve as reusable building blocks that we adapt and expand to enhance existing products, develop next generationnext-generation versions of our products and design and launch new products, reducing the time, cost and risk ofassociated with product development. Our significant expertise in consumer needs, robot design, engineering and engineeringsmart home technologies and trends positions us to capitalize on the growth we expect in the market for robot-based consumer products.



Our continued success depends upon our ability to respond to a number of challenges in the consumer robots market. We believe the most significant of these include increasing competition and our ability to successfully develop and introduce products and product enhancements into both new and existing markets.
DuringIn the third quarter of 2018, we launched our newest premium robots,introduced the Roomba i7 and i7+ in the U.S., which have the ability to learn, map and adapt toare robot vacuums that remember a home's floor plan. Introducing Imprint™ Smart Mapping, Roomba i7+ remembers multiple floor plansplan and room names so users can customize cleaning jobs and direct the robot to clean specific rooms by voice whenname. Using Imprint™ Smart Mapping, the Roomba i7+ is paired with Alexa enabled devices,learns the Google Assistant or viahome's floor plan, giving customers total control over which rooms to clean and when. When the iRobot HOME App. When Roomba i7+ robot vacuum is finished cleaning, it empties its own dust bin into the Clean Base™, which holds 30 bins of dirt, allowing customers to forget about

These robots were available on our website during the third quarter of 2018, the Company also introduced the Roomba e5, a highly-featured product at a more accessible price, to our lineup in the U.S. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we introduced the Roomba e5 in markets outside of the U.S. in advance of the holiday season.
During the first quarter of 2019, we launched Roomba i7 and i7+ in EMEA, Japan and China. During the second quarter of 2019, we successfully launched two new cleaning robots in the U.S., the Roomba s9 and s9+, which, along with the features of the Roomba i7 and i7+, are robot vacuums that can clean deep into corners and along edges, and the Braava jet m6 robot mop, which can tackle multiple rooms and large spaces with advanced navigation and mapping capabilities. Together, these two robots can use Imprint Link Technology to talk to each other, automatically vacuuming and then mopping without additional action by the user. We anticipate that the s9 and s9+ will be rolled out tolaunched in EMEA in the third quarter of 2019 and in all of ourother target markets overin early 2020. We anticipate that the next 12 months.m6 will be launched in all target markets during the second half of 2019.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenuerevenues and expenses. These estimates and judgments, include but are not limited to, revenue recognition including performance obligations, variable consideration and other obligations such as product returns and incentives; warranty costs, valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets; accounting for business combinations; evaluating loss contingencies; accounting for stock-based compensation including performance-based assessments; and accounting for income taxes and related valuation allowances. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be found in the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018.
Effective December 30, 2017.
On December 31, 2017,2018, we adopted the new revenueleasing standard under ASC 606842 using the modified retrospectivealternative transition method. The adoption of the new guidance had an immaterialstandard resulted in a material increase in the assets and liabilities, while the impact to our consolidated financialon the Company's results as of operations and cash flows was not material for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 29, 2018.2019. We have updated our accounting policy as it relates to revenue recognition.lease accounting. Refer to Note 34 of the consolidated financial statements.

The $4.4 million income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 15.1%29.6%. The $4.4 million provision fordecrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to increased tax benefits related to excess stock-based compensation and the recognition of a discrete tax benefit upon the effective settlement of a foreign tax audit in the three months ended September 30, 2017 resultedJune 29, 2019. In addition, we recorded a discrete charge for estimated taxes associated with a restructuring of the EMEA business in an effective income tax rate of 16.6%.
We recorded an income tax provision of $15.6 million and $7.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 29, 2018 and SeptemberJune 30, 2017, respectively. The $15.6 million provision for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 resulted in


an effective income tax rate of 19.9%. The $7.6 million provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 14.0%.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the "Act", was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Effective for our 2018 tax year, the Act reduces the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% and implements certain additional provisions for the 2018 tax year, including the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") inclusion and the Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII") deduction.
Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Act, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded a provisional amount relating to the transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings in its financial statements as of December 30, 2017. We have performed an additional analysis and do not expect a material adjustment, and any adjustment to the provisional amount will be recorded to the current income tax provision during the measurement period which is not expected to be beyond one year from the enactment date.2018.
Our effective income tax rate of 15.1% and 19.9%(6.3)% for the three and nine months ended SeptemberJune 29, 2018, respectively2019 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of tax benefits related to excess stock-based compensation.compensation and the recognition of a discrete tax benefit upon the effective settlement of a foreign tax audit.
We recorded an income tax expense of $0.6 million and $9.9 million for the six months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The $0.6 million income tax expense for the six months ended June 29, 2019 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 2.0%. The $9.9 million income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 24.3%. The decrease in the effective income tax rate of 15.1% for the three months ended September 29, 2018 as compared to 16.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the lower federal statutory tax rate partially offset by decreased tax benefits related to excess stock-based compensation in the three months ended September 29, 2018. The increase in the effective income tax rate of 19.9% for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 as compared to 14.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to decreasedincreased tax benefits related to excess stock-based compensation and a decrease in foreign taxes related to a discrete charge for estimated taxes associated with a restructuring of the EMEA business duringrecorded in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.
Our effective income tax rate of 2.0% for the six months ended June 29, 2018.2019 differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of tax benefits related to excess stock-based compensation.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
At SeptemberJune 29, 2018,2019, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $100.1$132.8 million and short-term investments of $35.0 million and accounts receivable of $109.6$24.0 million. Our working capital, which represents our total current assets less total current liabilities, was $271.1$328.6 million as of SeptemberJune 29, 2018,2019, compared to $322.0$227.7 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.
We manufacture and distribute our products through contract manufacturers and third-party logistics providers. We believe that this approach gives us the advantages of relatively low capital investment and significant flexibility in scheduling production and managing inventory levels. By leasing our office facilities, we also minimize the cash needed for expansion. Accordingly, our capital spending is generally limited to leasehold improvements, computers, office furniture, product-specific production tooling, internal use software and test equipment. In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 29, 20182019 and SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2018, we spent $25.3$14.7 million and $16.6$14.3 million, respectively, on capital expenditures.
Our strategy for delivering consumer products to our distributors and retail customers gives us the flexibility to provide container shipments directly from our contract manufacturers in Southern China to our customers and, alternatively, allows our distributors and certain retail customers to take possession of product on a domestic basis. Accordingly, our consumer product



inventory consists of goods shipped to our third-party logistics providers for the fulfillment of distributor, retail and direct-to-consumer sales. Our contract manufacturers are also responsible for purchasing and stocking components required for the production of our products, and they typically invoice us when the finished goods are shipped.
As of September 29, 2018, we held cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $135.1 million. Cash provided by operating activities

Working Capital Facilities
Credit Facility
In June 2018, we entered into a new agreement with Bank of America, N.A., increasing the amount of our unsecured revolving line of credit from $75.0 million to $150.0 million.million extending the term of the credit facilities to June 2023. As of SeptemberJune 29, 2018, the full amount was available for borrowing.2019, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The new revolving line of credit is available to fund working capital and other corporate purposes. The new agreement extends the term of the credit facilities to June 2023. The interest on loans under our credit facility accrues, at our election, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin, currently equal to 1.0%, based on our ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA (the "Eurodollar Rate"), or (2) the lender’s base rate. The lender’s base rate is equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (2) the lender’s prime rate and (3) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%.
As of September 29, 2018, In the event that LIBOR is discontinued as expected in 2021, we had noexpect the interest rates for our debt following such event will be based on either alternate base rates or agreed upon replacement rates. While we do not expect a LIBOR discontinuation would affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings, under our revolving credit facility. it could result in higher interest rates.
This credit facility contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including restrictions on our ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, make loans or investments, sell assets, pay dividends or make distributions on, or repurchase, our stock, and consolidate or merge with other entities.

If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period or is not waived, our obligations under the credit facility may be accelerated.
As of SeptemberJune 29, 2018,2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.

Letter of Credit Facility
We have an unsecured revolving letter of credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. The credit facility is available to fund letters of credit on our behalf up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $5.0 million. We may terminate at any time, subject to proper notice, or from time to time permanently reduce the amount of the credit facility.
We pay a fee on outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility of up to 1.5% per annum of the outstanding letters of credit. The maturity date for letters of credit issued under the credit facility must be no later than 365 days following the maturity date of the credit facility.

As of September 29, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving letter of credit facility.

Working Capital and Capital Expenditure Needs
We currently have no material cash commitments, except for normal recurring trade payables, expense accruals, capital expenditures and operating leases, all of which we anticipate funding through working capital, funds provided by operating activities and our existing revolving line of credit. We believe our outsourced approach to manufacturing provides us with flexibility in both managing inventory levels and financing our inventory. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash provided by operating activities, and funds available through our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months. In the event our revenue plan does not meet our expectations, we may eliminate or curtail expenditures to mitigate the impact on our working capital. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our marketing and sales activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the acquisition of new capabilities or technologies, and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. Moreover, to the extent existing cash and cash equivalents,





short-term investments, cash from operations, and cash from short-term borrowing are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing.
As part of our business strategy, we may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies and products, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
Contractual Obligations
We generally do not enter into binding purchase commitments.The disclosure of our contractual obligations and commitments is set forth under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Contractual Obligations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
At September 29, 2018, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $100.1 million and short-term investments of $35.0 million. The unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Some of the securities in which we invest, however, may be subject to market risk. This means a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair market value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in a variety of securities, commercial paper, money market funds, debt securities and certificates of deposit. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. As of September 29, 2018, all of our cash and cash equivalents were held in demand deposits and money market accounts.

Our exposure to market risk also relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay on any outstanding debt instruments, primarily certain borrowings under our revolving line of credit. The advances under the revolving line of credit bear a variable rate of interest determined at the time of the borrowing. At September 29, 2018, we had letters of credit outstanding of $0.6 million under our revolving letter of credit facility.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity
Our international revenue and expenses are denominated in multiple currencies, including Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollars, Chinese Yuan RenmimbiRenminbi, British Pounds and Euros. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with the revenue and operating expenses of our foreign operations. Any fluctuations in other currencies will have minimal direct impact on our international revenue.
In addition to international business conducted in foreign currencies, we have international revenue denominated in U.S. dollars. As the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against other currencies, our international distributors may be impacted, which could affect their profitability and our ability to maintain current pricing levels on our international consumer products.
We regularly monitor the forecast of non-U.S. dollar revenue and expenses and the level of non-U.S. dollar monetary asset and liability balances to determine if any actions, including possibly entering into foreign currency contracts should be taken to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on our results of operations. Periodically, we enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts may or may not be designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. We use cash flow hedges primarily to reduce the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchasesales primarily in Japanese Yen and sales.Euros. At SeptemberJune 29, 20182019 and December 30, 2017,29, 2018, we had outstanding cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $43.5$389.9 million and $73.7$366.7 million, respectively.
We also enter into economic hedges that are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes typically related to short term trade receivables and payables. These


contracts have maturities of twoten months or less. At SeptemberJune 29, 20182019 and December 30, 2017,29, 2018, we had outstanding economic hedges with a total notional value of $29.3$48.0 million and $36.6$56.0 million, respectively.
A hypothetical changeAt June 29, 2019, assuming all other variables are constant, if the U.S. Dollar weakened or strengthened by 10%, the fair market value of 10% in exchange ratesour foreign currency contracts would not have a material impact on our financial results.increase or decrease by approximately $45.9 million.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system



are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, which could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017,29, 2018, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. There are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017,29, 2018, other than updates regarding the tariff increase as set forth in the following:


Significant developments from the recent and potential changes in U.S. trade policies couldhave had, and we expect will continue to have, a material adverse effect on us.our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. government has indicated its intent to alter its approach to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries. Effective September 24, 2018, the U.S. government implemented a ten percent (10%)10% tariff on certain goods imported from China, which include the majority of those imported by the Company. Effective January 1, 2019, theseThese tariffs willwere increased to 25% on May 10, 2019. In addition, the U.S. government has indicated a desire to implement tariffs on the remainder of the goods the Company imports from China, although the timing of such an increase to twenty-five percent (25%).is unpredictable.  These new tariffs, and other governmental action relating to international trade agreements or policies, mayhave adversely impactimpacted demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers, distributors, resellers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, as a result, have adversely impacted, and we expect will continue to adversely impact, our business.business, financial condition and results of operations. The implementedalready-implemented, and announcedany additional or increased, tariffs have caused and may in the future cause us to further increase prices to our customers which we believe has reduced, and in the future may reduce, demand or, if we are unablefor our products.  Any such price increase, may not be sufficient to increase prices,fully offset the impact of the tariffs, result in lowering our margin on products sold.sold, as was the case during the first half of 2019 and we expect going forward. It remains unclear what the U.S. or foreign governments will or will not do with respect to tariffs, international trade agreements and policies on a short-term or long-term basis. We cannot predict future trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impacts on our business. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to further adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could further adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
