Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “would,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include:

 

our inability to fulfill our customers’ orders due to supply chain delays, access to key commodities or technologies or events that impact our manufacturers or their suppliers;

 

our ability to anticipate technological shifts;

 

our ability to generate positive returns on our research and development;

 

changes in the rate of communicationcommunications service providers’, or CSPs’ (“CSPs”), deployment of, and investment in, ultra-broadband network capabilities;

 

the lack of predictability of revenue due to lengthy sales cycles and the volatility in capital expenditure budgets of CSPs;

 

our ability to maintain and expand grossoperating profit and net income;

 

the sufficiency of our cash resources and needs for additional financing;

 

our ability to further penetrate our existing customer base and obtain new customers;

 

changes in our pricing policies, whether initiated by us or as a result of competition;

 

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operation and expansion of our business;

 

the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments on our business, our suppliers, our logistics suppliers and our customers;

 

the actual or rumored timing and success of new product and service introductions by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive landscape of our industry, including consolidation among our competitors or customers;

 

our ability to successfully expand our business domestically and internationally, including our ability to maintain the synergies we have realized from our acquisition of NetComm Wireless Limited, or NetComm;

 

insolvency or credit difficulties confronting our customers, which could adversely affect their ability to purchase or pay for our products and services, or confronting our key suppliers, which could disrupt our supply chain;

 

future accounting pronouncements or changes in our accounting policies;

 

stock-based compensation expense;


 

our overall effective tax rate, including impacts caused by the relative proportion of foreign to United States (“U.S.”) income, the amount and timing of certain employee stock-based compensation transactions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and any new legislation or regulatory developments;

 

increases or decreases in our expenses caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

the costs and possible outcomes of any legal actions or proceedings against us, including those described under “Part II, Item 1—Legal Proceedings”;

 

general economic conditions, both domestically and in foreign markets;

 

our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products; and

 

our use of proceeds from our initial public offering.

Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Casa Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 28, 2003. The Company is a global communications technology company headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts and has wholly owned subsidiaries in China, France, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Colombia, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

The Company offers physical, virtual and cloud-native 5G broadbandinfrastructure and customer premise networking equipment forsolutions to help CSPs transform and expand their public and private high-speed data and multi-service communications networks.networks so they can meet the growing demand for bandwidth and new services. The Company’s core and edge broadband technology enables communications service providersCSPs and enterprises to cost-effectively and dynamically increase data network speed, add bandwidth capacity and new services, reduce network complexity and reduce operating and capital expenditures.  expenditures regardless of access technology.

The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies of comparable size and other companies selling and providing services to the communications service provider (“CSP”)CSP industry. These risks include, but are not limited to, the level of capital spending by the CSPs, a lengthy sales cycle, dependence on the development of new products and services, unfavorable economic and market conditions, competition from larger and more established companies, limited management resources, dependence on a limited number of contract manufacturers and suppliers, the rapidly changing nature of the technology used by the CSPs and reliance on resellers and sales agents. Failure by the Company to anticipate or to respond adequately to technological developments in its industry, changes in customer or supplier requirements, changes in regulatory requirements or industry standards, or any significant delays in the development or introduction of products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may remain an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Company’s initial public offering, subject to specified conditions. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected not to “opt out” of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company is required to adopt the new or revised standard at or prior to the time private companies are required to adopt the new or revised standard, provided that the Company continues to be an emerging growth company. The JOBS Act provides that the decision to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 are unaudited. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 are also unaudited. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20202021 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20202021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 20212022 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K that would have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 20212022 or any future period.


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods.

Significant estimates and judgments relied upon by management in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition, provision for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, valuation of inventory and deferred inventory costs, the expensing and capitalization of software-related research and development costs, amortization and depreciation periods, the recoverability of net deferred tax assets, valuations of uncertain tax positions, warranty allowances, the valuation of equity instruments and stock-based compensation expense.

Although the Company regularly reassesses the assumptions underlying these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time such estimates are made.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents various risks to the Company, not all of which the Company is able to fully evaluate or even to foresee at the current time, and which could continue to have a material effect upon the estimates and judgments relied upon by management in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements. While the Company remains fully operational, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global supply chain had a significant adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.  In particular, certain of the Company’s products utilize components, for which there has been increasedwhose availability was significantly exceeded by global demand.  As a result, throughout 2021, and increasingly during the three months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company begancontinued to see shortages of supply that resulted in the Company’s inability to fulfill certain customer orders within normal lead times.  This adversely impacted the Company’s revenue and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Additionally, shipping bottlenecks and delays negatively affected the Company’s ability to timely fulfill customer orders, thereby delaying its ability to consummate sales and recognize revenue. The Company also experienced, in some cases, significant increases in shipping costs. While the Company continues to work with its supply chain, contract manufacturers, logistics partners, and customers to minimize the extent of such impacts, the Company expects the effects of global supply chain issues to continue and cannot predict when such effects will subside.  This may prevent the Company from being able to fulfill its customers’ orders in a timely manner or at all, which could lead to one or more of its customers cancelling their orders.  At this time the Company is neither able to estimate the extent of these impacts nor predict whether its efforts to minimize or contain them will be successful. The Company intends to continue to monitor its business very closely for any effects of COVID-19 for as long as necessary.

Subsequent Event Considerations

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. Other than the agreement with Verizon Ventures LLC, as discussed in Note 17, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no additional material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments maturing within three months from the date of purchase. As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents consisted of investments in certificates of deposit and money market mutual funds.

Restricted cash as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 consisted of a certificate of deposit of $1,000 and $1,006, respectively,$1,001, pledged as collateral for a stand-by letter of credit required to support a contractual obligation. Restricted cash also included cash of $2,100 pledged as collateral in connection with five and two letters of credit to support contractual obligations at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.


The following table is a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of a provision for doubtful accounts, which is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. Accounts receivable for customer contracts with customary payment terms, which are one year or less, are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. The Company may, in limited circumstances, grant payment terms longer than one year.  Payments due beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date are recorded as non-current assets. The Company generally does not require collateral, but the Company may, in certain instances based on its credit assessment, require full or partial prepayment prior to shipment.    

Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 consisted of the following:

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, provides a provision for doubtful accounts and expected losses. When assessing and recording its provision for doubtful accounts, the Company evaluates the age of its accounts receivable, current economic trends, creditworthiness of the customer, customer payment history, and other specific customer and transaction information. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the provision when it determines a balance is uncollectible and no longer actively pursues collection of the receivable. Adjustments to the provision for doubtful accounts are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.

As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company concluded that all amounts due under extended payment terms were collectible and 0 reserve for credit losses was recorded. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the Company did 0t provide a reserve for credit losses and did 0t write off any uncollectible receivables due under extended payment terms.

Concentration of Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits, savings accounts, money market mutual funds, and certificates of deposit with financial institutions, which may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

The Company grants credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Credit evaluations are performed on an ongoing basis to reduce credit risk, and no collateral is required from the Company’s customers. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and credit evaluation. Due to these factors, no additional losses beyond the amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company’s accounts receivable.

Certain of the components and subassemblies included in the Company’s products are obtained and manufactured from a single source or a limited group of suppliers. Although the Company seeks to reduce dependence on those single or limited source suppliers, the partial or complete loss of certain of these sources could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results, financial condition and cash flows and damage its customer relationships.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures stock options and other stock-based awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense of those awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. Generally, the Company issues stock options with only service-based vesting conditions and records the expense for these awards using the straight-line method.

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for only the portion of awards that are expected to vest. In developing a forfeiture rate estimate, the Company has considered its historical experience to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures for service-based awards. The impact of a forfeiture rate adjustment will be recognized in full in the period of adjustment, and if the actual forfeiture rate is materially different from the Company’s estimate, the Company may be required to record adjustments to stock-based compensation expense in future periods.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company was a private company until December 14, 2017 and lacks sufficient company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, for all options granted in 2020 or before, the Company estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies. Beginning with options granted in 2021, the Company estimates its expected stock volatility using a weighted-average calculation based on the historical volatility of the Company and publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company does not have a history of declaring or paying cash dividends, except for the special cash dividends declared in November 2014, June 2016, December 2016, May 2017 and November 2017, and in those circumstances the board of directors approved cash dividends to be paid to holders of the Company’s stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) upon vesting as an equitable adjustment to the holders of such instruments.

The Company has also granted SARs to certain employees, which require the Company to pay in cash upon exercise an amount equal to the product of the excess of the per share fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. Because these awards may require the Company to settle the awards in cash, the Company accounts for them as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes the liability related to these awards, as well as related compensation expense over the period during which services are rendered until completed. As all SARs are now fully vested, the Company continues to remeasure the fair market value of the liability until the award is either exercised or canceled, with changes in the fair value of the liability recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.


Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2020,October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2020-06,Accounting Standards Codification Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Convertible InstrumentsContract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2021-08.  Under ASU 2021-08, an acquirer must recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in an Entity’s Own Equity.  This guidance simplifiesa business combination in accordance with Topic 606. Effective January 1, 2022, the guidanceCompany early adopted ASU 2021-08 on certain financial instruments with characteristicsa prospective basis.  The impact of liability and equity, including convertible debt instruments.  As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature in such debt and will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met.  The eliminationadoption of these models will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that is within the scope of ASU 2020-06.  The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The guidance will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.  The Company has elected to early adopt this ASU and the adoption did not have a material impactstandard on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.was not material.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB, issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to FASB Accounting Standards Codification(“, or ASU 2016-02”),2016-02, which replaces the existing guidance for leases.  ASU 2016-02 requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees.  In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve-month term, the arrangements must now be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee.  Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases.  The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption.  This guidance will become effective for private companies, and emerging growth companies that choose to take advantage of the extended transition periods, for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company has begun planning for adoption by implementing a new lease accounting software and by working to establish additional changes to internal processes to comply with all requirements upon adoption.  The standard allows for, and the Company plans on using, a modified retrospective approach with comparatives under ASC 840, where entities would recognize a cumulative effect to retained earnings at the date of adoption without restating prior period balances or disclosure.  Management is continuing to assess the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.  

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“, or ASU 2016-13”).2016-13. This guidance is intended to provide more decision-useful information about expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The main provisions include presenting financial assets measured at amortized cost at the amount expected to be collected, which is net of an allowance for expected credit losses, and recording credit losses related to available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses. The effective dates for the amendments in ASU 2016-13 were updated in ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), and as such ASU 2016-13 will become effective for private companies, and emerging growth companies that choose to take advantage of the extended transition periods, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal periods, and must be applied


using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Other

Other than the disclosures above, there have been no changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Accrued Warranty

 

Substantially all of the Company’s products are covered by warranties for software and hardware for periods ranging from 90 days to one year. In addition, in conjunction with customers’ renewals of maintenance and support contracts, the Company offers an extended warranty for periods typically of one to three years for agreed-upon fees. In the event of a failure of a hardware product or software covered by these warranties, the Company must repair or replace the software or hardware or, if those remedies are insufficient, and at the discretion of the Company, provide a refund. The Company’s warranty reserve, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, reflects estimated material, labor and other costs related to potential or actual software and hardware warranty claims for which the Company expects to incur an obligation. The Company’s estimates of anticipated rates of warranty claims and the costs associated therewith are primarily based on historical information and future forecasts. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the warranty reserve and adjusts the amount as necessary. If the historical data used to calculate the adequacy of the warranty reserve are not indicative of future requirements, additional or reduced warranty reserves may be required.

A summary of changes in the amount reserved for warranty costs for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

8. Derivative Instruments

The Company has certain international customers that are billed in foreign currencies. To mitigate the volatility related to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates for accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with notional amounts totaling 1,379 Euros maturing in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.  As of December 31, 2020,0 foreign currency forward contracts were outstanding.

The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts described above economically hedged certain risks but were not designated as hedges for financial reporting purposes, and accordingly, all changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments were recorded as unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses and were included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income as a component of other income (expense). The Company records derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair values. As of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an asset of $24relating to outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. As of December 31, 2020 the Company recorded 0 asset relating to outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.  As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded 0 liability relating to outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company also faces exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as a certain portion of its expenses are denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. In certain instances, the Company utilizes forward contracts to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations. These contracts are used to minimize foreign gains or losses, as the gains or losses on the derivative are intended to offset the losses or gains on the underlying exposure. The Company does not engage in foreign currency speculation.

The Company designed its foreign currency risk management strategy principally to mitigate the potential financial impact of changes in the value of transactions and balances denominated in foreign currencies resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company may enter into cash flow hedges that utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific forecasted transactions of its foreign subsidiaries with the goal of protecting its budgeted expenses against foreign currency exchange rate changes compared to its budgeted rates.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company settled one cash flow hedge with a notional amount of 5,000 AUD to hedge certain Australian dollar cash flows incurred during the period. The amount of gain reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $527. The full amount of the fair value of the derivatives on the settlement date of $725 was recognized as $57 cost of goods sold, $353 research and development expense and $315 selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company settled two cash flow hedges with notional amounts of 8,500 AUD and 5,000 AUD to hedge certain Australian dollar cash flows incurred during the period. The amount of gain reclassified from other comprehensive (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $752. The full amount of the fair value of the derivatives on the settlement date of $1,613 was recognized as $124 cost of goods sold, $890 research and development expense and $599 selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company did 0t have any cash flow hedges outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.


9.8. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 85.8%(46.6)% and 40.9%28.8% for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. The (benefit from) provision for income taxes was $(5,288)$10,352 and $2,399$2,326 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. The change in the (benefit from) provision for income taxes was primarily due to a discrete benefitnew requirement to capitalize and amortize all research and experimentation expenditures for U.S. tax purposes, which became effective under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) as of ($7,097) recordedJanuary 1, 2022.  This new requirement results in significant forecasted U.S. income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2021 related toyear and the corresponding deferred tax asset created is offset by a change in estimate of the Company’s prior year net operating loss that is able to be carried back as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).full valuation allowance.  The change in the (benefit from) provision for income taxes was also impacted by changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings period over period.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 11.6% and 142.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The provision for (benefit from) income taxes was $220 and $(5,433) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes was primarily due to a discrete tax benefit of $ (9,310) recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 associated with the enactment of the CARES Act, partially offset by a discrete benefit of ($7,097) recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 associated with a change in estimate of the Company’s prior year net operating loss that is able to be carried back as part of the CARES Act. The change in the provision for (benefit from) income taxes was also impacted by changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings period over period. 

The (benefit from) provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and related foreign tax rate differential, permanent differences, research and development tax credits, foreign tax credits, the valuation allowance maintained against certain deferred tax assets and withholding taxes.

The Company expects approximately 76%75% of this amount to be recognized in the next twelve months with the remaining amount to be recognized over the next two to five years.

Other Revenue Recognition Policies

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in the section titled “Risk Factors.” For discussion comparing the period ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, and September 30, 2019, please refer to our Quarterly Report on form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on October 29, 2020.April 30, 2021.

We offer physical, virtual and cloud-native 5G broadbandinfrastructure and customer premise networking equipment forsolutions, we help our CSP customers transform and expand their public and private high-speed data and multi-service communications networks.networks so they can meet the growing demand for bandwidth and new services. Our core and edge broadbandconvergence technology enables CSPs and enterprises to cost-effectively and dynamically increase data network speed, for their subscribers, add bandwidth capacity and new services, reduce network complexity, and reduce operating and capital expenditures.expenditures regardless of access technology.

We offer scalable solutions that can meet the evolving bandwidth needs of our customers and their subscribers. Our first installation in a service provider’s network frequently involves deploying our broadband products in only a portion of the provider’s network and, for our cable products, with only a fraction of the capacity of our products enabled at the time of initial installation. Over time, our customers have generally expanded the use of our solutions to other areas of their networks to extend network coverage or increase network capacity.

Our solutions are commercially deployed in over 70 countries by more than 475 customers, including regional service providers as well as some of the world’s largest Tier 1 CSPs, serving millions of subscribers.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic presents various risks to us, not all of which we are able to fully evaluate or even to foresee at the current time, and which could continue to have a material effect upon the estimates and judgments relied upon by management in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements. While we remain fully operational, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global supply chain had a significant adverse effect on our financial results.  In particular, certain of our products utilize components for which there has been increasedwhose availability was significantly exceeded by global demand.  As a result, throughout 2021, and increasingly during the three months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we begancontinued to see shortages of supply that resulted in our inability to fulfill certain customer orders within normal lead times.  This adversely impacted our revenue and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Additionally, shipping bottlenecks and delays further negatively affected our ability to timely fulfill customer orders, thereby delaying our ability to consummate sales and recognize revenue.  We have also seen, in some cases, significant increases in shipping costs.  While we continue to work with our supply chain, contract manufacturers, logistics partners and customers to minimize the extent of such impacts, we expect the effects of global supply chain issues to continue and cannot predict when such effects will subside.  This may prevent us from being able to fulfill our customers’ orders in a timely manner or at all, which could lead to one or more of our customers cancelling their orders.  At this time, we are neither able to estimate the extent of these impacts nor predict whether our efforts to minimize or contain them will be successful. We intend to continue to monitor our business very closely for any effects of COVID-19 for as long as necessary.

In addition to the negative impact on our business from global supply chain constraints related to COVID-19, we saw certain benefits that included decreases in certain operating expenses, such as travel and trade show expense, and benefited from certain U.S. government tax relief measures, discussed further below, during the year ended December 31, 2020, andFor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.  We expect these benefits to gradually diminish as the various geographies in which we operate begin to recover from the pandemic.

For the nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021, we were able to benefit from the CARES Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act, among other things, includes tax provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s Social Security payments, net operating loss utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property (QIP).  For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2021, we recognized a reduction to cost of goods sold of $0.6$0.3 million and a


reduction in operating expenses of $4.3$2.1 million, in connection with a payroll tax credit under the CARES Act.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized an income tax benefit of $7.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively (see Note 9 to our accompanying financial statements).  We will continue to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Due to the above circumstances and as described generally in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. Management cannot predict the full impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our sales channels, supply chain, manufacturing and distribution, or on economic conditions generally, including the effects on our current and potential


customers, who may temporarily accelerate or curtail spending on investments in current and/or new technologies, delay new equipment evaluations and trials cancel orders, and possibly delay payments based on liquidity concerns, all of which could have a material impact on our business in the future. Similarly, our supply chain and our contract manufacturers could continue to be affected, which could cause further disruptions to our ability to meet customer demand or delivery schedules. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we did see certain delays in our supply chain that adversely impacted delivery schedules to our customers. If COVID-19 were to have such effects in the future, there would likely be a material adverse impact on our financial results, liquidity and capital resource needs. This uncertainty makes it challenging for management to estimate the future performance of our business, particularly in the near to medium term and the impact of COVID-19 could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the near to medium term.

Product revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were adversely affected by supply chain delays across all of our markets. Wireless and cable revenues increased despite such delays,also decreased significantly due to increaseddecreased revenues from certain Tier 1 customers in the period, including increased salesas well as timing of certain end of life products that are not expected to derive significant revenues in future periods. In addition to the impact of supply chain delays, our fixed telco revenue declined due to decreased revenues from one Tier 1 customer, whose planned network buildout is nearing its completion. The decline in cable revenue was primarily the result of the aforementioned supply chain delays.orders.

The decreaseincrease in service revenue was primarily due to decreased sales of servicesincreased support renewals in the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

The decreaseincrease in research and development expense was primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in purchases of research and development materials. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.8$1.8 million increase in personnel costs, driven by the impact of a cash flow hedgereduction in 2020 andpayroll taxes due to a pension benefit relief in ChinaCARES Act credit of $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, which did not repeat in 2022, increased salaries and bonus of $0.8 million due to increased headcount and annual salary increases in 2022, net of decreased stock-based compensation of $0.3 million. Partially offsetting this increase was a decrease in purchases of research and development materials of $0.5 million and a decrease in depreciation of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The (benefit from) income taxesenactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, requires companies to capitalize all of their research and development costs incurred in tax years beginning after 2021. As a result, research and development costs can no longer be expensed as incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to thetax purposes, and must be capitalized and amortized, 5 years for domestic research and 15 years for international. The change in provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily due to a discrete benefit of $7.1 million recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2021 associated with a change in estimate of our priortax law, which results in significant forecasted U.S. income tax for the year taxable net operating loss thatand a significant corresponding increase in deferred tax assets, which is able to be carried back as part of the CARES Act.offset by a full valuation allowance. The change in the (benefit from) provision for income taxes was also impacted by changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings period over period.

The increase in product revenue was primarily attributable to continued increased demand for our wireless products.  The increase in wireless revenue was partially offset by decreased revenue from our fixed telco products, which is due to decreased demand from a Tier 1 customer that is completing its network buildout, and decreased revenue from our cable products, which have been adversely affected by supply chain delays.

The overall increase in service revenue was primarily due to increased support renewals and sales of services in cable and fixed telco, which was partially offset by a decline in wireless service revenue that was due to an increase in sales of certain wireless customer premise equipment products, for which we do not sell service contracts.

The increase in cost of product revenue was attributable to increased revenue. The overall product gross margin decline for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was due to product mix, with lower margin wireless customer premise equipment products comprising a larger percentage of total revenue.

The decrease in cost of service revenue and increase in service gross margin were primarily due to a decrease in utilization of third-party professional services in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The decrease in research and development expense was mainly due to a $1.6 million decrease in purchases of research and development materials.  This decrease was partially offset by increased personnel costs of $0.7 million, caused primarily by increased salaries and benefits of $3.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the impact of a cash flow hedge in 2020 and an increase in average headcount, partially offset by a reduction in payroll taxes due to a CARES Act credit of $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.  Professional services increased $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Allocated facilities and depreciation costs increased by $0.3 million driven by increased average headcount.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.2 million in professional services and a $1.9 million decrease in depreciation expense as assets that became fully depreciated were not replaced.  Personnel costs decreased by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, driven by a $3.7 million decrease in commissions, a $0.7 million decrease in travel due to COVID-19, and a $1.6 million decrease in payroll taxes due to a CARES Act credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by increases in salaries and benefits of $4.0 million, driven by the impact of a cash flow hedge in 2020, increased average headcount, and increased stock-based compensation of $1.5 million.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other taxes of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

We maintain a $25.0 million revolving credit facility, under which we have drawn $6.5 million and utilized $1.5 million of available credit, which we used as collateral for two stand-by letters of credit, leaving $17.0 million of available credit as of September 30, 2021.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Our primary source of cash from operating activities has been cash collections from our customers. We expect cash flows from operating activities to be affected by increases and decreaseschanges in sales volumes and timing of collections, and by purchases and shipments of inventory. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for personnel costs and investment in our selling, general and administrative departments and research and development. Future cash outflows from operating activities may increase as a result of further investment in research and development and selling, general and administrative requirements, andas well as increases in personnel costs as we continue to grow our business by enhancing our existing products and introducing new products.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $15.2$18.1 million, primarily resulting from our net income of $1.7 million, net non-cash adjustments of $21.9 million and net cash usedprovided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $8.4$43.8 million and net non-cash adjustments of $6.8 million, partially offset by our net loss of $32.6 million. The netNet cash usedprovided by changes in our operating assets and liabilities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was primarily due to a $17.6$37.5 million decrease in accounts receivable due to collections during the period; a $21.3 million decrease in prepaid income taxes; a $9.0 million increase in accrued income taxes; and a $4.1 million increase in deferred revenue due to the timing of revenue recognition. These sources of cash were partially offset by a $13.7 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments; a $6.1$13.7 million decrease in accrued expenses;expenses due to the timing of certain accrual payments; a $5.9$0.5 million increase in prepaid income taxes;inventory; and a $1.6$0.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets; and a $1.6 million decrease in accrued income taxes. These uses were partially offset by a $13.2 million decrease in accounts receivable due to collections during the period; a $9.3 million net decrease in inventory; and a $1.9 million increase in deferred revenue due to the timing of revenue recognition.assets.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities have consisted primarily of expenditures for lab and computer equipment and software to support the development of new products. In addition, our investing activities include expansion of and improvements to our facilities. As our business expands, we expect that we will continue to invest in these areas.

Net cash used in investing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $4.4$1.0 million, consisting of purchases of property and equipment and software licenses.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $11.9$3.4 million, consisting primarily of debt principal repayments of $9.0 million and employee taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards of $6.3$1.5 million, primarily due to PSUscertain RSUs that vested during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022.; repurchases of treasury stock of $1.2 million; and debt principal repayments of $0.8 million. These payments were partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $3.5$0.1 million.

Commercial Mortgage Loan

In July 2015, we entered into an $8.0 million commercial mortgage loan agreement, which matured on July 1, 2020. On July 1, 2020, we paid in full the remaining $6.5 million in unpaid principal and accrued interest under the mortgage loan with funds drawn upon our revolving credit facility. The annual interest rate on the loan was 3.5%, and the loan was repayable in 60 monthly installments of principal and interest based on a 20-year amortization schedule.


Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities

On December 20, 2016, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, various lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Barclays Bank PLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, providing for:

 

a term loan facility (“Term Loan”) of $300.0 million; and

 

a revolving credit facility of up to $25.0 million in revolving credit loans and letters of credit.

As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had borrowings of $279.0$277.5 million and $288.0$278.2 million, respectively, outstanding under the term loan facility.  As of September 30,Term Loan. On December 20, 2021, and December 31, 2020 we had borrowings of $6.5 million under the revolving credit facility which were drawn down to fund the repayment of our commercial mortgage loan. However, on October 25, 2021, we repaid the full balance of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility with cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had also used $1.5 million of available credit under the revolving credit facility for two stand-by letters of credit, one which serves as collateral to one of our customers pursuant to a contractual obligation and one which is used as collateral for operating leases in Australia. In addition, we may, subject to certain conditions, including the consent of the administrative agent and the institutions providing such increases, increase the facilities by an unlimited amount so long as we are in compliance with specified leverage ratios, or otherwise by up to $70.0 million.matured.

Borrowings under the facilitiesTerm Loan bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or, at our option, a base rate (defined as the highest of (x) the JPMorgan Chase, N.A. prime rate, (y) the federal funds effective rate, plus one-half percent (0.50%) per annum and (z) a one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% per annum) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facilityTerm Loan is 4.00% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans (subject to a 1.00% per annum interest rate floor) and 3.00% per annum for base rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 1.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans and 0.75% per annum for base rate loans, subject to reduction based on our maintaining specified net leverage ratios. The interest rates payable under the facilities are subject to an increase of 2.00% per annum during the continuance of any payment default.


For Eurodollar rate loans, we may select interest periods of one, three or six months or, with the consent of all relevant affected lenders, twelve months. Interest will be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than every three months within the selected interest period. Interest on any base rate loan is not set for any specified period and is payable quarterly. We have the right to convert Eurodollar rate loans into base rate loans and the right to convert base rate loans into Eurodollar rate loans at our option, subject, in the case of Eurodollar rate loans, to breakage costs if the conversion is effected prior to the end of the applicable interest period. As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the interest rate on the term loansTerm Loan was 5.00% per annum, which was based on a three-month and six-monthone-month Eurodollar rate, respectively, at the applicable floor of 1.00% per annum plus the applicable margin of 4.00% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans. As of September 30, 2021, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 1.83% per annum, which was based on a one-month Eurodollar rate of 0.08% per annum plus the applicable margin of 1.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 2.12% per annum, which was based on the six-month Eurodollar rate of 0.37% per annum plus the applicable margin of 1.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans.

The revolving credit facility also requires payment of quarterly commitment fees at a rate of 0.25% per annum on the difference between committed amounts and amounts actually borrowed under the facility and customary letter of credit fees.

The term loanTerm Loan matures on December 20, 2023 and the revolving credit facility matures on December 20, 2021. The term loan facility is subject to amortization in equal quarterly installments, which commenced on March 31, 2017, of principal in an annual aggregate amount equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount of the term loans of $300.0 million, with the remaining outstanding balance payable at the date of maturity.

Voluntary prepayments of principal amounts outstanding under the term loan facilityTerm Loan are permitted at any time; however, if a prepayment of principal is made with respect to a Eurodollar loan on a date other than the last day of the applicable interest period, we are required to compensate the lenders for any funding losses and expenses incurred as a result of the prepayment. Prior to the revolving credit facility maturity date, funds borrowed under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed, without premium or penalty.

In addition, we are required to make mandatory prepayments under the facilities with respect to (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain asset dispositions (including casualty and condemnation events) by us or certain of our subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment provisions, (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any additional debt by us or certain of our subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and (iii) 50% of our excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement, subject to reduction upon our achievement of specified performance targets. In accordance with these provisions, a mandatory prepayment of $6.8 million was paid on April 2, 2021.


The facilities areTerm Loan is secured by, among other things, a first priority security interest, subject to permitted liens, in substantially all of our assets and all of the assets of certain of our subsidiaries and a pledge of certain of the stock of certain of our subsidiaries, in each case subject to specified exceptions. The facilities containTerm Loan contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions, onsuch as our ability to pay dividends, and, with respect only to the revolving credit facility, a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a specifiedcertain of which are based upon our total net leverage ratio, in the event that on the last day of any fiscal quarter, we have utilized more than 30% of our borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility (subject to certain exceptions). The term loan facility contains a cross-default provision, whereby, if repayment of borrowings under the revolving credit facility are accelerated due to a default of the net leverage ratio covenant, repayment of the outstanding term loan balance could also be accelerated. Because the financial covenant under the revolving credit facility only applies if outstanding utilization thereunder exceeds 30% of the total borrowing capacity on the last day of each fiscal quarter, this cross-default provision has the effect of limiting our ability to utilize more than 30% of our total borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility of $25.0 million if both our net leverage ratio exceeds the maximum permitted by the agreement and we would not otherwise be able to reduce our outstanding utilization of the revolving credit facility to below the 30% testing threshold prior to the last day of any quarter.ratio. As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants of the facilities. We do not expect to require the use of the revolving credit facility to fund operations during the next 12 months.Term Loan.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

Of our total cash and cash equivalents of $156.5$171.7 million as of September 30, 2021, $143.6March 31, 2022, $107.8 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or TCJA established a modified territorial system requiring a mandatory deemed repatriation tax on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $25.5$29.7 million of undistributed earnings in China that are not indefinitely reinvested. The remaining unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are either indefinitely reinvested or could be remitted with an immaterial tax cost.

The TCJA included a provision requiring companies to capitalize all of their research and development costs incurred in tax years beginning after 2021. As a result, research and development costs can no longer be expensed as incurred for tax purposes, and must be capitalized and amortized, 5 years for domestic research and 15 years for international. While it is possible that Congress may retroactively defer, modify or repeal the law change, any such actions would be accounted for in the period of enactment. Absent such Congressional action, this change in tax law will result in significant cash tax payments and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

Securities Purchase Agreement with Verizon Ventures LLC

On April 18, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Verizon Ventures LLC providing for the private placement of an aggregate of 9.3 million shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $4.24 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $39.5 million.

We are required to prepare and file a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within 45 days of the closing of the SPA, and intend to use the net proceeds from the private placement for general corporate purposes.

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 21, 2019, we announced a stock repurchase program under which we were authorized to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased approximately 0.2 million shares for a total cost of approximately $1.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2022, approximately $60.2 million remained authorized for repurchases of our common stock


under the stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and does not require us to purchase a minimum number of shares, and we may suspend, modify or discontinue the stock repurchase program at any time without prior notice.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from future operations and liquidity available from our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs and debt service obligations for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, purchases of capital equipment to support our growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, expansion of our business through acquisitions or our investments in complementary products, technologies or businesses, the use of working capital to purchase additional inventory, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 21, 2019, we announced a stock repurchase program under which we were authorized to repurchase up to $75.0 million of our common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares for a total cost of approximately $3.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $70.2 million remained authorized for repurchases of our common stock under the stock repurchase program. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and does not require us to purchase a minimum number of shares, and we may suspend, modify or discontinue the stock repurchase program at any time without prior notice.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our material contractual obligations include our term loan, facility, revolving credit facility, operating leases and purchase agreements with our contract manufacturers and suppliers.  There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related


disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management.

Other than our policies related to stock-based compensation and our adoption of ASU 2020-06,2021-08, as described in Note 2 of the above notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values or future cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We currently mitigate certain foreign currency exchange rate risks with derivative instruments and enter into exchange rate hedging arrangements to manage certain of the risks described below. We do not engage in foreign currency speculation.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have accounts receivables denominated in foreign currencies, and our operations outside of the United States incur their operating expenses in foreign currencies. To date, the majority of our product sales and inventory purchasesThere have been denominated in U.S. dollars. Forno material changes to our subsidiaries in Ireland and Australia, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. For each of our other foreign subsidiaries, the functional currency is the local currency. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we incurred foreign currency transaction (losses) gains of $(1.4) million and $0.7 million, respectively, primarilymarket risks related to unrealized and realized foreign currency (losses) gains for accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies and operating expenses that are denominated in local currencies. We recorded these foreign currency transaction (losses) gains as a component of other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. We believe that a 10% change in the exchange rate between either the U.S. dollar and Euro or the U.S. dollar and Australian dollar would not materially impact our operating results or financial position.

Our foreign currency risk management practices are principally intended to mitigate the potential financial impact of changes in the value of transactions and balances denominated in foreign currencies resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange, rates. From time to time we enter into cash flow hedges, which utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific forecasted transactions ofinterest rate sensitivity and inflation as disclosed in our foreign subsidiaries withAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the goal of protecting our budgeted revenues and expenses against foreign currency exchange rate changes compared to our budgeted rates. During the three and nine monthsfiscal year ended September 30, 2020, we settled two cash flow hedges which were used to hedge specific operating cash flows denominated in Australian dollars. No cash flow hedges were settled or outstanding during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Additionally, from time to time, we enter into other foreign currency forward contracts with the goal of protecting outstanding receivables denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2021 we had two currency forward contracts outstanding with notional amounts totaling 1.4 million Euros that will mature in the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022 and we expect to continue to hedge certain significant transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the future.

The success of our foreign currency risk management program depends upon forecasts of transaction activity denominated in various currencies. To the extent that these forecasts are overstated or understated during periods of currency volatility, we could experience unanticipated foreign currency gains or losses that could have a material impact on our results of operations. Furthermore, our failure to identify new exposures and hedge against them in an effective manner may result in material foreign currency gains or losses.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of cash maintained in FDIC-insured operating accounts as well as investments in money market mutual funds and certificates of deposit. We also2021.


have policies requiring that we invest in high-quality issuers, limit our exposure to any individual issuer, and ensure adequate liquidity. Our primary exposure to market risk for our cash equivalents is interest income sensitivity, which is primarily affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. However, we do not believe a sudden change in the interest rates for our cash equivalents would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have a credit agreement that provides us with a term loan facility of $300.0 million and a revolving credit facility of up to $25.0 million in revolving credit loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either a Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin or, at our option, a base rate (defined as the highest of (x) the JPMorgan Chase, N.A. prime rate, (y) the federal funds effective rate, plus one-half percent (0.50%) per annum and (z) a one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.00% per annum) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility is 4.00% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans (subject to a 1.00% per annum interest rate floor) and 3.00% per annum for base rate loans. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 1.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans and 0.75% per annum for base rate loans, subject to reduction based on our maintaining of specified net leverage ratios.

As of September 30, 2021, we had borrowings of $279.0 million outstanding under the term loan facility, bearing interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum, which was based on a three-month Eurodollar rate at the applicable floor of 1.00% per annum plus the applicable margin of 4.00% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans. Changes in interest rates could cause interest charges on our term loan facility to fluctuate. Based on the amount of borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2021, an increase or decrease of 10% in the Eurodollar rate would have no impact on our earnings and cash flows, as the interest rate in effect at September 30, 2021 on the term loan facility was at the applicable floor of 1.00% per annum and would continue to be in effect with a change of 10%.

On July 1, 2020, we drew down upon our revolving credit facility under our term loan agreement in the amount of $6.5 million. As noted in Note 10, Debt, borrowings under the revolving credit facility mature on December 21, 2021 and the applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is 1.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans. The interest rate on the outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2021 was 1.83%, which was based on a one-month Eurodollar rate of 0.08% per annum plus the applicable margin of 1.75% per annum for Eurodollar rate loans.  An increase or decrease of 10% in the one-month Eurodollar rate would result in a pre-tax change to our earnings and cash flows of less than $0.1 million per year, assuming that such rate was to remain in effect for a year.

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business to date. However, as more fully described in Item 2 above, global demand for the base materials utilized by our suppliers and supply chain risks could result in significant increases in the costs of the components we purchase, and we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our 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), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

From time to time, we are a party to various litigation matters and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business including, for example, patent infringement lawsuits by non-practicing entities.  In addition, third parties may from time to time assert claims against us in the form of letters and other communications.

On October 4, 2021, the court granted motions to dismiss filed by the defendants.  By letter dated April 8, 2022, plaintiff voluntarily withdrew its unperfected appeal.

No amounts have been accrued for any of the putative class action lawsuits referenced above as of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, as we do not believe the likelihood of a material loss is probable.  Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the resolution of any of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations in the period in which such matter is resolved.


Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,2021, or the 20202021 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Other than the updated risk factors described below, thereThere have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 20202021 10-K.

Risks Related to COVID-19 Pandemic

The coronavirus outbreak could negatively impact our operations and have an adverse effect on our revenues and/or results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic presents various risks to us, not all of which we are able to fully evaluate or even to foresee at the current time, and which could have a material effect upon the estimates and judgments relied upon by management in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements. While we remain fully operational, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global supply chain had a significant adverse effect on our financial results.  In particular, certain of our products utilize components, for which there has been increased global demand.  As a result, throughout 2021, and increasingly during the three months ended September 30, 2021, we began to see shortages of supply that resulted in our inability to fulfill certain customer orders within normal lead times.  This adversely impacted our revenue and operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. While we continue to work with our supply chain, contract manufacturers, and customers to minimize the extent of such impacts, we expect the effects of global supply chain issues to continue and cannot predict when such effects will subside.  This may prevent us from being able to fulfill our customers’ orders in a timely manner or at all, which could lead to one or more of our customers cancelling their orders.  At this time, we are neither able to estimate the extent of these impacts nor predict whether our efforts to minimize or contain them will be successful. We intend to continue to monitor our business very closely for any effects of COVID-19 for as long as necessary.

Due to the above circumstances and as described generally in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future periods. Management cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our sales channels, supply chain, manufacturing and distribution, or on economic conditions generally, including the effects on our current and potential customers, who may curtail spending on investments in current and/or new technologies, delay new equipment evaluations and trials, cancel orders, and possibly delay payments based on liquidity concerns, all of which could have a material impact on our business in the future. Similarly, our supply chain and our contract manufacturers could be affected, which could cause disruptions to our ability to meet customer demand or delivery schedules. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we did see certain delays in our supply chain that adversely impacted delivery schedules to our customers.  If COVID-19 were to have such effects in the future, there would likely be a material adverse impact on our financial results, liquidity and capital resource needs. This uncertainty makes it challenging for management to estimate the future performance of our business, particularly in the near to medium term and the impact of COVID-19 could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations in the near to medium term.

The coronavirus outbreak has resulted in an increase in demand for certain of our solutions, which may subside or decrease when the pandemic ends.

The pandemic and resulting lockdowns have resulted in an increase in demand for residential broadband services, which has in turn led to an increase in demand for certain of our solutions, including our fiber extension home network connection devices and our Fixed Wireless Access CPE devices. We also saw a shift in demand from our cable customers toward more I-CCAP chassis each quarter. That increase in demand contributed to our strong revenue performance in 2020 and has continued into 2021. We cannot guarantee that the heightened demand for residential broadband services will continue for the duration of the pandemic or after the pandemic ends. We similarly cannot guarantee that even to the extent the heightened demand for residential broadband services continues that we will continue to see heightened demand for our solutions. A decrease in demand for our solutions could have a material adverse impact on our revenue and results of operations.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Use of Proceeds

On December 14, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, declared our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-221658) for our initial public offering, or IPO, effective. The net offering proceeds to us from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts of $6.3 million and offering expenses payable by us totaling $4.1 million, were approximately $79.3 million. No offering discounts, commissions or expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning 10.0% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on December 15, 2017 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4). As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had not used any of the net offering proceeds and we have invested the proceeds into an investment portfolio with the primary objective of preserving principal and providing liquidity without significantly increasing risk.
