NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Arlo Technologies, Inc. (“Arlo”) combines an intelligent cloud infrastructure and mobile app with a variety of smart connected devices that transform the way people experience the connected lifestyle. Our deep expertise in product design, wireless connectivity, cloud infrastructure and cutting-edge AI capabilities focuses on delivering a seamless, smart home experience for Arlo users that is easy to setup and interact with every day. Our cloud-based platform provides users with visibility, insight and a powerful means to help protect and connect in real-time with the people and things that matter most, from any location with a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection.
We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”)—and primarily generate revenue by selling devices through retail channels, wholesale distribution, wireless carrier channels, security solution providers, and Arlo’s direct to consumer store and paid subscription services.
Our corporate headquarters is located in Carlsbad, California with other satellite offices across North America and various other global locations.
Basis of Presentation
We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arlo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for interim periods.
Fiscal periods
Our fiscal year begins on January 1 of the year stated and ends on December 31 of the same year. We report the results on a fiscal quarter basis rather than on a calendar quarter basis. Under the fiscal quarter basis, each of the first three fiscal quarters ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter end, with the fourth quarter ending on December 31.
Reclassification
Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Use of estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and operating results for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any future period.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes to such policies during the three months ended April 2, 2023.
Emerging Growth Company Status
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), we may, under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies, unless we otherwise irrevocably elect not to avail ourselves of this exemption. We did not make such an irrevocable election and have not delayed the adoption of any applicable accounting standards. We will no longer qualify as an EGC on December 31, 2023. Accordingly, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2023 will include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended April 2, 2023.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
We have considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, and do not expect any to have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3. Revenue

Our investments in cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
As of April 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022, assets and liabilities measured as Level 2 fair value were not material and there were no Level 3 fair value assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis.
Fair Value Measurements - Nonrecurring Basis
We measure the fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, we had no assets or liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis.
Note 6. Restructuring
In November 2022, we initiated a restructuring plan to reduce our cost structure to better align the operational needs of the business to current economic conditions while continuing to support our long-term strategy. This restructuring includes the reduction of headcount as well as the abandonment of certain lease contracts and the cancellation of contractual services arrangements with certain suppliers. We expect the completion date to be in the third quarter of 2023 with the total estimated restructuring charges of $2.1 million.
The restructuring liabilities are included in accrued liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restructuring activities for the three months ended April 2, 2023 are as follows:

Note 7. Revolving Credit Facility
On October 27, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as lender (the “Lender”).
The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on October 27, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to the lesser of (x) $40.0 million, and (y) an amount equal to the borrowing base. The borrowing base will be the sum of (i) 90% of investment grade eligible receivables and (ii) 85% of non-investment grade eligible accounts, less applicable reserves established by the Lender. The Credit Agreement also includes a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance by the Lender of letters of credit. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows us to request, from time to time, that the Lender increase the aggregate revolving loan commitments by up to an additional $25.0 million in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining the Lender’s agreement to participate in each increase. The proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Based on certain terms and conditions including eligible accounts receivable as of April 2, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $8.4 million.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our domestic working capital assets, including accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, inventory, and other assets to the extent related to such working capital assets.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a floating rate equal to: (i) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate plus the applicable rate of 2.0% to 2.5% determined based on our average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter, or (ii) the base rate plus the applicable rate of 1.0% to 1.5% based on our average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter. Among other fees, we are required to pay a monthly unused fee of 0.2% per annum on the amount by which the Lender’s aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility exceeds the average daily revolver usage during such month.
The Credit Agreement contains events of default, representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to (a) until we achieve a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for two consecutive quarters, maintain minimum liquidity of not less than $20.0 million at all times and (b) thereafter, if the Financial Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is in effect, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, tested quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis, of at least 1.00 to 1.00 at any time. As of April 2, 2023, we were in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement.
If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs, then the Lender may cease making advances under the Credit Agreement and declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if we file a bankruptcy petition, a bankruptcy petition is filed against us and is not dismissed or stayed within thirty days or we make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically and without notice or demand become immediately due and payable.
No amounts had been drawn under the Credit Facility as of April 2, 2023.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
Our operating leases comprise offices, equipment, data centers and distribution centers, with various expiration dates through June 2029. Certain lease agreements include options to renew or terminate the lease, which are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into our determination of lease payments. The terms of certain leases provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. Gross lease expense was $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, respectively. We recorded sublease income as reduction of lease expense, in the amount of $0.5 million for each of the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022.

Letters of Credit
In connection with the lease agreement for our office space located in San Jose, California, we executed a letter of credit with the landlord as the beneficiary. As of April 2, 2023, we had approximately $3.6 million of unused letters of credit outstanding, of which $3.1 million pertains to the lease arrangement in San Jose, California.
Purchase Obligations
We have entered into various inventory-related purchase agreements with suppliers. Generally, under these agreements, 50% of orders are cancelable by giving notice 46 to 60 days prior to the expected shipment date and 25% of orders are cancelable by giving notice 31 to 45 days prior to the expected shipment date. Orders are non-cancelable within 30 days prior to the expected shipment date. As of April 2, 2023, we had approximately $36.6 million in non-cancelable purchase commitments with suppliers.
As of April 2, 2023, an additional $24.2 million of purchase orders beyond contractual termination periods have been issued to supply chain partners in anticipation of demand requirements. Consequently, we may incur expenses for the materials and components, such as chipsets already purchased by the supplier to fulfill our orders if the purchase order is cancelled. Expenses incurred have historically not been significant relative to the original order value. As of April 2, 2023, the loss liability from committed purchases was not material.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters
We are involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions, including, but not limited to, the matters described below. In all cases, at each reporting period, we evaluate whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. In such cases, we accrue for the amount or, if a range, we accrue the low end of the range, only if there is not a better estimate than any other amount within the range, as a component of legal expense within general and administrative expenses. We monitor developments in these legal matters that could affect the estimate we had previously accrued. In relation to such matters, we currently believe that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position within the next 12 months, or the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation, and these actions or other third-party claims against us may cause us to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. In addition, the resolution of any intellectual property litigation may require us to make royalty payments, which could have an adverse effect in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to adjust the liability and record additional expenses.
Securities Class Action Lawsuits and Derivative Suit
On December 11, 2018, purported stockholders of Arlo filed six putative securities class action complaints in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara (the “State Action”), and one complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Federal Action”) against us and certain of our executives and directors. The plaintiffs in the State Action allege that we failed to adequately disclose quality control problems and adverse sales trends ahead of our initial public offering (the “IPO”), violating the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief on behalf of investors who purchased Company common stock issued pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO. In the Federal Action, the court appointed a shareholder named Matis Nayman as lead plaintiff. Lead plaintiff alleged violations of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on alleged materially false and misleading statements about our sales trends and products. In the amended complaint, lead plaintiff sought to represent a class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock (i) during the period between August 3, 2018 through December 3, 2018 and/or (ii) pursuant to or traceable to the IPO. Lead plaintiff sought class certification, an award of unspecified damages, an award of costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and other further relief as the court may deem just and proper.
On August 6, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. The federal court granted that motion, and lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On June 12, 2020, lead plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of a class action settlement for $1.25 million, which was also the amount that we had accrued for loss contingency. In October 2020, we made a $1.25 million payment to an escrow account administered by the court and
16

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
plaintiff’s counsel (the “Settlement Fund”). The Settlement Fund was deemed to be in the custody of the court and remained subject to the jurisdiction of the court until such time as the Settlement Fund was distributed pursuant to the settlement agreement and/or further order of the court.
On February 5, 2021, lead plaintiff filed a motion for final approval of the settlement. In advance of the final approval hearing, three of the named plaintiffs in the State Action requested exclusion from the settlement. The court held a final approval hearing on March 11, 2021, and, on March 25, 2021, entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement and, among other things, dismissed with prejudice all claims of lead plaintiff and the Settlement Class (as defined in the settlement agreement). The Federal Action is now closed.
In the State Action, on May 5, 2021, the court held a status conference and instructed plaintiffs Perros, Patel, and Pham (“Plaintiffs”), who were the only Arlo stockholders to opt out of the federal settlement, to file an amended complaint by June 4, 2021. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint, asserting their individual Securities Act claims, but also purporting to represent a new class of Arlo stockholders who purchased Arlo shares between December 3, 2018 and February 22, 2019. On June 21, 2021, the Arlo defendants filed a motion to dismiss the State Action (for forum non conveniens) based on the federal forum provision in Arlo’s certificate of incorporation. Plaintiffs opposed on July 28, 2021, and the Arlo defendants replied on August 13, 2021. On September 9, 2021, the court issued an order granting the Arlo defendants’ forum non conveniens motion, and on September 17, 2021, the court issued a final judgment dismissing the State Action in its entirety. On November 16, 2021, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal. The appeal occurred before the California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District. Plaintiffs-Appellants filed their opening brief on May 20, 2022. Defendants-Respondents filed their responding brief on August 18, 2022, and Plaintiffs-Appellants filed their reply brief on September 7, 2022. On April 13, 2023, the court heard oral argument on the appeal and the case was submitted. On May 5, 2023, the Court of Appeal affirmed by written order the trial court’s dismissal of the State Action based on the federal forum provision in Arlo’s certificate of incorporation and awarded costs to Arlo.
Leonard R. Pinto v. Arlo Technologies, Inc., et al.
In addition to the State Action and the Federal Action, a purported stockholder named Leonard Pinto filed a tagalong derivative action on June 13, 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Pinto v. Arlo Technologies, Inc. et al., No. 19-CV-03354 (the “Derivative Action”). The Derivative Action is brought on behalf of Arlo against the majority of our current directors. The complaint is based on the same alleged misconduct as the securities class actions but asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, and violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On August 20, 2019, the court stayed the Derivative Action in deference to the Federal Action. On April 8, 2021, because it had granted final approval of the settlement in the Federal Action, the court lifted the stay in the Derivative Action and asked the parties to file a joint status report by April 22, 2021. In their status report, the parties stipulated to a schedule for plaintiff to file an amended complaint and for the parties to brief a motion to dismiss. Plaintiff filed his amended complaint on May 24, 2021. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on July 9, 2021. On August 23, 2021, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on December 17, 2021. Plaintiff filed his opposition on January 31, 2022, and defendants filed their reply on March 2, 2022. On July 28, 2022, the Court heard defendants’ motion to dismiss. At the hearing, the Court informed the parties that it was inclined to grant defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, and the Court’s corresponding written order dismissing the case followed on August 8, 2022. The Derivative Action is now closed.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, distributors, resellers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising from breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with members of our board of directors and certain of our executive officers that require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may
17

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. As of April 2, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and we are not currently aware of any indemnification claims.
Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans
We grant options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), under which awards may be granted to all employees. We also grant performance-based and market-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) to our executive officers periodically. Award vesting periods for the 2018 Plan are generally to four years. As of April 2, 2023, approximately 3.7 million shares were available for future grants. Options may be granted for periods of up to 10 years or such shorter term as may be provided in the agreement and at prices no less than 100% of the fair market value of Arlo’s common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2018 Plan generally vest over four years, the first tranche at the end of 12 months and the remaining shares underlying the option vesting monthly over the remaining three years.
On January 20, 2023, we registered an aggregate of up to 4,444,072 shares of common stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-8, including 3,555,258 shares issuable pursuant to the 2018 Plan that were automatically added to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan and 888,814 shares issuable pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that were automatically added to the shares authorized for issuance on January 1, 2023, both pursuant to an “evergreen” provision contained in the respective plans.

The number of units earned and eligible to vest are determined based on the achievement of various performance conditions or market conditions, including the cumulative paid accounts targets, stock price, cash balances at reporting period, and the recipients’ continued services. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the probability of achieving the performance or market conditions and record the related stock-based compensation expense based on the achievement over the service period.

Note 10. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 2, 2023 was $0.8 million, or an effective tax rate of (5.9)%. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $0.2 million, or an effective tax rate of (2.6)%. During the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, we sustained U.S. book losses. Consistent with the prior year, we maintained a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and did not record a tax benefit on these deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Provision for income taxes increased for the three months ended April 2, 2023, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher U.S. earnings and also the application of Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code requiring capitalization of research and experimental expenses.

Business and Executive Overview
Arlo combines an intelligent cloud infrastructure and mobile app with a variety of smart connected devices that are transforming the way people experience the connected lifestyle. Arlo’s deep expertise in product design, wireless connectivity, cloud infrastructure and cutting-edge AI capabilities focuses on delivering a seamless, smart home experience for Arlo users that is easy to setup and interact with every day. Our cloud-based platform provides users with visibility, insight and a powerful means to help protect and connect in real-time with the people and things that matter most, from any location with a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection. Since the launch of our first product in December 2014, we have shipped over 28.4 million smart connected devices. As of April 2, 2023, the Arlo platform had approximately 7.5 million cumulative registered accounts across more than 100 countries around the world coupled with 2.0 million cumulative paid subscribers and annual recurring revenue of $182.6 million.
We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”)—and we primarily generate revenue by selling devices through retail, wholesale distribution, wireless carrier channels, security solution providers, Arlo’s direct to consumer store and paid subscription services. For the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, we generated total revenue of $111.0 million and $124.8 million, respectively. Loss from operations was $14.1 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, respectively.
Our goal is to continue to develop innovative, world-class connected lifestyle solutions to expand and further monetize our current and future user and paid account bases. We believe that the growth of our business is dependent on many factors, including our ability to innovate and launch successful new products on a timely basis and grow our installed base, to increase subscription-based recurring revenue, to invest in channel partnerships and to continue our global expansion. We expect to increase our investment in research and development going forward as we continue to introduce new and innovative products and services to enhance the Arlo platform and compete for engineering talent. We also expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we invest in marketing to drive awareness of our brand and demand for our products and services.

Key Business Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions. We believe these key business metrics provide useful information by offering the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our on-going operating results and a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business. Our key business metrics may be calculated in a manner different from the same key business metrics used by other companies. We regularly review our processes for calculating these metrics, and from time to time we may discover inaccuracies in our metrics or make adjustments to better reflect our business or to improve their accuracy, including adjustments that may result in the recalculation of our historical metrics. We believe that any such inaccuracies or adjustments are immaterial unless otherwise stated.

Cumulative Registered Accounts. We believe that our ability to increase our user base is an indicator of our market penetration and growth of our business as we continue to expand and innovate our Arlo platform. We define our registered accounts at the end of a particular period as the number of unique registered accounts on the Arlo platform as of the end of such period. The number of registered accounts does not necessarily reflect the number of end-users on the Arlo platform as one registered account may be used by multiple end-users to monitor the devices attached to that household.
Cumulative Paid Accounts. Paid accounts are defined as any account worldwide where a subscription to a paid service is being collected (either by us or by our customers or channel partners, including Verisure).
Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”). We believe ARR enables measurement of our business initiatives, and serves as an indicator of our future growth. ARR represents the amount of paid service revenue that we expect to recur annually and is calculated by taking our recurring paid service revenue for the last calendar month in the fiscal quarter, multiplied by 12 months. Recurring paid service revenue represents the revenue we recognize from our paid accounts and excludes prepaid service revenue and Non-Recurring Engineering (“NRE”) service revenue from strategic partners. ARR is a performance metric and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items.
Impact of Global Geopolitical, Economic and Business Conditions
During the three months ended April 2, 2023, we remained focused on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, inflation, lower consumer confidence and rising interest rates by preserving our liquidity and managing our cash flow by taking preemptive action to enhance our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. These actions include, but are not limited to, proactively managing working capital by closely monitoring customers’ credit and collections, renegotiating payment terms with third-party manufacturers and key suppliers, closely monitoring inventory levels and purchases against forecasted demand, reducing or eliminating headcount and non-essential spending, subleasing and not renewing excess office space, and deferring hiring. We continue to monitor the situation and may, as necessary, reduce expenditures further, borrow under our revolving credit facility, or pursue other sources of capital that may include other forms of external financing in order to maintain our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the uncertainty in the United States and global markets resulting from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, the inflationary macro environment, lower consumer confidence and rising interest rates and current financial conditions within the banking industry, including the effects of recent failures of other financial institutions, and liquidity levels.

Revenue
Our gross revenue consists primarily of sales of devices, prepaid and paid subscription service revenue and NRE service revenue. We generally recognize revenue from product sales at the time the product is shipped and transfer of control from us to the customer occurs. Upon device shipment, we attribute a portion of the sales price as prepaid service, deferring this revenue at the outset and subsequently recognizing it ratably over the estimated useful economic life of the device or free trial period, as applicable. Our paid subscription services relate to sales of subscription plans to our registered accounts. Our services also include certain development services provided to strategic partners under NRE arrangements.
Our revenue consists of gross revenue, less end-user customer rebates and other channel sales incentives, allowances for estimated sales returns, price protection, and net changes in deferred revenue. A significant portion of our marketing expenditure is with customers and is deemed to be a reduction of revenue under authoritative guidance for revenue recognition.
We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) EMEA; and (iii) APAC—and generally base revenue by geography on the ship-to location of the customer for device sales and device location for service sales.

Product revenue decreased in all regions by $27.8 million, or 29.3% for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the decrease in product shipments in all regions due to a reduction in the average selling prices (“ASPs”) of our products as we increased promotional activities to stimulate household acquisition and increased subscriber growth coupled with the softening consumer demand as a result of current macro-economic factors.
Service revenue increased in all regions by $14.0 million, or 46.8% for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases in paid accounts and rates for our subscription plans.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists of both product costs and service costs. Product costs primarily consist of the cost of finished products from our third-party manufacturers and overhead costs, including personnel expense for operation staff, purchasing, product planning, inventory control, warehousing and distribution logistics, third-party software licensing fees, inbound freight, IT and facilities overhead, warranty costs associated with returned goods, write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory and excess components, and royalties to third parties. Service costs consist of costs attributable to the provision and maintenance of our cloud-based platform, including personnel, storage, security and computing, IT and facilities overhead as well as NRE service costs incurred under NRE arrangements.
Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue can vary based upon a number of factors, including those that may affect our revenue set forth above and factors that may affect our cost of revenue, including, without limitation product mix, sales channel mix, registered accounts’ acceptance of paid subscription service offerings, and changes in our cost of goods sold due to fluctuations in prices paid for components, net of vendor rebates, cloud platform costs, warranty and overhead costs, inbound freight and duty costs, and charges for excess or obsolete inventory. We outsource our manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution logistics. We also outsource certain components of the required infrastructure to support our cloud-based back-end IT infrastructure. We believe this outsourcing strategy allows us to better manage our product and service costs and gross margin and allows us to adapt to changing market dynamics and supply chain constraints.
The following table presents cost of revenue and gross margin for the periods indicated:

25
Product cost of revenue decreased 20.7% for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in product shipments coupled with a decrease in freight-in costs due to normalization of the supply chain and utilization of ocean freight.
Service cost of revenue increased 13.0% for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, as a result of service revenue growth, offset by cost optimizations.

Product gross profit decreased for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in product shipments in all regions due to a reduction in the ASPs of our products as we increased promotional activities to stimulate household acquisition and increased subscriber growth coupled with the softening consumer demand as a result of current macro-economic factors. The product gross profit decrease was partially offset by the decrease in freight-in costs due to normalization of the supply chain and utilization of ocean freight.
Service gross profit increased for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to growth in paid service revenue in all regions as a result of increases in paid accounts and rates for our subscription plans as well as cost optimizations.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense, safety, security, regulatory services and testing, other research and development consulting fees, and corporate IT and facilities overhead. Generally, we recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Research and development expense directly attributable to delivering the Verisure NRE is recognized in cost of service. We have invested in and expanded our research and development organization to enhance our ability to introduce innovative products and services. We expect research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as we develop new product and service offerings and compete for engineering talent. We believe that innovation and technological leadership are critical to our future success, and we are committed to continuing a significant level of research and development to develop new technologies, products, and services, including our hardware devices, cloud-based software, AI-based algorithms, and machine learning capabilities.

Research and development expense increased by $1.4 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase of $2.0 million in personnel-related expenses mainly from stock-based compensation and merit increase in base salary, partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in corporate IT and facilities overhead.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel expense for sales and marketing staff, technical support expense, advertising, trade shows, media and placement, corporate communications and other marketing expense, product marketing expense, IT and facilities overhead, outbound freight costs, and credit card processing fees. We expect our sales and marketing expense to increase in the future as we invest in marketing to drive awareness of our brand and demand for our products and services.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for certain executives, finance and accounting, investor relations, human resources, legal, information technology, professional fees, corporate IT and facilities overhead, strategic initiative expense, and other general corporate expense. We expect our general and administrative expense to fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue in future periods based on fluctuations in our revenue and the timing of such expense.

General and administrative expense increased $3.0 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase of $3.9 million in personnel-related expenses mainly from stock-based compensation and merit increase in base salary, partially offset by decreases of $0.8 million in corporate IT and facilities overhead and other.
27
Others
Others include separation expense, which consists primarily of costs of legal and professional services for IPO-related litigation associated with our separation from NETGEAR, and restructuring charges, which consist of severance costs and office exit expense associated with the abandonment of certain lease contracts.
Interest Income (Expense) and Other Income (Expense), Net
The following table presents interest income (expense) and other income (expense), net for the periods indicated:

**Percentage change not meaningful.
Interest income (expense), net increased for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in our short-term investments as well as a result of higher interest rates.
Other income (expense), net decreased for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the foreign currency exchange losses for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the foreign currency exchange gains in the prior year period.
Provision for Income Taxes
The following table presents provision for income taxes for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||

| Provision for income taxes | $ | 792 | 271.8 | % | $ | 213 | |||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | (5.9) | % | (2.6) | % | |||||||||||||
Provision for income taxes increased for the three months ended April 2, 2023, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher U.S. earnings and also the application of Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code requiring capitalization of research and experimental expenses. Consistent with the prior year, we maintained a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and did not record a tax benefit on these deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.
28
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 2, 2023, our cash and cash equivalent and short-term investments totaled $118.7 million and we had unused borrowing capacity of $8.4 million based on the terms and conditions of our revolving credit facility. We have a history of losses and may continue to incur operating and net losses for the foreseeable future. As of April 2, 2023, our accumulated deficit was $359.7 million. Historically, we have funded our principal business activities through cash flows generated from operations and available cash on hand.
Material Cash Requirements
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, in the future we may require or desire additional funds to support our operating expenses and capital requirements. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient, we may seek to raise additional funds through public or private equity. We have no commitments to obtain such additional financing and cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available at all or, if available, that such financing would be obtainable on terms favorable to us and would not be dilutive.
Our future liquidity and cash requirements may vary from those currently planned and will depend on numerous factors, including the introduction of new products, the growth in our service revenue, the ability to increase our gross margin dollars, as well as cost optimization initiatives and controls over our operating expenditures. As we grow our installed base and related cost structure, there will be a need for additional working capital, hence, we have increased our subscription rates effective February 3, 2023.
Leases and Contractual Commitments
Our operating lease obligations mostly include offices, equipment, data centers, and distribution centers. Our contractual commitments are primarily inventory-related purchase obligations with suppliers.
Contingencies
We are involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions. We evaluate whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of loss. In such cases, we accrue for the amount or, if a range, we accrue the low end of the range, only if there is not a better estimate than any other amount within the range, as a component of legal expense within litigation reserves, net.
Refer to Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information about our operating leases, purchase obligations, and legal contingencies.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $34.9 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to changes in working capital as a result of an increase in our service revenue driven by growth in paid accounts and increased subscription rates, higher collection from customers on products sales due to enhanced collection efforts, and lower payments to suppliers primarily as a result of lower inventory purchases.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $22.3 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower net purchases of short-term investments.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $0.6 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in withholding tax from restricted stock unit releases, partially offset by lower proceeds related to employee benefit plans.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a complete description of what we believe to be the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 2, 2023, other than as discussed in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
During the three months ended April 2, 2023, there were no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated 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) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at the reasonable assurance level. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals in all future circumstances.
