NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been prepared by Digi International Inc. (the “Company,” “Digi,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, including (but not limited to) the summary of significant accounting policies presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, filed with the SEC (“2018 Financial Statements”).

Effective October 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) as discussed below. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with the new standards, as indicated by the “as adjusted” footnote.

The condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. All adjustments consist only of normal, recurring adjustments. The condensed consolidated results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from our 2018 Financial Statements, but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Except for the accounting policy for revenue recognition that was updated as a result of adopting ASU 2014-09, there have been no other changes to our significant accounting policies described in our 2018 Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize hardware product revenue upon transfer of control of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We determine the amount of revenue to be recognized through application of the following steps:


•	Identification of the contract, or contracts with a customer;


•	Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;


•	Determination of the transaction price;


•	Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and


•	Recognition of revenue when or as we satisfy the performance obligations.

Hardware Product Revenue and SmartSense by Digi^™ Equipment Revenue and Associated Installation Fees

Our SmartSense by Digi^™ equipment revenue is recorded as an up-front sale at its stand-alone selling price because the customer could utilize our equipment with other monitoring services or could use our monitoring services with hardware purchased from other vendors. Our installation charges are recorded when the product is installed.

Table of Contents

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Subscription and Support Services Revenue

Our SmartSense by Digi^™subscription revenue is recorded on a monthly basis. These subscriptions are generally in a range from one to five years, and may contain an evergreen renewal provision. Generally, our subscription renewal charges per month are the same as the original contract term.

We also derive service revenue from our Digi Remote Manager^®, a platform-as-a-service (“PaaS”) offering, whereby customers pay for services consumed based on the number of devices being managed or monitored. This revenue is recognized over the life of the service term.

Digi Support Services revenues are recognized over the life of the support contract. Some of Digi Support Services revenue is for training and this revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

Professional Services Revenue

Professional services revenue is derived from our Digi Wireless Design Services contracts on either on a time-and-materials or a fixed-fee basis. These revenues are recognized as the services are performed for time-and-materials contracts, or when milestones are achieved and accepted by the customer for fixed-fee contracts.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations

SmartSense by Digi^™revenues typically are derived from contracts with multiple performance obligations. These obligations may include: delivery of monitoring equipment that the customer either purchases out-right or uses while we retain ownership, monitoring services, providing condition alerts of assets being monitored, and recertification of sensor equipment. When we retain ownership of the equipment, we charge an implementation fee to the customer so they can begin using the equipment. In these instances, all revenue derived from the above obligations is recognized over the subscription term of the contract. If the customer purchases the equipment out-right, that portion of the revenue is recognized at the stand-alone selling price at the time the equipment is shipped and all other revenue is recognized over the subscription term of the contract.

We have made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of our revenues any sales or similar taxes we collect from customers.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard, which should be applied prospectively, is effective for our fiscal year ending September 30, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU was early adopted by us on October 1, 2018 and did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 provided guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. This ASU was effective for us this first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018. This ASU was adopted by us on October 1, 2018 and did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this update provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues, thereby reducing the diversity in practice in how certain transaction are classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU was effective for us this first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018. This ASU was adopted by us on October 1, 2018 and did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendments in this update also simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values.

This ASU also has changed the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, this ASU has clarified the guidance related to valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The amendments in this ASU were effective for our first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018. This ASU was adopted by us on October 1, 2018 and did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). This standard requires that revenue is recognized for the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. It also establishes timing associated with recognizing revenues and amortizing costs associated with contracts. FASB has issued several amendments to ASU 2014-09, including clarifications on disclosure of prior-period performance obligations and remaining performance obligations. The guidance permits two methods of adoption, one of which is to retrospectively adjust results for each prior reporting period presented. We elected to adopt the standard using this method effective October 1, 2018.

We have described how we recognize revenue in the aforementioned revenue recognition policy. Relative to the amortization of costs there are two impacts to our financial statements. First, in instances where we retain ownership of equipment a customer uses, we charge an implementation fee to the customer so they can begin using the equipment. We amortize this cost of the equipment over its useful life (typically three years). Second, we capitalize and amortize commissions paid to sales personnel or agents on service contracts. If the commissions earned during an accounting period exceed our capitalization threshold, they will be amortized over the calculated average expected life of the pool of contracts closed during that period.

In order to ease our transition in the adoption of Topic 606, we have elected to take the following permitted actions under the standard relative to certain transactions (i.e. the following practical expedients):


•	We have not disclosed the remaining transaction price for reporting periods prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2019.


•	For completed contracts that have variable consideration, we will use the as-invoiced amount for all of our time and materials contracts and contracts relating to Digi Remote Manager^® in instances where the contracts do not include free service.


•	We will expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.

Adoption of the standards related to revenue recognition had no impact to total cash provided by or used in operating, financing or investing on our historical Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which clarifies the accounting for implementation costs in cloud computing arrangements. ASU 2018-15 is effective for us in the first quarter ending December 31, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating when to adopt, and the impact of the adopting, ASU 2018-15 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework (Topic 820). The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective for us in the first quarter ending December 31, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosures. We are evaluating when to adopt and the impact of adopting, ASU 2018-13 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities that are held at a premium. The amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which would be amortized to maturity. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter ending December 31, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for us in the first quarter ending December 31, 2020. Entities may early adopt beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which amends the existing guidance and requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with a term longer than 12 months that are classified as operating leases under previous authoritative guidance. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustment for certain items. In July 2018, FASB issued two additional amendments that affect this guidance described in the following updates ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The amendments in ASU 2018-10 affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. The amendments in ASU 2018-11 provide an alternative (and optional) transition method that allows entities to apply the transition provisions in ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us, using the modified retrospective approach, the first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. As noted above, ASU 2018-11 provides for an additional and optional transition method. We plan to apply the optional transition method at the adoption date and are evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Accelerated Concepts, Inc.

On January 22, 2018, we purchased all the outstanding stock of Accelerated Concepts, Inc. (“Accelerated”), a Tampa-based provider of secure, enterprise-grade, cellular (LTE) networking equipment for primary and backup connectivity applications. This acquisition is included within our IoT Products and Services segment.

The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $16.4 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.2 million) was paid at the time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid in two installments and the payment amount, if any, will be calculated based on the revenue performance of Accelerated products. The first installment will be based on revenues from January 22, 2018 through January 21, 2019 (the “2018 period”) and the second installment will be based on revenues from January 22, 2019 through January 21, 2020 (the “2019 period”). If certain revenue thresholds are met, the cumulative amount of these earn-outs will be $4.5 million. Additional payments, not to exceed $2.0 million for both installments, may also be due depending on revenue performance. The fair value of this contingent consideration was $2.3 million at the date of acquisition and $4.7 million at December 31, 2018 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). We have determined that the fair value of the earn-out on the acquisition date will be considered as part of the purchase price consideration as there are no continuing employment requirements associated with the earn-out.

The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $5.7 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition was treated as a stock acquisition. The goodwill therefore was not deductible. We believe this was a complementary acquisition for us as it significantly enhanced our existing cellular product lines and immediately extended our market reach with a line of commercial routers and network appliance products. This acquisition further enhanced and expanded the capabilities of the IoT Products and Services segment (see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Operating results for Accelerated after January 22, 2018 are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The net working capital values were finalized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

Acquisition of TempAlert LLC

On October 20, 2017, we purchased all the outstanding interests of TempAlert LLC (“TempAlert”), a Boston-based provider of automated, real-time temperature monitoring and task management solutions. The purchase price was $45.0 million in cash

2. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

adjusted for certain net working capital adjustments. We believe this was a complementary acquisition for us as the acquired technology will continue to be supported to further enhance and expand the capabilities of the IoT Solutions segment (see Note 10 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The terms of the acquisition included an upfront cash payment together with future earn-out payments. Cash of $40.7 million (excluding cash acquired of $0.6 million) was paid at the time of closing. The earn-out payments are scheduled to be paid after December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 which is the end of the earn-out periods. The cumulative amount of these earn-outs for the periods ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, will not exceed $35.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively. The fair value of this contingent consideration was zero at the date of acquisition and at December 31, 2018 (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The purchase price was allocated to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $17.6 million of goodwill. For tax purposes, this acquisition was treated as an asset acquisition, therefore the goodwill was deductible. We believe that the acquisition resulted in the recognition of goodwill because this was a complementary acquisition for us and provided a source of recurring revenue in a new vertically focused solutions business.

Operating results for TempAlert after October 20, 2017 are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 reflects the final allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

3. SALE OF BUSINESS

On October 23, 2015, we sold all the outstanding stock of our wholly owned subsidiary, Etherios Inc. (“Etherios”) to West Monroe Partners, LLC. We sold Etherios as part of a strategy to focus on providing highly reliable machine connectivity solutions for business and mission-critical application environments. Etherios was included in our single operating segment prior to fiscal 2017. The terms of the sale agreement provided that West Monroe Partners, LLC would pay us $3.0 million on October 23, 2016 and $2.0 million on October 23, 2017. The present value of these amounts was included within the total fair value of consideration received. These receivable amounts were unsecured and non-interest bearing. We received $3.0 million in October 2016 and $2.0 million in October 2017.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares result from dilutive common stock options and restricted stock units. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares. All potentially dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculations of net loss per diluted share due to their anti-dilutive effect for the three month period ended December 31, 2017.

The following table is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators in the net income (loss) per common share calculations (in thousands, except per common share data):

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 1,241,964 and 1,998,740 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, related to stock options to purchase common shares that were not included in the above computation of diluted earnings per common share since the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares. In addition, due to the net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2017, there were 331,021 common stock options and restricted stock units, respectively, that were not included in the above computation of diluted earnings per share.

6. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Our marketable securities may consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and government municipal bonds. We analyze our available-for-sale marketable securities for impairment on an ongoing basis. When we perform this analysis, we consider factors such as the length of time and extent to which the securities have been in an unrealized loss position and the trend of any unrealized losses. We also consider whether an unrealized loss is a temporary loss or an other-than-temporary loss based on factors such as: (a) whether we have the intent to sell the security, (b) whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, or (c) permanent impairment due to bankruptcy or insolvency.

In order to estimate the fair value for each security in our investment portfolio, we obtain quoted market prices and trading activity for each security where available. We obtain relevant information from our investment advisor and, if warranted, also may review the financial solvency of certain security issuers. As of December 31, 2018, all of our securities that we held were trading below our amortized cost basis. We determined each decline in value to be temporary based upon the above described factors. We expect to realize the fair value of these securities, plus accrued interest, either at the time of maturity or when the security is sold. All of our current holdings are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities and are recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet with the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). All of our current marketable securities will mature in less than one year. Our balance sheet classification of available for sale securities is based on our best estimate of when we expect to liquidate such investments and, presently, is consistent with the stated maturity dates of such investments. However, we are not committed to holding these investments until their maturity and may determine to liquidate some or all of these investments earlier based on our liquidity and other needs. During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we received proceeds from our available-for-sale marketable securities of $0.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2018 our marketable securities were (in thousands):



	Amortized Cost (1)		Unrealized Gains		Unrealized Losses			Fair Value (1)
Current marketable securities:
Certificates of deposit	$	4,262	$	—	$	(15	)	$	4,247
Total marketable securities	$	4,262	$	—	$	(15	)	$	4,247

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. This standard also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value. This standard maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability based upon the best information available in the circumstances.

The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 may also include certain investment securities for which there is limited market activity or a decrease in the observability of market pricing for the investments, such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Fair value is applied to financial assets such as our marketable securities, which are classified and accounted for as available-for-sale and to financial liabilities for contingent consideration. These items are stated at fair value at each reporting period using the above guidance. The following tables provide information by level for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):



	Total Fair Value at		Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)

Our money market funds, which have been determined to be cash equivalents, are measured at fair value using quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and are therefore classified as Level 1 assets. We value our Level 2 assets using inputs that are based on market indices of similar assets within an active market. There were no transfers into or out of our Level 2 financial assets during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

The use of different assumptions, applying different judgment to matters that inherently are subjective and changes in future market conditions could result in different estimates of fair value of our securities or contingent consideration, currently and in the future. If market conditions deteriorate, we may incur impairment charges for securities in our investment portfolio. We may also incur changes to our contingent consideration liability as discussed below.

We are required to make contingent payments for our acquisitions. In connection with the October 2015 acquisition of Bluenica Corporation (“Bluenica”), we are required to make contingent payments over a period of up to four years, subject to achieving specified revenue thresholds for sales of Bluenica products. The fair value of the liability for contingent payments recognized upon acquisition was $10.4 million and was $5.5 million at December 31, 2018. No payments were made during the first quarters of fiscal 2019 or 2018.

In connection with the November 2016 acquisition of FreshTemp, LLC (“FreshTemp”), we were required to make a contingent payment after June 30, 2018, for revenue related to specific customer contracts signed by June 30, 2017. The fair value of the liability recognized upon acquisition was $1.3 million. We paid $0.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In connection with the October 2017 acquisition of TempAlert LLC (“TempAlert”), we are required to make contingent payments for the twelve month periods ending December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 based on the total Digi IoT Solutions segment revenue. The fair value of the liability for contingent payments recognized upon acquisition of TempAlert and at December 31, 2018 was zero.

In connection with the January 2018 acquisition of Accelerated, we are required to make contingent payments for the twelve month periods ending January 21, 2019 and January 21, 2020, based upon certain thresholds. The fair values of the liability for contingent payments recognized upon acquisition of Accelerated and at December 31, 2018 was $2.3 million and was $4.7 million, respectively. The increase is a result of Accelerated outperforming initial revenue expectations.

The fair value of these contingent payments was estimated by discounting to present value the probability-weighted contingent payments expected to be made. Assumptions used in these calculations include the discount rate and various probability factors. This liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial liability that is re-measured each reporting period as a charge or credit to general and administrative expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the contingent consideration liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands):



	Three months ended December 31,
	2018			2017
Fair value at beginning of period	$	10,065		$	6,388
Contingent consideration payments	(161		)	—
Change in fair value of contingent consideration	243			(407		)
Fair value at end of period	$	10,147		$	5,981

The change in fair value of contingent consideration relates to the acquisitions of Bluenica, FreshTemp and Accelerated and is included in general and administrative expense. The change in fair value of contingent consideration reflects our estimate of the probability of achieving the relevant targets and is discounted based on our estimated discount rate. We have estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration based on the probability of achieving the specified revenue thresholds at a range of 98.6% to 100.0% for Bluenica, 0% for TempAlert, and a range of 44.4% to 100.0% for Accelerated. A significant change in our estimates of achieving the relevant targets could materially change the fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of June 30, or more frequently if events or circumstances occur which could indicate impairment. The calculation of goodwill impairment requires us to make assumptions about the fair value of our reporting unit(s), which historically has been approximated by using our market capitalization plus a control premium for our reporting unit(s). Control premium assumptions require judgment and actual results may differ from assumed or estimated amounts.

As we have two reportable operating segments, we concluded that the IoT Solutions segment and the IoT Products & Services segment each constitute a separate reporting unit for purposes of the ASC 350-20-35 “Goodwill Measurement of Impairment” assessment. As such, both units were tested individually for impairment.

Our test for potential goodwill impairment is a two-step approach. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If we determine based on this assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting units is less than its carrying amount, we perform the goodwill impairment test. This test requires us to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount, including goodwill, of such reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no impairment loss is recognized. However, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of the reporting units is impaired and an impairment loss would be recognized.

8. GOODWILL AND OTHER IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET (CONTINUED)

At June 30, 2018, we had a total of $104.6 million of goodwill on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the IoT Products & Services reporting unit and the implied fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 36%. At June 30, 2018, we had a total of $50.0 million of goodwill on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for the IoT Solutions reporting unit and the implied fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 7%. Based on that data, we concluded that no impairment was indicated for either reporting unit. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we assessed various qualitative factors to determine whether or not an additional goodwill impairment assessment was required as of December 31, 2018. We concluded that no additional impairment assessment was required.

Implied fair values for both reporting units were each calculated on a standalone basis using a weighted combination of the income approach and market approach.

The income approach indicates the fair value of a business based on the value of the cash flows the business or asset can be expected to generate in the future. A commonly used variation of the income approach used to value a business is the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. The DCF method is a valuation technique in which the value of a business is estimated on the earnings capacity, or available cash flow, of that business. Earnings capacity represents the earnings available for distribution to stockholders after consideration of the reinvestment required for future growth. Significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows for each reporting unit and the relative risk of achieving those cash flows.

The market approach indicates the fair value of a business or asset based on a comparison of the business or asset to comparable publicly traded companies or assets and transactions in its industry as well as prior company or asset transactions. This approach can be estimated through the guideline company method. This method indicates fair value of a business by comparing it to publicly traded companies in similar lines of business. After identifying and selecting the guideline companies, we make judgments about the comparability of the companies based on size, growth rates, profitability, risk, and return on investment in order to estimate market multiples. These multiples are then applied to the reporting units to estimate a fair value.

The implied fair values of each reporting unit were added together to get an indicated value of total equity to which a range of indicated value of total equity was derived. This range was compared to the total market capitalization of $359.6 million as of June 30, 2018, which implied a range of control premiums of 5.7% to 16.4%. This range of control premiums fell below the control premiums observed in the last five years in the communications equipment industry. As a result, the market capitalization reconciliation analysis proved support for the reasonableness of the fair values estimated for each individual reporting unit.

Should the facts and circumstances surrounding our assumptions change, the first step of our goodwill impairment analysis may fail. Assumptions and estimates to determine fair values are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts. For example, if our future operating results do not meet current forecasts or if we experience a sustained decline in our market capitalization that is determined to be indicative of a reduction in fair value of one or more of our reporting units, we may be required to record future impairment charges for goodwill. An impairment could have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. We have had no goodwill impairment losses since the adoption of ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Others, in fiscal 2003.

9. SALE OF BUILDING

On October 2, 2018, we sold our 130,000 square feet corporate headquarters building in Minnetonka, Minnesota to Minnetonka Leased Housing Associates II, LLLP. The sales price was $10.0 million in cash adjusted for certain selling costs and an escrow for the leaseback of the building for four months. At September 30, 2018 the net book value of the land, building and improvements was $5.2 million and listed as assets held for sale on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result, we recorded a $1.1 million tax benefit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 because we were able to use credit loss carryforwards which previously had a valuation allowance. We recorded a gain of $4.4 million ($3.4 million net of tax) in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, which is recorded in general and administrative expense.

During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we paid $1.2 million for leasehold improvements to build out our new headquarters space. These improvements will be depreciated over 13 years, which is the length of the lease.

Our IoT Solutions segment offers wireless temperature and other condition-based monitoring services as well as employee task management services. These solutions are focused on three primary vertical markets: healthcare (including retail pharmacies, hospitals and other medical facilities), food service and transportation/logistics. These solutions are marketed as SmartSense by Digi^™. We have formed, expanded and enhanced the IoT Solutions segment through four acquisitions. These include: the October 2015 acquisition of Bluenica Corporation ("Bluenica"), the November 2016 acquisition of FreshTemp^®, LLC ("FreshTemp^®"), the January 2017 acquisition of SMART Temps^®, LLC ("SMART Temps^®") and the October 2017 acquisition of TempAlert, LLC ("TempAlert").

We measure our segment results primarily by reference to revenue and operating income. IoT Solutions revenue includes both product and service revenue. Certain costs incurred at the corporate level are allocated to our segments. These costs include information technology, employee benefits and shared facility services. The information technology and shared facility costs are allocated based on headcount and the employee benefits costs are allocated based on compensation costs.

Contract Balances

In certain contracts with our customers we charge an implementation fee to the customer so they can begin using the equipment and retain ownership of the equipment the customer uses. We amortize this cost of the equipment over its useful life (typically three years).

We also incur costs for commissions paid to sales personnel or agents on service contracts. If the commissions earned during an accounting period exceed our capitalization threshold, they will be amortized over the calculated average expected life of the pool of contracts closed during that period. We have elected the practical expedient to not capitalize these commissions for contracts with terms of one year or less.

Contract assets were $2.1 million and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for these contract assets was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and minimal for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Contract assets are typically amortized over a three year period.

Unearned Revenue

Unearned revenue is comprised mainly of unearned revenue related to annual or multi-year contracts for subscription services and related implementation fees for our IoT Solutions segment and our Digi Remote Manager^® services in our IoT Products & Services segment.

Changes in unearned revenue were as follows:

Remaining Transaction Price

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents contracted revenue that has not been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and unbilled amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. As of December 31, 2018 approximately $7.6 million of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for subscriptions contracts. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately $3.2 million of remaining

Table of Contents

11. REVENUE (CONTINUED)

performance obligations over the next twelve months. Revenue from the remaining performance obligations we expect to recognize revenue over a range of two to five years.

12. INCOME TAXES

Our income tax provision was $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Included in this provision was a net tax benefit discretely related to the three months ended December 31, 2018 of $0.1 million, primarily a result of expiring statute of limitations of uncertain tax benefits as well as excess tax benefits recognized on stock compensation. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, our effective tax rate before items discretely related to the period was less than the U.S. statutory rate due primarily to certain income tax credits generated in the U.S.

In comparison, the income tax provision was $2.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Included in this provision was a net tax expense discretely related to the three months ended December 31, 2017 of $2.8 million, primarily as a result of new U.S. tax legislation that was enacted during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, our effective tax rate before items discretely related to the period was less than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the mix of income between taxing jurisdictions, certain of which had lower statutory tax rates than the U.S., and certain tax credits generated in the U.S.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was enacted in the U.S. on December 22, 2017. The Act lowered the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as of January 1, 2018 and required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that previously were tax deferred. We applied the guidance in SAB 118 when accounting for the enactment-date income tax effects of the Act in fiscal 2018. At September 30, 2018, we had not fully completed our accounting for the enactment effects of the Act. We, however, had recorded a provisional estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. The provisional tax expense recorded in fiscal 2018 was $3.0 million. At December 31, 2018, we had completed our accounting for the enactment-date income tax effects of the Act. In fiscal 2019, there have been no significant adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded in fiscal 2018. In addition, certain provisions of the Act became effective for us in fiscal 2019. The estimated tax impacts of these provisions are included in out effective tax rate for the current period.

Our effective tax rate will vary based on a variety of factors, including overall profitability, the geographical mix of income before taxes and related statutory tax rate in each jurisdiction, and tax items discretely related to the period, such as settlements of audits. We expect that we may record other benefits or expenses in the future that are specific to a particular quarter such as expiration of statutes of limitation, the completion of tax audits, or legislation that is enacted for both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is (in thousands):



Unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2018	$	1,561
Decreases related to:
Expiration of statute of limitations	(56		)
Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018	$	1,505

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate is $1.4 million, after considering the impact of interest and deferred benefit items. We expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $0.1 million over the next 12 months.

13. PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATION

In general, we warrant our products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty periods generally range from one to five years. We typically have the option to either repair or replace products we deem defective with regard to material or workmanship. Estimated warranty costs are accrued in the period that the related revenue is recognized based upon an estimated average per unit repair or replacement cost applied to the estimated number of units under warranty. These estimates are based upon historical warranty incidents and are evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure the adequacy of the warranty accrual.

13. PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATION (CONTINUED)

The following table summarizes the activity associated with the product warranty accrual (in thousands) and is included on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within current liabilities:

Three months ended December 31, 2017	$	987	$	354	$	(177	)	$	1,164

We also warrant our software or firmware incorporated into our products and offer to provide a bug fix or software patch within a reasonable period. We have not accrued specifically for this warranty and have not had claims specifically related to the software. We are not responsible for, and do not warrant that, custom software versions, created by original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers based upon our software source code, will function in a particular way, will conform to any specifications or are fit for any particular purpose. Further, we do not indemnify these customers from any third-party liability as it relates to or arises from any customization or modifications made by the OEM customer.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

In October 2018, we signed a thirteen-year lease agreement with minimum lease obligations of $14.8 million with Colfin Midwest NNN Investor, LLC for 59,497 square feet of office space. This is now our new headquarters location in Hopkins, Minnesota, which is approximately three miles from our previous headquarters.

Contingencies

In November 2018, DimOnOff Inc., a company headquartered in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada which sells control systems in the building automation and street lighting markets sued us and a former distributor from whom DimOnOff purchased certain of our products. The suit was brought in the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec in the District of Quebec (Canada) and alleges certain Digi products it purchased and incorporated into street lighting systems in a Canadian city were defective causing some of the street lights to malfunction. It alleges damages in of just over C$1.0 million. We intend to defend ourselves against DimOnOff’s claims. At this time we cannot assess the likelihood or amount of any potential loss.

In addition to the matter discussed above, in the normal course of business, we are subject to various claims and litigation. There can be no assurance that any claims by third parties, if proven to have merit, will not materially adversely affect our business, liquidity or financial condition.

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based awards were granted under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) beginning January 29, 2018 and, prior to that, were granted under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). Upon stockholder approval of the 2018 Plan, we ceased granting awards under any prior plan. Shares subject to awards under prior plans that are forfeited, canceled, returned to the Company for failure to satisfy vesting requirements, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without payment also will be available for grant under the 2018 Plan. The authority to grant options under the 2018 Plan and to set other terms and conditions rests with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

The 2018 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,500,000 common shares in connection with awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based full value awards or other stock-based awards. Eligible participants include our employees, our affiliates, non-employee directors of our Company and any consultant or advisor who is a natural person and provides services to us or our affiliates. Options that have been granted under the 2018 Plan typically vest over a four-year period and will expire if unexercised after seven years from the date of grant. Restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) that have been granted to directors typically vest in one year. RSUs that have been granted to executives and employees typically vest in January over a four-year period. Awards may be granted under the 2018 Plan until January 28, 2028. Options under the 2018 Plan can be granted as either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”). The exercise price of options and the grant date price of restricted stock units shall be determined by our Compensation Committee but shall not be less than the fair market value of our common stock based on the closing price on

the date of grant. Upon exercise, we issue new shares of stock. As of December 31, 2018, there were approximately 297,885 shares available for future grants under the 2018 Plan.

Our equity plans and corresponding forms of award agreements generally have provisions allowing employees to elect to satisfy tax withholding obligations through the delivery of shares, having us retain a portion of shares issuable under the award or paying cash to us for the withholding. During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our employees forfeited 83,988 shares and 64,276 shares, respectively in order to satisfy $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively of withholding tax obligations related to stock-based compensation, pursuant to terms of awards under our board and shareholder-approved compensation plans for each respective period.

Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $0.7 million and $3.0 million during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We sponsor an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), covering all domestic employees with at least 90 days of continuous service and who are customarily employed at least 20 hours per week. The Purchase Plan allows eligible participants the right to purchase common stock on a quarterly basis at the lower of 85% of the market price at the beginning or end of each three-month offering period. Employee contributions to the Purchase Plan were $0.3 million and $0.4 million during both three month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Pursuant to the Purchase Plan, 33,706 and 45,718 common shares were issued to employees during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Shares are issued under the Purchase Plan from treasury stock. As of December 31, 2018, 281,870 common shares were available for future issuances under the Purchase Plan.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes our stock option activity (in thousands, except per common share amounts):



	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercised Price	Weighted Average Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)
Balance at September 30, 2018	3,526		$10.49
Granted	585		11.60
Exercised	(79	)	8.39
Forfeited / Canceled	(39	)	11.54
Balance at December 31, 2018	3,993		$10.69	4.5	$	1,756

Exercisable at December 31, 2018	2,428		$10.12	3.4	$	1,696

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on our closing stock price of $10.09 as of December 31, 2018, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. The intrinsic value of an option is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds its exercise price.

Table of Contents

15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

The total intrinsic value of all options exercised during the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $0.3 million and during the three months ended December 31, 2017 was $0.4 million.

The table below shows the weighted average fair value, which was determined based upon the fair value of each option on the grant date utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the related assumptions:



	Three months ended December 31,
	2018	2017
Weighted average per option grant date fair value	$4.36	$3.71
Assumptions used for option grants:
Risk free interest rate	2.78% - 2.93%	2.12% - 2.18%
Expected term	6.00 years	6.00 years
Expected volatility	33%	33% - 34%
Weighted average volatility	33%	33%
Expected dividend yield	0	0

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination information within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the vesting period and historical information and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate used is the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of the grant whose maturity equals the expected term of the option.

As of December 31, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $6.4 million and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 3.1 years.

Non-vested Restricted Stock Units

A summary of our non-vested restricted stock units as of December 31, 2018 and changes during the three months then ended is presented below (in thousands, except per common share amounts):



	Number of Awards		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at September 30, 2018	674		$	11.05
Granted	480		$	11.40
Vested	(185	)	$	10.50
Canceled	(10	)	$	11.27
Nonvested at December 31, 2018	959		$	11.33

As of December 31, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units was $9.9 million, and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 2.0 years.

Manufacturing Transition

As announced on April 3, 2018, we transferred the manufacturing functions of our Eden Prairie, Minnesota operations facility to existing contract manufacture suppliers. As a result, approximately 53 employment positions were eliminated, resulting in restructuring charges of approximately $0.5 million related to employee costs during the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2018. The payments associated with these charges are expected to be completed by the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This manufacturing transition is expected to result in total annualized savings of between $3.0 million to $5.0 million.

2017 Restructuring

In May 2017, we approved a restructuring plan primarily impacting our France location, which is now closed. We also eliminated certain employee costs in the U.S. The restructuring was the result of a decision to consolidate our France operations to our Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) headquarters in Munich. The total restructuring charges amounted to $2.5 million that included $2.3 million of employee costs and $0.2 million of contract termination costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. These actions resulted in an elimination of 10 positions in the U.S. and 8 positions in France. The payments associated with these charges are expected to be completed by the first half of fiscal 2019.

17. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE

On April 24, 2018 our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our common stock primarily to return capital to shareholders. This repurchase authorization is scheduled to expire on May 1, 2019. There were no shares repurchased under this program as of December 31, 2018.

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

Our management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, as well as our subsequent reports on Form 8-K and any amendments thereto.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

The words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “should,” or “will” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or similar terminology, which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, identify forward-looking statements. Among other items, these statements relate to expectations of the business environment in which we operate, estimated future values and projections of future performance, perceived marketplace opportunities and statements regarding our mission and vision. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks related to the highly

competitive market in which our company operates, rapid changes in technologies that may displace products sold by us, declining prices of networking products, our reliance on distributors and other third parties to sell our products, delays in product development efforts, uncertainty in user acceptance of our products, the ability to integrate our products and services with those of other parties in a commercially accepted manner, potential liabilities that can arise if any of our products have design or manufacturing defects, our ability to defend or settle satisfactorily any litigation, uncertainty in global economic conditions and economic conditions within particular regions of the world which could negatively affect product demand and the financial solvency of customers and suppliers, the impact of natural disasters and other events beyond our control that could negatively impact our supply chain and customers, potential unintended consequences associated with restructuring or other similar business initiatives that may impact our operations and our ability to retain important employees, the ability to achieve the anticipated benefits and synergies associated with acquisitions or divestitures, and changes in our level of revenue or profitability, which can fluctuate for many reasons beyond our control. These and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018, and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other filings, could cause the company’s future results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Many of such factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date for which they are made. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This report includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. We understand that there are material limitations on the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures are not substitutes for GAAP measures, such as net (loss) income, for the purpose of analyzing financial performance. The disclosure of these measures does not reflect all charges and gains that were actually recognized by the company. Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with, or as an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies or presented by us in prior reports. In addition, non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, the cash requirements for the replacement of depreciated and amortized assets, or changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue is useful because it provides a reliable and consistent approach to measuring our performance from year to year and in assessing our performance against that of other companies. We believe this information helps compare operating results and corporate performance exclusive of the impact of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the values of purchased assets and assumed liabilities in acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

A description of our critical accounting policies and estimates was provided in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2018. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in that report, except for the revenue recognition policy updated below.

Hardware Product Revenue and SmartSense by Digi^™ Equipment Revenue and Associated Installation Fees

Our hardware product revenue is derived primarily from the sale of wired and wireless hardware products to our distributors and Direct/Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) customers. Product revenue generally is recognized upon shipment of product to customers. Sales to authorized domestic distributors and Direct/OEM customers are made with certain rights of return and price adjustment provisions. Estimated reserves for future returns and pricing adjustments are established by us based on an analysis of historical patterns of returns and price adjustments as well as an analysis of authorized returns compared to received returns and distribution sales for the current period. Estimated reserves for future returns and price adjustments are charged against revenue in the same period as the corresponding sales are recorded. Material differences between the historical trends used to determine estimated reserves and actual returns and pricing adjustments could result in a material change to our consolidated results of operations or financial position. We have applied consistent methodologies for estimating reserves for future returns and pricing adjustments for all periods presented.

Our IoT Products & Services segment consists primarily of distinct communications products and also includes communication product development services. Among other things, these products and services help our customers create next-generation connected products and deploy and manage critical communications infrastructures in demanding environments with high levels of security and reliability. This segment creates secure, easy-to-implement embedded solutions and services to help customers build IoT connectivity. It also deploys ready-to-use, complete box solutions to connect remote equipment. The IoT Products & Services segment also offers dedicated professional services for the design of specialized wireless communications products for customers. Finally, this segment offers managed cloud services that enable customers to capture and manage data from devices they connect to networks. Our IoT products and services are used by a wide range of businesses and institutions.

All of the revenue we report in our consolidated financial statements as product revenue is derived from products included in this segment. These products include our cellular products, radio frequency (“RF”) products, embedded and network products. Our cellular product category includes our cellular routers and all gateways. Our RF product category includes our XBee^® modules as well as other RF Solutions. Our Embedded product category includes Digi Connect^® and Rabbit^® embedded systems on module and single board computers. Our network product category, which has the highest concentration of mature products, includes console and serial servers and USB connected products. Revenues we report as services and solutions revenue in our consolidated financial statements from this segment include Digi Wireless Design Services, Digi Remote Manager^® and Digi Support Services we provide for our products.

Our IoT Solutions segment offers wireless temperature and other condition-based monitoring services as well as employee task management services. These solutions are focused on three primary vertical markets: healthcare (including retail pharmacies, hospitals and other medical facilities), food service and transportation/logistics. These solutions are marketed as SmartSense by Digi^™, formerly Digi Smart Solutions. We have formed, expanded and enhanced the IoT Solutions segment through four acquisitions. These include: the October 2015 acquisition of Bluenica, the November 2016 acquisition of FreshTemp^®, the January 2017 acquisition of SMART Temps^® and the October 2017 acquisition of TempAlert. All revenues from this segment are reported in our consolidated financial statements as services and solutions revenue as customers subscribe for ongoing monitoring services that are enabled by the deployment of hardware and related software.

For further detail on segment performance, see Segment Results of Operations section of the management discussion and analysis.

We compete for customers on the basis of existing and planned product features, service and software application capabilities, company reputation, brand recognition, technical support, alliance relationships, quality and reliability, product development capabilities, price and availability.

We utilize many financial, operational, and other metrics to evaluate our financial condition and financial performance. Below we highlight the metrics for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 that we feel are most important in these evaluations:

Total Revenue was $62.3 Million. Our revenue was $62.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to $45.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, an increase of $17.3 million, or 38.6%.

Product revenue increased by $12.3 million, or 32.1%. This included $5.2 million of incremental revenue related to the January 2018 acquisition of Accelerated.

Services and solutions revenue increased by $5.0 million, or 76.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the same period a year ago.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Gross Margin was 47.8%. Our gross margin decreased as a percentage of revenue to 47.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 as compared to 48.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Our gross margin decline was primarily a result of product and customer mix, increased amortization associated with the Accelerated acquisition partially offset from an increase in higher margin recurring revenue and lower costs associated with our manufacturing transition.

Net income for the first fiscal quarter of 2019 was $4.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. Net loss for the first fiscal quarter of 2018 was $4.5 million, or $0.17 loss per diluted share. Net income in the first fiscal quarter of 2019 includes a gain on the sale of our corporate headquarters of $4.4 million ($3.4 million, net of tax) or $0.12 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first fiscal quarter of 2019 was $6.2 Million, or 9.9% of total revenue. In the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2018, Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million, or 6.6% of total revenue.

REVENUE

Product

Product revenue increased by $12.3 million, or 32.1%, in the first fiscal quarter of 2019 compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2018. This increase included $5.2 million of incremental revenue from Accelerated, which we acquired in January 2018. We also experienced increased sales in our North America region for our industrial cellular products. We also incurred increased sales to significant customer for our RF products particularly our Digi XBee^® cellular products that has continued to receive design wins. In addition, USB connected products, Rabbit^® branded products and embedded modules had increased sales. This was offset partially by a decline in sales of terminal servers as we had sales to a significant customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

In general, we expect our network products, most of which are mature, to decline over time. Our product revenue is subject to large customer projects and deployments that can fluctuate from period to period.

Services and Solutions

Services and solutions revenue increased by $5.0 million, or 76.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. This primarily was driven by the growth of our SmartSense by Digi™ business of $4.9 million. The increase year over year is due to an existing customer expanding their equipment to include ambient sensors, additional customer deployments, and an increase in our recurring revenue base. We are serving just over 54,000 as of December 31, 2018, compared to just over 38,000 sites a year ago. Although a single transportation customer ended their relationship with this business, we continued to add new sites in multiple verticals and mitigated the transportation customer loss through new direct agreements with end customers. We believe this termination is an isolated event and does not represent a trend. We will continue to seek and evaluate acquisitions that will further enhance our IoT Solutions segment as we believe this marketplace offers a path to a significant base of recurring revenue that can provide both stable revenue generation and significant growth for us.

quarter. Further, one-time orders or replacement equipment from existing customers could cause there to be one-time increases in revenue that are not repeated in subsequent quarters.

Foreign Currency Impacts

Included in revenue performance for the year was a minimal decrease in foreign currency translation for three months ended December 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Revenue by Geographic Location

The following summarizes our revenue by geographic location of our customers:

*Prior period information has been restated for the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which we adopted on October 1, 2018.

Revenue in North America increased by $17.0 million, or 57.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago included incremental revenue of $5.2 million from the January 2018 acquisition of Accelerated. In addition, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago, our SmartSense by Digi™ revenue increased $4.9 million. RF products also experienced increased revenue as we had a large customer deployment of our Digi XBee^® cellular in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In addition, we had an increase in large project-based sales of cellular products and increased sales of embedded products. We expect North America revenue to increase as a percentage of total revenue as our SmartSense by Digi™ and Accelerated products and services primarily are sold in North America.

Revenue in EMEA remained generally flat compared to the same period a year ago.

Revenue in Asia increased by $0.6 million, or 12.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. We experienced increased sales of embedded modules and RF products in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the same period a year ago.

Revenue in Latin America decreased by $0.1 million, or 15.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago.

No significant changes were made to our pricing strategy that impacted revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. As foreign currency rates fluctuate, we may from time to time adjust the prices of our products, services and solutions.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $29.8 million and $22.0 million, respectively. This was an increase of $7.8 million, or 35.6%.

Product gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $25.0 million, or 49.2%, and $19.2 million, or 50.0%, respectively. This was an increase of $5.8 million, or 29.9%. The increase included incremental gross profit of $2.3 million for the January 2018 acquisition of Accelerated, increase sales from most of our products and lower costs associated with our manufacturing transition. For the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago, gross margin declined primarily as a result of product and customer mix, increased amortization expense related to the Accelerated acquisition, partially offset by lower costs associated with our manufacturing transition.

Services and solutions gross profit, across both segments, was $5.5 million, or 48.0%, and $3.3 million, or 51.1%, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This represents an increase in gross profit of $2.2 million, or 66.3%.

Table of Contents

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

The increase in gross profit primarily was driven by our SmartSense by Digi^™ business due to increases in recurring revenue and product and customer mix. As recurring revenue increases and becomes a greater percentage of total revenue, we expect gross margins to increase over time. This was offset partially by a decline in gross profit for Digi Wireless Design services as our wireless product design and development service margins are highly dependent on the utilization rates of our personnel. Gross margins declined overall in the three months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to Digi Wireless Design services.

Gross profit was impacted negatively by amortization of $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This increase in amortization expense is related primarily to the January 2018 acquisition of Accelerated.

OPERATING EXPENSES

The following summarizes our total operating expenses in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue:



	Three months ended December 31,									$ incr.

*Prior period information has been restated for the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which we adopted on October 1, 2018.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This included incremental expenses for Accelerated of $1.1 million. The remainder of the increase related primarily to an increase in employee-related expenses.

Research and development expenses increased $1.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase includes incremental expenses related to the acquisition of Accelerated of $0.8 million. The remainder of the increase primarily was related to variable compensation-related expenses of $0.7 million.

General and administrative expenses decreased $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease primarily is related to $4.4 million gain recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 for the sale of our corporate headquarters. In addition, we had a decrease in professional fees of $1.3 million primarily related to higher acquisition costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This was offset partially by an increase in incremental expenses for Accelerated of $0.9 million, increased compensation-related expenses of $0.7 million, acquisition earn-out expenses of $0.6 million and depreciation expenses of $0.2 million related to acceleration of depreciation for assets that will be disposed of as part of the move of our corporate headquarters.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Other income, net remained flat for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago.

INCOME TAXES

Revenue

Revenue from our IoT Solutions segment increased $4.9 million, or 121.3%, for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This primarily was driven by the growth of our SmartSense by Digi™ business. The increase is due to an existing customer expanding their equipment to include ambient sensors, additional customer deployments, and an increase in our recurring revenue base. We are serving just over 54,000 as of December 31, 2018, compared to just over 38,000 sites a year ago. Although a single transportation customer ended their relationship with this business, we continued to add new sites in multiple verticals and mitigated the transportation customer loss through new direct agreements with end customers. We believe this termination is an isolated event and does not represent a trend. We will continue to seek and evaluate acquisitions that will further enhance our IoT Solutions segment as we believe this marketplace offers a path to a significant base of recurring revenue that can provide both stable revenue generation and significant growth for us.

We expect our Solutions revenue to increase over time. The growth rate in revenue may be subject to fluctuations from period to period as large-scale deployments to specific customers may take place in certain time frames and may not occur in every quarter. Further, one-time orders or replacement equipment from existing customers could cause there to be one-time increases in revenue that are not repeated in subsequent quarters.

Operating Loss

Operating loss decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease in operating loss was due to an increase in gross profit of $2.7 million, or 158.0%, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $1.3 million, or 25.8%. We expect our IoT Solutions gross margin to increase in future periods as recurring revenue from this segment increases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have financed our operations and capital expenditures principally with funds generated from operations. In addition, we received $10.0 million of proceeds related to the sale of our corporate headquarters during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. At December 31, 2018, cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities were $76.5 million compared to $62.8 million at September 30, 2018. Our working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities) was $132.9 million at December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2018, our working capital was $126.5 million. The increase in cash and working capital is directly related to the $10.0 million proceeds for the sale of our corporate headquarters. This increase was offset partially by purchases

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

of property, equipment and improvements related to the build out of the new leased space for our corporate headquarters and cash expensed for our annual incentive compensation.

We presently anticipate total fiscal 2019 capital expenditures will be approximately $7.8 million, and we have spent $1.8 million as of December 31, 2018.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 million compared to net cash used by operating activities of $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a net increase in cash of $7.4 million. This increase was a result of net income of $4.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2019 compared to a net loss of $4.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2018, resulting in a net increase of $9.2 million. We also had an increase related to changes in working capital of $1.9 million, depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million, earn-out expenses of $0.7 million and additional stock compensation of $0.4 million. This was offset partially by the gain on the sale of the corporate headquarters of $4.4 million and a decrease in deferred income tax provision of $1.7 million related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

The changes in working capital that resulted in an increase in cash of $1.9 million were driven by increases of $2.6 million related to accrued liabilities, $2.3 million related to accounts payable, $1.4 million related to prepaids and other assets, and $0.6 million related to accounts receivable as we collected on certain large customer sales. This was offset partially by a $4.9 million decrease related to increase inventory purchases in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $8.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and net cash used by investing activities was $34.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017. This resulted in a net increase of $43.0 million. This increase is related primarily to $40.1 million (net of cash acquired of $0.6 million) that was spent for the TempAlert acquisition in fiscal 2018 and $10.0 million of proceeds from the sale of our corporate headquarters in fiscal 2019. This was offset by decreases in cash due to $3.7 million in fewer proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, $2.0 million in proceeds from the sale of Etherios received in fiscal 2018 and an additional $1.3 million in purchases of property, equipment, and improvements.

Net cash used by financing activities was $0.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $2.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017, a net decrease of $2.9 million. This decrease is a result of $2.7 million in fewer proceeds from employee stock plans and a $0.2 million earn-out payment to the former shareholders of FreshTemp in the first three months of fiscal 2019. In addition, we had additional proceeds from employee stock plans of $0.5 million and fewer expenditures of common stock of $0.2 million.

We generally expect positive cash flows from operations and believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities balances, cash generated from operations and our ability to secure debt and/or equity financing will be sufficient to fund our business operations, possible acquisitions and capital expenditures for the next twelve months and beyond.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

INTEREST RATE RISK

Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our investment portfolio. Our marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Our investments consist of money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and government municipal bonds. Our investment policy specifies the types of eligible investments and minimum credit quality of our investments, as well as diversification and concentration limits which mitigate our risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate risk because the majority of our investments mature in less than one year.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

We are exposed to foreign currency transaction risk associated with certain sales transactions being denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Japanese Yen or Canadian Dollars and in certain cases, transactions in U.S. Dollars in our foreign entities. We are also exposed to foreign currency translation risk as the financial position and operating results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars for consolidation. We manage our net asset or net liability position for non-functional currency accounts, primarily the U.S. Dollar accounts in our foreign locations to reduce our foreign currency risk. In addition, as foreign currency rates fluctuate, we may from time to time, adjust the prices of our products, services and solutions. We have not implemented a formal hedging strategy.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had approximately $16.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively, of revenue from foreign customers including export sales. Of these sales, $1.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, were denominated in foreign currency, predominantly Euros, British Pounds and Canadian Dollar. In future periods, we expect a significant portion of sales will continue to be made in both Euros, British Pounds and Canadian Dollar.

Total revenue was unfavorably impacted by foreign currency translation minimally for three months ended December 31, 2018, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.

The table below compares the average monthly exchange rates of the Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar:

Canadian Dollar	0.7335	0.7874	(6.8	)%

A 10% change from the first three months of fiscal 2019 average exchange rate for the Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar to the U.S. Dollar would have resulted in a 0.2% increase or decrease in revenue and a 1.5% increase or decrease in stockholders’ equity due to foreign currency translation. The above analysis does not take into consideration any pricing adjustments we might consider in response to changes in such exchange rates.

CREDIT RISK

We have some exposure to credit risk related to our accounts receivable portfolio. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through regular monitoring of customer financial status, credit limits and collaboration with sales management and customer contacts to facilitate payment.

Investments are made in accordance with our investment policy and may consist of money market funds, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and government municipal bonds. The fair value of our investments contains an element of credit exposure, which could change based on changes in market conditions. If market conditions deteriorate or if the issuers of these securities experience credit rating downgrades, we may incur impairment charges for securities in our investment portfolio. All of our securities are held domestically.
