NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The financial information for Viavi Solutions Inc. (“VIAVI” also referred to as “the Company”, “we”, “our” and “us”) for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 is unaudited, and includes all normal and recurring adjustments Company management considers necessary for a fair statement of the financial information set forth herein. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.

Other than updates to the Company’s revenue recognition policy under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as disclosed in “Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” and “Note 3. Revenue”, there have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies during the three months ended September 29, 2018, as compared to the significant accounting policies presented in “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended June 30, 2018 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 28, 2018.

The balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The results for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 may not be indicative of results for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2019 or any future periods.

Fiscal Years

The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th. The Company’s fiscal 2019 is a 52-week year ending on June 29, 2019. The Company’s fiscal 2018 was a 52-week year ending on June 30, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of net revenues and expenses and the disclosure of commitments and contingencies during the reporting periods. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and assumptions about future periods that are believed to be reasonable based on available information. The Company’s reported financial positions or results of operations may be materially different under changed conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to significant accounting policies. If estimates or assumptions differ from actual results, subsequent periods are adjusted to reflect readily available current information.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) that requires a statement of cash flows to present the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. In the three months ended September 29, 2018, we adopted this ASU using a retrospective transition method. Accordingly, our consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as presented herein, has been restated to comply with the new requirements. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition from contracts with customers, ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “revenue standard”). The new guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the new guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the new standard effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the retrospective transition method, which requires the Company to recast each prior period

presented consistent with the new guidance. Refer to “Note 3. Revenue” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of significant policies related to the new accounting standards. As part of the adoption, certain prior period amounts have been adjusted or reclassified within the consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents the impact of the revenue standard adoption to select line items of our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018, (in millions) as follows:

	June 30, 2018
	As Reported				Adjustment				As Adjusted
ASSETS
Accounts receivable, net	$	217.5			$	1.1			$	218.6
Prepayments and other assets	54.8				1.5				56.3
Deferred income taxes	114.5				(0.2		)		114.3
Other non-current assets	13.6				1.8				15.4
Total assets	$	2,022.6			$	4.2			$	2,026.8
LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Deferred revenue	71.9				(11.3		)		60.6
Accrued payroll and related expenses	51.4				1.4				52.8
Other current liabilities	77.0				1.9				78.9
Other non-current liabilities	182.8				(2.0		)		180.8
Total stockholders’ equity	720.7				14.2				734.9
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity	$	2,022.6			$	4.2			$	2,026.8

The primary impacts to the previously issued amounts are as follows:

Accounts receivable, net: Adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in an increase to accounts receivable, net primarily due to two items: 1) The return rights provision, which represents a liability for expected customer returns, was previously presented as a reduction to accounts receivable and is now presented in other current liabilities; and 2) Contract assets which are recorded when a conditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred in advance of the Company’s right to invoice. Upon adoption of ASC 606, contract assets, which were previously presented as a component of accounts receivable, net, are now presented as a component of prepayments and other current assets.

Prepayments and other current assets: As noted above, contract assets, which are recognized when a conditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred in advance of the Company’s right to invoice, were previously presented as a component of accounts receivable, net. Upon adoption of ASC 606, contract assets are presented as a component of prepayments and other current assets.

Other non-current assets: The costs of obtaining contracts where the amortization period for recognition of the expense is beyond a year are capitalized and recognized over the revenue recognition period of the original contract. These costs are now classified as other non-current assets.

Short-term and long-term deferred revenue: Adoption of the new revenue standard resulted in a decrease of deferred revenue primarily due to the net change in timing of software related revenue. Under the previous standard revenue for software license sales bundled with post-contract support and/or services where vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value had not been established was recognized ratably over the support period. Upon adoption of ASC 606 the revenue related to such software license sales will now be recognized when control transfers, which is usually at the time of billing. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under the standard will depend on contract-specific terms and, in some instances, transfer of control and revenue recognition may differ from the time of billing. Long-term deferred revenue is presented under other non-current liabilities.

Other current liabilities: The returns provision, which represents a liability for expected customer returns, was previously presented as a reduction of accounts receivable and is now presented as other current liabilities.

Adoption of the revenue standard had no impact on net cash provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities as presented on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table presents the impact of the revenue standard adoption to select line items of our previously reported Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 (in millions, except per share data) as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2017
	As Reported				Adjustment				As Adjusted
Revenues:
Product revenue	$	171.9			$	(6.8	)		$	165.1
Service revenue	23.3				2.5				25.8
Total net revenue	195.2				(4.3		)		190.9
Cost of revenues:
Product cost of revenue	63.5				(0.9		)		62.6
Service cost of revenue	11.4				0.1				11.5
Amortization of acquired technologies	4.1				—				4.1
Total cost of revenue	79.0				(0.8		)		78.2
Gross profit	116.2				(3.5		)		112.7
Income from operations	10.0				(3.3		)		6.7
Loss before taxes	(2.3		)		(3.3		)		(5.6		)
Provision for income taxes	2.5				(0.5		)		2.0
Net loss	$	(4.8	)		$	(2.8	)		$	(7.6	)
Net loss per common share:
Basic and diluted	$	(0.02	)		$	(0.01	)		$	(0.03	)
Shares used in per share calculations:
Basic and diluted	228.1				—				228.1

The impacts to the previously issued amounts are summarized, as follows:

Net revenue: Adoption of the revenue standard resulted in a change in the timing of revenue recognized primarily due to the treatment of software license revenue. Under the prior standard, if vendor-specific objective evidence had not been established for the post contract support and/or the services, software license revenue would have been recognized ratably over the support period. Upon adoption of ASC 606, revenue related to such software license sales will now be recognized when control transfers which is usually at the time of billing. The decrease in revenue for the period presented above is primarily the result of the elimination of ratable software license revenue. Such license revenue was previously amortized; however it is now recognized upon recast, at a point in time under the new standard.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. The new guidance also modifies the impairment models for available-for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance regarding both operating and financing leases, requiring lessees to recognize on their balance sheets “right-of-use assets” and corresponding lease liabilities, measured on a discounted basis over the lease term. Virtually all leases will be subject to this treatment except leases that meet the definition of a “short-term lease.” The guidance requires a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. While the Company is not yet in a position to assess the full impact of the application of the new guidance, the Company expects adoption of this guidance will materially increase the assets and liabilities recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 3. Revenue

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company adopted the revenue standard using the retrospective transition method which requires the Company to recast each prior period presented, consistent with the new guidance. The most significant impact of the revenue standard relates to our accounting for contracts containing software. As a result, for software solutions bundled with post-contract support (“PCS”) and/or services where vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) has not been established for the PCS and/or services, revenue will now be recognized when control transfers which is usually at time of billing rather than ratably over the life of the support term. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under the standard will depend on contract-specific terms and in some instances transfer of control and revenue recognition may differ from the time of billing. Revenue recognition under the revenue standard for the remainder of the Company’s products and services remains substantially unchanged.

The Company derives revenue from a diverse portfolio of network solutions and optical technology products and services, as follows:

•

Products: Network Enablement (“NE”) and Service Enablement (“SE”) products include instruments, microprobes and perpetual software licenses that support the development, production, maintenance and optimization of network systems. The Company’s Optical Security and Performance (“OSP”) products include proprietary pigments used for optical security and optical filters used in commercial and government 3D Sensing applications.

•

Services: The Company also offers a range of product support and professional services designed to comprehensively address customer requirements. These include repair, calibration, extended warranty, software support, technical assistance, training and consulting services. Implementation services provided in conjunction with hardware or software solution projects include sale of the products along with project management, set-up and installation.

Steps of revenue recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with the revenue standard, in which the following five steps are applied to recognize revenue.

1.

Identify the contract with a customer: Generally, the Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales or other purchase agreements, to be the customer contract. All of the following criteria must be met before the Company considers an agreement to qualify as a contract with a customer under the revenue standard: (i) it must be approved by all parties; (ii) each party’s rights regarding the goods and services to be transferred can be identified; (iii) the payment terms for the goods and services can be identified; (iv) the customer has the ability and intent to pay and collection of substantially all of the consideration is probable; and (v) the agreement has commercial substance. The Company utilizes judgment to determine the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based upon various factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or credit and financial information and credit risk management measures implemented by the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract: The Company assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct for the purpose of identifying the various performance obligations in each contract. Promised goods and services are considered distinct provided that: (i) the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and (ii) the Company's promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable or distinct from other promises in the contract. The Company's performance obligations consist of a variety of products and services offerings which include networking equipment; proprietary pigment, optical filters, proprietary software licenses; support and maintenance which includes hardware support that extends beyond the Company's standard warranties, software maintenance, installation, professional and implementation services, and training.

Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations may require significant judgment. We may enter into contracts that involve a significant level of integration and interdependency between a software license and installation services. Judgment may be required to determine whether the software license is considered distinct in the context of the contract and accounted for separately, or not distinct in the context of the contract and accounted for together with the installation service.

3.

Determine the transaction price: Transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The Company’s contracts may include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price including rebates, sales returns, market incentives and volume discounts. Variable consideration is generally accounted for at portfolio level and estimated based on historical information. If a contract includes a variable amount, the price adjustments are estimated at contract inception. In both cases, estimates are updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available.

4.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract: If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. Many of the Company’s contracts include multiple performance obligations with a combination of distinct products and services, maintenance and support, professional services and/or training. Contracts may also include rights or options to acquire future products and/or services, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations by the Company only if the right or option provides the customer with a material right that it would not receive without entering into the contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the total transaction value to each distinct performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. The best evidence of SSP is the observable price of a good or service when the Company sells that good or service separately under similar circumstances to similar customers. If a directly observable price is not available, the SSP must be estimated based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, historical pricing practices, internal costs, and profit objectives as well as overall market conditions.

Recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied: Revenue is recognized at the point in time control is transferred to the customer. For hardware sales, transfer of control to the customer typically occurs at the point the product is shipped or delivered to the customer’s designated location. For software license sales transfer of control to the customer typically occurs upon shipment, electronic delivery, or when the software is available for download by the customer. For sales of implementation service and solution contracts or in instances where software is sold along with essential installation services, transfer of control occurs and revenue is typically recognized upon customer acceptance. In certain instances, acceptance is deemed to have occurred if all acceptance provisions lapse, or if the Company has evidence that all acceptance provisions will be, or have been, satisfied. For fixed-price support and extended warranty contracts, or certain software arrangements which provide customers with a right to access over a discrete period, control is deemed to transfer over time and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term due to the stand-ready nature of the performance obligation. Revenue from hardware repairs and calibration services is recognized at the time of completion of the related service. For other professional services or time-based labor contracts, revenue is recognized as the Company performs the services and the customers receive and consume the benefits.

Revenue policy and practical expedients

The following policy and practical expedient elections have been made by the Company under the revenue standard:

•	Revenue-based taxes as assessed by governmental authorities have been excluded from the measurement of transaction price(s).

•	Shipping and handling activities performed after customer obtains control of the good are treated as activities to fulfill the promise (cost of fulfillment). Therefore, the Company does not evaluate whether the shipping and handling activities are promised services.

•

Incremental costs of obtaining contracts that would have been recognized within one year or less are recognized as an expense when incurred. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). The costs of obtaining contracts where the amortization period for recognition of the expense is beyond a year are capitalized and recognized over the revenue recognition period of the original contract.

•	The portfolio approach is used for certain types of variable consideration for contracts with similar characteristics. The methodology is used when the effects on the financial statements of applying this guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from applying this guidance to the individual contracts within that portfolio.

•	Where at contract inception, the expected period between the transfer of promised goods or services and payment is within one year or less, we forgo adjustment for the impact of significant financing component for the contract.

•

For contracts that were modified before the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented, the Company has applied a transition practical expedient and will not recast the contracts for those modifications. Instead we have reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price and allocating the transaction price.

•	For the reporting periods presented before the date of initial application, the amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations and the explanation of when it expects to recognize that amount as revenue is not disclosed.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company's revenue is presented on a disaggregated basis on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and in “Note 18. Operating Segments and Geographic Information”. This information includes revenue from reportable segments and a break-out of products and services for which the nature and timing of the revenue as characterized above is generally at a point in time and over time, respectively.

Balance sheet and other details

Receivables: The Company records a receivable when an unconditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of customer invoicing. Payment terms vary based on product or service offerings and payment is generally required within 30 to 90 days from date of invoicing. Certain performance obligations may require payment before delivery of the service to the customer.

Contract Assets: A contract asset is recognized when a conditional right to consideration exists and transfer of control has occurred. Contract assets include fixed fee professional services where the transfer of services has occurred in advance of the Company's right to invoice. Contract assets are included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. There were contract assets of $1.4 million and $1.3 million as of September 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Contract asset balances will fluctuate based upon the timing of transfer of services, billings and customers’ acceptance of contractual milestones.

Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue consists of contract liabilities primarily related to support, solution deployment services, software maintenance, product, professional services, and training when the Company has a right to invoice or payments have been received and transfer of control has not occurred. Revenue is recognized on these items when the revenue recognition criteria are met, generally resulting in ratable recognition over the contract term. Contract liabilities are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company also has short term and long term deferred revenues related to undelivered hardware and professional services, consisting of installations and consulting engagements, which are recognized as the Company's performance obligations under the contract are completed and accepted by the customer.

The following tables summarize the activity related to deferred revenue (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2018
Deferred revenue:
Balance at beginning of period	$	71.9
Revenue deferrals for new contracts (1)	26.7
Revenue recognized during the period	(26.0		)
Balance at end of period	$	72.6
Short-term deferred revenue	$	61.5
Long-term deferred revenue	$	11.1

(1)  Included in these amounts are the impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Remaining Performance Obligations: Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or incomplete, as of September 29, 2018. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations does not include amounts owed under cancelable contracts where there is no substantive termination penalty.

The Company also applied the practical expedient to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for the periods prior to adoption of the new revenue standard.

Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that has not materialized, and adjustments for currency.

The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of September 29, 2018, was $236.1 million. The Company expects to recognize 94% of remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Note 6. Acquisitions

AvComm and Wireless Test and Measurement Acquisition

On March 15, 2018 (“AW Close Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of the AW Business of Cobham plc. (“AW”) for $469.8 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments. The acquisition further strengthens the Company’s competitive position in 5G deployment and diversifies the Company into military, public safety and avionics test markets. The acquired business has been integrated into the Company's NE segment.

The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with the authoritative guidance on business combinations; therefore, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date.

The identified intangible assets acquired, as of the AW Close Date, were as follows (in millions):

Tangible assets acquired:		$	59.3
Intangible assets acquired:
Developed technology		113.5
Customer relationships		75.0
Trade names		28.0
In-process research and development		9.0
Customer Backlog		6.5
Goodwill		178.5
Total consideration transferred		$	469.8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to tangible assets, based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the AW Close Date, were as follows (in millions):

Cash		$	16.1
Accounts receivable		43.0
Inventory		33.5
Property and equipment		33.5
Other assets		7.6
Accounts payable		(10.9		)
Other liabilities		(29.6		)
Deferred revenue		(10.2		)
Deferred tax liabilities		(23.7		)
Net tangible assets acquired		$	59.3

The allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation, and our estimates and assumptions are subject to refinement, final cash and working capital adjustments within the measurement period (up to one year from the AW Close Date). Adjustments to the purchase price allocation may require adjustments to goodwill prospectively.

Acquired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets for which fair value is derived from a valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The fair value of acquired developed technology, customer relationships, trade names, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and backlog was determined based on an income approach using the discounted cash flow method. The intangible assets, except IPR&D, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives that range from three to six years. Order backlog will be fully amortized within one year.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognizes IPR&D at fair value as of March 15, 2018. The IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the R&D efforts and is tested for impairment in each period it is considered an indefinite lived asset.

Goodwill arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to sales of future products and services and the assembled workforce of AW. Goodwill has been assigned to the NE segment and is partially deductible for tax purposes.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $6.3 million  for a tax related liability, which resulted in a corresponding increase to acquired goodwill.

AW results of operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements subsequent to the date of acquisition.

Trilithic, Inc. Acquisition

During fiscal 2018 the Company completed the acquisition of Trilithic, Inc. (“Trilithic”) a privately-held provider of electronic test and measurement equipment for telecommunications service providers. The Company acquired all outstanding shares of Trilithic for $56.4 million in cash. The Trilithic acquisition has been integrated into our NE segment. 

The Company accounted for the transaction in accordance with the authoritative guidance on business combinations. Therefore, the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date.

The identified assets acquired, were as follows (in millions):

Tangible assets acquired:		$	11.8
Intangible assets acquired:
Developed technology		15.5

The Company generally classifies debt securities as available-for-sale and as cash equivalents, short-term investments or other non-current assets based on the stated maturities; however, certain securities with stated maturities of longer than twelve months which are highly liquid and available to support current operations are also classified as short-term investments. As of September 29, 2018, of the total estimated fair value, $50.1 million was classified as short-term investments and $0.6 million was classified as other non-current assets.

 In addition to the amounts presented above, as of September 29, 2018, the Company’s short-term investments classified as trading securities related to the deferred compensation plan were $1.6 million, of which $0.4 million was invested in debt securities, $0.3 million was invested in money market instruments and funds and $0.9 million was invested in equity securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of interest and other income, net.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges in each respective period.

In addition to the amounts presented above, as of June 30, 2018, the Company’s short-term investments classified as trading securities, related to the deferred compensation plan, were $1.6 million, of which $0.4 million was invested in debt securities, $0.3 million was invested in money market instruments and funds and $0.9 million was invested in equity securities. Trading securities are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of interest and other income, net.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or 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. There is an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are, inputs which market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs, which reflect the assumptions market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability.

The Company’s cash and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.

•	Level 1: includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets. Level 1 assets of the Company include money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities and marketable equity securities as they are traded with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.

•

Level 2: includes financial instruments for which the valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 instruments of the Company generally include certain U.S. and foreign government and agency securities, commercial paper, corporate and municipal bonds and notes, asset-backed securities, certificates of deposit, and foreign currency forward contracts. To estimate their fair value, the Company utilizes pricing models based on market data. The significant inputs for the valuation model usually include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker and dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, and industry and economic events.

•	Level 3: includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of September 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company did not hold any Level 3 investment securities.

Non-Designated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company has foreign subsidiaries that operate and sell the Company’s products in various markets around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables, and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to foreign-currency transactions. The Company does not use these foreign currency forward contracts for trading purposes.

As of September 29, 2018, the Company had forward contracts that were effectively closed but not settled with the counterparties by quarter end. Therefore, the fair value of these contracts of $1.9 million and $3.2 million is reflected as prepayments and other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of these contracts of $2.7 million and $11.7 million is reflected as prepayments and other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively.

The forward contracts outstanding and not effectively closed, with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near quarter end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts is not significant. As of September 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the notional amounts of the forward contracts the Company held to purchase foreign currencies were $176.2 million and $167.5 million, respectively, and the notional amounts of forward contracts the Company held to sell foreign currencies were $31.2 million and $28.6 million, respectively.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company reviewed goodwill under the qualitative assessment of the authoritative guidance and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount and that no indication of impairment existed.

There were no events or changes in circumstances which triggered an impairment review during the three months ended September 29, 2018.

As of September 29, 2018, the expected remaining term of the 2024 Notes is 5.4 years.

Based on quoted market prices as of September 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the fair value of the 2024 Notes was approximately $496.3 million and $465.3 million, respectively. The 2024 Notes are classified within Level 2 as they are not actively traded in markets.

0.625% Senior Convertible Notes (“2033 Notes”)

Note 12. Restructuring and Related Charges

The Company has initiated restructuring events primarily intended to reduce its costs, consolidate its operations, streamline product manufacturing and address market conditions. The Company’s restructuring charges primarily include severance and benefit costs to eliminate a specific number of positions, facilities and equipment costs to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, and lease termination costs. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over multiple periods.

As of September 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Company’s total restructuring accrual was $14.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company recorded restructuring and related charges of $14.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Fiscal 2019 Plans

NSE, including AW Restructuring Plan

In July 2018, Management approved restructuring and global workforce reduction plans within its Network Service and Enablement (“NSE”) business, including actions related to the recently acquired AW business. These actions further drive the Company’s strategy for organizational alignment and consolidation as part of its continued commitment to a more cost effective

and agile organization and to improve overall profitability in the Company’s NSE business. Included in these restructuring plans are specific actions to consolidate and integrate the newly acquired AW business within the NSE business segment. As a result, a restructuring charge of $14.5 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for approximately 240 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Fiscal 2018 Plans

Trilithic Restructuring Plan

During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, Management approved a plan within the NE business segment to consolidate and integrate the Trilithic acquisition. As a result, approximately 40 employees primarily in manufacturing, and SG&A functions located in the United States were impacted. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual were paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Fiscal 2017 Plans

Focused NSE Restructuring Plan

During fiscal 2017, Management approved a plan within the NE and SE business segments as part of VIAVI’s continued strategy to improve profitability in the Company’s NSE business by narrowing the scope of the Service Enablement business and reducing costs by streamlining NSE operations. In total, approximately 360 employees in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia were impacted. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual were paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company exited the workspace in Vancouver, Canada under the plan. The fair value of the remaining contractual obligations as of September 29, 2018 was $0.4 million. Payments related to the Vancouver lease costs are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Plans Prior to Fiscal 2017

NE Lease Restructuring Plan

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a NE plan to exit the remaining space in Germantown, Maryland. As of June 28, 2014, the Company exited the space in Germantown under the plan. The fair value of the remaining contractual obligations, net of sublease income, as of September 29, 2018 was $0.9 million. Payments related to the Germantown lease costs are expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

As of September 29, 2018, the restructuring accrual for other plans that commenced prior to fiscal year 2017 was $0.8 million, which consists of immaterial accruals from various restructuring plans.

Note 13. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $5.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. 

The income tax expense for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on the Company’s forecasted pre-tax income or loss for the respective fiscal year. A tax benefit of $2.8 million was recorded in the Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to the income tax intraperiod allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted. The Act imposed a deemed repatriation of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ post-1986 earnings and profits (“E&P”) which had previously been deferred from US income tax. This deemed repatriation must be reported in the Company’s fiscal 2018 U.S. tax return. The Company made a provisional estimate of this deemed repatriation of E&P. However, the Company has not yet completed the calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P for all foreign subsidiaries. The estimates may change when the Company finalizes the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation. In addition, further interpretations from U.S. federal and state governments and regulatory organizations may change the provisional estimate or the accounting treatment of the provisional estimate.

The income tax expense recorded differs from the expected tax benefit that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s loss from continuing operations before taxes primarily due to the changes in valuation allowance

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

for deferred tax assets attributable to the Company’s domestic and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations, and due to the income tax benefit recorded in continuing operations under the income tax intraperiod allocation rules.

As of September 29, 2018, and June 30, 2018, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits totaled $51.9 million and $48.6 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. The Company had $1.7 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 29, 2018. The unrecognized tax benefits that may be recognized during the next twelve months are approximately $1.3 million.

Note 14. Stockholders' Equity

Repurchase of Common Stock

In February 2018, the Board of Directors increased the previously authorized stock repurchase program from $150 million to $200 million. The Board also extended the period during which repurchases could be made to September 30, 2019. Under the revised repurchase authorization, the Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s management.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. As of September 29, 2018, the Company had remaining authorization of $62.6 million for future share repurchases. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of such repurchases will be based on several factors, including business and financial market conditions.

Note 15. Stock-Based Compensation

Overview

The impact on the Company’s results of operations of recording stock-based compensation by function for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2018				September 30, 2017
Cost of revenues	$	0.8			$	0.9
Research and development	1.2				1.1
Selling, general and administrative	6.1				5.5
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	8.1			$	7.5

Approximately $0.9 million and $0.7 million of stock-based compensation expense was capitalized to inventory as of September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Full Value Awards

Full Value Awards refer to restricted stock units that are granted without an exercise price and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. Performance-based awards are performance-based with market conditions, performance conditions, time-based or a combination, and are expected to vest over one to four years. When converted into shares upon vesting, shares equivalent in value to the minimum withholding taxes liability on the vested shares are withheld by the Company for the payment of such taxes.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company granted 3.4 million and 2.9 million time-based awards, respectively. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award. The majority of these time-based awards vest over three years, with 33% vesting after one year and the balance vesting quarterly over the remaining two years.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company granted 0.5 million and 0.5 million, performance-based awards, respectively. These performance-based shares represent the target amount of grants, and the actual number of shares awarded upon vesting may vary depending upon the achievement of the relevant performance conditions. The shares attained over target upon vesting are reflected as awards granted during the period. Accordingly, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company granted additional 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares due to

26

Table of Contents

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

performance-based shares attained over target. The aggregate grant-date fair value of performance-based awards granted during the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were estimated to be $6.2 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The majority of performance-based awards vest in equal annual installments over three years based on the attainment of certain performance measures and the employee’s continued service through the vest date. The performance-based awards with market condition were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

As of September 29, 2018, $74.9 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to Full Value Awards remains to be amortized. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated amortization period of 2.2 years.

Note 16. Employee Pension and Other Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors significant qualified and non-qualified pension plans for certain past and present employees in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Germany. The Company also is responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation assumed from a past acquisition.

Most of the plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany assumed in connection with an acquisition during fiscal 2010 and the AW business acquisition during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each year of service.

As of September 29, 2018, the U.K. and AW plans were partially funded while the other plans were unfunded. The Company’s policy for funded plans is to make contributions equal to or greater than the requirements prescribed by law or regulation. For unfunded plans, the Company pays the post-retirement benefits when due. During the three months ended September 29, 2018, the Company contributed $0.7 million to the U.K. plan. The funded plan assets consist primarily of managed investments.

The following table presents the components of net periodic cost for the pension and benefits plans (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2018				September 30, 2017
Service cost	$	—			$	—
Interest cost	0.6				0.7
Expected return on plan assets	(0.4		)		(0.4		)
Amortization of net actuarial losses	0.6				0.4
Net periodic benefit cost	$	0.8			$	0.7

Both the calculation of the projected benefit obligation and net periodic cost are based upon actuarial valuations. These valuations use participant-specific information such as salary, age, years of service, and assumptions about interest rates, compensation increases and other factors. At a minimum, the Company evaluates these assumptions annually and makes changes as necessary.

The Company expects to incur cash outlays of approximately $7.8 million related to its defined benefit pension plans during fiscal 2019 to make current benefit payments and fund future obligations. As of September 29, 2018, approximately $1.5 million had been incurred. These payments have been estimated based on the same assumptions used to measure the Company’s projected benefit obligation at June 30, 2018.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In June 2016, the Company received a court decision regarding the validity of an amendment to a pension deed of trust related to one of its foreign subsidiaries which the Company contends contained an error requiring the Company to increase the pension plan’s benefit. The Company had subsequently further amended the deed to rectify the error. The court ruled that the amendment increasing the pension plan benefit was valid until the subsequent amendment. The Company estimated the liability to range from (amounts represented as £ denote GBP) £5.7 million to £8.4 million. The Company determined the likelihood of loss to be probable and accrued £5.7 million as of July 2, 2016 in accordance with authoritative guidance on contingencies. The

accrual is included in pension and post-employment benefits, which is a component of other non-current liabilities in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company pursued an appeal of the court decision. In March 2018, the appellate court affirmed the decision of the lower court. The Company continues to pursue a claim against the U.K. law firm responsible for the error. As of September 29, 2018, the related accrued pension liability was £5.9 million or $7.7 million.

The Company is subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.

Guarantees

The Company follows authoritative guidance which requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a tabular reconciliation of the changes of the entity’s product warranty liabilities, are required.

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company’s businesses or assets; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship.

The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 29, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

Outstanding Letters of Credit and Performance Bonds

As of September 29, 2018, the Company had standby letters of credit of $11.0 million and performance bonds of $1.6 million collateralized by restricted cash.

Product Warranties

The Company provides reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. In general, the Company offers its customers warranties up to three-years and has accrued a reserve for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. It estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

The following table presents the changes in the Company’s warranty reserve during fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2018				September 30, 2017
Balance as of beginning of period	$	8.2			$	5.8
Provision for warranty	0.4				0.5
Utilization of reserve	(1.2		)		(0.9		)
Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates)	1.6				0.7

Note 18. Operating Segments and Geographic Information

The Company evaluates its reportable segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance on segment reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), use operating segment financial information to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources.

The Company’s reportable segments are:

(i) Network Enablement:

NE provides testing solutions that access the network to perform build-out and maintenance tasks. These solutions include instruments, software and services to design, build, activate, certify, troubleshoot and optimize networks. The Company also offers a range of product support and professional services such as repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for our products.

(ii) Service Enablement:

SE solutions are embedded systems that yield network, service and application performance data. These solutions—including instruments, microprobes and software—monitor, collect and analyze network data to reveal the actual customer experience and to identify opportunities for new revenue streams and network optimization.

(iii) Optical Security and Performance Products:

OSP provides innovative, precision, high performance optical products for anti-counterfeiting, government, industrial, automotive and consumer electronic markets, including 3D Sensing applications.

The CODM manages the Company in two broad business categories: NSE and OSP. The CODM evaluates segment performance of the NSE business based on the combined segment gross and operating margins. Operating expenses associated with the NSE business are not allocated to the individual segments within NSE, as they are managed centrally at the business unit level. The CODM evaluates segment performance of the OSP business based on segment operating margin. The Company allocates corporate-level operating expenses to its segment results, except for certain non-core operating and non-operating activities as discussed below.

The Company does not allocate stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges, impairment of goodwill, non-operating income and expenses, or other charges unrelated to core operating performance to its segments because management does not include this information in its measurement of the performance of the operating segments. These items are presented as “Other Items” in the table below. Additionally, the Company does not specifically identify and allocate all assets by operating segment.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Refer to “Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” regarding the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. We believe that the accounting estimates employed and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

For a description of the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, refer to Item 7 on Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Fiscal 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission

Net Revenue

Revenue from our service offerings exceeds 10% of our total consolidated net revenue and is presented separately in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Service revenue primarily consists of maintenance and support, extended warranty, training, professional services and post-contract support in addition to other services such as calibration and repair services. When evaluating the performance of our segments, management focuses on total net revenue, gross profit and operating income and not the product or service categories. Consequently, the following discussion of business segment performance focuses on total net revenue, gross profit, and operating income consistent with our approach for managing the business.

Three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017

Net revenue increased by $77.6 million, or 40.6%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily due to revenue increase from our NE and OSP segments as discussed below.

35

---

Table of Contents

Product revenues increased by $76.0 million, or 46.0%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to revenue increase from our NE and OSP segment as discussed below.

Service revenues increased by $1.6 million, or 6.2%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to an increased support revenue from the Wireless acquisition partially offset by a decline in support contract renewals for the SE segment, resulting from our continued run-off of our Mature Assurance portfolio solutions, partially offset by increased support revenue from the Wireless acquisition.

NE net revenue increased by $52.9 million, or 47.4%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was driven by growth in our Lab products primarily due to the acquired Wireless product offerings that was not included in the prior period, and organic growth in our Lab Fiber Instruments in both 100Gb and 400Gb Ethernet products. The increase was partially offset by revenue declines of $16.6 million in Field Instruments due to weaker North American service provider spend period over period.

SE net revenue increased by $1.3 million, or 5.2%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by double-digit percentage growth in our Data Center products while our Assurance products was roughly flat year-on-year. The Mature Assurance product offering, as expected, continued to decline period over period.

OSP net revenue increased by $23.4 million, or 43.0%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by revenue from our Consumer and Industrial products on the strength of our 3D Sensing optical filters and an increase in revenue from Anti-Counterfeiting products banknote redesign product demand.

Going forward, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market risks and uncertainties that may limit our visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance, and that could create quarter over quarter variability in our financial measures. For example, while the majority of our net revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, a portion of our international operations are denominated in foreign currencies. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies could negatively impact reported revenue and expenses.

Additionally, we have seen demand for our NE and SE products affected by macroeconomic uncertainty. We cannot predict when or to what extent these uncertainties will be resolved. Our revenues, profitability, and general financial performance may also be affected by: (a) pricing pressures due to, among other things, a highly concentrated customer base, increasing competition, particularly from Asia-based competitors, and a general commoditization trend for certain products; (b) product mix variability in our NE and SE markets, which affects revenue and gross margin; (c) fluctuations in customer buying patterns, which cause demand, revenue and profitability volatility; and (d) the current trend of communication industry consolidation, which is expected to continue, that directly affects our NE and SE customer bases and adds additional risk and uncertainty to our financial and business projections.

In fiscal 2019, we expect to continue to see an increase in net revenue from our NSE business segment driven by macro industry technology trends from 5G wireless testing and deployment, and, Fiber-to-the-Home deployment. In our OSP segment, we expect Anti-Counterfeiting net revenue to increase in the first half of fiscal 2019 driven by major bank note redesigns and then moderating in the fiscal second half. We also expect to see 3D Sensing revenue to surge in the first half fiscal 2019 driven by increase adoption on multiple mobile devices but then decline in the fiscal second half that is in-line with smartphone demand seasonality.

Revenue by Region

We operate in three geographic regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”). Net revenue is assigned to the geographic region and country where our product is initially shipped. For example, certain customers may request shipment of our product to a contract manufacturer in one country, which may differ from the location of their end customers. The following table presents net revenue by the three geographic regions we operate in and net revenue from countries that exceeded 10% of our total net revenue (in millions):

	Three Months Ended
	September 29, 2018							September 30, 2017
Americas
United States	$	72.8			27.1	%		$	77.6			40.6	%
Other Americas	21.0				7.9	%		17.0				8.9	%
Total Americas	93.8				35.0	%		94.6				49.5	%
Asia-Pacific
Greater China	$	58.9			21.9	%		$	23.0			12.0	%
Other Asia	39.5				14.7	%		14.2				7.5	%
Total Asia-Pacific	98.4				36.6	%		37.2				19.5	%
EMEA
Switzerland	$	25.7			9.6	%		$	28.3			14.8	%
Other EMEA	50.6				18.8	%		30.8				16.2	%
Total EMEA	76.3				28.4	%		59.1				31.0	%
Total net revenue	$	268.5			100.0	%		$	190.9			100.0	%

Net revenue from customers outside the Americas during the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 represented 65.0% and 50.5% of net revenue, respectively. We expect revenue from customers outside of United States to continue to be an important part of our overall net revenue and an increasing focus for net revenue growth opportunities.

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased by 3.0 percentage points during the three months ended September 29, 2018 from 59.0% in the same period a year ago to 56.0% in the current period. This decrease was primarily driven by gross margin reduction in our NE and OSP segments and higher amortization of intangibles related to newly acquired Trilithic and AW business. This decrease was partially offset by gross margin improvement in our SE segment.

As discussed in more detail under “Net Revenue” above, we sell products in certain markets that are consolidating, undergoing product, architectural and business model transitions, have high customer concentrations, are highly competitive (increasingly due to Asia-Pacific-based competition), are price sensitive and/or are affected by customer seasonal and mix variant buying patterns. We expect these factors to continue to result in variability of our gross margin.

Research and Development

R&D expense increased by $13.5 million, or 46.4%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This increase was primarily driven by R&D costs from acquired Trilithic and AW businesses not included in the year ago period. As a percentage of net revenue R&D increased by 0.7 percentage points during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago.

We believe that continuing our investments in R&D is critical to attaining our strategic objectives. We plan to continue to invest in R&D and new products that will further differentiate us in the marketplace.

Selling, General and Administrative

SG&A expense increased $12.1 million, or up 16.7%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to acquisition and integration related costs as well as incremental SG&A

Table of Contents

expense from acquired Trilithic and AW businesses, partially offset by reduction in expenses with our strategic restructuring activities and ongoing cost reduction efforts. As a percentage of net revenue SG&A decreased 6.5 percentage points during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago.

We intend to continue to focus on reducing our SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue. However, we have in recent past experienced, and may continue to experience in the future, certain charges unrelated to our core operating performance, such as mergers and acquisitions-related expenses and litigation expenses, which could increase our SG&A expenses and potentially impact our profitability expectations in any particular quarter.

Restructuring and Related Charges

From time to time we have initiated strategic restructuring events primarily intended to reduce costs, consolidate our operations, rationalize the manufacturing of our products and align our businesses in response to market conditions. We estimate annualized gross cost savings of approximately $34.0 million excluding any one-time charges as a result of recent restructuring activities initiated in the last twelve months. Refer to “Note 12. Restructuring and Related Charges” for more information.

As of September 29, 2018, our total restructuring accrual was $14.6 million.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, we recorded $14.8 million in restructuring and related charges. These charges are primarily the result of the following:

•

In July 2018, Management approved restructuring and global workforce reduction plans within its NSE business, including actions related to the recently acquired AW business. These actions further drive the Company’s strategy for organizational alignment and consolidation as part of its continued commitment to a more cost effective and agile organization and to improve overall profitability in the Company’s NSE business. Included in these restructuring plans are specific actions to consolidate and integrate the newly acquired AW business within the NSE business segment. As a result, a restructuring charge of $14.5 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for approximately 240 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Payments related to the severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded $1.5 million in restructuring and related charges. These charges are primarily the result of the following:

•

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, Management approved a plan in the NE and SE segment to exit the space in Colorado Springs, Colorado. As of September 30, 2017, the Company exited the workspace in Colorado Springs under the plan. The fair value of the remaining contractual obligations as of September 30, 2017 was $1.3 million. Payments related to the Colorado lease costs were paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018.

Our restructuring and other lease exit cost obligations are net of sublease income or lease settlement estimates of approximately $0.5 million. Our ability to generate sublease income, as well as our ability to terminate lease obligations and recognize the anticipated related savings, is highly dependent upon the economic conditions, particularly commercial real estate market conditions in certain geographies, at the time we negotiate the lease termination and sublease arrangements with third parties as well as the performances by such third parties of their respective obligations. While the amount we have accrued represents the best estimate of the remaining obligations we expect to incur in connection with these plans, estimates are subject to change. Routine adjustments are required and may be required in the future as conditions and facts change through the implementation period. If adverse macroeconomic conditions continue, particularly as they pertain to the commercial real estate market, or if, for any reason, tenants under subleases fail to perform their obligations, we may be required to reduce estimated future sublease income and adjust the estimated amounts of future settlement agreements, and accordingly, increase estimated costs to exit certain facilities. Amounts related to the lease expense, net of anticipated sublease proceeds, will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal 2020.

Interest and Other Income, Net

Interest and other income, net was $1.9 million during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to $0.2 million the same period a year ago. This $1.7 million increase was primarily driven by a $1.5 million decrease in interest income plus $0.4 million more unfavorable foreign exchange impact during the current period, offset by a $3.6 million loss from the extinguishment of debt from the 2033 Notes in the prior period.

Interest Expense

38

---

Table of Contents

Interest expense decreased by $2.4 million, or (19.2)%, during the three months ended September 29, 2018 compared to the same period a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in debt discount accretion of the 2033 Notes, offset by a full-quarter debt discount accretion of the 2023 Notes in the current period.

Provision for Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $5.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectfully.

The income tax expense for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 primarily relates to income tax in certain foreign and state jurisdictions based on our forecasted pre-tax income or loss for the respective fiscal year. A tax benefit of $2.8 million was recorded in our income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to the income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted. The Act imposed a deemed repatriation of our foreign subsidiaries’ post-1986 earnings and profits (“E&P”) which had previously been deferred from US income tax. This deemed repatriation must be reported in our fiscal 2018 U.S. tax return. We made a provisional estimate of this deemed repatriation of E&P. However, we have not yet completed the calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P for all foreign subsidiaries. The estimates may change when we finalize the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation. In addition, further interpretations from U.S. federal and state governments and regulatory organizations may change the provisional estimate or the accounting treatment of the provisional estimate.

Upon adoption of the new guidance on share-based payment awards, previously unrecognized excess tax benefits were recorded as a deferred tax asset, which was fully offset by a corresponding increase in valuation allowance, resulting in no impact to opening accumulated deficit.  In addition, due to the full valuation allowance on the U.S. deferred tax assets, there was no impact to the income tax provision from excess tax benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

The income tax expense recorded differs from the expected tax benefit that would be calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to our loss from continuing operations before taxes primarily due to the changes in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets attributable to our domestic and foreign income (loss) from continuing operations, impacts of the Act, and due to the income tax benefit recorded in continuing operations under the income tax intraperiod allocation rules.

As of September 29, 2018, and June 30, 2018, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $51.9 million and $48.6 million, respectively, and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net. We had $1.7 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 29, 2018. The unrecognized tax benefits that may be recognized during the next twelve months are approximately $1.3 million.

Network Enablement

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, NE gross margin decreased by 0.4 percentage points from 63.0% in the same period a year ago to 62.6% in the current period. This decrease was primarily due to unfavorable product mix arising from our AW acquisition.

Service Enablement

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, SE gross margin increased by 0.3 percentage points from 69.5% in the same period a year ago to 69.8% in the current period. This increase was primarily due to favorable product mix from growth in Data Center product revenue.

Network and Service Enablement (“NSE”)

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, NSE operating margin increased by 5.7 percentage points from 2.9% in the same period a year ago to 8.6% in the current period. This increase in operating margin was primarily driven by cost management in our core NSE business from our strategic restructuring activities and the operating leverage from the addition of our acquisitions, notably the AW business.

Optical Security and Performance Products

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, OSP gross margin decreased by 7.1 percentage points from 57.7% in the same period a year ago to 50.6% in the current period. The decline was primarily due to unfavorable product mix driven by higher revenue from Consumer and Industrial offerings from our 3D Sensing products.

Table of Contents

OSP operating margin decreased by 5.6 percentage points during the three months ended September 29, 2018 from 40.8% in the same period a year ago to 35.2% in the current period. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to decrease in gross margin as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash investments are made in accordance with an investment policy approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and has not changed from that disclosed in our 10-K. Virtually all debt securities held were minimum BBB/Baa2. As of September 29, 2018, U.S. entities owned approximately 37.5% of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash.

As of September 29, 2018, the majority of our cash investments have maturities of 90 days or less and are of high credit quality. Although we intend to hold these investments to maturity, in the event that we are required to sell any of these securities under adverse market conditions, losses could be recognized on such sales. During the three months ended September 29, 2018, we have not realized material investment losses but can provide no assurance that the value or the liquidity of our investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. In addition, we maintain cash balances in operating accounts that are with third party financial institutions. These balances in the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail.

On August 15, 2018, certain noteholders of the 2033 Notes exercised the put option and an aggregate principal amount of $134.3 million were validly surrendered for repurchase. The Company accepted all such notes for payment with available cash. On September 5, 2018, the Company elected to exercise its optional redemption right to redeem all $142.7 million aggregate principal amount of its 2033 Notes outstanding after the satisfaction of the put option. The date fixed for the redemption of the Notes was October 10, 2018 (Redemption Date), the redemption price for the Notes was equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding the Redemption Date. For additional information related to our debt refer to “Note 11. Debt.”

Three Months Ended September 29, 2018

As of September 29, 2018 our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash decreased by $128.6 million to $665.0 million from $793.6 million as of June 30, 2018.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, cash provided by operating activities was $27.6 million, consisting of net loss of $15.3 million adjusted for non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) which totaled $42.3 million, including changes in deferred tax balances, and changes in operating assets and liabilities that provided $0.6 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to an increase in accounts payable of $3.7 million driven by the timing of payments, an increase in accrued payroll and related expenses of $2.6 million due to bonus accruals, a decrease in inventories of $1.4 million due to increased shipments of 3D Sensing products, an increase in income taxes payable of $1.3 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $1.1 million, and an increase in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $0.1 million. These changes were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $6.6 million due to higher billings and an increase in other current and non-current assets of $3.0 million.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, cash provided by investing activities was $107.0 million, primarily related to $117.5 million in sales and maturities of available-for-sale debt securities and $1.6 million proceeds from sales of assets offset by $12.1 million of cash used for capital expenditures.

During the three months ended September 29, 2018, cash used in financing activities was $138.4 million, primarily resulting from $134.3 million used for repurchase of our 2033 Notes, $5.5 million in withholding tax payments on the vesting of restricted stock awards and $0.7 million in payment of financing obligations offset by $2.1 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

As of September 30, 2017, our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash decreased by $217.3 million to $1,237.3 million from $1,454.6 million as of July 1, 2017.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities was $11.0 million, consisting of net loss of $7.6 million adjusted for non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) which totaled $33.3 million, including changes in deferred tax balance, offset by a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $14.7 million. Net decreases in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to an increase in inventories of $12.1 million due to inventory build-up primarily for our 3D Sensing products, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current

liabilities of $7.7 million due to payment for severance related liabilities and interest expense payments, a decrease in income taxes payable of $5.8 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $5.3 million due to amortization of support agreements and the release of revenue upon customer acceptance. This was offset by a decrease in other current and non-current assets of $9.0 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $4.7 million primarily driven by timing of collections, an increase in accounts payable of $4.5 million driven by the timing of payment, an increase in accrued payroll and related expenses of $2.0 million due to the timing of salary and bonus payment.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, cash used in investing activities was $61.4 million, primarily related to cash used to acquire Trilithic of $55.3 million and $8.4 million of cash used for capital expenditures offset by $2.3 million of net purchase, sales and maturities of available-for-sale debt securities and proceeds from sales of assets.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, cash used in financing activities was $174.6 million, primarily resulting from  $162.0 million used for repurchase of our 2033 Notes, $9.2 million of cash used to repurchase common stock under our share repurchase program, $5.2 million in withholding tax payments on vesting of restricted stock awards, and $0.7 million in payment of financing obligations offset by $2.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.

We believe that our existing cash balances and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital spending requirements over the next twelve months. However, there are a number of factors that could positively or negatively impact our liquidity position, including:

•	global economic conditions which affect demand for our products and services and impact the financial stability of our suppliers and customers;

•	changes in accounts receivable, inventory or other operating assets and liabilities which affect our working capital;

•	increase in capital expenditure to support the revenue growth opportunity of our business;

•	changes in customer payment terms and patterns, which typically results in customers delaying payments or negotiating favorable payment terms to manage their own liquidity positions;

•	timing of payments to our suppliers;

•	factoring or sale of accounts receivable;

•	volatility in fixed income and credit market which impact the liquidity and valuation of our investment portfolios;

•	volatility in foreign exchange market which impacts our financial results;

•	possible investments or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies;

•	issuance or repurchase of debt or equity securities, which may include open market purchases of our Notes prior to their maturity or of our common stock;

•	potential funding of pension liabilities either voluntarily or as required by law or regulation; and

•	compliance with covenants and other terms and conditions related to our financing arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

There were no material changes to our existing contractual commitments during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in rules promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors, other than the guarantees discussed in “Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.”

Employee Equity Incentive Plan

Our stock-based benefit plans are a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain employees and align stockholder and employee interests. Refer to “Note 15. Stock-Based Compensation” for more details.

Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits

We sponsor significant pension plans for certain past and present employees in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Germany. We are also responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation or PBO assumed from a past acquisition. All of these plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany assumed in connection with acquisitions during fiscal 2010. The U.K. and AW plans are partially funded and the other Germany plans, which were initially established as “pay-as-you-go” plans, are unfunded. As of September 29, 2018, our pension plans were under funded by $104.9 million since the PBO exceeded the fair value of plan assets. Similarly, we had a liability of $0.4 million related to our non-pension post-retirement benefit plan. Pension plan assets are managed by external third parties and we monitor the performance of our investment managers. As of September 29, 2018, the fair value of plan assets had increased approximately 1.3% since June 30, 2018, our most recent fiscal year end.

A key actuarial assumption in calculating the net periodic cost and the PBO is the discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the interest cost component of the net periodic benefit cost calculation and PBO due to the fact that the PBO is calculated on a net present value basis. Decreases in the discount rate will generally increase pre-tax cost, recognized expense and the PBO. Increases in the discount rate tend to have the opposite effect. We estimate a 50 basis point (“BPS”) decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the PBO of approximately $9.5 million based upon data as of June 30, 2018.

In estimating the expected return on plan assets, we consider historical returns on plan assets, adjusted for forward-looking considerations, inflation assumptions and the impact of active management of the plan’s invested assets. While it is not possible to accurately predict future rate movements, we believe our current assumptions are appropriate. Refer to “Note 16. Employee Pension and Other Benefit Plans” for more details.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks

The Company’s market risk has not changed materially from the foreign exchange and interest rate risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 29, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

To facilitate the adoption of the new revenue standard effective July 1, 2018, we implemented internal controls to ensure we have adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new standard related to revenue recognition on our financial statements.

There have been no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures of our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems will be achieved. No evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. If an unfavorable final outcome were to occur, it may have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.
