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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Use of estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and operating results for the nine months ended October 1, 2023 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any future period.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes to such policies during the nine months ended October 1, 2023.
Emerging Growth Company Status
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), we may, under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies, unless we otherwise irrevocably elect not to avail ourselves of this exemption. We did not make such an irrevocable election and have not delayed the adoption of any applicable accounting standards. We will no longer qualify as an EGC on December 31, 2023. Accordingly, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2023 will include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted during the nine months ended October 1, 2023.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
We have considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, and do not expect any to have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.

For the nine months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, $ 131.8 million and $ 82.5 million of revenue was deferred due to unsatisfied performance obligations, primarily relating to over time service revenue, and $ 125.6 million and $ 101.2 million of revenue was recognized for the satisfaction of performance obligations over time, respectively. Approximately $ 10.6 million and $ 13.6 million of this recognized revenue was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods. There were no significant changes in estimates during the period that would affect the contract balances.
During the five-year period that commenced on January 1, 2020, Verisure Sàrl (“Verisure”) has an aggregate purchase commitment of $ 500.0 million. As of October 1, 2023, $ 438.9 million of the purchase commitment has been fulfilled. Based on the Supply Agreement with Verisure, a purchase obligation is not deemed to exist until we receive and accept Verisure’s purchase order.

This restructuring includes the reduction of headcount as well as the abandonment of certain lease contracts and the cancellation of contractual services arrangements with certain suppliers. As of October 1, 2023, we have substantially incurred all costs pertaining to restructuring activities, with related cash outflows extending until the fourth quarter of 2024.

Note 7. Revolving Credit Facility
On October 27, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as lender (the “Lender”).
The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on October 27, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to the lesser of (x) $ 40.0 million, and (y) an amount equal to the borrowing base. The borrowing base will be the sum of (i) 90 % of investment grade eligible receivables and (ii) 85 % of non-investment grade eligible accounts, less applicable reserves established by the Lender. The Credit Agreement also includes a $ 5.0 million sublimit for the issuance by the Lender of letters of credit. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows us to request, from time to time, that the Lender increase the aggregate revolving loan commitments by up to an additional $ 25.0 million in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining the Lender’s agreement to participate in each increase. The proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Based on certain terms and conditions including eligible accounts receivable as of October 1, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $ 14.4 million.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our domestic working capital assets, including accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, inventory, and other assets to the extent related to such working capital assets.
At our option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a floating rate equal to: (i) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate plus the applicable rate of 2.0 % to 2.5 % determined based on our average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter, or (ii) the base rate plus the applicable rate of 1.0 % to 1.5 % based on our average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter. Among other fees, we are required to pay a monthly unused fee of 0.2 % per annum on the amount by which the Lender’s aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility exceeds the average daily revolver usage during such month.
The Credit Agreement contains events of default, representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require us to (a) until we achieve a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for two consecutive quarters, maintain minimum liquidity of not less than $ 20.0 million at all times and (b) thereafter, if the Financial Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is in effect, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, tested quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis, of at least 1.00 to 1.00 at any time. As of October 1, 2023, we were in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement.
If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs, then the Lender may cease making advances under the Credit Agreement and declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if we file a bankruptcy petition, a bankruptcy petition is filed against us and is not dismissed or stayed within thirty days or we make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically and without notice or demand become immediately due and payable.
No amounts had been drawn under the Credit Facility as of October 1, 2023.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
Our operating lease obligations mostly include offices, equipment, data centers and distribution centers, with various expiration dates through June 2029. Certain lease agreements include options to renew or terminate the lease, which are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into our determination of lease payments. The terms of certain leases provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. Gross lease expense was $ 1.5 million and $ 4.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023, respectively, and $ 1.8 million and $ 5.4 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, respectively. We recorded sublease income as reduction of lease expense, in the amount of $ 0.5 million and $ 1.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022.

Letters of Credit
In connection with the lease agreement for our office space located in San Jose, California, we executed a letter of credit with the landlord as the beneficiary. As of October 1, 2023, we had approximately $ 3.6 million of unused letters of credit outstanding, of which $ 3.1 million pertains to the lease arrangement in San Jose, California.
Purchase Obligations
We have entered into various inventory-related purchase agreements with suppliers. Generally, under these agreements, 50 % of orders are cancelable by giving notice 46 to 60 days prior to the expected shipment date and 25 % of orders are cancelable by giving notice 31 to 45 days prior to the expected shipment date. Orders are non-cancelable within 30 days prior to the expected shipment date. As of October 1, 2023, we had approximately $ 32.9 million in non-cancelable purchase commitments with suppliers.
As of October 1, 2023, an additional $ 14.3 million of purchase orders beyond contractual termination periods have been issued to supply chain partners in anticipation of demand requirements. Consequently, we may incur expenses for the materials and components, such as chipsets already purchased by the supplier to fulfill our orders if the purchase order is cancelled. Expenses incurred have historically not been significant relative to the original order value. As of October 1, 2023, the loss liability from committed purchases was not material.

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

contingency. In October 2020, we made a $ 1.25 million payment to an escrow account administered by the court and plaintiff’s counsel (the “Settlement Fund”). The Settlement Fund was deemed to be in the custody of the court and remained subject to the jurisdiction of the court until such time as the Settlement Fund was distributed pursuant to the settlement agreement and/or further order of the court.
On February 5, 2021, lead plaintiff filed a motion for final approval of the settlement. In advance of the final approval hearing, three of the named plaintiffs in the State Action requested exclusion from the settlement. The court held a final approval hearing on March 11, 2021, and, on March 25, 2021, entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement and, among other things, dismissed with prejudice all claims of lead plaintiff and the Settlement Class (as defined in the settlement agreement). The Federal Action is now closed.
In the State Action, on May 5, 2021, the court held a status conference and instructed plaintiffs Perros, Patel, and Pham (“Plaintiffs”), who were the only Arlo stockholders to opt out of the federal settlement, to file an amended complaint by June 4, 2021. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint, asserting their individual Securities Act claims, but also purporting to represent a new class of Arlo stockholders who purchased Arlo shares between December 3, 2018 and February 22, 2019. On June 21, 2021, the Arlo defendants filed a motion to dismiss the State Action (for forum non conveniens) based on the federal forum provision in Arlo’s certificate of incorporation. Plaintiffs opposed on July 28, 2021, and the Arlo defendants replied on August 13, 2021. On September 9, 2021, the court issued an order granting the Arlo defendants’ forum non conveniens motion, and on September 17, 2021, the court issued a final judgment dismissing the State Action in its entirety. On November 16, 2021, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal. The appeal occurred before the California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District. Plaintiffs-Appellants filed their opening brief on May 20, 2022. Defendants-Respondents filed their responding brief on August 18, 2022, and Plaintiffs-Appellants filed their reply brief on September 7, 2022. On April 13, 2023, the court heard oral argument on the appeal and the case was submitted. On May 5, 2023, the Court of Appeal affirmed by written order the trial court’s dismissal of the State Action based on the federal forum provision in Arlo’s certificate of incorporation and awarded costs to Arlo. On June 14, 2023, Plaintiffs filed a petition for review in the Supreme Court of California. Defendants-Respondents filed their answer to the petition for review on July 5, 2023, and Plaintiffs filed their reply in support of the petition for review on July 17, 2023. On July 19, 2023, the Supreme Court of California denied Plaintiffs’ petition for review and closed the case. The deadline for Plaintiffs to file a petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States appealing the dismissal of the State Action was October 17, 2023. To our knowledge, no such petition has been filed.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, distributors, resellers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising from breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with members of our board of directors and certain of our executive officers that require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. As of October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and we are not currently aware of any indemnification claims.

Note 10. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 was $ 0.03 million and $ 1.04 million, or an effective tax rate of ( 2.7 )% and ( 4.8 )%. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.7 million, or an effective tax rate of ( 2.2 )% and ( 2.2 )%. During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, we sustained U.S. book losses. Consistent with the prior year periods, we maintained a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and did not record a tax benefit on these deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Provision for income taxes decreased for the three months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the prior year period and increased for the nine months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to (i) the higher U.S. earnings, (ii) the application of Section 174 of the Internal Revenue Code requiring capitalization of research and experimental expenses, which increase was recognized mostly in the first quarter of 2023, and (iii) the recognition of a tax benefit from return to provision adjustments in the third quarter of 2023.
