NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation
The Company
Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) designs, manufactures, and sells a range of wireless networking solutions and services to mobile and fixed telephone service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies, and broadcast system operators across the globe. Our products include broadband wireless access base stations and customer premises equipment for fixed and mobile, point-to-point digital microwave radio systems for access, backhaul, trunking, license-exempt applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, and we have made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the three and six months ended December 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2022.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
We operate on a 52-week or 53-week year ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The three months ended December 30, 2022 and the three months ended December 31, 2021 both consisted of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2023 will be comprised of 52 weeks and will end on June 30, 2023. Fiscal year 2022 was comprised of 52 weeks and ended on July 1, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist us in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, business combinations, provision for uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, contingencies and recoverability of long-lived assets. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as of December 30, 2022 and for the six months ended December 30, 2022, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2022.

Accounting Standards Adopted
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2022-02 (collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Topic 326 became effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2023. The adoption had no material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
• Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair values, and valuation input levels of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 30, 2022 and July 1, 2022 were as follows:
December 30, 2022 July 1, 2022 Valuation Inputs
(In thousands) Fair Value Fair Value
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents:
Money market funds
$ 5,599 $ 5,367 Level 1
Bank certificates of deposit
$ 3,569 $ 3,682 Level 2
Marketable securities $ 2 $ 10,893 Level 1
We classify items within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets. Our Level 1 items mainly are money market funds. As of December 30, 2022 and July 1, 2022, these money market funds were valued at $ 1.00 net asset value per share.
Our marketable securities are included in current assets on our balance sheet as they are available to be converted into cash to fund current operations. These marketable securities are publicly traded stock measured at fair value and classified
15
within Level 1. For the six months ended December 30, 2022 we recognized a loss of $ 1.7 million associated with the sales of our marketable securities.
We classify items in Level 2 if the observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, or alternative pricing sources are available with reasonable levels of price transparency. Our bank certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2.
As of December 30, 2022 and July 1, 2022, we did not have any recurring assets or liabilities that were valued using significant unobservable inputs.
Our policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the first six months of fiscal 2023 and 2022, we had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of our assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Note 4. Leases
The Company has facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. These leases have varying terms that range from one to 20 years and contain leasehold improvement incentives, rent holidays and escalation clauses.
We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. These operating leases are included in "Right of use assets" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Our obligations to make lease payments are included in "Short-term lease liabilities" and "Long-term lease liabilities" on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not enter into any finance leases during the six months ended December 30, 2022.
The following summarizes our lease costs (in thousands):

Note 5. Credit Facility and Debt
On May 17, 2021, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Credit Facility”) which extended the expiration date to June 28, 2024. The SVB Credit Facility provides for a $ 25.0 million accounts receivable formula-based revolving credit facility that can be borrowed by our U.S. company, with a $ 25.0 million sub-limit that can be borrowed by our U.S. and Singapore entities. Loans may be advanced under the SVB Credit Facility based on a borrowing base equal to a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts of the borrowers under the SVB Credit Facility. The borrowing base is subject to certain eligibility criteria. Availability under the accounts receivable formula based revolving credit facility can also be utilized to issue letters of credit with a $ 12.0 million sub-limit. We may prepay loans under the SVB Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. As of December 30, 2022, available credit under the SVB Credit Facility was $ 22.0 million, reflecting the available limit of $ 25.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $ 3.0 million. We borrowed and repaid $ 24.0 million against the SVB Credit Facility during the six months ended December 30, 2022 and the interest rate was 6.07 %. As of December 30, 2022 there was no borrowing outstanding.
The SVB Credit Facility carries an interest rate computed, at our option, based on either (i) at the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal plus a spread of 0.50 % to 1.50 %, with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio; or (ii) if we satisfy a minimum adjusted quick ratio, a LIBOR rate determined in accordance with the SVB Credit Facility, plus a spread of 2.75 %. Any outstanding Singapore subsidiary borrowed loans shall bear interest at an additional 2.00 % above the applicable prime or LIBOR rate.
The SVB Credit Facility contains quarterly financial covenants including minimum adjusted quick ratio and minimum profitability (EBITDA) requirements. In the event our adjusted quick ratio falls below a certain level, cash received in our accounts with Silicon Valley Bank may be directly applied to reduce outstanding obligations under the SVB Credit Facility. The SVB Credit Facility also imposes certain restrictions on our ability to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates under certain circumstances. Certain of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, are pledged as collateral for the SVB Credit Facility. Upon an event of default, outstanding obligations would be immediately due and payable. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default at a per annum rate of interest equal to 5.00 % above the applicable interest rate. As of December 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility, as amended.
Note 6. Revenue Recognition
Contract Balances, Performance Obligations, and Backlog
The following table provides information about receivables and liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):
17
December 30, 2022 July 1, 2022
Contract Balances
Accounts receivable, net $ 91,371 $ 73,168
Contract Assets $ 53,600 $ 45,857
Capitalized commissions $ 2,120 $ 2,341
Contract Liabilities
Advance payments and unearned revenue $ 38,870 $ 33,740
Unearned revenue, long-term $ 7,824 $ 8,920
Capitalized commissions are classified as both current and long term in included in other assets. Significant changes in contract balances may arise as a result of recognition over time for services, transfer of control for equipment, and periodic payments (both in arrears and in advance).
From time to time, we may experience unforeseen events that could result in a change to the scope or price associated with an arrangement. When such events occur, we update the transaction price and measure of progress for the performance obligation and recognize the change as a cumulative catch-up to revenue. Because of the nature and type of contracts we engage in, the timeframe to completion and satisfaction of current and future performance obligations can shift; however, this will have no impact on our future obligation to bill and collect.
As of December 30, 2022, we had $ 46.7 million in advance payments and unearned revenue and long-term unearned revenue, of which approximately 38 % is expected to be recognized as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2023 and the balance thereafter. During the three and six months ended December 30, 2022 we recognized $ 6.0 million and $ 11.9 million, respectively, of revenue which was included in advance payments and unearned revenue at July 1, 2022.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to our unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $ 115.9 million at December 30, 2022. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately 51 % as revenue during the next 12 months, with the remaining amount to be recognized as revenue within two to five years .
Note 7. Segment and Geographic Information
We operate in one reportable business segment: the design, manufacturing, and sale of a range of wireless networking products, solutions, and services. Our financial performance is regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker who is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
We report revenue by region and country based on the location where our customers accept delivery of our products and services. Revenue by region for the three and six months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was as follows:

Note 8. Equity
Stock Repurchase Program
In November 2021 our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to purchase up to $ 10.0 million of our common stock. As of December 30, 2022, $ 8.0 million remains available and we may choose to suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.
During the first six months of fiscal 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in the open market.
Stock Incentive Programs
As of December 30, 2022, we had one stock incentive plan for our employees and non-employee directors, the 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of share-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units, and performance share awards and units.
Under the 2018 Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date the options are granted using our closing stock price. After vesting, options generally may be exercised within seven years after the date of grant.
Restricted stock units are not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock units issued to employees generally vest three years from the date of grant ( three-year cliff or annually over three years ). Restricted stock units issued to non-executive board members annually generally vest on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.
Vesting of performance share awards and units is subject to the achievement of predetermined financial performance criteria and continued employment through the end of the applicable period. Market-based stock units vest upon meeting certain predetermined share price performance criteria and continued employment through the end of the applicable period.
During the six months ended December 30, 2022, we granted 72,162 restricted stock units, 49,321 market-based stock units and 110,945 stock options to purchase shares of our common stock.

As of December 30, 2022, the accrual balance of $ 1.5 million was in short-term restructuring liabilities on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in the above plans for which we were carrying a provision were positions identified for termination that have not been executed from a restructuring perspective.
Q2 2023 Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan, (the “Q2 2023 Plan”) which is anticipated to generate cost savings from the elimination of 6 roles. The Q2 2023 plan is expected to be implemented through the end of first half of fiscal 2024.
Q1 2023 Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan, (the “Q1 2023 Plan”) from the acquisition of Redline Communications, Inc. (“Redline”). The Q1 2023 Plan which is anticipated to generate cost saving on integration of Redline, entails a reduction in force of approximately 20 employees due to integrating work into existing Aviat teams, is expected to be implemented through the end of fiscal 2023.
20
Q4 2022 Plan
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the “Q4 2022 Plan”) to restructure specific groups to optimize skill sets and align structure to execute on strategic deliverables. The Q4 2022 Plan was anticipated to entail a reduction in force of approximately 11 employees to be implemented through the end of fiscal year 2023, with a certain number of positions being consolidated.
Fiscal 2021 Plan
During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, our Board of Directors approved restructuring plans (the “Fiscal 2021 Plan”) to continue to reduce our operating costs and improve profitability as part of our transformational initiative to optimize our business model and increase efficiencies. We recorded restructuring charges of $ 2.4 million related to the Fiscal 2021 Plan in fiscal 2021. The Fiscal 2021 Plan was anticipated to entail a reduction in force of approximately 30 employees and will be completed through the end of fiscal 2023, with a certain number of positions being consolidated and/or relocated.
Note 10. Acquisition
In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we completed the acquisition of Redline, a leading provider of mission-critical data infrastructure. Acquiring Redline allows Aviat to expand its Private Networks Offering with Private LTE/5G, Unlicensed Wireless Access Solutions, by creating an integrated end-to-end offering for wireless access and transport in the Private Networks segment, leveraging Aviat's sales channel to address a large dollar Private LTE/5G addressable market and increasing Aviat’s reach in mission-critical industrial Private Networks.
The consideration paid by Aviat for this all-cash acquisition was $ 20.4 million. Cash acquired as part of acquisition was $ 4.6 million for total net consideration of $ 15.8 million. A summary of the preliminary allocation, pursuant to the completion of purchase price allocation, of the total purchase consideration is as follows:

Note 11. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates and certain jurisdictions where we cannot recognize tax benefit on current losses. During interim periods, we accrue tax expenses for jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2023.
The determination of our income taxes for the six months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was based on our estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Our tax expense for the six months ended December 30, 2022 was primarily due to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries, including deferred tax expense associated with our acquisition of Redline in July 2022 and the subsequent multi-step restructure plan where the two Redline Communication Canadian corporations converted to ULC companies and then amalgamated by the end of September 2022. The tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries.
We have a number of open income tax audits covering various tax years, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our major tax jurisdictions that are open and subject to potential audits include the U.S., Singapore, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia. The earliest years for these jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. - 2003; Singapore - 2015; Ghana – 2016; Kenya - 2018: Nigeria - 2006; and Saudi Arabia - 2019.
We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for federal, foreign, and state income taxes. Such interest expense was not material for the six months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
On March 11, 2021, the U.S. enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which expands Section 162(m) to cover the next five most highly compensated employees for the taxable year, in addition to the “covered employees” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. We continue to examine the elements of the ARPA and the impact they may have on our future business.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) which includes a new corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted financial statement income of corporations with profits greater than $1 billion, and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases by public corporations effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022. We will continue to evaluate the applicability and effect of the IRA as more guidance is issued.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Orders and Other Commitments
From time to time in the normal course of business, we may enter into purchasing agreements with our suppliers that require us to accept delivery of, and remit full payment for, finished products that we have ordered, finished products that we requested be held as safety stock, and work in process started on our behalf, in the event we cancel or terminate the purchasing agreement. Because these agreements do not specify fixed or minimum quantities, do not specify minimum or variable price provisions, and do not specify the approximate timing of the transaction, and we have no present intention to cancel or terminate any of these agreements, we currently do not believe that we have any future liability under these agreements. We currently rely on a few vendors for substantially all of our inventory purchases. As of December 30, 2022, we had outstanding purchase obligations with our suppliers or contract manufacturers of $ 63.8 million. In addition, we had contractual obligations of approximately $ 3.8 million associated with software licenses as of December 30, 2022.
Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments
Guarantees issued by banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions are contingent commitments issued to guarantee our performance under borrowing arrangements, such as bank overdraft facilities, tax and customs obligations, and similar transactions, or to ensure our performance under customer or vendor contracts. The terms of the guarantees are generally equal to the remaining term of the related debt or other obligations and are generally limited to two years or less. As of December 30, 2022, we had no guarantees applicable to our debt arrangements.
We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letters of credit agreements, and other arrangements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers. As of December 30, 2022, we had commercial commitments of $ 68.3 million outstanding that were not recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated
23
balance sheets. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any significant amounts will be required to be paid on these performance guarantees in the future.
The following table presents details of our commercial commitments:
December 30,
2022
Letters of credit $ 3,026
Bonds 65,229
$ 68,255
Indemnifications
Under the terms of substantially all of our license agreements, we have agreed to defend and pay any final judgment against our customers arising from claims against such customers that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. As of December 30, 2022, we have not received any notice that any customer is subject to an infringement claim arising from the use of our products; we have not received any request to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of our products; and we have not paid any final judgment on behalf of any customer related to an infringement claim arising from the use of our products. Because the outcome of infringement disputes is related to the specific facts of each case and given the lack of previous or current indemnification claims, we cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to our indemnification provisions. As of December 30, 2022, we had not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.
Legal Proceedings
We are subject from time to time to disputes with customers concerning our products and services. From time to time, we may be involved in various other legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of our operations. We are aggressively defending all current litigation matters. Although there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we currently believe that none of these claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We expect to defend each of these disputes vigorously. 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. As a result, 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, if any.
We record accruals for our outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any accrual for loss contingencies associated with such legal claims or litigation discussed above.
Contingent Liabilities
We record a loss contingency as a charge to operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure in the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is required for loss contingencies that do not meet both those conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized. We expense all legal costs incurred to resolve regulatory, legal, and tax matters as incurred.
In March 2016, an enforcement action by the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance was brought against our subsidiary Aviat Networks (India) Private Limited (“Aviat India”) relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables, which originated from 1999 to 2012, within the time frames dictated by the Indian regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. In November 2017, the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance also initiated a similar action against Telsima Communications Private Limited (“Telsima India”), a subsidiary of the Company, relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables which originated from the period prior to our acquisition of Telsima India in February 2009. In
24
September 2019, our directors of Aviat India appeared before the Ministry of Finance Enforcement Directorate. No settlement offers were discussed at the meeting and the matter is still ongoing with no subsequent hearing date currently scheduled as of December 30, 2022. We have accrued an immaterial amount representing the estimated probable loss for which we would settle the matter. We currently cannot form an estimate of the range of loss in excess of our amounts already accrued. If the outcome of this matter is greater than the current immaterial amount accrued, we intend to dispute it vigorously.
Periodically, we review the status of each significant matter to assess the potential financial exposure. If a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we reflect the estimated loss in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred or an asset impaired and whether such loss is reasonably estimable. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
