1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Digi International Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Digi" or "the Company") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements. While these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023 (the "2023 Financial Statements"). We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. The quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Solutions Total
Balance on September 30, 2023 $ 173,957 $ 167,636 $ 341,593

Balance on March 31, 2024 $ 174,357 $ 167,665 $ 342,022
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is quantitatively tested for impairment on an annual basis as of June 30, or more frequently if events or circumstances occur which could indicate impairment. We continue to have two reportable segments, IoT Products & Services and IoT Solutions (see Note 6 ). Our IoT Products & Services segment is structured to include four reporting units, each with a reporting manager: Cellular Routers, Console Servers, OEM Solutions and Infrastructure Management. Following our acquisition of Ventus in November 2021, we have two reporting units within IoT Solutions: SmartSense and Ventus. Each of these segments was tested individually for impairment during our annual impairment test completed in the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2023.
Assumptions and estimates to determine fair values under the income and market approaches are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors. These include external factors such as industry and economic trends. They also include internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts. Changes in circumstances or a potential event could affect the estimated fair values negatively. If our future operating results do not meet current forecasts or if we experience a sustained decline in our market capitalization that is determined to be indicative of a reduction in fair value of one or more of our reporting units within either of our segments, we may be required to record future impairment charges for goodwill.
Digi conducted an analysis as of March 31, 2024 and concluded changes in market conditions from the time of the fiscal 2023 test, conducted as of June 30, 2023, were not indicative of a reduction in fair value below carrying value of any of our reporting units.
Results of our Fiscal 2023 Annual Impairment Test
As of June 30, 2023, we had a total of $ 32.7 million of goodwill for the Cellular Routers reporting unit, $ 57.1 million of goodwill for the Console Servers reporting unit, $ 64.6 million of goodwill for the OEM Solutions reporting unit, $ 20.4 million of goodwill for the Infrastructure Management reporting unit, $ 48.9 million of goodwill for the SmartSense reporting unit and $ 118.6 million of goodwill for the Ventus reporting unit. At June 30, 2023, the fair value of goodwill exceeded the carrying value for all six reporting units and no impairment was recorded.
5. INDEBTEDNESS
On December 7, 2023, Digi entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with BMO Bank N.A. (“BMO”), as administrative and collateral agent, BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc. and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement provides Digi with a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility includes a $ 250 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan”), with an uncommitted accordion feature that provides for additional borrowing capacity of up to the greater of $ 95 million or one hundred percent of trailing twelve month adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"). The Credit Facility also contains a $ 10 million letter of credit sublimit and $ 10 million swingline sub-facility. Digi may use the proceeds of the Credit Facility in the future for general corporate purposes.
Digi borrowed a total of $ 215 million under the Credit Facility to repay all obligations and to pay related fees and expenses under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 22, 2021 (the “Prior Credit Facility”), by and among Digi, as the borrower, BMO, as administrative agent and collateral agent, BMO Capital Markets Corp., as sole lead arranger and bookrunner, and the other lenders from time-to-time party thereto. The Prior Credit Facility consisted of a $ 350 million term loan B secured loan and a $ 35 million revolving credit facility that included a $ 10 million letter of credit subfacility and $ 10 million swingline subfacility.

Table of Contents
5. INDEBTEDNESS (CONTINUED)
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR with a floor of 0.00 % for an interest period of one, three, or six months as selected by Digi, reset at the end of the selected interest period (or a replacement benchmark rate if Term SOFR is no longer available) plus the applicable margin or a base rate plus the applicable margin. The base rate is determined by reference to the highest of BMO’s prime rate, the rate determined by BMO to be the average rate of Federal funds in the secondary market plus 0.50 %, or one-month SOFR plus 1.00 %. The applicable margin for loans under the Credit Facility is in a range of 1.75 % to 2.75 % for Term SOFR loans and 0.75 % to 1.75 % for base rate loans, depending on Digi’s total net leverage ratio. All borrowings in the period were made at Term SOFR for a one-month interest election period plus an applicable margin of 2.50 %. Our weighted average interest rate for our Credit Facility was 7.92 % as of March 31, 2024.
In addition to paying interest on the outstanding principal, Digi is required to pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments under the Credit Facility. The commitment fee is between 0.20 % and 0.35 % depending on Digi’s total net leverage ratio. Our weighted average Revolving Loan commitment fee was 0.30 % as of March 31, 2024. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the property of Digi and its domestic subsidiaries.
The debt issuance costs and remaining balance under the Prior Credit Facility totaling $ 9.7 million at December 7, 2023 were written off and included in other expenses upon the entry into the Credit Agreement. Digi incurred an additional $ 1.3 million in debt issuance costs upon entry into the Credit Agreement, with this amount amortized over the term of the Credit Agreement and reported in interest expense.
The Revolving Loan is due in a lump sum payment at maturity December 7, 2028, if any amounts are drawn. The fair value of the Revolving Loan approximated carrying value at March 31, 2024.
The following table is a summary of our long-term indebtedness at March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 (in thousands):
Balance on March 31, 2024 Balance on September 30, 2023
Revolving Loan $ 173,000 $ —
Term loan — 213,625
Total loans 173,000 213,625
Less unamortized issuance costs ( 1,249 ) ( 10,051 )
Less current maturities of long-term debt — ( 15,523 )
Total long-term debt, net of current portion $ 171,751 $ 188,051
Covenants and Security Interest
The Credit Agreement requires Digi to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.00 to 1.00, with certain exceptions for a covenant holiday of up to 3.50 to 1.00 after certain material acquisitions. The total net leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of Digi’s consolidated total funded indebtedness minus unrestricted cash as of such date up to a maximum amount not to exceed $50 million, to consolidated EBITDA for such period. The Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability of Digi and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of significant assets, make certain investments, including any acquisitions other than permitted acquisitions, make certain restricted payments, enter into sale and leaseback transactions or grant additional liens on its assets, subject to certain limitations. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have two reportable segments: IoT Products & Services and IoT Solutions. IoT Products & Services is structured to include four operating segments, each with a segment manager. These four operating segments are Cellular Routers, Console Servers, OEM Solutions and Infrastructure Management. IoT Products & Services derives revenue from the sale of connectivity products and solutions. These products and solutions include enclosed router devices in Cellular Routers, enclosed devices for edge computing and data center applications in Console Servers, chip modules in OEM Solutions and sensors in Infrastructure Management, as well as our cloud based remote manager application and extended support and monitoring of devices sold. IoT Solutions is comprised of two operating segments, SmartSense and Ventus. IoT Solutions derives revenue from the sale of monitoring and networking service solutions. These solutions include wireless condition-based monitoring services in SmartSense and Managed Network-as-a-Service ("MNaaS") in Ventus.
The operating segments included in each reportable segment have similar qualitative and quantitative factors, which allow us to aggregate them under each reportable segment. The qualitative factors include similar nature of products and services, production process, type or class of customers and methods used to distribute the products. The quantitative factors include similar economic characteristics.
Our CEO is our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The measure the CODM uses to measure profitability within our IoT Products & Services reportable segment is segment operating income and segment operating income as a percentage of revenue. IoT Products & Services segment operating income excludes certain costs that are directly attributable to reportable segments, which are unallocated to the operating segments. These costs are primarily inventory adjustments on component balances that are common and shared by all operating segments within the IoT Products & Services reportable segment.
The measure the CODM uses to measure profitability within our IoT Solutions reportable segment is segment gross profit and segment gross profit as a percentage of revenue. IoT Solutions segment gross profit excludes certain costs that are directly attributable to reportable segments, which are unallocated to the operating segments. These costs are primarily inventory adjustments on component balances that are common and shared by all operating segments within the IoT Solutions reportable segment.
Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company discovered a disclosure error related to the measure of profit and loss previously disclosed. ASC 280-10-50-22 requires the disclosure of the measure of profit or loss as reviewed by the CODM. Our CODM reviews the measures of profit for each operating segment excluding certain costs that are directly attributable to reportable segments, which are unallocated to the operating segments. As a result, the Company has corrected the disclosure to separately disclose the unallocated expenses outside of the IoT Products & Services and IoT Solutions segments gross profit and operating income (loss) amounts. The errors have no impact on the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows. Management has evaluated the misstatement and concluded it was not material to prior periods. The comparable second fiscal quarter 2023 amounts have been corrected to reflect the correct amounts for comparative purposes and the information presented below includes the corrected disclosure for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023. The Company will also correct previously reported financial information for such immaterial errors in future filings, as applicable (see "Part II, Item 5. Other Information" below for additional information).

Contract Balances
Contract Related Assets
Our contract related assets consist of subscriber assets. Subscriber assets are equipment that we provide to customers pursuant to subscription-based contracts. In these cases, we retain the ownership of the equipment a customer uses and charge the customer subscription fees to receive our end-to-end solutions. The total net book value of subscriber assets of $ 18.5 million and $ 16.6 million as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, are included in property, equipment and improvements, net. Depreciation expense for these subscriber assets, which is included in cost of sales, was $ 1.2 million and $ 0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Depreciation expense for these subscriber assets, which is included in cost of sales, was $ 2.2 million and $ 1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We depreciate the cost of this equipment over its useful life.
Contract Assets
Contract assets at Digi consist of products and services that have been fulfilled, but for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Our contract asset balances were immaterial as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of unearned revenue related to annual or multi-year contracts for subscription services and related implementation fees, as well as product sales that have been invoiced, but not yet fulfilled. The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Customers are invoiced for subscription services on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
Our contract liabilities were $ 38.0 million and $ 25.7 million at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
There were contract liability balances of $ 35.0 million and $ 23.0 million balances as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Of these balances, Digi recognized $ 8.3 million and $ 5.9 million as revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were contract liability balances of $ 27.9 million and $ 21.6 million balances as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Digi recognized $ 13.3 million and $ 10.6 million as revenue in the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

7. REVENUE (CONTINUED)
Remaining Performance Obligation
As of March 31, 2024, we had approximately $ 151.2 million of remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original duration of one year or more. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately $ 67.2 million of remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months. We expect to recognize revenue from the remaining performance obligations over a range of two to five years .
8. INCOME TAXES
Our income tax expense was $ 0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024. Included in this was a net tax liability of $ 0.1 million discretely related to the six months ended March 31, 2024. This liability primarily was the result of book stock compensation in excess of recognized tax benefits.
Our effective tax rate will vary based on a variety of factors. These factors include our overall profitability, the geographical mix of income before taxes and related statutory tax rate in each jurisdiction, and tax items discretely related to the period, such as tax impacts of stock compensation, as there are no open audits during the period. We may record other benefits or expenses in the future that are specific to a particular quarter such as expiration of statutes of limitation, the completion of tax audits, or legislation that is enacted in both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is (in thousands):
Unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2023 $ 3,162
Decreases related to:
Expiration of statute of limitations ( 32 )
Unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 $ 3,130
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2024 that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $ 3.0 million, after considering the impact of interest and deferred benefit items. We expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $ 0.4 million over the next 12 months.

10. LEASES
All of our leases are operating leases and primarily consist of leases for office space. For any lease with an initial term in excess of 12 months, the related lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as either operating or financing leases at the inception of an agreement where it is determined that a lease exists. We have lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components. We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Instead we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments. These assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future payments over the lease term at the commencement date. We generally use a collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date, including the lease term, in determining the present value of future payments. When determining our right-of-use assets, we generally do not include options to extend or terminate the lease unless it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
Our leases typically require payment of real estate taxes and common area maintenance and insurance. These components comprise the majority of our variable lease cost and are excluded from the present value of our lease obligations. Fixed payments may contain predetermined fixed rent escalations. We recognize the related rent expense on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.
The following table shows the supplemental balance sheet information related to our leases (in thousands):

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We lease certain of our buildings and equipment under non-cancelable lease agreements. Please refer to Note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
As previously disclosed, Data Logger Solutions, LLC ("Data Loggers") brought suit in Delaware Superior Court against us and our subsidiary Digi SmartSense, LLC on October 23, 2020. The suit alleges that Data Loggers has not been paid certain commissions it believes it is owed and will continue to be owed under a Reseller Agreement between Data Loggers and TempAlert. SmartSense is the successor of interest of TempAlert and terminated the Reseller Agreement in 2019. Data Loggers claims it is entitled to actual, speculative and punitive damages in connection with its allegations. In March 2024, a jury found Digi liable for breach of contract and awarded Data Loggers damages of approximately $ 11.6 million. Delaware law also entitles Data Loggers to interest on this award pursuant to a statutory calculation. Each party has filed post-trial motions with respect to the jury’s verdict. Our motions seek to have the case retried or to remit the award of damages. The plaintiffs are seeking to expand the award of damages for attorney’s fees and additional interest. While these post-trial motions are pending, each party’s right to appeal is stayed and remains in place. Pursuant to ASC 450 we have accrued a $ 6.3 million liability with respect to this case. The accrual reflects a reasonable estimate of probable loss based on information currently available to us. The ultimate loss, if any, to Digi could be materially different from the amount we have accrued and we cannot predict or estimate the duration or ultimate outcome of this matter.
In addition to the matters discussed above, in the normal course of business, we are presently, and expect in the future to be, subject to various claims and litigation with third parties such as non-practicing intellectual property entities as well as customers, vendors and/or employees. There can be no assurance that any claims by third parties, if proven to have merit, will not materially adversely affect our business, liquidity or financial condition.
12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based awards granted in the first fiscal quarter of 2024 and 2023 were granted under the amended and restated 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"). Shares subject to awards under the 2021 Plan or any prior plans that are forfeited, canceled, returned to us for failure to satisfy vesting requirements, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without payment also will be available for grant under the 2021 Plan. The authority to grant options under the 2021 Plan and set other terms and conditions rests with the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 1,870,487 shares available for future grants under the 2021 Plan.
Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $ 0.9 million and $ 1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
Our equity plans and corresponding forms of award agreements generally have provisions allowing employees to elect to satisfy tax withholding obligations through the delivery of shares. When employees make this election, we retain a portion of shares issuable under the award. Tax withholding obligations are otherwise fulfilled by the employee paying cash to us for the withholding. During the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, our employees forfeited 106,227 shares and 90,985 shares, respectively, in order to satisfy withholding tax obligations of $ 2.7 million and $ 3.7 million, respectively.
We sponsor an Employee Stock Purchase Plan as amended and restated as of December 10, 2019, October 29, 2013, December 4, 2009 and November 27, 2006 (the "ESPP"), covering all domestic employees with at least 90 days of continuous service and who are customarily employed at least 20 hours per week. The ESPP allows eligible participants the right to purchase common stock on a quarterly basis at the lower of 85 % of the market price at the beginning or end of each three-month offering period. The most recent amendments to the ESPP, ratified by our stockholders on January 29, 2020, increased the total number of shares that may be purchased under the ESPP to 3,425,000 . ESPP contributions by employees were $ 1.1 million and $ 1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Pursuant to the ESPP, 50,171 and 39,979 common shares were issued to employees during the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Shares are issued under the ESPP from treasury stock. As of March 31, 2024, 420,056 common shares were available for future issuances under the ESPP.

12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
The intrinsic value of an option is the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds its exercise price. The total intrinsic value of all options exercised during the six months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $ 1.8 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively.
The following table shows the weighted average fair value, which was determined based upon the fair value of each option on the grant date utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the related assumptions:
Six months ended March 31,
2024 2023
Weighted average per option grant date fair value $ 12.44 $ 19.92
Assumptions used for option grants:
Risk free interest rate 4.45 % - 4.68 %
3.77 % - 3.98 %
Expected term 6.00 years 6.00 years
Expected volatility 46 % 46 %
Weighted average volatility 46 % 46 %
Expected dividend yield — —
The fair value of each option award granted during the periods presented was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the above table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of our stock. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination information within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the vesting period and historical information and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate used is the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond rate in effect at the time of the grant whose maturity equals the expected term of the option.
As of March 31, 2024, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $ 3.4 million and the related weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.3 years.
Non-vested Stock Units
The following table presents a summary of our non-vested restricted stock units and performance stock units as of March 31, 2024 and changes during the six months then ended (in thousands, except per common share amounts):
