B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
B ASIS OF P RESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations; however, in the opinion of management the financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary for fair presentation. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2020 which are contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 18, 2020. The results for the first quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation .
7
All references to the first quarter of fiscal 2021 are to the quarter ended October 2, 2020. There were 13-weeks during the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively.
U SE OF E STIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
B USINESS C OMBINATIONS
The Company utilizes the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, Business Combinations , (“ASC 805”), for all transactions and events in which it obtains control over one or more other businesses, to recognize the fair value of all assets and liabilities acquired, even if less than one hundred percent ownership is acquired, and in establishing the acquisition date fair value as the measurement date for all assets and liabilities assumed. The Company also utilizes ASC 805 for the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations.
F OREIGN C URRENCY
Local currencies are the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Spain and Canada. The accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and at average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. The related translation adjustments are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) in shareholders’ equity. Gains (losses) resulting from non-U.S. currency transactions are included in Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and were immaterial for all periods presented.
R EVENUE R ECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , (“ASC 606”). Mercury is a leading technology company serving the aerospace and defense industry, positioned at the intersection of high-tech and defense. Revenues are derived from the sales of products that are grouped into one of the following three categories: (i) components; (ii) modules and sub-assemblies; and (iii) integrated subsystems. The Company also generates revenues from the performance of services, including systems engineering support, consulting, maintenance and other support, testing and installation. Each promised good or service within a contract is accounted for separately under the guidance of ASC 606 if they are distinct. Promised goods or services not meeting the criteria for being a distinct performance obligation are bundled into a single performance obligation with other goods or services that together meet the criteria for being distinct. The appropriate allocation of the transaction price and recognition of revenue is then determined for the bundled performance obligation.
Revenue recognized at a point in time generally relates to contracts that include a combination of components, modules and sub-assemblies, integrated subsystems and related system integration or other services. Contracts with distinct performance obligations recognized at a point in time, with or without an allocation of the transaction price, totaled 64 % and 73 % of revenues for the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively.
The Company also engages in long-term contracts for development, production and service activities and recognizes revenue for performance obligations over time. These long-term contracts involve the design, development, manufacture, or modification of complex modules and sub-assemblies or integrated subsystems and related services. Long-term contracts include both fixed-price and cost reimbursable contracts. The Company’s cost reimbursable contracts typically include cost-plus fixed fee and time and material contracts.
Total revenue recognized under long-term contracts over time was 36 % and 27 % of total revenues for the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively.
The Company generally does not provide its customers with rights of product return other than those related to assurance warranty provisions that permit repair or replacement of defective goods over a period of 12 to 36 months. The Company accrues for anticipated warranty costs upon product shipment. The Company does not consider activities related to such assurance warranties, if any, to be a separate performance obligation. The Company does offer separately priced extended warranties which generally range from 12 to 36 months that are treated as separate performance obligations. The transaction price allocated to extended warranties is recognized over time in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract.
All revenues are reported net of government assessed taxes (e.g., sales taxes or value-added taxes). Refer to Note L for disaggregation of revenue for the period.
8
A CCOUNTS R ECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable, net, represents amounts that have been billed and are currently due from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended as necessary. The allowance is based upon an assessment of the customers’ credit worthiness, reasonable forecasts about the future, history with the customer, and the age of the receivable balance. The Company typically invoices a customer upon shipment of the product (or completion of a service) for contracts where revenue is recognized at a point in time. For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, the invoicing events are typically based on specified performance obligation deliverables or milestone events, or quantifiable measures of performance.
C ONTRACT B ALANCES
Contract balances result from the timing of revenue recognized, billings and cash collections, and the generation of contract assets and liabilities. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer and the right to payment is not subject to the passage of time. Contract assets are presented as unbilled receivables and costs in excess of billings on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities consist of deferred product revenue, billings in excess of revenues, deferred service revenue, and customer advances. Deferred product revenue represents amounts that have been invoiced to customers, but are not yet recognizable as revenue because the Company has not satisfied its performance obligations under the contract. Billings in excess of revenues represents milestone billing contracts where the billings of the contract exceed recognized revenues. Deferred service revenue primarily represents amounts invoiced to customers for annual maintenance contracts or extended warranty contracts, which are recognized over time in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. Customer advances represent deposits received from customers on an order. Contract liabilities are included in deferred revenue and the long-term portion of deferred revenue is included within other non-current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract balances are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis.
The contract asset balances were $ 108,754 and $ 90,289 as of October 2, 2020 and July 3, 2020, respectively. The contract asset balance increased due to growth in revenue recognized and timing of billable events under long-term contracts over time during the first quarter ended October 2, 2020. The contract liability balances were $ 27,655 and $ 19,892 as of October 2, 2020 and July 3, 2020, respectively. The increase was due to a greater number of long-term contracts with advanced billings across multiple programs.
Revenue recognized for the first quarter ended October 2, 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at July 3, 2020 was $ 9,030 . Revenue recognized for the first quarter ended September 27, 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance at June 30, 2019 was $ 5,376 .
R EMAINING P ERFORMANCE O BLIGATIONS
The Company includes in its computation of remaining performance obligations customer orders for which it has accepted signed sales orders. The definition of remaining performance obligations excludes contracts with original expected durations of less than one year, as well as those contracts that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate the order with no substantial penalty, even if the Company’s historical experience indicates the likelihood of cancellation or termination is remote. As of October 2, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $ 287,526 . The Company expects to recognize approximately 72 % of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.
W EIGHTED -A VERAGE S HARES
Weighted-average shares were calculated as follows:
First Quarters Ended
October 2, 2020 September 27, 2019
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 54,883 54,388
Effect of dilutive equity instruments 456 690
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 55,339 55,078
Equity instruments to purchase 203 and 154 shares of common stock were not included in the calculation of diluted net earnings per share for the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively, because the equity instruments were anti-dilutive.

R ECENTLY I SSUED A CCOUNTING P RONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715) Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans , an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. For public business entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The ASU requires retrospective adoption and permits early adoption for all entities. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocations and deferred tax liabilities for equity method investments and add guidance as to whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination or a separate transaction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
R ECENTLY A DOPTED A CCOUNTING P RONOUNCEMENTS
Effective July 4, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. This ASU requires an entity to record an allowance for credit losses for certain financial instruments and financial assets, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company will rely on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount and will exercise judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in measurement of the credit losses. This adoption did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Effective July 4, 2020 the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . This ASU eliminates the requirement to measure the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all assets and liabilities within that unit, the Step 2 test, from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited by the amount of goodwill in that reporting unit. This adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Effective July 4, 2020 the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) , an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The ASU provides guidance to determine whether to capitalize implementation costs of a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract or expense as incurred. Costs of arrangements that do not include a software license should be accounted for as a service contract and expensed as incurred. This adoption did not have an impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

C. Acquisitions
A MERICAN P ANEL C ORPORATION A CQUISITION
On September 23, 2019, the Company acquired American Panel Corporation (“APC”). Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, APC is a leading innovator in large area display technology for the aerospace and defense market. APC's capabilities are deployed on a wide range of next-generation platforms. The Company acquired APC for an all cash purchase price of $ 100,000 , prior to net working capital and net debt adjustments. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand.
The following table presents the net purchase price and the fair values of the assets and liabilities of APC:
Amounts
Consideration transferred
Cash paid at closing $ 100,826
Working capital and net debt adjustment ( 5,952 )
Liabilities assumed 2,454
Less cash acquired ( 826 )
Net purchase price $ 96,502
Fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash $ 826
Accounts receivable 3,726
Inventory 11,233
Fixed assets 690
Other current and non-current assets 3,494
Accounts payable ( 1,554 )
Accrued expenses ( 1,457 )
Other current and non-current liabilities ( 5,852 )
Fair value of net tangible assets acquired 11,106
Fair value of identifiable intangible assets 33,200
Goodwill 53,022
Fair value of net assets acquired 97,328
Less cash acquired ( 826 )
Net purchase price $ 96,502
On September 23, 2020, the measurement period for APC expired. The identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships of $ 20,600 with a useful life of 11 years, completed technology of $ 10,400 with a useful life of 11 years and backlog of $ 2,200 with a useful life of two years .
The goodwill of $ 53,022 largely reflects the potential synergies and expansion of the Company's offerings across product lines and markets complementary to the Company's existing products and markets. The goodwill from this acquisition is reported under the Mission reporting unit. Since APC was a qualified subchapter S subsidiary, the acquisition is treated as an asset purchase for tax purposes. The Company has estimated the tax value of the intangible assets from this transaction and is amortizing the amount over 15 years for tax purposes. As of October 2, 2020, the Company had $ 50,649 of goodwill deductible for tax purposes.
D. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 2, 2020:
Fair Value Measurements
October 2, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Assets:
U.S. equity securities $ 1,964 $ 1,964 $ — $ —
Total $ 1,964 $ 1,964 $ — $ —
11
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, restricted cash, accounts receivable and payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of a cost-method investment of $ 43 . The change in fair value of these U.S. equity securities was the result of an observable price change during the first quarter ended October 2, 2020. Its fair value is based on a quoted price of identical instruments in an active market and is included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 2, 2020. The loss on investments were included within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the first quarter ended October 2, 2020.
E. Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value, and consists of materials, labor and overhead. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses consistent methodologies to evaluate inventory for net realizable value. Once an item is written down, the value becomes the new inventory cost basis. The Company reduces the value of inventory for excess and obsolete inventory, consisting of on-hand inventory in excess of estimated usage. The excess and obsolete inventory evaluation is based upon assumptions about future demand, historical usage, product mix and possible alternative uses. Inventory was comprised of the following:
October 2, 2020 July 3, 2020
Raw materials $ 124,628 $ 111,225
Work in process 57,066 49,647
Finished goods 24,350 17,221
Total $ 206,044 $ 178,093
The $ 27,951 increase in inventory was due to an increase in overall demand, especially for larger, more complex integrated subsystems, and advanced purchases intended to mitigate potential disruptions to the supply chain or unforeseen changes in customer behavior resulting from the COVID pandemic.
F. Goodwill
During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company reorganized its internal reporting unit structure to align with the Company's market and brand strategy as well as promote scale as the organization continues to grow.
In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), the Company determines its reporting units based upon whether discrete financial information is available, if management regularly reviews the operating results of the component, the nature of the products offered to customers and the market characteristics of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is considered to be an operating segment or one level below an operating segment also known as a component. Component level financial information is reviewed by management across three divisions: Processing, Microelectronics and Mission. Accordingly, these were determined to be the Company's new reporting units.
The internal reorganization and change in reporting units qualified as a triggering event and required goodwill to be tested for impairment. As required by ASC 350, the Company tested goodwill for impairment immediately before and after the reorganization. As a result of these analyses, it was determined that goodwill was not impaired before or after the reorganization.
In the first quarter ended October 2, 2020, the Company assigned goodwill to the new reporting units based on the relative fair value of transferred operations.
The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the first quarter ended October 2, 2020:
Total
Balance at July 3, 2020 $ 614,076
Goodwill adjustment for the APC acquisition 346
Balance at October 2, 2020 $ 614,422
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.

G. Restructuring
Restructuring and other charges are typically related to acquisitions and organizational redesign programs initiated as part of discrete post-acquisition integration activities. During the first quarter ended October 2, 2020, the Company incurred net restructuring and other charges of $ 1,297 primarily related to severance costs associated with the elimination of 19 positions, predominantly in the manufacturing, sales and R&D functions. These charges related to talent shifts and resource redundancy resulting from the internal reorganization the Company completed in August which created better alignment with its market and brand strategy as well as promote scale as the Company continues to grow.
All of the restructuring and other charges are classified as Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and any remaining severance obligations are expected to be paid within the next twelve months. The restructuring liability is classified as Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table presents the detail of activity for the Company’s restructuring plans:

H. Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $ 2,198 and an income tax benefit of $ 2,018 on income before income taxes of $ 17,996 and $ 17,229 for the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively.
During the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, the Company recognized a discrete tax benefit of $ 2,480 and $ 6,127 , respectively, related to excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. The Company also recognized a discrete tax benefit of $ 443 related to foreign tax rate changes during the first quarter ended September 27, 2019.
The effective tax rate for the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019 differed from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to Federal and State research and development credits, excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, non-deductible compensation and state taxes.
During the first quarter ended October 2, 2020, there were no material changes to the Company's unrecognized tax positions.
I. Debt
R EVOLVING C REDIT F ACILITY
On September 28, 2018, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to increase and extend the borrowing capacity to a $ 750,000 , 5-year revolving credit line (the “Revolver”), with the maturity extended to September 28, 2023. As of October 2, 2020, the Company's outstanding balance of unamortized deferred financing costs was $ 4,033 , which is being amortized to Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the term of the Revolver.
As of October 2, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under the Revolver and there were no outstanding borrowings against the Revolver. There were outstanding letters of credit of $ 904 as of October 2, 2020.
J. Employee Benefit Plan
P ENSION P LAN
The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) for its Swiss employees, which is administered by an independent pension fund. The Plan is mandated by Swiss law and meets the criteria for a defined benefit plan under ASC 715, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (“ASC 715”), because participants of the Plan are entitled to a defined rate of return on contributions made. The independent pension fund is a multi-employer plan with unrestricted joint liability for all participating companies for which the Plan’s overfunding or underfunding is allocated to each participating company based on an allocation key determined by the Plan.
13
The Company recognizes a net asset or liability for the Plan equal to the difference between the projected benefit obligation of the Plan and the fair value of the Plan’s assets as required by ASC 715. The funded status may vary from year to year due to changes in the fair value of the Plan’s assets and variations on the underlying assumptions of the projected benefit obligation of the Plan. The Plan's funded status at October 2, 2020 was a net liability of $ 12,337 , which is recorded in Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded a net gain of $ 31 and $ 7 in AOCL during the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively. The Company recognized net periodic benefit costs of $ 413 and $ 296 associated with the Plan for the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively. The Company's total expected employer contributions to the Plan during fiscal 2021 are $ 957 .
K. Stock-Based Compensation
S TOCK I NCENTIVE P LANS
The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) is 2,862 shares, with an additional 710 shares rolled into the 2018 Plan that were available for future grant under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2005 Plan”) at the time of shareholder approval of the 2018 Plan. The 2018 Plan replaced the 2005 Plan. The shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Plan will continue to be increased by any future cancellations, forfeitures or terminations (other than by exercise) of awards under the 2005 Plan. The foregoing does not affect any outstanding awards under the 2005 Plan, which remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and deferred stock awards to employees and non-employees. All stock options are granted with an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and the options generally have a term of seven years . There were 1,698 shares available for future grant under the 2018 Plan at October 2, 2020. On October 28, 2020, the Shareholders of the Company approved 3,000 shares to be added to the 2018 Plan.
As part of the Company's ongoing annual equity grant program for employees, the Company grants performance-based restricted stock awards to certain executives and employees pursuant to the 2018 Plan. Performance awards vest based on the requisite service period subject to the achievement of specific financial performance targets. Based on the performance targets, some of these awards require graded vesting which results in more rapid expense recognition compared to traditional time-based vesting over the same vesting period. The Company monitors the probability of achieving the performance targets on a quarterly basis and may adjust periodic stock compensation expense accordingly based on its determination of the likelihood for reaching targets. The performance targets generally include the achievement of internal performance targets in relation to a peer group of companies.
E MPLOYEE S TOCK P URCHASE P LAN
The aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the Company’s 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended and restated (“ESPP”), is 1,800 shares.

L. Operating Segment, Geographic Information and Significant Customers
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise evaluated regularly by the Company's CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company reorganized its internal reporting unit structure to align with the Company's market and brand strategy as well as promote scale as the organization continues to grow. The Company evaluated this reorganization under ASC 280 to determine whether this change has impacted the Company's single operating and reportable segment. The Company concluded this change had no effect given the CODM continues to evaluate and manage the Company on the basis of one operating and reportable segment. The Company utilized the management approach for determining its operating segment in accordance with ASC 280.
The geographic distribution of the Company’s revenues as determined by country in which the Company's legal subsidiary is domiciled is summarized as follows:

The Company offers a broad family of products designed to meet the full range of requirements in compute-intensive, signal processing, image processing and command and control applications. To maintain a competitive advantage, the Company seeks to leverage technology investments across multiple product lines and product solutions.
The Company’s products are typically compute-intensive and require extremely high bandwidth and high throughput. These systems often must also meet significant SWaP constraints for use in aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, ships and other platforms and be ruggedized for use in harsh environments. The Company's products transform the massive streams of digital data created in these applications into usable information in real time. The systems can scale from a few processors to thousands of processors.
In recent years, the Company completed a series of acquisitions that changed its technological capabilities, applications and end markets. As these acquisitions and changes occurred, the Company's proportion of revenue derived from the sale of components in different technological areas, and modules, sub-assemblies and integrated subsystems which combine technologies into more complex diverse products has shifted. The following tables present revenue consistent with the Company's strategy of expanding its technological capabilities and program content. As additional information related to the Company’s products by end user, application, product grouping and/or platform is attained, the categorization of these products can vary over time. When this occurs, the Company reclassifies revenue by end user, application, product grouping and/or platform for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the underlying trends of results within each revenue category.
