Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the ARRIS results of operations are reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from April 4, 2019, the date of acquisition, through September 30, 2019.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the 2018 Annual Report).

Change in Accounting Policy
Effective April 1, 2019, the Company made a voluntary change in accounting principle related to its classification of internal handling costs to prepare goods for shipment. Historically, the Company presented these handling costs within selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). Under the new policy, the Company is presenting these expenses within cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes that this change is preferable as the classification in cost of sales better reflects the costs of generating the related revenue and results in more meaningful presentation of gross margin. Additionally, this presentation enhances the comparability of the Company’s financial statements with industry peers and provides more consistency in the treatment of all shipping and handling costs. The accounting policy change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. There was
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2018 Annual Report. Other than the enhancements described below to revenue recognition policies as a result of the Acquisition, the changes described below to lease policies as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases and the change in accounting principle related to the classification of internal handling costs described above, there were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company’s revenue is generated from product or equipment sales; bundled sales arrangements inclusive of product, software and services; and custom design and installation services. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations in a contract are satisfied through the transfer of control of the good or service at the amount of consideration expected to be received. The following are required before revenue is recognized:
|
|
• |
Identify the contract with the customer. A variety of arrangements are considered contracts; however, these are usually the Master Purchase Agreement and amendments or customer purchase orders. |
|
|
• |
Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Performance obligations are identified as promised goods or services in an arrangement that are distinct. |
|
|
• |
Determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The consideration may include fixed or variable amounts or both. |
|
|
• |
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. |
|
|
• |
Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control of the promised goods or services has occurred. This is either at a point in time or over time. |
For product sales, revenue is recognized when control of the product has transferred to the customer, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products and the related software are considered one performance obligation.
License contracts include revenue recognized for the licensing of intellectual property, including software, sold separately without products. Functional intellectual property licenses do not meet the criteria for revenue to be recognized over time and revenue is most commonly recognized upon delivery of the license/software to the customer.

(In millions, unless otherwise noted)
Certain customer transactions may be project based and include multiple performance obligations based on the bundling of equipment, software and services. When a multiple performance obligation arrangement exists, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations, and revenue is recognized on a relative standalone selling price basis upon transfer of control of each deliverable. To determine the standalone selling price, the Company first looks to establish the standalone selling price through an observable price when the good or service is sold separately in similar circumstances. If the standalone selling price cannot be established through an observable price, the Company will make an estimate based on market conditions, customer specific factors and customer class. The Company may use a combination of approaches to estimate the standalone selling price.
For performance obligations recognized over time, judgment is required to evaluate assumptions, including the total estimated costs to determine progress towards completion of the performance obligation and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the entire estimated costs are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
Other customer contract types include a variety of post-contract support services offerings, including:
|
|
• |
Maintenance and support services provided under annual service-level agreements with the Company’s customers. These services represent stand-ready obligations that are recognized over time (on a straight-line basis over the contract period) because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the services are performed. |
|
|
• |
Professional services and other similar services consist primarily of “Day 2” services to help customers maximize their utilization of deployed systems. The services are recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the service as the services are performed. |
|
|
• |
Installation services relate to the routine installation of equipment ordered by the customer at the customer’s site and are distinct performance obligations from delivery of the related hardware. The associated revenues are recognized over time as the services are provided. |
Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to be entitled based on customer contracts. For sales to distributors, system integrators and value-added resellers, revenue is adjusted for variable consideration amounts, including but not limited to estimated discounts, returns, rebates and distributor price protection programs. These estimates are determined based upon historical experience, contract terms, inventory levels in the distributor channel and other related factors. Adjustments to variable consideration estimates are recorded when circumstances indicate revisions may be necessary.
A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on project or services arrangements.
Unbilled receivables are recorded when revenues are recognized in advance of invoice issuance. A contract asset is any portion of unbilled receivables for which the right to consideration is conditional on a factor other than the passage of time, which is common for certain project contract performance obligations. These assets are presented on a combined basis with accounts receivable and are converted to accounts receivable once the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional, which varies by contract but is generally based on achieving certain acceptance milestones. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset would be one year or less.
The Company includes shipping and handling costs billed to customers in net sales and includes the costs incurred to transport product to customers as well as certain internal handling costs, which relate to activities to prepare goods for shipment, as cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred after control is transferred to the customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are not accounted for as separate revenue obligations.

Leases
The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Right of use assets related to operating type leases are reported in other noncurrent assets and the present value of remaining lease obligations is reported in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. CommScope does not currently have any financing type leases.
Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rates applicable to the economic environment and the duration of the lease, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. The right of use asset for operating leases is measured using the lease liability adjusted for the impact of lease payments made prior to commencement, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and any asset impairments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company remeasures and reallocates the consideration in a lease when there is a modification of the lease that is not accounted for as a separate contract. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in the lease term or a change in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise a lease option. The Company assesses right of use assets for impairment in accordance with its long-lived asset impairment policy.
The Company accounts for lease agreements with contractually required lease and non-lease components on a combined basis. Lease payments made for cancellable leases, variable amounts that are not based on an observable index and lease agreements with an original duration of less than twelve months are recorded directly to lease expense.
Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions
Net sales to Comcast Corporation (Comcast) accounted for
Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for
The Company relies on sole suppliers or a limited group of suppliers for certain key components, subassemblies and modules and a limited group of contract manufacturers to manufacture a significant portion of its products. Any disruption or termination of these arrangements could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in certain pending legal matters in the normal course of business. The Company may also be called upon to indemnify certain customers for costs related to products or services sold to such customers. Management believes none of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition.
On October 15, 2018, the Company intervened as a defendant in Fractus, S.A. (Fractus) v. CommScope Technologies LLC, T-Mobile U.S., Inc., T-Mobile USA, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc. and Cello Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, which is a consolidated patent infringement action brought by Fractus, in the United States (U.S.) District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the defendants infringed on Fractus’ patents on cellular base station antenna technologies (the Fractus Litigation). The jury trial began in October 2019. In order to minimize risk, and without admitting liability, on
In addition, the Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, discharge, disposal and remediation of hazardous materials. Compliance with current laws and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Asset Impairments
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of the reporting unit may exceed its fair value. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment due to a change in reporting units in the Connectivity segment. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing for goodwill under the Connectivity segment reporting unit structure immediately before the change and determined that no impairment existed. The Company reallocated goodwill to the new reporting units and performed impairment testing for goodwill immediately after the change and determined no impairment existed.
During the second quarter of 2019, the Company determined that indicators of possible goodwill impairment existed for the reporting units from the recently acquired ARRIS business. Since the closing of the Acquisition on April 4, 2019, the ARRIS reporting units (CPE, N&C and Ruckus) had experienced challenges that impacted the Company’s performance. These challenges included declines in spending by cable operator customers that resulted in declines in net sales and operating income for these reporting units and the loss of key leaders of these reporting units following the Acquisition. Certain of these challenges were expected to persist throughout the remainder of 2019 and were expected to impact management’s ability to grow these businesses at the rate that was originally estimated when the Acquisition was closed. The Company performed goodwill impairment testing during the second quarter of 2019 and determined that no impairment existed.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at estimated fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are evaluated each reporting period for impairment based on a qualitative assessment and are then measured at fair value if an impairment is determined to exist. Other than certain assets impaired as a result of restructuring actions, there were

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss), less any dividends and deemed dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The numerator in diluted EPS is based on the basic EPS numerator adjusted to add back any dividends and deemed dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to antidilution requirements. The denominator used in diluted EPS is based on the basic EPS computation plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares related to the Convertible Preferred Stock and equity-based compensation plans, subject to antidilution requirements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted During the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and all subsequently issued clarifying guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize assets and lease liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets previously classified as operating leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which permitted entities to record the impact of adoption using a modified retrospective method with any cumulative-effect as an adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as opposed to restating comparative periods for the effects of applying the new standard. The Company elected this transition approach; therefore, the Company’s prior period reported results are not restated to include the impact of this adoption. In addition, the Company elected the package of three transition practical expedients which alleviate the requirement to reassess embedded leases, lease classification and initial direct costs for leases commencing prior to the adoption date.
The adoption effect of the new guidance increased total assets and total liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets by $
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, the Company will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Adoption of the new standard did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (CCA) that is a Service Contract. The new guidance aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a CCA that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Issued but Not Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). The new guidance replaces the current incurred loss method used for determining credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables, with an expected credit loss method. Topic 326 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2020 and is continuing to assess and evaluate assumptions and models to estimate losses. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company will be required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) for the impact as of the date of adoption. As credit losses from the Company's trade receivables have not historically been significant, the Company anticipates that the adoption of Topic 326 will not materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
2. ACQUISITIONS
On April 4, 2019, the Company acquired all of the issued ordinary shares of ARRIS in an all cash transaction with a total consideration of approximately $
The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the ARRIS acquisition. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the one- year measurement period from the date of acquisition as required by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. As of September 30, 2019, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, including the validation of the underlying cash flows used to determine the fair value of the identified intangible assets. The size and breadth of the ARRIS acquisition necessitates use of the one-year measurement period to adequately analyze all the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date, including, but not limited to, intangible assets, inventory, real property, leases, deferred tax assets and liabilities, certain reserves and the related tax impacts of any adjustments. Any potential adjustments could be material in relation to the preliminary values presented below:

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In millions, unless otherwise noted)
The Company has recorded measurement period adjustments on a prospective basis since the acquisition date primarily related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment. The impact of these measurement period adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was not material to the quarter or year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019.
The fair value of net accounts receivable is $
In order to allocate the consideration transferred for ARRIS, the fair values of all identifiable assets and liabilities were established. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results. In determining the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, a review was conducted for any significant contingent assets or liabilities existing as of the acquisition date.
The goodwill arising from the ARRIS acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Various valuation techniques were used to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Using these valuation approaches requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. The estimated fair values are expected to change as the Company completes its valuation analyses of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The table below summarizes the preliminary valuations of the intangible assets acquired that were determined by management to meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill and determined to have finite lives. The values presented below are preliminary estimates and are subject to change as management completes its valuation of the ARRIS acquisition.

The amounts related to ARRIS included in the following unaudited pro forma information are based on their historical results and, therefore, may not be indicative of the actual results when operated as part of CommScope. The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates based on information available at the time the pro forma information was prepared and may differ from the adjustments that may actually have been required. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the results that would have been realized had the acquisition of ARRIS occurred as of the date indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

Derivative Instruments Designated As Net Investment Hedges

As of September 30, 2019, the Company held designated foreign currency contracts with outstanding maturities of up to
Hedge effectiveness is assessed each quarter based on the net investment in the foreign subsidiary designated as the hedged item and the changes in the fair value of designated foreign currency contracts based on spot rates. For hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts excluded from hedge effectiveness at inception under the spot method for designated forward contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of each contract and for designated cross-currency swap contracts are recognized as interest accrues. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized $

Derivative Instruments Designated As Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company has implemented a hedging strategy to mitigate a portion of the exposure to changes in cash flows resulting from variable interest rates on the 2026 Term Loan which are based on the one-month LIBOR benchmark rate (see Note 7). During the first quarter of 2019, the Company entered into and designated pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap derivatives as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk which effectively fixed the interest rate on a portion the variable-rate debt. Total notional amount of the interest rate swap derivatives as of September 30, 2019 was $
Hedge effectiveness is assessed each quarter, and for hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2019, there was no ineffectiveness on the instruments designated as cash flow hedges.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company changed its measure of segment performance from adjusted operating income to adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization). The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as operating income, adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, asset impairments, equity-based compensation, transaction and integration costs and other items that the Company believes are useful to exclude in the evaluation of operating performance from period to period because these items are not representative of the Company’s core business.

11. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
The Company incurs costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to improve overall operating performance and profitability. The costs related to restructuring actions are generally composed of employee-related costs, fixed asset related costs and lease related costs. Employee-related costs include the expected severance costs and related benefits as well as one-time severance benefits that are accrued over the remaining period employees are required to work in order to receive such benefits. Fixed asset related costs include non-cash impairments or fixed asset disposals associated with restructuring actions in addition to the cash costs to uninstall, pack, ship and reinstall manufacturing equipment and the costs to prepare the receiving facility to accommodate relocated equipment. Fixed asset related costs are expensed as incurred. Cash paid is net of proceeds received from the sale of related assets. Effective January 1, 2019, with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, lease exit obligations related to unused leased facilities are reported as part of lease liabilities. Contract termination related costs include non-cash impairments of lease assets related to restructuring actions in addition to any one-time cash termination costs.
As a result of restructuring and consolidation actions, the Company owns unutilized real estate at various facilities in the U.S. and internationally. The Company is attempting to sell or lease this unutilized space. Additional impairment charges may be incurred related to these or other excess assets.
The Company’s net pre-tax restructuring charges, by segment, were as follows:

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant. Key inputs and assumptions used in the model include the grant date fair value of common stock, exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and the Company’s projected dividend yield. The expected term represents the period over which the Company’s employees are expected to hold their options. The risk-free interest rate reflects the yield on zero-coupon U.S. treasury securities with a term equal to the option’s expected term. Expected volatility is derived based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company’s projected dividend yield is

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following narrative is an analysis of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The discussion is provided to increase the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report as well as the audited consolidated financial statements, related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, including management’s discussion and analysis regarding the application of critical accounting policies as well as the risk factors, included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We discuss certain financial measures in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, including Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA, that differ from measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" included elsewhere in this quarterly report for more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including our reasons for including the measures and material limitations with respect to the usefulness of the measures.
Overview
We are a global provider of infrastructure solutions for communication and entertainment networks. Our solutions for wired and wireless networks enable service providers including cable, telephone and digital broadcast satellite operators and media programmers to deliver media, voice, IP data services and Wi-Fi to their subscribers and allow enterprises to experience constant wireless and wired connectivity across complex and varied networking environments. Our solutions are complemented by a broad array of services including technical support, systems design and integration. We are a leader in digital video and Internet Protocol Television distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms, and associated data and voice Customer Premises Equipment. Our global leadership position is built upon innovative technology, broad solution offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions, and global manufacturing and distribution scale.
On April 4, 2019, we completed the acquisition of ARRIS International plc (ARRIS) (the Acquisition) in an all-cash transaction with a total purchase price of approximately $7.7 billion, including debt assumed. The combined company is expected to drive profitable growth in new markets, shape the future of wired and wireless communications, and be in a position to benefit from key industry trends, including network convergence, fiber and mobility everywhere, 5G, Internet of Things (IoT) and rapidly changing network and technology architectures. The operations of ARRIS are included in our consolidated operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 from the date of the Acquisition, April 4, 2019. Following the Acquisition, we operated and managed CommScope in the following reportable segments: Connectivity Solutions (Connectivity), Mobility Solutions (Mobility), Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), Network & Cloud (N&C) and Ruckus Networks (Ruckus). We are re-evaluating our reportable segments as a result of the on-going integration of the Acquisition. Prior to the Acquisition, we operated and reported based on two operating segments: Connectivity and Mobility.
To fund the Acquisition, in February 2019, we issued $1.25 billion of 5.50% senior secured notes due 2024 (the 2024 Secured Notes), $1.5 billion of 6.00% senior secured notes due 2026 (the 2026 Secured Notes) and $1.0 billion of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the New Unsecured Notes and, together with the 2024 Secured Notes and the 2026 Secured Notes, the New Notes), the proceeds from which were released from escrow on the date of the Acquisition. As of the date of the Acquisition, we borrowed $3.2 billion under a new senior secured term loan due 2026 (the 2026 Term Loan) with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% and entered into a new asset-based revolving credit facility with availability of $881.7 million as of September 30, 2019, reflecting a borrowing base of $906.9 million reduced by $25.2 million of letters of credit under the facility. Also as of April 4, 2019, we issued $1.0 billion in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the Convertible Preferred Stock) to Carlyle Partners VII S1 Holdings, L.P. (Carlyle). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized $2.2 million and $189.8 million, respectively, of transaction and integration costs primarily related to the Acquisition. We will continue to incur transaction and integration costs as well as restructuring costs to integrate the ARRIS business and those costs may be material.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Impairment Review of Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an interim basis when events occur or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value may no longer be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test consists of the comparison of the carrying value of a reporting unit to its estimated fair value. We estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation model. The significant assumptions in the DCF model primarily include, but are not limited to, forecasts of annual revenue growth rates, annual operating income margin and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the cash flow projections. When determining these assumptions and preparing these estimates, we consider historical performance trends, industry data, insight derived from customers, relevant changes in the reporting unit’s underlying business and other market trends that may affect the reporting unit. The discount rate is based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital as of the test date of market participants in the industry in which the reporting unit operates. The assumptions used in the DCF model are subject to significant judgment and uncertainty. Changes in projected revenue growth rates, projected operating income margins or estimated discount rates due to uncertain market conditions, loss of one or more key customers, changes in technology or other factors could negatively affect the fair value in one or more of our reporting units and result in an impairment charge in the future.
During the second quarter of 2019, management determined that indicators of possible goodwill impairment existed for the reporting units from the recently acquired ARRIS business. Since the closing of our acquisition of ARRIS at the beginning of the second quarter of 2019, the ARRIS reporting units (CPE, N&C and Ruckus) had continued to experience challenges that impacted our performance. The challenges included declines in spending by our cable operator customers that resulted in declines in revenue and operating income for these reporting units and the loss of key leaders of these reporting units following the Acquisition. Certain of these challenges were expected to persist throughout the remainder of 2019 and impact management’s ability to grow these businesses at the rate that was originally estimated when we completed the acquisition of ARRIS. Based on these indicators, a goodwill impairment test was performed for these reporting units using a DCF valuation model. As a result, management developed a revised forecast for 2019 and updated the annual financial forecasts for the years beyond 2019 that consider these challenges. The projections assume a recovery of spending by these customers that begins in 2020. The extent and timing of this recovery are key assumptions in the determination of the fair value of the reporting units. Though we believe the financial projections used in the DCF valuation model were reasonable and achievable, these reporting units may continue to face challenges that may affect our ability to grow these businesses at the rate we estimated in our revised projections that were used to perform the goodwill impairment test. If we do not achieve our forecast, it is reasonably possible in the near term that the goodwill of the ARRIS reporting units could be deemed to be impaired.
Management did not identify indicators of goodwill impairment in the third quarter of 2019. However, planning activities for 2020 and beyond are expected to be completed during the fourth quarter. The projections that result from those activities could indicate a goodwill impairment and that impairment could be material.
Other Updates
During the second quarter of 2019, we made an accounting principle change to reclassify certain internal handling costs from selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense to cost of sales. We also enhanced our revenue recognition policy as a result of the Acquisition. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases, which changed our policy related to leases. Other than the changes to our internal handling costs policy, the enhancements to our revenue recognition policy and changes to our leases policy, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies or significant accounting estimates as disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See the discussion in Note 1 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for further information regarding our change in accounting principle related to certain internal handling costs, our enhancements of our revenue recognition policy and the impact of our adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 on our policy related to leases.

Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 included ARRIS net sales of $1.3 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. Excluding the ARRIS business, CommScope’s net sales were lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same prior year periods primarily due to lower volumes, pricing pressure and unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange rate changes of approximately 1% and 2%, respectively. From a regional perspective, we saw lower net sales across all regions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. For the quarter, the decrease was driven by the United States (U.S.) and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. The decrease in the U.S. was driven by declines in spending by our cable operator customers as well as reductions in selling prices and the decrease in APAC was driven by projects in 2018 that did not recur in 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the decrease was driven by the APAC region, again due to projects in 2018 that did not recur in 2019, and the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region due to lower sales of our enterprise solutions and unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange rate changes.
Net sales to customers located outside of the U.S. comprised 39.8% and 40.9% of total net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 43.2% and 43.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Gross profit (net sales less cost of sales)
Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was negatively affected by ARRIS acquisition accounting adjustments of $108.7 million and $272.9 million, respectively, primarily related to the markup of inventory to its estimated fair value less the estimated costs associated with its sale. Excluding this additional cost, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit for CommScope was $718.6 million and $1.9 billion, respectively, and gross profit as a percentage of sales was 30.2% and 32.1%, respectively. Excluding the ARRIS business in total, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, CommScope’s gross profit was $318.1 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, and gross profit as a percentage of sales was 30.6% and 35.0%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of sales for the legacy CommScope business decreased due to lower net sales and the settlement of patent infringement litigation as described in Note 1 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. These unfavorable impacts were offset partially by lower material costs and favorable product mix.
The Connectivity segment experienced lower gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to prior year periods primarily as a result of lower volumes and reductions in certain selling prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Connectivity segment’s gross profit was also impacted by unfavorable impacts of foreign exchange rate changes on costs, partially offset by favorable product mix. The Mobility segment’s gross profit decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods as a result of the patent infringement litigation settlement and lower net sales due to reductions in certain selling prices, partially offset by favorable product mix and lower material costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit for the Mobility segment was also favorably impacted by higher sales volumes and favorable impacts of foreign exchange rate changes on costs.
As discussed in Note 1 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q, we changed our accounting principle to reclassify certain internal handling costs from selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense to cost of sales. The impact of this change increased cost of sales and decreased gross profit by $14.2 million and $41.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. All comparisons presented in this management’s discussion and analysis have been adjusted to reflect the impact of this change in accounting principle.
42
Selling, general and administrative expense
SG&A expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to the inclusion of ARRIS SG&A expense (excluding transaction and integration costs) of $152.4 million and transaction and integration costs of $2.2 million. Excluding the ARRIS business and transaction and integration costs, SG&A expense decreased $6.0 million due to cost savings initiatives realized in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period but increased as a percentage of net sales to 14.5% as a result of lower net sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, SG&A expense increased primarily due to transaction and integration costs of $189.8 million and the inclusion of ARRIS SG&A expense (excluding transaction and integration costs) of $312.5 million. Excluding transaction and integration costs as well as the ARRIS business, SG&A expense decreased $27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower incentive compensation and cost savings initiatives. Excluding transaction and integration costs and the ARRIS business, SG&A expense as a percentage of sales was 14.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Research and development expense
Research and development (R&D) expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods due to the inclusion of ARRIS R&D expenses of $125.1 million and $256.7 million, respectively. Excluding ARRIS, R&D expense for CommScope was relatively unchanged for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. R&D activities generally relate to ensuring that our products are capable of meeting the evolving technological needs of our customers, bringing new products to market and modifying existing products to better serve our customers.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets
The amortization of purchased intangible assets was higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the additional amortization resulting from the Acquisition. Excluding ARRIS, amortization related to CommScope was lower by $8.1 million and $24.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year periods because certain of our intangible assets became fully amortized.
Restructuring costs, net
The restructuring costs recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were primarily related to integrating the ARRIS business. The restructuring costs recognized in the prior year periods were primarily related to the integration of the BNS business.
No significant restructuring charges are expected to be incurred to complete the previously announced BNS integration initiatives. Additional restructuring actions related to the acquisition of ARRIS are expected to be identified and the resulting charges and cash requirements are expected to be material. From a cash perspective, we paid $26.8 million and $76.6 million to settle restructuring liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and expect to pay an additional $13.7 million by the end of 2019 related to restructuring actions that have been initiated. In addition, we expect to pay $18.9 million between 2020 and 2022 related to restructuring actions that have been initiated.

Foreign currency loss
Foreign currency loss includes the net foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the settlement of receivables and payables, foreign currency contracts and short-term intercompany advances in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency.
Other income, net
The increase in other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to gains of $6.1 million related to the sale of certain investments in the current year period partially offset by the decrease in non-service related net periodic benefit income of $1.5 million. The decrease in other income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was due to a decrease in non-service related net periodic benefit income of $5.5 million and other miscellaneous income partially offset by the gains on investments during the third quarter of 2019 described above.

Interest expense and interest income
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased compared to the prior year periods due to the financing of the Acquisition. In February 2019, we issued the New Notes, which were held in escrow until the acquisition date, April 4, 2019. In February 2019, we also secured the borrowing of $3.2 billion, less $32.0 million of original issue discount, under the 2026 Term Loan which was funded on April 4, 2019 as well. We began accruing interest on the New Notes and ticking fees related to the 2026 Term Loan in February 2019. We incurred $110.8 million and $259.9 million of incremental interest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as a result of this acquisition-related debt.
We used the proceeds from the New Notes and a portion of the 2026 Term Loan, together with cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock to finance the acquisition of ARRIS. The remaining proceeds from the 2026 Term Loan were used to pay off the existing senior secured term loan due 2022 (the 2022 Term Loan). We also made a voluntary payment on the 2022 Term Loan in the first quarter of 2019. In connection with the repayment of the 2022 Term Loan, $7.7 million of original issue discount and debt issuance costs were written off and included in interest expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In August 2019, we redeemed $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.00% senior notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes) and accelerated the recognition of $0.9 million of debt issuance costs in interest expense.
Our weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, was 6.18% at September 30, 2019, 5.73% at December 31, 2018 and 5.70% at September 30, 2018.
Interest income increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to $10.9 million of interest earned on the proceeds of the New Notes that were held in an interest-bearing escrow account until the Acquisition date.
In March 2019, we entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap derivatives and designated them as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. These swaps effectively fixed the interest rate on a portion the 2026 Term Loan. The total notional amount of the interest rate swap derivatives as of September 30, 2019 was $600 million with outstanding maturities of up to fifty-four months.
44
Income tax expense
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our effective tax rate was 24.8% and 15.1%, respectively, and we recognized a tax benefit of $51.7 million on a pretax loss of $208.2 million and a tax benefit of $87.6 million on a pretax loss of $580.4 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, our tax benefit was impacted favorably by the impact of federal tax credits, benefits recognized from adjustments related to prior years’ tax returns and the expiration of statutes of limitations on various uncertain tax positions and impacted unfavorably by the impact of U.S. anti-deferral provisions and foreign withholding taxes. Excess tax costs related to equity-based compensation awards had an unfavorable impact on our tax benefit of $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
The effective income tax rate of 2.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was lower than the statutory rate of 21.0% due to a reduction in tax expense of $24.1 million related to the expiration of statutes of limitations on various uncertain tax positions. The effective income tax rate of 23.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was higher than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of the provision for state income taxes, the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate, the impact of the new U.S. anti-deferral provisions and the impact of repatriation taxes. These increases to the effective tax rate were partially offset by a reduction due to the expiration of statutes of limitations on various uncertain tax positions discussed above and the favorable impact of $4.7 million of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Connectivity Solutions Segment
Our Connectivity segment provides innovative fiber optic and copper cable and connectivity solutions for use in data centers and business enterprise, telecommunications, cable television and residential broadband networks. The Connectivity portfolio includes network solutions for indoor and outdoor network applications. Indoor network solutions are found in commercial buildings and data centers, while outdoor network solutions are found in both local-area and wide-area networks, central offices and headends, and “last-mile” fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) installations.
47
Connectivity segment net sales were lower in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower sales volumes and pricing pressure. Foreign exchange rate changes negatively impacted net sales by approximately 1% and 2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. From a regional perspective, the Connectivity segment saw lower net sales across all regions especially in the U.S. and the EMEA and APAC regions. Net sales in the U.S. were down due to declines in spending by our cable operator customers. Sales in the EMEA region were lower due to decreases in sales of enterprise solutions and to a lesser extent the impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rate changes. The APAC region experienced lower net sales primarily due to lower sales of our enterprise solutions but these declines were partially offset by increases in our other connectivity solutions.
Connectivity segment operating income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower sales volumes and reductions in certain selling prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Connectivity segment operating income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA were also negatively impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange rate changes on costs but this was offset by lower incentive compensation and favorable product mix. Connectivity segment operating income also decreased due to higher transaction and integration costs and restructuring costs offset partially by lower intangible amortization, all of which are excluded from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.”
We expect demand for our enterprise Connectivity products to be driven by global information technology spending, particularly for hyperscale and cloud data center networks, as the ongoing need for bandwidth and intelligence in the network continues to create demand for high-performance connectivity solutions. We expect demand for our service provider Connectivity products to be driven by global deployment of fiber-optic solutions for FTTX applications, fiber deployments that support wireless distribution and backhaul, new services, competitive dynamics in the access market, ongoing maintenance requirements of cable networks and residential construction market activity in North America. The increasing demand for fiber solutions is expected to be somewhat offset by decelerating demand for copper solutions in networks. Uncertain global economic conditions, variability in the levels of commercial and residential construction activity, consolidation among service providers, uncertain levels of information technology spending and reductions in the levels of distributor inventories may negatively affect demand for our products. As a result of these business dynamics and ongoing pricing pressure, we expect near-term net sales in the Connectivity segment to decline modestly.
Mobility Solutions Segment
Our Mobility segment provides the integral building blocks for cellular base station sites and related connectivity, while focusing on all aspects of the radio access network (RAN) from the macro through the metro to the indoor layer. Macro cell solutions can be found at wireless tower sites and on rooftops. Metro cell solutions can be found on street poles and on other urban, outdoor structures and include radio frequency (RF) delivery and connectivity solutions, equipment housing and concealment. Distributed antenna systems and small cell indoor solutions allow wireless operators to increase spectral efficiency and thereby extend and enhance cellular coverage and capacity in challenging network conditions.
Mobility segment net sales decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period driven by lower sales volumes and pricing pressures, partially offset by favorable mix. From a regional perspective for the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Mobility segment saw lower sales in the APAC region and the Caribbean and Latin American (CALA) region. These decreases were offset partially by stronger sales in the EMEA region and the U.S. Our Mobility segment experienced a modest increase in net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period, driven by stronger sales volumes in the U.S. due to the continued build out of next generation 4G networks that support commercial and public safety markets, partially offset by pricing pressures. Mobility segment net sales also saw an increase in the EMEA region but the increases in the U.S. and the EMEA region were partially offset by a decrease in the APAC region during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Foreign exchange rate changes negatively impacted Mobility segment net sales by approximately 1% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods.
48
Mobility segment operating income decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to the $55.0 million settlement of a patent infringement claim (see Note 1 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q). This settlement was excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the Mobility segment, which increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year periods. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to cost savings initiatives and favorable product mix, partially offset by pricing pressures. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to increases in sales volumes, cost savings initiatives, favorable impacts of foreign exchange rate changes on cost and favorable product mix, partially offset by pricing pressures. In addition to the litigation settlement, operating income was also negatively impacted by higher transaction and integration costs offset partially by lower restructuring costs and intangible amortization, all of which are excluded from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures.”
Our sales to wireless operators can be project-based and volatile. We expect longer-term demand for our Mobility products to be positively affected by wireless coverage and capacity expansion and growth in mobile data services and network capacity requirements. In addition, we expect demand for our Mobility products to continue to be favorably affected by initiatives to promote the expansion of wireless networks, new spectrum deployments and a venue refresh cycle over the next couple of years. We also expect longer-term demand for our Mobility products to be positively affected by the introduction of 5G technology. In preparation for 5G networks, we continue to invest heavily in R&D, support customer trials and participate in industry forums to help shape 5G standards. We expect near-term net sales in our Mobility segment to decline modestly. In addition, pricing pressure, uncertainty in the global economy or a particular region or consolidation among operators or other investments by wireless operators may slow the growth or cause a decline in capital spending by wireless operators and negatively impact our net sales.
Customer Premises Equipment Segment
Our CPE segment offers broadband and video products. The segment includes subscriber-based solutions that support broadband and video applications connecting cable, telco and satellite service providers to a customer’s home and adds wireless connectivity or other wired connections integrating in-home devices together to enable the consumption of internet-based services and the delivery of broadcast, streamed and stored video to televisions and other connected devices. Broadband offerings include devices that provide residential connectivity to a Service Providers’ network, such as digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable modems and telephony and data gateways which incorporate routing and Wi-Fi functionality. Video offerings include set top boxes that support cable, satellite and IPTV content delivery and include products such as digital video recorders (DVRs), high definition set top boxes and hybrid set top devices.
Net sales to customers outside the U.S. comprised 38.2% and 40.2% of total CPE segment net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These sales to international customers were primarily to customers in the EMEA and CALA regions. CPE segment net sales were unfavorably impacted by acquisition accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue of $3.3 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Operating income for our CPE segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was negatively impacted by $3.3 million and $27.3 million, respectively, of acquisition accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue and the mark-up of inventory to its fair value. Operating income was also negatively impacted by $6.8 million and $21.9 million of restructuring costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Acquisition accounting adjustments and restructuring charges are not reflected in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.
We expect near-term sales in our CPE segment to remain flat or to decline primarily due to a continued reduction in the U.S. PayTV market as it continues to be impacted by the growth in over-the-top streaming and net video subscriber reductions and slower international video deployments. We expect these dynamics to be partially offset by a slightly increasing broadband market.
Network & Cloud Segment
Our N&C segment’s product solutions include cable modem termination systems, video infrastructure, distribution and transmission equipment and cloud solutions that enable facility-based service providers to construct a state-of-the-art residential and metro distribution network. The portfolio also includes a full suite of global services that offer technical support, professional services and system integration to enable solutions sales of our end-to-end product portfolio.
49
Net sales to customers outside the U.S. comprised 35.2% and 40.2% of total N&C segment net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These sales to international customers were spread across all major geographic regions. N&C segment net sales were unfavorably impacted by acquisition accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue of $7.0 million and $20.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Operating income for our N&C segment was negatively impacted by $57.7 million and $137.7 million related to acquisition accounting adjustments related to the mark-up of inventory to its estimated fair value and deferred revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Operating income was also negatively impacted by $5.5 million and $27.0 million of restructuring costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, operating income for our N&C segment was also negatively impacted by $99.9 million of transaction and integration costs. Acquisition accounting adjustments, restructuring charges and transaction and integration costs are not reflected in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.
We expect near-term sales for the N&C segment to remain relatively flat. We anticipate that the reduced network spend we have seen so far this year will continue in the short term and a return to higher level of capital spend by cable operators will push farther out than we had originally anticipated. The cable industry is going through a process of transformation and evaluating a variety of new network architectures to further expand plant capacity. Distributed Access Architecture (DAA) is complex and there are a variety of approaches. As different models for plant upgrades are assessed, cable operators are spending cautiously to keep inventories in check during the transition. We benefit from a large footprint of outside plant electronics as well as of field upgradeable nodes which makes a move to DAA as simple as plugging in a module. The fundamental drivers for investing in the broadband network remain unchanged. Increased subscriber count, capacity utilization and increased access speeds continue to grow. We believe we are positioned to capture our share of this market demand given our advantaged product portfolio and deep customer relationship, and we expect better N&C segment performance in 2020.
Ruckus Networks Segment
Our Ruckus segment provides converged wired (LAN) and wireless (WLAN, IoT) networks for enterprises and service providers. Product offerings include indoor and outdoor Wi-Fi and LTE access points, access, aggregation and core switches; on-premises and cloud-based control and management systems; and software and software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications addressing security, location, reporting and analytics.
Net sales to customers outside the U.S. comprised 43.6% and 44.2% of total Ruckus segment net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Sales to international customers were primarily to customers in the EMEA and APAC regions. Ruckus segment net sales were unfavorably impacted by acquisition accounting adjustments related to deferred revenue of $3.6 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Operating income for our Ruckus segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was negatively impacted by $47.8 million and $107.8 million, respectively, of acquisition accounting adjustments related to the mark-up of inventory to its estimated fair value and deferred revenue. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Ruckus segment was negatively impacted by transaction and integration costs of $35.2 million. Acquisition accounting adjustments and transaction and integration costs are not reflected in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.
We expect near-term net sales to be flat for our Ruckus segment. While we remain confident in the long-term growth of this business, we are focused on optimizing the cost structure to align to current sales trends to preserve profitability.

Total capitalization includes long-term debt, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity. |
Our principal sources of liquidity on a short-term basis are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operations and availability under credit facilities. To fund the Acquisition, on February 19, 2019 we issued the New Notes, the proceeds from which were held in escrow until they were released on April 4, 2019, the Acquisition date. In February 2019, we also secured the borrowing of $3.2 billion under the 2026 Term Loan with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% that was funded as of the Acquisition date. In addition, at the closing of the Acquisition, we entered into a new asset-based revolving credit facility. Availability under the new asset-based revolving credit facility was $881.7 million as of September 30, 2019, reflecting a borrowing base of $906.9 billion reduced by $25.2 million of letters of credit issued under the facility. We did not borrow under the new asset-based revolving credit facility to fund the Acquisition, but we did borrow and repay $15.0 million under the facility in the second quarter of 2019. In addition to incremental new debt, we funded the Acquisition by issuing the Convertible Preferred Stock to Carlyle for an aggregate investment of $1.0 billion. The Convertible Preferred Stock pays dividends at an annual rate of 5.50%, with dividends payable quarterly, and is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of CommScope common stock at a price of $27.50 per share, subject to certain limits on the number of shares that may be issued unless we obtain shareholder approval. On a long-term basis, our potential sources of liquidity also include raising capital through the issuance of additional equity and/or debt.
The primary uses of liquidity include debt service requirements (including voluntary debt repayments or redemptions), funding working capital requirements, paying acquisition integration costs, capital expenditures, paying restructuring costs, paying dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock and income tax payments. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations, combined with availability under our new asset-based revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated future cash needs. We may experience volatility in cash flows between periods due to, among other reasons, variability in the timing of vendor payments and customer receipts. We may, from time to time, borrow under our revolving credit facility or issue securities, if market conditions are favorable, to meet future cash needs or to reduce our borrowing costs.
Although there are no financial maintenance covenants under the terms of our senior notes, there is a limitation, among other limitations, on certain future borrowings based on an adjusted leverage ratio or a fixed charge coverage ratio. These ratios are based on financial measures similar to those presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section below, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pro forma EBITDA as measured pursuant to the indentures governing our senior notes, and reflecting the pro forma effect of certain events, including acquisitions, synergies and savings from cost reduction initiatives such as facility closures and headcount reductions. In addition to limitations under these indentures, our senior secured credit facilities contain customary negative covenants. We believe we are in compliance with the covenants under our indentures and senior secured credit facilities at September 30, 2019.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to funding the Acquisition, settling assumed ARRIS debt, payments on the 2022 Term Loan, redemptions of the 2021 Notes, acquisition-related payments and restructuring payments all partially offset by the addition of cash and cash equivalents from the ARRIS business. As of September 30, 2019, approximately 47.0% of our cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S.
51
Working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents and the current portion of long-term debt, increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to the Acquisition. Excluding the ARRIS business, working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents, did not change significantly, with higher accounts receivable and inventory balances being offset by higher accrued interest related to the debt incurred to finance the Acquisition. The higher accounts receivable balances relate to modestly slower collections. Inventory balances have increased this year due to the timing of sales. The increase in total capitalization during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflected the proceeds from the New Notes funded in the first quarter, the 2026 Term Loan, which was funded as of the Acquisition date, and the Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which were utilized to fund a substantial portion of the Acquisition on April 4, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash generated from operating activities decreased compared to the prior year period despite the addition of the ARRIS business primarily due to the payment of $206.9 million more in interest as a result of the acquisition-related debt and payments of $205.1 million of transaction and integration costs related to the Acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We also paid $45.5 million more in restructuring costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid $5.0 billion, net of cash acquired, using a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock to fund the Acquisition. Our investment in property, plant and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $16.9 million higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of the addition of ARRIS’ investment in property, plant and equipment since the Acquisition date. Our investments in property, plant and equipment were primarily related to supporting improvements in manufacturing operations, including expanding production capacity and investing in information technology, including software developed for internal use. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we also paid $11.0 million of the $14.5 million liability for remaining payments due related to the August 2017 acquisition of Cable Exchange. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received proceeds of $9.3 million on the sale of certain investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we sold property and equipment no longer being utilized for $1.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received net proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes and the 2026 Term Loan of approximately $6.9 billion to fund the Acquisition. As of the date of the Acquisition, we also entered into a new asset-based revolving credit facility, which had availability of $881.7 million as of September 30, 2019, reflecting a borrowing base of $906.9 billion reduced by $25.2 million of letters of credit issued under the facility. We borrowed and repaid $15.0 million under the new asset-based revolving credit facility during the second quarter of 2019. We had no outstanding borrowings under the new asset-based revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2019. In connection with these financing transactions, we paid $120.8 million of debt issuance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
53
We repaid $225.0 million of the 2022 Term Loan in the first quarter of 2019 and we repaid the remaining balance of $261.3 million on April 4, 2019 using proceeds from the 2026 Term Loan. As part of funding the Acquisition, we repaid ARRIS’ outstanding debt of $2.1 billion under its senior secured credit facilities. In addition to the new debt, we funded the Acquisition by issuing the Convertible Preferred Stock to Carlyle for an aggregate investment of $1.0 billion. We paid $3.0 million in transaction fees on Carlyle’s behalf related to the Convertible Preferred Stock and we treated that as a deemed dividend during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid $26.9 million in authorized dividends for the Convertible Preferred Stock for the second and third quarters’ dividend payments.
We redeemed $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2021 Notes in August 2019. After the end of the third quarter of 2019, on October 20, 2019, we redeemed an additional $200.0 million of our 2021 Notes and we expect to continue voluntarily repaying debt in the future. We may repurchase more of our senior notes if market conditions are favorable and the applicable indenture and the credit agreements governing the senior secured credit facilities permit such repayment or repurchase. In addition, we may refinance portions of our existing debt to lower borrowing costs, extend the term or adjust the total amount of fixed or floating-rate debt.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we received proceeds of $3.1 million related to the exercise of stock options. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, employees surrendered 0.6 million shares of our common stock to satisfy their tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock units and performance share units, which reduced cash flows by $12.3 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received proceeds of $5.0 million related to the exercise of stock options and employees surrendered 0.4 million shares of our common stock to satisfy their tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock units, which reduced cash flows by $15.6 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not party to any significant off-balance sheet arrangements. Other than the adoption of the new leasing guidance as of January 1, 2019 that requires all leases to be recorded on the balance sheet, there have not been any material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
54
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
We believe that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful in assessing our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We also use certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.
We believe these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the terms non-GAAP adjusted operating income, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP pro forma adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. These financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity.
We also believe presenting these non-GAAP results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2019 provides an additional tool for assessing our recent performance. Such amounts are unaudited and are derived by subtracting the data for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the data for the year ended December 31, 2018 and then adding the data for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In addition, we have limitations on certain future borrowings and other actions based on ratios that use financial measures similar to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA but also give pro forma effect to certain events, including acquisitions, anticipated synergies from acquisitions and savings from cost reduction initiatives such as facility closures and headcount reductions. The impacts of certain material pro forma adjustments are reflected below in the twelve-month period used in the calculation of the ratios.

(a) |
No other prepayment or redemption of any of our long-term debt balances has been assumed. Refer to Note 7 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q and Note 6 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the terms of our long-term debt agreements. |
|
(b) |
Interest on long-term debt excludes the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount. Interest on variable rate debt is estimated based upon rates in effect at September 30, 2019. |
|
(c) |
Purchase obligations and other supplier agreements include $266.5 million related to obligations, primarily to our contract manufacturers, with non-cancelable terms to purchase goods or services; payments of $13.9 million due in 2019 for minimum amounts owed under take-or-pay or requirements contracts; and $3.6 million of purchase price payments due in 2020 related to the acquisition of Cable Exchange. Generally, amounts covered by open purchase orders, other than the portion that is non-cancelable as disclosed above, are excluded as there is no contractual obligation until goods or services are received. |
|
(d) |
Amounts reflect expected contributions related to payments under the postretirement benefit plans through 2028 and expected pension contributions of $0.7 million during the remainder of 2019 (see Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K). |
|
(e) |
Future restructuring payments exclude payments due under lease arrangements which are included in operating leases above. |
|
(f) |
Amount reflects the settlement of patent litigation that was agreed upon on October 9, 2019 but included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2019. The payment is due in two installments, with $30.0 due in January 2020 and $25.0 million due in June 2020. |
|
(g) |
Due to the uncertainty in predicting the timing of tax payments related to our unrecognized tax benefits, $154.4 million has been excluded from the presentation. We anticipate a reduction of up to $5.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits during the remainder of 2019 (see Note 11 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K). |

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or any other oral or written statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by their use of such terms and phrases as “intend,” “goal,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “projections,” “plans,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “designed to,” “foreseeable future,” “believe,” “think,” “scheduled,” “outlook,” “target,” “guidance” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms. This list of indicative terms and phrases is not intended to be all-inclusive.
These statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, including, without limitation, risks related to the ARRIS acquisition; our dependence on customers’ capital spending on data and communication systems; concentration of sales among a limited number of customers and channel partners; changes in technology; industry competition and the ability to retain customers through product innovation, introduction and marketing; risks associated with our sales through channel partners; changes to the regulatory environment in which our customers operate; product quality or performance issues and associated warranty claims; our ability to maintain effective management information technology systems and to implement major systems initiatives successfully; cyber-security incidents, including data security breaches, ransomware or computer viruses; the risk our global manufacturing operations suffer production or shipping delays, causing difficulty in meeting customer demands; the risk that internal production capacity or that of contract manufacturers may be insufficient to meet customer demand or quality standards; changes in cost and availability of key raw materials, components and commodities and the potential effect on customer pricing; risks associated with our dependence on a limited number of key suppliers for certain raw materials and components; the risk that contract manufacturers we rely on encounter production, quality, financial or other difficulties; our ability to integrate and fully realize anticipated benefits from prior or future divestitures, acquisitions or equity investments; potential difficulties in realigning global manufacturing capacity and capabilities among our global manufacturing facilities or those of our contract manufacturers that may affect our ability to meet customer demands for products; possible future restructuring actions; substantial indebtedness and maintaining compliance with debt covenants; our ability to incur additional indebtedness; our ability to generate cash to service our indebtedness; possible future impairment charges for fixed or intangible assets, including goodwill; income tax rate variability and ability to recover amounts recorded as deferred tax assets; our ability to attract and retain qualified key employees; labor unrest; obligations under our defined benefit employee benefit plans requiring plan contributions in excess of current estimates; significant international operations exposing us to economic, political and other risks, including the impact of variability in foreign exchange rates; our ability to comply with governmental anti-corruption laws and regulations and export and import controls worldwide; our ability to compete in international markets due to export and import controls to which we may be subject; the impact of Brexit; changes in the laws and policies in the United States affecting trade, including the risk and uncertainty related to tariffs or a potential global trade war that may impact our products; costs of protecting or defending intellectual property; costs and challenges of compliance with domestic and foreign environmental laws; the impact of litigation and similar regulatory proceedings that we are involved in or may become involved in, including the costs of such litigation, risks associated with stockholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of our business strategy and impact the trading value of our securities; and other factors beyond our control. Such forward-looking statements are also subject to additional risks and uncertainties related to the recently acquired ARRIS business, many of which are outside of our control, including, without limitation: the risk that we will not successfully integrate ARRIS or that we will not realize estimated cost savings, synergies, growth or other anticipated benefits, or that such benefits may take longer to realize than expected; risks relating to unanticipated costs of integration; the potential impact of the acquisition on relationships with third parties, including customers, employees and competitors; failure to manage potential conflicts of interest between or among customers; integration of information technology systems; and other factors beyond our control. These and other factors are discussed in greater detail in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Although the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represents our best judgment as of the date of this report based on information currently available and reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We are not undertaking any duty or obligation to update this information to reflect developments or information obtained after the date of this report, except as otherwise may be required by law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Other than the changes disclosed below, there have been no material changes in the interest rate risk, commodity price risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk information previously reported under Item 7A of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2019.

Interest Rate Risk
The table below summarizes the expected interest and principal payments associated with our variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2019 (mainly the $3.2 billion variable rate term loan and new asset-based revolving credit facility). The principal payments presented below are based on scheduled maturities and assume no borrowings under the existing revolving credit facility. The interest payments presented below assume the interest rate in effect at September 30, 2019. The impact of a 1% increase in the interest rate index on projected future interest payments on the variable rate debt is also included in the table below.

As part of our hedging strategy to mitigate a portion of the exposure to changes in cash flows resulting from the variable interest rate on the 2026 Term Loan, in March 2019, we entered into and designated pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap derivatives as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The total notional amount of the interest rate swap derivatives as of September 30, 2019 was $600.0 million with outstanding maturities of up to fifty-four months. As of September 30, 2019, the combined fair value of the interest rate swaps was a $20.4 million loss. The table above excludes the impact of these interest rate swap derivatives.
Foreign Currency Risk
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency swaps, with outstanding maturities of up to twenty-one months, that are designated as net investment hedges and are intended to mitigate a portion of the foreign currency risk on the Euro net investment in a foreign subsidiary. As of September 30, 2019, the notional value of these derivative contracts was $320.0 million and the unrealized gain on the contracts was $18.0 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In conjunction with the integration of ARRIS, the Company is making changes to processes, policies and other components of its internal control over financial reporting, including the consolidation of such operations into the Company’s financial statements. Management continues to make changes to the design of the control procedures relating to ARRIS and assess their effectiveness. Except for the activities described above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
