1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Background

CommScope Holding Company, Inc., along with its direct and indirect subsidiaries (CommScope or the Company), is a global provider of infrastructure solutions for communication networks. The Company’s solutions and services for wired and wireless networks enable high-bandwidth data, video and voice applications. CommScope’s global leadership position is built upon innovative technology, broad solution offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions, and global manufacturing and distribution scale.

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.

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).

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 changes described below to lease policies as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases, there were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

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 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 contract 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 Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for 10% of the Company’s total net sales during both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the CommScope Connectivity Solutions (CCS) segment. No direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of March 31, 2019.

Product Warranties

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over various periods, depending upon the product subject to the warranty and the terms of the individual agreements. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty claims as cost of sales based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales and specifically identified warranty issues. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and revises its estimates, as appropriate, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that revisions may be necessary. Such revisions may be material.

The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in other accrued liabilities:

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.

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 three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment due to a change in reporting units in the CCS segment. As a result, the Company performed impairment testing for goodwill under the CCS 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. There were no goodwill impairments identified during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

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 no definite-lived intangible or other long-lived asset impairments identified during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was (242.6)% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company recorded $1.6 million of income tax expense related to a $0.7 million pre-tax net loss for the period. The pre-tax net loss was driven by interest expense, restructuring costs and transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of ARRIS International plc (ARRIS) (the Acquisition). Additional income tax expense was recorded as a result of final transition tax regulations issued in the United States (U.S.) during the quarter. The effective income tax rate was also unfavorably affected by losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of those benefits not being realizable. See Notes 2 and 12 for further discussion of the Acquisition and Note 6 for further discussion of the related financing. The impact of excess tax costs related to equity-based compensation awards was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The effective income tax rate of 27.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was higher than the statutory rate of 21.0% 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 U.S. anti-deferral provisions and the impact of repatriation taxes. These increases to the effective tax rate were partially offset by the favorable impact of $4.3 million of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation awards.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares include outstanding equity-based awards (stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units). Certain outstanding equity-based compensation awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met (5.7 million shares and 0.5 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively). Antidilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included 2.7 million shares of equity-based awards which would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position.

The following table presents the basis for the earnings (loss) per share computations (in millions, except per share data):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and all subsequently issued clarifying guidance. The Company finalized the necessary changes to its accounting policies, processes, internal controls and information systems that were required to meet the new standard’s reporting and disclosure requirements. 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 $98.8 million as of January 1, 2019 due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease obligations for operating type leases, net of the elimination of existing prepaid rent, deferred rent and lease termination cost amounts. The adoption of the new standard did not materially affect the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations; and therefore, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded. Adoption of the new standard also did not materially affect the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 4 for further discussion of the Company’s leasing activities.

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. 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. ASU No. 2016-13 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 evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Pending Acquisition as of March 31, 2019

On November 8, 2018, the Company announced an agreement to acquire ARRIS in an all cash transaction for $31.75 per share. To fund the Acquisition, on February 19, 2019, CommScope Finance LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, 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) and priced the borrowing of $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%. The proceeds of the New Notes were held in escrow as of March 31, 2019. See Note 12 for further update on the Acquisition.

4. LEASES

The Company has operating type leases for real estate, equipment and vehicles in both the U.S. and internationally. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had no finance type leases. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 10 years, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years or options to terminate the leases within 1 year. Operating lease expense was $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 inclusive of period cost for short-term, cancellable and variable leases, not included in lease liabilities, of $3.6 million.

The Company occasionally subleases all or a portion of certain unutilized real estate facilities.  As of March 31, 2019, the Company’s sublease arrangements were classified as operating type leases and the income amounts were not material for the three months ending March 31, 2019.
