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.
In the second quarter of 2021, management shifted certain product lines from the Company’s Broadband Networks (Broadband) segment to its Home Networks (Home) segment to better align with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. All prior period amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.
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, 2020 (the 2020 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 2020 Annual Report. There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021.
Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions
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 party to certain intellectual property claims and periodically receives notices asserting that its products infringe on another party’s patents and other intellectual property rights. These claims and assertions, whether against the Company directly or against its customers, could require the Company to pay damages, royalties, stop offering the relevant products and/or cease other activities. The Company may also be called upon to indemnify certain customers for costs related to products sold to such customers. The outcome of these claims and notices is uncertain and a reasonable estimate of the loss from unfavorable outcomes in certain of these matters either cannot be determined or is estimated at the minimum amount of a range of estimates. The actual loss could be material and may vary significantly from our estimates.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had a liability of $
The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in certain other pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these other pending 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. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment due to a change in the composition of reporting units. The Company performed impairment testing immediately before and after the change and determined that
Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and right of use 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 adjusted to 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The new guidance is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to improve comparability in accounting for these transactions. The amendments in this guidance clarify the interaction of accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The impact of adopting this new guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance. The impact of adopting this new guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Issued but Not Adopted
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share, along with expanded disclosures. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2022 and early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, respectively. Together, the ASUs provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. The Company can elect to apply the amendments through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2021, management shifted certain product lines from the Company’s Broadband segment to its Home segment to better align the Home segment with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business.
3. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Disaggregated Net Sales
The majority of the Company’s net sales are product sales that are recognized at a point in time. The Company does have some customer arrangements where net sales are recognized over time, but this does not represent a significant portion of consolidated net sales. Contracts with net sales recognized over time are primarily concentrated in the Broadband Networks and Venue and Campus Networks segments. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company determined that the geographic disaggregation of net sales by segment is a more meaningful disaggregation of net sales than net sales disaggregated based on the timing of the transfer of goods, given the relatively low level of net sales recognized over time. Therefore, the presentation of net sales by geographic region in Note 7 has been expanded to include segments and the presentation of net sales based on the timing of the transfer of goods has been eliminated.

There were no material changes to contract asset balances for the three or six months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of changes in estimates or impairments. The change in the contract liability balance from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to upfront support payments recognized over the support term. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue related to contract liabilities at December 31, 2020 of $

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, debt instruments, interest rate derivatives and foreign currency contracts. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were considered representative of their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments, interest rate derivatives and foreign currency contracts were based on indicative quotes.
Fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, measurements using significant other observable inputs fall within Level 2, and measurements using significant unobservable inputs fall within Level 3.
The carrying amounts, estimated fair values and valuation input levels of the Company’s debt instruments, interest rate derivatives and foreign currency contracts as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, are as follows:

7. SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The Company has four reportable segments as described below.
The Broadband Networks (Broadband) segment provides an end-to-end product portfolio serving the telco and cable provider broadband market. The segment includes converged cable access platform, passive optical networking, video systems, access technologies, fiber and coaxial cable, fiber and copper connectivity and hardened closures.
The Outdoor Wireless Networks (OWN) segment focuses on the macro and metro cell markets. The segment includes base station antennas, RF filters, tower connectivity, microwave antennas, metro cell products, cabinets, steel, accessories, Spectrum Access Systems and Comsearch.
The Venue and Campus Networks (VCN) segment targets both public and private networks for campuses, venues, data centers and buildings. The segment combines Wi-Fi and switching, distributed antenna systems, licensed and unlicensed small cells and enterprise fiber and copper infrastructure.
The Home Networks (Home) segment includes subscriber-based solutions that support broadband and video applications. The broadband offerings in the Home segment include devices that provide residential connectivity to a service provider’s network, such as digital subscriber line 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 IP television content delivery and include products such as digital video recorders, high definition set top boxes and hybrid set top devices.
In the second quarter of 2021, management shifted certain product lines from the Company’s Broadband segment to its Home segment to better align with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. All prior period amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.
The following table provides summary financial information by reportable segment:

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In millions, unless otherwise noted)
The Company’s measurement of segment performance is adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization). The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as operating income (loss), adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, asset impairments, equity-based compensation, transaction, transformation 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.
The following table provides net sales, adjusted EBITDA, depreciation expense and additions to property, plant and equipment by reportable segment:

8. 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 cash-based and primarily consist of employee-related costs, which include severance and other one-time termination benefits.
In addition to the employee-related costs, the Company also records other costs associated with restructuring actions such as the gain or loss on the sale of facilities and impairment costs arising from unutilized real estate or equipment. The Company attempts to sell or lease this unutilized space but additional impairment charges may be incurred related to these or other excess assets.
The Company’s net pretax restructuring charges included in restructuring costs, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, by segment, were as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following narrative is an analysis of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. 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 and the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Annual Report).
We discuss certain financial measures in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, including adjusted EBITDA, that differ from measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. 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, Internet Protocol (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 IP television distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms and equipment that delivers data and voice networks to homes. 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.
In the first quarter of 2021, we announced a transformation initiative referred to as CommScope NEXT designed to drive shareholder value through three pillars: focusing on strategies to drive profitable growth, undertaking a full portfolio evaluation and optimizing our business by focusing on efficiency and eliminating unnecessary non-value-added complexity and cost across the business. We believe these efforts are critical to making us more competitive and allowing us to invest in growth and maximize shareholder and stakeholder value. We incurred $58.9 million and $103.3 million of restructuring costs and $21.0 million and $36.7 million of transaction, transformation and integration costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily related to CommScope NEXT. We expect to continue to incur restructuring costs and transaction, transformation and integration costs related to CommScope NEXT and such costs are expected to be material.
As a step in our CommScope NEXT transformation plan, on April 8, 2021, we announced our plan to spin-off the Home Networks business. Below we refer to certain supplementary “Core” financial measures, which reflect the results of our Broadband Networks (Broadband), Outdoor Wireless Networks (OWN) and Venue and Campus Networks (VCN) segments, in the aggregate. Our Core financial measures exclude the results and performance of our Home Networks (Home) segment. See the Segment Results section below for illustration of the aggregation of our Core financial measures. These metrics represent the business segments as we have reported. However, the ultimate definition of the Home Networks business that we expect to spin-off may vary, and future results may differ materially.
In the second quarter of 2021, we shifted certain product lines from our Broadband segment to our Home segment to better align with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. All prior period amounts have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.
24
COVID-19 Update
The COVID-19 outbreak had an adverse impact on our financial performance in 2020 primarily related to decreased demand, supply constraints due to the temporary shutdown of certain of our facilities and increased business continuity costs. We took a variety of actions in 2020 to help mitigate the financial impacts such as headcount reductions, lower capital spending and lower discretionary spending. The negative impact of COVID-19 on our financial performance has eased during the first half of 2021, with network strain driving increased demand for our Broadband segment products in particular. The recovery in demand has also had unfavorable business impacts, including commodity inflation (primarily copper and resins), logistics cost increases and certain component part shortages. We expect certain of these unfavorable impacts to continue into 2022.
The extent of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, including new variants, the effectiveness and adoption of vaccines and related actions taken by domestic and international jurisdictions to maintain and prevent disease spread, and the extent of any financial recession resulting from the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Performance Highlights
The below are highlights of our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods. Core financial measures reflect the results of our Broadband, OWN and VCN segments, in the aggregate. Core financial measures exclude the results of our Home segment. See the Segment Results section below for illustration of the aggregation of our Core financial measures.

Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $82.5 million, or 3.9%, and $121.3 million, or 2.9%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Core net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $261.3 million, or 17.8%, compared to the prior year period with increases in the Broadband segment of $147.3 million, the VCN segment of $84.3 million and the OWN segment of $29.7 million. Core net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $415.8 million, or 14.4%, compared to the prior year period with increases in the Broadband segment of $328.0 million, the VCN segment of $84.4 million and the OWN segment of $3.4 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales in the Home segment decreased $178.8 million and $294.5 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, all our segments experienced supply shortages and extended lead times for certain materials that negatively affected our ability to meet customer demand for our products. We expect these shortages and delays to persist into 2022. In addition, our Broadband segment faced capacity constraints that negatively affected net sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
From a regional perspective, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period, net sales increased in the Caribbean and Latin American (CALA) region by $66.3 million, the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region by $49.8 million, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region by $42.2 million and Canada by $23.6 million. The increases in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were partially offset by a decrease of $99.4 million in the U.S. From a regional perspective, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the CALA region by $100.0 million, the APAC region by $90.1 million, the EMEA region by $40.4 million and Canada by $18.8 million. The increases in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were partially offset by a decrease of $128.0 million in the U.S. For additional information on regional sales by segment, see discussion of Segment Results below and Note 7 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted net sales favorably by approximately 2% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.
Net sales to customers located outside of the U.S. comprised 42.6% and 42.5% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 35.6% and 37.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. For further details by segment, see the section titled “Segment Results” below.

Gross profit (net sales less cost of sales)
Gross profit increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to higher net sales. Gross profit was unfavorably impacted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 by a $40.0 million charge related to the settlement of an intellectual property assertion. Gross profit was also impacted unfavorably by higher freight and material costs as well as pricing pressures related to certain of our OWN segment products that were only partially offset by increased pricing on certain of our VCN segment products. Despite these unfavorable impacts, gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 only slightly declined compared to the prior periods mainly due to favorable product mix.
27
Selling, general and administrative expense
In the first quarter of 2021, we announced a transformation initiative, CommScope NEXT, and in early April 2021, we announced our intention to spin-off our Home Networks business. We are also continuing to integrate the 2019 acquisition of ARRIS International plc (ARRIS), including our work to combine our enterprise resource planning systems. Due to these efforts, we incurred $21.0 million and $36.7 million of transaction, transformation and integration costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $7.6 million and $13.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Transaction, transformation and integration costs during the prior year periods were mainly focused on the integration of the ARRIS business. We expect to continue to incur transaction, transformation and integration costs related to CommScope NEXT, the spin-off of the Home Networks business, and the integration of the ARRIS business, and such costs are expected to be material.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, excluding transaction, transformation and integration costs, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased by $2.0 million and $30.7 million, respectively, primarily due to reductions in bad debt expense of $3.4 million and $17.1 million, respectively, as the aging of our receivables has improved. This reduction in bad debt expense was offset partially by higher variable compensation expense of $3.2 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the prior year period as our year-over-year performance has improved. In addition, we have benefited from cost savings initiatives in back office functions that have allowed us to reinvest in selling and marketing activities in our Core segments.
Research and development expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, research and development (R&D) expense was relatively unchanged compared to the prior year period because decreased spending on Home segment products of $8.4 million was offset by higher spending on Broadband segment products. R&D expense decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to decreased spending on Home segment products of $20.7 million partially offset by increased spending on Broadband segment products of $11.8 million. 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
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization of purchased intangible assets was lower compared to the prior year periods because certain of our intangible assets became fully amortized.
Restructuring costs, net
The restructuring costs recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reflected actions initiated during the first and second quarters of 2021 and included $58.9 million and $92.2 million, respectively, related to CommScope NEXT. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the restructuring costs recorded also reflected $11.1 million related to integrating the ARRIS business. The restructuring costs recorded during the three and six months ended June 20, 2020 were primarily related to integrating the ARRIS business. From a cash perspective, we paid $24.6 million and $31.8 million to settle restructuring liabilities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and expect to pay an additional $26.9 million by the end of 2021 and $64.3 million between 2022 and 2023 related to restructuring actions that have been initiated. Additional restructuring actions related to the CommScope NEXT are expected to be identified and the resulting charges and cash requirements are expected to be material. The Company does not expect to identify significant additional restructuring actions related to the ARRIS integration.
28
Asset impairments
We did not record any asset impairment charges during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million related to our Home Networks reporting unit within our Home segment.

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. The foreign currency loss in the prior year periods was primarily driven by certain unhedged currencies.
Other income, net
Other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was comparable to the prior year period. The change in other income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to higher gains on certain investments compared to the prior year period.

Interest expense and interest income
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower variable interest rates on our senior secured term loan due 2026 (the 2026 Term Loan). Our weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the impact of the interest rate swap and the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, was 5.81% at June 30, 2021, 5.86% at December 31, 2020 and 5.64% at June 30, 2020.
Income tax benefit
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our effective tax rate was 0.4% and 10.7%, respectively, and we recognized a tax benefit of $0.6 million on a pretax loss of $154.4 million and a tax benefit of $30.1 million on a pretax loss of $281.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by $37.3 million related to a foreign tax rate change as well as impacts of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at rates higher than the United States (U.S.) statutory rate, foreign withholding taxes and U.S. anti-deferral provisions. These unfavorable impacts were offset partially by decreases in prior year uncertain tax positions and adjustments related to the finalization of prior year’s tax returns.
29
Our effective income tax rate was 4.5% and 8.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. We recognized a tax benefit of $15.1 million on a pretax loss of $336.2 million and a tax benefit of $46.5 million on a pretax loss of $527.5 million, respectively. Our tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by a goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million, for which minimal tax benefits were recorded, and $20.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of tax expense related to state valuation allowances. Excess tax costs of $3.7 million and $7.8 million related to equity compensation awards also impacted the tax benefit unfavorably for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

NM – Not meaningful
Broadband Networks Segment
Net sales for the Broadband segment increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods due to increased demand for our products and services as service providers enhance their networks to keep pace with broadband demand. Although net sales for the Broadband segment increased, we are still experiencing capacity constraints in certain products that negatively affected our net sales in 2021. We are investing to alleviate these constraints and expect them to begin to ease in the second half of 2021. From a regional perspective, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the CALA region by $69.4 million, the U.S. by $58.9 million and the EMEA region by $22.6 million but decreased in the APAC region by $3.0 million and Canada by $0.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the U.S. by $229.2 million, the CALA region by $84.8 million, the EMEA region by $14.9 million and the APAC region by $5.9 million but decreased in Canada by $6.8 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted Broadband segment net sales favorably by approximately 2% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.
31
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Broadband segment operating income decreased compared to the prior year period despite an increase in sales volumes, due to higher freight and material costs, increased expenses to expand capacity to meet demand, increased restructuring costs of $62.9 million and an intellectual property settlement charge of $20.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Broadband segment operating income increased compared to the prior year period due to increased sales volumes, partially offset by higher freight and material costs, increased expenses to expand capacity to meet demand, increased restructuring costs of $68.1 million and the intellectual property settlement charge of $20.0 million. Broadband segment adjusted EBITDA increased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher sales volumes. Restructuring costs and intellectual property settlements are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.
Outdoor Wireless Networks Segment
Although OWN segment net sales increased year over year for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales were negatively affected by supply shortages of certain materials that hindered our ability to meet customer demand. OWN segment net sales increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in spending on macro tower solutions in the APAC region and Canada. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, these favorable impacts were partially offset by a slowdown in sales of wireless network equipment to certain U.S. service provider customers in the first quarter of 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment net sales increased in the APAC region by $15.2 million, Canada by $12.3 million and the U.S. by $8.9 million, and decreased in the CALA region by $5.5 million and the EMEA region by $1.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment net sales increased in the APAC region by $37.1 million, Canada by $25.7 million and the EMEA region by $4.4 million and decreased in the U.S. by $60.9 million and the CALA region by $2.9 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted OWN segment net sales favorably by approximately 2% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to increased sales volumes, partially offset by pricing pressure on certain products and higher material costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA decreased compared to the prior year period, despite the increase in net sales, primarily due to pricing pressures on certain products, higher material costs and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by benefits from cost savings initiatives. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment operating income was also favorably impacted by lower amortization expense which is excluded from adjusted EBITDA. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.
Venue and Campus Networks Segment
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the VCN segment with higher net sales of Ruckus products and enterprise products, partially offset by lower net sales of distributed antenna systems. Net sales of Ruckus products increased year over year despite shortages of certain materials that negatively affected our ability to meet customer demand. We expect this supply shortage to continue into 2022. From a regional perspective, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the APAC region by $33.3 million, the EMEA region by $22.8 million, the U.S. by $15.2 million, Canada by $6.8 million and the CALA region by $6.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the APAC region by $56.1 million, the EMEA region by $28.1 million, the CALA region by $8.5 million and Canada by $6.6 million and decreased in the U.S. by $14.9 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted VCN segment net sales favorably by approximately 2% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, VCN segment operating loss decreased and adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher sales volumes and favorable pricing impacts on certain products, partially offset by higher material and freight costs as well as unfavorable geographic and product mix. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.
32
Home Networks Segment
Net sales for the Home segment decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to continuing declines in demand for video products from both U.S. and international service providers as well as the negative impact of supply shortages and delays on our ability to meet customer demand. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net sales decreased in the U.S. by $182.4 million, the CALA region by $3.8 million and the APAC region by $3.3 million and increased in the EMEA region by $5.6 million and Canada by $5.1 million. From a regional perspective, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales decreased in the U.S. by $281.4 million, the APAC region by $9.0 million, the EMEA region by $7.0 million and Canada by $6.7 million and increased in the CALA region by $9.6 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted Home segment net sales favorably by approximately 1% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Home segment operating loss decreased primarily due to a prior year period goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million. Asset impairment charges are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. Excluding the impact of the prior year goodwill impairment charge, Home segment operating loss increased and adjusted EBITDA decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower sales volumes and higher warranty costs, partially offset by benefits from cost savings initiatives. Home segment operating loss was also unfavorably impacted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 by higher transaction, transformation and integration costs of $10.4 million and $15.5 million, respectively, and an intellectual property settlement charge of $20.0 million in the current year periods. Home segment transaction, transformation and integration costs were primarily related to the announced planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. Transaction, transformation and integration costs and intellectual property settlements are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Working capital consisted of current assets of $3,497.4 million less current liabilities of $2,096.0 million at June 30, 2021. Working capital consisted of current assets of $3,354.5 million less current liabilities of $1,953.4 million at December 31, 2020. |
|
(2) |
Total capitalization includes long-term debt, including the current portion, Series A convertible preferred stock (the 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, availability under our credit facilities and potential distributions related to the spin-off of the Home Networks business. 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, voluntary debt repayments or redemptions, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, transaction separation costs, transformation costs, restructuring costs, acquisition integration costs, dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock if we elect to pay such dividends in cash, litigation settlements and income tax payments. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations, combined with availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the 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 additional amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility or issue debt 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 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section below, but also give pro forma effect to certain events, including acquisitions, synergies and savings from cost reduction initiatives such as facility closures and headcount reductions. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, our pro forma adjusted EBITDA, as measured pursuant to the indentures governing our notes, was $1,402.8 million, which included annualized synergies expected to be mostly realized within the next year ($10.9 million) and annualized savings expected from cost reduction initiatives ($90.3 million) so that the impact of the synergies and cost reduction initiatives is fully reflected in the twelve-month period used in the calculation of the ratios. In addition to limitations under these indentures, our senior secured credit facilities contain customary negative covenants based on similar financial measures. We believe we are in compliance with the covenants under our indentures and senior secured credit facilities at June 30, 2021.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily driven by cash paid for capital expenditures of $60.2 million, cash dividends paid for the Convertible Preferred Stock of $28.7 million, tax withholding payments for vested equity-based compensation awards of $24.6 million and a payment to settle a net investment hedge of $18.0 million, partially offset by cash generated from operating activities of $67.6 million. We expect cash generation to be lower in 2021 than the prior year as we continue to expand capacity for our Broadband segment and invest in CommScope NEXT initiatives. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 62% of our cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S.
Working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents and the current portion of long-term debt, increased during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to higher accounts receivable balances due to the timing of net sales and higher inventory balances, offset partially by higher accounts payable balances due to timing. The net reduction in total capitalization during the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflected the net loss for the period and foreign currency translation losses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the increase in cash used in investing activities was driven by a payment made to settle a net investment hedge and an increase of $12.5 million in our investment in property, plant and equipment that 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, the increase in cash used in financing activities was driven by the prior year impact of the $250.0 million borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility as a precautionary measure to reinforce our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty in the global economy at that time resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We subsequently repaid the amount in July 2020. As of June 30, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had availability of $729.7 million, reflecting a borrowing base of $771.5 million reduced by $41.8 million of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility.
In the prior year period, we also redeemed $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.00% senior notes due 2021. We may redeem or 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, among other reasons, lower borrowing costs, extend the term or adjust the total amount of fixed or floating-rate debt.
Also impacting cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was the increase of $28.7 million in cash dividends paid for the Convertible Preferred Stock. In the prior year period, the dividends for the Convertible Preferred Stock were paid in additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received proceeds of $3.9 million related to the exercise of stock options compared to $0.9 million in the prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, employees surrendered 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 $24.6 million compared to $6.3 million in the prior year period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We were not party to any significant off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
35
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 term non-GAAP 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 June 30, 2021 provides an additional tool for assessing our recent performance. Such amounts are unaudited and are derived by subtracting the data for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the data for the year ended December 31, 2020 and then adding the data for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
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 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as presented in this section, but also give pro forma effect to certain events, including acquisitions and savings from cost reduction initiatives such as facility closures and headcount reductions.

Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA
Segment adjusted EBITDA is provided as a performance measure in Note 7 in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Below we reconcile segment adjusted EBITDA for each segment individually to operating income (loss) for that segment to supplement the reconciliation of the total segment adjusted EBITDA to consolidated operating loss in that footnote.

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 statements may discuss goals, intentions or expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition or otherwise, in each case, based on current beliefs and expectations of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by their use of such terms and phrases as “intend,” “goal,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “projections,” “plans,” “potential,” “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 forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control, including, without limitation, risks related to the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business, including uncertainty regarding whether such transaction will be commenced or completed and the timing and value of such transaction; risks related to the potential separation of the Home Networks business; our ability to integrate and fully realize anticipated benefits from prior or future divestitures, acquisitions or equity investments; selling or discontinuing one or more of our product lines; 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; 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 we and our customers operate; product quality or performance issues and associated warranty claims; our ability to maintain effective management information technology systems and to successfully implement major systems initiatives; 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; the use of open standards; the long-term impact of climate change; 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; substantial indebtedness and restrictive 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; 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 and potential changes to laws and policies as a result of a new administration in the United States, that may impact our products; cost 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; the scope, duration and impact of disease outbreaks and pandemics, such as COVID-19, on our business including employees, sites, operations, customers, supply chain and the global economy; 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. These and other factors are discussed in greater detail in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and may be updated from time to time in our annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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
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 2020 Annual Report, as filed with the SEC on February 17, 2021.
39
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
Reference should be made to our 2020 Annual Report for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
40
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is party to certain intellectual property claims and also periodically receives notices asserting that its products infringe on another party’s patents and other intellectual property rights. These claims and assertions, whether against the Company directly or against its customers, could require the Company to pay damages, royalties, stop offering the relevant products and/or cease other activities. The Company may also be called upon to indemnify certain customers for costs related to products sold to such customers. The outcome of these claims and notices is uncertain and a reasonable estimate of the loss from unfavorable outcomes in certain of these matters either cannot be determined or is estimated at the minimum amount of a range of estimates. The actual loss could be material and may vary significantly from our estimates.
The Company is also either a plaintiff or a defendant in certain other pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these pending 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.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks which could cause actual results to vary from recent results or from anticipated future results. Other than the supplemental risk factor previously reported in Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which risk factor is incorporated herein by reference, there have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in Part I - Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
