Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Background and Basis of Presentation

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 and entertainment networks. The Company’s 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. The Company’s solutions are complemented by a broad array of services including technical support, systems design and integration. CommScope is a leader in digital video and IP television distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms and equipment that delivers data and voice networks to homes. 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.

As of January 1, 2022, the Company reorganized its internal management and reporting structure to align its portfolio of products and solutions more closely with the markets it serves and bring better performance clarity with its competitive peer set. The reorganization changed the information regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, the Company is now reporting financial performance based on the following operating segments: Connectivity and Cable Solutions (CCS), Outdoor Wireless Networks (OWN), Networking, Intelligent Cellular and Security Solutions (NICS), Access Network Solutions (ANS) and Home Networks (Home). These five segments represent non-aggregated reportable operating segments. Prior to this change, the Company operated and reported four operating segments: Broadband Networks (Broadband), Outdoor Wireless Networks (OWN), Venue and Campus Networks (VCN) and Home Networks (Home). All prior period amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.

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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (U.S.) 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, 2021 (the 2021 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 2021 Annual Report. There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions

No direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021. As of June 30, 2022, no direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable.

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.

As of June 30, 2022, funds affiliated with Carlyle Partners VII S1 Holdings, L.P. (Carlyle) owned 100% of the Series A convertible preferred stock (the Convertible Preferred Stock), which was sold to Carlyle to fund a portion of the acquisition of ARRIS International plc (ARRIS) in 2019. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Other than transactions related to the Convertible Preferred Stock, there were no material related party transactions for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

Commitments and Contingencies

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 accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Product warranty accrual, beginning of period	$	66.0		$	62.1		$	66.8		$	59.5
Provision for warranty claims		7.1			12.6			12.2			23.2
Warranty claims paid		(11.7	)		(5.4	)		(17.7	)		(13.1	)
Foreign exchange		(0.5	)		0.2			(0.4	)		(0.1	)
Product warranty accrual, end of period	$	60.9		$	69.5		$	60.9		$	69.5

Third Party Guarantees

The Company was contingently liable under open standby letters of credit issued by its banks in favor of third parties that totaled $42.5 million as of June 30, 2022. These letters of credit primarily support performance obligations of a third-party contractor. These amounts represent an estimate of the maximum amounts the Company would expect to incur upon the contractual non-performance of the third-party contractor, but the Company also has cross-indemnities in place that may enable it to recover amounts in the event of non-performance by the third-party contractor. The Company believes the likelihood of having to perform under these guarantees is remote. There were no material amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to third-party guarantee agreements as of or for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, these instruments reduced the available borrowings under the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility).

Legal Proceedings

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, incur 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 claims made regarding certain products sold to such customers. From time to time, the Company may also be involved as a plaintiff involving intellectual property claims. The outcome of these claims and assertions 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 the Company's estimates. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when they are realized.

The Company had liabilities of $22.3 million and $24.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, recorded in accrued and other liabilities and noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to certain intellectual property claims and assertions. Charges related to these intellectual property claims and assertions were not material for the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a charge to cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of $40.0 million and $41.5 million, respectively, related to these intellectual property claims and assertions. These amounts are reflected in the results of the Home, ANS and NICS segments for the prior year periods. The Company paid $2.7 million and $9.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and paid $4.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 to settle intellectual property claims and assertions.

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. The Company assessed goodwill for impairment due to a change in the composition of certain reporting units resulting from the new segment structure as of January 1, 2022. The Company performed impairment testing immediately before and after the change and determined that no goodwill impairment existed. See Note 2 for further discussion. There were no goodwill impairments identified during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with finite lives and right of use assets 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 no definite-lived intangible or other long-lived asset impairments identified during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Income Taxes

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $14.5 million on a pretax loss of $75.5 million and $16.4 million of income tax expense on a pretax loss of $184.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s change in income tax was driven by the unfavorable impacts of U.S. anti-deferral provisions and non-creditable withholding taxes. These unfavorable impacts were offset partially by decreases in prior year uncertain tax positions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.4% and 10.7%, respectively, and the Company 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, the Company’s 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 U.S. statutory rate, foreign withholding taxes and U.S. anti-deferral provisions. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by decreases in prior year uncertain tax positions and adjustments related to the finalization of the prior year’s tax returns.

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.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 12.3 million and 11.9 million shares, respectively, of outstanding equity-based compensation awards were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect was antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met. Of those amounts, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 1.1 million and 2.4 million shares, respectively, would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 10.4 million and 12.9 million shares, respectively, of outstanding equity-based compensation awards were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect was antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met. Of those amounts, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 4.4 million and 5.4 million shares, respectively, would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 38.9 million and 38.7 million, respectively, of as-if converted shares related to the Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from the diluted share count because they were antidilutive. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 37.9 million of as-if converted shares related to the Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from the diluted share count because they were antidilutive. These shares may have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (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. The impact of adopting this new guidance was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2022, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance is expected to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability, as well as payment terms which affect subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. According to the guidance, at the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. The impact of this guidance will depend on future business combinations and will be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the adoption date. The adoption of this new guidance had no impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Issued but Not Adopted

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. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not utilized any of the expedients discussed within this ASU; however, management continues to assess the Company's agreements to determine whether the expedients would be utilized through the remainder of 2022.

See Note 7 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report for additional information on the terms and conditions of the Company’s debt obligations.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company borrowed $210.0 million and repaid $160.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had availability of $671.1 million, after giving effect to borrowing base limitations and outstanding letters of credit.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made quarterly scheduled amortization payments of $8.0 million and $16.0 million, respectively, on the senior secured term loan due in 2026 (the 2026 Term Loan). The current portion of long-term debt reflects $32.0 million of repayments due under the 2026 Term Loan.

The Company did not reflect any portion of the 2026 Term Loan as a current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2022 related to the potentially required excess cash flow payment because the amount that may be payable in 2023, if any, cannot currently be reliably estimated. There is no excess cash flow payment required in 2022 related to 2021.

Other Matters

The Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries held $2,838 million, or 22%, of total assets and $1,073 million, or 9%, of total liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and accounted for $696 million, or 30%, and $1,366 million, or 30%, of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held $3,143 million, or 24%, of total assets and $1,077 million, or 9%, of total liabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for $677 million, or 31%, and $1,296 million, or 30%, of net sales, respectively. All amounts presented exclude intercompany balances.

The 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 6.11% and 5.74% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are as follows:


	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Valuation Inputs
Assets:
Foreign currency contracts	$	2.4	$	2.4	$	5.7	$	5.7	Level 2
Interest rate swap contracts		3.3		3.3		—		—	Level 2

8.25% senior notes due 2027		1,000.0		802.5		1,000.0		1,023.8	Level 2
6.00% senior notes due 2025		1,300.0		1,124.5		1,300.0		1,300.0	Level 2
4.75% senior secured notes due 2029		1,250.0		1,007.2		1,250.0		1,240.3	Level 2
6.00% senior secured notes due 2026		1,500.0		1,388.3		1,500.0		1,554.4	Level 2
Senior secured term loan due 2026		3,112.0		2,808.6		3,128.0		3,092.8	Level 2

Foreign currency contracts		5.9		5.9		0.8		0.8	Level 2
Interest rate swap contracts		—		—		11.8		11.8	Level 2

These fair value estimates are based on pertinent information available to management as of the valuation date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect these fair value estimates, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented.

Restructuring Costs (Credits), Net

8. RESTRUCTURING COSTS (CREDITS), NET

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 activity included in restructuring costs (credits), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, by segment, were as follows:

Equity-Based Compensation Plans

As of June 30, 2022, $125.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 2.3 years. There were no significant capitalized equity-based compensation costs at June 30, 2022.

The following table shows a summary of the equity-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

Total equity-based compensation expense	$	12.3	$	16.4	$	28.9	$	40.0

Stock Options

Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the Company’s stock price at the date of grant. These awards generally vest over five years following the grant date and have a contractual term of ten years.

The following table summarizes the stock option activity (in millions, except per share data and years):


	Shares			Weighted Average Option Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Options outstanding at March 31, 2022		2.6		$	24.77
Expired		(0.1	)	$	26.56
Options outstanding at June 30, 2022		2.5		$	24.79		3.9	$	—

Options outstanding at December 31, 2021		2.7		$	24.59
Expired		(0.2	)	$	24.68
Options outstanding at June 30, 2022		2.5		$	24.79		3.9	$	—
Options vested at June 30, 2022		2.2		$	25.68		3.6	$	—
Options unvested at June 30, 2022		0.3		$	17.91		6.8	$	—

The exercise prices of outstanding options at June 30, 2022 were in the following ranges (in millions, except per share data and years):


	Options Outstanding						Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Shares		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life in Years		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
$5.50 to $18.50		0.1		4.8	$	11.05		0.1	$	10.65
$18.51 to $30.00		1.6		4.2	$	19.76		1.3	$	19.98
$30.01 to $45.00		0.8		3.2	$	36.35		0.8	$	36.35
$5.50 to $45.00		2.5		3.9	$	24.79		2.2	$	25.68

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 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 zero. There were no stock option awards granted during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs entitle the holder to shares of common stock after a vesting period that generally ranges from one to three years. The fair value of the awards is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price.

The following table summarizes the RSU activity (in millions, except per share data):


	Restricted Stock Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested share units at March 31, 2022		8.0		$	14.42
Granted		5.6		$	7.83
Vested and shares issued		(1.1	)	$	20.34
Forfeited		(0.6	)	$	15.25
Non-vested share units at June 30, 2022		11.9		$	10.68

Non-vested share units at December 31, 2021		10.4		$	15.04
Granted		7.2		$	8.03
Vested and shares issued		(4.8	)	$	15.26
Forfeited		(0.9	)	$	15.41
Non-vested share units at June 30, 2022		11.9		$	10.68

Performance Share Units

PSUs are stock awards in which the number of shares ultimately received by the employee depends on achievement toward a performance measure. Certain of CommScope’s PSUs have an internal performance measure and the awards vest at the end of three years. The number of shares issued under these awards can vary between 0% and 300% of the number of PSUs granted. The fair value of these awards is determined on the date of grant based on the Company's stock price.

CommScope also has PSUs with a market condition performance measure based on stock price milestones over a three-year period. The number of shares issued under these awards can vary between 0% to 100% of the number of PSUs granted. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted certain other PSUs with a market condition based on the Company’s total stockholder return (TSR) ranking relative to the S&P 500 TSR for a three-year period. The number of shares issued under these awards can vary between 0% to 200% of the number of PSUs granted. The Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of PSUs with a market condition performance measure at the date of grant. Key assumptions used in the model include the risk-free interest rate, which reflects the yield on zero-coupon U.S. treasury securities, and stock price volatility, which is derived based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock.

The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these awards granted:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Risk-free interest rate		2.8	%		0.4	%		1.7	%		0.4	%
Expected volatility		64.4	%		55.0	%		61.2	%		56.0	%
Weighted average fair value at grant date	$	9.94		$	12.01		$	11.21		$	11.21

The following table summarizes the PSU activity (in millions, except per share data):


	Performance Share Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested share units at March 31, 2022		3.2		$	8.30
Granted		0.2		$	8.65

- Definition

Total of all stockholders' equity (deficit) items, net of receivables from officers, directors, owners, and affiliates of the entity which are attributable to the parent. The amount of the economic entity's stockholders' equity attributable to the parent excludes the amount of stockholders' equity which is allocable to that ownership interest in subsidiary equity which is not attributable to the parent (noncontrolling interest, minority interest). This excludes temporary equity and is sometimes called permanent equity.
