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 the core, access and edge layers of 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 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 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. 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 Annual Report). Other than the changes described below to revenue recognition policies as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, there were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, 2018. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the 2017 Annual Report.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The majority of the Company’s revenue is from product sales. Revenue from product sales is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, typically upon either shipment or delivery. A minor portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from project contracts containing a combination of product and service obligations. Revenue from project contracts is recognized either at a point in time or over time using cost input methods, based on the specific terms of each contract.
For project contracts containing multiple distinct performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated based on the relative standalone estimated selling price of each performance obligation. The relative standalone selling price is determined using current price lists and observable pricing in separate contracts with similar customers. For performance obligations recognized over-time, judgment is required to evaluate assumptions, including the total estimated costs to determine progress towards completion of the performance obligation and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the entire estimated loss is recognized in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effects on revenue from revisions to total estimated costs are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.

(In thousands, unless otherwise noted)
The Company also recognizes revenue from other customer contract types, including licensing of intellectual property, software licensing and post-contract support (PCS) which may be sold as part of a bundled product offering or as a separate contract. For bundled product arrangements, the transaction price is allocated based on the relative standalone estimated selling price of each performance obligation. Distinct intellectual property obligations, including software, are considered functional in nature and are recognized as revenue at the point in time the customer receives the rights to use and benefit from the intellectual property or are determined using a usage-based royalty. PCS obligations are typically recognized over the term of the contract.
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, based on customer contracts. For sales to distributors, system integrators and value-added resellers (primarily for the CommScope Connectivity Solutions (CCS) segment), revenue is adjusted for variable consideration amounts, including estimated discounts, returns, rebates and distributor price protection programs. These estimates are determined based upon historical experience, contract terms, inventory levels in the distributor channel and other related factors. Adjustments to variable consideration estimates are recorded when circumstances indicate revisions may be necessary.
The Company records a contract asset for unbilled accounts receivable related to revenue that has been recognized in advance of consideration being unconditionally due from the customer, which is common for certain project contract performance obligations. Contract asset amounts are transferred to accounts receivable when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional, which varies by contract, but is generally based on achieving certain acceptance milestones.
A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on project or services arrangements.
Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions
Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for 11% of the Company’s total net sales during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Net sales to Anixter accounted for 12% and 11% of the Company’s total net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the CCS segment. Net sales to KGP Companies (KGPCo) accounted for 10% of the Company’s net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2018 but did not exceed 10% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 or the three or six months ended June 30, 2017. KGPCo provides supply chain management to operators deploying wired and wireless networks in the United States (U.S.) and services end-users of both of the Company’s segments. Other than Anixter and KGPCo, no direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three or six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.
Accounts receivable from Anixter accounted for 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2018. Other than Anixter, no direct customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of June 30, 2018.
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 periods ranging from one to twenty-five years from the date of sale, depending upon the product subject to the warranty. 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.

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. There were no goodwill impairments identified during the three or six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.
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 or six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.

(In thousands, unless otherwise noted)
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted tax reform legislation that reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% and included a broad range of complex provisions affecting the taxation of businesses. Generally, financial statement recognition of the new legislation would be required to be completed in the period of enactment; however, in response to the complexities of this new legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 to provide companies with transitional relief. Specifically, when the initial accounting for items under the new legislation is incomplete, the guidance allows the recognition of provisional amounts when reasonable estimates can be made or the continued application of the prior tax law if a reasonable estimate of the effect cannot be made. The SEC staff has provided up to one year from the date of enactment for companies to finalize the accounting for the effects of this new legislation. Although no changes were made to the provisional amounts during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company expects to refine the calculations as additional analysis is completed and as a more thorough understanding of the new tax law is reached. The changes made could be material to income tax expense.
The effective income tax rate of 36.0% and 33.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, 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 new 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 $0.4 million and $4.7 million of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
The effective income tax rate of 30.3% and 22.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, was lower than the statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the favorable impact of $4.4 million and $13.1 million of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The effective income tax rate was also favorably affected by the impact of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that the Company did not plan to repatriate. These earnings were generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate. Offsetting these decreases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was the effect of the provision for state income taxes.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on net income 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 awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met (2.2 million shares and 1.7 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and 0.7 million shares and 0.5 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, including all subsequently issued clarifying guidance, on January 1, 2018. The core principle of the new guidance is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of applying the standard on the date of adoption recognized in retained earnings (accumulated deficit).
Revenue recognition for the Company’s product sales remained generally consistent with historical practice. However, the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 resulted in acceleration of revenue recognition for certain project contracts containing integrated product and service obligations, primarily within the CommScope Mobility Solutions (CMS) segment. These multi-element contracts represented less than 2.0% of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. For these contracts, certain performance obligations are recognized over time using cost-based input methods, which recognize revenue and cost of sales based on the relationship between actual costs incurred compared to the total estimated cost for the performance obligation. Based on contracts in effect at January 1, 2018, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment, net of tax, of $3.4 million, which reduced the accumulated deficit on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This adjustment reflects an acceleration of revenues of $8.0 million.
The impact of adoption of the new revenue recognition standard on our condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows:

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, on January 1, 2018. This new guidance modifies how entities measure equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting) and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; changes presentation and disclosure requirements; and clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes, Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory, on January 1, 2018. Under previous guidance, the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers were deferred until the transferred asset was sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The new guidance eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, the tax effect of an intra-entity asset sale would be recognized when the transfer occurs. The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $2.6 million as of January 1, 2018 that decreased the accumulated deficit on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of this new guidance.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, on January 1, 2018. The new standard requires an employer to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employee and requires the other components of net periodic benefit cost to be reported outside the subtotal of operating income. Of the total $1.3 million of net periodic benefit income for the three months ended June 30, 2018, $2.3 million of net periodic benefit income was recorded in other income (expense), net, and $1.0 million of net periodic benefit cost was recorded within operating income. Of the total $2.4 million of net periodic benefit income for the six months ended June 30, 2018, $4.6 million of net periodic benefit income was recorded in other income (expense), net, and $2.2 million of net periodic benefit cost was recorded within operating income. The Company utilized the practical expedient and used the amounts disclosed in its employee benefit plans note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as the basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. The Company reclassified $1.4 million and $2.8 million of net periodic benefit income from operating income to other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the previously reported income before income taxes or net income for the three or six months ended June 30, 2017.
The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, on January 1, 2018. The new guidance provides targeted improvements to the hedge accounting model intended to allow financial reporting to more closely reflect an entity’s risk management activities and to simplify the application of hedge accounting. Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company has elected to assess the effectiveness of its net investment hedges using the spot rate method. As a result, differences between the spot rate and the forward rate will be amortized on a straight-line basis to other income (expense), net over the life of the contract. See Note 6 for the details on the impact of this change to the financial statements.
Issued but Not Adopted
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to elect reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for certain tax effects resulting from the U.S. tax legislation enacted in 2017. ASU No. 2018-02 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to elect the permitted reclassification and therefore does not expect the new guidance to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will 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. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and when it may be 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 is evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and when it may be adopted.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which supersedes the current leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. 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. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements but expects the only significant impact of the ASU to be the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

The goodwill arising from the purchase price allocation of the Cable Exchange acquisition is believed to result from the Company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
As additional information is obtained, adjustments may be made to the preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company is still finalizing the estimated fair value of certain liabilities assumed.
