GENERAL
Overview
Viavi Solutions Inc.
(“
Viavi
,” also referred to as “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), formerly JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”), is a global provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions to communications service providers, enterprises and their ecosystems, supported by a worldwide channel community. Our solutions deliver end-to-end visibility across physical, virtual and hybrid networks, enabling customers to optimize connectivity, quality of experience and profitability. Viavi is also a leader in high performance thin film optical coatings, providing light management solutions to anti-counterfeiting, consumer and industrial, government and healthcare and other markets. On August 1, 2015, we completed the separation (“Separation”) of our optical components and lasers business and created two publicly-traded companies:
|
•
|
an optical components and commercial lasers company, Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“
Lumentum
”), consisting of our former Communications and Commercial Optical Products (“
CCOP
”) segment and the WaveReady product line within our Network Enablement (“
NE
”) segment; and
|
|
•
|
a network and service enablement and optical coatings company, renamed
Viavi
, consisting of our
NE
, Service Enablement (“
SE
”) and Optical Security and Performance Products (“
OSP
”) segments.
|
In connection with the Separation we distributed approximately 80.1% of the outstanding shares of Lumentum common stock to our stockholders on August 1, 2015. The Company was renamed
Viavi
and, at the time of the distribution, retained ownership of approximately 19.9% of
Lumentum
’s outstanding shares. Activities related to the Lumentum business have been presented as discontinued operations in all periods of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the accompanying disclosures, discussion and analysis herein pertains to the Company’s continuing operations, unless noted otherwise.
To serve our markets, during fiscal
2016
we operated the following business segments:
|
•
|
Network Enablement
|
|
•
|
Service Enablement
|
|
•
|
Optical Security and Performance Products
|
Industry Trends
NE and SE
There is a convergence of multiple technologies taking place in the networking industry to meet the needs of increased network capacity and faster transmission speeds across the physical network and across the airwaves. In order to meet these demand challenges, the network needs to be more agile, flexible, programmable and cost-effective. This will require networks to transition from a hardware-centric approach to a virtualized software-centric approach. These transformative changes in the network are driving the shift to software defined networking (“
SDN
”) and network function virtualization (“
NFV
”).
Our NE and SE products and solutions are well positioned to meet these industry trends in the deployment of next generation network technologies. There is a race towards providing 1 gigabit per second (“Gbps”) speed with the deployment of optical fiber-to-the-home (“
FTTH
”) and to “everywhere” (“FTTx”). Cable service providers are investing in high speed connection and increased bandwidth availability with the deployment of DOCSIS 3.1. Network service providers are also upgrading digital subscriber line (“DSL”) to G.fast technology. With the growing number of connected smart mobile devices and demand for high-speed broadband access to support video and other high-bandwidth applications, capacity is increasing at the edge of the network pushing the expansion of the overall network and larger links along with new networks requiring re-architecture for scalability and flexibility. Over the airwaves, 5G is expected to augment and expand the 4G/Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) wireless technology within the next five years which is expected to provide 100x faster speeds (about 1 Gbps) and 50x lower latency time (about 1 millisecond). All this network expansion and new technology deployment requires sophisticated network monitoring and assurance of quality of the overall network.

OSP
Counterfeiting of bank notes and other goods is on the rise because counterfeiters now have access to a broad range of advanced but relatively low-cost imaging technologies and printing tools giving them the ability to create convincing simulations of actual documents and products for illicit purposes. At the same time, the penalties for counterfeiting can often be relatively modest when compared to the penalties for other crimes. We have decades of anti-counterfeiting expertise leveraging our Optically Variable Pigment (“
OVP®
”), and more recently our Optically Variable Magnetic Pigment (“
OVMP®
”) technologies to protect the integrity of banknotes and other high-value documents by delivering optical effects that are very easy for consumers to recognize but also very difficult for counterfeiters to reproduce. We also provide optical technologies for government, healthcare, consumer electronics and industrial markets.
In addition to network and anti-counterfeiting solutions, we extend our technology expertise to solve complex problems and deliver unique solutions in other industries. For example, we manufacture and sell optical filters for 3D sensing products that separate out ambient light from incoming data to allow devices to be controlled by a person’s movements or gestures.
Sales and Marketing
Communication service providers (“
CSP
s”), consisting of telecommunications, cable and cloud service providers, make up the majority of NE and SE revenues. We also market and sell our products to network-equipment manufacturers ("
NEMs
"), original equipment manufacturers (“
OEMs
”), enterprises, governmental organizations, distributors and strategic partners worldwide. We have a dedicated sales force organized around the markets our segments serve that works directly with customers’ executive, technical, manufacturing and purchasing personnel to determine design, performance, and cost requirements. We are also supported by a worldwide channel community, including Viavi’s Velocity Solution Partners who support our NE and SE segments.
A high level of support is a critical part of our strategy to develop and maintain long-term collaborative relationships with our customers. We develop innovative products by engaging our customers at the initial design phase and continue to build that relationship as our customers’ needs change and develop. Service and support are provided through our offices and those of our partners worldwide.
Additional Information
We were incorporated in California in 1979 as Uniphase Corporation and reincorporated in Delaware in 1993. We are the product of several significant mergers and acquisitions including, among others, the combination of Uniphase Corporation and JDS FITEL in 1999. In 2000 we acquired Optical Coatings Lab, Inc., which is currently part of our OSP business, and in 2005 we acquired Acterna, Inc. which is currently part of our Network and Service Enablement (“
NSE
”) business, which consists of our NE and SE segments. Following these acquisitions, we operated as a company comprised of a portfolio of businesses with a focus on optical innovation, communications network and service enablement, commercial lasers and anti-counterfeiting solutions. In August 2015, we separated our portfolio of businesses into two separate publicly-traded companies to gain greater strategic flexibility to address rapidly changing market dynamics. At the same time, we changed our name to Viavi Solutions Inc.
We are subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, pursuant to which we file annual, quarterly and periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the
SEC
. The
SEC
maintains a website (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. We also make available free of charge all of our
SEC
filings on our website at www.viavisolutions.com/investors as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the
SEC
. The information on our web site is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Corporate Strategy
Our objective is to continue to be a leading provider for all markets and industries we serve. In support of our business segments, we are pursuing a corporate strategy that we believe will best position us for future opportunities. The key elements of our corporate strategy include:
|
•
|

|
•
|
Maintain and improve our financial flexibility
|
We
continue to take actions to maintain and improve our financial flexibility in order to support our global business operations and to enable additional investments in growth and innovation. Key elements of this strategy include maintaining a healthy balance sheet with a strong liquidity position, generating positive cash flow, diligently managing our cash conversion cycle, managing our capital structure to minimize cost of capital and preserve access to additional financing, managing capital market risk and refinancing risk with periodic debt issuance and/or maintenance of revolving credit facilities, and maintaining healthy bank relationships.
|
•
|
Build a lean, focused and agile business
|
In August 2015, we completed the Separation of the Lumentum business, which we believe will allow us to manage our remaining businesses with greater agility to respond to the rapidly changing dynamics of these markets. Following the Separation, we plan to focus on increasing our presence in higher-growth markets and realizing cost reductions from streamlined teams and site consolidations.
|
•
|
Invest in profitable, market-based innovation
|
Based on current and anticipated demand, we continue to invest in research and development (“R&D”) and pursue acquisitions and partnerships to develop new technologies, products and services that offer our customers increased value and strengthen our leadership position in our core markets.
|
•
|
Expand our global market presence
|
Long term, we expect growth in Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Therefore, we are developing products, sales, marketing and customer support to meet the specific customer requirements in these regions to serve these customers.
Although we expect to successfully implement our strategy, internal and/or external factors could impact our ability to meet any, or all, of our objectives. These factors are discussed under Item 1A - Risk Factors.
Business Segments
Following the Separation of the Lumentum business on August 1, 2015, we operated in two broad business categories:
NSE
and OSP.
NSE
operates in two reportable segments,
NE
and
SE
, whereas
OSP
operates as a single segment. Our NSE and OSP businesses each are organized with its own engineering, manufacturing and dedicated sales and marketing groups focused on each of the markets we serve to better support our customers and respond quickly to market needs. In addition, our segments share common corporate services that provide capital, infrastructure, resources and functional support, allowing them to focus on core technological strengths to compete and innovate in their markets.
The table below discloses the percentage of our total net revenue attributable to each of our three reportable segments.

Following the separation from Lumentum, one NSE customer generated more than 10% of Viavi net revenue from continuing operations in fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2014 net revenue from AT&T Inc. represented 11.5% Viavi net revenue from continuing operations. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of Viavi net revenue from continuing operations during fiscal 2016 or 2015.
Trends
Our NE products are well positioned to meet next generation network technology deployment trends. Growing bandwidth demand combined with the rapid pace at which technology continues to evolve are impacting the way that NEMs and operators design, build and deploy new network systems and technologies. Integrating legacy and next generation network technology and services creates new challenges for communications service providers and impact service quality and reliability.
These trends are driving shifts in capital spending in network technologies related 100G Metro optical fiber deployment, a cable upgrade cycle to DOCSIS 3.1, a DSL access upgrade cycle to G.fast as well as increased wireless deployment of 4G/LTE with emerging 5G within the next five years. Our communication service provider customers continue to face pressure to increase their average revenue per user (“ARPU”) and are turning to our NE products solutions to reduce customer service call truck rolls through faster installation and repair completion and improve user satisfaction.

We plan to continue evolving our test instrument portfolio and supporting software to maintain our current leadership position in field test instrumentation. We strive to deliver customer value that includes faster time to revenue, a quality end user experience, increased ARPU, reduced customer churn and lower operating expenses.
Competition
Our NE segment competes against various companies, including Anritsu Corporation, Exfo Inc., Ixia, NetScout Systems Inc. and Spirent Communications plc. While we face multiple competitors for each of our product families, we continue to have one of the broadest portfolios of wireline and wireless products available in the network enablement industry.
Offerings
Viavi
’s NE solutions include instruments and software that support the development and production of network systems in the lab. These solutions activate, certify, troubleshoot and optimize networks that are differentiated through superior efficiency, higher profitability, reliable performance and greater customer satisfaction. Designed to be mobile, these products include instruments and software that access the network to perform installation and maintenance tasks. They help service provider technicians assess the performance of network elements and segments and verify the integrity of the information being transmitted across the network. These instruments are highly intelligent and have user interfaces that are designed to simplify operations and minimize the training required to operate them. Our NE solutions are also used by NEMs in the design and production of next-generation network equipment. Thorough testing by NEMs plays a critical role in producing the components and equipment that are the building blocks of network infrastructure. We leverage our installed base and knowledge of network management methods and procedures to develop these advanced customer experience solutions.
The company also offers a range of product support and professional services designed to comprehensively address our customers’ requirements. These services include repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for our products. We offer product and technology training as well as consulting services. Our professional services, provided in conjunction with system integration projects, include project management, installation and implementation.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we re-grouped our NE products and associated services from seven product groupings to three as described below:
6
Wireline:
Primarily consisting of (a) Access and Cable products (formerly components of Media, Access and Content); (b) Fiber Instrument products (formerly a component of Fiber) and (c) Metro products (formerly a component of Ethernet).
Wireless:
Consisting of Wireless products which were formerly a component of Mobility.
Lab:
Primarily consisting of (a) Capacity Advisor products (formerly a component of Mobility); (b) Fiber Optical Transport Products (formerly a component of Fiber); (c) Optical Transport products (formerly a component of Ethernet); and (d) Storage Network Test products (formerly a component of Cloud and Data Center).
Additionally, following the Separation we no longer sell products or services from the WaveReady product line. We also moved our Video Assurance products (formerly a component of Media, Access and Content) to our SE segment. For the purposes of providing year-over-year variance analysis in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have reflected these changes for all prior periods presented so that they are comparable with our current groupings.
Service Enablement
Our SE segment is a provider of embedded systems and enterprise performance management solutions to global
CSP
s and enterprises with visibility into network, service and application data. Our portfolio of SE solutions - which primarily consist of instruments, microprobes and software - address the same lab and production environments, field deployment and service assurance for wireless and fixed communications networks, including storage networks, as our NE portfolio. Our SE solutions allow carriers to remotely monitor performance and quality of network, service and applications performance throughout the entire network. Remote monitoring decreases operating expenses, while early detection helps provide increased uptime, preserves revenue, and allows operators to better monetize their networks.
Markets
Our SE segment provides solutions and services primarily for communication service providers and enterprises that deliver and/or operate broadband/IP networks (fixed and mobile) supporting voice, video and data services as well as a wide range of applications. These solutions provide network and application visibility to enable more cost-effective ways to provide a higher-quality customer experience.
Customers
SE customers include similar CSPs, NEMs, government organizations, large corporate customers, and storage-segment customers that are served by our NE segment.
Trends
Our Service Enablement solutions portfolio is a result of several acquisitions made during the past several years to address the network industry shift to a more agile, flexible, programmable, and cost-effective virtualized software-centric network.
CSP
s along with hyperscale data centers are adopting
SDN
and
NFV
which our SE solutions address. Network operators require improved network visibility and intelligence in order to ensure reliable network and service performance as well as identify locations for more optimal network deployment and expansion. Traditional data centers are becoming legacy networks that are not programmable and difficult to integrate with third-party applications and have given rise to cloud networks that provide greater network agility and programmability. Our Enterprise product and solutions offerings address customers’ needs to support data center network traffic through application and performance monitoring.
CSP
s are increasingly demanding Ethernet assurance solutions to provide active performance monitoring and validate the quality of service of the networks.
While the network industry is shifting towards SDN and NFV, in fiscal 2016 we experienced a decline in SE net revenue compared to fiscal 2015 and certain growth products will require a longer investment cycle than originally expected. In accordance with the authoritative guidance, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $91.4 million related to our SE segment in fiscal 2016. Refer to “
Note 9. Goodwill
” included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Strategy
We plan to evolve the SE portfolio and determine which products/solutions we believe will provide meaningful return on investment (“ROI”) and devote greater focus in these areas to drive profitability.
Competition
Our NE and SE segments compete against many of the same companies. Competitors of SE include NetScout Systems, Inc. Riverbed Technology, and Spirent Communications plc. While we face multiple competitors for each of our product families, we
7
continue to have one of the broadest portfolios of wireline and wireless monitoring solutions available in the service enablement industry.
Offerings
Viavi
’s SE solutions are embedded network systems-including microprobes and software-that collect and analyze network data to reveal the actual customer experience and identify opportunities for new revenue streams. These solutions provide enhanced network management, control, optimization and differentiation for our customers. Using these solutions, our customers are able to access and analyze the growing amount of network data from a single console, simplifying the process of deploying, provisioning and managing network equipment and services. These capabilities allow network operators to initiate service to new customers faster, decrease the need for technicians to make on-site service calls, help to make necessary repairs faster and, as a result, lower costs while providing higher quality and more reliable services.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we re-grouped our SE products and associated services from five product groupings to three as described below:
Enterprise:
Consisting of our Enterprise products (no change from our former Enterprise group).
Wireless:
Consisting of our Location Intelligence and RAN Solutions products.
Assurance:
Primarily
consisting of our (a) Legacy Assurance, Protocol Test and xSIGHT products (formerly components of Mobile, Assurance and Analytics); (b) Legacy Wireline products (formerly a component of Packet Portal); (c) Packet Portal products (formerly Packet Portal, excluding Legacy Wireline products); and (d) Video Assurance products (formerly included in our NE segment).
For the purposes of providing year-over-year variance analysis in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have reflected these changes for all prior periods presented so that they are comparable with our current groupings.
Optical Security and Performance Products
Our OSP segment leverages its core optical coating technologies and volume manufacturing capability to design, manufacture, and sell products targeting anti-counterfeiting, consumer and industrial, government, healthcare and other markets.
Our security offerings for the currency market include
OVP®
,
OVMP®
and banknote thread substrates.
OVP®
enables a color-shifting effect used by banknote issuers and security printers worldwide for anti-counterfeiting applications on banknotes and other high-value documents. Our technologies are deployed on the banknotes of more than 100 countries today. OSP also develops and delivers overt and covert anti-counterfeiting products that utilize its proprietary printing platform and are targeted primarily at the pharmaceutical and consumer-electronics markets.
Leveraging our expertise in spectral management and our unique high-precision coating capabilities, OSP provides a range of products and technologies for the consumer and industrial market, including, for example, 3D sensing optical filters.

OSP also produces precise, high-performance, optical thin-film coatings for a variety of applications in consumer electronics, government, healthcare and other markets. For example, optical filters are used in 3-D sensing products and other applications.
In addition, we offer custom color solutions that include innovative optically-based color-shifting and other features that provide product enhancement for brands in the automotive and other industries.
Customers
OSP serves customers such as FLIR Systems, Kingston Digital, Lockheed Martin and SICPA. Following the separation from Lumentum, one OSP customer generated more than 10% of Viavi net revenue from continuing operations. During fiscal 2016,
8
2015 and 2014, net revenue from SICPA represented 21.0%, 16.4% and 12.8%, respectively, of Viavi net revenue from continuing operations.
Trends
Counterfeiting of banknotes and other goods is on the rise because counterfeiters now have access to a broad range of advanced but relatively low-cost imaging technologies and printing tools, giving them the ability to create convincing simulations of actual documents and products for illicit purposes. At the same time, the penalties for counterfeiting can often be relatively modest when compared to the penalties for other crimes. As a result of these trends, demand is increasing for sophisticated overt anti-counterfeiting features, such as Viavi’s OVP® and OVMP® technologies, which are easy for consumers to validate without the use of special tools but are difficult to create or simulate using conventional printing technology.
The aerospace, defense, consumer electronics and medical/environmental instrumentation markets require customized, high-precision coated products and optical components that selectively absorb, transmit or reflect light to meet the performance requirements of sophisticated systems.

We also develop and manufacture miniature spectrometers that leverage our linear variable optical filters for use in applications for agriculture, pharmaceuticals, government and other markets.
Acquisitions
As part of our strategy, we are committed to the ongoing evaluation of strategic opportunities and, where appropriate, the acquisition of additional products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to, or strengthen, our existing products. We believe we have strengthened our business model by fortifying our core businesses through acquisition as well as through organic
9
initiatives and will continue to seek strategic opportunities that support the ongoing development of an end-to-end platform to serve our NE and SE customers.
In January 2014, we completed the acquisition of Network Instruments, a privately-held U.S. company and leading developer of enterprise network and application-performance management solutions for global 2000 companies. The acquisition further strengthened our position as a key solutions provider to the enterprise, data center and cloud networking markets. Network Instruments helps enterprises simplify the management and optimization of their networks with high-performance solutions that provide actionable intelligence and deep network visibility. We acquired all outstanding shares of Network Instruments for a total purchase price of approximately $208.5 million in cash. This acquisition was integrated into our
SE
segment.
In December 2013, we acquired certain technology and other assets from Trendium, a privately-held provider of real-time intelligence software solutions for customer experience assurance (“CEA”), asset optimization and monetization of big data for 4G/LTE mobile network operators. The addition of Trendium employees and technology enabled the Company to introduce a new paradigm of CEA in our Assurance solutions, enabling operators of 4G/LTE networks to achieve a real and relevant improvement in customer satisfaction while maximizing productivity and profitability for dynamic converged 4G/LTE networks and beyond. We acquired certain technology and other assets from Trendium for a total purchase price of approximately $26.1 million in cash. This acquisition was integrated into
SE
segment.

Note 6. Mergers and Acquisitions
” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the acquisitions completed during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
.
Restructuring Programs
We continue to engage in targeted restructuring events intended to consolidate our operations, and align our businesses in response to market conditions and our current investment strategy. Subsequent to the Separation of the Lumentum business, we focused on streamlining our teams to gain greater cost efficiencies as we transition from a portfolio company to a more agile company focused on our NSE and OSP businesses.
In fiscal
2016
,
we initiated restructuring plans in our NE and SE segments as well as our shared service function as part of this ongoing commitment. We also continued to restructure and reorganize our segments to eliminate certain positions by consolidating and shifting resources in our sales, manufacturing and R&D functions to focus on our strategic growth areas and optimize our operational efficiency.
Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under Item 7 and “
Note 12. Restructuring and Related Charges
” under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion on these charges.
Research and Development
During fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, we incurred R&D expenses of
$166.4 million
,
$173.3 million
, and
161.8 million
, respectively. The number of employees engaged in R&D was approximately
800
as of
July 2, 2016
.
We devote substantial resources to R&D to develop new and enhanced products to serve our markets. Once the design of a product is complete, our engineering efforts shift to enhancing both product performance and our ability to manufacture it in greater volume and at lower cost.
In our NE and SE segments, we develop portable test instruments for field service technicians, systems and software used in Network Operations Centers, and instruments used in the development, testing and production of communications network components, modules and equipment. We are increasing our focus on IP-based service assurance and customer experience management, and test instruments for wireless networks and services, while continuing to develop tools for fiber optic, optical transport, Ethernet, broadband access, video test and storage network testing. We have centers of excellence for product marketing and development in Asia, Europe and North America.
In our OSP segment, our R&D efforts concentrate on developing more innovative technologies and products for customers in the anti-counterfeiting, consumer electronics government, healthcare and automotive markets. Our strength in the banknote anti-counterfeiting market is complemented by our advances in developing novel pigments and foils for a variety of applications. Other areas of R&D focus for OSP include our efforts to leverage our optical coating technology expertise to develop applications for the government and defense markets as well as efforts related to new products for 3-D sensing and smart phone sensors. OSP has also introduced an innovative handheld spectrometer solution with applications in the agriculture, healthcare and defense markets.

Manufacturing
As of
July 2, 2016
significant manufacturing facilities for our NE, SE and OSP segments were located in China, France, Germany, Korea and the United States and our significant contract manufacturing partners were located in China and Mexico.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
Viavi uses various suppliers and contract manufacturers to supply parts and components for the manufacture and support of multiple product lines. Although our intention is to establish at least two sources of supply for materials whenever possible, for certain components we have sole or limited source supply arrangements. We may not be able to procure these components from alternative sources at acceptable prices within a reasonable time, or at all; therefore, the loss or interruption of such arrangements could impact our ability to deliver certain products on a timely basis.
Patents and Proprietary Rights
Intellectual property rights apply to our various products include patents, trade secrets and trademarks. We do not intend to broadly license our intellectual property rights unless we can obtain adequate consideration or enter into acceptable patent cross-license agreements. As of
July 2, 2016
, we owned approximately 700 U.S. patents and 925 foreign patents and have 500 patent applications pending throughout the world.
Backlog
Backlog consists of purchase orders for services and products for which we have assigned shipment dates. As of
July 2, 2016
and June 27, 2015, our backlog was approximately $234 million for both periods, excluding the backlog related to Lumentum as of June 27, 2015.
Due to possible changes in product delivery schedules and cancellation of product orders, and because our sales often reflect orders shipped in the same quarter in which they are received, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual revenue or the level of orders for any succeeding period.
Employees
We employed approximately
3,000
employees as of
July 2, 2016
, which included approximately 900 employees in manufacturing,
800
employees in R&D, 850 employees in sales and marketing, and 450 employees in general and administration. This compared to a workforce of approximately
4,900
and
5,100
as of
June 27, 2015
and
June 28, 2014
, respectively, which also included employees who transferred to Lumentum as part of the Separation. On August 1, 2015, approximately
1,700
employees were transferred to Lumentum as part of the separation of the Lumentum business which included approximately
850
employees from manufacturing,
550
employees from R&D,
150
employees from sales and marketing and 150 employees general and administration.
Similar to other technology companies, we rely upon our ability to use “Full Value Awards” (as defined below) and other forms of stock-based compensation as key components of our executive and employee compensation structure. Full Value Awards refer to Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs that are granted with the exercise price equal to zero and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. The performance-based RSUs are also referred to as Market Stock Units and have vesting requirements tied to the performance of the Company’s stock as compared to the NASDAQ telecommunications index, and could vest at a higher or lower rate or not at all, based on this relative performance. Historically, these components have been critical to our ability to retain important personnel and offer competitive compensation packages. Without these components, we would be required to significantly increase cash compensation levels or develop alternative compensation structures to retain our key employees.
Outside of the United States, our businesses are subject to labor laws that differ from those in the United States. The Company follows statutory requirements, and in certain European countries it is common for a works council, consisting of elected employees, to represent the sites when discussing matters such as compensation, benefits or terminations of employment. We consider our employee relations to be good.
11
We have a history of net losses, and our future profitability is not assured.
We incurred net losses of
$99.2 million
,
$88.1 million
and
$17.8 million
in fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively. Historically, Viavi operated as a portfolio company comprised of many product lines, with diverse operating metrics and markets. As a result, our profitability in a particular period was impacted by both revenue and product mix due to the fact that gross margin varies significantly across our product portfolio and business segments. While we recently completed the separation of our Lumentum business, this variability continues to be a factor across our remaining business segments.
Additionally, for the last several years, we have undergone multiple manufacturing, facility, organizational and product line transitions. We expect some of these activities to continue for the foreseeable future. These activities are costly and can impair our profitability objectives. Specific factors that may undermine our financial objectives include, among others:
|
•
|
uncertain future telecom carrier and cable operator capital and R&D spending levels, which particularly affects our NE and SE segments;
|
|
•
|
adverse changes to our product mix, both fundamentally (resulting from new product transitions, the declining profitability of certain legacy products and the termination of certain products with declining margins, among other things) and due to quarterly demand fluctuations;
|
|
•
|
pricing pressure across our product lines due to competitive forces, increasingly from Asia, and to a highly concentrated customer base for many of our product lines, which continues to offset many of the cost improvements we are realizing quarter over quarter;
|
|
•
|
limited availability of components and resources for our products which leads to higher component prices;
|
|
•
|
increasing commoditization of previously differentiated products, and the attendant negative effect on average selling prices and profit margins;
|
|
•
|
execution challenges, which limit revenue opportunities and harm profitability, market opportunities and customer relations;
|
|
•
|
decreased revenue associated with terminated or divested product lines;
|
|
•
|
redundant costs related to periodic transitioning of manufacturing and other functions to lower-cost locations;
|
|
•
|
ongoing costs associated with organizational transitions, consolidations and restructurings, which are expected to continue in the nearer term;
|
|
•
|
continuing high levels of selling, general and administrative, (“SG&A”) expenses; and
|
|
•
|
cyclical demand for our currency products.
|
Taken together, these factors limit our ability to predict future profitability levels and to achieve our long-term profitability objectives. If we fail to achieve profitability expectations, the price of our debt and equity securities, as well as our business and financial condition, may be materially adversely impacted.
The separation of the Lumentum business could result in substantial tax liability to us and our stockholders.
One of the conditions for completing the separation was our receipt of a tax opinion from our advisors substantially to the effect that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the separation will qualify as a tax-free distribution under certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. If any of the factual representations and assumptions made in connection with obtaining the tax opinion were inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect, then we will not be able to rely on the tax opinion. Furthermore, the tax opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the courts. Accordingly, the IRS or the courts may challenge the conclusions stated in the tax opinion and such challenge could prevail.
If, notwithstanding our receipt of the tax opinion, the separation is determined to be taxable, then (i) we would be subject to tax as if we sold the stock distributed in the separation in a taxable sale for its fair market value; and (ii) each stockholder who received stock distributed in the separation would be treated as receiving a distribution of property in an amount equal to the fair market value of the stock that would generally result in tax liabilities for each stockholder, which may be substantial.
12
Management turnover creates uncertainties and could harm our business.
We hired a new President and Chief Executive Officer in February 2016 and a new Chief Financial Officer in September 2015. In addition, during fiscal year 2016 we made leadership changes in several other key functions throughout the Company, including HR, IT and others. The extent of our management changes could adversely impact our results of operations and our customer relationships and may make recruiting for future management positions more difficult. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified executives and employees, or to successfully integrate any newly-hired personnel within our organization, we may be unable to achieve our operating objectives, which could negatively impact our financial performance and results of operations.
Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions.
Economic conditions worldwide have from time to time contributed to slowdowns in the technology industry at large, as well as to the specific segments and markets in which we operate. The global economic downturn that began in 2008 led to increased uncertainty in the timing and overall demand from our customers which has continued despite the economic recovery that has occurred in some sectors. Continuing concerns about global economic conditions could decrease or delay customer spending, increase price competition for our products, increase our risk of excess and obsolete inventories and higher overhead costs as a percentage of revenue. Continued economic challenges could further negatively impact our operations by affecting the solvency of our customers, the solvency of our key suppliers or the ability of our customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products. In particular, we have seen recent demand for our products affected by economic uncertainty in Europe and Latin America. If the global economy and credit markets deteriorate and our future sales decline, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be materially adversely impacted.
In addition, we have significant long-lived assets recorded on our balance sheet. We evaluate intangible assets and goodwill for impairment at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We monitor factors or indicators, such as unfavorable variances from forecasted cash flows, established business plans or volatility inherent to external markets and industries that would require an impairment test. The test for impairment of intangible assets requires a comparison of the carrying value of the asset or asset group with their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying value of the asset or asset group is considered impaired, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. The test for impairment of goodwill requires a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit for which goodwill is assigned with the fair value of the reporting unit calculated based on discounted future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value a second step is performed to calculate any impairment. When testing goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we concluded that the carrying value of the SE reporting unit was higher than its fair value. Accordingly step two of the impairment analysis was performed which indicated that all of the entire SE goodwill balance was impaired resulting in an impairment charge of $91.4 million. This charge does not impact our liquidity, cash flows from operations, future operations, or compliance with debt covenants. Although the analysis indicated only the SE reporting unit was impaired, we will continue to monitor the remaining reporting units which had an excess fair value over carrying value as of the date of annual impairment assessment. As of July 2, 2016 our NE and OSP reporting goodwill balances were
$143.8 million
and
$8.3 million
, respectively.
We will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our goodwill and long-lived assets on an ongoing basis, and we may incur substantial impairment charges, which would adversely affect our financial results. There can be no assurance that the outcome of such reviews in the future will not result in substantial impairment charges. Impairment assessment inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Future events and changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to prices, costs, holding periods or other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of future cash flows. Although we believe the assumptions we used in testing for impairment are reasonable, significant changes in any one of our assumptions could produce a significantly different result. If, in any period, our stock price decreases to the point where the fair value of the Company, as determined by our market capitalization, is less than our book value, this too could indicate a potential impairment and we may be required to record an impairment charge in that period.
The manufacture, quality and distribution of our products, as well as our customer relations, may be affected by several factors, including the rapidly changing market for our products, supply issues and internal restructuring efforts. We expect the impact of these issues will become more pronounced as we continue to introduce new product offerings and when overall demand increases.
Our success depends upon our ability to deliver both our current product offerings and new products and technologies on time and at acceptable cost to our customers. The markets for our products are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product introductions, substantial capital investment, changes in customer requirements and a constantly evolving industry. Our future performance will depend on the successful development, introduction and market acceptance of new and enhanced
13
products that address these issues and provide solutions that meet our customers’ current and future needs. As a technology company, we also constantly encounter quality, volume and cost concerns such as:
|
•
|
Our continuing cost reduction programs, which include site and organization consolidations, asset divestitures, outsourcing the manufacture of certain products to contract manufacturers, other outsourcing initiatives, and reductions in employee headcount, require the re-establishment and re-qualification by our customers of complex manufacturing lines, as well as modifications to systems, planning and operational infrastructure. During this process, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, additional costs, delays in re-establishing volume production levels, planning difficulties, inventory issues, factory absorption concerns and systems integration problems.
|
|
•
|
We have experienced variability of manufacturing yields caused by difficulties in the manufacturing process, the effects from a shift in product mix, changes in product specifications and the introduction of new product lines. These difficulties can reduce yields or disrupt production and thereby increase our manufacturing costs and adversely affect our margin.
|
|
•
|
We may incur significant costs to correct defective products (despite rigorous testing for quality both by our customers and by us), which could include lost future sales of the affected product and other products, and potentially severe customer relations problems, litigation and damage to our reputation.
|
|
•
|
We are dependent on a limited number of vendors, who are often small and specialized, for raw materials, packages and standard components. We also rely on contract manufacturers around the world to manufacture certain of our products. Our business and results of operations have been, and could continue to be adversely affected by this dependency. Specific concerns we periodically encounter with our suppliers include stoppages or delays of supply, insufficient vendor resources to supply our requirements, substitution of more expensive or less reliable products, receipt of defective parts or contaminated materials, increases in the price of supplies, and an inability to obtain reduced pricing from our suppliers in response to competitive pressures. Additionally, the ability of our contract manufacturers to fulfill their obligations may be affected by economic, political or other forces that are beyond our control. Any such failure could have a material impact on our ability to meet customers’ expectations and may materially impact our operating results.
|
|
•
|
New product programs and introductions involve changing product specifications and customer requirements, unanticipated engineering complexities, difficulties in reallocating resources and overcoming resource limitations and with their increased complexity, which expose us to yield and product risk internally and with our suppliers.
|
These factors have caused considerable strain on our execution capabilities and customer relations. We have and could continue to see (a) periodic difficulty responding to customer delivery expectations for some of our products, (b) yield and quality problems, particularly with some of our new products and higher volume products, and (c) additional funds and other resources required to respond to these execution challenges. From time to time, we have had to divert resources from new product R&D and other functions to assist with resolving these matters. If we do not improve our performance in all of these areas, our operating results will be harmed, the commercial viability of new products may be challenged and our customers may choose to reduce or terminate their purchases of our products and purchase additional products from our competitors.
We rely on a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our sales.
We believe that we will continue to rely upon a limited number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. Any failure by us to continue capturing a significant share of these customers could materially harm our business. Dependence on a limited number of customers exposes us to the risk that order reductions from any one customer can have a material adverse effect on periodic revenue. Further, to the extent that there is consolidation among communications equipment manufacturers and service providers, we will have increased dependence on fewer customers who may be able to exert increased pressure on our prices and other contract terms. Customer consolidation activity and periodic manufacturing and inventory initiatives could also create the potential for disruptions in demand for our products as a consequence of such customers streamlining, reducing or delaying purchasing decisions.
We have a strategic alliance with SICPA, our principal customer for our light interference microflakes that are used to, among other things, provide security features in currency. Under a license and supply agreement, we rely exclusively on SICPA to market and sell one of these product lines, optically variable pigment, for document authentication applications worldwide. The agreement requires SICPA to purchase minimum quantities of these pigments over the term of the agreement. If SICPA fails to purchase these quantities, as and when required by the agreement, our business and operating results (including, among other things, our revenue and gross margin) will be harmed as we may be unable to find a substitute marketing and sales partner or develop these capabilities ourselves.
14
Movement towards virtualized networks and software solutions may result in lower demand for our hardware products and increased competition.
The markets for our NE and SE segments are increasingly looking towards virtualized networks and software solutions. While we are devoting substantial resources to meet these needs, this trend may result in lower demand for our legacy hardware products. Additionally barriers to entry are generally lower for software solutions, which may lead to increased competition for our products and services.
We face a number of risks related to our strategic transactions.
Our strategy continues to include periodic acquisitions and divestitures of businesses and technologies. Strategic transactions of this nature involve numerous risks, including the following:
|
•
|
difficulties and costs in integrating or disintegrating the operations, technologies, products, IT and other systems, facilities, and personnel of the affected businesses, particularly the separation of the Lumentum business;
|
|
•
|
inadequate internal control procedures and disclosure controls to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or poor integration of a target company’s or business’s procedures and controls;
|
|
•
|
diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business;
|
|
•
|
potential difficulties in completing projects associated with in-process R&D;
|
|
•
|
difficulties in entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience and where competitors have stronger market positions;
|
|
•
|
difficulties in obtaining or providing sufficient transition services and accurately projecting the time and cost associated with providing these services;
|
|
•
|
an acquisition may not further our business strategy as we expected or we may overpay for, or otherwise not realize the expected return on, our investments;
|
|
•
|
insufficient net revenue to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions;
|
|
•
|
potential loss of key employees of the acquired companies; and
|
|
•
|
difficulty in forecasting revenues and margins.
|
Acquisitions may also cause us to:
|
•
|
issue common stock that would dilute our current stockholders’ percentage ownership and may decrease earnings per share;
|
|
•
|
assume liabilities, some of which may be unknown at the time of the acquisitions;
|
|
•
|
record goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that will be subject to impairment testing and potential periodic impairment charges;
|
|
•
|
incur additional debt to finance such acquisitions;
|
|
•
|
incur amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets; or
|
|
•
|
acquire, assume, or become subject to litigation related to the acquired businesses or assets.
|
Certain of our products are subject to governmental and industry regulations, certifications and approvals.
The commercialization of certain of the products we design, manufacture and distribute through our OSP segment may be more costly due to required government approval and industry acceptance processes. Development of applications for our light interference and diffractive microflakes may require significant testing that could delay our sales. For example, certain uses in cosmetics may be regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has extensive and lengthy approval processes. Durability testing by the automobile industry of our decorative microflakes used with automotive paints can take up to three years. If we change a product for any reason, including technological changes or changes in the manufacturing process, prior approvals or certifications may be invalid and we may need to go through the approval process again. If we are unable to obtain these or other government or industry certifications in a timely manner, or at all, our operating results could be adversely affected.
15
We face risks related to our international operations and revenue.
Our customers are located throughout the world. In addition, we have significant operations outside North America, including product development, manufacturing, sales and customer support operations.
Our international presence exposes us to certain risks, including the following:
|
•
|
currency fluctuations;
|
|
•
|
our ability to comply with a wide variety of laws and regulations of the countries in which we do business, including, among other things, customs, import/export, anti-bribery, anti-competition, tax and data privacy laws, which may be subject to sudden and unexpected changes;
|
|
•
|
difficulties in establishing and enforcing our intellectual property rights;
|
|
•
|
tariffs and other trade barriers;
|
|
•
|
political, legal and economic instability in foreign markets, particularly in those markets in which we maintain manufacturing and product development facilities;
|
|
•
|
difficulties in staffing and management;
|
|
•
|
language and cultural barriers;
|
|
•
|
seasonal reductions in business activities in the countries where our international customers are located;
|
|
•
|
integration of foreign operations;
|
|
•
|
longer payment cycles;
|
|
•
|
difficulties in management of foreign distributors; and
|
|
•
|
potential adverse tax consequences.
|
Net revenue from customers outside the Americas accounted for
48.9%
,
44.3%
and
45.3%
of our total net revenue, for fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
respectively. We expect that net revenue from customers outside North America will continue to account for a significant portion of our total net revenue. Lower sales levels that typically occur during the summer months in Europe and some other overseas markets may materially and adversely affect our business. In addition, the revenues we derive from many of our customers depend on international sales and further expose us to the risks associated with such international sales.
Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure of our information technology infrastructure.
We rely upon the capacity, reliability and security of our information technology infrastructure and our ability to expand and continually update this infrastructure in response to our changing needs. In some cases, we rely upon third party hosting and support services to meet these needs. Any failure to manage, expand and update our information technology infrastructure, any failure in the extension or operation of this infrastructure, or any failure by our hosting and support partners in the performance of their services could materially and adversely harm our business.
Despite our implementation of security measures, our systems are vulnerable to damages from computer viruses, natural disasters, unauthorized access and other similar disruptions. Any system failure, accident or security breach could result in disruptions to our operations. To the extent that any disruptions or security breach results in a loss or damage to our data, or in inappropriate disclosure of confidential information, it could cause significant damage to our reputation and affect our relationships with our customers and ultimately harm our business. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future.
Failure to maintain effective internal controls may adversely affect our stock price.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. The SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report by management on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Although we review our internal control over financial reporting in order to ensure compliance with these requirements, in August 2016 we determined that we had a material weakness related to an error in the determination of interim income taxes issue which caused our independent registered public accounting firm to issue a qualified report on our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The
16
Company will implement an enhanced process and design a control to ensure a more precise review of the interim income tax provision beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
In accordance with the Company’s internal control over financial reporting compliance program, the material weakness designation cannot be remediated in full until the enhanced processes have been operational for a period of time and successfully tested. Such remediation is anticipated to be completed later in fiscal 2017. Additionally, if we or our independent registered public accounting firm is not satisfied with our internal control over financial reporting or the level at which these controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed in the future, or if our independent registered public accounting firm interprets the requirements, rules and/or regulations differently from our interpretation, then they may issue a qualified report. Furthermore, we may discover that the internal controls of businesses we acquire are inadequate or changes to our existing businesses may impact the effectiveness of our internal controls. These situations could require us to make changes to our internal controls and could cause our independent registered public accounting firm to issue a qualified report, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, and could negatively impact our stock price.
In August 2013, we issued $650.0 million of 0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033, which could dilute our existing stockholders and lower our reported earnings per share.
We issued $650.0 million of indebtedness in August 2013 in the form of
0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”)
. The issuance of the 2033 Notes substantially increased our principal payment obligations. Additionally, in fiscal 2016 we contributed $137.6 million in cash to Lumentum in connection with the separation of the Lumentum business, subject to the requirements as set forth in the Contribution Agreement between the Company and Lumentum Operations LLC. All of the obligations related to the 2033 Notes are being retained by the Company. Following the separation we had substantially lower cash flow which increased our leverage. The degree to which we are leveraged could materially and adversely affect our ability to successfully obtain financing for working capital, acquisitions or other purposes and could make us more vulnerable to industry downturns and competitive pressures. In addition, the holders of the 2033 Notes are entitled to convert the 2033 Notes into shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock under certain circumstances which would dilute our existing stockholders and lower our reported per share earnings.
If we have insufficient proprietary rights or if we fail to protect those we have, our business would be materially harmed.
Our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our products or product roadmaps.
We seek to protect our products and our product roadmaps in part by developing and/or securing proprietary rights relating to those products, including patents, trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological innovation. The steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property may not adequately prevent misappropriation or ensure that others will not develop competitive technologies or products. Other companies may be investigating or developing other technologies that are similar to our own. It is possible that patents may not be issued from any of our pending applications or those we may file in the future and, if patents are issued, the claims allowed may not be sufficiently broad to deter or prohibit others from making, using or selling products that are similar to ours. We do not own patents in every country in which we sell or distribute our products, and thus others may be able to offer identical products in countries where we do not have intellectual property protection. In addition, the laws of some territories in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold, including Europe, Asia-Pacific or Latin America, may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States.
Any patents issued to us may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Additionally, we are currently a licensee in all of our operating segments for a number of third-party technologies, software and intellectual property rights from academic institutions, our competitors and others, and are required to pay royalties to these licensors for the use thereof. Unless we are able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, patents or other intellectual property held by others could inhibit our development of new products, impede the sale of some of our current products, substantially increase the cost to provide these products to our customers, and could have a significant adverse impact on our operating results. In the past, licenses generally have been available to us where third-party technology was necessary or useful for the development or production of our products. In the future licenses to third-party technology may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
Our products may be subject to claims that they infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
Lawsuits and allegations of patent infringement and violation of other intellectual property rights occur in our industry on a regular basis. We have received in the past, and anticipate that we will receive in the future, notices from third parties claiming that our products infringe their proprietary rights. Over the past several years there has been a marked increase in the number and potential severity of third-party patent infringement claims, primarily from two distinct sources. First, large technology companies, including some of our customers and competitors, are seeking to monetize their patent portfolios and have developed large internal organizations that have approached us with demands to enter into license agreements. Second, patent-holding companies, entities that do not make or sell products (often referred to as “patent trolls”), have claimed that our products infringe upon their proprietary rights. We will continue to respond to these claims in the course of our business operations. In the past, the resolution of these
17
disputes has not had a material adverse impact on our business or financial condition, however this may not be the case in the future. Further, the litigation or settlement of these matters, regardless of the merit of the claims, could result in significant expense to us and divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, whether or not we are successful. If we are unsuccessful, we could be required to expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology or to obtain licenses to the technology that is the subject of the litigation. We may not be successful in such development, or such licenses may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Without such a license, we could be enjoined from future sales of the infringing product or products, which could adversely affect our revenues and operating results.
The use of open source software in our products, as well as those of our suppliers, manufacturers and customers, may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property position.
Certain of the software and/or firmware that we use and distribute (as well as that of our suppliers, manufacturers and customers) may be, be derived from, or contain, “open source” software, which is software that is generally made available to the public by its authors and/or other third parties. Such open source software is often made available under licenses which impose obligations in the event the software or derivative works thereof are distributed or re-distributed. These obligations may require us to make source code for the derivative works available to the public, and/or license such derivative works under a particular type of license, rather than the forms of license customarily used to protect our own software products. While we believe we have complied with our obligations under the various applicable licenses for open source software, in the event that a court rules that these licenses are unenforceable, or in the event the copyright holder of any open source software were to successfully establish in court that we had not complied with the terms of a license for a particular work, we could be required to release the source code of that work to the public and/or stop distribution of that work. Additionally, open source licenses are subject to occasional revision. In the event future iterations of open source software are made available under a revised license, such license revisions may adversely affect our ability to use such future iterations.
We face certain litigation risks that could harm our business.
We are and may become subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in or outside the ordinary course of business. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. Moreover, many of the complaints filed against us do not specify the amount of damages that plaintiffs seek, and we therefore are unable to estimate the possible range of damages that might be incurred should these lawsuits be resolved against us. While we are unable to estimate the potential damages arising from such lawsuits, certain of them assert types of claims that, if resolved against us, could give rise to substantial damages. Thus, an unfavorable outcome or settlement of one or more of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Even if these lawsuits are not resolved against us, the uncertainty and expense associated with unresolved lawsuits could seriously harm our business, financial condition and reputation. Litigation is costly, time-consuming and disruptive to normal business operations. The costs of defending these lawsuits have been significant, will continue to be costly and may not be covered by our insurance policies. The defense of these lawsuits could also result in continued diversion of our management’s time and attention away from business operations, which could harm our business. For additional discussion regarding litigation, see the “Legal Proceedings” portion of this Annual Report.
We may be subject to environmental liabilities which could increase our expenses and harm our operating results.
We are subject to various federal, state and foreign laws and regulations governing the environment, including those governing pollution and protection of human health and the environment and, recently, those restricting the presence of certain substances in electronic products and holding producers of those products financially responsible for the collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of certain products. Such laws and regulations have been passed in several jurisdictions in which we operate, are often complex and are subject to frequent changes. We will need to ensure that we comply with such laws and regulations as they are enacted, as well as all environmental laws and regulations, and as appropriate or required, that our component suppliers also comply with such laws and regulations. If we fail to comply with such laws, we could face sanctions for such noncompliance, and our customers may refuse to purchase our products, which would have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
With respect to compliance with environmental laws and regulations in general, we have incurred and in the future could incur substantial costs for the cleanup of contaminated properties, either those we own or operate or to which we have sent wastes in the past, or to comply with such environmental laws and regulations. Additionally, we could be subject to disruptions to our operations and logistics as a result of such clean-up or compliance obligations. If we were found to be in violation of these laws, we could be subject to governmental fines and liability for damages resulting from such violations. If we have to make significant capital expenditures to comply with environmental laws, or if we are subject to significant expenditures in connection with a violation of these laws, our financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely impacted.
18
We are subject to provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that could subject us to additional costs and liabilities.
We are subject to the SEC rules implementing the requirements of Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which establish disclosure and reporting requirements for companies who use “conflict” minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries in their products. Complying with the disclosure requirements requires substantial diligence efforts to determine the source of any conflict minerals used in our products and may require third-party auditing of our diligence process. These efforts may require internal resources that would otherwise be directed towards operational activities.
Since our supply chain is complex, we may face reputational challenges if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins of the conflict minerals used in our products. Additionally, if we are unable to satisfy those customers who require that all of the components of our products are certified as conflict free, they may choose a competitor’s products which could materially impact our financial condition and operating results.
Certain provisions in our charter and under Delaware laws could hinder a takeover attempt.
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibiting, under some circumstances, publicly-held Delaware corporations from engaging in business combinations with some stockholders for a specified period of time without the approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding voting stock. Such provisions could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and could make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving us, even if such events could be beneficial, in the short-term, to the interests of the stockholders. In addition, such provisions could limit the price that some investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions providing for the limitations of liability and indemnification of our directors and officers, allowing vacancies on our board of directors to be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors, granting our board of directors the authority to establish additional series of preferred stock and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares (commonly known as “blank check preferred”) and providing that our stockholders can take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders, which may only be called by the Chairman of the board, the Chief Executive Officer or the board of directors. These provisions may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or change in our management.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
As of July 2, 2016, we had U.S. federal and state net operating losses, or NOLs, of $5,008.3 million and $886.0 million, respectively, and U.S. federal and state tax credit carryforwards of $100.7 million and $39.6 million, respectively, which may be utilized against future income taxes. Utilization of these NOLs and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation if the ownership change limitations under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions are triggered by changes in the ownership of our capital stock. In general, an ownership change occurs if there is a cumulative change in our ownership by “5-percent shareholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Accordingly, purchases of our capital stock by others could limit our ability to utilize our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards in the future.
Furthermore, we may not be able to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards before they expire. Due to uncertainty regarding the timing and extent of our future profitability, we continue to record a valuation allowance to offset our U.S. and certain of our foreign deferred tax assets because of uncertainty related to our ability to utilize our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards before they expire.
If any of these events occur, we may not derive some or all of the expected benefits from our NOLs and tax credit carryforwards.
None.
We own and lease various properties in the United States and in 23 other countries around the world. We use the properties for executive and administrative offices, data centers, product development offices, customer service offices, and manufacturing facilities. Our corporate headquarters of approximately 54,000 square feet is located in Milpitas, California. As of
July 2, 2016
, our leased and owned properties in total were approximately 1.2 million square feet, of which approximately 18,000 square feet is owned. Larger leased sites include properties located in China, France, Germany, and the United States. We believe our existing properties, including both owned and leased sites, are in good condition and suitable for the conduct of our business.
19
While we believe our existing facilities are adequate to meet our immediate needs, it may become necessary to lease, acquire, or sell additional or alternative space to accommodate future business needs.
We are subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against us, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.
None.

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “VIAV.” Prior to the separation of the Lumentum business, our common stock was traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “JDSU.” As of
July 29, 2016
we had
232,298,097
shares of common stock outstanding. The closing price on
July 29, 2016
was $7.13.
On August 1, 2015, we completed the previously announced distribution of approximately 80.1% of the outstanding shares of Lumentum common stock to Viavi’s stockholders (the “Distribution”). JDSU was renamed Viavi Solutions Inc. and, at the time of the Distribution, retained ownership of approximately 19.9% of Lumentum’s outstanding shares. We agreed not to liquidate the retained shares during the first six months following the Distribution. However, in connection with a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, we have committed to liquidate these shares within three years from the Distribution. The Distribution was made to Viavi’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on
July 27, 2015
(the “Record Date”), who received one share of Lumentum common stock for every five shares of Viavi common stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date and not sold prior to August 4, 2015. Viavi stockholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Lumentum common stock. Our trading commenced “regular-way” trading on August 4, 2015 on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “VIAV.”
The following table summarizes the high and low intraday sales prices for our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market during fiscal
2016
and
2015
. The stock prices in the following table prior to August 4, 2015, the date of “regular-way” trading commenced following the Lumentum separation, have not been adjusted for the distribution.

STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The information contained in the following graph shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference in such filing.
The following graph and table set forth the total cumulative return, assuming reinvestment of dividends, on an investment of $100 in June 2011 and ending June 2016 in: (i) our Common Stock, (ii) the S&P 500 Index, (iii) the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S.) Index, and (iv) the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index. The table below presents our stock performance prior to the separation of the Lumentum business as traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “JDSU.” Historical stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. For the purpose of this graph, the distribution of approximately 80.1% of the outstanding common stock of Lumentum to our stockholders, pursuant to which Lumentum became an independent company, is treated as a non-taxable cash dividend of $21.15 for every five shares of Viavi common stock held, an amount equal to the closing price of Lumentum common stock on August 4, 2015 which was deemed reinvested in Viavi common stock at the closing price on August 4, 2015.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we approved a strategic plan to exit NSE’s legacy low-speed wireline product line, which resulted in a $2.2 million charge for accelerated amortization of related intangibles, of which $1.8 million and $0.4 million are included in Amortization of acquired technologies and Amortization of other intangibles in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively. In addition, we incurred $11.3 million of inventory-related charges included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, primarily related to the write-off of inventory no longer being sold due to the legacy low-speed wireline product line exit.

Our Industries and Developments
Viavi
, formerly JDSU, is a global provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions to communications service providers, enterprises and their ecosystems, supported by a worldwide channel community. Our solutions deliver end-to-end visibility across physical, virtual and hybrid networks, enabling customers to optimize connectivity, quality of experience and profitability. Viavi is also a leader in high performance thin film optical coatings, providing light management solutions to anti-counterfeiting, consumer and industrial, government and healthcare and other markets. On August 1, 2015, we completed the separation of our optical components and lasers business and created two publicly traded companies:
|
•
|
an optical components and commercial lasers company named
Lumentum
, consisting of our
CCOP
segment and the WaveReady product line within our
NE
segment; and
|
|
•
|
a network and service enablement and optical coatings company, renamed
Viavi
, consisting of our
NE
,
SE
and
OSP
segments.
|
In connection with the Separation we distributed approximately 80.1% of the outstanding shares of Lumentum common stock to our stockholders on August 1, 2015. The Company was renamed
Viavi
and, at the time of the distribution, retained ownership of approximately 19.9% of
Lumentum
’s outstanding shares. Activities related to the Lumentum business have been presented as discontinued operations in all periods of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the accompanying disclosures, discussion and analysis herein pertains to the Company’s continuing operations, unless noted otherwise.
As discussed in “
Note 9. Goodwill
” to our consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis between annual tests when events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $91.4 million, the full amount of SE’s goodwill balance, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment was determined as we completed our annual operating plan for fiscal 2017 in the fourth quarter which revealed a longer investment cycle will be needed for certain growth products within the SE segment, coupled with a decline in the segment’s revenue and operating profitability in fiscal 2016. Refer to “
Note 9. Goodwill
” for more information.
To serve our markets, during fiscal
2016
we operated the following business segments:
•
Network Enablement
•
Service Enablement
•
Optical Security and Performance Products
Network Enablement
NE provides an integrated portfolio of testing solutions that access the network to perform build-out and maintenance tasks. These solutions include instruments, software and services to design, build, activate, certify, troubleshoot and optimize networks. They also support more profitable, higher-performing networks and facilitate time-to-revenue.
Our solutions address lab and production environments, field deployment and service assurance for wireless and fixed communications networks, including storage networks. Our test instrument portfolio is one of the largest in the industry, with hundreds of thousands of units in active use by major NEMs, operators and services providers worldwide. Designed to be mobile, these products include instruments and software that access the network to perform installation and maintenance tasks. They help service provider technicians assess the performance of network elements and segments and verify the integrity of the information being transmitted across the network. These instruments are highly intelligent and have user interfaces that are designed to simplify operations and minimize the training required to operate them. Our NE solutions are also used by network-equipment manufacturers (“NEMs”) in the design and production of next-generation network equipment.
Viavi also offers a range of product support and professional services designed to comprehensively address our customers’ requirements. These services include repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for our products. We offer product and technology training as well as consulting services. Our professional services, provided in conjunction with system integration projects, include project management, installation and implementation.
25
NE customers include
CSP
s, NEMs, government organizations and large corporate customers, such as major telecom, mobility and cable operators, chip and infrastructure vendors, storage-device manufacturers, storage-network and switch vendors, and deployed private enterprise customers. Our customers
include Alcatel-Lucent International, América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V., AT&T Inc., British Telecommunications, Plc., CenturyLink, Inc., Cisco Systems, Inc., Comcast Corporation, Lumentum Holdings Inc., Time Warner Inc., and Verizon Communications Inc.
Service Enablement
SE provides embedded systems and enterprise performance management solutions to global
CSP
s and enterprises. These systems and solutions provide visibility into network, service and application data. Our portfolio of SE solutions - which primarily consist of instruments, microprobes and software - address the same lab and production environments, field deployment and service assurance for wireless and fixed communications networks, including storage networks, as our NE portfolio. Our SE solutions allow carriers to remotely monitor performance and quality of network, service and applications performance throughout the entire network. Remote monitoring decreases operating expenses, while early detection helps provide increased uptime, preserves revenue, and allows operators to better monetize their networks.
Viavi’s SE solutions are embedded network systems-including microprobes and software-that collect and analyze network data to reveal the actual customer experience and identify opportunities for new revenue streams. These solutions provide enhanced network management, control, optimization and differentiation for our customers. Using these solutions, our customers are able to access and analyze the growing amount of network data from a single console, simplifying the process of deploying, provisioning and managing network equipment and services. These capabilities allow network operators to initiate service to new customers faster, decrease the need for technicians to make on-site service calls, help to make necessary repairs faster and, as a result, lower costs while providing higher quality and more reliable services.
SE customers include similar CSPs, NEMs, government organizations, large corporate customers, and storage-segment customers that are served by our NE segment.
Optical Security and Performance Products
Our OSP segment leverages its core optical coating technologies and volume manufacturing capability to design, manufacture, and sell products targeting anti-counterfeiting, consumer and industrial, government, healthcare and other markets.
Our security offerings for the currency market include OVP®, OVMP® and banknote thread substrates. OVP® enables a color-shifting effect used by banknote issuers and security printers worldwide for anti-counterfeiting applications on banknotes and other high-value documents. Our technologies are deployed on the banknotes of more than 100 countries today. OSP also develops and delivers overt and covert anti-counterfeiting products that utilize its proprietary printing platform and are targeted primarily at the pharmaceutical and consumer-electronics markets.

Refer to “
Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
” regarding the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, net revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements are, by their nature, uncertain and unpredictable, and depend upon, among other things, many factors outside of our control, such as demand for our products and economic conditions. Accordingly, our estimates and judgments may prove to be incorrect and actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
26
We believe the following critical accounting policies are affected by significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided, risk of loss has transferred and in cases where formal acceptance is required, customer acceptance has been obtained or customer acceptance provisions have lapsed. In situations where a formal acceptance is required but the acceptance only relates to whether the product meets its published specifications, revenue is recognized upon delivery provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.
We reduce revenue for rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue is recognized only if these estimates can be reliably determined. Our estimates are based on historical results taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
In addition to the aforementioned general policies, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for multiple-element arrangements and for each major category of revenue.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
When a sales arrangement contains multiple deliverables, such as sales of products that include services, the multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether there are one or more units of accounting. Where there is more than one unit of accounting, then the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each unit of accounting based on the relative selling price. Under this approach, the selling price of a unit of accounting is determined by using a selling price hierarchy which requires the use of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or management’s best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Revenue is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each unit of accounting are met.
We establish VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating similar and interchangeable competitor goods or services in sales to similarly situated customers. When VSOE or TPE are not available then we use BESP. Generally, we are not able to determine TPE because our product strategy differs from that of others in our markets, and the extent of customization varies among comparable products or services from our peers. We establish BESP using historical selling price trends and considering multiple factors including, but not limited to geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices. When determining BESP, we apply significant judgment in establishing pricing strategies and evaluating market conditions and product lifecycles.
The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by the segment management. Segment management may modify or develop new pricing practices and strategies in the future. As these pricing strategies evolve, we may modify our pricing practices in the future, which may result in changes in BESP. The aforementioned factors may result in a different allocation of revenue to the deliverables in multiple element arrangements from the current fiscal year, which may change the pattern and timing of revenue recognition for these elements but will not change the total revenue recognized for the arrangement.
To the extent a deliverable(s) in a multiple-element arrangement is subject to specific guidance (for example, software that is subject to the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition), we allocate the fair value of the units of accounting using relative selling price and that unit of accounting is accounted for in accordance with the specific guidance. Some of our product offerings include hardware that are integrated with or sold with software that delivers the functionality of the equipment. We believe this equipment is not considered software-related and would therefore be excluded from the scope of the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition.
Hardware
Revenue from hardware sales is typically recognized when the product meet delivery criteria.
Services
Revenue from services and system maintenance is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Revenue from professional service engagements is recognized once its delivery obligation is fulfilled. Revenue related to extended warranty and product maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the delivery period. We also generate service revenue from hardware repairs and calibration which is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.
27
Software
Our software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and Post-Contract Support (“PCS”). Where we have established VSOE of fair value for PCS contracts, it is based on the renewal rate or the bell curve methodology. Revenue from maintenance, unspecified upgrades and technical support is recognized over the period such items are delivered. In multiple-element revenue arrangements that include software, software-related and non-software-related elements are accounted for in accordance with the following policies.
|
•
|
Non-software and software-related products are bifurcated based on a relative selling price
|
|
•
|
Software-related products are separated into units of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
|
|
◦
|
The functionality of the delivered element(s) is not dependent on the undelivered element(s).
|
|
◦
|
There is VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element(s).
|
|
◦
|
Delivery of the delivered element(s) represents the culmination of the earnings process for that element(s).
|
If these criteria are not met, the software revenue is deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met or when the last undelivered element is delivered. If there is VSOE of the undelivered item(s) but no such evidence for the delivered item(s), the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item(s) equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate VSOE of the undelivered elements. Generally VSOE has not been established for PCS, and in those cases we have recognized revenue ratably over the PCS period after all software elements have been delivered and the only undelivered item is PCS.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
We perform credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We record our bad debt expenses as SG&A expense. When we become aware that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations to us, for example, as a result of bankruptcy or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, we record a specific allowance to reflect the level of credit risk in the customer’s outstanding receivable balance. In addition, we record additional allowances based on certain percentages of our aged receivable balances. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. We are not able to predict changes in the financial condition of our customers, and if circumstances related to our customers deteriorate, our estimates of the recoverability of our trade receivables could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if we provide more allowances than we need, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods based on our actual collection experience.
Investments
Our investments in debt securities and marketable equity securities are primarily classified as available-for-sale investments or trading securities and are recorded at fair value. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, net of tax, are reported as a separate component within our Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Unrealized gains or losses on trading securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. Our short-term investments, which are classified as current assets, include certain securities with stated maturities of longer than twelve months as they are highly liquid and available to support current operations.
We periodically review our investments for impairment. If a debt security’s market value is below amortized cost and we either intend to sell the security or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, we record an other-than-temporary impairment charge to investment income (loss) for the entire amount of the impairment; if a debt security’s market value is below amortized cost and we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security, we separate the other-than-temporary impairment into the portion of the loss related to credit factors, or the credit loss portion, and the portion of the loss that is not related to credit factors, or the non-credit loss portion. The credit loss portion is the difference between the amortized cost of the security and our best estimate of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security. The non-credit loss portion is the residual amount of the other-than-temporary impairment. The credit loss portion is recorded as a charge to income (loss), and the non-credit loss portion is recorded as a separate component of Other comprehensive income (loss).
28
Inventory Valuation
We assess the value of our inventory on a quarterly basis and write-down those inventories which are obsolete or in excess of our forecasted usage to their estimated realizable value. Our estimates of realizable value are based upon our analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted sales levels by product, expected product lifecycle, product development plans and future demand requirements. Our product line management personnel play a key role in our excess review process by providing updated sales forecasts, managing product transitions and working with manufacturing to maximize recovery of excess inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable than our forecasts or actual demand from our customers is lower than our estimates, we may be required to record additional inventory write-downs. If actual market conditions are more favorable than anticipated, inventory previously written down may be sold, resulting in lower cost of sales and higher income from operations than expected in that period.
Goodwill Valuation
We test goodwill for possible impairment on an annual basis in our fourth quarter and at any other time if events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, changes in customers, target markets and strategy, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, or the likelihood that a reporting unit or significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed.
The authoritative guidance allows an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If an entity determines that as a result of the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not (i.e. greater than 50% likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test requires us to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill of that reporting unit is potentially impaired and we proceed to step two of the impairment analysis. In step two of the analysis, we measure and record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill over its implied fair value, if any.
Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgments, including: identification of the reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, a qualitative assessment to determine whether there are any impairment indicators, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. We generally estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. Our significant estimates in the income approach include: our weighted average cost of capital, long-term rate of growth and profitability of the reporting unit’s business, and working capital effects. The market approach estimates the fair value of the business based on a comparison of the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded companies in similar lines of business. Significant estimates in the market approach include: identifying similar companies with comparable business factors such as size, growth, profitability, risk and return on investment, and assessing comparable revenue and operating income multiples in estimating the fair value of the reporting unit.
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future that we believe are reasonable based on available information. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that affect the accuracy of our assumptions, estimates and judgments. For example, if the price of our common stock were to significantly decrease combined with other adverse changes in market conditions, thus indicating that the underlying fair value of our reporting units may have decreased, we might be required to reassess the value of our goodwill in the period such circumstances were identified.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $91.4 million, the full amount of SE’s goodwill balance, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment was determined as we completed our annual operating plan for fiscal 2017 in the fourth quarter which revealed a longer investment cycle will be needed for certain growth products within the SE segment, coupled with a decline in the segment’s revenue and operating profitability in fiscal 2016. Refer to “
Note 9. Goodwill
” for more information.
Long-lived Asset Valuation (Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets)
Long-lived assets held and used
We test long-lived assets for recoverability, at the asset group level, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with
29
the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Recoverability is assessed based on the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
Income Taxes
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, we recognize income taxes using an asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred taxes is based on provisions of the enacted tax law and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.
The authoritative guidance provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if the realization of such deferred tax assets is more likely than not to occur based on an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence and the relative weight of the evidence. With the exception of certain international jurisdictions, we have determined that at this time it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets attributable to the remaining jurisdictions will not be realized, primarily due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards before they expire. Accordingly, we have established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets. If there is a change in our ability to realize our deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established, then our tax provision may decrease in the period in which we determine that realization is more likely than not. Likewise, if we determine that it is not more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized, then a valuation allowance may be established for such deferred tax assets and our tax provision may increase in the period in which we make the determination.
The authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, it provides guidance on recognition, classification, and disclosure of tax positions. We are subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities in all of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The determination of tax liabilities in each of these jurisdictions requires the interpretation and application of complex and sometimes uncertain tax laws and regulations. We recognize liabilities based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional tax liabilities are more likely than not. If we ultimately determine that the payment of such a liability is not necessary, then we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which the determination is made that the liability is no longer necessary.
The recognition and measurement of current taxes payable or refundable and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires that we make certain estimates and judgments. Changes to these estimates or a change in judgment may have a material impact on our tax provision in a future period.
Restructuring Accrual
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, generally costs associated with restructuring activities are recognized when they are incurred. However, in the case of leases, the expense is estimated and accrued when the property is vacated. Given the significance of, and the timing of the execution of such activities, this process is complex and involves periodic reassessments of estimates made from the time the property was vacated, including evaluating real estate market conditions for expected vacancy periods and sub-lease income. Additionally, a liability for post-employment benefits for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities is recorded when payment is probable and, the amount is reasonably estimable. We continually evaluate the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under our restructuring initiatives. Although we believe that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of our restructuring plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring us to record additional provisions or reverse a portion of such provisions.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The funded status of our retirement-related benefit plans is recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at fiscal year end, the measurement date. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”); and for the non-pension postretirement benefit plan, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement. The APBO represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits attributed to employee services already rendered. Unfunded or partially funded plans, with the benefit obligation exceeding the fair value of plan assets, are aggregated and recorded as a retirement and non-pension postretirement benefit obligation equal to this excess. The current portion of the retirement-related benefit obligation represents the actuarial
30
present value of benefits payable in the next 12 months in excess of the fair value of plan assets, measured on a plan-by-plan basis. This liability is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Net periodic pension cost (income) is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost and (gains) losses previously recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Service cost represents the actuarial present value of participant benefits attributed to services rendered by employees in the current year. Interest cost represents the time value of money cost associated with the passage of time. (Gains) losses arise as a result of differences between actual experience and assumptions or as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions. Prior service cost (credit) represents the cost of benefit improvements attributable to prior service granted in plan amendments. (Gains) losses and prior service cost (credit) not recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost (income) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as they arise are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balances Sheets, net of tax. Those (gains) losses and prior service cost (credit) are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension period cost (income) pursuant to the recognition and amortization provisions of the authoritative guidance.
The measurement of the benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost (income) is based on our estimates and actuarial valuations, provided by third-party actuaries, which are approved by our management. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age and years of service, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases, and mortality rates. We evaluate these assumptions annually at a minimum. In estimating the expected return on plan assets, we consider historical returns on plan assets, adjusted for forward-looking considerations, inflation assumptions and the impact of the active management of the plan’s invested assets.
Loss Contingencies
We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

Foreign Currency Impact on Results of Operations
While the majority of our net revenue and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollar, a portion of our international operations are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign exchange rates may significantly affect revenue and expenses. While we use foreign currency hedging contracts to mitigate some foreign currency exchange risk, these activities are limited in the protection that they provide us and can themselves result in losses. We have presented below “constant dollar” comparisons of our net sales and operating expenses which exclude the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Constant dollar net revenue and operating expenses are non-GAAP financial measures, which is information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered in conjunction with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, may facilitate a better understanding of changes in net revenue and operating expenses.
Fiscal
2016
and
2015
If currency exchange rates had been constant in fiscal
2016
and fiscal
2015
, our consolidated net revenue in “constant dollars” would have increased by approximately
$22 million
, or
2.5%
of net revenue, which primarily impacted our NE and SE segments. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations on net revenue was not indicative of the impact on net income due to the offsetting foreign currency impact on operating costs and expenses. If currency exchange rates had been constant in fiscal
2016
and fiscal
2015
, our consolidated operating expenses in “constant dollars” would have increased by approximately
$16 million
, or
1.8%
of net revenue.
Fiscal
2015
and
2014
During the second half of fiscal 2015, the significant strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to certain other foreign currencies (namely the Euro, Japanese Yen and Canadian Dollar) had an unfavorable impact on our reported international net revenues but a favorable impact on our reported international operating expenses because these amounts were translated at lower rates in fiscal 2015 than in fiscal 2014. If currency exchange rates had been constant in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, our consolidated net revenue in “constant dollars” would have increased by approximately $15 million, or 1.7% of net revenue, which primarily impacted our NE and SE segments. The impact of foreign currency fluctuations on net revenue was not indicative of the impact on net income due to the offsetting foreign currency impact on operating costs and expenses. If currency exchange rates had been constant in fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, our consolidated operating expenses in “constant dollars” would have increased by approximately $11 million, or 1.3% of net revenue.
The Results of Operations are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and not using constant dollars. Refer to Item 7A. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details on foreign currency instruments and our related risk management strategies.
Net Revenue
Following the Separation, revenue from our service offerings exceeds 10% of our total consolidated net revenue and is presented separately in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Service revenue primarily consists of maintenance and support, extended warranty, professional services and post-contract support in addition to other services such as rentals, loaners and repair services. When evaluating the performance of our segments, Management focuses on total net revenue, gross profit and operating income and not the product or service categories. Consequently, the following discussion of business segment performance focuses on total net revenue, gross profit, and operating income consistent with our approach for managing the business.
Fiscal
2016
and
2015
Net revenue
increase
d by
$32.4 million
, or
3.7%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This
increase
was primarily due to an
increase
in our OSP segment, partially offset by
decrease
s in our SE and NE segments as discussed below.
Product revenues
increase
d by
$37.6 million
, or
4.9%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This
increase
was driven by
$62.4 million
of product revenue increases from our OSP and NE segments, primarily due to higher demand for our Anti-Counterfeiting product line in our OSP segment as discussed below. This was partially offset by a
$24.8 million
product revenue decrease from our SE segment primarily due to a decline in our more mature Assurance solutions.
Service revenues
decrease
d
$5.2 million
, or
5.1%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This
decrease
was driven by a
$9.6 million
decline in service revenue from our NE segment primarily related to the release of new product offerings impacting the timing of renewals for support and maintenance contracts, coupled with lower revenue from repair services. This was partially offset by
$4.4 million
of service revenue increases from our SE and OSP segments driven by maintenance and support contracts for our Enterprise offerings in our SE segment.
34
NE net revenue
remained relatively flat
, decreasing by
$2.2 million
, or
0.4%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This was driven by
$21.7 million
of net revenue
decrease
s from our Wireline and Wireless offerings, partially offset by
$19.5 million
of net revenue increases from our Lab offerings. Wireline and Wireless net revenue decreased in the fiscal 2016 primarily as the prior period reflected Wireline net revenue from a significant ramp for a one-time project from a key customer, coupled with lower services revenue. This was partially offset by strength in our fiber lab and field test instruments driven by “
FTTH
” and “Fiber for Wireless Backhaul” deployments in North America and 100G deployments globally as well as higher demand for our optical transport products.
SE net revenue
decrease
d by
$20.7 million
, or
11.9%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This
decrease
was driven by
$23.5 million
of net revenue
decrease
s from our Assurance and Wireless Solutions offerings primarily due to a change in product mix as our more mature offerings declined at a steeper pace than the growth in our new offerings. This was partially offset by
$2.8 million
of net revenue increases from our Enterprise offerings.
OSP net revenue
increase
d by
$55.3 million
, or
28.7%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This
increase
was driven by net revenue increases primarily from our Anti-Counterfeiting product line driven by cyclical demand for our currency products resulting from an increase in currency reprinting and bank-note redesigns over the normal run-rate in fiscal 2016, coupled with net revenue growth in our Consumer and Industrial and Government product lines.
Fiscal
2015
and
2014
Net revenue
decrease
d by
$53.0 million
, or
5.7%
, during fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
decrease
was primarily due to a
decrease
in our NE and OSP segments, partially offset by an
increase
in our SE segment as discussed below.
Product revenues
decrease
d by
$43.7 million
, or
5.4%
, during fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
decrease
was driven by
$75.3 million
of product revenue decreases from our NE and OSP segments primarily due to a reduction in
CSP
spending impacting demand for our instruments products in our NE segment. This was partially offset by a
$31.6 million
increase in product revenue from our SE segment driven by the acquisition of Network Instruments in the second half of fiscal 2014.
Service revenues
decrease
d
$9.3 million
, or
8.3%
, during fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
decrease
was driven by a
$13.3 million
decrease in service revenue from our SE segment primarily due to a decline in our more mature Assurance solutions. This was partially offset by
$4.0 million
of service revenue increase from our NE and OSP segments driven by NE repair services.
NE net revenue
decrease
d by
$63.3 million
or
11.1%
, during fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
decrease
was driven by
$74.7 million
of net revenue
decrease
s from our Wireline and Lab offerings primarily due to a reduction in
CSP
spending driven by lower demand from key customers. This was partially offset by
$11.4 million
of net revenue increases for our Wireless offerings driven by demand from CSPs.
SE net revenue
increase
d by
$18.3 million
, or
11.7%
, during fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
increase
was driven by
$30.7 million
of net revenue
increase
s from
incremental net revenue from our Enterprise offerings which we acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, coupled with revenue growth from
our Wireless Solutions
. This was partially offset by
$12.4 million
of net revenue decreases primarily driven
by a decline in our more mature Assurance solutions.
OSP net revenue
decrease
d by
$8.0 million
, or
4.0%
, during fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
decrease
was driven by
$35.1 million
of net revenue
decrease
s primarily from the planned exit of legacy products which was completed at the end of fiscal 2015 and lower demand from a key customer for 3-D sensing products in our Consumer and Industrial product line. This was partially offset by
$27.1 million
of net revenue increases primarily from our Anti-Counterfeiting product line driven by cyclical demand for our currency products.
Going forward, we expect to continue to encounter a number of industry and market risks and uncertainties that may limit our visibility, and consequently, our ability to predict future revenue, profitability and general financial performance, and that could create quarter over quarter variability in our financial measures. For example, while the majority of our net revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, a portion of our international operations are denominated in foreign currencies. Recently, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to certain foreign currencies, namely the Euro, Brazilian Real and Canadian Dollar, negatively impacted reported revenue and reduced our reported expenses. Additionally, we have seen recent demand for our NE and SE products affected by macroeconomic uncertainty. We cannot predict when or to what extent these uncertainties will be resolved. Our revenues, profitability, and general financial performance may also be affected by: (a) strong pricing pressures due to, among other things, a highly concentrated customer base, increasing competition, particularly from Asia-based competitors, and a general commoditization trend for certain products; (b) high product mix variability in our NE and SE markets, which affects revenue and gross margin; (c) fluctuations in customer buying patterns, which cause demand, revenue and profitability volatility; and (d) the current trend of communication industry consolidation, which is expected to continue, that directly affects our NE and SE customer bases and adds additional risk and uncertainty to our financial and business projections.
35
In fiscal 2017, we expect to continue to see a decline in net revenue from our more mature Assurance and Wireless Solutions within our SE segment. In our OSP segment, we expect Anti-Counterfeiting net revenue to decline in fiscal year 2017 from 2016 levels, as currency reprinting and banknote redesigns return to normal run rates; however, we expect growth drivers for the Anti-Counterfeiting business to remain intact in the long-term.
Revenue by Region
We operate in three geographic regions: Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”). Net revenue is assigned to the geographic region and country where our product is initially shipped. For example, certain customers may request shipment of our product to a contract manufacturer in one country, which may differ from the location of their end customers. The following table presents net revenue by the three geographic regions we operate in and net revenue from countries that exceeded 10% of our total net revenue

Net revenue is assigned to geographic regions based on customer shipment locations. Net revenue from customers outside the Americas for the fiscal years ended
2016
,
2015
and
2014
represented
48.9%
,
44.3%
and
45.3%
of net revenue, respectively. We expect revenue from customers outside of North America to continue to be an important part of our overall net revenue and an increasing focus for net revenue growth opportunities.
Gross Margin
Gross margin in fiscal
2016
increase
d
1.2
percentage points to
60.7%
from
59.5%
in fiscal
2015
. This
increase
was primarily due to a
$14.6 million
reduction in amortization of developed technology driven by certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2015, coupled with an improvement in gross margin from our OSP segment primarily due to favorable product mix with higher anti-counterfeiting revenue in fiscal 2016. This was partially offset by lower gross margin in our SE segment and a change in overall segment mix as our OSP segment, whose products generally carry a lower gross margin than our NE and SE products, represented a higher percentage of our total net revenue in fiscal 2016.
Gross margin in fiscal
2015
increase
d
2.6
percentage points to
59.5%
from
56.9%
in fiscal
2014
. This increase was primarily due to an improvement in gross margin within our SE and OSP segments driven by the addition of our higher-margin Enterprise product line acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 in our SE segment, coupled with increased revenue from higher margin anti-counterfeiting products and the exit of lower margin legacy products in our OSP segment.
As discussed in more detail under “Net Revenue” above, we sell products in certain markets that are consolidating, undergoing product, architectural and business model transitions, have high customer concentrations, are highly competitive (increasingly due to Asia-Pacific-based competition), are price sensitive and/or are affected by customer seasonal and mix variant buying patterns. We expect these factors to continue to result in variability of our gross margin.
Research and Development
R&D expense
decrease
d by
$6.9 million
, or
4.0%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This
decrease
was primarily due to a $3.6 million in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) impairment charge in the prior year related to a fiscal 2014 acquisition, coupled with
$4.0 million
net cost savings realized from our strategic restructuring activities related to site
36
consolidations, reorganizations, and the insourcing or outsourcing of R&D activities to align our investment strategy following the Separation. This was partially offset by various other incremental expenses incurred, including additional cost as fiscal 2016 was a 53-week fiscal year and contained one additional week compared to fiscal 2015. As a percentage of net revenue R&D
decrease
d by
1.4
percentage points during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
as the Company continues to execute targeted cost savings initiatives.
R&D expense
increase
d by
$11.5 million
, or
7.1%
, during fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
increase
was primarily driven by a
$4.5 million
increase in employee compensation expense primarily due to our ongoing investment in R&D and our strategic acquisitions in the second and third quarters of fiscal
2014
. Also contributing to the increase was a
$3.6 million
IPR&D impairment charge in fiscal 2015 related to a fiscal
2014
acquisition. As a percentage of net revenue, R&D
increase
d
2.3
percentage points in fiscal
2015
as we continued to invest in our portfolio to develop new technologies, products and services that offer our customers increased value and strengthen our position in our core markets, coupled with lower net revenue as discussed above.
We believe that continuing our investments in R&D is critical to attaining our strategic objectives. We plan to continue to invest in R&D and new products that will further differentiate us in the marketplace.
Selling, General and Administrative
SG&A expense
decrease
d by
$25.2 million
, or
6.7%
, in fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This
decrease
was primarily due to a
$30.5 million
reduction in labor, benefits and facilities expenses driven by lower headcount and site consolidations associated with our strategic restructuring activities and ongoing cost reduction efforts coupled with incremental charge from modification of equity awards pursuant to Change of Control Benefits Plan covering spin-off in the prior year that were not there this year. This was partially offset by an
$8.4 million
charge in fiscal 2016 related to a litigation ruling impacting our pension obligation. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A
decrease
d by
4.4
percentage points in fiscal
2016
primarily driven by our strategic cost reduction efforts to optimize our expense structure.
SG&A expense
decrease
d by
$8.5 million
, or
2.2%
, in fiscal
2015
compared to fiscal
2014
. This
decrease
was primarily due to
$17.4 million
of various reductions including lower labor and benefits expense primarily related to our continuing cost reduction efforts and strategic initiatives in preparation for the Separation. This was partially offset by
$11.4 million
of Viavi-specific incremental charges for professional fees and additional personnel costs to complete the Separation. As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A
increase
d by
1.6
percentage points in fiscal
2015
primarily due to costs incurred related to the separation of the Lumentum business coupled with lower net revenue as discussed above.
We intend to continue to focus on reducing our SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenue. However, we have in the recent past experienced, and may continue to experience in the future, certain non-core expenses, such as mergers and acquisitions-related expenses, expenses related to our separation of the business into two public companies and litigation expenses, which could increase our SG&A expenses and potentially impact our profitability expectations in any particular quarter.
Impairment of Goodwill
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 the Company impaired the full balance of SE goodwill of $91.4 million which is presented as “Impairment of goodwill” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment was determined in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 as the Company completed its annual operating plan for fiscal 2017 which revealed a longer investment cycle will be needed for certain growth SE products, coupled with the decline in SE net revenue and operating profitability in fiscal 2016. Refer to “
Note 9. Goodwill
” for more information on goodwill including our valuation approach and assumptions.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles for fiscal
2016
decreased $19.5 million, or 37.9%, to $31.9 million from $51.4 million in fiscal
2015
. This decrease is driven by a $14.6 million reduction in amortization of developed technology primarily due to certain significant intangible assets becoming fully amortized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
Amortization of intangibles for fiscal
2015
increased $1.8 million, or 3.6%, to $51.4 million from $49.6 million in fiscal
2014
. The increase is due incremental amortization of intangible assets from our fiscal 2015 acquisitions, offset by certain significant intangible assets becoming fully amortized.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”)
In accordance with authoritative guidance, we recognize IPR&D at fair value as of the acquisition date, and subsequently account for it as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. We periodically review the stage of completion and likelihood of success of each IPR&D project. The nature of the efforts
37
required to develop IPR&D projects into commercially viable products principally relates to the completion of all planning, designing, prototyping, verification and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the products can be produced to meet their design specifications, including functions, features and technical performance requirements.
During fiscal
2014
, we acquired IPR&D through the acquisitions of Network Instruments and Trendium. The current status of our significant IPR&D projects from acquisitions is as follows:
Network Instruments Acquisition
Network Instruments was acquired in the third quarter of fiscal
2014
and was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance on business combinations. At the time of acquisition, Network Instruments was in the process of developing next generation integrated network software solutions. During the first quarter of fiscal
2015
, we completed our in-process research and development (“IPR&D) project related to the acquisition of Network Instruments. Accordingly, $1.7 million was transferred from indefinite life intangible assets to acquired developed technology intangible assets and began amortizing over its useful life of fifty-two months.
Trendium Acquisition
Trendium was acquired in the second quarter of fiscal
2014
and was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative guidance on business combinations. At the time of acquisition, Trendium was in the process of developing network probe software and next generation service assurance solutions. During fiscal
2015
, we recorded a $3.6 million IPR&D impairment charge related to the fiscal
2014
acquisition of Trendium in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance. The charge was recorded to Research and development (“R&D”) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During fiscal
2016
, we completed our in-process research and development (“IPR&D) project related to the acquisition of Trendium. Accordingly, $1.8 million was transferred from indefinite life intangible assets to acquired developed technology intangible assets and began amortizing over its useful life of thirty-six months.
Restructuring and Related Charges
From time to time, we have initiated strategic restructuring events primarily intended to reduce costs, consolidate our operations, rationalize the manufacturing of our products and align our businesses in response to market conditions. We estimate annualized gross cost savings of approximately $20 million excluding any one-time charge as a result of the restructuring activities initiated in the past year. We have reinvested and plan to reinvest a portion of our cost savings into R&D and new products that we believe will further differentiate us in the marketplace. See “
Note 12. Restructuring and Related Charges
” for more information.
As of
July 2, 2016
, our total restructuring accrual was
$18.0 million
.
During fiscal
2016
, we recorded
$10.5 million
in restructuring and related charges. The charges are a combination of new and previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily the result of the following:
|
i.
|
During May and June of fiscal 2016, Management approved a plan within the NE and SE business segment and Shared Services function for organizational alignment and consolidation in as part of Viavi’s continued commitment for a more cost effective organization. As a result, a restructuring charge of $8.8 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for approximately 190 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D, and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
|
|
ii.
|
During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, Management approved a plan primarily impacting the NE and SE business segments as part of Viavi’s ongoing commitment for an agile and more efficient operating structure. As a result, a restructuring charge of $2.4 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for approximately 50 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D, and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
|
|
iii.
|
A restructuring benefit of $1.0 million primarily related to a reduction in the number of employees impacted by the Central Finance and IT Restructuring Plan.
|
During fiscal 2015, we recorded
$26.8 million
in restructuring and related charges. The charges are a combination of new and previously announced restructuring plans and are primarily the result of the following:
|
i.
|
During the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2015, Management approved a plan to eliminate certain positions in its shared services functions in connection with the Company’s plan to split into two separate public companies. Further,
|
38
Management consolidated its operations, sales and R&D organizations and eliminated positions within the NE and SE segments to align to the Company’s product market strategy and lower manufacturing costs in connection with the Separation. As a result, a restructuring charge of $24.9 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for approximately 330 employees in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia were impacted. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
|
ii.
|
A restructuring charge of $1.9 million for previously announced restructuring plans.
|
During fiscal 2014, we recorded
$21.3 million
in restructuring and related charges which were primarily the result of the following:
|
i.
|
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Company management ("Management") approved a plan in the NE segment to realign its operations and strategy to allow for greater investment in high-growth areas. As a result, a restructuring charge of $4.6 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 123 employees primarily in manufacturing, R&D and SG&A functions located in North America, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual were paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016.
|
|
ii.
|
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan to eliminate positions and re-define roles and responsibilities in our Shared Service function in order to reduce cost, standardize global processes and establish a more efficient organization. As a result, a restructuring charge of $1.8 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 48 employees primarily in general and administrative functions located in the United States, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual were paid by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
|
|
iii.
|
During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan in the NE segment to realign its services, support and product resources in response to market conditions in the mobile assurance market and to increase focus on software products and next generation solutions through acquisitions and R&D. As a result, a year to date restructuring charge of $7.2 million was recorded for severance and employee benefits for 63 employees primarily in SG&A and manufacturing functions located in North America, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
|
|
iv.
|
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan in the NE segment to exit the remaining space in Germantown, Maryland. As of June 28, 2014, the Company exited the workspace in Germantown under the plan. The fair value of the remaining contractual obligations, net of sublease income as of June 28, 2014 was $6.9 million. Payments related to the Germantown lease costs are expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2019.
|
|
v.
|
During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Management approved a plan to eliminate positions and re-define roles and responsibilities in the Finance and IT organization to align with the future state of the organizations under new executive management and move positions to lower-cost locations where appropriate. As a result, a year-to-date restructuring charge of $3.1 million was recorded for severance and benefits for 22 employees primarily in SG&A functions located in North America, Asia and Europe. Payments related to the remaining severance and benefits accrual are expected to be paid by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2022.
|
|
vi.
|
A restructuring benefit of $0.6 million for previously announced restructuring plans.
|
Our restructuring and other lease exit cost obligations are net of sublease income or lease settlement estimates of approximately $1.1 million. Our ability to generate sublease income, as well as our ability to terminate lease obligations and recognize the anticipated related savings, is highly dependent upon the economic conditions, particularly commercial real estate market conditions in certain geographies, at the time we negotiate the lease termination and sublease arrangements with third parties as well as the performances by such third parties of their respective obligations. While the amount we have accrued represents the best estimate of the remaining obligations we expect to incur in connection with these plans, estimates are subject to change. Routine adjustments are required and may be required in the future as conditions and facts change through the implementation period. If adverse macroeconomic conditions continue, particularly as they pertain to the commercial real estate market, or if, for any reason, tenants under subleases fail to perform their obligations, we may be required to reduce estimated future sublease income and adjust the estimated amounts of future settlement agreements, and accordingly, increase estimated costs to exit certain facilities. Amounts related to the lease expense, net of anticipated sublease proceeds, will be paid over the respective lease terms through fiscal 2019.
Gain on Sale of Investments
Gain on sale of investments of
$71.6 million
in fiscal 2016 primarily to the sale of approximately 4.5 million shares of the 11.7 million shares of Lumentum common stock which was retained as part of the Separation. We recognized gross realized gain
39
of
$71.5 million
, which is reflected in "Gain on sale of investments" in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and within the operating activities section of the Statements of Cash Flows, while the cash proceeds received are reflected in “Sales of available-for-sale investments” within the investing activities section. Additionally, the sale gave rise to a
$2.0 million
tax effect related to the intraperiod tax allocation rules. As of
July 2, 2016
, the Company owns approximately
7.2 million
shares of Lumentum’s common stock with an unrealized gain of $109.2 million. Refer to “
Note 8. Investments and Fair Value Measurements
” for more information.
Interest Expense
Interest expense
increase
d by
$2.4 million
, or
7.2%
, during fiscal
2016
compared to fiscal
2015
. This was primarily due to the accretion of unamortized debt discount related to the 2033 Notes.
Interest expense increased by
$3.9 million
, or
13.3%
, during fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014. This was primarily due to an increase of $4.6 million and $0.6 million in accretion of unamortized debt discount and contractual interest expense related to the 2033 Notes, which were issued on August 21, 2013. This was partially offset by a $1.3 million write-off of unamortized issuance cost related to the termination of our $250.0 million revolving credit facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Tax
Fiscal
2016
Tax Expense/Benefit
We recorded an income tax expense of
$4.5 million
for fiscal
2016
. The expected tax benefit derived by applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes for fiscal
2016
differed from the income tax expense recorded primarily as a result of domestic and foreign losses that were not realized due to valuation allowances and a tax expense of $8.9 million related to a one-time increase in valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets transferred to Lumentum in connection with the Separation. The tax expense was partially offset by a deferred tax benefit of $9.5 million related to the write off of tax deductible goodwill and a tax benefit of $20.7 million related to the income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules for discontinued operations and other comprehensive income.
Based on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction review of anticipated future income and due to the continued economic uncertainty in the industry, Management has determined that in many of our jurisdictions, it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized in those jurisdictions. During fiscal
2016
, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased by $160.2 million primarily due to the Lumentum transaction. We are routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits by taxing authorities. We believe that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these examinations
Fiscal 2015 Tax Expense/Benefit
We recorded an income tax expense of $26.1 million for fiscal 2015. The expected tax benefit derived by applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes for fiscal 2015 differed from the income tax expense recorded primarily as a result of domestic and foreign losses that were not realized due to valuation allowances.
Based on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction review of anticipated future income and due to the continued economic uncertainty in the industry, Management has determined that in many of our jurisdictions, it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized in those jurisdictions. During fiscal 2015, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $12.7 million. The increase was primarily related to the increases in the deferred tax assets and intangible amortization. We are routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits by taxing authorities. We believe that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these examinations.
Fiscal 2014 Tax Expense/Benefit
We recorded an income tax benefit of $11.2 million for fiscal 2014. The expected tax benefit derived by applying the federal statutory rate to our loss before income taxes for fiscal 2014 differed from the income tax benefit recorded primarily as a result of domestic and foreign losses that were not realized due to valuation allowances and offset by the recognition of $21.7 million of uncertain tax benefits related to deferred tax assets due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in a non-US jurisdiction. In addition, we recorded a tax benefit of $6.4 million related to the income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.
40
Based on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction review of anticipated future income and due to the continued economic uncertainty in the industry, Management has determined that in many of our jurisdictions, it is more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will not be realized in those jurisdictions. During fiscal 2014, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased by $12.1 million. The decrease was primarily related to an increase in acquisition and debt issuance related deferred tax liabilities. We are routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits by taxing authorities. We believe that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these examinations.
Discontinued Operations
Our discontinued operations activities during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
related to the Separation on August 1, 2015 and activities in fiscal
2016
related to the sale of the hologram business (“Hologram Business”).
Lumentum Separation
As a result of the Separation, the financial results of Lumentum are presented as discontinued operations during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
. Net revenue attributable to the Lumentum discontinued operations was
$66.5 million
,
$835.2 million
and
$816.3 million
during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively. Net (loss) income attributable to the Lumentum discontinued operations was
$(49.0) million
,
$43.3 million
$56.8 million
during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively. Refer to “
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
” for more information.
Hologram Business Disposition
During the fiscal 2016 we recorded
$0.3 million
of net income from discontinued operations related to the Hologram Business related to proceeds received following a favorable arbitration ruling to resolve a dispute regarding the amount we were owed under an earnout clause in connection with the sale in 2013.

This was partially offset by a decline in NE and SE gross margin as discussed above.
NSE operating margin was break-even in both fiscal
2015
and fiscal
2014
. In fiscal 2015, operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased driven by a decline in net revenue, as discussed above, coupled with an increase in headcount associated with our ongoing R&D investments. This was offset by improvements in gross margin primarily due to a more favorable product mix as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash investments are made in accordance with an investment policy approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In general, our investment policy requires that securities purchased be rated A-1/P-1, A/A2 or better. Our policy allows an allocation to securities rated A-2/P-2, BBB/Baa2 or better, so long as such allocation below A-1/P-1, A/A2 but minimum A-2/P-2, BBB/Baa2 does not exceed 10% of any investment portfolio. Securities that are downgraded subsequent to purchase are evaluated and may be sold or held at management’s discretion. No security may have an effective maturity that exceeds 37 months, and the average duration of our holdings may not exceed 18 months. At any time, no more than 5.0% or $5.0 million, whichever is greater, of each of our investment portfolios may be concentrated in a single issuer other than the U.S. or sovereign governments or agencies. Our investments in debt securities and marketable equity securities are primarily classified as available-for-sale investments or trading assets and are recorded at fair value. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments are recorded as other comprehensive (loss) income and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. We did not hold any investments in auction rate securities, mortgage backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, or variable rate demand notes at
July 2, 2016
and virtually all debt securities held were of investment grade (at least BBB-/Baa3). As of
July 2, 2016
, U.S. entities owned approximately 67.4% of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash.
As of
July 2, 2016
, the majority of our cash investments have maturities of 90 days or less and are of high credit quality. Although we intend to hold these investments to maturity, in the event that we are required to sell any of these securities under adverse market conditions, losses could be recognized on such sales. During the
year ended
July 2, 2016
, we have not realized material investment losses but can provide no assurance that the value or the liquidity of our investments will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets. In addition, we maintain cash balances in operating accounts that are with third party
42
financial institutions. These balances in the U.S. may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. While we monitor the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail.
Year Ended
July 2, 2016
As of
July 2, 2016
our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash
increased
by $
140.4 million
to
$979.8 million
from $
839.4 million
as of
June 27, 2015
, including cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $13.8 million transferred to Lumentum. Additionally, the cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities below contains activities related to Lumentum through the separation date.
Cash provided by
operating activities was
$52.9 million
, primarily resulting from
$69.0 million
of net loss adjusted for both non-cash charges (e.g., goodwill impairment, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, amortization of debt issuance cost and discount, and
a gain on sale of investments
) and
changes in deferred tax and other tax
balances which are non-cash in nature, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities that used
$16.1 million
. Our cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by our Separation related activities. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to
a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses
of
$25.2 million
due to timing of salary and bonus payments,
a decrease in accounts payable
of
$2.1 million
due to higher payment activity and
a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities
of
$10.8 million
primarily due to separation related liabilities for both employee severance and third party payments paid after Separation. This was partially offset by cash inflows from
a decrease in accounts receivable
of
$23.4 million
primarily driven by timing of collections of Lumentum related accounts receivable prior to the Separation.
Cash provided by
investing activities was
$244.2 million
, primarily resulting from
$689.0 million
of
proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments and other assets
, which included proceeds of
$109.7 million
from the sale of 4.5 million shares of Lumentum common stock in fiscal 2016, and a
$14.0 million
decrease in restricted cash
, partially offset by
$422.4 million
of purchases of available-for-sale investments and
$35.5 million
of cash used for capital expenditures.
Cash used in
financing activities was
$147.7 million
, primarily resulting from activities related to the Separation during first quarter of fiscal 2016 and
$44.5 million
used in share repurchase programs. In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, the Company made cash contributions of
$137.6 million
Lumentum, which was partially offset by
$35.8 million
from the sale of Lumentum Series A Preferred Stock to Amada Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Amada”) pursuant to a binding commitment under the Securities Purchase Agreement.
Cash used in
financing activities also include payment of financing obligations of $5.9 million primarily related to holdback payment related to a 2013 acquisition, partially offset by
$4.5 million
in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.
Year Ended June 27, 2015
As of June 27, 2015 our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash decreased by $41.9 million to $839.4 million, which includes $13.8 million which was transferred to Lumentum as part of the Separation, from $881.3 million as of June 28, 2014. Additionally, the cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities during fiscal 2015 below contains activities related to Lumentum.
Cash provided by operating activities was $82.3 million, primarily resulting from $155.4 million of net income adjusted for both non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) and changes in our deferred tax and other tax liabilities balances which are non-cash in nature, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $73.1 million. Our cash provided by operating activities was also impacted by our Separation related activities including our restructuring events. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to a decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses of $32.4 million due to timing of salary and bonus payments, an increase in accounts receivable of $12.5 million primarily due to collections timing, a decrease in accounts payable of $10.1 million due to higher payment activity and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $6.8 million.
Cash used in investing activities was $5.8 million, primarily resulting from $562.7 million of purchases of available-for-sale investments and $101.5 million of cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by $652.4 million of proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments and other assets and a $6.0 million decrease in restricted cash.
Cash used in financing activities was $7.3 million, primarily resulting from holdback payments of $22.2 million related to our acquisitions in fiscal 2015 and $4.8 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock, partially offset by $20.8 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan.
43
Year Ended June 28, 2014
As of June 28, 2014 our combined balance of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash increased by $365.4 million, or 70.8%, to $881.3 million from $515.9 million as of June 29, 2013. The increase in the combined balance was primarily driven by $650.0 million of cash received from the issuance of the 2033 Notes and $176.6 million of cash provided by operations, partially offset by (i) $216.0 million of cash used for the acquisitions of Network Instruments, Time-Bandwidth and Trendium, (ii) $155.2 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock and (iii) $99.8 million of cash used for capital expenditures. Additionally, the cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities during fiscal 2014 below contains activities related to Lumentum.
Cash provided by operating activities was $176.6 million, primarily resulting from $175.9 million of net income adjusted for both non-cash charges (e.g., depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation) and changes in our deferred tax balances which are non-cash in nature, partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.7 million. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities related primarily to a $25.9 million increase in accounts payable due to timing and slightly slower payment activity in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2015
as compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a $19.6 million decrease in accrued payroll and related expenses due to the lower commissions and variable incentive pay, and a $9.6 million increase in accounts receivable due to a year-over-year increase in revenue.
Cash used in investing activities was $651.8 million, primarily resulting from (i) $1,072.9 million of purchases of available-for-sale investments, (ii) $216.0 million of cash used for the acquisitions of Network Instruments, Time-Bandwidth and Trendium, (iii) and $99.8 million of cash used for capital expenditures, partially offset by $730.0 million of maturities and sales of available-for-sale investments, and $9.2 million of net proceeds from the sale of assets.
Cash provided by financing activities was $489.6 million, primarily resulting from $650.0 million of cash received from our issuance of the 2033 Notes, $22.5 million of cash received from the exercise of stock options and the issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset $155.2 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock, $14.2 million to pay financing obligations, and $13.5 million of cash used for the payment of issuance costs for the 2033 Notes.

As of
July 2, 2016
, we have accrued on our Consolidated Balance Sheet $5.7 million in connection with restructuring and related activities relating to our operating lease obligations disclosed above, of which $2.2 million was included in Other current liabilities and $3.5 million was included in Other non-current liabilities.
Purchase obligations represent legally-binding commitments to purchase inventory and other commitments made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. Of the
$55.9 million
of purchase obligations as of
July 2, 2016
,
$12.8 million
are related to inventory and the other
$43.1 million
are non-inventory items.
44
As of
July 2, 2016
, our other non-current liabilities primarily relate to asset retirement obligations, pension and financing obligations which are presented in various lines in the preceding table.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as such term is defined in rules promulgated by the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirement
We believe that our existing cash balances and investments will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital spending requirements over the next twelve months. However, there are a number of factors that could positively or negatively impact our liquidity position, including:
|
•
|
global economic conditions which affect demand for our products and services and impact the financial stability of our suppliers and customers;
|
|
•
|
changes in accounts receivable, inventory or other operating assets and liabilities which affect our working capital;
|
|
•
|
increase in capital expenditure to support the revenue growth opportunity of our business;
|
|
•
|
changes in customer payment terms and patterns, which typically results in customers delaying payments or negotiating favorable payment terms to manage their own liquidity positions;
|
|
•
|
timing of payments to our suppliers;
|
|
•
|
factoring or sale of accounts receivable;
|
|
•
|
volatility in fixed income and credit market which impact the liquidity and valuation of our investment portfolios;
|
|
•
|
volatility in foreign exchange market which impacts our financial results;
|
|
•
|
possible investments or acquisitions of complementary businesses, products or technologies;
|
|
•
|
issuance or repurchase of debt or equity securities;
|
|
•
|
potential funding of pension liabilities either voluntarily or as required by law or regulation; and
|
|
•
|
compliance with covenants and other terms and conditions related to our financing arrangements.
|
Acquisitions
As part of our strategy, we are committed to the ongoing evaluation of strategic opportunities and, where appropriate, the acquisition of additional products, technologies or businesses that are complementary to, or strengthen, our existing products. We believe we have strengthened our business model by fortifying our core businesses through acquisition as well as through organic initiatives and will continue to seek strategic opportunities that support the ongoing development of an end-to-end platform to serve our NE and SE customers.
In January 2014, we completed the acquisition of Network Instruments, a privately-held U.S. company and leading developer of enterprise network and application-performance management solutions for global 2000 companies. The acquisition further strengthens our position as a key solutions provider to the enterprise, data center and cloud networking markets. Network Instruments helps enterprises simplify the management and optimization of their networks with high-performance solutions that provide actionable intelligence and deep network visibility. We acquired all outstanding shares of Network Instruments for a total purchase price of approximately $208.5 million in cash, net of working capital adjustments. This acquisition was integrated into our
SE
segment.
In December 2013, we acquired certain technology and other assets from Trendium, a privately-held provider of real-time intelligence software solutions for customer experience assurance (“CEA”), asset optimization and monetization of big data for 4G/LTE mobile network operators. The addition of Trendium employees and technology enables the Company to introduce a new paradigm of CEA in our Assurance solutions, enabling operators of 4G/LTE networks to achieve a real and relevant improvement in customer satisfaction while maximizing productivity and profitability for dynamic converged 4G/LTE networks and beyond. We acquired certain technology and other assets from Trendium for a total purchase price of approximately $26.1 million in cash. This acquisition was integrated into
SE
segment.

Please refer to “
Note 6. Mergers and Acquisitions
” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the acquisitions completed during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
.
Employee Equity Incentive Plan
Our stock option and Full Value Award program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain employees and align stockholder and employee interests. As of
July 2, 2016
, we have available for issuance
19.4 million
shares of common stock for grant primarily under our Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”) and 2005 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The exercise price for the options is equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Options generally become exercisable over a three-year or four-year period and, if not exercised, expire from five to ten years post grant date. Full Value Awards refer to RSUs and performance-based RSUs that are granted with the exercise price equal to zero and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. The performance-based RSUs, or MSUs, have vesting requirements tied to the performance of the Company’s stock as compared to the NASDAQ telecommunications index, and could vest at a higher or lower rate or not at all, based on this relative performance. Full Value Awards are expected to vest over one to four years. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date of the award. Refer to “
Note 15. Stock-Based Compensation
” for more information.
Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefits
As a result of acquiring Acterna, Inc. (“Acterna”) in August 2005 and the Network Solutions Division of Agilent Technologies Inc. (“NSD”) in May 2010, we sponsor significant pension plans for certain past and present employees in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and Germany. We are also responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation assumed from a past acquisition. Most of these plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany assumed in connection with an acquisition during fiscal 2010. The U.K. plan is partially funded and the German plans, which were initially established as “pay-as-you-go” plans, are unfunded. As of
July 2, 2016
, our pension plans were under funded by $107.4 million since the PBO exceeded the fair value of plan assets. Similarly, we had a liability of $1.1 million related to our non-pension post-retirement benefit plan.
We anticipate future annual outlays related to the German plans will approximate estimated future benefit payments. These future benefit payments have been estimated based on the same actuarial assumptions used to measure our projected benefit obligation and currently are forecasted to range between $4.5 million and $5.5 million per annum. In addition, we expect to contribute approximately $0.6 million to the U.K. plan during fiscal
2017
.
During fiscal
2016
we contributed GBP 0.5 million, or approximately $0.7 million, while in fiscal
2015
, we contributed GBP 0.7 million or approximately $1.1 million to our U.K. pension plan. These contributions allowed the Company to comply with regulatory funding requirements.
A key actuarial assumption in calculating the net periodic cost and the PBO is the discount rate. Changes in the discount rate impact the interest cost component of the net periodic benefit cost calculation and PBO due to the fact that the PBO is calculated on a net present value basis. Decreases in the discount rate will generally increase pre-tax cost, recognized expense and the PBO. Increases in the discount rate tend to have the opposite effect. We estimate a 50 basis point (“BPS”) decrease or increase in the discount rate would cause a corresponding increase or decrease, respectively, in the PBO of approximately $8.6 million based upon data as of
July 2, 2016
.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We utilize foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments, including option contracts, to hedge foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments are accounted for as derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts are reflected as other current assets or other current liabilities and the associated gains and losses are reflected in Interest and other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our hedging programs reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rate movements. The gains and losses on those derivatives are expected to be offset by re-measurement gains and losses on the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.
46
The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of
July 2, 2016
. The forward contracts, most with a term of less than 120 days, were transacted near quarter end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts is not significant.

The counterparties to these hedging transactions are creditworthy multinational banks. The risk of counterparty nonperformance associated with these contracts is not considered to be material. Notwithstanding our efforts to mitigate some foreign exchange risks, we do not hedge all of our foreign currency exposures, and there can be no assurances that our mitigating activities related to the exposures that we do hedge will adequately protect us against the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations.
Investments
We maintain an investment portfolio in a variety of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, U.S. government and agency securities, corporate obligations, money market funds, asset-backed securities, and other investment-grade securities. The majority of these investments pay a fixed rate of interest. The securities in the investment portfolio are subject to market price risk due to changes in interest rates, perceived issuer creditworthiness, marketability, and other factors. These investments are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of Other comprehensive (loss) income.
Investments in both fixed-rate and floating-rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The fair market values of our fixed-rate securities decline if interest rates rise, while floating-rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due in part to these factors, our future investment income may be less than expectations because of changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in principal if we sell securities that have experienced a decline in market value because of changes in interest rates. As of
July 2, 2016
, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would not result in a material change in the fair value of our available-for-sale debt instruments held that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, which includes U.S. treasuries, U.S. agencies, municipals, asset-backed securities and corporate securities. A sensitivity analysis was also performed on our investment in Lumentum to assess the potential impact of fluctuations in stock price. Hypothetical declines in stock price of five percent and ten percent were selected based on potential near-term changes in the stock price that could have an adverse effect on our investment. As of
July 2, 2016
the fair value of our investment in Lumentum common stock was
$171.3 million
. As of
July 2, 2016
, a decline in Lumentum’s stock price of five percent and ten percent would have resulted in a
$8.6 million
and
$17.1 million
decline, respectively, in the total fair value of our investment.
We seek to mitigate the credit risk of our portfolio of fixed-income securities by holding only high-quality, investment-grade obligations with effective maturities of 37 months or less. We also seek to mitigate marketability risk by holding only highly liquid securities with active secondary or resale markets. However, the investments may decline in value or marketability due to changes in perceived credit quality or changes in market conditions.
47
The fair value of our 2033 Notes is subject to interest rate and market price risk due to the convertible feature of the notes and other factors. Generally, the fair value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The fair value of the notes may also increase as the market price of Viavi stock rises and decrease as the market price of our stock falls. Changes in interest rates and Viavi stock price affect the fair value of the notes but does not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. Based on quoted market prices, as of
July 2, 2016
, the fair value of the 2033 Notes was approximately
$633.0 million
. Refer to “
Note 11. Debts and Letters of Credit

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Viavi Solutions Inc.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive (loss) income, of stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viavi Solutions Inc. and its subsidiaries at July 2, 2016 and June 27, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 2, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2016, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the ineffective design of controls over the determination of the interim tax provision as of that date. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness referred to above is described in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered this material weakness in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2016 consolidated financial statements and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it classifies deferred tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet in 2016.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Description of Business
Viavi Solutions Inc.
(“
Viavi
,” also referred to as “the Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), formerly JDS Uniphase Corporation (“JDSU”), is a global provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions to communications service providers, enterprises and their ecosystems, supported by a worldwide channel community. Our solutions deliver end-to-end visibility across physical, virtual and hybrid networks, enabling customers to optimize connectivity, quality of experience and profitability. Viavi is also a leader in high performance thin film optical coatings, providing light management solutions to anti-counterfeiting, consumer and industrial, government and healthcare and other markets.
Lumentum Separation
On August 1, 2015 (the “Separation Date”), Viavi completed the distribution of approximately
80.1%
of the outstanding shares of Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”) common stock (the “Distribution”). Concurrent with the Distribution, JDSU was renamed Viavi Solutions Inc. and, at the time of the Distribution, retained ownership of approximately
19.9%
of Lumentum’s outstanding shares. Lumentum was formed to hold Viavi’s communications and commercial optical products business segment (“CCOP”) and the WaveReady product line and, as a result of the Distribution, is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “LITE” on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). The Distribution was made to Viavi’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 27, 2015 (the “Record Date”), who received one share of Lumentum common stock for every five shares of Viavi common stock held as of the close of business on the Record Date and not sold prior to August 4, 2015, the ex-dividend date. The historical results of operations and the financial position have been recasted to present the Lumentum business as discontinued operations as described in “
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
.” Unless noted otherwise, discussion in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements pertain to continuing operations.
Fiscal Years
The Company utilizes a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30th. The Company’s fiscal
2016
was a 53-week year ending on
July 2, 2016
. The Company’s fiscal
2015
and
2014
were 52-week fiscal years ending on
June 27, 2015
, and
June 28, 2014
.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Company management (“Management”) to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of net revenue and expenses and the disclosure of commitments and contingencies during the reporting periods. The Company bases estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions about the future believed to be reasonable based on available information. The Company’s reported financial position or results of operations may be materially different under changed conditions or when using different estimates and assumptions, particularly with respect to significant accounting policies. If estimates or assumptions differ from actual results, subsequent periods are adjusted to reflect more current information.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly-liquid instruments such as treasury bills, commercial paper and other money market instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
At
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
, the Company’s short-term restricted cash balances were
$12.2 million
and
$26.2 million
, respectively, and the Company’s long-term restricted cash balances were
$6.0 million
and
$6.1 million
, respectively. These balances primarily include interest-bearing investments in bank certificates of deposit and money market funds which act as collateral

supporting the issuance of letters of credit and performance bonds for the benefit of third parties. Refer to the Company’s “
Note 11. Debts and Letters of Credit
” for more information.
Investments
The Company’s investments in debt securities and marketable equity securities, including the Company’s ownership of Lumentum’s common stock, are primarily classified as available-for-sale investments or trading securities and are recorded at fair value. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, net of tax, are reported within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Unrealized gains or losses on trading securities resulting from changes in fair value are recognized in current earnings. The Company’s short-term investments, which are classified as current assets, include certain securities with stated maturities of longer than
twelve months
as they are highly liquid and available to support current operations.
The Company periodically reviews these investments for impairment. If a debt security’s fair value is below amortized cost and the Company either intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Company records an other-than-temporary impairment charge to investment income (loss) for the entire amount of the impairment; if a debt security’s fair value is below amortized cost and the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost of the security, the Company separates the other-than-temporary impairment into the portion of the loss related to credit factors, or the credit loss portion, and the portion of the loss that is not related to credit factors, or the non-credit loss portion. The credit loss portion is the difference between the amortized cost of the security and the Company’s best estimate of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security. The non-credit loss portion is the residual amount of the other-than-temporary impairment. The credit loss portion is recorded as a charge to income (loss), and the non-credit loss portion is recorded as a separate component of Other comprehensive income (loss).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and deferred compensation liability, approximate fair value because of their short maturities. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.
Estimates of fair value of fixed-income securities are based on third party, market-based pricing sources which the Company believes to be reliable. These estimates represent the third parties’ good faith opinion as to what a buyer in the marketplace would pay for a security in a current sale. For instruments that are not actively traded, estimates may be based on current treasury yields adjusted by an estimated market credit spread for the specific instrument. The fair market value of the Company’s
0.625% Senior Convertible Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”)
fluctuates with interest rates and with the market price of the stock, but does not affect the carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet. Refer to the Company’s “
Note 11. Debts and Letters of Credit
” for more information.
Inventories
Inventory is valued at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of net realizable market value. The Company assesses the valuation on a quarterly basis and writes down the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon estimates of future demand, including warranty requirements. Our inventories include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
10
to
50
years for building and improvements,
2
to
20
years for machinery and equipment, and
2
to
5
years for furniture, fixtures, software and office equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized by the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the term of the lease. Demonstration units, which are Company products used for demonstration purposes for customers and/or potential customers and generally not intended to be sold, have an estimated useful life of
5
years and are amortized by the straight-line method.

Costs related to software acquired, developed or modified solely to meet the Company’s internal requirements and for which there are no substantive plans to market are capitalized in accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Only costs incurred after the preliminary planning stage of the project and after management has authorized and committed funds to the project are eligible for capitalization. Costs capitalized for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are included in Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired enterprise or assets over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company tests for impairment of goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter and at any other time when events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. Refer to “
Note 9. Goodwill
” for more information.
Circumstances that could trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to: a significant adverse change in the business climate or legal factors, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, change in customer, target market and strategy, unanticipated competition, loss of key personnel, or the likelihood that a reporting unit or significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or otherwise disposed.
An assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the result of the qualitative assessment is that it is more likely than not (i.e., greater than
50%
likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting unit, is less than its carrying amount, then the quantitative test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required.
Under the quantitative test, if the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Impairment of goodwill.” Measurement of the fair value of a reporting unit is based on one or more of the following fair value measures: amounts at which the unit as a whole could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties, using present value techniques of estimated future cash flows, or using valuation techniques based on multiples of earnings or revenue, or a similar performance measure.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased intangible assets through acquisitions. Purchased intangible assets primarily include acquired developed technologies (developed and core technology), customer relationships, proprietary know-how, trade secrets, and trademarks and trade names. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets, which is the period during which expected cash flows support the fair value of such intangible assets. Refer to “
Note 10. Acquired Developed Technology and Other Intangibles
” for more information.
Long-lived Asset Valuation (Property, Plant and Equipment
and Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization
)
Long-lived assets held and used
The Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability, at the asset group level, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset, significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors, accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset, current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset, or current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Recoverability is assessed based on the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The funded status of the Company’s retirement-related benefit plans is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation at fiscal year end, the measurement date. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) and for
57
|
VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
|
|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
the non-pension postretirement benefit plan the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement. The APBO represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits attributed to employee services already rendered. Unfunded or partially funded plans, with the benefit obligation exceeding the fair value of plan assets, are aggregated and recorded as a retirement and non-pension postretirement benefit obligation equal to this excess. The current portion of the retirement-related benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits payable in the next
12
months in excess of the fair value of plan assets, measured on a plan-by-plan basis. This liability is recorded in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to “
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
” for the impact on the pension plan obligations related to the Lumentum Separation.
Net periodic pension cost (income) is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and includes service cost, interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost and (gains) losses previously recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Service cost represents the actuarial present value of participant benefits attributed to services rendered by employees in the current year. Interest cost represents the time value of money cost associated with the passage of time. (Gains) losses arise as a result of differences between actual experience and assumptions or as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions. Prior service cost (credit) represents the cost of benefit improvements attributable to prior service granted in plan amendments. (Gains) losses and prior service cost (credit) not recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost (income) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as they arise are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of tax. Those (gains) losses and prior service cost (credit) are subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost (income) pursuant to the recognition and amortization provisions of the authoritative guidance.
The measurement of the benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost (income) is based on the Company’s estimates and actuarial valuations provided, by third-party actuaries, which are approved by Management. These valuations reflect the terms of the plans and use participant-specific information such as compensation, age and years of service, as well as certain assumptions, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases, and mortality rates. The Company evaluates these assumptions annually at a minimum. In estimating the expected return on plan assets, the Company considers historical returns on plan assets, adjusted for forward-looking considerations, inflation assumptions and the impact of the active management of the plan’s invested assets.
Concentration of Credit and Other Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables and foreign currency forward contracts. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are held in safekeeping by large, creditworthy financial institutions. The Company invests its excess cash primarily in U.S. government and agency bonds securities, corporate securities, money market funds, asset-backed securities, and other investment-grade securities. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity of these investments. The Company’s foreign exchange derivative instruments expose the Company to credit risk to the extent that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The Company seeks to mitigate such risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions and by spreading such risk across several major financial institutions. In addition, the potential risk of loss with any one counterparty resulting from such risk is monitored by the Company on an ongoing basis.
The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral from its customers. These evaluations require significant judgment and are based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment, bad debt write-off experience, and financial review of the customer.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. When the Company becomes aware that a specific customer is unable to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance to reflect the level of credit risk in the customer’s outstanding receivable balance. In addition, the Company records additional allowances based on certain percentages of aged receivable balances. These percentages take into account a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. The Company classifies bad debt expenses as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense.
The Company is not able to predict changes in the financial stability of its customers. Any material change in the financial status of any one or a group of customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Although such losses have been within management’s expectations to date, there can be no assurance that such allowances will continue to be adequate. The Company has significant trade receivables concentrated in the telecommunications industry.

While the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts balance is based on historical loss experience along with anticipated economic trends, unanticipated financial instability in the telecommunications industry could lead to higher than anticipated losses.
As of
July 2, 2016
,
one
customer represented greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable, net. As of
June 27, 2015
,
no
customers represented greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable, net.
During fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
certain customers generated more than 10% of total net revenue. Refer to "
Note 18. Operating Segments and Geographic Information
" for more information.
The Company relies on a limited number of suppliers for a number of key components contained in our products. The Company also relies on a limited number of significant independent contract manufacturers for the production of certain key components and subassemblies contained in our products.
The Company generally uses a rolling
twelve
month forecast based on anticipated product orders, customer forecasts, product order history and backlog to determine its materials requirements. Lead times for the parts and components that the Company orders vary significantly and depend on factors such as the specific supplier, contract terms and demand for a component at a given time. If the forecast does not meet actual demand, the Company may have excess or shortfalls of some materials and components, as well as excess inventory purchase commitments. The Company could experience reduced or delayed product shipments or incur additional inventory write-downs and cancellation charges or penalties, which would increase costs and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company conducts its business and sells its products to customers primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. In the normal course of business, the Company’s financial position is routinely subject to market risks associated with foreign currency rate fluctuations due to balance sheet positions in foreign currencies. The Company evaluates foreign exchange risks and utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce such risks, hedging the gains or losses generated by the re-measurement of significant foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The fair value of these contracts is reflected as other current assets or other current liabilities and the change in fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as income or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net to largely offset the change in fair value of the foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities which is also recorded as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net.
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in a local currency environment, where that local currency is the functional currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, with the resulting translation adjustments directly recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and expense accounts are translated at the prior month balance sheet exchange rates, which are deemed to approximate average monthly rate. Gains and losses from re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided, risk of loss has transferred and in cases where formal acceptance is required, customer acceptance has been obtained or customer acceptance provisions have lapsed. In situations where a formal acceptance is required but the acceptance only relates to whether the product meets its published specifications, revenue is recognized upon delivery provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have been resolved.
The Company reduces revenue for rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue is recognized only if these estimates can be reliably determined. The Company’s estimates are based on its historical results taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
In addition to the aforementioned general policies, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for multiple-element arrangements and for each major category of revenue.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
When a sales arrangement contains multiple deliverables, such as sales of products that include services, the multiple deliverables are evaluated to determine whether there are one or more units of accounting. Where there is more than one unit of accounting, then the entire fee from the arrangement is allocated to each unit of accounting based on the relative selling price. Under this approach, the selling price of a unit of accounting is determined by using a selling price hierarchy which requires the use of vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value if available, third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available, or best estimate of selling price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Revenue is recognized when the revenue recognition criteria for each unit of accounting are met.
The Company establishes VSOE of selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately and, in remote circumstances, using the price established by management having the relevant authority. TPE of selling price is established by evaluating similar and interchangeable competitor goods or services in sales to similarly situated customers. When VSOE or TPE are not available the Company then uses BESP. Generally, the Company is not able to determine TPE because its product strategy differs from that of others in our markets, and the extent of customization varies among comparable products or services from its peers. The Company establishes BESP using historical selling price trends and considering multiple factors including, but not limited to geographies, market conditions, competitive landscape, internal costs, gross margin objectives, and pricing practices. When determining BESP, the Company applies significant judgment in establishing pricing strategies and evaluating market conditions and product lifecycles.
To the extent a deliverable(s) in a multiple-element arrangement is subject to specific guidance (for example, software that is subject to the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition), the Company allocates the fair value of the units of accounting using relative selling price and that unit of accounting is accounted for in accordance with the specific guidance. Some product offerings include hardware that are integrated with or sold with software that delivers the functionality of the equipment. The Company believes this equipment is not considered software-related and would therefore be excluded from the scope of the authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition.
Hardware
Revenue from hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when there are no unfulfilled obligations from the Company that affect the customer’s final acceptance of the arrangement. Any cost of warranties and remaining obligations that are inconsequential or perfunctory are accrued when the corresponding revenue is recognized.
Services
Revenue from services and system maintenance is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. Revenue from professional service engagements is recognized once its delivery obligation is fulfilled. Revenue related to extended warranty and product maintenance contracts is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the delivery period. The Company also generates service revenue from hardware repairs and calibration which is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.
Software
The Company’s software arrangements generally consist of a perpetual license fee and Post-Contract Support (“PCS”). Where the Company has established VSOE of fair value for PCS contracts, this has generally been based on the renewal rate or the bell curve methodology. Revenue from maintenance, unspecified upgrades and technical support is recognized over the period such items are delivered. In multiple-element revenue arrangements that include software, software-related and non-software-related elements are accounted for in accordance with the following policies:
|
•
|
Non-software and software-related products are bifurcated based on a relative selling price
|
|
•
|
Software-related products are separated into units of accounting if all of the following criteria are met:
|
|
◦
|
The functionality of the delivered element(s) is not dependent on the undelivered element(s).
|
|
◦
|
There is VSOE of fair value of the undelivered element(s).
|
|
◦
|
Delivery of the delivered element(s) represents the culmination of the earnings process for that element(s).
|
60
|
VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
|
|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
If these criteria are not met, the software revenue is deferred until the earlier of when such criteria are met or when the last undelivered element is delivered. If there is VSOE of the undelivered item(s) but no such evidence for the delivered item(s), the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered item(s) equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate VSOE of the undelivered elements. In cases where VSOE is not established for PCS, revenue is recognized ratably over the PCS period after all software elements have been delivered and the only undelivered item is PCS.
Warranty
The Company provides reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. It estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company records costs related to shipping and handling of revenue in cost of sales for all periods presented.
Advertising Expense
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs totaled
$2.6 million
,
$1.7 million
and
$2.2 million
in fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively.
Research and Development (“R&D”) Expense
Costs related to R&D, which primarily consists of labor and benefits, supplies, facilities, consulting and outside service fees, are charged to expense as incurred. The authoritative guidance allows for capitalization of software development costs incurred after a product’s technological feasibility has been established until the product is available for general release to the public. To date, the period between achieving technological feasibility, which the Company has defined as the establishment of a working model and typically occurs when beta testing commences, and the general availability of such software has been very short. Accordingly, software development costs have been expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is measured at grant date, and recognized in expense over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the equity award. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award. The Company uses the Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the fair value of Full Value Awards with market conditions (“MSUs”). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and employee stock purchase plan awards (“ESPP”) using the Black-Scholes Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. This option-pricing model requires the input of assumptions, including the award’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.
The Company estimates the expected forfeiture rate pursuant to the authoritative guidance, and only recognizes expense for those shares expected to vest. When estimating forfeitures, the Company considers voluntary termination behavior as well as future workforce reduction programs. Estimated forfeiture is trued up to actual forfeiture as the equity awards vest. The total fair value of the equity awards, net of forfeiture, is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards for each separately vesting period of the award, except for MSUs which are amortized based upon graded vesting method.
Income Taxes
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, the Company recognizes income taxes using an asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of current and deferred taxes is based on provisions of the enacted tax law and the effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.
The authoritative guidance provides for recognition of deferred tax assets if the realization of such deferred tax assets is more likely than not to occur based on an evaluation of both positive and negative evidence and the relative weight of the evidence. With the exception of certain international jurisdictions, the Company has determined that at this time it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets attributable to the remaining jurisdictions will not be realized, primarily due to uncertainties related to its
61

|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards before they expire. Accordingly, the Company has established a valuation allowance for such deferred tax assets. If there is a change in the Company’s ability to realize its deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has been established, then its tax provision may decrease in the period in which it determines that realization is more likely than not. Likewise, if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized, then a valuation allowance may be established for such deferred tax assets and the Company’s tax provision may increase in the period in which we make the determination.
The authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes the recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, it provides guidance on recognition, classification, and disclosure of tax positions. The Company is subject to income tax audits by the respective tax authorities in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The determination of tax liabilities in each of these jurisdictions requires the interpretation and application of complex and sometimes uncertain tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities based on its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional tax liabilities are more likely than not. If the Company ultimately determines that the payment of such a liability is not necessary, then it reverses the liability and recognizes a tax benefit during the period in which the determination is made that the liability is no longer necessary.
The recognition and measurement of current taxes payable or refundable and deferred tax assets and liabilities requires that the Company make certain estimates and judgments. Changes to these estimates or a change in judgment may have a material impact on the Company’s tax provision in a future period.
Restructuring Accrual
In accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities, generally costs associated with restructuring activities are recognized when they are incurred. However, in the case of leases, the expense is estimated and accrued when the property is vacated. Given the significance of, and the timing of the execution of such activities, this process is complex and involves periodic reassessments of estimates made from the time the property was vacated, including evaluating real estate market conditions for expected vacancy periods and sub-lease income.
Additionally, a liability for post-employment benefits for workforce reductions related to restructuring activities is recorded when payment is probable, and the amount is reasonably estimable. The Company continually evaluates the adequacy of the remaining liabilities under its restructuring initiatives. Although the Company believes that these estimates accurately reflect the costs of its restructuring plans, actual results may differ, thereby requiring the Company to record additional provisions or reverse a portion of such provisions.
Loss Contingencies
The Company is subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss is accrued when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required.

Asset Retirement Obligations (“ARO”)
ARO are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets pertaining to leasehold improvements. These liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and the related asset retirement costs are capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related assets by the same amount as the liability. Asset retirement costs are subsequently depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company records period-to-period changes in the ARO liability resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows. The Company derecognizes ARO liabilities when the related obligations are settled. As of
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
, the Consolidated Balance Sheets included ARO of
$0.2 million
and
$1.7 million
, respectively, in Other current liabilities and

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. The new guidance also modifies the impairment models for available for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the steps required when assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt instrument. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to how an entity should recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The guidance specifies that an entity who is a lessee under lease agreements should recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous FASB guidance. Accounting for leases by lessors is largely unchanged under the new guidance. The guidance requires a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance to change the subsequent measurement of inventory from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Earlier application is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2015, the FASB issued guidance to remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and will apply to certain pension assets. The guidance will be applied retrospectively. The adoption is expected to result in change in disclosure only and will not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums.

This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 for its convertible debt, and will be applied retrospectively. Debt issuance costs as stated in
Note 11. Debts and Letters of Credit
will be netted against the long-term debt effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The consolidated balance sheet of each individual period presented will be retrospectively adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying this new guidance.
In May 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance will replace current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The FASB deferred the effective date for this guidance by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after such date. Earlier application of this guidance is permitted but not before the original date of December 15, 2016. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB clarified the implementation guidance on principal versus agent, identifying performance obligations, licensing, collectibility, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, provided clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and added some practical expedients as well as other transition matters. The new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact that this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
On August 1, 2015, the Company completed the separation of the Lumentum business (the “Separation”) and made a tax-free distribution of approximately
80.1%
of the outstanding shares of Lumentum common stock to Viavi shareholders who received
one
share of Lumentum common stock for every
five
shares of Viavi common stock held as of the close of business on July 27, 2015 (the “Record Date”) and not sold prior to
August 4, 2015
(the “ex-dividend date”). In connection with the Separation Viavi agreed to contribute
$137.6 million
all of which was contributed during fiscal 2016. As of the Distribution, the Company retained ownership of approximately
19.9%
, or
11.7 million
shares, of Lumentum’s outstanding common stock. Lumentum was formed to hold Viavi’s CCOP business and the WaveReady product line. As a result of the Distribution, Lumentum is now an independent public company trading under the symbol “LITE” on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). The Company agreed not to liquidate the retained shares during the first
six months
following the Distribution. However, in connection with a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, the Company committed to liquidate these shares within
three years
from the Distribution. As of
July 2, 2016
, the Company owns approximately
7.2 million
shares, of Lumentum’s common stock. Refer to “
Note 8. Investments and Fair Value Measurements
” for more information.
In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement, Separation and Distribution Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement, a Supply Agreement, and an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement with Lumentum and others.
The Contribution Agreement identifies the assets to be transferred, the liabilities to be assumed and the contracts to be assigned and it provides for when and how these transfers, assumptions and assignments will occur.
The Separation and Distribution Agreement governs the separation of the CCOP and WaveReady business, the transfer of assets and other matters related to Viavi’s relationship with Lumentum.
The Tax Matters Agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of Lumentum and Viavi with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests, tax returns, and certain other tax matters.
The Employee Matters Agreement governs the compensation and employee benefit obligations with respect to the current and former employees and non-employee directors of Lumentum and Viavi, and generally allocates liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee compensation, benefit plans and programs. The Employee Matters Agreement provides that employees of Lumentum will no longer participate in benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Viavi.
The Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company, Lumentum and Amada Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Amada”) set forth terms whereby the Company received
40,000
shares of Lumentum’s Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) pursuant to a binding commitment to sell the Series A Preferred Stock to Amada following the Separation. Upon Separation, in connection with the agreement, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 the Company sold
35,805
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to Amada for
$35.8 million
and the remaining
4,195
shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were canceled. The
$35.8 million
is included as a part of financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows.

The Supply Agreement outlines that Viavi will supply test equipment to Lumentum and Lumentum will supply components related to the Company’s metro, fiber and optical product lines and development services related to smart transceivers. The most significant component of the Supply Agreement is
$15.0 million
related to the sale of certain optical test equipment to Lumentum from the date of the agreement through July 2, 2016, of which the company recorded
$14.1 million
of net revenue during the fiscal year ended
July 2, 2016
.
The Intellectual Property Matters Agreement outlines the intellectual property rights and technology transferred to Lumentum upon the Separation, as well as the intellectual property and technology both companies can license from each other. In addition it outlines non-compete restrictions between Viavi and Lumentum.
As the separation of the Lumentum business represents a strategic shift that has and will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations and net assets of the Lumentum business are presented separately as discontinued operations for the
fiscal years ended
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
and as of
July 2, 2016
, in accordance with the authoritative guidance.
As of the Separation Date, Lumentum is a stand-alone publicly traded company that separately reports it financial results. Due to the difference between the basis of presentation for discontinued operations and the basis of presentation as a stand-alone company, the financial results of Lumentum included within discontinued operations for the Company may not be indicative of actual financial results of Lumentum as a stand-alone company.

$3.3 million
, an income tax receivable of
$1.3 million
and other long-term liabilities related to uncertain tax positions totaling
$0.1 million
on the Separation date. The Company utilized approximately
$1.0 billion
of federal net operating losses to offset income recognized as a result of the Separation and the license of Lumentum’s intellectual property to a foreign subsidiary.
The removal of Lumentum’s net assets and equity related adjustments upon the Separation are presented as an increase of Viavi's accumulated deficit in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity and represents a non-cash financing activity, excluding the cash transferred. Refer to “

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding ESPP, Full Value Awards, and options is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes all anti-dilutive common shares.

The Company acquired all outstanding shares of Network Instruments for

, net of working capital adjustments, which were classified as a financing activity within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The acquisition of Network Instruments further strengthens the Company’s portfolio of solutions for the enterprise, data center and cloud networking markets. In order to improve application performance, reduce costs and address increasing network complexity, enterprise network administrators are rapidly transforming their IT networks while embracing today’s most critical technology initiatives such as unified communications, cloud, and data center consolidation. Network Instruments helps enterprises simplify the management and optimization of their networks with high-performance solutions that provide actionable intelligence and deep network visibility. Network Instruments was integrated into the Company’s SE operating segment.

Acquired intangible assets are classified as Level 3 assets for which fair value is derived from valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The fair value of acquired developed technology, customer relationships, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and other intangible assets was determined based on an income approach using the discounted cash flow method. The intangible assets, except IPR&D, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of
five
years for the majority of acquired developed technology and customer relationships and
one
year for trade name. Order backlog was fully amortized in fiscal 2014.
In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company recognizes IPR&D at fair value as of the Network Instruments Closing Date. The IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. IPR&D is tested for impairment during the period it is considered an indefinite lived asset.
The goodwill arising from this acquisition is primarily attributed to sales of future products and services and the assembled workforce of Network Instruments. Goodwill has been assigned to the NE and SE segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill is not being amortized but is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, in accordance with authoritative guidance.
The estimated amount of Network Instruments’ net revenue and net loss, included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended June 28, 2014 was
$12.6 million
and
$9.6 million
, respectively. Network Instruments’ net revenue and net loss disclosed above reflect Management’s best estimate, based on information available at the reporting date.
The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information, for illustrative purposes only, for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 as if Network Instruments had been acquired on July 1, 2012. The unaudited estimated pro forma information combines the historical results of Network Instruments with the Company’s consolidated historical results and includes certain adjustments reflecting the estimated impact of fair value adjustments for the respective periods. The pro forma information is not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on July 1, 2012. Additionally, the pro forma financial information does not include the impact of possible business model changes and does not reflect pro forma adjustments to conform accounting policies between Network Instruments and the Company.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.
The Company’s cash and investment instruments are classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency.
|
•
|
Level 1 includes financial instruments for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets. Level 1 assets of the Company include money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, and marketable equity securities as they are traded with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions.
|
|
•
|
Level 2 includes financial instruments for which the valuations are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 instruments of the Company generally include certain U.S. and foreign government and agency securities, commercial paper, corporate and municipal bonds and notes, asset-backed securities, and foreign currency forward contracts. To estimate their fair value, the Company utilizes pricing models based on market data. The significant inputs for the valuation model usually include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker and dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, and industry and economic events.
|
|
•
|
Level 3 includes financial instruments for which fair value is derived from valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. As of
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
, the Company did not hold any Level 3 investment securities.
|
Foreign
Currency Forward Contracts
The Company has foreign subsidiaries that operate and sell the Company’s products in various markets around the world. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts and other instruments to manage foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities,

primarily certain short-term intercompany receivables and payables, and to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows related to foreign-currency transactions.
The forward contracts, most with a term of less than
120
days, were transacted near fiscal year end; therefore, the fair value of the contracts as of both
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
is not material. The change in the fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is recorded as gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of Interest and other income (expense), net.

Impairment of Goodwill
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. The Company determined that, based on its organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by Management for the year ended fiscal
2016
and
2015
, its reporting units were NE, SE and OSP. For the year ended Fiscal 2014, the Company’s reporting unit were NSE and OSP.

Fiscal 2016
Interim Review
During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company released the relative fair value of goodwill in our NE reporting unit related to the WaveReady products line which is now part of Lumentum as of the Separation date. In connection with this change in the NE reporting unit, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test for its NE reporting unit under the qualitative assessment of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing. The Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the NE reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. There were no events or changes in circumstances which triggered an impairment review for the remaining reporting units.
Annual Review
During the fourth quarter the Company performed the goodwill impairment test for all its reporting units under the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Other than noted above there were no other triggering events during the interim periods of fiscal 2016 and thus, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter, in line with its completion of its annual operating plan for fiscal 2017.
Under the first step of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing, the fair value of the NE and OSP reporting units was determined based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. The market approach estimates the fair value of the business based on a comparison of the reporting unit to comparable publicly traded companies in similar lines of business. Due to lack of comparability with its peer companies the fair value of the SE reporting unit was determined only utilizing the income approach. The Company assumed a cash flow period of
10
years, long-term annual growth rates of
3.0%
to
7.0%
, discount rates of
14.0%
to
17.0%
and terminal value growth rates of
3.0%
to
5.0%
. The Company believes that the assumptions and rates used in the impairment test are reasonable, but they are judgmental, and variations in any of the assumptions or rates could result in materially different calculations of impairment amounts. The determination of the estimated fair value of goodwill required the use of significant unobservable inputs which are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. The sum of the fair values of the reporting units was reconciled to the Company’s current market capitalization plus an estimated control premium. Based on the first step of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing, the Company concluded that the fair value of all reporting units, except SE, were in excess of their carrying value. The fair value of the SE reporting unit was lower than the carry value based on the completion of its annual operating plan for fiscal 2017 in the fourth quarter which revealed a longer investment cycle being needed for certain growth products within the SE, coupled with a decline in the reporting unit’s revenue and operating profitability in fiscal 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 when goodwill was last tested for impairment.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test involved performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation to determine the implied fair value of the SE reporting unit’s goodwill. This process is complex and required judgment in the development of assumptions that affected the determination of the fair value of the SE reporting unit’s individual assets and liabilities, including previously unrecognized intangible assets. Based on the step two analysis, the Company determined that all of the SE goodwill balance of
$91.4 million
was impaired and therefore recorded as an impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior to completing the goodwill impairment test, the Company tested the recoverability of the SE long-lived assets (other than goodwill) and concluded that such assets were not impaired.
Fiscal 2015
Interim Review
As the Company reorganized its NSE segment into two reportable segments, NE and SE, during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, goodwill allocated to the new NE and SE reporting units was reviewed under the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test in accordance with the authoritative guidance.
The fair value of the new reporting units was determined based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. Based on the first step of the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of each reporting unit is significantly above its carrying amount. As such, the Company was not required to perform step two of the analysis. The Company recorded no impairment charge as a result of the interim period impairment test performed during the three months ended September 27, 2014. There were no events or changes in circumstances which triggered an impairment review for the remaining reporting units.

|
Annual Review
During the fourth quarter the Company reviewed the goodwill of all its reporting units under the qualitative assessment of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing. The Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units that currently have goodwill recorded exceeded its carrying amount. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company considered the impact of key factors, including: change in industry and competitive environment, budgeted-to-actual operating performance from prior year, and consolidated company stock price and performance. As such, it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test at this time and hence the Company recorded no impairment charge in accordance with its annual impairment test.
Fiscal 2014
During fiscal 2014, the Company reviewed goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter as no triggering events were noted. The Company reviewed goodwill under the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Under the first step of the authoritative guidance for impairment testing, the fair value of the reporting units was determined based on a combination of the income approach, which estimates the fair value based on the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the fair value based on comparable market prices. Based on the first step of the analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of each reporting unit is significantly above its carrying amount. As such, the Company was not required to perform step two of the analysis on any reporting unit to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The Company recorded no impairment charge in accordance with its annual impairment test.

Fiscal
2016
During the first quarter of fiscal
2016
, the Company completed its in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) project related to the fiscal 2014 acquisition of Trendium. Accordingly, $
1.8 million
was transferred from indefinite life intangible assets to acquired developed technology intangible assets with a useful life of
thirty-six months
.
Prior to conducting step one of the goodwill impairment tests for the SE reporting unit, the Company first evaluated the recoverability of the long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets. In accordance with authoritative guidance, when indicators of impairment are present, the Company tests long-lived assets (other than goodwill) for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of an asset group, which is the same as the reporting unit
,
to its net undiscounted cash flows expected to be
79

|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
generated from its use and their eventual disposition over the remaining useful live of the primary asset. The result of the analysis indicated that the estimated undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group, the long-lived asset group is recoverable; therefore, an impairment was not identified.
Fiscal
2015
During fiscal 2015, the Company completed its in-process research and development (“IPR&D) project related to the fiscal 2014 acquisition of Network Instruments. Accordingly,
$1.7 million
was transferred from indefinite life intangible assets to acquired developed technology intangible assets and the Company began amortizing over its useful life of
fifty-two
months. Also during fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a
$3.6 million
IPR&D impairment charge for an ongoing project related to the fiscal 2014 acquisition of Trendium in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance. The charge was recorded to Research and development (“R&D”) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, the Company recorded
$31.9 million
,
$51.4 million
and

0.625%
Senior Convertible Notes
On August 21, 2013, the Company issued
$650.0 million
aggregate principal amount of
0.625%
Senior Convertible Notes due 2033 (“2033 Notes”) in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the 2033 Notes amounted to
$636.3 million
after issuance costs. The 2033 Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company and bear interest at an annual rate of
0.625%
payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each calendar year. The 2033 Notes mature on August 15, 2033 unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
Under certain circumstances and during certain periods, the 2033 Notes may be converted at the option of the holders into cash up to the principal amount, with the remaining amount converted into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock at the Company’s election. The initial conversion price is
$18.83
per share, representing a
40.0%
premium to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on the pricing date, August 15, 2013, which will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Holders may convert the 2033 Notes at any time on or prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding February 15, 2033, and other than during the period from, and including, February 15, 2018 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 20, 2018, in multiples of
$1,000
principal amount, under the following circumstances:
|
•
|
on any date during any calendar quarter beginning after December 31, 2013 (and only during such calendar quarter) if the closing price of the Company’s common stock was more than
130%
of the then current conversion price for at least
20
trading days during the
30
consecutive trading-day period ending the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter;
|
|
•
|
if the 2033 Notes are called for redemption;
|
|
•
|
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events;
|
|
•
|
if the Company is party to a specified transaction, a fundamental change or a make-whole fundamental change (each as defined in the indenture of the 2033 Notes); or
|
|
•
|
during the
five
consecutive business-day period immediately following any
10
consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price per
$1,000
principal amount of the 2033 Notes for each day of such
10
consecutive trading-day period was less than
98%
of the product of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such date.
|
During the periods from, and including, February 15, 2018 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 20, 2018 and from, and including, February 15, 2033 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert the 2033 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, holders of the 2033 Notes were given notice of the planned separation of the Lumentum business and the right to convert any debentures they own from the date of notice through the end of the business day preceding the ex-dividend date.
No
holders of the 2033 Notes exercised the conversion right before it expired.
Following the separation of the Lumentum business on August 1, 2015, the conversion price per share was adjusted pursuant to the terms of the 2033 Notes relating to the occurrence of a spin-off event. Effective as of the end of the business day on August 17, 2015, the initial conversion price per share was adjusted to
$11.28
per share of the Company’s common stock traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “VIAV.”
Holders of the 2033 Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of the 2033 Notes on each of August 15, 2018, August 15, 2023 and August 15, 2028, or upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, in each case, at a price equal to
100%
of the principal amount of the 2033 Notes to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the purchase date. The Company may redeem all or a portion of the 2033 Notes for cash at any time on or after August 20, 2018, at a redemption price equal to
100%
of the principal amount of the 2033 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance, the Company separated the 2033 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying value of the liability component at issuance was calculated as the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of
5.4%
based on the
5
-year swap rate plus credit spread as of the issuance date. The credit spread for the Company is based on the historical average “yield to worst” rate for BB rated issuers. The difference between the 2033 Notes principal and the carrying value of the liability component, representing the value of conversion premium assigned to the equity component,
81

VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.
|
|
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
was recorded as a debt discount on the issuance date and is being accreted using the effective interest rate of
5.4%
over the period from the issuance date through August 15, 2018 as a non-cash charge to interest expense. The carrying value of the liability component was determined to be
$515.6 million
, and the equity component, or debt discount, of the 2033 Notes was determined to be
$134.4 million
. As of
July 2, 2016
, the expected remaining term of the 2033 Notes is
2.1
years.
In connection with the issuance of the 2033 Notes, the Company incurred
$13.7 million
of issuance costs, which were bifurcated into the debt issuance costs, attributable to the liability component of
$10.9 million
and the equity issuance costs, attributable to the equity component of
$2.8 million
based on their relative values. The debt issuance costs were capitalized and are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method from issuance date through August 15, 2018. The equity issuance costs were netted against the equity component in additional paid-in capital at the issuance date. As of
July 2, 2016
, the unamortized portion of the debt issuance costs related to the 2033 Notes was
$5.0 million
, which was included in Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Based on quoted market prices as of
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
, the fair value of the 2033 Notes was approximately
$633.0 million
and
$644.0 million
. The 2033 Notes are classified within Level 2 as they are not actively traded in markets.

At the beginning of the second quarter of fiscal
2016
, the Company prospectively adopted the authoritative guidance on balance sheet classification of deferred taxes, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, to be classified as non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. This classification eliminates the need to separately identify the net current and net non-current deferred tax asset or liability in each jurisdiction. As of
June 27, 2015
, deferred tax assets and
86

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
deferred tax liabilities of
$2.0 million
and
$7.1 million
, respectively, were not reclassified from current to non-current as the Company elected to adopt the authoritative guidance prospectively.
As of
July 2, 2016
, the Company had federal, state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards of
$5,008.3 million
,
$886.0 million
and
$609.2 million
, respectively, and federal, state and foreign research and other tax credit carryforwards of
$100.7 million
,
$39.6 million
and
$0.7 million
, respectively. As a result of the Lumentum transaction we utilized federal and state net operating losses of approximately
$1,026 million
and
$226 million
, respectively, and generated capital losses of approximately
$393 million
. Of the remaining net operation losses, approximately
$106.4 million
when realized will be credited to additional paid-in capital. The Company’s policy is to account for the utilization of tax attributes under a with-and-without approach. The tax net operating loss, tax credit and capital loss carryforwards will start to expire in calendar 2017 and at various other dates through 2035 if not utilized. Utilization of the tax net operating losses may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state and foreign provisions. Loss carryforward limitations may result in the expiration or reduced utilization of a portion of the Company’s net operating losses.
U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes associated with the repatriation of earnings of foreign subsidiaries have not been provided on
$319.6 million
of undistributed earnings for certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. The Company estimates that an additional
$17.0 million
of U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes would have to be provided if these earnings were repatriated back to the U.S.
The valuation allowance
decreased
by
$160.2 million
in fiscal
2016
, increased by
$12.6 million
in fiscal
2015
, and decreased by
$12.1 million
in fiscal
2014
. The decrease during fiscal
2016
was primarily due to the Lumentum transaction. The increase during fiscal
2015
was primarily related to the increases in the deferred tax assets and intangible amortization. The decrease during fiscal
2014
was primarily related to an increase in acquisition and debt issuance related deferred tax liabilities. The following table provides information about the activity of our deferred tax valuation allowance

Approximately
$514.7 million
of the valuation allowance as of
July 2, 2016
was attributable to pre-fiscal 2006 windfall stock option deductions, the benefit of which will be credited to paid-in-capital if and when realized through a reduction in income tax payable. Beginning with fiscal 2006, the Company began to track the windfall stock option deductions off-balance sheet. If and when realized, the tax benefit associated with those deductions will be credited to additional paid-in-capital.
During fiscal 2014, the Company recognized
$21.7 million
of uncertain tax benefits related to deferred tax assets due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in a non-US jurisdiction. In addition, the Company recorded a tax benefit of
$6.4 million
related to the income tax intraperiod tax allocation rules in relation to other comprehensive income.

The unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to the allocations of revenue and costs among the Company’s global operations and the validity of some U.S. tax credits. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at
July 2, 2016
are
$3.0 million
of tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at
July 2, 2016
are
$38.7 million
of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to the valuation allowance and are included in deferred taxes and other non-current tax liabilities, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax provision. The amount of interest and penalties accrued as of
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
was approximately
$1.7 million
and
$1.6 million
, respectively. During fiscal
2016
, the Company’s accrued interest and penalties decreased by
$0.1 million
primarily relating to the lapse of statute in a non-US jurisdiction. The unrecognized tax benefits that may be recognized during the next twelve months is approximately
$1.0 million
.
The Company is routinely subject to various federal, state and foreign audits by taxing authorities. The Company believes that adequate amounts have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these examinations.

Repurchase of Common Stock
Fiscal 2014
During fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased
7.4 million
shares of its outstanding common stock at
$13.45
per share in privately negotiated transactions concurrently with the issuance of its 2033 Notes. The repurchases were not made pursuant to any plan or program. The total purchase price of
$100.0 million
was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the stated par value per share with the remainder charged to accumulated deficit.
On May 21, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase shares of its common stock worth up to an aggregate purchase price of
$100.0 million
through open market or private transactions between May 27, 2014 and June 27, 2015. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company repurchased approximately
4.9 million
shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of
$11.37
per share.
Fiscal 2015
During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company repurchased approximately
0.4 million
shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of
$11.93
per share under the stock repurchase program authorized on May 21, 2014. The total purchase price of these repurchases under the stock repurchase program of
$60.0 million
was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the stated par value per share with the remainder charged to accumulated deficit.
Fiscal 2016
In November 2015, the Company entered into a
$40.0 million
accelerated share repurchase agreement (the “ASR”) with a financial institution that was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2016. Upon making the upfront payment of
$40.0 million
, the Company received an initial delivery of
5.3 million
shares from the financial institution during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, which were retired and recorded as a
$32.0 million
reduction to stockholder’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016 the ASR was completed and an additional
1.3 million
shares were delivered from the financial institution, based on the final settlement price of
$6.05
per share, which were retired and recorded as an
$8.0 million
reduction to stockholder’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company reflects the repurchase of common stock under the ASR in the period the shares are delivered for the purposes of calculating earnings per share.
On February 1, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase shares of its common stock worth up to an aggregate purchase price of
$100.0 million
through open market or private transactions between February 1, 2016 and February 1, 2017. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company repurchased approximately
0.7 million
shares of common stock in open market purchases at an average price of
$6.60
per share under the stock repurchase program authorized on February 1, 2016. The total purchase price of these repurchases under the stock repurchase program of
$4.5 million
was reflected as a decrease to common stock based on the stated par value per share with the remainder charged to accumulated deficit.
All common shares repurchased during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
under this program have been canceled and retired.
Preferred Stock
The Company’s Board of Directors has authority to issue up to
1,000,000
shares of undesignated preferred stock and to determine the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series, without the consent of the Company’s stockholders. The preferred stock could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to those of the holders of common stock. The issuance of any preferred stock subsequently issued by the Company’s Board of Directors, under some circumstances, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.
Exchangeable Shares of JDS Uniphase Canada Ltd.
On March 31, 2014 (“the Redemption Date”), the Company exercised its right to redeem approximately
3.2 million
outstanding exchangeable shares of JDS Uniphase Canada Ltd (“Exchangeable Shares”). On the Redemption Date, holders of

Exchangeable Shares were entitled to receive
one
share of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each Exchangeable Share held. There were
no
Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding as of
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
, respectively.
Stock-Based Benefit Plans
Stock Option Plans
As of
July 2, 2016
, the Company had
12.5 million
shares of stock options and Full Value Awards issued and outstanding to employees and directors under the Restated 2005 Acquisition Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2005 Plan”), Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2003 Plan”), inducement grants in connection with the appointment of our new CEO in fiscal 2016 and various other plans the Company assumed through acquisitions. The exercise price for stock options is equal to the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options. Options generally become exercisable over a
three
-year or
four
-year period and, if not exercised, expire from
five
to
ten
years after the date of grant.
On November 14, 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved
two
amendments to the 2003 Plan. The first amendment increased the number of shares that may be issued under this plan by
10,000,000
shares. The second amendment extended the 2003 Plan’s terms for an additional
ten
year period after the date of approval of the amendment. On December 5, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved another amendment to the 2003 Plan to increase the number of shares that may be issued under the plan by
9,000,000
shares. On August 1, 2015, following the Separation, the number of shares available for grant and all outstanding awards were automatically adjusted pursuant to the terms of the 2003 Plan and 2005 Plan.
As of
July 2, 2016
,
19.4 million
shares of common stock, primarily under the 2003 Plan and the 2005 Plan, were available for grant.
Employee Stock Purchase Plans
In June 1998, the Company adopted the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “1998 Purchase Plan”). The 1998 Purchase Plan, which became effective August 1, 1998, provides eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Company through periodic payroll deductions and provides a discounted purchase price as well as a look-back period. The 1998 Purchase Plan is structured as a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. However, the 1998 Purchase Plan is not intended to be a qualified pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The 1998 Purchase Plan will terminate upon the earlier of August 1, 2018 or the date on which all shares available for issuance have been sold. On August 1, 2015, following the Separation, the number of shares available for issuance was automatically adjusted pursuant to the terms of the 1998 Purchase Plan. As of July 2, 2016,
5.5 million
shares remained available for issuance. The 1998 Purchase Plan provides a
5%
discount and a
six
month look-back period.
Full Value Awards
Full Value Awards refer to RSUs (time-based, Non-Performance Shares) and MSUs (Market-based, Performance Shares) that are granted with the exercise price equal to
zero
and are converted to shares immediately upon vesting. These Full Value Awards are performance-based with market conditions, time-based or a combination of both and expected to vest over
one
to
four
years. The fair value of the time-based Full Value Awards is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award.

Impact on Stock-based Compensation Due to Separation
In connection with the separation of the Lumentum business on August 1, 2015 and in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement, the Company made certain adjustments to the exercise price and number of shares underlying stock-based compensation awards with the intention of preserving the economic value of the awards for Viavi employees. These adjustments resulted in a modification of equity awards with total incremental stock-based compensation of
$13.6 million
, to be amortized over the remaining service periods of the underlying awards.
Unless otherwise noted, share amounts and grant-date fair values for periods prior to the Separation Date represent the Company’s historical information and have not been adjusted to remove grants made to employees who transferred to Lumentum as part of the Separation. Refer to “
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
” for more information on the Separation.
Impact on Stock-based Compensation Due to Amendments in the Change of Control Benefits Plan
During the year ended
June 27, 2015
, the Company amended its Change of Control Benefits Plan (the “Plan”) to add a spin-off of certain Company assets to the circumstances that could trigger benefits under the Plan, as well as other revisions. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee approved the separation of certain executives in the current fiscal year. Pursuant to the Plan, upon termination, all unvested equity awards that have been granted or issued to certain terminated executives become immediately vested and stock options shall become fully exercisable with an extended exercise period of
two years
from the termination date.
The amendments resulted in a modification of equity awards for
six
executives and total incremental stock-based compensation of
$6.3 million
, which was amortized over the period between the modification date and the termination dates of the executives.

(1) Weighted average exercise price is calculated using exercise prices prior to the Separation and after the Separation.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended
July 2, 2016
was
$1.3 million
. In connection with these exercises, the tax benefit realized by the Company was immaterial due to the fact that the Company has no material benefit in foreign jurisdictions and a full valuation allowance on its domestic deferred tax assets. As of
July 2, 2016
,
$2.0 million
of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options remains to be amortized. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated amortization period of
3.6
years.

Performance Shares refer to the Company’s MSU awards, where the actual number of shares awarded upon vesting may be higher or lower than the target amount depending on the achievement of the relevant market conditions. The majority of MSUs vest in equal annual installments over
three
to
four
years based on the attainment of certain total shareholder return performance measures and the employee’s continued service through the vest date. The aggregate grant-date fair value of MSUs granted during fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
was estimated to be
$3.7 million
,
$9.4 million
and
$9.2 million
respectively, and was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation.
|
As of
July 2, 2016
,
$39.1 million
of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to Full Value Awards remains to be amortized. That cost is expected to be recognized over an estimated amortization period of
2.0
years.
Full Value Awards are converted into shares upon vesting. Shares equivalent in value to the minimum withholding taxes liability on the vested shares are withheld by the Company for the payment of such taxes. During fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, the Company paid
$11.4 million
,
$22.1 million
and
$21.4 million
, respectively, and classified the payments as operating cash outflows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Expected Term:
The Company's expected term for stock options was calculated utilizing the simplified method in accordance with the authoritative guidance. The Company used the simplified method as the Company does not have sufficient historical share option exercise data due to the limited number of shares granted as well as changes in the Company's business following the Separation, rendering existing historical experience less reliable in formulating expectations for current grants. The Company’s expected term for ESPP is in line with the
six
month look-back period of its ESPP.
Expected Volatility:
The Company has limited trading history following the Separation; therefore, the expected volatility for stock options was based on the historical volatility of the Company's common stock and its peers. For grants prior to the Separation and for ESPP grants, the Company determined that a combination of the implied volatility of its traded options and historical volatility of its stock price based on the expected term of the equity instrument most appropriately reflects market expectation of future volatility. Implied volatility is based on traded options of the Company’s common stock with a remaining maturity of four and a half months or greater.
Risk-Free Interest Rate:
The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the BSM valuation method on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term.
Expected Dividend:
The BSM valuation model calls for a single expected dividend yield as an input. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future.
Employee 401(k) Plans
The Company sponsors the Viavi Solutions 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), a Defined Contribution Plan under ERISA, which provides retirement benefits for its eligible employees through tax deferred salary deductions. The 401(k) Plan allows employees to contribute up to
50%
of their annual compensation, with contributions limited to
$18,000
in calendar year
2016
as set by the Internal Revenue Service.
For all eligible participants who have completed
180
days of service with Viavi, the 401(k) Plan provided for a
100%
match of employees’ contributions up to the first
3%
of annual compensation and
50%
match on the next
2%
of compensation. All matching contributions are made in cash and vest immediately. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were
$4.7 million
,
$4.8 million
, and
$4.8 million
in fiscal
2016
,
2015
and
2014
, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company also provides for the benefit of certain eligible employees in the U.S. a non-qualified retirement plan. This plan is designed to permit employee deferral of a portion of salaries in excess of certain tax limits and deferral of bonuses. This plan’s assets are designated as trading securities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to “
Note 8. Investments and Fair Value Measurements
” for more information. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company suspended all employee contributions into the plan.
Employee Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors significant qualified and non-qualified pension plans for certain past and present employees in the U.K. and Germany. The Company also is responsible for the non-pension post-retirement benefit obligation assumed from a past acquisition. In connection with the Separation, the Company transferred the liabilities and assets of the Switzerland defined benefit pension plans to Lumentum in the amount of
$6.7 million
and
$4.6 million
, respectively.
Most of the plans have been closed to new participants and no additional service costs are being accrued, except for certain plans in Germany assumed in connection with an acquisition during fiscal 2010. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation or stated amounts for each year of service. As of
July 2, 2016
, the U.K. plan was partially funded while the other plans were unfunded. The Company’s policy for funded plans is to make contributions equal to or greater than the requirements prescribed by law or regulation. For unfunded plans, the Company pays the post-retirement benefits when due. Future estimated benefit payments are summarized below. No other required contributions to defined benefit plans are expected in fiscal
2016
, but the Company, at its discretion, can make contributions to one or more of the defined benefit plans.
The Company accounts for its obligations under these pension plans in accordance with the authoritative guidance which requires the Company to record its obligation to the participants, as well as the corresponding net periodic cost. The Company determines its obligation to the participants and its net periodic cost principally using actuarial valuations provided by third-party actuaries. The obligation the Company records on its Consolidated Balance Sheets is reflective of the total PBO and the fair value of plan assets.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 the Company has elected to early adopt the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB that provides a practical expedient permitting an entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The Company has elected to early adopt the month-end date of June 30, which is the closest month-end to the Company’s fiscal year as the measurement date for all of the Company's qualified and the non-qualified pension plans in certain countries beginning in fiscal 2016. Measurement dates for prior periods are not impacted.

Assumptions
Underlying both the calculation of the PBO and net periodic cost are actuarial valuations. These valuations use participant-specific information such as salary, age, years of service, and assumptions about interest rates, compensation increases and other factors. At a minimum, the Company evaluates these assumptions annually and makes changes as necessary.
The discount rate reflects the estimated rate at which the pension benefits could be effectively settled. In developing the discount rate, the Company considered the yield available on an appropriate AA corporate bond index, adjusted to reflect the term of the scheme’s liabilities as well as a yield curve model developed by the Company’s actuaries.
The expected return on assets was estimated by using the weighted average of the real expected long term return (net of inflation) on the relevant classes of assets based on the target asset mix and adding the chosen inflation assumption.
The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic cost and benefit obligation for the Company’s U.K. and German pension plans:

Investment Policies and Strategies
The Company’s investment objectives for its funded pension plan are to ensure that there are sufficient assets available to pay out members’ benefits as and when they arise and that should the plan be discontinued at any point in time there would be sufficient assets to meet the discontinuance liabilities.
To achieve the objectives, the trustees of the U.K. pension plan are responsible for regularly monitoring the funding position and managing the risk by investing in assets expected to outperform the increase in value of the liabilities in the long term and by investing in a diversified portfolio of assets in order to minimize volatility in the funding position. The trustees invest in a range of frequently traded funds (“pooled funds”) rather than direct holdings in individual securities to maintain liquidity, achieve diversification and reduce the potential for risk concentration. The funded plan assets are managed by professional third-party investment managers.

, respectively.
Purchase Obligations
Purchase obligations of
$55.9 million
as of
July 2, 2016
, represent legally-binding commitments to purchase inventory and other commitments made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. Although open purchase orders are considered enforceable and legally binding, the terms generally allow the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust the requirements based on the Company’s business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. Obligations to purchase inventory and other commitments are generally expected to be fulfilled within
one
year.
The Company depends on a limited number of contract manufacturers, subcontractors, and suppliers for raw materials, packages and standard components. The Company generally purchases these single or limited source products through standard

|
purchase orders or one-year supply agreements and has
no
significant long-term guaranteed supply agreements with such vendors. While the Company seeks to maintain a sufficient safety stock of such products and maintains on-going communications with its suppliers to guard against interruptions or cessation of supply, the Company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected by a stoppage or delay of supply, substitution of more expensive or less reliable products, receipt of defective parts or contaminated materials, increases in the price of such supplies, or the Company’s inability to obtain reduced pricing from its suppliers in response to competitive pressures.
Financing Obligations - Eningen and Santa Rosa
Eningen
On December 16, 2011, the Company executed and closed the sale and leaseback transaction of certain buildings and land in Eningen, Germany (the “Eningen Transactions”). The Company sold approximately
394,217
square feet of land,
nine
buildings with approximately
386,132
rentable square feet, and parking areas. The Company leased back approximately
158,154
rentable square feet comprised of
two
buildings and a portion of a basement of another building (the “Leased Premises”). The lease term is
10 years
with the right to cancel a certain portion of the lease after
5 years
.
Concurrent with the sale and lease back, the Company has provided collateral in case of a default by the Company relative to future lease payments for the Leased Premises. Due to this continuing involvement, the related portion of the cash proceeds and transaction costs, associated with the Leased Premises and other buildings which the Company continues to occupy, was recorded under the financing method in accordance with the authoritative guidance on leases and sales of real estate. Accordingly, the carrying value of these buildings and associated land will remain on the Company’s books and the buildings will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The portion of the proceeds received have been recorded as a financing obligation, a portion of the lease payments are recorded as a decrease to the financing obligation and a portion is recognized as interest expense. Imputed rental income from the buildings sold but not leased back and currently being occupied is recorded as a reduction in the financing obligation.
As of
July 2, 2016
, of the total financing obligation related to the Eningen Transactions,
$0.1 million
was included in Other current liabilities, and
$4.0 million
was included in Other non-current liabilities. As of
June 27, 2015
, of the total financing obligation related to the Eningen Transactions,
$0.1 million
was included in Other current liabilities, and
$4.1 million
was included in Other non-current liabilities.
Santa Rosa
On August 21, 2007, the Company entered into a sale and lease back of certain buildings and land in Santa Rosa, California (the “Santa Rosa Transactions”). The Company sold approximately
45
acres of land,
13
buildings with approximately
492,000
rentable square feet, a building pad, and parking areas. The Company leased back
7
buildings with approximately
286,000
rentable square feet. The net cash proceeds received from the transaction were
$32.2 million
. The lease terms range from a
one
-year lease with multiple renewal options to a
ten
-year lease with
two
five
-year renewal options.
The Company has an ongoing obligation to remediate environmental matters, impacting the entire site, as required by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board which existed at the time of sale. Concurrent with the sale and lease back, the Company has issued an irrevocable letter of credit for
$3.8 million
as security for the remediation of the environmental matter that remains in effect until the issuance of a notice of
no
further action letter from the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. In addition, the lease agreement for
one
building included an option to purchase at fair market value, at the end of the lease term. Due to these various forms of continuing involvement the transaction was recorded under the financing method in accordance with the authoritative guidance on leases and sales of real estate.
Accordingly, the value of the buildings and land will remain on the Company’s books and the buildings will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The proceeds received have been recorded as a financing obligation, a portion of the lease payments are recorded as a decrease to the financing obligation and a portion is recognized as interest expense. Imputed rental income from the buildings sold but not leased back is recorded as a reduction in the financing obligation.
As of
July 2, 2016
,
$0.8 million
was included in Other current liabilities, and
$24.7 million
was included in Other non-current liabilities. As of
June 27, 2015
,
$1.4 million
was included in Other current liabilities, and
$24.8 million
was included in Other non-current liabilities.

The lease payments due under the agreement reset to fair market rental rates upon the Company’s execution of the renewal options.
Guarantees
In accordance with authoritative guidance which requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the guarantor must recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee. In addition, disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a tabular reconciliation of the changes of the entity’s product warranty liabilities, are required.
The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to: (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company’s businesses or assets; (ii) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and other claims arising from the Company’s use of the applicable premises; and (iii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship.
The terms of such obligations vary. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and
no
liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
July 2, 2016
and
June 27, 2015
.
Product Warranties
In general, the Company offers a
three
-year warranty for most of its products. The Company provides reserves for the estimated costs of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The Company estimates the costs of its warranty obligations based on its historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials to repair or replace defective products and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise with specific products. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
The following table presents the changes in the Company’s warranty reserve during fiscal years
2016
and
2015

Legal Proceedings
In June 2016, the Company received a court decision regarding the validity of an amendment to a pension deed of trust related to one of its foreign subsidiaries which the Company contends contained an error requiring the Company to increase the pension plan’s benefit. The Company had subsequently further amended the deed to rectify the error. The court ruled that the amendment increasing the pension plan benefit was valid until the subsequent amendment. Prior to this decision, the Company, in consultation with outside legal counsel, believed that the pension deed of trust document was invalid or, alternatively, that the subsequent rectification should be applied retroactively. Under both scenarios, the Company believed that the likelihood of an increase in plan benefits was remote. While the Company is pursuing other legal arguments in this matter, such as appealing the court decision and pursuing a claim against the U.K. law firm responsible for the error, the Company determined that the likelihood of loss to be probable as of July 2, 2016 and estimated the increase in liability to range from GBP
5.7 million
to GBP
8.4 million
. The Company accrued GBP
5.7 million
, or
$8.4 million
, in accordance with authoritative guidance on contingencies. The accrual is included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense and included in pension and post-employment benefits, which is a component of other non-current liabilities, in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

The Company is subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. While management currently believes that resolving claims against the Company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future. Were an unfavorable final outcome to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the effect becomes reasonably estimable.
The Company evaluates its reportable segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance on segment reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Oleg Khaykin, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) pursuant to the guidance. The CODM allocates resources to the segments based on their business prospects, competitive factors, net revenue and operating results.
The Company is a global provider of network test, monitoring and assurance solutions to communications service providers, enterprises and their ecosystems. Our solutions deliver end-to-end visibility across physical, virtual and hybrid networks, enabling customers to optimize connectivity, quality of experience and profitability. Viavi is also a leader in high performance thin film optical coatings, providing light management solutions to anti-counterfeiting, consumer and industrial, government and healthcare and other markets.
The Company’s reportable segments are:
(i) Network Enablement (“NE”):
NE provides testing solutions that access the network to perform build-out and maintenance tasks. These solutions include instruments, software and services to design, build, activate, certify, troubleshoot and optimize networks. The company also offers a range of product support and professional services such as repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for our products
(ii) Service Enablement (“SE”):
SE solutions are embedded systems that yield network, service and application performance data. These solutions—including microprobes and software—monitor, collect and analyze network data to reveal the actual customer experience and to identify opportunities for new revenue streams and network optimization.
(iii) Optical Security and Performance Products (“OSP”):
OSP provides innovative optical security solutions, with a strategic focus on serving the anti-counterfeiting market through advanced security pigments, thread substrates and printed features for the currency, pharmaceutical and consumer electronic segments. OSP also provides thin-film coating solutions for 3D sensing applications.
Changes to Segment Reporting
Following the Separation in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company made changes to its segment measures to reflect how the CODM manages the business post-separation as described below.
The CODM manages the Company in
two
broad business categories: Network and Service Enablement ("NSE") and OSP. NSE operates in
two
segments, NE and SE, whereas OSP operates as a single segment. The CODM evaluates segment performance of the NSE business based on NE and SE segment gross margin and NSE operating margin as a whole. Operating expenses associated with the NSE business are not allocated to the NE and SE segments within NSE, as they are managed centrally at the business unit level. The CODM evaluates segment performance of the OSP business based on OSP segment operating margin. In addition, prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2016 the Company did not allocate certain corporate-level operating expenses associated with its shared-service function to its segment results. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company has allocated these corporate-level operating expenses to its segment results, with the exception of certain non-core operating and non-operating activities as discussed below.
The Company does not allocate stock-based compensation, acquisition-related charges, amortization of intangibles, restructuring and related charges, impairment of goodwill, non-operating income and expenses, or other non-core operating and non-recurring charges to its segments because Management does not include this information in its measurement of the performance

|
of the operating segments. These items are presented as “Reconciling Items” in the table below. Additionally, the Company does not specifically identify and allocate all assets by operating segment.
As a result of the Separation, the Company excluded the results of the Lumentum business which historically consisted of the CCOP segment and the WaveReady product line within the NE segment for all periods presented. Refer to “
Note 3. Discontinued Operations
” for more information on the Separation. Additionally, the Company’s Video Assurance product line was moved out of its NE segment and into its SE segment during the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
The segment information for all periods presented has been revised to be comparable with the changes in the Company’s segment reporting measures.

$71.6 million
and a gross realized gain of
$48.9 million
, respectively.

(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for our Company to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 2, 2016, our CEO and CFO have concluded that due to the existence of a material weakness as discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the identified material weakness, our management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly represent in all material respects our Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(b) MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the
Internal Control-Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation under the framework in the
Internal Control-Integrated Framework
(2013), our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2016 because of a previously reported material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as reported in Item 4 on Form 10-Q/A for each of the interim periods ended October 3, 2015, January 2, 2016, and April 2, 2016 and as described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During the preparation of the Company’s fiscal 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. Specifically, the internal controls with respect to the determination of the interim income tax provision were not designed at a precision level to identify the use of an inaccurate tax rate. This control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the related account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. For the quarters ended October 3, 2015, January 2, 2016 and April 2, 2016, this control deficiency did result in misstatements of our income tax expense and income taxes payable.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 2, 2016 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 8.
(c) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(d) PLAN FOR REMEDIATION OF MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company will implement an enhanced process and design a control to ensure a more precise review of the interim income tax provision beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In accordance with the Company’s internal control over financial reporting compliance program, the material weakness designation cannot be remediated in full until the enhanced processes have been operational for a period of time and successfully tested. Such remediation is anticipated to be completed later in fiscal 2017.
