("Arlo" or the "Company") combines an intelligent cloud infrastructure and mobile app with a variety of smart connected devices that transform the way people experience the connected lifestyle. The Company's deep expertise in product design, wireless connectivity, cloud infrastructure and cutting-edge AI capabilities focuses on delivering a seamless, smart home experience for Arlo users that is easy to setup and interact with every day. The Company's cloud-based platform provides users with visibility, insight and a powerful means to help protect and connect in real-time with the people and things that matter most, from any location with a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection. The Company conducts business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”)—and primarily generates revenue by selling devices through retail channels, wholesale distribution, wireless carrier channels, security solution providers, and Arlo's direct to consumer store and paid subscription services.

The Company's corporate headquarters is located in Carlsbad, California with other satellite offices across North America and various other global locations.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All periods presented have been accounted for in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for fair statement of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for interim periods.

Fiscal periods

The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1 of the year stated and ends on December 31 of the same year. The Company reports its results on a fiscal quarter basis rather than on a calendar quarter basis. Under the fiscal quarter basis, each of the first three fiscal quarters ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter end, with the fourth quarter ending on December 31.

Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Use of estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and operating results for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any future period.

Note 2.    Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no significant changes during the nine months ended October 2, 2022.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Emerging Growth Company Status

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Company may, under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies, unless the Company otherwise irrevocably elects not to avail itself of this exemption. The Company did not make such an irrevocable election and has not delayed the adoption of any applicable accounting standards.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

The Company has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, and does not expect any to have a material effect on its financial statements and related disclosures.


Note 3.    Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue consists of advance payments and customer billings in advance of revenue recognition from subscription contracts where the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations. Advance payments include prepayments for Non-Recurring Engineering ("NRE") services under the Supply Agreement with Verisure S.à.r.l. (“Verisure”).

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period. Unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied performance obligations consist of contract liabilities, in-transit orders with destination terms, and non-cancellable backlog. Non-cancellable backlog includes goods and services for which customer purchase orders have been accepted and that are scheduled or in the process of being scheduled for shipment.

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of October 2, 2022:
1 year 2 years Greater than 2 years Total
(In thousands)
Performance obligations $ 18,957  $ 331  $ 19  $ 19,307 

The performance obligation classified as greater than one year pertains to revenue deferral from prepaid services.

For the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, $82.5 million and $64.2 million of revenue was deferred due to unsatisfied performance obligations, primarily relating to over time service revenue, and $101.2 million and $70.3 million of revenue was recognized for the satisfaction of performance obligations over time, respectively. Approximately $13.6 million and $19.9 million of this recognized revenue was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods. There were no significant changes in estimates during the period that would affect the contract balances.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company conducts business across three geographic regions: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue. Refer to Note 11, Segment and Geographic Information, for revenue by geography.

Note 4.    Balance Sheet Components

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted cash

Depreciation and amortization expense pertaining to property and equipment was $1.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, respectively, and $1.4 million and $4.5 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, respectively.

Long-lived Assets and Right-of-use Assets Impairment

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company evaluated its real estate lease portfolio in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the changing nature of office space use by its workforce. This evaluation included the decision to sublease its office space in San Jose, California. This change in the circumstances for the San Jose office space use led management to test the recoverability of the carrying amount of the asset group related to the sublease. At May 25, 2021, the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the Company's anticipated undiscounted value of the sublease income over the sublease term. Accordingly, the Company reviewed certain of its right-of-use assets and other lease related assets including leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment under the sublease asset group for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360 "Property, Plant, and Equipment".

As a result of the evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9.1 million, which includes $6.8 million associated with the right-of-use assets and $2.3 million associated with other lease related property and equipment assets, during the second quarter of 2021.The assets indicated as impaired were written down to fair value as calculated using a discounted cash flow method (income approach). The fair value of the asset group was determined by utilizing projected cash flows from the sublease, discounted by a risk-adjusted discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. The inputs utilized in the analyses were classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement". Refer to Note 5, Fair Value Measurements for additional information about the fair value measured on a non-recurring basis and Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for further information about the sublease.

Goodwill

There was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill during the nine months ended October 2, 2022. The goodwill as of October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $11.0 million.

ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Goodwill Impairment

The Company performs an annual assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter and during interim periods if there are triggering events to reassess goodwill. The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment.

The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances changed during the nine months ended October 2, 2022 that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. If there is a significant decline in the Company’s stock price based on market conditions and deterioration of the business, the Company may have to record a charge to its earnings for the goodwill impairment of up to $11.0 million.

_________________________
(1)Included in short-term investments on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s investments in cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.

As of October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, assets and liabilities measured as Level 2 fair value were not material and there were no Level 3 fair value assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis.

Fair Value Measurements - Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount the asset may not be recoverable. For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, the Company had no assets or liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis.

During the second quarter of 2021, in connection with the long-lived assets impairment analysis, certain lease related property and equipment assets and right-of-use assets were measured and written down to fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment. The fair value measurements were determined using a discounted cash flow method with unobservable inputs and were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the asset group was calculated by utilizing projected cash flows from the sublease, discounted by a market derived discount rate at 8.0%. Refer to Note 4, Balance Sheet Components, for further information about the impairment of the right-of-use assets and long-lived assets.

Note 6.    Revolving Credit Facility

On October 27, 2021, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association, as lender (the “Lender”).

The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on October 27, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are limited to the lesser of (x) $40.0 million, and (y) an amount equal to the borrowing base. The borrowing base will be the sum of (i) 90% of investment grade eligible receivables and (ii) 85% of non-investment grade eligible accounts, less applicable reserves established by the Lender. The Credit Agreement also includes a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance by the Lender of letters of credit. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company to request, from time to time, that the Lender increase the aggregate revolving loan commitments by up to an additional $25.0 million in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining the Lender’s agreement to participate in each increase. The proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

13


ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of its domestic working capital assets, including accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, inventory, and other assets to the extent related to such working capital assets.

At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a floating rate equal to: (i) the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate plus the applicable rate of 2.0% to 2.5% determined based on the average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter, or (ii) the base rate plus the applicable rate of 1.0% to 1.5% based on the average daily availability for the prior fiscal quarter. Among other fees, the Company is required to pay a monthly unused fee of 0.2% per annum on the amount by which the Lender’s aggregate commitment under the Credit Facility exceeds the average daily revolver usage during such month.

The Credit Agreement contains events of default, representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit facilities of this type. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants that require the Company to (a) until the Company achieves a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for two consecutive quarters, maintain minimum liquidity of not less than $20.0 million at all times and (b) thereafter, if the Financial Covenant Trigger Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is in effect, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, tested quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis, of at least 1.00 to 1.00 at any time. As of October 2, 2022, the Company is in compliance with all the covenants of the Credit Agreement.

If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs, then the Lender may cease making advances under the Credit Agreement and declare any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. In addition, if the Company files a bankruptcy petition, a bankruptcy petition is filed against the Company and is not dismissed or stayed within thirty days, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, then any outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement will automatically and without notice or demand become immediately due and payable.

No amounts had been drawn under the Credit Facility as of October 2, 2022.

Note 7.     Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company primarily leases office space, with various expiration dates through June 2029. Some of the leases include options to extend such leases for up to five years, and some include options to terminate such leases within one year. The terms of certain leases provide for rental payments on a graduated scale. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, accrued liabilities, and non-current operating lease liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

Purchase Obligations

The Company has entered into various inventory-related purchase agreements with suppliers. Generally, under these agreements, 50% of orders are cancelable by giving notice 46 to 60 days prior to the expected shipment date and 25% of orders are cancelable by giving notice 31 to 45 days prior to the expected shipment date. Orders are non-cancelable within 30 days prior to the expected shipment date. As of October 2, 2022, the Company had approximately $42.5 million in non-cancelable purchase commitments with suppliers.

As of October 2, 2022, a further $37.7 million of purchase orders beyond contractual termination periods have been issued to supply chain partners in anticipation of demand requirements. Consequently, the Company may incur expenses for materials and components, such as chipsets purchased by the supplier to fulfill the purchase order if the purchase order is cancelled.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

Securities Class Action Lawsuits and Derivative Suit

The Company is involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions, including, but not limited to, the matters described below. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. In such cases, the Company accrues for the amount or, if a range, the Company accrues the low end of the range, only if there is not a better estimate than any other amount within the range, as a component of legal expense within litigation reserves, net. The Company monitors developments in these legal matters that could affect the estimate the Company had previously accrued. In relation to such matters, the Company currently believes that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position within the next 12 months, or the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation, and these actions or other third-party claims against the Company may cause the Company to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. In addition, the resolution of any intellectual property litigation may require the Company to make royalty payments, which could have an adverse effect in future periods. If any of those events were to occur, the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from the Company's estimates, which could result in the need to adjust the liability and record additional expenses.

ARLO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
On March 2, 2022, the Company filed its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 which disclosed the status of certain securities class action lawsuits. In summary, on December 11, 2018, purported stockholders of Arlo Technologies, Inc. filed six putative securities class action complaints in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara (the "State Action"), and one complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the "Federal Action") against the Company and certain of its executives and directors. The plaintiffs in the State Action allege that the Company failed to adequately disclose quality control problems and adverse sales trends ahead of the Company's initial public offering (the "IPO"), violating the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief on behalf of investors who purchased Company common stock issued pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO. In the Federal Action, the court appointed a shareholder named Matis Nayman as lead plaintiff. Lead plaintiff alleged violations of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on alleged materially false and misleading statements about the Company’s sales trends and products. In the amended complaint, lead plaintiff sought to represent a class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s common stock (i) during the period between August 3, 2018 through December 3, 2018 and/or (ii) pursuant to or traceable to the IPO. Lead plaintiff sought class certification, an award of unspecified damages, an award of costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and other further relief as the court may deem just and proper.

On August 6, 2019, defendants filed a motion to dismiss. The federal court granted that motion, and lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. On June 12, 2020, lead plaintiff filed an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of a class action settlement for $1.25 million, which was also the amount that the Company had accrued for loss contingency. In October 2020, the Company made a $1.25 million payment to an escrow account administered by the court and plaintiff’s counsel (the “Settlement Fund”). The Settlement Fund was deemed to be in the custody of the court and remained subject to the jurisdiction of the court until such time as the Settlement Fund was distributed pursuant to the settlement agreement and/or further order of the court.

On February 5, 2021, lead plaintiff filed a motion for final approval of the settlement. In advance of the final approval hearing, three of the named plaintiffs in the State Action requested exclusion from the settlement. The court held a final approval hearing on March 11, 2021, and, on March 25, 2021, entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement and, among other things, dismissed with prejudice all claims of lead plaintiff and the Settlement Class (as defined in the settlement agreement). The Federal Action is now closed.

In the State Action, on May 5, 2021, the court held a status conference and instructed plaintiffs Perros, Patel, and Pham (“Plaintiffs”), who were the only Arlo stockholders to opt out of the federal settlement, to file an amended complaint by June 4, 2021. Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint, asserting their individual Securities Act claims, but also purporting to represent a new class of Arlo stockholders who purchased Arlo shares between December 3, 2018 and February 22, 2019. On June 21, 2021, the Arlo defendants filed a motion to dismiss the State Action (for forum non conveniens) based on the federal forum provision in Arlo’s certificate of incorporation. Plaintiffs opposed on July 28, 2021, and the Arlo defendants replied on August 13, 2021. On September 9, 2021, the court issued an order granting the Arlo defendants’ forum non conveniens motion, and on September 17, 2021, the court issued a final judgment dismissing the State Action in its entirety. On November 16, 2021, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal. The appeal is pending before the California Court of Appeal, Sixth Appellate District. Plaintiffs-Appellants filed their opening brief on May 20, 2022. Defendants-Respondents filed their responding brief on August 18, 2022, and Plaintiffs-Appellants filed their reply brief on September 7, 2022. The court has not yet set a date for oral argument.

Leonard R. Pinto v. Arlo Technologies, Inc., et al.

In addition to the State Action and the Federal Action, a purported stockholder named Leonard Pinto filed a tagalong derivative action on June 13, 2019 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, captioned Pinto v. Arlo Technologies, Inc. et al., No. 19-CV-03354 (the “Derivative Action”). The Derivative Action is brought on behalf of the Company against the majority of the Company’s current directors. The complaint is based on the same alleged misconduct as the securities class actions but asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate

assets, and violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On August 20, 2019, the court stayed the Derivative Action in deference to the Federal Action. On April 8, 2021, because it had granted final approval of the settlement in the Federal Action, the court lifted the stay in the Derivative Action and asked the parties to file a joint status report by April 22, 2021. In their status report, the parties stipulated to a schedule for plaintiff to file an amended complaint and for the parties to brief a motion to dismiss. Plaintiff filed his amended complaint on May 24, 2021. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on July 9, 2021. On August 23, 2021, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on December 17, 2021. Plaintiff filed his opposition on January 31, 2022, and defendants filed their reply on March 2, 2022. On July 28, 2022, the Court heard defendants’ motion to dismiss. At the hearing, the Court informed the parties that it was inclined to grant defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, and the Court’s corresponding written order dismissing the case followed on August 8, 2022.

Skybell Technologies, Inc. v. Arlo Technologies, Inc.

On December 18, 2020, Skybell Technologies, Inc., SB IP Holdings, LLC, and Eyetalk365, LLC (collectively, “Skybell”) filed a Section 337 complaint against the Company, Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and SimpliSafe, Inc. (collectively “Respondents”) at the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”). The action alleges that the Company’s cameras and video doorbell cameras infringe certain patents (the Asserted Patents").

On September 15, 2021, the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) hearing the case at the ITC issued an Initial Determination (“ID”) ruling that all the Asserted Patents are invalid.

Skybell appealed the ID by submitting its Petition for Review to the ITC on September 27, 2021, and the Respondents submitted their Response to the Petition to Review on October 4, 2021. On November 10, 2021, The ITC affirmed the ALJ’s ruling and did not grant any review of the ID, meaning that there is no trial on the ITC docket since there are no valid patents remaining, and the case is concluded at the ITC level. On January 9, 2022, Skybell filed its Notice of Appeal to the Federal Circuit to appeal the ITC’s rulings invalidating the Asserted Patents. On June 23, 2022, Skybell and the Respondents stipulated to the dismissal of the Skybell’s appeal, and on June 27, 2022, the Federal Circuit correspondingly dismissed the appeal. There was no material financial impact to the Company resulting from this litigation matter.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, distributors, resellers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising from breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and certain of its executive officers that require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. As of October 2, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and is not currently aware of any indemnification claims.

Note 9.     Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 was $0.3 million and $0.7 million, or an effective tax rate of (2.2)% and (2.2)%, respectively. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021 was $0.2 million and $0.5 million, or an effective tax rate of (1.2)% and (1.1)%, respectively. During the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, the Company sustained U.S. book losses. Consistent with the prior year, the Company maintained a valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and did not record a tax benefit on these deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company's provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to income taxes on foreign earnings. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 was slightly higher than the same periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in foreign earnings.

Note 10.     Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares, such as common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards are typically reflected in the computation of diluted net loss per share by application of the treasury stock method. For certain periods presented, due to the net losses reported, these potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Net loss per share for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021 were as follows:

Our cloud-based platform provides users with visibility, insight and a powerful means to help protect and connect in real-time with the people and things that matter most, from any location with a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection. Since the launch of our first product in December 2014, we have shipped over 26.3 million smart connected devices, and as of October 2, 2022, the Arlo platform had approximately 6.9 million cumulative registered accounts across more than 100 countries around the world.

We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”)—and we primarily generate revenue by selling devices through retail, wholesale distribution, wireless carrier channels, security solution providers, Arlo’s direct to consumer store and paid subscription services. International revenue was 44.6% and 33.0% of our revenue for the three months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively, and 46.3% and 34.7% of our revenue for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively.

For the three months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, we generated revenue of $128.2 million and $111.1 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 15.3%. For the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, we generated revenue of $371.9 million and $292.3 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 27.2%. Loss from operations were $14.4 million and $15.6 million for the three months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively. Loss from operations were $34.5 million and $52.9 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively.

On November 4, 2019, we concurrently entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement” and together with the Purchase Agreement, the “Verisure Agreements”) with Verisure S.à.r.l. ("Verisure"). Under the Supply Agreement, Verisure became the exclusive distributor of our products in Europe for all channels, and non-exclusively distributes our products through its direct channels globally for an initial term of five years.

Our goal is to continue to develop innovative, world-class connected lifestyle solutions to expand and further monetize our current and future user and paid account bases. We believe that the growth of our business is dependent on many factors, including our ability to innovate and launch successful new products on a timely basis and grow our installed base, to increase subscription-based recurring revenue, to invest in brand awareness and channel partnerships and to continue our global expansion. We expect to increase our investment in research and development going forward as we continue to introduce new and innovative products and services to enhance the Arlo platform and compete for engineering talent. We also expect to significantly increase our Sales and Marketing expense as we invest in new campaigns to increase awareness of and preference for the Arlo brand.

Key Business Metrics

In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we use the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, develop financial forecasts and make strategic decisions. We believe these key business metrics provide useful information by offering the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our on-going operating results and a better understanding of how management plans and measures our underlying business. Our key business metrics may be calculated in a manner different from the same key business metrics used by other companies. We regularly review our processes for calculating these metrics, and from time to time we may discover inaccuracies in our metrics or make adjustments to better reflect our business or to improve their accuracy, including adjustments that may result in the recalculation of our historical metrics. We believe that any such inaccuracies or adjustments are immaterial unless otherwise stated.

Cumulative registered accounts 6,930  19.0  % 5,822 
Cumulative paid accounts 1,673  90.8  % 877 
Annual recurring revenue $ 125,402  56.0  % $ 80,400 

Cumulative Registered Accounts. We believe that our ability to increase our user base is an indicator of our market penetration and growth of our business as we continue to expand and innovate our Arlo platform. We define our registered accounts at the end of a particular period as the number of unique registered accounts on the Arlo platform as of the end of such period. The number of registered accounts does not necessarily reflect the number of end-users on the Arlo platform as one registered account may be used by multiple end-users to monitor the devices attached to that household.

Cumulative Paid Accounts. Paid accounts are defined as any account worldwide where a subscription to a paid service is being collected (either by us or by our customers or channel partners, including Verisure), plus paid service plans of a duration of more than three months bundled with products (such bundles being counted as a paid account after 90 days have elapsed from the date of registration).

Annual Recurring Revenue ("ARR"). Effective as of the quarter ended October 3, 2021, we have adopted ARR as one of the key indicators of our business performance. We believe ARR enables measurement of our business initiatives, and serves as an indicator of our future growth. ARR represents the amount of paid service revenue that we expect to recur annually and is calculated by taking our recurring paid service revenue for the last calendar month in the fiscal quarter, multiplied by 12 months. Recurring paid service revenue represents the revenue we recognize from our paid accounts and excludes prepaid service revenue and Non-Recurring Engineering ("NRE") service revenue from strategic partners. The ARR for the comparative period presented was derived following the same methodology. ARR is a performance metric and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue, and is not intended to be a substitute for, or combined with, any of these items.

Impact of COVID-19, Global Geopolitical, Economic and Business Conditions

During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, we remained focused on navigating COVID-19 related challenges, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, inflation, lower consumer confidence and rising interest rates by preserving our liquidity and managing our cash flow by taking preemptive action to enhance our ability to meet our short-term liquidity needs. These actions include, but are not limited to, proactively managing working capital by closely monitoring customers' credit and collections, renegotiating payment terms with third-party manufacturers and key suppliers, closely monitoring inventory levels and purchases against forecasted demand, reducing or eliminating non-essential spending, subleasing excess office space, and deferring hiring. We continue to monitor this rapidly developing situation and may, as necessary, reduce expenditures further, borrow under our revolving credit facility, or pursue other sources of capital that may include other forms of external financing in order to maintain our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in response to the uncertainty in the United States and global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, inflation, lower consumer confidence and rising interest rates.

Revenue

Our gross revenue consists primarily of sales of devices, prepaid and paid subscription service revenue and NRE service revenue. We generally recognize revenue from product sales at the time the product is shipped and transfer of control from us to the customer occurs. Upon device shipment, we attribute a portion of the sales price as prepaid service, deferring this revenue at the outset and subsequently recognizing it ratably over the estimated useful economic life of the device or free trial period, as applicable. Our paid subscription services relate to sales of subscription plans to our registered accounts. Our services also include certain development services provided to strategic partners under NRE arrangements.

Our revenue consists of gross revenue, less end-user customer rebates and other channel sales incentives, allowances for estimated sales returns, price protection, and net changes in deferred revenue. A significant portion of our marketing expenditure is with customers and is deemed to be a reduction of revenue under authoritative guidance for revenue recognition.

Under the Supply Agreement, Verisure became the exclusive distributor of our products in Europe for all channels, and will non-exclusively distribute our products through its direct channels globally for an initial term of five years. During the five-year period commencing January 1, 2020, Verisure has an aggregate product purchase commitment of $500.0 million. As of October 2, 2022, $304.3 million of the purchase commitment has been fulfilled. The Supply Agreement also provided for certain NRE services, including developing certain custom products specified by Verisure in exchange for an aggregate of $13.5 million, which Verisure fully paid in 2021. For the three months ended October 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, we recognized service revenue of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for these NRE services.

We conduct business across three geographic regions: the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. We generally base revenue by geography on the ship-to location of the customer for device sales and device location for service sales.

Total revenue $ 128,157  15.3  % $ 111,149  $ 371,887  27.2  % $ 292,276 

Revenue for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 increased 15.3% and 27.2%, compared to the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to higher product sales mainly the increase in volume and service revenue. Product revenue increased by $8.6 million, or 10.2% and $56.5 million, or 26.0% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 compared to the prior year periods, respectively, primarily driven by an increase in product shipments in EMEA due to stronger customer demand and the launch of a customized camera in the Verisure Security channel, partially offset by a decrease in product sales in the Americas and APAC. The increase for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 was also partially offset by higher provisions for sales returns and sales incentives in the Americas that are deemed to be reductions of revenue. Service revenue increased by $8.4 million, or 31.3% and $23.1 million, or 30.8% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 compared to the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to an increase in paid accounts, partially offset by a decrease in Verisure NRE revenue recognition.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of both product costs and costs of service. Product costs primarily consist of: the cost of finished products from our third-party manufacturers and overhead costs, including personnel expense for operation staff, purchasing, product planning, inventory control, warehousing and distribution logistics, third-party software licensing fees, inbound freight, IT and facilities overhead, warranty costs associated with returned goods, write-downs for excess and obsolete inventory and excess components, and royalties to third parties. Cost of service consists of costs attributable to the provision and maintenance of our cloud-based platform, including personnel, storage, security and computing, IT and facilities overhead as well as NRE service costs incurred under NRE arrangements.

Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue can vary based upon a number of factors, including those that may affect our revenue set forth above and factors that may affect our cost of revenue, including, without limitation: product mix, sales channel mix, registered accounts' acceptance of paid subscription service offerings, and changes in our cost of goods sold due to fluctuations in prices paid for components, net of vendor rebates, cloud platform costs, warranty and overhead costs, inbound freight and duty product conversion costs, and charges for excess or obsolete inventory. We outsource our manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution logistics. We also outsource certain components of the required infrastructure to support our cloud-based back-end IT infrastructure. We believe this outsourcing strategy allows
28
`
us to better manage our product and service costs and gross margin and allows us to adapt to changing market dynamics and supply chain constraints.

Total cost of revenue $ 91,407  5.3  % $ 86,806  $ 267,822  24.0  % $ 215,957 

Cost of product revenue increased 4.9% and 26.6% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 compared to the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to increases in gross shipments plus increases in costs of materials and components of our products mainly as the result of inflation. The cost of product revenue increase for the three months ended October 2, 2022 was partially offset by a decrease in freight cost from the prior year period as a result of COVID-19 related supply chain disruption. Cost of service revenue increased 8.1% and 8.8% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 compared to the prior year periods, respectively, as a result of service revenue growth, offset by cost optimizations.

Gross profit increased 51.0% and 36.4% for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, compared to the prior year periods, respectively, due to a combination of both product and service revenue increases. The product gross profit increase for the three months ended October 2, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in product shipments and lower provisions for sales returns that are deemed to be reductions of revenue, partially offset by higher product costs. The product gross profit increase for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in product shipments, partially offset by higher product costs and higher provisions of sales returns and marketing expenditures that are deemed to be reductions of revenue. The service gross profit increase is primarily due to growth in paid service revenue due to an increase in paid accounts and cost optimizations implemented.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development 

Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense, safety, security, regulatory services and testing, other research and development consulting fees, and corporate IT and facilities overhead. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. We have invested in and expanded our research and development organization to enhance our ability to introduce innovative products and services. We expect research and development expense to increase in absolute dollars as we develop new product and service offerings and compete for engineering talent. We believe that innovation and technological leadership are critical to our future success, and we are committed to continuing a significant level of research and development to develop new technologies, products, and services, including our hardware devices, cloud-based software, AI-based algorithms, and machine learning capabilities. Research and development expense directly attributable to delivering the Verisure NRE is recognized in cost of service.

Research and development expense increased by $2.1 million for the three months ended October 2, 2022, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases of $1.2 million in outside professional services for the development of Arlo Safe and the Arlo Security System which will be released in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $1.1 million in personnel-related expenses mainly due to the increase in headcount, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in IT and facility overhead. Research and development expense increased $4.8 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2022, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increases of $2.9 million in outside professional services for the development of Arlo Safe and the Arlo Security System which will be released in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $1.4 million in personnel-related expenses mainly due to the increase in headcount, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in IT and facility overhead and other expenses.

Sales and Marketing
 
Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel expense for sales and marketing staff; technical support expense; advertising; trade shows; corporate communications and other marketing expense; product marketing expense; IT and facilities overhead; outbound freight costs; and credit card processing fees. We expect our sales and marketing expense to significantly increase in the future as we invest in marketing to drive awareness of our brand and drive demand for our products and services.

`
expenses, and $1.1 million in credit card processing fees, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in outside professional services.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel-related expense for certain executives, finance and accounting, investor relations, human resources, legal, information technology, professional fees, corporate IT and facilities overhead, strategic initiative expense and other general corporate expense. We expect our general and administrative expense to fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue in future periods based on fluctuations in our revenue and the timing of such expense.

Interest Income (Expense) and Other Income, Net

Our interest income (expense) was primarily earned from our short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents. We expect our interest income in absolute dollars to marginally increase as interest rates are expected to increase, while we deploy our short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents to fund our operations.

Other income, net primarily represents miscellaneous income and expense, which includes reimbursements under the Verisure Transition Service Agreement ("Verisure TSA") and the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") for qualified wages.

Other income, net decreased $0.6 million for the three months ended October 2, 2022, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to decreases of $0.2 million in ERC under the CARES Act and $0.5 million in Verisure TSA related income. Other income, net decreased $3.9 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2022, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to decreases of $2.0 million in ERC under the CARES Act and $2.0 million in Verisure TSA related income.

Our provision for income taxes was primarily attributable to income taxes on foreign earnings. The increase in provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to higher foreign earnings. Consistent with the prior year, we maintained a valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets and did not record a tax benefit on these deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have a history of losses and may continue to incur operating and net losses for the foreseeable future. As of October 2, 2022, our accumulated deficit was $323.3 million.

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Short-term investments are marketable government securities with an original maturity or a remaining maturity at the time of purchase of greater than three months and no more than 12 months. The marketable securities are held in our name with a high quality financial institution, which acts as our custodian and investment manager.

On October 27, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. for a $40.0 million three-year revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 6. Revolving Credit Facility for further information about the terms and structure of the credit facility.

Material Cash Requirements

Based on our current plans, the Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A, and market conditions, we believe that such sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Leases and Contractual Commitments

Our operating lease obligations mostly include offices, equipment, data centers, and distribution centers. Our contractual commitments are primarily inventory-related purchase obligations with suppliers.

Contingencies

We are involved in disputes, litigation, and other legal actions. We evaluate whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of loss. In such cases, we accrue for the amount or, if a range, we accrue the low end of the range, only if there is not a better estimate than any other amount within the range, as a component of legal expense within litigation reserves, net.

Refer to Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies, in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information

We have no commitments to obtain such additional financing and cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available at all or, if available, that such financing would be obtainable on terms favorable to us and would not be dilutive. Our future liquidity and cash requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the introduction of new products, the growth in our service revenue, as well as the ability to increase our gross margin dollars and continue to maintain controls over our operating expenditures.

Cash Flow

The following table presents our cash flows for the periods presented:

Nine Months Ended
October 2,
2022		 October 3,
2021
(In thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities $ (34,783) $ (32,656)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities (45,578) 18,062 
Net cash used in financing activities (14,594) (5,535)
Net cash decrease $ (94,955) $ (20,129)

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $2.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This increase comprised an increase in working capital used in operations of $14.0 million, offset by a $11.8 million reduction in net loss adjusted for non-cash items. The increase in working capital used in operations was mainly driven by higher inventory purchases as a result of the seasonal restocking in anticipation of the holiday consumer purchasing pattern coupled with our internal objective to maintain more appropriate inventory levels to support consumer demand in the fourth quarter of 2022 and early 2023.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $63.6 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to purchases of short-term investments.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $9.1 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in tax withholding from restricted stock unit releases and the decrease in proceeds from exercises of stock options.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a complete description of what we believe to be the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended October 2, 2022, other than as discussed in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

During the nine months ended October 2, 2022, there were no material changes to our market risk disclosures as set forth in Part II Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were, in design and operation, effective at the reasonable assurance level. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within an organization have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended October 2, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance, and not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals in all future circumstances.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

The information set forth under the heading “Litigation and Other Legal Matters” in Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, in Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is incorporated herein by reference. For additional discussion of certain risks associated with legal proceedings, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our stock, can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including those described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors.” When any one or more of these risks materialize from time to time, our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our stock, can be materially and adversely affected. Below are changes to our risk factors included in our Annual Report From 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Global geopolitical, economic and business conditions could materially adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

Our business has been, and may continue to be, affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including but not limited to general geopolitical, economic and business conditions, conditions in the financial markets, and changes in the overall demand for connected lifestyle products. Our products and services may be considered discretionary items for our consumer and small business end-users. A severe and/or prolonged economic downturn, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, inflation, supply chain disruptions, rising interest rates, or lower consumer confidence, among other things, could adversely affect our customers’ financial condition and their levels of business activity. As a result of stimulus programs put in place over the past two years, the U.S. and many countries are currently experiencing an inflationary environment. In addition, the U.S. Federal Reserve has raised, and may again raise, interest rates in response to concerns about inflation, which in turn has negatively impacted equity values. The U.S. capital markets experienced and continue to experience extreme volatility and disruption following the global outbreak of COVID-19, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and inflationary pressures. Weakness in, and uncertainty about, global economic conditions may also cause businesses to postpone spending in response to tighter credit, rising interest rates, inflation, lower consumer confidence, negative financial news and/or general declines in income or asset values, which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products and services.

In the recent past, various regions worldwide have experienced slow economic growth. In addition, current economic challenges in China may continue to put negative pressure on global economic conditions. If conditions in the global economy, including in Europe, China, Australia and the United States, or other key vertical or geographic markets deteriorate, such conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. If we are unable to successfully anticipate changing economic and political conditions, we may be unable to effectively plan for and respond to those changes, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, the economic problems affecting the financial markets and the uncertainty in global economic conditions resulted in a number of adverse effects, including a low level of liquidity in many financial markets, extreme volatility in credit, equity, currency, and fixed income markets, instability in the stock market, and high unemployment.

In addition, the challenges faced by the European Union to stabilize some of its member state economies, such as Greece, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, and Italy, have had international implications, affecting the stability of global financial markets and hindering economies worldwide. Many member states in the European Union have been addressing the issues with controversial austerity measures. In addition, the potential consequences of the “Brexit” process in the United Kingdom have led to significant uncertainty in the region. Should the European Union monetary policy measures be insufficient to restore confidence and stability to the financial markets, or should the United Kingdom’s “Brexit” decision
36
`
lead to additional economic or political instability, the global economy, including the U.S. and European Union economies where we have a significant presence, could be hindered, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. There could also be a number of other follow-on effects from these economic developments on our business, including the inability of customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, customer insolvencies, decreased customer confidence to make purchasing decisions, decreased customer demand, and decreased customer ability to pay their trade obligations.

In addition, availability of our products from third-party manufacturers and our ability to distribute our products into non-U.S. jurisdictions may be impacted by factors such as ongoing supply chain disruptions, an increase in duties, tariffs, or other restrictions on trade; raw material shortages, work stoppages, strikes and political unrest; economic crises and international disputes or conflicts; changes in leadership and the political climate in countries from which we import products. Further, the imposition of and changes in the U.S.' and other governments' duties, trade regulations, trade wars, tariffs, other restrictions or other geopolitical events, including the evolving relations between U.S. and China and evolving relations with Russia due to the current hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, create uncertainty regarding our ability to market and distribute our products into non-U.S. jurisdictions and any failure to effectively anticipate or respond to such events could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

A portion of our global and U.S. sales are comprised of goods assembled and manufactured in our facilities in Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China, and components for a number of our goods are sourced from suppliers in the People’s Republic of China. When tariffs, duties, or other restrictions are placed on goods imported into the United States from China or any related counter-measures are taken by China, our revenue and results of operations may be materially harmed.

In recent years, the U.S. Government has imposed increases to the ad valorem duties applicable to certain products imported from China, including increases of up to 25% for some items. We are actively addressing the risks related to these additional duties, which have affected, or have the potential to affect, at least some of our imports from China. Although we have already taken some steps to mitigate these risks, including by moving a significant portion of our manufacturing and assembly to Vietnam and other areas in the Asia Pacific region outside of China, if these duties are imposed, the cost of our products may increase. These duties may also make our products more expensive for consumers, which may reduce consumer demand. We may need to offset the financial impact by, among other things, moving even more of our product manufacturing to other locations, modifying other business practices or raising prices. If we are not successful in offsetting the impact of any such duties, our revenue, gross margins, and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Instability in geographies where we have operations and personnel or where we derive amounts of revenue could have a material adverse effect on our business, customers, operations and financial results.

Economic, civil, military and political uncertainty exists and may increase in regions where we operate and derive our revenue. Various countries in which we operate are experiencing and may continue to experience military action and civil and political unrest. We have operations in the emerging market economies of Eastern Europe, previously including operations in Belarus, utilizing employees and contractors who perform services relating to new product releases. In late February 2022, Russian military forces launched significant military action against Ukraine. Sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. The impact to Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, as well as actions taken by other countries, including new and stricter export controls and sanctions by Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the U.S. and other countries and organizations against officials, individuals, regions, and industries in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, and each country’s potential response to such sanctions, tensions and military actions, could have a material adverse effect on our product development timelines and increase our research and development expenditure. Material adverse effects from the conflict and enhanced sanctions activity has caused us to transition our operations out of Belarus to other countries. We are actively monitoring the security of our remaining employees and contractors in Eastern Europe and the stability of our infrastructure, including communications and internet availability. To date we have not experienced any material interruptions in our operations there, but if we are unable to effectively replicate the capabilities previously provided by our Belarusian operations in other countries, our ability to timely introduce new products and financial results may be harmed.
