Item 1. Financial Statements

 

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

The financial information included herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods.

Product and Service Revenue

The Company sells its products and services into two primary end markets: telecommunications infrastructure and medical imaging. Sales into the telecommunications infrastructure market spans both of the Company’s operating segments while sales of products into the medical imaging market are associated predominantly with one customer in the Company’s Hardware-Solutions segment. The Company sells its products and services directly to service providers, through channel partners where its products are part of a larger integrated solution, and directly to original equipment and design manufacturers.

Product revenue includes the sale of software, integrated systems, stand-alone hardware and post-sale royalties tied to end-user product deployments. The Company’s products are sold both on a stand-alone basis and bundled with certain other products and services from time to time. Software and hardware products are generally sold for a one-time fee with incremental sales of related products to the same customer tied to expansion needs.

Service revenue is predominantly comprised of professional services and maintenance and support services. Professional services are generally associated with the development and implementation of customer-specific feature requirements on the Company’s products. Maintenance and support services are associated with post-sale product updates, upgrades and enhancements as well as general technical support. The Company’s customers generally enter into annual or semi-annual agreements for maintenance and support services.

Multiple Performance Obligations

The Company's contracts with customers often include commitments to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. When hardware, software and services are sold in various combinations, judgment is required to determine whether each performance obligation is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with other performance obligations.

In instances where the software elements included within hardware for various products are considered to be functioning together with non-software elements to provide the tangible product's essential functionality, these arrangements are accounted for as a single distinct performance obligation.

Judgment is required to determine the stand-alone selling price (SSP) for each distinct performance obligation. When available, Radisys uses observable inputs to determine SSP. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, it determines the SSP based on a cost plus model as market or other observable inputs are seldom present based on the proprietary nature of our products.

The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, the Company may use information such as the size of the customer or level of service provided in determining the SSP.  

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Hardware

Hardware revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control to the customer, typically at the time the product is shipped to the customer. The Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties, based on historical experience at the time the Company recognizes revenue.

Software licenses and royalties

The Company recognizes software license revenue at the time of delivery. The Company defers revenue on arrangements, including specified software upgrades, until the specified upgrade has been delivered. Revenue from customers for prepaid, non-refundable software royalties is recorded when the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Revenue for non-prepaid royalties is recognized at the time the Company is able to estimate the revenue that has been earned in the current period.

Maintenance and support services

Maintenance and support services revenue is recognized as earned on the straight-line basis over the term of the contract.

Professional and other services

Professional services revenue is recognized as services are provided. Other services revenues include hardware repair services and custom software implementation projects, with these services recognized upon delivery to customers.

Revenue from distributors

Revenue associated with distributors is recognized upon shipment. Based on historical activity and contractual rights estimated effects of returns and allowances provided to distributors are considered insignificant. The Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties, based on historical experience at the time the Company recognizes revenue.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue represents amounts received or billed for the following types of transactions:

Cost of sales associated with deferred revenue is also deferred. These deferred costs are recognized when the associated revenue is recognized.

Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

We apply the practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs include our internal sales force compensation program and certain partner sales incentive programs as we have determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities. Costs incurred to obtain a contract in excess of one year are insignificant.

Backlog

The Company does not capitalize internal software development costs incurred in the production of computer software as the Company does not incur any material costs between the point of technological feasibility and general release of the product to customers in the future. As such software development costs are expensed as research and development (“R&D”) costs.

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs consist primarily of media, display, web, and print advertising, along with trade show costs and product demos and brochures.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

As part of the debt financing completed on January 3, 2018 and amendments completed on June 29.29, 2018, the Company is required to maintain a restricted cash balance of $4.0 million that will secure both the obligations under the Notes and the ABL Facility.

Trade accounts receivable are stated at invoice amount net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly for reasonableness and adequacy. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable may be required. In the event the Company determined that a smaller or larger reserve was appropriate, it would record a credit or a charge in the period in which such determination is made. In addition to specific customer reserves, the Company maintains a non-specific bad debt reserve for all customers. This non-specific bad debt reserve is calculated based on the Company's historical pattern of bad debt write-offs as a percentage of gross accounts receivable for the current rolling eight quarters, which percentage is then applied to the current gross accounts receivable. The Company’s customers are concentrated in the technology industry and the collection of its accounts receivable are directly associated with the operational results of the industry.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, or net realizable value, net of an inventory valuation allowance. The Company uses a standard cost methodology to determine the cost basis for its inventories. The Company evaluates inventory on a quarterly basis for obsolete or slow-moving items to ascertain if the recorded allowance is reasonable and adequate. Inventory is written down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. The Company's inventory valuation allowances establish a new cost basis for inventory.

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-life intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the impairment of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flow the assets are expected to generate compared to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying amount of the assets is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Management estimates future cash flows using assumptions about expected future operating performance. Management’s estimates of future cash flows may differ from actual cash flow due to, among other things, technological changes, economic conditions or changes to the Company’s business operations.

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated life and reviewed for impairment when certain triggering events suggest impairment has occurred. The Company did not identify a triggering event during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 to suggest an impairment has occurred.

Property and equipment is recorded at historical cost and is depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis according to the table below. In certain circumstances where the Company is aware that an asset’s life differs from the general guidelines set forth in its policy, management adjusts its depreciable life accordingly, to ensure expense is being recognized over the appropriate future periods. Ordinary maintenance and repair expenses are expensed when incurred.

The Company leases all of its facilities, certain office equipment and vehicles under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through 2022,2023, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. Rent escalations are considered in the determination of straight-line rent expense for operating leases. Leasehold improvements made at the inception of or during the lease are amortized over the shorter of the asset life or the lease term.

The Company has engaged, and may continue to engage, in restructuring and other actions, which require the Company to make significant estimates in several areas including: realizable values of assets made redundant or obsolete; expenses for severance and other employee separation costs; the ability and timing to generate sublease income, as well as the Company's ability to terminate lease obligations at the amounts estimated; and other costs. Should the actual amounts differ from the estimates, the amount of the restructuring and other charges could be materially impacted.

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Products are generally sold with warranty coverage for a period of 12 or 24 months after shipment. On a quarterly basis the Company assesses the reasonableness and adequacy of the warranty liability and adjusts such amounts as necessary. Warranty reserves are included in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Research, development and engineering ("R&D")&D costs are expensed as incurred. R&D expenses consist primarily of salary, bonuses and benefits for product development staff, and cost of design and development supplies and equipment, net of reimbursements for non-recurring engineering services.

The Company reports accumulated other comprehensive loss in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Comprehensive loss includes net loss, translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on hedging instruments net of their tax effect. The cumulative translation adjustments consist of unrealized gains (losses) for foreign currency translation.

The Company measures stock-based compensation at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognizes expense on a straight-line basis over the employee's requisite service period. For performance-based restricted stock unit awards ("PRSUs"), the requisite service period is equal to the period of time over which performance objectives underlying the award are expected to be achieved and vested. The number of shares that ultimately vest depends on the achievement of certain performance criteria over the measurement period. For non-market performance-based restricted stock, quarterly, we reevaluate the period during which the performance objective will be met and the number of shares expected to vest. The amount of quarterly expense recorded each period is based on our estimate of the number of awards that will ultimately vest.

In reaching our determination of expected volatility, we use the historic volatility of our shares of common stock. We base the expected term of our stock options on historic experience. The expected term for purchase rights under our employee stock plans is based on the 18 month offering period. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option or share.

Basic loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share incorporates the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options, Warrants granted underin connection with the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below), and the incremental shares associated with the assumed vesting of restricted stock.

The Company hedges exposure to changes in exchange rates from the U.S. Dollar to the Indian Rupee. These derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Unrealized gain positions are recorded as other current assets and unrealized loss positions are recorded as other accrued liabilities. Changes in the fair values of the outstanding derivatives that are highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive loss until net income (loss) is affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged transaction. Hedge ineffectiveness could result when the amount of the Company’s hedge contracts exceed the Company’s forecasted or actual transactions for which the hedge contracts were designed to hedge. Once a hedge contract matures the associated gain (loss) on the contract will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying hedged transaction affects net income (loss), at which time the gain (loss) will be recorded to the expense line item being hedged, which is primarily cost of sales, research and development and selling, general and administrative. The Company only enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge foreign currency exposure. If the Company entered into a contract for speculative reasons or if the Company’s current hedge position becomes ineffective, changes in the fair values of the derivatives would be recognized in earnings in the current period.

Assets and liabilities of international operations using a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the average daily rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are recorded as a separate component in shareholders’ equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in other expense, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), which requires that restricted cash and cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and a retrospective transition method is required. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 using the retrospective approach. The Company has not historically had restricted cash resulting in no impact to previously reported periods. This new guidance did not impact the Company’s financial results but did result in a change in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents within the statement of cash flows.

The new guidance, which includes several amendments, replaces most of the prior revenue recognition guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company adopted the new guidance as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, as applied to all contracts. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition.

Due to the immaterial nature from the impact on the timing of revenue recognition based on the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance, an adjustment to the balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 was not required. The comparative information for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, including disclosures, has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and has not yet determined its impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company measures at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

The following tables summarize the fair value measurements as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 for the Company's financial instruments (in thousands):

Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value using models based on observable market inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Accounts receivable consists of sales to the Company's customers which are generally based on standard terms and conditions. Accounts receivable balances consisted of the following (in thousands):

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

Consigned inventory is held at third-party locations, which include the Company's contract manufacturing partners and customers. The Company retains title to the inventory until purchased by the third-party.

The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring and other charges as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company recorded the following restructuring charges:

Accrued restructuring, which is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Company evaluates the adequacy of the accrued restructuring charges on a quarterly basis. Reversals are recorded in the period in which the Company determines that expected restructuring obligations are less than the amounts accrued.

The components of the Company’s Note Purchase Agreement for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 are as follows:

Adverse Purchase Commitments

The adverse purchase commitment liability is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and was $1.2$0.7 million and $3.3 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company's business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to the Company's current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or the Company's subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is generally limited. Historically, the Company's costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal.

Accrued Warranty

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Products are generally sold with warranty coverage for a period of 12 or 24 months after shipment. Parts and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. The workmanship of the Company’s products produced by the contract manufacturer is covered under warranties provided by the contract manufacturer for 12 to 24 months. The warranty provision is based on historical experience by product family. The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its components suppliers; however ongoing failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failure, as well as specific product class failures out of the Company’s baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

The following is a summary of the change in the Company's accrued warranty reserve (in thousands):

A reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The ending balance for the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was approximately $4.6$4.8 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2018. The related interest and penalties were $1.1 million and $0.2 million. The uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, that are reasonably possible to decrease in the next twelve months are approximately $0.2$0.3 million.

Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, the Company made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts in its financial statements as of December 31, 2017. As the Company collects and prepares necessary data and interpretinterprets the 2017 Tax Act and any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and other standard-setting bodies, the Company may make adjustments to the provisional amounts. Those adjustments may materially affect the Company’s provision for income taxes and effective tax rate in the period in which the adjustments are made. The accounting for the tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act will be completed later in 2018.

The following table summarizes awards granted under the Radisys Corporation 2007 Stock Plan (in thousands):

Stock-based compensation was recognized and allocated as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s business activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company manages these risks through the use of forward exchange contracts, designated as foreign-currency cash flow hedges, in an attempt to reduce the potentially adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that occur in the normal course of business. As such, the Company’s hedging activities are employed solely for risk management purposes. All hedging transactions are conducted with, in the opinion of management, financially stable and reputable financial institutions. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the only hedge instruments executed by the Company are associated with its exposure to fluctuations in the Indian Rupee, which result from obligations such as payroll and rent paid in this currency.

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 the Company did not enter into any new foreign currency forward contracts. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 the Company entered into 6 and 1218 new foreign currency forward contracts, with total contractual values of $3.3$3.6 million and $6.9$10.5 million.

The following table summarizes the effect of derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated financial statements as a loss (gain) as follows (in thousands):

The following is a summary of changes to comprehensive income (loss) associated with the Company's hedging activities (in thousands):

Over the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify into earnings a loss of approximately $0.4$0.2 million currently recorded as accumulated other comprehensive loss, as a result of the maturity of currently held forward exchange contracts.

The bank counterparties in these contracts expose the Company to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, the Company only contracts with counterparties who meet its minimum requirements regarding counterparty credit worthiness. In addition, the Company monitors credit ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades prior to entering into any new hedging contracts.

Revenues by geographic area were as follows (in thousands):

On June 29, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Reliance Industries Limited, a company organized and existing under the laws of India (“Reliance”), and Integrated Cloud Orchestration (ICO), Inc., an Oregon corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub will be merged with and into Radisys (the “Merger”), with Radisys surviving and continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance, and, (ii) at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Radisys, no par value (“Common Stock”), (other than Common Stock owned by Reliance, Merger Sub or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Reliance or Radisys or held in the treasury of Radisys, all of which shall be canceled without any consideration being exchanged therefor) will be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to $1.72 per share in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). The closing of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which was approved on September 5, 2018, (ii) the receipt of specified required regulatory approvals, and the suitable form of approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, (iii) the absence of any law or order enjoining or prohibiting the Merger or making it illegal, (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (generally subject to a “material adverse effect” qualification) and (v) compliance with covenants in the Merger Agreement in all material respects. The closing of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition. The Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018.

As disclosed in our 2017 annual report, changes to our strategy in late 2017 specifically tied to our hardware-centric DCEngine product line led to material year-on-year revenue declines through the first half of 2018. These strategy changes led us to drive material cost-reductionscost-reduction actions across our business, which actions were largely completed by the end of the first quarter of 2018. In the secondthird quarter of 2018, we experienced an increasing share of our revenues from our higher margin Software-Systems business given growth from both existing and new customers which was offset by continued declines in our Hardware Solutions revenue.

 

The following is a summary-level comparison of the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2018 and 2017:
