NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of RigNet, Inc. (the Company or RigNet) include all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and Rule10-01 of RegulationS-X. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty. Estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information becomes available and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from estimates. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, ~~2017.~~2018.

Significant Accounting Policies

Please refer to RigNet’s Annual Report on Form10-K for fiscal year ~~2016~~2017 for information regarding the Company’s accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition—Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Revenue Recognition—Managed Services and Applications andInternet-of-Things

Managed Services and Applications andInternet-of-Things customers are primarily served under fixed-price contracts, either on a monthly or day rate basis or for equipment sales and consulting services. Our contracts are generally in the form of Master Service Agreements, or MSAs, with specific services being provided under individual service orders that have a term of up to three years with renewal options for offshore locations that are generally longer-term contracts with few cancellation provisions, while land-based locations are generally shorter term or terminable on short notice without a penalty. Service orders are executed under the MSA for individual remote sites or groups of sites, and generally permit early termination on short notice without penalty in the event of force majeure, breach of the MSA or cold stacking of a drilling rig (when a rig is taken out of service and is expected to be idle for a protracted period of time).

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time—The delivery of service represents the single performance obligation under Managed Services and Applications andInternet-of-Things contracts. Revenue for contracts is generally recognized over time as service is transferred to the customer and the Company expects to be entitled to the agreed monthly or day rate in exchange for those services.

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time—The delivery of equipment represents the single performance obligation under equipment sale contracts. Revenue for equipment sales is generally recognized upon delivery of equipment to customers.

Revenue Recognition – Systems Integration

Revenues related to long-term, fixed-price Systems Integration contracts for customized network solutions are recognized based on the percentage of completion for the contract. At any point, RigNet has numerous contracts in progress, all of which are at various stages of completion. Accounting for revenues and profits on long-term contracts requires estimates of total estimated contract costs and estimates of progress toward completion to determine the extent of revenue and profit recognition.

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time— The delivery of a Systems Integration solution represents the single performance obligation under Systems Integration contracts. Progress towards completion on fixed-price contracts is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated contract costs (thecost-to-cost method). These estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available or as specific project circumstances change.

The Company reviews all material contracts on a monthly basis and revises the estimates as appropriate for developments such as providing services, purchasing third-party materials and equipment at costs differing from those previously estimated, and incurring or expecting to incur schedule issues. Changes in estimated final contract revenues and costs can either increase or decrease the final estimated contract profit or loss. Profits are recorded in the period in which a change in estimate is recognized, based on progress achieved through the period of change. Anticipated losses on contracts are recorded in full in the period in which they become evident. Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed is classified as a current asset under Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Systems Integration contracts are billed in accordance with the terms of the contract which are typically either based on milestones or specified time intervals. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amount of Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts related to Systems Integration projects was $4.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Under long-term contracts, amounts recorded in Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts may not be realized or paid, respectively, within aone-year period. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized to date are classified as a current liability, under deferred revenue. All of the billings in excess of costs as of December 31, 2017 were recognized as revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Variable Consideration – Systems Integration — The Company records revenue on contracts relating to certain probable claims and unapproved change orders by including in revenue an amount less than or equal to the amount of costs incurred to date relating to these probable claims and unapproved change orders, thus recognizing no profit until such time as claims are finalized or change orders are approved. The amount of unapproved change orders and claim revenues is included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as part of Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. No material unapproved change orders or claims revenue was included in Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. As new facts become known, an adjustment to the estimated recovery is made and reflected in the current period.

Backlog—As of September 30, 2018, we have backlog for our percentage of completion projects of $41.4 million, which will be recognized over the remaining contract term for each contract. Percentage of completion contract terms are typically one to three years.

Note 2 – Business Combinations

Auto-Comm and SAFCON

On April 18, 2018, RigNet completed the separate acquisitions of Automation Communications Engineering Corp. (Auto-Comm) and Safety Controls, Inc. (SAFCON) for an aggregate purchase price of $6.7 million. Of this aggregate purchase price RigNet paid $2.2 million in cash and $4.1 million in stock in April 2018. In September 2018, the Company paid $0.3 million in cash for a working capital adjustment.

Auto-Comm provides a broad range of communications services, for both onshore and offshore remote locations, to the oil and gas industry.

SAFCON offers a diverse set of safety, security, and maintenance services to the oil and gas industry. Auto-Comm and SAFCON have developed strong relationships with major energy companies that complement the relationships that RigNet has established over the years. Auto-Comm and SAFCON are based in Louisiana.

The assets and liabilities of Auto-Comm and SAFCON have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill. The Company’s allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the amounts related to the identifiable intangible assets and effects of income taxes resulting from the transaction, are still being finalized.

The goodwill of $1.0 million arising from the acquisitions consists largely of growth prospects, synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of the Company and Auto-Comm and SAFCON, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as assembled workforce in place at the date of acquisition. The goodwill recognized is expected to be nondeductible for income tax purposes.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RigNet incurred $0.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs, which are reported as general and administrative expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Additional costs related to these acquisitions will be incurred and recorded as expense during the remainder of 2017.

~~TECNOR~~

On February 4, 2016, RigNet completed its acquisition of Orgtec S.A.P.I. de C.V., d.b.a. TECNOR (TECNOR) for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $11.4 million. Of this aggregate purchase price, RigNet paid $4.8 million in cash in February 2016, paid $0.1 million for final net working capital and expected to pay a $6.5 million contingent consideration~~earn-out,~~ ~~estimated as of the date of acquisition. The initial estimate of theearn-out~~ ~~payable was preliminary and remains subject to change based on the achievement of certain post-closing performance targets under the acquisition agreement. The maximumearn-out~~ is $21.3 million. TECNOR provides telecommunications solutions for remote sites on land, sea and air, including a wide array of equipment, voice and data services, satellite coverage and bandwidth options in Mexico. These services are provided to industrial, commercial and private users in diverse activity segments including mission critical military and government applications, oil and gas operations, commercial fishing and leisure. TECNOR is based in Monterrey, Mexico.

The assets and liabilities of TECNOR have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.

~~Theearn-out~~ for TECNOR is measured at fair value, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss in each reporting period. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of the~~earn-out~~ ~~was $5.2 million. There was a $0.8 million reduction in fair value to the TECNORearn-out~~ for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 recorded as a reduction of other current liabilities and a decrease to general and administrative expense in the Corporate segment. The change in fair value was due to a forecast of TECNOR’s future achievement of the post-closing performance targets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the TECNOR~~earn-out~~ ~~liability of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, with corresponding increases to other current liabilities. Theearn-out~~ ~~is payable in 2018.~~

The goodwill of $6.5 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of growth prospects, synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining the operations of the Company and TECNOR, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, such as assembled workforce in place at the date of acquisition. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition of TECNOR, including goodwill, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and is reflected in the Managed Services segment.

Note 3 – Business and Credit Concentrations

The Company is exposed to various business and credit risks including interest rate, foreign currency, credit and liquidity risks.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has significant interest-bearing liabilities at variable interest rates which generally price monthly. The Company’s variable borrowing rates are tied to LIBOR resulting in interest rate risk (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt). The Company presently does not use financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk, but evaluates this on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company has exposure to foreign currency risk, as a portion of the Company’s activities are conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Currently, the Norwegian ~~kroner~~Kroner, the British Pound Sterling and the ~~British pound sterling~~Brazilian Real are the currencies that could materially impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company presently does not hedge these risks, but evaluates financial risk on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary. Foreign currency translations are reported as accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit Risk

Credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is due to the limited number of customers concentrated in the oil and gas, ~~industry.~~maritime, pipeline, engineering and construction industries. The Company mitigates the risk of financial loss from defaults through defined collection terms in each contract or service agreement and periodic evaluations of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts which is adjusted when the Company becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations or as a result of changes in the overall aging of accounts receivable.

Liquidity Risk

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with major financial institutions which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company monitors the financial condition of the financial institutions and has not experienced losses associated with these accounts during ~~2017~~2018 or ~~2016.~~2017. Liquidity risk is managed by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities (see Note 6 – Long-Term Debt).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 4 – Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill

Goodwill resulted from prior acquisitions as the consideration paid for the acquired businesses exceeded the fair value of acquired identifiable net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually with additional evaluations being performed when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.

Due to the change in segments (see Note 12 – Segment Information) and reporting units during the third quarter of 2017, the Companyre-allocated goodwill to each reporting unit based on relative fair value.

The Company acquired ~~$8.6~~$1.0 million of goodwill in the Systems Integration segment from the Auto-Comm and SAFCON acquisitions completed on April 18, 2018 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company acquired $10.7 million of goodwill in the Apps & IoT segment from the Intelie acquisition completed on March 23, 2018 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company acquired $8.5 million of goodwill in the Apps & IoT segment from the ESS acquisition completed on July 28, 2017 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company acquired ~~$0.6~~$0.7 million of goodwill in the Managed Services segment from the DTS acquisition completed on July 24, 2017 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

The Company acquired $4.6 million of goodwill in the Apps & IoT segment from the Cyphre acquisition completed on May 18, 2017 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).

~~NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~The Company acquired $6.5 million of goodwill in the TECNOR acquisition completed on February 4, 2016 (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).~~

The Company performs its annual impairment test onas of July 31^stof each year, with the most recent annual test being performed as of July 31, ~~2017. The~~2018. As of July ~~2017 annual test resulted in no impairment as~~31, 2018, the fair values of the Company’s reporting units are in excess of their carrying values.

Managed Services had $22.9 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2018, and fair value ~~of each reporting unit~~ exceeded ~~the~~ carrying value ~~plus~~by 34.7% as of the July 31, 2018 annual impairment test. Apps & IoT had $22.4 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2018, and fair value exceeded carrying value by 48.1% as of the July 31, 2018 annual impairment test. Systems Integration had $1.0 million of goodwill as of September 30, 2018, and fair value exceeded carrying value by 126.5% as of the July 31, 2018 annual impairment test. Any future downturn in our business could adversely impact the key assumptions in our impairment test. While we believe that ~~reporting unit.~~ there appears to be no indication of current or future impairment, historical operating results may not be indicative of future operating results and events and circumstances may occur causing a triggering event in a period as short as three months.

No impairment indicators have been identified in any reporting unit as of September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

As of September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, goodwill was ~~$37.1~~$46.3 million and ~~$22.0~~$37.1 million, respectively. Goodwill increases or decreases in value due to the effect of foreign currency translation, and increases with acquisitions.

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of customer relationships,~~non-competes,~~ brand name, backlog, technology ~~backlog~~ and licenses acquired as part of the Company’s acquisitions. Intangibles also includeinternal-use software. The Company’s intangibles have useful lives ranging from ~~1.7~~5.0 to 7.0 years and are amortized on a straight-line basis. Impairment testing is performed when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.

In June 2016, the Company identified a triggering event for a license in Kazakhstan associated with a decline in cash flow projections. In June 2016, the Company conducted an intangibles impairment test and as a result of such test, recognized a $0.4 million impairment of licenses in the Corporate segment, which was the full amount of the Company’s intangibles within Kazakhstan.

No impairment indicators have been identified in any reporting unit as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2018.

As of September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, intangibles were ~~$32.3~~$34.5 million and ~~$16.0~~$30.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, the Company recognized amortization expense of ~~$1.9~~$2.6 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.9 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, the Company recognized amortization expense of $7.2 million and $4.7 million, ~~and $3.9 million,~~ respectively.

Note 7 – Fair Value Disclosures

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

•

Cash and Cash Equivalents— Reported amounts approximate fair value based on quoted market prices (Level 1).

•

Restricted Cash— Reported amounts approximate fair value.

•

Accounts Receivable— Reported amounts, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets.

•

Accounts Payable, Including Income Taxes Payable and Accrued Expenses— Reported amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

•

Long-Term Debt— The carrying amount of the Company’s floating-rate debt approximates fair value since the interest rates paid are based on short-term maturities and recent quoted rates from financial institutions. The estimated fair value of debt was calculated based upon observable (Level 2) inputs regarding interest rates available to the Company at the end of each respective period.

~~NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

The Company’snon-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangibles and property, plant and equipment, are measured at fair value, based on level 3 inputs, when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized.

Additionally, the Company has agreed to pay the sellers of TECNOR up to $1.0 million in either cash or RigNet stock payable in 2019 for the collection of certain accounts receivable balances. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value for the agreement to collect certain accounts receivable was $0.8 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the TECNORearn-out liability of $0.1 million with corresponding increases to other liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the TECNORearn-out liability of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, ~~respectively, with corresponding increases to other liabilities. (see Note 2 – Business Combinations).~~respectively.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was (12.6%) and 0.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (22.2%) and (11.5%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, ~~respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate was (59.5%) and (54.7%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,~~ respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate is affected by factors including changes in valuation allowances, fluctuations in income across jurisdictions with varying tax rates, and changes in income tax reserves, including related penalties and interest.

The Company has computed the provision for taxes for the current and comparative periods using the actualyear-to-date effective tax rate. The Company’s financial projections for those periods did not provide the level of detail necessary to calculate a forecasted effective tax rate.

In October 2018, the Company has received an IRS notice informing us of an audit of the Company’s 2016 income tax return. It is unclear if the audit and the appeals process, if necessary, will be completed within the next twelve months. The Company is in the early stages of the audit and is unable to quantify any potential settlement or outcome of the audit at this time.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a decrease of up to ~~$3.2~~$3.3 million in unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest and penalties, may be necessary within the coming year due to lapse in statute of limitations.

On December 22, 2017 the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (The Tax Act), making broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code.

The SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.

The Company has completed the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act. As noted in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2018, the Company was able to make reasonable estimates and recorded provisional adjustments. The Company has now completed the adjustments which are recorded as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reduction of US Federal Corporate Tax Rate: In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a provisional decrease of $8.2 million to deferred tax expense related to the US federal corporate tax rate reduction. The Company will not make any additional measurement-period adjustments and considers this item complete.

Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax: In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a provisional Transition Tax obligation of $3.8 million, which was fully offset by current losses and foreign tax credits. On August 1, 2018 the Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued proposed regulations which provide additional guidance on the provisions of the Transition Tax under Section 965, including the election not to apply net operating loss deductions against the Transition Tax. The Company elected to apply foreign tax credits against the Transition Tax rather than current year operating losses. The final Transition Tax obligation of $4.0 million is fully offset by foreign tax credits. The Company considers this item complete.

Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI):In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company was not able to reasonably estimate the effects for GILTI. Therefore, no provisional adjustment was recorded. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the period cost method) or (2) factoring such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the deferred method). The Company’s selection of an accounting policy related to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing its global income to determine whether it expects to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. The Company has elected to treat any future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the period cost method). The Company considers this item complete.

As stated previously, the Company has finalized its evaluation of the U.S. Tax Act and deems it complete.

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the Company granted a total of ~~226,974 restricted stock units (RSUs)~~439,150 stock-based awards to certain directors, officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan). Of these, the Company granted (i) ~~125,852 RSUs~~144,005 restricted stock units (RSUs) to certain officers and employees that generally vest over a four year period of continued employment, with 25% of the RSUs vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, (ii) ~~33,586~~11,188 RSUs ~~issued~~ to certain officers and employees that generally vest over a two year period of continued employment, with 50% of the RSUs vesting on each of the first two anniversaries of the grant date, (iii) 48,179 RSUs to outside directors that vest in ~~May 2018~~2019, (iv) 157,442 unrestricted stock grants to certain officers and ~~(iii) 67,536~~employees that vested immediately and (v) 78,336 performance share units (PSUs) to certain officers and employees that generally cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and are subject to continued employment and certain performance based targets. The ultimate number of PSUs issued is based on a multiple determined by certain ~~performance based~~performance-based targets.

The fair value of ~~restricted stock units~~RSUs and PSUs is determined based on the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the award. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire ~~award.~~award, net of forfeitures.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017, 126,788~~2018, the Company also granted 59,703 stock options with an exercise price of $13.50 to certain officers and employees of the Company under the 2010 Plan. Options granted have a contractual term of ten years and vest over a four year period of continued employment, with 25% of the options vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, which uses certain assumptions as of the date of grant. The assumptions used for the stock option grants made during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2018
Expected volatility		48	%
Expected term (in years)		7
Risk-free interest rate		2.8	%
Dividend yield		—

Based on these assumptions, the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $7.14 per option.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 79,579 RSUs and ~~28,445~~44,749 stock options were forfeited.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 ~~and 2016~~ was ~~$1.0~~$1.1 million and ~~$0.9~~$1.0 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 ~~and 2016~~ was ~~$2.9~~$4.4 million and ~~$2.7~~$2.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, there was ~~$8.3~~$3.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, RSUs and restricted stock expected to vest. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

~~NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

Note 10 – Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) are computed by dividing loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of basic shares outstanding. Basic shares equal the total of the common shares outstanding, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. Basic shares exclude the dilutive effect of common shares that could potentially be issued due to the exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock and RSUs. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the number of diluted shares outstanding. Diluted shares equal the total of the basic shares outstanding and all potentially issuable shares, other than antidilutive shares, if any, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect. In periods when a net loss is reported, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported, basic and dilutive loss per share are the same.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, there were approximately ~~723,296~~932,048 and ~~644,858~~620,666 potentially issuable shares, respectively, excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS that were excluded because the Company incurred a loss in the period and to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2016,~~2017, there were approximately ~~1,919,696~~723,296 and ~~1,228,397~~644,858 potentially issuable shares, respectively, excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS that were excluded because the Company incurred a loss in the period and to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

Legal Proceedings

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Global Xpress (GX) Dispute

Inmarsat plc (Inmarsat), a satellite telecommunications company, and the Company are in a dispute relating to a January 2014 agreement regarding the purchase by the Company of up to $65.0 million, under certain conditions, of GX capacity from Inmarsat over several years (GX dispute). ~~The parties are attempting to resolve~~Inmarsat initiated arbitration regarding the GX dispute ~~through a contractually-stipulated arbitration process that began~~ in October 2016. The parties dispute whether Inmarsat has met its contractual obligations with respect to the service under the agreement. In July 2017, pursuant to its contractual rights under the agreement, the Company delivered a notice of termination of the agreement to Inmarsat. In addition, the Company has filed certain counterclaims against Inmarsat. The parties have agreed to divide the arbitration into two phases, with the first phase to decide if RigNet’s purchase obligation ever commenced and the second phase to address RigNet’s counterclaims against Inmarsat. The parties attended an arbitration hearing on the first phase in June 2018 and are currently awaiting the decision of the arbitration panel.

The Company has incurred legal expenses of ~~$0.8~~$2.1 million in connection with the GX dispute for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The Company may continue to incur significant legal fees, related expenses and management time in the future. The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the GX dispute, the total costs to be incurred or the potential impact on personnel.

Based on the information available at this time and management’s understanding of the GX dispute, the Company does not deem the likelihood of a material loss related to this dispute to be probable, so it has not accrued any liability related to the dispute. At this stage of the arbitration, the range of possible loss is not reasonably estimable, but could range from zero to the maximum amount payable under the contract for the services plus expenses.

Our Operations

We are a global technology company that provides customized communications services, applications, real-time machine learning, and cybersecurity solutions ~~enhancing~~to enhance customer ~~decision making~~decision-making and business performance. We ~~provide solutions ranging from fully-managed voice~~deliver a digital transformation bundle that accelerates technology adoption and ~~data networks~~empowers customers to ~~more advanced applications that include video conferencing, asset~~be always connected, always secure, and ~~weather monitoring, real-time data services and cybersecurity under a multi-service recurring revenue model.~~always learning.

Customers use our private networks to manage information flows and execute mission-critical operations primarily in remote areas where conventional telecommunications infrastructure is either unreliable or unavailable. We provide our clients what is often the sole means of communications for their remote operations.

~~Network service~~Managed Service and Applications andInternet-of-Things customers are primarily served under fixed-price contracts, either on a monthly or day rate basis or for equipment sales. Our contracts are generally in the form of Master Service Agreements, or MSAs, with specific services being provided under individual service orders that have a term of ~~one~~up to three years with renewal options for offshore contracts that are generally longer-term contracts with few cancellation provisions, while land-based locations are generally shorter term or terminable on short notice without a penalty. Service orders are executed under the MSA for individual remote sites or groups of sites, and generally ~~may be terminated~~permit early termination on short notice without penalty in the event of force majeure, breach of the MSA or cold stacking of a drilling rig (when a rig is taken out of service and is expected to be idle for a protracted period of time). Systems Integration customers are served primarily under fixed-price, long-term contracts.

We previously operated our business under two reportable segments: Managed Services and Systems Integration (previously called SI&A). During the third quarter of 2017, after we completed the ESS acquisition, we reorganized our business and reportable segments. Applications and~~Internet-of-Things~~ is now managed and presented as a separate segment, and was previously presented in the Managed Services segment. All historical segment financial data included herein has been recast to conform to the current year presentation. We now operate three reportable segments, which are managed as distinct segments by our chief operating decision-maker.

•

Managed Services.Our Managed Services segment provides remote communications, telephony and technology services for offshore and onshore drilling rigs and production facilities, support vessels, and other remote sites.

•

Applications andInternet-of-Things (Apps & IoT).Our Apps & IoT segment provides applicationsover-the-top of the Managed Services including Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) provided primarily for pipelines and Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings including BlackTIE^® encryption, weather monitoring primarily in the North Sea (METOCEAN), real-time predictive analytics (Intelie Pipes^TM and Intelie LIVE) and certain other ~~value added~~value-added services such as Adaptive Video Intelligence (AVI).

•

Systems Integration.Our Systems Integration segment provides design and implementation services for customer telecommunications systems. Solutions are delivered based on the customer’s specifications, adhering to international industry standards and best practices. Project services may include consulting, design, engineering, project management, procurement, testing, installation, commissioning and maintenance.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of satellite charges, voice and data termination costs, network operations expenses, internet connectivity fees, equipment purchases for Systems Integration projects and direct service labor. Satellite charges consist of the costs associated with obtaining satellite bandwidth (the measure of capacity) used in the transmission of service to and from leased satellites. Direct service labor consists of field technicians, our Network Operations Center (NOC) employees, and other employees who directly provide services to customers. Network operations expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the operation of our NOC, which is maintained 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Depreciation and amortization is recognized on all property, plant and equipment either installed at a customer’s site or held at our corporate and regional offices, as well as intangibles arising from acquisitions and internal use software. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and commissions, travel costs and marketing communications. General and administrative expenses consist of expenses associated with our management, finance, contract, support and administrative functions.

Profitability generally increases or decreases at a managed services site as we add or lose customers and value-added services. Assumptions used in developing the rates for a site may not cover cost variances from inherent uncertainties or unforeseen obstacles, including both physical conditions and unexpected problems encountered with third party service providers.

Recent Developments

Known Trends and Uncertainties

Operating Matters

Uncertainties in the oil and gas industry may continue to impact our profitability. The fundamentals of the oil and gas industry we serve remain challenged into ~~2017,~~2018, particularly offshore. Oil prices declined significantly throughout 2015 and into 2016 from the highs inmid-year 2014 due to lower-than-expected global oil demand growth, increased supply from U.S. unconventional sources and increased production from several international countries. Although oil prices and U.S. ~~onshore~~ drilling rig counts have increased in 2017 and 2018 since their 2016 lows, the oil and gas environment continues to be challenged with operators focusing on projects with shorter ~~term, land-based projects~~pay-back periods that generally require less capital ~~investment.~~investment and lower costs from service providers and drilling contractors. The offshore drilling contracting environment remains challenged, with major offshore drilling contractors having experienced significant pressure on day rates, which in turn may have a negative impact on the rates we are able to charge customers. The price of Brent crude, a key indicator of activity for the oil and gas industry has increased throughout 2018 and has averaged $72.74 per barrel through the nine months ending September 30, 2018. As a result, drilling contractors are expecting gradual demand recovery. Generally, a prolonged lower oil price environment decreases exploration and development drilling investment, utilization of drilling rigs and the activity of the global oil and gas industry that we serve. Several global exploration and production companies reduced their capital spending budgets, including the cancellation or deferral of existing programs, and are expected to continue operating under reduced budgets in the current commodity price environment.

For the periods referenced below, we were ~~billing on~~serving the following managed service sites listed in the table below:

(2)	Includes U.S. ~~onshore drilling~~ and ~~production~~International land sites, completion sites,man-camps, remote offices, and supply bases and offshore-related supply bases, shore offices, tender rigs and platform rigs

In addition, uncertainties that could impact our profitability include service responsiveness to remote locations, communication network complexities, political and economic instability in certain regions, cyber-attacks, export restrictions, licenses and other trade barriers. These uncertainties may result in the delay of service initiation, which may negatively impact our results of operations. Additional uncertainties that could impact our operating cash flows include the availability and cost of satellite bandwidth, timing of collecting our receivables, and our ability to increase our contracted services through sales and marketing efforts while leveraging the contracted satellite and other communication service costs.

Sales Tax Audit

We ~~are undergoing~~have received a routine sales tax audit innotice from a state where we have ~~operations for~~operations. Per the ~~period from August~~notice, the audit can cover up to a four-year period. We are in the early stages of ~~2011 to May of 2015.

We~~ do not ~~believe that~~have any estimates of further exposure, if any, for the ~~outcome of the audit will result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.~~tax years under review.

Global Xpress (GX) Dispute

We and Inmarsat are in a dispute ~~with Inmarsat~~ relating to a January 2014 ~~take or pay~~ agreement toregarding the purchase of up to $65.0 million, under certain conditions, of GX capacity from Inmarsat over several years. ~~We are attempting to resolve~~Inmarsat initiated arbitration regarding the GX dispute ~~through a contractually-stipulated arbitration process that began~~ in October 2016. The parties dispute whether Inmarsat has met its contractual obligations with respect to the service under the agreement. In July 2017, pursuant to our contractual rights under the agreement, we delivered a notice of termination of the agreement to Inmarsat. In addition, we have filed certain counterclaims against Inmarsat. The parties have agreed to divide the arbitration into two phases, with the first phase to decide if our purchase obligation ever commenced and the second phase to address our counterclaims against Inmarsat. The parties attended an arbitration hearing on the first phase in June 2018 and are currently awaiting the decision of the arbitration panel.

We have incurred legal expenses of ~~$0.8~~$2.1 million in connection with the GX dispute for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. We may continue to incur significant legal fees, related expenses and management time in the future. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the GX dispute, the total costs to be incurred or the potential impact on personnel.

Based on the information available at this time and our understanding of the GX dispute, we do not deem the likelihood of a material loss related to this dispute to be probable, so we have not accrued any liability related to the dispute. At this stage of the arbitration, the range of possible loss is not reasonably estimable, but could range from zero to the maximum amount payable under the contract for the services plus expenses.

Three Months Ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017

Revenue.Revenue increased by ~~$0.2~~$13.9 million, or ~~0.5%~~27.4%, to $64.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $50.8 million for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017 from $50.6~~2017. Revenue increased in all segments. The 2018 acquisitions of Auto-Comm, SAFCON and Intelie contributed revenue of $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was driven by increased revenues in the Apps & IoT and Systems Integration segments, partially offset by lower revenue in the Managed Services segment. The Apps & IoT segment increased $3.4 million, or 221.2%, due to our growth strategy which focuses on growth into the application layer and IoT space including the acquisition of ESS, which contributed $1.3 million.2018. The Systems Integration segment increased ~~$2.2~~$6.7 million, or ~~64.8%~~120.2%, primarily due to $5.1 million from the ~~timing~~acquisition of Auto-Comm and SAFCON, and increased activity against a growing backlog of Systems Integration projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we had working capital, including cash and cash equivalents, of ~~$44.8~~$55.8 million.

Based on our current expectations, we believe our liquidity and capital resources will be sufficient for the conduct of our business and operations for the foreseeable future. We may also use a portion of our available cash to finance growth through the acquisition of, or investment in, businesses, products, services or technologies complementary to our current business, through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or otherwise, or to pay down outstanding debt.

During the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand and availability under our credit facility. In forecasting our cash flows we have considered factors including contracted services related to long-term deepwater drilling programs, U.S. land rig count trends, projected oil and natural gas prices, and contracted and available satellite bandwidth.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and expansion plans, we may elect to pursue additional expansion opportunities within the next year which could require additional financing, ~~either~~which may include debt or ~~equity.~~equity offerings.

Beyond the next twelve months, we expect our principal sources of liquidity to be cash flows provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on hand, availability under our credit facility and additional financing activities we may pursue, which may include debt or equity offerings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 91.4% and ~~2016,~~ 90.2% ~~and 84.6%~~ of our revenue was denominated in U.S. dollars, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017 compared to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.~~2017. The decrease in cash ~~provided by~~from operating activities during ~~2017~~2018 of ~~$1.9~~$19.5 million was primarily due to ~~decreased~~the timing of collecting receivables coupled with increased operating ~~activity.~~loss.

Our cash provided by operations is subject to many variables ~~the most significant of which is~~including the volatility of the oil and gas industry and ~~therefore,~~ the demand for our services. Other factors impacting operating cash flows include the availability and cost of satellite bandwidth, as well as the timing of collecting our receivables. Our future cash flow from operations will depend on our ability to increase our contracted services through our sales and marketing efforts while leveraging our contracted satellite and other communication service costs.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included $16.8 million in proceeds from borrowings and $3.8 million in principal payments on our long-term debt. Additionally, we paid the $8.0 million TECNOR earnout in July 2018, of which $6.4 million is in cash flows from financing activities and $1.6 million is in cash flows from operating activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million ~~and $8.1 million~~ for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2017 and 2016, respectively.~~2017. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 included $16.7 million in principal payments on our long-term debt partially offset by draws of $15.0 million on our ~~revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement

~~As of September 30, 2017, the Company has~~We have a ~~$60.0~~$15.0 million term loan facility (Term Loan) and ~~a $75.0~~an $85.0 million ~~Revolving Credit Facility~~revolving credit facility (RCF), which includes a ~~$15~~$25.0 million sublimit for the issuance of commercial and standby letters of ~~credit.~~credit and performance bonds.

~~The~~Both the Term Loan ~~bears~~and RCF bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from ~~1.5%~~1.75% to ~~2.5%~~2.75%, based on a consolidated leverage ratio ~~of funded debt to Consolidated EBITDA, anon-GAAP~~ ~~financial measure~~ defined in the credit agreement. Interest is payable monthly ~~along with quarterly~~and principal installments of ~~$2.1~~$1.25 million under the Term Loan are due quarterly, with the balance due ~~October 2018.~~ November 6, 2020.

The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 4.9% and ~~2016 was~~ 3.2% ~~and 2.5%~~, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 4.7% and ~~2016 was~~ 3.1% ~~and 2.4%~~, respectively, with an interest rate of ~~3.2%~~5.0% at September 30, ~~2017.

~~The RCF matures in October 2018 with any outstanding borrowings then payable. Borrowings under~~$11.3 million, excluding the ~~RCF carry an interest rate~~impact of ~~LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.5% to 2.5%, which varies as a function of the Company’s leverage ratio.~~unamortized deferred financing costs. As of September 30, ~~2017, $32.0~~2018, $60.2 million in draws on the ~~facility~~RCF remain outstanding. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 3.2% and 2.5%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 3.1% and 2.4%, respectively, with an interest rate of 3.2% at September 30, 2017.

~~As of September 30, 2017, there were $6.3 million in standby letters of credit issued, which reduces our availability under the RCF.~~

~~In February 2016, we amended our~~The credit agreement ~~with the most significant changes being the definition of Consolidated EBITDA, the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio~~contains certain covenants and ~~the timing associated with delivery of financial statements and compliance certificates to the administrative agent.~~

In December 2016, we amended our credit agreement with the most significant changes being voluntarily reducing RCF from $125 million to $75 million and changing the definition of Consolidated EBITDA and certain other definitions contained in the credit agreement.

~~Our credit agreement imposes certain~~ restrictions, including ~~limitations on our ability to obtain additional debt financing and on our~~restricting the payment of cash ~~dividends. It also requires us to maintain~~dividends when under default and maintaining certain financial covenants such as a ~~funded debt to Consolidated EBITDA~~consolidated leverage ratio, defined in the credit agreement, of less than or equal to ~~2.5~~2.75 to 1.0 and a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.0. AtIf any default occurs related to these covenants that was not cured or waived, the unpaid principal and any accrued interest can be declared immediately due and payable. The facilities under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all our assets. As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants.

~~On November 6, 2017, we entered into~~ We will continue to monitor our ~~third amended~~covenant compliance and ~~restated credit agreement,~~intend to adjust our capital strategy, as needed. However, our ability to maintain compliance with these covenants is also dependent on our future financial performance and market conditions, which provides for a $15.0 million term loan facility and an $85.0 million revolving credit facility that matures on November 6, 2020 with interest payable monthly at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin rangingmay vary from ~~1.75% to 2.75% based on a consolidated leverage ratio and principal payments of $1.25 million due quarterly beginning March 31, 2018.~~current expectations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in anyoff-balance sheet arrangements.

Non-GAAP ~~Measures~~Measure

Adjusted EBITDA ~~and Unlevered Free Cash Flow~~ should not be considered as ~~alternatives~~an alternative to net loss, operating income (loss), basic or diluted ~~earnings~~loss per share or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA ~~and Unlevered Free Cash Flow~~ may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA ~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow~~ or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA ~~and Unlevered Free Cash Flow~~ to eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. We encourage you to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Net loss is the most comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss plus interest expense (benefit), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment, ~~foreign exchange impact of intercompany financing activities,~~ (gain) loss on ~~retirement~~sales of property, plant and equipment, net of retirements, change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, ~~merger and~~ acquisition costs, executive departure costs, restructuring charges andnon-recurring items.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

Investors and securities analysts use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies, and we understand our investor and analyst’s presentations include Adjusted EBITDA;

By comparing our Adjusted EBITDA in different periods, our investors may evaluate our operating results without the additional variations caused by items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year; and

Adjusted EBITDA is an integral component of Consolidated EBITDA, as defined and used in the financial covenant ratios in the credit agreement.

Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

To indicate profit contribution;

For planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and as a key element of annual incentive programs;

To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; and

In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or other contractual commitments;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect foreign exchange impact of intercompany financing activities;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect (gain) loss on retirement of property, plant and equipment;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the ~~stock based~~stock-based compensation component of employee compensation;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect acquisition costs;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect executive departure costs;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect restructuring charges;

Although depreciation and amortization arenon-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We define Unlevered Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures. We believe Unlevered Free Cash Flow is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance for the following reasons:

Investors and securities analysts use Unlevered Free Cash Flow as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies, and we understand our investor and analyst’s presentations include Unlevered Free Cash Flow; and

By comparing our Unlevered Free Cash Flow in different periods, our investors may evaluate our operating results without the additional variations caused by items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance and which are not necessarily comparable from year to year.

Although Unlevered Free Cash Flow is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Unlevered Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect interest expense;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and equipment;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect foreign exchange impact of intercompany financing activities;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect (gain) loss on retirement of property, plant and equipment;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect acquisition costs;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent consideration;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect executive departure costs;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect restructuring charges;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect depreciation and amortization;~~

~~Unlevered Free Cash Flow does not reflect the stock based compensation component of employee compensation; and~~

~~Other companies in our industry may calculate Unlevered Free Cash Flow or similarly titled measures differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.~~

The following table presents a reconciliation of our net loss to Adjusted ~~EBITDA and Unlevered Free Cash Flow.~~EBITDA.

Item 3.Quantitative and Q~~ualitative~~Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are subject to a variety of risks, including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to foreign operations and certain purchases from foreign vendors. In the normal course of business, we assess these risks and have established policies and procedures to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency values.

Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations is to reduce the impact of adverse fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with foreign currency exchange rates. We presently do not hedge these risks, but

evaluate financial risk on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 8.6% and ~~2016,~~ 9.8% ~~and 15.4%~~, respectively, of our revenues were earned innon-U.S. currencies. At September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, we had no significant outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable interest rate long-term debt. We presently do not hedge these risks, but evaluate financial risk on a regular basis and may utilize financial instruments in the future if deemed necessary. The following analysis reflects the annual impacts of potential changes in our interest rate to net loss attributable to us and our total stockholders’ equity based on our outstanding long-term debt on September 30, ~~2017~~2018 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2017, assuming those liabilities were outstanding for the previous twelve months:

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, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and ~~principal financial officers,~~Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, ~~2017~~2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management included in its assessment of internal control over financial reporting all consolidated entities, but excluded certain acquiree processes related to operations from Auto-Comm and SAFCON acquired by the company on April 18, 2018, and Intelie acquired by the Company on March 23, 2018.
