The accompanying notes are an integral part of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, ~~2017~~2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March ~~6, 2018.~~15, 2019.

Significant Accounting Policies

~~Please~~In addition to the accounting policies described below, please refer to RigNet’s Annual Report on Form10-K for fiscal year ~~2017~~2018 for information regarding the Company’s accounting policies.

Revenue ~~Recognition—~~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—~~Recognition – Managed Communications Services (MCS) and Applications andInternet-of-Things (Apps & IoT)

~~Managed Services~~MCS and ~~Applications andInternet-of-Things~~Apps & IoT 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~~Contracts are generally in the form of Master Service Agreements, or MSAs, with specific services being provided under individual service ~~orders that~~orders. Offshore contracts generally have a term of up to three years with renewal ~~options for offshore locations that are generally longer-term~~options. Land-based 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~~MCS and ~~Applications andInternet-of-Things~~Apps & IoT 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.~~contracts (CIEB).

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~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the amount of ~~Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts~~CIEB related to Systems Integration projects was ~~$4.4~~$11.6 million and ~~$2.4~~$7.1 million, respectively. Under long-term contracts, amounts recorded in ~~Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts~~CIEB may not be realized or paid ~~respectively,~~ within aone-year period. As of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017, $1.3~~2018, $1.2 million and ~~$0.4 million,~~none, respectively, of amounts billed to customers in excess of revenue recognized to date ~~are~~were 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.~~and other current liabilities.

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.~~CIEB. No material unapproved change orders or claims revenue ~~was~~were included in ~~Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts~~CIEB as of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018. 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,~~2019, we have backlog for our percentage of completion projects of ~~$41.4~~$35.9 million, which will be recognized over the remaining contract term for each contract. Percentage of completion contract terms are typically one to three years.

Leases

Effective with adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU2016-02), Leases (the new lease standard) on January 1, 2019, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases right of use assets and liabilities are included in right to use lease asset, deferred revenue and other current liabilities, and right to use lease liability – long-term portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment; current maturities of long-term debt; and long-term debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right to use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2014-09~~ ~~(ASU2014-09),~~ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update~~No. 2015-14~~ ~~(ASU2015-14),~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. In~~ March 2016, the FASB issued ~~Accounting Standards Update~~ASU~~No. 2016-08~~ ~~(ASU2016-08),~~ Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations. The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. In April and May of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update~~No. 2016-10~~ ~~(ASU2016-10)~~ ~~and Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2016-12~~ ~~(ASU2016-12),~~ Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), respectively, that provide scope amendments, performance obligations clarification and practical expedients. These ASUs allow for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method and are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. The Company’s evaluation of this ASU included a detailed review of representative contracts from each segment and comparing historical accounting policies and practices to the new standard. The adoption of this ASU did not have any material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo.~~ 2016-02, ~~(ASU2016-02),~~ Leases. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

In ~~August~~June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. ~~2016-15~~2016-13 (ASU~~2016-15)~~2016-13), ~~Statement~~which measures credit losses on most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The update amends the impairment model to utilize a current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology in place of ~~Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification~~the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of ~~Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.~~information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. Companies will apply this standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The new ASU reduces diversity of practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics, including the treatment of contingent consideration payments made after a business combination. The ASUstandard is effective for ~~annual~~interim and ~~interim~~annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, ~~2017.~~2019.

~~In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2016-16~~ ~~(ASU2016-16),~~ Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other Than Inventory. The new ASU requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than the previous requirement to defer recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold to an outside party. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method through a $0.3 million cumulative effect that directly lowered accumulated deficit. The adoption of this ASU did not have any material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2018-13 (ASU2018-13), which eliminates disclosures, modifies existing disclosures and adds new Fair Value disclosure requirements to Topic 820 for the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. Auto-Comm brings over 30 years of systems integration experience in engineering and design, installation, testing, and maintenance. 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~~$1.4 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. The acquisitions of Auto-Comm and SAFCON, including goodwill, are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and are primarily reflected in the Systems Integration segment.

Of this aggregate purchase price, RigNet paid R$10.6 million (BRL) (or approximately $3.2 million) in cash, $7.3 million in stock and expects to pay $7.6 million worth of RigNet stock as contingent considerationearn-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 $17.0 million payable in stock. Intelie is a real-time, predictive analytics company that combines an operational understanding with a machine learning approach. Intelie facilitates innovation via Intelie Pipes^TM, a distributed query language with a complex event processor to aggregate and normalize real-time data from a myriad of data sources. This technology enables the Intelie LIVE^TM platform to solve data integration, data quality, data governance and monitoring problems. Intelie LIVE is an operational intelligence platform that empowers clients to make timely, data-driven decisions in mission-critical real-time operations, including drilling, and longer-term, data-intensive projects, such as well planning. ~~While primarily applicable to oil and gas,~~ Intelie ~~Live~~LIVE has broad applicability across many industry verticals. Intelie is based in Brazil.

The assets and liabilities of Intelie 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 contingent consideration, identifiable intangible assets, and the effects of income taxes resulting from the transaction, are still being finalized.

Theearn-out for Intelie is measured at fair value in each reporting period, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive ~~Loss in each reporting period.~~Loss. As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the fair value of theearn-out was ~~$7.7 million.~~$7.9 million with $4.4 million in deferred revenue and other current liabilities and $3.5 million in other long-term liabilities. During the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Intelieearn-out of ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million with corresponding increases to other liabilities. Portions of theearn-out are payable in RigNet stock on the first, second and third anniversary of the closing of the acquisition based on certain post-closing performance targets under the acquisition agreement. On April 29, 2019, the agreement was amended to clarify the calculation of certain contingent consideration, but did not change the amount or form of consideration that could be paid pursuant to the purchase agreement. In May 2019, the Company issued 208,356 shares of its common stock, with an aggregate value of $3.0 million, as payment for the portion of theearn-out earned as of the first anniversary of the closing of the acquisition.

The goodwill of $10.7 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 Intelie, 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 Intelie, including goodwill, is included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and is reflected in the ~~Applications andInternet-of-Things~~Apps & IoT 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, the British Pound Sterling and the 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~~income (loss) in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Credit and Customer Concentration Risk

Credit risk, with respect to accounts receivable, is due to the limited number of customers concentrated in the oil and gas, 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. Although no one customer comprised over 10% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our top 5 customers generated 24.7% of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

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 ~~2018~~2019 or ~~2017.~~2018. 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 ~~$1.0~~$1.4 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 $0.7 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).~~

~~The Company~~ performs its annual impairment test as of July 31^stof each ~~year,~~year. In connection with the July 31, 2019 impairment test, the most recent annual test ~~being~~ performed ~~as of July 31, 2018. As of July 31, 2018,~~prior to September 30, 2019, the fair values of the Company’s reporting units ~~are~~were in excess of their carrying ~~values.~~values and no impairment was noted.

~~Managed Services~~MCS had ~~$22.9~~$21.9 million of goodwill as of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, and fair value exceeded carrying value by ~~34.7%~~16.1% as of the July 31, ~~2018~~2019 annual impairment test. Apps & IoT had ~~$22.4~~$22.2 million of goodwill as of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, and fair value exceeded carrying value by ~~48.1%~~155.7% as of the July 31, ~~2018~~2019 annual impairment test. Systems Integration had ~~$1.0~~$1.4 million of goodwill as of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, and fair value exceeded carrying value by ~~126.5%~~29.2% as of the July 31, ~~2018~~2019 annual impairment test. Any future downturn in our business could adversely impact the key assumptions in our impairment test. While we believe that 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, ~~2018 and December 31, 2017.~~2019.

As of September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, goodwill was ~~$46.3~~$45.5 million and ~~$37.1~~$46.6 million, respectively. Goodwill increases or decreases in value due to the effect of foreign currency translation, ~~and~~ increases with ~~acquisitions.~~acquisitions, and decreases in the event an impairment is recognized.

Intangibles

Intangibles consist of customer relationships,covenants-not-to-compete, brand name, ~~backlog,~~licenses, technology and ~~licenses~~backlog acquired as part of the Company’s acquisitions. Intangibles also includeinternal-use software. The Company’s intangibles have useful lives ranging from 5.0 to ~~7.0~~20.0 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.

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

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, intangibles were $34.5 million and $30.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized amortization expense of $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

The RCF andTerm-Out Loan mature on April 6, 2021. The Term Loan matures on ~~November 6,~~December 31, 2020.

On February 13, 2019, the Company entered into the first amendment to Credit Agreement to refinance $30.0 million of outstanding draws under the existing $85.0 million RCF with the new $30.0 millionTerm-Out Loan.

The Credit Agreement required a $45.0 million reserve (Specified Reserve) under the RCF that was released and made available for borrowing for payment of the GX Dispute settlement. The RCF contains asub-limit of up to $25.0 million for commercial and~~stand-by~~ stand- by letters of credit and performance ~~bonds.~~bonds issued by the parties under the Credit Agreement.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under the ~~credit agreement, both~~Credit Agreement, the Term Loan,Term-Out Loan and the RCF bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to ~~2.75%~~3.00% based on a consolidated leverage ratio defined in the ~~credit agreement.~~Credit Agreement. Interest on the Term Loan,Term-Out Loan and RCF is payable ~~monthly and principal~~monthly. Principal installments of $1.25 million and $1.5 million under the Term Loan andTerm-Out Loan, respectively, are due quarterly. The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and ~~2017 were~~ 4.9% ~~and 3.2%~~, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and ~~2017 were~~ 4.7% ~~and 3.1%~~, respectively, with an interest rate of 5.0% at September 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

Term-Out Loan

~~NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

As of September 30, 2019, theTerm-Out Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $27.0 million.

RCF

As of September 30, ~~2018, $60.2~~2019, $81.2 million in draws remain outstanding under the RCF. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company borrowed $43.0 million under the RCF in connection with the $45.0 million of GX Dispute settlement payments.

Covenants and Restrictions

The Company’s ~~credit agreement~~Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, including restricting the payment of cash dividends under default, and maintaining certain financial covenants such as a consolidated ~~leverage ratio, defined in the credit agreement, of less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.0 and a consolidated~~ fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to ~~1.0~~1.00. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires a consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of ~~September 30, 2018.~~less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. The consolidated leverage ratio increased to 3.25 to 1.00 for the four quarters starting in the 2^nd quarter of 2019. The consolidated leverage ratio then decreases to 3.00 to 1.00 for three quarters, and then decreases to 2.75 to 1.00 for all remaining quarters. If any default occurs related to these covenants that is 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 the assets of the Company.

In April 2019, the Company determined that in periods beginning at least as early as March 31, 2014, it had incurred and not appropriately included certain surety bonds or other similar instruments in its consolidated leverage ratio calculation as defined by the Credit Agreement. As a result, on May 6, 2019, the Company entered into a Consent and Waiver (Consent) to the Credit Agreement with the financial institutions party thereto under which the Company is permitted to exclude certain incurred surety bonds and other similar instruments from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the credit agreement). In addition, the Consent waived all specified violations for all prior periods.

On June 7, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment), which (i) permits the Company to exclude up to $5.0 million in legal and related costs for the GX Dispute (see Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies) from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined under the Credit Agreement), (ii) permits the Company to exclude from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness up to $30.0 million of undrawn surety bonds and (iii) revises the threshold of proceeds from asset dispositions above which the Company must prepay on the Term Out Loan to $5.0 million. Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Funded Indebtedness arenon-GAAP metrics defined in the Credit Agreement.

We believe we have accurately calculated and reported our required debt covenant calculations for the September 30, 2019 reporting period and are in compliance with the required covenant ratios.

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.

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.

Theearn-out for Intelie is measured at fair value in each reporting period, based on level 3 inputs, with any change to fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive ~~Loss in each reporting period.~~Loss. As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the fair value of theearn-out was ~~$7.7 million.~~$7.9 million with $4.4 million in deferred revenue and other current liabilities and $3.5 million in other long-term liabilities.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, RigNet recognized accreted interest expense on the Intelieearn-out of $0.1 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, RigNet recognized an increase in the fair value of theearn-out of none and $1.3 million, respectively. Theearn-out is payable in RigNet stock in portions on the first, second and third anniversary of the March 23, 2018 closing of the acquisition based on certain post-closing performance targets under the acquisition agreement.

Theearn-out for Orgtec S.A.P.I. de C.V., d.b.a. TECNOR (TECNOR), acquired in February 2016, was 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. The fair value of theearn-out of $8.0 million was paid in July 2018. ~~The $2.1 million change in fair value in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is primarily related to the second quarter 2018 negotiations with the sellers of TECNOR on the amount of theearn-out.~~

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. As of September 30, 2018, the fair value for the agreement to collect certain accounts receivable was zero.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was ~~(12.6%~~137.1% and (47.0%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. 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 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 IRS finalized the audit of the Company’s 2016 income tax return. There were no assessments or material impact to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company ~~has~~ received ~~an IRS~~a notice informing us of an audit of the Company’s ~~2016~~2016-2017 income tax ~~return.~~returns in Singapore. 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 ~~$3.3~~$2.8 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, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company granted a total of ~~439,150~~601,122 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 the following stock-based awards associated with the long term incentive plan (LTIP): (i) ~~144,005~~190,588 restricted stock units (RSUs) to certain officers and employees that generally vest over a three year period of continued employment, with 33% of the RSUs vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, (ii) 30,648 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) 11,188 RSUs 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 2019, (iv) 157,442 unrestricted stock grants to certain officers and employees that vested immediately and (v) 78,336~~60,361 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.~~targets and (iv) 86,772 RSUs to outside directors that vest in 2020. The ultimate number of PSUs issued is based on a multiple determined by certain performance-based targets.

The fair value of 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, net of forfeitures.

Additionally, the Company granted 232,753 unrestricted stock grants associated with payment of the Company’s 2018 short term incentive plan to certain officers and employees that vested immediately.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company also granted ~~59,703~~28,923 options to purchase our common stock ~~options~~ with an exercise price of ~~$13.50~~$15.06 to certain officers and employees of the Company as part of the LTIP under the 2010 Plan. Options granted have a contractual term of ~~ten~~seven years and vest over a ~~four year~~three-year period of continued employment, with ~~25%~~33% of the options vesting on each of the first ~~four~~three 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,~~2019, were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	~~2018~~2019
Expected volatility		4849	%
Expected term (in years)		7
Risk-free interest rate		~~2.8~~2.5	%
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~~2019 was ~~$7.14~~$7.94 per option.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2018, 79,579~~2019, 30,288 RSUs and ~~44,749~~19,826 stock options were forfeited.

Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2018 and 2017~~2019 was ~~$1.1~~$1.5 million and ~~$1.0~~$7.1 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 ~~and 2017~~ was ~~$4.4~~$1.1 million and ~~$2.9~~$4.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, there was ~~$3.4~~$4.3 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~~1.6 years.

Note 10 – Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the weighted average number of basic shares ~~outstanding.~~outstanding during the period. Basic shares equal the total of the common shares outstanding, ~~weighted for the average days outstanding for the period. Basic shares exclude~~but excludes 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.~~RSUs or PSUs. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing loss attributable to RigNet common stockholders by the weighted average number of diluted shares ~~outstanding.~~outstanding during the period. 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.~~any. 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, 2019, there were approximately 1,167,910 and 2,195,304 potentially issuable shares excluded from the Company’s calculation of diluted EPS that were excluded because to include them would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were approximately 932,048 and 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, 2017, there were approximately 723,296 and 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~~

In August 2017, the Company filed litigation in Harris County District Court and arbitration against one of its former Chief Executive Officers for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition and breach of contract.

The parties entered into a settlement agreement resolving all claims amongst themselves in May 2018 and dismissed the litigation and arbitration proceedings. The Company incurred legal expense of approximately $0.7 million in connection with this dispute for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Recent Developments

On June 24, 2019, we announced that we reached a settlement with Inmarsat that concludes the GX Dispute. Pursuant to the settlement we paid $45.0 million in June 2019 and paid $5.0 million in July 2019 and will pay $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. We have ~~committed~~an accrued liability of $0.8 million as of September 30, 2019. As previously disclosed, Inmarsat plc (Inmarsat), a satellite telecommunications company, filed arbitration with the International Centre for Dispute Resolution tribunal (the panel) in October 2016 concerning a January 2014take-or-pay agreement to ~~upgrade our Gulf~~purchase up to $65.0 million, under certain conditions, of ~~Mexico microwave network. In conjunction with~~GX capacity from Inmarsat over several years. We incurred a ~~major U.S. carrier, this upgrade will add 4G~~credit of $0.4 million and ~~5G LTE capabilities to the existing network.

We incurred legal expenses of ~~2018~~$0.7 million and ~~into 2019.~~

~~In August 2018, we announced the appointment of Lee M. Ahlstrom as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.~~

~~In July 2018, we paid anearn-out~~ ~~of $8.0~~$2.1 million in connection with the ~~February 2016 acquisition of TECNOR. The $2.1 million change in fair value in~~GX Dispute for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, ~~is primarily related to the second quarter 2018 negotiations with the sellers of TECNOR on the amount of theearn-out.~~ Additionally, we have 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 September 30, 2018, the fair value for the agreement to collect certain accounts receivable was zero. The $0.8 million reduction of fair value in the third quarter 2018 related to the reduction of the portion of the contingent consideration related to the subsequent collection of certain accounts receivable balances.

On April 18, 2018, we 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, we paid $2.6 million in cash and $4.1 million in stock. Auto-Comm provides a broad range of communications services, for both onshore and offshore remote locations, to the oil and gas industry. Auto-Comm brings over 30 years of systems integration experience in engineering and design, installation, testing, and maintenance. 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 we have established over the years. Auto-Comm and SAFCON are based in Louisiana.

On March 23, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Intelie Soluções Em Informática S.A (Intelie), for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $18.1 million. Of this aggregate purchase price, we paid R$10.6 million (BRL) (or approximately $3.2 million) in cash, $7.3 million in stock and expect to pay $7.6 million worth of RigNet stock as 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.

As of September 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we have backlog for our percentage of completion projects of ~~$41.4~~$35.9 million.

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 ~~2018,~~2019, 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. drilling rig counts have increased in 2017 and 2018 since their 2016 lows, theThe oil and gas environment continues to be challenged with operators focusing on projects with shorterpay-back periods that generally require less capital investment and lower costs from service providers and drilling contractors. The average price of Brent crude, a key indicator of activity for the oil and gas industry, was $64.65 per barrel for the nine months ending September 30, 2019 compared to an average of $72.17 for the nine months ending September 30, 2018. Brent crude spot prices increased in the first three quarters of 2018 and peaked at $86.07 on October 4, 2018. From the October 4, 2018 high, Brent crude oil prices decreased over 40.0% in the fourth quarter of 2018. In the first half of 2019, Brent crude oil prices recovered to the $70 per barrel range and have then declined in the second half of 2019 to the $60 per barrel range. Certain analysts are not presently predicting meaningful increases in offshore drilling rig utilization for the remainder of 2019, but are predicting more meaningful improvements in utilization and day rates in 2020 or 2021. As a result, we believe drilling contractors are cautiously optimistic about a gradual demand recovery. The offshore drilling contracting environment remains challenged, with major offshore drilling contractors having experienced significant pressure on day rates, which in turn ~~may have~~has had 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.

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.

We are in the early stages of the audit and do not have any estimates of further exposure, if any, for the tax years under review.

~~Global Xpress (GX) Dispute~~

We and Inmarsat are in a dispute relating to a January 2014 agreement regarding the purchase of up to $65.0 million, under certain conditions, of GX capacity from Inmarsat over several years. Inmarsat initiated arbitration regarding the GX dispute 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 $2.1 million in connection with the GX dispute for the nine months ended September 30, 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.

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.~~Credit Agreement.

~~Both~~Under the Credit Agreement, the Term Loan, theTerm-Out Loan and the RCF bear an interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to ~~2.75%~~3.00%, based on a consolidated leverage ratio defined in the ~~credit agreement.~~Credit Agreement. Interest is payable monthly and principal installments of $1.25 million and $1.5 million under the Term Loan andTerm-Out Loan, respectively, are due ~~quarterly, with the balance due November 6, 2020.~~quarterly.

The weighted average interest rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and ~~2017 were~~ 4.9% ~~and 3.2%~~, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 5.3% and ~~2017 were~~ 4.7% ~~and 3.1%~~, respectively, with an interest rate of 5.0% at September 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

As of September 30, 2018, $60.2~~Term-Out Loan and $81.2 million ~~in draws on~~for the ~~RCF remain outstanding.~~RCF.

The ~~credit agreement~~Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions, including restricting the payment of cash dividends ~~when~~ under default, and maintaining certain financial covenants such as ~~a consolidated leverage ratio, defined in the credit agreement, of less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.0 and~~ a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25 to ~~1.0.~~1.00. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires a consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, of less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. The consolidated leverage ratio increased to 3.25 to 1.00 for the four quarters starting in the 2^nd quarter of 2019. The consolidated leverage ratio then decreases to 3.00 to 1.00 for three quarters, and then decreases to 2.75 to 1.00 for all remaining quarters. If 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~~Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all our assets.

In April 2019, we determined that in periods beginning at least as early as March 31, 2014, we had incurred and not appropriately included certain surety bonds or other similar instruments in our consolidated leverage ratio calculation as defined by the credit agreement. As a result, on May 6, 2019, we entered into a Consent and Waiver (Consent) to the Credit Agreement with the financial institutions party thereto under which we are permitted to exclude certain incurred surety bonds and other similar instruments from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, as defined in the credit agreement, for the period ended September 30, ~~2018, we~~2019. In addition, the Consent waived all specified violations for all prior periods. On June 7, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (Second Amendment), which (i) permits the Company to exclude up to $5.0 million in legal and related costs for the GX Dispute from the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA, (ii) permits the Company to exclude from the calculation of Consolidated Funded Indebtedness up to $30.0 million of undrawn surety bonds and (iii) revises the threshold of proceeds from asset dispositions above which the Company must prepay on the Term Out Loan to $5.0 million. Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Funded Indebtedness arenon-GAAP metrics defined in the Credit Agreement.

We believe we ~~were~~have accurately calculated and reported our required debt covenant calculations for the September 30, 2019 reporting period and are in compliance with ~~all covenants.~~the required covenant ratios. We ~~will continue~~expect to ~~monitor our covenant compliance and intend to adjust our capital strategy, as needed. However, our ability to maintain~~remain in compliance with our required debt covenant calculations for the foreseeable future, however, in the event that there are changes in economic conditions we can limit or control our spending through reductions in discretionary capital or other types of controllable expenditures, monetization of assets, or any combination of these ~~covenants is also dependent on our future financial performance and market conditions, which may vary from current expectations.~~alternatives if needed to remain in compliance with such covenants.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, operating income (loss), basic or diluted loss per share or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures in the same manner as we do. We prepare Adjusted EBITDA 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),~~expense; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and ~~amortization,~~amortization; impairment of goodwill, intangibles, property, plant and ~~equipment,~~equipment; (gain) loss on sales of property, plant and equipment, net of ~~retirements,~~retirements; change in fair value of earn-outs and contingent ~~consideration,~~consideration; stock-based ~~compensation,~~compensation; acquisition ~~costs,~~costs; executive departure ~~costs,~~costs; restructuring ~~charges~~charges; the GX Dispute; GX Dispute Phase II costs 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.~~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 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;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the GX Dispute;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the GX Dispute Phase II costs;

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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

Item 3.Quantitative and ~~Qualitative~~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, 2019 and 2018, 8.1% and ~~2017,~~ 8.6% ~~and 9.8%~~, respectively, of our revenues were earned innon-U.S. currencies. At September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, 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 onat September 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, 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 (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, ~~2018.~~2019. 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~~company’s management, including its principal executive and ~~Chief Financial Officers,~~principal 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, ~~2018,~~2019, 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
