Presentation of Operating Expenses

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company changed its presentation of operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations by combining the previously disclosed Termination and Access Fees with Engineering and Operations as the newly represented Costs of Communication Services and Other.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company prospectively adopted this accounting standard in 2021. The adoption of ASC 2021-08 will result in the recognition of larger deferred revenue balances in future acquisitions.

In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which required entities to make specific annual disclosures about transactions with a government. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2021-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures. Going forward the Company will evaluate the disclosure requirements based on its participation in government programs.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company recognizes contract assets and liabilities on its balance sheet. Contract assets represent unbilled amounts typically resulting from consumer Mobility contracts with both a multiyear service period and a promotional discount. In these contracts, the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. The current portion of the contract asset is recorded in prepayments and other current assets and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheets.

the contract asset is recorded in prepayments and other current assets and the noncurrent portion is included in other assets on the Company’s balance sheets.

Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Mobility and Fixed revenue for postpaid customers is generally billed one month in advance and recognized over the period that the corresponding service is rendered to customers. To the extent the service is not provided by the reporting date the amount is recognized as a contract liability. Prepaid service, including Mobility services, sold to customers is recorded as deferred revenue prior to the commencement of services. Contract liabilities also include certain long term fixed business and carrier service customer contracts. Contract liabilities are recorded in advanced payments and deposits and other liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets.

In July 2019, the Company entered into a Network Build and Maintenance Agreement with AT&T Mobility, LLC (“AT&T”) and subsequently entered into amendments in August 2020, May 2021 and August 2022 (the “FirstNet Agreement”). In connection with the FirstNet Agreement, the Company is building a portion of AT&T’s network for the First Responder Network Authority in or near the Company’s current operating areas in the western United States (the “FirstNet Transaction”). The FirstNet Transaction includes construction and service performance obligations. The current portion of receivables under this agreement is recorded in customer receivable and the long-term portion is recorded in customer receivable long-term on the Company’s balance sheet. In May 2023, the Company allocatedamended its current roaming agreement and entered into a carrier management services agreement with Verizon Wireless (“Verizon CMS Agreement”). The transaction includes service performance obligations under which revenue is recognized over time. The Company allocates the transaction price of the FirstNet Agreementthese agreements to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of each performance obligation in the contract.contracts. The standalone selling price is the estimated price the Company would charge for the good or service in a separate transaction with similar customers in similar circumstances. The current portion of receivables under this agreement is recorded in customer receivable and the long-term portion is recorded in customer receivable long-term on the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company has certain Carrier Services roaming agreements that contain stand-ready performance obligations and management allocates transaction value to performance obligations based on the standalone selling price. The standalone selling price is the estimated price the Company would charge for the good or service with similar customers in similar circumstances. Management determined the performance obligations were obligations to make the service continuously available and will recognize revenue evenly over the service period.

This includes revenue from Communication Services, Construction, and Other revenue. Communication Services revenue is further disaggregated into business and consumer Mobility, business and consumer Fixed, Carrier Services, and Other services. Other revenue is further disaggregated into Renewable Energy and Managed Services revenue. This disaggregation of revenue depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Receivables

The Company records an estimate of future credit losses in conjunction with the revenue transaction based on the information available including historical experience and management’s expectations of future conditions. Those estimates will be updated as additional information becomes available.

5. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for credit losses on trade receivables, useful lives of the Company’s fixed and finite-lived intangible assets, allocation of purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, goodwill assessing the impairment of assets, revenue, and income taxes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. See Note 1 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on the use of these estimates.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND INVESTMENTS

In accordance with the provisions of fair value accounting, a fair value measurement assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability, and defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

The fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset and liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 assets and liabilities include money market funds, debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market.

Level 2

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes corporate obligations and non-exchange traded derivative contracts.

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments and intangible assets that have been impaired whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $5.1 million in relation to a pretax loss of $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, (ii) net expense related to valuation allowances placed on certain deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realizable based on the weight of positive and negative evidence and (iii) discrete items including a $4.0 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration and a $0.7 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4.0 million in relation to a pretax loss of $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and (ii) discrete items including a $3.3$3.3 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration and a $0.3 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.0 million in relation to a pretax loss of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, (ii) a $2.1$2.1 million net expense recognized discretely to record a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realizable based on the weight of positive and negative evidence and (iii) discrete items including a $3.3 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration, and a $0.8 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily impacted by the following items: (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and (ii) discrete items including a $3.4 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration and a $1.0 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

The Company’s effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. The Company’s consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by any transactional or one-time items in the future and the mix of income in any given year generated among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. While the Company believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from the Company’s accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex applications of tax law and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgments by management. Accordingly, the Company could record additional provisions or benefits for US federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company accounts for third-party non-controlling minority investments as redeemable noncontrolling interests, which consist of both redeemable common and, in some instances, preferred units, in its consolidated financial statements.

The common units contain put options allowing the holder to sell at a future date, the common units to a subsidiary of the Company at the then fair market value. The common units participate in the earnings and losses of the subsidiaries and are allocated their applicable share of earning and losses. After the allocation of earnings and losses, the Company estimates the fair value of the common units and adjusts the book value of the common units to that estimated fair value.

The preferred units contain put options allowing the holder to sell at a future date, the preferred units to a subsidiary of the Company at a fixed price equal to face value of the units plus unpaid dividends. The preferred units hold a distribution preference over common units and carry a fixed dividend rate.

The put options for both the common and preferred units, if any, are nonrecourse to the Company and exercisable at the earlier of a future initial public offering of the subsidiary or certain dates beginning in 2026.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company allocated losses of $3.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to the redeemable common units representing their proportionate share of operating losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company allocated losses of $6.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, to the redeemable common units representing their proportionate share of operating losses. The Company then compared the book value of the common units to the fair value and the fair value exceeded the book value. As a result, the book value was increased by $5.9 million and $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

In connection with the Alaska Transaction, the Company has accounted for the Freedom 3 Investment as redeemable noncontrolling interests in its consolidated financial statements. The redeemable noncontrolling interests consist of $22.6 million of redeemable common units and $48.3 million of redeemable preferred units. The common units contain a put option allowing the holder to sell the common units to a subsidiary of the Company at the then fair market value. The put option is solely the obligation of Alaska Communications and is nonrecourse to the Company. The put option begins at the earlier of a future initial public offering of the Alaska Communications operations or July 2028. The fair value of the common units remained at $22.6 million at June 30, 2022, unchanged from the value at July 22, 2021. The redeemable preferred equity carries a 9% preferred dividend which compounds quarterly. The preferred units contain a put option allowing the holder to sell the preferred units to a subsidiary of the Company at the unpaid issue price plus unpaid dividends. The put option is solely the obligation of Alaska Communications and is nonrecourse to the Company. The put option begins at the earlier of a future initial public offering of the Alaska Communications operations or July 2028. The unpaid preferred dividend was $4.3 million at June 30, 2022.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company allocated losses of $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, to the redeemable common units representing their proportionate share of operating losses. Additionally, the fair value of the redeemable common units increased by $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regulatory and Litigation Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to certain regulatory and legal proceedings and other claims arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages and taxes that are substantial in amount. Historically, the Company’s subsidiary, GTT, has been subject to other long-standing litigation proceedings and disputes in Guyana that have not yet been resolved. The Company believes that, except for the items discussed below, for which the Company is currently unable to predict the final outcome, the disposition of proceedingsmatters currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In 1990,Beginning in 2006, the Company’s Guyana subsidiary, GTT, was awarded a license to provide domestic and international voice and data services in Guyana on an exclusive basis until December 2030. Since 2001,National Frequency Management Unit (now the Government of Guyana has stated its intention to introduce additional competition into Guyana’s telecommunications sector. In connection therewith,Telecommunications Agency , or the Company“NFMU/TA”) and GTT met on several occasions with officialshave been engaged in discussions regarding the amount of the Governmentand methodology for calculation of Guyana to discuss potential modificationsspectrum fees payable by GTT in Guyana. Since that time, GTT has made payments of, GTT’s exclusivity and other rights under the existing agreement and license. On October 5, 2020, the Prime Minister of Guyana formally implemented telecommunications legislation previously passedundisputed spectrum fees as amounts invoiced by the Guyana Parliament in 2016 that introduces material changes to many featuresNFMU/TA. There have been limited further discussions on the subject of Guyana’s existing telecommunications regulatory regimea revised spectrum fee methodology with the intentionTelecommunications Agency and GTT awaits the determination of creating a more competitive market. At that time, the Company was issued a new license to provide domestic and international voice as well as data services and mobile services in Guyana. NaN of thesuch fees.

Table of Contents

Company’s competitors were issued service licenses as well. While the Company has requested details of its competitors’ licenses, such information has not been made public by the Guyana Telecommunications Agency, and the Company is not yet able to ascertain whether the licenses issued to its competitors permit any competitors to provide services that have been subject to GTT’s exclusive rights contained in its 1990 license.

On October 23, 2020, the Government of Guyana also brought into effect new telecommunications regulations called for by the telecommunications legislation. The regulations include new requirements for the market as a whole, which impose costly additional regulatory fees and impact the Company’s operations, administrative reporting and services. There can be no assurance that these regulations will be effectively implemented, or that they will be administered in a fair and transparent manner.

Historically, GTT has been subject to other long-standing litigation proceedings and disputes in Guyana that have not yet been resolved. The Company believes that none of these additional proceedings would, in the event of an adverse outcome, have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In a letter dated September 8, 2006, the National Frequency Management Unit (“NFMU”) agreed that total spectrum fees in Guyana should not increase for the years 2006 and 2007. However, that letter implied that spectrum fees in 2008 and onward may be increased beyond the amount GTT agreed to with the Government of Guyana. GTT has objected to the NFMU’s proposed action and reiterated its position that an increase in fees prior to development of an acceptable methodology would violate the Government’s prior agreement. In 2011, GTT paid the NFMU $2.6 million representing payments in full for 2008, 2009 and 2010. However, by letter dated November 23, 2011, the NFMU stated that it did not concur with GTT’s inference that the amount was payment in full for the specified years as it was NFMU’s continued opinion that the final calculation for spectrum fees was not agreed upon and was still an outstanding issue. By further letter dated November 24, 2011, the NFMU further rejected a proposal that was previously submitted jointly by GTT and another communications provider that outlined a recommended methodology for the calculation of these fees. The NFMU stated that it would prepare its own recommendation for consideration by the Minister of Telecommunications, who would decide the matter. GTT has paid undisputed spectrum fees according to the methodology used for its 2011 payments and has reserved amounts payable according to this methodology. There have been limited further discussions on this subject and GTT has not been given the opportunity to review recommendations to the Minister on spectrum fee methodology, if any.

On May 8, 2009, a GTT competitor, Digicel, filed a lawsuit in Guyana challenging the legality of GTT’s exclusive license rights under Guyana’s constitution and GTT intervened in the suit in order to oppose Digicel’s claims. The case remains pending. The Company believes that any legal challenge to GTT’s exclusive license rights granted in 1990 is without merit and the Company continues to defend vigorously against such legal challenge.

GTT has filed several lawsuits in the High Court of Guyana asserting that, despite its denials, Digicel is engaged in international bypass in violation of GTT’s exclusive license rights, the interconnection agreement between the parties, and the laws of Guyana. Digicel filed counterclaims alleging that GTT has violated the terms of the interconnection agreement and Guyana laws. These suits, filed in 2010 and 2012, have been consolidated with Digicel’s constitutional challenge described above. Prior to the declaration of COVID-19 related travel and business restrictions in Guyana, the consolidated cases were scheduled to proceed to trial in 2020. GTT expects to resume the litigation following the lifting of COVID-19 related restrictions and intends to prosecute these matters vigorously;above, however, the Company cannot accurately predict at this time when the consolidated suit will go to trial.reach a court of final determination.

GTT is also involved in several legal claims regarding its tax filings with the Guyana Revenue Authority (the “GRA”) dating back to 1991 regarding the deductibility of intercompany advisory fees as well as other tax assessments. The Company maintainsGTT’s position has been upheld by various High Court rulings made in its favor including most recently in December 2021,. GTT has maintained that it has no unpaid corporation tax due to the GRA and that any liability GTT might be found to have with respect to the disputed tax assessments, totaling $44.1as alleged by the GRA in the aggregate amount of $32 million net of interest, would be offset in part by the amounts necessary to ensure that GTT’s return on investment was no less than 15% per annum for the relevant periods.

Table Several High Court rulings in the favor of Contents

On May 20, 2021,GTT have been appealed by the GRA and the Company was served with a notice of application for enforcement of a foreign judgment with respect to a matter brought by the Trinidad & Tobago Electric Commission (“TTEC”)believes that some adverse outcome in the High Court of Justice in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in August 2013 against the Company and other defendants, alleging breach of contract due to the Company’s failure to pay TTEC in connection with amounts alleged to be owed as reimbursement for cable repair costs. In May 2015, the Company failed to appear in the matter and a default judgment was entered against the Company in the amount of approximately $2.8 million.  In May 2021, TTEC took steps to enforce the judgment by commencing proceedings against GTT in Guyana, however, in May of 2022, the High Court of Guyana denied TTEC’s petition. GTT intends to continue to defend its position against the legitimacy of the claim.these or pending unheard matters could occur

In February 2020, the Company’s Alaska Communications subsidiary received a draft audit report from USAC in connection with USAC’s inquiry into Alaska Communications’ funding requests under the Rural Health Care Support Program for certain customers for the time period of July 2012 through June 2017. The draft audit report alleges violations of the FCC’s rules for establishing rural rates and urban rates, the provisioning and billing of ineligible services and products, and violations of the FCC’s competitive bidding rules.  Alaska Communications has provided USAC with extensive comments in response to its draft audit report seeking correction of numerous factual and legal errors that it believed it had identified. As a result of these conversations and comments being submitted by Alaska Communications, USAC’s auditors may revise their findings, including the amounts they recommend USAC seek to recover. USAC’s auditors are expected to issue a final audit report incorporating Alaska Communications’ responses that will be sent to USAC’s Rural Health Care Division to review and determine if corrective action would be appropriate. In the event that the Company disagrees with USAC’s final audit report, the Company can appeal that decision to USAC’s Rural Health Care Division and/or the FCC. At this time, the Company cannot predict the contents or timing of the final USAC audit report, the outcome of the audit or the impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Alaska Communications also received a Letter of Inquiry on March 18, 2018, and subsequent follow up information requests, from the FCC Enforcement Bureau requesting historical information regarding Alaska Communications’ participation in the FCC’s Rural Health Care Support Program. The Company is engaged in discussions with the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau and will continue to work constructively with the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to provide it the information it is seeking. At this time, the Company cannot predict theAny adverse outcome ofwith respect to the FCC Enforcement Bureau’s inquiry or the impact it may have on itsan adverse impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

With respect to all of the foregoing matters, the Company believes that some adverse outcome is probable and has accordingly accrued $13.3$16.0 million as of June 30, 20222023 for these and other potential liabilities arising in various claims, legal actions and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company also faces contingencies that are reasonably possible to occur that cannot currently be estimated. It is the Company’s policy to expense costs associated with loss contingencies, including any related legal fees, as they are incurred.

 Pending Acquisition of Sacred Wind Enterprises

On July 26,November 7, 2022, we, via our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary Alloy, Inc. (“Alloy”), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquireacquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Sacred Wind Enterprises, Inc. (“Sacred Wind”), a rural telecommunications provider in New Mexico. UnderMexico (the “Sacred Wind Transaction”) for $44.6 million of consideration. The purchase price allocation was finalized during the Purchase Agreement,six months ended June 30, 2023. As part of the Sacred Wind Transaction, we will contribute alltransferred consideration of our ownership$16.7 million of cash, net of $9.4 million of cash acquired, $14.8 million of redeemable noncontrolling interests, and $3.7 million of contingent consideration. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received $1.3 million as final settlement of working capital amounts. Upon completion of the Sacred Wind Transaction, the former Sacred Wind shareholders own 6% of the Alloy equity. This equity is classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests in our Commnet Wireless businessfinancial statements because the holders have an option, beginning in 2026, to Alloy,put the equity interest to a subsidiary of the Company at the then fair market value. The redeemable noncontrolling interests do not have preference relative to other equity units and issue Alloy equity to

The acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of required third party and regulatory approvals such as approvalfair value of the Federal Communications Commission. Undercontingent consideration was calculated using discounted cash flow analysis based on a range of probability weighted outcomes. We funded the Purchase Agreement,acquisition with borrowing under our CoBank Credit Facility and assumed $31.6 million of Sacred Wind will keep in place its approximately $32 million in debt, and we will issue consideration of a combination of $24 million in cash, the issuance of $13 million of equity representing an approximate 6% in Alloy, Inc. In addition, the Purchase Agreement includes certain earn-outs, the accounting for which will be determined upon our completion of the acquisition, to be paid to the Sacred Wind stockholders.United States of America administered through the Rural Utilities Service.

We believe that the acquisition of Sacred Wind will expand our infrastructure reach and broadband services in the rural Southwest and increase our wholesale carrier, residential and business broadband services.

The acquisition of Sacred Wind is expected to close subject to Federal Communications Commission and other required approvals in the fourth quarter of 2022 or first quarter of 2023.

Completed Acquisition of Alaska Communications

On July 22, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Alaska Communications Systems Group, Inc. (“Alaska Communications”), a publicly listed company, for approximately $339.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired, (the “Alaska Transaction”). Alaska Communications provides broadband telecommunication and managed information technology services to customers in the state of Alaska and beyond using its statewide and interstate telecommunications network.

In conjunction with the Alaska Transaction, we entered into an agreement with affiliates and investment funds managed by Freedom 3 Capital, LLC as well as other institutional investors (collectively the “Freedom 3 Investors”). The Freedom 3 Investors contributed $71.5 million in conjunction with the Alaska Transaction (the “Freedom 3 Investment”). The Freedom 3 Investment consists of common and preferred equity instruments in our subsidiary of which holds the ownership of Alaska Communications.  We accounted for the Freedom 3 Investment as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements and we also entered into a financing transaction drawing $220 million on a new credit facility to complete the Alaska Transaction. As a result of the Alaska Transaction, we own approximately 52% of the common equity of Alaska Communications and control its operations and management.  Beginning on July 22, 2021, the results of Alaska Communications are included in our US Telecom segment.

See Liquidity and Capital Resources for a discussion regarding the credit agreement used to help finance the Alaska Transaction.

COVID-19

We are continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our commercial operations, the safety of our employees and their families, our sales force and customers.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, which may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We assessed certain accounting matters and estimates that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information and estimates reasonably available to us and the unknown future impacts of COVID-19 as of June 30, 2022 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition.

Our assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on our operations did not indicate that there was a material adverse impact to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2022. However, future assessments of the impacts of COVID-19, as well as other factors, including the possible reinstatement of certain COVID-19 travel-related and stay-at-home restrictions, could result in material adverse impacts to our consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. For example, we may experience difficulty in procuring network or retail equipment, such as handsets for subscribers, as a result of COVID-19 restrictions and related supply chain challenges.  In addition, there is increased uncertainty related to predicting subscribers’ procurement behavior for services.

Disposition of International Solar Business

In January 2021, we completed the sale of 67% of the outstanding equity in our business that owns and operates distributed generation solar power projects operated under the Vibrant name in India (the “Vibrant Transaction”).  The post-sale results of our ownership interest in Vibrant, representing 33% of Vibrant’s profits and losses, will be recorded through the equity method of accounting within the Corporate and Other operating segment.  We will continue to present the historical results of our Renewable Energy segment for comparative purposes.

The operations of Vibrant did not qualify as discontinued operations because the disposition did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results.

FirstNet Agreement

In July 2019, we entered into a Network Build and Maintenance Agreement with AT&T Mobility, LLC (“AT&T”) that we amended in August 2020, May 2021 and August 2022 (the “FirstNet Agreement”). In connection with the FirstNet Agreement, we are building a portion of AT&T’s network for the First Responder Network Authority (“FirstNet”) in or near our current operating areaareas in the Western United States. Pursuant to the FirstNet Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, all cell sites must be completed and accepted within a specified period of time. Since inception ofWe expect that total construction revenue related to FirstNet will approximate $80 million to $85 million. During the project throughthree months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we have recorded $52.1$1.0 million and $3.3 million in construction revenue, includingrespectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $1.6 million and $5.3 million during 2022.  In 2022, we also expect to record additional costs ofin construction revenue, as sites are completed, that will approximate that revenue.respectively. Revenues from construction are expected to have minimal impact on operating income. The network build portion of the FirstNet Agreement has continued during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the overall timing ofWe expect to substantially complete the build schedule has been delayed.  by the end of 2023 with the remainder to be completed in early 2024.

Following acceptance of a cell site, AT&T will own the cell site and we will assign to AT&T any third-party tower lease applicable to such cell site. If the cell site is located on a communications tower we own, AT&T will pay us pursuant to a separate lease agreement for an initial term of eight years. In addition to building the network, we will provide ongoing equipment and site maintenance and high-capacity transport to and from these cell sites for an initial term ending in 2029.

AT&T will continue to use our wholesale domestic mobility network for roaming services at a fixed rate per site during the construction period until such time as the cell site is transferred to AT&T. Thereafter, revenue from the maintenance, leasing and transport services provided to AT&T is expected to generally offset revenue from wholesale mobility roaming services. We are currently receiving revenue from the FirstNet Transaction and expect overall operating income contributions from the FirstNet Transaction to have a relatively steady impact going forward.

Verizon Carrier Managed Services Agreement

On May 10, 2023, our subsidiary, Commnet, entered into a  Carrier Managed Services Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”), pursuant to which Commnet will provide a variety of network, infrastructure and technical services that will help deliver next generation wireless services to Verizon’s subscribers in Commnet’s current operating area in the southwestern United States.

Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, Commnet will upgrade its wireless service in specific areas and provide services to Verizon for an initial seven year term (the “Commitment Period”).  The Commitment Period will automatically renew for up to two additional three year periods, unless Verizon provides no less than twelve months’ notice on non-renewal prior to the expiration of the then-current term.

In connection with the Agreement, Commnet has also agreed to provide Verizon with high capacity transport in its coverage area. Verizon will continue to use Commnet’s wireless communications network for roaming services at a fixed rate per site during the build period until such time as upgrades to the network to meet certain performance service level agreements for both RAN operations and transport are met. Verizon will pay Commnet an aggregate of approximately $200 million for services over the term of  the Agreement.

The Agreement may be terminated at any time upon the mutual written consent of Commnet and Verizon.  In addition, Verizon may terminate the Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, including failure to meet certain milestones or completion dates with respect to network coverage, failure to meet certain SLAs with respect to the ongoing services, the declaration of a bankruptcy event by Commnet and breach of any other material terms of the Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement.  A redacted copy of the Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

Universal Service Fund and Connect America Fund Phase II Programs

We recognize revenue from several government funded programs including the USF, a subsidy program managed by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), and the Alaska Universal Service Fund (“AUSF”), a similar program managed by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (the “RCA”)., and the Emergency Connectivity Fund (“ECF”), a program to help schools and libraries support remote learning in underserved communities. USF funds are disbursed to telecommunication providers through four programs: the High Cost Program; the Low Income Program (“Lifeline Program”); the Schools and Libraries Program (“E-Rate Program”); and the Rural Health Care Support Program.  

We also recognize revenue from the Connect America Fund Phase II program (“CAF II”) which offers subsidies to carriers to expand broadband coverage in designated areas. Under CAF II, our US Telecom segment will receive an aggregate of $27.7 million annually through December 2025 and an aggregate of $8.0 million annually from January 2026 through July 2028.

BothAll of the USF and CAFII programs are subject to certain operational and reporting compliance requirements. We believe we are in compliance with these requirements as of June 30, 2022.2023.

In 2018, the FCC initiated a proceeding to replace the High Cost Program support received by Viya in the US Virgin Islands with a new Connect USVI Fund. On November 16, 2020, the FCC announced that Viya was not the recipient of the Connect USVI Fund award and authorized funding to be issued to the new awardee in June 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the program and effective in July 2021, Viya’s annual USF support was reduced from $16.4 million to $10.9 million. In July 2022, this support will bewas reduced again to $5.5 million for the annual period through June 2023. Thereafter, Viya will not receive High Cost Program support.  In April of 2023, the FCC issued an order extending the high cost support in the US Virgin Islands at the current $5.5 million per year received from July 2023 through December 31, 2025.  In connection with this order, the FCC requires that we maintain our current footprint for voice and broadband services in the US Virgin Islands.

RDOF (“Rural Digital Opportunities Fund”)

We expect to receive approximately $20.1$22.7 million over 10 years to provide broadband and voice coverage to over 10,000 households in the United States (not including Alaska) under the 2020 Rural Digital Opportunity Fund Phase I Auction (“RDOF”). WeDuring the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $0.6 million and $0.5 million of revenue from the RDOF program, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $1.2 million and $1.0 million, of revenue from the RDOF program, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Construction Grants

We have also been awarded construction grants to build network connectivity for eligible communities. The funding of these grants, used to reimburse us for our construction costs, is generally distributed upon completion of a project. As of December 31, 2021, we had been awarded approximately $27.9 million of such grants. We were awarded $0.4 million of additional grantsCompletion deadlines begin in September 2023 and cancelled $2.1 million of previously awarded grants during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Of this $26.2 million of retained awards, we have completed our construction obligations on $17.1 million of these projects and $9.1 million of such construction obligations remain with completion deadlines beginning in June 2023. Onceonce these projects are constructed, we are obligated to provide service to the participants. We expect to meet all requirements associated with these grants.grants, with the exception of grants we have transferred to third parties, as described below.  A roll forward of our grant awards is below (in thousands).

In addition, we partner with tribal governments to obtain grants under the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program ("TBCP").  The TBCP is a program administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to deploy broadband connectivity on tribal lands.  We were identified as a sub recipient of TBCP grants totaling $139.0 million as of June 30, 2023.

Replace and Remove Program

On July 15, 2022, we were notified that we were an approved participant in the Federal Communication Commission’s Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program (the “Replace and Remove Program”), designed to reimburse providers of communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of covered communications equipment or services, that have been deemed to pose a national security risk, from their networks. Pursuant to the Replace and Remove Program, we were allocated up to approximately $207 million in reimbursement amounts to cover documented and approved costs to remove and securely destroy all ZTEprohibited communications equipment and services in our U.S. networks and replace such equipment. The Replace and Remove Program requires that we complete our first request for reimbursement for services performed under the program no later than July 14, 2023 and that we complete the project no later than one year from submitting our initial reimbursement request. We are currently assessing the impact ofrequest, or by July 2024. At this program on our financial statements and anticipatestime, we anticipate that we will be able to meet the deadlines and requirements of the program.

CBRS Auction At June 30, 2023, we established a receivable for $21.0 million of costs for which we expect to be reimbursed under the program.

During the third quarter of 2020, we participated in the FCC’s Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) auction for Priority Access Licenses (PALs) in the 3.5 GHz spectrum band. These PALs are licensed on a county-by-county basis and are awarded for a 10-year renewable term. We were a winning bidder for PALs located strategically throughout the United States at a total cost of approximately $20.4 million. In the third quarter of 2022, we surrendered a portion of the PALs that we won in the auction in exchange for repayment of the approximately $1.1 million paid for such licenses and entered into a Consent Decree with the FCC with respect to such surrender and receipt of the remaining licenses. In connection with the awarded licenses, we will have to achieve certain CBRS spectrum build out obligations. We currently expect to comply with all applicable requirements related to these licenses.

Presentation of Revenue

Effective July 1, 2021, we began to categorize Mobility revenue and Fixed revenue as either “consumer” or “business” based upon the characteristics of our subscribers.  Effective October 1, 2021, our statement of operations

separately reflects Construction revenue. All periods presented have been adjusted to conform to these presentation updates.

Presentation of Operating Expenses

Effective January 1, 2021, we changed our presentation of operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations by combining the previously disclosed Termination and Access Fees with Engineering and Operations as the newly represented Cost of communications services and other. In addition, the previously disclosed Sales, Marketing and Customer Service expenses are now combined with the previously disclosed General and Administrative expenses within the newly represented Selling, General and Administrative expenses. The change in presentation was made to better align our results with industry standards. Cost of construction services continues to be broken out separately and all depreciation and amortization continues to be shown separately.

As a result of the above, our US Telecom segment’s operating loss decreasedincreased by $0.3$2.1 million to a loss of $0.3$2.4 million from a loss of $0.6$0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Renewable Energy.  Until the completion of the Vibrant Transaction on January 27, 2021, we distributed generation solar power to commercial and industrial customers under the Vibrant name in India. Accordingly, we did not generate revenue or incur operating expenses within our Renewable Energy segment subsequent to that date.

Communications Services Revenue

Mobility Revenue. Our Mobility revenue consists of retail revenue generated within both our International Telecom and US Telecom segments by providing retail mobile voice and data services over our wireless networks as well as through the sale and repair services of related equipment, such as handsets and other accessories, to our retail subscribers.

Mobility revenue increased by $1.6$1.0 million, or 6.3%3.7%, to $27.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $26.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $25.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.2022. Of this increase, $2.3Mobility revenue from consumer customers increased by $1.4 million, related to an increasepartially offset by a reduction in Mobility revenue from business customers while revenue from consumers declined by $0.7of $0.4 million.

The increase in Mobility revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:

International TelecomTelecom. . Within our International Telecom segment, Mobility revenue increased by $2.2$1.9 million, or 9.6%7.6%, to $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.2022. The increase in Mobility revenue increasedwithin this segment was recognized in eachall of our international markets as total revenue from business customers increased by $2.4 million partially offset by a reductionand was attributable to an increase in revenue from consumers of $0.2 million. The net increases were theas a result of improved retail andcustomer care, marketing strategies and network upgrades and expansions which leadled to an increase in subscribers in all of our markets and an increase in equipment and services revenues in certain markets.sales.

US Telecom. Mobility revenue within our US Telecom segment decreased by $0.5$0.9 million, or 20.8%47.4%, to $1.9$1.0 million from $2.4$1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively, as a resultrespectively. Substantially all of the decrease related to a decrease in subscribersrevenue from consumers within our retail operations.operations due to a decrease in subscribers.

Mobility revenue within our International Telecom segment may increase as a result of our marketing efforts to increase the number of our subscribers. However, increased competition may limit revenue growth from mobility services. We expect that Mobility revenue within both our US Telecom and International Telecom segments may increasesegment will decrease over time as a result of an increase in subscribers if certain COVID-19 travel related restrictions continue to be lifted. However, such growth in both segments may be partially offset due to increased competition, and if COVID-19 related travel restrictions are reinstated so as to result in significant business interruptions and retail store closures.we put more emphasis on other revenue sources within that segment.

Apart from possible government issued travel restrictions, we currently cannot assess how the impact of COVID-19 may influence our subscribers’ procurement behavior for our services or how that behavior will affect our Mobility revenues in the foreseeable future.

Fixed Revenue.Fixed revenue is primarily generated by broadband, voice, and video service revenues provided to retail and business customers over our wireline networks. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment also includes revenueawards from the Connect America Fund Phase II program awards in the western United States and Alaska, as well as revenue from the Alaska Universal Service Fund. Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue also includes funding under the FCC’s High Cost Program in the US Virgin Islands.

Fixed revenue increased by $44.4 million,$8.6 million, or 68.3%7.9%, to $109.4$118.0 million from $65.0$109.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. Of this increase, $30.0$4.0 million relatesand $4.5 million relate to increases in revenue from business and consumer customers, while the remaining increase of $14.4 million pertains to consumers.respectively. The increase in Fixed revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:

Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue decreasedincreased by $0.8$1.4 million, or 1.4%2.4%, to $58.3$59.7 million from $59.1$58.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Network upgrades and 2021, respectively, primarily as a resultexpansions, increased marketing activities and improved customer care led to an increase in fixed subscribers and equipment sales. Fixed subscriber and revenue growth resulted from an increase in the number of homes passed by high-speed data solutions which allowed us to migrate many legacy copper customers to more high-speed data services. This increase, however, was partially offset by the previously disclosed and scheduled $1.4 million reduction in revenue from the FCC’s High Cost Program within our Viya operations. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in revenue from fixed broadband fiber subscribers and services to further enable and support remote working in our markets.

US Telecom. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment increased by $45.1$7.1 million, or 13.9%, to $51.0$58.1 million from $5.9$51.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. This increase was related to the Alaska Transaction, which generated $44.1 million of Fixed revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and a $1.0 million increase, within the western United States,primarily related to an increase in usage for bothrevenue from business customers in Alaska, the revenue impact of the Sacred Wind Transaction, and consumer subscribers to supportincreases from our subscribers’ increase in their remote working.western United States operations.

Such decreases, however, may be partially offset as a result of an increase in demand for broadband subscribersand other data services from consumers, businesses and government, driven by such trends as workers continue to shift to remote working, subscribers adopting higher bandwidth offerings at higher price pointsthe popularity of video and audio streaming, demand for cloud services and smart home, business and city solutions as well as macro-economic and population growth in connection with certain new contracts with oilplaces like the Cayman Islands and gas providers in Guyana.

Within our US Telecom segment, Fixed revenue is expected to increase as both our Alaska operations and our western United States operations, including the impact of the Sacred Wind Transaction, further deploy broadband access to both consumers and businesses.

Apart from possible government issued travel restrictions, we currently cannot assess how the impact of any COVID-19 restrictions may influence our subscribers’ procurement behavior for our services or how that behavior will affect our Fixed revenue in the foreseeable future.

Carrier Services Revenue. Carrier Services revenue is generated by both our International Telecom and US Telecom segments. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes international long-distance services, roaming revenues generated by other carriers’ customers roaming into our retail markets, transport services and access services provided to other telecommunications carriers. Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes services provided under the FirstNet Transaction, wholesale roaming revenues, the provision of network switching services, tower lease revenue and other services provided to other carriers.

Carrier Services revenue increased by $12.6$0.3 million, or 55.8%0.9%, to $35.2$35.5 million from $22.6$35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. The increase, within our segments, consisted of the following:

International Telecom. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue increased by $0.9 $0.5 million, or 36.0%14.7%, to $3.4$3.9 million from $2.5$3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, as a result of an increase in tourism, primarily within the US Virgin Islands and Bermuda, that resulted in increasedan increase in roaming revenues.

US Telecom. Carrier Services revenue within our US Telecom segment increaseddecreased by $11.8$0.2 million, or 59.0%0.6%, to $31.8$31.6 million from $20.0 million,$31.8 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively, primarily as arespectively. This decrease was the result of a decrease in our wholesale long-distance voice services business. Such decreases were partially offset by the Alaskaimpact of the Sacred Wind Transaction which generated $15.4 million of Carrier Services revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and an increase within our wholesale long-distance voice services business of $0.6 million. These increases were partially offset by the $4.2 million revenue reduction in our western United States operations as a result of the restructure of certain carrier contracts.Alaska operations.

Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue may continue to increase if tourism continues to move toward a return to pre-pandemic levels. Apart from possible government issued travel restrictions, we currently cannot assess how the impact of COVID-19 may influence our subscribers’ procurement behavior for our services or how that behavior will affect our revenues in the foreseeable future. Also,However, within our International Telecom segment, we expect that Carrier Services revenue from our international long-distancelong distance business in Guyana may decrease as consumers seek to use alternative technology services to place long-distance calls. In addition, such revenue may decline as the result of the implementation, by the Government of Guyana, of passed legislation which terminates our right to be the exclusive provider of domestic Fixed and international long-distance service in Guyana. While the loss of our exclusive rights may cause an immediate reduction in our Carrier Services revenue, the complete impact of the new legislation to our operations will not be fully known until the Government of Guyana makes the terms and conditions of licenses issued to two of our competitors available to us. Over the longer term, such declines in Carrier Services revenue may be offset by increased Fixed revenue from broadband services to consumers and enterprises in Guyana, increased Mobility revenue from an increase in regulated local calling rates in Guyana or possible economic growth within that country.

Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue may decrease from the impactincrease as a result of continued reduced contractual wholesale roaming ratesrecent carrier service management contracts and imposed revenue caps with our Carrier customers. We believe that maintaining roaming favorable to our carrier customers allows us to preserve revenue for a longer period of time while creating the potential for long-lived shared infrastructure solutions for carriersexpected growth in areas they may consider to be non-strategic.

Table of Contents

The most significant competitive factor we face within our US Telecom segment is the extent to which our carrier customers in our wholesale carrier services business choose to roam on our networks and lease our tower space and transport services or elect to build or acquire their own infrastructure in a market, reducing or eliminating their need for our services in those markets. We also face competition from other providers of such shared infrastructure solutions. In the past, we have entered into buildout projects with existing carrier customers to help these customers accelerate the buildout of a given area in exchange for the carrier’s agreement to lease us spectrum in that area and enter into a contract with specific pricing and terms. Historically, these arrangements have differed from our FirstNet Transaction and have typically included a purchase right in favor of the carrier to purchase that portion of the network for a predetermined price, depending on when the right to purchase is exercised.

Other Communications Services Revenue. Other Communications Services revenue includes miscellaneous services that the operations within our International Telecom segment provide to retail subscribers. Other Communications Services revenue increased to $0.4$0.5 million from $0.2$0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.

Construction Revenue

Construction revenue represents revenue generated within our US Telecom segment for the construction of network cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, Construction revenue decreased to $3.3$1.0 million from $9.3$3.3 million, respectively, as a result of a decrease in the number of sites completed during the three months ended June 30, 20222023 as compared to 2022. We expect to substantially complete the same period in 2021. Asbuild by the end of June 30, 2022, 65% of the cell sites related to the FirstNet Agreement were completed and we expect another 20% of the total build to be completed during second half of 20222023 with the remainder to be completed in early 2023.

Operating Expenses

Cost of communication services and other. Cost of communication services and other are charges that we incur for voice and data transport circuits (in particular, the circuits between our Mobility sites and our switches), internet capacity, video programming costs, access fees we pay to terminate our calls, telecommunication spectrum fees and direct costs associated within our managed services businesses. Cost of communication services and otherThese costs also includesinclude expenses associated with developing, operating, upgrading and supporting our telecommunications networks, including the salaries and benefits paid to employees directly involved in the development and operation of those businesses, as well as bad debt reservescredit loss allowances and the cost of handsets and customer resale equipment incurred by our retail businesses.

Transaction-related charges.  Transaction-related charges include the external costs, such as legal, tax, accounting and consulting fees directly associated with acquisition and disposition-related activities, which are expensed as incurred. Transaction-related charges also include certain internal personnel costs incurred as a result of the completion of an acquisition or disposition. Transaction-related charges do not include internal costs, such as employee salary and travel-related expenses, incurred in connection with acquisitions or dispositions or any integration-related costs.

We incurred $0.4 million and $1.4 million of transaction-related charges primarily related to the Alaska Transaction, during the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021, respectively.2022.

Restructuring expenses. In connection with our repositioning of our legacy wholesale roaming operations in our US Telecom segment, we recorded a $0.4 million restructuring charge during the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily related to the decommissioning of certain cell sites.

 Depreciation and amortization expenses.  Depreciation and amortization expenses represent the depreciation and amortization charges we record on our property and equipment.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $14.1$2.4 million, or 71.6%7.1%, to $33.8$36.2 million from $19.7$33.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. The net increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, within our segments, consisted primarily of the following:

International Telecom. Depreciation and amortization expenses increaseddecreased within our International Telecom segment by $1.7$1.0 million, or 12.7%6.6%, to $15.1$14.1 million from $13.4$15.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively. This increase wasrespectively, as a result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated in recent upgrades and expansions to this segment’s network.periods.

US Telecom. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased within our US Telecom segment by $12.7$3.6 million, or 20.2%, to $17.8$21.4 million from $5.1$17.8 million, for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, primarily as a result of the Alaska Transaction.
impact of the Sacred Wind Transaction, which was completed in November 2022, and the depreciation expense recorded on recent capital expenditures.

Corporate Overhead. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased within our corporate overhead by $0.3 million, or 23.1%30.0%, to $1.0$0.7 million from $1.3$1.0 million, for the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, primarily as a result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated in recent periods.

We expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase within all of our International Telecom and US Telecom segments as we acquire tangible assets to expand or upgrade our telecommunications networks.

Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions. Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions include the amortization of customer relationships and trade names related to our completed acquisitions.

Amortization of intangibles from acquisitions increaseddecreased by $2.9$0.2 million to $3.3$3.1 million from $0.4$3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively,respectively.

We expect that amortization of intangibles from acquisitions will decrease as a result of the Alaska Transaction.such costs continue to amortize.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, other income (expenses) was $2.7 million of expense primarily related to expenses associated with certain employee benefit plans, losses from our noncontrolling investments and losses on foreign currency transactions.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, other income (expenses) was an expense of $­­­0.1 million which was primarily related to losses from our noncontrolling investments and on foreign currency transactions. These losses were partially offset by miscellaneous income generated during the quarter.

Income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 88.5% and 2021 was 75.2% and (88.2%),75.2 % respectively.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $5.1 million in relation to a pretax loss of $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate, (ii) net expense related to valuation allowances placed on certain deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realizable based on the weight of positive and negative evidence and (iii) discrete items including a $4.0 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration and a $0.7 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $4.0 million in relation to a pre-tax loss of $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily impacted by the following items (i) the mix of income generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate and (ii) discrete items including a $3.3 million benefit from the reversal of an unrecognized tax position due to a statute of limitations expiration and a $0.3 million expense for interest on unrecognized tax positions.

Our effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. Our consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by any transactional or onetimeone-time items in the future and the mix of income in any given year generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate. While we believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from our accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex applications of tax law and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include

As a result of the above, our US Telecom segment’s operating loss increased by $3.8$1.8 million, or 36.7%, to a loss of $4.9$6.7 million from a loss of $1.1$4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Renewable Energy.  Until the completion of the Vibrant Transaction on January 27, 2021, we distributed generation solar power to commercial and industrial customers under the Vibrant name in India. Accordingly, we did not generate revenue or incur operating expenses within our Renewable Energy segment subsequent to that date. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we generated revenue, incurred operating expenses and reported an operating loss of $0.4 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

Our effective tax rate is based upon estimated income before provision for income taxes for the year, composition of the income in different countries, and adjustments, if any, in the applicable quarterly periods for potential tax consequences, benefits and/or resolutions of tax contingencies. Our consolidated tax rate will continue to be impacted by any transactional or onetimeone-time items in the future and the mix of income in any given year generated among the jurisdictions in which we operate. While we believe we have adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could materially differ from our accrued positions as a result of uncertain and complex applications of tax law and regulations. Additionally, the recognition and measurement of certain tax benefits include estimates and judgments by management. Accordingly, we could record additional provisions or benefits for US federal, state, and foreign tax matters in future periods as new information becomes available.

Regulatory and Tax Issues

We are involved in a number ofseveral regulatory and tax proceedings. A material and adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and future operations. For a discussion of ongoing proceedings, see Note 14 toof the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Report.

Tax Reform

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017, has resulted in significant changes to the US corporate income tax system and the US Virgin Islands mirror code which replaces “United States” with “US Virgin Islands” throughout the Internal Revenue Code. The Tax Act transitions international taxation from a worldwide system to a modified territorial system and includes two base erosion prevention measures on non-US earnings, which has the effect of subjecting certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to US taxation as global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), eliminates the deduction of certain payments made to related foreign corporations, and imposes a minimum tax if greater than regular tax under the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”). These changes became effective beginning in 2018 but did not have an impact on us in the initial or following years. Based on our forecasted income for 2022, we are not currently projecting a GILTI inclusion. We do not expect we will be subject to BEAT and therefore have not included any tax impacts of BEAT in our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have met our operational liquidity needs and have funded our capital expenditures and acquisitions through a combination of cash-on-hand, internally generated funds, proceeds from dispositions, borrowings under our credit facilities and seller financings. We believe our current cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and availability under our current credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next twelve months for working capital needs and capital expenditures.

While there can be no assurance as to whether, when or on what terms we will be able to acquire any such businesses or licenses or make such investments, such acquisitions may be completed through the issuance of shares of our capital stock, payment of cash or incurrence of additional debt. From time to time, we may raise capital ahead of any definitive use of proceeds to allow us to move more quickly and opportunistically if an attractive investment materializes.

We also incurred expenditures of $1.4 million and $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for strategic investments. Partially offsetting these expenditures were cash receipts of $1.8 million and $18.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for the proceeds from the Vibrant Transaction and a receipt of $3.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 for certain government grants.

These increases in cash provided by financing activities were partially offset by thea reduction in borrowings, net of repayments under our customer receivable credit facility of $1.0 million and a $1.3 million increase in our repayments under those facilities of $25.4 million. Other significant changes in financing activities included the decreases in payments made for the repurchase of noncontrolling interests in our less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, distributions made to the minority stockholders of our less than wholly-owned subsidiaries and the repurchase ofdividends paid on our common stock of $8.2 million, $3.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Foreign Currency

We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies, primarily the Guyana Dollar, to US Dollars at the appropriate rates as of the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying value of these assets and liabilities attributable to fluctuations in rates are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our balance sheet. Income statement accounts are translated using the monthly average exchange rates during the year. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is different from a reporting entity’s functional currency must first be remeasured from the applicable currency to the legal entity’s functional currency. The effect of this remeasurement process is reported in other income within our income statement. During the three months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, we recorded $0.2 $0.4 million and $0.3$0.2 million, respectively, inof losses on foreign currency transactions. During each of the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, we recorded $0.6 million and $0.4 million, inrespectively, of losses on foreign currency transactions. We will continue to assess the impact of our exposure to the Guyana Dollar.

Inflation

Several of our markets have experienced increasesan increase in operating costs, some of which we believe, areis attributable to inflation. If inflation continues or worsens, it could negatively impact our Company by increasing our operating expenses. Inflation may lead to cost increases in multiple areas across our business, for example, rises in the prices of raw materials and manufactured goods, increased energy rates, as well as increased wage pressures and other expenses related to our employees. In particular, where we have agreed to undertake infrastructure build outs on a fixed budget for our carrier customers or by accepting government grants, inflation may result in build costs that exceed our original budget given the long delays experienced in procuring equipment and materials due to global supply chain delays. To the extent that we are unable to pass on these costs through increased prices, revised budget estimates, or offset them in other ways, they may impact our financial condition and cash flows.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Translation and Remeasurement.  We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies, primarily the Guyana Dollar, to US Dollars at the appropriate rates as of the balance sheet date. Changes in the carrying value of these assets and liabilities attributable to fluctuations in rates are recognized in foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on our balance sheet. Income statement accounts are translated using the monthly average exchange rates during the year.   

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is different from a reporting entity’s functional currency must first be remeasured from the applicable currency to the legal entity’s functional currency. The effect of this remeasurement process is reported in other income on our income statement.

Employee Benefit Plans. We sponsor pension and other postretirement benefit plans for employees of certain subsidiaries.  Net periodic pension expense is recognized in our income statement. We recognize a pension or other postretirement plan’s funded status as either an asset or liability in our consolidated balance sheet.  Actuarial gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income and amortized through other income in subsequent periods.

Interest Rate Sensitivity.As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had $301.8$390.8 million of outstanding variable rate debt outstanding, which is subject to fluctuations in interest rates.  Our interest expense may be affected by changes in interest rates.  We believe that a 100-basis-point change in the interest rates on our variable rate debt would result in a $3.1$3.9 million change in our annual interest expense.  We may have additional exposure to fluctuations in interest rates if we again borrow amounts under our revolver loans within our credit facilities.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022.2023. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), meansmean controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified inby the SEC’sSecurities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions 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-benefitcost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022,2023, 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.  Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

We may not be able to consummate our merger with Sacred Wind on a timely basis or at all.

On July 26, 2022, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sacred Wind Enterprises, Inc. (“Sacred Wind”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Sacred Wind stock (the “SWE Transaction”). The SWE Transaction remains subject to customary closing terms and conditions including (i) obtaining the necessary consents of third parties, including the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), (ii) obtaining the consent of the Rural Utility Service to the continuation of Sacred Wind’s current loan facilities, and (iii) the absence of certain legal impediments.  There can be no guarantee that the regulatory authorities will grant such required approvals.  In addition, the FCC may impose conditions on any approval, such as requiring the divestiture of certain markets and spectrum licenses. These conditions, if imposed and if sufficiently significant, may permit Sacred Wind not to consummate the transaction or may have other negative impacts on our business.

If we are able to successfully consummate the SWE Transaction, we may have difficulties integrating its operations and its business and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The SWE Transaction will occur as we are engaged in the transformation of our rural Southwest business from a primarily wholesale wireless business to a rural broadband and carrier service business model. We anticipate that the SWE Transaction will contribute to business transformation needed in our US Telecom segment by growing our fiber assets and increasing internal operational experience running those fiber assets. The complexities of the integration and expansion of Sacred Wind’s operations are not yet known, and our team will be executing on the integration alongside the transformation of our existing business. We have devoted and will continue to devote a significant amount of time and attention to integrating these operations with our existing operations. If we have difficulties with the integration or transition process, it could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are reliant on government funding to comply with the FCC’s “Replace and Remove” Program.

A number of our equipment suppliers and vendors are based outside the United States, with China serving as a significant non-US source for our telecommunications network equipment in the United States. The FCC, and other governmental restrictions on the procurement of equipment and services from certain Chinese vendors, will result in a costly network replacement build in our western United States operations that, if not offset by government support, could adversely affect our results of operations. We have been allocated more than $207 million to reimburse us for our demonstrated costs attributable to the FCC’s Replace and Remove Program for our Chinese vendor equipment and services, however, due to a universal reduction in funding to all applicants in the Replace and Remove Program by the FCC, this represents less than the total amount of funding that we initially applied for.  Although Congress is currently considering increasing funding to the FCC for the Replace and Remove Program, there can be no assurances that the FCC will actually receive such additional funding, that it will allocate any such additional funds to us, or that any such funds will be adequate to completely remove, securely destroy, and replace all prohibited equipment from our network.

In addition, the FCC has mandated an aggressive timeline for the completion of the Replace and Remove Program, requiring that participants only receive funding in reimbursement for costs incurred in program-related activities, and that the initial reimbursement request be submitted no later than July 14, 2023. In addition, we must complete the project no later than one year after submitting our initial reimbursement request, in effect requiring that build activities be concluded no later than July 2024. If we are unable to complete the removal and replacement in that time frame, cannot secure advanced funding for the program activities on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us,

or have underestimated the cost of replacement, it could adversely affect our ability to operate, maintain or expand our domestic network infrastructure.

Changes in interest rates and credit markets could impact our ability to service and expand our financing.

We require a significant amount of capital to expand our networks and grow our business that we fund partially from cash from operations and in part from borrowings under our credit facilities.  Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the U.S. Federal Reserve.  Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could increase our costs of borrowing.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

On September 19, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of our common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (the “2016 Repurchase Plan”).  We have $19.5$12.6 million available to be repurchased under that plan as of June 30, 2022.
