The Company’s solutions for wired and wireless networks enable service providers including cable, telephone and digital broadcast satellite operators and media programmers to deliver media, voice, Internet Protocol (IP) data services and Wi-Fi to their subscribers and allow enterprises to experience constant, wireless and wired connectivity across complex and varied networking environments. The Company’s solutions are complemented by a broad array of services including technical support, systems design and integration. CommScope is a leader in digital video and IP television distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms and equipment that delivers data and voice networks to homes. CommScope’s global leadership position is built upon innovative technology, broad solution offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions, and global manufacturing and distribution scale.

On April 4, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of ARRIS International plc (ARRIS) (the Acquisition) in an all-cash transaction with a total purchase price of approximately $7.7 billion, including debt assumed. See Note 2 for additional discussion of the Acquisition.

As of January 1, 2020, the Company reorganized its internal management and reporting structure as part of the integration of the Acquisition. The reorganization changed the information regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, the Company now reports financial performance for the 2020 year based on four operating segments: Broadband Networks (Broadband), Home Networks (Home), Outdoor Wireless Networks (OWN) and Venue and Campus Networks (VCN). These four segments represent non-aggregated reportable operating segments. Prior to this change, the Company operated and reported five operating segments: Connectivity Solutions, Mobility Solutions, Customer Premises Equipment, Network and Cloud and Ruckus Networks. All prior period amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In the second quarter of 2021, management shifted certain product lines from the Company’s Broadband Networks (Broadband) segment to its Home Networks (Home) segment to better align with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. All prior period amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (the ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report). The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report. ~~Other than the enhancements described below to the allowance for doubtful accounts policy as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, there~~There were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three or six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~

Trade accounts receivable and contract assets for unbilled receivables are stated at the amount owed by the customer, net of allowances for estimated doubtful accounts, discounts, returns and rebates. The Company measures the allowance for doubtful accounts using an expected credit loss model, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade accounts receivable and contract assets. To measure the expected credit losses, trade accounts receivable and contract assets are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. Contract assets relate to unbilled work in progress and have substantially the same risk characteristics as trade accounts receivable for the same types of contracts. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the expected loss rates for trade accounts receivables are a reasonable approximation of the loss rates for the contract assets.

In calculating an allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate expected credit losses using an aging method. The Company assesses impairment of trade accounts receivable on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics which have been grouped based on the days past due.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over the preceding thirty-six months and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle their trade accounts receivable.2021.

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over various periods, depending upon the product subject to the warranty and the terms of the individual agreements. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty claims as cost of sales based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales and specifically identified warranty issues. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and revises its estimates, as appropriate, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that revisions may be necessary. Such revisions may be material.

The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities:

The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in certain other pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these other pending legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition.

In addition, the Company is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, discharge, disposal and remediation of hazardous materials. Compliance with current laws and regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of the reporting unit may exceed its fair value. ~~See Notes 3~~In the second quarter of 2021, the Company assessed goodwill for impairment due to a change in the composition of reporting units.

Assets identified as impaired are adjusted to estimated fair value. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are evaluated each reporting period for impairment based on a qualitative assessment and are then measured at fair value if an impairment is determined to exist. Other than certain assets impaired as a result of restructuring actions, there were 0 definite-lived intangible or other long-lived asset impairments identified during the three or six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 or ~~2019.~~

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.4% and 10.7%, respectively, and the Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.6 million on a pretax loss of $154.4 million and a tax benefit of $30.1 million on a pretax loss of $281.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by $37.3 million related to a foreign tax rate change as well as impacts of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at rates higher than the United States (U.S.) statutory rate, foreign withholding taxes and U.S. anti-deferral provisions. These unfavorable impacts were offset partially by decreases in prior year uncertain tax positions and adjustments related to the finalization of prior year’s tax returns.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 4.5% and 8.8%, respectively, and the Company recognized a tax benefit of $15.1 million on a pretax loss of $336.2 million and $46.5 million on a pretax loss of $527.5 million, respectively. The Company’s tax benefit was ~~less than the statutory rate of 21.0%~~unfavorably impacted in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 ~~primarily due to~~by a goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million for which minimal tax benefits were recorded and $20.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of tax expense related to state valuation allowances. Excess tax costs of $3.7 million and $7.8 million related to equity compensation awards also impacted the tax benefit unfavorably for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 10.1% and 9.6%, respectively, and the Company recognized a tax benefit of $37.5 million on a pretax loss of $371.5 million and a tax benefit of $35.9 million on a pretax loss of $372.2 million, respectively. The Company’s tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by the impact of U.S. anti-deferral provisions and foreign withholding taxes, but this impact was partially offset by the favorable impact of federal tax credits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The impact of excess tax costs related to equity-based compensation awards was 0t material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Basic earnings (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss), less any dividends and deemed dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The numerator in diluted EPS is based on the basic EPS numerator adjusted to add back any dividends and deemed dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock, subject to antidilution requirements. The denominator used in diluted EPS is based on the basic EPS computation plus the effect of potentially dilutive common shares related to the Convertible Preferred Stock and equity-based compensation plans, subject to antidilution requirements.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 10.4 million and 12.9 million shares, respectively, of outstanding equity-based compensation awards were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met. Of those amounts, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 4.4 million and 5.4 million shares, respectively, would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 17.0 million and 16.6 million shares, respectively, of outstanding equity-based compensation awards were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance conditions were not met. Of those amounts, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 4.3 million and 4.4 million shares, respectively, would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019, 12.2~~2021, 37.9 million of as-if converted shares ~~and 8.9 million shares, respectively,~~related to the Convertible Preferred Stock were ~~not included in~~excluded from the ~~computation of~~ diluted ~~EPS~~share count because ~~the effect was either antidilutive or the performance conditions~~they were not met. Of those amounts, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 2.2 million shares and 2.5 million shares, respectively, would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 36.9 million and 36.6 million, respectively, of as-if converted shares related to the Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from the diluted share count because they were ~~anti-dilutive; however, they would~~antidilutive. These shares may have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position.

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The new guidance is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected to improve comparability in accounting for these transactions. The amendments in this guidance clarify the interaction of accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The impact of adopting this new guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance. The impact of adopting this new guidance was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

~~On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted~~Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. ~~2016-13,~~ ~~Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and ~~subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU No. 2018-19, ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05~~Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and ~~ASU No. 2020-02 (collectively, Topic 326)~~Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.

~~The Company adopted Topic 326 using~~ the ~~modified retrospective~~if-converted method for ~~all financial assets measured at amortized cost, which are primarily trade accounts receivable and contract assets~~calculating diluted earnings per share, along with expanded disclosures. ASU No. 2020-06 is effective for the Company.

The impact of adopting Topic 326Company as of January 1, ~~2020 was not material to~~2022 and early adoption is permitted beginning January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020 and January 2021, the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board~~ ~~(FASB)~~FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, ~~which provides~~respectively. Together, the ASUs provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These transactions include contract modifications, hedging relationships, and sale or transfer of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity. The Company can elect to apply the amendments ~~as of March 12, 2020~~ through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

In the second quarter of 2021, management shifted certain product lines from the Company’s Broadband segment to its Home segment to better align the Home segment with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. This changed the composition of the Company’s reporting units which resulted in the reallocation of $13.7 million of goodwill from the Network and Cloud reporting unit to the Home Networks reporting unit.

The majority of the Company’s net sales are product sales that are recognized at a point in time. The Company does have some customer arrangements where net sales are recognized over time, but this does not represent a significant portion of consolidated net sales. Contracts with net sales recognized over time are primarily concentrated in the Broadband Networks and Venue and Campus Networks segments. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company determined that the geographic disaggregation of net sales by segment is a more meaningful disaggregation of net sales than net sales disaggregated based on the timing of the transfer of goods, given the relatively low level of net sales recognized over time. Therefore, the presentation of net sales by geographic region in Note 7 has been expanded to include segments and the presentation of net sales based on the timing of the transfer of goods has been eliminated.

The following table provides the ~~FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method~~balance sheet location and ~~Joint Ventures (Topic 323),~~amounts of contract assets, or unbilled accounts receivable, and ~~Derivatives~~contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, from contracts with customers as of June 30, 2021 and ~~Hedging (Topic 815).~~ ~~The new guidance is based on a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force and is expected~~December 31, 2020.

There were no material changes to increase comparability in accounting for these transactions. The amendments in this guidance clarify the interaction of accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815.

~~In December 2019 the FASB issued ASU No.~~ ~~2019-12,~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes~~. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifying and amending existing guidance.

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

On April 4, 2019, the Company acquired all of the issued ordinary shares of ARRIS in an all cash transaction with a total consideration of approximately $7.7 billion, including debt assumed. ARRIS is a global leader in entertainment, communications and networking technology. The combined company is expected to drive profitable growth in new markets, shape the future of wired and wireless communications, and position the Company to benefit from key industry trends, including network convergence, fiber and mobility everywhere, 5G, Internet of Things and rapidly changing network and technology architectures.

~~During the first quarter of 2020, the Company completed its acquisition accounting and made the following adjustments to the provisional amounts that were previously recorded:~~

~~The Company recorded these amounts as measurement period adjustments because the information was known as of the acquisition date but the analysis was finalized in the first quarter of 2020.~~

The Company’s change in segments as of January 1, 2020 resulted in a realignment of its existing reporting units. Although the reporting units were realigned under the new segments, the Company’s reporting units remained the same except for where two reporting units have been combined into a new reporting unit. In this case, goodwill was simply combined in the new reporting units. Since the composition of the reporting units and the assignment of goodwill to the reporting units were unaffected, an interim goodwill impairment test due to the change in segments was not performed in the first quarter of 2020.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company determined that indicators of goodwill impairment existed for the Home Networks reporting unit due to lower projected operating results, primarily from the accelerated decline in video devices. This trend is projected to continue as consumers adopt the use of other streaming applications and has been further impacted by the macro-economic effects caused by the new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of 2020 and recorded a $206.7 million goodwill impairment charge relating to the Home Networks reporting unit in the asset impairments line on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. This reflects a full impairment of the remaining goodwill in the Home segment, and as such, the Home segment has 0 remaining goodwill balance as of June 30, 2020.

Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit involves uncertainties because it requires management to develop numerous assumptions, including assumptions about the future growth and potential volatility in revenues and costs, capital expenditures, industry economic factors and future business strategy. Changes in projected revenue growth rates, projected operating income margins or estimated discount rates due to uncertain market conditions, loss of one or more key customers, changes in the Company’s strategy, changes in technology or other factors could negatively affect the fair value in one or more of the Company’s reporting units and result in a material impairment charge in the future.

There is no excess cash flow payment required in 2021 related to 2020.

The Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries held ~~$2,637~~$3,376 million, or ~~19%~~25%, of total assets and ~~$971~~$1,034 million, or 8%, of total liabilities as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and accounted for ~~$583~~$677 million, or ~~28%~~31%, and ~~$1,197~~$1,296 million, or ~~29%~~30%, of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

All amounts presented exclude intercompany balances.

The weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the impact of the interest rate swap, and the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, was ~~5.64%~~5.81% and ~~6.17%~~5.86% at June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, debt instruments, interest rate derivatives and foreign currency contracts. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 were considered representative of their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments, interest rate derivatives and foreign currency contracts were based on indicative quotes.

Fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, measurements using significant other observable inputs fall within Level 2, and measurements using significant unobservable inputs fall within Level 3.

The carrying amounts, estimated fair values and valuation input levels of the Company’s debt instruments, interest rate derivatives and foreign currency contracts as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, are as follows:

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a pretax goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million related to the Home Networks reporting unit in the Home segment (see Note 3). The fair value of the reporting unit was determined as of May 31, 2020 using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model. Under the DCF method, the fair value of a reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The inputs to the DCF model are Level 3 valuation inputs.

These fair value estimates are based on pertinent information available to management as of the valuation date. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect these fair value estimates, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented.

~~As of January 1, 2020, the~~The Company reorganized its internal management and reporting structure as part of the integration of the Acquisition. The reorganization changed the information regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, the Company is reporting financial performance based on 4 reportable segments: Broadband, Home, OWN and VCN. Thesehas four reportable segments ~~are based upon the nature of the products and services they offer.~~as described below.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as operating income (loss), adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, asset impairments, equity-based compensation, transaction, transformation and integration costs and other items that the Company believes are useful to exclude in the evaluation of operating performance from period to period because these items are not representative of the Company’s core business.

Stock options are awards that allow the recipient to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the Company’s stock price at the date of grant. These awards generally vest over ~~three to~~ five years following the grant date and have a contractual term of ten years. ~~These awards vest based on a time-based component or a combination of time and performance-based components.~~

~~The following table summarizes the stock option activity (in millions, except per share data and years):~~

~~The exercise prices of outstanding options at June 30, 2020 were in the following ranges (in millions, except per share data and years):~~

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant. Key inputs and assumptions used in the model include the grant date fair value of common stock, exercise price of the award, the expected option term, the risk-free interest rate, stock price volatility and the Company’s projected dividend yield. The expected term represents the period over which the Company’s employees are expected to hold their options. The risk-free interest rate reflects the yield on zero-coupon U.S. treasury securities with a term equal to the option’s expected term. Expected volatility is derived based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company’s projected dividend yield is 0. The Company believes the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in estimating the fair values of its stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards. Subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.

There were 0 ~~stock option awards granted during the three or six months ended June 30, 2020. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of~~ stock option awards granted during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2021 or 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following narrative is an analysis of the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. The discussion is provided to increase the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report as well as the audited consolidated financial statements, related notes thereto and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, including management’s discussion and analysis regarding the application of critical accounting policies ~~as well as~~and the risk factors ~~included~~ in our ~~2019~~ Annual Report on Form ~~10-K.~~10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Annual Report).

We discuss certain financial measures in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, including adjusted EBITDA, that differ from measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ~~(GAAP)~~(U.S. GAAP). See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures" included elsewhere in this quarterly report for more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, including our reasons for including the measures and material limitations with respect to the usefulness of the measures.

We are a global provider of infrastructure solutions for communication and entertainment networks. Our solutions for wired and wireless networks enable service providers including cable, telephone and digital broadcast satellite operators and media programmers to deliver media, voice, IPInternet Protocol (IP) data services and Wi-Fi to their subscribers and allow enterprises to experience constant wireless and wired connectivity across complex and varied networking environments. Our solutions are complemented by a broad array of services including technical support, systems design and integration. We are a leader in digital video and ~~Internet Protocol Television~~IP television distribution systems, broadband access infrastructure platforms and ~~associated~~equipment that delivers data and voice ~~Customer Premises Equipment.~~networks to homes. Our global leadership position is built upon innovative technology, broad solution offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions, and global manufacturing and distribution scale.

~~On April 4, 2019,~~In the first quarter of 2021, we ~~completed~~announced a transformation initiative referred to as CommScope NEXT designed to drive shareholder value through three pillars: focusing on strategies to drive profitable growth, undertaking a full portfolio evaluation and optimizing our business by focusing on efficiency and eliminating unnecessary non-value-added complexity and cost across the ~~acquisition~~business. We believe these efforts are critical to making us more competitive and allowing us to invest in growth and maximize shareholder and stakeholder value. We incurred $58.9 million and $103.3 million of ~~ARRIS International plc (ARRIS) (the Acquisition) in an all-cash~~restructuring costs and $21.0 million and $36.7 million of transaction, ~~with a total purchase price of approximately $7.7 billion, including debt assumed. The operations of the ARRIS business are included in our consolidated operating results for~~transformation and integration costs during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021, respectively, primarily related to CommScope NEXT. We expect to continue to incur restructuring costs and 2019; however, for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the operations of the ARRIS business are included from the date of the Acquisition. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $7.6 million and $13.0 million, respectively, of transaction, transformation and integration costs ~~and $19.6 million and $43.3 million, respectively, of restructuring costs~~ related to the Acquisition and integration activities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $167.0 million and $187.7 million, respectively, of transaction and integration costs and $46.4 million and $58.8 million, respectively, of restructuring costs related to the Acquisition and integration activities. We will continue to incur integration and restructuring costsCommScope NEXT and such costs ~~may~~are expected to be material.

As a step in our CommScope NEXT transformation plan, on April 8, 2021, we announced our plan to spin-off the Home Networks business. Below we refer to certain supplementary “Core” financial measures, which reflect the results of ~~January 1, 2020, we reorganized~~ our internal management and reporting structure as part of the integration of the Acquisition. The reorganization changed the information regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, we are reporting financial performance based on four new operating segments: Broadband Networks (Broadband)~~, Home Networks (Home)~~, Outdoor Wireless Networks (OWN) and Venue and Campus Networks (VCN). segments, in the aggregate. Our Core financial measures exclude the results and performance of our Home Networks (Home) segment. See the Segment Results section below for illustration of the aggregation of our Core financial measures. These ~~four segments~~metrics represent non-aggregated reportable operating segments. Prior to this change, we operated and reported five operating segments: Connectivity Solutions, Mobility Solutions, Customer Premises Equipment, Network and Cloud and Ruckus Networks. Our change inthe business segments as ~~of January 1, 2020 resulted in a realignment of our existing reporting units. Although~~we have reported. However, the reporting units were realigned, our reporting units remained the same except for where two reporting units have been combined into a new reporting unit. In this case, goodwill was simply combined in the new reporting units. Since the compositionultimate definition of the ~~reporting units~~Home Networks business that we expect to spin-off may vary, and the assignment of goodwill to the reporting units were unaffected, an interim goodwill impairment test was not performed due to our change in segments during the first quarter of 2020. See the discussion below under “Critical Accounting Policies” for more information regarding the interim goodwill impairment test performed duringfuture results may differ materially.

In the second quarter of ~~2020.~~ 2021, we shifted certain product lines from our Broadband segment to our Home segment to better align with how the business is being managed in light of the planned spin-off of the Home Networks business. All prior period amounts have been recast to reflect these operating segment changes.

~~In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the new strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic and the United States (U.S.) declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The~~ COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted regional and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and certain jurisdictions, including those where we have operations, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, social distancing protocols and restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate. While we have been deemed an “essential” (or equivalent) business in many jurisdictions and therefore have been permitted to continue most of our operations in those jurisdictions, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance has included temporary closures of our facilities and the facilities of certain of our customers, suppliers and other vendors in our supply chain. CommScope has taken measures to protect the health and safety of our employees (including implementing new and increased cleaning procedures, health screenings, safety protocols and social distancing requirements where appropriate), work with our customers and vendors to minimize potential disruptions and support our community in addressing the challenges posed by this global pandemic.Update

The COVID-19 outbreak ~~impacted~~had an adverse impact on our financial performance ~~during the three and six months ended June 30,~~in 2020 ~~as discussed more below, particularly in our VCN and Home segments. While the impact in the first quarter 2020 was~~ primarily related to decreased demand, supply constraints due to the temporary shutdown of certain of our ~~factories in Suzhou, China, the impact in the second quarter included a combination of supply constraints,~~facilities and increased business continuity ~~costs~~costs. We took a variety of actions in 2020 to help mitigate the financial impacts such as headcount reductions, lower capital spending and ~~demand impacts. Currently, most CommScope factories are fully operational,but we have experienced periodic, temporary factory closures in certain jurisdictions due to health concerns. From a demand standpoint,~~lower discretionary spending.

The recovery in demand has ~~been negatively impacted due~~also had unfavorable business impacts, including commodity inflation (primarily copper and resins), logistics cost increases and certain component part shortages. We expect certain of these unfavorable impacts to social distancing measures and the general economic slowdown. We currently expect the decline in revenue caused by the economic slowdown due to COVID-19 to persist through 2020. Additionally, we took a number of actions to reduce our operating costs and manage our balance sheet in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including headcount reductions, improved working capital management, lower capital spending and suspension of certain discretionary spending.continue into 2022.

The extent of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, including new variants, the effectiveness and adoption of vaccines and related actions taken by domestic and international jurisdictions to maintain and prevent disease spread, and the extent of any financial recession resulting from the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. ~~We considered~~

The below are highlights of our results for the ~~impact~~three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods. Core financial measures reflect the results of our Broadband, OWN and VCN segments, in the aggregate. Core financial measures exclude the results of our Home segment. See the Segment Results section below for illustration of the ~~economic slowdown on our evaluation~~aggregation of our significant estimates, including goodwill impairment indicators and credit losses, as of June 30, 2020. See the discussion below under “Critical Accounting Policies” for more information regarding the interim goodwill impairment test performed during the second quarter of 2020. Although no significant changes in credit risk were identified, it is possible credit losses could emerge as the impact of the crisis becomes clearer and those losses could be material.Core financial measures.

We estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using a discounted cash flow (DCF) method or, as appropriate, a combination of the DCF method and a market approach known as the guideline public company method. Under the DCF method, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The significant assumptions in the DCF model primarily include, but are not limited to, forecasts of annual revenue growth rates, annual operating income margin, the terminal growth rate and the discount rate used to determine the present value of the cash flow projections. When determining these assumptions and preparing these estimates, we consider historical performance trends, industry data, insight derived from customers, relevant changes in the reporting unit’s underlying business and other market trends that may affect the reporting unit. The discount rate is based on the estimated weighted average cost of capital as of the test date of market participants in the industry in which the reporting unit operates. Under the guideline public company method, we estimate the fair value based upon market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. The weighting of the fair value derived from the market approach may vary depending on the level of comparability of these publicly-traded companies to the reporting unit. When comparable public companies are not meaningful or not available, we may estimate the fair value of a reporting unit using only the DCF method.

During the second quarter of 2020, we determined that indicators of impairment existed for our Home Networks reporting unit due to lower projected operating results, primarily driven by the accelerated decline in demand for video devices. This trend is projected to continue as consumers adopt the use of other streaming applications and has been further impacted negatively by the macro-economic effects of COVID-19. Accordingly, we assessed the fair value of our Home Networks reporting unit as of May 31, 2020 and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million in the Home segment. This reflects a full impairment of the remaining goodwill in the Home segment, and as such, the Home segment has no remaining goodwill balance as of June 30, 2020.

To determine the fair value of our Home Networks reporting unit and test for goodwill impairment, we developed a revised forecast for 2020 and updated the annual financial forecasts for the years beyond 2020. We used an income approach (DCF method) because we believe this is the most direct approach to incorporate the specific economic attributes and risk profile of the reporting unit into our valuation model. Consistent with our 2019 annual impairment test, we used a 9.0% discount rate for the interim goodwill impairment test for the Home Networks reporting unit. We determined that the utilization of a market approach for the interim goodwill impairment test would not impact the conclusion.

While no indicators of impairment existed for our other reporting units during the second quarter of 2020, we believe our Enterprise and Network and Cloud (N&C) reporting units could be at risk due to continued challenges in operating results and our ability to grow these businesses. The Enterprise reporting unit is in our VCN segment and the N&C reporting unit is in our Broadband segment. If assumed net sales and cash flow projections are not achieved in future periods, it is possible that the goodwill of these or other reporting units could be deemed to be impaired and the impairment could be material.

~~Net~~ for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $82.5 million, or 3.9%, and $121.3 million, or 2.9%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods.

The declines in the Home and OWN segments were driven primarily by a slowdown in sales to both U.S. and international service provider customers as demand for video products and wireless network equipment decreased. The decline in the VCN segment was driven by decreases in sales of enterprise and Wi-Fi products.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales in the Home segment decreased $178.8 million and $294.5 million, respectively, compared to the ~~Acquisition but this increase was partially offset by declines~~prior year periods. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, all our segments experienced supply shortages and extended lead times for certain materials that negatively affected our ability to meet customer demand for our products. We expect these shortages and delays to persist into 2022. In addition, our Broadband segment faced capacity constraints that negatively affected net sales in the ~~existing CommScope businesses primarily due to lower sales to wireless service providers~~three and ~~enterprise customers.~~six months ended June 30, 2021.

Gross profit was also impacted unfavorably by higher freight and material costs as well as pricing pressures related to certain of our OWN segment products that were only partially offset by increased pricing on certain of our VCN segment products. Despite these unfavorable impacts, gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020. Gross profit increased for~~2021 only slightly declined compared to the prior periods mainly due to favorable product mix.

In the first quarter of 2021, we announced a transformation initiative, CommScope NEXT, and in early April 2021, we announced our intention to spin-off our Home Networks business. We are also continuing to integrate the 2019 acquisition of ARRIS International plc (ARRIS), including our work to combine our enterprise resource planning systems. Due to these efforts, we incurred $21.0 million and $36.7 million of transaction, transformation and integration costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to $7.6 million and $13.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, ~~compared to~~respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020 to $717.2~~2021, excluding transaction, transformation and integration costs, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased by $2.0 million ~~or 35.5% of sales, from $846.5~~and $30.7 million, ~~or 36.8% of sales, in the prior year~~respectively, primarily due to ~~lower sales volumes~~reductions in ~~the existing CommScope businesses. We estimate that supply chain disruptions and incremental costs related to COVID-19 reduced gross profit by $30~~bad debt expense of $3.4 million and ~~$45~~$17.1 million, respectively, as the aging of our receivables has improved. This reduction in bad debt expense was offset partially by higher variable compensation expense of $3.2 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020, respectively.~~

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased primarily due to a reduction of $159.4 million in transaction and integration costs related to the Acquisition and, to a lesser extent, benefits from acquisition synergies and cost savings initiatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, SG&A expense decreased2021, respectively, compared to the prior year period due to a reduction of $174.7 million in transaction and integration costs related to the Acquisition. Excluding transaction and integration costs, SG&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased due to theas our year-over-year performance has improved. In addition, ~~of SG&A expense of $130.8 million related to the ARRIS business.

For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, amortization of purchased intangible assets was lower compared to the prior year ~~period~~periods because certain of our intangible assets became fully amortized. The amortization of purchased intangible assets was higher in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the addition of $95.5 million amortization related to the ARRIS business. Excluding the ARRIS business, amortization decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by $3.6 million compared to the prior year period because certain of our intangible assets became fully amortized.

The restructuring costs recorded induring the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 reflected actions initiated during the first and ~~2019~~second quarters of 2021 and included $58.9 million and $92.2 million, respectively, related to CommScope NEXT. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the restructuring costs recorded also reflected $11.1 million related to integrating the ARRIS business. The restructuring costs recorded during the three and six months ended June 20, 2020 were primarily related to integrating ~~and preparing to integrate~~ the ARRIS business. From a cash perspective, we paid ~~$23.3~~$24.6 million and ~~$43.1~~$31.8 million to settle restructuring liabilities during the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and expect to pay an additional ~~$21.0~~$26.9 million by the end of ~~2020 related to restructuring actions that have been initiated. In addition, we expect to pay $7.3~~2021 and $64.3 million between ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2022~~2023 related to restructuring actions that have been initiated. Additional restructuring actions related to the ~~Acquisition~~CommScope NEXT are expected to be identified and the resulting charges and cash requirements are expected to be material. The Company does not expect to identify significant additional restructuring actions related to the ARRIS integration.

We did not record any asset impairment charges during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million related to our Home Networks reporting unit within our Home segment. See the discussion above under “Critical Accounting Policies” for more information regarding the interim goodwill impairment test performed during the second quarter of 2020. We did not record any asset impairment charges during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest expense for the ~~three~~six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due ~~primarily~~ to lower variable interest rates on our senior secured term loan due 2026 (the 2026 Term Loan) which reduced interest expense by approximately $16 million. Also contributing to the decrease was the prior year period write off of $4.1 million in original issuance discount and debt issuance costs related to the repayment of our senior secured term loan due 2022 (the 2022 Term Loan), which occurred when we obtained the 2026 Term Loan with the financing of the Acquisition, and lower debt balances on our 5.00% senior notes due 2021 (the 2021 Notes) due to the voluntary repayments in 2019. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased compared to the prior year period due to the financing of the Acquisition that occurred in February 2019. The increase was partially offset by lower variable interest rates and lower debt balances on the 2021 Notes due to the voluntary repayments in 2019.

In March 2019, we entered into pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap derivatives and designated them as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. These swaps effectively fixed the interest rate on a portion the 2026 Term Loan. The total notional amount of the interest rate swap derivatives as of June 30, 2020 was $600 million with outstanding maturities of up to forty-five months.

. Our weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the impact of the interest rate swap and the amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, was 5.81% at June 30, 2021, 5.86% at December 31, 2020 and 5.64% at June 30, ~~2020, 6.17% at December 31, 2019 and 6.26% at June 30, 2019.~~

Interest income decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to $0.8 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of interest earned on the proceeds of the acquisition-related debt that were held in an interest-bearing escrow account in the prior year period until the Acquisition date.2020.

For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our effective tax rate was ~~4.5%~~0.4% and ~~8.8%~~10.7%, respectively, and we recognized a tax benefit of $0.6 million on a pretax loss of $154.4 million and a tax benefit of $30.1 million on a pretax loss of $281.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by $37.3 million related to a foreign tax rate change as well as impacts of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at rates higher than the United States (U.S.) statutory rate, foreign withholding taxes and U.S. anti-deferral provisions. These unfavorable impacts were offset partially by decreases in prior year uncertain tax positions and adjustments related to the finalization of prior year’s tax returns.

Our effective income tax rate was 4.5% and 8.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. We recognized a tax benefit of $15.1 million on a pretax loss of $336.2 million and a tax benefit of $46.5 million on a pretax loss of $527.5 million, respectively. Our tax benefit was ~~less than the statutory rate of 21.0% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to~~unfavorably impacted by a goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million, for which minimal tax benefits were recorded, and $20.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively, of tax expense related to state valuation allowances. Excess tax costs of $3.7 million and $7.8 million related to equity compensation awards also impacted the tax benefit unfavorably for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Our effective income tax rate was 10.1% and 9.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. We recognized a tax benefit of $37.5 million on a pretax loss of $371.5 million and a tax benefit of $35.9 million on a pretax loss of $372.2 million, respectively. Our tax benefit was unfavorably impacted by the impact of U.S. anti-deferral provisions and foreign withholding taxes, but this impact was partially offset by the favorable impact of federal tax credits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The impact of excess tax costs related to equity-based compensation awards was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Our Broadband segment provides an end-to-end product portfolio serving the telco and cable provider broadband market. The segment brings together the Network Cable and Connectivity business with the N&C business. The Broadband segment includes converged cable access platform, passive optical networking, video systems, access technologies, fiber and coaxial cable, fiber and copper connectivity and hardened closures.

Net sales for the Broadband segment ~~were relatively unchanged~~increased for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to the prior year ~~period.~~periods due to increased demand for our products and services as service providers enhance their networks to keep pace with broadband demand. Although net sales for the Broadband segment increased, we are still experiencing capacity constraints in certain products that negatively affected our net sales in 2021. We are investing to alleviate these constraints and expect them to begin to ease in the second half of 2021. From a regional perspective, for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, net sales increased in the CALA region by $69.4 million, the U.S. by $58.9 million and the EMEA region by $22.6 million but decreased in the APAC region by $3.0 million and Canada by $0.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the U.S. by ~~$47.3~~$229.2 million, ~~but this increase was mostly offset by decreases across the other major regions including $26.1 million in~~ the CALA region ~~$7.8~~by $84.8 million, in the EMEA region ~~$6.6~~by $14.9 million inand the APAC region ~~and $4.4~~by $5.9 million but decreased in ~~Canada.~~Canada by $6.8 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted Broadband segment net sales ~~were~~favorably by approximately 2% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Broadband segment operating income decreased compared to the prior year period despite an increase in sales volumes, due to higher infreight and material costs, increased expenses to expand capacity to meet demand, increased restructuring costs of $62.9 million and an intellectual property settlement charge of $20.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021, Broadband segment operating income increased compared to the prior year period due to increased sales volumes, partially offset by higher freight and material costs, increased expenses to expand capacity to meet demand, increased restructuring costs of $68.1 million and the intellectual property settlement charge of $20.0 million. Broadband segment adjusted EBITDA increased for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to higher sales volumes. Restructuring costs and intellectual property settlements are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Although OWN segment net sales increased year over year for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales were negatively affected by supply shortages of certain materials that hindered our ability to meet customer demand. OWN segment net sales increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in spending on macro tower solutions in the APAC region and Canada. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, these favorable impacts were partially offset by a slowdown in sales of wireless network equipment to certain U.S. service provider customers in the first quarter of 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment net sales increased in the APAC region by $15.2 million, Canada by $12.3 million and the U.S. by $8.9 million, and decreased in the CALA region by $5.5 million and the EMEA region by $1.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment net sales increased in the APAC region by $37.1 million, Canada by $25.7 million and the EMEA region by $4.4 million and decreased in the U.S. by $60.9 million and the CALA region by $2.9 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted OWN segment net sales favorably by approximately 2% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to increased sales volumes, partially offset by pricing pressure on certain products and higher material costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment operating income and adjusted EBITDA decreased compared to the prior year period, despite the increase in net sales, primarily due to pricing pressures on certain products, higher material costs and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by benefits from cost savings initiatives. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, OWN segment operating income was also favorably impacted by lower amortization expense which is excluded from adjusted EBITDA. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the VCN segment with higher net sales of Ruckus products and enterprise products, partially offset by lower net sales of distributed antenna systems. Net sales of Ruckus products increased year over year despite shortages of certain materials that negatively affected our ability to meet customer demand. We expect this supply shortage to continue into 2022. From a regional perspective, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the APAC region by $33.3 million, the EMEA region by $22.8 million, the U.S. by $15.2 million, Canada by $6.8 million and the CALA region by $6.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net sales increased in the APAC region by $56.1 million, the EMEA region by $28.1 million, the CALA region by $8.5 million and Canada by $6.6 million and decreased in the U.S. by $14.9 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted VCN segment net sales favorably by approximately 2% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same prior year periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, VCN segment operating loss decreased and adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher sales volumes and favorable pricing impacts on certain products, partially offset by higher material and freight costs as ~~a result~~well as unfavorable geographic and product mix. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.

Net sales for the ~~Acquisition. For~~Home segment decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 primarily due to continuing declines in demand for video products from both U.S. and ~~2019, incremental~~international service providers as well as the negative impact of supply shortages and delays on our ability to meet customer demand. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, net sales ~~from~~decreased in the ~~ARRIS business were approximately $653~~U.S. by $182.4 million, the CALA region by $3.8 million and ~~$331~~the APAC region by $3.3 million ~~respectively.~~and increased in the EMEA region by $5.6 million and Canada by $5.1 million. From a regional perspective, for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020, excluding the ARRIS business, Broadband segment~~2021, net sales ~~increased approximately $19 million~~decreased in the U.S. ~~but decreased across all other major regions, including decreases of approximately $18~~by $281.4 million, the APAC region by $9.0 million, the EMEA region by $7.0 million and Canada by $6.7 million and increased in the CALA region ~~$16 million in the APAC region, $14 million in the EMEA region and $4 million in Canada. Supply constraints related to the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected Broadband~~by $9.6 million. Foreign exchange rate changes impacted Home segment net sales ~~for~~favorably by approximately 1% during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. However, we believe the segment also benefitted from increased demand for certain of its Broadband segment products. Management currently expects that the impact from COVID-19 will not significantly affect the Broadband segment for the remainder of 2020.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Broadband segment operating income increased mainly due to reductions in transaction and integration costs of $107.1 million and $111.9 million, respectively, reductions in acquisition accounting adjustments related2021 compared to the mark-up of inventory to its estimated fair value and deferred revenue of $77.0 million and $74.2 million, respectively, and reductions in restructuring costs of $14.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively. Transaction and integration costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and restructuring costs are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Broadband segment adjusted EBITDA increased due to the impact of cost savings initiatives offset partially by unfavorable product mix. Since the Broadband segment includes the acquired N&C business, both operating income and adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are higher than thesame prior year ~~period due to the incremental period of ARRIS results included in the current year. See “Reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.~~

Our Home segment offers broadband and video products. The segment includes subscriber-based solutions that support broadband and video applications connecting cable, telco and satellite service providers to a customer’s home and adds wireless connectivity or other wired connections integrating in-home devices together to enable the consumption of internet-based services and the delivery of broadcast, streamed and stored video to televisions and other connected devices. Broadband offerings include devices that provide residential connectivity to a service providers’ network, such as digital subscriber line and cable modems and telephony and data gateways which incorporate routing and Wi-Fi functionality. Video offerings include set top boxes that support cable, satellite and IPTV content delivery and include products such as digital video recorders, high definition set top boxes and hybrid set top devices.

Net sales for the Home segment decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower sales volumes of video products to both U.S. and international service provider customers. From a regional perspective, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, sales were down across all major regions including decreases of $96.2 million in the U.S., $61.1 million in the CALA region, $56.6 million in the EMEA region, $26.4 million in the APAC region and $24.7 million in Canada. Net sales for the Home segment increased for the six months ended June 30, 2020 because the prior year period only included net sales since the April 4, 2019 acquisition date. We believe supply chain disruptions and lower demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to the decline in Home segment net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. We anticipate ongoing softness in the Home segment for the remainder of 2020 partially due to the impacts of COVID-19 but also due to the continuing declines in demand for video products.periods.

For the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020, the~~2021, Home segment operating loss ~~increased compared~~decreased primarily due to ~~the~~a prior year period ~~primarily due to the~~ goodwill impairment charge of $206.7 million in the current year period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Home segment operating income was favorably impacted by reductions in acquisition accounting adjustments related to the mark-up of inventory to its estimated fair value and deferred revenue of $20.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, and reductions in restructuring costs of $10.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively, but these were partially offset by the unfavorable impacts of higher patent and litigation settlements of $4.5 million and $9.8 million, respectively.million. Asset ~~impairments, acquisition accounting adjustments, restructuring costs and patent and litigation settlements~~impairment charges are not reflected in adjusted EBITDA. ~~For~~Excluding the ~~three and six months ended June 30, 2020, Home segment adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to lower sales. See “Reconciliation~~impact of ~~Segment Adjusted EBITDA” below.~~

Our OWN segment focuses on the macro and metro cell wireless markets. The segment’s offerings include base station antennas, RF filters, tower connectivity, microwave antennas, metro cell products, cabinets, steel accessories, Spectrum Access System and Comsearch. As our wireless operator customers shift a portion of their 5G capital expenditures from the macro tower to the metro cell, the portfolio will strategically help make the transition smooth and cost-effective.

~~OWN segment net sales decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to~~ the prior year periods primarily due to a slowdown in sales of wireless network equipment to both U.S. and international service provider customers. From a regional perspective, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, OWN segment net sales were lower across all regions and were primarily driven by decreases in the U.S. of $88.0 million and $90.4 million, respectively, the EMEA region of $20.4 million and $35.6 million, respectively, and the APAC region of $13.6 million and $29.7 million, respectively. We believe a portion of the decline in OWN segment net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was caused by lower demand as a result of the macroeconomic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our VCN segment targets both public and private networks for campuses, venues, data centers and buildings. The segment combines Wi-Fi and switching, distributed antenna systems, licensed and unlicensed small cells, and enterprise fiber and copper infrastructure.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, net sales decreased in the VCN segment primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. From a regional perspective, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, net sales decreased across all major regions including decreases of $27.5 million in the EMEA region, $19.0 million in the APAC region, $10.3 million in the U.S., $7.9 million in Canada and $6.9 million in the CALA region. VCN segment net sales were higher in the six months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to the prior year period primarily ~~as a result of the Acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2020~~due to lower sales volumes and ~~2019, incremental net sales related to the ARRIS business were $237.5 million and $147.6 million. From a regional perspective, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, excluding the ARRIS business, VCN~~higher warranty costs, partially offset by benefits from cost savings initiatives. Home segment net sales increased approximately $17 million in the U.S. but decreased across all other major regions, including decreases of approximately $49 million in the APAC region, $29 million in the EMEA region, $9 million in the CALA region and $3 million in Canada. We believe the primary driver for lower VCN segment net salesoperating loss was also unfavorably impacted for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020 was lower demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Management currently expects the impact of COVID-19 to continue to negatively affect the VCN segment for the remainder of 2020.~~

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, VCN segment operating loss decreased primarily due to reductions in acquisition accounting adjustments related to the mark-up of inventory to its estimated fair value of $58.4 million and $56.1 million, respectively, and reductions in2021 by higher transaction, transformation and integration costs of ~~$44.3~~$10.4 million and ~~$50.0~~$15.5 million, ~~respectively. These improvements were offset partially by the impacts~~respectively, and an intellectual property settlement charge of lower VCN segment net sales. VCN segment operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 only include the acquired Ruckus business after the April 4, 2019 acquisition date, which affects the segment’s comparability to$20.0 million in the current year period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to lower sales and to a lesser extent, unfavorable product mix, offset partially by the impacts of cost savings initiatives.

Our principal sources of liquidity on a short-term basis are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operations, ~~and~~ availability under our credit ~~facilities. In April 2020, we borrowed $250.0 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) as a precautionary measure~~facilities and potential distributions related to ~~reinforce our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light~~the spin-off of the uncertainty in the global economy at that time resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We subsequently repaid the full amount in July 2020 because we did not believe the proceeds were needed for future liquidity as our cash flow generation has continued to improve and the broader financial markets have continued to stabilize.Home Networks business. On a long-term basis, our potential sources of liquidity also include raising capital through the issuance of additional equity and/or debt.

The primary uses of liquidity include debt service requirements, ~~(including~~ voluntary debt repayments or ~~redemptions), funding~~redemptions, working capital requirements, ~~paying~~capital expenditures, transaction separation costs, transformation costs, restructuring costs, acquisition integration costs, ~~capital expenditures, paying restructuring costs, paying~~ dividends related to the Convertible Preferred Stock ~~paying~~if we elect to pay such dividends in cash, litigation ~~claims and~~ settlements and income tax payments. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations, combined with availability under ~~the~~our senior secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit ~~Facility,~~Facility), will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated future cash needs. We may experience volatility in cash flows between periods due to, among other reasons, variability in the timing of vendor payments and customer receipts. We may, from time to time, borrow additional amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility or issue debt securities, if market conditions are favorable, to meet future cash needs or to reduce our borrowing costs.

Although there are no financial maintenance covenants under the terms of our senior notes, there is a limitation, among other limitations, on certain future borrowings based on an adjusted leverage ratio or a fixed charge coverage ratio. These ratios are based on financial measures similar to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as presented in the “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” section below, but also give pro forma effect to certain events, including acquisitions, synergies and savings from cost reduction initiatives such as facility closures and headcount reductions. For the twelve months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, our pro forma adjusted EBITDA, as measured pursuant to the indentures governing our notes, was ~~$1,311.7~~$1,402.8 million, which included annualized synergies expected to be mostly realized inwithin the next ~~two years~~year ($~~65.9~~10.9 million) and annualized savings expected from ~~announced~~ cost reduction initiatives ($~~41.4~~90.3 million) so that the impact of the synergies and cost reduction initiatives is fully reflected in the twelve-month period used in the calculation of the ratios. In addition to limitations under these indentures, our senior secured credit facilities contain customary negative covenants based on similar financial measures. We believe we are in compliance with the covenants under our indentures and senior secured credit facilities at June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

Cash and cash equivalents ~~increased~~decreased during the six months ended June 30, ~~2020 due~~2021 primarily driven by cash paid for capital expenditures of $60.2 million, cash dividends paid for the Convertible Preferred Stock of $28.7 million, tax withholding payments for vested equity-based compensation awards of $24.6 million and a payment to ~~the borrowing~~settle a net investment hedge of ~~$250.0~~$18.0 million, ~~under the Revolving Credit Facility and~~partially offset by cash generated from operating activities of ~~$166.3 million, partially offset by~~$67.6 million.

As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, approximately ~~33%~~62% of our cash and cash equivalents were held outside the U.S.

During the six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the increase in cash used in investing activities was driven by a payment made to settle a net investment hedge and an increase of $12.5 million in our investment in property, plant and equipment was relatively unchanged despite the incremental time the ARRIS business was owned in the current year, as management intentionally slowed capital spending in light of the economic uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our investments in property, plant and equipment werethat primarily related to supporting improvements in manufacturing operations, including expanding production capacity and investing in information technology, including software developed for internal use. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid $5.0 billion, net of cash acquired, using a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock to fund the Acquisition. We also paid $11.0 million related to the August 2017 acquisition of Cable Exchange during the prior year period. The final Cable Exchange payment of $3.6 million will be paid in the third quarter of 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, ~~2020, we borrowed~~2021, the increase in cash used in financing activities was driven by the prior year impact of the $250.0 million borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility redeemed $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes and paid the first and second quarter scheduled amortization payments totaling $16.0 million on the 2026 Term Loan. The borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility wasas a precautionary measure to reinforce our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the uncertainty in the global economy at that time resulting from the COVID-19 ~~pandemic and we~~pandemic. We subsequently repaid the amount in July 2020. ~~Also in July 2020,~~As of June 30, 2021, we ~~issued $700.0~~had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had availability of $729.7 million, reflecting a borrowing base of $771.5 million reduced by $41.8 million of ~~7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2028 and used~~letters of credit issued under the ~~net proceeds from~~Revolving Credit Facility.

In the ~~offering to redeem and retire all outstanding amounts~~prior year period, we also redeemed $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of ~~the 2021 Notes and 5.50%~~our 5.00% senior notes due ~~2024.~~2021. We may ~~continue to look for~~redeem or repurchase more of our senior notes if market conditions are favorable ~~opportunities to~~and the applicable indenture and the credit agreements governing the senior secured credit facilities permit such repayment or repurchase. In addition, we may refinance portions of our existing debt to, among other reasons, lower borrowing costs, extend the term or adjust the total amount of fixed or floating-rate debt.

Also impacting cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was the increase of $28.7 million in cash dividends paid for the Convertible Preferred Stock. In the prior year period, the dividends for the Convertible Preferred Stock were paid in additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2019,~~2021, we received proceeds ~~from~~of $3.9 million related to the ~~acquisition-related debt~~exercise of ~~approximately $7.0 billion~~stock options compared to ~~fund the Acquisition. We repaid $225.0~~$0.9 million ~~of the 2022 Term Loan~~ in the first quarter of 2019 and we repaid the remaining balance of $261.3 million using proceeds from the 2026 Term Loan. As part of funding the Acquisition, we repaid ARRIS’ outstanding debt of $2.1 billion under its senior secured credit facilities. We also borrowed and repaid $15.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. In connection with the acquisition-related debt, we paid $118.1 million of debt issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, we had remaining availability under the Revolving Credit Facility of $521.6 million, reflecting a borrowing base of $797.6 million reduced by $250.0 million of outstanding borrowings and $26.0 million of letters of credit.

prior year period. During the six months ended June 30, ~~2020, we received proceeds of $0.9 million related to the exercise of stock options. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2020,~~2021, employees surrendered ~~0.6 million~~ shares of our common stock to satisfy their tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock units and performance share units, which reduced cash flows by $24.6 million compared to $6.3 ~~million. During~~million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received proceeds of $2.7 million related to the exercise of stock options and employees surrendered 0.4 million shares of our common stock to satisfy their tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock units and performance share units, which reduced cash flows by $9.3 million.prior year period.

We were not party to any significant off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

We believe that presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that these financial measures are useful in assessing our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We also use certain of these financial measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

We believe these financial measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. These financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or liquidity.

We also believe presenting these non-GAAP results for the twelve months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 provides an additional tool for assessing our recent performance. Such amounts are unaudited and are derived by subtracting the data for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019~~2020 from the data for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 and then adding the data for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.

These and other factors are discussed in greater detail in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and may be updated from time to time in our annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q represents our best judgment as of the date of this report based on information currently available and reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material. Given these uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We are not undertaking any duty or obligation to update this information to reflect developments or information obtained after the date of this report, except as otherwise may be required by law.

There have been no material changes in the interest rate risk, commodity price risk or foreign currency exchange rate risk information previously reported under Item 7A of our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report, ~~on Form 10-K,~~ as filed with the SEC on February ~~20, 2020.~~17, 2021.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Reference should be made to our 2020 Annual Report for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures. There have been no other changes in ~~the Company’s~~our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, ~~2020~~ 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, ~~the Company’s~~our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is party to certain intellectual property claims and also periodically receives notices asserting that its products infringe on another party’s patents and other intellectual property rights. These claims and assertions, whether against the Company directly or against its customers, could require the Company to pay damages, royalties, stop offering the relevant products and/or cease other activities. The Company may also be called upon to indemnify certain customers for costs related to products sold to such customers. ~~While the~~The outcome of ~~the~~these claims and notices is uncertain and a reasonable estimate of the loss from unfavorable outcomes in certain of these matters either cannot be determined ~~an adverse outcome~~or is estimated at the minimum amount of a range of estimates. The actual loss could ~~result in a~~be material ~~loss.~~and may vary significantly from our estimates.

The Company is also either a plaintiff or a defendant in certain other pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these pending legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition.

The ~~Company's~~Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are subject to various risks which could cause actual results to vary from recent results or from anticipated future results. Other than the supplemental risk factor previously reported in Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which risk factor is incorporated herein by ~~this~~ reference, there have been no material changes to our risk factors disclosed in Part I - Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

The following table summarizes the stock purchase activity for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020:~~2021:

(1) The shares purchased were withheld to satisfy the withholding tax obligations related to restricted stock units and performance share units that vested during the period.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
