Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements of Inseego Corp. present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the periods presented. Reclassifications Certain amounts recorded in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported operating results. Segment Information The Company has one reportable segment. The Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker, does not manage any part of the Company separately, and the allocation of resources and assessment of performance is based solely on the Company’s consolidated operations and operating results. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, capitalized software costs, allowance for credit losses, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, valuation of derivatives, accruals relating to litigation, income taxes and share-based compensation expense. Risks and Uncertainties The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact worldwide economic activity. A pandemic, including COVID-19 or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, manufacturers, suppliers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to spread of the disease within these groups or due to shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. The COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation measures have also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, or any other outbreak of an epidemic disease, impacts our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain its impact. In addition, a global semiconductor supply shortage is causing wide-ranging impacts across the technology industry. While the shortage has not materially impacted the Company’s operations and financial results, it may negatively impact our customers and the supply of materials needed for our testing and production timeline. Our suppliers, contract manufacturers, and customers are all taking actions to reduce the impact of the semiconductor shortage; however, if the shortage persists, the impact on our operations and financial results could be material. The inflationary pressures impacting the global supply chain could potentially increase our future cost of net revenues. The ongoing inflation challenges could adversely impact our future revenues, gross margins and financial results. Sale of Ctrack South Africa On July 30, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Ctrack business operations in Africa, Pakistan and the Middle East (together “Ctrack South Africa”) and recognized a pre-tax gain of $5.3 million. Total cash proceeds received from the sale were $31.5 million, net of cash divested of $5.0 million. See Note 5 . Business Divestiture , for more information. Liquidity As of December 31, 2022, the Company had available unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $7.1 million, working capital of $21.4 million, and $6.1 million of availability under its secured asset-backed Credit Facility (as defined below in Note 6 . Debt ). See Note 6 . Debt , for more information on this new Credit Facility. The Company has a history of operating and net losses and overall usage of cash from operating and investing activities. The Company’s management believes that its cash and cash equivalents on-hand, together with anticipated cash flows from operations, availability under its secured asset-backed Credit Facility, and anticipated savings from ongoing cost reduction efforts, will be sufficient to meet its cash flow needs for the next twelve months from the filing date of this report. To the extent that additional liquidity may be needed, the Company may issue up to $9.5 million in equivalent shares of the Company’s common stock available, pursuant to a shelf-registration statement filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020 and amended from time to time. The Company’s ability to attain more profitable operations and continue to generate positive cash flow is dependent upon achieving a level and mix of revenues adequate to support its evolving cost structure. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not meet its operating plan as expected, or if the Company becomes obligated to pay unforeseen expenditures as a result of ongoing litigation, the Company may be required to raise capital, reduce planned research and development activities, incur additional restructuring charges or reduce other operating expenses and capital expenditures, which could have an adverse impact on its ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The Company’s liquidity could also be impaired by significant interruptions in its business operations, such as those described above under the heading Risks and Uncertainties , or, a material failure to satisfy its contractual commitments or a failure to generate revenues from new or existing products. In addition, there can be no assurance that any required or desired restructuring or financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are generally held with large financial institutions worldwide to reduce the amount of exposure to credit risk. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are recorded at market value, which approximates cost. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s foreign currency denominated demand deposits are recorded as a component of other income, net, in the consolidated statements of operations. Restricted cash held in escrow with a financial institution as of December 31, 2021, which was set up as collateral for potential future uninsured warranty claims related to the divestiture of Ctrack South Africa, was released during the third quarter of 2022, and we no longer have any restricted cash on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. See Note 5. Business Divestiture for additional information about the divestiture of Ctrack South Africa. December 31, 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,143 $ 46,474 Restricted cash — 3,338 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 7,143 $ 49,812 Revenue Recognition The Company’s products and services primarily include intelligent mobile hotspots, wireless routers for IoT applications, USB modems, integrated telematics and mobile tracking hardware devices, which are supported by applications software and cloud services designed to enable customers to easily analyze data insights and configure and manage their hardware. The Company classifies its revenues from the sale of its products and services into two distinct groupings, IoT & Mobile Solutions and Enterprise SaaS Solutions. Both IoT & Mobile Solutions and Enterprise SaaS Solutions revenues include any hardware and software required for the respective solution. Net revenues by grouping for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended 2022 2021 2020 IoT & Mobile Solutions $ 218,401 $ 217,984 $ 261,169 Enterprise SaaS Solutions 26,922 44,415 52,663 Total $ 245,323 $ 262,399 $ 313,832 See geographic disaggregation information in Note 13 . Geographic Information and Concentrations of Risk . IoT & Mobile Solutions . The IoT & Mobile Solutions portfolio is comprised of end-to-end edge to cloud solutions including 4G LTE mobile broadband gateways, routers, modems, hotspots, HD quality VoLTE based wireless home phones, cloud management software and an advanced 5G portfolio of products (currently in various stages of development). The solutions are offered under the MiFi TM brand for consumer and business markets, and under the Skyus brand for industrial IoT markets. IoT & Mobile Solutions also includes Inseego Subscribe TM , a hosted SaaS platform that helps organizations manage the selection, deployment and spend of their customer’s wireless assets, helping them save money on personnel and telecom expenses. Enterprise SaaS Solutions . The Enterprise SaaS Solutions portfolio consists of various subscription offerings within the Company’ s Ctrack tel ematics platforms, which provide fleet vehicle, aviation ground vehicle and asset tracking and performance information, and other telematics applications. Revenue Recognition Criteria The Company follows Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (as amended, “ASC 606”), which provides guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of control of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company determines revenue recognition according to the following five steps: (i) identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer; (ii) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied. Customer Contracts The Company routinely enters into a variety of agreements with customers, including quality agreements, pricing agreements and master supply agreements which outline the general commercial terms and conditions under which the Company does business with a specific customer, including shipping terms and pricing for the products and services that the Company offers. The Company also sells to some customers solely based on purchase orders. The Company has concluded, for the vast majority of its revenues, that its contracts with customers are either a purchase order or the combination of a purchase order with a master supply agreement. The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Performance Obligations The Company’s performance obligations are established when a customer submits a purchase order notification (in writing, electronically or verbally) for goods and services, and the Company accepts the order. The Company identifies performance obligations as the delivery of the requested product or service in appropriate quantities and to the location specified in the customer’s contract and/or purchase order. The Company generally recognizes revenue upon the satisfaction of these criteria when control of the product or service has been transferred to the customer at which time the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment. The Company’s prices are fixed and have no history of being affected by contingent events that could impact the transaction price. The Company does not offer price concessions and does not accept payment that is less than the price stated upon acceptance of a customer purchase order. The Company enters into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Hardware. Hardware revenue from the sale of the Company’s IoT & Mobile Solutions devices is recognized when the Company transfers control to the customer, typically at the time when the product is delivered, shipped or installed, at which time, title passes to the customer and there are no further performance obligations with regards to the hardware device. The Company also considered the performance obligations in its customer master supply agreements and determined that, for the majority of its revenue, the Company generally satisfies performance obligations at a point in time upon delivery of the product to the customer. SaaS and other services. SaaS subscription revenue is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that its service is made available to the customer. Subscription periods range from monthly to multi-year, with the majority of contracts being one to three years in length. Revenues from the Company’s SaaS subscription services represent a single promise to provide continuous access to its software solutions and their processing capabilities, in the form of a service, through one of the Company’s data centers or a hosted data center. As each day of providing access to the software is substantially the same, and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as access is provided, the Company has determined that its subscription services arrangements include a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services. The Company’s SaaS subscriptions also include an unspecified volume of call center support and any remote system diagnostic and software upgrades as needed. These services are combined with the recurring monthly subscription service since they are highly interrelated and interdependent. Our telematics services include devices which collect and transmit information from vehicles or other assets. The Company’s customers have an option to purchase the monitoring device or lease it over the term of the contract. If the customer purchases the hardware device, the Company recognizes the revenue at a point in time as discussed above. Because the Company’s rental asset contracts qualify as operating leases under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases , and the contracts also include services to operate and maintain the underlying asset, the Company has elected to combine the lease and non-lease components because the service is the predominant element in the eyes of the customer and the pattern of service delivery is the same for both elements. The Company recognizes revenue ratably over time throughout the term of the contract. Maintenance and support services revenue. Periodically, the Company sells separately-priced warranty contracts that extend beyond the Company’s base warranty period. The separately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 36 months. The Company typically receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue as earned on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The Company’s estimated allowances for product warranties can vary from actual results and the Company may have to record additional charges to cost of revenue. Within cost of revenue, the Company records an estimate to reflect its standard warranty obligation to end users to provide for replacement of a defective product. The standard obligation period for most regions is 12 months. Factors that affect the warranty obligation include product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. Professional services revenue. From time to time, the Company enters into special engineering design service agreements. Revenues from engineering design services are designed to meet specifications of a particular product, and therefore do not create an asset with an alternative use. The Company recognizes revenue based on the achievement of certain applicable milestones and the amount of payment the Company believes it is entitled to at the time. Multiple performance obligations. The Company’s contracts with customers may include commitments to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. When hardware, software and services are sold in various combinations, judgment is required to determine whether each performance obligation is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with other performance obligations. The Company considered the performance obligations in its customer master supply agreements and determined that, for the majority of its revenue, the Company generally satisfies performance obligations at a point in time upon delivery of the product to the customer. In instances where the software elements included within hardware for various products are considered to be functioning together with non-software elements to provide the tangible product’s essential functionality, these arrangements are accounted for as a single distinct performance obligation. Judgment is required to determine the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. When available, the Company uses observable inputs to determine SSP. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, it determines the SSP based on a cost-plus model as market and other observable inputs are seldom present based on the proprietary nature of the Company’s products. Contract Assets The Company capitalizes sales commissions earned by its sales force as contract acquisition costs if such costs are significant and both incremental and recoverable. Any capitalized sales commissions are either deferred and amortized over a period of benefit exceeding one year or are expensed as incurred if the period of benefit is one year or less. There were no contract assets related to customer acquisition costs as of December 31, 2022 or 2021 since the Company’s customer contracts are predominantly hardware sales that are immediately recognized as revenue upon either shipment or delivery, and therefore the related contract acquisition costs are also immediately recognized. Sales commissions are included in sales and marketing expense as incurred. Sales commissions associated with SaaS offerings are not material. Contract Liabilities Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. If customers are invoiced for subscription services in advance of the service period, then deferred revenue is recorded. Contract liabilities are also recorded when the Company collects payments in advance of performing the services. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had $5.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of contract liabilities which represent our deferred revenue included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $0.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of contract liabilities included within other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Cost of Net Revenues Cost of net revenues includes the costs associated with the manufacturing of our portfolio of hardware devices, as well as personnel costs for employees and contractors, depreciation, allocated overhead costs and other period adjustments related to costs of inventories sold or for sale or use in manufacturing. Shipping and Handling Charges Fees charged to customers for shipping and handling of products are included in product revenues, and costs for shipping and handling of products are included as a component of sales and marketing expense. Taxes Collected from Customers Taxes collected on the value of transaction revenue are excluded from product and services revenues and cost of sales and are accrued in current liabilities until remitted to governmental authorities. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable are customer obligations generally due under normal trade terms for the industry. Credit terms are granted and periodically revised based on evaluations of the customer’s financial condition. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The Company’s payment terms are generally net 30 days from invoice date and could go up to 90 days for large carrier customers. The Company recognizes an allowance for credit losses at the time a receivable is recorded based on its estimate of expected credit losses and adjusts this estimate over the life of the receivable as needed. The Company evaluates the aggregation and risk characteristics of a receivable pool and develops loss rates that reflect historical collections, current forecasts of future economic conditions over the time horizon the Company is exposed to credit risk, and payment terms or conditions that may materially affect future forecasts. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported $25.3 million and $26.8 million, respectively, of accounts receivable, net of allowances of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Inventories and Provision for Excess and Obsolete Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Inbound shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of net revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company reviews the components of its inventory and its inventory purchase commitments on a regular basis for excess and obsolete inventory based on estimated future usage and sales. Write-downs in inventory value or losses on inventory purchase commitments depend on various items, including factors related to customer demand, economic and competitive conditions, technological advances or new product introductions by the Company or its customers that vary from its current expectations. Whenever inventory is written down, a new cost basis is established and the inventory is not subsequently written up if market conditions improve. The Company believes that, when made, the estimates used in calculating the inventory provision are reasonable and properly reflect the risk of excess and obsolete inventory. Intangible Assets other than Goodwill Intangible assets include purchased finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets resulting from previous acquisitions, along with the costs of non-exclusive and perpetual worldwide software technology licenses and capitalized software development costs for both internal and external use. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including in-process capitalized software development costs, are not amortized; however, they are tested for impairment annually, and between annual tests, if certain events occur indicating that the carrying amounts may be impaired. Software Development Costs for External Use Software development costs for external use are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time those costs are capitalized as intangible assets until the software is available for general release to customers. Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life. The straight-line recognition method approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived. At each balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized software development cost for external use is compared to the net realizable value of that product by analyzing critical inputs such as expected future lifetime revenue. The amount by which unamortized software costs exceed the net realizable value, if any, is recognized as a charge to amortization expense in the period it is determined. Costs incurred to enhance existing software or after the software is available for general release to customers are expensed in the period they are incurred and included in research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Software Development Costs for Internal Use Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred and included in research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing performed to ensure the product is ready for its intended use. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements of internal-use software when it is probable that the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized internal-use software costs are recorded as intangible assets and are amortized on a straight-line basis to general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the estimated useful life of the software. The Company tests these assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances occur that could impact their recoverability. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, the Company recorded impairment losses of $3.0 million, $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, related to software development costs for internal use. Valuation of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The Company performs an annual impairment review of indefinite-lived assets during the fourth quarter of each year, and more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. To review for impairment, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. The Company’s qualitative assessment is based on various macroeconomic, industry-specific, and company specific factors. These factors include: (i) industry or economic trends; (ii) current, historical, or projected financial performance, and; (iii) the Company’s market capitalization. After assessing the totality of events and circumstances, if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount, then no further assessment is performed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount, then the Company calculates the fair value of the asset and compares the fair value to the asset’s carrying value. An impairment charge is recognized if the asset’s estimated fair value is less than it’s carrying value. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 the Company recorded zero impairment loss related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over estimated fair value of net assets of businesses acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, and more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. Valuation of Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company’s qualitative assessment is based on various macroeconomic, industry-specific, and company specific factors. These factors include: (i) industry or economic trends; (ii) current, historical, or projected financial performance, and; (iii) the Company’s market capitalization. After assessing the totality of events and circumstances, if the Company determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, no further assessment is performed. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company calculates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares the fair value to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized if the fair value of the business (reporting unit) is less than its carrying value. The Company has identified two reporting units for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, Ctrack and Inseego North America (“INA”), and performed a qualitative test for goodwill impairment of the two reporting units during the fourth fiscal quarter. Based upon the results of qualitative testing, the Company believed that it was more-likely-than not that the fair value of these reporting units were greater than their respective carrying values. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded no impairment loss related to goodwill. Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of the unamortized balances of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and rental assets, to determine whether impairment of these assets has occurred or whether a revision to the related amortization periods should be made. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset group exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded based on the amount by which the asset group’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined based on an evaluation of the assets’ associated discounted future cash flows or appraised value . For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no impairment loss related to long-lived assets, except for the impairment of the capitalized software development costs for internal use, noted above. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost and depreciated using the st |
