New Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted | |
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income | |
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company adopted new guidance on the reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires presentation, either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, of the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The relevant presentation and disclosures have been applied retrospectively for all periods presented. | |
Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists". The standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. UTBs are required to be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. This accounting guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this accounting guidance may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | ' |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |
Goodwill | |
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with GAAP at the reporting unit level which is one level below the Company’s operating segments. | |
The test for impairment is conducted annually each September 30th or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. | |
The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances changed during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of the Company's reporting units below their respective carrying amounts. However, if market conditions deteriorate, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future. | |
Intangible Assets | |
Intangible assets include acquired technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade-names and other intangibles. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from five years to fifteen years. | |
Acquired technology and patents do not include capitalized software development costs. Unamortized capitalized software developments costs of $24 million at December 31, 2013 and $30 million at September 30, 2013 are included in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. | |
Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. | |
Certain of the Company’s trademarks and trade names are expected to generate cash flow indefinitely. Consequently, these assets are classified as indefinite-lived intangibles. | |
The Company determined that no events had occurred or circumstances changed during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 that would indicate that its long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, may not be recoverable or that it is more likely than not that its intangible assets with indefinite lives are impaired. However, if market conditions deteriorate, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future. |

Fiscal 2013 Restructuring Program | ||||||||||||
During fiscal 2013, the Company continued to identify opportunities to streamline operations and generate cost savings which included exiting facilities and eliminating employee positions. Restructuring charges recorded during fiscal 2013 associated with these initiatives, net of adjustments to previous periods, were $200 million and include separation costs primarily associated with employee severance actions in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and the U.S. In EMEA an approved plan provided for the elimination of 234 positions and resulted in a charge of $48 million. The elimination of employee positions identified in this action and the related payments are expected to be completed in fiscal 2015. The separation charges include, but are not limited to, social pension fund payments and health care and unemployment insurance costs to be paid to or on behalf of the impacted employees. Enhanced separation plans were offered to certain management employees in the U.S. in the first and third quarters of fiscal 2013 and resulted in the elimination of 196 and 447 positions, respectively, and restructuring charges of $9 million and $20 million, respectively, for which the related payments are expected to be completed in fiscal 2014. | ||||||||||||
Restructuring charges also included $52 million of future lease obligations, which includes $32 million of lease obligations associated with the Frankfurt, Germany facility vacated during fiscal 2013. The Company also recorded restructuring charges related to facilities vacated in the United Kingdom and the U.S. The future rental payments, net of estimated sublease income, related to operating lease obligations for unused space in connection with vacating or consolidating facilities during fiscal 2013 are expected to continue through fiscal 2021. | ||||||||||||

In furtherance of the restructuring programs noted above and cost saving initiatives to consolidate facilities, on January 14, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Westminster, Colorado facility. Under a separate agreement, the Company has agreed to lease a portion of this facility upon the closing of the sale. In connection with the sale of the facility, in December 2013, the Company changed its estimate of the salvage value and the useful life of the building to reflect the expected sales price and closing date for the sale, respectively. The changes to the estimated salvage value and the useful life resulted in $16 million of additional depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2013, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. |

In connection with the Merger, on October 26, 2007, the Company entered into financing arrangements consisting of a senior secured credit facility, a senior unsecured credit facility, which later became senior unsecured notes, and a senior secured multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility, certain of which arrangements were amended on December 18, 2009 in connection with the acquisition of NES and amended on February 11, 2011 in connection with a debt refinancing. During fiscal 2013, the Company completed a series of transactions which allowed the Company to refinance term loans under its senior secured credit facility that originally matured October 26, 2014 and to refinance $1,384 million of senior unsecured notes that originally matured on November 1, 2015. | ||||||||
During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed three transactions to refinance $848 million of term loans under its senior secured credit facility, which were (1) an amendment and restatement of the senior secured credit facility and the senior secured multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility on October 29, 2012 along with the extension of the maturity date of $135 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured term B-1 loans (the "term B-1 loans") by converting such loans into a new tranche of senior secured term B-4 loans (the "term B-4 loans"), (2) an amendment and restatement of the senior secured credit facility on December 21, 2012 along with the extension of the maturity date of $713 million aggregate principal amount of term B-1 loans and $134 million aggregate principal amount of term B-4 loans, in each case, by converting such loans into a new tranche of senior secured term B-5 loans (the "term B-5 loans") and (3) the issuance on December 21, 2012 of $290 million of 9% senior secured notes due April 2019, the net proceeds of which were used to repay $284 million of term B-5 loans. | ||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company refinanced the remaining $584 million of term B-1 loans outstanding under its senior secured credit facility with cash proceeds from the issuance of $589 million aggregate principal amount of term B-5 loans under the senior secured credit facility. | ||||||||
Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company refinanced $1,384 million of senior unsecured notes, through (1) amendments to the senior secured credit facility and the senior secured multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility permitting the refinancing of the 9.75% senior unsecured notes due 2015 and 10.125%/10.875% senior unsecured paid-in-kind ("PIK") toggle notes due 2015 (collectively, the “Old Notes”) with indebtedness secured by a lien on certain collateral on a junior-priority basis and (2) the exchange of $1,384 million of Old Notes for $1,384 million of 10.50% senior secured notes due 2021. | ||||||||

Senior Secured Credit Facility | ||||||||
Prior to the fiscal 2013 refinancing transactions, the senior secured credit facility consisted of (a) a senior secured multi-currency revolver allowing for borrowings of up to $200 million, (b) term B-1 loans with an outstanding principal amount as of September 30, 2012 of $1,434 million, and (c) senior secured term B-3 loans (the "term B-3 loans") with an outstanding principal amount as of September 30, 2012 of $2,152 million. | ||||||||
On October 29, 2012, Avaya Inc., Citibank, N.A. and the lenders party thereto entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement pursuant to which the senior secured credit facility was amended and restated in its entirety (as so amended and restated, the "Cash Flow Credit Agreement"). The modified terms of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement included (1) an amendment which allowed the Company to extend the maturity of a portion of the term B-1 loans representing outstanding principal amounts of $135 million from October 26, 2014 to October 26, 2017 by converting such loans into a new tranche of term B-4 loans, (2) permission to issue Incremental Replacement Secured Notes and Junior Secured Debt as described below under the heading “Senior Secured Asset-Based Credit Facility” (except, pursuant to the Cash Flow Credit Agreement, such Incremental Replacement Secured Notes and Junior Secured Debt must be secured by a lien on the Collateral (as defined in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement) ranking junior to the lien securing the obligations under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement) and (3) permission to issue indebtedness to refinance a portion of the term loans outstanding under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement and to secure such indebtedness by a lien on the Collateral (as defined in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement) ranking junior to the lien securing the obligations under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement, subject to certain other conditions and limitations set forth in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
On December 21, 2012, Avaya Inc., Citibank, N.A. and the lenders party thereto entered into Amendment No. 5 to Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Cash Flow Credit Agreement was amended and restated in its entirety. The modified terms of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement included (1) an amendment which allowed the Company to extend the maturity of $713 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding term B-1 loans from October 26, 2014 to March 31, 2018 and $134 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding term B-4 loans from October 26, 2017 to March 31, 2018, in each case, by converting such loans into a new tranche of term B-5 loans; and (2) permission to apply net proceeds from Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (as defined in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement) incurred or issued on December 21, 2012 to refinance, at the Company's election, any class or classes of senior secured term loans, including the new term B-5 loans. | ||||||||
Additionally, as discussed more fully below, on December 21, 2012, the Company completed a private placement of $290 million of senior secured notes, the net proceeds of which were used to repay $284 million of term B-5 loans outstanding under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. Funds affiliated with TPG were holders of $22 million of term B-5 loans repaid with the proceeds of the senior secured notes. | ||||||||
On February 13, 2013, Avaya Inc. and Citibank, N.A. and the lenders party thereto entered into Amendment No. 6 to Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Cash Flow Credit Agreement was amended. The modified terms of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement permitted the Company to refinance all of the Company's outstanding Old Notes with indebtedness secured by a lien on the Collateral (as defined in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement) ranking junior to the lien on the Collateral securing the obligations under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement, subject to certain other conditions and limitations set forth in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
On March 12, 2013, Avaya Inc., Citibank, N.A. and the lenders party thereto entered into Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Cash Flow Credit Agreement was amended. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company refinanced in full all the outstanding term B-1 loans with the cash proceeds from the issuance of $589 million aggregate principal amount of term B-5 loans under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
Subsequent to the fiscal 2013 refinancing transactions and prior to February 5, 2014, the Cash Flow Credit Agreement consisted of (a) a senior secured multi-currency revolver allowing for borrowings of up to $200 million, (b) term B-3 loans with an outstanding principal amount as of December 31, 2013 of $2,121 million, (c) term B-4 loans with an outstanding principal amount as of December 31, 2013 of $1 million, and (d) term B-5 loans with an outstanding principal amount as of December 31, 2013 of $1,138 million. | ||||||||
The term B-3 loans and term B-4 loans bear, and term B-5 loans bore interest at a rate per annum equal to either a base rate (subject to a floor of 2.25% in the case of the term B-4 loans and term B-5 loans) or a LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.25% in the case of the term B-4 loans and term B-5 loans), in each case plus an applicable margin. Subject to the floor described in the immediately preceding sentence the base rate is determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 1/2 of 1%. The applicable margin for borrowings of term B-3 loans and term B-4 loans is, and term B-5 loans was 3.50%, 5.25%, and 5.75% per annum, with respect to base rate borrowings and 4.50%, 6.25%, and 6.75% per annum, respectively, with respect to LIBOR borrowings. The applicable margin on the term B-4 loans is, and term B-5 loans was, subject to increase pursuant to the Cash Flow Credit Agreement in connection with the making of certain refinancing, extended or replacement term loans under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement with an Effective Yield (as defined in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement) greater than the applicable Effective Yield payable in respect of the applicable loans at such time plus 50 basis points. | ||||||||
The October 29, 2012, December 21, 2012, and February 13, 2013 amendments and restatements of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement represent debt modifications for accounting purposes. Accordingly, third party expenses of $4 million and $6 million incurred in connection with the transactions were expensed as incurred and included in other income, net during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and fiscal 2013, respectively. Avaya’s financing sources that held term B-1 loans, term B-3 loans, term B-5 loans and/or revolving credit commitments under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement and consented to each amendment and restatement of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement received in aggregate a consent fee of $15 million. Fees paid to or on behalf of the holders of term loans in connection with the modification were recorded as a discount to the face value of the respective debt and are being accreted over the term of the debt as interest expense. Fees paid to or on behalf of the holders of the revolving credit commitments in connection with the modification were recorded as deferred debt issuance costs and are being amortized over the term of the debt as interest expense. | ||||||||
The March 12, 2013 amendment and restatement of the Cash Flow Credit Agreement was accounted for as a modification of debt to the extent the existing term B-1 loans were refinanced with term B-5 loans issued to the same creditor and an extinguishment of debt to the extent refinanced with term B-5 loans issued to a different creditor. Accordingly, for the portion accounted for as a debt extinguishment the difference between the reacquisition price and the carrying value of the term B-1 loans (including any unamortized discount and debt issue costs) of $3 million was recognized as a loss upon debt extinguishment during fiscal 2013. Third party expenses of $5 million associated with the issuance of the new term B-5 loans were capitalized and are being amortized over the term of the term B-5 loans. Third party expenses of $3 million associated with the modification of debt were expensed as incurred and included in other income, net during fiscal 2013. | ||||||||
The senior secured multi-currency revolver allows for borrowings of up to $200 million and has a final maturity of October 26, 2016. The senior secured multi-currency revolver includes capacity available for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings, and is available in euros in addition to dollars. Borrowings are guaranteed by Parent and substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. The Cash Flow Credit Agreement, consisting of the term loans and the senior secured multi-currency revolver, is secured by substantially all assets of Parent, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors. | ||||||||
As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 affiliates of Silver Lake and TPG held no outstanding principal amounts of term loans under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
See Note 17, "Subsequent Event" for a description of the refinancing transaction with respect to the term B-5 loans that occurred on February 5, 2014. | ||||||||
Senior Unsecured Notes | ||||||||
The Company has issued senior unsecured cash-pay notes and senior unsecured PIK toggle notes, each due November 1, 2015. The interest rate for the cash-pay notes is fixed at 9.75% and the interest rates for the cash interest and PIK interest portions of the PIK-toggle notes are fixed at 10.125% and 10.875%, respectively. The Company may prepay the senior unsecured notes at 100%. Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of changes of control, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the senior unsecured notes at 101% of their principal amount. If the Company or any of its restricted subsidiaries engages in certain asset sales, under certain circumstances the Company will be required to use the net proceeds to make an offer to purchase the senior unsecured notes at 100% of their principal amount. Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. 100%-owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the senior unsecured notes. At the time of their issuance, the Company had $700 million and $750 million of cash-pay and PIK-toggle notes, respectively. Immediately prior to March 7, 2013, the Company had $700 million and $834 million of cash-pay and PIK-toggle notes, respectively. | ||||||||
For the periods May 1, 2009 through October 31, 2009 and November 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, the Company elected to pay interest in kind on its senior unsecured PIK toggle notes. PIK interest of $41 million and $43 million was added, for these periods, respectively, to the principal amount of the senior unsecured notes effective November 1, 2009 and May 1, 2010, respectively. For the periods from May 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011 the Company elected to make such payments in cash interest. Under the terms of these notes, after November 1, 2011 the Company is required to make all interest payments on the senior unsecured PIK toggle notes entirely in cash. | ||||||||
As discussed more fully below, on March 7, 2013, the Company completed an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) in which $1,384 million of Old Notes (including $642 million of senior unsecured cash-pay notes and $742 million of senior unsecured PIK toggle notes) were exchanged for 10.50% senior secured notes due 2021. The Exchange Offer represents a debt modification for accounting purposes. Accordingly, third party expenses of $9 million incurred in connection with the transaction were expensed as incurred and included in other income, net during fiscal 2013. Avaya's financing sources that held the Old Notes that elected to exchange received a consent fee in aggregate of $4 million. Fees paid to or on behalf of the holders of the Old Notes in connection with the modification were recorded as a discount to the face value of the 10.50% senior secured notes due 2021 and are being accreted over the term of the debt as interest expense. | ||||||||

Borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) a LIBOR rate plus a margin of 1.75% or (b) a base rate plus a margin of 0.75%. Any principal amount outstanding under this facility is payable in full on October 26, 2016. | ||||||||

Interest Rate Swaps | |||||||||
From time to time, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage the amount of its floating rate debt in order to reduce its exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with certain borrowings under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2013 each of these agreements has reached maturity and there are no outstanding interest rate swap agreements. | |||||||||
The fair value of each interest rate swap that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815 is reflected as an asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on derivative instruments representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The fair value of each interest rate swap is estimated as the net present value of their projected cash flows at the balance sheet date. | |||||||||
The following table summarizes the (gains) and losses of the interest rate contracts qualifying and designated as cash flow hedging instruments: | |||||||||

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts | |||||||||
The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts primarily to manage short-term exchange rate exposures on certain receivables, payables and intercompany loans residing on foreign subsidiaries’ books, which are denominated in currencies other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. When those items are revalued into the subsidiaries’ functional currencies at the month-end exchange rates, the fluctuations in the exchange rates are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other income (expense), net. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts used to offset these exposed items are also recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other income (expense), net in the period in which the exchange rates change. | |||||||||
The gains and (losses) of the foreign currency forward contracts included in other income (expense), net were less than $1 million and $(3) million for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. | |||||||||

Fair Value Measures | ||||||||||||||||
Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Hierarchy | ||||||||||||||||
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||||
Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date. | ||||||||||||||||
Asset and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis | ||||||||||||||||
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 were as follows: | ||||||||||||||||

On October 3, 2011 and October 3, 2012, the Company advanced $8 million and $10 million, respectively, to Parent in exchange for a note receivable. The proceeds of such notes were used by Parent to fund, in part, an acquisition of all outstanding shares of a unified communications solutions provider. Immediately upon completing the acquisition, Parent merged the acquired entity with and into Avaya Inc., with Avaya Inc. surviving the merger. | ||||||||||||||||
The principal amount of these notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest are due in full January 24, 2019 and October 3, 2015 with interest at the rate of 1.65% and 0.93% per annum, respectively. These notes are included in other assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of the $8 million note receivable was $8 million and $8 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of the $10 million note receivable was $9 million and $9 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of each note was determined based on a Level 2 input using discounted cash flow techniques. | ||||||||||||||||
The estimated fair values of the amounts borrowed under the Company’s financing arrangements at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 were estimated based on a Level 2 input using quoted market prices for the Company’s debt which is subject to infrequent transactions (i.e. a less active market). | ||||||||||||||||

Income Taxes | |
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $27 million, as compared to the benefit from income taxes of $9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012. | |
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2013 differs from the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate primarily due to (1) the effect of tax rate differentials on foreign income/loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and (2) changes in the valuation allowance established against the Company’s deferred tax assets. | |
The effective rate for the three months ended December 31, 2012 differs from the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate primarily due to (1) the effect of tax rate differentials on foreign income/loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, (2) changes in the valuation allowance established against the Company’s deferred tax assets, (3) $17 million of income tax benefit recognized upon the expiration of certain interest rate swaps, and (4) the recognition of a $2 million income tax benefit as a result of net gains in other comprehensive income. | |
During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a tax charge of $2 million to other comprehensive income primarily relating to gains associated with the Company's pension benefits. As a result of the charge to other comprehensive income for this tax effect the Company recognized an income tax benefit in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and less current period valuation allowance was required against the Company's deferred tax assets. | |
During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $17 million of income tax benefit related to the elimination of the tax effect of certain interest rate swaps in other comprehensive income. The tax effect of such interest rate swaps was recognized in other comprehensive income prior to the establishment of a valuation allowance against the Company's U.S. net deferred tax assets and was eliminated following the expiration of the final interest rate swap upon which the tax effect was established. | |
For interim financial statement purposes, U.S. GAAP income tax expense related to ordinary income is determined by applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate against the Company's ordinary income. Income tax expense/benefit related to items not characterized as ordinary income is recognized as a discrete item when incurred. The estimation of the Company's annual effective income tax rate requires the use of management forecasts and other estimates, a projection of jurisdictional taxable income and losses, application of statutory income tax rates, and an evaluation of valuation allowances. The Company's estimated annual effective income tax rate may be revised, if necessary, in each interim period during the fiscal year. |

The Company sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering a portion of its U.S. employees and retirees, and postretirement benefit plans covering a portion of its U.S. retirees that include healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Certain non-U.S. operations have various retirement benefit programs covering substantially all of their employees. Some of these programs are considered to be defined benefit pension plans for accounting purposes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company froze benefit accruals and additional participation in the pension and postretirement plans for its U.S. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
management employees effective December 31, 2003. The Company also amended the postretirement plan for its | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
U.S. management employees effective January 1, 2013, to terminate retiree dental coverage, and to cease providing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
medical and prescription drug coverage to a retiree who has attained age 65 and to the spouse or dependent of such retiree. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Effective November 25, 2013, the Company entered into a two-year contract extension with the Communications Workers of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
America (“CWA”). With the contract extension, the contract with the CWA now terminates on June 13, 2016. In January 2014, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
the Company reached a tentative agreement for a two-year contract extension with the International Brotherhood of Electrical | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Workers (“IBEW”). With the contract extension, the contract with the IBEW, which was previously extended to June 7, 2014, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
would now expire on June 13, 2016. The agreement must be ratified by the union’s respective members which is expected to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company's general funding policy with respect to its U.S. qualified pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy the minimum amount required by applicable laws and regulations. For the three month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company made contributions of $22 million to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements. Estimated payments to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2014 are $122 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company provides certain pension benefits for U.S. employees, which are not pre-funded, and certain pension benefits for non-U.S. employees, the majority of which are not pre-funded. Consequently, the Company makes payments as these benefits are disbursed or premiums are paid. For the three month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company made payments for these U.S. and non-U.S. pension benefits totaling $2 million and $5 million, respectively. Estimated payments for these U.S. and non-U.S. pension benefits for the remainder of fiscal 2014 are $5 million and $24 million, respectively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company contributed $8 million to the represented employees’ post-retirement health trust to fund current benefit claims and costs of administration in compliance with the terms of the 2009 agreements between the Company and the CWA and IBEW, as extended through June 30, 2016 and June 7, 2014, respectively. Estimated contributions under the terms of the 2009 agreements are $32 million for the remainder of fiscal 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company also provides certain retiree medical benefits for U.S. employees, which are not pre-funded. Consequently, the Company makes payments as these benefits are disbursed. For the three month period ended December 31, 2013, the Company made payments totaling $2 million for these retiree medical benefits. Estimated payments for these retiree medical benefits for the remainder of fiscal 2014 are $4 million. |

12 | Share-based Compensation | |
Parent’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (“2007 Plan”) governs the issuance of equity awards, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options, to eligible plan participants. Key employees, directors, and consultants of the Company may be eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Plan. Each stock option, when vested and exercised, and each RSU, when vested, entitles the holder to receive one share of Parent’s common stock, subject to certain restrictions on their transfer and sale as defined in the 2007 Plan and related award agreements. As of December 31, 2013, Parent had authorized the issuance of up to 49,848,157 shares of its common stock under the 2007 Plan, in addition to 2,924,125 shares of common stock underlying certain continuation awards that were permitted to be issued at the time of the Merger. There remained 9,254,931 shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan as of December 31, 2013. | ||
Option Awards | ||
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, 6,521,000 time-based options were granted in the ordinary course of business. All of the options have an exercise price of $2.25 per share and expire ten years from the date of grant or upon cessation of employment, in which event there are limited exercise provisions allowed for vested options. Time-based options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2013 vest over their performance periods, generally three years. Compensation expense equal to the fair value of the option measured on the grant date is recognized utilizing graded attribution over the requisite service period. | ||
The fair value of option awards is determined at the date of grant utilizing the Cox-Ross Rubinstein (“CRR”) binomial option pricing model which is affected by the fair value of Parent’s common stock as well as a number of complex and subjective assumptions. Expected volatility is based primarily on a combination of the Company’s peer group’s historical volatility and estimates of implied volatility of the Company’s peer group. The risk-free interest rate assumption was derived from reference to the U.S. Treasury Spot rates for the expected term of the stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on Parent’s current intent not to issue a dividend under its dividend policy. The expected holding period assumption was estimated based on the Company’s historical experience. | ||
For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized share-based compensation associated with options issued under the 2007 Plan of $2 million and $1 million, respectively, which is included in costs and operating expenses. | ||
Restricted Stock Units | ||
The Company has issued RSUs each of which represents the right to receive one share of Parent’s common stock when fully vested. The fair value of the RSUs is estimated by the Board of Directors on the respective dates of grant. | ||
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, 3,785,454 RSUs were awarded. The fair market value (as defined in the 2007 Plan) of these awards at the date of grant was $2.25 per share. | ||
2,713,333 of the RSUs awarded during the three months ended December 31, 2013 contain a performance condition that, if achieved, would result in additional RSU awards. If, at the end of each year during the vesting period it is determined that a performance target is achieved by the Company, then a multiplier of 1.5 times will be applied to the value of the RSU award. If the multiplier applies, the additional RSUs that will be granted on that date of determination, will be 100% vested at the date of grant and delivered in shares using the fair market value of a share of Parent's common stock on the date of grant. | ||
At December 31, 2013, there were 11,497,961 awarded RSUs outstanding under the 2007 Plan, of which 5,330,275 were fully vested. For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized share-based compensation associated with RSUs granted under the 2007 Plan of $4 million and $1 million, respectively. |

Avaya conducts its business operations in three segments. Two of those segments, Global Communications Solutions (“GCS”) and Avaya Networking (“Networking”), make up Avaya’s Enterprise Collaboration Solutions (“ECS”) product portfolio. The third segment contains Avaya’s services portfolio and is called Avaya Global Services (“AGS”). | ||||||||
The GCS segment primarily develops, markets, and sells unified communications and contact center products by integrating multiple forms of communications, including telephone, e-mail, instant messaging and video. Avaya’s Networking segment’s portfolio of products offers integrated networking products which are scalable across customer enterprises. The AGS segment develops, markets and sells comprehensive end-to-end global service offerings that allow customers to evaluate, plan, design, implement, monitor, manage and optimize complex enterprise communications networks. | ||||||||
For internal reporting purposes, the Company’s chief operating decision maker makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on segment profit information obtained from the Company’s internal management systems. Management does not include in its segment measures of profitability selling, general, and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and certain discrete items, such as charges relating to restructuring actions, impairment charges, and merger-related costs as these costs are not core to the measurement of segment management’s performance, but rather are controlled at the corporate level. | ||||||||

Legal Proceedings | ||||
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation, claims, government inquiries, investigations and proceedings, including, but not limited to, those identified below, relating to intellectual property, commercial, employment, environmental and regulatory matters. | ||||
Other than as described below, the Company believes there is no litigation pending or environmental and regulatory matters against the Company that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | ||||
Antitrust Litigation | ||||
In 2006, the Company instituted an action in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, against defendants Telecom Labs, Inc., TeamTLI.com Corp. and Continuant Technologies, Inc. and subsequently amended its complaint to include certain individual officers of these companies as defendants. Defendants purportedly provide maintenance services to customers who have purchased or leased the Company's communications equipment. The Company asserts in its amended complaint that, among other things, defendants, or each of them, have engaged in tortious conduct and/or violated federal intellectual property laws by improperly accessing and utilizing the Company's proprietary software, including passwords, logins and maintenance service permissions, to perform certain maintenance services on the Company's customers' equipment. Defendants have filed counterclaims against the Company, alleging a number of tort claims and alleging that the Company has violated the Sherman Act's prohibitions against anticompetitive conduct through the manner in which the Company sells its products and services. Defendants seek to recover the profits they claim they would have earned from maintaining Avaya's products, and ask for injunctive relief prohibiting the conduct they claim is anticompetitive. | ||||
The trial commenced on September 9, 2013. The Company rested its affirmative case on November 12, 2013, and the Defendants filed motions for judgment as a matter of law against the Company’s remaining claims. These motions were argued on November 18, 2013. The Court did not initially rule on the motions, indicating it would reserve a decision until later in the proceedings. On January 8, 2014, the Court issued an opinion dismissing the Company's affirmative claims which the Company intends to appeal at the conclusion of the case. The defendants began to present their portion of the case on November 19, 2013, and the trial is expected to end in late February or early March early 2014. With respect to Defendants’ counterclaims, the Company cannot estimate the possible loss or range of possible loss, if any, as there are significant legal and factual issues to be resolved. In the event Defendants ultimately succeed at trial and in subsequent appeals, any potential loss could be material as Defendants are claiming substantial damages. Under the federal antitrust laws, defendants would be entitled to three times the amount of any actual damages awarded for lost profits, plus attorneys’ fees and costs. Defendants allege lost profit damages of up to $147 million before trebling, excluding attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company believes Defendants’ counterclaims, including its damages calculations, are without merit and unsupported by the facts. At this time an outcome cannot be predicted and, as a result, the Company cannot be assured that this case will not have a material adverse effect on the manner in which it does business, its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. | ||||
Intellectual Property | ||||
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation alleging it has infringed upon third parties’ intellectual property rights, including patents; some litigation may involve claims for infringement against customers by third parties relating to the use of Avaya’s products, as to which the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope to certain customers. These matters are on-going and the outcomes are subject to inherent uncertainties. As a result, the Company cannot be assured that any such matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | ||||
Other | ||||
In October 2009, a group of former employees of Avaya’s former Shreveport, Louisiana manufacturing facility brought suit in Louisiana state court, naming as defendants Alcatel-Lucent USA, Inc., Lucent Technologies Services Company, Inc., and AT&T Technologies, Inc. The former employees allege hearing loss due to hazardous noise exposure from the facility dating back over forty years, and stipulate that the total amount of each individual’s damages does not exceed fifty thousand dollars. In February 2010 plaintiffs amended their complaint to add the Company as a named defendant. There are 101 plaintiffs in the case. Defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint was denied on April 30, 2012. At this time an outcome cannot be predicted however, because the amounts of the claims individually and in the aggregate are not material, the Company believes the outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the manner in which it does business, its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. | ||||
General | ||||
The Company records accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, can be made at this time regarding the matters specifically described above because the inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings may be exacerbated by various factors, including: (i) the damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; (ii) discovery is not complete; (iii) the proceeding is in its early stages; (iv) the matters present legal uncertainties; (v) there are significant facts in dispute; (vi) there are a large number of parties (including where it is uncertain how liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants); or (vii) there is a wide range of potential outcomes. | ||||
Product Warranties | ||||
The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated costs that may be incurred to remedy certain deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over a specified period of time generally ranging up to two years from the date of sale depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company accrues a provision for estimated future warranty costs based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its product warranties and adjusts, if necessary, the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve, which is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, for actual experience. | ||||

Letters of Credit | ||||
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding an aggregate of $151 million in irrevocable letters of credit which ensure the Company's performance or payment to third parties. Included in this amount is $106 million issued under its $535 million committed revolving credit facilities, which facilities are available through October 26, 2016. Also included is $45 million of letters of credit issued under uncommitted facilities. | ||||
Surety Bonds | ||||
The Company arranges for the issuance of various types of surety bonds, such as license, permit, bid and performance bonds, which are agreements under which the surety company guarantees that the Company will perform in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. These bonds vary in duration although most are issued and outstanding from 3 months to 3 years. These bonds are backed by $12 million of the Company’s letters of credit. If the Company fails to perform under its obligations, the maximum potential payment under these surety bonds is $12 million as of December 31, 2013. Historically, no surety bonds have been drawn upon. | ||||
Purchase Commitments and Termination Fees | ||||
The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and uses several contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for its products. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and to help assure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that allow them to produce and procure inventory based upon forecasted requirements provided by the Company. If the Company does not meet these specified purchase commitments, it could be required to purchase the inventory, or in the case of certain agreements, pay an early termination fee. Historically, the Company has not been required to pay a charge for not meeting its designated purchase commitments with these suppliers, but has been obligated to purchase certain excess inventory levels from its outsourced manufacturers due to actual sales of product varying from forecast and due to transition of manufacturing from one vendor to another. | ||||
The Company’s outsourcing agreements with its most significant contract manufacturers expire in July and August of 2014. After the initial term, the outsourcing agreements are automatically renewed for successive periods of twelve months each, subject to specific termination rights for the Company and the contract manufacturers. All manufacturing of the Company’s products is performed in accordance with either detailed requirements or specifications and product designs furnished by the Company, and is subject to rigorous quality control standards. | ||||
Product Financing Arrangements | ||||
The Company sells products to various resellers that may obtain financing from certain unaffiliated third-party lending institutions. For the Company’s product financing arrangement with resellers outside the U.S., in the event participating resellers default on their payment obligations to the lending institution, the Company is obligated under certain circumstances to guarantee repayment to the lending institution. The repayment amount fluctuates with the level of product financing activity. The guaranteed repayment amount was approximately $3 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company reviews and sets the maximum credit limit for each reseller participating in this financing arrangement. Historically, there have not been any guarantee repayments by the Company. The Company has estimated the fair value of this guarantee as of December 31, 2013, and has determined that it is not significant. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be obligated to repurchase inventory under this arrangement in the future. | ||||
Long-Term Cash Incentive Bonus Plan | ||||
Parent has established a long-term incentive cash bonus plan (“LTIP”). Under the LTIP, Parent will make cash awards available to compensate certain key employees upon the achievement of defined returns on the Sponsors’ initial investment in the Parent (a “triggering event”). Parent has authorized LTIP awards covering a total of $60 million, of which $35 million in awards were outstanding as of December 31, 2013. The Company will begin to recognize compensation expense relative to the LTIP awards upon the occurrence of a triggering event (e.g., a sale or initial public offering). As of December 31, 2013, no compensation expense associated with the LTIP has been recognized. | ||||
Credit Facility Indemnification | ||||
In connection with its obligations under the credit facilities described in Note 7, “Financing Arrangements,” the Company has agreed to indemnify the third-party lending institutions for costs incurred by the institutions related to changes in tax law or other legal requirements. While there have been no amounts paid to the lenders pursuant to this indemnity in the past, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be obligated to indemnify the lenders under this arrangement in the future. As of December 31, 2013, no amounts have been accrued pursuant to this indemnity. | ||||
Transactions with Alcatel-Lucent | ||||
Pursuant to the Contribution and Distribution Agreement effective October 1, 2000, Lucent Technologies, Inc. (now Alcatel-Lucent) contributed to the Company substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations associated with its enterprise networking businesses (the “Company’s Businesses”) and distributed the Company’s stock pro-rata to the shareholders of Lucent (“distribution”). The Contribution and Distribution Agreement, among other things, provides that, in general, the Company will indemnify Alcatel-Lucent for all liabilities including certain pre-distribution tax obligations of Alcatel-Lucent relating to the Company’s Businesses and all contingent liabilities primarily relating to the Company’s Businesses or otherwise assigned to the Company. In addition, the Contribution and Distribution Agreement provides that certain contingent liabilities not allocated to one of the parties will be shared by Alcatel-Lucent and the Company in prescribed percentages. The Contribution and Distribution Agreement also provides that each party will share specified portions of contingent liabilities based upon agreed percentages related to the business of the other party that exceed $50 million. The Company is unable to determine the maximum potential amount of other future payments, if any, that it could be required to make under this agreement. | ||||
The Tax Sharing Agreement governs Alcatel-Lucent’s and the Company’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes for the periods ending on or before the distribution. Generally, pre-distribution taxes or benefits that are clearly attributable to the business of one party will be borne solely by that party, and other pre-distribution taxes or benefits will be shared by the parties based on a formula set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement. The Company may be subject to additional taxes or benefits pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement related to future settlements of audits by state and local and foreign taxing authorities for the periods prior to the Company’s separation from Alcatel-Lucent. |

Subsequent Events | |
Sale of Facility | |
On January 14, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its facility in Westminster, Colorado for net cash of approximately $58 million after deducting applicable fees and expenses and an existing obligation to complete tenant improvements under a lease of the facility, which obligation of the Company was satisfied and discharged in the sale transaction. | |
Financing Arrangements | |
On February 5, 2014, the Company, Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto entered into Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Cash Flow Credit Agreement was amended. | |
Pursuant to Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement, the Company refinanced in full all senior secured term B-5 loans outstanding under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement with the cash proceeds from the Company’s borrowing of approximately $1,138 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured term B-6 loans under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company paid $15 million in cash for certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing. The new senior secured term B-6 loans mature on March 31, 2018, which was the same date on which the senior secured term B-5 loans were scheduled to mature. | |
The new tranche of senior secured term B-6 loans bears interest at a rate per annum equal to either a base rate (subject to a floor of 2.00%) or a LIBOR rate (subject to a floor of 1.00%), in each case plus an applicable margin. Subject to the floor described in the immediately preceding sentence, the base rate is determined by reference to the higher of (1) the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. and (2) the federal funds effective rate plus one half of 1%. The applicable margin for borrowings of senior secured term B-6 loans is 4.50% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings and 5.50% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings, in each case, subject to increase pursuant to the Cash Flow Credit Agreement in connection with the making of certain refinancing, extended or replacement term loans under the Cash Flow Credit Agreement with an Effective Yield (as defined in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement) greater than the applicable Effective Yield payable in respect of the senior secured term B-6 loans at such time plus 50 basis points. | |
Any voluntary prepayment, and certain mandatory prepayments, of principal of the senior secured term B-6 loans, or any amendment to the terms of the senior secured term B-6 loans, the primary purpose of which is to effect a Term B-6 Repricing Transaction (as defined in the Cash Flow Credit Agreement), in each case, after February 5, 2014 and on or prior to August 5, 2014, will be subject to payment of a 1.0% premium on the aggregate principal amount of the senior secured term B-6 loans so prepaid or amended. |
