Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include CommScope Holding Company, Inc., along with its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the ARRIS results of operations are reported in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements from April 4, 2019, the date of acquisition, through December 31, 2019. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and their underlying assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other objective sources. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and 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. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts; reserves for sales returns, discounts, allowances, rebates and distributor price protection programs; inventory excess and obsolescence reserves; product warranty reserves and other contingent liabilities; tax valuation allowances; liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits; purchase price allocations; impairment reviews for investments, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles; and pension and other postretirement benefit costs and liabilities. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of and experience with past and current events and on management’s assumptions about future events, it is at least reasonably possible that they may ultimately differ materially from actual results. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent deposits in banks and cash invested temporarily in various instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at the amount owed by the customer, net of allowances for estimated doubtful accounts, discounts, returns and rebates. The Company maintains Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Costs such as idle facility expense, excessive scrap and re-handling costs are expensed as incurred. The Company maintains reserves to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value, including reserves for excess and obsolete inventory. Long-Lived Assets Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Upon application of acquisition accounting, property, plant and equipment are measured at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date to establish a new historical cost basis. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Useful lives generally range from 10 to 35 years 3 to 10 years Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is assigned to reporting units based on the difference between the purchase price as allocated to the reporting units and the estimated fair value of the identified net assets acquired as allocated to the reporting units. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are carried at their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition less accumulated amortization and any impairment charges. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Asset Impairments 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. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at 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. See Notes 4 and 10 for discussion of asset impairment charges. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Tax benefits that result from uncertain tax positions may be recognized only if they are considered more likely than not to be sustainable, based on their technical merits. The amount of benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is at least 50% likely to be realized. In addition, the Company does not provide for U.S. taxes related to the foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on its long-term intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. These loans are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future, and the foreign currency gains and losses are therefore recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company’s revenue is generated primarily from product or equipment sales. The Company also generates revenue from custom design and installation services as well as bundled sales arrangements that include product, software and services. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations in a contract are satisfied through the transfer of control of the good or service at the amount of consideration expected to be received. The following are required before revenue is recognized: • Identify the contract with the customer. A variety of arrangements are considered contracts; however, contracts typically take the form of a master purchase agreement or customer purchase orders. • Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Performance obligations are identified as promised goods or services that are distinct within an arrangement. • Determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The consideration may include fixed or variable amounts or both. • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. • Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control of the promised goods or services has occurred. This is either at a point in time or over time. Product sales represent over 90% of the Company’s revenue. For these sales, revenue is recognized when control of the product has transferred to the customer, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products and the related software are considered one performance obligation. License contracts include revenue recognized for the licensing of intellectual property, including software, sold separately without products. Functional intellectual property licenses do not meet the criteria for revenue to be recognized over time and revenue is most commonly recognized upon delivery of the license/software to the customer. Certain customer transactions may be project based and include multiple performance obligations based on the bundling of equipment, software and services. When a multiple performance obligation arrangement exists, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price, and revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of each deliverable. To determine the standalone selling price, the Company first looks to establish the standalone selling price through an observable price when the good or service is sold separately in similar circumstances. If the standalone selling price cannot be established through an observable price, the Company will make an estimate based on market conditions, customer specific factors and customer class. The Company may use a combination of approaches to estimate the standalone selling price. For performance obligations recognized over time, judgment is required to evaluate assumptions, including the total estimated costs to determine progress towards completion of the performance obligation and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the entire estimated costs are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Other customer contract types include a variety of post-contract support services offerings, including: • Maintenance and support services provided under annual service-level agreements with the Company’s customers. These services represent stand-ready obligations that are recognized over time (on a straight-line basis over the contract period) because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the services are performed. • Professional services and other similar services consist primarily of “Day 2” services to help customers maximize their utilization of deployed systems. The services are recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the service as the services are performed. • Installation services relate to the routine installation of equipment ordered by the customer at the customer’s site and are distinct performance obligations from delivery of the related hardware. The associated revenues are recognized over time as the services are provided. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to be entitled based on customer contracts. For sales to distributors, system integrators and value-added resellers, revenue is adjusted for variable consideration amounts, including but not limited to estimated discounts, returns, rebates and distributor price protection programs. These estimates are determined based upon historical experience, contract terms, inventory levels in the distributor channel and other related factors. Adjustments to variable consideration estimates are recorded when circumstances indicate revisions may be necessary. A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on project or services arrangements. Unbilled receivables are recorded when revenues are recognized in advance of invoice issuance. A contract asset is any portion of unbilled receivables for which the right to consideration is conditional on a factor other than the passage of time, which is common for certain project contract performance obligations. These assets are presented on a combined basis with accounts receivable and are converted to accounts receivable once the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional, which varies by contract but is generally based on achieving certain acceptance milestones. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset would be one year or less. The Company includes shipping and handling costs billed to customers in net sales and includes the costs incurred to transport product to customers as well as certain internal handling costs, which relate to activities to prepare goods for shipment, as cost of sales. See discussion of the Company’s voluntary change in accounting principle below. Shipping and handling costs incurred after control is transferred to the customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are not accounted for as separate revenue obligations. Effective April 1, 2019, the Company made a voluntary change in accounting principle related to its classification of internal handling costs to prepare goods for shipment. Historically, the Company presented these handling costs within selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). Under the new policy, the Company is presenting these expenses within cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes that this change is preferable as the classification in cost of sales better reflects the costs of generating the related revenue and results in more meaningful presentation of gross margin. Additionally, this presentation enhances the comparability of the Company’s financial statements with industry peers and provides more consistency in the treatment of all shipping and handling costs. The accounting policy change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. There was no change to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, retained earnings (accumulated deficit) or cash flows; however, cost of sales increased by $55.0 million and $62.3 million and SG&A decreased by the same amounts for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recorded handling costs as a component of cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Consolidated Statements of Operations was adjusted to reflect this change; however, there was no other impact on the consolidated financial statements. Leases The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Right of use assets related to operating type leases are reported in other noncurrent assets and the present value of remaining lease obligations is reported in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the periods presented, CommScope does not have any financing type leases. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rates applicable to the economic environment and the duration of the lease, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. The right of use asset for operating leases is measured using the lease liability adjusted for the impact of lease payments made prior to commencement, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and any asset impairments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company remeasures and reallocates the consideration in a lease when there is a modification of the lease that is not accounted for as a separate contract. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in the lease term or a change in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise a lease option. The Company assesses right of use assets for impairment in accordance with its long-lived asset impairment policy. The Company accounts for lease agreements with contractually required lease and non-lease components on a combined basis. Lease payments made for cancellable leases, variable amounts that are not based on an observable index and lease agreements with an original duration of less than twelve months are recorded directly to lease expense. Tax Collected from Customers Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, which are collected by the Company from customers, are excluded from net sales. Product Warranties The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer assurance-type warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over various periods, depending on 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. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $39.5 million, $17.3 million and $21.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Research and Development Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. R&D costs include materials and equipment that have no alternative future use, depreciation on equipment and facilities currently used for R&D purposes, personnel costs, contract services and reasonable allocations of indirect costs, if clearly related to an R&D activity. Expenditures in the pre-production phase of an R&D project are recorded as R&D expense. However, costs incurred in the pre-production phase that are associated with output actually used in production are recorded in cost of sales. A project is considered finished with pre-production efforts when management determines that it has achieved acceptable levels of scrap and yield, which vary by project. Expenditures related to ongoing production are recorded in cost of sales. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities CommScope is exposed to risks resulting from adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. CommScope’s risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments whenever management determines their use to be reasonable and practical. This strategy does not permit the use of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculation. The Company uses forward contracts to hedge a portion of its balance sheet foreign exchange re-measurement risk and to hedge certain planned foreign currency expenditures. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in other expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on the balances and expenditures being hedged. These instruments are not designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes and are marked to market each period through earnings. The Company has a hedging strategy to designate certain foreign currency contracts as net investment hedges to mitigate a portion of the foreign currency risk on the euro net investment in a foreign subsidiary. Hedge effectiveness is assessed each quarter based on the net investment in the foreign subsidiary designated as the hedged item and the changes in the fair value of designated foreign currency contracts based on spot rates. For hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts excluded from hedge effectiveness at inception under the spot method for designated forward contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of each contract and for designated cross-currency swap contracts are recognized as interest accrues. During 2019, the Company implemented a hedging strategy to mitigate a portion of the exposure to changes in cash flows resulting from variable interest rates on the senior secured term loan due 2026 which are based on the one-month LIBOR benchmark rate (see Note 8). Hedge effectiveness is assessed each quarter, and for hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company has elected and documented the use of the normal purchases and sales exception for normal purchase and sales contracts that meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument. See Note 9 for further disclosure related to the derivative instruments and hedging activities. Foreign Currency Translation For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, approximately 41%, 44% and 46%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales were to customers located outside the U.S. A portion of these sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, particularly sales from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The financial position and results of operations of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries have been translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Upon sale or liquidation of an investment in a foreign subsidiary, the amount of net translation gains or losses that have been accumulated in other comprehensive loss attributable to that investment are reported as a gain or loss in earnings in the period in which the sale or liquidation occurs. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company liquidated a foreign subsidiary and recognized $14.0 million in translation losses in other expense, net that had been in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Aggregate foreign currency gains and losses, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables, foreign currency contracts and short-term intercompany advances in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency, are recorded currently in earnings (included in other expense, net) and resulted in losses of $11.8 million, $15.9 million and $8.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses related to certain long-term intercompany loans that are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future and the effective portion of foreign currency contracts designated as net investment hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 9 for disclosure of foreign currency gains and losses specifically related to foreign currency contracts. Equity-Based Compensation The estimated fair value of stock awards is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. Forfeitures of stock awards are recognized as they occur. The Company records deferred tax assets related to compensation expense for awards that are expected to result in future tax deductions for the Company, based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and the Company’s statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it expects to receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and actual tax deductions reported on the Company’s income tax return are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within income tax expense. Earnings (Loss) Per Share 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 years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, 11.2 million, 2.1 million and 1.5 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 year ended December 31, 2019, 2.4 million shares would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 27.0 million 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 have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position. The following table presents the basis for the earnings (loss) per share computations: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Numerator: Net income (loss) for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share $ (929.5 ) $ 140.2 $ 193.8 Dividends on Series A convertible preferred stock (40.7 ) — — Deemed dividends on Series A convertible preferred stock (3.0 ) — — Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ (973.2 ) $ 140.2 $ 193.8 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 193.7 192.0 192.4 Dilutive effect of as-if converted Series A convertible preferred stock — — — Dilutive effect of equity-based awards — 3.3 4.4 Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 193.7 195.3 196.8 Earnings (loss) per share: Basic $ (5.02 ) $ 0.73 $ 1.01 Diluted $ (5.02 ) $ 0.72 $ 0.98 Business Combinations The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which requires the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their respective fair market value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined based upon the Company’s valuation and involves making significant estimates and assumptions based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company uses a measurement period following the acquisition date to gather information that existed as of the acquisition date that is needed to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement period ends once all information is obtained, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Concentrations of Risk Non-derivative financial instruments used by the Company in the normal course of business include letters of credit and commitments to extend credit, primarily accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral on its accounts receivable. These financial instruments involve risk, including the credit risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to those instruments, and the actual loss may exceed the reserves provided in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 17 for further discussion of customer-related concentrations of risk. The Company manages its exposures to credit risk associated with accounts receivable using such tools as credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. CommScope estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the actual payment history and individual circumstances of significant customers as well as the age of receivables. In management’s opinion, as of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have significant unreserved risk of credit loss due to the non-performance of customers or other counterparties related to amounts receivable. However, an adverse change in financial condition of a significant customer or group of customers or in the telecommunications industry could materially affect the Company’s estimates related to doubtful accounts. The principal raw materials purchased by CommScope ( aluminum, bimetals, copper, optical fiber, plastics and other polymers and steel ) are subject to changes in market price as these materials are linked to various commodity markets. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks through effective requirements planning and by working closely with its key suppliers to obtain the best possible pricing and delivery terms. The Company relies on sole suppliers or a limited group of suppliers for certain key components (memory and chip capacitors), subassemblies and modules and a limited group of contract manufacturers to manufacture a significant portion of its products. Any disruption or termination of these arrangements could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019 On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases The adoption effect of the new guidance increased total assets and total liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets by $98.8 million as of January 1, 2019 due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease obligations for operating type leases, net of the elimination of existing prepaid rent, deferred rent and lease termination cost amounts. The adoption of the new standard did not materially affect the Consolidated Statements of Operations; and therefore, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded. Adoption of the new standard also did not materially affect the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 5 for further discussion of the Company’s leasing activities. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (CCA) that is a Service Contract Issued but Not Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 , ASU 2019-05 , ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 (collectively, ASC Topic 326) . The new guidance replaces the current incurred loss method used for determining credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables, with an expected credit loss method. ASC Topic 326 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. The Company is continuing to assess and evaluate assumptions and models to estimate losses. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company will be required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) for the impact as of the date of adoption. As credit losses from the Company's trade receivables have not historically been significant, the Company anticipates that the adoption of ASC Topic 326 will not materially impact the consolidated financial statements . |

Acquisitions | 3. ACQUISITIONS ARRIS 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 shape the future of wired and wireless communications and benefit from key industry trends, including network convergence, fiber and mobility everywhere, 5G, Internet of Things and rapidly changing network and technology architectures. For the year ended December 31, 2019, net sales of $4.0 billion and an operating loss of $863.6 million, was included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the ARRIS business. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $195.3 million of transaction and integration costs related to the Acquisition and these costs were recognized in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Acquisition. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period from the date of acquisition as required by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date Q3 Measurement Period Adjustments Q4 Measurement Period Adjustments Amounts Recognized as of Acquisition Date (as adjusted) Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 556.1 $ — $ — $ 556.1 Accounts receivable 1,151.8 3.2 — 1,155.0 Inventory 1,063.4 — (67.9 ) 995.5 Other current assets 131.0 1.0 — 132.0 Property, plant and equipment 328.2 (4.5 ) (7.1 ) 316.6 Goodwill 2,894.6 (9.0 ) 105.6 2,991.2 Identifiable intangible assets 3,542.8 — (33.2 ) 3,509.6 Other noncurrent assets 463.6 (14.7 ) (1.2 ) 447.7 Less: Liabilities assumed Current liabilities (1,505.9 ) 17.1 (26.2 ) (1,515.0 ) Debt (2,052.0 ) — — (2,052.0 ) Other noncurrent liabilities (959.3 ) 10.4 30.0 (918.9 ) Net acquisition cost $ 5,614.3 $ 3.5 $ — $ 5,617.8 The Company recorded measurement period adjustments on a prospective basis since the acquisition date. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments decreasing intangible assets and inventory by $33.2 million and $67.9 million, respectively, with a corresponding offset to goodwill as a result of the progression of analysis regarding the fair value of the assets and estimated useful lives of the intangibles. Although these adjustments did not have an impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, had these adjustments been recorded as of the acquisition date, the interim period impacts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for 2019 would have been as follows: • Amortization expense for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2019 would have increased (decreased) by $(23.8) million, $(23.7) million and $47.5 million, respectively. • Cost of sales for the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2019 would have increased (decreased) by $(14.5) million, $(9.9) million, and $24.4 million, respectively. The impact of other measurement period adjustments to the Consolidated Statements of Operations was not material to the year ended December 31, 2019 or the interim periods within. The fair value of net accounts receivable was $1,155.0 million with a gross contractual amount of $1,176.5 million. The Company expects $21.5 million to be uncollectible. The debt of $2,052.0 million was repaid on April 4, 2019. Total consideration excludes $131.1 million related to the cash settlement of outstanding unvested ARRIS equity compensation awards. These cash settled equity awards were recorded as transaction costs during the year ended December 31, 2019 and are included in SG&A in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which requires the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their respective fair market value as of the acquisition date. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures The goodwill arising from the Acquisition is believed to result from ARRIS’ reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Various valuation techniques were used to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed which use significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy. Using these valuation approaches requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. The estimated fair values may change as the Company completes its valuation analyses of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the first quarter of 2020. The table below summarizes the preliminary valuations of the intangible assets acquired that were determined by management to meet the criteria for recognition apart from goodwill and determined to have finite lives. The values presented below are preliminary estimates and are subject to change as management completes its valuation of the Acquisition. Estimated Fair Value Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (in years) Customer contracts and relationships $ 1,595.0 17 Trademarks 414.0 13 Patents and technologies 1,442.6 5 Backlog 58.0 0.5 Total amortizable intangible assets $ 3,509.6 The amounts related to ARRIS included in the following unaudited pro forma information are based on their historical results and, therefore, may not be indicative of the actual results when operated as part of CommScope. The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimates based on information available at the time the pro forma information was prepared and may differ from the adjustments that may actually have been required. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma financial information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the results that would have been realized had the A cquisition occurred as of the date indicated or that may be achieved in the future. The following table presents the unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for CommScope for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 as though the Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2018 (in millions, except per share amounts): Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Net sales $ 9,782.1 $ 11,260.3 Net loss attributable to common stockholders (749.0 ) (486.7 ) Net loss per diluted share $ (3.87 ) $ (2.53 ) These unaudited pro forma results reflect adjustments for net interest expense for the debt related to the Acquisition; depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment that has been marked up to its estimated fair value; amortization for intangible assets with finite lives identified separate from goodwill; equity-based compensation for equity awards issued to ARRIS employees; and the related income tax impacts of these adjustments. The unaudited pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2019 were adjusted to exclude certain non-recurring transaction and integration costs, acquisition accounting adjustments related to the markup of inventory to its estimated fair value and deferred revenue, and the related income tax impacts. The unaudited pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2018 were adjusted to include the impact of these items. These adjustments in the aggregate on a pre-tax basis were $441.2 million and $(444.3) million and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cable Exchange On August 1, 2017, the Company acquired Cable Exchange in an all-cash transaction. The Company paid $108.7 million ($105.2 million net of cash acquired) in 2017 and $11.0 million in 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $3.5 million payable in 2020 to complete the transaction. Cable Exchange is a quick-turn supplier of fiber optic and copper assemblies for data, voice and video communications. Net sales of Cable Exchange products are included in the CCS segment for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and were not material. The allocation of the purchase price, based on estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is as follows (in millions): Estimated Fair Value Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 3.5 Accounts receivable 6.4 Inventory 4.4 Property, plant and equipment 0.9 Goodwill 49.6 Identifiable intangible assets 61.1 Less: Liabilities assumed (2.7 ) Net acquisition cost $ 123.2 The goodwill arising from the purchase price allocation of the Cable Exchange acquisition is believed to result from the c ompany’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. |

The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average amortization periods in the following table. The aggregate weighted-average amortization period is 11.6 years. Weighted- Average Amortization Period (in years) Customer base 13.8 Trade names and trademarks 16.3 Patents and technologies 5.9 Amortization expense for intangible assets was $593.2 million, $264.6 million and $271.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As a result, the Company performed impairment testing for goodwill under the Connectivity segment reporting unit structure immediately before the change and determined that no impairment existed. The Company reallocated goodwill to the new reporting units and performed impairment testing for goodwill immediately after the change and determined no impairment existed. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company determined that indicators of possible goodwill impairment existed for the reporting units from the acquired ARRIS business. Since the closing of the Acquisition on April 4, 2019, the ARRIS reporting units (CPE, N&C and Ruckus) had experienced challenges that impacted the Company’s performance. These challenges included declines in spending by cable operator customers that resulted in declines in net sales and operating income for these reporting units and the loss of key leaders of these reporting units following the Acquisition. Certain of these challenges were expected to persist throughout the remainder of 2019 and were expected to impact management’s ability to grow these businesses at the rate that was originally estimated when the Acquisition was closed. The Company performed goodwill impairment testing during the second quarter of 2019 and determined that no impairment existed. No indicators of goodwill impairment were identified in the third quarter of 2019. As a result of the annual impairment test performed in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges totaling $376.1 million, of which $192.8 million related to the CPE reporting unit, $142.1 million related to the N&C reporting unit and $41.2 million related to the Ruckus reporting unit. These reporting units were acquired in the ARRIS acquisition on April 4, 2019 (see Note 3). During the Company’s annual strategic planning process in the fourth quarter of 2019, several factors arose, including an assessment of historical and future operating results, key customer inputs, new assessments of market trends and anticipated expenditures required to support the changing market dynamics affecting each of the ARRIS reporting units. As a result of these factors, the Company concluded that the fair value of each of these reporting units was less than its carrying value. The goodwill impairment expense was recorded in the asset impairments line on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. 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. |

The interest rate is, at the Company’s option, either (1) the base rate (which is the highest of (w) the greater of the then-current federal funds rate set by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the overnight federal funds rate, in each case, plus 0.5%, (x) the prime rate on such day, (y) the one-month Eurodollar rate published on such date plus 1.00% and (z) 1.00% per annum) plus an applicable margin of 2.25% or (2) one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR or, if available from all lenders, 12-month LIBOR or any shorter period (selected at the option of CommScope, Inc.) plus an applicable margin of 3.25%. The 2026 Term Loan is subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.00%.

CommScope, Inc. may voluntarily prepay loans under the 2026 Term Loan, subject to minimum amounts, with prior notice but without premium or penalty. CommScope, Inc. must prepay the 2026 Term Loan with the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, the incurrence or issuance of specified refinancing indebtedness and, commencing with the fiscal year ending in December 2020, 50% of excess cash flow (such percentage subject to reduction based on the achievement of specified Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratios), in each case, subject to certain reinvestment rights and other exceptions. CommScope, Inc.’s obligations under the 2026 Term Loan are guaranteed by the Company and each of CommScope, Inc.’s direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (subject to certain permitted exceptions based on immateriality thresholds of aggregate assets and revenues of excluded U.S. subsidiaries). The 2026 Term Loan is secured by a lien on substantially all of CommScope, Inc.’s and the guarantors’ current and fixed assets (subject to certain exceptions), and the 2026 Term Loan will have a first-priority lien on all fixed assets and a second-priority lien on all current assets (second in priority to the liens securing the new asset-based revolving credit facility), in each case, subject to other permitted liens. The 2026 Term Loan contains customary negative covenants consistent with those applicable to the New Notes, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of CommScope, Inc. and its subsidiaries to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, pay dividends (except with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock) or make other restricted payments, sell or otherwise transfer assets or enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The 2026 Term Loan provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the obligations thereunder may be accelerated. Such events of default will include payment defaults, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, material money judgments, material pension-plan events, change of control and other customary events of default. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility On April 4, 2019, the Company replaced its asset-based revolving credit facility with a new asset-based revolving credit facility in an amount of up to $1.0 billion, subject to borrowing capacity, with a maturity in April 2024, available to CommScope, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries designated as co-borrowers (the Revolving Borrowers). The ability to draw under the new asset-based revolving credit facility or issue letters of credit is conditioned upon, among other things, delivery of prior written notice of a borrowing or issuance, as applicable, the ability of the borrowers to reaffirm the representations and warranties contained in the new asset-based revolving credit facility and the absence of any default or event of default. In connection with the new asset-based revolving credit facility, the Company incurred costs of approximately $13.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, which were recorded in other noncurrent assets and are being amortized over the term of the credit facility. The Company borrowed and repaid $15.0 million under the new asset-based revolving credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019 Letters of credit under the new asset-based revolving credit facility are limited to the lesser of (x) $250.0 million and (y) the aggregate unused amount of commitments under the new asset-based revolving credit facility then in effect. Subject to certain conditions, the new asset-based revolving credit facility may be expanded by up to $400.0 million in additional commitments. Loans under the new asset-based revolving credit facility may be denominated, at the option of the Revolving Borrowers, in U.S. dollars, euros, pounds sterling or Swiss francs. Borrowings under the new asset-based revolving credit facility are limited by borrowing base calculations based on the sum of specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory, minus the amount of any applicable reserves. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either an adjusted Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.50% or, at the option of the Revolving Borrowers, a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.25% to 0.50%. The obligations of the Revolv ing Borrowers under the new asset-based revolving credit facility are guaranteed by the Company, CommScope, Inc. and each of CommScope, Inc.’s direct and indirect wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries (subject to certain permitted exceptions based on immateriality thresholds of aggregate assets and revenues of excluded U.S. subsidiaries). The new asset-based revolving credit facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Revolving Borrowers’ and the guarantors’ current and fixed assets (subject to certain exceptions). The new asset-based revolving credit facility has a first-priority lien on all current assets and a second-priority lien on all fixed assets (second in priority to the liens securing the 2024 Secured Notes, the 2026 Secured Notes and the 2026 Term Loan), in each case, subject to other permitted liens. The following fees are applicable under the new asset-based revolving credit facility: (i) an unused line fee of (x) 0.25% per annum of the unused portion of the new asset-based revolving credit facility when the average unused portion of the facility is less than 50% of the aggregate commitments under the new asset-based revolving credit facility or (y) 0.375% per annum of the unused portion of the new asset-based revolving credit facility when the average unused portion of the facility is equal to or greater than 50% of the aggregate commitments under the new asset-based revolving credit facility; (ii) a letter of credit participation fee on the aggregate stated amount of each letter of credit equal to the applicable margin for adjusted Eurodollar rate loans, as applicable; (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.125% per annum, multiplied by the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all applicable letters of credit issued by such letter of credit issuer; and (iv) certain other customary fees and expenses of the lenders and agents thereunder. The Revolving Borrowers will be required to make prepayments under the new asset-based revolving credit facility at any time when, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the new asset-based revolving credit facility exceeds the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments in respect of the new asset-based revolving credit facility and the borrowing base. The new asset-based revolving credit facility contains customary covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the ability of CommScope, Inc. and its subsidiaries to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, pay dividends (except with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock), sell or otherwise transfer assets, optionally prepay or modify terms of any junior indebtedness, enter into certain transactions with affiliates or change lines of business. The new asset-based revolving credit facility contains a Covenant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the asset-based revolving credit facility) of 1.00 to 1.00. The credit agreement provides that, in the event excess availability under the asset-based revolving credit facility is less than the greater of $80 million and 10% of the borrowing base as of the end of any fiscal quarter, the Covenant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for that fiscal quarter must be tested and must exceed the level set forth above. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s excess availability and Covenant Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio were in excess of the asset-based revolving credit facility’s requirements. The new asset-based revolving credit facility provides that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, the obligations thereunder may be accelerated and the lending commitments terminated. Such events of default include payment defaults, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, material money judgments, material pension-plan events, certain change of control events and other customary events of default. Other Matters The following table summarizes scheduled maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 2019: 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Thereafter Scheduled maturities of long-term debt $ 32.0 $ 182.0 $ 32.0 $ 32.0 $ 1,932.0 $ 7,782.0 The Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries held $3,773 million, or 26%, of total assets and $714 million, or 6%, of total liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and accounted for $3,044 million, or 37%, of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held $2,354 million, or 36%, of total assets and $454 million, or 9%, of total liabilities.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities | 9. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES Derivatives Not Designated As Hedging Instruments The Company uses forward contracts to hedge a portion of its balance sheet foreign exchange re-measurement risk and to hedge certain planned foreign currency expenditures. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had foreign exchange contracts outstanding with maturities of up to ten months and aggregate notional values of $508.0 million (based on exchange rates as of December 31, 2019). Unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in other expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on the balances and expenditures being hedged.

Fair Value Measurements | 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 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 December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, are as follows: December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Valuation Inputs Assets: Foreign currency contracts $ 10.7 $ 10.7 $ 2.5 $ 2.5 Level 2 Liabilities: 5.00% senior notes due 2027 750.0 696.4 750.0 608.0 Level 2 8.25% senior notes due 2027 1,000.0 1,052.5 — — Level 2 6.00% senior notes due 2025 1,500.0 1,501.7 1,500.0 1,355.6 Level 2 5.50% senior notes due 2024 650.0 656.0 650.0 591.8 Level 2 5.00% senior notes due 2021 150.0 149.9 650.0 641.9 Level 2 6.00% senior secured notes due 2026 1,500.0 1,595.6 — — Level 2 5.50% senior secured notes due 2024 1,250.0 1,302.1 — — Level 2 Senior secured term loan due 2026 3,192.0 3,219.9 — — Level 2 Senior secured term loan due 2022 — — 486.3 461.9 Level 2 Foreign currency contracts 5.9 5.9 3.0 3.0 Level 2 Interest rate swap contracts 16.3 16.3 — — Level 2 Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a pretax goodwill impairment charge of $376.1 million related to the CPE, N&C and Ruckus segments (see Note 4). The fair value of each reporting unit was determined using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model and a guideline public company approach, with 75% of the value determined using the DCF model and 25% of the value determined using the market approach. Under the DCF method, the fair value of a reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the guideline public company method, the fair value is based upon market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. The inputs to both the DCF model and the guideline public company analysis are Level 3 valuation inputs. Changes in any of these inputs, among other factors, could negatively affect the fair value of one or more of the Company’s reporting units and result in a material impairment charge in the future. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $15.0 million that was allocated equally to the Connectivity and Mobility segments to fully impair an equity investment in a privately-held company. The determination of the impairment charge was based on 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. |

Employee Benefit Plans | 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Defined Contribution Plans The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have defined contribution retirement savings plans, the most significant of which is a 401(k) plan in the U.S. With the acquisition of ARRIS, the Company assumed sponsorship of their U.S. 401(k) plan and various other domestic and international defined contribution retirement savings plans. These plans allow employees meeting certain requirements to contribute a portion of their compensation on a pretax and/or after-tax basis in accordance with guidelines established by the plans and the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authorities. The Company matches a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company made contributions to defined contribution retirement savings plans of $41.8 million, $24.0 million and $25.9 million, respectively. The Company maintains noncontributory and contributory deferred compensation plans including some assumed with the acquisition of ARRIS. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized pretax costs of $3.5 million, $0.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, related to these plans. The liability related to these plans was $43.8 million and $32.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Pension Plans The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans covering certain former domestic employees and certain current and former foreign employees. With the acquisition of ARRIS, the Company assumed sponsorship of various other domestic and international defined benefit pension plans covering current and former employees. Included in the defined benefit pension plans are both funded and unfunded plans. The following table summarizes information for the defined benefit pension plans: December 31, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2019 2018 2019 2018 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation, beginning $ 2.2 $ 156.7 $ 208.8 $ 240.7 Obligation assumed in ARRIS acquisition 10.0 — 12.6 — Service cost — — 4.0 4.1 Interest cost 0.3 4.2 5.2 5.2 Actuarial loss (gain) 0.9 (4.6 ) 27.5 (18.0 ) Benefits paid (0.6 ) (10.7 ) (4.6 ) (9.4 ) Settlements — (143.4 ) (6.4 ) (0.8 ) Foreign exchange and other — — 4.4 (13.0 ) Benefit obligation, ending $ 12.8 $ 2.2 $ 251.5 $ 208.8 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets, beginning $ — $ 161.0 $ 203.4 $ 226.5 Assets assumed in ARRIS acquisition — — 4.2 — Employer and plan participant contributions 0.6 1.7 4.9 5.6 Return on plan assets — (8.6 ) 25.0 (6.7 ) Benefits paid (0.6 ) (10.7 ) (4.6 ) (9.4 ) Settlements — (143.4 ) (6.4 ) (0.8 ) Foreign exchange and other — — 4.3 (11.8 ) Fair value of plan assets, ending $ — $ — $ 230.8 $ 203.4 Funded status, net liability or (net asset) $ 12.8 $ 2.2 $ 20.7 $ 5.4 The following table presents the balance sheet location of the Company's pension liabilities and assets: December 31, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2019 2018 2019 2018 Accrued and other liabilities $ (0.8 ) $ (0.2 ) $ (0.5 ) $ (0.3 ) Other noncurrent liabilities (12.0 ) (2.0 ) (23.2 ) (11.3 ) Other noncurrent assets — — 3.0 6.2 The Company terminated a significant U.S. defined benefit pension plan in the fourth quarter of 2018 through the purchase of annuities. Upon termination, the Company recognized a pretax charge in other expense, net, of $34.5 million in 2018 primarily related to unrecognized net actuarial losses previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The accumulated benefit obligation for the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $12.8 million and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the accumulated benefit obligation for the Company’s non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $211.8 million and $174.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following table summarizes information for the Company’s pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets: December 31, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2019 2018 2019 2018 Projected benefit obligation $ 12.8 $ 2.2 $ 30.9 $ 13.1 Accumulated benefit obligation 12.8 2.2 26.1 11.5 Fair value of plan assets — — 8.5 3.8 The following table summarizes pretax amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss: December 31, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2019 2018 2019 2018 Unrecognized net actuarial loss $ (1.3 ) $ (0.4 ) $ (31.5 ) $ (22.8 ) Unrecognized prior service cost — — (0.7 ) (0.7 ) Total $ (1.3 ) $ (0.4 ) $ (32.2 ) $ (23.5 ) Actuarial gains and losses are amortized using a corridor approach. The corridor is equal to 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation and the fair value of the assets. Gains and losses in excess of the corridor are generally amortized over the average remaining life of the plan participants. Pretax amounts for net periodic benefit cost and other amounts included in other comprehensive income (loss) for the defined benefit pension plans consisted of the following components: Year Ended December 31, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 Service cost $ — $ — $ — $ 4.0 $ 4.1 $ 4.9 Interest cost 0.3 4.2 5.9 5.2 5.2 5.3 Recognized actuarial loss — 0.4 0.7 0.7 1.3 1.5 Expected return on plan assets — (5.1 ) (6.8 ) (6.8 ) (7.7 ) (7.6 ) Settlement loss — 34.5 — 0.9 — — Net periodic benefit cost (income) 0.3 34.0 (0.2 ) 4.0 2.9 4.1 Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations included in other comprehensive income (loss): Change in unrecognized net actuarial loss (gain) 0.9 8.7 (4.7 ) 8.7 (5.6 ) (4.0 ) Change in unrecognized prior service cost — — — — 0.3 0.4 Settlement — (34.5 ) — — — — Total included in other comprehensive income (loss) 0.9 (25.8 ) (4.7 ) 8.7 (5.3 ) (3.6 ) Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and included in other comprehensive income (loss) $ 1.2 $ 8.2 $ (4.9 ) $ 12.7 $ (2.4 ) $ 0.5 The Company reports the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from the services rendered by the employee and records the other components of net periodic benefit cost in other expense, net. Assumptions Significant weighted average assumptions used in determining benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost are as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2019 2018 2017 2019 2018 2017 Benefit obligations: Discount rate 2.95 % 3.70 % 3.50 % 1.65 % 2.50 % 2.23 % Rate of compensation increase — % — % — % 3.74 % 3.92 % 3.92 % Net periodic benefit cost: Discount rate 3.70 % 3.50 % 3.94 % 2.50 % 2.23 % 2.38 % Rate of return on plan assets — % — % 4.10 % 3.03 % 3.41 % 3.49 % Rate of compensation increase — % — % — % 3.92 % 3.92 % 4.04 % The Company considered the available yields on high-quality fixed-income investments with maturities corresponding to the Company’s expected benefit obligations to determine the discount rates at each measurement date. Plan Assets In developing the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considered the expected long-term rate of return on individual asset classes. Expected return on plan assets is based on the market value of the assets. A portion of the non-U.S. pension assets are managed by independent investment advisors with an objective of transitioning to a portfolio of fixed income and absolute return investments that matches the durations of the obligations as the funded status of each plan improves. The absolute return investment fund is a diversified portfolio designed to achieve long-term total returns. The remainder of the non-U.S. pension assets is invested with the objective of maximizing return. Mutual funds classified as Level 1 are valued at net asset value, which is based on the fair value of the funds’ underlying securities. Certain mutual funds are classified as Level 2 because a portion of the funds’ underlying assets are valued using significant other observable inputs. Other assets are primarily composed of fixed income investments (including insurance and real estate products) and are valued based on the investment’s stated rate of return, which approximates market interest rates. The Company had no U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. The estimated fair values and the valuation input levels of the Company’s non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan assets are as follows: December 31, 2019 Non-U.S. Plans Level 1 Fair Value Level 2 Fair Value Mutual funds: International equity $ 27.7 $ 16.4 International debt 37.7 97.5 Absolute return — 33.8 Other 8.3 9.4 Total $ 73.7 $ 157.1 December 31, 2018 Non-U.S. Plans Level 1 Fair Value Level 2 Fair Value Mutual funds: International equity $ 22.6 $ 25.5 International debt 36.1 82.4 Absolute return — 26.2 Other 2.9 7.7 Total $ 61.6 $ 141.8 Expected Cash Flows The Company expects to contribute $0.8 million to U.S defined benefit pension plans and $5.1 million to non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans during 2020. The following table summarizes projected benefit payments from pension plans through 2029, including benefits attributable to estimated future service (in millions): U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2020 $ 0.8 $ 7.4 2021 0.8 6.1 2022 0.8 6.8 2023 0.9 6.3 2024 0.9 9.0 2025-2029 4.6 52.7 Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company sponsors postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans that provide benefits to certain former U.S. employees and certain U.S. full-time employees who retire from the Company. The health care plans contain various cost-sharing features such as participant contributions, deductibles, coinsurance and caps, with Medicare as the primary provider of health care benefits for eligible retirees. The Company amended certain of the plans to terminate benefits as of December 31, 2018 and recognized a pre-tax gain of $9.7 million in other expense, net in 2018, primarily related to the reclassification of unrecognized prior service credits and unrecognized net actuarial gains from accumulated other comprehensive loss. The accounting for the remainder of the health care plans anticipates future cost-sharing changes that are consistent with the Company’s expressed intent to maintain a consistent level of cost sharing or capped benefits with retirees. There are no plan assets associated with these post-retirement health care and life insurance benefit plans. The benefit obligation for the remaining plans was $3.9 million and $4.2 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, primarily recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The pretax gains recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss were $2.3 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, mostly related to unrecognized actuarial gains. The net periodic benefit income of $1.0 million, $7.4 million (excluding the gain discussed above related to the termination of certain benefits) and $4.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, resulted primarily from the amortization of net actuarial gains and prior service credits. |

A valuation allowance of $10.5 million has been established against these deferred tax assets. The deferred tax asset for state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2019 includes state net operating loss carryforwards (net of federal tax impact) of $65.0 million, which begin to expire in 2022, and state tax credit carryforwards (net of federal tax impact) of $56.0 million which begin to expire in 2020. A valuation allowance of $90.6 million has been established against these and other state income tax related deferred tax assets. The deferred tax assets for foreign net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2019 includes foreign net operating loss carryforwards (net of federal tax effects) of $509.2 million, which will begin to expire in 2020, and foreign tax credit carryforwards (net of federal tax effects) of $14.2 million, which begin to expire in 2023. Certain of these foreign net operating loss carryforwards are subject to local restrictions limiting their utilization. Valuation allowances of $489.9 million have been established related to these foreign deferred tax assets. In addition to the valuation allowances detailed above, the Company has also established a valuation allowance of $5.6 million against other deferred tax assets. Following enactment of U.S. tax reform and the associated one-time transition tax, in general, repatriation of foreign earnings to the U.S. can be completed with no incremental U.S. tax. However, repatriation of foreign earnings could subject the Company to U.S. state and non-U.S. jurisdictional taxes (including withholding taxes) on distributions. The following table reflects a reconciliation of the beginning and end of period amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ 20.1 $ 46.6 $ 48.3 Increase related to prior periods 12.3 4.0 9.1 Decrease related to prior periods (1.2 ) (0.7 ) (0.7 ) Increase related to current periods 8.5 — 1.1 Decrease related to settlements with taxing authorities (1.9 ) (3.9 ) (0.8 ) Decrease related to lapse in statutes of limitations (15.0 ) (25.9 ) (10.4 ) Increase related to acquisition 169.1 — — Balance at end of period $ 191.9 $ 20.1 $ 46.6 The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in future periods was $147.2 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company operates in numerous jurisdictions worldwide and is subject to routine tax audits on a regular basis. The determination of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits involves significant management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and tax laws in each of these jurisdictions. Unrecognized tax benefits are reviewed and evaluated on an ongoing basis and may be adjusted for changing facts and circumstances including the lapse of applicable statutes of limitation and closure of tax examinations. Although the timing and outcome of such events are difficult to predict, the Company estimates that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding the impact of accrued interest and penalties, may be reduced by up to $6.0 million within the next twelve months. The Company provides for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had accrued $10.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for interest and penalties. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the net expense (benefit) for interest and penalties recognized through income tax expense (benefit) was $2.1 million, $(3.8) million and $0.1 million, respectively. The Company files federal, state and local tax returns with statutes of limitation generally ranging from 3 to 4 years. The Company is generally no longer subject to federal tax examinations for years prior to 2016 or state and local tax examinations for years prior to 2015. Tax returns filed by the Company’s significant foreign subsidiaries are generally subject to statutes of limitations of 3 to 7 years and are generally no longer subject to examination for years prior to 2014. In many jurisdictions, tax authorities retain the ability to review prior years’ tax returns and to adjust any net operating loss or tax credit carryforwards from these years that are available to be utilized in subsequent periods. During 2019, the Company recognized $16.9 million related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations and the conclusion of various domestic and foreign examinations.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock | 14. SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK On April 4, 2019, the Company issued and sold 1,000,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock to Carlyle Partners VII S1 Holdings, L.P. (Carlyle) for $1.0 billion, or $1,000 per share, pursuant to an Investment Agreement between the Company and Carlyle, dated November 8, 2018 (the Investment Agreement). In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $3.0 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal expenses and other offering-related expenses on behalf of Carlyle, and therefore treated these incremental expenses as a deemed dividend during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5.5% per year, payable quarterly in arrears. If CommScope does not declare and pay a dividend, the dividend rate will increase by 2.5% to 8.0% per year (and that rate will increase by an additional 0.50% every three months until such unpaid dividend is declared and paid, subject to a cap of 11.0% per year) until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid in full. Dividends can be paid in cash, in-kind through the issuance of additional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or any combination of the two, at the Company’s option. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company authorized $40.7 million in dividends due for the dividend payment dates in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2019. The dividends were paid on July 1, 2019, the first business day following the initial payment date, September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2019, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations. The Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of CommScope common stock at an initial conversion rate of 36.3636 shares of common stock per share of the Convertible Preferred Stock (equivalent to $27.50 per common share). The conversion rate is subject to customary anti-dilution and other adjustments. At any time after the third anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock, if the volume weighted average price of CommScope’s common stock exceeds the conversion price of $49.50, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, for at least thirty trading days in any period of forty-five consecutive trading days (including the final five trading days of any such forty-five-trading day period) all of the Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted at the election of CommScope into the relevant number of shares of CommScope common stock. Pending shareholder approval, to the extent required under Nasdaq listing rules, the issuance of shares of CommScope common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock and the 2,100,000 shares of common stock issuable by CommScope from capacity assumed under the existing share plans of ARRIS in connection with the Acquisition is capped at 19.9% of the CommScope common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Acquisition. On any date during the three months following the eight year and six-month anniversary of the Investment Agreement closing date and the three months following each anniversary thereafter, holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will have the right to require CommScope to redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Preferred Stock at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption price is payable, at the Company’s option, in cash or a combination of cash and common stock, subject to certain restrictions. Upon certain change of control events involving CommScope, CommScope has the right, subject to the holder’s right to convert prior to such redemption, to redeem all of the Convertible Preferred Stock for the greater of (i) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the liquidation preference of the Convertible Preferred Stock, all accrued but unpaid dividends and, if the applicable redemption date is prior to the fifth anniversary of the first dividend payment date, the present value, discounted at a rate of 10%, of any remaining scheduled dividends through the five year anniversary of the first dividend payment date, assuming CommScope chose to pay such dividends in cash and (ii) the consideration the holders would have received if they had converted their shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock into CommScope common stock immediately prior to the change of control event. To the extent that CommScope does not exercise the redemption right described in the foregoing sentence, following the effective date of any such change of control event, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock can require CommScope to repurchase the Convertible Preferred Stock at the greater of (i) an amount in cash equal to 100% of the liquidation preference thereof plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and (ii) the consideration the holders would have received if they had converted their shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock into CommScope common stock immediately prior to the change of control event. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the Company’s common stock on an as-converted basis. Holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a separate class vote with respect to, among other things, amendments to CommScope’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Convertible Preferred Stock, issuances by CommScope of securities that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Convertible Preferred Stock and issuances of shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock after the closing date of the Acquisition, other than shares issued as dividends with respect to shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock. |

Stockholders' Equity | 15. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Stock Repurchase Program During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company repurchased 4.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock at an average cost of $36.50 per share. The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during the years ended December 31, 2019 or 2018. Equity-Based Compensation Plans Effective June 21, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2019 Plan) authorizing 8.0 million shares for issuance, plus additional shares underlying awards outstanding under the predecessor plans that are forfeited or cancelled after the effective date of the 2019 Plan. Awards under the 2019 Plan may include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units (including restricted stock units (RSUs) and deferred stock units), performance awards (represents any of the awards already listed with a performance-vesting component), other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. Shares remaining available for grant under the predecessor plans were carried over into the 2019 Plan and all future equity awards will be made from the 2019 Plan. Awards granted prior to June 21, 2019 remain subject to the provisions of the predecessor plans. As of December 31, 2019, there were 4.0 million shares available for future grants under the 2019 Plan. As of December 31, 2019, $166.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs) is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.5 years. There were no significant capitalized equity-based compensation costs at December 31, 2019. The following table shows a summary of the equity-based compensation expense included in the Statements of Operations: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Selling, general and administrative $ 55.1 $ 34.2 $ 31.8 Cost of sales 13.5 5.7 5.3 Research and development 22.2 5.0 4.7 Total equity-based compensation expense $ 90.8 $ 44.9 $ 41.8 Stock Options 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. In prior years, these awards have generally vested over three years following the grant date and have a contractual term of ten years. During 2019, the Company granted 7.4 million stock options that vest over five years with a contractual term of ten years. The awards also contain an accelerated vesting term for a qualifying retirement during the period. Half of these awards vest based on a time-based component and the other half vest based on a performance-based component which is defined for each year but also includes a catchup feature over the five years. The number of shares that is expected to be issued is adjusted based on the probable achievement of the performance target. The final number of shares issued and the related compensation will be based on the final performance metrics. The following table summarizes the stock option activity (in millions, except per share data and years): Shares Weighted Average Option Exercise Price Per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years Aggregate Intrinsic Value Options outstanding at December 31, 2018 4.7 $ 15.51 Granted 7.4 $ 18.47 Exercised (0.8 ) $ 6.16 Expired (0.1 ) $ 30.04 Forfeited (1.6 ) $ 19.47 Options outstanding at December 31, 2019 9.6 $ 17.70 7.0 $ 18.8 Options vested at December 31, 2019 3.3 $ 14.10 2.8 $ 18.8 Options unvested at December 31, 2019 6.3 $ 19.63 9.3 $ — The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $9.8 million, $12.7 million and $31.2 million, respectively. The exercise prices of outstanding options at December 31, 2019 were in the following ranges (in millions, except per share data and years): Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Shares Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life in years Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share $2.96 to $5.74 2.1 1.1 $ 5.74 2.1 $ 5.74 $5.75 to $22.99 6.0 9.2 $ 18.18 0.1 $ 8.68 $23.00 to $42.32 1.5 6.7 $ 33.11 1.1 $ 31.31 $2.96 to $42.32 9.6 7.0 3.3 $ 14.10 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 zero. 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. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock option awards granted: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Expected option term (in years) 6.5 6.0 6.0 Risk-free interest rate 2.2 % 2.7 % 2.0 % Expected volatility 40.0 % 35.0 % 40.0 % Weighted average exercise price $ 18.47 $ 38.34 $ 38.00 Weighted average fair value at grant date $ 8.00 $ 14.83 $ 15.72 Restricted Stock Units RSUs entitle the holder to shares of common stock after a vesting period that generally ranges from one to three years. The fair value of the awards is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price. On April 4, 2019, the Company granted 3.6 million RSUs to ARRIS employees to replace a portion of their outstanding awards under ARRIS equity-compensation plans as of the Acquisition date. These awards assumed the same terms and vesting schedule as the ARRIS RSUs they replaced. In general, these awards are time-vesting over a four-year The following table summarizes the RSU activity (in millions, except per share data): Restricted Stock Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Non-vested share units at December 31, 2018 2.0 $ 35.43 Granted 8.4 $ 20.29 Vested and shares issued (1.9 ) $ 28.78 Forfeited (0.8 ) $ 25.48 Non-vested share units at December 31, 2019 7.7 $ 22.30 The weighted average grant date fair value per unit of these awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $20.29, $37.87 and $37.90, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $56.0 million, $42.1 million and $42.9 million, respectively. Performance Share Units PSUs are stock awards in which the number of shares ultimately received by the employee depends on Company performance against specified targets. Such awards typically vest over three years and the number of shares issued can vary from 0% to 200% of the number of PSUs granted, depending on performance. The fair value of each PSU is determined on the date of grant based on the Company’s stock price. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized is based on the final performance metrics compared to the targets specified in the grants. In October 2019, the Company awarded 2.3 million PSUs under a special incentive plan based on the Company’s performance for the second half of 2019. The special awards vest over one year and the number of shares could vary from 0% to 130% of the number of PSUs granted, depending on performance. A better than target earnings performance was achieved for these PSUs resulting in a favorable performance adjustment. The following table summarizes the PSU activity (in millions, except per share data): Performance Share Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Non-vested share units at December 31, 2018 0.3 $ 33.52 Granted 2.3 $ 11.19 Vested and shares issued (0.1 ) $ 25.10 Forfeited (0.1 ) $ 18.42 Performance adjustment 0.3 $ 11.19 Non-vested share units at December 31, 2019 2.7 $ 12.47 The weighted average grant date fair value per unit of these awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $11.19, $38.34 and $38.00, respectively. The total fair value of PSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $2.7 million, $7.9 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 2017 Product warranty accrual, beginning of period $ 15.6 $ 16.9 $ 21.6 Obligation assumed in ARRIS acquisition 57.4 — — Provision for warranty claims 18.4 6.2 4.3 Warranty claims paid (30.4 ) (7.4 ) (9.1 ) Foreign exchange — (0.1 ) 0.1 Product warranty accrual, end of period $ 61.0 $ 15.6 $ 16.9 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. Legal Proceedings The Company is a 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 outcome of these claims and notices is uncertain and a reasonable estimate of the loss from unfavorable outcomes in these matters cannot be determined, an adverse outcome could result in a material loss. The Company is also 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. On October 15, 2018, the Company intervened as a defendant in Fractus, S.A. (Fractus) v. CommScope Technologies LLC, T-Mobile U.S., Inc., T-Mobile USA, Inc., Verizon Communications, Inc. and Cello Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, which is a consolidated patent infringement action brought by Fractus, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the defendants infringed on Fractus’ patents on cellular base station antenna technologies (the Fractus Litigation). The jury trial began in October 2019. In order to minimize risk, and without admitting liability, on October 9, 2019, the Company reached an agreement with Fractus for $55.0 million, with $30.0 million payable in January 2020 and $25.0 million payable in June 2020 (the Settlement Payment). Fractus agreed, among other things, to dismiss the Fractus Litigation and release CommScope from all liabilities relating to any claims of infringement of any patents or patent applications owned by Fractus as of October 9, 2019 or within five years thereafter. The Settlement Payment is recorded in accrued and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019, and the expense is recorded in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as operating income, adjusted to exclude depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring costs, asset impairments, equity-based compensation, transaction 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.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2019 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Consolidation | Basis of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include CommScope Holding Company, Inc., along with its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the ARRIS results of operations are reported in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements from April 4, 2019, the date of acquisition, through December 31, 2019. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and their underlying assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other objective sources. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and 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. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts; reserves for sales returns, discounts, allowances, rebates and distributor price protection programs; inventory excess and obsolescence reserves; product warranty reserves and other contingent liabilities; tax valuation allowances; liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits; purchase price allocations; impairment reviews for investments, property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles; and pension and other postretirement benefit costs and liabilities. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of and experience with past and current events and on management’s assumptions about future events, it is at least reasonably possible that they may ultimately differ materially from actual results. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent deposits in banks and cash invested temporarily in various instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at the amount owed by the customer, net of allowances for estimated doubtful accounts, discounts, returns and rebates. The Company maintains |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Costs such as idle facility expense, excessive scrap and re-handling costs are expensed as incurred. The Company maintains reserves to reduce the value of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value, including reserves for excess and obsolete inventory. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Upon application of acquisition accounting, property, plant and equipment are measured at estimated fair value as of the acquisition date to establish a new historical cost basis. Provisions for depreciation are based on estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Useful lives generally range from 10 to 35 years 3 to 10 years Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill is assigned to reporting units based on the difference between the purchase price as allocated to the reporting units and the estimated fair value of the identified net assets acquired as allocated to the reporting units. Purchased intangible assets with finite lives are carried at their estimated fair values at the time of acquisition less accumulated amortization and any impairment charges. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Asset Impairments 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. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at 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. See Notes 4 and 10 for discussion of asset impairment charges. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred income taxes reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Tax benefits that result from uncertain tax positions may be recognized only if they are considered more likely than not to be sustainable, based on their technical merits. The amount of benefit to be recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is at least 50% likely to be realized. In addition, the Company does not provide for U.S. taxes related to the foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on its long-term intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries. These loans are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future, and the foreign currency gains and losses are therefore recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company’s revenue is generated primarily from product or equipment sales. The Company also generates revenue from custom design and installation services as well as bundled sales arrangements that include product, software and services. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations in a contract are satisfied through the transfer of control of the good or service at the amount of consideration expected to be received. The following are required before revenue is recognized: • Identify the contract with the customer. A variety of arrangements are considered contracts; however, contracts typically take the form of a master purchase agreement or customer purchase orders. • Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Performance obligations are identified as promised goods or services that are distinct within an arrangement. • Determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services. The consideration may include fixed or variable amounts or both. • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. The transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. • Recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue is recognized when transfer of control of the promised goods or services has occurred. This is either at a point in time or over time. Product sales represent over 90% of the Company’s revenue. For these sales, revenue is recognized when control of the product has transferred to the customer, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products and the related software are considered one performance obligation. License contracts include revenue recognized for the licensing of intellectual property, including software, sold separately without products. Functional intellectual property licenses do not meet the criteria for revenue to be recognized over time and revenue is most commonly recognized upon delivery of the license/software to the customer. Certain customer transactions may be project based and include multiple performance obligations based on the bundling of equipment, software and services. When a multiple performance obligation arrangement exists, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling price, and revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of each deliverable. To determine the standalone selling price, the Company first looks to establish the standalone selling price through an observable price when the good or service is sold separately in similar circumstances. If the standalone selling price cannot be established through an observable price, the Company will make an estimate based on market conditions, customer specific factors and customer class. The Company may use a combination of approaches to estimate the standalone selling price. For performance obligations recognized over time, judgment is required to evaluate assumptions, including the total estimated costs to determine progress towards completion of the performance obligation and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize. If estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the entire estimated costs are recorded in the period in which the revisions to estimates are identified and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Other customer contract types include a variety of post-contract support services offerings, including: • Maintenance and support services provided under annual service-level agreements with the Company’s customers. These services represent stand-ready obligations that are recognized over time (on a straight-line basis over the contract period) because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services as the services are performed. • Professional services and other similar services consist primarily of “Day 2” services to help customers maximize their utilization of deployed systems. The services are recognized over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the service as the services are performed. • Installation services relate to the routine installation of equipment ordered by the customer at the customer’s site and are distinct performance obligations from delivery of the related hardware. The associated revenues are recognized over time as the services are provided. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to be entitled based on customer contracts. For sales to distributors, system integrators and value-added resellers, revenue is adjusted for variable consideration amounts, including but not limited to estimated discounts, returns, rebates and distributor price protection programs. These estimates are determined based upon historical experience, contract terms, inventory levels in the distributor channel and other related factors. Adjustments to variable consideration estimates are recorded when circumstances indicate revisions may be necessary. A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on project or services arrangements. Unbilled receivables are recorded when revenues are recognized in advance of invoice issuance. A contract asset is any portion of unbilled receivables for which the right to consideration is conditional on a factor other than the passage of time, which is common for certain project contract performance obligations. These assets are presented on a combined basis with accounts receivable and are converted to accounts receivable once the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional, which varies by contract but is generally based on achieving certain acceptance milestones. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset would be one year or less. The Company includes shipping and handling costs billed to customers in net sales and includes the costs incurred to transport product to customers as well as certain internal handling costs, which relate to activities to prepare goods for shipment, as cost of sales. See discussion of the Company’s voluntary change in accounting principle below. Shipping and handling costs incurred after control is transferred to the customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are not accounted for as separate revenue obligations. Effective April 1, 2019, the Company made a voluntary change in accounting principle related to its classification of internal handling costs to prepare goods for shipment. Historically, the Company presented these handling costs within selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). Under the new policy, the Company is presenting these expenses within cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes that this change is preferable as the classification in cost of sales better reflects the costs of generating the related revenue and results in more meaningful presentation of gross margin. Additionally, this presentation enhances the comparability of the Company’s financial statements with industry peers and provides more consistency in the treatment of all shipping and handling costs. The accounting policy change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented. There was no change to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, retained earnings (accumulated deficit) or cash flows; however, cost of sales increased by $55.0 million and $62.3 million and SG&A decreased by the same amounts for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recorded handling costs as a component of cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Consolidated Statements of Operations was adjusted to reflect this change; however, there was no other impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
Leases | Leases The Company determines if a contract is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Right of use assets related to operating type leases are reported in other noncurrent assets and the present value of remaining lease obligations is reported in accrued and other liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the periods presented, CommScope does not have any financing type leases. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The majority of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rates applicable to the economic environment and the duration of the lease, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. The right of use asset for operating leases is measured using the lease liability adjusted for the impact of lease payments made prior to commencement, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and any asset impairments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company remeasures and reallocates the consideration in a lease when there is a modification of the lease that is not accounted for as a separate contract. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in the lease term or a change in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise a lease option. The Company assesses right of use assets for impairment in accordance with its long-lived asset impairment policy. The Company accounts for lease agreements with contractually required lease and non-lease components on a combined basis. Lease payments made for cancellable leases, variable amounts that are not based on an observable index and lease agreements with an original duration of less than twelve months are recorded directly to lease expense. |
Taxes Collected from Customers | Tax Collected from Customers Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, which are collected by the Company from customers, are excluded from net sales. |
Product Warranties | Product Warranties The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer assurance-type warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over various periods, depending on 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. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Advertising expense was $39.5 million, $17.3 million and $21.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
Research and Development | Research and Development Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. R&D costs include materials and equipment that have no alternative future use, depreciation on equipment and facilities currently used for R&D purposes, personnel costs, contract services and reasonable allocations of indirect costs, if clearly related to an R&D activity. Expenditures in the pre-production phase of an R&D project are recorded as R&D expense. However, costs incurred in the pre-production phase that are associated with output actually used in production are recorded in cost of sales. A project is considered finished with pre-production efforts when management determines that it has achieved acceptable levels of scrap and yield, which vary by project. Expenditures related to ongoing production are recorded in cost of sales. |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities CommScope is exposed to risks resulting from adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. CommScope’s risk management strategy includes the use of derivative financial instruments whenever management determines their use to be reasonable and practical. This strategy does not permit the use of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculation. The Company uses forward contracts to hedge a portion of its balance sheet foreign exchange re-measurement risk and to hedge certain planned foreign currency expenditures. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in other expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on the balances and expenditures being hedged. These instruments are not designated as hedges for hedge accounting purposes and are marked to market each period through earnings. The Company has a hedging strategy to designate certain foreign currency contracts as net investment hedges to mitigate a portion of the foreign currency risk on the euro net investment in a foreign subsidiary. Hedge effectiveness is assessed each quarter based on the net investment in the foreign subsidiary designated as the hedged item and the changes in the fair value of designated foreign currency contracts based on spot rates. For hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Amounts excluded from hedge effectiveness at inception under the spot method for designated forward contracts are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of each contract and for designated cross-currency swap contracts are recognized as interest accrues. During 2019, the Company implemented a hedging strategy to mitigate a portion of the exposure to changes in cash flows resulting from variable interest rates on the senior secured term loan due 2026 which are based on the one-month LIBOR benchmark rate (see Note 8). Hedge effectiveness is assessed each quarter, and for hedges that meet the effectiveness requirements, changes in fair value are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company has elected and documented the use of the normal purchases and sales exception for normal purchase and sales contracts that meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument. See Note 9 for further disclosure related to the derivative instruments and hedging activities. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, approximately 41%, 44% and 46%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales were to customers located outside the U.S. A portion of these sales were denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, particularly sales from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The financial position and results of operations of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries have been translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Upon sale or liquidation of an investment in a foreign subsidiary, the amount of net translation gains or losses that have been accumulated in other comprehensive loss attributable to that investment are reported as a gain or loss in earnings in the period in which the sale or liquidation occurs. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company liquidated a foreign subsidiary and recognized $14.0 million in translation losses in other expense, net that had been in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Aggregate foreign currency gains and losses, such as those resulting from the settlement of receivables or payables, foreign currency contracts and short-term intercompany advances in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency, are recorded currently in earnings (included in other expense, net) and resulted in losses of $11.8 million, $15.9 million and $8.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses related to certain long-term intercompany loans that are not expected to be settled in the foreseeable future and the effective portion of foreign currency contracts designated as net investment hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 9 for disclosure of foreign currency gains and losses specifically related to foreign currency contracts. |
Equity-Based Compensation | Equity-Based Compensation The estimated fair value of stock awards is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. Forfeitures of stock awards are recognized as they occur. The Company records deferred tax assets related to compensation expense for awards that are expected to result in future tax deductions for the Company, based on the amount of compensation cost recognized and the Company’s statutory tax rate in the jurisdiction in which it expects to receive a deduction. Differences between the deferred tax assets recognized for financial reporting purposes and actual tax deductions reported on the Company’s income tax return are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within income tax expense. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings (Loss) Per Share 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 years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, 11.2 million, 2.1 million and 1.5 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 year ended December 31, 2019, 2.4 million shares would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 27.0 million 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 have been considered dilutive if the Company had not been in a net loss position.

Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which requires the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their respective fair market value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are determined based upon the Company’s valuation and involves making significant estimates and assumptions based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The Company uses a measurement period following the acquisition date to gather information that existed as of the acquisition date that is needed to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement period ends once all information is obtained, but no later than one year from the acquisition date. |
Concentrations of Risk | Concentrations of Risk Non-derivative financial instruments used by the Company in the normal course of business include letters of credit and commitments to extend credit, primarily accounts receivable. The Company generally does not require collateral on its accounts receivable. These financial instruments involve risk, including the credit risk of nonperformance by the counterparties to those instruments, and the actual loss may exceed the reserves provided in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 17 for further discussion of customer-related concentrations of risk. The Company manages its exposures to credit risk associated with accounts receivable using such tools as credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. CommScope estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the actual payment history and individual circumstances of significant customers as well as the age of receivables. In management’s opinion, as of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have significant unreserved risk of credit loss due to the non-performance of customers or other counterparties related to amounts receivable. However, an adverse change in financial condition of a significant customer or group of customers or in the telecommunications industry could materially affect the Company’s estimates related to doubtful accounts. The principal raw materials purchased by CommScope ( aluminum, bimetals, copper, optical fiber, plastics and other polymers and steel ) are subject to changes in market price as these materials are linked to various commodity markets. The Company attempts to mitigate these risks through effective requirements planning and by working closely with its key suppliers to obtain the best possible pricing and delivery terms. The Company relies on sole suppliers or a limited group of suppliers for certain key components (memory and chip capacitors), subassemblies and modules and a limited group of contract manufacturers to manufacture a significant portion of its products. Any disruption or termination of these arrangements could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2019 On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases The adoption effect of the new guidance increased total assets and total liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets by $98.8 million as of January 1, 2019 due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease obligations for operating type leases, net of the elimination of existing prepaid rent, deferred rent and lease termination cost amounts. The adoption of the new standard did not materially affect the Consolidated Statements of Operations; and therefore, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded. Adoption of the new standard also did not materially affect the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. See Note 5 for further discussion of the Company’s leasing activities. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (CCA) that is a Service Contract Issued but Not Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04 , ASU 2019-05 , ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 (collectively, ASC Topic 326) . The new guidance replaces the current incurred loss method used for determining credit losses on financial assets, including trade receivables, with an expected credit loss method. ASC Topic 326 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2020. The Company is continuing to assess and evaluate assumptions and models to estimate losses. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company will be required to record a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) for the impact as of the date of adoption. As credit losses from the Company's trade receivables have not historically been significant, the Company anticipates that the adoption of ASC Topic 326 will not materially impact the consolidated financial statements . |
