NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avid Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “we” or “our”). These financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for their fair statement. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for any other interim period or a full year. We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. We filed audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation. The financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The consolidated results of operations for the three months and nine ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Company’s results of operations are affected by economic conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and levels of business and consumer confidence.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has created, and may continue to create, significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, including disrupted supply chains and significant volatility in financial markets. The countries in which the Company operates have generally continued easing initial measures to control the spread of COVID-19. However, the Company is not able to estimate the impact that COVID-19 may continue to have on worldwide economic activity or the Company’s financial position. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and related acts of aggression and destruction, including destruction of energy, commercial and industrial infrastructure has caused further direct and indirect economic disruption, which may exacerbate supply chain issues further and may lead to prolonged shortages and economic disruption including foreign currency fluctuation. The Company continues to assess the potential impacts of armed conflict and COVID-19 and the measures taken by governments, businesses and other organizations in response as information becomes available.

Our preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

Reclassifications

As our business continues to shift towards a subscription-based model, we have reformatted our income statement presentation to conform with this shift starting on our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021. We have reclassified certain prior period amounts related to revenue and cost of goods sold within our consolidated statements of operations and accompanying notes to conform to our current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect total revenue or total cost of goods sold.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company adopted ASU 2020-04 as of January 1, 2022. The Company has determined the impact of this adoption was not material to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per common share is presented for both basic income per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted income per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

The potential common shares that were considered anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the relevant periods either because the sum of the exercise price per share and the unrecognized compensation cost per share was greater than the average market price of our common stock for the relevant periods, or because they were considered contingently issuable. The contingently issuable potential common shares result from certain stock options and restricted stock units granted to our employees that vest based on performance conditions, market conditions, or a combination of performance and market conditions.

The following table sets forth (in thousands) potential common shares that were considered anti-dilutive securities at September 30, 2022 and 2021:


	September 30, 2022	September 30, 2021

Non-vested restricted stock units	820	930

The following table sets forth (in thousands) the basic and diluted weighted common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:


	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30		September 30
	2022	2021	2022	2021
Weighted common shares outstanding - basic	44,476	45,564	44,676	45,115
Net effect of common stock equivalents	227	864	431	1,334
Weighted common shares outstanding - diluted	44,703	46,428	45,107	46,449

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure deferred compensation investments on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our deferred compensation investments were classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Assets valued using quoted market prices in active markets and classified as Level 1 are money market and mutual funds. Assets valued based on other observable inputs and classified as Level 2 are insurance contracts.

The following tables summarize our deferred compensation investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	September 30, 2022		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Financial assets:
Deferred compensation assets	$	375	$	84	$	291	$	—


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	December 31, 2021		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Financial assets:
Deferred compensation assets	$	408	$	99	$	309	$	—

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of our other financial assets and liabilities including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or settlement.

4. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):


	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Raw materials	$	8,257	$	8,519
Work in process	288		304
Finished goods	13,448		11,099
Total	$	21,993	$	19,922

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, finished goods inventory included $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, associated with products shipped to customers and deferred labor costs for arrangements where revenue recognition had not yet commenced.

5. LEASES

We have entered into a number of facility leases to support our research and development activities, sales operations, and other corporate and administrative functions in North America, Europe, and Asia, which qualify as operating leases under U.S. GAAP. We also have a limited number of equipment leases that qualify as either operating or finance leases. We determine if contracts with vendors represent a lease or have a lease component under U.S. GAAP at contract inception. Our leases have remaining terms ranging from less than one year to six years. Some of our leases include options to extend or terminate the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.

Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. As our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular location and currency environment. As of September 30, 2022, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 5.9% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 5.3 years.

Finance lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. Each lease agreement provides an implicit discount rate used to determine the present value of future payments. As of September 30, 2022, the weighted-average discount rate was 2.3% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 1.4 years.

Lease costs for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our total operating lease costs were $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively and $4.3 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Related cash payments were $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and $4.6 million and $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Short term lease costs were $0.6 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Operating lease costs are included within research and development, marketing and selling, and general and administrative lines on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the related cash payments are included in the operating cash flows on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Finance lease costs, variable lease costs, and sublease income are not material.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments for operating and finance leases under non-cancelable leases with terms of more than one year to the total lease liabilities recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 (in thousands):

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

We entered into a long-term agreement to purchase a variety of information technology solutions from a third party in the second quarter of 2020, which included an unconditional commitment to purchase a minimum of $32.2 million of products and services over the initial five years of the agreement. We have purchased $17.9 million of products and services pursuant to this agreement as of September 30, 2022.

We have letters of credit that are used as security deposits in connection with our leased Burlington, Massachusetts office space. In the event of default on the underlying leases, the landlords would, at September 30, 2022, be eligible to draw against the letters of credit to a maximum of $0.7 million.

We also have letters of credit in connection with security deposits for other facility leases totaling $0.6 million in the aggregate, as well as letters of credit totaling $1.9 million that otherwise support our ongoing operations. These letters of credit have various terms and expire during 2022 and beyond, while some of the letters of credit may automatically renew based on the terms of the underlying agreements.

Substantially all of our letters of credit are collateralized by restricted cash included in the caption “Restricted cash” and “Other long-term assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022.

Contingencies

Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In addition to the legal proceedings described below, we are involved in legal proceedings from time to time arising from the normal course of business activities, including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights and contractual, commercial, employee relations, product or service performance, or other matters. We do not believe these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against us is subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, our financial position or results of operations may be negatively affected by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings for the period in which a matter is resolved. Our results could be materially adversely affected if we are accused of, or found to be, infringing third parties’ intellectual property rights.

Following the termination of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on February 25, 2018, we received a notice alleging that we breached the former employee’s employment agreement. On April 16, 2019, we received an additional notice again alleging we breached the former employee’s employment agreement. We have since been in communications with our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer’s counsel. While we intend to defend any claim vigorously, when and if a claim is actually filed, we are currently unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible losses that could occur as a result of this matter.

On July 14, 2020, we sent a notice to a customer demanding sums that we believe are due to Avid pursuant to a contract. On October 7, 2020, the customer sent a notice to us denying any legal liability and demanding payment for breach of contract resulting from various alleged delays by us. While we intend to defend any claim vigorously when and if a claim is actually filed, we are currently unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible losses that could occur related to this matter.

We consider all claims on a quarterly basis and based on known facts assess whether potential losses are considered reasonably possible, probable, and estimable. Based upon this assessment, we then evaluate disclosure requirements and whether to accrue for such claims in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated and such amount is material. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.

At September 30, 2022 and as of the date of filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that, other than as set forth in this note, no provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claims because: (a)

there is no reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized (if any) may be incurred with respect to such claim, (b) a reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be estimated, or (c) such estimate is immaterial.

Additionally, we provide indemnification to certain customers for losses incurred in connection with intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties with respect to our products. These indemnification provisions generally offer perpetual coverage for infringement claims based upon the products covered by the agreement and the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is theoretically unlimited. To date, we have not incurred material costs related to these indemnification provisions; accordingly, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification provisions is immaterial. Further, certain arrangements with customers include clauses whereby we may be subject to penalties for failure to meet certain performance obligations; however, we have not recorded any related material penalties to date.

We provide warranties on externally sourced and internally developed hardware. For internally developed hardware, and in cases where the warranty granted to customers for externally sourced hardware is greater than that provided by the manufacturer, we record an accrual for the related liability based on historical trends and actual material and labor costs. The following table sets forth the activity in the product warranty accrual account for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021
Accrual balance at beginning of period	$	1,219	$	1,095
Accruals for product warranties	541		988
Costs of warranty claims	(784)		(900)
Accrual balance at end of period	$	976	$	1,183

The warranty accrual is included in the caption “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

8. RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND ACCRUALS

In October 2020, we committed to a restructuring plan in order to undergo a strategic reorganization of our business. The strategic reorganization involved significant changes in business operations to better support our strategy and overall performance. The restructuring plan related to our strategic reorganization is expected to be substantially completed in 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.5 million for employee severance costs related to three positions eliminated throughout 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.0 million for employee severance costs related to 24 positions eliminated throughout 2021.

The following table sets forth the activity in the restructuring accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in thousands):


	Employee
Accrual balance as of December 31, 2021	$	655
Restructuring charges and revisions	515
Cash payments	(917)
Foreign exchange impact on ending balance	(17)
Accrual balance as of September 30, 2022	$	236

The employee restructuring accrual at September 30, 2022 represents severance costs to former employees that will be paid out within 12 months, and is, therefore, included in the caption “accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

Total net revenues	$	102,985	$	101,640	$	301,314	$	290,880

Contract Asset

Contract asset activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Contract asset at beginning of period	$	25,397	$	18,579
Revenue in excess of billings	51,400		43,757

Less: long-term portion (recorded in other long-term assets)	11,642		—
Contract asset, current portion	$	17,728	$	22,612

The increase in the long-term portion of contract assets is primarily due to long-term subscription agreements with revenue recognition ahead of scheduled billings greater than 12 months.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Deferred revenue at beginning of period	$	98,082	$	99,258
Billings deferred	57,094		56,846

A summary of the significant performance obligations included in deferred revenue is as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2022
Product	$	7,922
Subscription	8,545
Maintenance contracts	55,435
Implied PCS	4,293
Professional services, training and other	480
Deferred revenue at September 30, 2022	$	76,675

Remaining Performance Obligations

For transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations, we apply practical expedients and do not disclose quantitative or qualitative information for remaining performance obligations (i) that have original expected durations of one year or less and (ii) where we recognize revenue equal to what we have the right to invoice and that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance to date.

Historically, for many of our products, we had an ongoing practice of making when-and-if-available software updates available to customers free of charge for a period of time after initial sales to customers. The expectation created by this practice of providing free Software Updates represents an implied obligation of a form of post-contract customer support (“Implied PCS”) which represents a performance obligation. While we have ceased providing Implied PCS on new product offerings, we continue to provide Implied PCS for older products that were predominately sold in prior years. Revenue attributable to Implied PCS performance obligations is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the period that Implied PCS is expected to be provided, which is typically six years. We have remaining performance obligations of $4.3 million attributable to Implied PCS recorded in deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022. We expect to recognize revenue for these remaining performance obligations of $0.5 million for the remainder of 2022 and $1.6 million, $1.1 million, $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively, and $0.1 million thereafter.

As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $22.5 million of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for certain enterprise agreements that have not yet been fully invoiced. Approximately $18.9 million of these performance obligations were unbilled as of September 30, 2022. Remaining performance obligations represent obligations we must deliver for specific products and services in the future where there is not yet an enforceable right to invoice the customer. Our remaining performance obligations do not include contractually committed minimum purchases that are common in our strategic purchase agreements with resellers since our specific obligations to deliver products or services is not yet known, as customers may satisfy such commitments by purchasing an unknown combination of current or future product offerings. While the timing of fulfilling individual performance obligations under the contracts can vary dramatically based on customer requirements, we expect to recognize the $22.5 million in roughly equal installments through 2027.

Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations due to contract breach, contract amendments, and changes in the expected timing of delivery.
