NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1
. Organization and Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nuance Communications, Inc. (“Nuance”, “we”, "our", or the "Company") and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.” or the "United States") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Although we believe the disclosures included herein are adequate to ensure that the condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly presented, certain information and footnote disclosures to the financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the footnotes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2018
. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year or any future period.

. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606" ("ASC 606"), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. We adopted ASC 606 on October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as opposed to retrospectively adjusting prior periods.
Results for reporting periods beginning after October 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting policies ASC 605. For contracts that were modified before the effective date, the Company aggregated the effect of all contract modifications prior to identifying performance obligations and allocating transaction price in accordance with the practical expedient ASC 606-10-65-1-(f)-4.
Upon adoption of ASC 606 on October 1, 2018, we recorded a decrease to accumulated deficit of approximately
$233 million
as a result of the transition. The impact of the adoption primarily relates to the cumulative effect of 1) approximately
$70 million
decrease in deferred revenue from the upfront recognition of term licenses and the general requirement to allocate the transaction price on a relative stand-alone selling price, 2) approximately
$180 million
increase in contract assets, 3) approximately
$30 million
decrease in accounts receivable, 4) approximately
$30 million
increase in deferred costs, and 5) approximately
$20 million
increase in deferred tax liabilities related to the above items.

Statements of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and the interim periods therein. We adopted this guidance on October 1, 2018 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach, which includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. ASU 2016-02 is effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and early application is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2018-11, Leases Topic 842 Target improvements, which provides an additional (and optional) transition method whereby the new lease standard is applied at the adoption date and recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our condensed consolidated financial statements, and we currently expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02, which will increase our total assets and total liabilities that we report relative to such amounts prior to adoption.
Other Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15”), which is effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires that implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract be capitalized and amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, starting when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. The guidance will be applied retrospectively to each period presented. We do not expect the implementation to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The guidance gives entities the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") related to items in AOCI. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each period in which the effect of TCJA is recognized in the period of adoption. We do not expect the implementation to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

. Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue from the following sources: (1) hosting services, (2) software licenses, including royalties, (3) maintenance and support (“M&S”), (4) professional services, and (5) sale of hardware. Revenue is reported net of applicable sales and use tax, value-added tax and other transaction taxes imposed on the related transaction including mandatory government charges that are passed through to our customers. We account for a contract when both parties have approved and committed to the contract, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
The majority of our arrangements with customers typically contain multiple products and services. We account for individual products and services separately if they are distinct--that is, if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the contract and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer.
We recognize revenue after applying the following five steps:
|
|
•
|
identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
|
|
|
•
|
identification of the performance obligations in the contract, including whether they are distinct within the context of the contract;
|
|
|
•
|
determination of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
|
|
|
•
|
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
|
|
|
•
|
recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.
|
We allocate the transaction price of the arrangement based on the relative estimated standalone selling price (“SSP”) of each distinct performance obligation. In determining SSP, we maximize observable inputs and consider a number of data points, including:
|
|
•
|
the pricing of standalone sales (in the instances where available);
|
|
|
•
|
the pricing established by management when setting prices for deliverables that are intended to be sold on a standalone basis;
|
|
|
•
|
contractually stated prices for deliverables that are intended to be sold on a standalone basis; and
|
|
|
•
|
other pricing factors, such as the geographical region in which the products are sold and expected discounts based on the customer size and type.
|
We only include estimated amounts of variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We reduce transaction prices for estimated returns and other allowances that represent variable consideration under ASC 606, which we estimate based on historical return experience and other relevant factors, and record a corresponding refund liability as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Other forms of contingent revenue or variable consideration are infrequent.
Revenue is recognized when control of these products and services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
We assess the timing of the transfer of products or services to the customer as compared to the timing of payments to determine whether a significant financing component exists. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, we do not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. If the difference in timing arises for reasons other than the provision of finance to either the customer or us, no financing component is deemed to exist. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our services, not to receive or provide financing from or to customers. We do not consider set-up fees nor other upfront fees paid by our customers to represent a financing component.
Certain products are sold through distributors or resellers. Certain distributors and resellers have been granted right of return and selling incentives which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to be recognized.
NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Returns and credits are estimated at the contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-10-4, we apply a portfolio approach to estimate the variable consideration associated with this group of customers.
Reimbursements for out-of-pocket costs generally include, but are not limited to, costs related to transportation, lodging and meals. Revenue from reimbursed out-of-pocket costs is accounted for as variable consideration.
Shipping and handling activities are not considered a contract performance obligation. We record shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue with offsetting costs recorded as cost of revenue.
Performance Obligations
Hosting
Hosting services, which allow our customers to use the hosted software over the contract period without taking possession of the software, are provided on a usage basis as consumed or on a fixed fee subscription basis. Our hosting contract terms generally range from one to five years.
As each day of providing services is substantially the same and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as access is provided, we have determined that our hosting services arrangements are a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services. These services include variable consideration, typically a function of usage. We recognize revenue as each distinct service period is performed (i.e., recognized as incurred).
Subscription basis revenue represents a single promise to stand-ready to provide access to our hosting services. Revenue is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the hosting contract term, which generally ranges from
one
to
five
years.
Software Licenses
On-premise software licenses sold with non-distinct professional services to customize and/or integrate the underlying software are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Revenue from the combined performance obligation is recognized over time based upon the progress towards completion of the project, which is measured based on the labor hours already incurred to date as compared to the total estimated labor hours.
Revenue from distinct on-premise software licenses, which do not require professional services to customize and/or integrate the software license, is recognized at the point in time when the software is made available to the customer and control is transferred.
Revenue from software license sold on a royalty basis, where the license of intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates, is recognized in the period the usage occurs in accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-55-65(A).
Maintenance and Support
Our M&S contracts generally include telephone support and the right to receive unspecified upgrades and updates on a when-and-if available basis. M&S revenue is recognized over time on ratable basis over the contract period because we transfer control evenly by providing a stand-ready service.
Professional Services
Revenue from distinct professional services, including training, is recognized over time based upon the progress towards completion of the project, which is measured based on the labor hours already incurred to date as compared to the total estimated labor hours.
Hardware
Hardware revenue is recognized point in time when control is transferred to the customer, typically delivery.
Significant Judgments
Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Our license contracts often include professional services to customize and/or integrate the licenses into the customer’s environment. Judgment is required to determine whether the license is considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with professional services.
Judgments are required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. When SSP is directly observable, we estimate SSP based upon the historical transaction prices, adjusted for geographic considerations, customer classes, and customer relationship profiles. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, we determine SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. We may have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, we may use information such as the size of the
NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
customer and geographic region in determining SSP. Determining SSP for performance obligations which we never sell separately also requires significant judgment. In estimating the SSP, we consider the likely price that would have resulted from established pricing practices had the deliverable been offered separately and the prices a customer would likely be willing to pay.
From time to time, we may enter into arrangements with third party suppliers to resell products or services. In such cases, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e. report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e. report revenues on a net basis). In doing so, we first evaluate whether we control the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. If we control the good or service before it is transferred to the customer, we are the principal; if not, we are the agent. Generally, we control a promised good or service before transferring that good or service to the customer and act as the principal to the transaction. Determining whether we control the good or service before it is transferred to the customer may require judgment.
Disaggregated Revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by reportable segment and products and services as this presentation depicts the timing, risks and uncertainty of our revenue streams, which is also in line with how we manage our businesses, assess performance, and determine management compensation. Our disaggregated revenue from continuing operations is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Contract Acquisition Costs
In conjunction with the adoption of ASC 606, we are required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs. The capitalized costs primarily relate to paid commissions and other direct, incremental cost to acquire customer contracts. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-10-4, we apply a portfolio approach to estimate contract acquisition costs for groups of customer contracts. We elect to apply the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 and will expense contract acquisition costs as incurred where the expected period of benefit is one year or less. Sales commissions paid on renewal maintenance and support are not commensurate with sales commissions paid on the initial maintenance and support contract. Contract acquisition costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which we have estimated to be between
one
and
five
years. The period of benefit was determined based on an average customer contract term, expected contract renewals, changes in technology and our ability to retain customers including canceled contracts. Contract acquisition costs are classified as current or noncurrent assets based on when the expense will be recognized. The current and noncurrent portions of contract acquisition costs are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets, respectively. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had
$17.7 million
of current contract acquisition costs and
$27.8 million
of noncurrent contract acquisition costs. Commission expense is primarily included in Sales and marketing expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We had amortization expense of

million
related to contract acquisition costs for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
$7.2 million
for the six months ended
March 31, 2019
. There was no impairment related to commission costs capitalized.
Contract Fulfillment Costs
We capitalize the setup costs incurred to satisfy our stand-ready obligation to provide access to our hosting service. Contract fulfillment costs are expensed to cost of revenue as we satisfy our stand-ready obligation over the contract term which we estimate to be between
one
and
five
years. The contract term was determined based on an average customer contract term, expected contract renewals, changes in technology, and our ability to retain customers including canceled contracts. We classify contract fulfillment costs as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and noncurrent portions of capitalized contract fulfillment costs are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets, respectively. At
March 31, 2019
, we had
$13.4 million
of short-term contract fulfillment costs included with Prepaid expenses and other current assets and
$96.2 million
of long-term costs included within Other assets.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances
We classify our right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment is due). We present such receivables in Accounts receivable, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheets at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and other applicable factors.
Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Contract assets include unbilled amounts from long-term contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not solely subject to the passage of time. The current and noncurrent portions of contract assets are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had
$59.8 million
of current contract assets and
$100.8 million
of noncurrent contract assets. The table below shows significant changes in contract assets of continuing operations (dollars in thousands):

. Disposition of Businesses
On November 7, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the divestiture of our Imaging business. On November 11, 2018, we entered into a sale agreement (the “Agreement”) with Project Leopard AcquireCo Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (and an affiliate of Kofax, Inc.) (the “Buyer”), relating to the sale of our Imaging business for a total cash consideration of approximately
$400 million
, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments as set forth in the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, we sold and transferred, and Buyer purchased and acquired, (a) the shares of certain subsidiaries through which we operate a portion of our Imaging business and (b) certain assets used in or related to the business; and the Buyer assumed certain liabilities related to such assets or the business, subject to certain exclusions and indemnities as set forth in the Agreement.
On
February 1, 2019
, we completed the sale of our Imaging business and received approximately
$404.0 million
in cash, after estimated transaction expenses, and subject to post-closing finalization of the adjustments set forth in the Agreement. As a result, we recorded a gain of approximately
$102.4 million
, which is included within Net income from discontinued operations. There are a number of working capital and other adjustments under the Agreement and related ancillary agreements. We do not believe that post-closing working capital adjustments under the Agreement, if any, will have a material impact on our results of operations.
For all periods presented, Imaging's results of operations have been included within discontinued operations and its assets and liabilities within held for sale in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following table summarizes the results of the discontinued operations (dollars in thousands):

Capital expenditures for all periods presented were de minimis.
(a)
As more fully described in Note 2, as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach, revenue for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2019

$0.8 million
and
$2.4 million
, respectively, due to the upfront recognition of term licenses and the re-allocation of contract consideration to performance obligations based upon standalone selling prices; sales and marketing expense for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2019
reflects a decrease of
$0.1 million
and
$1.4 million
, respectively, due to the capitalization and amortization of commission expense; and the provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2019
reflects an increase in tax benefit of
$2.7 million
and
$1.6 million
, respectively, related to the tax effect of the ASC 606 adjustments.

Fiscal Year 2018 Interim Impairment Analysis
Effective the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, our Automotive business, which was previously included within our Mobile segment, became a standalone operating segment. As a result of the reorganization, the original Mobile reporting unit was separated into three discrete lines of business comprised of Automotive, Dragon TV, and Devices. Dragon TV was merged within our Enterprise segment, and Devices was included within Other segment. We assigned
$1,080.5 million
,
$12.0 million
, and
$36.0 million
of goodwill to Automotive, Dragon TV and Devices, respectively, based on their relative fair values as of March 31, 2018, and assessed the assigned goodwill for impairment by comparing each component’s fair value to its carrying amount. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of
$35.1 million
related to Devices for the second quarter of fiscal 2018.
Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2018, our Subscriber Revenue Services ("SRS") reporting unit, originally included within our Mobile operating segment, recorded significantly lower revenue and profitability due to recent market disruptions in certain markets that we serve. We concluded that these financial results coupled with the rapid market shifts being experienced in the industry were factors that represented impairment indicators, triggering a review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Based on the result of the impairment assessment, the carrying value of SRS exceeded its fair value by
$94.3 million
. In addition, we recorded an
$8.5 million
deferred tax benefit related to SRS’s goodwill, which is amortized over time for tax purposes, and therefore increased the impairment charge by the same amount. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of
$102.8 million
related to SRS for the second quarter of fiscal 2018. After the impairment charge, goodwill assigned to SRS was
$17.8 million
as of March 31, 2018. The assessment did not result in any impairment charge of other intangible assets.

Wind-down of Devices and Mobile Operator Services and Annual Goodwill Impairment Analysis
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, in connection with our strategic business review announced in our earnings release issued on May 9, 2018, we restructured our SRS business by separating the voicemail transcription services business (“Voice-to-Text”), which will continue to operate as part of the Other Segment, and commenced a wind-down of our SRS Mobile Operator Services in India and Brazil, and our Devices businesses. The SRS business provides value-added services to mobile operators in India and Brazil ("Mobile Operator Services"). As a result, we revised our multi-year operating plans of Mobile Operator Services and Devices businesses, as part of our fiscal 2019 budgeting process, to reflect a significant decline in revenue and operating income. The wind-down decision has resulted in significantly lower estimated future cash flows over a considerably shorter time horizon, which triggered a review of goodwill and long-lived asset groups for impairment.
As a result of the impairment review, we recorded an additional
$15.0 million
impairment charge for Devices for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, including
$7.6 million
related to acquired trade names and customer relationships,
$0.8 million
related to acquired technology assets,
$6.2 million
related to fixed assets, and
$0.4 million
related to its remaining goodwill; we also recorded
$25.1 million
impairment charge for our Mobile Operator Services business for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, including
$12.9 million
related to acquired trade names and customer relationships,
$7.9 million
related to acquired technology assets,
$0.9 million
related to fixed assets, and
$3.4 million
related to goodwill.

. Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Forward Currency Contracts
We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Generally, we enter into such contracts for less than
90
days and have no cash requirements until maturity. At
March 31, 2019
and
September 30, 2018
, we had outstanding contracts with a total notional value of
$43.6 million
and
$117.1 million
, respectively.
We did not designate any forward contracts as hedging instruments for the
six months ended
March 31, 2019
or
2018
. Therefore, changes in fair value of foreign currency forward contracts were recognized within
Other income (expense), net
in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cash flows related to the settlement of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are included in cash flows from investing activities within our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.
The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular financial asset or liability depends on the lowest level of inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement as of the measurement date as follows:
|
|
•
|
Level 1:
Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than those described as Level 1.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little or no market activities and are based on significant assumptions and estimates.
|
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at

The fair values of our contingent consideration arrangements were determined using either the option pricing model with Monte Carlo simulation or the probability-weighted discounted cash flow method.
|
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was approximately
$2,114.3 million
(face value
$2,137.0 million
) as of
March 31, 2019
and
$2,423.6 million
(face value
$2,437.0 million
) as of
September 30, 2018
based on Level 2 measurements. The fair value of each borrowing was estimated using the average of the bid and ask trading quotes at each respective reporting date. There was no balance outstanding under our revolving credit agreement as of
March 31, 2019
or
September 30, 2018
.
Additionally, contingent acquisition payments are recorded at fair values upon the acquisition, and remeasured in subsequent reporting periods with the changes in fair values recorded within acquisition-related costs, net. Such payments are contingent upon the achievement of specified performance targets and are valued using the option pricing model with Monte Carlo simulation or the probability-weighted discounted cash flow model.
The following table provides a summary of changes in the aggregate fair value of the contingent acquisition payments for all periods presented (dollars in thousands):

Fiscal
Year
2019
For the
six months ended
March 31, 2019
, we recorded restructuring charges of
$20.6 million
, which included
$18.4 million
related to the termination of approximately
360
employees and
$2.2 million
related to certain excess facilities. Of these amounts,
$10.2 million
was recorded for the
three months ended
March 31, 2019
, which included
$9.9 million
related to employee termination and
$0.2 million
related to certain excess facilities. These actions were part of our strategic initiatives focused on investment rationalization, process optimization and cost reduction. We expect the remaining outstanding severance of
$10.1 million
to be substantially paid during fiscal year
2019
, and the remaining balance of
$4.5 million
related to excess facilities to be paid through fiscal year
2027
, in accordance with the terms of the applicable leases.
Additionally, for the
six months ended
March 31, 2019
, we recorded
$8.7 million
of professional services fees related to our corporate transformational efforts,
$12.5 million
costs related to the separation and stand-up of our Imaging and Automotive businesses, and
$3.1 million
accelerated depreciation related to our Mobile Operator Services, offset in part by a
$0.3 million
cash receipt from insurance claims related to the malware incident that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 (the "2017 Malware Incident"). Of these amounts, we recorded
$1.5 million
of professional services fees related to our corporate transformational efforts,
$8.3 million
costs related to the separation and stand-up of our Imaging and Automotive businesses,
$0.6 million
accelerated depreciation related to our Mobile Operator Services, and
$0.8 million
related to the 2017 Malware Incident for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
.

5.625% Senior Notes due 2026
In
December 2016
, we issued
$500.0 million
aggregate principal amount of
5.625%
Senior Notes due on
December 15, 2026
(the "2026 Senior Notes") in a private placement. The proceeds from the 2026 Senior Notes were approximately
$495.0 million
, net of issuance costs, and we used the proceeds to repurchase a portion of our 2020 Senior Notes. The 2026 Senior Notes bear interest at
5.625%
per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears, beginning on June 15, 2017.
The 2026 Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries ("Subsidiary Guarantors"). The 2026 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ future unsecured subordinated debt. The 2026 Senior Notes and guarantees effectively rank junior to all

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
our secured debt and that of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the 2026 Senior Notes.
At any time before
December 15, 2021
, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2026 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to
100%
of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after
December 15, 2021
, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2026 Senior Notes at certain redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
5.375% Senior Notes due 2020
In August 2012, we issued
$700.0 million
aggregate principal amount of
5.375%
Senior Notes due on August 15, 2020 in a private placement. In October 2012, we issued an additional
$350.0 million
aggregate principal amount of our 5.375% Senior Notes (collectively the “2020 Senior Notes”). The 2020 Senior Notes bear interest at 5.375% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. The 2020 Senior Notes are our unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries, ("the Subsidiary Guarantors"). The 2020 Senior Notes and guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors' existing and future unsecured senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors' future unsecured subordinated debt. The 2020 Senior Notes and guarantees effectively rank junior to all secured debt of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the 2020 Senior Notes.
In January 2017, we repurchased
$600.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes using cash and cash equivalents and the net proceeds from our 2026 Senior Notes issued in December 2016. In January 2017, we recorded an extinguishment loss of
$18.6 million
. In accordance with the authoritative guidance for debt instruments, a loss on extinguishment is equal to the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt, including any unamortized debt discount or issuance costs. Following this activity,
$450.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes remained outstanding.
In
September 2018
, we repurchased
$150.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes at par. As a result, we wrote off the related unamortized deferred issuance costs related to the repayment and recorded an extinguishment loss of
$0.3 million
in fiscal year 2018. Following this activity,
$300.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes remained outstanding.
In March 2019, we repurchased the remaining
$300.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 2020 Senior Notes at par using the proceeds from the sale of our Imaging business. As a result, we wrote off the remaining unamortized deferred issuance costs related to the repayment and recorded an extinguishment loss of
$0.9 million
for the three and six months ended
March 31, 2019
. Following this activity, we have fully repaid our 2020 Senior Notes and no amount remained outstanding as of
March 31, 2019
.
6.0% Senior Notes due 2024
In
June 2016
, we issued
$300.0 million
aggregate principal amount of
6.0%
Senior Notes due on
July 1, 2024
(the "2024 Senior Notes") in a private placement. The proceeds from the 2024 Senior Notes were approximately
$297.5 million
, net of issuance costs. The 2024 Senior Notes bear interest at
6.0%
per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears.
The 2024 Senior Notes are unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by our Subsidiary Guarantors. The 2024 Senior Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future unsecured senior debt, and rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ future unsecured subordinated debt. The 2024 Senior Notes and guarantees effectively rank junior to all our secured debt and that of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that have not guaranteed the 2024 Senior Notes.
At any time before July 1, 2019, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2024 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to
100%
of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after July 1, 2019, we may redeem all or a portion of the 2024 Senior Notes at certain redemption prices expressed as percentages of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

1.0%
Convertible Debentures due 2035
In December 2015, we issued
$676.5 million
in aggregate principal amount of
1.0%
Senior Convertible Debentures due in 2035 (the “1.0% 2035 Debentures”) in a private placement. The
1.0%
2035 Debentures bear interest at
1.0%
per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. The
1.0%
2035 Debentures mature on
December 15, 2035
, subject to the right of the holders to require us to redeem the
1.0%
2035 Debentures on
December 15, 2022, 2027, or 2032
. The
1.0%
2035 Debentures are general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the
1.0%
2035 Debentures. The
1.0%
2035 Debentures will be effectively subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The initial conversion price is approximately
$27.22
per share. At issuance, we allocated
$495.4 million
to long-term debt, and
$181.1 million
has been recorded as additional paid-in capital, which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method through
December 2022
. As of
March 31, 2019
, none of the conversion criteria were met for the
1.0%
2035 Debentures. If the conversion criteria were met, we could be required to repay all or some of the aggregate principal amount in cash prior to the maturity date.
2.75%
Convertible Debentures due 2031
In
October 2011
, we issued
$690.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of
2.75%
Senior Convertible Debentures due in 2031 (the “
2.75%
2031 Debentures”) in a private placement. The
2.75%
2031 Debentures bear interest at
2.75%
per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. The
2.75%
2031 Debentures mature on
November 1, 2031
, subject to the right of the holders to require us to redeem the
2.75%
2031 Debentures on
November 1, 2021, and 2026
. The
2.75%
2031 Debentures are general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the
2.75%
2031 Debentures. The
2.75%
2031 Debentures will be effectively subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The initial conversion price is approximately
$32.30
per share. At issuance, we allocated
$533.6 million
to long-term debt, and
$156.4 million
has been recorded as additional paid-in capital, which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method through
November 2017
.
In June 2015, we entered into separate privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of our 2031 Debentures to exchange, in a private placement,
$256.2 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 2031 Debentures for approximately
$263.9 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 1.5% 2035 Debentures. In December 2015, we entered into separate privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of our 2031 Debentures to repurchase
$38.3 million
in aggregate principal with proceeds received from the issuance of our
1.0%
2035 Debentures. In March 2017, we entered into separate privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of our 2031 Debentures to repurchase
$17.8 million
in aggregate principal with proceeds received from the issuance of our 1.25% Senior Convertible Debentures issued in March 2017.
In November 2017, holders of approximately
$331.2 million
in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2031 Debentures exercised their right to require us to repurchase such debentures. Following the repurchase,
$46.6 million
in aggregate principal amount of the 2.75% 2031 Debentures remains outstanding. On or after November 6, 2017, we have the right to call for redemption of some or all of the remaining outstanding 2031 Debentures.
1.25%
Convertible Debentures due 2025
In March 2017, we issued
$350.0 million
in aggregate principal amount of
1.25%
Senior Convertible Debentures due in 2025 (the “1.25% 2025 Debentures”) in a private placement. The proceeds were approximately
$343.6 million
, net of issuance costs. We used a portion of the proceeds to repurchase
5.8 million
shares of our common stock for
$99.1 million
and
$17.8 million
in aggregate principal on our 2031 Debentures. We used the remaining net proceeds, together with cash on hand to redeem and retire
$331.2 million
of our outstanding 2031 Debentures in November 2017. The 1.25% 2025 Debentures bear interest at
1.25%
per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. The 1.25% 2025 Debentures mature on April 1, 2025. The 1.25% 2025 Debentures are general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the 1.25% 2025 Debentures. The 1.25% 2025 Debentures will be effectively subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
We account separately for the liability and equity components of the 1.25% 2025 Debentures in accordance with authoritative guidance for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. The guidance requires the carrying amount of the liability component to be estimated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated conversion feature and record the remainder in stockholders’ equity. At issuance, we allocated
$252.1 million
to long-term debt,

and
$97.9 million
has been recorded as additional paid-in capital, which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method through April 1, 2025.
If converted, the principal amount of the 1.25% 2025 Debentures is payable in cash and any amounts payable in excess of the principal amount will (based on an initial conversion rate, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately
$22.22
per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances) be paid in cash or shares of our common stock, at our election, only in the following circumstances and to the following extent: (i) prior to October 1, 2024, on any date during any fiscal quarter beginning after June 30, 2017 (and only during such fiscal quarter) if the closing sale price of our common stock was more than 130% of the then current conversion price for at least 20 trading days in the period of the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous fiscal quarter; (ii) at any time on or after October 1, 2024, (iii) during the five consecutive business-day period immediately following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading price for $1,000 principal amount of the 1.25% 2025 Debentures for each day during such five trading-day period was less than 98% of the closing sale price of our common stock multiplied by the then current conversion rate; or (iv) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, as described in the indenture for the 1.25% 2025 Debentures. We may not redeem the 1.25% 2025 Debentures prior to the maturity date. If we undergo a fundamental change or non-stock change of control (as described in the indenture for the 1.25% 2025 Debentures) prior to maturity, holders will have the option to require us to repurchase all or any portion of their debentures for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 1.25% 2025 Debentures to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including any additional interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date. As of
March 31, 2019
, none of the conversion criteria were met for the 1.25% 2025 Debentures. If the conversion criteria were met, we could be required to repay all or some of the aggregate principal amount in cash prior to the maturity date.
1.50%
Convertible Debentures due 2035
In June 2015, we issued
$263.9 million
in aggregate principal amount of
1.50%
Senior Convertible Debentures due in 2035 (the “1.5% 2035 Debentures”) in exchange for
$256.2 million
in aggregate principal amount of our 2031 Debentures. The 1.5% 2035 Debentures were issued at
97.09%
of the principal amount, which resulted in a discount of
$7.7 million
. The 1.5% 2035 Debentures bear interest at
1.50%
per year, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears. The 1.5% 2035 Debentures mature on November 1, 2035, subject to the right of the holders to require us to redeem the 1.5% 2035 Debentures on November 1, 2021, 2026, or 2031. The 1.5% 2035 Debentures are general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the 1.5% 2035 Debentures. The 1.5% 2035 Debentures will be effectively subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. The initial conversion price is approximately
$23.26
per share. At issuance, we allocated
$208.6 million
to long-term debt, and
$55.3 million
has been recorded as additional paid-in capital, which is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method through November 2021. As of
March 31, 2019
, none of the conversion criteria were met for the 1.5% 2035 Debentures. If the conversion criteria were met, we could be required to repay all or some of the aggregate principal amount in cash prior to the maturity date.

. Stock-Based Compensation
On January 17, 2019, our shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s amended and restated 2000 Stock Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan”). The Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Plan (i) increases the number of shares issuable by
82,250,000
to
83,500,000
shares; (ii) permits the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to make proportional adjustments to outstanding awards affected by a change in the Company’s capital structure, and in addition to or in lieu of such adjustments, to permit the Board to pay dividends, dividend equivalents, or similar rights in conjunction to any such changes in the Company’s capital structure; and (iii) certain updates to reflect changes in law relating to Section 162(m).

The effective tax rates were estimated based upon estimated income for the year, the composition of the income in different countries, changes relating to valuation allowances for certain countries if and as necessary, and adjustments, if any, for the potential tax consequences, benefits or resolutions of audits or other tax contingencies. Our aggregate income tax rate in foreign jurisdictions is lower than our income tax rate in the United States; the majority of our income before provision for income taxes from foreign operations has been earned by subsidiaries in Ireland. Our effective tax rate may be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher statutory tax rates.
Our effective income tax rate was
4.4%
for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
, compared to
(1.2)%
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
. The effective tax rates for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
and
March 31, 2018
differed from the U.S. federal statutory rates of
21.0%
and
24.53%
, respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to losses in the United States.
Our effective income tax rate was
(0.9)%
for the six months ended
March 31, 2019
, compared to
39.1%
for the six months ended
March 31, 2018
. The effective tax rates for the six months ended
March 31, 2019
and
March 31, 2018
differed from the U.S. federal statutory rates of
21.0%
and
24.53%
, respectively, primarily due to the valuation allowance related to losses in the United States. Additionally, for the six months ended
March 31, 2018
, we recognized approximately
$87 million
of deferred tax benefit from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities offset by approximately
$2 million
estimated tax provision for deemed repatriated foreign earnings as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") enacted in December 2017.

. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Other Claims
Similar to many companies in the software industry, we are involved in a variety of claims, demands, suits, investigations and proceedings that arise from time to time relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including at times actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, employment, benefits and securities matters. At each balance sheet date we evaluate contingent liabilities associated with these matters in accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies.” If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for
NUANCE COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the estimated loss. Significant judgments are required for the determination of probability and the range of the outcomes, and estimates are based only on the best information available at the time. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in claims and legal proceedings and in estimating losses that may arise, actual outcomes may differ from our estimates. Contingencies deemed not probable or for which losses were not estimable in one period may become probable, or losses may become estimable in later periods, which may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. As of
March 31, 2019
, accrued losses were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements, and we do not expect any pending matter to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Guarantees and Other
We include indemnification provisions in the contracts we enter with customers and business partners. Generally, these provisions require us to defend claims arising out of our products’ infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, breach of contractual obligations and/or unlawful or otherwise culpable conduct. The indemnity obligations generally cover damages, costs and attorneys’ fees arising out of such claims. In most, but not all cases, our total liability under such provisions is limited to either the value of the contract or a specified, agreed upon amount. In some cases, our total liability under such provisions is unlimited. In many, but not all cases, the term of the indemnity provision is perpetual. While the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under all the indemnification provisions is unlimited, we believe the estimated fair value of these provisions is minimal due to the low frequency with which these provisions have been triggered.
We indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, which provides among other things, indemnification to directors and officers for expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts incurred by such persons in their capacity as a director or officer of the company, regardless of whether the individual is serving in any such capacity at the time the liability or expense is incurred. Additionally, in connection with certain acquisitions, we agreed to indemnify the former officers and members of the boards of directors of those companies, on similar terms as described above, for a period of
six
years from the acquisition date. In certain cases, we purchase director and officer insurance policies related to these obligations, which fully cover the
six
-year period. To the extent that we do not purchase a director and officer insurance policy for the full period of any contractual indemnification, and such directors and officers do not have coverage under separate insurance policies, we would be required to pay for costs incurred, if any, as described above.
17
. Related Party Transaction
In January 2018, we entered into a software and license agreement (the "License Agreement") with Magnet Systems, Inc. ("Magnet"). A member of the Magnet board of directors also served on our board of directors at the time of the transaction. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Magnet granted Nuance a perpetual software license to certain technology for a one-time payment of
$5.0 million
in cash, with
$3.5 million
paid immediately upon the effective date of the License Agreement and
$1.5 million
payable upon the earlier of (i) the 120-day period following the effective date of the License Agreement or (ii) signature of a statement of work for the engineering services described below. The amount for license was fully paid in fiscal year 2018.
Additionally, we entered into a service agreement (the "Service Agreement") with Magnet, pursuant to which, Magnet would provide engineering services to assist in integrating the licensed technology into certain of our Enterprise solutions. The fees under the Service Agreement total
$2.0 million
, payable in six equal monthly installments upon the signature of the statement of work, which is to be finalized within 90 days following the effective date of the License Agreement. We have incurred
$2.0 million
service costs up to date,
$0.3 million
and
$0.9 million
of which were incurred during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, respectively. As of
March 31, 2019
, capitalized amount related to payments for license and services totaled
$9.0 million
.
18
. Segment and Geographic Information
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") regularly reviews segment revenues and segment profits for performance evaluation and resources allocation. Segment revenues include certain acquisition-related adjustments for revenues that would otherwise have been recognized without the acquisition. Segment profits reflect controllable costs directly related to each segment and the allocation of certain corporate expenses such as, corporate sales and marketing expenses and research and development project costs that benefit multiple segments. Certain items such as stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related costs, net, restructuring and other charges, net,
other expenses, net
and certain unallocated corporate expenses are excluded from segment profits, which allow for more meaningful comparisons to the financial results of the historical operations for performance evaluation and resources allocation by our CODM.

The Healthcare segment is primarily engaged in providing clinical speech and clinical language understanding solutions that improve the clinical documentation process, from capturing the complete patient record to improving clinical documentation and quality measures for reimbursement.

The Enterprise segment is primarily engaged in using speech, natural language understanding, and artificial intelligence to provide automated customer solutions and services for voice, mobile, web and messaging channels.

•
|
The Automotive segment is primarily engaged in providing automotive manufacturers and their suppliers branded and personalized virtual assistants and connected car services built on our voice recognition and natural language understanding technologies. As more fully disclosed in Note
4
, on November 19, 2018, we announced our intent to spin off our Automotive business into an independent publicly-traded company through a pro rata distribution to our common stock holders. Completion of the proposed spin-off is subject to certain conditions, including final approval by our Board of Directors. We expect to complete the spin-off by the beginning of fiscal year 2020.

The
Other
segment includes our SRS business and our Devices business. Our SRS business provides value-added services to mobile operators in India and Brazil ("Mobile Operator Services") and voicemail transcription services to mobile operators in the rest of the world (“Voicemail-to-Text”). Our Devices business provides speech recognition solutions and predictive text technologies to handset devices. Our Devices revenue has been declining due to the ongoing consolidation of our handset manufacturer customer base and continued erosion of our penetration of the remaining market. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, in connection with our comprehensive portfolio and business review efforts, we commenced a wind-down of our Devices and Mobile Operator Services businesses.
|
As more fully described in Note 4, effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the results of our Imaging segment, previously a reportable segment, have been included within discontinued operations due to the completion of the sale on February 1, 2019. As a result, effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we changed our corporate overhead allocation methodology to re-allocate the stranded costs related to our Imaging business to the remaining operating segments included within continuing operations. Our segment presentation for the three and
six months ended
March 31, 2018
has been restated to reflect the re-allocation of stranded costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018,
$0.7 million
and
$1.8 million
of stranded costs have been included within total segment profits and re-allocated to Healthcare, Enterprise, Automotive, and Other; for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018,
$1.8 million
and
$3.7 million
of stranded costs have been included within total segment profits and re-allocated to Healthcare, Enterprise, Automotive, and Other.
