NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Aviat Networks, Inc. (“Aviat,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) designs, manufactures, and sells wireless networking and access networking solutions and services to mobile and fixed telephone service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast system operators across the globe. Aviat’s products include broadband wireless access base stations and customer premises equipment for fixed and mobile, point-to-point digital microwave radio systems for access, backhaul, trunking and license-exempt applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, and Aviat has made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the six months ended December 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Aviat’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

Aviat’s fiscal year includes 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the Friday nearest to June 30. The three months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 both consisted of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2024 contains 52 weeks and will end on June 28, 2024. Fiscal year 2023 contained 52 weeks and ended on June 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, goodwill and identified intangible assets in business combinations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, contingencies and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results may differ materially from estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the six months ended December 29, 2023, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly presented to the chief operating decision maker. The disclosures required under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2025 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax information through improvements to disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. The Company determined at this time that all other ASUs issued but not yet adopted are either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Note 2. Net Income Per Share of Common Stock

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022		December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022
Numerator:
Net income	$	2,890	$	6,046	$	6,895	$	3,300

Denominator:
Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic	12,001		11,347		11,788		11,273
Effect of potentially dilutive equivalent shares	228		458		305		522
Weighted-average shares outstanding, diluted	12,229		11,805		12,093		11,795

Net income per share of common stock outstanding:
Basic	$	0.24	$	0.53	$	0.59	$	0.29
Diluted	$	0.24	$	0.51	$	0.57	$	0.28

The following table summarizes the weighted-average equity awards that were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculations since they were anti-dilutive:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	December 29, 2023	December 30, 2022	December 29, 2023	December 30, 2022
Stock options	348	220	304	190
Restricted stock units and performance stock units	126	38	97	71
Total shares of common stock excluded	474	258	401	261

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Contract Balances, Performance Obligations, and Backlog


(In thousands)	December 29, 2023		June 30, 2023
Contract assets
Accounts receivable, net	$	149,919	$	101,653
Contract assets	77,176		58,588
Capitalized commissions	3,620		3,492
Contract liabilities
Advance payments and unearned revenue	$	54,984	$	44,268
Unearned revenue, long-term	8,039		7,416

Significant changes in contract balances may arise as a result of recognition over time for services, transfer of control for equipment, and periodic payments (both in arrears and in advance).

From time to time, the Company may experience unforeseen events that could result in a change to the scope or price associated with an arrangement. When such events occur, the transaction price and measurement of progress for the performance obligation are updated and this change is recognized as a cumulative catch-up to revenue. Because of the nature and type of contracts, the timeframe to completion and satisfaction of current and future performance obligations can shift; however, this will have no impact on the Company’s future obligation to bill and collect.

As of December 29, 2023, the Company reported $63.0 million in advance payments and unearned revenue and long-term unearned revenue, of which approximately 30% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2024 and the remainder thereafter. Approximately $8.7 million and $16.1 million, respectively, of revenue was recognized during the three and six months ended December 29, 2023, which was included in advance payments and unearned revenue at June 30, 2023.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $152.6 million at December 29, 2023. Of this amount, approximately 50% is expected to be recognized as revenue during the next 12 months, with the remaining amount to be recognized thereafter. The unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations excludes the impact of the NEC Transaction (as defined below). The Company is in the process of reviewing the acquired contracts. However, due to the timing of the transaction, there was insufficient time to finalize the analysis for incorporation into this disclosure.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and established a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the observable inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and

•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The estimated fair values and valuation input levels of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 29, 2023 and June 30, 2023 were as follows:


	December 29, 2023		June 30, 2023		Valuation Inputs
(In thousands)	Fair Value		Fair Value
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	8,536	$	571	Level 1
Bank certificates of deposit	$	3,277	$	3,793	Level 2

Items are classified within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets. The Company’s Level 1 items are primarily money market funds. As of December 29, 2023 and June 30, 2023, these money market funds were valued at $1.00 net asset value per share.

Items are classified within Level 2 if the observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources are available with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Company’s bank certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2. The carrying value of bank certificates of deposit approximates their fair value.

As of December 29, 2023 and June 30, 2023, there were no recurring assets or liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities measured at fair value between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 7. Credit Facility and Debt

The Company entered into a Secured Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility”), dated May 9, 2023, amended as of November 22, 2023, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender and Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Regions Capital Markets as lenders. The Credit Facility provides for a $40.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $50.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan”) with a maturity date of May 8, 2028. The $40.0 million Revolver can be borrowed with a $10.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit, and a $10.0 million swingline loan sub-limit.

In November 2023, the Company borrowed $50.0 million against the Term Loan to primarily settle the cash portion of the consideration associated with the NEC Transaction (as defined below). See Note 12. Acquisitions for further information.

As of December 29, 2023, the available credit under the Revolver was $37.7 million, reflecting the available limit of $40.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $2.3 million. The Company borrowed $33.2 million and repaid $33.2 million against the Revolver during the six months ended December 29, 2023. As of December 29, 2023, the Company had $50.0 million outstanding under its Term Loan and no borrowings under its Revolver.

The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding long-term debt as of December 29, 2023:


(In thousands)
Term loan	$	50,000
Less: unamortized deferred financing costs	(454)
Total debt, net	49,546
Less: current portion of long-term debt, net	(2,395)
Total long-term debt, net	$	47,151

Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either: (a) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margin; or (b) the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. The pricing levels for interest rate margins are determined based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as determined and adjusted quarterly. As of December 29, 2023, the applicable margin on Adjusted Term SOFR and Base Rate borrowings was 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The effective rate of interest on the outstanding Term Loan borrowings as of December 29, 2023 was 8.2%.

The Credit Facility requires the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio to be greater than 1.25 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Company. The Credit Facility also requires that the Company maintain a maximum leverage ratio of 3.00 times EBITDA, with a step-down to 2.75 times EBITDA after four full quarters, and 2.50 times EBITDA after eight full quarters. The Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to customary exceptions. As of December 29, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

As of December 29, 2023, scheduled maturities of outstanding long-term debt are as follows:

Fiscal 2024 Plans

During fiscal 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved restructuring plans, primarily associated with the NEC Transaction (as defined below) and reductions in workforce in certain of the Company’s operations to optimize skill sets and align cost structure. The fiscal 2024 plans are expected to be completed through the end of calendar 2024.

Prior Years’ Plans

Activities under the prior years’ plans primarily included reductions in workforce across the Company, associated with the acquisition of Redline (as defined below) and certain of the Company’s operations outside the United States. Payments related to the accrued restructuring balance for these plans are complete.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

Stock Repurchase Program

In November 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock. As of December 29, 2023, $6.9 million remains available and Aviat may choose to suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. Repurchased shares are recorded as treasury stock. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company repurchased 11,208 shares of its common stock in the open market for an aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of $0.3 million.

Stock Incentive Programs

As of December 29, 2023, the Company had one stock incentive plan for its employees and non-employee directors, the 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of share-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units, and performance share awards and units.

Under the 2018 Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of Aviat common stock on the date the options are granted using the closing stock price. After vesting, options generally may be exercised within seven years after the date of grant.

Restricted stock units are not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock units issued to employees generally vest three years from the date of grant (three-year cliff or annually over three years). Restricted stock units issued annually to non-executive board members generally vest on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.

Vesting of performance share awards and units is subject to the achievement of predetermined financial performance and share price criteria, and continued employment through the end of the applicable period.

During the six months ended December 29, 2023, the Company granted 98,816 restricted stock units, 64,643 performance share awards and 151,094 stock options.

The Company recognizes compensation cost for share-based payment awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards with a performance condition vesting feature, share-based compensation costs are recognized when achievement of the performance conditions is considered probable. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Total compensation expense for share-based awards included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022		December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022

Total share-based compensation expense	$	1,825	$	1,659	$	3,659	$	3,497

As of December 29, 2023, there was approximately $3.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. As of December 29, 2023, there was $9.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Note 10. Segment and Geographic Information

Aviat operates in one reportable business segment: the design, manufacturing, and sale of wireless networking products, solutions, and services. The Company’s financial performance is regularly reviewed by its chief operating decision maker who is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

The Company reports revenue by region and country based on the location where its customers accept delivery of products and services. Revenue by region for the three and six months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022		December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022

Total revenue	$	95,036	$	90,683	$	182,602	$	171,934

Note 11. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to global intangible low-taxed income inclusion (GILTI) in the U.S., state taxes and certain jurisdictions where the tax benefit on prior year losses were not recognized. During interim periods, tax expenses are accrued for jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2024.

The determination of income taxes for the six months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 was based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Tax expense for the six months ended December 29, 2023 was primarily due to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries. Tax expense for the six months ended December 30, 2022 was primarily due to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries, including deferred tax expense associated with the acquisition of Redline in July 2022 and the subsequent multi-step restructuring plan in which two Canadian Redline corporations converted to unlimited liability companies and then amalgamated by the end of September 2022.

Aviat has a number of years with open tax audits which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The major tax jurisdictions that are open and subject to potential audits include the U.S., Singapore, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. The earliest years for these jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. - 2003; Singapore - 2015; Ghana – 2016; Kenya – 2018; Nigeria – 2006; Saudi Arabia – 2019 and Tanzania - 2017.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are accounted for as part of the provision for federal, foreign, and state income taxes. Such interest expense was not material for the six months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022.

On March 11, 2021, the US enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which expands Section 162(m) to cover the next five most highly compensated employees for the taxable year, in addition to the “covered employees” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. The Company will continue to examine the elements of the ARPA and the impact it may have on future business.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) which includes a new corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted financial statement income of corporations with profits greater than $1 billion, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases by public corporations after December 31, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate the applicability and effect of the IRA as more guidance is issued.

Note 12. Acquisitions

NEC’s Wireless Transport Business

On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Sale of Business Agreement (as amended on November 30, 2023, the “Purchase Agreement”) with NEC Corporation (“NEC”), to acquire NEC’s wireless transport business (the “NEC Transaction”). The Company completed the NEC Transaction on November 30, 2023 (the “Closing Date”).

Prior to the Closing Date, NEC was a leader in wireless backhaul networks with an extensive installed base of their Pasolink series products. The completion of the NEC Transaction increases the scale of Aviat, enhances the Company’s product portfolio with a greater capability to innovate, and creates a more diversified business. The results of operations of the NEC Transaction have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the Closing Date.

The fair value of the consideration transferred at the closing of the NEC Transaction was comprised of (i) cash of $32.2 million, and (ii) the issuance of 736,750 shares or $22.3 million of common stock of the Company. The fair value of the shares issued was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the Closing Date. Aggregate consideration transferred at closing was approximately $54.5 million, which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company estimates additional cash consideration of approximately $22.9 million will be transferred to NEC in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily related to settlement of the post-closing working capital adjustment. As of December 29, 2023, the accrual balance related to the estimated additional consideration was included in other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company funded the cash portion of the consideration with Term Loan borrowings under its Credit Facility. See Note 7. Credit Facility and Debt for further information.

The NEC Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company is in the process of identifying the amounts assigned to certain assets, including the acquired intangible assets and goodwill for the acquisition. The Company is in the process of obtaining an independent third-party valuation of certain intangible and tangible assets acquired. The fair values of the acquired intangible assets are based on estimates and assumptions that are considered reasonable by the Company. As of the acquisition date, the Company has recorded the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair values. The recognized goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and expected synergies. The goodwill from this acquisition is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes.

Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred and are included in selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended December 29, 2023, the Company incurred transaction costs of $3.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

A summary of the preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:


(In thousands)
Accounts receivable, net	$	51,892
Inventories	35,572
Property, plant and equipment, net	547
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets:
Customer relationships	4,100
Technology	3,000
Other assets	237
Accounts payable	(12,388)
Advance payments and unearned revenue	(3,419)
Other liabilities	(2,661)
Goodwill	541
Net assets acquired	$	77,421

The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to adjustment based on the Company obtaining final independent third-party valuations, determining fair value and allocations of purchase price to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and determining the final consideration, including adjustments related to settlement of the final post-closing working capital adjustment. The amounts recorded as of November 30, 2023 are preliminary since there was insufficient time between the acquisition date and the end of the period to finalize the analysis. Therefore, the provisional measurements of fair value and the preliminary purchase price allocation are not final and subject to change.

The following unaudited consolidated pro forma information has been presented as if the NEC Transaction occurred on July 2, 2022 and is based on historical operating results and certain pro forma adjustments for additional interest, depreciation and amortization expense, net of income tax.


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022		December 29, 2023		December 30, 2022
Revenue	$	131,156	$	138,061	$	267,515	$	269,264
Net income (loss)	8,644		3,018		15,091		(5,813)

The unaudited pro forma information presented above is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the NEC Transaction occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2023, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Redline Communications Group Inc.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Redline Communications Group Inc. (“Redline”), for a purchase price of $20.4 million. Redline is a leading provider of mission-critical data infrastructure.

See Note 12. Acquisitions to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 for the final purchase price allocation, valuation methodology, and other information related to the completion of the Redline acquisition.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Orders and Other Commitments

From time to time in the normal course of business, the Company may enter into purchasing agreements with its suppliers that require the Company to accept delivery of, and remit full payment for, finished products that it has ordered, finished products that it requested be held as safety stock, and work in process started on its behalf, in the event it cancels or terminates the purchasing agreement. Because these agreements do not specify fixed or minimum quantities, do not specify minimum or variable price provisions, and do not specify the approximate timing of the transaction, and the Company has no present intention to cancel or terminate any of these agreements, the Company currently does not believe that it has any future liability under these agreements. As of December 29, 2023, the Company had outstanding purchase obligations with its suppliers or contract manufacturers of $36.7 million. In addition, the Company had contractual obligations of approximately $5.2 million associated with software licenses.

Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments

Guarantees issued by banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions are contingent commitments issued to guarantee performance under borrowing arrangements, such as bank overdraft facilities, tax and customs obligations, and similar transactions, or to ensure performance under customer or vendor contracts. The terms of the guarantees are generally equal to the remaining term of the related debt or other obligations and are generally limited to two years or less. As of December 29, 2023, the Company had no guarantees applicable to its debt arrangements.

The Company has entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letters of credit agreements, and other arrangements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers. As of December 29, 2023, the Company had commercial commitments outstanding of $57.3 million, that were not recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any significant amounts will be required to be paid on these performance guarantees in the future.

The following table presents details of the Company’s commercial commitments:


(In thousands)	December 29, 2023
Letters of credit	$	3,454
Bonds	53,834
	$	57,288

Indemnifications

Under the terms of substantially all of the Company’s license agreements, it has agreed to defend and pay any final judgment against its customers arising from claims against such customers that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. As of December 29, 2023, the Company has not received any notice that any customer is subject to an infringement claim arising from the use of its products; the Company has not received any request to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of its products; and the Company has not paid any final judgment on behalf of any customer related to an infringement claim arising from the use of its products. Because the outcome of infringement disputes is related to the specific facts of each case and given the lack of previous or current indemnification claims, the Company cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to its indemnification provisions. As of December 29, 2023, the Company had not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject from time to time to disputes with customers concerning its products and services. From time to time, the Company may be involved in various other legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of its operations. The Company is aggressively defending all current litigation matters. Although there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company currently believes that none of these claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on its financial position. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation and these actions or other third-party claims against the Company may cause it to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. As a result, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from the Company’s estimates, if any.

The Company records accruals for its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company has not recorded any significant accrual for loss contingencies associated with such legal claims or litigation discussed above.

Contingent Liabilities

The Company records a loss contingency as a charge to operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure in the notes to the financial statements is required for loss contingencies that do not meet both conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized. The Company expenses all legal costs incurred to resolve regulatory, legal and tax matters as incurred.

In March 2016, an enforcement action by the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance was brought against Aviat’s subsidiary Aviat Networks (India) Private Limited (“Aviat India”) relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables, which originated from 1999 to 2012, within the time frames dictated by the Indian regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. In November 2017, the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance also initiated a similar action against Telsima Communications Private Limited (“Telsima India”), a subsidiary of the Company, relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables which originated from the period prior to our acquisition of Telsima India in February 2009. In September 2019, the Company’s directors of Aviat India appeared before the Ministry of Finance Enforcement Directorate. No settlement offers were discussed at the meeting and the matter is still ongoing with no subsequent hearing date scheduled as of December 29, 2023. The Company has accrued an immaterial amount representing the estimated probable loss for which it would settle the matter. The Company currently cannot form an estimate of the range of loss in excess of its amounts already accrued. If the outcome of this matter is greater than the current immaterial amount accrued, the Company intends to dispute it vigorously.

Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter to assess the potential financial exposure. If a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss is reflected in our results of operations. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred or an asset impaired and whether such loss is reasonably estimable. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in the consolidated financial statements.

As additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess the potential liability related to its pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Acquisitions

NEC’s Wireless Transport Business

On November 30, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the NEC Transaction, acquiring NEC’s wireless transport business. Prior to the Closing Date, NEC was a leader in wireless backhaul networks with an extensive installed base of their Pasolink series products. The completion of the NEC Transaction increases the scale of Aviat, enhances the Company’s product portfolio with a greater capability to innovate, and creates a more diversified business. See Note 12. Acquisitions of the Notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

The fair value of the consideration transferred at the closing of the NEC Transaction was comprised of (i) cash of $32.2 million, and (ii) the issuance of 736,750 shares or $22.3 million of Company common stock. Aggregate consideration transferred at closing was approximately $54.5 million, which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company estimates additional cash consideration of approximately $22.9 million will be transferred to NEC in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, primarily related to settlement of the post-closing working capital adjustment. The Company funded the cash portion of the NEC Transaction with Term Loan borrowings under its Credit Facility. See Note 7. Credit Facility and Debt for further information.

Redline Communications Group Inc.

Operations Review

The market for mobile backhaul continued to be the Company’s primary addressable market segment globally in the first six months of fiscal 2024. In North America, the Company supported 5G and long-term evolution (“LTE”) deployments of its mobile operator customers, public safety network deployments for state and local governments, and private network implementations for utilities and other customers. In international markets, the Company’s business continued to rely on a combination of customers increasing their capacity to handle subscriber growth and the ongoing build-out of some large LTE and 5G deployments. Aviat’s position continues to be to support its customers for 5G and LTE readiness and ensure that its technology roadmap is well aligned with evolving market requirements. Aviat’s strength in turnkey and after-sale support services is a differentiating factor that wins business for the Company and enables it to expand its business with existing customers. Additionally, Aviat operates an e-commerce platform that provides low-cost services, simple experience, and fast delivery to mobile operators and private network customers. However, as disclosed above and in the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 30, 2023, a number of factors could prevent the Company from achieving its objectives, including ongoing pricing pressures attributable to competition and macroeconomic conditions in the geographic markets that it serves.

Revenue

The Company manages its sales activities primarily on a geographic basis in North America and three international geographic regions: (1) Africa and the Middle East, (2) Europe, and (3) Latin America and Asia Pacific. Revenue by region for the three and six months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 and the related changes were as follows:

Revenue in North America decreased by $0.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period of fiscal 2023, primarily due to timing of public safety projects. Revenue in North America increased by $5.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period of fiscal 2023, primarily due to strong private network and tier 1 demand.

Revenue in Africa and the Middle East increased by $0.4 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period of fiscal 2023. Revenue in Africa and the Middle East decreased by $0.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period of fiscal 2023. The decrease during the first six months of fiscal 2024 was primarily due to cyclical softness in the capital expenditure plans of large mobile operators in the region and currency impacts from locally provided services.

Revenue in Europe increased by $0.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period of fiscal 2023. Revenue in Europe increased by $1.0 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period of fiscal 2023. The increases for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2024 were primarily due to increased sales to mobile operators in the region.

Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific increased by $4.4 million during the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes of projects with mobile operators.

Research and development expenses increased by $2.3 million and $2.7 million for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of fiscal 2023. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily due to increased product development activities and additional costs from the NEC Transaction.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $4.9 million and $6.6 million for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of fiscal 2023. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to merger and acquisition expenses related to the NEC Transaction.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, restructuring charges were $2.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million compared to the same period in fiscal 2023. The increase in restructuring charges was primarily due to restructuring activities associated with the NEC Transaction. The prior year includes non-recurring restructuring charges primarily associated with the Redline acquisition completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

The Company’s successfully executed restructuring initiatives have enabled it to restructure specific groups to optimize skill sets and align its organizational structure to execute on strategic deliverables, in addition to aligning cost structure with the core of the business.

The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly period, and records the tax effect of certain discrete items in the interim period in which they occur, including changes in judgment about uncertain tax positions and deferred tax valuation allowances.

Tax expense for the first six months of fiscal 2024 was primarily attributable to tax expense for the U.S. entity and profitable foreign subsidiaries. Tax expense for the first six months of fiscal 2023 was primarily attributable to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries, including deferred tax expense associated with the acquisition of Redline in July 2022 and the subsequent multi-step restructuring, in which two Canadian Redline corporations converted to unlimited liability companies and then amalgamated by the end of September 2022.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Financial Strategies

Sources of Cash

As of December 29, 2023, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents were $45.9 million. Approximately $20.0 million was held in the United States. The remaining balance of $25.9 million was held by entities outside the United States. Of the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries on December 29, 2023, $25.4 million was held in jurisdictions where its undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested, and if repatriated, would be subject to foreign withholding taxes.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows is presented as net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $6.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared with $(8.4) million in the prior year. The $15.3 million increase is primarily attributable to improvements in working capital and increased net income prior to non-cash adjustments compared to the prior year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $33.5 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared to $7.3 million in the prior year. The $26.2 million increase is primarily due to payments of the cash consideration associated with the NEC Transaction and increased capital expenditures, partially offset by non-recurring activity included in the prior year related to proceeds received on the sale of marketable securities.

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of borrowings and repayments under the Company’s Credit Facility and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. Net cash provided by financing activities was $50.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024, compared with $0.1 million in the prior year. The $50.2 million increase is primarily due to the $50.0 million of Term Loan borrowings primarily used to settle the cash portion of the consideration associated with the NEC Transaction.

As of December 29, 2023, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of $45.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, $37.7 million of available credit under its Credit Facility, and future collections of receivables from customers. The Company regularly requires letters of credit from certain customers, and, from time to time, these letters of credit are discounted without recourse shortly after shipment occurs in order to meet immediate liquidity requirements and to reduce its credit and sovereign risk. Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations and credit facilities. Additionally, the Company has an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 allowing it to offer and sell, either individually or in combination, in one or more offerings, up to a total dollar amount of approximately $200.0 million of any combination of the securities described in the shelf registration statement or a related prospectus supplement.

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, the available borrowings under its Credit Facility, the availability under its effective shelf registration statement and future cash collections from customers will be sufficient to provide for its anticipated requirements and plans for cash for at least the next 12 months. In addition, the Company believes these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to provide for its anticipated requirements and plans for cash beyond the next 12 months.

The Company borrowed and repaid $33.2 million against the Revolver during the first six months of fiscal 2024. In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company borrowed $50.0 million against the Term Loan to primarily settle the cash portion of the consideration associated with the NEC Transaction. As of December 29, 2023, the Company had $50.0 million outstanding under its Term Loan and no borrowings under its Revolver and was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

As of December 29, 2023, the Company had commercial commitments outstanding of $57.3 million, that were not recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any significant amounts will be required to be paid on these performance guarantees in the future.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For information about the Company’s critical accounting estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in its fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

In the normal course of doing business, the Company is exposed to risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. The Company employs established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage its exposure to such risks. Information about the Company’s market risk is presented in Part II, Item 7A in its fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the first six months of fiscal 2024.

Exchange Rate Risk

The Company conducts business globally in numerous currencies and is therefore exposed to foreign currency risks. From time to time, the Company uses derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies.

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value of specific non-functional currency assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. All balance sheet hedges are marked to market through earnings every period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. The Company did not have any foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of December 29, 2023.

Certain of the Company’s international business are transacted in non-U.S. dollar (“USD”) currencies. From time to time, the Company utilizes foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency risk of non-USD transactions. The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to USD is included as a component of stockholders’ equity. As of December 29, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the cumulative translation adjustment decreased stockholders’ equity by $15.4 million and $16.0 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its cash equivalents and borrowings under its Credit Facility.

Exposure on Cash Equivalents

The Company had $45.9 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of December 29, 2023. Cash equivalents totaled $11.8 million as of December 29, 2023 and were comprised of money market funds and bank certificates of deposit. Cash

equivalents have been recorded at fair value. Fair value is measured using inputs that fall into a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value based on observability of such inputs. For more information on the fair value measurements of cash equivalents, please refer to Note 6. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities of the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company’s cash equivalents earn interest at fixed rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not generate a gain or loss on these investments unless they are sold prior to maturity. The weighted-average days to maturity for cash equivalents held as of December 29, 2023 was 47 days, and these investments had an average yield of approximately 4.7% per annum. A 10% change in interest rates on the Company’s cash equivalents is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Exposure on Borrowings

As of December 29, 2023, the Company had $50.0 million outstanding under its Term Loan and no borrowings under its Revolver.

The Company’s borrowings under the current Credit Facility bear interest at either: (a) Adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable margin; or (b) the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. The pricing levels for interest rate margins are determined based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as determined and adjusted quarterly. As of December 29, 2023, the applicable margin on Adjusted Term SOFR and Base Rate borrowings was 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively. The effective rate of interest on the Company’s outstanding Term Loan borrowings as of December 29, 2023 was 8.2%.

A 10% change in interest rates is estimated to have a $0.4 million impact on annual interest expense on the Company’s outstanding long-term debt as of December 29, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation, with the participation of our President and CEO, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as of December 29, 2023, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) that occurred during the quarter ended December 29, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report, although we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

The Company and Basis of Presentation	Dec. 29, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
The Company and Basis of Presentation	The Company and Basis of Presentation The Company Aviat Networks, Inc. (“Aviat,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) designs, manufactures, and sells wireless networking and access networking solutions and services to mobile and fixed telephone service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast system operators across the globe. Aviat’s products include broadband wireless access base stations and customer premises equipment for fixed and mobile, point-to-point digital microwave radio systems for access, backhaul, trunking and license-exempt applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, and Aviat has made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the six months ended December 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Aviat’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. Aviat’s fiscal year includes 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the Friday nearest to June 30. The three months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 both consisted of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2024 contains 52 weeks and will end on June 28, 2024. Fiscal year 2023 contained 52 weeks and ended on June 30, 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, goodwill and identified intangible assets in business combinations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, contingencies and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results may differ materially from estimates. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as of and for the six months ended December 29, 2023, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly presented to the chief operating decision maker. The disclosures required under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2025 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax information through improvements to disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. The Company determined at this time that all other ASUs issued but not yet adopted are either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on its financial position and results of operations.

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Dec. 29, 2023
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to global intangible low-taxed income inclusion (GILTI) in the U.S., state taxes and certain jurisdictions where the tax benefit on prior year losses were not recognized. During interim periods, tax expenses are accrued for jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2024. The determination of income taxes for the six months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 was based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. Tax expense for the six months ended December 29, 2023 was primarily due to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries. Tax expense for the six months ended December 30, 2022 was primarily due to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries, including deferred tax expense associated with the acquisition of Redline in July 2022 and the subsequent multi-step restructuring plan in which two Canadian Redline corporations converted to unlimited liability companies and then amalgamated by the end of September 2022. Aviat has a number of years with open tax audits which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The major tax jurisdictions that are open and subject to potential audits include the U.S., Singapore, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. The earliest years for these jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. - 2003; Singapore - 2015; Ghana – 2016; Kenya – 2018; Nigeria – 2006; Saudi Arabia – 2019 and Tanzania - 2017. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are accounted for as part of the provision for federal, foreign, and state income taxes. Such interest expense was not material for the six months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022. On March 11, 2021, the US enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which expands Section 162(m) to cover the next five most highly compensated employees for the taxable year, in addition to the “covered employees” effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2026. The Company will continue to examine the elements of the ARPA and the impact it may have on future business. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) which includes a new corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted financial statement income of corporations with profits greater than $1 billion, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases by public corporations after December 31, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate the applicability and effect of the IRA as more guidance is issued.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions NEC Corporation On the November 30, 2023, the Company completed the NEC Transaction. A portion of the total consideration in the NEC Transaction included the issuance of 736,750 shares in Company common stock to NEC. On the Closing Date, the Company and NEC entered into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, restricting NEC’s ability to transfer shares (the “Lock-Up”), except for certain limited exceptions as provided in the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement, until one day after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date”). Starting one day after the Initial Lock-Up Expiration Date, one-twelfth of the issued shares shall be released from the Lock-Up each month, such that all issued shares shall be released from Lock-Up by the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, NEC will have the right to nominate a director to the Company’s Board of Directors from the Closing Date and for a period of two years thereafter. As of December 29, 2023, NEC holds approximately 5.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In connection with the closing of the NEC Transaction and as of the Closing Date, the Company and NEC entered into agreements covering the performance of certain post-closing services and licensing arrangements. The agreements include arrangements covering manufacturing services and product supply, transition services, distribution services, research and development services, and licensing of trademark and intellectual property (“IP”). The Manufacturing and Supply Agreement includes arrangements for NEC to manufacture and supply Pasolink products on behalf of and to the Company and its customers. The transition services agreements include arrangements for the Company and NEC to provide and receive certain transition services, primarily associated with administrative functions. The distribution services agreements includes arrangements where NEC will provide distribution services on behalf of and to the Company and its customers in certain international markets and territories. The Research and Development Cooperating Agreement for Existing Products includes arrangements for NEC to provide the Company certain services relating to development work to maintain existing products of the NEC business. The licensing agreements include arrangements where the Company will grant NEC a non-exclusive license to certain Pasolink trademarks in Japan, and NEC will grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide (excluding Japan) license to certain NEC IP, including mobile backhaul-related patents. The licensing agreements are royalty-free and perpetual. For the three and six months ended December 29, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $1.1 million for transition services and $1.1 million for research and development services, which is included in accrued expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company and Basis of Presentation (Policies)	6 Months Ended
The Company and Basis of Presentation (Policies)	Dec. 29, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information, and Aviat has made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the six months ended December 29, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Aviat’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. Aviat’s fiscal year includes 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the Friday nearest to June 30. The three months ended December 29, 2023 and December 30, 2022 both consisted of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2024 contains 52 weeks and will end on June 28, 2024. Fiscal year 2023 contained 52 weeks and ended on June 30, 2023.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. The Company evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, goodwill and identified intangible assets in business combinations, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, contingencies and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results may differ materially from estimates.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly presented to the chief operating decision maker. The disclosures required under ASU 2023-07 are also required for public entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2025 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax information through improvements to disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs issued by the FASB. The Company determined at this time that all other ASUs issued but not yet adopted are either not applicable or are expected to have a minimal impact on its financial position and results of operations.
Fair Value Measurements	Items are classified within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets. The Company’s Level 1 items are primarily money market funds. As of December 29, 2023 and June 30, 2023, these money market funds were valued at $1.00 net asset value per share. Items are classified within Level 2 if the observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources are available with reasonable levels of price transparency. The Company’s bank certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2. The carrying value of bank certificates of deposit approximates their fair value. The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities measured at fair value between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
