AVID TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

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

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, together with the measures implemented or recommended by governmental authorities and private organizations in response to the pandemic, has had a material adverse impact to the Company's business, operating results and financial condition primarily due to reduced demand for our products and services which has led to lower net revenues.

Through the first quarter of 2022, our results have continued in the same direction as our 2021 results, reflecting a gradual recovery in spending levels with the continuing positive signs of recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic driven by vaccination and government stimulus programs, particularly in the United States. At the same time, certain countries continue to face challenges with renewed lockdowns and travel restrictions in response to new variants and there remains uncertainty relating to the ongoing spread and severity of those variants. Although we are encouraged by the trends we saw during 2021 and during the first quarter of 2022, to the extent that the pandemic continues to have negative impacts on economies, our results could be affected and uneven. Consequently, we will continue to evaluate our financial position in light of future developments, particularly those relating to COVID-19.

Our operations, and the operations of our customers, are vulnerable to interruptions, delays, complications, and other impacts from natural disasters and catastrophic events, including pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as political unrest including armed conflicts such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent variants continue to complicate supply chain logistics and cause delays, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine may exacerbate supply chain issues further.

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

Reclassifications

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

Significant Accounting Policies

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. We adopted ASU 2020-04 as of January 1, 2022. The Company has determined the impact of this adoption was not material to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


2.    NET INCOME PER SHARE

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

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

The following table sets forth (in thousands) potential common shares that were considered anti-dilutive securities at March 31, 2022 and 2021:
 March 31, 2022March 31, 2021

3.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

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

5.    LEASES

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

Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. As our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular location and currency environment. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 5.9% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 5.7 years.

Finance lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. Each lease agreement provides an implicit discount rate used to determine the present value of future payments. As of March 31, 2022, the weighted-average discount rate was 2.3% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 1.8 years.

Lease costs for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our total operating lease costs were $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Related cash payments were $1.5 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Short term lease costs were $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Operating lease costs are included within research and development, marketing and selling, and general and administrative lines on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the related cash payments are included in the operating cash flows on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Finance lease costs, variable lease costs, and sublease income are not material.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments for operating and finance leases under non-cancelable leases with terms of more than one year to the total lease liabilities recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

7.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

We entered into a long-term agreement to purchase a variety of information technology solutions from a third party in the second quarter of 2020, which included an unconditional commitment to purchase a minimum of $32.2 million of products and services over the initial five years of the agreement. We have purchased $13.5 million of products and services pursuant to this agreement as of March 31, 2022.

We have letters of credit that are used as security deposits in connection with our leased Burlington, Massachusetts office space. In the event of default on the underlying leases, the landlords would, at March 31, 2022, be eligible to draw against the letters of credit to a maximum of $0.7 million.

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

Substantially all of our letters of credit are collateralized by restricted cash included in the caption “Restricted cash” and “Other long-term assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022.

Contingencies

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

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

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

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

At March 31, 2022 and as of the date of filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that, other than as set forth in this note, no provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claims because: (a) there is
11


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

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

We provide warranties on externally sourced and internally developed hardware. For internally developed hardware, and in cases where the warranty granted to customers for externally sourced hardware is greater than that provided by the manufacturer, we record an accrual for the related liability based on historical trends and actual material and labor costs. The following table sets forth the activity in the product warranty accrual account for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31,

Accrual balance at end of period$1,234 $1,187 

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

8.    RESTRUCTURING COSTS AND ACCRUALS

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded an immaterial amount of restructuring charges due to employee severance cost adjustments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.1 million for employee severance costs related to approximately 23 positions eliminated during the first quarter of 2021.

The following table sets forth the activity in the restructuring accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Remaining Performance Obligations

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

Historically, for many of our products, we had an ongoing practice of making when-and-if-available software updates available to customers free of charge for a period of time after initial sales to customers. The expectation created by this practice of providing free Software Updates represents an implied obligation of a form of post-contract customer support (“Implied PCS”) which represents a performance obligation. While we have ceased providing Implied PCS on new product offerings, we continue to provide Implied PCS for older products that were predominately sold in prior years. Revenue attributable to Implied PCS performance obligations is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the period that Implied PCS is expected to be provided, which is typically six years. We have remaining performance obligations of $5.2 million attributable to Implied PCS recorded in deferred revenue as of March 31, 2022. We expect to recognize revenue for these remaining performance obligations of $1.6 million for the remainder of 2022 and $1.5 million, $1.1 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively, and $0.1 million thereafter.

As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately $35.6 million of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for certain enterprise agreements that have not yet been fully invoiced. Approximately $25.5 million of these performance obligations were unbilled as of March 31, 2022. Remaining performance obligations represent obligations we must deliver for specific products and services in the future where there is not yet an enforceable right to invoice the customer. Our remaining performance obligations do not include contractually committed minimum purchases that are common in our strategic purchase agreements with resellers since our specific obligations to deliver products or services is not yet known, as customers may satisfy such commitments by purchasing an unknown combination of current or future product offerings. While the timing of fulfilling individual performance obligations under the contracts can vary dramatically based on customer requirements, we expect to recognize the $35.6 million in roughly equal installments through 2027.

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

Credit Agreement

On January 5, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as collateral and administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks, as lenders thereunder (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide the Company with (a) a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $180.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and (b) a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) of up to a maximum of $70.0 million in borrowings outstanding at any time. The Credit Facility, which was undrawn at closing, can be used for working capital, other general corporate purposes and for other permitted uses. The proceeds from the Term Loan, plus available cash on hand, were used to repay outstanding borrowings of $201 million under the Company’s prior financing agreement with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC ( the “Financing Agreement”), which was then terminated. As a result of this termination, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.7 million as a result of writing off $2.6 million of remaining unamortized issuance costs as well as a $1.1 million prepayment penalty.

In association with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $2.5 million of issuance discounts and an immaterial amount of issuance costs. The Term Loan had an initial interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.00%, with a 0.25% LIBOR floor. The applicable margin on the Term Loan and the Credit Facility ranged from 2.00% to 3.25%, depending on leverage.
15



On February 25, 2022, the Company executed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the Lenders. The A&R Credit Agreement extended the term of the Term Loan by approximately one year to February 25, 2027, reduced the applicable interest rate margins by 0.25%, removed the LIBOR floor, moved the reference rate from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), reset the principal amortization schedule, and eliminated the fixed charge coverage ratio. The effective interest rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 2.75%.

The Company granted a security interest on substantially all of its assets to secure the obligations under the Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

The A&R Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain a total net leverage ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00 initially, with step downs thereafter. Other terms of the A&R Credit Agreement remain substantially the same as the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants as of March 31, 2022.

In connection with the A&R Credit Agreement, the Company incurred an additional $0.4 million of issuance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2022. These additional costs and the remaining unamortized Term Loan discount and issuance costs will be amortized jointly over the amended remaining life of the A&R Credit Agreement. We recorded $1.2 million of interest expense on the Term Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, there were no amounts drawn under the Credit Facility.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Business Overview

We develop, market, sell, and support software and integrated solutions for video and audio content creation, management and distribution. We are a leading technology provider that powers the media and entertainment industry. We do this by providing an open and efficient platform for digital media, along with a comprehensive set of tools and workflow solutions. Our solutions are used in production and post-production facilities; film studios; network, affiliate, independent and cable television stations; recording studios; live-sound performance venues; advertising agencies; government and educational institutions; corporate communications departments; and by independent video and audio creative professionals, as well as aspiring professionals. Projects produced using our tools, platform, and ecosystem include feature films, television programming, live events, news broadcasts, sports productions, commercials, music, video, and other digital media content. With over one million creative users and thousands of enterprise clients relying on our technology platforms and solutions around the world, Avid enables the industry to thrive in today’s connected media and entertainment world.

Our mission is to empower media creators with innovative technology and collaborative tools to entertain, inform, educate, and enlighten the world. Our clients rely on Avid’s products and solutions to create prestigious and award-winning feature films, music recordings, television shows, live concerts, sporting events, and news broadcasts. Avid has been honored for technological innovation with 18 Emmy Awards, one Grammy Award, two Oscars, and the first ever America Cinema Editors Technical Excellence Award.

Operations Overview

Our strategy for connecting creative professionals and media enterprises with audiences in a powerful, efficient, collaborative, and profitable way leverages our creative software tools, including Pro Tools for audio and Media Composer for video, and our MediaCentral Platform - the open, extensible, and customizable foundation that streamlines and simplifies content workflows by integrating all Avid or third-party products and services that run on top of it. The platform provides secure and protected access, and enables fast and easy creation, delivery, and monetization of content.

We work to ensure that we are meeting customer needs, staying ahead of industry trends, and investing in the right areas through a close and interactive relationship with our customer base. The Avid Customer Association was established to be an innovative and influential media technology community. It represents thousands of organizations and over 30,000 professionals from all levels of the industry including inspirational and award-winning thought leaders, innovators, and storytellers. The Avid Customer Association fosters collaboration between Avid, its customers, and other industry colleagues to help shape our product offerings and provide a means to shape our industry together.

A key element of our strategy is our transition to a recurring revenue-based model through a combination of subscription offerings and long-term agreements. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately 432,000 paid subscriptions. The subscription count includes all paid and active seats under multi-seat licenses. These licensing options offer choices in pricing and deployment to suit our customers’ needs. Our subscription offerings to date have been sold to creative professionals and media enterprises. We expect to increase subscription sales to media enterprises going forward as we expand offerings and move through customer upgrade cycles, which we expect will further increase recurring revenue on a longer-term basis. Our long-term agreements are comprised of multi-year agreements with large media enterprise customers to provide specified products and services, including SaaS offerings, and channel partners and resellers to purchase minimum amounts of products and service over a specified period of time.

Avid continued to invest in our Digital Transformation Initiative through the first quarter of 2022, which focuses on optimizing systems, processes, and back-office functions with the objective of improving our operations related to our digital and subscription business. The project started in the third quarter of 2021 and over the next four years, we plan to significantly invest in transforming our enterprise-wide infrastructure and technologies to benefit customers and drive enhanced performance across the company.

Recent Developments Affecting on Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant global economic uncertainty which adversely impacted our business and the business of our customers and partners during 2020. However, our results through 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, reflected a gradual recovery in spending levels with the continuing positive signs of recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic driven by vaccination and government stimulus programs, particularly in the United States. At the same time, certain countries continue to face challenges and there remains uncertainty relating to the ongoing spread and severity of the virus and its variants. Although we are encouraged by the trends we have seen, to the extent that the pandemic continues to have negative impacts on economies, our results could be affected and uneven. Ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent variants continue to complicate supply chain logistics and cause delays, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine may exacerbate supply chain issues further. Consequently, we will continue to evaluate our financial position in light of future developments, particularly those relating to COVID-19.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition and allowances for sales returns and exchanges, stock-based compensation, and income tax assets and liabilities. We believe these policies and estimates are critical because they most significantly affect the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and involve our most complex and subjective estimates and judgments. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates may be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates”. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net Revenues

Our net revenues are derived mainly from sales of subscription software solutions, maintenance contracts, and integrated solutions for digital media content production, management and distribution, and related professional services. We commonly sell large, complex solutions to our customers that, due to their strategic nature, have long lead times where the timing of order execution and fulfillment can be difficult to predict. In addition, the rapid evolution of the media industry is changing our customers’ needs, businesses, and revenue models, which is influencing their short-term and long-term purchasing decisions. As a result of these factors, the timing and amount of product revenue recognized related to orders for large, complex solutions, as well as the services associated with them, can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and cause significant volatility in our quarterly operating results. For a discussion of these factors, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Subscription Revenues

Our subscription revenues are derived primarily from sales of our Media Composer, Pro Tools, and Sibelius offerings. Subscription revenues increased $8.1 million, or 32.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily a result of new customers adopting our subscription solutions and customers transitioning from our perpetual product licenses to our subscription-based model.

Maintenance Revenues

Our maintenance revenues are derived from a variety of maintenance contracts for our software and integrated solutions. Maintenance contracts allow each customer to select the level of technical and operational support that they need to maintain their operational effectiveness. Maintenance contracts typically include the right to the latest software updates, call support, and, in some cases, hardware maintenance. Maintenance revenues decreased $1.5 million, or 5.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to customers transitioning from our perpetual based licenses to our subscription licenses.

Integrated Solutions and other Revenues

Our integrated solutions and other revenues are derived primarily from sales of our storage and workflow solutions, media management solutions, video creative tools, digital audio software and workstation solutions, and our control surfaces, consoles, and live-sound systems as well as professional and learning services. Integrated solutions and other revenues decreased slightly, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021 as the result of delayed shipments due to supply chain issues.


Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit and Gross Margin Percentage

Cost of revenues consists primarily of costs associated with:
procurement of components and finished goods;
assembly, testing and distribution of finished products;
warehousing;
customer support related to maintenance;
royalties for third-party software and hardware included in our products; and
providing professional services and training.

Costs of Revenues and Gross Profit for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Gross Margin Percentage

Gross margin percentage, which is net revenues less costs of revenues divided by net revenues, fluctuates based on factors such as the mix of products sold, the cost and proportion of third-party hardware and software included in the systems sold, the offering of product upgrades, price discounts and other sales-promotion programs, the distribution channels through which products are sold, the timing of new product introductions, sales of aftermarket hardware products, and currency exchange-rate fluctuations. For a discussion of these factors, see the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Our gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased to 66.3% from 65.1% compared to the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily due to increased volume on our higher margin subscription revenue as well as an improvement in our integrated solutions gross margin. This was offset by the decrease in our subscription margins due to increased customer care costs being allocated to subscription.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses include costs associated with the development of new products and the enhancement of existing products, and consist primarily of employee compensation and benefits, facilities costs, depreciation, costs for consulting and temporary employees, and prototype and other development expenses. R&D expenses increased $1.3 million, or 8.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to increased consulting and outside research and development services for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021.

efforts to promote increased sales. The increase in consulting and outside services for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increased used of external contractors to provide marketing and promotional support as well as assist in our digital transformation initiative. The change in foreign exchange translations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was due to foreign exchange gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions and the revaluation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. These foreign exchange changes were primarily due to the euro-dollar exchange rate volatility. The decrease in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was related to a reduction in our bad debt allowance.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and benefits for administrative, executive, finance and legal personnel, audit, legal and strategic consulting fees, and insurance, information systems and facilities costs. Information systems and facilities costs reported within general and administrative expenses are net of allocations to other expenses categories. The tables below provide further details regarding the changes in components of G&A expenses.

The increase in personnel-related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to an increase in variable related compensation as a result of the Company’s continued strong performance. The increase in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily a result of business development activities as well as our digital transformation initiative.

The increase in the tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, is primarily due to the increase in worldwide pre-tax income. No benefit was provided for the tax loss generated in the United States due to a full valuation on the deferred tax asset.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Sources of Cash

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents totaling $41.2 million as of March 31, 2022, as well as the availability of borrowings of up to $70.0 million under our revolving Credit Facility. We have generally funded operations in recent years through the use of existing cash balances, supplemented from time to time with the proceeds of long-term debt and borrowings under our credit facilities.

We have continued our commitment to a digital transformation initiative focused around modernizing our enterprise-wide infrastructure and technologies to benefit our customers and drive enhanced performance across the company, which we started in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Over the next four years we plan to invest significant funds and resources towards implementing these new technologies.

On January 5, 2021, we entered into the Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and a syndicate of banks, as collateral and administrative agent, and the Lenders. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders agreed to provide us with the Term Loan and the Credit Facility. We borrowed the full amount of the Term Loan, or $180.0 million, on the closing date, but did not borrow any of the $70.0 million available under the Credit Facility on the closing date. The proceeds from the Term Loan, plus available cash on hand, were used to repay outstanding borrowings of $201.0 million under the Company’s prior credit facility with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, which was then terminated. Prior to the maturity of the Credit Facility, any amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, reborrowed in whole or in part without penalty.

On February 25, 2022, the Company executed the A&R Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the Lenders. The A&R Credit Agreement extended the term of the Term Loan by approximately one year to February 25, 2027, reduced the applicable interest rate margins by 0.25%, removed the LIBOR floor, moved the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR, reset the principal amortization schedule, and eliminated the fixed charge coverage ratio. The A&R Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant to maintain a total net leverage ratio of no more than 4.00 to 1.00 initially, with step downs thereafter. Other terms of the A&R Credit Agreement remain substantially the same as the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan, as amended, has an initial interest rate of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, with a 0% floor. The applicable margin for SOFR loans under the A&R Credit Agreement ranges from 1.75% to 3.0%, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. Both the Term Loan and the revolving Credit Facility mature on February 25, 2027.

Our ability to satisfy the maximum total net leverage ratio covenant in the future depends on our ability to increase bookings and billings above levels experienced over the last 12 months. In recent quarters, we have experienced volatility in bookings and billings resulting from, among other things, (i) our transition towards subscription and recurring revenue streams and the resulting decline in traditional upfront product sales, (ii) dramatic changes in the media industry and the impact it has on our customers, (iii) the impact of new and anticipated product launches and features, and (iv) volatility in currency rates.

In the event revenues in future quarters are lower than we currently anticipate, we may be forced to take remedial actions which could include, among other things (and where allowed by the lenders), (i) further cost reductions, (ii) seeking replacement financing, (iii) raising funds through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the incurrence of additional borrowings, or (iv) disposing of certain assets or businesses. Such remedial actions, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all, could have a material adverse impact on our business. If we are not in compliance with the net leverage ratio covenant and are unable to obtain an amendment or waiver, such noncompliance may result in an event of default under the A&R Credit Agreement, which could permit acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness under the A&R Credit Agreement and require us to repay such indebtedness before the scheduled due date. If an event of default were to occur, we might not have sufficient funds available to make the payments required. If we are unable to repay amounts owed, the lenders may be entitled to foreclose on and sell substantially all of our assets, which secure our borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement.

Our cash requirements vary depending on factors such as the growth of the business, changes in working capital, and capital expenditures. We anticipate that we will have sufficient internal and external sources of liquidity to fund operations and anticipated working capital and other expected cash needs for at least the next 12 months as well as for the foreseeable future. We also believe that our financial resources will allow us to manage the anticipated impact of COVID-19 on our business operations and cash flows for the foreseeable future, which could include reductions in revenue and delays in payments from customers and partners. The challenges posed by COVID-19 on our business are constantly evolving. Consequently, we will continue to evaluate our financial position in light of future developments, particularly those relating to COVID-19.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):
 Three Months Ended March 31,
 20222021
Net cash provided by operating activities$7,916 $12,313 
Net cash used in investing activities(3,244)(1,254)
Net cash used in financing activities(19,991)(35,003)
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash(254)(332)
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$(15,573)$(24,276)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities aggregated $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in cash provided by operations compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to a change in working capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash flows used in investing activities reflected $3.2 million used for the purchase of property and equipment. Our purchases of property and equipment largely consist of computer hardware and software to support R&D activities and information systems.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash flows used in financing activities were primarily the result of our stock repurchase program and our common stock repurchases for tax withholdings for net settlement of equity awards.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have significant international operations and derive more than half of our revenues from customers outside the United States. This business is, for the most part, transacted through international subsidiaries and generally in the currency of the end-user customers. Therefore, we are exposed to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our revenues, net income, and cash flow.

We recorded a net foreign exchange loss of $0.7 million and an immaterial net foreign exchange gain for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The foreign exchange gains and losses resulted from foreign currency denominated transactions and the revaluation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

A hypothetical change of 10% in appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency exchange rates from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates as of March 31, 2022 would not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

On February 25, 2022, the Company executed an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and the Lenders. The A&R Credit Agreement had an initial interest rate of SOFR plus an applicable margin of 2.25%, with a 0% floor. The applicable margin for SOFR loans under the A&R Credit Agreement ranges from 1.75% to 3.0%, depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates paid on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2022, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

27


The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
