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 statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the three months ended September 26, 2025 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 27, 2025.

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 September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 both consisted of 13 weeks. Fiscal year 2026 contains 52 weeks and will end on June 26, 2026. Fiscal year 2025 contained 52 weeks and ended on June 27, 2025.

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 three months ended September 26, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2025.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 adopted ASU 2023-07 for the year ended June 27, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software. The ASU requires entities to consider whether significant development uncertainty has been resolved before starting to capitalize software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition method, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company’s annual reporting beginning in fiscal 2028 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal 2029. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

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 and disclosures.

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 (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

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


	Three Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	September 26, 2025		September 27, 2024
Numerator:
Net income (loss)	$	162	$	(11,879)

Denominator:
Weighted-average shares outstanding, basic	12,760		12,646
Effect of potentially dilutive equivalent shares	216		—
Weighted-average shares outstanding, diluted	12,976		12,646

Net income (loss) per share of common stock outstanding:
Basic	$	0.01	$	(0.94)
Diluted	$	0.01	$	(0.94)

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


	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 26, 2025	September 27, 2024
Stock options	278	396
Restricted stock units and performance stock units	80	154
Total shares of common stock excluded	358	550

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

Contract Balances


(In thousands)	September 26, 2025		June 27, 2025
Contract assets
Accounts receivable, net	$	180,469	$	180,321
Unbilled receivables	110,677		105,870
Capitalized commissions	2,174		3,921
Contract liabilities
Advance payments and unearned revenue	$	73,447	$	73,735
Unearned revenue, long-term	8,784		8,063

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 September 26, 2025, the Company reported $82.2 million in advance payments and unearned revenue and long-term unearned revenue, of which approximately 90% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter. Approximately $22.0 million of revenue was recognized during the three months ended September 26, 2025, which was included in advance payments and unearned revenue at June 27, 2025.

Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $141.4 million at September 26, 2025 relating to long-term field service projects. 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.

Note 5. 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 September 26, 2025 and June 27, 2025 were as follows:


(In thousands)	September 26, 2025		June 27, 2025		Valuation Inputs
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	4,605	$	2,782	Level 1
Bank certificates of deposit	$	3,146	$	3,660	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 and marketable securities. As of September 26, 2025 and June 27, 2025, the 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 did not have any recurring assets or liabilities that were valued using significant unobservable inputs.

Note 6. 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, October 18, 2024 and August 28, 2025, 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 $95.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $95.0 million Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan”) with a maturity date of October 18, 2029. The $95.0 million Revolver can be borrowed with a $20.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit, and a $10.0 million swingline loan sub-limit. On August 28, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment under the Credit Facility to increase the Term Loan and Revolver commitments by $20 million for each instrument.

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 11. Acquisitions for further information.

As of September 26, 2025, the available credit under the Revolver was $72.1 million, reflecting the available limit of $80.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $7.9 million. The Company borrowed and repaid $25.0 million against the Revolver during the three months ended September 26, 2025. The Company borrowed $20.0 million and repaid $0.9 million against the Term Loan during the three months ended September 26, 2025.

The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding long-term debt as of September 26, 2025:


(In thousands)
Revolver	$	15,000
Term loan	92,188
Less: unamortized deferred financing costs	(703)
Total debt	106,485
Less: current portion of long-term debt	(4,443)
Total long-term debt	$	102,042

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 September 26, 2025, 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 September 26, 2025 was 6.7%.

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 September 26, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

As of September 26, 2025, scheduled maturities of outstanding long-term debt by fiscal year are as follows:


(In thousands)
Remainder of 2026	$	3,457
2027	6,914
2028	10,371
2029	11,523
2030	74,923

Total	$	107,188

Note 7. Restructuring

The following table summarizes restructuring related activities during the three months ended September 26, 2025:



(In thousands)	Employee Severance and Benefits
Balance as of June, 27, 2025	$	1,757

Cash payments	(687)

Balance as of September, 26, 2025	$	1,070

As of September 26, 2025, the accrued restructuring balance of $1.1 million was included in other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Included in the above were positions identified for termination that have not been executed from a restructuring perspective.

Fiscal 2025 Plans

During fiscal 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved restructuring plans, primarily associated with reductions in workforce in certain of the Company’s operations to optimize skill sets and align cost structure. The fiscal 2025 plans are expected to be completed through the end of fiscal 2026.

Note 8. 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 September 26, 2025, $6.3 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 first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.

Stock Incentive Programs

As of September 26, 2025, 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 three months ended September 26, 2025, the Company granted 174,155 restricted stock units and 128,629 performance share awards.

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.

Note 9. Segment and Geographic Information

Aviat operates in one reportable business segment: the design, manufacturing, and sale of a range of wireless networking and access networking products, solutions, and services. Aviat conducts business globally and its sales and support activities are managed on a geographic basis. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”). The CODM manages the business primarily by function globally and reviews financial information on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The profitability of geographic regions is not a determining factor in allocating resources and the CODM does not evaluate profitability below the level of the consolidated company. Significant segment expenses are not analyzed by segment within the Company’s internal reporting. Significant segment expenses are presented in Aviat’s consolidated statement of operations.

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 months ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 26, 2025		September 27, 2024
North America	$	52,647	$	42,225
Africa and the Middle East	12,796		10,450
Europe	7,560		5,600
Latin America and Asia Pacific	34,317		30,154
Total revenue	$	107,320	$	88,429

Revenue by country comprising more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 was as follows:


(In thousands)	Revenue		% of Total Revenue
Three Months Ended September 26, 2025

Total	$	21,506	$	15,548

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes, losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized, stock-based compensation and foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates. During interim periods, tax expense or benefit are accrued for jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2026.

The determination of income taxes for the three months ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 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. The tax expense for the three months ended September 26, 2025 was primarily related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries. The tax benefit for the three months ended September 27, 2024 was primarily resulting from year-to-date losses.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Singapore, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination in Singapore for fiscal years 2015-2021 and in various other foreign jurisdictions. The Company remains subject to potential audits in the U.S. for fiscal years after 2021, and in Singapore for fiscal years after 2014. Additionally, all net operating losses and tax credits generated to date in these two jurisdictions are subject to adjustment.

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 three months ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024.

On March 11, 2021, the U.S. 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 July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. At this time the Company does not expect a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, but will continue to examine the impacts of OBBBA on current and future business.

Note 11. Acquisitions

4RF Limited

On July 2, 2024, the Company acquired 4RF Limited (“4RF”), a New Zealand company. Aviat purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of 4RF in an all-cash transaction for $18.2 million, net of $1.2 million cash acquired. 4RF is a leading provider of industrial wireless access solutions, including narrowband point-to-point/multi-point radios and Private LTE and 5G routers. The acquisition of 4RF allows Aviat to expand its product offering for the global industrial wireless access markets including Private LTE/5G.

The 4RF acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company finalized purchase accounting adjustments for the valuation of intangible and tangible assets acquired. The fair value of the acquired intangible assets are based on estimates and assumptions that are considered reasonable to the Company.

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


(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,215
Accounts receivable, net	2,575
Inventories	5,123
Property, plant and equipment, net	235
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets:
Customer relationships	7,100
Technology	1,800
Trade names	300
Other assets	4,647
Accounts payable	(5,104)
Advance payments and unearned revenue	(323)
Other liabilities	(2,202)
Goodwill	3,999
Net assets acquired	$	19,365

The final purchase price allocation was updated during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 for certain measurement period adjustments based on revised estimates of fair value, which primarily resulted in a $1.7 million decrease to inventories, a $1.1 million increase in other assets, a $0.4 million increase in identifiable intangible assets and a $0.3 million increase to goodwill. The goodwill from this acquisition is non-deductible for tax purposes.

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.

Prior to the acquisition 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 date of acquisition.

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 acquisition date. Aggregate consideration transferred at closing was approximately $54.5 million, which was subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the cash portion of the consideration with Term Loan borrowings under its Credit Facility. Refer to Note 6. Credit Facility and Debt for further information.

In the second and fourth quarters of fiscal 2025, the Company transferred consideration of $5.8 million and $12.7 million, respectively, to settle the post-closing working capital adjustment.

The NEC Transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company has obtained final independent third-party valuations of the 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.

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


(In thousands)
Accounts receivable, net	$	42,487
Inventories	29,279
Property, plant and equipment, net	539
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets:
Customer relationships	9,200
Technology	3,200
Other assets	243
Accounts payable	(13,182)
Advance payments and unearned revenue	(3,192)
Other liabilities	(5,597)
Goodwill	10,543
Net assets acquired	$	73,520

The final purchase price allocation was updated during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 for certain measurement period adjustments based on revised estimates of fair value. Purchase price allocation adjustments during the measurement period primarily resulted in a $9.4 million decrease in accounts receivable, $6.3 million decrease in inventories, $5.3 million increase in identifiable intangible assets, and $10.0 million increase in goodwill.

The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information has been presented as if the NEC Transaction had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2023 and includes certain pro forma adjustments for interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, the fair value of acquired inventory, and acquisition-related costs, net of income tax:

Note 12. 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 (i) finished products that it has ordered, (ii) finished products that it requested be held as safety stock, and (iii) 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 September 26, 2025, the Company had outstanding purchase obligations with its suppliers or contract manufacturers of $46.6 million. In addition, the Company had purchase obligations of approximately $6.8 million associated with software as a service and software maintenance support.

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 September 26, 2025, 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 September 26, 2025, the Company had commercial commitments outstanding of $33.7 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)	September 26, 2025
Letters of credit	$	7,887
Bonds	25,778
	$	33,665

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 September 26, 2025, 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 September 26, 2025, 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.

On August 13, 2025 and October 21, 2025, NEC issued letters of arbitration to the Company originally demanding $19 million of additional component purchases, which the Company believes is unfounded and not required under the Manufacturing Supply Agreement (“MSA”). NEC further demanded the escrow under the Master Sale of Business Agreement (“MSBA”). The NEC arbitration letters also included a demand for payment of the outstanding accounts payable balances which are reflected in Accounts payable of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and disclosed in Note. 14 Related Party Transactions. As of September 26, 2025, the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters. As such, no loss accrual is deemed necessary. The Company will continue to evaluate the proceedings and the expected outcome of this matter.

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 the acquisition of Telsima India in February 2009. In September 2019, the directors of Aviat India appeared before the Ministry of Finance Enforcement Directorate. The Company appeared before the Joint Director of Enforcement to review the transactions at issue in March 2024, and again on May 22, 2025 to provide additional information. No subsequent hearing date has been scheduled as of September 26, 2025. 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 the 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.

Note 14. Related Party Transactions

NEC Corporation

On November 30, 2023, the Company completed the NEC Transaction. See Note 11. Acquisitions for further information. A portion of the total consideration in the NEC Transaction included the issuance of 736,750 shares in Company common stock to NEC. 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 acquisition 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 acquisition date. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, NEC has the right to nominate a director to the Company’s Board of Directors from the acquisition date and for a period of two years thereafter. As of September 26, 2025, NEC held approximately 5.8% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

In connection with the closing of the NEC Transaction and as of the acquisition 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.

Overview of Business; Operating Environment and Key Factors Impacting Fiscal 2026 and 2025 Results

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand Aviat’s results of operations and financial condition. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In the discussion herein, the fiscal year ending June 26, 2026 is referred to as “fiscal 2026” or “2026” and the fiscal year ended June 27, 2025 is referred to as “fiscal 2025” or “2025.”

Acquisitions

4RF Limited

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) with NEC Corporation (“NEC”), to acquire NEC’s wireless transport business (the “NEC Transaction”). The Company completed the NEC Transaction on November 30, 2023.

Prior to the acquisition 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. Refer to Note 11. Acquisitions of the Notes 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 was subject to certain post-closing adjustments. In fiscal 2025, the Company transferred consideration of $18.6 million to settle the post-closing working capital adjustment. The Company funded the cash portion of the NEC Transaction with Term Loan borrowings under its Credit Facility. Refer to Note 6. Credit Facility and Debt of the Notes for further information.

Operations Review

The market for mobile backhaul continued to be the Company’s primary addressable market segment globally in the first three months of fiscal 2026. 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. In early 2025, new U.S. tariffs on foreign imports were proposed and introduced. Aviat will attempt to mitigate these tariffs by optimizing its sourcing and operations to minimize any cost impact. Aviat has and may continue to implement pricing actions to offset the impact of these tariffs. 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 September 10, 2025, 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 months ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 and the related changes were as follows:

Revenue in North America increased by $10.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with the same period of fiscal 2025 primarily due to increases in demand for product and services, of 54% and 15%, respectively, across mobile network operators and private network customers. This was partially offset by lower demand for software offerings decreasing by 15%.

Revenue in Africa and the Middle East increased by $2.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with the same period of fiscal 2025. This was primarily due to increases in demand for services and products of 81% and 14%, respectively across mobile network operators and private network customers in Africa. This was partially offset by lower demand for software offerings by 17%.

Revenue in Europe increased by $2.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with the same period of fiscal 2025. The increases were primarily due to increased demand for software offerings of 147% and higher product volumes across private network customers of 76%, partially offset by a 57% decrease in services revenue due to project timing.

Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific increased by $4.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with the same period of fiscal 2025 primarily due to higher sales volumes of software offerings and an increase in demand for services of 289% and 20%, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of 34% on equipment sales.

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.

The tax benefit for the first three months of fiscal 2026 was primarily due to tax benefit resulting from year-to-date losses. The tax expense for the first three months of fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to tax expense related to U.S. and profitable foreign subsidiaries.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Financial Strategies

Sources of Cash

As of September 26, 2025, the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents were $64.8 million. Approximately $22.7 million was held in the United States. The remaining balance of $42.2 million, or 65%, was held outside the United States.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows is presented as net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities was $(11.7) million for the first three months of fiscal 2026, compared with $(27.2) million in the prior year. The $15.4 million increase is primarily attributable to increases in net income and deferred taxes compared to the prior year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2026, compared to $21.2 million in the prior year. The $19.4 million decrease is primarily due to prior year acquisition payments associated with the NEC Transaction.

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 $18.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2026, compared with $34.3 million in the prior year. The $(15.8) million decrease is primarily due to reduced Revolver net borrowings compared to the prior year of $35 million, which was partially offset by increased borrowings on the Term Loan of $20 million.

As of September 26, 2025, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of $64.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $72.1 million of available credit under its Credit Facility, and future collections of receivables from customers. On August 28, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment under the Credit Facility to increase the Term Loan and Revolver commitments by $20 million for each instrument. 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.

The Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, the available borrowings under its Credit Facility 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 $25.0 million against the Revolver during the first three months of fiscal 2026 and had $15.0 million borrowings outstanding under the Revolver. As of September 26, 2025, the Company had $92.2 million outstanding under its Term Loan and during the first three months of fiscal 2026 borrowed $20.0 million and repaid $0.9 million against the Term Loan. As of September 26, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility.

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 2025 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the first three months of fiscal 2026.

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.

From time to time, 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 September 26, 2025.

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 September 26, 2025 and June 27, 2025, the cumulative translation adjustment decreased stockholders’ equity by $19.7 million and $18.8 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. Refer to Note 6. Credit Facility and Debt of the Notes for further information.

Exposure on Cash Equivalents

The Company had $64.8 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of September 26, 2025. Cash equivalents totaled $7.8 million as of September 26, 2025 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, refer to Note 5. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities of the Notes for further information.

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. 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

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 September 26, 2025, 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 September 26, 2025 was 6.7%.

A 10% change in interest rates is estimated to have a $0.6 million impact on annual interest expense on the Company’s outstanding long-term debt as of September 26, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2024, and June 27, 2025, the Company’s management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. Refer to Part II, Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 28, 2024 and June 27, 2025, for further information.

During fiscal 2025 and continuing into the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company implemented actions designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate these material weaknesses, including (i) providing training to the applicable control performers related to the importance of timely execution of control activities for which they are responsible; (ii) beginning the redesign of controls over the determination of the appropriate period for revenue recognition, controls over arrangements where revenue is recognized over time and controls related to the review and approval of journal entries, and (iii) implementing a formal monitoring program to perform the necessary evaluations to ascertain whether the components of internal control are present and functioning, including implementing corrective actions as necessary.

These steps are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as oversight by the audit committee of our Board of Directors. While significant progress has been made to remediate the material weaknesses, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the associated controls operate effectively for a sufficient period of time and management concludes, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively. We will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and make further changes management deems appropriate.

The Company’s management, with the participation of our President and CEO, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of September 26, 2025. The Company’s 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, were not effective as of September 26, 2025, due to the material weaknesses described above not being fully remediated as of the date of the evaluation.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Except as noted above, 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 September 26, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or its 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.
