To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Digi International Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Digi International Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of September 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the year ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Table of Contents at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated November 22, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill — Cellular Routers, Smart Sense, and Ventus Reporting Units — Refer to Notes 1 and 3 to the financial statements
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company used a combination of the income approach and market approach to estimate fair value, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, specifically related to discount rates and forecasts of future revenue growth rate, gross margins and earnings before income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins used in the income approach. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue multiples within the Cellular Routers reporting unit and EBITDA multiples within the Ventus reporting unit. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value. The goodwill balance was $341.9 million as of June 30, 2024, of which $32.7 million, $48.9 million, and $118.6 million was allocated to the Cellular Routers, Smart Sense, and Ventus reporting units, respectively.
We identified goodwill for the Cellular Routers, Smart Sense, and Ventus reporting units as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the fair value of these reporting units. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to selection of the discount rates and forecasts of future revenue growth rate, gross margins, EBITDA margins and revenue multiples within the Cellular Routers reporting unit and EBITDA multiples within Ventus reporting unit.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the discount rates and forecasts of revenue growth rate, future gross margins, EBITDA margins, revenue multiples within the Cellular Routers reporting unit and EBITDA multiples within the Ventus reporting unit used by management to estimate the fair value of the Cellular Routers, Smart Sense and Ventus reporting units included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of the Cellular Routers, Smart Sense, and Ventus reporting units, such as controls related to management’s selection of the discount rates and forecasts of revenue growth rate, gross margins, EBITDA margins, revenue multiples within the Cellular Routers reporting unit, and EBITDA multiples within the Ventus reporting unit.
We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast revenue growth rate, gross margins and EBITDA margins by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s revenue growth rate, gross margin and EBITDA margin forecasts by comparing the forecasts to:
Historical revenue growth rate, gross margins and EBITDA margins.
Forecasted information included in Company press releases as well as in industry reports for the Company and certain of its peer companies.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) discount rates by:
Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rates and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations.
Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.
With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the revenue multiples within the Cellular Routers reporting unit and EBITDA multiples within the Ventus reporting unit, including testing the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and comparing the multiples selected by management to its guideline companies.
