Previous report
We may not realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the sale of our Video business. The constraints on our business imposed by the Disposition, including the resources required to complete the Disposition and the sale of certain assets and revenue streams we have historically used in our business, could have a continuing impact on the execution of our business strategy and our overall operating results.
Reworded paragraphs (18)
Previous wording
If we are unsuccessful in completing the pending sale of our Video business or executing our business plan and necessary transition activities following the sale of our Video business, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and our ability to invest and grow our business could be limited.
Current wording
If we are unsuccessful in executing our business plan and necessary transition activities following the sale of our Video business, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and our ability to invest and grow our business could be limited.
Previous wording
On March 20, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell our Video business to Leone Media Inc. (the "Disposition"). We face risks related to the Disposition, including the possibility that the Asset Purchase Agreement may be terminated prior to the completion of the Disposition, diversion of management’s attention, disruption of our relationships with third parties and employees, and restrictions on our business activities and potential litigation related to the Disposition. We may experience delays in the anticipated timing of activities related to the Disposition, and higher than expected or unanticipated execution costs. If we do not succeed in executing the Disposition or if these efforts are more costly or time-consuming than expected, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected, which could limit our ability to invest in and grow our business.
Current wording
On June 16, 2026, we completed the sale of our Video business to Leone Media Inc. (the "Disposition"). We face risks related to the Disposition, including the diversion of management’s attention related to our continuing obligations under the transition services agreement, disruption of our relationships with third parties and employees, and restrictions on our business activities and potential litigation related to the Disposition. If these efforts are more costly or time-consuming than expected, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected, which could limit our ability to invest in and grow our business.
Previous wording
The Video business generated approximately 29% of our aggregate revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and approximately 36% of our aggregate revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Accordingly, our future financial results may differ from our previous results since our future financial results will be dependent solely on our Broadband business. Any downturn in our Broadband business could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results and financial condition and could materially and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Current wording
The Video business generated approximately 37% of our aggregate revenue for fiscal year 2025. Following the completion of the Disposition on June 16, 2026, all of our revenue will be derived from our Broadband business. Accordingly, our future financial results may differ from our previous results since our future financial results will be dependent solely on our Broadband business. Any downturn in our Broadband business could have a material adverse effect on our future operating results and financial condition and could materially and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.
Previous wording
In the past, adverse economic conditions in one or more of the geographies in which we offer our products have adversely affected our customers’ spending in those geographies and, as a result, our business. During challenging economic times, such as those caused by the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, inflation, currency devaluation, and bank insolvencies and related uncertainty and volatility in the financial services sector and in tight credit markets, many customers have delayed and reduced and may continue to delay or reduce capital expenditures. This has resulted and could continue to result in reductions in revenue from our products, longer sales cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in the United States, Europe or other key markets, remain uncertain or deteriorate, we could experience a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Previous wording
Historically, a significant portion of our revenue has been derived from relatively few customers, due in part to customer consolidation. Sales to our top 10 customers in the three months ended April 3, 2026 accounted for approximately 88% of our net revenue compared to 89% for the corresponding period in 2025. Although we continue to seek to broaden our customer base by penetrating new markets and further expanding domestically and internationally, we expect to see continuing industry consolidation activity and customer concentration.
Current wording
Historically, a significant portion of our revenue has been derived from relatively few customers, due in part to customer consolidation. Sales to our top 10 customers in the three and six months ended July 3, 2026 accounted for approximately 89% and 87%, respectively, of our net revenue compared to 88% and 86% for the corresponding periods in 2025. Although we continue to seek to broaden our customer base by penetrating new markets and further expanding domestically and internationally, we expect to see continuing industry consolidation activity and customer concentration.
Previous wording
During the three months ended April 3, 2026, two of our customers accounted for approximately 36% and 22%, respectively, of our net revenue. For the three months ended March 28, 2025, two of our customers accounted for approximately 48% and 19%, respectively, of our net revenue. Further consolidation among cable operators and telecommunication companies could lead to additional revenue concentration for us. The loss of any significant customer, or any material reduction in orders from any other significant customer, or our failure to qualify our new products with any significant customer could materially and adversely affect, either long term or in a particular quarter, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. If our significant customers deploy our solutions slower or at a scale that is lower than we anticipate, our operating results, financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Current wording
During the three months ended July 3, 2026, two of our customers accounted for approximately 45% and 18%, respectively, of our net revenue, compared to one customer accounted for approximately 54% of our net revenue during the three months ended June 27, 2025. During the six months ended July 3, 2026, two of our customers accounted for approximately 41% and 20%, respectively, of our net revenue, compared to two customers accounted for approximately 51% and 13%, respectively, of our net revenue during the six months ended June 27, 2025.

In addition, in most quarters, we are involved in one or more relatively large individual transactions. A decrease in the number of the relatively larger individual transactions in which we are involved in any quarter could materially and adversely affect the operating results for that quarter for the applicable business unit or the Company as a whole.

Previous wording
In addition, some of our larger competitors may have more long-standing and established relationships with certain domestic and foreign customers. Many of these large enterprises are in a better position to withstand any significant reduction in spending by customers in our markets and may be better able to navigate periods of market uncertainty, such as the uncertainty caused by the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine conflicts and related risks of escalation or broader regional conflicts, bank insolvency and related uncertainty and volatility in the financial services sector and inflation. They often have broader product lines and market focus, and may not be as susceptible to downturns in a particular market. These competitors may also be able to bundle their products together to meet the needs of a particular customer, and may be capable of delivering more complete solutions than we are able to provide. To the extent large enterprises that currently do not compete directly with us choose to enter our markets by acquisition or otherwise, competition would likely intensify.

Previous wording
We outsource a portion of our research and development and product support activities to our third-party partner, GlobalLogic, a Hitachi group company. Through GlobalLogic, we have a significant number of engineering resources located in Kyiv, Ukraine. Political, social and economic instability and unrest or violence in Ukraine from the ongoing military conflict with the Russian Federation have caused, and may continue to cause, disruptions to the business and operations of GlobalLogic, which could slow or delay the development work our outsourced engineering teams are undertaking for us. Any escalation of political tensions, military activity, instability, unrest or conflict could disrupt or prevent the work of our outsourced engineering teams; limit or prevent our employees from traveling to, from, or within Ukraine to direct and coordinate our outsourced engineering teams; or cause us to shift all or portions of the development work occurring in Ukraine, and/or cause GlobalLogic to relocate personnel to other locations or countries pursuant to its business continuity plans. Any resulting delays could negatively impact our product development efforts, operating results and our business. In addition, increased costs associated with managing or relocating our outsourced engineering teams in Ukraine, or engaging with alternative engineering resources outside of Ukraine, could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.

From the outset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, our employees have been restricted from traveling to Ukraine and have directed and coordinated our outsourced engineering teams remotely. While we have not yet experienced any significant disruptions to our development work in Ukraine, any further escalation of military activity, political tensions, instability, unrest or conflict could disrupt or prevent the work of our outsourced engineering teams, or cause us to shift all or portions of the development work occurring in Ukraine, and/or cause GlobalLogic to relocate personnel to other locations or countries pursuant to its business continuity plans.

Previous wording
As of April 3, 2026, we had 339 employees in our international operations, representing approximately 65% of our worldwide workforce. Our ability to manage our business effectively in the future, including with respect to any future growth, our operation as both a hardware and increasingly software and SaaS-centric business, the integration of any acquisition efforts, and the breadth of our international operations, will require us to train, motivate and manage our employees successfully, to attract and integrate new employees into our overall operations, to retain key employees and to continue to improve and evolve our operational, financial and management systems. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in any of these efforts, and our failure to effectively manage our operations could have a material and adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

Previous wording
Cyber criminals and hackers may attempt to penetrate our network security, or the network security of third parties we work with, including our third-party vendors, service providers, manufacturers, solution providers, partners and consultants, misappropriate our proprietary information or cause business interruptions, or access or misappropriate other sensitive data. Because the techniques used by such computer programmers to access or sabotage networks change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In the past, we and relevant third parties have faced compromises to our network security, though no prior incidents we have identified to date have materially affected our business, results of operations or financial condition. Companies are facing additional attacks as workforces have become more distributed as a result of remote and hybrid working arrangements, and advances in AI capabilities may increase the likelihood of our being impacted by security breaches or incidents and the severity of those impacts. Additionally, geopolitical events such as the Iran war, the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine conflicts and heightened tension between Israel and Iran may increase the cybersecurity risks we and the third parties we work with face. Our business operations utilize and rely upon numerous third-party vendors, service providers, manufacturers, solution providers, partners and consultants, and any failure of such third parties’ cybersecurity measures could materially and adversely affect or disrupt our business.

Previous wording
We are monitoring and managing our cash position in light of ongoing market conditions due to general economic and market conditions, volatility and uncertainty in the banking and financial services sector, overall fluctuations in U.S. equity markets, the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine conflicts, and related macroeconomic conditions. We believe that our existing cash of approximately $109.0 million as of April 3, 2026 will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need to raise additional funds to take advantage of presently unanticipated strategic opportunities, satisfy our other cash requirements from time to time, or strengthen our financial position. Our ability to raise funds may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including factors beyond our control, such as weakness in the economic conditions in markets in which we sell our products, bank failures and continued uncertainty in financial, capital and credit markets. There can be no assurance that equity or debt financing will be available to us on reasonable terms, if at all, when and if it is needed.

On December 21, 2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents are required to be guaranteed by certain of our material subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and such subsidiary guarantors.

To finance the settlement of the conversions of the 2024 Notes in connection with our delivery of the notice of redemption for such 2024 Notes, we drew down $75.0 million on the Revolving Facility and $40.0 million on the Term Facility, respectively. As of April 3, 2026, we had $82.0 million remaining available for borrowing under the Revolving Facility and no remaining amounts available for borrowing under the Term Facility.

Revenue derived from customers outside of the United States represented approximately 20% and 27% of our revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2026, and March 28, 2025, respectively. Although no assurance can be given with respect to international sales growth in any one or more regions, we expect that international revenue will likely continue to represent, from year to year, a portion of our revenue, and potentially increasing, percentage of our annual revenue for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the majority of our employees are based in our international offices and locations, and most of our contract manufacturing occurs outside of the United States. In addition, we outsource a portion of our research and development activities to certain third-party partners with development centers located in different countries, particularly Ukraine.
