NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Belden Inc. and all of its subsidiaries (the Company, us, we, or our). We eliminate all significant affiliate accounts and transactions in consolidation.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented as of any date other than December 31, 2019:
•Are prepared from the books and records without audit, and
•Are prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete statements, but
•Include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data contained in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Business Description
We are a global supplier of specialty networking solutions built around two global business platforms - Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Solutions. Our comprehensive portfolio of solutions enables customers to transmit and secure data, sound, and video for mission critical applications across complex enterprise and industrial environments.
Effective January 1, 2020, we transferred our West Penn Wire business and multi-conductor product lines from the Enterprise Solutions segment to the Industrial Solutions segment as a result of a shift in responsibilities among the segments. We have recast the prior period segment information to conform to the change in the composition of reportable segments.
Reporting Periods
Our fiscal year and fiscal fourth quarter both end on December 31. Our fiscal first quarter ends on the Sunday falling closest to 91 days after December 31, which was March 29, 2020, the 89th day of our fiscal year 2020. Our fiscal second and third quarters each have 91 days. The three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 included 89 and 90 days, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
•Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
As of and during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash equivalents, and we utilized Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations (see Note 3) and for impairment testing (see Notes 4 and 10). We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including commercial paper, money market accounts, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. We periodically have cash equivalents consisting of short-term money market funds and other investments. As of March 29, 2020, we did not have any such cash equivalents on hand. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes.
During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we paid the sellers of Snell Advanced Media (SAM) the full earnout consideration of $31.4 million in cash as per the purchase agreement. SAM was acquired on February 8, 2018 and is included in the Grass Valley disposal group.
Contingent Liabilities
We have established liabilities for environmental and legal contingencies that are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable, the amounts of which are currently not material. We accrue environmental remediation costs based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposures developed in consultation with our environmental consultants and legal counsel. We are, from time to time, subject to routine litigation incidental to our business. These lawsuits primarily involve claims for damages arising out of the use of our products, allegations of patent or trademark infringement, and litigation and administrative proceedings involving employment matters and commercial disputes. Based on facts currently available, we believe the disposition of the claims that are pending or asserted will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.
As of March 29, 2020, we were party to standby letters of credit, bank guaranties, and surety bonds totaling $7.2 million, $4.2 million, and $3.3 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue consistent with the principles as outlined in the following five step model: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. See Note 2.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date through the financial statement issuance date for appropriate accounting and disclosure. See Note 19.
Noncontrolling Interest
We have a 51% ownership percentage in a joint venture with Shanghai Hi-Tech Control System Co, Ltd (Hite). The purpose of the joint venture is to develop and provide certain Industrial Solutions products and integrated solutions to customers in China. Belden and Hite are committed to fund $1.53 million and $1.47 million, respectively, to the joint venture in the future. The joint venture is determined to not have sufficient equity at risk; therefore, it is considered a variable interest entity. We have determined that Belden is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, due to both our ownership percentage and our control over the activities of the joint venture that most significantly impact its economic performance based on the terms of the joint venture agreement with Hite. Because Belden is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, we have consolidated the joint venture in our financial statements. The results of the joint venture attributable to Hite’s ownership are presented as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The joint venture is not material to our Condensed Consolidated financial statements as of or for the periods ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019.
Furthermore, certain subsidiaries of our Opterna business, which we acquired in April of 2019 include noncontrolling interests. Because we have a controlling financial interest in these subsidiaries, they are consolidated into our financial statements. The results of these subsidiaries were consolidated into our financial statements as of the acquisition date. The results that are attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders are presented as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. An immaterial amount of Opterna's annual revenues are generated from transactions with the noncontrolling interests. The subsidiaries of Opterna that include noncontrolling interests are not material to our Condensed Consolidated financial statements as of or for the period ended March 29, 2020.

Current-Year Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. Under the new standard, we are required to recognize estimated credit losses expected to occur over the estimated life or remaining contractual life of an asset (which includes losses that may be incurred in future periods) using a broader range of information including past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about future economic conditions. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, which resulted in an increase to our allowance for doubtful accounts for continuing operations of $1.0 million, and an increase for discontinued operations of $1.9 million. As of March 29, 2020, there have been no material adjustments, individually or in the aggregate, to the allowance for doubtful accounts under the new credit loss model other than the $2.9 million transition adjustment.
Note 2: Revenues
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in our revenues. The following tables present our revenues disaggregated by major product category.

We generate revenues primarily by selling products that provide secure and reliable transmission of data, sound, and video for mission critical applications. We also generate revenues from providing support and professional services. We sell our products to distributors, end-users, installers, and directly to original equipment manufacturers. At times, we enter into arrangements that involve the delivery of multiple performance obligations. For these arrangements, revenue is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative selling price and recognized when or as each performance obligation is satisfied. Most of our performance obligations related to the sale of products are satisfied at a point in time when control of the product is transferred based on the shipping terms of the arrangement. Generally, we determine relative selling price using the prices charged to customers on a standalone basis.
The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies due to rebates, returns, and price adjustments. We estimate the expected rebates, returns, and price adjustments based on an analysis of historical experience, anticipated sales demand, and trends in product pricing. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Adjustments to revenue for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods were not significant during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019.
The following table presents estimated and accrued variable consideration:

|  | March 29, 2020 |  | March 31, 2019
|  | (in thousands) |  |
Accrued rebates |  | $ | 17,672 |  |  | $ | 17,704 |
Accrued returns |  | 10,491 |  |  | 8,148 |
Price adjustments recognized against gross accounts receivable |  | 26,837 |  |  | 25,572 |

Depending on the terms of an arrangement, we may defer the recognition of some or all of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future obligation. Consideration allocated to support services under a support and maintenance contract is typically paid in advance and recognized ratably over the term of the service. Consideration allocated to professional services is typically recognized when or as the services are performed depending on the terms of the arrangement. As of March 29, 2020, total deferred revenue was $69.5 million, and of this amount, $51.0 million is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months, and the remaining $18.5 million is long-term and is expected to be recognized over a period greater than twelve months.
The following table presents deferred revenue activity:

Revenue recognized |  | (24,415) |  |  | (32,168) |
Ending balance |  | $ | 69,485 |  |  | $ | 66,223 |

We expense sales commissions as incurred when the duration of the related revenue arrangement is one year or less. We capitalize sales commissions in other current and long-lived assets on our balance sheet when the original duration of the related revenue arrangement is longer than one year, and we amortize it over the related revenue arrangement period.
Total capitalized sales commissions was $3.0 million as of March 29, 2020 and $3.4 million as of March 31, 2019. The following table presents sales commissions that are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses:

Note 3: Acquisitions
Special Product Company
On December 6, 2019, we purchased substantially all the assets, and assumed certain specified liabilities of Special Product Company (SPC) for a preliminary purchase price of $22.5 million. SPC, based in Kansas City, Kansas, is a leading designer, manufacturer, and seller of outdoor cabinet products for optical fiber cable installations. The results of SPC have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from December 6, 2019, and are reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. The acquisition of SPC was not material to our financial position or results of operations.
Opterna International Corp.
We acquired 100% of the shares of Opterna International Corp. (Opterna) on April 15, 2019 for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $51.7 million. Of the $51.7 million purchase price, $45.9 million was paid with cash on hand. The acquisition included a potential earnout, which is based upon future Opterna financial targets through April 15, 2021. The maximum earnout consideration is $25.0 million, but based upon a third party valuation specialist using certain assumptions in a discounted cash flow model, the estimated fair value of the earnout included in the purchase price is $5.8 million. Opterna is an international fiber optics solutions business based in Sterling, Virginia, which designs and manufactures a range of complementary fiber connectivity, cabinet, and enclosure products used in optical networks. The results of Opterna have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from April 15, 2019, and are reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. Certain subsidiaries of Opterna include noncontrolling interests. Because Opterna has a controlling financial interest in these subsidiaries, they are consolidated into our financial statements. The results that are attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders are presented as net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. An immaterial amount of Opterna's annual revenues are generated from transactions with the noncontrolling interests. On October 25, 2019, we purchased the noncontrolling interest of one subsidiary for a purchase price of $0.8 million; of which $0.4 million was paid at closing and the remaining $0.4 million will be paid in 2021.
The following table summarizes the estimated, fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of April 15, 2019 (in thousands):

Receivables |  | $ | 5,308 |
Inventory |  | 7,359 |
Prepaid and other current assets |  | 566 |
Property, plant, and equipment |  | 1,328 |
Intangible assets |  | 28,000 |
Goodwill |  | 35,012 |
Deferred income taxes |  | 151 |
Operating lease right-to-use assets |  | 2,204 |
Other long-lived assets |  | 2,070 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 81,998 |
Accounts payable |  | $ | 4,847 |

Total liabilities assumed |  | $ | 25,062 |
Net assets |  | 56,936 |
Noncontrolling interests |  | 5,195 |
Net assets attributable to Belden |  | $ | 51,741 |

We did not record any material measurement-period adjustments in the first quarter of 2020.

A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The judgments we have used in estimating the fair values assigned to each class of acquired assets and assumed liabilities could materially affect the results of our operations.
The fair value of acquired receivables is $5.3 million, which is equivalent to its gross contractual amount.
For purposes of the above allocation, we based our estimate of the fair values for the acquired inventory, intangible assets, and noncontrolling interests on valuation studies performed by a third party valuation firm. We have estimated a fair value adjustment for inventories based on the estimated selling price of the work-in-process and finished goods acquired at the closing date less the sum of the costs to complete the work-in-process, the costs of disposal, and a reasonable profit allowance for our post acquisition selling efforts. We used various valuation methods including discounted cash flows, lost income, excess earnings, and relief from royalty to estimate the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets (Level 3 valuation). Our preliminary estimate of the fair values for the noncontrolling interests were based on the comparable EBITDA multiple valuation technique (Level 3 valuation).
Goodwill and other intangible assets reflected above were determined to meet the criteria for recognition apart from tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill is primarily attributable to expansion of product offerings in the optical fiber market. Our tax basis in the acquired goodwill is zero. The intangible assets related to the acquisition consisted of the following:

|  | Fair Value |  | Amortization Period
|  | (In thousands) |  | (In years)
Intangible assets subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Developed technologies |  | $ | 3,400 |  |  | 5.0
Customer relationships |  | 22,800 |  |  | 15.0
Sales backlog |  | 1,300 |  |  | 0.5
Trademarks |  | 500 |  |  | 2.0
Total intangible assets subject to amortization |  | $ | 28,000 |  |  |
Intangible assets not subject to amortization: |  |  |  |
Goodwill |  | $ | 35,012 |  |  | n/a
Total intangible assets not subject to amortization |  | $ | 35,012 |  |  |
Total intangible assets |  | $ | 63,012 |  |  |
Weighted average amortization period |  |  |  | 12.9

The amortizable intangible assets reflected in the table above were determined by us to have finite lives. The useful life for the developed technology intangible asset was based on the estimated time that the technology provides us with a competitive advantage and thus approximates the period and pattern of consumption of the intangible asset. The useful life for the customer relationship intangible asset was based on our forecasts of estimated sales from recurring customers. The useful life of the backlog intangible asset was based on our estimate of when the ordered items would ship and control of the items transfers. The useful life for the trademarks was based on the period of time we expect to continue to go to market using the trademarks.
The following table illustrates the unaudited pro forma effect on operating results as if the Opterna acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2018.

|  | Three Months Ended
|  | March 31, 2019
|  | (In thousands, except per share data)

The above unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been had we completed the acquisition on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. Pro forma adjustments exclude cost savings from any synergies resulting from the acquisition.
FutureLink
We acquired the FutureLink product line and related assets from Suttle, Inc. on April 5, 2019 for a purchase price of $5.0 million, which was funded with cash on hand. The acquisition of FutureLink allows us to offer a more complete set of fiber product offerings. The results from the acquisition of FutureLink have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from April 5, 2019, and are reported within the Enterprise Solutions segment. The acquisition of FutureLink was not material to our financial position or results of operations.
Note 4: Discontinued Operations
We classify assets and liabilities as held for sale (disposal group) when management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group, the sale is probable within one year, and the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. We also consider whether an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, whether the disposal group is marketed actively for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and whether actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, we committed to a plan to sell Grass Valley, and at such time, met all of the criteria to classify the assets and liabilities of this business as held for sale. Furthermore, we determined a divestiture of Grass Valley represents a strategic shift that is expected to have a major impact on our operations and financial results. As a result, the Grass Valley disposal group, which was included in our Enterprise Solutions segment, is reported within discontinued operations. The Grass Valley disposal group excludes certain Grass Valley pension liabilities that we expect to retain. We also ceased depreciating and amortizing the assets of the disposal group once they met the held for sale criteria during the fourth quarter of 2019. We intend to complete the sale of the Grass Valley disposal group during 2020.
We wrote down the carrying value of Grass Valley and recognized asset impairments totaling $23.2 million in the three months e nded March 29, 2020. We determined the estimated fair values of the assets and of the reporting unit by calculating the present values of their estimated future cash flows.
The following table summarizes the operating results of the disposal group for the three months ended ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019:

The disposal group also had capital expenditures of approximately $7.9 million a nd $5.8 m illion during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Furthermore, the disposal group incurred stock-based compensation expense (income) of ($0.9 million) and $0.3 million during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The disposal group did not have any significant non-cash charges for investing activities during the three months ended March 29, 2020 or March 31, 2019.
The following table provides the major classes of assets and liabilities of the disposal group as of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

The disposal group also had $30.3 million and $42.3 million of accumulated other comprehensive losses as of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Note 5: Reportable Segments
We are organized around two global business platforms: Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Solutions. Each of the global business platforms represents a reportable segment.
Effective January 1, 2020, we transferred our West Penn Wire business and multi-conductor product lines from the Enterprise Solutions segment to the Industrial Solutions segment as a result of a shift in responsibilities among the segments. We have recast the prior period segment information to conform to the change in the composition of reportable segments.
The key measures of segment profit or loss are Segment Revenues and Segment EBITDA. Segment Revenues represent non-affiliate revenues and include revenues that would have otherwise been recorded by acquired businesses as independent entities but were not recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income due to the effects of purchase accounting and the associated write-down of acquired deferred revenue to fair value. Segment EBITDA excludes certain items, including depreciation expense; amortization of intangibles; asset impairment; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, such as the adjustment of acquired

inventory and deferred revenue to fair value; and other costs. We allocate corporate expenses to the segments for purposes of measuring Segment EBITDA. Corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of each segment’s relative EBITDA prior to the allocation.
Our measure of segment assets does not include cash, goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets, or corporate assets. All goodwill is allocated to reporting units of our segments for purposes of impairment testing.

In addition, for the three months ended March 29, 2020, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 0.3 million because the related performance conditions have not been satisfied.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude outstanding equity awards of 1.0 million which are anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include outstanding equity awards of 0.3 million because the related performance conditions have not been satisfied. Furthermore, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, diluted weighted average shares outstanding do not include the impact of preferred shares that were converted into 6.9 million common shares, because deducting the preferred stock dividends from net income was more dilutive.
For purposes of calculating basic earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are not included in the calculation of basic weighted average shares outstanding until all necessary conditions have been satisfied and issuance of the shares underlying the restricted stock units is no longer contingent. Necessary conditions are not satisfied until the vesting date, at which time holders of our restricted stock units receive shares of our common stock.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, unvested restricted stock units are included to the extent that they are dilutive. In determining whether unvested restricted stock units are dilutive, each issuance of restricted stock units is considered separately.
Once a restricted stock unit has vested, it is included in the calculation of both basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Note 7: Credit Losses
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments prospectively. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss impairment model for financial instruments, including trade receivables. The amendment requires entities to consider forward-looking information to estimate expected credit losses, resulting in earlier recognition of losses for receivables that are current or not yet due, which were not considered under the previous accounting guidance. Upon adoption, we recorded a noncash cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $2.9 million. Of this amount, $1.0 million related to our continuing operations and $1.9 million related to our discontinued operations.
-14-

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Our expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. Our monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible.
Estimates are used to determine the allowance, which is based on an assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available. The allowance for doubtful accounts for our continuing operations was $3.5 million and $2.6 million as of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. There were no material adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts during the three months ended March 29, 2020 other than the transition adjustment from adopting ASU 2016-13.

Note 9: Leases
We have operating and finance leases for properties, including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office space; as well as vehicles and certain equipment. We make certain judgments in determining whether a contract contains a lease in accordance with ASU 2016-02. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 16 years, some of which include options to extend the lease for a period of up to 15 years and some include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. We do not assume renewals in our determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to be reasonably certain as of the commencement date of the lease. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material variable lease payments.
We have entered into various short-term operating leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are not recorded on our balance sheet, and for the three months ended March 29, 2020, the rent expense for short-term leases was not material.
We have certain property and equipment lease contracts that may contain lease and non-lease components, and we have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for these components together as a single combined lease component.
As the rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable, we use the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments, which is unique to each leased asset, and is based upon the term of the lease, commencement date of the lease, local currency of the leased asset, and the credit rating of the legal entity leasing the asset.

Note 10: Long-Lived Assets
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
We recognized depreciation expense of $10.3 million and $10.1 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
We recognized amortization expense related to our intangible assets of $16.5 million and $18.2 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
Interim Impairment Test
Due to equity market conditions during the three months ended March 29, 2020, we conducted an interim impairment test. We determined that the carrying values of our definite-lived assets were recoverable; therefore, we did not record any impairment charges related to these assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, and we conducted an interim impairment test for all of our reporting units. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business unit one level below an operating segment if discrete financial information for that business is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. However, components within an operating segment are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. We determined that each of our reportable segments (Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Solutions) represents an operating segment. Within those operating segments, we have identified reporting units based on whether there is discrete financial information prepared that is regularly reviewed by segment management.
When we evaluate goodwill for impairment using a quantitative assessment, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. We determine the fair value using an income approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using growth rates and discount rates that are consistent with current market conditions in our industry. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets including goodwill assigned to that unit, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets including goodwill exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we record an impairment charge based on that difference. In addition to the income approach, we calculate the fair value of our reporting units under a market approach. The market approach measures the fair value of a reporting unit through analysis of financial multiples of comparable businesses. Consideration is given to the financial conditions and operating performance of the reporting unit being valued relative to those publicly-traded companies operating in the same or similar lines of business. Significant judgment is required when applying the market approach as there is a range of financial multiples of comparable businesses.
-17-

Based on our interim goodwill impairment test, we determined that the fair values of the reporting units were in excess of the carrying values; therefore, we did not record any goodwill impairment. The excess of the fair values over the carrying values of our reporting units ranged from 2% - 269%. The significant assumptions used to estimate fair values included sales growth, profitability, and related cash flows, along with cash flows associated with taxes and capital spending. The discount rate used to estimate fair value was risk adjusted in consideration of the economic conditions in effect at the time of the impairment test. We also considered assumptions that market participants may use. In our quantitative assessments, the discount rates ranged from 9.0% to 17.0%, the 2020 to 2029 compounded annual revenue growth rates ranged from 2.0% to 8.0%, and the long-term revenue growth rates ranged from 2.0% to 3.0%. By their nature, these assumptions involve risks and uncertainties. Furthermore, uncertainties associated with current market conditions increase the inherent risk associated with using an income approach to estimate fair values. While we have adjusted our key assumptions to reflect the current economic conditions, we have also assumed that economic conditions will improve beyond 2020. If current conditions persist and actual results are different from our estimates or assumptions, we may have to recognize an impairment charge that could be material.
We also tested our indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist primarily of trademarks, for impairment during the quarter ended March 29, 2020. We performed a quantitative assessment for each of our indefinite-lived trademarks using a relief from royalty methodology and compared the fair value to the carrying value. We determined that none of our trademarks were impaired as of March 29, 2020. Significant assumptions to determine fair value included sales growth, royalty rates, and discount rates.
Note 11: Severance, Restructuring, and Acquisition Integration Activities
Cost Reduction Program: 2019
During the fourth quarter of 2019, we began a cost reduction program to improve performance and enhance margins by streamlining the organizational structure and investing in technology to drive productivity. We recognized an immaterial amount associated with this program during the three months ended March 29, 2020. The cost reduction program is expected to deliver an estimated $60.0 million reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses on an annual basis, of which $40.0 million is expected to be realized in 2020, with the full benefit materializing in 2021. We expect to incur incremental costs of approximately $20.0 million of costs for this program in 2020.
SPC, Opterna and FutureLink Integration Program: 2019
In 2019, we began a restructuring program to integrate SPC, Opterna and FutureLink with our existing businesses. The restructuring and integration activities were focused on achieving desired cost savings by consolidating existing and acquired facilities and other support functions. We recognized $2.2 million of severance and other restructuring costs for this program during the three months ended March 29, 2020. These costs were incurred by the Enterprise Solutions segment. We expect to incur incremental costs of approximately $2.5 million for this program in 2020.
The following table summarizes the costs by segment of the programs described above as well as other immaterial programs and acquisition integration activities during the three months ended March 29, 2020:

|  | Severance |  | Other Restructuring and Integration Costs |  | Total Costs
Three Months Ended March 29, 2020 |  | (In thousands) |  |  |  |
Enterprise Solutions |  | $ | (632) |  |  | $ | 3,182 |  |  | $ | 2,550 |

Total |  | $ | (1,587) |  |  | $ | 5,206 |  |  | $ | 3,619 |

The severance costs incurred during the three months ended March 29, 2020 were offset by adjustments made during the quarter for changes in estimates primarily stemming from voluntary turnover. The other restructuring and integration costs primarily consisted of equipment transfer, costs to consolidate operating and support facilities, retention bonuses, relocation, travel, legal, and other costs. The majority of the other restructuring and integration costs related to these actions were paid as incurred or are payable within the next 60 days.
There were no material severance and restructuring costs incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Revolving Credit Agreement due 2022
Our Revolving Credit Agreement provides a $400.0 million multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility (the Revolver). The borrowing base under the Revolver includes eligible accounts receivable; inventory; and property, plant and equipment of certain of our subsidiaries in the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands. The maturity date of the Revolver is May 16, 2022. Interest on outstanding borrowings is variable, based upon LIBOR or other similar indices in foreign jurisdictions, plus a spread that ranges from 1.25%-1.75%, depending upon our leverage position. We pay a commitment fee on our available borrowing capacity of 0.25%. In the event we borrow more than 90% of our borrowing base, we are subject to a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant.
-19-

As of March 29, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding on the Revolver, and our available borrowing capacity was $303.4 million, but at the beginning of the second quarter, we borrowed $190.0 million under our Revolver out of an abundance of caution due to the uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. See Note 19.

Note 13: Net Investment Hedge
All of our euro denominated notes were issued by Belden Inc., a USD functional currency entity. As of March 29, 2020, €767.8 million of our outstanding foreign denominated debt is designated as a net investment hedge on the foreign currency risk of our net investment in our euro foreign operations. The objective of the hedge is to protect the net investment in the foreign operation against adverse changes in the euro exchange rate. The transaction gain or loss is reported in the translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the transaction gain associated with the net investment hedge that was reported in other comprehensive income was $54.7 million and $23.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we de-designated €532.2 million of our outstanding debt that was previously designated as a net investment hedge. After the de-designation, transaction gains or losses associated with this €532.2 million of debt are reported in income from continuing operations.
Note 14: Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 29, 2020, we recognized income tax expense of $2.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 12.8%. The effective tax rate was impacted by a $1.1 million income tax benefit for certain foreign tax credits.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in the United States. We are still analyzing the provisions of the CARES Act to determine if there will be any impact to our income tax provision for the year.
-20-

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized income tax expense of $6.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 18.1%. The effective tax rate was impacted by an $0.8 million income tax benefit resulting from a change in our valuation allowance on foreign tax credits due to the restructuring of certain foreign operations.

Note 17: Preferred Stock
In 2016, we issued 5.2 million depositary shares, each of which represents 1/100th interest in a share of 6.75% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock), for an offering price of $100 per depositary share. We received approximately $501 million of net proceeds from this offering, which were used for general corporate purposes. On July 15, 2019, all outstanding Preferred Stock was automatically converted into shares of Belden common stock at the conversion rate of 132.50, resulting in the issuance of approximately 6.9 million shares of Belden common stock. Upon conversion, the Preferred Stock was automatically extinguished and discharged, is no longer deemed outstanding for all purposes, and delisted from trading on the New York Stock Exchange. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, dividends on the Preferred Stock were $8.7 million.
Note 18: Share Repurchase
On November 29, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allows us to purchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock through open market repurchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. This program is funded with cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities. During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate cost of $21.2 million and an average price per share of $35.85.
Note 19: Subsequent Events
Due to the uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, out of an abundance of caution, at the beginning of the second quarter we borrowed $190.0 million under our Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides a $400.0 million multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility. The maturity date of the Revolver is May 16, 2022. Interest on outstanding borrowings is variable, based upon LIBOR or other similar indices in foreign jurisdictions, plus a spread that ranges from 1.25%-1.75%, depending upon our leverage position. See Note 12.
During 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allows us to purchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock through open market repurchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. This program is funded with cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities. During the fiscal second quarter, we repurchased 0.4 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate cost of $13.8 million and an average price per share of $35.80.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Belden Inc. (the Company, us, we, or our) is a global supplier of specialty networking solutions built around two global business platforms - Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Solutions. Our comprehensive portfolio of solutions enables customers to transmit and secure data, sound, and video for mission critical applications across complex enterprise and industrial environments.
We strive for operational excellence through the execution of our Belden Business System, which includes three areas of focus: Lean enterprise initiatives, our Market Delivery System, and our Talent Management System. Through operational excellence we generate free cash flow on an annual basis. We utilize the cash flow generated by our business to fuel our continued transformation and generate shareholder value. We believe our business system, balance across markets and geographies, systematic go-to-market approach, extensive portfolio of innovative solutions, commitment to Lean principles, and improving margins present a unique value proposition for shareholders.
We use a set of tools and processes that are designed to continuously improve business performance in the critical areas of quality, delivery, cost, and innovation. We consider revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flows, and return on invested capital to be our key operating performance indicators. We also seek to acquire businesses that we believe can help us achieve these objectives.
Trends and Events
The following trends and events during 2020 have had varying effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Global Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted and will continue to result in significant economic disruption and has affected and will adversely affect our business in the future. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience reductions in customer demand in several of our end-markets. We expect that the social distancing measures, the reduced operational status of some of our suppliers and reductions in production at certain facilities will more meaningfully impact our operations in the second quarter, and general business uncertainty will continue to negatively impact demand in several of our end-markets in the second quarter, and possibly beyond.
Our foremost focus has been on the health and safety of our employees and customers. In response to the outbreak, we have modified practices at our manufacturing locations and offices to adhere to guidance from the WHO, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other local health and governmental authorities with respect to social distancing, physical separation, personal protective equipment and sanitization. We are approaching our response to this outbreak with a recognition that we provide essential and important products and services upon which our customers rely upon daily to support critical functions. Therefore, most of our U.S. and global facilities have remained substantially operational during the outbreak while implementing enhanced safety protocols designed to protect the well-being of our employees. Operations at the facilities in countries with broad-based mandated shutdowns (e.g., India and Brazil) were suspended for a portion of the first quarter.
The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, its impact on our customers and suppliers and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time. Unlike typical seasonal patterns in our business, we expect revenues to be down in the second quarter compared to the first quarter 2020. We will continue to proactively respond to the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by governmental authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees and customers.
Foreign currency
Our exposure to currency rate fluctuations primarily relates to exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the euro, Canadian dollar, Hong Kong dollar, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Australian dollar, British pound, Indian rupee, and Brazilian real. Generally, as the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are negatively impacted as our foreign denominated revenues and earnings are translated into U.S. dollars at a lower rate. Conversely, as the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, our revenues and earnings are positively impacted.
-23-

During the three months ended March 29, 2020, approximately 45% of our consolidated revenues were to customers outside of the U.S.
In addition to the translation impact described above, currency rate fluctuations have an economic impact on our financial results. As the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against foreign currencies, it results in a relative price increase or decrease for certain of our products that are priced in U.S. dollars in a foreign location.
Commodity prices
Our operating results can be affected by changes in prices of commodities, primarily copper and compounds, which are components in some of the products we sell. Generally, as the costs of inventory purchases increase due to higher commodity prices, we raise selling prices to customers to cover the increase in costs, resulting in higher sales revenue but a lower gross profit percentage. Conversely, a decrease in commodity prices would result in lower sales revenue but a higher gross profit percentage. Selling prices of our products are affected by many factors, including end market demand, capacity utilization, overall economic conditions, and commodity prices. Importantly, however, there is no exact measure of the effect of changing commodity prices, as there are thousands of transactions in any given quarter, each of which has various factors involved in the individual pricing decisions. Therefore, all references to the effect of copper prices or other commodity prices are estimates.
Channel Inventory
Our operating results also can be affected by the levels of Belden products purchased and held as inventory by our channel partners and customers. Our channel partners and customers purchase and hold the products they bought from us in their inventory in order to meet the service and on-time delivery requirements of their customers. Generally, as our channel partners and customers change the level of products they buy from us and hold in their inventory, it impacts our revenues. Comparisons of our results between periods can be impacted by changes in the levels of channel inventory. We use information provided to us by our channel partners and make certain assumptions based on our sales to them to determine the amount of products they bought from us and hold in their inventory. As such, all references to the effect of channel inventory changes are estimates.
Market Growth and Market Share
The markets in which we operate can generally be characterized as highly competitive and highly fragmented, with many players. We monitor available data regarding market growth, including independent market research reports, publicly available indices, and the financial results of our direct and indirect peer companies, in order to estimate the extent to which our served markets grew or contracted during a particular period. We expect that our unit sales volume will increase or decrease consistently with the market growth rate. Our strategic goal is to utilize our Market Delivery System to target faster growing geographies, applications, and trends within our end markets, in order to achieve growth that is higher than the general market growth rate. To the extent that we exceed the market growth rates, we consider it to be the result of capturing market share.
Earnout Consideration Payment
During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we paid the sellers of Snell Advanced Media (SAM) the full earnout consideration of $31.4 million in cash as per the purchase agreement. SAM was acquired on February 8, 2018 and is included in the Grass Valley disposal group. See Note 1.
Discontinued Operations Treatment of the Grass Valley Disposal Group and Impairment Charge
During the fourth quarter of 2019, we committed to a plan to sell Grass Valley, and at such time, met all of the criteria to classify the assets and liabilities of this business as held for sale. Furthermore, we determined a divestiture of Grass Valley represents a strategic shift that is expected to have a major impact on our operations and financial results. As a result, the Grass Valley disposal group, which was included in our Enterprise Solutions segment, is now reported within discontinued operations. As such, comparable prior period information has been recast to exclude the Grass Valley disposal group from continuing operations, with the exception of the Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statements. The Grass Valley disposal group excludes certain Grass Valley pension plans that we will retain. During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we wrote down the carrying value of the disposal group and recognized asset impairments totaling $23.2 million. See Note 4.
Segment Transfer
Effective January 1, 2020, we transferred our West Penn Wire business and multi-conductor product lines from the Enterprise Solutions segment to the Industrial Solutions segment as a result of a shift in responsibilities among the segments. We have recast the prior period segment information to conform to the change in the composition of reportable segments. See Note 5.
-24-

Cost Reduction Program
During the fourth quarter of 2019, we began a cost reduction program to improve performance and enhance margins by streamlining the organizational structure and investing in technology to drive productivity. We recognized an immaterial amount associated with this program during the three months ended March 29, 2020. The cost reduction program is expected to deliver an estimated $60.0 million reduction in selling, general, and administrative expenses on an annual basis, of which $40.0 million is expected to be realized in 2020, with the full benefit materializing in 2021. We expect to incur incremental costs of approximately $20.0 million for this program in 2020. See Note 11.
SPC, Opterna and FutureLink Integration Program
In 2019, we began a restructuring program to integrate SPC, Opterna and FutureLink with our existing businesses. The restructuring and integration activities are focused on achieving desired cost savings by consolidating existing and acquired facilities and other support functions. We recognized $2.2 million of severance and other restructuring costs for this program during the three months ended March 29, 2020. These costs were incurred by the Enterprise Solutions segment. We expect to incur incremental costs of approximately $2.5 million for this program in 2020. See Note 11.
Share Repurchase Program
In 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allows us to purchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock through open market repurchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. This program is funded with cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities. The program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended at any time at the discretion of the Company. During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate cost of $21.2 million and an average price per share of $35.85. See Note 18.
Subsequent Events
During the fiscal second quarter, we repurchased 0.4 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate cost of $13.8 million and an average price per share of $35.80. Year-to-date, we have repurchased 1.0 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate cost of $35.0 million and an average price per share of $35.83. See Notes 18 and 19.
Due to the uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, out of an abundance of caution, at the beginning of the second quarter we borrowed $190.0 million under our Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides a $400.0 million multi-currency asset-based revolving credit facility. The maturity date of the Revolver is May 16, 2022. Interest on outstanding borrowings is variable, based upon LIBOR or other similar indices in foreign jurisdictions, plus a spread that ranges from 1.25%-1.75%, depending upon our leverage position. See Notes 12 and 19.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows that are or would be considered material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
During the three months ended March 29, 2020:
•We did not change any of our existing critical accounting policies from those listed in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than updating our accounting policies for the adoption of ASU 2016-13;
•No existing accounting policies became critical accounting policies because of an increase in the materiality of associated transactions or changes in the circumstances to which associated judgments and estimates relate; and
•There were no significant changes in the manner in which critical accounting policies were applied or in which related judgments and estimates were developed.

Research and development expenses | (26,219) |  |  | (23,247) |  |  | 12.8 | %
Amortization of intangibles | (16,185) |  |  | (18,164) |  |  | (10.9) | %
Operating income | 29,708 |  |  | 47,490 |  |  | (37.4) | %
Interest expense, net | (13,324) |  |  | (13,988) |  |  | (4.7) | %

Income from continuing operations before taxes | 17,083 |  |  | 34,105 |  |  | (49.9) | %

Revenues decreased $36.6 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 due to the following factor s:
•Lower sales volume due in part to changes in channel inventory levels resulted in a $45.4 million decrease in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
•Copper prices had a $4.4 million unfavorable impact on revenues in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
•Currency translation had a $3.8 million unfavorable impact on revenues in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
•Acquisitions contributed an estimated $17.0 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
Gross profit decreased $16.4 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 due to the decreases in revenues discussed above as well as unfavorable mix; partially offset by the impact of acquisitions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019. Acquisitions and increases in restructuring costs each contributed $3.6 million to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses over the year ago period. These increases were partially offset by the benefits realized from our Cost Reduction Program, productivity improvement initiatives, and currency translations, which contributed to a decline in selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $5.0 million, $1.3 million, and $0.5 million, respectively, as compared to the year ago period.
Research and development expenses increased $3.0 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 primarily due to increased investments in R&D projects as well as acquisitions.
Amortization of intangibles decreased $2.0 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized.
Operating income decreased $17.8 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 primarily as a result of the $16.4 million decline in gross profit discussed above.
Net interest expense remained relatively flat year-over-year, with a decrease of $0.7 million, or 4.7%, in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 primarily as a result of currency translation.
Income from continuing operations before taxes decreased $17.0 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 primarily due to the decline in operating income discussed above.

Income Taxes

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  |
| March 29, 2020 |  | March 31, 2019 |  | % Change
| (In thousands, except percentages) |  |  |  |
Income before taxes | $ | 17,083 |  |  | $ | 34,105 |  |  | (49.9) | %
Income tax expense | 2,192 |  |  | 6,170 |  |  | (64.5) | %
Effective tax rate | 12.8 | % |  | 18.1 | % |  |

For the three months ended March 29, 2020, we recognized income tax expense of $2.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 12.8%, which was impacted by a $1.1 million income tax benefit for certain foreign tax credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized income tax expense of $6.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 18.1%, which was impacted by an $0.8 million income tax benefit resulting from a change in our valuation allowance on foreign tax credits due to the restructuring of certain foreign operations.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in the United States. We are still analyzing the provisions of the CARES Act to determine if there will be any impact to our income tax provision for the year.
Consolidated Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  |
| March 29, 2020 |  | March 31, 2019 |  | % Change
| (In thousands, except percentages) |  |  |  |
Adjusted Revenues | $ | 463,526 |  |  | $ | 500,140 |  |  | (7.3) | %
Adjusted EBITDA | 60,843 |  |  | 76,419 |  |  | (20.4) | %
as a percent of adjusted revenues | 13.1 | % |  | 15.3 | % |  |

Adjusted revenues decreased $36.6 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable periods of 2019 due to the following factor s:
•Lower sales volume due in part to changes in channel inventory levels resulted in a $45.4 million decrease in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
•Copper prices had a $4.4 million unfavorable impact on revenues in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
•Currency translation had a $3.8 million unfavorable impact on revenues in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
•Acquisitions contributed an estimated $17.0 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $15.6 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 primarily as a result of the decrease in Adjusted Revenues discussed above.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we provide non-GAAP operating results adjusted for certain items, including: asset impairments; accelerated depreciation expense due to plant consolidation activities; purchase accounting effects related to acquisitions, such as the adjustment of acquired inventory and deferred revenue to fair value, and transaction costs; severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs; gains (losses) recognized on the disposal of businesses and tangible assets; amortization of intangible assets; gains (losses) on debt extinguishment; certain revenues and gains (losses) from patent settlements; discontinued operations; and other costs. We adjust for the items listed above in all periods presented, unless the impact is clearly immaterial to our financial statements. When we calculate the tax effect of the adjustments, we include all current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the adjusted measure of pre-tax profitability.
We utilize the adjusted results to review our ongoing operations without the effect of these adjustments and for comparison to budgeted operating results. We believe the adjusted results are useful to investors because they help them compare our results to previous periods and provide important insights into underlying trends in the business and how management oversees our business operations on a day-to-day basis. As an example, we adjust for the purchase accounting effect of recording deferred revenue at fair value in order to reflect the revenues that would have otherwise been recorded by acquired businesses had they
-27-

remained as independent entities. We believe this presentation is useful in evaluating the underlying performance of acquired companies. Similarly, we adjust for other acquisition-related expenses, such as amortization of intangibles and other impacts of fair value adjustments because they generally are not related to the acquired business' core business performance. As an additional example, we exclude the costs of restructuring programs, which can occur from time to time for our current businesses and/or recently acquired businesses. We exclude the costs in calculating adjusted results to allow us and investors to evaluate the performance of the business based upon its expected ongoing operating structure. We believe the adjusted measures, accompanied by the disclosure of the costs of these programs, provides valuable insight.
Adjusted results should be considered only in conjunction with results reported according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The following tables reconcile our GAAP results to our non-GAAP financial measures:

| Three Months Ended |  |
| March 29, 2020 |  | March 31, 2019

Segment Results of Operations
For additional information regarding our segment measures, see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Enterprise Solutions

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  |
| March 29, 2020 |  | March 31, 2019 |  | % Change
| (In thousands, except percentages) |  |  |  |
Segment Revenues | $ | 212,213 |  |  | $ | 207,083 |  |  | 2.5 | %
Segment EBITDA | 24,712 |  |  | 21,635 |  |  | 14.2 | %
as a percent of segment revenues | 11.6 | % |  | 10.4 | % |  |

Enterprise Solutions revenues increased $5.1 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 due to acquisitions, which attributed a $17.0 million increase in revenues. This increase was partially offset by a decline in volume, lower copper prices, and unfavorable currency translation, which contributed an estimated $9.1 million, $2.0 million, and $0.8 million to the decline in revenues, respectively. The decrease in volume was due in part to declines in the levels of inventory at our channel partners.
Enterprise Solutions EBITDA increased $3.1 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 compared to the year ago period primarily as a result of the increase in revenues discussed above as well as improved productivity.

Industrial Solutions

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  |
| March 29, 2020 |  | March 31, 2019 |  | % Change
| (In thousands, except percentages) |  |  |  |
Segment Revenues | $ | 251,313 |  |  | $ | 293,057 |  |  | (14.2) | %

as a percent of segment revenues | 14.1 | % |  | 18.7 | % |  |

Industrial Solutions revenues decreased $41.7 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019. The decrease in revenues in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 was primarily due to decreases in volume, unfavorable currency translation, and lower copper prices, which had an estimated impact of $36.3 million, $3.0 million, and $2.4 million, respectively. The decrease in volume was due in part to declines in the levels of inventory at our channel partners.
Industrial Solutions EBITDA decreased $19.1 million in the three months ended March 29, 2020 from the comparable period of 2019 primarily as a result of the changes in revenues discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Significant factors affecting our cash liquidity include (1) cash from operating activities, (2) disposals of businesses and tangible assets, (3) cash used for acquisitions, restructuring actions, capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, and senior subordinated note repurchases, and (4) our available credit facilities and other borrowing arrangements. We expect our operating activities to generate cash in 2020 and believe our sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund current working capital requirements, capital expenditures, contributions to our retirement plans, share repurchases, senior subordinated note repurchases, quarterly dividend payments, and our short-term operating strategies. However, we may require external financing in the event we complete a significant acquisition. Our ability to continue to fund our future needs from business operations could be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to: economic conditions worldwide, customer demand, competitive market forces, customer acceptance of our product mix, and commodities pricing.
The following table is derived from our Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Statements:

| Three Months Ended |  |
| March 29, 2020 |  | March 31, 2019
| (In thousands) |  |
Net cash used for: |  |  |
Operating activities | $ | (52,052) |  |  | $ | (46,060) |
Investing activities | (18,255) |  |  | (23,585) |
Financing activities | (53,896) |  |  | (12,735) |
Effects of currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (7,947) |  |  | 752 |
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents | (132,150) |  |  | (81,628) |
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period | 425,885 |  |  | 420,610 |
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period | $ | 293,735 |  |  | $ | 338,982 |

Operating cash flows were a use of cash of $52.1 million and $46.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating cash flows declined $6.0 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the decrease in income. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were a use of cash in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, primarily as a result of the decline in accounts payable and accrued liabilities stemming from rebate payments to channel partners as well as incentive compensation to employees during the first quarter. Inventories were a use of cash of $29.1 million in the first quarter of 2020 due in part to lower demand.
-29-

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $18.3 million in 2020, compared to $23.6 million for the comparable period of 2019. Investing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2020 included capital expenditures of $20.9 million compared to $23.6 million in the comparable period of 2019. The three months ended March 29, 2020 also included $2.1 million of proceeds from the sale of tangible property and the receipt of $0.6 million related to a working capital adjustment for the acquisition of SPC.
Net cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2020 totaled $53.9 million, compared to $12.7 million for the comparable period of 2019. Financing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2020 included a payment of earnout consideration of which $29.3 million is classified as a financing activity, payments under our share repurchase program of $21.2 million, cash dividend payments of $2.3 million, and net payments related to share based compensation activities of $1.0 million. Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included cash dividend payments of $10.7 million and net payments related to share based compensation activities of $1.9 million.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance, including discontinued operations, was $293.7 million as of March 29, 2020. Of this amount, $205.2 million was held outside of the U.S. in our foreign operations. Substantially all of the foreign cash and cash equivalents are readily convertible into U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for any withholding taxes has been recorded. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to withholding taxes payable to the respective foreign countries.
Our outstanding debt obligations as of March 29, 2020 consisted of $1,404.7 million of senior subordinated notes. Additional discussion regarding our various borrowing arrangements is included in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 29, 2020, we had no borrowings and $303.4 million in available borrowing capacity under our Revolver. At the beginning of the second quarter, we borrowed $190.0 million under our Revolver out of an abundance of caution due to the uncertainties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. See Notes 12 and 19.

Item 7A of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K provides information as to the practices and instruments that we use to manage market risks. There were no material changes in our exposure to market risks since December 31, 2019, and our debt is entirely fixed at an average interest rate of 3.5% with no maturities until 2025 to 2028. We have no maintenance covenants on our outstanding debt. Our only covenant is an incurrence covenant, which limits our ability to take on additional debt if EBITDA drops below a certain threshold.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
SEC Investigation - As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 3, 2018, we are fully cooperating with an SEC investigation related to the material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K. We continue to believe that the outcome of the investigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
We are a party to various other legal proceedings and administrative actions that are incidental to our operations. In our opinion, the proceedings and actions in which we are involved should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, or cash flows. However, since the trends and outcome of this litigation are inherently uncertain, we cannot give absolute assurance regarding the future resolution of such litigation, or that such litigation may not become material in the future.
Item 1A: Risk Factors
In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly those disclosed in Part I, Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, see “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors except as set forth below:
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have materially affected how we and our customers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was first reported and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The widespread health crisis is adversely affecting the broader economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for many of our products.
Our operations and the operations of our suppliers, channel partners and customers have been disrupted to varying degrees by a range of external factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of which are not within our control. Many governments have imposed, and may yet impose, a wide range of restrictions on the physical movement of people in order to limit the spread of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, a substantial impact on the attendance and productivity of our employees, and those of our channel partners or customers, resulting in negative impacts to our results of operations and overall financial performance. Additionally, COVID-19 has resulted, and likely will continue to result, in delays in non-residential construction, non-crisis-related IT purchases and project completion schedules in general, all of which can negatively impact our results in both current and future periods.
The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of the virus, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the effects of measures enacted by policy makers and central banks around the globe, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers, channel partners and suppliers. If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business will continue to be affected.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, it may also heighten many of the other risks described in this section and in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(1) In November 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, which allows us to purchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock through open market repurchases, negotiated transactions, or other means, in accordance with applicable security laws and other regulations. This program is funded with cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities.
During the three months ended March 29, 2020, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program for an aggregate cost of $21.2 million and an average price per share of $35.85.
