EXTREME NETWORKS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Extreme Networks, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Extreme” or the “Company”), is a leader in providing software-driven networking solutions for enterprise customers. The Company conducts its sales and marketing activities on a worldwide basis through distributors, resellers and the Company’s field sales organization. Extreme was incorporated in California in 1996 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Extreme included herein have been prepared under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted under such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented and the financial condition of Extreme at September 30, 2019. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for fiscal 2020 or any future periods.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a fiscal calendar year ending on June 30. All references herein to “fiscal 2020” or “2020” represent the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. All references herein to “fiscal 2019” or “2019” represent the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Extreme and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company predominantly uses the United States Dollar as its functional currency. The functional currency for certain of its foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. For those subsidiaries that operate in a local functional currency environment, all assets and liabilities are translated to United States Dollars at current month end rates of exchange; and revenue and expenses are translated using the monthly average rate.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

For a description of significant accounting policies, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires the identification of arrangements that should be accounted for as leases by lessees and lessors, and key disclosure information about leasing arrangements. In general, for lease arrangements exceeding a twelve-month term, these arrangements is recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under Topic 842, a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and lease obligation are recorded for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the statement of operations will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of Topic 842 is calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. Topic 842 also required lessors to classify leases as a sales-type, direct financing or operating lease. A lease is a sales-type lease if any one of five criteria are met, each of which indicate that the lease, in effect, transfers control of the underlying asset to the lessee. If none of those five criteria are met, but two additional criteria are both met, indicating that the lessor has transferred substantially all of the risks and benefits to the lessee and a third party, the lease is a direct financing lease. All leases that are not sales-type or direct financing leases are operating leases. Substantially all of the Company’s leases continue to be classified as operating leases. In addition, Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No 2018-10, Codification Improvements; ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements; ASU 2018-20 Narrow Scope Improvements; and ASU 2019-01 Codification Improvements.

The Company adopted the new standards beginning with its fiscal year 2020. Topic 842 is applied on the modified retrospective method, applying the new standard to all leases existing as of July 1, 2019. The Company adopted the new standard using the effective date of July 1, 2019 as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information has not been updated, and disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods prior to July 1, 2019.

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” which permitted the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The new standard also provided practical expedients for ongoing accounting. The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualified. For those leases that qualified, existing short-term leases at the transition date and those entered into subsequent to the transition date, the Company did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for leases except for the logistic services asset class and certain revenue subscription contracts where the Company leases its hardware products and is deemed to be a lessor. See Note 9, Leases, for additional information regarding the Company’s leases.

The Company recognized ROU assets of approximately $64.6 million and corresponding lease liabilities of $79.5 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which was based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. See Note 9 – Leases.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which is intended to allow companies to better align risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results by expanding and refining hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and aligning the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. In addition, in October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which amends Topic 815 to add the overnight index swap (OIS) rate based on the secured overnight financing rate as a fifth U.S. benchmark interest rate. In addition, Topic 815 was subsequently amended by ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements. These standards are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year 2020. It did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), this standard that allows the reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform Act"). The amount of the reclassification is the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the gross deferred tax amounts and related valuation allowances related to items remaining in AOCI. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new standard is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effects of the change in the income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act are recognized. The standard was adopted on July 1, 2019 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. It replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model. It also requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recognized as an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction to the carrying value of the securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company currently plans to adopt this standard beginning with its fiscal year 2022, beginning on July 1, 2021.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350), which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An impairment charge will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company currently plans to adopt this standard beginning with its fiscal year 2021, beginning on July 1, 2020.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which removes, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements around the topic in order to clarify and improve the cost-benefit nature of disclosures. For example, disclosures around transfers between fair value hierarchy levels will be removed and further detail around changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs determining Level 3 fair value measurements will be added. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year 2021, beginning on July 1, 2020.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a service contract hosting arrangement with those of developing or obtaining internal-use software. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal year 2021, beginning on July 1, 2020.

3. | Revenues

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (Topic 606), which the Company adopted on July 1, 2017, using the retrospective method. The Company derives the majority of its revenue from sales of its networking equipment, with the remaining revenue generated from software delivered as a service (“SaaS”) and service fees primarily relating to maintenance contracts with additional revenues from professional services, and training for its products. The Company sells its products and maintenance contracts direct to customers and to partners in two distribution channels, or tiers. The first tier consists of a limited number of independent distributors that stock its products and sell primarily to resellers. The second tier of the distribution channel consists of non-stocking distributors and value-added resellers that sell directly to end-users. Products and services may be sold separately or in bundled packages.

Revenue Recognition

Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Topic 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations, as the promise to transfer individual goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, is distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells these products. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates the stand-alone selling prices using the best estimated selling price approach.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Substantially all of the Company’s product sales revenues are recognized at a point in time. Substantially all of the Company’s service and SaaS revenue is recognized over time. For revenue recognized over time, the Company uses an input measure, days elapsed, to measure progress.

On September 30, 2019, the Company had $273.7 million of remaining performance obligations, which primarily comprised of deferred maintenance and SaaS revenue. The Company expects to recognize approximately 58 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in fiscal 2020, an additional 24 percent in fiscal 2021 and 18 percent of the balance thereafter.

10

Contract Balances. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable and deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheet s. Services provided under renewable support arrangements of the Company are billed in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, which are either billed fully at the inception of contract or at periodic intervals (e.g., quarterly or annually). The Company sometimes receives payments from its customers in advance of services being provided, resulting in deferred revenues. These liabilities are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet s on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each period was $53.8 million and $50.6 million, respectively.

Contract Costs. The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Management expects that commission fees paid to sales representatives as a result of obtaining service contracts and contract renewals are recoverable and therefore the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets included capitalized balances in the amount of $7.6 million and $4.9 million at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Capitalized commission fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average period of service contracts of approximately three years, and are included in “Sales and marketing” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, was $2.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively. There was no impairment loss in relation to the costs capitalized.

Estimated Variable Consideration. There were no material changes in the current period to the estimated variable consideration for performance obligations which were satisfied or partially satisfied during previous periods.

4. | Business Combination

Aerohive Acquisition

On August 9, 2019 (the “Acquisition Date”) the Company consummated its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of all of the outstanding common stock of Aerohive Networks, Inc. (“Aerohive”) pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into as of June 26, 2019. Under the terms of the Acquisition, the preliminary net consideration paid by Extreme to Aerohive stockholders was $267.1 million.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the acquired assets and liabilities of Aerohive have been recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of the Company including an amount for goodwill calculated as the difference between the acquisition consideration and the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase price allocation is pending the finalization of valuations, which may result in an adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation.

The estimated fair values were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques, including work performed by third-party valuation specialists. The fair value of working capital related items, such as other current assets and accrued liabilities, approximated their book values at the date of acquisition. Inventories were valued at fair value using the net realizable value approach. The fair value of the acquired deferred revenue was estimated using the cost build-up approach. The cost build-up approach determines fair value using estimates of the costs required to provide the contracted deliverables plus an assumed profit. The total costs including the assumed profit were adjusted to present value using a discount rate considered appropriate. The resulting fair value approximates the amount that the Company would be required to pay to a third party to assume the obligation. Valuations of the intangible assets were valued using income approaches based on management projections, which the Company considers to be Level 3 inputs. The Company also continues to analyze the tax implications of the acquisition of the intangible assets which may ultimately impact the overall level of goodwill associated with the acquisition. Results of operations of Aerohive have been included in the operations of the Company beginning with the Acquisition Date.

The components of aggregate estimated purchase consideration are as follows (in thousands):

Estimated purchase consideration | August 9, 2019 |
Cash paid to acquire outstanding shares | $ | 263,616 |
Replacement of stock-based awards |  | 3,530 |
Aggregate estimated purchase consideration | $ | 267,146 |

Total intangible assets acquired |  | 247,664 |
Total net assets acquired | $ | 267,146 |

The following table presents details of the identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition (dollars in thousands):

Intangible Assets |  | Estimated Useful Life (in years) |  |  | Amount |
Developed technology |  |  | 4 |  |  | $ | 40,000 |
Backlog |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 400 |
Customer relationships |  |  | 7 |  |  |  | 11,400 |
Trade names |  |  | 1.5 |  |  |  | 1,600 |
Total identifiable intangible assets |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 53,400 |

The amortization for the developed technology and backlog is recorded in “Cost of revenues” for product and the amortization for the remaining intangibles is recorded in “Amortization of intangibles” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of Aerohive. The Company will not be entitled to amortization of the goodwill and intangible assets for tax purposes as this acquisition is a nontaxable stock acquisition.

The results of operations of Aerohive are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated results of operations beginning August 9, 2019. The Aerohive revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $25.4 million and has been incorporated into the revenue of the Company. The associated expenses of Aerohive have been incorporated with the results of operations of the Company and, therefore, stand-alone operating results are not available.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred acquisition and integration related expenses of $15.9 million associated with the acquisition of Aerohive including a $6.8 million compensation charge for certain Aerohive Executive stock awards which were accelerated due to change-in-control and termination provisions included in the Executives’ employment contracts. Other acquisition and integration costs consist primarily of professional fees for financial and legal advisory services and severance charges for terminated Aerohive employees. Such acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and are included in “Acquisition and integration costs” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Pro forma financial information

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations are presented as though the acquisition of Aerohive had occurred as of July 1, 2018, the beginning of fiscal 2019, after giving effect to purchase accounting adjustments relating to inventories, deferred revenue, depreciation and amortization of intangibles, acquisition costs, interest income and expense and related tax effects.

The pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the combined results that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated as of the beginning of fiscal 2019, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results. The unaudited pro forma results do not include the impact of synergies, nor any potential impacts on current or future market conditions which could alter the unaudited pro forma results.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended September 30, 2019 combines the historical results for Extreme for the period, which include the results of Aerohive subsequent to the Acquisition Date, and Aerohive’s historical results up to the Acquisition Date.

Pro forma results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 combines the historical results of operations for Extreme and for Aerohive.

Total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments |  | $ | 161,074 |  |  | $ | 169,607 |

Inventories

The Company values its inventory at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost, which approximates actual cost, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company adjusts the carrying value of its inventory when conditions exist that suggest that inventory may be in excess of anticipated demand or is obsolete based upon assumptions about future demand. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis. Any written down or obsolete inventory subsequently sold has not had a material impact on gross margin for any of the periods presented.

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2019 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Finished goods |  | $ | 67,268 |  |  | $ | 49,492 |

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents amounts for (i) deferred maintenance and support revenue (ii) deferred SaaS revenue, and (iii) other deferred revenue including professional services and training when the revenue recognition criteria have not been met.

Guarantees and Product Warranties

The majority of the Company’s hardware products are shipped with either a one-year warranty or a limited lifetime warranty, and software products receive a 90-day warranty for media only. Upon shipment of products to its customers, the Company estimates expenses for the cost to repair or replace products that may be returned under warranty and accrues a liability in cost of product revenue for this amount. The determination of the Company’s warranty requirements is based on actual historical experience with the product or product family, estimates of repair and replacement costs and any product warranty problems that are identified after shipment. The Company estimates and adjusts these accruals at each balance sheet date in accordance with changes in these factors.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s product warranty liability during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | September 30, 2019 |  |  | September 30, 2018 |
Balance beginning of period |  | $ | 14,779 |  |  | $ | 12,807 |
Warranties assumed due to acquisitions |  |  | 570 |  |  |  | — |
New warranties issued |  |  | 5,922 |  |  |  | 3,722 |

To facilitate sales of its products in the normal course of business, the Company indemnifies its resellers and end-user customers with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to hold the customer harmless against losses arising from a breach of intellectual property infringement or other. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim. It is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by the Company under these agreements have not had a material impact on its operating results or financial position.

Concentrations

The Company may be subject to concentration of credit risk as a result of certain financial instruments consisting of accounts receivable and short-term investments. The Company does not invest an amount exceeding 10% of its combined cash or cash equivalents in the securities of any one obligor or maker, except for obligations of the United States government, obligations of United States government agencies and money market accounts.

6. | Fair Value Measurements

A three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are defined as follows:

| • | Level 1 Inputs - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

| • | Level 2 Inputs - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

| • | Level 3 Inputs - unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions in measuring the asset or liability at fair value.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

September 30, 2019 |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Total |
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Money market funds |  | $ | 8,647 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 8,647 |
U.S. Treasuries |  |  | — |  |  |  | 9,329 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 9,329 |
Corporate debt securities |  |  | — |  |  |  | 12,408 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 12,408 |
Commercial Paper |  |  | — |  |  |  | 7,968 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 7,968 |
Total assets measured at fair value |  | $ | 8,647 |  |  | $ | 29,705 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 38,352 |
Liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 5,693 |  |  | $ | 5,693 |
Total liabilities measured at fair value |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 5,693 |  |  | $ | 5,693 |

The Company had one fair value item at June 30, 2019, a level 3 acquisition-related contingent consideration obligation or $6.3 million.

Level 1 investments:

The Company holds investment in highly liquid money market funds which are classified as cash equivalents. The Company classifies these investments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company values them based on quoted market prices in active markets.

Level 2 assets and liabilities:

The Company holds investment in U.S. treasuries, investment-grade corporate bonds, corporate securities and commercial paper which are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company values them based on pricing obtained from an independent pricing service, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model driven valuations using observable market data or inputs corroborated by observable market data. The Company classifies these instruments as short-term investments unless their maturities are three months or less when purchases, in which case the Company classifies them as cash equivalents. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 for the periods presented.

All of the Level 1 and Level 2 assets are classified as available for sale securities. The amortized cost of the short-term investments approximates their fair value. As of September 30, 2019, unrealized gains and losses from the Company’s short-term investments were not material. All short-term investments that the Company held as of September 30, 2019 contractually mature within one year.

The fair value of the borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreements is estimated based on valuations provided by alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which is considered Level 2. Due to the recent establishment of the Credit agreement, the fair value approximates the face amount of the Company’s indebtedness of $380.0 million and $180.5 million as of September 30, 2019, and June 30, 2019, respectively.

16

Level 3 assets and liabilities:

At June 30, 2018, the Company reflected a liability for contingent consideration related to a certain acquisition completed in fiscal 2018. The fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using Level 3 inputs. These fair value measurements represent Level 3 measurements as they are based on significant inputs not observable in the market. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, changes in assumptions could have a material impact on the amount of contingent consideration expense the Company records in any given period. Changes in the value of the contingent consideration obligations is recorded in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The change in the acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations is as follows (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | September 30, 2019 |
Beginning balance |  |  | 6,298 |
Payments |  |  | (635 | )
Accretion on discount |  |  | 30 |
Ending balance |  | $ | 5,693 |

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 2 and Level 3 during the three months ended September 30, 2019, or 2018. There were no impairments recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2019, or 2018.

Short-term investments include available-for-sale investment-grade debt securities that the Company carries at fair value. The Company accumulates unrealized gains and losses on the Company's available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income in the stockholders' equity section of its balance sheets. Such an unrealized gain or loss does not reduce net income for the applicable accounting period. If the fair value of an available-for-sale debt instrument is less than its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is triggered in circumstances where (1) the Company intends to sell the instrument, (2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the instrument before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the instrument (that is, a credit loss exists). If the Company intends to sell or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the available-for-sale debt instrument before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings equal to the entire difference between the debt instruments' amortized cost basis and its fair value. For available-for-sale debt instruments that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired due to the existence of a credit loss, if the Company does not intend to sell and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the instrument before recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis (amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss), the Company separates the amount of the impairment into the amount that is credit related and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between the debt instrument's amortized cost basis and the present value of its expected future cash flows. The remaining difference between the debt instrument's fair value and the present value of future expected cash flows is due to factors that are not credit related and is recognized in other comprehensive income.

The Company determines the basis of the cost of a security sold or the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings using the specific identification method. Realized gains or losses recognized on the sale of investment securities were not significant for the quarters ending September 30, 2019 or September 30, 2018

7. | Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Total debt |  | $ | 369,929 |  |  | $ | 178,750 |

In connection with the acquisition of Aerohive as discussed in Note 4, on August 9, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as borrower, several banks and other financial institutions as Lenders, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as an Issuing Lender, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders.

18

The 2019 Credit Agreement provides for a 5-year first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $380 million (the “2019 Term Loan”) and a 5-year revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “2019 Revolving Facility”). In addition, the Company may request incremental term loans and/or incremental revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of $100 million plus an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with certain financial tests. On August 9, 2019, the Company used the proceeds to partially fund the acquisition of Aerohive and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

At the Company’s election, the initial term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be made as either base rate loans or Eurodollar loans. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 2.50% per annum and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans ranges from 1.25% to 3.50%, in each case based on Extreme’s consolidated leverage ratio. All Eurodollar loans are subject to a Base Rate of 0.00%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.40% quarterly (currently 0.35%) on the unused portion of the 2019 Revolving Facility, also based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Principal installments are payable on the new term loan in varying percentages quarterly starting December 31, 2019 and to the extent not previously paid, all outstanding balances are to be paid at maturity. The 2019 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The 2019 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of its property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.

Financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness or credit agreement. The Company incurred $10.5 million of deferred financing costs in conjunction which this modification of the debt and continues to amortize $1.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the previous facility. The interest rate as of September 30, 2019 is 5.47%

Amortization of deferred financing costs included in “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations totaled $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company had $70.6 million of availability under the 2019 Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2019. The Company had $4.4 million of outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2019.

9. | Leases

Lessee Considerations

The Company lease certain facilities, equipment, and vehicles under operating leases that expire on various dates through fiscal 2028. Its leases generally have terms that range from 1 year to 9 years for its facilities, 1 year to 6 years for equipment, and 1 year to 5 years for vehicles. Some of its leases contain renewal options, escalation clauses, rent concessions, and leasehold improvement incentives.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has elected not to recognize a lease liability or right-of-use (ROU) asset for short-term leases (leases with a term of twelve months or less). Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of future payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate because the rate implicit in the leases are not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate for collateralized borrowings based on the current economic environment, credit history, credit rating and lease term. Operating lease assets also included a reclassification for asset impairments and associated restructuring liabilities, deferred rent, lease incentives and initial direct costs which reduced the operating lease ROU assets as of July 1, 2019.

Some operating leases contain lease and non-lease components. Certain lease contracts include fixed payments for services, such as operations, maintenance, or other services. The Company has elected to account for fixed lease and non-lease components as a single lease component except for the logistic service asset class. Cash payments made for variable lease and non-lease costs are not included in the measurement of operating lease assets and liabilities and are recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as incurred. Some lease terms include one or more options to renew. The Company does not assume renewals in its determination of the lease term unless it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees.

19

Activity and other information relating to operating leases is as follows (in thousands except for lease term and discount rate):

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 |
Operating lease costs | $ | 5,143 |
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating liabilities |  | 5,507 |
ROU assets obtained for new lease obligations |  | 64 |
ROU assets obtained from Aerohive business combination |  | 6,336 |
Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) |  | 4.8 |
Weighted Average Discount Rate |  | 4.5 | %

Short-term lease expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was not material.

The maturities of the Company’s operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2019 by fiscal year are as follows:

|  | Operating Leases (in thousands) |
2020 (remaining nine months) |  | $ | 15,749 |
2021 |  |  | 19,941 |
2022 |  |  | 19,142 |
2023 |  |  | 15,516 |
2024 |  |  | 6,128 |
Thereafter |  |  | 12,182 |

Total operating lease liabilities |  | $ | 79,306 |
Operating lease liabilities, current |  | $ | 17,767 |
Operating lease liabilities, non-current |  | $ | 61,539 |

As of June 30, 2019, the minimum future rentals on non-cancellable operating leases by fiscal year, based on the previous accounting standard, were as follows:

|  | Operating Leases (in thousands) |
2020 |  | $ | 22,733 |
2021 |  |  | 21,174 |
2022 |  |  | 20,680 |
2023 |  |  | 17,828 |
2024 |  |  | 5,976 |
Thereafter |  |  | 16,287 |
Total lease payments |  | $ | 104,678 |

Sublease Considerations

The Company currently is a sublessor on several operating facility subleases that expire on various dates through fiscal 2023. The subleases have terms from 5 to 6 years and extend through the term of the underlying leases. The subleases do not include renewal options, purchase options, or termination rights. These operating subleases include only lease components. Cash payments for variable lease components such as operating expenses are not included as lease components for accounting purposes. The Company had $0.6 million of sublease income for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Lessor Considerations

Although most of the Company’s revenue from its hardware business comes from sales of hardware, in some limited cases the recurring subscription revenue contracts represent operating leases for these customers. These leases range in duration generally up to three years with payments generally collected in equal quarterly installments. These leases include 60-day termination rights. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, $3.7 million and $4.0 million, are included in product revenue in the financial statements, respectively. There were no changes to the accounting treatment of these transactions from the adoption of ASC 842.

20

10. | Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

The Company currently has arrangements with contract manufacturers and suppliers for the manufacture of its products. Those arrangements allow the contract manufactures to procure long lead-time component inventory based upon a rolling production forecast provided by the Company. The Company is obligated to purchase long lead-time component inventory that inventory and other services. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had commitments to purchase $50.6 million of inventory and other services.

Legal Proceedings

The Company may from time to time be party to litigation arising in the course of its business, including, without limitation, allegations relating to commercial transactions, business relationships or intellectual property rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Litigation in general, and intellectual property and securities litigation in particular, can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not record a loss accrual. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of any prior accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then the Company would disclose an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made, or disclose that an estimate cannot be made. The assessment whether a loss is probable or a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Even if a loss is reasonably possible, the Company may not be able to estimate a range of possible loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are substantial or indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories or a large number of parties. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including the amount of any possible loss, fine or penalty. Accordingly, for current proceedings, except as noted below, the Company is currently unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss or range of possible loss. However, an adverse resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

Brazilian Tax Assessment Matter

On May 28, 2007, the Public Treasury Department of the State of Sao Paolo, Brazil (the “Tax Authority”) assessed the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, Enterasys Networks do Brasil Ltda. (“Enterasys Brasil”), based on an alleged underpayment of taxes. The Tax Authority also charged interest and penalties with respect to the assessment (collectively, the “ICMS Tax Assessment”). The Tax Authority denied Enterasys Brasil the use of certain presumed tax credits granted by the State of Espirito Santo, Brazil under the terms of the FUNDAP program for the period from February 2003 to December 2004. The value of the disallowed presumed tax credits is BRL 3.4 million (USD $0.8 million), excluding interest and penalties. All currency conversions in this Legal Proceedings section are as of September 30, 2019.

Unable to resolve the matter at the administrative level, on October 1, 2014, Enterasys Brasil filed a lawsuit in the 11th Public Treasury Court of the Sao Paolo State Court of Justice (Judiciary District of Sao Paolo) to overturn or reduce the ICMS Tax Assessment. As part of this lawsuit, Enterasys Brasil requested a stay of execution, so that no tax foreclosure could be filed and no guarantee would be required until the court issued its final ruling. On or about October 6, 2014, the court granted a preliminary injunction staying any execution on the assessment but requiring that Enterasys Brasil deposit the assessed amount with the court. Enterasys Brasil appealed this ruling and, on or about January 28, 2015, the appellate court ruled that no cash deposit (or guarantee) was required. In a decision dated August 28, 2017, and published on October 3, 2017, the court validated the assessment and penalty imposed by the Tax Authority but ruled that the Tax Authority was charging an unlawfully high interest rate on the tax assessment and penalty amounts and ordered the interest rate reduced to the maximum Federal rate. The August 28, 2017, decision, were it to become final, would require Enterasys Brasil to pay a total of BRL 20.0 million (USD $4.8 million), which includes penalties, court costs, attorneys’ fees, and accrued interest as of September 30, 2019. The Company believes the ICMS Tax Assessment against Enterasys Brasil is without merit and has appealed the lower court’s decision. The appellate court ruled that no cash deposit (or guarantee) is required during the pendency of the appeal.

Based on the currently available information, the Company believes the ultimate outcome of the ICMS Tax Assessment litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall results of operations. However, due to the complexities and uncertainty surrounding the judicial process in Brazil and the nature of the claims asserted, there can be no assurance of a favorable outcome for Enterasys Brasil, which recorded an accrual of BRL 9.4 million (USD $2.2 million) as of the date the Company acquired Enterasys Networks.

21

The Company made a demand on April 11, 2014, for a defense from, and indemnification by, the former equity holder of Enterasys Networks, Inc. (“Seller”) in connection with the ICMS Tax Assessment. Seller agreed to assume the defense of the ICMS Tax Assessment on May 20, 2014. In addition, through the settlement of an indemnification-related lawsuit with the Seller on June 18, 2015, Seller agreed to continue to defend the Company with respect to the ICMS Tax Assessment and to indemnify the Company for losses related thereto subject to certain conditions. These conditions include the offsetting of foreign income tax benefits realized by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Enterasys. Based upon current projections of the foreign income tax benefits to be realized, and the potential liability in the event of an adverse final judgment in the ICMS Tax Assessment litigation, the Company does not presently anticipate that any amounts under the indemnification will be due from the Seller in connection with the ICMS Tax Assessment.

XR Communications, LLC d/b/a Vivato Technologies v. Extreme Networks, Inc. Patent Infringement Suit

On April 19, 2017, XR Communications, LLC (“XR”) (d/b/a Vivato Technologies) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the Central District of California (XR Communications, LLC, dba Vivato Technologies v. Extreme Networks, Inc., No. 2:17-cv-2953-AG). The operative Second Amended Complaint asserts infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,062,296, 7,729,728, and 6,611,231 based on the Company’s manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, and/or importation into the United States of certain access points and routers supporting multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output technology. XR seeks unspecified damages, on-going royalties, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees (but no injunction). In orders dated April 10 and May 22, 2018, the Court stayed the case pending a resolution by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of inter partes review (IPR) petitions filed by several defendants in other XR-related patent lawsuits challenging the validity of the asserted patents. The PTAB has now invalidated all asserted claims of the ’296 patent and ’728 patent, and has found the challenged claims of the ’231 patent not invalid in view of the prior art asserted in the IPR instituted against that patent. Given the stay, the Court took off calendar all previously scheduled events (including a Markman hearing and potential trial date). During a status conference on February 11, 2019, the Court continued the stay and set a status conference for December 2, 2019. The Company believes the claims are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.

Orckit IP, LLC v. Extreme Networks, Inc., Extreme Networks Ireland Ltd., and Extreme Networks GmbH

On February 1, 2018, Orckit IP, LLC (“Orckit”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company and its Irish and German subsidiaries in the District Court in Dusseldorf, Germany. The lawsuit alleges direct and indirect infringement of the German portion of European Patent EP 1 958 364 B1 (“EP ’364”) based on the offer, distribution, use, possession and/or importation into Germany of certain network switches equipped with the ExtremeXOS operating system. Orckit is seeking injunctive relief, accounting, and an unspecified declaration of liability for damages and costs of the lawsuit. On May 3, 2018, Extreme Networks GmbH filed a separate nullity action in the Federal Patent Court in Munich, seeking to invalidate the asserted patents, and on May 4, 2018, the defendants answered the infringement complaint, denying any infringement and seeking a stay of the action pending the conclusion of the nullity action. Orckit filed its reply on September 26, 2019 and Extreme’s rejoinder is due on December 17, 2019. The District Court Düsseldorf scheduled a hearing in this case for January 28, 2020.

On April 23, 2019, Orckit filed and extension of the patent infringement complaint against the Company and its Irish and German subsidiaries in the District Court in Dusseldorf, Germany. With this extension, Orckit alleges infringement of the German portion of European Patent EP 3 068 077 B1 (“EP ‘077”) based on the offer, distribution, use, possession and/or importation into Germany of certain network switches. Orckit is seeking injunctive relief, accounting and sales information, and a declaration of liability for damages as well as costs of the lawsuit. Extreme’s answer to the EP ‘077 infringement complaint is due on November 5, 2019. Extreme also plans to file a nullity action with the German Federal Patent Court on or before that date, seeking to invalidate the asserted patent. No hearing has been scheduled yet in this case, which was split from the original action involving the first patent in suit.

The Company believes that all claims are without merit and defends them vigorously.

Global Innovation Aggregators, LLC v. Extreme Networks, Inc.; Extreme Networks China Limited; Extreme Networks Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.; and Shenzhen Yingzhixiang Technology Co.

22

In January 2019, Global Innovation Aggregators, LLC (“GIA”) filed six patent infringement lawsuits against the Company and its Chinese and Hong Kong subsidiaries and Shenzhen Yingzhixiang Technology Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen Interme diate People’s Court in China. The six patents at issue are ZL200610168028.1 (“ZL ‘028.1”), ZL200510120823.9, ZL200410057124.X, ZL200410070933.4, ZL200510103486.2 (“ZL ‘486.2”), and ZL200610060686.9 (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”). Each patent was asserted in a separate law suit. The filing date for the first case is January 18, 2019, and the filing date for the rest of the cases is January 23, 2019. The trial for the first case is currently scheduled for January 15, 2020, and trials for the rest of the cases have not yet been scheduled. GIA has accused the Summit X440-G2-24t-10GE4 (product number: 16532), Summit X440-G2-24p-10GE4 (product number: 16533) and Summit X460-G2-24x-10GE4-Base (product number: 16705) (collectively the “Accused Products”) of infringing the Asserted Patents. GIA has also alleged that the following Extreme switch products support the same functions as the Accused Products: Summit X440-G2 series, X450-G2 series, X460-G2 series, X620 series, X670-G2 series, X770 series, X870 series, X690 series, and X590 series. GIA is a U.S. entity established under the laws of Delaware with its principal office in Pasadena, California. Extreme disputes GIA’s claims and intends to defend the matter vigorously. Additionally, Extreme has filed invalidity challenges with the Chinese patent office to challenge the validity of each asserted patent. Oral invalidity hearings were held in July and August 2019. The Chinese patent office has issued decisions maintaining the validity of the ZL ‘028.1 and ZL ‘486.2 patents, but has not yet issued decisions for the remaining four patents. Given the uncertainty of litigation and the preliminary stage of the case, Extreme cannot estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss that may result from this action.

Shenzhen Dunjun Technology Ltd. v. Aerohive Networks (Hangzhou) Ltd.; Aerohive Networks, Inc.; and Yunqing Information Technology (Shenzhen) Ltd.

In late September 2019, Extreme Networks learned of a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Shenzhen Dunjun Technology Ltd. (“Shenzhen Dunjun”) against Aerohive Networks, Inc., its Chinese subsidiary, and Yunqing Information Technology (Shenzhen) Ltd. in the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court in China. The lawsuit alleges infringement of Chinese patent ZL02123502.3. The complaint was received by Aerohive Networks, Inc. on October 9 and by its Chinese subsidiary on October 10. Extreme cannot estimate at this time the possible loss or range of loss that may result from this action, but Shenzhen Dunjun claims damages in the amount of RMB 10,000,000.

Indemnification Obligations

Subject to certain limitations, the Company may be obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers and employees. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and applicable law. The obligation to indemnify, where applicable, generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse, and in certain circumstances the Company has paid or reimbursed, the individuals' reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with certain legal matters. For example, the Company currently is paying or reimbursing legal expenses being incurred by certain current and former officers and directors in connection with the shareholder litigation described above. The Company also procures Directors and Officers insurance to help cover its defense and/or indemnification costs, although its ability to recover such costs through insurance is uncertain. While it is not possible to estimate the maximum potential amount that could be owed under these indemnification agreements due to the Company’s limited history with prior indemnification claims, indemnification (including defense) costs could, in the future, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has the outstanding indemnification claims described above.

11. | Stockholders’ Equity

Stockholders’ Rights Agreement

On April 26, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement between the Company and Computershare Shareholder Services LLC as the rights agent (the “Restated Rights Plan”). The Restated Rights Plan governs the terms of each right (“Right”) that has been issued with respect to each share of common stock of Extreme Networks. Each Right initially represents the right to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Preferred Stock. The Restated Rights Plan replaces in its entirety the Rights Agreement, dated as of April 27, 2001, as subsequently amended, between the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC (the “Prior Rights Plan”).

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the Restated Rights Plan to preserve the value of deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carry forwards of the Company, with respect to its ability to fully use its tax benefits to offset future income which may be limited if the Company experiences an “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as a result of ordinary buying and selling of its common stock. Following its review of the terms of the plan, the Board decided it was necessary and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to enter into the Restated Rights Plan. The Restated Rights Plan incorporates the Prior Rights Plan and the amendments thereto into a single agreement and extended the term of the Prior Rights Plan to April 30, 2013. Each year since 2013 the Board and stockholders have approved an amendment providing for a one-year extension of the term of the Restated Rights Plan. The Board unanimously approved an amendment to the Restated Rights Plan on May 9, 2019, to extend the Restated Rights Plan through May 31, 2020, subject to ratification by a majority of the stockholders of the Company at the next annual shareholders meeting.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment to the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to increase the maximum number of shares that will be available for sale thereunder by 7,500,000 shares which is pending ratification by the stockholders of the Company at the annual meeting of stockholders held on November 7, 2019.

Common Stock Repurchases

On November 2, 2018, the Company announced that the Board had authorized management to repurchase up to $60.0 million of the Company’s common stock for two years from the date of authorization. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. A maximum of $35.0 million of the Company’s common stock may be repurchased in any calendar year. There were no shares repurchased for the three months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Aerohive 2014 Equity Incentive Plan

Pursuant to the acquisition of Aerohive on August 9, 2019, the Company assumed the Aerohive 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Aerohive Plan"). Stock awards outstanding under the Aerohive Plan were converted into awards for Extreme shares as of the Acquisition Date at a predetermined rate pursuant to the Merger Agreement. As of September 30, 2019, total awards to acquire 1,457,321 shares of Extreme common stock were outstanding under the Aerohive Plan. If a participant terminates employment prior to the vesting dates, the non-vested shares will be forfeited and retired. No future grants may be made from the Aerohive Plan.

Share-based compensation expense

Share-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements by line item caption is as follows (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, or 2018, the Company did not capitalize any share-based compensation expense in inventory, as the amounts were immaterial.

Stock Awards

Stock awards may be granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) on terms approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Stock awards generally provide for the issuance of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) including performance or market-based RSUs which vest over a fixed period of time or based upon the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. The Company uses the straight-line method for expense attribution. The Company does not estimate forfeitures, but accounts for them as incurred.

The fair value of each stock option grant under the 2013 Plan and 2005 Equity Incentive Plan is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The Company uses the Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value and the derived service period of stock awards with market conditions, on the date of the grant. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate is based upon the estimated life of the option and the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility on the Company’s stock. The average fair value of the options granted was $6.70.

The fair value of each RSU grant with performance-based vesting criteria (“PSUs”) under the 2013 Plan is estimated on the date of grant using the Monte-Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value and the derived service period of stock awards with market conditions, on the date of the grant.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company approved the grant of 5,484,772 RSUs to employees and directors. The RSUs vest from the original grant date as to one-third (1/3) on the one-year anniversary and one-twelfth (1/12) each quarter thereafter, subject to continued service to the Company. These RSUs included 566,038 RSUs to named executive officers and directors.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the 2019 and 2018 Performance Thresholds for outstanding performance awards were not achieved.

2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The fair value of each share purchase option under the Company’s 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model with the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. The expected term of the ESPP represents the term of the offering period of each option. The risk-free rate is based upon the estimated life and on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility on the Company’s stock.

25

There were 1,233,544 and 1,280,708 shares issued under the ESPP during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of shares granted under the ESPP during the following periods:

|  | Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | September 30, 2019 |  |  | September 30, 2018 |
Expected life |  | 0.5 years |  |  | 0.5 years |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.85 | % |  |  | 2.20 | %
Volatility |  |  | 43 | % |  |  | 63 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | — | % |  |  | — | %

The weighted-average fair value of shares granted under the ESPP during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2.02 and $2.73, respectively.

13. | Information about Segments and Geographic Areas

The Company operates in one segment, the development and marketing of network infrastructure equipment. The Company conducts business globally and is managed geographically. Revenue is attributed to a geographical area based on the location of its customers. The Company operates in three geographical areas: Americas, which includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and South America; EMEA, which includes Europe, Russia, Middle East and Africa; and APAC which includes Asia Pacific, South Asia, India, Australia and Japan. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, who is its CEO, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

See Note 3 Net Revenues for the Company’s revenues by geographic regions and channel based on the customer’s ship-to location.

The Company’s long-lived assets are attributed to the geographic regions as follows (in thousands):

Long-lived Assets |  | September 30, 2019 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Americas |  | $ | 231,094 |  |  | $ | 136,035 |

14. | Restructuring Charges, net of reversals and impairment

Restructuring liabilities at September 30, 2019 of $2.1 million relate to severance and benefits obligations and are recorded in “Other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recorded $6.1 million of restructuring charges, net of reversals and impairment during the three months ended September 30, 2019, including charges of $3.9 million of impairment of right-of-use-assets related to facilities which the Company has exited and $2.2 million related to employee severance and benefit expenses.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company continued its initiative to realign its operations by exiting a floor of its San Ignacio building in South San Jose California and consolidating its workforce. Also, the Company exited additional space in its Salem New Hampshire facility which includes general office and lab space. The Company has the intent and ability to sub-lease these facilities which it has ceased using and as such has considered estimated future sub-lease income based on its existing leases agreement, as well as the local real estate market conditions in measuring the amount of asset impairment. The Company also factored into its estimate the time for a sub-lease tenant to enter into an agreement and complete any improvements.

The Company continued its reduction-in-force actions begun in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and recorded additional severance and benefits charges of $2.2 million during the period.

Cash payments of $3.6 million were paid during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Certain amounts have been reclassified from restructuring liabilities and have been recorded as a reduction to operating lease ROU assets as of July 1, 2019.

Balance as of September 30, 2019 |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2,137 |  |  | $ | 2,137 |

15. | Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

The income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, consisted of (1) taxes on the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, (2) foreign withholding taxes (3) tax expense associated with the establishment of a U.S. deferred tax liability for amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Enterasys Networks, Inc., the WLAN Business, the Campus Fabric Business the Data Center Business, and (4) state taxes in jurisdictions where the Company has no remaining state Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”). The income tax provisions for both fiscal years were calculated based on the actual results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and therefore may not reflect the annual effective tax rate.

In the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset at the time the transfer occurs. Historically, GAAP has prohibited the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset had been sold outside the consolidated group. Effective as of July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16 on a modified retrospective basis which requires an adjustment of the cumulative-effect of the adoption to retained earnings. However, the adjustment was immaterial to the financial statements and no such adjustment was necessary. As a result of adoption, the income tax consequences of future intra-entity transfer of assets will be recognized in earnings in each period rather than be deferred until the assets leave the consolidated group. In the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset relating to a transfer of certain assets from the U.S. parent company to its wholly-owned Irish subsidiary of $3.7 million, which was fully offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance resulting in no impact to Company’s statement of operations.

The Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland. A valuation allowance is determined by assessing both negative and positive evidence to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax assets are recoverable; such assessment is required on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. The Company's inconsistent earnings in recent periods, including a cumulative loss over the last three years, coupled with its difficulty in forecasting future revenue trends as well as the cyclical nature of its business represent sufficient negative evidence to require a full valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as well as the deferred tax assets of a newly established wholly owned Irish subsidiary as well as a portion of the deferred tax assets in Ireland. These valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and can be reversed partially or in whole if business results and the economic environment have sufficiently improved to support realization of some or all of the Company's deferred tax assets.

On August 9, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of Aerohive. This acquisition will be treated as a non-taxable stock acquisition and therefore Extreme Networks will have carryover tax basis in the assets and liabilities acquired.

The Company had $25.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2019. The future impact of the unrecognized tax benefit of $25.1 million, if recognized, would result in adjustments to deferred tax assets and corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance. The remaining $0.4 million would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate any events to occur during the next twelve months that would reduce the unrealized tax benefit as currently stated in the Company’s balance sheet.

The Company’s policy is to accrue interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of tax expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In general, the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 2001 forward due to net operating losses and the Company's state income tax returns are subject to examination for fiscal years 2000 forward due to net operating losses. The Company recently settled an examination by the state of North Carolina for fiscal years ended 2014, 2015 and 2016. The settlement resulted in an immaterial payment to the state to close all three years.

16. | Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the dilutive effect of shares subject to repurchase, options and unvested restricted stock units.

The following table presents the calculation of net loss per share of basic and diluted (in thousands, except per share data):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |
|  | September 30, 2019 |  |  | September 30, 2018 |  |
Net loss |  | $ | (37,738 | ) |  | $ | (9,065 | ) |
Weighted-average shares used in per share calculation - basic and diluted |  |  | 120,226 |  |  |  | 117,368 |  |
Net loss per share - basic and diluted |  | $ | (0.31 | ) |  | $ | (0.08 | ) |

The following securities were excluded from the computation of net loss per diluted share of common stock for the periods presented as their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

We are relentless in our commitment to our 50,000 customers around the world, including over half of the Fortune 50 and some of the world's leading names in business, hospitality, retail, transportation and logistics, education, government, healthcare, and manufacturing, and provide the building blocks that drive competitive advantage, accelerate innovation, and improve the human experience. This is Customer-Driven Networking™.

Enterprise network administrators from the data center to the access layer need to respond to the rapid digital transformational trends of cloud, mobility, big data, social business and the ever-present need for network security. Accelerators such as Internet of Things (“IoT”), artificial intelligence (“AI”), bring your own device (“BYOD”), machine learning, cognitive computing, and robotics add complexity to challenge the capabilities of traditional networks. Technology advances have a profound effect across the entire enterprise network placing unprecedented demands on network administrators to enhance management capabilities, scalability, programmability, agility, and analytics of the enterprise networks they manage.

29

Improving the network experience for enterprises that increasingly require greater simplification at the edge or the access layer of the network to ensure business success and provide a secure, unified, wired / wireless infrastructure augmented and managed through a single plane of glass remains a key focus for Extreme. We enhanced our Smart OmniEdge product portfolio in fiscal year 2019 with the launches of our suite of Wi-Fi 6 access points, ExtremeAI software solutions, and Defender for IoT to simplify IoT security. Enterprises have also migrated increasing numbers of applications and services to either private clouds or public clouds offered by third parties and are adopting new IT delivery models and applications that require fundamental network alterations and enhancements spanning from device access point to the network core. In either case, the network infrastructure must adapt to this new dynamic environment. Intelligence and automation are key if enterprises are to derive maximum benefit from their cloud deployments.

A trend affecting the enterprise network equipment market is the adoption of the cloud-managed enterprise WLAN in the enterprise market. We continued execution towards our strategic objectives by expanding our cloud portfolio with the acquisition of Aerohive Networks, Inc. (“Aerohive”) in August 2019. This acquisition enhances our cloud offering by adding a 3rd generation cloud with Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence insights and analytics that we intend to expand to all the Extreme ElementsTM. This cloud-driven solution will be the only offering in the market that seamlessly integrates the Cloud with on premises infrastructures and spans from the edge to the enterprise data center.

We believe that understanding the following key developments is helpful to an understanding of our operating results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019.

To facilitate the readers understanding, the following is a list of common terms in our industry used in the discussion of our business:

| • | Access: Network access is the closest point of entry to a network whether it is a wireless access point, Ethernet connection, or Wi-Fi device.

| • | Access Point: A wireless access point, or more generally just access point (“AP”), is a networking hardware device that allows a Wi-Fi device to connect to a wired network. (Source: Industry term)

| • | Aggregation: In computer networking, the term aggregation applies to various methods of combining (aggregating) multiple network connections in parallel in order to increase throughput beyond what a single connection could sustain, and to provide redundancy in case one of the links should fail.

| • | Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) is a set of technologies that enable computers to simulate the cognitive knowledge-processing capabilities of humans. Because it is artificial, the objective of most work in AI is to augment the capabilities of humans, not to replace them. Just as computers in general are applied to the tedious and repetitive tasks that humans find tedious, AI-based solutions can deal with often large (“Big Data”) volumes of digitally-encoded information dispassionately, unemotionally, rapidly, and, depending upon the parameters of a specific application and implementation, accurately. In network administration, AI can be applied to dealing with the “more-variables-than-equations nature” of radio frequency settings in even very- large-scale Wi-Fi installations. The goal is to achieve optimal network-wide performance more accurately and at lower cost than would be possible with humans alone.

| • | Bluetooth Low Energy: A variant of Bluetooth that creates a local area network technology that enables easy, low power connectivity to smartphones and other devices.

| • | Campus Network: A campus network, or campus area network, or corporate area network (“CAN”) is a computer network made up of an interconnection of local area networks (“LANs”) within a limited geographical area, such as a college campus, company campus, hospital, hotel, convention center or sports venue.

| • | Closed-Loop Automation: Enables dynamic, efficient, and software-centric networking by reducing manual intervention to improve network efficiency.

| • | Cloud Management: A Cloud management platform is a suite of integrated software and visibility tools that an enterprise can use to monitor and control on-premises networking equipment, such as Access Points, Switches, and Routers.

| • | CloudStack: CloudStack is an open source cloud computing software for creating, managing, and deploying infrastructure cloud services. It uses existing hypervisors such as KVM, VMware ESXi and XenServer/XCP for virtualization.

| • | Core: A core network, or network core, is the central part of a telecommunications network that provides various services to customers who are connected by the access network.

| • | Data Center: A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes redundant or backup power supplies, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g. air conditioning, fire suppression) and various security devices.

30

| • | Data Center Fabric technologies: Also known as IP Fabric, is the basic topology of how a network is laid out and connected to switch traffic on a data or circuit-switched network.

| • | Edge: An edge device is a device which provides an entry point into enterprise or service provider core networks. Examples include routers, routing switches, integrated access devices (“IADs”), multiplexers, and a variety of metropolitan area network (“MAN”) and wide area network (“WAN”) access devices.

| • | Fabric Attach: Extreme’s Fabric Attach (“FA”) fundamentally introduces autonomic/automatic attachment to network services for end user IoT devices to a network infrastructure. Fabric Attach and Fabric Connect are key building blocks of the Extreme Fabric architecture.

| • | Fabric Connect: Fabric Connect is an extended implementation of the IEEE/IEFT standards for Shortest Path Bridging (“SPB”). It offers a full-service network virtualization technology that combines the best of Ethernet and the best of IP using a single network protocol instead of the multiple required for competitive solutions.

| • | Flipped Classroom: Flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom.

| • | Hybrid Cloud: Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment which uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud, and third-party, public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms.

| • | Internet of Things (IoT): the extension of IP networking into physical devices and everyday objects, such as temperature sensors and appliances. IoT devices are technically a superset of all connected devices, but the term is generally used to refer to devices not directly associated to a user (i.e., not often used for Laptops or Smart Phones).

| • | Internet Protocol: Internet Protocol (“IP”) is the principal set (or communications protocol) of digital message formats and rules for exchanging messages between computers across a single network or a series of interconnected networks, using the Internet Protocol Suite (often referred to as TCP/IP).

| • | Layer 3 Data Center Interconnect: A Data Center Interconnect (“DCI”) refers to the networking of two or more different data centers to achieve business or IT objectives. This interconnectivity between separate data centers enables them to work together, share resources and/or pass workloads between one another. A Layer 3 DCI refers to interconnection made through layer 3 of the commonly-referenced multilayered communication model, Open Systems Interconnection.

| • | Machine Learning: Machine Learning (“ML”) is a set of technologies, and itself a branch of AI, that enables computers to simulate human learning, with learning defined here as the ability to change behavior and/or essential capabilities (again, simulated as a digital process on a computer) in response to new information suitably encoded for consumption by the algorithms implementing ML. In other words, ML enables AI-based processes to “learn” from past behaviors and consequently to improve future results, in much the same way as experiential education benefits humans.

| • | Network Automation: Network Automation (“NA”) is a methodology in which software automatically configures, provisions, manages and tests network devices. It is used by enterprises and service providers to improve efficiency and reduce human error and operating expenses.

| • | OpenFlow: OpenFlow (“OF”) is considered one of the first software-defined networking (“SDN”) standards. It originally defined the communication protocol in SDN environments that enables the SDN Controller to directly interact with the forwarding plane of network devices such as switches and routers, both physical and virtual (hypervisor-based), so it can better adapt to changing business requirements. (Source: SDx Central)

| • | OpenStack: OpenStack software controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, managed through a dashboard or via the OpenStack API. OpenStack works with popular enterprise and open source technologies making it ideal for heterogeneous infrastructure. (Source: OpenStack.org)

| • | Private Pre-Shared Key: Private Pre-Shared Keys are unique pre-shared keys created for individuals or groups of users on the same SSID, which mimics the security and control of Enterprise 802.1X authentication without requiring authentication servers or certificates.

| • | RESTful APIs: A RESTful API is an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.

| • | Single Pane of Glass: Single pane of glass is a term used to describe a management display console that integrates all parts of a computer infrastructure.

| • | Stackstorm: A platform for integration and automation across services and tools. It ties existing infrastructure and application environment to automate that environment. It has a particular focus on taking actions in response to events.

31

| • | Wi-Fi: Wireless Access points using Radio Frequency and protocols to allow computers, smartphones, or other devices to connect to the Internet or communicate with one another wirelessly within an area.

| • | Workflow Composer: Extreme’s event-driven automation tool that allows for customizable workflows and automation to drive provisioning, configuration, and troubleshooting actions in a multi-vendor environment

Industry Background

Enterprises are adopting new IT delivery models and applications that require fundamental network alterations and enhancements spanning from device access point to the network core. AI and ML technologies have the potential to vastly improve the network experience. When AI and ML are used in conjunction with an NA technology, administrators can make significant advances in productivity, availability, accessibility, manageability, security and speed of their network infrastructure. These emerging technologies are driving administrators to a mindset of change toward agile processes that allow a versatile workforce to improve the rate of innovation of the enterprise safely, securely and with confidence.

AI, ML and NA have increased the relevance and importance of the network in the enterprise. Traditional network offerings are not well-suited to fulfill enterprise expectations for rapid delivery of new services, more flexible business models, real-time response and massive scalability.

We estimate the total addressable market Extreme’s products, solutions, and services and geographic focus consisting of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), Data Center networking, Ethernet switching, and campus LAN products allow us to address $21 billion of market opportunity, which is growing at approximately five percent per year over the next three years.

The networking industry appears to be invigorated by this wave of technological change:

| • | Ethernet (wired and wireless) has solidified its role in both public and private networks through its scalability, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. At the same time, the enterprises and service providers expect the technology to follow a price-performance curve that mandates continued innovation by Ethernet vendors, and the introduction of 5G cellular networking provides another medium for wireless connectivity that requires significant upgrades to existing Ethernet infrastructure.

| • | The mobile workforce continues to proliferate. Employees expect high-quality and secure access to corporate resources in a BYOD world across a diversity of endpoints such as laptops, tablets, smart phones and wearables, whether they are within the corporate firewall or on-the-go. With Extreme software, IT departments focus their investment decisions on this mobile workforce, taking a unified view of wireless access, from the edge to the cloud. Extreme offers end-to-end solutions that permit IT managers to meet employee expectations and to maximize IT return on investment.

| • | Verticals such as retail, finance, healthcare, education, manufacturing, government and hospitality (which includes sports and entertainment venues) are connecting with their customers and guests beyond the network. These enterprises are investing in guest and location technologies that connect with their customers via their mobile devices over their WLAN. This allows them to obtain rich analytics for contextual marketing, which in turn, enables them to deliver a personalized brand experience. ExtremeGuest and ExtremeLocation have been built on cloud-based technology for simple implementation and fast release to market to better provide necessary insights into guest demographics and location-based analytics.

| • | The Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is having dramatic effects on network infrastructure in healthcare, education, manufacturing, government and retail as more “smart” devices are entering the networks. These devices pose opportunities as well as threats to the network. Extreme’s Defender for IoT delivers security for end points which have limited or even no embedded security capabilities. It is especially targeted to aging wired devices, that need to roam around a room, a building, or even a campus, and complements a customer’s existing security infrastructure by adding in-line defense directly at the IoT device itself.

| • | Growing usage of the cloud. Enterprises have migrated increasing numbers of applications and services to either private clouds or public clouds offered by third parties. In either case, the network infrastructure must adapt to this new dynamic environment. Intelligence and automation are key if enterprises are to derive maximum benefit from their cloud deployments. Ethernet speeds, scaling from 10 Gigabits per second ("G") to 400G, provide the infrastructure for both private and public clouds. In addition, there is growing interest in SDN approaches that may include technologies such as OpenFlow, OpenStack, and CloudStack for increased network agility.

| • | Vendor consolidation is expected to continue. Consolidation of vendors within the enterprise network equipment market and between adjacent markets (storage, security, wireless & voice software and applications) continues to gain momentum. We identified this trend in 2013 with our acquisition of Enterasys. Further, we believe customers are demanding more end-to-end, integrated networking solutions. To address this demand, we acquired the WLAN Business of Zebra in October 2016, the Campus Fabric Business from Avaya in July 2017, and the Data Center Business from Brocade in October 2017, and acquired the entire Cloud Networking portfolio from Aerohive Networks in August 2019.

32

Our strategy, product portfolio and research and development are closely aligned with what we have identified as the following trends in our industry:

| ○ | The software segment of the worldwide enterprise network equipment market has continued to evolve and demands for improvements in Network Management will continue.

| ➣ | We have been shipping ExtremeManagement Center since fiscal year 2017. This innovative software helps IT network administrators to navigate the unprecedented demands caused by the surge of IoT devices and technology. The addition of Aerohive brings us a cloud equivalent option to service all of our customer verticals and requirements.

Product revenue increased $7.4 million or 4.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2019. The increase in product revenues was attributable to growth related to the acquisition of Aerohive offset by lower legacy revenue in the Americas and EMEA.

Service revenue increased $8.2 million, or 13.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in service revenues was attributable to growth related to the acquisition of Aerohive, as well as higher legacy maintenance revenue.

The following table presents the product and service, gross profit and the respective gross profit percentages for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |
|  | September 30, 2019 |  |  | September 30, 2018 |  |  | $ Change |  |  | % Change |  |

Percentage of net revenues |  |  | 53.7 | % |  |  | 55.1 | % |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Product gross profit decreased $0.4 million or 0.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2019. The decrease in product gross profit were primarily due to higher excess and obsolete inventory charges of $4.6 million, the expensing of the fair value step-up of inventories acquired from Aerohive of $3.9 million, amortization of developed technology intangible assets of $0.9 million and higher warranty costs of $1.0 million. This was offset by gross profit from higher revenues, more favorable manufacturing costs due to cost reduction efforts and lower integration expenses of $1.7 million.

Service gross profit increased $5.6 million or 14.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2018. The increases were primarily due to a higher level of service revenues related to the acquisition of the Aerohive, partially offset by higher service material costs and personnel costs due to increased headcount to support acquired contracts as well as amortization of developed technology intangible asset of $0.6 million.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs (which consists of compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation), consultant fees and prototype expenses related to the design, development, and testing of our products.

Research and development expenses increased by $7.9 million or 15.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2019. The increased in research and development expenses was due to $5.4 million of salary and compensation costs, $1.6 million increase related to third-party design and engineering collaboration charges, $0.2 million increased professional and contractor fees, a $0.2 million increase in travel costs and $0.5 million in increased facility and information technology costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel costs (which consists of compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation), as well as trade shows and promotional expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $3.8 million or 5.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2019. The increase was primarily due to $4.1 million of personnel costs, $1.3 million of professional fees and $0.7 million of increased facility and information technology costs partially offset by a $3.3 million reduction in travel and sales promotion costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs (which consists of compensation, benefits and stock-based compensation), legal and professional service costs, travel and facilities and information technology costs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million or 17.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the corresponding period of fiscal 2019, primarily due to the acquisition of Aerohive Inc. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to $1.4 million of increased personnel costs, $0.3 million in higher facility and information technology costs and $0.5 million in professional fees.

Acquisition and Integration Costs

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred $15.9 million of integration costs including a $6.8 million compensation charge for certain Aerohive Executives’ stock awards which were accelerated due to change-in-control and termination provisions included in the Executives’ employment contracts. Other acquisition and integration costs consist primarily of professional fees for financial and legal advisory services and severance charges for Aerohive employees.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred $2.5 million of integration costs related to the acquisitions of the Campus Fabric and Data Center Businesses.

Restructuring Charges, Net of Reversals

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 we recorded restructuring charges of $6.1 million. The charges consisted of excess facility charges of $3.9 million for impairment of right-of-use assets related to our South San Jose California and Salem New Hampshire facilities. Additionally, we continued our reduction-in-force initiative begun in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and we recorded severance and benefits charges of approximately $2.2 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded restructuring charges of $0.8 million related to a reduction-in-force associated with in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

Amortization of Intangibles

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $1.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of operating expenses for amortization of intangibles in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The decrease was mainly due to lower amortization related to the acquired intangibles from previous acquisitions becoming fully amortized offset by amortization of acquired intangibles from the Aerohive acquisition.

38

Interest Expense

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $5.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in interest expense. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by higher outstanding loan balances and other charges due to refinancing our Credit Agreement.

Other Income (Expense), Net

During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded income of $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in other income (expense), net. The change for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to foreign exchange gains and losses from the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

The income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, consisted primarily of (1) taxes on the income of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, (2) foreign withholding taxes (3) tax expense associated with the establishment of a U.S. deferred tax liability for amortizable goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Enterasys Networks, Inc., the WLAN Business, the Campus Fabric Business the Data Center Business, and (4) state taxes in jurisdictions where the Company has no remaining state Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this report are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could have reasonably used different accounting estimates, and in other instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected.

As discussed in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019, we consider the following accounting policies to be the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements:

| • | Revenue Recognition

| • | Business Combinations

| • | Inventory Valuation and Purchase Commitments

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since the filing of our last Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for a full description of new accounting pronouncements, including the respective expected dates of adoption and effects on results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following summarizes information regarding our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments and working capital (in thousands):

|  | September 30, 2019 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 131,369 |  |  | $ | 169,607 |
Short-term investments |  |  | 29,705 |  |  |  | — |
Total cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments |  | $ | 161,074 |  |  | $ | 169,607 |
Working capital |  | $ | 23,257 |  |  | $ | 85,960 |

39

As of September 30, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $161.1 million, accounts receivable, net of $152.3 million and available borrowings from our five-year 2019 Revolving Facility of $70.6 million. Our principal uses of cash include the purchase of finished goods inventory from our contract manufacturers, payroll and other operating expenses related to the development and marketing of our products, purchases of property and equipment, and repayments of debt and related interest. We believe that our $161.1 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at September 30, 2019 and the availability of borrowings from the 2019 Revolving Facility will be sufficient to fund our principal uses of cash for at least the next 12 months.

On November 2, 2018, our Board of Directors announced that it had authorized management to repurchase up to $60.0 million of its common stock for two years from the date of authorization, of which $15.0 million was used for repurchases in the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The manner, timing and amount of any future purchases will be determined by our management based on their evaluation of market conditions, stock price, Extreme’s ongoing determination that it is the best use of available cash and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate Extreme to acquire any common stock, may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice and will be subject to regulatory considerations. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we did not repurchase any shares.

In connection with the acquisition of Aerohive as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report, as of August 9, 2019, we amended the 2018 Credit Agreement and entered into the 2019 Credit Agreement, by and among us, as borrower, several banks and other financial institutions as Lenders, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as an issuing lender and swingline lender, Silicon Valley Bank, as an Issuing Lender, and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders. The 2019 Credit Agreement provides for a 5-year first lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $380 million (“2019 Term Loan”) and a 5-year revolving loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (2019 Revolving Facility”). In addition, we may request incremental term loans and/or incremental revolving loan commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of $100 million plus an unlimited amount that is subject to pro forma compliance with certain financial tests. On August 9, 2019, we used the proceeds to partially fund the acquisition of Aerohive and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

At our election, the initial term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) under the 2019 Credit Agreement may be made as either base rate loans or Eurodollar loans. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 2.50% per annum and the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans ranges from 1.25% to 3.50%, in each case based on Extreme’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio. All Eurodollar loans are subject to a Base Rate floor of 0.00%. The 2019 Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of our assets.

The 2019 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain certain minimum financial ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of our property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance.

Financial covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement require us to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge and consolidated leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter through maturity. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes covenants and restrictions that limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens upon any of our property, merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets. The 2019 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default which may result in acceleration of the outstanding balance. At September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants of the 2019 Credit Agreement.

Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operations in the three months ended September 30, 2019, were $0.2 million, including our net loss of $37.7 million and non-cash expenses of $34.1 million for items such as amortization of intangibles, amortization of right-of-use assets, stock-based compensation, depreciation, restructuring, deferred income taxes and imputed interest. Other sources of cash for the current quarter included a decrease in accounts receivables and increases in deferred revenues. This was fully offset by decreases in accounts payable, accrued compensation, other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities, and increases in inventories.

Cash flows provided by operations in the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $34.3 million, including our net loss of $9.1 million and non-cash expenses of $21.8 million for items such as amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation, depreciation, deferred income taxes and imputed interest. Other sources of cash for the quarter included a decrease in accounts receivables and inventories and increases in deferred revenues and other current and long-term liabilities. This was partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued compensation.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $209.2 million, including $219.5 million for the acquisition of Aerohive (net of cash acquired), purchases of property and equipment of $5.2 million, which was partially offset by proceeds of $15.5 million related to the maturity of short-term investments.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $6.7 million which consisted of purchases of property and equipment of $7.4 million and proceeds of $0.7 million related to the sale of marketable equity securities.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $171.4 million due primarily to additional borrowings of $199.5 million under our 2019 Credit Agreement to partially fund our acquisition of Aerohive, $4.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), the exercise of stock options and net of taxes paid on vested and released stock awards. This was partially offset by debt repayments of $20.1 million, assumed from the Aerohive acquisition, payment of loan fees of $10.5 million, contingent consideration of $0.6 million, and $1.0 million for deferred payments on acquisitions.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $8.2 million, due to repayments of debt totaling $12.4 million and $1.6 million of contingent consideration and $1.0 million for deferred payments on acquisitions. This was partially offset by $7.1 million proceeds from issuance of shares of our common stock under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), the exercise of stock options and net of taxes paid on vested and released stock awards,

Foreign Currency Effect on Cash

Foreign currency effect on cash decreased in the three months ended three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and particularly the Brazilian Real, Indian Rupee and the EURO. Foreign currency effect on cash increased in the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and particularly the Brazilian Real, British Pound, Indian Rupee and the EURO.

Contractual Obligations

41

The contractual obligations referenced above are more specifically defined as follows:

Debt obligations related to amounts owed under our 2019 Credit Agreement.

Unconditional purchase obligations represent the purchase of long lead-time component inventory that our contract manufacturers procure in accordance with our forecast. We expect to honor the inventory purchase commitments within the next 12 months.

Contractual commitments to suppliers for future services.

Non-cancelable operating lease obligations represent base rents and operating expense obligations to landlords for facilities we occupy at various locations.

Deferred payments for the acquisition of the Data Center Business represent a $1.0 million per quarter.

Contingent consideration for the Capital Financing Business acquisition, at fair value. Actual payments could be different.

Other liabilities include our commitments towards debt related fees and specific arrangements other than inventory.

The amounts in the table above exclude immaterial income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions as we are unable to reasonably estimate the timing of settlement.

We did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our financial investments and debt. We usually invest our cash in investments with short maturities or with frequent interest reset terms. Accordingly, our interest income fluctuates with short-term market conditions. As of September 30, 2019, our interest rate risk was not material for short-term investments

Debt

At certain points in time we are exposed to the impact of interest rate fluctuations, primarily in the form of variable rate borrowings from our 2019 Credit Agreement. Our debt and 2019 Credit Agreement are described in the Note 8. Debt, of our Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. At September 30, 2019, we had $380.0 million of debt outstanding, all of which was from our 2019 Credit Agreement. Through the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the average daily outstanding amount was $295.4 million with a high of $380.0 million and a low of $180.5 million.

The following table presents hypothetical changes in interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, on outstanding Credit Agreement borrowings as of September 30, 2019, that are sensitive to changes in interest rates (in thousands):

Change in interest expense given a decrease in interest rate of X bps* |  |  | Average daily |  |  | Change in interest expense given an increase in interest rate of X bps |
(100 bps) |  |  | (50 bps) |  |  | outstanding debt |  |  | 100 bps |  |  | 50 bps |
$ | (950 | ) |  | $ | (475 | ) |  | $ | 380,000 |  |  | $ | 950 |  |  | $ | 475 |

* | Underlying interest rate was 5.47% as of September 30, 2019.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity

A majority of our sales and expenses are denominated in United States Dollars. While we conduct some sales transactions and incur certain operating expenses in foreign currencies and expect to continue to do so, we do not anticipate that foreign exchange gains or losses will be significant, in part because of our foreign exchange risk management process discussed below.

42

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts

We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings as Other expense, net. From time to time, we enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the effect of gains and losses generated by the foreign currency forecast transactions related to certain operating expenses and re-measurement of certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. These derivatives do not qualify as hedges. Changes in the fair value of these foreign exchange forward contracts are offset largely by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. At September 30, 2019, we did not have any forward foreign currency contracts outstanding.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses from operations was a gain of $0.6 million and a loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On July 1, 2019, we adopted the new FASB lease standard ASC 842, which required us to change our accounting for leases. To facilitate accounting and reporting requirements related to ASC 842, we have implemented a software application for real estate and equipment lease accounting and made applicable changes to our internal controls over financial reporting around lease accounting & disclosure. In addition, we are in process of implementing a new application around revenue recognition, which is expected to go live in second quarter of fiscal 2020. This implementation would result into changes to our internal controls around revenue recognition starting second quarter of fiscal 2020.

Other than the changes discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15(d) – 15(f) during the September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our contracts and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standards related to revenue recognition to facilitate its adoption on July 1, 2017. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of this new standard.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our control system’s objective will be met and our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Extreme Networks have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Notwithstanding these limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.
