Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 28, 2026, there have been no significant changes to such policies except for the items below. Business combinations We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase consideration for business combinations is measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and includes the fair value of assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and equity interests issued, as well as the fair value of any contingent consideration arrangements. Transaction costs associated with business combinations, such as legal, accounting, and advisory fees, are expensed as incurred and included in other operating expense on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the respective acquisition dates. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition‑date fair values. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired that are not individually identifiable and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment testing at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The determination of the acquisition‑date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions related to forecasted cash flows, discount rates, expected useful lives of intangible assets, and the probability and timing of contingent payments. These estimates are based on information available as of the acquisition date and on assumptions management believes are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from those estimates. The initial accounting for business combinations may be incomplete as of the reporting date. In such cases, provisional amounts are recorded based on the best information available, and these amounts may be adjusted during the measurement period as additional information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments are recorded retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments to goodwill. The measurement period ends when we receive the information we were seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, or when it is determined that no additional information is obtainable, but shall not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Acquired intangible assets Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated respective useful lives, which is based on our expected period of benefit generally ranging from five to thirteen years. Amortization expense is recorded as cost of subscriptions and services revenue on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. Accounting pronouncements recently adopted During the six months ended June 28, 2026, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-05, Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient permitting companies to assume that conditions at the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This adoption did not have a material effect on our financial statements. Accounting pronouncements not yet effective Disclosure improvements. In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Among the various codification amendments, Topic 470 Debt is applicable to Arlo which requires the disclosure of amounts, terms and weighted-average interest rates of unused lines of credit. The effective date is either (i) the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or (ii) on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirement by that date, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this new standard will not have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures. Expense disaggregation disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement: Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which improves disclosure requirements and mandates enhanced transparency about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions in financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on our financial statements and related disclosures. Software development costs accounting and disclosure. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the recognition and capitalization framework to reflect current software development practices, including iterative and agile methodologies, by removing references to “development stages”. It also clarifies the criteria for capitalization, which begins when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted and is effective on either a prospective basis or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance may have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
