The Company and Basis of Presentation |
Note 1. | The Company and Basis of Presentation
NETGEAR, Inc. (“NETGEAR” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in January 1996. The Company is a global company that delivers innovative, advanced high-performance and premium networking technologies and Internet connected products to consumers, businesses, and service providers. The Company's products are designed to simplify and improve people’s lives. The Company's goal is to enable people to collaborate and connect to a world of information and entertainment at or outside of the home. The Company is dedicated to delivering innovative and advanced connected solutions ranging from mobile and cloud-based services for enhanced control and security, to smart networking products, audio and video over Ethernet for Pro AV applications, easy-to-use WiFi solutions and performance gaming routers to enhance console and online game play. The Company's products and services are built on a variety of technologies such as wireless (WiFi and 4G/5G mobile), Ethernet and powerline, with a focus on reliability and ease-of-use. Additionally, the Company continually invests in research and development to create new technologies and services and to capitalize on technological inflection points and trends, such as WiFi 6E, WiFi 6, 5G and audio and video over Ethernet. NETGEAR's product line consists of devices that create and extend wired and wireless networks, devices that attach to the network, such as smart digital canvasses as well as services that complement and enhance its product line offerings. These products are available in multiple configurations to address the changing needs of the Company's customers in each geographic region. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NETGEAR, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. They have been prepared in accordance with established guidelines for interim financial reporting and the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The balance sheet dated December 31, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements at such date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes typically found in the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholder's equity and cash flows for the periods indicated. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”). The Company's fiscal year begins on January 1 of the year stated and ends on December 31 of the same year. The Company reports its results on a fiscal quarter basis rather than on a calendar quarter basis. Under the fiscal quarter basis, each of the first three fiscal quarters ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter end, with the fourth quarter ending on December 31. COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 outbreak, declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has had widespread, rapidly-evolving and unpredictable impacts on the global economy, supply chain and work force participation, and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. The pandemic has impacted and is continuing to impact the Company's supply chain in its ability to timely procure finished goods due to material shortages and freight capacity, its workforce and the operations of its customers, and has led to meaningfully increased costs of freight transportation as well as resulting in increased material and component costs for our products. Continued and extended periods of global supply chain, workforce availability and economic disruption could continue to significantly affect the Company's business and statement of financial condition. The duration of the disruption from the pandemic remains uncertain due to the dynamic nature of the virus and its variants, and makes it difficult to reasonably estimate the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business operations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (iii) the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reported period. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and operating results for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20 2 1 or any future period.
