AVAYA HOLDINGS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.	Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

Avaya Holdings Corp. (the "Parent" or "Avaya Holdings"), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Avaya”), is a leading global provider of software and associated hardware and services for contact center and unified communications, offered on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution. Avaya provides the mission-critical, real-time communication applications for small businesses to large multinational enterprises and government organizations. Currently, the Company manages its business operations in two segments, Global Communications Solutions ("GCS"), representing the Company's products portfolio, and Avaya Global Services ("AGS"), representing the Company's services portfolio. The Company sells directly through its worldwide sales force and indirectly through its global network of channel partners, including distributors, service providers, dealers, value-added resellers, system integrators and business partners that provide sales and services support.

Basis of Presentation

Avaya Holdings has no material assets or standalone operations other than its ownership in Avaya Inc. and its subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2018 and for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 and the six months ended March 31, 2017, reflect the operating results of Avaya Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, included in Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Form 10 filed with the SEC on January 10, 2018. In management’s opinion, these unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods indicated. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the periods reported. These estimates include assessing the collectability of accounts receivable, sales returns and allowances, the use and recoverability of inventory, the realization of deferred tax assets, business restructuring reserves, pension and post-retirement benefit costs, the fair value of equity compensation, the fair value of assets and liabilities in connection with fresh start accounting as well as those acquired in business combinations, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets including goodwill, the amount of exposure from potential loss contingencies, and fair value measurements, among others. The markets for the Company’s products are characterized by intense competition, rapid technological development and frequent new product introductions, all of which could affect the future recoverability of the Company’s assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

On January 19, 2017 (the “Petition Date”), Avaya Holdings, together with certain of its affiliates, namely Avaya CALA Inc., Avaya EMEA Ltd., Avaya Federal Solutions, Inc., Avaya Holdings LLC, Avaya Holdings Two, LLC, Avaya Inc., Avaya Integrated Cabinet Solutions Inc., Avaya Management Services Inc., Avaya Services Inc., Avaya World Services Inc., Octel Communications LLC, Sierra Asia Pacific Inc., Sierra Communication International LLC, Technology Corporation of America, Inc., Ubiquity Software Corporation, VPNet Technologies, Inc., and Zang, Inc. (the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code’) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court’). The cases were jointly administered as Case No. 17-10089 (SMB). The Debtors operated their businesses as "debtors-in-possession" under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court until their emergence from bankruptcy on December 15, 2017.

During Chapter 11 proceedings, all expenses, gains and losses directly associated with the reorganization proceedings were reported as Reorganization items, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, Liabilities subject to compromise during Chapter 11 proceedings were distinguished from liabilities of the non-debtors and

from post-petition liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's other subsidiaries that were not part of the Bankruptcy Filing ("non-debtors") continued to operate in the ordinary course of business.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 15, 2017 (the "Emergence Date"), the Company applied fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization filed by the Debtors on October 24, 2017 and approved by the Bankruptcy Court on November 28, 2017 (the "Plan of Reorganization"), the consolidated financial statements after the Emergence Date, are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date. Upon emergence, income and expense on non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using an average rate for the period rather than the applicable spot rate. Refer to Note 4, "Fresh Start Accounting," for additional information.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared on a basis that assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the Chapter 11 proceedings, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon its ability to comply with the financial and other covenants contained in its debtor-in-possession credit agreement, the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Company's Plan of Reorganization and the Company's ability to successfully implement the Plan of Reorganization, among other factors. As a result of the execution of the Plan of Reorganization, there is no longer substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

References to "Successor" or "Successor Company" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the reorganized Avaya Holdings after the Emergence Date. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" refer to the financial position and results of operations of Avaya Holdings on or before the Emergence Date.

Revision of Prior Period Amounts

Subsequent to filing the first quarter fiscal 2018 Form 10-Q, the Company identified certain amounts that should have been recorded in the Predecessor Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 15, 2017, the Emergence Date. Such errors resulted in a $26 million understatement of cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities with a corresponding overstatement of accounts receivable. Because of the application of fresh start accounting as of December 15, 2017, Stockholders’ Equity and Goodwill were also each understated by the same amount at December 15, 2017 and December 31, 2017. These errors had no effect on the reported consolidated net income (loss) for the Predecessor and Successor periods. The Company assessed the materiality of the above errors individually and in the aggregate on the December 31, 2017 interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and, based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the errors were not material to the Company's Predecessor and Successor periods in the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 16, 2017, the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Predecessor period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017, and the notes thereto have been revised to include the effects of these errors and the cash flow reclassification as follows:

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This standard simplifies the accounting for share-based payments and their presentation in the statements of cash flows as well as the income tax effects of share-based payments. The Company adopted this standard as of October 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost." This standard changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans present net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. This amendment requires that the service cost component be disaggregated from the other components of pension and post-retirement benefit costs on the income statement. The service cost component is reported in the same line items as other compensation costs and the other components of pension and post-retirement benefit costs (including interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization and curtailments and settlements) are reported in Other expense, net in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company early adopted this accounting standard as of October 1, 2017. Changes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied retrospectively. As a result, the Company reclassified $11 million and $17 million of other pension and post-retirement benefit costs to Other expense, net for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 (Predecessor), respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Successor), the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), the Company recorded $4 million, $5 million and $(8) million, respectively, of other pension and post-retirement benefit credits (costs) in Other expense, net.

Recent Standards Not Yet Effective

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02 "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This new standard allows companies to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings any stranded tax benefits resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This standard supersedes most of the current revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and is intended to improve and converge with international standards the financial reporting requirements for revenue recognition. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. Subsequently, the FASB issued several standards that clarified certain aspects of the standard but did not change the original standard. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The ASU may be applied retrospectively (a) to each reporting period presented or (b) with the cumulative effect in retained earnings at the beginning of the adoption period.

The Company will adopt the new standard effective October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method whereby the cumulative effect is recorded to retained earnings at the beginning of the adoption period. Adoption of the standard is dependent on completion of a detailed accounting assessment, the success of the design and implementation phase for changes to the

Company's processes, internal controls and system functionality and the completion of the analysis of information necessary to assess the overall impact of adoption of this guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company continues to make progress on its accounting assessment phase and the design and implementation phases to implement the required business process and system changes to comply with the new accounting policies and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to monitor and assess the impact of changes to the standard and interpretations as they become available. The Company expects revenue recognition related to stand-alone product shipments and maintenance services to remain substantially unchanged. However, the Company continues to evaluate its preliminary conclusion and assess the impact on other sources of revenue recognition.

3. Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 Proceedings

Plan of Reorganization

On November 28, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan of Reorganization. On the Emergence Date, the Plan of Reorganization became effective and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy.

On or following the Emergence Date and pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the following occurred:


•	Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement. The Company paid in full the debtor-in-possession credit agreement (the "DIP Credit Agreement") in the amount of $725 million;


•	Predecessor Equity and Indebtedness. The Debtors' obligations under stock certificates, equity interests, and / or any other instrument or document directly or indirectly evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of, or ownership interest in, the Debtors or giving rise to any claim or equity interest were cancelled, except as provided under the Plan of Reorganization;


•	Successor Equity. The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the issuance of 605.0 million shares of Successor Company stock, consisting of 55.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 550.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 110.0 million shares of common stock were issued (as discussed below);


•	Exit Financing. The Successor Company entered into (1) a term loan credit agreement (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") for a principal amount of $2,925 million maturing on December 15, 2024, and (2) a $300 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Agreement") maturing on December 15, 2022;

•

First Lien Debt Claims. All of the Predecessor Company's outstanding obligations under the variable rate term B-3, B-4, B-6, and B-7 loans and the 7% and 9% senior secured notes (collectively, the "Predecessor first lien obligations") were cancelled, and the holders of claims under the Predecessor first lien obligations received 99.3 million shares of Successor Company common stock. In addition, the holders of the Predecessor first lien obligations received cash in the amount of $2,061 million;

•

Second Lien Debt Claims. All the Predecessor Company's outstanding obligations under the 10.50% senior secured notes (the "Predecessor second lien obligations") were cancelled, and the holders of claims under the Predecessor second lien obligations received 4.4 million shares of Successor Company common stock. In addition, holders of the Predecessor second lien obligations received warrants to purchase 5.6 million shares of Successor Company common stock at an exercise price of $25.55 per warrant (the "Warrants");


•	Claims of Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"). The Predecessor Company's outstanding obligations under the Avaya Inc. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees ("APPSE") were terminated and transferred to the PBGC. The PBGC received 6.1 million shares of Successor Company common stock and $340 million in cash; and

•

General Unsecured Claims. Holders of the Predecessor Company's general unsecured claims will receive their pro rata share of the general unsecured recovery pool. A liquidating trust was established in the amount of $58 million for the benefit of the general unsecured claims. Included in the 110.0 million Successor Company common stock issued are 0.2 million additional shares of common stock that have been issued (but are not outstanding) for the benefit of the general unsecured creditors. The general unsecured creditors will receive a total of $58 million in cash and common stock. Any excess cash and / or common stock not distributed to the general unsecured creditors will be distributed to the holders of the Predecessor first lien obligations.

Section 363 Asset Sales

In July 2017, the Company sold its networking business ("Networking" or the "Networking business") to Extreme Networks, Inc. ("Extreme"). The Networking business was comprised primarily of certain assets of the Company's Networking segment (which prior to the sale was a separate operating segment), along with the maintenance and professional services of the

Networking business, which were part of the AGS segment. Under a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"), the Company provides administrative services to Extreme for process support, maintenance services and product logistics on a fee basis. While the TSA can expire sooner, the agreement terminates after 2 years.

4. Fresh Start Accounting

In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 852, "Reorganizations" ("ASC 852"), the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on the Emergence Date. The Company was required to use fresh start accounting since (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company's assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

ASC 852 prescribes that with the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, "Business Combinations". The reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company's assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after December 15, 2017 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date.

As discussed in Note 1 "Revision of Prior Period Amounts", prior period amounts as reported have been revised, where applicable.

Reorganization Value

As set forth in the Plan of Reorganization, the agreed upon enterprise value of the Company was $5,721 million. This value is within the initial range calculated by the Company of approximately $5,100 million to approximately $7,100 million using an income approach. The $5,721 million enterprise value was selected as it was the transaction price agreed to in the global settlement agreement with the Company’s creditor constituencies, including the PBGC. The reorganization value was then determined by adding liabilities other than interest bearing debt, pension obligations, and the deferred tax impact of the reorganization and fresh start adjustments.

The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated fair value of the Successor stockholders' equity as of the Emergence Date:



(In millions, except per share amount)	As Previously Reported			Adjustments		Revised

Successor common stock value per share	$	14.93		$	0.23	$	15.16


⁽¹⁾	The fair value of the Term Loan Credit Agreement was determined based on a market approach utilizing market-clearing data on the valuation date in addition to bid/ask prices and was estimated to be 99% of par value.


⁽²⁾	The following assumptions were used when measuring the fair value of the U.S. pension, non-U.S. pension, and post-retirement benefit plans: weighted-average return on assets of 7.75%, 3.80% and 5.90%, and weighted-average discount rate to measure plan obligations of 3.70%, 1.52% and 3.77%, respectively.


⁽³⁾	The fair value of the Warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton ("Black-Scholes") pricing model.

The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the estimated reorganization value as of the Emergence Date:



(In millions)	As Previously Reported			Adjustments		Revised
Enterprise value	$	5,721		$	—	$	5,721

Fresh Start Adjustments

At the Emergence Date, the Company met the requirements under ASC 852 for fresh start accounting as (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company's assets immediately prior to confirmation was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. These adjustments reflect actual amounts recorded as of the Emergence Date.


21.	Accounts Receivable. This adjustment relates to a change in accounting policy for the way the Company will present uncollected deferred revenue upon emergence from bankruptcy. The Company will offset such deferred revenue against the related account receivable.


22.	Inventory. This adjustment relates to the write-up of inventory to fair value based on estimated selling prices, less costs of disposal.


23.	Other Current Assets. This adjustment reflects the write-off of certain prepaid commissions, deferred installation costs and debt issuance costs that do not meet the definition of an asset upon emergence.


24.	Property, Plant and Equipment. An adjustment of $116 million was recorded to increase the net book value of property, plant and equipment to its estimated fair value based on estimated current acquisition price, plus costs to make the property fully operational.

The following table reflects the components of property, plant and equipment, net as of December 15, 2017:



(In millions)
Buildings and improvements	$	82
Machinery and equipment	38
Rental equipment	85
Assets under construction	13
Internal use software	92
Total property, plant and equipment	310
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization	—
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	310


25.	Deferred Income Tax. The adjustment represents the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries which management believes more likely than not will be realized as a result of future taxable income from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities that were established as part of fresh start accounting.


26.	Intangible Assets. The Company recorded an adjustment to intangible assets for $3,137 million as follows:



	Successor		Predecessor
(In millions)	December 16, 2017 Post-emergence		December 15, 2017 Pre-emergence		Difference
Customer relationships and other intangible assets	$	2,155	$	96	$	2,059
Technology and patents	905		12		893
Trademarks and trade names	375		190		185
Total	$	3,435	$	298	$	3,137

The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the excess earnings method, a derivation of the income approach that calculates residual profit attributable to an asset after proper returns are paid to complementary or contributory assets.

The fair value of technology and patents and trademarks and trade names determined using the royalty savings method, a derivation of the income approach that estimates the royalties saved through ownership of the assets.

27.Goodwill. Predecessor goodwill of $3,541 million was eliminated and Successor goodwill of $2,658 million was established based on the calculated reorganization value.



(In millions)	As Previously Reported			Adjustments		Revised
Reorganization value of Successor Company	$	7,583		$	26	$	7,609
Less: Fair value of Successor Company assets	(4,951		)	—		(4,951		)
Reorganization value of Successor Company assets in excess of fair value - goodwill	$	2,632		$	26	$	2,658


28.	Other Assets. The $27 million decrease to other assets is related to prepaid commissions that do not meet the definition of an asset upon emergence as there is no future benefit to the Successor Company.

29.

Deferred Revenue. The fair value of deferred revenue, which principally relates to payments on annual maintenance contracts, was determined by deducting selling costs and associated profit from the Predecessor deferred revenue balance to arrive at the costs and profit associated with fulfilling the liability. Additionally, the decrease includes the impact of an accounting policy change whereby the Successor Company no longer recognizes deferred revenue relating to sales transactions that have been billed, but for which the related account receivable has not yet been collected.


30.	Other Current Liabilities. The decrease of $3 million to other current liabilities is related to the fair value of real estate leases determined to be above or below market using the income approach based on the difference between the contractual rental rate and the estimated market rental rate, discounted utilizing a risk-related discount rate.


31.	Long-term Debt. The fair value of the Term Loan Credit Agreement was determined based on a market approach utilizing market-clearing data on the valuation date in addition to bid/ask prices.

32.

Deferred Income Taxes. The adjustment represents the establishment of deferred tax liabilities related to book/tax differences created by fresh start accounting adjustments. The amount is net of the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, which management believes more likely than not will be realized as a result of future taxable income from the reversal of such deferred tax liabilities.


33.	Business Restructuring Reserve. The Company recorded an increase to its non-current business restructuring reserves based on estimated future cash flows applied to a current discount rate at emergence.


34.	Other Liabilities. A decrease in other liabilities of $43 million relates to deferred revenue and real estate leases as previously discussed.


35.	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The remaining balance in Accumulated comprehensive loss was reversed to Reorganization expenses, net.


36.	Fresh Start Adjustments. The following table reflects the cumulative impact of the fresh start adjustments as discussed above, the elimination of the Predecessor Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss and the adjustments required to eliminate accumulated deficit.

5. Business Combinations

Spoken Communications

On March 9, 2018 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired Intellisist, Inc. (“Spoken”), a United States-based private technology company, which provides cloud-based Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solutions and customer experience management applications. The total purchase price was $173 million, consisting of $158 million in cash, $14 million in contingent consideration and settlement of Spoken’s net payable to the Company of $1 million. Prior to the acquisition, the Company and Spoken had been working in a co-development partnership for more than a year pursuant to which the Company had recorded a net receivable from Spoken for services provided.

Upon the achievement of three specified performance targets ("Earn-outs"), the Company may be required to pay up to $16 million of contingent consideration to Spoken's former owners and employees and up to $4 million in discretionary earn-out bonuses ("Earn-out Bonuses") to Spoken employees who are believed to have contributed to the achievement of the Earn-outs. The fair value of the Earn-outs at the Acquisition Date was $14 million, which was calculated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model and will be remeasured to fair value at each subsequent reporting period. The Earn-out Bonuses, which are intended to incentivize remaining employees to assist in achieving the Earn-outs, are excluded from the acquisition consideration and will be recognized as compensation expense in the Company's consolidated financial statements ratably over the estimated Earn-out periods.

The Company recorded goodwill of $122 million, which has been assigned to the GCS segment, identifiable intangible assets with a fair value of $64 million, and other net liabilities of $13 million. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the potential that the Spoken technology, cloud platform and assembled workforce will accelerate the Company's growth in cloud-based solutions. The Company has determined that the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to revision as additional information regarding the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired becomes available. Additional information that existed at the Acquisition Date that was unknown may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, a period not to exceed twelve months from the Acquisition Date. Adjustments in the purchase price allocation may require changes to certain assets and liabilities retroactive to the period in which the acquisition occurred. Any effects on earnings as a result of these potential changes would be calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the Acquisition Date and recognized in the reporting period the adjustments were identified.

The acquired intangible assets of $64 million include technology and patents of $61 million with a weighted average useful life of 4.9 years for all technology assets except in-process research & development ("IPR&D") activities, which are considered indefinite lived until projects are completed or abandoned, and customer relationships of $3 million with a weighted average useful life of 7.5 years.

The Company recorded $2 million of acquisition-related costs, which include investment banking, legal and other third-party costs and $5 million of compensation expense resulting from the accelerated vesting of certain unvested Spoken stock option awards because post-combination service requirements were eliminated.

Spoken became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, whose unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial results of the operations of Spoken beginning on March 9, 2018. The operating results of Spoken from March 9, 2018 through March 31, 2018 were immaterial.


6.	Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with GAAP at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the Company’s operating segments. The Company performs impairment testing annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances changed during the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any of the Company's reporting units below their respective carrying amounts. However, if conditions deteriorate or there is a change in the business, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

The Company adjusted the carrying value of goodwill upon application of fresh start accounting.

As discussed in Note 1 "Revision of Prior Period Amounts", prior period amounts as reported have been revised, where applicable.

The carrying value of goodwill by operating segments for the periods indicated was as follows:

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include technology, customer relationships, trademarks and trade-names and other intangibles. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from one year to nineteen years.

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

Intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized. The Company performs impairment testing annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The Avaya trade name is expected to generate cash flow indefinitely. Consequently, this asset is classified as an indefinite-lived intangible.

The Company determined that no events had occurred or circumstances changed during the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) that would indicate that its long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, may not be recoverable or that it is more likely than not that its intangible assets with indefinite lives are impaired. However, if conditions deteriorate or there is a change in the business, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.

The Company adjusted the carrying value of intangible assets upon application of fresh start accounting.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization by major intangible asset category as of March 31, 2018 (Successor) and September 30, 2017 (Predecessor) were as follows:



	Successor

Accumulated Impairment	—			—			(355		)	(355		)
Net	$	16		$	105		$	190		$	311

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $81 million, $95 million and $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Successor), the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $62 million and $124 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 (Predecessor), respectively.

Amortizable technology and patents have useful lives that range between 1 year and 10 years with a weighted average remaining useful life of 5.4 years. IPR&D activities are considered indefinite-lived until projects are completed or abandoned. Customer relationships have useful lives that range between 1 year and 19 years with a weighted average remaining useful life of 14.3 years. Amortizable product trade names have useful lives of 10 years with weighted average remaining useful life of 9.7 years. The Avaya trade name is expected to generate cash flows indefinitely and, consequently, this asset is classified as an indefinite-lived intangible.

Future amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets as of March 31, 2018 is as follows:

8.	Business Restructuring Reserves and Programs

For the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), the Company recognized restructuring charges of $50 million and $14 million, respectively, including adjustments to the restructuring programs of prior fiscal years primarily consisting of the termination/buyout of leases. As the Company continues to evaluate opportunities to streamline its operations, it may identify cost savings globally and take additional restructuring actions in the future and the costs of those actions could be material.

Fiscal 2018 Restructuring Program

Recognized restructuring charges for fiscal 2018 restructuring programs included employee separation costs associated with employee severance actions primarily in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), the U.S. and Asia-Pacific ("APAC"), for which the related payments are expected to be completed by the beginning of fiscal 2025. The separation charges include, but are not limited to, termination payments, pension fund payments, and health care and unemployment insurance costs to be paid to, or on behalf of, the affected employees. Lease obligation charges were also incurred in connection with the termination of certain U.S. real estate leases.

The following table summarizes the components of the fiscal 2018 restructuring program for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor):

Fiscal 2017 Restructuring Program

During fiscal 2017, the Company identified opportunities to streamline operations and generate costs savings, which included eliminating employee positions. These obligations are primarily for employee separation costs associated with fiscal 2017 employee severance actions in the U.S. and EMEA, for which the related payments are expected to be completed in fiscal 2023. The separation charges include, but are not limited to, pension fund payments and health care and unemployment insurance costs to be paid to, or on behalf of, the affected employees.

The following table summarizes the components of the fiscal 2017 restructuring program for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor):

Successor Financing

On the Emergence Date, Avaya Inc. entered into (i) the Term Loan Credit Agreement among Avaya Inc., as borrower, Avaya Holdings, the lending institutions from time to time party thereto, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provided a $2,925 million term loan facility maturing on December 15, 2024 and (ii) the ABL Credit Agreement maturing on December 15, 2022, among Avaya Inc., as borrower, Avaya Holdings, the several other borrowers party thereto, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provided a revolving credit facility consisting of a U.S. tranche and a foreign tranche allowing for borrowings of up to an aggregate principal amount of $300 million from time to time, subject to borrowing base availability (the ABL Credit Agreement together with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”). The Term Loan Credit Agreement, in the case of ABR Loans, bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 3.75% plus the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the U.S. prime rate as publicly announced in the Wall Street Journal and (iii) the London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR Rate") for an interest period of one month and in the case of LIBOR Loans, bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.75% plus the applicable LIBOR rate, subject to a 1.0% floor. The ABL Credit Agreement bears interest:


1.	In the case of Base Rate Loans denominated in U.S. dollars, at a rate per annum equal to 0.75% (subject to a 0.25% step-up or step-down based on availability) plus the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the U.S. prime rate as publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. and (iii) the LIBOR Rate for an interest period of one month;

In the case of Canadian Prime Rate Loans denominated in Canadian dollars, at a rate per annum equal to 0.75% (subject to a 0.25% step-up or step-down based on availability) plus the highest of (i) the “Base Rate” as publicly announced by Citibank, N.A., Canadian branch and (ii) the rate of interest per annum equal to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar Bankers Rate ("CDOR Rate") for an interest period of 30 days;


4.	In the case of CDOR Rate Loans denominated in Canadian dollars, at a rate per annum equal to 1.75% (subject to a 0.25% step-up or step-down based on availability) plus the applicable CDOR Rate;


5.	In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Sterling, at a rate per annum equal to 1.75% (subject to a 0.25% step-up or step-down based on availability) plus the applicable LIBOR Rate;

The Credit Agreements limit, among other things, Avaya Inc.’s ability to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens, (iii) dispose of assets, (iv) make investments, (v) make dividends, or conduct redemptions and repurchases of capital stock, (vi) prepay junior indebtedness or amend junior indebtedness documents, (vii) enter into restricted agreements, (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates and (ix) modify the terms of any of its organizational documents.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement does not contain any financial covenants. The ABL Credit Agreement does not contain any financial covenants other than a requirement to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1:1 that becomes applicable only in the event that the net borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Agreement is less than the greater of $25 million and 10% of the lesser of the total borrowing base and the ABL commitments (commonly known as the "line cap").

As of March 31, 2018, the Company was not in default under any of its debt agreements.

Under the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement, the Company can issue letters of credit up to $150 million. At March 31, 2018, the Company had issued and outstanding letters of credit and guarantees of $50 million. The aggregate additional principal amount that may be borrowed under the ABL Credit Agreement, based on the borrowing base less $50 million of outstanding letters of credit and guarantees, was $213 million at March 31, 2018.

The weighted average contractual interest rate of the Company’s outstanding debt as of March 31, 2018 was 6.5%.

Predecessor Financing

Debt Covenants and Default. The indentures governing the Predecessor senior secured notes contained a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restricted the ability of the Predecessor and certain of its subsidiaries to (a) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue or sell certain preferred stock, (b) pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase capital stock, (c) make certain acquisitions or investments, (d) incur or assume certain liens, (e) enter into transactions with affiliates, (f) merge or consolidate with another company, (g) transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, (h) redeem subordinated

debt, (i) incur obligations that restricted the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Company, and (j) create or designate unrestricted subsidiaries. They also contained customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

The Bankruptcy Filing constituted an event of default that accelerated the Predecessor’s payment obligations under the senior secured credit agreements and the senior secured notes. As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the principal and interest due under the Predecessor’s debt agreements became due and payable. However, any efforts to enforce such payment obligations were automatically stayed as a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement were subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Consequently, all debt outstanding was classified as liabilities subject to compromise and all unamortized debt issuance costs and unaccreted debt discounts were expensed.

DIP Credit Agreement. In connection with the Bankruptcy Filing, on the Petition Date, the Predecessor entered into the DIP Credit Agreement, which provided a $725 million term loan facility due January 2018, and a cash collateralized letter of credit facility in an aggregate amount equal to $150 million. All letters of credit were cash collateralized in an amount equal to 101.5% of the face amount of such letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars and 103% of the face amount of letters of credit denominated in alternative currencies. The DIP Credit Agreement, in the case of the Base Rate Loans, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to 6.5% plus the highest of (i) Citibank, N.A.’s prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate for an interest period of one month, subject to a 2% floor, and in the case of the Eurocurrency Loans, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to 7.5% plus the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, subject to a 1% floor.

Capital Lease Obligations

Included in other liabilities is $19 million and $14 million of capital lease obligations, net of imputed interest as of March 31, 2018 (Successor) and September 30, 2017 (Predecessor), respectively, and excluded amounts included in liabilities subject to compromise of $12 million as of September 30, 2017.

The Company outsources certain delivery services associated with the Avaya Private Cloud Services business. That agreement also included the sale of specified assets owned by the Company, which are being leased-back by the Company and accounted for as a capital lease. As of March 31, 2018 (Successor) and September 30, 2017 (Predecessor), capital lease obligations associated with this agreement were $18 million and $24 million, respectively, and include $10 million within liabilities subject to compromise as of September 30, 2017.


10.	Derivative Warrant Liability

In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, on the Emergence Date the Company issued Warrants to purchase 5,645,200 shares of Successor common stock to the holders of the Predecessor second lien obligations pursuant to a warrant agreement. Each Warrant has an exercise price of $25.55 per share and expires December 15, 2022. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging." The Warrants contain certain derivative features that require the Warrants to be classified as a liability and for changes in fair value of the liability to be recognized in earnings each reporting period. The Successor Company had no other derivative instruments at March 31, 2018.

As discussed in Note 1 "Revision of Prior Period Amounts", prior period amounts as reported have been revised, where applicable.

The fair value of the Warrants was determined using a probability weighted Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires certain input assumptions including risk-free interest rates, volatility, expected life and dividend rates. Selection of these inputs involves significant judgment.

The fair value of the Warrants on the Emergence Date and as of March 31, 2018, and recorded in Long-term liabilities - Other in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the input assumptions summarized below.



			As Previously Reported		Revised
	March 31, 2018		December 15, 2017		December 15, 2017
Expected volatility	49.10	%	54.57	%	54.38	%
Risk free interest rates	2.52	%	2.20	%	2.20	%
Expected remaining life (in years)	4.72		5.00		5.00
Price per share of common stock	$22.40		$14.93		$15.16

No additional Warrants were issued since the Emergence Date, nor have any Warrants been exercised during this time.

The change in fair value is presented below:



(In millions)
Fair value of the liability for Warrants as of December 16, 2017 (Successor)	$	17
Change in fair value	15
Fair value of the liability for Warrants as of March 31, 2018 (Successor)	$	32

Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss of $10 million and $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor), respectively, related to the change in fair value of the liability for Warrants. The fair value loss was recognized in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.


11.	Fair Value Measures

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.

Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Asset and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2018 (Successor) and September 30, 2017 (Predecessor) were as follows:



	Successor
	March 31, 2018
	Fair Value Measurements Using
(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Other Non-Current Assets:
Investments	$	2	$	2	$	—	$	—
Other Non-Current Liabilities:
Warrants	$	32	$	—	$	—	$	32

	Fair Value Measurements Using
(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Other Non-Current Assets:
Investments	$	1	$	1	$	—	$	—

Investments

Investments classified as Level 1 assets are priced using quoted market prices for identical assets in active markets that are observable.

Warrants

Warrants classified as Level 3 liabilities are priced using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The change in fair value of the Warrants is recognized in Other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The estimated fair values of amounts borrowed under the Company’s financing arrangements at March 31, 2018 (Successor) and September 30, 2017 (Predecessor) were estimated based on a Level 2 input based on a market approach utilizing market-clearing data on the valuation date in addition to bid/ask prices.

The estimated fair values of the amounts borrowed under the Company’s financing agreements at March 31, 2018 (Successor) and September 30, 2017 (Predecessor) are as follows:



	Successor				Predecessor
	March 31, 2018				September 30, 2017
(In millions)	Principal Amount		Fair Value		Principal Amount		Fair Value
Term Loan Credit Agreement due December 15, 2024	$	2,918	$	2,940	$	—	$	—
DIP Credit Agreement due January 19, 2018	—		—		725		732

Total	$	2,918	$	2,940	$	6,557	$	4,525

The Company adjusted the carrying value of debt to fair value upon application of fresh start accounting.


12.	Income Taxes

For the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the provision that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) losses generated within certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit was recorded because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (3) non-U.S. withholding taxes on foreign earnings, (4) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions, (5) U.S. state and local income taxes, and (6) the impact of reorganization and fresh start adjustments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor), the difference between the Company’s recorded benefit and the benefit that would result from applying the new U.S. statutory rate of 24.5%, is primarily attributable to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) losses generated within certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit was recorded because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (3) non-U.S. withholding taxes on foreign earnings, (4) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions, (5) U.S. state and local income taxes, and (6) the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”), as more fully described below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Predecessor) and the six months ended March 31, 2017 (Predecessor), the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the benefit that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) changes in the valuation allowance established against the Company’s deferred tax assets, and (3) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions.

Under the Plan of Reorganization a substantial amount of the Company’s debt was extinguished. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes cancellation of indebtedness income (“CODI”) upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that a debtor in a bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from taxable income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI recognized as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The amount of CODI recognized by a taxpayer is the adjusted issue price of any indebtedness discharged less the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid, (ii) the issue price of any new indebtedness issued and (iii) the fair market value of any other consideration, including equity, issued. The reduction in tax attributes does not occur until the first day of the Company’s first tax year subsequent to the date of emergence, which is October 1, 2018. The Company estimates that the U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credits disclosed in its September 30, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the tax loss generated during the September 30, 2018 tax year will be entirely eliminated on October 1, 2018. The Company estimates that $189 million of the tax loss generated during the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) will be absorbed by taxable income generated during the period from December 16, 2017 through September 30, 2018 (Successor). These estimates are subject to revision and any changes in the estimates will affect income or loss from continuing operations in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018.

Prior to September 30, 2017, a full valuation allowance was established in any jurisdiction that had a net deferred tax asset. A portion of the U.S. valuation allowance in the amount of $787 million was reversed as part of the reorganization adjustments as it was previously established against (i) the NOL and tax credits which will be eliminated as a result of the CODI rules and (ii) other deferred tax assets that were previously established for liabilities that were discharged in the Plan of Reorganization and eliminated as part of the reorganization adjustments. The valuation allowance in the amount of $47 million was reversed in certain non U.S. jurisdictions as part of the reorganization adjustments as management concluded it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets will be realized. The remaining U.S. valuation allowance in the amount of $461 million was reversed as part of the fresh start adjustments because management concluded it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized primarily due to future sources of taxable income that will be generated by the reversal of deferred tax liabilities established in the fresh start adjustments.

On December 22, 2017, the Act was signed into law. The Act lowered the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Corporations with a fiscal year-end that is not a calendar year but includes January 1, 2018 are subject to a blended tax rate based on the number of days in the fiscal year before and after January 1, 2018. The Company has a September 30^th tax year-end and therefore the U.S. federal tax rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 is 24.5%.

The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) on December 22, 2017, which provided guidance to registrants on the accounting for tax related impacts under the Act. The guidance provides a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date for companies to complete the tax accounting implications of the Act. As of the first quarter, the Company has provided a provisional estimate related to the revaluation of its deferred taxes and the deemed repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings. The Company will continue to refine its estimate, which could result in a material adjustment, given additional guidance under the Act, interpretations, available information and assumptions made by the Company. As a fiscal year-end tax filer, we are subject to various provisions under the Act for fiscal 2018, including the change to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the mandatory deemed repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings. Beginning in the Company's 2019 fiscal year, various other newly enacted provisions will become effective, including provisions that may result in the current U.S. taxation of certain income earned by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The FASB has published guidance (Topic 740, No. 5), regarding how to account for the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions included in the Act. The guidance states that a company may make a policy decision with respect to the accounting for taxes related to GILTI and whether deferred taxes should be established. The Company estimates that it will generate income that may be taxed as GILTI beginning in fiscal 2019. On a provisional basis, no deferred taxes have been established for GILTI as of March 31, 2018.

The Company does not expect to incur a cash tax liability with respect to the one-time tax on foreign earnings due to historical foreign deficits. The Company previously established a deferred tax liability for non-U.S. withholding taxes to be incurred upon the remittance of foreign earnings. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Predecessor and Successor periods include an adjustment for such withholding taxes attributable to current period earnings. In prior periods, the Company established a U.S. deferred income tax liability for certain foreign earnings under the assumption that such earnings would be remitted to the U.S. This deferred tax liability has been adjusted in the Successor period based on the taxation of such earnings under the Act.

A net deferred tax liability was established at the U.S. federal tax rates in effect on December 15, 2017 as part of fresh start accounting for U.S. book-to-tax differences. These deferred taxes are primarily related to differences arising from recording intangible and other assets at fair market value. As of the December 22, 2017 enactment date of the Act, deferred taxes were adjusted to reflect the new tax rates in effect as of the date the deferred tax amounts are expected to be realized.

The provisional amount of the reduction to the net deferred tax liability as a result of the Act is $242 million and has been recorded as an income tax benefit from continuing operations in the Successor period.


13.	Benefit Obligations

The Company sponsors non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering a portion of its U.S. employees and retirees, and post-retirement benefit plans covering a portion of its U.S. retirees that include healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage. Certain non-U.S. operations have various retirement benefit programs covering substantially all of their employees. Some of these programs are considered to be defined benefit pension plans for accounting purposes.

Effective January 25, 2018, the Company and the Communications Workers of America (“CWA”) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”), agreed to extend the 2009 Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”), previously extended through June 14, 2018, until September 21, 2019. The contract extensions did not affect the Company’s obligation for pension and post-retirement benefits available to U.S. employees of the Company who are represented by the CWA or IBEW (“represented employees”).

In September 2015, the Company amended the post-retirement medical plan for represented retirees effective January 1, 2017, to replace medical coverage through the Company’s group plan for represented retirees who are retired as of October 15, 2015 and their eligible dependents, with medical coverage through the private and public insurance marketplace. The change allows the existing retirees to choose insurance from the marketplace and receive financial support from the Company toward the cost of coverage through a Health Reimbursement Arrangement ("HRA").

On December 15, 2017, the APPSE, a qualified pension plan, was settled with the PBGC. At that time, the Company and the PBGC executed a termination and trusteeship agreement to terminate the APPSE and to appoint the PBGC as the statutory trustee of the plan. The Company also paid settlement consideration to the PBGC consisting of $340 million in cash and 6.1 million shares of Successor Company common stock (fair value of $92 million). With this payment, any accrued but unpaid minimum funding contributions due were deemed to have been paid in full. As a result of the plan termination on December 15, 2017, the Company's projected benefit obligation and pension trust assets were reduced by $2,192 million and $1,573 million, respectively. Including the settlement consideration and $703 million of Accumulated other comprehensive loss recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, a settlement loss of $516 million was recorded in Reorganization items, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

On December 15, 2017, the unfunded ASPP, a non-qualified excess benefit pension plan, was also terminated and settled. Benefit liabilities for ASPP participants were included as allowed claims in the general unsecured recovery pool. Settlement consideration of $17 million in the form of allowed claims payable to ASPP participants was estimated based upon claims data as of the Emergence Date as amounts due to individual general unsecured creditors had not been finalized and paid. As a result of the termination, the Company's projected benefit obligation was reduced by $88 million. Including the settlement consideration and $18 million of Accumulated other comprehensive loss recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, a settlement gain of $53 million was recorded in Reorganization items, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's general funding policy with respect to its U.S. qualified pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy the minimum amount required by applicable laws and regulations, or to directly pay benefits where appropriate. As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing in January 2017, there was an automatic stay on the Company's contributions to the U.S. pension plans during fiscal 2017. Therefore, the minimum funding requirements for the U.S. pension plans were not met during fiscal 2017.

The Plan of Reorganization included contributions to or settlements of all U.S. pension plans, which are the Avaya Pension Plan for Represented Employees ("APP"), the APPSE and the ASPP. On December 15, 2017, the Company paid the aggregate unpaid required minimum funding for the APP, a qualified plan, of $49 million.

Remeasurement as a result of fresh start accounting increased the APP and other post-retirement benefit plan obligations by $3 million on December 15, 2017.

The Company made $10 million in contributions to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements for its U.S funded defined benefit pension plans for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and no contributions to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements for its U.S. funded defined benefit pension plans for the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), exclusive of the payments discussed above as part of the Plan of Reorganization for the APP and settlement consideration to the PBGC for the APPSE. Estimated payments to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2018 are $32 million.

The Company provides for certain pension benefits for non-U.S. employees, the majority of which are not pre-funded. The Company made payments for these non-U.S. pension benefits for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) totaling $15 million and $3 million, respectively. Estimated payments for these non-U.S. pension benefits for the remainder of fiscal 2018 are $10 million.

During the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor) and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor), the Company contributed $0 million and $2 million, respectively, to the represented employees’ post-retirement health trust to fund current benefit claims and costs of administration in compliance with the terms of the CBA, as extended through September 21, 2019. Estimated payments under the terms of the 2009 agreement as extended are $6 million for the remainder of fiscal 2018.

14. Share-based Compensation

The Predecessor Company's common and preferred stock were cancelled and new common stock was issued on the Emergence Date. Accordingly, the Predecessor Company's then existing share-based compensation awards were also cancelled, which resulted in the recognition of any previously unamortized expense on the date of cancellation. Share-based compensation for the Successor and Predecessor periods are not comparable.

Successor

Pursuant to terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the Avaya Holdings Corp. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan ("2017 Equity Incentive Plan") became effective on the Emergence Date.

The Successor Company's Board of Directors or any committee duly authorized thereby will administer the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. The administrator has broad authority to, among other things: (i) select participants; (ii) determine the types of awards that participants are to receive and the number of shares that are to be granted under such awards; and (iii) establish the terms and conditions of awards, including the price to be paid for the shares or the award.

Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan include non-employee directors, employees of the Successor Company or any of its affiliates, and certain consultants and advisors to the Successor Company or any of its affiliates. The types of awards that may be granted under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan include stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other forms of awards granted or denominated in shares of Successor common stock, as well as certain cash-based awards.

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued or granted under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan is 7,381,609 shares. If any option or other stock-based award granted under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan expires, terminates or is cancelled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of shares of common stock underlying any unexercised award will again be available for the purpose of awards under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. If any shares of restricted stock, performance awards or other stock-based awards denominated in shares of common stock awarded under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to a participant are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares of restricted stock, performance awards or other stock-based awards denominated in shares of common stock will again be available for purposes of awards under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Any award under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan settled in cash will not be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations. Shares withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the applicable exercise price or withholding taxes upon the issuance, vesting or settlement of awards, in each case, shall not be available for future issuance under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan.

The aggregate grant date fair value of all awards granted to any non-employee director during any calendar year (excluding awards made pursuant to deferred compensation arrangements made in lieu of all or a portion of cash retainers and any dividends payable in respect of outstanding awards) may not exceed $750,000.

On the Emergence Date, share-based compensation awards granted by the Company consisted of 3,440,528 restricted stock units and 1,146,835 stock options to executives and other employees. The awards are subject to time-based vesting.

The fair value of the premium-priced stock options granted on the Emergence Date was determined using a lattice option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to value Successor stock options for all options granted thereafter. The valuation assumptions include the following: (1) expected term based on the vesting terms of the option and a contractual life of ten years; (2) volatility based on peer group companies adjusted for the Company's leverage; (3) risk-free rate based on U.S. Treasury yields with a term equal to the expected option term; and (4) dividend yield assumed to be zero as the Company does not anticipate paying dividends.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted 323,332 restricted stock units and 81,550 non-qualified stock options.

Following the aforementioned grants and as of March 31, 2018, there were 2,507,864 shares remaining under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan available to be granted.

Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 was $5 million and $6 million, respectively. As of the Emergence Date, forfeitures are accounted for as incurred.

Predecessor

Prior to the Emergence Date, the Predecessor Company had granted share-based awards that were cancelled upon emergence from bankruptcy. In conjunction with the cancellation, the Predecessor Company accelerated the unrecognized share-based compensation expense and recorded $3 million of compensation expense in the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 principally in reorganization costs.

Share-based compensation expense recorded for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 was $4 million and $6 million, respectively.

15. Capital Stock

Successor

Preferred Stock. The Successor Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue up to 55.0 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of March 31, 2018, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Common Stock. The Successor Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes it to issue up to 550.0 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of March 31, 2018, there were 110.0 million shares issued and 109.8 million outstanding.

Predecessor

In connection with the Company's Plan of Reorganization and emergence from bankruptcy, all equity interests in the Predecessor Company were cancelled, including preferred and common stock, warrants and equity-based awards.

16. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

All outstanding shares of common stock and common stock equivalents of the Predecessor Company were cancelled pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.

The Successor Company issued 110.0 million shares of common stock of which 109.8 million shares were outstanding at March 31, 2018.

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if equity awards granted under the various share-based compensation plans were vested or exercised resulting in the issuance of common shares that would participate in the earnings of the Company.

The following table sets forth the calculation of net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders and the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share for the periods indicated:



	Successor			Predecessor			Successor			Predecessor

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company excluded 1.1 million stock options, 3.5 million restricted stock units, and 5.6 million warrants to purchase common stock from the diluted earnings per share calculations as their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018, the Company excluded 1.1 million stock options, 0.1 million restricted stock units, and 5.6 million warrants to purchase common stock from the diluted earnings per share calculations as their effect would be anti-dilutive.


17.	Operating Segments

On July 14, 2017, the Company sold its Networking business to Extreme. Prior to the sale, the Company had three separate operating segments. After the sale, the Company has two operating segments, GCS representing the Company's products portfolio and AGS representing the Company's services portfolio. Both GCS and Networking made up the Company’s Enterprise Collaboration Solutions ("ECS") products portfolio.

The GCS segment primarily develops, markets, and sells unified communications and contact center solutions, offered on premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid solution. These integrate multiple forms of communications, including telephony, e-mail, instant messaging and video. The AGS segment develops, markets and sells comprehensive end-to-end global service offerings that enable customers to evaluate, plan, design, implement, monitor, manage and optimize even complex enterprise

communications networks. The Networking segment portfolio of software and hardware products offered integrated networking products.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker makes financial decisions and allocates resources based on segment profit information obtained from the Company’s internal management systems. Management does not include in its segment measures of profitability selling, general, and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, amortization of intangible assets, and certain discrete items, such as charges relating to restructuring actions, impairment charges, and merger-related costs as these costs are not core to the measurement of segment performance, but rather are controlled at the corporate level.

Summarized financial information relating to the Company’s operating segments is shown in the following table for the periods indicated:

No fees were paid to the Predecessor Sponsors in the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor).

20. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

General

The Company records accruals for legal contingencies to the extent that it has concluded it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. No estimate of the possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued, if any, can be made at this time regarding the matters specifically described below because the inherently unpredictable nature of legal proceedings may be exacerbated by various factors, including: (i) the damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; (ii) discovery is not complete; (iii) the proceeding is in its early stages; (iv) the matters present legal uncertainties; (v) there are significant facts in dispute; (vi) there are a large number of parties (including where it is uncertain how liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants); or (vii) there is a wide range of potential outcomes.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation, claims, government inquiries, investigations and proceedings, including, but not limited to, those identified below, relating to intellectual property, commercial, employment, environmental and regulatory matters.

The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses in connection with its current lawsuits and material claims and disputes, and intends to vigorously contest each of them.

Based on the Company's experience, management believes that the damages amounts claimed in a case are not a meaningful indicator of the potential liability. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of cases.

Other than as described below, in the opinion of the Company's management based upon information currently available to the Company, while the outcome of these lawsuits, claims and disputes is uncertain, the likely results of these lawsuits, claims and disputes are not expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although the effect could be material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows for any interim reporting period.

During the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor), the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) and the six months ended March 31, 2017 (Predecessor), costs incurred in connection with certain legal matters were $0 million, $37 million and $0 million, respectively.

Antitrust Litigation

In 2006, the Company instituted an action in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, against defendants Telecom Labs, Inc., TeamTLI.com Corp. and Continuant Technologies, Inc. (“TLI/Continuant”) and subsequently amended its complaint to include certain individual officers of these companies as defendants. Defendants purportedly provide maintenance services to customers who have purchased or leased the Company's communications equipment. The Company asserted in its amended complaint that, among other things, defendants, or each of them, engaged in tortious conduct by improperly accessing and utilizing the Company's proprietary software, including passwords, logins and maintenance service permissions, to perform certain maintenance services on the Company's customers' equipment. TLI/Continuant filed counterclaims against the Company alleging that the Company has violated the Sherman Act's prohibitions against anticompetitive conduct through the manner in which the Company sells its products and services. TLI/Continuant sought to recover the profits they claim they would have earned from maintaining Avaya's products, and asked for injunctive relief prohibiting the conduct they claim is anticompetitive.

The trial commenced on September 9, 2013. On January 7, 2014, the Court issued an order dismissing the Company's affirmative claims. With respect to TLI/Continuant’s counterclaims, on March 27, 2014, a jury found against the Company on two of eight claims and awarded damages of $20 million. Under the federal antitrust laws, the jury’s award is subject to automatic trebling, or $60 million.

Following the jury verdict, TLI/Continuant sought an injunction regarding the Company’s ongoing business operations. On June 30, 2014, a federal judge rejected the demands of TLI/Continuant’s proposed injunction and stated that “only a narrow injunction is appropriate.” Instead, the judge issued an order relating to customers who purchased an Avaya PBX system between January 1, 1990 and April 30, 2008 only. Those customers and their agents will have free access to the on demand maintenance commands that were installed on their systems at the time of the purchase transaction. The court specified that this right “does not extend to access on a system purchased after April 30, 2008.” Consequently, the injunction affected only systems sold prior to April 30, 2008. The judge denied all other requests TLI/Continuant made in its injunction filing. The Company complied with the injunction although it has now been vacated by the September 30, 2016 decision discussed below.

The Company and TLI/Continuant filed post-trial motions seeking to overturn the jury’s verdict, which motions were denied. In September 2014, the Court entered judgment in the amount of $63 million, which included the jury's award of $20 million, subject to automatic trebling, or $60 million, plus prejudgment interest in the amount of $3 million. On October 10, 2014, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal, and on October 23, 2014, TLI/Continuant filed a Notice of Conditional Cross-Appeal. On October 23, 2014, the Company filed its supersedeas bond with the Court in the amount of $63 million. The Company secured posting of the bond through the issuance of a letter of credit under its then existing credit facilities.

On November 10, 2014, TLI/Continuant made an application for attorney's fees, expenses and costs, which the Company contested. TLI/Continuant’s application for attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs was approximately $71 million and represented activity through February 28, 2015. On February 22, 2016, the Company posted a bond in the amount of $8 million in connection with TLC/Continuant's attorneys' fees application.

In September 2016, a Special Master appointed by the trial court to assist in evaluating TLI/Continuant's application rendered a Recommendation, finding that TLI/Continuant should receive approximately $61 million in attorneys' fees, expenses and costs. Subsequently, the parties submitted letters to the Special Master seeking an Amended Recommendation. However, in light of the Third Circuit's favorable opinion, outlined below, the trial court proceedings relating to TLI/Continuant's application have not proceeded. TLI/Continuant is no longer entitled to attorneys' fees, expenses and costs, because it no longer is a prevailing party, subject to further proceedings on appeal or retrial.

On September 30, 2016, the Third Circuit issued a favorable ruling for the Company, which included: (1) reversing the mid-trial decision to dismiss four of the Company’s affirmative claims and reinstated them; (2) vacating the jury verdict on the two claims decided in TLI/Continuant’s favor; (3) entering judgment in the Company’s favor on a portion of TLI/Continuant’s claim relating to attempted monopolization; (4) dismissing TLI/Continuant’s PDS patches claim as a matter of law; (5) vacating the damages award to TLI/Continuant; (6) vacating the award of prejudgment interest to TLI/Continuant; and (7) vacating the injunction. On October 28, 2016, TLI/Continuant sought panel rehearing or rehearing en banc review of the opinion, which was denied on November 16, 2016. On November 22, 2016, TLI/Continuant filed a Motion for Stay of Mandate, which was denied. On December 5, 2016, the Third Circuit issued a certified judgment in lieu of a formal mandate, returning jurisdiction to the trial court.

As a result of the Third Circuit’s opinion, on November 23, 2016, the Company filed a Notice of Motion to Release the Supersedeas Bonds, which the court granted on December 23, 2016. On December 12, 2016, the Court issued an Order Upon Mandate and For Status Conference, which i) vacated the Court’s January 7, 2014 order dismissing Avaya’s claims against TLI/Continuant and the order of judgment entered on September 17, 2014 and ii) scheduled a status conference for January 6, 2017 to discuss the Joint Plan for Retrial. On January 13, 2017, the Court entered an Order staying the matter pending mediation. On January 20, 2017, the Company filed a Notice of Suggestion on Pendency of Bankruptcy For Avaya Inc., et. al. and Automatic Stay of Proceedings. TLI/Continuant filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Court. On November 30, 2017, the Company filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking to estimate TLI/Continuant’s claim.

This matter, although not yet closed, will receive distribution in accordance with the general unsecured claims procedure in the Company's Plan of Reorganization.

Patent Infringement

In July 2016, BlackBerry Limited (“BlackBerry”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against the Company in the Northern District of Texas, alleging infringement of multiple patents with respect to a variety of technologies including user interface design, encoding/decoding and call routing. In September 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss these claims and in October 2016, the Company also filed a motion to transfer this matter to the Northern District of California. In January 2017, the Company filed a notice of Suggestion of Pendency of Bankruptcy, which initially stayed the proceedings. The stay was partially lifted to allow the court in Texas to rule on the two pending motions. The Company’s motion to transfer the case from Texas to California has been denied. The Company’s motion to dismiss BlackBerry’s indirect infringement and willfulness claims was granted, although BlackBerry was provided an opportunity to file an Amended Complaint to cure the deficiencies, which it did on October 19, 2017. BlackBerry filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Court. On February 20, 2018, the Company and BlackBerry entered into a settlement agreement resolving this dispute, and on February 23, 2018, the parties

jointly filed a Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice with the Court in the Northern District of Texas. The Company considers this matter closed, except for distribution of the pre-petition allowed claim in accordance with the general unsecured claims procedure pursuant to the Company's Plan of Reorganization.

In September 2011, Network-1 Security Solutions, Inc. (“Network-1”) filed a complaint for patent infringement against the Company and other corporations in the Eastern District of Texas (Tyler Division), alleging infringement of its patent with respect to power over Ethernet technology. Network-1 seeks to recover for alleged reasonable royalties, enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees. In January 2017, the Company filed a Notice of Suggestion of Pendency of Bankruptcy, which informed the Court of the Company’s voluntary bankruptcy petition filing and stay of proceedings. On October 16, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a settlement agreement with Network-1 and on November 7, 2017 the Tyler Division district court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit, with prejudice. The Company considers this matter closed, except for distribution of the pre-petition allowed claim in accordance with the general unsecured claims procedure in the Company's Plan of Reorganization.

Intellectual Property and Commercial Disputes

In January 2010, SAE Power Incorporated and SAE Power Company (“SAE”) filed a complaint in the New Jersey Superior Court asserting various claims including breach of contract, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel, and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing arising out of Avaya’s relationship with SAE as a supplier of various power supply products. SAE has since asserted additional claims against Avaya for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, misappropriation of trade secrets, and civil conspiracy. SAE seeks to recover for alleged losses stemming from Avaya’s termination of its power supply purchases from SAE, including for Avaya’s alleged disclosure of SAE’s alleged trade secret and/or confidential information to another power supply vendor. On July 19, 2016, the Court entered an order granting Avaya’s motion for partial summary judgment, dismissing certain of SAE’s claims regarding the alleged disclosure of trade secrets. In January 2017, the Company filed a Notice of Suggestion of Pendency of Bankruptcy, which informed the Court of the Company’s voluntary bankruptcy petition filing and stay of proceedings. SAE filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Court. On September 28, 2017, the Company filed a motion in the Bankruptcy Court seeking to estimate SAE’s claim, and the estimation hearing took place on February 15, 2018. On April 23, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court estimated SAE’s pre-petition misappropriation claim in the amount of $1.21 million plus interest, its fraud claim at $0 million and declined to estimate SAE’s breach of contract claim, leaving it to be resolved through the bankruptcy claims allowance process. Once the stay of proceedings is lifted, SAE may pursue its liability claims against Avaya in the New Jersey state court action, subject to the estimation determinations of the Bankruptcy Court. This matter, although not yet closed, will receive distribution in accordance with the general unsecured claims procedure in the Company's Plan of Reorganization.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation alleging it has infringed upon third parties’ intellectual property rights, including patents and copyrights; some litigation may involve claims for infringement against customers, distributors and resellers by third parties relating to the use of Avaya’s products, as to which the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope to certain parties. The Company is also involved in litigation pertaining to general commercial disputes with customers, suppliers, vendors and other third parties including royalty disputes. Much of the pending litigation against the Debtors has been stayed as result of the Chapter 11 filing and will be subject to resolution in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Based on discussions with parties that have filed claims against the Debtors, the Company provided loss provisions for certain matters. However, these matters are on-going and the outcomes are subject to inherent uncertainties. As a result, the Company cannot be assured that any such matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Product Warranties

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated costs that may be incurred to remedy certain deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over a specified period of time generally ranging up to two years from the date of sale depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company accrues a provision for estimated future warranty costs based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of its product warranties and adjusts, if necessary, the warranty percentage and accrued warranty reserve, which is included in other current and non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for actual experience.

Guarantees of Indebtedness and Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

The Company provides guarantees, letters of credit and surety bonds to various parties as required for certain transactions initiated during the ordinary course of business to guarantee the Company's performance in accordance with contractual or legal obligations. As of March 31, 2018 (Successor), the maximum potential payment obligation with regards to letters of credit, guarantees and surety bonds was $61 million. The outstanding letters of credit are collateralized by restricted cash of $4 million included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2018 (Successor).

Purchase Commitments and Termination Fees

The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and uses several contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing services for its products. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and to help assure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with contract manufacturers and suppliers that allow them to produce and procure inventory based upon forecasted requirements provided by the Company. If the Company does not meet these specified purchase commitments, it could be required to purchase the inventory, or in the case of certain agreements, pay an early termination fee. Historically, the Company has not been required to pay a charge for not meeting its designated purchase commitments with these suppliers, but has been obligated to purchase certain excess inventory levels from its outsourced manufacturers due to actual sales of product varying from forecast and due to transition of manufacturing from one vendor to another.

The Company’s outsourcing agreements with its most significant contract manufacturers automatically renew in July and September for successive periods of twelve months each, subject to specific termination rights for the Company and the contract manufacturers. All manufacturing of the Company’s products is performed in accordance with either detailed requirements or specifications and product designs furnished by the Company, and is subject to rigorous quality control standards.

Long-Term Incentive Cash Bonus Plan

The Predecessor Company had established a long-term incentive cash bonus plan (“LTIP”). Under the LTIP, the Predecessor Company would pay cash awards and recognize compensation expense to certain key employees upon specific triggering events. As of the Emergence Date, no triggering event had occurred, therefore no cash awards were paid and no compensation expense recognized. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, all awards to persons deemed "insiders" for purposes of Chapter 11 proceedings were cancelled.

Credit Facility Indemnification

In connection with the Successor Company's obligations under its post-emergence credit facilities, the Company has agreed to indemnify the third-party lending institutions for costs incurred by the institutions related to non-compliance with environmental law and other liabilities that may arise with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of the financing documentation. As of March 31, 2018 (Successor), no amounts were paid or accrued pursuant to this indemnity.

Transactions with Nokia

Pursuant to the Contribution and Distribution Agreement effective October 1, 2000, Lucent Technologies, Inc. (now Nokia) contributed to the Company substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations associated with its enterprise networking businesses (the “Company’s Businesses”) and distributed the Company’s stock pro-rata to the shareholders of Lucent (“distribution”). The Contribution and Distribution Agreement, among other things, provides that, in general, the Company will indemnify Nokia for all liabilities including certain pre-distribution tax obligations of Nokia relating to the Company’s Businesses and all contingent liabilities primarily relating to the Company’s Businesses or otherwise assigned to the Company.

In addition, the Contribution and Distribution Agreement provides that certain contingent liabilities not allocated to one of the parties will be shared by Nokia and the Company in prescribed percentages. The Contribution and Distribution Agreement also provides that each party will share specified portions of contingent liabilities based upon agreed percentages related to the business of the other party that exceed $50 million. The Company is unable to determine the maximum potential amount of other future payments, if any, that it could be required to make under this agreement.

In addition, in connection with the distribution, the Company and Lucent entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement that governs Nokia’s and the Company’s respective rights, responsibilities and obligations after the distribution with respect to taxes for the periods ending on or before the distribution. Generally, pre-distribution taxes or benefits that are clearly attributable to the business of one party will be borne solely by that party and other pre-distribution taxes or benefits will be shared by the parties based on a formula set forth in the Tax Sharing Agreement. The Company may be subject to additional taxes or benefits pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement related to future settlements of audits by state and local and foreign taxing authorities for the periods prior to the Company’s separation from Nokia.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, as used in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” “Avaya” and similar terms refer to Avaya Holdings Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Consolidated Financial Statements and other financial information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, which were included in Amendment No. 3 to our Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC on January 10, 2018.

Our accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2018 (Successor) and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 (Successor), the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 (Successor), the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 (Predecessor) and the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 (Predecessor) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial statements. In our opinion, the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, as well as fresh start and reorganization adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.

The matters discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this discussion.

Overview

Avaya is a global leader in digital communications software, services and devices for businesses of all sizes. Our open, intelligent and customizable solutions for contact centers and unified communications offer the flexibility of Cloud, on-premises and hybrid deployments. Avaya shapes intelligent connections and creates seamless communication experiences for our customers, and their customers. Our professional planning, support and management services teams help optimize solutions, for highly reliable and efficient deployments. Our solutions fall under two operating segments:

Global Communication Solutions ("GCS") encompasses our real-time collaboration solutions for unified communications and contact center offerings to drive exceptional customer experiences. We take a cloud-first approach with a fully open architecture and multitenant platform that supports flexibility, reliability, security and scaling so customers can move to the cloud in a way that best meets their specific needs. Avaya omnichannel contact center solutions that enable customers to build a customized portfolio of applications to drive stronger customer engagement and promote higher customer lifetime value. Our highly reliable, scalable communications-centric solutions include voice, e-mail, chat, social media, video, performance management and ease of third-party integration that can improve customer service and help companies compete more effectively.

Our unified communications solutions help companies increase employee productivity, improve customer service and reduce costs by integrating multiple forms of communications, including telephony, e-mail, instant messaging and video. Avaya embeds communications directly into the applications, browsers and devices employees use every day to create a single, powerful gateway for voice, video, messaging, conferencing and collaboration. We free people from their desktop and give them a more natural and efficient way to connect, communicate and share when, where and how they want.

This operating segment also includes an open, extensible development platform, so that our customers and third parties can easily adapt our technology by creating custom applications and automated workflows for their unique needs, integrating Avaya’s capabilities into their existing infrastructure and business applications.

Avaya Global Services ("AGS") includes professional and support services designed to help our customers maximize the benefits of our solutions. Our global, experienced professional services team helps maximize customer investments in collaborative communications, with services from initial planning and design, to seamless implementation, to integration and ongoing optimization. We help customers use communications to help minimize risk, enable people, and deliver a differentiated customer experience.

Avaya also offers every level of support for communications solutions, with award-winning services for implementation, deployment, training, monitoring, troubleshooting and optimization, and more. Our pro-active, preventative monitoring of system performance and the ability to quickly find and fix problems help keep customer communications running optimally. Remote diagnostics and resolutions help us rapidly resolve potential problems, saving time and reducing risk of an outage.

This operating segment also includes our private cloud and managed services, which enable customers to take advantage of our technology on-premises or in a private, public or hybrid (i.e., mix of on-premises, private and/or public) cloud environment, depending on solution and customer needs. The majority of our revenue in this reporting segment is recurring in nature and based on multi-year services contracts.

On March 9, 2018, the Company acquired Intellisist, Inc. (“Spoken”), a United States-based private technology company, which provides cloud-based Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solutions and customer experience management applications. The total purchase price was $173 million, consisting of $158 million in cash, $14 million in contingent consideration (measured at current fair value) and settlement of Spoken’s net payable to the Company of $1 million. Prior to the acquisition, the Company and Spoken had been working in a co-development partnership for more than a year pursuant to which the Company had recorded a net receivable from Spoken for services provided.

Spoken became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company's unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the financial results of the operations of Spoken beginning on March 9, 2018. The operating results of Spoken from March 9, 2018 through March 31, 2018 were immaterial.

On July 14, 2017, the Company sold its former networking business to Extreme Networks, Inc. (“Extreme”). Prior to the sale, the networking business was a separate operating segment comprised of certain assets of the Company’s Networking segment, along with the maintenance and professional services of the networking business, which were part of the AGS segment. Networking included advanced fabric networking technology, which offered a unique end-to-end virtualized architecture network designed to be simple to deploy. This operating segment also included software and hardware products such as ethernet switches, wireless networking, access control, and unified management and orchestration solutions, which provided network and device management. After the sale of the networking business, our operating segments consist solely of GCS and AGS.

Factors and Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

There are a number of trends and uncertainties affecting our business. For example, we are dependent on general economic conditions and the willingness of our customers to invest in technology. In addition, instability in the geopolitical environment of our customers, instability in the global credit markets and other disruptions put pressure on the global economy causing uncertainties. We are also affected by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on our business. We believe these uncertainties have impacted our customers’ willingness to spend on IT and the manner in which they procure such technologies and services. This includes delays or rejection of capital projects, including the implementation of our products and services. In addition, as further explained below, we believe there is a growing market trend around cloud consumption preferences with more customers exploring operating expense models as opposed to capital expenditure (“CapEx”) models for procuring technology.

As a result of a growing market trend preferring cloud consumption, more customers are exploring subscription and pay-per-use based models, rather than CapEx models, for procuring technology. The shift to subscription and pay-per-use models enables customers to manage costs and efficiencies by paying a subscription or per minute or per message fee for business communications services rather than purchasing the underlying products and services, infrastructure and personnel, which are owned and managed by the equipment vendor or a cloud and managed services provider. We believe the market trend toward these flexible consumption models will continue as we see an increasing number of opportunities and requests for proposal based on subscription and pay-per-use models. This trend has driven an increase in the proportion of total Company revenues attributable to software and services. In addition, we believe customers are moving away from owned and operated infrastructure, preferring cloud offerings and virtualized server defined networks, which provide us with reduced associated maintenance support opportunities.

We continue to evolve into a software and services business and focus our go-to-market efforts by introducing new solutions and innovations, particularly on workflow automation, multi-channel customer engagement and cloud-enabled communications applications. These include Avaya Oceana®, Avaya Oceanalytics™, Avaya Equinox®, Avaya® Enterprise Private Cloud and Zang® Cloud. We also launched a next-generation desktop device, Avaya Vantage™.

Despite the benefits of a robust indirect channel, which include expanding our sales reach, our channel partners have direct contact with our customers that may foster independent relationships between them and a loss of certain services agreements for us. We have been able to offset these impacts by focusing on utilizing partners in a sales agent relationship, whereby partners perform selling activities but the contract remains with Avaya. We are also offering higher-value services in support of our software offerings, such as professional services and cloud-managed services, which are not traditionally provided by our channel partners.

The Company has maintained its focus on profitability levels and investing in future results. As the Company continues its transformation to a software and service-led organization, it has implemented programs designed to streamline its operations, generate cost savings and eliminate overlapping processes and resources. These cost savings programs include: (1) reducing

headcount, (2) eliminating real estate costs associated with unused or under-utilized facilities and (3) implementing gross margin improvement and other cost reduction initiatives. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to streamline its operations and identify cost savings globally and may take additional restructuring actions in the future. The costs of those actions could be material.

Emergence from Bankruptcy

On January 19, 2017 (the "Petition Date"), Avaya Holdings Corp., together with certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Bankruptcy Filing") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court").

On November 28, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization filed by the Debtors on October 24, 2017 (the "Plan of Reorganization"). On December 15, 2017 (the "Emergence Date"), the Plan of Reorganization became effective and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy.

In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the following significant transactions occurred on the Emergence Date:


•	The Company paid in full amounts outstanding under the debtor-in-possession credit agreement (the "DIP Credit Agreement").


•	The Debtors' obligations under stock certificates, equity interests, and / or any other instrument or document directly or indirectly evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of, or ownership interest in, the Debtors or giving rise to any claim or equity interest were cancelled, except as provided under the Plan of Reorganization and noted below;


•	The Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to authorize the issuance of 605.0 million shares of stock, consisting of 55.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 550.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share;


•	The Company entered into a term loan credit agreement (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") with a principal amount of $2,925 million and a $300 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Agreement");


•	The Company issued 99.3 million shares of common stock to the holders of the Predecessor's first lien obligations that were extinguished in the bankruptcy. In addition, these holders received $2,061 million in cash;


•	The Company issued 4.4 million shares of common stock to the holders of the Predecessor's second lien obligations that were extinguished in the bankruptcy. In addition, these holders received warrants to purchase 5.6 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $25.55 per warrant (the "Warrants");


•	The Company issued 6.1 million shares of common stock to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC"). In addition, the PBGC received $340 million in cash; and

•

The Debtors established a liquidating trust in the amount of $58 million for the benefit of general unsecured creditors. In addition, the Company issued 0.2 million additional shares of common stock for the benefit of its former general unsecured creditors. The general unsecured creditors will receive a total of $58 million in cash and these shares of common stock. Any excess cash and / or common stock not distributed to the general unsecured creditors will be distributed to the holders of the Predecessor first lien obligations.

Upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 15, 2017, the Company applied fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after December 15, 2017 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or prior to that date. Refer to Note 4, "Fresh Start Accounting," to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Financial Results Summary

Our financial results for the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 are referred to as those of the “Predecessor” period. Our financial results for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are referred to as those of the “Successor” period or periods. Our results of operations as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these periods are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Although GAAP requires that we report on our results for the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 and the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 separately, management views the Company’s operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2018 by combining the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods because such presentation provides the most meaningful comparison of our results to prior periods.

The Company cannot adequately benchmark the operating results of the 106-day period ended March 31, 2018 against any of the previous periods reported in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and does not believe that reviewing the results of this period in isolation would be useful in identifying any trends in or reaching any conclusions regarding the Company’s overall operating performance. Management believes that the key performance metrics such as revenue, gross margin and operating (loss) income for the Successor period when combined with the Predecessor period provides more meaningful comparisons to other periods and are useful in identifying current business trends. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, the table below also presents the combined results for the six months ended March 31, 2018.

The combined results for the six months ended March 31, 2018 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 and the Successor period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018. These combined results are not considered to be prepared in accordance with GAAP and have not been prepared as pro forma results under applicable regulations. The combined operating results may not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent our emergence from bankruptcy and may not be indicative of future results.

The following table displays our consolidated net (loss) income for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Results Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $672 million compared to $804 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Revenue decreased $132 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily attributable to the recognition of deferred revenue at fair value upon emergence from bankruptcy, which results in lower revenue in subsequent periods; the sale of the Networking business in July 2017; and lower maintenance services revenue as a result of lower product sales in prior periods, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

The following table displays revenue and the percentage of revenue to total sales by operating segment for the periods indicated:

GCS revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $317 million compared to $309 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in GCS revenue was primarily attributable to the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Networking revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $39 million. The Networking business was sold to Extreme in July 2017.

AGS revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $440 million compared to $456 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in AGS revenue was primarily due to a decrease in maintenance services and the Networking business sale, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and an increase in professional services sales.

Unallocated amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2018 represent the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue recognized upon emergence from bankruptcy and excluded from segment revenue.

Revenue in the U.S. for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $333 million compared to $450 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in U.S. revenue was primarily attributable to the recognition of deferred revenue at fair value upon emergence from bankruptcy, which results in lower revenue in subsequent periods, a decrease in global support services and the impact of the sale of the Networking business in July 2017. Revenue in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $191 million compared to $202 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in EMEA revenue was primarily attributable to the impact of the sale of the Networking business and a decrease in global support services, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Revenue in Asia-Pacific ("APAC") for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $80 million compared to $77 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in APAC revenue was primarily attributable to higher sales of unified communications products and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the impact of the sale of the Networking business. Revenue in Americas International for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $68 million compared to $75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in Americas International revenue was primarily attributable to the sale of the Networking business and a decrease in global support services, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $323 million compared to $484 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of applying fresh start accounting upon emergence from bankruptcy, the decrease in sales of maintenance services and the sale of the Networking business, partially offset by an increase in professional services gross profit and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

GCS gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $214 million compared to $210 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was attributable to the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Networking gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $11 million. The Networking business was sold to Extreme in July 2017.

AGS gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $255 million compared to $269 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in AGS gross profit was due to a decrease in sales of maintenance and private cloud services and the sale of the Networking business, partially offset by an increase in professional services gross profit and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Unallocated amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2018 include the fair value adjustments recognized upon emergence from bankruptcy and excluded from segment gross profit, the effect of the amortization of technology intangibles, and costs that are not core to the measurement of segment performance, but rather are controlled at the corporate level. Unallocated amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2017 included the effect of the amortization of technology intangibles and costs that are not core to the measurement of segment performance, but rather are controlled at the corporate level.

Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth operating expenses and the percentage of operating expenses to total revenue for the periods indicated:



	Successor		Predecessor		Percentage of Total Revenue				Change
(In millions)	Three months ended March 31, 2018		Three months ended March 31, 2017		Three months ended March 31, 2018		Three months ended March 31, 2017		Amount			Percent

Total operating expenses	$	412	$	409	61.3	%	50.9	%	$	3		1	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $282 million compared to $292 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to expenses associated with the Networking business that was sold in July 2017 and advisory fees incurred in the prior year period to assist in the assessment of strategic and financial alternatives to improve the Company’s capital structure, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $50 million compared to $57 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to the expenses associated with the Networking business that was sold in July 2017.

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $40 million compared to $56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The carrying value of intangible assets was adjusted upon the application of fresh start accounting resulting in higher asset values. See Note 6, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets - Intangible Assets” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Restructuring charges, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $40 million compared to $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Restructuring charges recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 included employee separation costs of $40 million primarily associated with employee severance actions in EMEA and the U.S. Restructuring charges recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 included employee separation costs of $3 million primarily associated with employee severance actions in the U.S. and EMEA and lease obligations of $1 million primarily in EMEA.

Operating (Loss) Income

Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $89 million compared to operating income of $75 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflect, among other things:


•	the impact of applying fresh start accounting upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 15, 2017;


•	higher restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily related to employee separation charges and lease termination agreements associated with vacated facilities particularly in Europe and the U.S.; and


•	operating results from the Networking business for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $47 million as compared to $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $9 million. Our Bankruptcy Filing, which constituted an event of default under our Predecessor first lien obligations and Predecessor second lien obligations, accelerated the Company's payment obligations under those instruments. Consequently, all debt outstanding under our Predecessor first lien obligations and Predecessor second lien obligations were classified as Liabilities subject to compromise. Effective January 19, 2017, the Company ceased recording interest expense on outstanding pre-petition debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise. Contractual interest expense represented amounts due under the contractual terms of outstanding debt, including debt subject to compromise. For the period from January 19, 2017 through March 31, 2017, contractual interest expense related to debt subject to compromise of $88 million was not recorded as interest expense, as it was not expected to be an allowed claim under the Bankruptcy Filing.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $3 million as compared to $22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 includes a loss due to the change in fair value of the Warrant liability of $10 million (see Note 10, “Derivative Warrant Liability” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details) and a net foreign currency loss of $3 million, partially offset by income from a transition services agreement with Extreme of $4 million, other pension and post-retirement benefit credits of $4 million, interest income of $1 million and the gain on sale of long-lived assets of $1 million. Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 includes a net foreign currency loss of $12 million and other pension and post-retirement benefit costs of $11 million, partially offset by interest income of $1 million.

On October 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost." This amendment requires that the service cost component be disaggregated from the other components of net benefit costs on the income statement. The service cost component is reported in the same line items as other compensation costs and the other components of net benefit costs are reported in Other expense, net in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes to the Company's Condensed Financial Statements have been applied retrospectively. As a result, the Company reclassified $11 million of other pension and post-retirement benefit costs to Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $4 million of other pension and post-retirement benefit credits in Other expense, net. See Note 2, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements," to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Reorganization Items, Net

Reorganization items, net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $42 million. Reorganization items, net represented amounts incurred subsequent to the Bankruptcy Filing as a direct result of the Bankruptcy Filing and were comprised of professional service fees and DIP Credit Agreement financing costs.

Benefit from Income Taxes

The benefit from income taxes was $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the benefit that would result from applying the new U.S. statutory rate of 24.5%, was primarily attributable to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) losses generated within certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit was recorded because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (3) non-U.S. withholding taxes on foreign earnings, (4) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions, (5) U.S. state and local income taxes, and (6) the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 differs from the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate primarily due to (1) the effect of tax rate differentials on foreign income/loss, (2) changes in the valuation allowance established against the Company’s deferred tax assets, and (3) tax positions taken during the period offset by reductions for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the lapse of statute of limitations.

Net Loss

Net loss was $130 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, principally as a result of the items discussed above.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2018 Combined Results Compared to the Six Months Ended March 31, 2017

Revenue

Our revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $1,424 million compared to $1,679 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. Revenue decreased $255 million primarily as the result of the recognition of deferred revenue at fair value upon emergence from bankruptcy, which results in lower revenue in subsequent periods; the sale of the Networking business; and lower demand for products and services due to extended procurement cycles resulting from the Bankruptcy Filing. The lower demand for our products in prior periods has also contributed, in part, to lower maintenance services revenue. The decrease was partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

GCS revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $647 million compared to $655 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in GCS revenue was primarily attributable to lower unified communication revenue, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Networking revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2017 was $94 million. The Networking business was sold to Extreme in July 2017.

AGS revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $885 million compared to $930 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in AGS revenue was primarily due to lower maintenance services revenue and the sale of the Networking business, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and professional services sales.

Revenue in the U.S. for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $735 million compared to $916 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in U.S. revenue was primarily attributable to the recognition of deferred revenue at fair value upon emergence from bankruptcy which results in lower revenue in subsequent periods, a decrease in global support services, the impact of the sale of the Networking business in July 2017, and lower sales of unified communications products including endpoints, SME Telephony, and gateways, partially offset by an increase in professional services revenue. Revenue in EMEA for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $399 million compared to $436 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in EMEA revenue was primarily attributable to the impact of the sale of the Networking business and a decrease in global support services, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Revenue in APAC for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $156 million compared to $167 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017.

AGS gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $521 million compared to $554 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in AGS gross profit was due a decrease in sales of maintenance services and sale of the Networking business, partially offset by an increase in professional services gross profit and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Unallocated amounts for the six months ended March 31, 2018 include the fair value adjustments recognized upon emergence from bankruptcy and excluded from segment gross profit; the effect of the amortization of technology intangibles; and costs that are not core to the measurement of segment performance, but rather are controlled at the corporate level. Unallocated amounts for the six months ended March 31, 2017 include the effect of the amortization of technology intangibles and costs that are not core to the measurement of segment performance, but rather are controlled at the corporate level.

Operating Expenses

The following table sets forth operating expenses and the percentage of operating expenses to total revenue for the periods indicated:



									Percentage of Total Revenue
	Successor		Predecessor		Non-GAAP Combined		Predecessor		Non-GAAP Combined		Predecessor		Change
(In millions)	Period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018		Period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017		Six months ended March 31, 2018		Six months ended March 31, 2017		Six months ended March 31, 2018		Six months ended March 31, 2017		Amount			Percent

Total operating expenses	$	488	$	326	$	814	$	874	57.2	%	52.1	%	$	(60	)	(7	)%

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2018 were $596 million compared to $628 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to advisory fees incurred in the prior year period to assist in the assessment of strategic and financial alternatives to improve the Company’s capital structure, as well as expenses associated with the Networking business that was sold in July 2017, partially offset by costs incurred in connection with certain legal matters and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2018 were $97 million compared to $119 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to the expenses associated with the Networking business that was sold in July 2017.

Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $57 million compared to $113 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The carrying value of intangible assets was adjusted upon the application of fresh start accounting resulting in higher asset values.

Restructuring charges, net, for the six months ended March 31, 2018 were $64 million compared to $14 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. Restructuring charges recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2018 included employee separation costs of $53 million primarily associated with employee severance actions in EMEA and the U.S. and lease obligations of $11 million primarily in the U.S. and EMEA. The increase was primarily related to charges for employee separation costs and payments made under lease termination agreements associated with vacated facilities, particularly in EMEA and the U.S. Restructuring charges recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2017 included employee separation costs of $11 million primarily associated with employee severance actions in the U.S. and EMEA and lease obligations of $3 million, primarily in EMEA.

Operating (Loss) Income

Operating loss for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $51 million compared to operating income of $145 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. Our operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2017 reflect, among other things:


•	the impact of applying fresh start accounting upon emergence from bankruptcy on December 15, 2017;


•	higher restructuring charges for the six months ended March 31, 2018, primarily related to employee separation charges and lease termination agreements associated with vacated facilities particularly in Europe and the U.S.;


•	recognition of $63 million in advisory fees incurred to assist in the assessment of strategic and financial alternatives to improve the Company’s capital structure during the six months ended March 31, 2017;


•	costs incurred in connection with certain legal matters of $37 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018; and


•	operating results from the Networking business for the six months ended March 31, 2017.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $70 million as compared to $212 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The six months ended March 31, 2017 included non-cash interest expense of $61 million related to the accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs and accretion of debt discount. Our Bankruptcy Filing, which constituted an

event of default under our Predecessor first lien obligations and Predecessor second lien obligations, accelerated the Company's payment obligations under those instruments. Consequently, all debt outstanding under our Predecessor first lien obligations and Predecessor second lien obligations were classified as Liabilities subject to compromise, and related unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts in the amount of $61 million were expensed during the six months ended March 31, 2017. Effective January 19, 2017, the Company ceased recording interest expense on outstanding pre-petition debt classified as Liabilities subject to compromise. Contractual interest expense represents amounts due under the contractual terms of outstanding debt, including debt subject to compromise. For the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 and the period from January 19, 2017 through March 31, 2017, contractual interest expense of $94 million and $88 million, respectively, was not recorded as interest expense, as it was not expected to be an allowed claim under the Bankruptcy Filing. Contractual interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $69 million and $151 million, respectively, a decrease of $82 million.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $7 million as compared to $18 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017. Other expense, net for the six months ended March 31, 2018 included a loss due to the change in fair value of the Warrant liability of $15 million, other pension and post-retirement benefit costs of $3 million, and net foreign currency losses of $1 million, partially offset by income from a transition services agreement entered into in connection with the sale of Extreme of $7 million, interest income of $3 million, gain on sale of long-lived assets of $1 million, and other, net of $1 million. Other expense, net for the six months ended March 31, 2017 includes other pension and post-retirement benefit costs of $17 million, net foreign currency losses of $1 million and other, net of $1 million, partially offset by interest income of $1 million.

As a result of adopting ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost," the Company reclassified $17 million of other pension and post-retirement benefit costs to Other expense, net for the six months ended March 31, 2017. For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded $3 million of other pension and post-retirement benefit costs in Other expense, net.

Reorganization Items, Net

Reorganization items, net for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $3,416 million and $(42) million, respectively. Reorganization items, net for the six months ended March 31, 2018 primarily consists of the net gain from the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization and the related settlement of liabilities. Reorganization items, net for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 also include amounts incurred subsequent to the Bankruptcy Filing as a direct result of the Bankruptcy Filing and are comprised of professional service fees and contract rejection fees.

(Provision for) Benefit from Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $204 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018 compared with a benefit from income taxes of $16 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017.

For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the benefit that would result from applying the new U.S. statutory rate of 24.5%, was primarily attributable to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) losses generated within certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit was recorded because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (3) non-U.S. withholding taxes on foreign earnings, (4) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions, (5) U.S. state and local income taxes, and (6) the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

For the six months ended March 31, 2017, the difference between the Company’s recorded provision and the provision that would result from applying the U.S. statutory rate of 35% in effect during the period was primarily attributable to: (1) income and losses taxed at different foreign tax rates, (2) losses generated within certain foreign jurisdictions for which no benefit was recorded because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits would not be realized, (3) non-U.S. withholding taxes on foreign earnings, (4) current period changes to unrecognized tax positions, (5) U.S. state and local income taxes, and (6) the impact of reorganization and fresh start adjustments.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income was $3,084 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018 compared to a net loss of $111 million for the six months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to the reorganization gain of $3,416 million resulting from our emergence from bankruptcy and the items discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect our cash balances, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our ABL Credit Agreement to be our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Based on our current level of operations, we believe these sources will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to meet our cash requirements will depend on our

ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our credit facilities in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs.

Cash Flow Activity

The following table provides the condensed statements of cash flows for the periods indicated:



	Successor			Predecessor			Non-GAAP Combined			Predecessor
				Revised
(In millions)	Period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018			Period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017			Six months ended March 31, 2018			Six months ended March 31, 2017

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	311		$	366		$	311		$	764

Operating Activities

Cash (used for) provided by operating activities was $(320) million and $53 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash (used for) provided by operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $(3,489) million and $274 million, respectively. The adjustments in the current period resulting from the reorganization and the emergence from bankruptcy primarily consisted of a non-cash reorganization gain of $1,778 million; the gain related to fresh start accounting of $1,697 million; cash payments to the PBGC, the general unsecured creditor claims, and to the APP pension trust of $340 million, $58 million and $49 million, respectively, and non-cash and financing reorganization items, net of $26 million. For the six months ended March 31, 2018, other adjustments included deferred income taxes of $215 million, depreciation and amortization of $176 million, share-based compensation of $6 million, and unrealized gain on foreign currency exchange of $7 million. For the six months ended March 31, 2017, other adjustments included depreciation and amortization of $178 million, non-cash interest expense of $61 million, reorganization items of $37 million, unrealized loss on foreign currency exchange of $6 million, share-based compensation of $6 million, deferred income taxes of $10 million and post-retirement curtailment of $4 million.

During the six months ended March 31, 2018, changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $85 million. Inclusive of the impact of fresh start accounting, the net increase was primarily driven by an increase in deferred revenues as a result of payments received in advance, an increase in business restructuring reserves, and an increase in accounts payables, partially offset by decreases in net other assets and liabilities, higher inventory, and payments associated with employee incentive programs.

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $110 million. The net decrease was driven by the decrease in net other assets and liabilities, the timing of payments to our vendors, payments associated with our employee incentive programs, and payments associated with business restructuring reserves. These decreases were partially offset by the collection of accounts receivable, increases in accrued interest, increases in deferred revenues and lower inventory.

Investing Activities

Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $(139) million and $(109) million, respectively.

During the six months ended March 31, 2018, cash used for investing activities included the acquisition of Spoken for $158 million and capital expenditures of $31 million, partially offset by the release of restricted cash of $49 million as a result of implementing the Plan of Reorganization.

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, cash used for investing activities included an increase in restricted cash of $74 million, capital expenditures of $32 million and acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired of $4 million.

Financing Activities

Cash (used for) provided by financing activities was $(113) million and $492 million for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Cash used for financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 included proceeds of $2,896 million from the Term Loan Credit Agreement, offset by repayments to the first lien debt holders of $2,061 million, the DIP Credit Agreement of $725 million, adequate protection payments related to the bankruptcy of $118 million, and payment of debt issuance costs of $97 million.

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2017 included proceeds from the DIP Credit Agreement of $712 million, partially offset by $150 million of repayments in excess of borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, $57 million of scheduled debt repayments and $10 million repayment in connection with financing the use of equipment for the performance of services under our agreement with HP Enterprise Services, LLC.

Credit Facilities

See Note 9, “Financing Arrangements,” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our Term Loan Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2018, the Company was not in default under any of its debt agreements.

Future Cash Requirements

Our primary future cash requirements will be to fund debt service, restructuring payments, capital expenditures and benefit obligations. In addition, we may use cash in the future to make strategic acquisitions.

Specifically, we expect our primary cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2018 to be as follows:


•	Debt service—We expect to make payments of $113 million during the remainder of fiscal 2018 in principal and interest associated with the Term Loan Credit Agreement and interest and fees associated with our ABL Credit Agreement. In the ordinary course of business, we may from time to time borrow and repay amounts under our ABL Credit Agreement.


•	Restructuring payments—We expect to make payments of approximately $22 million to $28 million during the remainder of fiscal 2018 for employee separation costs and lease termination obligations associated with restructuring actions we have taken through March 31, 2018. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to streamline its operations and identify additional cost savings globally.


•	Capital expenditures—We expect to spend approximately $40 million to $50 million for capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs during the remainder of fiscal 2018.

•

Benefit obligations—We estimate we will make payments in respect of our pension and post-retirement benefit obligations totaling $50 million during the remainder of fiscal 2018. These payments include $32 million for the Avaya Pension Plan for represented employees; $10 million for our non-U.S. benefit plans, which are predominately not pre-funded; $6 million for represented retiree post-retirement health trusts; $1 million for pension benefits for U.S. employees, which are not pre-funded; and $1 million for our U.S. retiree medical benefit plan, which is not pre-funded. See discussion in Note 13, “Benefit Obligations” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of our benefit obligations.

In addition to the matters identified above, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in litigation, claims, government inquiries, investigations and proceedings, including, but not limited to, those identified in Note 20, "Commitments and Contingencies," to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, relating to intellectual property, commercial, employment, environmental and regulatory matters, which may require us to make cash payments.

These and other legal matters could have a material adverse effect on the manner in which the Company does business and the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity.

For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $37 million of costs incurred in connection with the resolution of certain legal matters.

Future Sources of Liquidity

We expect our cash balances, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our ABL Credit Agreement to be our primary sources of short-term liquidity.

As of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalent balances held outside the U.S. were $122 million and $246 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents held outside the U.S. in excess of in-country needs and, which could not be distributed to the U.S. without restriction, were not material.

Under the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement the Company can issue letters of credit up to $150 million. At March 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding letters of credit and guarantees of $50 million under the facility. The aggregate additional principal amount that may be borrowed under the ABL Credit Agreement, based on the borrowing base, less $50 million of outstanding letters of credit and guarantees, was $213 million at March 31, 2018.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents of $311 million as of March 31, 2018, future cash provided by operating activities and borrowings available under the ABL Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our future cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our ability to meet these requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

See discussion in Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Debt Ratings

On the Emergence Date, the Company obtained ratings from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard and Poor's ("S&P") and Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”). Moody’s issued a corporate family rating of “B2” with a stable outlook and a rating of the 7-year $2,925 million Term Loan Credit Agreement of “B2”. S&P issued a definitive corporate credit rating of "B" with a stable outlook and a rating of the Term Loan Credit Agreement of "B". Fitch issued a Long-Term Issuer Default Rating of “B” with a stable outlook and a rating of the Term Loan Credit Agreement of “B+”.

Our ability to obtain additional external financing and the related cost of borrowing may be affected by our ratings, which are periodically reviewed by the major credit rating agencies. The ratings are subject to change or withdrawal at any time by the respective credit rating agencies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management has reassessed the critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Registration Statement on Form 10 Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on January 10, 2018 and determined that there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies for the period from December 16, 2017 through March 31, 2018 and the period from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017, except for recently adopted accounting policy changes as discussed in the Notes to our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See discussion in the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, included in Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Form 10 filed with the SEC on January 10, 2018, for further details.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense, interest income and depreciation and amortization and excludes the results of discontinued operations. EBITDA provides us with a measure of operating performance that excludes items that are outside the control of management, which can differ significantly from company to company depending on capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments.

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA as further adjusted by the items noted in the reconciliation table below. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a measure of our financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, such as our pricing strategies, volume, costs and expenses of the organization, and therefore presents our financial

performance in a way that can be more easily compared to prior quarters or fiscal years. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA serves as a basis for determining certain management and employee compensation. We also present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe analysts and investors utilize these measures in analyzing our results.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools. EBITDA measures do not represent net income (loss) or cash flow from operations as those terms are defined by GAAP and do not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. While EBITDA measures are frequently used as measures of operations and the ability to meet debt service requirements, these terms are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. Further, Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our formulation of Adjusted EBITDA allows adjustment for certain amounts that are included in calculating net income (loss) as set forth in the following table including, but not limited to, restructuring charges, certain fees payable to our Predecessor private equity sponsors and other advisors, resolution of certain legal matters and a portion of our pension costs and post-employment benefits costs, which represents the amortization of pension service costs and actuarial gain (loss) associated with these benefits. However, these are expenses that may recur, may vary and/or may be difficult to predict.

The unaudited reconciliation of net income (loss), which is a GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated, is presented below:

^(a)

Effective January 19, 2017, the Company ceased recording interest expense on outstanding pre-petition debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Contractual interest expense represents amounts due under the contractual terms of outstanding debt, including debt subject to compromise. For the periods from October 1, 2017 through December 15, 2017 and January 19, 2017 through March 31, 2017, contractual interest expense related to debt subject to compromise of $94 million and $88 million, respectively, had not been recorded, as it was not expected to be an allowed claim under the Bankruptcy Filing.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There are no other material changes to the disclosures included in Amendment No. 3 to our Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC on January 10, 2018 other than those discussed below.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company has exposure to changing interest rates primarily under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and ABL Credit Agreement, each of which bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR. As of March 31, 2018, a 25 basis point increase in LIBOR would result in a $7 million increase in our annual interest expense and a 25 basis point decrease in LIBOR would result in a $7 million decrease in our annual interest expense.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the potential change in value, income and cash flow arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Each of our non-U.S. ("foreign") operations maintains capital in the currency of the country of its geographic location consistent with local regulatory guidelines. Each foreign operation may conduct business in its local currency, as well as the currency of other countries in which it operates. The primary foreign currency exposures for these foreign operations are Euros, Canadian Dollars, British Pound Sterling and Chinese Renminbi.

Non-U.S. denominated revenue was $146 million and $309 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 (Successor and Predecessor combined), respectively. We estimate a 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all foreign currencies would have increased our revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 by $15 million and $31 million, respectively. A 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to all foreign currencies would have decreased our revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 by $15 million and $31 million, respectively.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.) Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the

Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2018, solely because of the material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company identified control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting:

•

The appropriate complement of resources in its tax department commensurate with the volume and complexity of accounting for income taxes subsequent to the Company’s Bankruptcy Filing were not maintained, which contributed to the following control deficiencies, each of which are individually considered to be material weaknesses, relating to the completeness and accuracy of the Company’s accounting for income taxes, including the related tax assets and liabilities:


◦	Control activities over the completeness and accuracy of interim forecasts by tax jurisdiction used in accounting for the Company’s interim income tax provision were not performed at the appropriate level of precision. This control deficiency resulted in an adjustment to the Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.


◦	Control activities over the completeness and accuracy of the allocation of the tax provision calculations (the “intraperiod allocation”) were insufficient to ensure that the intraperiod allocation balances were accurately determined. This control deficiency resulted in an adjustment to the Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

These control deficiencies resulted in material adjustments to our income tax provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. These adjustments were detected and corrected prior to the release of the related financial statements. However, the existence of these control deficiencies could result in misstatement of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures in the future that could result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.

Management has begun implementing a remediation plan to address the control deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses referenced above. The remediation plan includes the following:

•

Implementing specific additional review procedures over the income tax provision calculations for interim quarters to ensure that the results of such calculations are not inconsistent with the actual results and trends being observed in the business. The deficiency, and the related remediation, applies only to interim quarters in which the income tax provision is based on forecast results for the year. The controls and processes related to the income tax provision for our fiscal year-end are not affected as they are based on actual results for the year.


•	Hiring additional personnel, including a Vice President of Tax, with the appropriate experience and technical expertise in income taxes.

The Company identified an additional material weakness in connection with the preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 related to the reconciliation of United States cash and accounts receivable upon the adoption of fresh start accounting. Specifically, the Company's internal controls with respect to the mid-month reconciliation of United States cash receipts and accounts receivable required in connection with the adoption of fresh start accounting, in accordance with GAAP, did not operate effectively to record certain cash receipts that were received on December 15, 2017, the date the Company emerged from bankruptcy.

This control deficiency resulted in an adjustment in the current quarter's financial statements of our cash and accounts receivable as of December 15, 2017, our cash flow statements, and the revision of our consolidated financial statements for the predecessor period ended December 15, 2017 and the successor period ended December 31, 2017. Additionally, if not remediated this control deficiency could result in a future misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, we determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

In order to remediate this material weakness, management will provide additional training for employees involved in the cash and accounts receivable reconciliation processes, as well as certain other reconciliation processes, and supplement existing reviewers with higher skilled resources.

Notwithstanding the above identified material weaknesses, management believes the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly represent, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

The information included in Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference.



Item 1A.	Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2018 to the risk factors previously disclosed in Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC on January 10, 2018 other than as shown below:

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we do not adequately remediate these material weaknesses, or if we experience additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, or comply with the accounting and reporting requirements applicable to public companies, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we identified control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017. Specifically, we did not maintain the appropriate complement of resources in our tax department commensurate with the volume and complexity of accounting for income taxes subsequent to our voluntary filing of chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Please see the control deficiencies described in “Item 4. Controls and Procedures”.

We identified an additional material weakness in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 related to the reconciliation of cash and accounts receivables upon the adoption of fresh start accounting. Specifically, the mid-month reconciliation of cash receipts and accounts receivables required in connection with the adoption of fresh start accounting were not performed adequately to appropriately record certain cash receipts that were received on December 15, 2017, the date we emerged from bankruptcy. Please see the control deficiencies described in “Item 4. Controls and Procedures”.

Although we are in the process of carrying out remediation activities, we cannot provide any assurance that the measures we have taken to date, together with any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate our material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or to avoid potential future material weaknesses. If the steps we take do not correct the material weaknesses in a timely manner, we will be unable to conclude that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, this could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis and we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. Consequently, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price, to the extent it is listed, may decline as a result. We could also become subject to investigations by the New York Stock Exchange, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm our reputation, business and financial condition and divert financial and management resources from our business operations.

Item 5.	Other Information.

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 added Section 13(r) to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Section 13(r) requires an issuer to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran. Disclosure is required even when the activities, transactions or dealings are conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. affiliates in compliance with applicable law and regardless of whether such activities, transactions or dealings are subject to U.S. jurisdiction under U.S. sanctions laws and regulations.

As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any activity, transaction or dealing by us or any of our affiliates during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that requires disclosure in this report under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, except for the matter described below, which involves (1) Avaya International Sales LTD (“AISL”), an Avaya entity that sells products through direct sales, distributors, and business partners in all territories other than the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and (2) Hong Kong Telecommunications Ltd. (“HKT”), a third party business partner of Avaya responsible for a sales territory that includes Hong Kong, Macau, and China. The following disclosure is made pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.

During Avaya’s recent review of its compliance practices in regards to sanctions regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Avaya determined that AISL processed a sales order received through HKT for an end user identified as MelliBank PLc Hong Kong Branch (“MBHK”). Though this entity is not specifically identified on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, it is designated as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons (“SDN”) as a result of the SDN designation of its ultimate parent company in 2016 pursuant to Executive Order 13599. The gross revenues Avaya received from the sale were $4,954.01 and the net profits from the sale were $2,031.15. Once the sale to MBHK was discovered, Avaya terminated all agreements and dealings with MBHK, including a sales and maintenance agreement. Avaya does not intend to engage in any future activities, transactions or dealings with MBHK.

Avaya filed a voluntary disclosure with OFAC on April 4, 2018 regarding the matter described above. Avaya remains committed to complying fully with U.S. sanctions laws and regulations and has devoted significant resources to its global trade compliance program. Avaya is in the process of implementing various enhancements to strengthen its existing global trade compliance procedures and plans to work with HKT on implementation of other remedial measures, including an improvement plan designed to prevent future exposure to persons targeted under U.S. sanctions.
