Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Description of Business

DZS Inc. (referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as “DZS” or the “Company”) is a global provider of access and optical networking infrastructure and artificial intelligence ("AI") driven cloud software solutions that enable the emerging hyper-connected, hyper-broadband world and broadband experiences. The Company provides a wide array of reliable, cost-effective networking technologies and cloud software to a diverse customer base.

DZS was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in June 1999. The Company is headquartered in Plano, Texas with contract manufacturers located in the U.S., China, India, and Korea. The Company maintains offices to provide sales and customer support at global locations.

On April 5, 2024, the Company completed a divestiture of certain subsidiaries in Asia (the "Asia Sale"). The divestiture allows DZS to focus on the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), and Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) regions that are strategically aligned with the technology and acquisition investments made over the past several years.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2024. For a complete description of what the Company believes to be the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Operating results of subsidiaries divested in conjunction with the Asia Sale were classified as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the current year or any other period.

(c) Risks and Uncertainties

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

We continue to be exposed to macroeconomic pressures in the post-COVID-19 environment, including concerns about energy costs, geopolitical issues, inflation, the availability and cost of credit, business and consumer confidence, and unemployment. We have seen improvement in our supply chain in 2024 as supply chain pricing, freight and logistics costs, product and component availability, and extended lead-times which were a challenge in prior years begin to alleviate. We expect elevated costs for components and expedite fees to further improve throughout 2024.

(d) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(e) Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents revenues by product technology (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Access Networking Infrastructure	$	23,612	$	20,951	$	43,844	$	55,956
Cloud Software & Services	7,454		9,672		14,889		19,034
Total	$	31,066	$	30,623	$	58,733	$	74,990

The following table present revenues by geographical concentration (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Americas	$	11,452	$	15,100	$	27,409	$	40,066
Europe, Middle East, Africa	16,324		14,907		27,147		32,961
Asia, Australia, New Zealand	3,290		616		4,177		1,963
Total	$	31,066	$	30,623	$	58,733	$	74,990

(f) Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, and contract assets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of financial deposits and money market accounts principally held by various domestic and international financial institutions with high credit standing. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured limits.

The Company’s customers include competitive and incumbent local exchange carriers, competitive access providers, internet service providers, wireless carriers and resellers serving these markets. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for credit losses based on the expected collectability of accounts receivable using historical loss rates adjusted for customer-specific factors and current economic conditions. The Company determines historical loss rates on a rational and systematic basis. The Company performs periodic assessments of its customers’ liquidity and financial condition by analyzing information obtained from credit rating agencies, financial statement review and historical and current collection trends.

Activity under the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses consists of the following (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	4,282	$	2,971
Charged to expense, net of recoveries	(333)		530
Foreign currency exchange impact	(12)		17
Balance at end of period	$	3,937	$	3,518

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 11% of net revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, no customers accounted for more than 10% of net revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenue.

As of June 30, 2024, one customer represented 15% of net accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, one customer represented 10% of net accounts receivable.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net accounts receivables from customers in countries other than the United States represented 77% and 74%, respectively.

(g) Business Combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires the identification of the acquirer, the determination of the acquisition date and the allocation of the purchase price paid by the acquirer to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their expected useful lives. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date .

(h) Restructuring and Other Charges

From time to time, the Company takes actions to align its workforce, facilities and operating costs with perceived market opportunities, business strategies and changes in market and business conditions. The Company recognizes a liability for the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for one-time employee termination benefits, which are measured at the communication date and recognized ratably over the required service period, if any.

(i) Warrants

The Company accounts for warrant instruments as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. Upon issuance, warrants are initially measured at fair value.

(j) Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups and related liabilities as held-for-sale when management having the appropriate authority, generally the Company's Board of Directors ("the Board") or certain Executive Officers, commits to a plan of sale, the disposal group is ready for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. Once classified as held-for-sale, disposal groups are valued at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of disposal.

The Company accounts for discontinued operations when there is a disposal of a component group or a group of components that represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company aggregates the results of operations for discontinued operations into a single line item in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented.

Unless specifically noted otherwise, footnote disclosures reflect the results of continuing operations only. The results of discontinued operations are presented in Note 2 Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

(k) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which aims to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU address the investor requests for more transparency of income tax information and apply to all entities that are subject to income taxes. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the changes required by the new standard on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC issued Release Nos. 33-11275; 34-99678 "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors", which require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The compliance date for this release was scheduled to be fiscal year 2027 for smaller reporting companies. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of this new rule pending judicial review. The Company is currently analyzing the impact that the new climate-related rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(2) Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company made a strategic decision to divest certain entities in Asia with the intention, among other things, to focus its market strategy, technology and innovation on the Americas, EMEA and ANZ regions. On January 5, 2024, the Company and DZS California Inc. (“DZS California”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with DASAN Networks, Inc. (“DNI”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, DZS California sold to DNI all of the equity interests in DASAN Network Solutions, Inc., a Korean company (“DNS Korea”), D-Mobile Limited, a Taiwan company, DZS Vietnam Company Limited, a Vietnamese company, Dasan India Private Limited, an Indian company, and DZS Japan, Inc., a Japanese company (the “Asia Sale”). The purchase price for the divestiture consisted of $3.8 million cash, net of certain adjustments, and the elimination of approximately $34.3 million in debt and interest owed to DNI as of the transaction date. DNI also assumed all DNS Korea's debt obligations to foreign banks outstanding as of the transaction date. The Asia Sale closed on April 5, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, DNI owns approximately 24.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

The disposition of the operations represented a major strategic shift in the business and met the criteria of discontinued operations. The Company has classified the assets and liabilities of the Asia business as held for sale as of December 31, 2023.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax and the loss on the sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of the Asia business, which is presented in total in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

Agreements with divested entities

In connection with the completion of the Asia Sale on April 5, 2024, the Company entered into several agreements with certain divested entities (collectively referred to as "DNS") that, among other things, provide a framework for the Company’s relationship with these entities after the Asia Sale. The following summarizes some of the most significant agreements and relationships that the Company continues to have with DNS.

(3) Business Combinations

NetComm Acquisition

On June 1, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding equity of NetComm Wireless Pty Ltd and its subsidiary (collectively “NetComm”) from Casa Communications Holdings Pty Ltd (“Casa Communications”) for a combination of cash and contingent consideration (the "NetComm Acquisition"). NetComm is a leading broadband networking innovator in the 5G fixed wireless, home broadband, fiber-extension and IoT technology domains. NetComm serves communications service providers and enterprise customers in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The primary driver for the acquisition was to expand its product portfolio and accelerate growth opportunities in foreign markets.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement with Casa Communications, all rights, titles, and interests in the shares of NetComm were acquired for approximately $8.1 million in cash in addition to contingent consideration, determined based on the revenues from existing, agreed-upon customers during the year ended December 31, 2024. The contingent consideration in this arrangement includes future cash payments of varying amounts based on the 2024 revenue thresholds achieved, starting at $75 million, with a maximum payout of $3.0 million. This contingent consideration was determined to be liability-classified, as it is settled solely in cash, and the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the Closing Date, approximately $0.1 million, was determined using the income approach, specifically a Monte-Carlo simulation, a Level 3 fair value approach due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment, which used the following significant assumptions: projected financial information, volatility (30.0%), discount rate (12.1%), risk-free rate (5.4%), and cost of debt (13.5%). The Company will be required to remeasure this liability to fair value quarterly with any changes in the fair value recorded in income until the final payment is made.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the Company identified as the acquirer. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price has been assigned to the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.6 million, which were expensed in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

13

As of June 30, 2024, the purchase price allocation for the acquisition is provisional, pending the completion of management’s review of the valuation of the acquired intangible assets, determination of the associated income tax impacts, and determination of the final bargain purchase gain.

The table below sets forth the consideration paid, the provisional fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the estimated bargain purchase gain for the acquisition (in thousands):

Consideration Paid
Cash	$	8,146
Contingent consideration	81
Total Consideration	$	8,227
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents	$	820
Accounts receivable	2,499
Inventories	47,109
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	463
Property, plant and equipment, net	726
Intangible assets:
Trade name	480
Developed technology	2,960
In-process research and development	710
Customer relationships	1,070
Bargain purchase gain	(41,544)
Right-of-use assets from operating leases	961
Total assets	$	16,254
Accrued liabilities	2,190
Due to seller	3,319
Deferred revenue	26
Lease liability	952
Other non-current liabilities	1,540
Total liabilities	$	8,027
Total net assets	$	8,227

The fair value of certain working capital items, including accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the other non-current liability approximates their respective carrying values at the date of the acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement with Casa Communications, certain working capital items remain with Casa Communications, and any amounts collected or paid as a result of these items are to be remitted or collected from Casa Communications in the post-combination period. As a result, a due to seller has been recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 6, 2024 with the net expected amount to be repaid to Casa Communications as a result of this arrangement.

The Company has adopted ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which created an exception to the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations, for the Company’s contract assets and liabilities, including deferred revenue, resulting in the carryover of the historical amounts determined in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than fair value.

14

The fair value of the fixed assets was determined to be commensurate with their carrying value. The fair value of the trade name, developed technology, and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") was determined using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method, which includes the following Level 3 assumptions: percent of revenue attributable to the asset, royalty rate (ranging from 0.5% to 3.0%), income tax rate (30%), and discount rate (ranging from 17.1% to 18.1%). The acquired trade name will be amortized over a two-year period. The acquired developed technology and IPR&D will be amortized over periods ranging from one to three years and five to seven years, respectively.

The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings approach, which includes the following Level 3 assumptions: revenue attribution, margin rates (ranging between 5% to 7%), contributory asset charges (2.9%), income tax rates (30%), and discount rates (18.1%). The acquired customer relationships will be amortized over a two-year period.

At acquisition, the Company recognized a provisional bargain purchase gain of approximately $41.5 million, which was separately recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The bargain purchase gain represents the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition exceeds the fair value of the purchase consideration. The Company determined the bargain purchase gain is appropriate as the sellers were in financial distress and the NetComm business was acquired out of bankruptcy.

Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information

Included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the quarter-ended June 30, 2024 are revenue and net income of NetComm of $4.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from June 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024. The following table presents certain provisional unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as if the NetComm acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024, including recognition of the estimated bargain purchase gain of $41.5 million. Additional adjustments include the amortization of certain estimated fair value adjustments related to intangible assets acquired.

The Company expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies resulting from the acquisition that are not reflected in the pro forma amounts. The provisional pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the historical results of operations had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024 nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods.

	Combined Pro Forma Results (Unaudited)		Combined Pro Forma Results (Unaudited)
(in thousands)	Year to date June 30, 2024		Year ended December 31, 2023
Revenue	$	76,363	$	213,434
Net income (loss)	$	3,075	$	(118,770)

(4) Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1    Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2    Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3    Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

15

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

The carrying values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The Company classifies its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash within Level 1 and other short-term assets and liabilities within Level 2. The carrying value of the Company's debt approximates its fair values based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of similar terms and maturities. The Company classifies its debt within Level 2.

The Company classifies its contingent liability from Optelian acquisition within Level 3 as it includes inputs not observable in the market. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using the revenue forecast for certain Optelian products through the end of 2023. The fair value of contingent liability is generally sensitive to changes in the revenue forecast during the payout period. The change in the respective fair value is included in selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s Level 3 contingent liability (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	306	$	1,156
Initial fair value of contingent liability	81		—
Cash payments	—		(347)
Net change in fair value	33		(214)
Balance at end of period	$	420	$	595

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the NetComm acquisition at their acquisition date fair value, which was determined using primarily level three inputs, defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. See Note 3 Business Combinations for further information about significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement.

(5) Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consisted of financial deposits. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held within the U.S. totaled $3.3 million and $13.4 million as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held within the U.S. are held at FDIC insured depository institutions. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held outside the U.S. totaled $4.9 million and $1.7 million as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Restricted cash consisted primarily of cash collateral for letters of credit.

(6) Balance Sheet Details

Balance sheet detail as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

Inventories

	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Raw materials	$	17,831	$	18,133
Finished goods	62,318		14,980
Total inventories	$	80,149	$	33,113

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being computed based on an adjusted standard basis, which approximates actual cost on an average or first-in, first-out basis.

The Company recorded an inventory write-down recovery of $0.2 million and $4.0 million for the three and six period ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for inventory write-down of $2.5 million and $3.3 million for the three and six period ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Total property, plant and equipment, net	$	3,275	$	3,108

Depreciation expense associated with property, plant and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Depreciation expense associated with property, plant and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Warranties

The Company accrues warranty costs based on historical trends for the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. The Company's standard warranty period is one year from the date of shipment with the ability for customers to purchase an extended warranty of up to five years from the date of shipment. The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	1,148	$	1,401
Assumed with business acquisition	638		—
Charged to cost of revenue	(423)		21
Claims and settlements	—		(51)
Foreign currency exchange impact	(4)		5
Balance at end of period	$	1,359	$	1,369

Contract Balances

The Company records contract assets when it has a right to consideration and records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities consist of cash payments received (or unconditional rights to receive cash) in advance of fulfilling performance obligations. The majority of the Company's performance obligations in its contracts with customers relate to contracts with duration of less than one year.

The opening and closing balances of current and long-term contract assets and contract liabilities related to contracts with customers are as follows:

	Contract assets		Contract liabilities
December 31, 2023	$	825	$	17,779
June 30, 2024	$	786	$	15,921

The decrease in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the revenue recognition criteria being met for previously deferred revenue, partially offset by invoiced amounts that did not yet meet the revenue recognition criteria. The amount of revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the prior period contract liability balance was $9.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had been invoiced prior to the current period. We expect to recognize approximately 85% of outstanding contract liabilities as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

The balance of contract cost deferred as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.2 million in amortization related to contract cost deferred as of December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.4 million in amortization related to contract cost deferred as of December 31, 2022.

Tradenames	300		(48)		252
Total intangible assets, net	$	33,527	$	(8,462)	$	25,065

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Amortization expense associated with intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The following table presents the future amortization expense of the Company’s intangible assets as of June 30, 2024 (in thousands):

(8) Debt

EdgeCo Term Loans

On December 29, 2023, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “EdgeCo Loan Agreement”) with EdgeCo, LLC (“EdgeCo”), as lender. Pursuant to the EdgeCo Loan Agreement, the Company received a three-year term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $15.0 million. The principal amount of the loan is payable on December 29, 2026 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 13.0% per annum; provided, however, that in connection with the EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement, the maturity date of the EdgeCo Loan Agreement was extended to May 31, 2027.

The EdgeCo Loan Agreement contains various covenants that limit the ability of the Company (and in certain cases, certain of its subsidiaries) to, among other things, enter into any merger or consolidation, incur indebtedness, incur liens, make dividends or stock repurchases, and acquire any businesses (other than a similar business to that of the Company).

18

The EdgeCo Loan Agreement contains events of default that are customary for loans of this type. If an event of default occurs under the Loan Agreement, EdgeCo will be entitled to accelerate and call the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest and to take various actions against the collateral, including by exercising its right to acquire or sell the collateral to satisfy any obligations under the outstanding indebtedness.

The EdgeCo Loan Agreement also (i) includes preemptive rights that allow EdgeCo to exercise a right of first refusal in the event the Company decides to seek additional debt financing of up to $15.0 million for additional operating capital or to offer for sale additional unregistered shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, before December 31, 2026 and (ii) in connection with the Warrant Agreement (as defined below), provides EdgeCo with the right to designate a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, in each case subject to certain limitations and exceptions. In particular, EdgeCo’s designation right will terminate upon (x) the payment in full of the loan obligations and (y) its ownership of the Company’s Common Stock being less than 4.9% of the total outstanding Common Stock.

In connection with the EdgeCo Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into (i) a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2023, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that issued a warrant to EdgeCo to subscribe for 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share, which represents the closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Warrant Agreement, and (ii) a Registration Rights Agreement (the “EdgeCo Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2023, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that provides EdgeCo customary demand and piggyback registration rights for the 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant, in the event the warrant is exercised. The warrant was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and was issued pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration thereunder provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The $7.2 million value of the warrant was recognized in stockholders’ equity, as the warrant satisfied all criteria for equity classification under ASC 815. The warrant is not remeasured each reporting period. The amount allocated to the warrant was accounted for as a debt discount and recorded as a reduction of debt obligation.

On May 31, 2024, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement”) with EdgeCo, LLC, as lender. Pursuant to the EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement, the Company received a three-year term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $15.0 million. The principal amount of the Loan is payable on May 31, 2027 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 13.0% per annum.

The EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement contains various covenants that limit the ability of the Company (and in certain cases, certain of its subsidiaries) to, among other things, enter into any merger or consolidation, incur indebtedness, incur liens, make dividends or stock repurchases, and acquire any businesses (other than a similar business to that of the Company).

The EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement contains events of default that are customary for loans of this type. If an event of default occurs under the Loan Agreement, EdgeCo will be entitled to accelerate and call the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest and to take various actions against the collateral, including by exercising its right to acquire or sell the collateral to satisfy any obligations under the outstanding indebtedness.

The EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement also includes preemptive rights that allow EdgeCo to exercise a right of first refusal in the event the Company decides to seek additional debt financing of up to $15.0 million for additional operating capital or to offer for sale additional unregistered shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), before December 31, 2028.

In connection with the EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into (i) a Warrant Agreement (the “Second Warrant Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2024, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that issued a warrant to EdgeCo to subscribe for 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.9095 per share, which represents 85% of the closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ on April 18, 2024, and (ii) an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “EdgeCo A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2024, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that provides EdgeCo customary demand and piggyback registration rights for, in the aggregate, the 12,200,000 shares of Common Stock underlying that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2023, by and between the Company and EdgeCo, and the Warrant Agreement, in the event the warrants are exercised. The warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were issued pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration thereunder provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The $6.6 million value of the warrant was recognized in stockholders’ equity, as the warrant satisfied all criteria for equity classification under ASC 815. The warrant is not remeasured each reporting period. The amount allocated to the warrant was accounted for as a debt discount and recorded as a reduction of debt obligation.

These insurance contracts are classified as other assets on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company intends to use any proceeds from these policies to fund the pension plans. However, since the Company is the beneficiary on these policies, these assets have not been designated pension plan assets.

(10) Restructuring and Other Charges

On September 17, 2022, DZS signed an agreement with Fabrinet, a third-party provider of electromechanical and electronic manufacturing and distribution services, to transition the sourcing, procurement, order-fulfillment, manufacturing and return merchandise authorization activities in the Company's Seminole, Florida facility to Fabrinet. The transition to Fabrinet began in October 2022 and substantially completed in the beginning of 2023. Post transition, the DZS Seminole, Florida-based operations, supply chain and manufacturing workforce was reduced by approximately two-thirds and the remaining team was relocated to an appropriately sized facility. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.9 million of restructuring related costs, consisting of facility and labor costs of $0.6 million and other costs of $0.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $4.4 million of restructuring related costs, consisting of freight costs of $0.9 million, facility and labor costs of $1.7 million, accelerated depreciation of manufacturing related assets of $0.4 million, inventory write-off of $0.5 million, and other costs of $0.9 million.

(11) Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common stock equivalents are excluded if their effect is antidilutive. Potential common stock equivalents are composed of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of restricted stock units. In periods when a net loss is reported, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported, basic and dilutive loss per share are the same.

The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator in the basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share calculation (in thousands, except per share data) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income (loss)	$	22,122	$	(24,836)	$	3,416	$	(48,654)
Income (loss) from continuing operations	$	23,073	$	(22,604)	$	9,538	$	(42,639)
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes and loss on sale of discontinued operations	$	(951)	$	(2,232)	$	(6,122)	$	(6,015)

(12) Leases

The Company leases certain properties and buildings (including manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office spaces) and equipment under various arrangements which provide the right to use the underlying asset and require lease payments for the lease term. The Company’s lease portfolio consists of operating leases which expire at various dates through 2028.

Assets and liabilities related to operating leases are included in the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets from operating leases, operating lease liabilities - current and operating lease liabilities - non-current. The Company recognizes minimum rental expense on a straight-line basis based on the fixed components of a lease arrangement. The Company amortizes this expense over the term of the lease beginning with the date of initial possession, which is the date the lessor makes an underlying asset available for use. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized lease expense of $0.4 million and 0.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized lease expense of $0.9 million and 1.5 million, respectively.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

Plume

On October 10, 2022, Plume Design, Inc. (“Plume”) filed suit against DZS in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, alleging that DZS breached a reseller contract with Plume and seeking $24.75 million in damages. The parties have completed briefing on dispositive motions, and we expect trial to be set in the first half of 2025. DZS intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Class Action

In June and August of 2023, DZS shareholders filed three putative securities class actions related to DZS’s June 1, 2023 Form 8-K announcing the Company’s intention to restate its financial statements for the first quarter of 2023.  Each suit was filed in the Eastern District of Texas.  All three cases allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act against DZS, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The cases are: (1) Shim v. DZS et al., filed June 14, 2023; (2) Link v. DZS et al., filed June 27, 2023; and (3) Cody v. DZS et al., filed August 9, 2023.

Three potential lead plaintiffs filed applications for appointment on August 14, 2023. On September 12, 2023, the cases were consolidated under the lead case Shim v. DZS et al. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages, interest, fees, costs and interest. As of July 31, 2024, the court has not yet ruled on the appointment of a lead plaintiff and the Defendants have not yet responded to any complaint. DZS intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits.

In light of the events giving rise to the restatement, DZS began cooperating, and intends to continue to cooperate, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which has informed DZS that it is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws related to DZS.

On June 3, 2024, counsel for a shareholder of the Company sent the Company a demand for certain books and records related to events related to the Company’s June 1, 2023 Form 8-K. The demand was made pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. While the Company does not concede the demand is proper, it has produced certain records to the shareholder.

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company records an accrual for legal contingencies that it has determined to be probable to the extent that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations and cash flows of the reporting period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.

(14) Income Taxes

Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.3 million on pre-tax income of $22.7 million. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.8 million on pre-tax income of $10.3 million. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $0.5 million and $3.0 million on pre-tax loss of $22.1 million and $39.7 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023, the income tax rate varied from the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances in North America, and EMEA, mandatory R&D expense capitalization in the U.S., and foreign and state

23

income tax rate differentials. Consistent with the prior periods, the Company continued to maintain valuation allowances in North America and EMEA

As of June 30, 2024, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, was $5.2 million. There were no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes with respect to unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

OVERVIEW

We are a global provider of access and optical networking infrastructure and artificial intelligence ("AI") driven cloud software solutions that enable the emerging hyper-connected, hyper-broadband world and broadband experiences. The Company provides a wide array of reliable, cost-effective networking technologies and cloud software to a diverse customer base.

We research, develop, test, sell, manufacture and support platforms in the areas of mobile transport and fixed broadband access, as discussed below. We have extensive regional development and support centers around the world to support our customer needs.

Our solutions and platforms portfolio includes products for Network Edge (Access and Optical), Connectivity, and Cloud Software solutions.

•Network Edge (Access). Our DZS Velocity portfolio offers a variety of solutions for carriers and service providers to connect residential and enterprise customers, either using high-speed fiber. Once our broadband access products are deployed, the service provider can offer voice, high-definition and ultra-high-definition video, highspeed internet access and business class services to their customers. In addition, the switching and routing products we provide in this space offer a high-performance and manageable solution that bridges the gap from carrier access technologies to the core network. DZS “system-on-a-card” technology increases the velocity with which service providers can leap to multi-gigabit services at scale by enabling rapid transition from Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (“GPON”) to 10 Gigabit Symmetrical Passive Optical Network (“XGS-PON”) and 50 Gigabit Passive Optical Network (“50G PON”) in the future, and Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet via any service port across a range of existing DZS Velocity chassis and 10 gigabit optimized stackable fixed form factor units.

25

•Network Edge (Optical). Our DZS Saber portfolio provides robust, manageable and scalable solutions for mobile operators and service providers that enable them to modularly upgrade their edge transport to 400 gigabit per second (400 Gbps) speed as well as provide mobile fronthaul/midhaul/backhaul (“xHaul”) systems capable of supporting the transport needs for fifth generation wireless technologies (“5G”) and beyond. Our Saber solutions are 5G-ready xHaul and coherent optical capable and are open, software-defined, and field proven. Our mobile xHaul and edge transport products may be collocated at the radio access node base station and can aggregate multiple radio access node base stations into a single backhaul for delivery of mobile traffic to the radio access node network controller or be leveraged as transport vehicles for FTTx deployments. Our products support pure Ethernet switching as well as layer 3 IP and Multiprotocol Label Switching (“MPLS”), and we interoperate with other vendors in these networks. The Saber portfolio also provides high bandwidth optical transport and services, enabling service providers to push high bandwidth transport closer to their subscribers near the edge of their networks. Complementary to the growth of high bandwidth technologies like XGS-PON and 5G mobile at the access edge, Saber products leverage environmentally hardened dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) coherent optics to deliver transport bandwidth speeds from 100 Gbps to 400 Gbps over long distances that can be necessary to support advanced access and mobile technologies. Some DZS Saber platforms also provide additional feature such as multi-degree colorless directionless contentionless (CDC) FlexGrid reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) functionality, which allows service providers to easily adjust to changing network traffic demands.

•Connectivity. Our DZS Helix connected premises product portfolio, our Aurus fixed wireless access (FWA) products, our fiber extension portfolio, and our industrial internet of things (IIoT) products offer a large collection of solutions at or near the customer premises to enable and facilitate broadband connectivity via Wi-Fi, 4G/5G and Gfast technologies.

Net Revenue

The following table presents our revenues by product technology (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		Increase (Decrease)		2024		2023		Increase (Decrease)
Access Networking Infrastructure	$	23,612	$	20,951	12.7	%	$	43,844	$	55,956	(21.6)	%
Cloud Software & Services	7,454		9,672		(22.9)	%	14,889		19,034		(21.8)	%
Total	$	31,066	$	30,623	1.4	%	$	58,733	$	74,990	(21.7)	%

Our revenue from sales of access networking infrastructure products includes Network Edge and Connectivity product solutions. Our cloud software and services revenue represents revenue from our Cloud Software solutions including DZS Xtreme, Expresse and CloudCheck software, and revenue from maintenance and other professional services associated with product shipments.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, access networking infrastructure revenue increased by 12.7% or 2.7 million to $23.6 million from $21.0 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the NetComm Acquisition, which contributed $4.2 million to the net revenue for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, access networking infrastructure revenue decreased by 21.6% or 12.1 million to $43.8 million from $56.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower spending levels from our major customers in EMEA and Americas partially offset by sales related to the NetComm Acquisition. The decrease in cloud software and services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the decreased product and software sales.

29

The following table presents our revenues by geographical concentration (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		Increase (Decrease)		2024		2023		Increase (Decrease)
Americas	$	11,452	$	15,100	(24.2)	%	$	27,409	$	40,066	(31.6)	%
Europe, Middle East, Africa	16,324		14,907		9.5	%	$	27,147	$	32,961	(17.6)	%
Asia, Australia, New Zealand	3,290		616		434.1	%	$	4,177	$	1,963	112.8	%
Total	$	31,066	$	30,623	1.4	%	$	58,733	$	74,990	(21.7)	%

Our geographic diversification reflects the combination of market demand, a strategic focus on capturing market share through new customer wins and new product introductions.

The increase in net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to increased revenue in Asia, Australia, New Zealand region driven by the NetComm Acquisition. The decrease in net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to lower spending levels from our major customers in EMEA and Americas.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 11% of net revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, no customers accounted for more than 10% of net revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenue.

We anticipate that our results of operations in any given period may depend to a significant extent on sales to a small number of large customers. As a result, our revenue for any quarter may be subject to significant volatility based upon changes in orders from one or a small number of key customers.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Total cost of revenue was $20.6 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. Total cost of revenue was 66.4% of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 67.3% of net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which resulted in an increase in gross profit percentage to 33.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 32.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Total cost of revenue decreased by 25.4% to $35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $47.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Total cost of revenue was 60.8% of net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 63.7% of net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which resulted in an increase in gross profit percentage to 39.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 36.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The decrease in total cost of revenue was primarily due to the decrease in sales volume. The gross profit percentage increase was primarily due to the change in number and mix of products sold.

Operating Expenses

Research and Product Development Expenses: Research and product development expenses include personnel costs, outside contractor and consulting services, depreciation on lab equipment, costs of prototypes and overhead allocations.

Research and product development expenses decreased by 24.8% to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Research and product development expenses decreased by 25.8% to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to certain cost saving initiatives started by the Company in the third quarter of 2023.

We intend to continue to invest in research and product development to attain our strategic product development objectives, while seeking to manage the associated costs through expense controls.

Selling, Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs for sales, marketing, administration, finance, information technology, human resources and general management as well as legal and accounting expenses, rent, utilities, trade show expenses and related travel costs.

30

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 1.2% to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased by 11.3% to $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $38.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to certain cost saving initiatives started by the Company in the third quarter of 2023.

Restructuring and Other Charges: Restructuring and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 primarily related to the strategic decision to outsource manufacturing from the Company's Seminole, Florida facility to Fabrinet. Restructuring and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased since the transition to Fabrinet was substantially completed in 2023. See Note 10 Restructuring and Other Charges of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million for the right-of use assets from operating leases in connection with vacating a part of its office space in Plano, Texas, following the reduction in administrative personnel. No impairment changes were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Interest Expense, net: Interest expense, net relates mainly to earnings from our cash and cash equivalents, interest expense associated with the debt arrangements and amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with obtaining such debt arrangements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $1.4 million and $2.6 million of interest expense, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $1.5 million of interest expense, net.

Bargain purchase gain: In conjunction with NetComm Acquisition, the Company recognized a bargain purchase gain of approximately $41.5 million, which represents the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition exceeds the fair value of the purchase consideration. See Note 3 Business Combinations of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information.

Other Income (Expense), net: Other income (expense) relates mainly to realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains and losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.2 million and 0.6 million of other expense, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.1 million of other expense, net, and $0.3 million of other income, net, respectively. The change in other income (expense), net was primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates during the above periods.

Income Tax Provision: Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.3 million on pre-tax income of $22.7 million. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $0.8 million on pre-tax income of $10.3 million. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $0.5 million and $3.0 million on pre-tax loss of $22.1 million and $39.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the income tax rate varied from the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances in North America, and EMEA, mandatory R&D expense capitalization in the U.S., and foreign and state income tax rate differentials. Consistent with the prior periods, the Company continued to maintain valuation allowances in North America and EMEA

Net loss from discontinued operations: Net loss from discontinued operations decreased by 57.4% to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the timing of the Asia Sale. Net loss from discontinued operations increased by 1.8% to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to the loss on sale of discontinued operations recognized in the second quarter of 2024 partially offset by the timing of the Asia Sale. See Note 2 Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

For a complete description of what we believe to be the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as supplemented by Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operations are financed through a combination of our existing cash, cash equivalents, available credit facilities, and issuance of equity or debt instruments, based on our operating requirements and market conditions.

The following table summarizes the information regarding our cash and cash equivalents and working capital (in thousands):

	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents	$	6,869	$	13,822
Working capital	44,890		30,557

As of June 30, 2024, we had $44.9 million of working capital and $6.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, which included $4.8 million in cash balances held by our international subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's contractual debt obligation under the EdgeCo Loan Agreements was $30.0 million. On Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company’s debt obligation is included in Long-Term debt net of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance cost of $13.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

We continue to focus on cost management, operating efficiency and efficient discretionary spending. Management is actively taking measures to enhance profitability and liquidity, including reducing the Company’s cost structure and cash outflows, including its investment in inventory, and managing receivable balances through aggressive collection efforts and tighter customer payment terms. These plans are not completely within the Company’s control, as some actions are dependent on the Company’s lenders, vendors and customers. However, management believes that such plans are reasonably achievable and the Company will sufficiently meet its liquidity needs.

In addition, if necessary, we may sell assets, issue debt or equity securities, rationalize the number of products we sell, adjust our manufacturing footprint, and reduce our operations in low margin regions, including reductions in headcount. Based on our current forecast, plans and current business conditions, the Company believes its existing cash, together with the working capital balances, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements, including operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following table presents a summary of our cash flow activity for the periods set forth below (in thousands):

	Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations	$	(26,634)	$	(29,443)
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations	(7,571)		1,031
Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations	24,130		6,485
Net cash used in discontinued operations	(1,909)		(4,724)
Sale of discontinued operations, net of cash transferred	(35)		—
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(753)		(1,089)
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(12,772)	$	(27,740)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period	$	20,909	$	38,464
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period	$	8,137	$	10,724

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations decreased by $2.8 million to $26.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from net cash used in operating activities of $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to change in net working capital and certain cost saving initiatives started by the Company in the third quarter of 2023.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and consisted primarily of cash used in the NetComm Acquisition and purchases of property and equipment. This is in comparison to net cash provided by investing activities of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which consisted primarily of cash received from the sale of manufacturing equipment as part of transition to Fabrinet partially offset by cash used in purchases of property and equipment.

32

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $24.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and consisted primarily of net proceeds from the private placement of shares and the Second EdgeCo Loan. This is in comparison to net cash provided by financing activities of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which consisted primarily of borrowing under the JPM Revolving Credit Facility.

Discontinued operations

Net cash used in discontinued operations decreased by $2.8 million to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from net cash used in discontinued operations of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash used in discontinued operations was primarily due to proceeds from short-term borrowings of discontinued operations.

Cash Management

Our primary source of liquidity comes from our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, which totaled $8.1 million at June 30, 2024. Our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2024 included $4.9 million held by our international subsidiaries.

Debt Facilities

As of June 30, 2024, the Company's contractual debt obligation under the EdgeCo Loan Agreements was $30.0 million. On Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company’s debt obligation is included in Long-Term debt net of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance cost of $13.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Refer to Note 8 Debt, in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for more detail about our current and past debt obligations.

Future Cash Requirements and Funding Sources

Our fixed commitments for cash expenditures consist primarily of payments under operating leases, inventory purchase commitments, and payments of principal and interest for debt obligations.

From time to time, we may provide or commit to extend credit or credit support to our customers. This financing may include extending the terms for product payments to customers. Any extension of financing to our customers will limit the capital that we have available for other uses.

Our accounts receivable represent a concentration of credit risk because a significant portion of the accounts receivable balance at any point in time typically consists of a relatively small number of customer account balances. As of June 30, 2024, one customer represented 15% of net accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net accounts receivables from customers in countries other than the United States represented 77% and 74%, respectively. We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures, or any other material commitments aside from operating leases for our facilities, inventory purchase commitments and debt obligations.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) requires capitalization of all research and development ("R&D") costs incurred in tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2021 for tax reporting purposes. Capitalized R&D costs will be deductible over five years if the R&D activities are performed in the U.S. or 15 years if the activities are performed outside of the U.S. Due to the Company's significant annual investment in R&D, the impact of this legislation will accelerate the utilization of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and the timing of when the Company becomes a tax paying entity in the U.S.

Operating Leases

Future minimum operating lease obligations include primarily payments for our office locations and manufacturing, research and development locations, which expire at various dates through 2028. See Note 12 Leases of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our operating leases.

Purchase Commitments

We may have short-term purchase commitments related to the purchase orders for products and services, within the normal course of business. In certain instances, we are permitted to cancel, reschedule or adjust these orders.

Debt obligations

Future debt obligations include scheduled principal repayments, and associated interest payments which may vary based on changes in market interest rates. See Note 8 Debt to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our debt obligations.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objective that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our disclosure controls and procedures include those components of our internal control over financial reporting intended to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financials in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. The evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. In the course of the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024, due to the existence of unremediated material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.

A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses described below, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024, as a result of material weaknesses in the following areas:

Control Environment, Risk Assessment, Monitoring Activities, Information and Communication of Policies and Procedures

We did not maintain appropriately designed entity-level controls impacting the control environment and effective monitoring controls to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements. These deficiencies were attributed to (i) inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of control activities primarily in the Asia geographic region, (ii) ineffective identification and assessment of risks to properly design, implement, and maintain relevant controls for revenue recognition, (iii) inadequate education and training in certain areas important to financial reporting, and (iv) ineffective controls over ensuring consistent commitment to integrity and ethical values.

Control Activities Related to Certain Business Processes

These material weaknesses contributed to the following additional material weaknesses related to the control activities within certain business processes:

•Asia Region - We did not operate effective controls across substantially all of the Asia region’s business processes that were in place to achieve timely, complete, and accurate financial accounting, reporting, and disclosures.

•Revenue Recognition - We did not appropriately design, implement and maintain effective controls over the revenue recognition process, relating to the proper application of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The root cause of these control gaps was the inadequate or ineffective process level controls (including but not limited to controls around capturing and managing changes to customer order terms in the company’s records, timely processing of customer product returns, oversight of 3rd party

34

business partners, and evaluating non-standard customer shipping terms, and ensuring consistent commitment to integrity and ethical values in documenting and recording revenue arrangements.

•Information Produced by the Entity – We did not have effective controls over the adequate testing of reports used in the operation of controls.

•Income Tax Controls - We did not operate effective controls surrounding deferred tax assets and liabilities and timeliness of performance of controls.

•Information Technology General Controls – We did not operate effective information technology general controls (“ITGC’s”) in the areas of user access, segregation of duties, and data processing related to certain information technology systems.

•Delivery Terms - In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered a significant sales agreement with an existing customer which was subject to unique delivery terms. In reviewing the accounting for the revenue transaction, our management identified a deficiency in the effectiveness of a control intended to properly document and review relevant facts in connection with revenue recognition related to such transaction. Accordingly, a material error was detected in recorded revenue in our 2022 preliminary consolidated financial statements as a result of this misapplication of U.S. GAAP.

Remediation Plan and Status for Reported Material Weaknesses

We have been working and are currently working to remediate the material weaknesses described above, including assessing the need for additional remediation steps and implementing additional measures to remediate the underlying causes that gave rise to the material weaknesses. The Company is committed to a strong internal control environment as well as integrity and ethical values to ensure that a proper, consistent tone is communicated throughout the organization, including the expectation that previously existing deficiencies will be remediated through implementation of processes and controls to ensure strict compliance with GAAP and 2013 COSO framework.

As part of our commitment to strengthening our internal control over financial reporting, we have initiated or completed various personnel actions and remedial actions under the oversight of the Audit Committee, including:

•Initiated review and plan to enhance processes and controls around the IT environment and the use of key IT applications, including the storage, maintenance, the accessibility of transactional documentation, and the creation of key commercial documents within the Company’s Oracle system.

•Initiated review and plan to enhance processes and controls around internal control documentation and document retention.

•Review and design/improve the corporate compliance program', including:

◦Initiated a plan to Conduct an updated corporate risk assessment.

◦Completed a review, assessment, and update of the corporate code of conduct.

◦Issued statement from CEO on commitment to compliance and ethics and assess methods to regularly demonstrate effective “tone at the top” to foster culture of compliance

◦Plan to provide training to individuals who provide certifications or representations in connection with the company’s financial reporting on the meaning of the representations included therein.

◦Plan to develop and provide training throughout the organization on revenue recognition principles relating to the Company’s business, including specific training on issues discovered in the review.

◦Assessed, enhanced, and promoted the use of the whistleblower hotline, including making the hotline available to external parties

•Initiated an assessment and plan to enhance controls for corporate oversight of third-party manufacturers..

•Initiated a review and plan to assess the sufficiency of internal audit resources.

•Completed a review of all incentive and bonus compensation.

To address certain control activities related to material weakness in Revenue Recognition:

•Initiated a review and plan to improve internal controls and processes related to capturing and managing changes to transaction terms, including required documentation and approvals.

•Plan to evaluate the adequacy of internal controls related to warehousing provided in connection with product sales.

35

•Initiated a review and plan to improve internal controls and processes for customer refusal of delivery or indication of intent to return an order, including timely notification to designated accounting personnel.

•Plan to assess and enhance process for use of freight forwarders to address specific risks.

•Plan to assess and enhance corporate oversight of regional finance and accounting personnel.

•Plan to assess the adequacy of staffing in the accounting function.

•Plan to assess and enhance the contract review process to address financial reporting risk, including those related to inconsistencies in terms between the contract and transaction documents and non-standard transaction terms.

In addition to the remedial actions planned and undertaken under the oversight of the Audit Committee, we are in the process of, and continue to focus on, strengthening our internal controls over financial reporting to remediate the material weaknesses. Management’s additional initiated and completed remediation efforts for each identified material weakness include the following:

•Asia Region

On April 5, 2024, the Company consummated the sale of its Asia operations to Korea-based DASAN Networks Inc. (DNI) and therefore, no longer needs to maintain internal controls over financial reporting for operations in the Asia region.

•Revenue Recognition and Delivery Terms

Subsequent to the discovery of the revenue recognition material weakness, we initiated or completed the following remedial actions starting in the third quarter of 2023:

◦Initiated the design and implementation of enhanced internal controls surrounding identification, review and analysis of key transaction terms including documentation and approvals affecting revenue recognition for product sales orders to ensure that transactions are recorded in accordance with Company’s policies and GAAP.

◦Initiated an evaluation of the adequacy and efficacy of controls related to warehousing provided in connection with product sales.

◦Initiated an evaluation of the adequacy and efficacy of controls and processes for customer refusal of delivery or indication of intent to return an order, including timely notification to designated accounting personnel.

◦We have enhanced our quarterly contract review process by implementing a quarterly certification program to ensure timely communication of modification of transaction terms by sales and operations personnel to identify inconsistencies between the contract and transaction documents and non-standard transaction terms.

◦We implemented participation in revenue recognition training programs by Company personnel.

•Information Produced by the Entity

◦Completed a review of controls over reports as part of the Company’s Q1 2023 implementation of Oracle Cloud.

◦Initiated a plan to enhance documentation retention policies around report parameters

◦Initiated a review of all reports used in controls in order to fully identify the control owners and provide training on appropriate control performance and documentation.

•Income Tax Controls

◦Initiated our review of remedial actions to be taken to address the lack of sufficient and accurate support used in the preparation of the tax provision.

◦Initiated our review of remedial actions to be taken to address the lack of timeliness in the performance of existing controls over the preparation of the tax provision.

The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Additional remediation measures may be required, which may require additional implementation time. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts in connection with our evaluations of internal control over financial reporting.

We can give no assurance that the measures we take will remediate the material weaknesses that we identified or that any additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these and other processes, procedures and controls and will make any further changes management determines appropriate.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Divestiture of Asia Region

Remediation action completed during the three months ending June 30, 2024, include (see above for description of the control area in remediation):

As disclosed in Form 8-K dated April 5, 2024, the Company has completed the divestiture of the Asia region business. As a result of the divestiture, aspects of the material weaknesses described above attributable to the Asia region business relating to the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2023, and the quarter ended March 31, 2024, no longer impacted the Company subsequent to April 6, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the remediation action described above, no other change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

Plume

On October 10, 2022, Plume Design, Inc. (“Plume”) filed suit against DZS in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, alleging that DZS breached a reseller contract with Plume and seeking $24.75 million in damages. The parties have completed briefing on dispositive motions, and we expect trial to be set in the first half of 2025. DZS intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Class Action

In June and August of 2023, DZS shareholders filed three putative securities class actions related to DZS’s June 1, 2023 Form 8-K announcing the Company’s intention to restate its financial statements for the first quarter of 2023.  Each suit was filed in the Eastern District of Texas.  All three cases allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act against DZS, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The cases are: (1) Shim v. DZS et al., filed June 14, 2023; (2) Link v. DZS et al., filed June 27, 2023; and (3) Cody v. DZS et al., filed August 9, 2023.

Three potential lead plaintiffs filed applications for appointment on August 14, 2023. On September 12, 2023, the cases were consolidated under the lead case Shim v. DZS et al. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages, interest, fees, costs and interest. As of July 31, 2024, the court has not yet ruled on the appointment of a lead plaintiff and the Defendants have not yet responded to any complaint. DZS intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits.

In light of the events giving rise to the restatement, DZS began cooperating, and intends to continue to cooperate, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which has informed DZS that it is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws related to DZS.

On June 3, 2024, counsel for a shareholder of the Company sent the Company a demand for certain books and records related to events related to the Company’s June 1, 2023 Form 8-K. The demand was made pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. While the Company does not concede the demand is proper, it has produced certain records to the shareholder.

In addition to the matters discussed above and the Notice discussed in Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, from time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company records an accrual for legal contingencies that it has determined to be probable to the extent that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations and cash flows of the reporting period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A list of factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results is described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Description of Business

DZS Inc. (referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as “DZS” or the “Company”) is a global provider of access and optical networking infrastructure and artificial intelligence ("AI") driven cloud software solutions that enable the emerging hyper-connected, hyper-broadband world and broadband experiences. The Company provides a wide array of reliable, cost-effective networking technologies and cloud software to a diverse customer base.

DZS was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in June 1999. The Company is headquartered in Plano, Texas with contract manufacturers located in the U.S., China, India, and Korea. The Company maintains offices to provide sales and customer support at global locations.

On April 5, 2024, the Company completed a divestiture of certain subsidiaries in Asia (the "Asia Sale"). The divestiture allows DZS to focus on the Americas, Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), and Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) regions that are strategically aligned with the technology and acquisition investments made over the past several years.

(b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2024. For a complete description of what the Company believes to be the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Operating results of subsidiaries divested in conjunction with the Asia Sale were classified as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the current year or any other period.

(c) Risks and Uncertainties

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

We continue to be exposed to macroeconomic pressures in the post-COVID-19 environment, including concerns about energy costs, geopolitical issues, inflation, the availability and cost of credit, business and consumer confidence, and unemployment. We have seen improvement in our supply chain in 2024 as supply chain pricing, freight and logistics costs, product and component availability, and extended lead-times which were a challenge in prior years begin to alleviate. We expect elevated costs for components and expedite fees to further improve throughout 2024.

(d) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

(e) Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents revenues by product technology (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Access Networking Infrastructure	$	23,612	$	20,951	$	43,844	$	55,956
Cloud Software & Services	7,454		9,672		14,889		19,034
Total	$	31,066	$	30,623	$	58,733	$	74,990

The following table present revenues by geographical concentration (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Americas	$	11,452	$	15,100	$	27,409	$	40,066
Europe, Middle East, Africa	16,324		14,907		27,147		32,961
Asia, Australia, New Zealand	3,290		616		4,177		1,963
Total	$	31,066	$	30,623	$	58,733	$	74,990

(f) Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, and contract assets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of financial deposits and money market accounts principally held by various domestic and international financial institutions with high credit standing. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured limits.

The Company’s customers include competitive and incumbent local exchange carriers, competitive access providers, internet service providers, wireless carriers and resellers serving these markets. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for credit losses based on the expected collectability of accounts receivable using historical loss rates adjusted for customer-specific factors and current economic conditions. The Company determines historical loss rates on a rational and systematic basis. The Company performs periodic assessments of its customers’ liquidity and financial condition by analyzing information obtained from credit rating agencies, financial statement review and historical and current collection trends.

Activity under the Company’s allowance for expected credit losses consists of the following (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	4,282	$	2,971
Charged to expense, net of recoveries	(333)		530
Foreign currency exchange impact	(12)		17
Balance at end of period	$	3,937	$	3,518

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 11% of net revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, no customers accounted for more than 10% of net revenue. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenue.

As of June 30, 2024, one customer represented 15% of net accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023, one customer represented 10% of net accounts receivable.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net accounts receivables from customers in countries other than the United States represented 77% and 74%, respectively.

(g) Business Combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires the identification of the acquirer, the determination of the acquisition date and the allocation of the purchase price paid by the acquirer to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their expected useful lives. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date .

(h) Restructuring and Other Charges

From time to time, the Company takes actions to align its workforce, facilities and operating costs with perceived market opportunities, business strategies and changes in market and business conditions. The Company recognizes a liability for the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for one-time employee termination benefits, which are measured at the communication date and recognized ratably over the required service period, if any.

(i) Warrants

The Company accounts for warrant instruments as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. Upon issuance, warrants are initially measured at fair value.

(j) Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups and related liabilities as held-for-sale when management having the appropriate authority, generally the Company's Board of Directors ("the Board") or certain Executive Officers, commits to a plan of sale, the disposal group is ready for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. Once classified as held-for-sale, disposal groups are valued at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of disposal.

The Company accounts for discontinued operations when there is a disposal of a component group or a group of components that represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company aggregates the results of operations for discontinued operations into a single line item in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented.

Unless specifically noted otherwise, footnote disclosures reflect the results of continuing operations only. The results of discontinued operations are presented in Note 2 Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

(k) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which aims to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU address the investor requests for more transparency of income tax information and apply to all entities that are subject to income taxes. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the changes required by the new standard on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC issued Release Nos. 33-11275; 34-99678 "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors", which require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The compliance date for this release was scheduled to be fiscal year 2027 for smaller reporting companies. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of this new rule pending judicial review. The Company is currently analyzing the impact that the new climate-related rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company made a strategic decision to divest certain entities in Asia with the intention, among other things, to focus its market strategy, technology and innovation on the Americas, EMEA and ANZ regions. On January 5, 2024, the Company and DZS California Inc. (“DZS California”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with DASAN Networks, Inc. (“DNI”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, DZS California sold to DNI all of the equity interests in DASAN Network Solutions, Inc., a Korean company (“DNS Korea”), D-Mobile Limited, a Taiwan company, DZS Vietnam Company Limited, a Vietnamese company, Dasan India Private Limited, an Indian company, and DZS Japan, Inc., a Japanese company (the “Asia Sale”). The purchase price for the divestiture consisted of $3.8 million cash, net of certain adjustments, and the elimination of approximately $34.3 million in debt and interest owed to DNI as of the transaction date. DNI also assumed all DNS Korea's debt obligations to foreign banks outstanding as of the transaction date. The Asia Sale closed on April 5, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, DNI owns approximately 24.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.

The disposition of the operations represented a major strategic shift in the business and met the criteria of discontinued operations. The Company has classified the assets and liabilities of the Asia business as held for sale as of December 31, 2023.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax and the loss on the sale of discontinued operations, net of tax, of the Asia business, which is presented in total in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

NetComm Acquisition

On June 1, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding equity of NetComm Wireless Pty Ltd and its subsidiary (collectively “NetComm”) from Casa Communications Holdings Pty Ltd (“Casa Communications”) for a combination of cash and contingent consideration (the "NetComm Acquisition"). NetComm is a leading broadband networking innovator in the 5G fixed wireless, home broadband, fiber-extension and IoT technology domains. NetComm serves communications service providers and enterprise customers in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand and is headquartered in Sydney, Australia. The primary driver for the acquisition was to expand its product portfolio and accelerate growth opportunities in foreign markets.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement with Casa Communications, all rights, titles, and interests in the shares of NetComm were acquired for approximately $8.1 million in cash in addition to contingent consideration, determined based on the revenues from existing, agreed-upon customers during the year ended December 31, 2024. The contingent consideration in this arrangement includes future cash payments of varying amounts based on the 2024 revenue thresholds achieved, starting at $75 million, with a maximum payout of $3.0 million. This contingent consideration was determined to be liability-classified, as it is settled solely in cash, and the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the Closing Date, approximately $0.1 million, was determined using the income approach, specifically a Monte-Carlo simulation, a Level 3 fair value approach due to the lack of relevant market activity and significant management judgment, which used the following significant assumptions: projected financial information, volatility (30.0%), discount rate (12.1%), risk-free rate (5.4%), and cost of debt (13.5%). The Company will be required to remeasure this liability to fair value quarterly with any changes in the fair value recorded in income until the final payment is made.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the Company identified as the acquirer. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price has been assigned to the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred acquisition-related costs of $0.6 million, which were expensed in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, the purchase price allocation for the acquisition is provisional, pending the completion of management’s review of the valuation of the acquired intangible assets, determination of the associated income tax impacts, and determination of the final bargain purchase gain.

The table below sets forth the consideration paid, the provisional fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the estimated bargain purchase gain for the acquisition (in thousands):

Consideration Paid
Cash	$	8,146
Contingent consideration	81
Total Consideration	$	8,227
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents	$	820
Accounts receivable	2,499
Inventories	47,109
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	463
Property, plant and equipment, net	726
Intangible assets:
Trade name	480

Right-of-use assets from operating leases	961
Total assets	$	16,254
Accrued liabilities	2,190
Due to seller	3,319
Deferred revenue	26
Lease liability	952
Other non-current liabilities	1,540
Total liabilities	$	8,027
Total net assets	$	8,227

The fair value of certain working capital items, including accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the other non-current liability approximates their respective carrying values at the date of the acquisition. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement with Casa Communications, certain working capital items remain with Casa Communications, and any amounts collected or paid as a result of these items are to be remitted or collected from Casa Communications in the post-combination period. As a result, a due to seller has been recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 6, 2024 with the net expected amount to be repaid to Casa Communications as a result of this arrangement.

The Company has adopted ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which created an exception to the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations, for the Company’s contract assets and liabilities, including deferred revenue, resulting in the carryover of the historical amounts determined in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than fair value.

The fair value of the fixed assets was determined to be commensurate with their carrying value. The fair value of the trade name, developed technology, and in-process research and development ("IPR&D") was determined using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method, which includes the following Level 3 assumptions: percent of revenue attributable to the asset, royalty rate (ranging from 0.5% to 3.0%), income tax rate (30%), and discount rate (ranging from 17.1% to 18.1%). The acquired trade name will be amortized over a two-year period. The acquired developed technology and IPR&D will be amortized over periods ranging from one to three years and five to seven years, respectively.

The fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings approach, which includes the following Level 3 assumptions: revenue attribution, margin rates (ranging between 5% to 7%), contributory asset charges (2.9%), income tax rates (30%), and discount rates (18.1%). The acquired customer relationships will be amortized over a two-year period.

At acquisition, the Company recognized a provisional bargain purchase gain of approximately $41.5 million, which was separately recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. The bargain purchase gain represents the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition exceeds the fair value of the purchase consideration. The Company determined the bargain purchase gain is appropriate as the sellers were in financial distress and the NetComm business was acquired out of bankruptcy.

Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information

Included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the quarter-ended June 30, 2024 are revenue and net income of NetComm of $4.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from June 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024. The following table presents certain provisional unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as if the NetComm acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024, including recognition of the estimated bargain purchase gain of $41.5 million. Additional adjustments include the amortization of certain estimated fair value adjustments related to intangible assets acquired.

The Company expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies resulting from the acquisition that are not reflected in the pro forma amounts. The provisional pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the historical results of operations had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024 nor is it indicative of the results of operations in future periods.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1    Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2    Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3    Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

The carrying values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The Company classifies its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash within Level 1 and other short-term assets and liabilities within Level 2. The carrying value of the Company's debt approximates its fair values based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of similar terms and maturities. The Company classifies its debt within Level 2.

The Company classifies its contingent liability from Optelian acquisition within Level 3 as it includes inputs not observable in the market. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent consideration as the present value of the expected contingent payments, determined using the revenue forecast for certain Optelian products through the end of 2023. The fair value of contingent liability is generally sensitive to changes in the revenue forecast during the payout period. The change in the respective fair value is included in selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s Level 3 contingent liability (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	306	$	1,156
Initial fair value of contingent liability	81		—
Cash payments	—		(347)
Net change in fair value	33		(214)
Balance at end of period	$	420	$	595

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with the NetComm acquisition at their acquisition date fair value, which was determined using primarily level three inputs, defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. See Note 3 Business Combinations for further information about significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement.

Warranties

The Company accrues warranty costs based on historical trends for the expected material and labor costs to provide warranty services. The Company's standard warranty period is one year from the date of shipment with the ability for customers to purchase an extended warranty of up to five years from the date of shipment. The following table summarizes the activity related to the product warranty liability:

Contract Balances

The Company records contract assets when it has a right to consideration and records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to consideration. Contract liabilities consist of cash payments received (or unconditional rights to receive cash) in advance of fulfilling performance obligations. The majority of the Company's performance obligations in its contracts with customers relate to contracts with duration of less than one year.

The opening and closing balances of current and long-term contract assets and contract liabilities related to contracts with customers are as follows:

	Contract assets		Contract liabilities
December 31, 2023	$	825	$	17,779
June 30, 2024	$	786	$	15,921

The decrease in contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to the revenue recognition criteria being met for previously deferred revenue, partially offset by invoiced amounts that did not yet meet the revenue recognition criteria. The amount of revenue recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the prior period contract liability balance was $9.1 million and $12.0 million, respectively. This revenue consists of services provided to customers who had been invoiced prior to the current period. We expect to recognize approximately 85% of outstanding contract liabilities as revenue over the next 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

The balance of contract cost deferred as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $0.2 million in amortization related to contract cost deferred as of December 31, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.4 million in amortization related to contract cost deferred as of December 31, 2022.

EdgeCo Term Loans

On December 29, 2023, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “EdgeCo Loan Agreement”) with EdgeCo, LLC (“EdgeCo”), as lender. Pursuant to the EdgeCo Loan Agreement, the Company received a three-year term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $15.0 million. The principal amount of the loan is payable on December 29, 2026 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 13.0% per annum; provided, however, that in connection with the EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement, the maturity date of the EdgeCo Loan Agreement was extended to May 31, 2027.

The EdgeCo Loan Agreement contains various covenants that limit the ability of the Company (and in certain cases, certain of its subsidiaries) to, among other things, enter into any merger or consolidation, incur indebtedness, incur liens, make dividends or stock repurchases, and acquire any businesses (other than a similar business to that of the Company).

The EdgeCo Loan Agreement contains events of default that are customary for loans of this type. If an event of default occurs under the Loan Agreement, EdgeCo will be entitled to accelerate and call the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest and to take various actions against the collateral, including by exercising its right to acquire or sell the collateral to satisfy any obligations under the outstanding indebtedness.

The EdgeCo Loan Agreement also (i) includes preemptive rights that allow EdgeCo to exercise a right of first refusal in the event the Company decides to seek additional debt financing of up to $15.0 million for additional operating capital or to offer for sale additional unregistered shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, before December 31, 2026 and (ii) in connection with the Warrant Agreement (as defined below), provides EdgeCo with the right to designate a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, in each case subject to certain limitations and exceptions. In particular, EdgeCo’s designation right will terminate upon (x) the payment in full of the loan obligations and (y) its ownership of the Company’s Common Stock being less than 4.9% of the total outstanding Common Stock.

In connection with the EdgeCo Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into (i) a Warrant Agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2023, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that issued a warrant to EdgeCo to subscribe for 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.84 per share, which represents the closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Warrant Agreement, and (ii) a Registration Rights Agreement (the “EdgeCo Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2023, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that provides EdgeCo customary demand and piggyback registration rights for the 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrant, in the event the warrant is exercised. The warrant was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and was issued pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration thereunder provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The $7.2 million value of the warrant was recognized in stockholders’ equity, as the warrant satisfied all criteria for equity classification under ASC 815. The warrant is not remeasured each reporting period. The amount allocated to the warrant was accounted for as a debt discount and recorded as a reduction of debt obligation.

On May 31, 2024, the Company, as borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement”) with EdgeCo, LLC, as lender. Pursuant to the EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement, the Company received a three-year term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $15.0 million. The principal amount of the Loan is payable on May 31, 2027 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 13.0% per annum.

The EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement contains various covenants that limit the ability of the Company (and in certain cases, certain of its subsidiaries) to, among other things, enter into any merger or consolidation, incur indebtedness, incur liens, make dividends or stock repurchases, and acquire any businesses (other than a similar business to that of the Company).

The EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement contains events of default that are customary for loans of this type. If an event of default occurs under the Loan Agreement, EdgeCo will be entitled to accelerate and call the unpaid principal balance of the Loan and all accrued interest and to take various actions against the collateral, including by exercising its right to acquire or sell the collateral to satisfy any obligations under the outstanding indebtedness.

The EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement also includes preemptive rights that allow EdgeCo to exercise a right of first refusal in the event the Company decides to seek additional debt financing of up to $15.0 million for additional operating capital or to offer for sale additional unregistered shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), before December 31, 2028.

In connection with the EdgeCo Second Loan Agreement, the Company also entered into (i) a Warrant Agreement (the “Second Warrant Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2024, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that issued a warrant to EdgeCo to subscribe for 6,100,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.9095 per share, which represents 85% of the closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ on April 18, 2024, and (ii) an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “EdgeCo A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of May 31, 2024, by and between the Company and EdgeCo that provides EdgeCo customary demand and piggyback registration rights for, in the aggregate, the 12,200,000 shares of Common Stock underlying that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2023, by and between the Company and EdgeCo, and the Warrant Agreement, in the event the warrants are exercised. The warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were issued pursuant to the private placement exemption from registration thereunder provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The $6.6 million value of the warrant was recognized in stockholders’ equity, as the warrant satisfied all criteria for equity classification under ASC 815. The warrant is not remeasured each reporting period. The amount allocated to the warrant was accounted for as a debt discount and recorded as a reduction of debt obligation.

As of June 30, 2024 , the Company's debt obligation under the EdgeCo Loan Agreements was $15.7 million net of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance cost of $13.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's debt obligation under the EdgeCo Loan Agreement was $7.3 million net of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance cost of $7.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common stock equivalents are excluded if their effect is antidilutive. Potential common stock equivalents are composed of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the vesting of restricted stock units. In periods when a net loss is reported, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation because they would have an anti-dilutive effect, meaning the loss per share would be reduced. Therefore, in periods when a loss is reported, basic and dilutive loss per share are the same.

The following table is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator in the basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share calculation (in thousands, except per share data) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

Plume

On October 10, 2022, Plume Design, Inc. (“Plume”) filed suit against DZS in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, alleging that DZS breached a reseller contract with Plume and seeking $24.75 million in damages. The parties have completed briefing on dispositive motions, and we expect trial to be set in the first half of 2025. DZS intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Class Action

In June and August of 2023, DZS shareholders filed three putative securities class actions related to DZS’s June 1, 2023 Form 8-K announcing the Company’s intention to restate its financial statements for the first quarter of 2023.  Each suit was filed in the Eastern District of Texas.  All three cases allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act against DZS, its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The cases are: (1) Shim v. DZS et al., filed June 14, 2023; (2) Link v. DZS et al., filed June 27, 2023; and (3) Cody v. DZS et al., filed August 9, 2023.

Three potential lead plaintiffs filed applications for appointment on August 14, 2023. On September 12, 2023, the cases were consolidated under the lead case Shim v. DZS et al. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages, interest, fees, costs and interest. As of July 31, 2024, the court has not yet ruled on the appointment of a lead plaintiff and the Defendants have not yet responded to any complaint. DZS intends to vigorously defend these lawsuits.

In light of the events giving rise to the restatement, DZS began cooperating, and intends to continue to cooperate, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which has informed DZS that it is investigating potential violations of the federal securities laws related to DZS.

On June 3, 2024, counsel for a shareholder of the Company sent the Company a demand for certain books and records related to events related to the Company’s June 1, 2023 Form 8-K. The demand was made pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. While the Company does not concede the demand is proper, it has produced certain records to the shareholder.

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company records an accrual for legal contingencies that it has determined to be probable to the extent that the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations and cash flows of the reporting period in which the ruling occurs, or future periods.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 13, 2024. For a complete description of what the Company believes to be the critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Operating results of subsidiaries divested in conjunction with the Asia Sale were classified as discontinued operations in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the current interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the current year or any other period.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

We continue to be exposed to macroeconomic pressures in the post-COVID-19 environment, including concerns about energy costs, geopolitical issues, inflation, the availability and cost of credit, business and consumer confidence, and unemployment. We have seen improvement in our supply chain in 2024 as supply chain pricing, freight and logistics costs, product and component availability, and extended lead-times which were a challenge in prior years begin to alleviate. We expect elevated costs for components and expedite fees to further improve throughout 2024.

Use of Estimates

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Concentration of Risk

Concentration of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable, and contract assets. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash consist of financial deposits and money market accounts principally held by various domestic and international financial institutions with high credit standing. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured limits.

The Company’s customers include competitive and incumbent local exchange carriers, competitive access providers, internet service providers, wireless carriers and resellers serving these markets. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Allowances are maintained for credit losses based on the expected collectability of accounts receivable using historical loss rates adjusted for customer-specific factors and current economic conditions. The Company determines historical loss rates on a rational and systematic basis. The Company performs periodic assessments of its customers’ liquidity and financial condition by analyzing information obtained from credit rating agencies, financial statement review and historical and current collection trends.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires the identification of the acquirer, the determination of the acquisition date and the allocation of the purchase price paid by the acquirer to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their expected useful lives. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date .

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring and Other Charges

From time to time, the Company takes actions to align its workforce, facilities and operating costs with perceived market opportunities, business strategies and changes in market and business conditions. The Company recognizes a liability for the cost associated with an exit or disposal activity in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for one-time employee termination benefits, which are measured at the communication date and recognized ratably over the required service period, if any.

Warrants

WarrantsThe Company accounts for warrant instruments as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own stock and whether the holders of the warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. Upon issuance, warrants are initially measured at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which aims to address requests for improved income tax disclosures from investors that use the financial statements to make capital allocation decisions. The amendments in this ASU address the investor requests for more transparency of income tax information and apply to all entities that are subject to income taxes. The ASU is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024, but early adoption is permitted. This ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the changes required by the new standard on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC issued Release Nos. 33-11275; 34-99678 "The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors", which require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The compliance date for this release was scheduled to be fiscal year 2027 for smaller reporting companies. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of this new rule pending judicial review. The Company is currently analyzing the impact that the new climate-related rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

The Company classifies long-lived assets or disposal groups and related liabilities as held-for-sale when management having the appropriate authority, generally the Company's Board of Directors ("the Board") or certain Executive Officers, commits to a plan of sale, the disposal group is ready for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated and the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. Once classified as held-for-sale, disposal groups are valued at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs. Depreciation on these properties is discontinued at the time they are classified as held for sale, but operating revenues, operating expenses and interest expense continue to be recognized until the date of disposal.

The Company accounts for discontinued operations when there is a disposal of a component group or a group of components that represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The Company aggregates the results of operations for discontinued operations into a single line item in the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for all periods presented.
