Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
The Company and Basis of Presentation	The Company and Basis of Presentation The Company Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) designs, manufactures, and sells a range of wireless networking solutions and services to mobile and fixed telephone service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies, and broadcast system operators across the globe. Due to the volume of our international sales, especially in developing countries, we may be susceptible to a number of political, economic, and geographic risks that could harm our business as outlined in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2019. Our products include broadband wireless access base stations and customer premises equipment for fixed and mobile, point-to-point digital microwave radio systems for access, backhaul, trunking, license-exempt applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information, and we have made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the three and nine months ended April 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. We operate on a 52-week or 53-week year ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The nine months ended April 3, 2020 consisted of 40 weeks while the nine months ended 2019 included 39 weeks. The three months ended April 3, 2020 and March 29, 2019 consisted of 14 weeks and 13 weeks, respectively. Fiscal year 2020 will be comprised of 53 weeks and will end on July 3, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist us in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, lease liabilities, restructuring obligations, product warranty obligations, share-based awards, contingencies, recoverability of long-lived assets and useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended April 3, 2020, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2019, with the exception of our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02) (“ASC 842”). See Note 4, “Leases” to the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the impact of the adoption of this standard on our policies for leases. Accounting Standards Adopted In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 842, which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet (with the exception of short-term leases). For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or financing in the income statement. We adopted ASC 842, effective June 29, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of our accumulated deficit. Prior-period financial statements were not retrospectively restated. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carryforward our historical lease classification, assessment of whether a contract was or contains a lease, and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to June 28, 2019. We also elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. We elected not to apply the hindsight practical expedient when determining lease term and assessing impairment of ROU assets. See Note 4, “Leases” to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvement to Nonemployees Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2018-07), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this update during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adoption had no material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This guidance provides optional guidance related to reference rate reform, which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and was effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplifies areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws and rate changes. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2019-12 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. We are evaluating the potential impact adopting ASU 2018-15 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). The update eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted of the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify disclosure requirements. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Topic 326 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2024, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact adopting Topic 326 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information, and we have made estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, as discussed in greater detail below. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the three and nine months ended April 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2019.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

We operate on a 52-week or 53-week year ending on the Friday closest to June 30. The nine months ended April 3, 2020 consisted of 40 weeks while the nine months ended 2019 included 39 weeks. The three months ended April 3, 2020 and March 29, 2019 consisted of 14 weeks and 13 weeks, respectively. Fiscal year 2020 will be comprised of 53 weeks and will end on July 3, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist us in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, lease liabilities, restructuring obligations, product warranty obligations, share-based awards, contingencies, recoverability of long-lived assets and useful lives of property, plant and equipment. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as of and for the nine months ended April 3, 2020, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2019, with the exception of our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02) (“ASC 842”). See Note 4, “Leases” to the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the impact of the adoption of this standard on our policies for leases.

Accounting Standards Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 842, which amends the existing accounting standards for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet (with the exception of short-term leases). For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or financing in the income statement. We adopted ASC 842, effective June 29, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method with the cumulative effect recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of our accumulated deficit. Prior-period financial statements were not retrospectively restated. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carryforward our historical lease classification, assessment of whether a contract was or contains a lease, and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to June 28, 2019. We also elected not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. We elected not to apply the hindsight practical expedient when determining lease term and assessing impairment of ROU assets. See Note 4, “Leases” to the Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvement to Nonemployees Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2018-07), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this update during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adoption had no material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This guidance provides optional guidance related to reference rate reform, which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is applicable for our borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and was effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplifies areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws and rate changes. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2022. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2019-12 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2021, with early adoption permitted. The standard can be adopted either using the prospective or retrospective transition approach. We are evaluating the potential impact adopting ASU 2018-15 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). The update eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and early adoption is permitted of the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify disclosure requirements. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Topic 326 will be effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal 2024, and earlier adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact adopting Topic 326 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
