Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Arlo Technologies, Inc. (“Arlo”) combines an intelligent cloud infrastructure and mobile app with a variety of smart connected devices that transform the way people experience the connected lifestyle. Our deep expertise in product design, wireless connectivity, cloud infrastructure and cutting-edge AI capabilities focuses on delivering a seamless, smart home experience for Arlo users that is easy to setup and interact with every day. Our cloud-based platform provides users with visibility, insight and a powerful means to help protect and connect in real-time with the people and things that matter most, from any location with a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection. We conduct business across three geographic regions—(i) the Americas; (ii) Europe, Middle-East and Africa (“EMEA”); and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”)—and primarily generate revenue by selling devices through retail channels, wholesale distribution, wireless carrier channels, security solution providers, and Arlo’s direct to consumer store and paid subscription services. Our corporate headquarters is located in Carlsbad, California with other satellite offices across North America and various other global locations. Basis of Presentation We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arlo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Fiscal periods Our fiscal year begins on January 1 of the year stated and ends on December 31 of the same year. We report the results on a fiscal quarter basis rather than on a calendar quarter basis. Under the fiscal quarter basis, each of the first three fiscal quarters ends on the Sunday closest to the calendar quarter end, with the fourth quarter ending on December 31. Reclassification Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. Use of estimates The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.
