Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation We prepare our unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arlo and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Fiscal Periods	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	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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of these 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 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 nine months ended October 1, 2023 and are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any future period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted There were no accounting pronouncements adopted during the nine months ended October 1, 2023. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective We have considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective, and do not expect any to have a material effect on our financial statements and related disclosures.
Fair Value Measurements	Our investments in cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.
