FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(in thousands, except share and per share data, or as otherwise noted)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement and imaging solutions. This technology permits high-precision 3D measurement, imaging and comparison of parts and complex structures within production and quality assurance processes. Our devices are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, as well as for investigation and reconstruction of accident sites or crime scenes. We sell the majority of our products through a direct sales force across a broad number of customers in a range of manufacturing, industrial, architecture, surveying, building information modeling, construction, public safety forensics, cultural heritage, dental, and other applications. Our FaroArm^®, FARO ScanArm^®, FARO Laser Tracker^TM, FARO Laser Projector, and their companion CAM2^®, BuildIT, and BuildIT Projector software solutions, provide for Computer-Aided Design (“CAD”) based inspection, factory-level statistical process control, high-density surveying and laser-guided assembly and production. Together, these products integrate the measurement, quality inspection, and reverse engineering functions with CAD and 3D software to improve productivity, enhance product quality, and decrease rework and scrap in the manufacturing process, mainly supporting applications in our 3D Manufacturing vertical. Our FARO Focus, FARO ScanPlan and FARO Scanner Freestyle^3D X laser scanners, and their companion FARO SCENE, BuildIT, FARO As-Built^TM, and FARO Zone public safety forensics software offerings, are utilized for a wide variety of 3D modeling, documentation and high-density surveying applications in our Construction Building Information Modeling (“Construction BIM”) and Public Safety Forensics verticals. Our FARO ScanArm^®, FARO Scanner Freestyle^3D X laser scanners and their companion SCENE software, and other 3D-structured light scanning solutions specific to the dental industry also enable a fully digital workflow used to capture real world geometry for the purpose of empowering design, enabling innovation, and speeding up the design cycle, supporting our 3D Design vertical. Our line of galvanometer-based scan heads and laser scan controllers are used in a variety of laser applications and are integrated into larger components and systems, supporting our Photonics vertical.

We report our segment information in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“FASB ASC Topic 280”). We evaluate business performance based upon several metrics, using revenue growth and segment profit as the primary financial measures.

Since the end of the second quarter of 2018, the following changes were made to our verticals and reporting segments:

• In the third quarter of 2018, we merged the historical Factory Metrology and 3D Machine Vision verticals into one vertical named “3D Factory” for greater consistency with our realigned reporting segments.

• In the third quarter of 2018, we segregated the operations of our acquisitions of Laser Control Systems Limited (“Laser Control Systems”) and Lanmark Controls, Inc. (“Lanmark”), along with the operations resulting from our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Instrument Associates, LLC d/b/a Nutfield Technology, into a vertical that we named “Photonics.” The creation of this vertical enables us to better focus on our product range directed at laser steering. These operations were historically reported in the 3D Factory reporting segment in the first six months of 2018 and are now included in the Emerging Verticals (formerly known as “Other”) reporting segment.

• In the third quarter of 2018, we renamed our Product Design vertical “3D Design.”

• In the fourth quarter of 2018, we renamed our 3D Factory vertical and reporting segment “3D Manufacturing.”

There has been no change in our total consolidated financial condition or results of operations previously reported as a result of these changes in our verticals and reportable segments. The amounts related to our reporting segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the changes in our reporting segments. Each of our reporting segments continues to employ consistent accounting policies.

8

We now report our activities in the following three reportable segments:

• The 3D Manufacturing reporting segment contains solely our 3D Manufacturing vertical and provides both standardized and customized solutions for 3D measurement and inspection in an industrial or manufacturing environment. Applications include alignment, part inspection, dimensional analysis, first article inspection, incoming and in-process inspection, machine calibration, non-contact inspection, robot calibration, tool building and set-up, and assembly guidance.

• The Construction BIM reporting segment contains solely our Construction BIM vertical and provides solutions for as-built data capturing and 3D visualization in building information modeling applications, allowing our customers in the architecture, engineering and construction markets to quickly and accurately extract two-dimensional (“2D”) and 3D measurement points. Applications include as-built documentation, construction monitoring, surveying, asset and facility management, and heritage preservation.

• The Emerging Verticals reporting segment includes our 3D Design, Public Safety Forensics, and Photonics verticals. Our 3D Design vertical provides advanced 3D solutions to capture and edit 3D shapes of products, people and/or environments for design purposes in product development, computer graphics and dental and medical applications. Our Public Safety Forensics vertical provides solutions to public safety officials and professionals to capture environmental or situational scenes in 2D and 3D for crime, crash and fire scene investigations and environmental safety evaluations. Our Photonics vertical develops and markets galvanometer-based laser measurement products and solutions.

All operating segments that do not meet the criteria to be reportable segments are aggregated in the Emerging Verticals reporting segment and have been combined based on the aggregation criteria and quantitative thresholds in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 280. Our reporting segments have been determined in accordance with our internal management structure, which is based on operating activities. Each segment is responsible for its own product management, sales, strategy and profitability. See Note 15 – Segment Reporting for further information.

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net (loss) income.

NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any future period.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The accompanying December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited consolidated financial statements. As described in Note 1 – Description of Business, after the second quarter of 2018, we changed our reporting segment structure. Amounts related to our reporting segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the changes in our reporting segments.

NOTE 4 – IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, was issued by the FASB in July 2018 and allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment transition method of adoption. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective as of January 1, 2019 utilizing the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method of adoption, which resulted in the recognition on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 of $18.1 million of right-of-use assets for operating leases, $19.1 million of lease liability for operating leases, $0.9 million of property and equipment, net for finance leases and $0.9 million of lease liability for finance leases under which we function as a lessee. We elected certain practical expedients available under the transition provisions to (i) allow aggregation of non-lease components with the related lease components when evaluating accounting treatment, (ii) apply the modified retrospective adoption method, utilizing the simplified transition option, which allows us to continue to apply the legacy guidance in FASB ASC Topic 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption, and (iii) use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering our options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of our right-of-use assets. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 also required us to include any initial direct costs, which are incremental costs that would not have been incurred had the lease not been obtained, in the right-of-use assets. The recognition of these costs in connection with our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the current guidance, performance of Step 2 requires us to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by following procedures that would be required to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the new guidance, we will perform our goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it fails the qualitative assessment. As a result, all reporting units will be subject to the same impairment assessment. We will still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 becomes effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis. Disclosure of the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle is required upon transition. This disclosure is required in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when we initially adopt the amendments in this ASU. We plan to adopt this guidance for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13, and subsequent related amendments to ASU 2016-13, replace the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model that requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. We will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, but we do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

For revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software, we allocate the contract price to performance obligations based on our best estimate of the standalone selling price. We make this allocation estimate utilizing data from the sale of our applicable products and services to customers separately in similar circumstances, with the exception of software licenses. With respect to software licenses, we use the residual method for allocating the contract price to performance obligations. Revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software is generally recognized upon shipment from our facilities or when delivered to the customer location, as determined by the agreed upon shipping terms, at which time we are entitled to payment and title and control has passed to the customer. Software arrangements generally include short-term maintenance that is considered post-contract support (“PCS”), which is considered to be a separate performance obligation. We generally establish a standalone sales price for this PCS component based on our maintenance renewal rate. Maintenance renewals, when sold, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement.  Payments for products and services are collected within a short period of time following transfer of control or commencement of delivery of services, as applicable.

Further, customers frequently purchase extended warranties with the purchase of measurement equipment and related software. Warranties are considered a performance obligation when services are transferred to a customer over time, and, as such, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the warranty term. Extended warranty sales primarily include contract periods that extend between one month and three years.

We capitalize commission expenses related to deliverables transferred to a customer over time and amortize such costs ratably over the term of the contract. As of June 30, 2019, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $2.9 million. For classification purposes, $2.0 million and $0.9 million are comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2018, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $2.5 million. For classification purposes, $1.8 million and $0.7 million were comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018.

12

The unearned service revenue liabilities reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the contract liabilities to satisfy the remaining performance obligations for extended warranties and software maintenance. The current portion of unearned service revenues on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize to revenue within twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranty and software maintenance contract liabilities. The Unearned service revenues - less current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize to revenue extending beyond twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranty and software maintenance contract liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $8.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively, of service revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $7.2 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of service revenue that was deferred on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.

The nature of certain of our contracts gives rise to variable consideration, which may be constrained, primarily related to an allowance for sales returns and contracts with certain government customers. We are required to estimate the contract asset related to sales returns and record a corresponding adjustment to Cost of Sales. Our allowance for sales returns was approximately $0.1 million as of both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in Product Sales and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in Cost of Sales. We exclude from Sales any value-added sales and other taxes that we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities.

NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date. For awards with only a service condition, we expense stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award. For awards with both performance and service conditions, we expense the stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period taking into account the probability that we will satisfy the performance condition.

We have two compensation plans that provide for the granting of stock options and other share-based awards to key employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) provide for granting options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights to employees and non-employee directors. In May 2018, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2014 Plan, which increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 1,000,000 shares. A maximum of 2,974,543 shares are available for issuance under the 2014 Plan, as amended, plus the number of shares (not to exceed 891,960) that were underlying awards outstanding under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and the 2009 Plan as of May 29, 2014 that thereafter terminate or expire unexercised or are canceled, forfeited or lapse for any reason. No awards were outstanding under the 2004 Plan as of June 30, 2019, and no further grants will be made under the 2004 Plan or the 2009 Plan.

Upon election to the Board, each non-employee director receives an initial equity grant of shares of restricted common stock with a value equal to $100,000, calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the date of the non-employee director’s election to the Board. The initial restricted stock grant vests on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the non-employee director’s continued membership on the Board. Annually, the non-employee directors are granted restricted shares with a value equal to $100,000 on the first business day following the annual meeting of shareholders, calculated using the closing price of our common stock on that day. In addition, the independent Chairman of the Board is annually granted restricted shares with a value equal to $50,000, and the Lead Director, if one has been appointed, would be annually granted restricted shares with a value of $40,000, on the first business day following the annual meeting of shareholders, calculated using the closing price of our common stock on that day. The shares of restricted stock granted annually to our non-employee directors, our independent Chairman of the Board and, if applicable, our Lead Director vest on the day prior to the following year’s annual meeting date, subject to the non-employee director’s continued membership on the Board. We record compensation expense associated with our restricted stock grants on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Also, beginning in October 2018, our non-employee directors may elect to have their annual cash retainers and annual equity retainers paid in the form of deferred stock units pursuant to the 2014 Plan and the 2018 Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Each deferred stock unit represents the right to receive one share of our common stock upon the non-employee director’s separation of service from the Company. We record compensation expense associated with our deferred stock units over the period of service.

13

Annually, upon approval by our Compensation Committee, we grant stock-based awards, which historically have been in the form of stock options and/or restricted stock units, to certain employees. We also grant stock-based awards, which historically have been in the form of stock options and/or restricted stock units, to certain new employees throughout the year. The fair value of these stock-based awards is determined by using (a) the current market price of our common stock on the grant date in the case of restricted stock units without a market condition, (b) the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model in the case of performance-based restricted stock units with a market condition, or (c) the Black-Scholes option valuation model in the case of stock options.

Our annual grants in February 2019 and the stock-based awards granted to Michael D. Burger upon the commencement of his service as our President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2019 consisted of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units. Our annual grants in March 2018 consisted of time-based stock options and time-based restricted stock units. The number of stock options and/or restricted stock units granted was based on the employee’s individual objectives, performance against operational metrics assigned to the employee and overall contribution to the Company over the last year.

For the stock-based awards granted in February 2019 and June 2019, the time-based restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date. The performance-based restricted stock unit awards vest at the end of the three-year performance period if the applicable performance measure is achieved. The related stock-based compensation expense will be recognized over the requisite service period, taking into account the probability that we will satisfy the performance measure. The performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2019 will be earned and will vest based upon our total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR attained by companies within our defined benchmark group, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Due to the TSR presence in these performance-based restricted stock units, the fair value of these awards was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. We expense these market condition awards over the three-year vesting period regardless of the value the award recipients ultimately receive.

For 2018 grants, stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date and time-based restricted stock unit awards vest in full on the three-year anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of these stock-based awards is determined by using (a) the Black-Scholes option valuation model in the case of stock options or (b) the current market price of our common stock on the grant date in the case of restricted stock units.

The Black-Scholes option and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units that were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model was $66.16. No performance-based restricted stock units were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For performance-based restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model, we used the following assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019
Risk-free interest rate	1.8% - 2.48%
Expected dividend yield	—	%
Expected volatility	45.0	%
Weighted-average expected volatility	45.0	%

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the stock options that were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model was $23.43 per option. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019. For stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we used the following assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2018
Risk-free interest rate	2.65	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%
Expected term of option	4 years
Expected volatility	45.0	%
Weighted-average expected volatility	45.0	%

14

Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the expected lives of the options. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yields of U.S. zero coupon issues and U.S. Treasury issues, with a term approximating the expected life of the option being valued.

A summary of stock option activity and weighted-average exercise prices during the six months ended June 30, 2019 follows:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value as of June 30, 2019
Outstanding at January 1, 2019	792,943		$	47.59
Granted	—		—
Forfeited or expired	(69,670	)	54.47
Exercised	(21,118	)	34.76
Outstanding at June 30, 2019	702,155		$	47.54	4.0	$	6,116
Options exercisable at June 30, 2019	612,544		$	47.28	2.7	$	5,396

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $0.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $1.6 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $4.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity and weighted average grant-date fair values for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 1, 2019	311,000		$	42.66
Granted	240,539		48.97
Forfeited	(21,574	)	47.55
Vested	(108,413	)	36.47
Non-vested at June 30, 2019	421,552		$	47.60

We recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, and $5.3 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, there was $15.1 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

NOTE 7 – SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Short-term investments at June 30, 2019 were composed of U.S. Treasury Bills totaling $24.8 million, consisting of $8.9 million maturing on September 12, 2019 and $15.9 million maturing on December 12, 2019. The interest rates on the U.S. Treasury Bills held on June 30, 2019 that are maturing on September 12, 2019 and December 12, 2019 were 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively. Short-term investments at December 31, 2018 were composed of U.S. Treasury Bills totaling $24.8 million, consisting of $9.0 million, $10.9 million, and $4.9 million that matured on March 14, 2019, June 6, 2019, and June 20, 2019, respectively. The interest rates on the U.S. Treasury Bills held on December 31, 2018 that matured on March 14, 2019, June 6, 2019, and June 20, 2019 were 2.2%, 2.4%, and 2.3%, respectively. The investments are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. We do not intend to sell these investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before we recover their amortized cost bases.

15

NOTE 8 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consist of the following:

	As of June 30, 2019			As of December 31, 2018
Accounts receivable	$	76,162		$	90,675
Allowance for doubtful accounts	(1,732		)	(1,748		)
Total	$	74,430		$	88,927

NOTE 9 – INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over its remaining life, typically three years.

Inventories consist of the following: 

	As of June 30, 2019		As of December 31, 2018
Raw materials	$	37,809	$	39,859
Finished goods	34,161		25,585
Inventories, net	$	71,970	$	65,444
Service and sales demonstration inventory, net	$	39,416	$	39,563

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net income and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Our potential common stock consists of employee stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. Our potential common stock is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when adding such potential common stock would not be anti-dilutive. Performance-based awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (and any applicable market condition) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. When we report a net loss for the period presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes our potential common stock, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were approximately 702,202 shares issuable upon the exercise of options and the contingent vesting of performance-based restricted stock units that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there were approximately 565,398 shares issuable upon the exercise of options that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive.

16

A reconciliation of the number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is presented below:

	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2019				June 30, 2018
	Shares	Per-Share Amount			Shares	Per-Share Amount

Diluted (loss) earnings per share	17,323,479	$	(0.36	)	17,210,054	$	0.10

NOTE 11 – ACCRUED LIABILITIES

Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

	As of June 30, 2019		As of December 31, 2018
Accrued compensation and benefits	$	15,094	$	17,745
Accrued warranties	2,444		2,571

Provision for warranty expense	1,855			1,980
Fulfillment of warranty obligations	(1,982		)	(2,046		)
Balance, end of period	$	2,444		$	2,562

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, compared with income tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (6.1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 19.9% in the prior year period. Our effective tax rate was (4.0%) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 20.5% in the prior year period. The change in our income tax (benefit) expense was primarily due to a pretax loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to pretax income in the same periods of 2018, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in our reserve for uncertain tax positions recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to a change in our judgment on the recognition of a tax position during the quarter.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pretax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pretax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations:

	As of June 30, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (1)	$	—	$	—	$	4,879
Total	$	—	$	—	$	4,879
	As of December 31, 2018
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (1)	$	—	$	—	$	5,531
Total	$	—	$	—	$	5,531

(1) Contingent consideration liability represents arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies we acquired based on the former owners attaining future product release milestones. We use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. These probability weightings are developed internally and assessed on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2019, $2.8 million of these arrangements are reported in Accrued liabilities and $2.1 million are reported in Other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018, $3.4 million of these arrangements were reported in Accrued liabilities and $2.1 million were reported in Other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining undiscounted maximum payment under these arrangements was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2019. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was primarily related to our payment of $0.3 million as part of these arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as well as changes in our estimates regarding the probability that the former owners will attain certain product release milestones.

NOTE 14 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that has one of three characteristics: (1) it is controlled by someone other than its shareowners or partners, (2) its shareowners or partners are not economically exposed to the entity’s earnings (for example, they are protected against losses), or (3) it lacks sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.

On April 27, 2018, we invested $1.8 million in present4D GmbH (“present4D”), a software solutions provider for professional virtual reality presentations and training environments, in the form of an equity capital contribution. This initial contribution represented a minority investment in present4D. This investment’s business purpose is to coordinate the design and development of modules supporting compatibility with virtual reality for our existing software offerings.

As of our April 27, 2018 investment date, present4D was thinly capitalized and lacked sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and is classified as a VIE. We do not have power over decisions that significantly affect present4D’s economic performance and do not represent its primary beneficiary. After April 27, 2020, present4D may request additional equity financing up to $1.8 million from us in exchange for additional share capital, which additional equity financing would be at our discretion. We have not provided support to present4D during 2018 or the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 outside of our initial investment of $1.8 million. However, we may provide future support in the form of loans or other credit extended to present4D or additional share capital purchases. Our 16.5% portion of present4D’s net loss for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 was less than $0.1 million. Present4D is currently accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Our equity in the net loss from this equity-method investment is recorded as loss with a corresponding decrease in the investment.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we determined it is more likely than not that we will not recover our cost basis in present4D and recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million, which is included in Other expense, net. Our investment in this unconsolidated VIE at June 30, 2019 was $0.2 million and at December 31, 2018 was $1.7 million and is included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

NOTE 15 – SEGMENT REPORTING

We have three reportable segments: 3D Manufacturing, Construction BIM, and Emerging Verticals. These segments are based upon the vertical markets that we currently serve. Business activities that do not meet the criteria to be reportable segments are aggregated in the Emerging Verticals segment.

We develop, manufacture, market, support and sell CAD-based quality assurance products integrated with CAD-based inspection and statistical process control software and 3D documentation systems in each of these reportable segments. These activities represent more than 99% of consolidated sales.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based upon profitable growth. We use segment profit to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Segment profit is calculated as gross profit, net of selling and marketing expenses, for the reporting segment. Our definition of segment profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Our segment structure presented below represents a change from the prior year as further described in Note 1 – Description of Business. The amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated to reflect the change in our reporting segments. Each of our reporting segments continues to employ consistent accounting policies.

The following tables present information about our reportable segments, including a reconciliation of segment profit to income from operations included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments — We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $49.1 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months.

Legal Proceedings — We are not involved in any legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

U.S. Government Contracting Matter — We have sold our products and related services to the U.S. Government (the “Government”) under General Services Administration (“GSA”) Federal Supply Schedule contracts (the “GSA Contracts”) since 2002 and are currently selling our products and related services to the Government under two such GSA Contracts. Each GSA Contract is subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and includes, among other provisions, a price reduction clause (the “Price Reduction Clause”), which generally requires us to reduce the prices billed to the Government under the GSA Contracts to correspond to the lowest prices billed to certain benchmark customers.

Late in the fourth quarter of 2018, during an internal review we preliminarily determined that certain of our pricing practices may have resulted in the Government being overcharged under the Price Reduction Clauses of the GSA Contracts (the “GSA Matter”). As a result, we have begun remediation efforts, including but not limited to, the identification of additional controls and procedures to ensure future compliance with the pricing and other requirements of the GSA Contracts. We also retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to assist with these efforts and to conduct a comprehensive review of our pricing and other practices under the GSA Contracts (the “Review”). On February 14, 2019, we reported the GSA Matter to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General.

As a result of the GSA Matter, for fourth quarter 2018, we reduced our total sales by a $4.8 million estimated cumulative sales adjustment, representative of the last six years of estimated overcharges to the Government under the GSA Contracts. In addition, for the fourth quarter of 2018, we recorded $0.5 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment, which increased Interest expense, net and resulted in an estimated total liability of $5.3 million for the GSA Matter. This adjustment was based on our preliminary review as of February 20, 2019, the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, in first quarter 2019, we recorded an additional $0.1 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment.

On July 15, 2019, we submitted a report to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General setting forth the findings of the Review conducted by our outside legal counsel and forensic accountants. Based on the results of the Review, we reduced our total sales for second quarter 2019 by an incremental $5.8 million sales adjustment, reflecting an estimated aggregate overcharge of $10.6 million under the GSA Contracts for the period from July 2011 to March 2019. In addition, we recorded an incremental $0.4 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment in the second quarter 2019, which increased Interest expense, net and resulted in a $6.2 million increase in the estimated total liability for the GSA Matter. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have recorded an aggregate estimated total liability for the GSA Matter of $11.6 million.

While we have reported this matter and submitted the findings of the Review to the GSA, the Government may conduct its own investigation or review (including an audit). We intend to cooperate fully with any Government inquiry. The Government’s review of, or investigation into, this matter could result in civil and criminal penalties, administrative sanctions, and contract remedies being imposed on us, including but not limited to, termination of the GSA Contracts, repayments of amounts already received under the GSA Contracts, forfeiture of profits, damages, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with the Government and possibly U.S. state and local governments. We may also be subject to litigation and recovery under the federal False Claims Act and possibly similar state laws, which could include claims for treble damages, penalties, fees and costs. As a result, we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the Government’s review of, or investigation into, this matter at this time or the resulting future financial impact on us. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, our sales, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. In addition, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, legal and related costs in connection with the Review and the Government’s response to this matter.

NOTE 17 – LEASES

We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, research and development facilities, sales and training facilities, vehicles, and certain equipment under which we assume the role of lessee. We do not lease assets as a lessor. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately seven years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to eight years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within three months. We currently do not sublease any of our leased assets.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate include the variable portion when calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option at the time the lease is commenced. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

While we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019		Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Operating lease cost	$	2,029	$	3,997
Finance lease cost:
Amortization of ROU assets	$	98	$	190
Interest on lease liabilities	$	12	$	24
Total finance lease cost	$	110	$	214

We recognize lease payments made for short-term leases where terms are 12 months or less as the payments are incurred. Our short-term lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

The results of Open Technologies’ operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

The acquisitions of Laser Control Systems, Photocore AG, Lanmark and Open Technologies constitute business combinations as defined by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations below represent our final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for such acquisitions. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, certain refinements were booked for the Open Technologies acquisition as part of the finalization process, which included a reduction of $2.6 million to the valuation of the customer relationship intangible and the recognition of a deferred tax liability of $1.9 million. Goodwill increased $4.5 million as result of these changes in the finalization process.

On July 15, 2019, our Board of Directors appointed Allen Muhich as our Chief Financial Officer, effective July 26, 2019, to succeed Robert Seidel, who will cease serving as our Chief Financial Officer effective July 25, 2019 but will continue as our employee for a transition period. Mr. Muhich will also serve as our principal accounting officer, effective July 26, 2019. In connection with his employment, on July 15, 2019, Mr. Muhich accepted a written offer letter from us (the “Offer Letter”) that provides for the following initial compensation:

• Base salary - An annual base salary of $371,000.

• Signing bonus - Mr. Muhich will receive a one-time signing bonus equal to $200,000 payable in a lump sum in cash within 30 days following July 26, 2019. Mr. Muhich will be required to repay the signing bonus if, prior to July 26, 2021: (i) he voluntarily terminates his employment with us or (ii) his employment is terminated by us for “cause” (as defined in the Offer Letter).

• Sign-on equity grant - Mr. Muhich will be granted a one-time sign-on restricted stock unit award on July 26, 2019 with a target value of $1 million.

One-third of the time-based restricted stock units will vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The performance-based restricted stock units will be earned based on how our total shareholder return, or TSR, compares to the TSR of the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the performance period from July 26, 2019 to July 26, 2022 (the “Relative TSR”). If our Relative TSR during the performance period is (i) at the 55% percentile, 100% of the target performance-based restricted stock units awarded will be earned and will vest; (ii) at or above the 80th percentile, 200% of the target performance-based restricted stock units awarded will be earned and will vest, provided that if our TSR for the performance period is negative, the maximum percentage that may be earned is 100%; (iii) at the 25th percentile, 25% of the target performance-based restricted stock units awarded will be earned and will vest; and (iv) below the 25th percentile, no performance-based restricted stock units will be earned. The percentage of performance-based restricted stock units that are earned will be interpolated if Relative TSR is between the 25th and 80th percentiles during the performance period.

• Relocation expenses - Mr. Muhich is entitled to receive relocation assistance in the form of reimbursement for real estate agents’ commission (capped at 7%) and customary, non-recurring home sale closing costs, subject to an aggregate cap of $50,000. In the event Mr. Muhich voluntarily terminates his employment with us prior to the 12-month anniversary of the date of his relocation, he will be required to repay a prorated portion of all relocation expenses incurred, including all Company tax liabilities.

• Transition to short-term incentive plan - Mr. Muhich will be eligible to receive a target cash bonus of 65% of his base salary, pro-rated for the number of days he is employed by us during 2019, provided that he remains employed by us on December 31, 2019 and conditioned upon his achievement of certain performance goals for 2019 established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) and accepted by Mr. Muhich.

• Short-term incentive plan - Mr. Muhich will be eligible to participate in our short-term incentive plan beginning in 2020, with an initial target payout of at least 65% of his base salary conditioned upon our achievement of the performance goals established by the Compensation Committee.

• Long-term incentive plan - Mr. Muhich will be eligible to receive annual grants under our long-term incentive plan beginning in 2020, with a target value of at least $600,000. Such grants are expected to be awarded in a combination of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units, in ratio of 50% and 50%, respectively.

Pursuant to the Offer Letter, in the event that Mr. Muhich is terminated without cause, he will be eligible to receive severance benefits as a participant under our Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan is described in our 2019 proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2019.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

FARO Technologies, Inc. (“FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) has made “forward-looking statements” in this report (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Statements that are not historical facts or that describe our plans, beliefs, goals, intentions, objectives, projections, expectations, assumptions, strategies, or future events are forward-looking statements. In addition, words such as “may,” “might,” “would,” “will,” “will be,” “future,” “strategy,” “believe,” “plan,” “should,” “could,” “seek,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “goal,” “objective,” “project,” “forecast,” “target” and similar words identify forward-looking statements.

27

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Consequently, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, unless otherwise required by law. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

• an economic downturn in the manufacturing industry or the domestic and international economies in the regions of the world where we operate;

• our inability to further penetrate our customer base and target markets;

• development by others of new or improved products, processes or technologies that make our products less competitive or obsolete;

• our inability to maintain what we believe to be our technological advantage by developing new products and enhancing our existing products;

• the outcome of the U.S. Government’s review of, or investigation into, our potential overcharging of the U.S. Government under our General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contracts, any resulting penalties, damages or sanctions imposed on us and the outcome of any resulting litigation to which we may become a party, loss of future government sales and potential impacts on customer and supplier relationships and our reputation;

• risks associated with expanding international operations, such as difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, increased political and economic instability, compliance with potentially evolving import and export regulations, and the burdens and potential exposure of complying with a wide variety of U.S. and foreign laws and labor practices;

• changes in trade regulation, which result in rising prices of imported steel, steel byproducts, aluminum and aluminum byproducts and various other raw materials that we use in the production of measurement devices, and our ability to pass those costs on to our customers or require our suppliers to absorb such costs;

• changes in foreign regulation which may result in rising prices of our measurement devices sold as exports to our international customers, our customers’ willingness to absorb incremental import tariffs, and the corresponding impact on our profitability;

• our inability to successfully identify and acquire target companies and achieve expected benefits from, and effectively integrate, acquisitions that are consummated;

• the cyclical nature of the industries of our customers and material adverse changes in our customers’ access to liquidity and capital;

• changes in the potential for the computer-aided measurement (“CAM2”) market and the potential adoption rate for our products, which are difficult to quantify and predict;

• our inability to protect our patents and other proprietary rights in the United States and foreign countries;

Overview

FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement and imaging solutions. This technology permits high-precision 3D measurement, imaging and comparison of parts and complex structures within production and quality assurance processes. Our devices are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, as well as for investigation and reconstruction of accident sites or crime scenes. We sell the majority of our products through a direct sales force across a broad number of customers in a range of manufacturing, industrial, architecture, surveying, building information modeling, construction, public safety forensics, cultural heritage, dental, and other applications. Our FaroArm^®, FARO ScanArm^®, FARO Laser Tracker^TM, FARO Laser Projector, and their companion CAM2^®, BuildIT, and BuildIT Projector software solutions, provide for Computer-Aided Design (“CAD”) based inspection, factory-level statistical process control, high-density surveying and laser-guided assembly and production. Together, these products integrate the measurement, quality inspection, and reverse engineering functions with CAD and 3D software to improve productivity, enhance product quality, and decrease rework and scrap in the manufacturing process, mainly supporting applications in our 3D Manufacturing vertical. Our FARO Focus, Faro ScanPlan and FARO Scanner Freestyle^3D X laser scanners, and their companion FARO SCENE, BuildIT, FARO As-Built^TM, and FARO Zone public safety forensics software offerings, are utilized for a wide variety of 3D modeling, documentation and high-density surveying applications in our Construction Building Information Modeling (“Construction BIM”) and Public Safety Forensics verticals. Our FARO ScanArm^®, FARO Scanner Freestyle^3D X laser scanners and their companion SCENE software, and other 3D-structured light scanning solutions specific to the dental industry also enable a fully digital workflow used to capture real world geometry for the purpose of empowering design, enabling innovation, and speeding up the design cycle, supporting our 3D Design vertical. Our line of galvanometer-based scan heads and laser scan controllers are used in a variety of laser applications and are integrated into larger components and systems, supporting our Photonics vertical.

We derive our revenues primarily from the sale of our measurement equipment and related multi-faceted software programs. Revenue related to these products is generally recognized upon shipment. In addition, we sell extended warranties and training and technology consulting services relating to our products. We recognize the revenue from extended warranties on a straight-line basis over the term of the warranty, and revenue from training and technology consulting services when the services are provided.

We operate in international markets throughout the world and maintain sales offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

We manufacture our FaroArm^® and FARO ScanArm^® products in our manufacturing facility located in Switzerland for customer orders from Europe, the Middle East and Africa, in our manufacturing facility located in Singapore for customer orders from the Asia-Pacific region, and in our manufacturing facility located in Florida for customer orders from the Americas. We manufacture our FARO Focus in our manufacturing facilities located in Germany and Switzerland for customer orders from Europe, the Middle East and Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, and in our manufacturing facility located in Pennsylvania for customer orders from the Americas. We manufacture our FARO Freestyle^3D X products in our facility located in Germany. We manufacture our FARO Laser Projector and FARO Laser Tracker^TM products in our facility located in Pennsylvania. We manufacture our 3D-structured light scanning solutions specific to the dental industry in our engineering and manufacturing facility in Italy. We expect all of our existing manufacturing facilities to have the production capacity necessary to support our volume requirements through the remainder of 2019.

We account for wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries in the currency of the respective foreign jurisdiction; therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates may have an impact on the value of the intercompany account balances denominated in different currencies and reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We are aware of the availability of off-balance sheet financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, including cross-currency swaps, forward contracts and foreign currency options. However, we have not used such instruments in the past, and none were utilized in 2018 or the six months ended June 30, 2019.

We have sold our products and related services to the U.S. Government (the “Government”) under General Services Administration (“GSA”) Federal Supply Schedule contracts (the “GSA Contracts”) since 2002 and are currently selling our products and related services to the Government under two such GSA Contracts. Each GSA Contract is subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and includes, among other provisions, a price reduction clause (the “Price Reduction Clause”), which generally requires us to reduce the prices billed to the Government under the GSA Contracts to correspond to the lowest prices billed to certain benchmark customers.

30

Late in the fourth quarter of 2018, during an internal review we preliminarily determined that certain of our pricing practices may have resulted in the Government being overcharged under the Price Reduction Clauses of the GSA Contracts (the “GSA Matter”). On February 14, 2019, we reported the GSA Matter to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General.

As a result of the GSA Matter, for the fourth quarter of 2018, we reduced our total sales by a $4.8 million estimated cumulative sales adjustment, representative of the last six years of estimated overcharges to the Government under the GSA Contracts. In addition, for the fourth quarter of 2018, we recorded $0.5 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment, which increased Interest expense, net and resulted in an estimated total liability of $5.3 million for the GSA Matter. This adjustment was based on our preliminary review as of February 20, 2019, the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, in first quarter 2019, we recorded an additional $0.1 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment.

On July 15, 2019, we submitted a report to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General setting forth the findings of the review of our pricing and other practices under the GSA Contracts conducted by our outside legal counsel and forensic accountants (the “Review”). Based on the results of the Review, we reduced our total sales for second quarter 2019 by an incremental $5.8 million sales adjustment, reflecting an estimated aggregate overcharge of $10.6 million under the GSA Contracts for the period from July 2011 to March 2019. In addition, we recorded an incremental $0.4 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment in the second quarter 2019, which increased Interest expense, net and resulted in a $6.2 million increase in the estimated total liability for the GSA Matter. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have recorded an aggregate estimated total liability for the GSA Matter of $11.6 million.

On April 27, 2018, we invested $1.8 million in present4D GmbH (“present4D”), a software solutions provider for professional virtual reality presentations and training environments, in the form of an equity capital contribution. This initial contribution represented a minority investment in present4D. This investment’s business purpose is to coordinate the design and development of modules supporting compatibility with virtual reality for our existing software offerings. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we determined it is more likely than not that we will not recover our cost basis in present4D and recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million, which is included in Other expense, net. Notwithstanding the aforementioned impairment charge based on our current valuation of present4D, we continue to believe in the benefits of present4D’s technology and intellectual property to our business. We have not provided support to present4D during 2018 or the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 outside of our initial investment of $1.8 million. However, we may provide future support in the form of loans or other credit extended to present4D or additional share capital purchases.

Since the end of the second quarter of 2018, the following changes were made to our verticals and reporting segments:

• In the third quarter of 2018, we merged the historical Factory Metrology and 3D Machine Vision verticals into one vertical named “3D Factory” for greater consistency with our realigned reporting segments.

• In the third quarter of 2018, we segregated the operations of our acquisitions of Laser Control Systems Limited and Lanmark Controls, Inc., along with the operations resulting from our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Instrument Associates, LLC d/b/a Nutfield Technology, into a vertical that we named “Photonics.” The creation of this vertical enables us to better focus on our product range directed at laser steering. These operations were historically reported in the 3D Factory reporting segment in the first six months of 2018 and are now included in the Emerging Verticals (formerly known as “Other”) reporting segment.

•In the third quarter of 2018, we renamed our Product Design vertical “3D Design.”

• In the fourth quarter of 2018, we renamed our 3D Factory vertical and reporting segment “3D Manufacturing.”

There has been no change in our total consolidated financial condition or results of operations previously reported as a result of these changes in our verticals and reportable segments. The amounts related to our reporting segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the changes in our reporting segments. Each of our reporting segments continues to employ consistent accounting policies.

Amounts reported in millions within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are computed based on the amounts in thousands. As a result, the sum of the components reported in millions may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding. Certain columns and rows within the tables that follow may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated based on the respective amounts in thousands.

Consolidated Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Sales. Total sales decreased by $4.7 million, or 4.8%, to $93.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $98.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Based on the results of the review of the GSA Matter conducted by our outside legal counsel and forensic accountants, we reduced our total sales for second quarter 2019 by an incremental $5.8 million sales adjustment, reflecting an estimated aggregate overcharge of $10.6 million under the GSA Contracts for the period from July 2011 to March 2019, which included a $5.0 million reduction in product sales and a $0.8 million reduction in service sales (the “GSA incremental sales adjustment”). Total product sales decreased by $7.7 million, or 10.2%, to $68.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $75.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our product sales decreased primarily due to the $5.0 million reduction in product sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment, the impact of changes in foreign currencies and a decrease in unit sales within our 3D Manufacturing reporting segment, especially in our Asia-Pacific region. Service revenue increased by $3.0 million, or 13.2%, to $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in customer service revenue and warranty revenue driven by the growth of our installed base and our focused after-market sales initiatives, partially offset by the $0.8 million reduction in service sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment. Foreign exchange rates had a negative impact on total sales of $2.5 million, decreasing our overall sales growth rate by approximately 2.6 percentage points, primarily due to the weakening of the Euro and Chinese Yuan relative to the U.S. dollar.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased by $5.4 million, or 9.3%, to $52.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $57.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and gross margin decreased to 56.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 58.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the GSA incremental sales adjustment, partially offset by the increase in gross margin from service revenue. Gross margin from product revenue decreased by 5.9 percentage points to 57.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 63.2% for the prior year period, primarily as a result of the GSA incremental sales adjustment and less favorable manufacturing cost absorption. Gross margin from service revenue increased by 8.7 percentage points to 52.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 43.7% for the prior year period, primarily as a result of service revenue growth and improved efficiencies in our customer service repair process.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 3.2%, to $29.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $30.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was driven primarily by lower marketing expenses and a decrease in selling commission expense driven by lower product sales in our 3D Manufacturing reporting segment, partially offset by an increase in compensation expense related to our investment in increased selling headcount as part of our global initiatives to drive sales. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 31.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared with 30.6% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our worldwide period-ending selling headcount increased by 91, or 13.5%, to 764 at June 30, 2019, from 673 at June 30, 2018.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.1 million, or 27.4%, to $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was mostly due to an aggregate incremental cost of $1.5 million related to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) succession, as we recognized additional compensation expense during the second quarter of 2019 in connection with the June 2019 vesting of option awards held by our former CEO and the $0.5 million signing bonus to our current CEO, as well as advisory fees of $0.7 million incurred during the second quarter of 2019 related to the GSA Matter. General and administrative expenses increased to 15.4% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 11.5% of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 4.5%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven primarily by higher amortization of intangible assets related to our 2018 acquisitions.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $0.9 million, or 8.9%, to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in materials and consulting costs, as well as favorable changes in foreign currencies as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Euro, which decreased the compensation cost of foreign research and development employees. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 10.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest expense (income), net. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded interest expense of $0.2 million compared with interest income of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This change was mainly due to the imputed interest expense recorded related to the GSA Matter in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Other expense, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, other expense increased by $1.2 million to $1.7 million from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This change was mainly due to the $1.5 million impairment charge related to our equity investment in present4D GmbH (“present4D”) recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

33

Income tax (benefit) expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million compared with income tax expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our effective tax rate was (6.1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 19.9% in the prior year period. The changes in our income tax (benefit) expense and our effective tax rate were primarily due to a pretax loss during the second quarter of 2019 compared to pretax income in the same period of 2018, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in our reserve for uncertain tax positions recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to a change in our judgment on the recognition of a tax position during the quarter.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pretax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pretax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Net (loss) income. Our net loss was $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to net income of $1.2 million for the prior year period, reflecting the impact of the factors described above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Sales. Total sales decreased by $4.0 million, or 2.1%, to $187.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $191.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the second quarter of 2019, we reduced our total sales by the $5.8 million GSA incremental sales adjustment. Total product sales decreased by $9.5 million, or 6.5%, to $136.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $146.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our product sales decreased primarily due to the $5.0 million reduction in product sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment, the impact of changes in foreign currencies and a decrease in unit sales within our 3D Manufacturing reporting segment driven by the impact of our sales portfolio realignment in the first quarter of 2019 and the decline in our 3D Manufacturing product sales in our Asia-Pacific region in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by an increase in unit sales within our Construction BIM and Emerging Verticals reporting segments. Service revenue increased by $5.5 million, or 12.4%, to $50.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $44.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in customer service revenue and warranty revenue driven by the growth of our installed based and our focused sales initiatives to maintain customer relationships after the initial purchase of our measurement devices, partially offset by the $0.8 million reduction in service sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment. Foreign exchange rates had a negative impact on sales of $6.4 million, decreasing our overall sales growth rate by approximately 3.3 percentage points, primarily due to the weakening of the Euro, Chinese Yuan, Japanese Yen, and British Pound Sterling relative to the U.S. dollar.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased by $4.2 million, or 3.7%, to $107.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $111.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and gross margin decreased to 57.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 58.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the GSA incremental sales adjustment in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by the increase in gross margin from service revenue. Gross margin from product revenue decreased by 2.9 percentage points to 59.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 62.6% for the prior year period, primarily as a result of the GSA incremental sales adjustment in the second quarter of 2019. Gross margin from service revenue increased by 6.6 percentage points to 51.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 44.5% for the prior year period, primarily as a result of service revenue growth and improved efficiencies in our customer service repair process.

Selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $2.5 million, or 4.2%, to $55.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $58.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was driven primarily by lower marketing expenses and a decrease in selling commission expense due to a reduction in our product sales in our 3D Manufacturing reporting segment, partially offset by an increase in compensation expenses related to our investment in increased selling headcount as part of our global initiatives to drive sales. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 29.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with 30.5% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our worldwide period-ending selling headcount increased by 91, or 13.5%, to 764 at June 30, 2019, from 673 at June 30, 2018.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $5.2 million, or 23.5%, to $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $22.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was mostly due to an aggregate incremental cost of $2.4 million related to our CEO succession, as we recognized additional compensation expense during 2019 in connection with the June 2019 vesting of option awards held by our former CEO and the $0.5 million signing bonus to our current CEO, as well as the advisory fees of $1.2 million incurred related to the GSA Matter. General and administrative expenses increased to 14.8% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 11.7% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

34

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 6.9%, to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was driven primarily by higher amortization of intangible assets related to our 2018 acquisitions.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.9%, to $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in materials and consulting costs, as well as favorable changes in foreign currencies as the U.S. dollar strengthened against the Euro, which decreased the compensation cost of foreign research and development employees, partially offset by higher compensation expense resulting from increased engineering headcount due to our 2018 acquisitions. Research and development expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 10.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 10.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest expense (income), net. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded interest expense of $0.1 million compared with interest income of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This change was mainly due to the imputed interest expense recorded related to the GSA Matter in the second quarter of 2019.

Other expense, net. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, other expense increased by $1.2 million to $1.9 million from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the $1.5 million impairment charge related to our equity investment in present4D recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

Income tax (benefit) expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million compared with income tax expense of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our effective tax rate was (4.0%) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 20.5% in the prior year period. The changes in our income tax (benefit) expense and our effective tax rate were primarily due to a pretax loss during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to pretax income in the same period of 2018, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in our reserve for uncertain tax positions due to a change in our judgment on the recognition of a tax position during the second quarter of 2019.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our quarterly provision for income tax expense are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pretax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pretax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Net (loss) income. Our net loss was $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to net income of $1.7 million for the prior year period, reflecting the impact of the factors described above.

Segment Results

We use segment profit to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments, which are 3D Manufacturing, Construction BIM and Emerging Verticals. Segment profit is calculated as gross profit less selling and marketing expenses for the reporting segment. The discussion of segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 presented below is based on segment profit, as described above, and segment profit as a percent of sales, which is calculated as segment profit divided by total sales for such reporting segment, which we believe will aid investors in understanding and analyzing our operating results. Our definition of segment profit may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. For additional information, including a reconciliation of segment profit to income from operations, see Note 15 – Segment Reporting, in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

For a description of the changes made to our verticals and reporting segments since the end of the second quarter of 2018, see the “Overview” section above. The amounts related to our reporting segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated below to reflect the changes in our reporting segments.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Total sales by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2019		% of Total		June 30, 2018		% of Total
3D Manufacturing	$	59,002	63.2	%	$	63,989	65.2	%
Construction BIM	24,161		25.8	%	23,567		24.0	%
Emerging Verticals	10,328		11.0	%	10,688		10.8	%
Total sales	$	93,491			$	98,244

(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Total sales	$	59,002		$	63,989
Segment profit	$	17,819		$	20,898
Segment profit as a % of 3D Manufacturing segment sales	30.2		%	32.7		%

Sales. Total sales in our 3D Manufacturing segment decreased by $5.0 million, or 7.8%, to $59.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $64.0 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the $3.3 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment in the second quarter of 2019 and a decrease in product units sold, especially in our Asia-Pacific region, partially offset by continued growth in service revenue.

Segment profit. Segment profit in our 3D Manufacturing segment decreased by $3.1 million, or 14.7%, to $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $20.9 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the $3.3 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment.

Construction BIM
(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Total sales	$	24,161		$	23,567
Segment profit	$	6,574		$	5,865
Segment profit as a % of Construction BIM segment sales	27.2		%	24.9		%

Sales. Total sales in our Construction BIM segment increased by $0.6 million, or 2.5%, to $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $23.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in service revenue driven by the growth of our installed, serviceable base and higher average selling prices of our products, partially offset by the $0.5 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment in the second quarter of 2019.

36

Segment profit. Segment profit in our Construction BIM segment increased by $0.7 million, or 12.1%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $5.9 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in product gross margin, reflecting improved manufacturing efficiencies and higher average selling prices.

Emerging Verticals
(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Total sales	$	10,328		$	10,688
Segment (loss) profit	$	(1,198	)	$	844
Segment (loss) profit as a % of Emerging Verticals segment sales	(11.6		)%	7.9		%

Sales. Total sales in our Emerging Verticals segment decreased by $0.4 million, or 3.4%, to $10.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $10.7 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the $2.0 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by higher service revenue.

Segment (loss) profit. Segment loss in our Emerging Verticals segment was $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a segment profit of $0.8 million in the prior year period. This change of $2.0 million was primarily due to the $2.0 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Total sales by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019		% of Total		June 30, 2018		% of Total
3D Manufacturing	$	115,569	61.8	%	$	124,646	65.2	%
Construction BIM	49,600		26.5	%	46,249		24.2	%
Emerging Verticals	21,939		11.7	%	20,183		10.6	%
Total sales	$	187,108			$	191,078

Segment profit	$	36,989		$	39,322
Segment profit as a % of 3D Manufacturing segment sales	32.0		%	31.5		%

Sales. Total sales in our 3D Manufacturing segment decreased by $9.0 million, or 7.3%, to $115.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $124.6 million in the prior year period. This decrease was due to the $3.3 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2019 and a decrease in product units sold driven by the impact of our sales portfolio realignment in the first quarter of 2019 and the decline in product sales in our Asia-Pacific region in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by continued growth in service revenue.

Segment profit. Segment profit in our 3D Manufacturing segment decreased by $2.3 million, or 5.9%, to $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $39.3 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the $3.3 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment, partially offset by service revenue growth, a decrease in selling expense due to lower commissions and a decrease in travel expenses.

37

Construction BIM
(dollars in thousands)	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Total sales	$	49,600		$	46,249
Segment profit	$	15,000		$	12,316
Segment profit as a % of Construction BIM segment sales	30.2		%	26.6		%

Sales. Total sales in our Construction BIM segment increased by $3.4 million, or 7.2%, to $49.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $46.2 million in the prior year period, primarily due to increases in product unit sales and service revenue, partially offset by the $0.5 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

Segment profit. Segment profit in our Construction BIM segment increased by $2.7 million, or 21.8%, to $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $12.3 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the increase in product unit sales and an increase in product gross margin, reflecting improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Emerging Verticals
(dollars in thousands)	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Total sales	$	21,939		$	20,183
Segment (loss) profit	$	(528	)	$	1,484
Segment (loss) profit as a % of Emerging Verticals segment sales	(2.4		)%	7.4		%

Sales. Total sales in our Emerging Verticals segment increased by $1.7 million, or 8.7%, to $21.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $20.2 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher sales in all of our emerging verticals, as we continue to strategically invest in new markets both through acquisition and organically, partially offset by the $2.0 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

Segment (loss) profit. Segment loss in our Emerging Verticals segment was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to segment profit of $1.5 million in the prior year period. This change of $2.0 million was primarily due to the $2.0 million reduction in sales related to the GSA incremental sales adjustment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $11.8 million to $120.6 million at June 30, 2019 from $108.8 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by net cash used in investing and financing activities. Cash provided by operating activities was $17.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to less than $0.1 million of cash provided by operations during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was mainly due to changes in working capital accounts, primarily a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in the GSA liability, partially offset by an increase in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and lease liability.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $4.9 million compared to $12.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to $4.0 million in cash paid for acquisitions and $1.8 million in cash paid for equity investments and advances to affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to no such activity during the same period in 2019.

Cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change was primarily due to $7.1 million in cash received from the exercise of employee stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and payments for taxes related to the net share settlement of equity awards of $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to no such payments during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Of our cash and cash equivalents, $80.9 million was held by foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2019. On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, resulting in significant modifications to existing tax law, which included a transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. Despite the changes in U.S. tax law, our current intent is to indefinitely reinvest these funds in our foreign operations, as the cash is needed to fund ongoing operations.

On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. We made no stock repurchases during the six month period ended June 30, 2019 under this program. As of June 30, 2019, we had authorization to repurchase $18.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.

We believe that our working capital and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our long-term liquidity operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of June 30, 2019, we had $49.1 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months. Other than as described in the preceding sentences, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations and commercial commitments table included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience, along with various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A discussion of our critical accounting policies is included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, our critical accounting policies have not changed from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

39

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Exposure

We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the United States. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, 62% of our revenue was invoiced, and a significant portion of our operating expenses were paid, in foreign currencies, and 48% of our assets were denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and such foreign currencies may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition and could specifically result in foreign exchange gains and losses. The impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on the results of our operations cannot be accurately predicted due to our constantly changing exposure to various currencies, and the fact that all foreign currencies do not react in the same manner in relation to the U.S. dollar. Our most significant exposures are to the Euro, Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and Brazilian Real. To the extent that the percentage of our non-U.S. dollar revenues derived from international sales increases in the future, our exposure to risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may increase. We are aware of the availability of off-balance sheet financial instruments to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, including cross-currency swaps, forward contracts and foreign currency options. However, we have not used such instruments in the past, and none were utilized in 2018 or the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC’s”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

41

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC, and in this Item 1A before deciding to invest in, or retain, shares of our common stock. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known by us or by factors that we currently consider to be immaterial to our business. As of June 30, 2019, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer Under the Share Repurchase Plan

On November 24, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a $30.0 million share repurchase program. Acquisitions for the share repurchase program may be made from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. There is no expiration date or other restriction governing the period over which we can repurchase shares under the program. In October 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30.0 million to $50.0 million. We made no stock repurchases during the six month period ended June 30, 2019 under this program. As of June 30, 2019, we had authorization to repurchase $18.3 million remaining under the repurchase program.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Description of Business

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively “FARO,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” or “our”) design, develop, manufacture, market and support software driven, three-dimensional (“3D”) measurement and imaging solutions. This technology permits high-precision 3D measurement, imaging and comparison of parts and complex structures within production and quality assurance processes. Our devices are used for inspection of components and assemblies, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, documenting large volume or structures in 3D, surveying and construction, as well as for investigation and reconstruction of accident sites or crime scenes. We sell the majority of our products through a direct sales force across a broad number of customers in a range of manufacturing, industrial, architecture, surveying, building information modeling, construction, public safety forensics, cultural heritage, dental, and other applications. Our FaroArm^®, FARO ScanArm^®, FARO Laser Tracker^TM, FARO Laser Projector, and their companion CAM2^®, BuildIT, and BuildIT Projector software solutions, provide for Computer-Aided Design (“CAD”) based inspection, factory-level statistical process control, high-density surveying and laser-guided assembly and production. Together, these products integrate the measurement, quality inspection, and reverse engineering functions with CAD and 3D software to improve productivity, enhance product quality, and decrease rework and scrap in the manufacturing process, mainly supporting applications in our 3D Manufacturing vertical. Our FARO Focus, FARO ScanPlan and FARO Scanner Freestyle^3D X laser scanners, and their companion FARO SCENE, BuildIT, FARO As-Built^TM, and FARO Zone public safety forensics software offerings, are utilized for a wide variety of 3D modeling, documentation and high-density surveying applications in our Construction Building Information Modeling (“Construction BIM”) and Public Safety Forensics verticals. Our FARO ScanArm^®, FARO Scanner Freestyle^3D X laser scanners and their companion SCENE software, and other 3D-structured light scanning solutions specific to the dental industry also enable a fully digital workflow used to capture real world geometry for the purpose of empowering design, enabling innovation, and speeding up the design cycle, supporting our 3D Design vertical. Our line of galvanometer-based scan heads and laser scan controllers are used in a variety of laser applications and are integrated into larger components and systems, supporting our Photonics vertical.

We report our segment information in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“FASB ASC Topic 280”). We evaluate business performance based upon several metrics, using revenue growth and segment profit as the primary financial measures.

Since the end of the second quarter of 2018, the following changes were made to our verticals and reporting segments:

• In the third quarter of 2018, we merged the historical Factory Metrology and 3D Machine Vision verticals into one vertical named “3D Factory” for greater consistency with our realigned reporting segments.

• In the third quarter of 2018, we segregated the operations of our acquisitions of Laser Control Systems Limited (“Laser Control Systems”) and Lanmark Controls, Inc. (“Lanmark”), along with the operations resulting from our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Instrument Associates, LLC d/b/a Nutfield Technology, into a vertical that we named “Photonics.” The creation of this vertical enables us to better focus on our product range directed at laser steering. These operations were historically reported in the 3D Factory reporting segment in the first six months of 2018 and are now included in the Emerging Verticals (formerly known as “Other”) reporting segment.

• In the third quarter of 2018, we renamed our Product Design vertical “3D Design.”

• In the fourth quarter of 2018, we renamed our 3D Factory vertical and reporting segment “3D Manufacturing.”

There has been no change in our total consolidated financial condition or results of operations previously reported as a result of these changes in our verticals and reportable segments. The amounts related to our reporting segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the changes in our reporting segments. Each of our reporting segments continues to employ consistent accounting policies.

We now report our activities in the following three reportable segments:

• The 3D Manufacturing reporting segment contains solely our 3D Manufacturing vertical and provides both standardized and customized solutions for 3D measurement and inspection in an industrial or manufacturing environment. Applications include alignment, part inspection, dimensional analysis, first article inspection, incoming and in-process inspection, machine calibration, non-contact inspection, robot calibration, tool building and set-up, and assembly guidance.

• The Construction BIM reporting segment contains solely our Construction BIM vertical and provides solutions for as-built data capturing and 3D visualization in building information modeling applications, allowing our customers in the architecture, engineering and construction markets to quickly and accurately extract two-dimensional (“2D”) and 3D measurement points. Applications include as-built documentation, construction monitoring, surveying, asset and facility management, and heritage preservation.

• The Emerging Verticals reporting segment includes our 3D Design, Public Safety Forensics, and Photonics verticals. Our 3D Design vertical provides advanced 3D solutions to capture and edit 3D shapes of products, people and/or environments for design purposes in product development, computer graphics and dental and medical applications. Our Public Safety Forensics vertical provides solutions to public safety officials and professionals to capture environmental or situational scenes in 2D and 3D for crime, crash and fire scene investigations and environmental safety evaluations. Our Photonics vertical develops and markets galvanometer-based laser measurement products and solutions.

All operating segments that do not meet the criteria to be reportable segments are aggregated in the Emerging Verticals reporting segment and have been combined based on the aggregation criteria and quantitative thresholds in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 280. Our reporting segments have been determined in accordance with our internal management structure, which is based on operating activities. Each segment is responsible for its own product management, sales, strategy and profitability. See Note 15 – Segment Reporting for further information.

Principles of Consolidation

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net (loss) income.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Preparing financial statements 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or any future period.

The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The accompanying December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from those audited consolidated financial statements. As described in Note 1 – Description of Business, after the second quarter of 2018, we changed our reporting segment structure. Amounts related to our reporting segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect the changes in our reporting segments.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, was issued by the FASB in July 2018 and allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment transition method of adoption. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective as of January 1, 2019 utilizing the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method of adoption, which resulted in the recognition on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 of $18.1 million of right-of-use assets for operating leases, $19.1 million of lease liability for operating leases, $0.9 million of property and equipment, net for finance leases and $0.9 million of lease liability for finance leases under which we function as a lessee. We elected certain practical expedients available under the transition provisions to (i) allow aggregation of non-lease components with the related lease components when evaluating accounting treatment, (ii) apply the modified retrospective adoption method, utilizing the simplified transition option, which allows us to continue to apply the legacy guidance in FASB ASC Topic 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption, and (iii) use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering our options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of our right-of-use assets. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 also required us to include any initial direct costs, which are incremental costs that would not have been incurred had the lease not been obtained, in the right-of-use assets. The recognition of these costs in connection with our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the current guidance, performance of Step 2 requires us to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by following procedures that would be required to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the new guidance, we will perform our goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it fails the qualitative assessment. As a result, all reporting units will be subject to the same impairment assessment. We will still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 becomes effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis. Disclosure of the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle is required upon transition. This disclosure is required in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when we initially adopt the amendments in this ASU. We plan to adopt this guidance for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13, and subsequent related amendments to ASU 2016-13, replace the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model that requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. We will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, but we do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

For revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software, we allocate the contract price to performance obligations based on our best estimate of the standalone selling price. We make this allocation estimate utilizing data from the sale of our applicable products and services to customers separately in similar circumstances, with the exception of software licenses. With respect to software licenses, we use the residual method for allocating the contract price to performance obligations. Revenue related to our measurement and imaging equipment and related software is generally recognized upon shipment from our facilities or when delivered to the customer location, as determined by the agreed upon shipping terms, at which time we are entitled to payment and title and control has passed to the customer. Software arrangements generally include short-term maintenance that is considered post-contract support (“PCS”), which is considered to be a separate performance obligation. We generally establish a standalone sales price for this PCS component based on our maintenance renewal rate. Maintenance renewals, when sold, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the maintenance agreement.  Payments for products and services are collected within a short period of time following transfer of control or commencement of delivery of services, as applicable.

Further, customers frequently purchase extended warranties with the purchase of measurement equipment and related software. Warranties are considered a performance obligation when services are transferred to a customer over time, and, as such, we recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the warranty term. Extended warranty sales primarily include contract periods that extend between one month and three years.

We capitalize commission expenses related to deliverables transferred to a customer over time and amortize such costs ratably over the term of the contract. As of June 30, 2019, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $2.9 million. For classification purposes, $2.0 million and $0.9 million are comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2018, the deferred cost asset related to deferred commissions was approximately $2.5 million. For classification purposes, $1.8 million and $0.7 million were comprised within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018.

The unearned service revenue liabilities reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflect the contract liabilities to satisfy the remaining performance obligations for extended warranties and software maintenance. The current portion of unearned service revenues on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize to revenue within twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranty and software maintenance contract liabilities. The Unearned service revenues - less current portion on our condensed consolidated balance sheets is what we expect to recognize to revenue extending beyond twelve months after the applicable balance sheet date relating to extended warranty and software maintenance contract liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $8.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively, of service revenue that was deferred on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $7.2 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of service revenue that was deferred on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.

The nature of certain of our contracts gives rise to variable consideration, which may be constrained, primarily related to an allowance for sales returns and contracts with certain government customers. We are required to estimate the contract asset related to sales returns and record a corresponding adjustment to Cost of Sales. Our allowance for sales returns was approximately $0.1 million as of both June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers in a sales transaction are recorded in Product Sales and shipping and handling costs incurred are recorded in Cost of Sales. We exclude from Sales any value-added sales and other taxes that we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities.

Stock-Based Compensation

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date. For awards with only a service condition, we expense stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for the entire award. For awards with both performance and service conditions, we expense the stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period taking into account the probability that we will satisfy the performance condition.

We have two compensation plans that provide for the granting of stock options and other share-based awards to key employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) provide for granting options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or stock appreciation rights to employees and non-employee directors. In May 2018, our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2014 Plan, which increased the number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan by 1,000,000 shares. A maximum of 2,974,543 shares are available for issuance under the 2014 Plan, as amended, plus the number of shares (not to exceed 891,960) that were underlying awards outstanding under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) and the 2009 Plan as of May 29, 2014 that thereafter terminate or expire unexercised or are canceled, forfeited or lapse for any reason. No awards were outstanding under the 2004 Plan as of June 30, 2019, and no further grants will be made under the 2004 Plan or the 2009 Plan.

Upon election to the Board, each non-employee director receives an initial equity grant of shares of restricted common stock with a value equal to $100,000, calculated using the closing price of our common stock on the date of the non-employee director’s election to the Board. The initial restricted stock grant vests on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to the non-employee director’s continued membership on the Board. Annually, the non-employee directors are granted restricted shares with a value equal to $100,000 on the first business day following the annual meeting of shareholders, calculated using the closing price of our common stock on that day. In addition, the independent Chairman of the Board is annually granted restricted shares with a value equal to $50,000, and the Lead Director, if one has been appointed, would be annually granted restricted shares with a value of $40,000, on the first business day following the annual meeting of shareholders, calculated using the closing price of our common stock on that day. The shares of restricted stock granted annually to our non-employee directors, our independent Chairman of the Board and, if applicable, our Lead Director vest on the day prior to the following year’s annual meeting date, subject to the non-employee director’s continued membership on the Board. We record compensation expense associated with our restricted stock grants on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Also, beginning in October 2018, our non-employee directors may elect to have their annual cash retainers and annual equity retainers paid in the form of deferred stock units pursuant to the 2014 Plan and the 2018 Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Each deferred stock unit represents the right to receive one share of our common stock upon the non-employee director’s separation of service from the Company. We record compensation expense associated with our deferred stock units over the period of service.

Annually, upon approval by our Compensation Committee, we grant stock-based awards, which historically have been in the form of stock options and/or restricted stock units, to certain employees. We also grant stock-based awards, which historically have been in the form of stock options and/or restricted stock units, to certain new employees throughout the year. The fair value of these stock-based awards is determined by using (a) the current market price of our common stock on the grant date in the case of restricted stock units without a market condition, (b) the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model in the case of performance-based restricted stock units with a market condition, or (c) the Black-Scholes option valuation model in the case of stock options.

Our annual grants in February 2019 and the stock-based awards granted to Michael D. Burger upon the commencement of his service as our President and Chief Executive Officer in June 2019 consisted of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units. Our annual grants in March 2018 consisted of time-based stock options and time-based restricted stock units. The number of stock options and/or restricted stock units granted was based on the employee’s individual objectives, performance against operational metrics assigned to the employee and overall contribution to the Company over the last year.

For the stock-based awards granted in February 2019 and June 2019, the time-based restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date. The performance-based restricted stock unit awards vest at the end of the three-year performance period if the applicable performance measure is achieved. The related stock-based compensation expense will be recognized over the requisite service period, taking into account the probability that we will satisfy the performance measure. The performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2019 will be earned and will vest based upon our total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR attained by companies within our defined benchmark group, the Russell 2000 Growth Index. Due to the TSR presence in these performance-based restricted stock units, the fair value of these awards was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model. We expense these market condition awards over the three-year vesting period regardless of the value the award recipients ultimately receive.

For 2018 grants, stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the grant date and time-based restricted stock unit awards vest in full on the three-year anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of these stock-based awards is determined by using (a) the Black-Scholes option valuation model in the case of stock options or (b) the current market price of our common stock on the grant date in the case of restricted stock units.

The Black-Scholes option and Monte Carlo Simulation valuation models incorporate assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of options or awards, a risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units that were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model was $66.16. No performance-based restricted stock units were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018. For performance-based restricted stock units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 valued using the Monte Carlo Simulation valuation model, we used the following assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019
Risk-free interest rate	1.8% - 2.48%
Expected dividend yield	—	%
Expected volatility	45.0	%
Weighted-average expected volatility	45.0	%

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the stock options that were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model was $23.43 per option. No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019. For stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018 valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, we used the following assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2018
Risk-free interest rate	2.65	%
Expected dividend yield	—	%
Expected term of option	4 years
Expected volatility	45.0	%
Weighted-average expected volatility	45.0	%

Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the expected lives of the options. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yields of U.S. zero coupon issues and U.S. Treasury issues, with a term approximating the expected life of the option being valued.

A summary of stock option activity and weighted-average exercise prices during the six months ended June 30, 2019 follows:

	Options		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value as of June 30, 2019
Outstanding at January 1, 2019	792,943		$	47.59
Granted	—		—
Forfeited or expired	(69,670	)	54.47
Exercised	(21,118	)	34.76
Outstanding at June 30, 2019	702,155		$	47.54	4.0	$	6,116
Options exercisable at June 30, 2019	612,544		$	47.28	2.7	$	5,396

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $0.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $1.6 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. The fair value of stock options vested during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was $4.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity and weighted average grant-date fair values for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at January 1, 2019	311,000		$	42.66
Granted	240,539		48.97
Forfeited	(21,574	)	47.55
Vested	(108,413	)	36.47
Non-vested at June 30, 2019	421,552		$	47.60

We recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, and $5.3 million and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, there was $15.1 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

Short-term investments at June 30, 2019 were composed of U.S. Treasury Bills totaling $24.8 million, consisting of $8.9 million maturing on September 12, 2019 and $15.9 million maturing on December 12, 2019. The interest rates on the U.S. Treasury Bills held on June 30, 2019 that are maturing on September 12, 2019 and December 12, 2019 were 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively. Short-term investments at December 31, 2018 were composed of U.S. Treasury Bills totaling $24.8 million, consisting of $9.0 million, $10.9 million, and $4.9 million that matured on March 14, 2019, June 6, 2019, and June 20, 2019, respectively. The interest rates on the U.S. Treasury Bills held on December 31, 2018 that matured on March 14, 2019, June 6, 2019, and June 20, 2019 were 2.2%, 2.4%, and 2.3%, respectively. The investments are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. We do not intend to sell these investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before we recover their amortized cost bases.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventories

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over its remaining life, typically three years.

Inventories consist of the following: 

	As of June 30, 2019		As of December 31, 2018

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by also considering the impact of potential common stock on both net income and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Our potential common stock consists of employee stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. Our potential common stock is included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when adding such potential common stock would not be anti-dilutive. Performance-based awards are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (and any applicable market condition) (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related contingency period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method. When we report a net loss for the period presented, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes our potential common stock, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were approximately 702,202 shares issuable upon the exercise of options and the contingent vesting of performance-based restricted stock units that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there were approximately 565,398 shares issuable upon the exercise of options that were excluded from the dilutive calculations, as they were anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is presented below:

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, compared with income tax expense of $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (6.1%) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 19.9% in the prior year period. Our effective tax rate was (4.0%) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with 20.5% in the prior year period. The change in our income tax (benefit) expense was primarily due to a pretax loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to pretax income in the same periods of 2018, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in our reserve for uncertain tax positions recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to a change in our judgment on the recognition of a tax position during the quarter.

Our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, and our quarterly provision for income tax (benefit) expense, are subject to significant variation due to numerous factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pretax and taxable income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, as well as the amount of pretax income or loss recognized during the quarter.

Fair Value of Financial Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized in the tables below based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations:

	As of June 30, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (1)	$	—	$	—	$	4,879
Total	$	—	$	—	$	4,879

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (1)	$	—	$	—	$	5,531
Total	$	—	$	—	$	5,531

(1)

Contingent consideration liability represents arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies we acquired based on the former owners attaining future product release milestones. We use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. These probability weightings are developed internally and assessed on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2019, $2.8 million of these arrangements are reported in Accrued liabilities and $2.1 million are reported in Other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018, $3.4 million of these arrangements were reported in Accrued liabilities and $2.1 million were reported in Other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining undiscounted maximum payment under these arrangements was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2019. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was primarily related to our payment of $0.3 million as part of these arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as well as changes in our estimates regarding the probability that the former owners will attain certain product release milestones.

Variable Interest Entities

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is an entity that has one of three characteristics: (1) it is controlled by someone other than its shareowners or partners, (2) its shareowners or partners are not economically exposed to the entity’s earnings (for example, they are protected against losses), or (3) it lacks sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.

On April 27, 2018, we invested $1.8 million in present4D GmbH (“present4D”), a software solutions provider for professional virtual reality presentations and training environments, in the form of an equity capital contribution. This initial contribution represented a minority investment in present4D. This investment’s business purpose is to coordinate the design and development of modules supporting compatibility with virtual reality for our existing software offerings.

As of our April 27, 2018 investment date, present4D was thinly capitalized and lacked sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and is classified as a VIE. We do not have power over decisions that significantly affect present4D’s economic performance and do not represent its primary beneficiary. After April 27, 2020, present4D may request additional equity financing up to $1.8 million from us in exchange for additional share capital, which additional equity financing would be at our discretion. We have not provided support to present4D during 2018 or the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 outside of our initial investment of $1.8 million. However, we may provide future support in the form of loans or other credit extended to present4D or additional share capital purchases. Our 16.5% portion of present4D’s net loss for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 was less than $0.1 million. Present4D is currently accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Our equity in the net loss from this equity-method investment is recorded as loss with a corresponding decrease in the investment.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we determined it is more likely than not that we will not recover our cost basis in present4D and recorded an impairment charge of $1.5 million, which is included in Other expense, net. Our investment in this unconsolidated VIE at June 30, 2019 was $0.2 million and at December 31, 2018 was $1.7 million and is included in Other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

SEGMENT REPORTING

We have three reportable segments: 3D Manufacturing, Construction BIM, and Emerging Verticals. These segments are based upon the vertical markets that we currently serve. Business activities that do not meet the criteria to be reportable segments are aggregated in the Emerging Verticals segment.

We develop, manufacture, market, support and sell CAD-based quality assurance products integrated with CAD-based inspection and statistical process control software and 3D documentation systems in each of these reportable segments. These activities represent more than 99% of consolidated sales.

Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer, evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based upon profitable growth. We use segment profit to evaluate the performance of our reportable segments. Segment profit is calculated as gross profit, net of selling and marketing expenses, for the reporting segment. Our definition of segment profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Our segment structure presented below represents a change from the prior year as further described in Note 1 – Description of Business. The amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been restated to reflect the change in our reporting segments. Each of our reporting segments continues to employ consistent accounting policies.

The following tables present information about our reportable segments, including a reconciliation of segment profit to income from operations included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments — We enter into purchase commitments for products and services in the ordinary course of business. These purchases generally cover production requirements for 60 to 120 days as well as materials necessary to service customer units through the product lifecycle and for warranty commitments. As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $49.1 million in purchase commitments that are expected to be delivered within the next 12 months.

Legal Proceedings — We are not involved in any legal proceedings, including routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

U.S. Government Contracting Matter — We have sold our products and related services to the U.S. Government (the “Government”) under General Services Administration (“GSA”) Federal Supply Schedule contracts (the “GSA Contracts”) since 2002 and are currently selling our products and related services to the Government under two such GSA Contracts. Each GSA Contract is subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and includes, among other provisions, a price reduction clause (the “Price Reduction Clause”), which generally requires us to reduce the prices billed to the Government under the GSA Contracts to correspond to the lowest prices billed to certain benchmark customers.

Late in the fourth quarter of 2018, during an internal review we preliminarily determined that certain of our pricing practices may have resulted in the Government being overcharged under the Price Reduction Clauses of the GSA Contracts (the “GSA Matter”). As a result, we have begun remediation efforts, including but not limited to, the identification of additional controls and procedures to ensure future compliance with the pricing and other requirements of the GSA Contracts. We also retained outside legal counsel and forensic accountants to assist with these efforts and to conduct a comprehensive review of our pricing and other practices under the GSA Contracts (the “Review”). On February 14, 2019, we reported the GSA Matter to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General.

As a result of the GSA Matter, for fourth quarter 2018, we reduced our total sales by a $4.8 million estimated cumulative sales adjustment, representative of the last six years of estimated overcharges to the Government under the GSA Contracts. In addition, for the fourth quarter of 2018, we recorded $0.5 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment, which increased Interest expense, net and resulted in an estimated total liability of $5.3 million for the GSA Matter. This adjustment was based on our preliminary review as of February 20, 2019, the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, in first quarter 2019, we recorded an additional $0.1 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment.

On July 15, 2019, we submitted a report to the GSA and its Office of Inspector General setting forth the findings of the Review conducted by our outside legal counsel and forensic accountants. Based on the results of the Review, we reduced our total sales for second quarter 2019 by an incremental $5.8 million sales adjustment, reflecting an estimated aggregate overcharge of $10.6 million under the GSA Contracts for the period from July 2011 to March 2019. In addition, we recorded an incremental $0.4 million of imputed interest related to the estimated cumulative sales adjustment in the second quarter 2019, which increased Interest expense, net and resulted in a $6.2 million increase in the estimated total liability for the GSA Matter. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have recorded an aggregate estimated total liability for the GSA Matter of $11.6 million.

While we have reported this matter and submitted the findings of the Review to the GSA, the Government may conduct its own investigation or review (including an audit). We intend to cooperate fully with any Government inquiry. The Government’s review of, or investigation into, this matter could result in civil and criminal penalties, administrative sanctions, and contract remedies being imposed on us, including but not limited to, termination of the GSA Contracts, repayments of amounts already received under the GSA Contracts, forfeiture of profits, damages, suspension of payments, fines, and suspension or debarment from doing business with the Government and possibly U.S. state and local governments. We may also be subject to litigation and recovery under the federal False Claims Act and possibly similar state laws, which could include claims for treble damages, penalties, fees and costs. As a result, we cannot reasonably predict the outcome of the Government’s review of, or investigation into, this matter at this time or the resulting future financial impact on us. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, our sales, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. In addition, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, legal and related costs in connection with the Review and the Government’s response to this matter.

Leases [Abstract]

Lessee, Operating Leases

LEASES

We have operating and finance leases for manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, research and development facilities, sales and training facilities, vehicles, and certain equipment under which we assume the role of lessee. We do not lease assets as a lessor. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to approximately seven years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to eight years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within three months. We currently do not sublease any of our leased assets.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Lease liability, and Lease liability - less current portion in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate include the variable portion when calculating ROU assets and lease liabilities. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are expensed as incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option at the time the lease is commenced. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

While we have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019		Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

The results of Open Technologies’ operations as of and after the date of acquisition have been included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

The acquisitions of Laser Control Systems, Photocore AG, Lanmark and Open Technologies constitute business combinations as defined by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The purchase price allocations below represent our final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for such acquisitions. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, certain refinements were booked for the Open Technologies acquisition as part of the finalization process, which included a reduction of $2.6 million to the valuation of the customer relationship intangible and the recognition of a deferred tax liability of $1.9 million. Goodwill increased $4.5 million as result of these changes in the finalization process.

Following is a summary of our allocations of the purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of each acquisition:

	Laser Control Systems			Photocore AG		Lanmark			Open Technologies (2)

The goodwill for the Laser Control Systems, Lanmark and Open Technologies acquisitions has been allocated to the Emerging Verticals reporting segment. The goodwill for the Photocore AG acquisition has been allocated to the Construction BIM reporting segment.

Acquisition and integration costs are not included as components of consideration transferred, but are recorded as expense in the period in which such costs are incurred. To date, we have incurred approximately $0.8 million in acquisition and integration costs for the Laser Control Systems, Photocore AG, Lanmark and Open Technologies acquisitions. Pro forma financial results for Laser Control Systems, Photocore AG, Lanmark and Open Technologies have not been presented because the effects of these transactions, individually and in the aggregate, were not material to our consolidated financial results.

Subsequent Event

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 15, 2019, our Board of Directors appointed Allen Muhich as our Chief Financial Officer, effective July 26, 2019, to succeed Robert Seidel, who will cease serving as our Chief Financial Officer effective July 25, 2019 but will continue as our employee for a transition period. Mr. Muhich will also serve as our principal accounting officer, effective July 26, 2019. In connection with his employment, on July 15, 2019, Mr. Muhich accepted a written offer letter from us (the “Offer Letter”) that provides for the following initial compensation:

• Base salary - An annual base salary of $371,000.

• Signing bonus - Mr. Muhich will receive a one-time signing bonus equal to $200,000 payable in a lump sum in cash within 30 days following July 26, 2019. Mr. Muhich will be required to repay the signing bonus if, prior to July 26, 2021: (i) he voluntarily terminates his employment with us or (ii) his employment is terminated by us for “cause” (as defined in the Offer Letter).

• Sign-on equity grant - Mr. Muhich will be granted a one-time sign-on restricted stock unit award on July 26, 2019 with a target value of $1 million. This equity grant will be comprised of a combination of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units, in a ratio of 50% and 50%, respectively. One-third of the time-based restricted stock units will vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The performance-based restricted stock units will be earned based on how our total shareholder return, or TSR, compares to the TSR of the Russell 2000 Growth Index during the performance period from July 26, 2019 to July 26, 2022 (the “Relative TSR”). If our Relative TSR during the performance period is (i) at the 55% percentile, 100% of the target performance-based restricted stock units awarded will be earned and will vest; (ii) at or above the 80th percentile, 200% of the target performance-based restricted stock units awarded will be earned and will vest, provided that if our TSR for the performance period is negative, the maximum percentage that may be earned is 100%; (iii) at the 25th percentile, 25% of the target performance-based restricted stock units awarded will be earned and will vest; and (iv) below the 25th percentile, no performance-based restricted stock units will be earned. The percentage of performance-based restricted stock units that are earned will be interpolated if Relative TSR is between the 25th and 80th percentiles during the performance period.

• Relocation expenses - Mr. Muhich is entitled to receive relocation assistance in the form of reimbursement for real estate agents’ commission (capped at 7%) and customary, non-recurring home sale closing costs, subject to an aggregate cap of $50,000. In the event Mr. Muhich voluntarily terminates his employment with us prior to the 12-month anniversary of the date of his relocation, he will be required to repay a prorated portion of all relocation expenses incurred, including all Company tax liabilities.

• Transition to short-term incentive plan - Mr. Muhich will be eligible to receive a target cash bonus of 65% of his base salary, pro-rated for the number of days he is employed by us during 2019, provided that he remains employed by us on December 31, 2019 and conditioned upon his achievement of certain performance goals for 2019 established by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) and accepted by Mr. Muhich.

• Short-term incentive plan - Mr. Muhich will be eligible to participate in our short-term incentive plan beginning in 2020, with an initial target payout of at least 65% of his base salary conditioned upon our achievement of the performance goals established by the Compensation Committee.

• Long-term incentive plan - Mr. Muhich will be eligible to receive annual grants under our long-term incentive plan beginning in 2020, with a target value of at least $600,000. Such grants are expected to be awarded in a combination of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units, in ratio of 50% and 50%, respectively.

Pursuant to the Offer Letter, in the event that Mr. Muhich is terminated without cause, he will be eligible to receive severance benefits as a participant under our Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan is described in our 2019 proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2019.

Principles of Consolidation (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Consolidation Policy

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FARO Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Foreign Currency Translations Policy

The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net (loss) income.

Basis of Accounting Policy

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 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 condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring accruals and adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Use of Estimates Policy

Preparing financial statements 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Impact of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Policy

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements to enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, was issued by the FASB in July 2018 and allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment transition method of adoption. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. We adopted ASU 2016-02 effective as of January 1, 2019 utilizing the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method of adoption, which resulted in the recognition on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 of $18.1 million of right-of-use assets for operating leases, $19.1 million of lease liability for operating leases, $0.9 million of property and equipment, net for finance leases and $0.9 million of lease liability for finance leases under which we function as a lessee. We elected certain practical expedients available under the transition provisions to (i) allow aggregation of non-lease components with the related lease components when evaluating accounting treatment, (ii) apply the modified retrospective adoption method, utilizing the simplified transition option, which allows us to continue to apply the legacy guidance in FASB ASC Topic 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption, and (iii) use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering our options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of our right-of-use assets. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 also required us to include any initial direct costs, which are incremental costs that would not have been incurred had the lease not been obtained, in the right-of-use assets. The recognition of these costs in connection with our adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which is intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the current guidance, performance of Step 2 requires us to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by following procedures that would be required to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the new guidance, we will perform our goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value up to the amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it fails the qualitative assessment. As a result, all reporting units will be subject to the same impairment assessment. We will still have the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 becomes effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests after January 1, 2017. The amendments in this ASU will be applied on a prospective basis. Disclosure of the nature and reason for the change in accounting principle is required upon transition. This disclosure is required in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when we initially adopt the amendments in this ASU. We plan to adopt this guidance for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inventory Policy

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. We have three principal categories of inventory: 1) manufactured product to be sold; 2) sales demonstration inventory - completed product used to support our sales force for demonstrations and held for sale; and 3) service inventory - completed product and parts used to support our service department and held for sale. Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Sales demonstration inventory is held by our sales representatives for up to three years, at which time it would be refurbished and transferred to finished goods as used equipment, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We expect these refurbished units to remain in finished goods inventory and sold within 12 months at prices that produce reduced gross margins. Service inventory is used to provide a temporary replacement product to a customer covered by a premium warranty when the customer’s unit requires service or repair and as training equipment. Service inventory is available for sale; however, management does not expect service inventory to be sold within 12 months and, as such, classifies this inventory as a long-term asset. Service inventory that we utilize for training or repairs and which we deem as no longer available for sale is transferred to fixed assets at the lower of cost or net realizable value and depreciated over its remaining life, typically three years.

Liabilities:
Contingent consideration (1)	$	—	$	—	$	5,531
Total	$	—	$	—	$	5,531

(1)

Contingent consideration liability represents arrangements to pay the former owners of certain companies we acquired based on the former owners attaining future product release milestones. We use a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities. These probability weightings are developed internally and assessed on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2019, $2.8 million of these arrangements are reported in Accrued liabilities and $2.1 million are reported in Other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2018, $3.4 million of these arrangements were reported in Accrued liabilities and $2.1 million were reported in Other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining undiscounted maximum payment under these arrangements was $5.2 million as of June 30, 2019. The change in the fair value of the contingent consideration from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 was primarily related to our payment of $0.3 million as part of these arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2019, as well as changes in our estimates regarding the probability that the former owners will attain certain product release milestones.
