INFINERA CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Infinera Corporation (the “Company”) prepared its interim condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2020.

The Company has made certain estimates, assumptions and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, employee benefit and pension plans, inventory valuation, accrued warranty, operating and financing lease liabilities, and accounting for income taxes. Other less significant estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management include allowances for sales returns, allowances for doubtful accounts, useful life of intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment. Management believes that the estimates and judgments upon which they rely are reasonable based upon information available to them at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. The Company expects uncertainties around its key accounting estimates to continue to evolve depending on the duration and degree of impact associated with the recent outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”). These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary to provide a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2020.

To date, a few of the Company’s customers have accounted for a significant portion of its revenue. For the three months ended March 27, 2021, one customer accounted for 10% of the Company's total revenue. The same customer accounted for 11% of the Company's total revenue for the three months ended March 28, 2020.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies for the three months ended March 27, 2021 compared to those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2020.

2.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes" (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its simplification initiative. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions from Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), including (i) the exception to the incremental approach for intra period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items such as discontinued operations or other comprehensive income; (ii) the exception to accounting for outside basis differences of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries; and (iii) the exception to limit tax benefit recognized in interim period in cases when the year-to-date losses exceeds anticipated losses. ASU 2019-12 also simplifies U.S. GAAP in several other areas of ASC 740 such as (i) franchise taxes and other taxes partially based on income; (ii) step-up in tax basis goodwill considered part of a business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized or should be considered a separate transaction; (iii) separate financial statements of entities not subject to tax; and (iv) interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal

years) beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of 2021 and the impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)" ("ASU 2020-06"). The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This update removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. This update also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected not to early adopt ASU 2020-06. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 would have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 (Topic 848), "Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. The standard was effective upon issuance and may generally be applied through December 31, 2022 to any new or amended contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR. The Company will apply the amendments when its relevant contracts are modified upon transition to alternative reference rates.

3. Leases

The Company has operating leases for real estate and automobiles. The operating lease expense for the three months ended March 27, 2021 was $7.3 million (including $2.0 million of rent expense due to restructuring resulting in abandonment of certain lease facilities).

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligation

The Company’s remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied, consisting of deferred revenue and backlog. The Company’s backlog represents purchase orders received from customers for future product shipments and services. The Company’s backlog is subject to future events that could cause the amount or timing of the related revenue to change, and, in certain cases, may be canceled without penalty. Orders in backlog may be fulfilled several quarters following receipt or may relate to multi-year support service obligations.

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) pursuant to contracts that are not subject to cancellation without penalty at the end of the reporting period (in thousands):


	Remainder of 2021		2022		2023		2024		2025		Thereafter		Total
Revenue expected to be recognized in the future as of March 27, 2021	$	454,393	$	60,539	$	39,260	$	11,552	$	2,708	$	2,119	$	570,571

5. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables represent the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):


	As of March 27, 2021				As of December 26, 2020
	Fair Value Measured Using				Fair Value Measured Using
	Level 1		Level 2		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets (Liabilities)
Foreign currency exchange forward contracts	$	—	$	(151)	$	(151)	$	—	$	(72)	$	(72)

During the three months ended March 27, 2021, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of each of March 27, 2021 and December 26, 2020, none of the Company’s existing assets or liabilities were classified as Level 3.

The Company classifies certain facilities-related charges within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and applies fair value accounting on a nonrecurring basis when impairment indicators exist or upon the existence of observable fair values. The fair values are classified as Level 3 measurements due to the significance of unobservable inputs. This analysis requires management to make assumptions and estimates regarding industry and economic factors, future operating results and discount rates.

The Company measures goodwill and intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are identifiable events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse impact on the fair value of these assets. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed an analysis of impairment indicators of these assets and noted no adverse impact to their fair values as of March 27, 2021.

Facilities-related Charges

In connection with the 2018 Restructuring Plan (as defined in Note 9, “Restructuring and Related Costs” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), for the three months ended March 27, 2021, the Company calculated the fair value of $2.0 million, in facilities-related charges based on estimated future discounted cash flows and classified the fair value as a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs. These inputs included the amount and timing of estimated sublease rental receipts that the Company could reasonably obtain over the remaining lease term at the discount rate.

Cash

As of March 27, 2021, the Company had $234.0 million of cash, including $98.7 million of cash held by its foreign subsidiaries.

As of December 26, 2020, the Company had $298.0 million of cash, including $87.4 million of cash held by its foreign subsidiaries. The Company's cash held by its foreign subsidiaries is used for operational and investing activities in those locations, and the Company does not currently have the need or the intent to repatriate those funds to the United States.

6. Derivative Instruments

Foreign Currency Exchange Forward Contracts

The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, has international sales, cost of sales, and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, and carries foreign-currency-denominated account balances, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company’s primary foreign currency risk management objective is to protect the U.S. dollar value of future cash flows and minimize the volatility of reported earnings. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts, which are primarily short term in nature.

Historically, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuation in foreign exchange rates that arise from its Euro and British pound denominated account balances. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the underlying foreign currency denominated account balances, and therefore do not subject the Company to material balance sheet risk.

As of March 27, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company posted collateral of $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on its derivative instruments to cover potential credit risk exposure. This amount is classified as other long-term restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For the three months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, the before-tax effect of the foreign currency exchange forward contracts was a net gain of $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, included in other gain (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In each of these periods, the impact of the gross gains and losses was offset by foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the underlying foreign currency denominated amounts.

As of March 27, 2021, the Company did not designate foreign currency exchange forward contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These contracts were entered into with one institution with high credit quality and the Company consistently monitors the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

The fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets was as follows (in thousands):


	As of March 27, 2021				As of December 26, 2020
	Gross Notional(1)		Prepaid expenses and other current assets		Other Accrued Liabilities		Gross Notional(1)		Other Accrued Liabilities
Foreign currency exchange forward contracts
Related to Euro denominated monetary balances	$	11,341	$	6	$	—	$	23,605	$	(59)
Related to British Pound denominated monetary balances	$	19,159	$	—	(157)		4,868		(13)
	$	30,500	$	6	$	(157)	$	28,473	$	(72)

(1)Represents the face amounts of forward contracts that were outstanding as of the end of the period noted.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

The Company sells certain designated trade account receivables based on factoring arrangements with well-established factoring companies. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangements, the Company accounts for these transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 860, "Transfers and Servicing". The Company's factor purchases trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis and without any further obligations. Trade accounts receivables balances sold are removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheets and cash received is reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow. The difference between the fair value of the Company's trade receivables and the proceeds received is recorded as interest expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. For both the three months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, the Company's recognized factoring related interest expense was approximately $0.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, the Company's gross amount of trade accounts receivables sold was approximately $31.0 million and $26.5 million, respectively.

7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired.

The following table presents details of the Company’s goodwill during the three months ended March 27, 2021 (in thousands):


Balance as of December 26, 2020	$	273,426
Foreign currency translation adjustments	(8,210)
Balance as of March 27, 2021	$	265,216

The gross carrying amount of goodwill may change due to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations as a portion of these assets are denominated in foreign currency. To date, the Company has not recognized any impairment losses on goodwill.

Intangible Assets

The following tables present details of the Company’s intangible assets as of March 27, 2021 and December 26, 2020 (in thousands, except for weighted average data):


	March 27, 2021
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life (In Years)
Intangible assets with finite lives:
Trade names	$	1,000	$	(1,000)	$	—	—
Customer relationships and backlog	159,955		(93,590)		66,365		4.7

Total intangible assets with finite lives	$	355,383	$	(230,501)	$	124,882

The gross carrying amount of intangible assets and the related amortization expense of intangible assets may change due to the effects of foreign currency fluctuations as a portion of these assets are denominated in foreign currency. Amortization expense was $9.0 million and $13.1 million for the three months ended March 27, 2021 and March 28, 2020, respectively.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Amortization expenses are recorded to the appropriate cost and expense categories.

The following table summarizes the Company’s estimated future amortization expense of intangible assets with finite lives as of March 27, 2021 (in thousands):


			Fiscal Years
	Total		Remainder of 2021		2022		2023		2024		2025		Thereafter
Total future amortization expense	$	115,164	$	26,888	$	33,284	$	27,215	$	11,983	$	9,025	$	6,769
