NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
  
Note 1 – Basis of presentation  
  
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 22, 2022 (the "Form 10-K"). In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to state fairly our financial position at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and our statement of stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Gain on Sale of Assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a gain of $33.6 million from the sale of approximately 75-acres of land in Williamson County, Texas and two office buildings in Aachen, Germany. The buildings in Germany were previously used for certain research and development activities that have been relocated to other research and development locations. The disposal gain is presented as “Gain on sale of assets” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2021-08—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. We early adopted the standard on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this accounting standard update did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-10- Government Assistance, to increase transparency of government assistance including the disclosure of (1) the types of assistance, (2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and (3) the effect of the assistance on an entity’s financial statements. ASU 2021-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our annual financial statement disclosures.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations. The amendments in Update 2022-04 require that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. The amendments in this Update do not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our annual financial statement disclosures.

Although there are several other accounting pronouncements recently issued by the FASB, we do not expect the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements to have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Form 10-K.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. The number of common share equivalents, which includes restricted stock units ("RSUs"), is computed using the treasury stock method. 

The reconciliation of the denominators used to calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Shares issuable upon vesting of RSU awards of 1,048,000 shares and 143,000 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 400,000 shares and 123,000 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were excluded in the computations of diluted EPS because the effect of including the stock awards would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 2 - Revenue

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of the promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of our products or services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Disaggregation of Revenues

We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers based on the timing of transfer of goods or services to customers (point-in-time or over time), geographic region based on the billing location of the customer and customer industry grouping.

Total net sales based on the timing of transfer of goods or services to customers and geographic region are as follows:

The industry grouping used to disaggregate net sales is determined at the customer account level. Accounts assigned to one of our three industry-specific groupings are either designated as Semiconductor and Electronics, Transportation, or Aerospace, Defense and Government. We are able to leverage the investments in these areas to also serve a broad base of diverse customers in the other industries we serve, which are included in our Portfolio grouping. Our recent acquisitions described in Note 16 are presented within the "Transportation" industry grouping below.

Information about Contract Balances

Amounts billed in advance of services being provided are typically accounted for as deferred revenue. Nearly all of our deferred revenue balance is related to extended hardware and software maintenance contracts. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although payment is typically due within 30 to 90 days of contract inception. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of our invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing our products and services, not to receive financing from our customers, such as invoicing at the beginning of a subscription term with a portion of the revenue recognized ratably over the contract period, or to provide customers with financing, such as multi-year on-premises licenses that are invoiced annually with revenue recognized upfront.

Changes in deferred revenue, current and non-current, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were as follows:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods (for example, due to changes in transaction price) was not material. Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of amounts billed are recorded as unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables which are anticipated to be invoiced in the next twelve months are included in "Other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheet. Based on the nature of our contracts with customers, we do not typically recognize unbilled receivables related to revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the amounts recorded that were related to unbilled receivables were not material.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

Revenue expected to be recognized in any future period related to remaining performance obligations, excluding revenue pertaining to contracts that have an original expected duration of one year or less and contracts where revenue is recognized as invoiced, was approximately $94 million as of September 30, 2022. Because we typically invoice customers at contract inception, this amount is included in our current and non-current deferred revenue balances and primarily relates to multi-year payments for hardware service and software service offerings. As of September 30, 2022, we expect to recognize approximately 12% of the revenue related to these unsatisfied performance obligations during the remainder of 2022, 42% during 2023, and 46% thereafter.

Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Capitalized incremental costs related to initial contracts and renewals are amortized over the same period because the commissions paid on both the initial contract and renewals are commensurate with one another. Total capitalized costs to

obtain a contract were not material during the periods presented and are included in other long-term assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 3 – Investments

Equity-Method Investments

The carrying value of our equity method investments was $28 million and $32 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net sales to our equity-method investees were approximately $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, net sales to our equity-method investees were approximately $4.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, purchases from our equity-method investees were not material.

We recorded a $3.5 million impairment loss related to an equity-method investment during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our proportionate share of the income/(loss) from equity-method investments is included within "Other expense". Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
        
Note 4 – Fair value measurements 

We define fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market that market participants may use when pricing the asset or liability.   
We follow a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value measurement is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three values of the fair value hierarchy are the following:   
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities   
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly   
Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data   
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
