Explanatory Note
On February 11, 2019, Avaya Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) issued an earnings release announcing its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2019. A copy of the earnings release was furnished with a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 11, 2019 (the “Original Form 8-K”). This amendment to Original Form 8-K (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed solely to correct an inadvertent error in the earnings release, as described below.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 8-K that furnished as Exhibit 99.1 thereto the Company’s February 11, 2019 press release announcing results for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 ended December 31, 2018 (the “Original Earnings Release”). Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 1 is an updated final page to the press release announcing results for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 ended December 31, 2018 (“Updated Reconciliation”) which corrects an inadvertent error reported in the Original Earnings Release within the Company’s “Reconciliation of ASC 606 to ASC 605 GAAP Results.”  In the Original Earnings Release, the Company included a reconciliation of GAAP Product Revenue as calculated under ASC 606, the new revenue recognition standard, to Product revenue as calculated under the old standard, ASC 605. The Company inadvertently reported the ASC 606 impact to Products revenue as $22 million, while the correct amount was $30 million. This error also caused Gross Profit and Operating Income calculated under the old standard to be overstated by the same amount. This error only impacted the amount previously reported as Products revenue under ASC 605 and did not impact the Company’s GAAP results under ASC 606 or the guidance included in the Original Earnings Release. The Updated Reconciliation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is available within the Original Earnings Release and the CFO Commentary on First Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results on the Company’s investor relations website at https://investors.avaya.com.

This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
