1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Background

CommScope Holding Company, Inc., along with its direct and indirect subsidiaries (CommScope or the Company), is a global provider of essential infrastructure solutions for wireless, business enterprise and residential broadband networks. The Company’s solutions and services for wired and wireless networks enable high-bandwidth data, video and voice applications. CommScope’s global position is built upon innovative technology, broad solution offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions and global manufacturing and distribution scale.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the 2013 Annual Report). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2014, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires an entity to net its liability for uncertain tax positions as a reduction to deferred tax balances related to net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The provisions of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On October 4, 2013, the Company effected a 3-for-1 stock split of its common stock. All share and per share numbers have been revised to reflect the stock split.

Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions

Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for approximately 11% and 12% of the Company’s total net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the Enterprise segment. Other than Anixter, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Accounts receivable from Anixter represented approximately 12% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014. Other than Anixter, no other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was 65.2% owned by funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group (Carlyle). The Company paid $0.8 million of the annual management and oversight fee to Carlyle in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In October 2013, the Company paid Carlyle approximately $20.2 million to terminate the management agreement.

Product Warranties

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over periods ranging from one to twenty-five years from the date of sale, depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty claims as cost of sales based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales and specifically-identified warranty issues. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and revises its estimates, as appropriate, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that revisions may be necessary. Such revisions may be material.

The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in other accrued liabilities:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Product warranty accrual, beginning of period	$	24,838		$	26,005
Provision for warranty claims		2,269			960
Warranty claims paid		(4,169	)		(1,640	)
Product warranty accrual, end of period	$	22,938		$	25,325

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had commitments of $20.8 million to purchase metals that are expected to be consumed in normal production by September 2014. In the aggregate, these commitments were at prices approximately 8% above market prices as of March 31, 2014.

Asset Impairment

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at their estimated fair value. There were no impairments identified during the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company obtained new market data regarding a facility which is being marketed for sale. Based on this data, the Company recorded a pretax asset impairment charge of $3.6 million which was recognized within the Wireless segment. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company concluded that certain production equipment would no longer be utilized and consequently recorded pretax asset impairment charges of $2.0 million within the Wireless segment.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate of 36.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable, increases in valuation allowances on certain tax attributes, the provision for state income taxes and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. These items were partially offset by benefits related to uncertain tax positions for which the statutes had lapsed and the $5.4 million pretax reduction in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable, which is not subject to tax.

The effective income tax rate of 40.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was higher than the statutory rate and did not reflect benefits for losses in certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 included a benefit for 2012 research and development tax credits as a result of legislation enacted early in 2013. This benefit was offset by additional expense related to uncertain tax positions and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate was comparable to the statutory rate of 35%.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding equity-based awards such as stock options and restricted stock units. Certain outstanding equity-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would not have had a dilutive effect (0.4 million shares and 0.7 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively). The following table presents the basis for the earnings per share computations:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Numerator:
Net income for basic and diluted earnings per share	$	64,487	$	15,900
Denominator:
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		185,942		154,881
Dilutive effect of equity-based awards		4,980		1,763
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		190,922		156,644

2. ACQUISITIONS

iTRACS Corporation

In March 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of iTRACS Corporation (iTRACS) for approximately $34.0 million in cash. In March 2014, the Company reached an agreement with the former owners of iTRACS to adjust the purchase price by $4.7 million and that amount was received by the Company in April 2014. iTRACS develops and markets enterprise-class data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solutions and is reported within the Enterprise segment. iTRACS’ sales during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were not material. The allocation of the purchase price, based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is as follows (in millions):

Current assets	$	1.7
Noncurrent assets, excluding intangible assets		0.7
Other intangible assets		13.1
Goodwill		15.1
Less: Liabilities assumed		(1.3	)
Net acquisition cost	$	29.3

The goodwill arising from the purchase price allocation of the iTRACS acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Redwood Systems, Inc.

In July 2013, the Company acquired Redwood Systems, Inc. (Redwood), a provider of LED lighting solutions and integrated sensor networks for data centers and buildings. Redwood was acquired for an initial payment of $9.8 million and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $12.4 million as of the acquisition date. The Company may be required to pay up to an additional $37.25 million of consideration if certain net sales targets of up to $55.0 million are met over various periods through July 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was reduced to $7.7 million (see Note 7). In addition, there are potential retention payments for employees of Redwood of up to $11.75 million based on the same net sales targets as the contingent consideration. Net sales of Redwood products and services were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and are reported in the Enterprise segment. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, based on estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is as follows (in millions):

Current assets	$	2.6
Deferred taxes		7.3
Other intangible assets		9.0
Goodwill		4.2
Other noncurrent assets		0.8
Less: Liabilities assumed		(1.7	)
Net acquisition cost	$	22.2

The goodwill arising from the preliminary purchase price allocation of the Redwood acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company is still finalizing the valuation of the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and as additional information is obtained, adjustments may be made to the preliminary purchase price allocation.

3. GOODWILL

The following table presents goodwill by reportable segment (in millions):

	Wireless			Enterprise			Broadband			Total

Equity Method Investments

The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting for investments in entities where it does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company owns 2.2 million shares of Hydrogenics Corporation (Hydrogenics), a publicly traded company that supplies hydrogen generators and hydrogen-based power modules and fuel cells for various uses. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s ownership interest was 24.3% and 24.9%, respectively, and the carrying value of the investment was $2.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Equity method investments are recorded in other noncurrent assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company’s share of earnings and losses as well as any impairment of its equity method investments are recorded in other expense, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s share of losses in its equity method investments was $0.6 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid $2.2 million of its senior secured term loans. No portion of the senior secured term loans was reflected as a current portion of long-term debt as of March 31, 2014 related to the potentially required excess cash flow payment because the amount that may be payable in 2015, if any, cannot currently be reliably estimated. There was no excess cash flow payment required in 2014 related to 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $15.0 million and repaid $15.0 million under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had availability of approximately $345.0 million under the asset-based revolving credit facility, after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit.

Other Matters

The Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $1,061 million, or 22%, of total assets and approximately $312 million, or 9%, of total liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and accounted for approximately $320 million, or 34% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $1,077 million, or 23%, of total assets and approximately $315 million, or 9%, of total liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $290 million, or 36%, of net sales. All amounts presented exclude intercompany balances.

The weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount, was 6.73% and 6.89% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

6. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses forward contracts to hedge a portion of its exposure to balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of various subsidiaries in order to mitigate the impact of changes in exchange rates. At March 31, 2014, the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities ranging from one to six months with an aggregate notional value of $309 million (based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2014). Unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in other expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on these balances. These instruments are not held for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts are not designated as hedges for hedge accounting and are marked to market each period through earnings. The following table presents the balance sheet location and fair value of the Company’s derivatives:

		Fair Value of Asset (Liability)
	Balance Sheet Location	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Foreign currency contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	2,055		$	2,738
Foreign currency contracts	Other accrued liabilities		(2,399	)		(662	)
Total derivatives not designated as hedging instruments		$	(344	)	$	2,076

The pretax impact of the foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income is as follows:

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts	Location of Gain (Loss)	Gain (Loss) Recognized
Three Months Ended March 31, 2014	Other expense, net	$	(3,032	)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2013	Other expense, net	$	(2,423	)

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, measurements using significant other observable inputs fall within Level 2, and measurements using significant unobservable inputs fall within Level 3.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, debt instruments, foreign currency contracts and contingent consideration payable. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were considered representative of their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. The fair value of the Company’s equity method investment is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments and foreign currency contracts were based on indicative quotes. The fair value of the contingent consideration payable was based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis.

(In thousands, unless otherwise noted)

The carrying amounts, estimated fair values and valuation input levels of the Company’s equity method investment, foreign currency contracts, senior notes, senior secured term loans, senior PIK toggle notes and contingent consideration payable as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are as follows:

	March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Valuation Inputs
Assets:
Equity method investment	$	2,541	$	59,593	$	3,112	$	41,879	Level 1
Foreign currency contracts		2,055		2,055		2,738		2,738	Level 2
Liabilities:
8.25% senior notes		1,100,000		1,190,750		1,100,000		1,205,280	Level 2
Senior secured term loans, at par		870,625		871,713		872,813		874,994	Level 2
Senior PIK toggle notes		550,000		581,625		550,000		572,000	Level 2
Foreign currency contracts		2,399		2,399		662		662	Level 2
Contingent consideration		7,718		7,718		13,068		13,068	Level 3

Contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the expected payment due related to the acquisition of Redwood. The contingent consideration is payable in 2015 and could range from zero to $37.25 million. The amount to be paid is based on the achievement of sales targets of Redwood products with a maximum payout reached with $55.0 million of sales by July 31, 2015. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $12.4 million as of July 3, 2013, the Redwood acquisition date. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was reduced to $7.7 million based on the latest projections of Redwood’s performance, which resulted in a $5.4 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

These fair value estimates are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect these fair value estimates, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented.

8. SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company’s three reportable segments, which align with the manner in which the business is managed, are Wireless, Enterprise and Broadband.

The Wireless segment’s infrastructure solutions enable wireless carriers to deploy macro cell sites and small cell solutions to meet coverage and capacity requirements driven by increasing demand for mobile bandwidth. The macro cell site solutions can be found at wireless tower sites and include base station and microwave antennas, hybrid fiber-feeder and power cables, coaxial cables, connectors, power amplifiers and environmentally-secure cabinets for equipment, including fuel cell backup power. The small cell solutions are primarily composed of distributed antenna systems that extend and enhance cellular coverage and capacity in challenging network conditions such as stadiums, transportation systems and commercial buildings.

The Enterprise segment provides connectivity and network intelligence for data centers and commercial buildings. These solutions include optical fiber and twisted pair structured cabling applications, intelligent infrastructure software, network rack and cabinet enclosures, intelligent building sensors, advanced LED lighting control systems and network design services.

The Broadband segment consists of cable and communications equipment that support the multi-channel video, voice and high-speed data services provided by cable operators. The segment’s products include coaxial and fiber-optic cables, fiber-to-the-home equipment, amplifiers, splitters and taps, conduit and headend solutions for the network core.

9. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

The Company has initiated restructuring actions to realign and lower its cost structure primarily through workforce reductions and other cost reduction initiatives at various facilities including the cessation of manufacturing operations at the Joliet, Illinois and Statesville, North Carolina facilities. Much of the production capacity from these facilities is being shifted to other existing facilities or contract manufacturers. The Company’s net pretax restructuring charges, by segment, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
Wireless	$	1,238	$	1,120
Enterprise		214		453
Broadband		528		230
Total	$	1,980	$	1,803

The activity within the liability established for these restructuring actions, which is included in other accrued liabilities, was as follows:

	Employee- Related Costs			Lease Termination Costs			Fixed Asset Related Costs			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	17,173		$	1,399		$	—		$	18,572
Additional charge recorded		455			—			1,525			1,980
Cash paid		(4,918	)		(397	)		(1,525	)		(6,840	)
Foreign exchange and other non-cash items		13			1			—			14
Balance as of March 31, 2014	$	12,723		$	1,003		$	—		$	13,726

Employee-related costs include the expected severance costs and related benefits as well as any one-time severance benefits that are accrued over the remaining period employees are required to work in order to receive such benefits.

Lease termination costs relate to the cost of vacating leased facilities, net of anticipated sub-rental income.

Fixed asset related costs include costs to uninstall, pack, ship and reinstall manufacturing equipment and the costs to prepare the receiving facility to accommodate relocated equipment. These costs are expensed as incurred.

As a result of restructuring and consolidation actions, the Company owns unutilized real estate at various facilities in the U.S. and internationally. The Company is attempting to sell or lease this unutilized space. Additional impairment charges may be incurred related to these or other excess assets.

Since the inception of the initiatives in 2011, the Company has recognized restructuring charges of $65.8 million. The additional pretax costs related to completing restructuring actions initiated to date are expected to be approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million. Cash payments of approximately $14.0 million to $15.0 million are expected during the

(In thousands, unless otherwise noted)

remainder of 2014 with an additional $1.0 million to $2.0 million expected to be paid by the end of 2015. In addition to the charges described above, the Company expects to recognize a restructuring charge in the second half of 2014 related to the lease agreement at its Joliet, Illinois facility once operations cease at that facility and that charge may be material. However, the Company cannot currently estimate the charge. Additional restructuring actions may be taken and the resulting charges and cash requirements could be material.

The Company contributed $1.0 million to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the remainder of 2014, the Company anticipates making additional contributions of approximately $18.3 million to these plans.

11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Equity-Based Compensation Plans

As of March 31, 2014, $28.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock unit awards (RSUs) and share unit awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.9 years. Although the share unit awards may be settled in stock at the Company’s discretion, they have historically been settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards. In the first quarter of 2014, $4.7 million of share unit awards vested and were paid in cash. There were no significant capitalized equity-based compensation costs at March 31, 2014.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes the stock option activity (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Shares			Weighted Average Option Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

$2.96 to $23.00		11,268		6.6	$	7.26		7,669	$	6.30

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. Key input assumptions used in the model include the grant date fair value of common stock, exercise price of the award, the expected option term, stock price volatility, estimated marketability discount, the risk-free interest rate and the Company’s projected dividend yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in estimating the fair values of its stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards. Subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock option awards granted.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Expected option term (in years)		5.0			3.8

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs entitle the holder to shares of common stock generally after a three-year vesting period. The fair value of the awards is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price.

The following table summarizes the RSU activity (in thousands, except per share data):

	Restricted Stock Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Outstanding and non-vested as of December 31, 2013		5	$	14.99

Net sales

The year-over-year increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was due to substantially higher net sales in our Wireless segment and modestly higher net sales in our Enterprise segment. This sales growth was partially offset by lower net sales in our Broadband segment. As compared to the first quarter of 2013, net sales for the first quarter of 2014 were higher in most geographic regions, with particular strength in the U.S. and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. The increases in these regions were somewhat offset by lower net sales in the Central and Latin America (CALA) region. Foreign exchange rate changes had a slightly negative impact on net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same 2013 period. For further details by segment, see the section titled “Segment Results” below.

Gross profit (net sales less cost of sales)

The improvement in gross profit and gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period was primarily due to higher sales volumes, a favorable change in the mix of products sold and benefits from cost savings initiatives.

18

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the corresponding 2013 period due to increases in cash incentive compensation expense and incremental costs from iTRACS Corporation (iTRACS) and Redwood Systems, Inc. (Redwood) which were acquired in 2013. In addition, we incurred $0.9 million of transaction costs during the first quarter of 2014, related to the secondary offering of our common stock held by affiliates of The Carlyle Group (Carlyle). Offsetting these higher costs was a $5.4 million reduction of SG&A expense resulting from an adjustment to the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable related to the Redwood acquisition.

Research and development

Research and development (R&D) expense was higher for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase in R&D expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to incremental costs from iTRACS and Redwood. R&D expense as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was lower than the prior year period, mainly as a result of higher net sales. R&D activities generally relate to ensuring that our products are capable of meeting the developing technological needs of our customers, bringing new products to market and modifying existing products to better serve our customers.

Amortization of purchased intangible assets

The amortization of purchased intangible assets was $1.0 million higher in the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to additional amortization resulting from the acquisitions of iTRACS and Redwood in 2013.

Restructuring costs

We recognized net restructuring costs of $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The restructuring costs recognized in 2014 were primarily related to consolidating operations following the announced closings of manufacturing operations at two locations in the U.S. and continued efforts to realign and lower our cost structure. The 2013 restructuring costs were primarily related to workforce reductions and other cost reduction initiatives at various U.S. and international facilities.

We expect to incur additional pretax costs of $2.0 million to $3.0 million in 2014 related to completing actions announced to date. We expect to recognize an additional restructuring charge in the second half of 2014 related to the lease agreement at our Joliet, Illinois facility once operations cease at that facility and that charge may be material. However, we cannot currently estimate the charge. Additional restructuring actions may be identified and resulting charges and cash requirements could be material.

Asset impairments

We recognized impairment charges of $5.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to long-lived assets in the Wireless segment.

Net interest expense

We incurred net interest expense of $41.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $45.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2014 included $9.5 million of interest related to the 6.625%/7.375% senior payment-in-kind toggle notes (the senior PIK toggle notes) issued in May 2013. Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2013 included a $0.5 million write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount that resulted from amending our senior secured term loan facility primarily to lower the interest rate. Excluding the charges related to last year’s refinancing, net interest expense decreased in the current year quarter as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to a favorable shift to lower rate debt, slightly lower debt balances and interest savings resulting from the amendments to the senior secured term loan facility.

Our weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount, was 6.73% as of March 31, 2014, 6.89% as of December 31, 2013 and 6.92% as of March 31, 2013.

Other expense, net

Foreign exchange losses of $2.3 million were included in other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included our share of losses in our equity investments of $0.6 million compared to $0.9 million for the

19

three months ended March 31, 2013. Also included in other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was the write-off of one such equity investment of $0.8 million. Additionally, we incurred costs of $1.9 million that were included in net other expense for the first quarter of 2013 related to amending our senior secured term loan facility.

Income taxes

Our effective income tax rate of 36.9% for the first quarter of 2014 was higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses in certain jurisdictions where we did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable, increases in valuation allowances on certain tax attributes, the provision for state income taxes and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. These items were partially offset by benefits related to uncertain tax positions for which the statutes had lapsed and the $5.4 million pretax reduction in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable, which is not subject to tax.

Our effective income tax rate of 40.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was higher than the statutory rate and did not reflect benefits for losses in certain foreign jurisdictions where we did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 included a benefit for 2012 research and development tax credits as a result of legislation enacted early in 2013. This benefit was offset by additional expense related to uncertain tax positions and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate was comparable to the statutory rate of 35%.

We expect to continue to provide for U.S. taxes on a substantial portion of our current year foreign earnings in anticipation that such earnings will be repatriated to the U.S.

Wireless Segment

We provide merchant RF wireless network connectivity solutions and small cell distributed antenna systems (DAS) solutions. Our solutions, marketed primarily under the Andrew brand, enable wireless operators to deploy both macro cell sites and small cell DAS solutions to meet 2G, 3G and 4G cellular coverage and capacity requirements. Our macro cell site solutions can be found at wireless tower sites and on rooftops and include base station antennas, microwave antennas, hybrid fiber-feeder and power cables, coaxial cables, connectors, amplifiers, filters and backup power solutions. Our small cell DAS solutions are primarily composed of distributed antenna systems that allow wireless operators to increase spectral efficiency and thereby extend and enhance cellular coverage and capacity in challenging network conditions such as commercial buildings, urban areas, stadiums and transportation systems.

20

The Wireless segment experienced a substantial increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year primarily as a result of higher capital spending by U.S. wireless operators, including 4G deployments. The Wireless segment recorded higher sales in all major geographic regions except the CALA region in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. Foreign exchange rate changes had a negligible negative impact on Wireless segment net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.

We expect demand for our Wireless products to be positively affected by wireless coverage and capacity expansion in emerging markets and growth in mobile data services (including 4G deployments) in developed markets. Uncertainty in the global economy or a particular region may slow the growth or cause a decline in capital spending by wireless operators and negatively impact our net sales.

Wireless segment operating income increased $65.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to the higher level of net sales, with additional benefit from favorable mix of products sold and the benefit of cost reduction initiatives. These benefits were partially offset by higher cash incentive compensation expense. In addition, the Wireless segment recorded asset impairment charges of $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 and no such charges were recorded in 2014.

Enterprise Segment

We provide enterprise connectivity solutions for data centers and commercial buildings. Our offerings include voice, video, data and converged solutions that support mission-critical, high-bandwidth applications including storage area networks, streaming media, data backhaul, cloud applications and grid computing. These comprehensive solutions, sold primarily under the SYSTIMAX and Uniprise brands, include optical fiber and twisted pair structured cabling solutions, intelligent infrastructure software, network rack and cabinet enclosures, intelligent building sensors, advanced LED lighting control systems and network design services.

Enterprise segment net sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 in the U.S., CALA and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region as compared to the comparable prior year period. Enterprise segment net sales were essentially unchanged in the EMEA region for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. The iTRACS and Redwood acquisitions had an immaterial impact on sales in the first quarter of 2014. Foreign exchange rate changes had a negligible negative impact on Enterprise segment net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the comparable 2013 period.

We expect long-term demand for Enterprise products to be driven by global information technology and data center spending as the ongoing need for bandwidth and intelligence in the network continues to create demand for high-performance structured connectivity solutions in the enterprise market. Uncertain global economic conditions, an ongoing slowdown in commercial construction activity, uncertain levels of information technology spending and reductions in the levels of distributor inventories may negatively affect demand for our products.

The increase in Enterprise segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to higher net sales, a favorable shift in mix, the positive impact of cost reduction initiatives and a $5.4 million reduction in expense related to the adjustment of the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable from the Redwood acquisition. Excluding the positive impact of this adjustment to contingent consideration payable, iTRACS and Redwood decreased operating income for the first quarter of 2014 by $4.5 million, as investments are made to develop product offerings and integrate the acquired businesses.

Broadband Segment

We provide cable and communications products that support the multi-channel video, voice and high-speed data services provided by multi-system operators (MSOs). We are a global manufacturer of coaxial cable for hybrid fiber coaxial networks and a supplier of fiber optic cable for North American MSOs.

Broadband segment net sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period in the CALA and EMEA regions while net sales were essentially unchanged in the U.S. and the APAC region. Foreign exchange rate changes had a negligible negative impact on Broadband segment net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year period.

We expect demand for Broadband products to continue to be influenced by ongoing maintenance requirements of cable networks, cable providers’ competition with telecommunication service providers and activity in the residential construction market. Spending by our Broadband customers on maintaining and upgrading networks is expected to continue to be influenced by uncertain regional and global economic conditions.

21

The Broadband segment recorded a larger operating loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014 than the prior year period primarily due to the impact of lower net sales and incremental costs associated with the closure of our Statesville, North Carolina facility. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by benefits from cost reduction initiatives. We continue to evaluate alternatives to improve the performance of the Broadband segment. Future actions taken to improve performance could result in charges that may be material.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following table summarizes certain key measures of our liquidity and capital resources.

	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013			Dollar Change			% Change
	(dollars in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	305.2		$	346.3		$	(41.1	)		(11.9	)%
Working capital (1), excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of long-term debt		673.0			523.2			149.8			28.6
Availability under revolving credit facility		345.0			308.7			36.3			11.8
Long-term debt, including current portion		2,512.6			2,514.6			(2.0	)		(0.1	)
Total capitalization (2)		3,671.3			3,602.6			68.7			1.9
Long-term debt, including current portion, as a percentage of total capitalization		68.4	%		69.8	%

(1) Working capital consists of current assets of $1,547.0 million less current liabilities of $577.9 million as of March 31, 2014. Working capital consists of current assets of $1,453.4 million less current liabilities of $593.4 million as of December 31, 2013.

(2) Total capitalization includes long-term debt, including the current portion, and stockholders’ equity.

Our principal sources of liquidity on a short-term basis are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operations and availability under credit facilities. On a long-term basis, our potential sources of liquidity also include raising capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity. The primary uses of liquidity include funding working capital requirements (primarily inventory and accounts receivable, net of accounts payable and other accrued liabilities), debt service requirements (including voluntary debt payments), capital expenditures, acquisitions, payment of certain restructuring costs, and pension and other postretirement obligations.

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the first three months of 2014 was primarily driven by the use of cash to fund operations. The increase in working capital, excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of long-term debt is primarily due to the increase in the levels of accounts receivable resulting from higher net sales in the first quarter of 2014 as compared with the fourth quarter of 2013 and higher inventory expected to be needed to meet demand in the second and third quarters. The slight decrease in long-term debt as compared to December 31, 2013 was primarily the result of mandatory payments under our senior secured term loan facility. The net change in total capitalization during the first three months of 2014 primarily reflects current year earnings.

Cash Flow Overview

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013			Dollar Change
	(dollars in millions)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(35.5	)	$	(52.9	)	$	17.4
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(5.4	)	$	(37.9	)	$	32.5
Net cash generated by financing activities	$	0.9		$	95.2		$	(94.3	)

Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, $35.5 million of cash was used in operating activities compared to $52.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Less cash was used to fund operations during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to improved operating performance partially offset by higher working capital requirements. In particular, accounts receivable increased period over period as a result of higher net sales. This use of cash was partially offset by lower cash paid for interest, which reflects a favorable shift to lower rate debt and changes in the timing of certain interest payments.

22

We expect to generate net cash from operating activities during the remainder of 2014. The first quarter is generally the weakest cash generation quarter of the year.

Investing Activities

Investment in property, plant and equipment during the first quarter of 2014 was $6.7 million and primarily related to supporting improvements to manufacturing operations as well as investments in information technology (including internally developed software). We currently expect total capital expenditures of $40 million to $45 million in 2014.

During the first quarter of 2013, we paid $34.0 million related to the acquisition of iTRACS. We received $4.7 million in April 2014 related to the final determination of the iTRACS purchase price.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we made a required payment of $2.2 million under our senior secured term loans. We also borrowed and repaid $15.0 million under our $400 million revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, availability under our revolving credit facility was approximately $345.0 million, reflecting a borrowing base of $400.0 million reduced by $55.0 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. During the first quarter of 2014, we received proceeds of $2.0 million and recognized $1.5 million of excess tax benefits related to the exercise of stock options.

During the first quarter of 2013, we amended our senior secured term loan primarily to lower the interest rate. The amendment resulted in the repayment of $32.0 million to certain lenders who exited the senior secured term loan and the receipt of $32.0 million in proceeds from new lenders and existing lenders who increased their positions. We also borrowed $135.0 million and repaid $35.0 million under the revolving credit facility and repaid $2.5 million of our senior secured term loan during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Future Cash Needs

We expect that our primary future cash needs will be debt service, funding working capital requirements, capital expenditures, paying certain restructuring costs, tax payments (including the cost of repatriation), and funding pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. We paid $6.8 million of restructuring costs during the first three months of 2014 and expect to pay an additional $15.0 million to $17.0 million by 2015 related to restructuring actions that have been initiated. Any future restructuring actions would likely require additional cash expenditures and such requirements may be material. As of March 31, 2014, we have an unfunded obligation related to pension and other postretirement benefits of $36.6 million. We made contributions of $1.0 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and currently expect to make additional contributions of $18.3 million during the balance of 2014. These contributions include those required to comply with an agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. We expect that our noncurrent employee benefit liabilities will be funded from existing cash balances and cash flow from future operations. In addition to the $9.8 million we paid in July 2013 for the acquisition of Redwood, we may be required to pay up to an additional $49.0 million of additional consideration and retention payments in 2015 if certain net sales targets are met. We expect to pay the interest on the senior PIK toggle notes in cash during 2014. We may also pay existing debt or repurchase our remaining 8.25% senior notes or our senior PIK toggle notes, if market conditions are favorable and the applicable indenture permits such repayment or repurchase. We may also pursue additional strategic acquisition opportunities, which may impact our future cash requirements.

Although there are no financial maintenance covenants under the terms of our 8.25% senior notes and senior PIK toggle notes, there is a limitation, among other limitations, on certain future borrowings based on an adjusted leverage ratio or a fixed charge coverage ratio. See Part II, Item 7 of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of these limitations and ratios. These ratios are based on pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months, which is calculated as earnings ($68.0 million) before interest ($201.6 million, net), taxes ($83.5 million), depreciation ($53.2 million), amortization ($175.9 million), asset impairment charges ($39.9 million), net restructuring costs ($22.3 million), equity-based compensation ($15.3 million), other special items ($73.3 million) and adjustments to reflect the impact of cost reduction initiatives ($24.5 million) and acquisitions (a loss of $1.6 million) so that their impacts are fully reflected in the twelve-month period used in the calculation of the ratios. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2014, our pro forma adjusted EBITDA as measured pursuant to our notes indentures was $755.9 million. In addition to limitations under our notes indentures, our senior secured credit facilities contain customary negative covenants. We are currently in compliance with the covenants under our senior secured credit facilities.

As of March 31, 2014, approximately 73% of our cash and cash equivalents was held outside the United States. Income taxes have been provided on foreign earnings to repatriate substantially all of this cash. We do not anticipate significant incremental income tax expense related to repatriating existing cash balances. However, the cash tax requirements to repatriate existing funds may vary from year to year.

23

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and cash flows from operations, combined with availability under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our presently anticipated future cash needs. We currently hold 2.2 million shares of Hydrogenics Corporation and we may sell a substantial portion of that investment. We may, from time to time, increase borrowings under our revolving credit facility or issue securities, if market conditions are favorable, to meet our future cash needs or to reduce our borrowing costs.

Acquisitions

2. ACQUISITIONS

iTRACS Corporation

In March 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of iTRACS Corporation (iTRACS) for approximately $34.0 million in cash. In March 2014, the Company reached an agreement with the former owners of iTRACS to adjust the purchase price by $4.7 million and that amount was received by the Company in April 2014. iTRACS develops and markets enterprise-class data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solutions and is reported within the Enterprise segment. iTRACS’ sales during the three months ended March 31, 2014 were not material. The allocation of the purchase price, based on the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is as follows (in millions):

Current assets	$	1.7
Noncurrent assets, excluding intangible assets		0.7
Other intangible assets		13.1
Goodwill		15.1
Less: Liabilities assumed		(1.3	)
Net acquisition cost	$	29.3

The goodwill arising from the purchase price allocation of the iTRACS acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Redwood Systems, Inc.

In July 2013, the Company acquired Redwood Systems, Inc. (Redwood), a provider of LED lighting solutions and integrated sensor networks for data centers and buildings. Redwood was acquired for an initial payment of $9.8 million and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $12.4 million as of the acquisition date. The Company may be required to pay up to an additional $37.25 million of consideration if certain net sales targets of up to $55.0 million are met over various periods through July 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was reduced to $7.7 million (see Note 7). In addition, there are potential retention payments for employees of Redwood of up to $11.75 million based on the same net sales targets as the contingent consideration. Net sales of Redwood products and services were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and are reported in the Enterprise segment. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, based on estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is as follows (in millions):

Current assets	$	2.6
Deferred taxes		7.3
Other intangible assets		9.0
Goodwill		4.2
Other noncurrent assets		0.8
Less: Liabilities assumed		(1.7	)
Net acquisition cost	$	22.2

The goodwill arising from the preliminary purchase price allocation of the Redwood acquisition is believed to result from the company’s reputation in the marketplace and assembled workforce and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company is still finalizing the valuation of the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and as additional information is obtained, adjustments may be made to the preliminary purchase price allocation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Background and Basis of Presentation

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Background

CommScope Holding Company, Inc., along with its direct and indirect subsidiaries (CommScope or the Company), is a global provider of essential infrastructure solutions for wireless, business enterprise and residential broadband networks. The Company’s solutions and services for wired and wireless networks enable high-bandwidth data, video and voice applications. CommScope’s global position is built upon innovative technology, broad solution offerings, high-quality and cost-effective customer solutions and global manufacturing and distribution scale.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the 2013 Annual Report). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2014, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires an entity to net its liability for uncertain tax positions as a reduction to deferred tax balances related to net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The provisions of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On October 4, 2013, the Company effected a 3-for-1 stock split of its common stock. All share and per share numbers have been revised to reflect the stock split.

Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions

Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for approximately 11% and 12% of the Company’s total net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the Enterprise segment. Other than Anixter, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Accounts receivable from Anixter represented approximately 12% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014. Other than Anixter, no other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was 65.2% owned by funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group (Carlyle). The Company paid $0.8 million of the annual management and oversight fee to Carlyle in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In October 2013, the Company paid Carlyle approximately $20.2 million to terminate the management agreement.

Product Warranties

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over periods ranging from one to twenty-five years from the date of sale, depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty claims as cost of sales based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales and specifically-identified warranty issues. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and revises its estimates, as appropriate, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that revisions may be necessary. Such revisions may be material.

The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in other accrued liabilities:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Product warranty accrual, beginning of period	$	24,838		$	26,005
Provision for warranty claims		2,269			960
Warranty claims paid		(4,169	)		(1,640	)
Product warranty accrual, end of period	$	22,938		$	25,325

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had commitments of $20.8 million to purchase metals that are expected to be consumed in normal production by September 2014. In the aggregate, these commitments were at prices approximately 8% above market prices as of March 31, 2014.

Asset Impairment

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at their estimated fair value. There were no impairments identified during the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company obtained new market data regarding a facility which is being marketed for sale. Based on this data, the Company recorded a pretax asset impairment charge of $3.6 million which was recognized within the Wireless segment. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company concluded that certain production equipment would no longer be utilized and consequently recorded pretax asset impairment charges of $2.0 million within the Wireless segment.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate of 36.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable, increases in valuation allowances on certain tax attributes, the provision for state income taxes and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. These items were partially offset by benefits related to uncertain tax positions for which the statutes had lapsed and the $5.4 million pretax reduction in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable, which is not subject to tax.

The effective income tax rate of 40.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was higher than the statutory rate and did not reflect benefits for losses in certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 included a benefit for 2012 research and development tax credits as a result of legislation enacted early in 2013. This benefit was offset by additional expense related to uncertain tax positions and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate was comparable to the statutory rate of 35%.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding equity-based awards such as stock options and restricted stock units. Certain outstanding equity-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would not have had a dilutive effect (0.4 million shares and 0.7 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively). The following table presents the basis for the earnings per share computations:

Stockholders' Equity

11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Equity-Based Compensation Plans

As of March 31, 2014, $28.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock unit awards (RSUs) and share unit awards are expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.9 years. Although the share unit awards may be settled in stock at the Company’s discretion, they have historically been settled in cash and are accounted for as liability awards. In the first quarter of 2014, $4.7 million of share unit awards vested and were paid in cash. There were no significant capitalized equity-based compensation costs at March 31, 2014.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes the stock option activity (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Shares			Weighted Average Option Exercise Price Per Share		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. Key input assumptions used in the model include the grant date fair value of common stock, exercise price of the award, the expected option term, stock price volatility, estimated marketability discount, the risk-free interest rate and the Company’s projected dividend yield. The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in estimating the fair values of its stock options. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards. Subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock option awards granted.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Expected option term (in years)		5.0			3.8
Risk-free interest rate		1.5	%		0.4	%

Weighted average exercise price	$	23.00		$	11.11
Weighted average fair value at grant date	$	9.40		$	4.09

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs entitle the holder to shares of common stock generally after a three-year vesting period. The fair value of the awards is determined on the grant date based on the Company’s stock price.

The following table summarizes the RSU activity (in thousands, except per share data):

	Restricted Stock Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Outstanding and non-vested as of December 31, 2013		5	$	14.99

Share unit award expense of $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is included in equity-based compensation as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash used in operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, Cash Flows and Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the 2013 Annual Report). There were no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company reaffirms the use of estimates in the preparation of the financial statements as set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2014, the Company adopted new accounting guidance that requires an entity to net its liability for uncertain tax positions as a reduction to deferred tax balances related to net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses or tax credit carryforwards when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The provisions of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On October 4, 2013, the Company effected a 3-for-1 stock split of its common stock. All share and per share numbers have been revised to reflect the stock split.

Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions

Concentrations of Risk and Related Party Transactions

Net sales to Anixter International Inc. and its affiliates (Anixter) accounted for approximately 11% and 12% of the Company’s total net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sales to Anixter primarily originate within the Enterprise segment. Other than Anixter, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Accounts receivable from Anixter represented approximately 12% of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014. Other than Anixter, no other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable as of March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company was 65.2% owned by funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group (Carlyle). The Company paid $0.8 million of the annual management and oversight fee to Carlyle in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In October 2013, the Company paid Carlyle approximately $20.2 million to terminate the management agreement.

Product Warranties

Product Warranties

The Company recognizes a liability for the estimated claims that may be paid under its customer warranty agreements to remedy potential deficiencies of quality or performance of the Company’s products. These product warranties extend over periods ranging from one to twenty-five years from the date of sale, depending upon the product subject to the warranty. The Company records a provision for estimated future warranty claims as cost of sales based upon the historical relationship of warranty claims to sales and specifically-identified warranty issues. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and revises its estimates, as appropriate, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that revisions may be necessary. Such revisions may be material.

The following table summarizes the activity in the product warranty accrual, included in other accrued liabilities:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Product warranty accrual, beginning of period	$	24,838		$	26,005
Provision for warranty claims		2,269			960
Warranty claims paid		(4,169	)		(1,640	)
Product warranty accrual, end of period	$	22,938		$	25,325

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is either a plaintiff or a defendant in pending legal matters in the normal course of business. Management believes none of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition upon final disposition.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had commitments of $20.8 million to purchase metals that are expected to be consumed in normal production by September 2014. In the aggregate, these commitments were at prices approximately 8% above market prices as of March 31, 2014.

Asset Impairment

Asset Impairment

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable, based on the undiscounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and ultimate disposition of the assets. Assets identified as impaired are carried at their estimated fair value. There were no impairments identified during the three months ended March 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company obtained new market data regarding a facility which is being marketed for sale. Based on this data, the Company recorded a pretax impairment charge of $3.6 million which was recognized within the Wireless segment. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company concluded that certain production equipment would no longer be utilized and consequently recorded pretax impairment charges of $2.0 million within the Wireless segment.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate of 36.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was higher than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable, increases in valuation allowances on certain tax attributes, the provision for state income taxes and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. These items were partially offset by benefits related to uncertain tax positions for which the statutes had lapsed and the $5.4 million pretax reduction in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payable, which is not subject to tax.

The effective income tax rate of 40.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was higher than the statutory rate and did not reflect benefits for losses in certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company did not recognize tax benefits due to the likelihood of them not being realizable. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 included a benefit for 2012 research and development tax credits as a result of legislation enacted early in 2013. This benefit was offset by additional expense related to uncertain tax positions and certain tax costs associated with repatriation of foreign earnings. Excluding these items, the effective tax rate was comparable to the statutory rate of 35%.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding equity-based awards such as stock options and restricted stock units. Certain outstanding equity-based awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would not have had a dilutive effect (0.4 million shares and 0.7 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively). The following table presents the basis for the earnings per share computations:

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

6. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses forward contracts to hedge a portion of its exposure to balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of various subsidiaries in order to mitigate the impact of changes in exchange rates. At March 31, 2014, the Company had foreign exchange contracts with maturities ranging from one to six months with an aggregate notional value of $309 million (based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2014). Unrealized gains and losses resulting from these contracts are recognized in other expense, net and partially offset corresponding foreign exchange gains and losses on these balances. These instruments are not held for speculative or trading purposes. These contracts are not designated as hedges for hedge accounting and are marked to market each period through earnings. The following table presents the balance sheet location and fair value of the Company’s derivatives:

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid $2.2 million of its senior secured term loans. No portion of the senior secured term loans was reflected as a current portion of long-term debt as of March 31, 2014 related to the potentially required excess cash flow payment because the amount that may be payable in 2015, if any, cannot currently be reliably estimated. There was no excess cash flow payment required in 2014 related to 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company borrowed $15.0 million and repaid $15.0 million under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had availability of approximately $345.0 million under the asset-based revolving credit facility, after giving effect to outstanding letters of credit.

Other Matters

The Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $1,061 million, or 22%, of total assets and approximately $312 million, or 9%, of total liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and accounted for approximately $320 million, or 34% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the non-guarantor subsidiaries held approximately $1,077 million, or 23%, of total assets and approximately $315 million, or 9%, of total liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for approximately $290 million, or 36%, of net sales. All amounts presented exclude intercompany balances.

The weighted average effective interest rate on outstanding borrowings, including the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount, was 6.73% and 6.89% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Restructuring Costs

9. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

The Company has initiated restructuring actions to realign and lower its cost structure primarily through workforce reductions and other cost reduction initiatives at various facilities including the cessation of manufacturing operations at the Joliet, Illinois and Statesville, North Carolina facilities. Much of the production capacity from these facilities is being shifted to other existing facilities or contract manufacturers. The Company’s net pretax restructuring charges, by segment, were as follows:

Employee-related costs include the expected severance costs and related benefits as well as any one-time severance benefits that are accrued over the remaining period employees are required to work in order to receive such benefits.

Lease termination costs relate to the cost of vacating leased facilities, net of anticipated sub-rental income.

Fixed asset related costs include costs to uninstall, pack, ship and reinstall manufacturing equipment and the costs to prepare the receiving facility to accommodate relocated equipment. These costs are expensed as incurred.

As a result of restructuring and consolidation actions, the Company owns unutilized real estate at various facilities in the U.S. and internationally. The Company is attempting to sell or lease this unutilized space. Additional impairment charges may be incurred related to these or other excess assets.

Since the inception of the initiatives in 2011, the Company has recognized restructuring charges of $65.8 million. The additional pretax costs related to completing restructuring actions initiated to date are expected to be approximately $2.0 million to $3.0 million. Cash payments of approximately $14.0 million to $15.0 million are expected during the remainder of 2014 with an additional $1.0 million to $2.0 million expected to be paid by the end of 2015. In addition to the charges described above, the Company expects to recognize a restructuring charge in the second half of 2014 related to the lease agreement at its Joliet, Illinois facility once operations cease at that facility and that charge may be material. However, the Company cannot currently estimate the charge. Additional restructuring actions may be taken and the resulting charges and cash requirements could be material.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, measurements using significant other observable inputs fall within Level 2, and measurements using significant unobservable inputs fall within Level 3.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, debt instruments, foreign currency contracts and contingent consideration payable. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were considered representative of their fair values due to their short terms to maturity. The fair value of the Company’s equity method investment is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments and foreign currency contracts were based on indicative quotes. The fair value of the contingent consideration payable was based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis.

The carrying amounts, estimated fair values and valuation input levels of the Company’s equity method investment, foreign currency contracts, senior notes, senior secured term loans, senior PIK toggle notes and contingent consideration payable as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, are as follows:

	March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Valuation Inputs
Assets:
Equity method investment	$	2,541	$	59,593	$	3,112	$	41,879	Level 1
Foreign currency contracts		2,055		2,055		2,738		2,738	Level 2
Liabilities:
8.25% senior notes		1,100,000		1,190,750		1,100,000		1,205,280	Level 2
Senior secured term loans, at par		870,625		871,713		872,813		874,994	Level 2
Senior PIK toggle notes		550,000		581,625		550,000		572,000	Level 2
Foreign currency contracts		2,399		2,399		662		662	Level 2
Contingent consideration		7,718		7,718		13,068		13,068	Level 3

Contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the expected payment due related to the acquisition of Redwood. The contingent consideration is payable in 2015 and could range from zero to $37.25 million. The amount to be paid is based on the achievement of sales targets of Redwood products with a maximum payout reached with $55.0 million of sales by July 31, 2015. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $12.4 million as of July 3, 2013, the Redwood acquisition date. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was reduced to $7.7 million based on the latest projections of Redwood’s performance, which resulted in a $5.4 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

These fair value estimates are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect these fair value estimates, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented.

Segments and Geographic Information

8. SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company’s three reportable segments, which align with the manner in which the business is managed, are Wireless, Enterprise and Broadband.

The Wireless segment’s infrastructure solutions enable wireless carriers to deploy macro cell sites and small cell solutions to meet coverage and capacity requirements driven by increasing demand for mobile bandwidth. The macro cell site solutions can be found at wireless tower sites and include base station and microwave antennas, hybrid fiber-feeder and power cables, coaxial cables, connectors, power amplifiers and environmentally-secure cabinets for equipment, including fuel cell backup power. The small cell solutions are primarily composed of distributed antenna systems that extend and enhance cellular coverage and capacity in challenging network conditions such as stadiums, transportation systems and commercial buildings.

The Enterprise segment provides connectivity and network intelligence for data centers and commercial buildings. These solutions include optical fiber and twisted pair structured cabling applications, intelligent infrastructure software, network rack and cabinet enclosures, intelligent building sensors, advanced LED lighting control systems and network design services.

The Broadband segment consists of cable and communications equipment that support the multi-channel video, voice and high-speed data services provided by cable operators. The segment’s products include coaxial and fiber-optic cables, fiber-to-the-home equipment, amplifiers, splitters and taps, conduit and headend solutions for the network core.
