iROBOT CORPORATION
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Description of Business
iRobot Corporation ("iRobot" or the "Company") develops robotics and artificial intelligence technologies and applies these technologies in producing and marketing robots. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from product sales.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include those of iRobot and its subsidiaries, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. iRobot has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying unaudited financial data as of April 2, 2016, and for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The year-end balance sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2016.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company's statement of financial position as of April 2, 2016 and results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 have been made. The results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the operating results, comprehensive income and cash flows for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, sales returns, bad debts, warranty claims, inventory reserves, valuation of investments, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation instruments and income taxes. The Company bases these estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends, and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates.
Fiscal Year-End
The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Accordingly, the Company’s fiscal quarters end on the Saturday that falls closest to the last day of the third month of each quarter.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue from product sales and, to a lesser extent, government and commercial research and development contracts. The Company sells products directly to customers and indirectly through resellers and distributors. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of robots under the terms of the customer agreement upon transfer of title and risk of loss to the customer, net of estimated returns, provided that collection is determined to be reasonably assured and no significant obligations remain.

iROBOT CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

Beginning in the third quarter of 2015, with the introduction of the Company's first connected robot, each sale of a connected robot represents a multi-element arrangement containing the robot, an app and potential future unspecified software upgrades. Revenue is allocated to the deliverables based on their relative selling prices which have been determined using best estimate of selling price (BESP), as the Company has not been able to establish vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) or obtain relevant third party evidence (TPE). Revenue allocated to the app and unspecified software upgrades is then deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to provide the upgrades over the estimated life of the robot.
Sales to domestic and Canadian resellers of home robots are typically subject to agreements allowing for limited rights of return, rebates and price protection. The Company also provides limited rights of returns for direct-to-consumer sales generated through its on-line stores. Accordingly, the Company reduces revenue for its estimates of liabilities for these rights of return, rebates and price protection at the time the related sale is recorded. These estimates for rights of return are directly based on specific terms and conditions included in the reseller agreements, historical returns experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. In the case of new product introductions, the estimates for returns applied to the new products are based upon the estimates for the most similar predecessor products until such time that the Company has enough actual returns experience for the new products, which is typically two holiday return cycles. At that time, the Company incorporates that data into the development of returns estimates for the new products. The Company updates its analysis of returns on a quarterly basis. If actual returns differ significantly from the Company's estimates, or if modifications to individual reseller agreements are entered into that impact their rights of returns, such differences could result in an adjustment to previously established reserves and could have a material impact, either favorably or unfavorably, on the Company’s results of operations for the period in which the actual returns become known or the reseller agreement is modified. The Company's international distributor agreements do not currently allow for product returns and, as a result, no reserve for returns is established for this group of customers. The estimates and reserve for rebates and price protection are based on specific programs, expected usage and historical experience. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Under cost-plus-fixed-fee (CPFF) type contracts, the Company recognizes revenue based on costs incurred plus a pro rata portion of the total fixed fee. Costs incurred include labor and material that are directly associated with individual CPFF contracts plus indirect overhead and general and administrative type costs based upon billing rates submitted by the Company to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). Annually, the Company submits final indirect billing rates to DCMA based upon actual costs incurred throughout the year. In the situation where the Company’s final actual billing rates are greater than the estimated rates currently in effect, the Company records a cumulative revenue adjustment in the period in which the rate differential is collected from the customer. These final billing rates are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), which can occur several years after the final billing rates are submitted and may result in material adjustments to revenue recognized based on estimated final billing rates. As of April 2, 2016, fiscal years 2012 through 2015 are open for audit by DCAA. In the situation where the Company’s anticipated actual billing rates will be lower than the provisional rates currently in effect, the Company records a cumulative revenue adjustment in the period in which the rate differential is identified. Revenue on firm fixed price (FFP) contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. For government product FFP contracts, revenue is recognized as the product is shipped or in accordance with the contract terms. Costs and estimated gross margins on contracts are recorded as revenue as work is performed based on the percentage that incurred costs compare to estimated total costs utilizing the most recent estimates of costs and funding. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from final contract settlements and government audits, may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Since many contracts extend over a long period of time, revisions in cost and funding estimates during the progress of work have the effect of adjusting earnings applicable to past performance in the current period. When the current contract estimate indicates a loss, a provision is made for the total anticipated loss in the current period. Revenue earned in excess of billings, if any, is recorded as unbilled revenue. Billings in excess of revenue earned, if any, are recorded as deferred revenue.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation through recognition of the fair value of the stock-based compensation as a charge against earnings. Stock-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Stock-based compensation cost for restricted stock awards, time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units is measured based on the closing fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. For performance-based restricted stock units, the compensation costs will be subsequently adjusted for assumptions of achievement during the period in which the assumption of achievement changes, as applicable. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

Restricted stock units and stock options representing approximately 0.7 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock for the three-month periods ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for these periods because their effect would have been antidilutive.
Income Taxes

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The statute of limitations for examinations by the Internal Revenue Service is closed for fiscal years prior to 2012. The statute of limitations for examinations by state tax authorities is closed for fiscal years prior to 2011. Federal carryforward attributes that were generated prior to fiscal year 2012 and state carryforward attributes that were generated prior to fiscal year 2011 may still be adjusted upon examination by the federal or state tax authorities if they either have been or will be used in a period for which the statute of limitations is still open.

Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company monitors the realization of its deferred tax assets based on changes in circumstances, for example, recurring periods of income for tax purposes following historical periods of cumulative losses, generation of tax credits compared to future utilization of credits, or changes in tax laws or regulations. The Company's income tax provision and its assessment of the ability to realize its deferred tax assets involve significant judgments and estimates. The Company is currently generating state research credits that exceed the amount being utilized. As a result of this trend, a valuation allowance may be needed in the future related to these state tax credits.

The Company recorded a tax provision of $1.8 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively. The $1.8 million provision for the three months ended April 2, 2016 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 31.4%. The $2.4 million provision for the three months ended March 28, 2015 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 33.1%. The difference between the effective income tax rate of 31.4% for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and 33.1% for the three months ended March 28, 2015 was primarily due to the inclusion of the federal research and development tax credit in the three months ended April 2, 2016 that was not in effect for the three months ended March 28, 2015. Therefore, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2015 does not include any benefit for the federal research and development tax credit. The federal research and development tax credit was permanently extended as part of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 which was signed into law on December 18, 2015.

Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at April 2, 2016, were as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

(1)
The bond investments are valued based on observable market values as of the Company’s reporting date. The bond investments are recorded at fair value and marked-to-market at the end of each reporting period. The realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in comprehensive income for that period.

(2)
Derivative instruments are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) annually or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. In accordance with the guidance, the Company is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a two-step goodwill impairment test is performed.
The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair values of the applicable reporting units with their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The second step of the goodwill impairment test involves comparing the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying value of that goodwill. The Company completes the annual impairment evaluation during the fourth quarter each year, or more frequently, if necessary, upon identification of a triggering event.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on their balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by most leases and continue to recognize expenses on their income statements over the lease term.  It will also require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." ASU 2015-17 requires that the presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. This standard will become effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption allowed. The Company elected to prospectively adopt ASU 2015-17 as of January 2, 2016. The prior reporting period was not retrospectively adjusted. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." ASU 2015-11 applies only to inventory for which cost is determined by methods other than last-in, first-out and the retail inventory method, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost. Inventory within the scope of this standard is required to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2015-11 on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." Under ASU 2015-05, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the software license element of the arrangement should be accounted for consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for

as a service contract. The new standard became effective for the Company on January 3, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Consolidation - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." ASU 2015-02 reduces the number of consolidation models and changes the way reporting entities evaluate a variable interest entity. It is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 effective January 3, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." ASU 2014-12 requires a reporting entity to treat a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. It is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted ASU 2014-12 effective January 3, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of the new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition by one year to December 17, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard issued in May 2014 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

4. Stock Option Plans and Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has options outstanding under three stock incentive plans: the 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan"), the Evolution Robotics, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan (the "2007 Plan") and the 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan" and together with the 2005 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the "Plans"). The Company also has restricted stock units outstanding under the 2005 Plan and the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan is the only one of the three plans under which new awards may currently be granted. Under the 2015 Plan, which became effective May 20, 2015, 3,100,000 shares were initially reserved for issuance in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock awards, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards, cash-based awards, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights. Stock awards returned to the Plans, with the exception of those issued under the 2007 Plan, as a result of their expiration, cancellation or termination are automatically made available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. Eligibility for incentive stock options is limited to those individuals whose employment status would qualify them for the tax treatment associated with incentive stock options in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As of April 2, 2016, there were 1,960,304 shares available for future grant under the 2015 Plan.
Options granted under the Plans are subject to terms and conditions as determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors, including vesting periods. Options granted under the Plans are exercisable in full at any time subsequent to

iROBOT CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

vesting, generally vest over four years, and expire five or ten years from the date of grant or, if earlier, 60 or 90 days from employee termination. The exercise price of stock options is equal to the closing price on the NASDAQ Global Market on the date of grant. Other awards granted under the Plans generally vest over periods from one to four years.
On March 11, 2016, the Company issued stock-based grants to certain employees, including executive officers. These grants included stock options totaling 128,595 shares of the Company's common stock, 174,822 time-based restricted stock units, and 77,985 performance-based restricted stock units. Each of the above stock options have a per share exercise price of $33.14, the closing price of the Company's common stock on NASDAQ on March 11, 2016.

6. Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily related to sales in the Canadian Dollar and the Euro. As a result, the Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on results of operations. These derivative instruments have maturities of two months or less and have not qualified for hedge accounting.

Outstanding Purchase Orders
At April 2, 2016, the Company had outstanding purchase orders aggregating approximately $109 million. These purchase orders, the majority of which are with contract manufacturers for the purchase of inventory in the normal course of business, are for manufacturing and non-manufacturing related goods and services, and are generally cancelable without penalty. In circumstances where we determine that we have financial exposure associated with any of these commitments, we record a liability in the period in which that exposure is identified.
Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right infringement claim by any third party. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, respectively.
Warranty
The Company provides warranties on most products and has established a reserve for warranties based on estimated warranty costs. The reserve is included as part of accrued expenses (Note 5) in the accompanying balance sheets.

Sales Taxes

The Company collects and remits sales tax in jurisdictions in which it has a physical presence or it believes nexus exists, which therefore obligates the Company to collect and remit sales tax. The Company continually evaluates whether it has established nexus in new jurisdictions with respect to sales tax. The Company has recorded a liability for potential exposure in states where there is uncertainty about the point in time at which the Company established a sufficient business connection to create nexus. The Company continues to analyze possible sales tax exposure, but does not currently believe that any individual claim or aggregate claims that might arise will ultimately have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

8. Industry Segment, Geographic Information and Significant Customers
The Company has historically operated in two reportable segments, the home robots business unit and the defense and security business unit. The nature of products and types of customers for these two segments vary significantly, and accordingly, these segments have been managed separately. On April 4, 2016, the Company completed the sale of its defense and security business unit.
Home Robots
The Company’s home robots business unit offers products to consumers through a network of retail businesses throughout the United States, to various countries through international distributors and retailers, and through the Company’s on-line store. The Company’s home robots business unit includes mobile robots used in the maintenance of households.
Defense and Security Robots
Through its defense and security business unit, the Company offered products to the U.S. Department of Defense through a small U.S. government-focused sales force, and to other North American and international entities through small domestic and international sales teams, as well as through North American and international distributors. The defense and security robots sold by the Company are used to increase warfighters', law enforcement, security forces and first responders' safety and productivity.
Other
The Company’s other revenue and cost of revenue result from other smaller business units that do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment, as well as certain operational costs included in cost of revenue.

10. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

On February 2, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with iRobot Defense Holdings, Inc., a recently-formed portfolio company of Arlington Capital Partners, which provided for the sale of our defense and security business unit which is a separate reportable segment as discussed in Note 8. The purchase agreement provided for a purchase price of up to $45.0 million, comprising $30.0 million at the closing of the transaction, subject to adjustments for working capital and indebtedness as set forth in the purchase agreement, and up to an additional $15.0 million based on the 2016 revenue of the defense and security business unit. The transaction closed on April 4, 2016. All assets and liabilities have been classified as "current" on the balance sheet dated as of April 2, 2016, since the transaction closed within twelve months of such date.

The assets and liabilities included in the sale were included in the Company’s continuing operations for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and classified as assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet as of April 2, 2016. The sale of the defense and security business does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations presentation as it does not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The following table summarizes the major classes of assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale:

On April 4, 2016, the Company closed the previously announced sale of the defense and security business unit to iRobot Defense Holdings, Inc., a recently-formed portfolio company of Arlington Capital Partners. The purchase agreement provided for a purchase price of up to $45.0 million, comprising $30.0 million at the closing of the transaction, subject to adjustments for working capital and indebtedness as set forth in the purchase agreement, and up to an additional $15.0 million based on the 2016 revenue of the defense and security business unit. The adjustments for working capital and indebtedness will be finalized during the Company’s second quarter of 2016.

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch (JPMorgan), to repurchase an aggregate of $85.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, which is documented under a Master Confirmation, the Company made an $85.0 million payment to JPMorgan in April 2016 to fund the ASR.

Overview
iRobot designs and builds robots that empower people to do more. For 25 years, we have developed proprietary technology incorporating advanced concepts in navigation, mobility, manipulation and artificial intelligence to build industry-leading robots. Our home robots perform time-consuming domestic chores while our defense and security robots perform tasks such as battlefield reconnaissance and bomb disposal, and multi-purpose tasks for law enforcement agencies, first responders, and certain commercial users. We sell our robots through a variety of distribution channels, including chain stores and other national retailers, through our on-line store, through value-added distributors and resellers, and to the U.S. military and other government agencies worldwide.
As of April 2, 2016, we had 633 full-time employees. We have developed expertise in the disciplines necessary to build durable, high-performance and cost-effective robots through the close integration of software, electronics and hardware. Our core technologies serve as reusable building blocks that we adapt and expand to develop next generation and new products, reducing the time, cost and risk of product development. Our significant expertise in robot design and engineering positions us to capitalize on the expected growth in the market for robot-based products.
In recent months, we have taken several steps to become more focused on our well-established home robots business to capitalize on the substantial opportunities available to us within consumer markets. First, we completed the sale of our defense and security business unit on April 4, 2016, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated February 2, 2016, with iRobot Defense Holdings, Inc., a recently-formed portfolio company of Arlington Capital Partners. The purchase agreement provided for a purchase price of up to $45.0 million, comprising $30.0 million at the closing of the transaction, subject to adjustments for working capital and indebtedness as set forth in the purchase agreement, and up to an additional $15.0 million based on the 2016 revenue of the defense and security business unit. Second, we reallocated research and development resources from a next generation remote presence platform to opportunities in our home robots business. These actions were taken to solidify our position as the leader in diversified home robots and to focus on key technologies, with an emphasis on software, that allow our robots to understand the homes in which they operate. It is our intent to continue investing in these critical technologies and the economic opportunities they unlock.
Although we have successfully launched consumer and defense and security products, our continued success depends upon our ability to respond to a number of future challenges. We believe the most significant of these challenges include

19

Table of Contents


increasing market competition, and our ability to successfully develop and introduce products and product enhancements into both new and existing markets.
During the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, we launched the Braava jet mopping robot. The Braava jet was available exclusively on our website during the three-month period ended April 2, 2016. It will be available in retail locations in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2016, as well as China and Japan during the third quarter of 2016.
During the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, strong growth in our domestic market for home robots products drove increases in our home robots business unit revenue of 15% as compared to the three-month period ended March 28, 2015. Domestic home robots revenue increased 56% in the three-month period ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three- month period ended March 28, 2015, resulting primarily from our marketing programs in the fourth quarter of 2015. These increases were partially offset by an 8% decrease in our international home robots revenue in the three-month period ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three-month period ended March 28, 2015, largely driven by distributor order timing. Revenue in our defense and security business unit decreased 53% during the three-month period ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three-month period ended March 28, 2015, driven by decreases in both robot and product life cycle sales.
During the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, we recorded a net benefit to revenue and income before income taxes of $1.0 million related to adjustments to our product returns reserves, compared to a net benefit to revenue and income before income taxes of $1.1 million during the three-month period ended March 28, 2015. The adjustments recorded in each period resulted from lower product returns experience as compared to estimates used to establish reserves in prior periods.
During the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, we repurchased 0.4 million shares of common stock for approximately $12.0 million. The repurchases were made pursuant to our stock repurchase programs and all shares were immediately retired.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, in particular those related to revenue recognition (specifically sales returns and other allowances); valuation allowances; assumptions used in valuing goodwill and intangible assets; assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation instruments; evaluating loss contingencies; and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates. Our management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Additional information about these critical accounting policies may be found in the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016.

10.9%
Total revenue for the three months ended April 2, 2016 increased to $130.8 million, or 10.9%, compared to $118.0 million for the three months ended March 28, 2015. Revenue increased approximately $16.6 million, or 14.9%, in our home robots business unit and decreased approximately $3.5 million, or 52.9%, in our defense and security robots business unit. We completed the sale of our defense and security business unit on April 4, 2016.
The $16.6 million increase in revenue from our home robots business unit for the three months ended April 2, 2016 was driven primarily by a 12.0% increase in units shipped, and an 8.0% increase in average selling price as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015. In the three months ended April 2, 2016, domestic home robots revenue increased $22.5 million, or 55.5%, and international home robots revenue decreased $5.9 million, or 8.4%, as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015. Total home robots shipped in the three months ended April 2, 2016 were 550,000 units compared to 491,000 units in the three months ended March 28, 2015. The increase in sales of our home robots resulted primarily from increased sales of our Roomba 980, which launched during the three months ended September 26, 2015.
The $3.5 million decrease in revenue from our defense and security robots business unit for the three months ended April 2, 2016 was attributable to a $3.4 million decrease in defense and security product revenue and a $0.1 million decrease in contract revenue generated under research and development contracts. Total defense and security robots shipped in the three months ended April 2, 2016 were 11 units compared to 28 units in the three months ended March 28, 2015, while average selling price increased to $96 thousand in the three months ended April 2, 2016 from $59 thousand in the three months ended March 28, 2015. The decrease in the number of units shipped and the increase in average selling price resulted from the product mix for the three months ended April 2, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015.

Total cost of revenue increased to $68.8 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016, compared to $64.3 million in the three months ended March 28, 2015. Cost of revenue increased $6.3 million, or 11.6%, in our home robots business unit, and decreased $1.8 million, or 41.2%, in our defense and security business unit. The increase in cost of revenue for the three months ended April 2, 2016 in our home robots business unit is primarily due to the 14.9% increase in revenue, partially offset by decreased warranty costs in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015. The decrease in cost of revenue in our defense and security business unit resulted primarily from the 52.9% decrease in product revenue during the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the home robots business unit increased 1.4 percentage points, and decreased 16.6 percentage points in our defense and security business unit. The 1.4 percentage point increase in the home robots business unit resulted from favorable product and region mix as well as decreased warranty costs in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015. The 16.6 percentage point decrease in the defense and security business unit is mostly attributable to the unfavorable overhead leverage associated with the 52.9% decrease in the defense and security robots business unit revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015.

This increase is primarily attributable to increased people-related costs of $1.7 million associated with increased headcount, especially related to software engineers, partially offset by decreased material and contractor expenses of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015.

This increase in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015 is primarily attributable to increases of $2.5 million in people-related costs and $1.3 million in legal, advisory and other consulting costs. These increases were largely driven by one-time costs totaling $2.5 million associated with the sale of the defense and security business unit and the proxy contest initiated by Red Mountain Partners, including $0.6 million of people-related costs and $1.9 million of legal, advisory and other consulting costs.

Other income (expense), net, amounted to $0.2 million and $(0.8) million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively. Other income, net for the three-month period ended April 2, 2016 consisted primarily of interest income, offset by foreign currency exchange losses. Other expense, net for the three-month period ended March 28, 2015 consisted primarily of foreign currency exchange losses resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by interest income. The reduction of other loss in the three months ended March 28, 2015 resulted primarily from the revaluation of receivables denominated in Canadian Dollars and Euros. Since the three months ended March 28, 2015, the net expense attributable to receivables denominated in foreign currency is relatively minor due to our implementation of forward currency contracts to mitigate exposure.

We recorded a tax provision of $1.8 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively. The $1.8 million provision for the three months ended April 2, 2016 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 31.4%. The $2.4 million provision for the three months ended March 28, 2015 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 33.1%. The difference between the effective income tax rate of 31.4% for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and 33.1% for the three months ended March 28, 2015 was primarily due to the inclusion of the federal research and development tax credit in the three months ended April 2, 2016 that was not in effect for the three months ended March 28, 2015. Therefore, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 28, 2015 does not include any benefit for the federal research and development tax credit. The federal research and development tax credit was permanently extended as part of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 which was signed into law on December 18, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 2, 2016, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents totaling $216.0 million, short-term investments of $30.7 million and accounts receivable of $28.5 million.
We manufacture and distribute our products through contract manufacturers and third-party logistics providers. We believe that this approach gives us the advantages of relatively low capital investment and significant flexibility in scheduling production and managing inventory levels. By leasing our office facilities, we also minimize the cash needed for expansion. Accordingly, our capital spending is generally limited to leasehold improvements, computers, office furniture, product-specific production tooling, internal use software and test equipment. In the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, we spent $2.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, on capital equipment.
Our strategy for delivering home robots products to our distributors and retail customers gives us the flexibility to provide container shipments directly to retailers from China and, alternatively, allows our distributors and retail partners to take possession of product on a domestic basis. Accordingly, our home robots product inventory consists of goods shipped to our third-party logistics providers for the fulfillment of distributor, retail and direct-to-consumer sales. For the three months ended April 2, 2016, our inventory of defense and security products consisted mostly of components, as well as carefully-managed levels of sub-assemblies. Our contract manufacturers are also responsible for purchasing and stocking components required for the production of our products, and they typically invoice us when the finished goods are shipped.
As of April 2, 2016, we held cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $246.7 million, primarily the result of our increased profitability, as well as our on-going focus on managing working capital. Net cash provided by our operations for the three-month period ended April 2, 2016, was $48.6 million of which the principal components were our net income of $3.9 million, non-cash charges of $7.0 million, and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $37.7 million. The increase in net operating assets and liabilities includes a decrease in accounts receivable (including unbilled revenue) of $70.1 million primarily due to collections of accounts receivable and a decrease in revenue in respective periods, partially offset by a $27.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses primarily related to the timing of payments. As of April 2, 2016, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under our working capital line of credit and had $1.5 million in letters of credit outstanding under our revolving letter of credit facility.
In the three months ended April 2, 2016, we invested $2.4 million in the purchase of property and equipment, including machinery and tooling for new products. Sales and maturities of marketable securities amounted to $2.5 million. We made strategic investments of $0.5 million in the form of preferred shares.
During the three months ended April 2, 2016, we received $0.8 million from the exercise of stock options and $0.3 million from the excess tax benefit related to our stock-based compensation plans. In addition, we repurchased 373,718 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $12.0 million. Shares issued upon vesting of restricted stock were net of 37,581 shares retained by us to cover employee tax withholdings of $1.2 million.

Working Capital Facilities
Credit Facility
We have an unsecured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., which is available to fund working capital and other corporate purposes. As of April 2, 2016, the total amount of our credit facility was $75.0 million and the full amount was available for borrowing. The interest on loans under our credit facility accrues, at our election, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin, currently equal to 1.0%, based on our ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA (the "Eurodollar Rate"), or (2) the lender’s base rate. The lender’s base rate is equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (2) the lender’s prime rate and (3) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%. The credit facility will terminate and all amounts outstanding thereunder will be due and payable in full on December 20, 2018.
As of April 2, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. This credit facility contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including restrictions on our ability to incur or guaranty additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, make loans or investments, sell assets, pay dividends or make distributions on, or repurchase, our stock, and consolidate or merge with other entities.
In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants customary with this type of agreement, including maintaining a maximum ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA and a minimum specified interest coverage ratio.
This credit facility contains customary events of default, including for payment defaults, breaches of representations, breaches of affirmative or negative covenants, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and failure to discharge certain judgments. If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period or is not waived, our obligations under the credit facility may be accelerated.
As of April 2, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving credit facility.
Letter of Credit Facility
We have an unsecured revolving letter of credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. The credit facility is available to fund letters of credit on our behalf up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $5 million. We may terminate at any time, subject to proper notice, or from time to time permanently reduce the amount of the credit facility.
We pay a fee on outstanding letters of credit issued under the credit facility of up to 1.5% per annum of the outstanding letters of credit. The maturity date for letters of credit issued under the credit facility must be no later than 365 days following the maturity date of the credit facility.
As of April 2, 2016, we had letters of credit outstanding of $1.5 million under our revolving letter of credit facility. The credit facility contains customary terms and conditions for credit facilities of this type, including restrictions on our ability to incur or guaranty additional indebtedness, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, make loans or investments, sell assets, pay dividends or make distributions on, or repurchase, our stock, and consolidate or merge with other entities. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants customary with this type of agreement, including maintaining a maximum ratio of indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA and a minimum specified interest coverage ratio.
The credit facility also contains customary events of default, including for payment defaults, breaches of representations, breaches of affirmative or negative covenants, cross defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy, and failure to discharge certain judgments. If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period or is not waived, the lender may accelerate the obligations under the credit facility.
As of April 2, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under the revolving letter of credit facility.

Working Capital and Capital Expenditure Needs
On March 1, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, London Branch (JPMorgan), to repurchase an aggregate of $85.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, which is documented under a Master Confirmation, we made an $85.0 million payment to JPMorgan in April 2016 to fund the repurchase of a portion of our outstanding shares of common stock. We partially funded the ASR with proceeds from the divestiture of our defense and security business unit, which closed on April 4, 2016. We currently have no other material cash commitments, except for normal recurring trade payables, expense accruals and operating leases, all of which we anticipate funding through working capital, funds provided by operating activities and our existing working capital line of credit. We do not currently anticipate significant investment in property, plant and equipment, and we believe that our outsourced approach to manufacturing provides us with flexibility in both managing inventory levels and financing our inventory. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash provided by operating activities, and funds available through our working capital line of credit will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months. In the event that our revenue plan does not meet our expectations, we may eliminate or curtail expenditures to mitigate the impact on our working capital. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our marketing and sales activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements to existing products, the acquisition of new capabilities or technologies, and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. Moreover, to the extent that existing cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, cash from operations, and cash from short-term borrowing are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity or debt financing. As part of our business strategy, we may consider additional acquisitions of companies, technologies and products, which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing. Additional funds may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all.
Contractual Obligations
We generally do not enter into binding purchase commitments. Our principal commitments generally consist of obligations under our working capital line of credit, leases for office space and minimum contractual obligations for materials. Other obligations primarily consist of software licensing arrangements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of April 2, 2016, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Footnote 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
At April 2, 2016, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $216.0 million and short term investments of $30.7 million. The unrestricted cash and cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Some of the securities in which we invest, however, may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the fair market value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk in the future, we intend to maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents in a variety of securities, commercial paper, money market funds, debt securities and certificates of deposit. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. As of April 2, 2016, all of our cash and cash equivalents were held in demand deposits and money market accounts.
Our exposure to market risk also relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay on any outstanding debt instruments, primarily certain borrowings under our working capital line of credit. The advances under the working capital line of credit bear a variable rate of interest determined at the time of the borrowing. At April 2, 2016, we had letters of credit outstanding of $1.5 million under our revolving letter of credit facility.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We maintain sales and business operations in foreign countries. As such, we have exposure to adverse changes in exchange rates associated with operating expenses of our foreign operations, but we believe this exposure to be immaterial. Additionally, we accept orders for home robots products in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We regularly monitor the level of non-U.S. dollar accounts receivable balances to determine if any actions, including possibly entering into foreign currency forward contracts or swaps, should be taken to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on our results of operations. Our international revenue is primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and therefore any fluctuations in the Euro or any other non-U.S. dollar currencies will have minimal direct impact on our international revenue. However, as the U.S. dollar strengthens or weakens against other currencies, our international distributors may be impacted, which could affect their profitability and our ability to maintain current pricing levels on our international consumer products.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to various claims, charges and litigation. The outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed of unfavorably to us, which could materially affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, which we currently deem immaterial or which are similar to those faced by other companies in our industry or business in general, may also impair our business operations. There are no material changes to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016.

Our policy governing transactions in our securities by our directors, officers, and employees permits our officers, directors, funds affiliated with our directors, and certain other persons to enter into trading plans complying with Rule 10b5-l under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have been advised that certain of our officers and directors (including Colin Angle, Chief Executive Officer, and Glen Weinstein, EVP, Chief Legal Officer) have entered into trading plans (each a "Plan" and collectively, the "Plans") covering periods after the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and our policy governing transactions in our securities. Generally, under these trading plans, the individual relinquishes control over the transactions once the trading plan is put into place. Accordingly, sales under these plans may occur at any time, including possibly before, simultaneously with, or immediately after significant events involving our company.
We anticipate that, as permitted by Rule 10b5-l and our policy governing transactions in our securities, some or all of our officers, directors and employees may establish trading plans in the future. We intend to disclose the names of our executive officers and directors who establish a trading plan in compliance with Rule 10b5-l and the requirements of our policy governing transactions in our securities in our future quarterly and annual reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We, however, undertake no obligation to update or revise the information provided herein.
