NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Aerohive Networks, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on March 15, 2006, and, together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), has designed and developed a leading cloud and enterprise Wi-Fi solution that enables our customers to use the power of the Wi-Fi, cloud, analytics and applications to transform how they serve their customers. Our products include Wi-Fi access points, routers and switches required to build an edge-access network; a cloud services platform for centralized management; data collection and analytics; and applications that leverage the network to provide additional capabilities to the business and IT organizations. Together, these products, service platforms and applications create a simple, scalable, and secure solution to deliver a better-connected experience.
The Company has offices in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific and employs staff around the world.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The Company prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), which includes the accounts of Aerohive Networks, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts the Company reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Those estimates and assumptions include, among others, the best estimate of selling price ("BESP") of product, software and support services, determination of fair value of stock-based awards, inventory valuation, accounting for income taxes, including the valuation reserve on deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions, allowance for sales reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, and warranty costs. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As the Company, cannot determine future events and their effects with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and those differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The Company remeasures the transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency at the average exchange rate in effect during the period. At the end of each reporting period, the Company remeasures its subsidiaries’ monetary assets and liabilities to the U.S. dollar using exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. The Company remeasures its non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates. The Company records gains and losses related to remeasurement in other income(expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency exchange losses have not been significant in any period presented and the Company has not undertaken any hedging transactions related to foreign currency exposure.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which replaced the lower of cost or market test with the lower of cost or net realizable value test. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 with January 1, 2017 being the effective date of adoption. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods presented and any prior periods.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for 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. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 with January 1, 2017 being the effective date of adoption. This standard eliminates the requirement to delay the recognition of excess tax benefits until they reduce current taxes payable.

6


Under this standard, previously unrecognized excess tax benefits shall be recognized on a modified retrospective basis. However, as of January 1, 2017, this had no impact on our accumulated deficit as the related U.S. deferred tax assets were fully offset by a valuation allowance. Additionally, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than estimate expected forfeitures using a modified retrospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $0.2 million to accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2017. Further, ASU 2016-09 requires excess tax benefits to be presented as a component of operating cash flows rather than financing cash flows. We elected to adopt this requirement prospectively and accordingly, prior periods have not been adjusted. Excess tax benefits were not material for all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance. This standard requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 deferring the effective date of this standard by one year to December 15, 2017, and, thus, the new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. This standard may be adopted using either the full or modified retrospective methods. In April 2016 and May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10 and ASU 2016-12, respectively, which clarify guidance on identifying performance obligations, collectability criterion and noncash consideration. The Company preliminarily plans to adopt these standards on a full retrospective basis; however, the Company has not yet made a final decision on the adoption methodology and is currently in the process of determining the potential impact that these standards will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities.  This standard will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the lease accounting requirements in Topic 840. This standard requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. The standard also requires qualitative and specific quantitative disclosures to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. This standard is effective beginning in fiscal year 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance to decrease the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not currently anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An impairment charge will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash equivalents in money market funds. The amount on deposit at any time with money market funds may exceed the insured limits provided on such funds.
The Company sells its products primarily to channel partners, which include value-added resellers, or VARs, value-added distributors, or VADs, and Managed Service Providers, or MSPs. The Company’s accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa,

7


and Asia Pacific. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations to determine customer credit, but generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company maintains reserves for estimated credit losses and these losses have historically been within management’s expectations. 
The Company has entered into separate agreements with certain individual VADs that are part of a consolidated group of entities which collectively constitutes greater than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or gross accounts receivable balance for certain periods, as presented in the tables below.
The percentages of revenue from a consolidated group of entities (VAD A) and from an individual entity (VAD B) greater than 10% of total consolidated revenue were as follows:

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company records its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company categorizes these assets and liabilities based upon the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure the fair value. The categories are as follows:
Level 1
 
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
 
Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3
 
Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
The Company classified its cash equivalents and short-term marketable investments within Level 1 and Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Level 1 assets include highly liquid money market funds that are included in cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally classifies these instruments within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets. Level 2 assets include U.S. treasuries, corporate securities, agency securities and commercial paper. The Company classifies these instruments as short-term investments unless their maturities are three months or less when purchased, in which case the Company includes them in cash and cash equivalents. The Company uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency, which the Company obtains from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors, or other sources, to determine the ultimate fair value of these assets.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company held an investment in a privately held company, which the Company classified as a Level 3 investment in the fair value hierarchy (Note 3).

All Level 1 and 2 short-term investments the Company held as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, contractually mature within one year from these respective dates.
Unrealized gains and losses related to these investments are due to interest rate fluctuations as opposed to credit quality. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell, these investments before recovery of their cost basis. As a result, there was no other-than-temporary impairment for these investments as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The software category includes the capitalized internal-use software for the Company's cloud service platform. In April 2015, the Company completed and launched the next generation of its cloud services platform, and began to amortize these capitalized costs to cost of subscription and support revenue on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of the software of five years.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Office furniture and equipment classified under capital lease was $1.2 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 respectively, and the related accumulated depreciation was $0.3 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 respectively.

In January 2016, the Company paid $1.5 million in cash to purchase a convertible note issued by a privately held company, which provides Wi-Fi application and analytics. In June 2017, the convertible note and accrued interest on the note converted into shares of preferred stock of the privately held company and the note was cancelled. The accrued interest on the note was immaterial for any period. The Company currently has no significant voting rights, investor rights or influence over the privately held company. Since the investment has no readily determinable market value, the Company has categorized it as a Level 3 asset in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2017, the investment is carried at the value of original principal and the Company reviews such carried value quarterly for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment. The Company did not recognize an impairment for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, as there were no identified events or changes in circumstances that might have a significant adverse impact on the carrying values of the investment. Since the Company does not intend to liquidate this investment in the next 12 months, the Company has classified the investment as other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

4. DEBT
Financing Agreements
In June 2012, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s property, other than intellectual property. Since January 1, 2016, the Revolving Credit Facility bears interest rate at the lesser of (i) LIBOR rate plus 1.75% or (ii) prime rate minus 1.0%. In March 2017, the Company further amended the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date by two years and reduce the minimum cash requirements. The weighted-average interest rate of the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.90% and 2.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 2.74% and 2.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Revolving Credit facility currently provides, among other things, (i) a maturity date of March 31, 2019; and (ii) a revolving line up to $20.0 million, subject to certain conditions.

11


The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary negative covenants which, unless waived by the bank, limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, repurchase stock, pay dividends, transfer assets and merge or consolidate, as well as requiring the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted quick ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 and minimum cash balances with the bank as of the last day of each month of $35.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, subject to customary cure periods for certain defaults, that include, among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, material judgment defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults, cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness, and defaults due to inaccuracy of representation and warranties. Upon an event of default, the lender may declare all or a portion of the outstanding obligations payable by the Company to be immediately due and payable and exercise other rights and remedies provided for under the Revolving Credit Facility. During the existence of an event of default, interest on the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility could be increased by 5.0%. As of June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
As of June 30, 2017, $20.0 million remains outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and is classified as non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
The Company currently leases its main office facility in Milpitas, California, which is set to expire in June 2023. In addition, the Company leases office space for its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Korea and China under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various times through August 2021. The Company has also entered into various lease agreements in other locations in the United States and globally to support its sales and research and development functions.
The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period. Future minimum lease payments by year under operating leases as of June 30, 2017 are as follows:

Manufacturing Commitments
The Company subcontracts with manufacturing companies to manufacture its hardware products. The contract manufacturers procure components based on non-cancelable orders the Company places with them. If the Company cancels all or part of an order, the Company is liable to the contract manufacturers for the cost of the related components they purchased under such orders.
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had manufacturing commitments with contract manufacturers for inventory totaling approximately $6.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively.
Contingencies
The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and litigation arising from time to time. The Company will record a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company expects periodically to evaluate developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that it has previously accrued, if any, and make adjustments as appropriate. The Company exercises significant judgment to determine both likelihood of there being, and the estimated amount of, a loss related to such matters, and the Company’s judgment may be incorrect. The Company cannot reasonably determine in advance the outcome of any litigation proceeding. Until the final resolution of any such matter for which the Company may be required to accrue, the Company may have an exposure to loss in excess of the amount the Company has accrued, and such excess amount could be significant.
The Company is currently engaged in the following separate litigations which allege that the Company’s products infringe certain patents.
•
Linex Technologies, or Linex, filed on March 19, 2013 a complaint in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, asserting that some or all of the Company’s products infringe U.S. Patents Nos. #6,493,377, or the ‘377 Patent, and #7,167,503, or the ’503 Patent. The Company filed an answer and counterclaims for declaratory judgment against Linex asserting that the Company’s products do not infringe the ‘377 and ‘503 Patents, and that the ‘377 and ‘503 Patents are, in any case, invalid and not enforceable. The Company separately filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the PTO, petitions to initiate reexamination of the ‘377 and ‘503 Patents, which the PTO granted. In the PTO reexaminations, all claims under the ‘377 and '503 Patents have been rejected and Linex has appealed the final rejections of the claims. This case is currently stayed pending the reexaminations.
•
Chrimar Systems, or Chrimar, filed in July 2015 a complaint in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas, asserting that certain of the Company’s products which utilize Power over Ethernet ("POE") functionality infringe United States Patent Nos. 8,155,012, or the '012 Patent, 8,902,760, or the '760 Patent, 8,942,107, or the '107 Patent and 9,019,838, or the '838 Patent. A jury trial was conducted in January 2017, following which the court entered an order finding non-infringement as to the Company's products under all patents in suit. The court subsequently entered a final judgment as to non-infringement under the patents in suit, which neither party challenged or appealed prior to the

13


lapsing of the period for any such timely challenges or appeals. The Company separately filed with the PTO petitions to initiate reexamination of the '012 Patent and the '760 Patent, which petitions the PTO granted. The PTO has rejected all claims of the '012 Patent and is considering the Company's petition regarding the '760 Patent.
•
Mobile Telecommunications Technologies LLC, or Mobile, filed in May 2016 a complaint in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas, asserting that certain of the Company’s products which utilize MIMO systems or frequency structures and functionality infringe United States Patent Nos. 5,590,403, 5,659,891, and 5,915,210. The case was consolidated with several other cases involving the same patents and transferred to U.S. District Court, Delaware, for pretrial purposes.  
The Company intends to defend these lawsuits vigorously, and is not able to predict or estimate any range of reasonably possible loss related to these lawsuits. If these matters have an adverse outcome, they may have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.       
Guarantees
The Company typically enters into agreements with its customers that contain indemnification provisions in the event of claims alleging that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. The Company has at its option and expense, the ability to resolve any infringement, replace product with a non-infringing product that is equivalent-in-function, or refund to the customers the total product price. These agreements also typically include guarantees of product and service performance. The Company has not recorded a liability related to these indemnification and guarantee provisions and the Company’s indemnification and guarantee provisions have not had any impact on the consolidated financial statements to date.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
2014 Equity Incentive Plan
On March 26, 2014, the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("2014 Plan") became effective. On March 27, 2014, the Company's earlier 2006 Global Share Plan ("2006 Plan") was terminated and all reserved-but-unissued shares under the 2006 Plan were added to the 2014 Plan and all shares underlying stock awards granted under the 2006 Plan that otherwise would return to the 2006 Plan instead were rolled into the 2014 Plan. The Company may not grant additional awards under the 2006 Plan, but the 2006 Plan will continue to govern outstanding awards previously granted under the 2006 Plan.
The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, only to employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, and the employees and consultants of any parent or subsidiary of the Company.
In January 2017, the Company effected an increase of 2,612,263 shares reserved under the 2014 Plan. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 6,645,767 total shares of common stock reserved and available for grant under the 2014 Plan.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $3.22 and $3.16 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and the aggregate grant-date fair value of the Company's stock options granted was $2.6 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. There were no options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.8 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The intrinsic value for each share underlying an option represents the difference between the option exercise price per share and the closing stock price of a share of the Company’s common stock. The total grant-date fair value of the options vested was $0.9 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1.9 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company currently grants Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") to certain employees and directors. The RSUs typically vest over a period of time, generally one to three years, and are subject to the participant’s continuing service to the Company over that period. Until vested, RSUs do not have the voting and dividend participation rights of common stock and the shares underlying the awards are not considered issued and outstanding.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted was $4.96 and $6.43 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and was $4.97 and $6.24 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The aggregate grant-date fair value of RSUs granted was $11.8 million and $16.9 million, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and was $15.9 million and $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The aggregate fair value of shares vested as of the respective vesting dates was $2.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and was $4.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
The number of RSUs vested includes shares that the Company withheld on behalf of certain employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, as determined by the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company withheld 25,209 and 36,758 shares of stock, for an aggregate value of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company withheld 95,577 and 95,548, for an aggregate value of 0.5 million and 0.5 million, respectively. The Company returned such shares to the 2014 Plan, which are available under the plan terms for future issuance.
The number of RSUs granted includes 378,644 shares of performance-based restricted stock units ("PBRSUs") that the Company granted to certain executives in the first quarter of 2017 pursuant to the 2014 Plan. Each PBRSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon vesting, subject to the Company's achievement of certain performance conditions. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the probability of the number of these PBRSUs expected to vest based on its achievement of the performance condition.

The number of RSUs granted also includes 358,000 shares of market-based restricted stock units (MBRSUs) that the Company granted to certain executives in June 2017 pursuant to the 2014 Plan. Each MBRSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon vesting subject to the Company's achievement of certain stock price targets. The Company estimated the fair value of the MBRSUs using the Monte Carlo option-pricing model on the date of grant as the MBRSUs contain both market and service conditions. The weighted average grant date fair value of these MBRSU's was $4.18 per share. The Company will record the total expense related to all of the MBRSUs on a graded-vesting method over the estimated term.    
2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") is a ten-year plan, effective in March 2014. The ESPP authorizes the Company to issue shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights it grants to the Company's employees and those of its designated subsidiaries. In January 2017, the Company effected an increase of 1,000,000 shares reserved under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 2,012,431 total shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP.
Under the ESPP, the Company grants stock purchase rights to all eligible employees, currently covering a one-year offering period ending December 1, 2017, with purchase dates at the end of each interim six-month purchase period. Employees purchase shares using employee payroll deductions at purchase prices equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at either the first day of each offering period or the date of purchase. The ESPP currently has a reset provision: If the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last day of any purchase period during an offering period is lower than the closing sales price on the first day of the related offering period, that offering period will terminate upon the

16


purchase of shares for such purchase period and participants will be automatically re-enrolled in the immediately following offering period. As a result, the reference price for purposes of determining the purchase price of shares for subsequent purchase periods for all participants of the new offering period resets to such lower price. No participant may purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock in any calendar year, or 5,000 shares of common stock in any six-month purchase period. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company issued 563,174 and 646,278 shares, under the ESPP plan, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
In February 2016, the Company's board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $10.0 million, with stock purchases made from time to time in compliance with applicable securities laws in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including price, regulatory requirements and capital availability. The authorization does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares, and the Company may suspend, modify or discontinue the program at any time without prior notice. In August 2017, our board of directors extended this program to June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2017, we had repurchased under this program 573,406 shares of our common stock at a total price $3.2 million average purchase price $5.51 per share of our common stock. Approximately $6.8 million remains available as of June 30, 2017 for repurchases under this program. We are not obligated to repurchase any minimum or specific number or dollar amount of shares, and we may suspend or terminate the program at any time before its expiration as of June 30, 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company repurchased a total of 208,779 shares of its common stock on the open market at a total cost of $1.0 million with an average price per share of $4.88. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company repurchased a total of 261,515 shares at a total cost of $1.5 million with an average price per share of $5.55.

As of June 30, 2017, unrecognized stock-based compensation related to outstanding stock options, RSUs and ESPP purchase rights, was $3.9 million, $26.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which the Company expects to recognize over weighted-average periods of 1.82 years, 2.24 years and 0.42 years, respectively.
8. NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, since the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

9. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The provision for income taxes consisted primarily of state taxes and foreign income taxes.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the provision for income taxes differed from the statutory amount primarily due to the Company's maintaining a full valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets, partially offset by foreign and state taxes.
The Company has intercompany services agreements with its subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and China, which require payment for services rendered by these subsidiaries at an arm’s-length transaction price. The foreign tax expense represents foreign income tax payable by these subsidiaries on profit generated on intercompany services agreements.
The Company's realization of deferred tax assets depends on future taxable income, the existence and timing of which is uncertain. Based on the Company’s history of losses, management has determined it cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, management has placed a full valuation allowance against its domestic deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards and research and development and other tax credits, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company derives its revenue primarily from sales of products and subscription and support services. The Company’s CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company determined that it operates as one reportable and operating segment.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations and involves risks and uncertainties. We intend to identify forward-looking statements when we use the words “believe,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “could,” “potentially” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those we discuss in our forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those we discuss below and those we discuss in the section entitled "Risk Factors" included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:
•
our ability to predict our revenue, operating results and gross margin accurately;
•
our ability to timely develop, deliver and transition to new product offerings and pricing strategies, and transition existing and new end-customers to such offerings and strategies, while maintaining existing revenue and margins and our existing service level commitments to end-customers;
•
our ability to continue to secure orders from larger customers and any potential loss of or reductions in orders from such larger customers;
•
our ability to maximize sales to our education vertical, including in conjunction with opportunities from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission’s E-Rate program and the timing and uncertainty of the availability of such funding, the level of available funding and the decisions by end-customers to purchase our products using such funding;
•
the length and seasonal unpredictability of our sales cycles, including with service provider end-customers;
•
the effects of increased competition in and consolidation of our market and our ability to compete with larger competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources;
•
our ability to continue to enhance and broaden our product and solutions offerings and bring new products, product functionality and solutions to market;
•
our ability to attract new end-customers within the verticals and geographies in which we currently operate;
•
changes in global consumer confidence and demand for our products internationally, due to changes to foreign currency exchange rates and other factors;
•
our ability to continue to build and enhance relationships with channel partners and to derive revenue from our investments in those partnerships, particularly with our strategic partners;
•
our ability to protect our intellectual property and our exposure to third party claims that we or our customers or channel partners infringe their intellectual property; and
•
other risk factors included under the section titled “Risk Factors.”    
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A and elsewhere in this report. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances we discuss in this report may not occur, and our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those we anticipate or imply in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, we caution you not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our goal is to be the leading independent cloud networking company that simplifies and transforms the connected experience through information, applications and insights. We have designed and developed a leading cloud-managed, networking platform that enables enterprises to deploy and manage a mobile-centric network edge. Our platform builds on the foundation of our Wi-Fi and wired network infrastructure. Our platform also connects and stores valuable data about the

20


network and the users of the network that can enable better IT and business applications. Customers around the world, from Fortune 500 businesses to small schools, have chosen our products.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, our revenue was $42.3 million, a decline of $5.3 million, compared to $47.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our revenue was $78.7 million and $87.8 million, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our net losses were $3.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our net losses were $12.9 million and $19.9 million, respectively. We have yet to achieve profitability in any quarter.
Opportunities and Challenges
We believe that the growth of our business and our future success depends upon many factors, including our ability to continue to develop innovative technologies and timely provide new product offerings to the marketplace; increase our sales capabilities and develop our channel partner program; acquire new end-customers; expand our end-customer base and increase penetration within our existing end-customer base (including through new product offerings); and demonstrate revenue growth to our investors and financial analysts while also demonstrate that we can achieve profitability on an acceptable timeline and predictably maintain profitability thereafter.
We operate in the highly competitive wired and wireless network access products market, which is characterized by rapid technological innovation. We will need to continue to innovate in order to achieve market adoption of our products and services. We have continued the expansion of our product portfolio with the release of new Wi-Fi access points, access switches and management software to allow us to deliver a unified wired and wireless network edge.
In the wireless market, we have seen almost all customer demand shift to the 802.11ac standard, which uses new radio hardware to deliver substantially higher wireless performance. In 2016, we continued the push towards higher performance with the release of our 802.11ac "Wave 2" access points. We continue to develop new functionality in our product offerings to take advantage of the changes to industry standards, including continued evolution of "Wave 2" and emerging work on the new 802.11ax standard.
We continue to believe we have a unique market opportunity based on our ability to deliver unified Wi-Fi, switch and router solution operating on a single, unified management platform, with subscription-based SaaS solutions and data analytics, at a low entry and operating cost and the ability to tailor and expand based on each user's needs. We have developed a cloud-based services platform to provide network management and support additional value-added applications. HiveManager NG, the newest version of our network management application, provides a single management interface that customers use to configure network policies, monitor and troubleshoot performance, manage access and security, and run reports on network operations. We will continue to sell and support the older version of HiveManager as well. Our focus is to continue to transition our business to HiveManager NG and make our cloud-services platform and applications available to customers in either a subscription public cloud or on-premises private cloud deployment. We also announced in January 2017, Hive Manager Connect, a simplified version of HiveManager NG included as a part of our new Aerohive Connect product line. Under the Aerohive Connect program, customers may purchase a less complex, connectivity-oriented solution at attractive entry-point pricing. Aerohive Connect customers can expand their Connect deployment, as needed, and can add subscriptions or licenses to upgrade to our full-featured Select offering and premium support services. In May 2017, we announced that our Aerohive Connect and Select offerings are available across our entire portfolio of access points and switches. We believe that separating our product line into these two offerings delivers compellingly priced cloud-managed hardware for connectivity-oriented deployments and enables us to capture more subscription and software license revenue from those customers who require a more advanced feature set and support.
Our business is seasonal, with our product revenue typically decreasing in our first quarter but sequentially increasing from our fiscal first to second quarter. This has generally been due to annual budget cycles in the enterprise and spending seasonality in the education vertical. The buying cycle for K-12 schools in the United States historically has driven strong sequential growth for us in the second quarter, which we also see typically carry over from our second quarter to our third quarter. We also historically have seen a sequential increase in revenue in our fourth quarter from our third quarter due to end-of-year spending by enterprise customers.
The seasonal variations in demand for our products and services in the education vertical continue to make it more difficult for us to predict revenue from our education vertical during a particular period during the year. For example, on October 13, 2016, we provided preliminary revenue for our third quarter ending September 30, 2016 and a preliminary revenue outlook for our fourth quarter ending December 31, 2016, which we further discussed on our November 2, 2016 earnings call. Our third quarter revenue was below the estimates of financial analysts at that time, as was the revenue outlook we provided at

21


that time for our fourth quarter. On February 14, 2017, we announced our revenue results for our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, which was below the revenue outlook we had provided for the period in November 2016.
We believe that the significantly slower pace of order volume in our education vertical in the third and fourth quarters of our fiscal year 2016, specifically due to slower pace of funding approvals under the federal E-Rate program, was one of the primary drivers of lower-than-expected order volume and revenue performance in our third quarter and our lowered revenue outlook for our fourth quarter. We also believe that we introduced our new HiveManager NG product to some of our larger and more complex customers before its feature set was able to fully address their requirements, which resulted in elongated sales cycles and reduced revenue opportunities, which specifically contributed to our lower revenue performance in the fourth quarter and our outlook for the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. We believe that the lower-level of E-Rate funded transactions and lengthier sales cycle associated with our HiveManager NG offering continues to affect our revenue opportunities and operating results in 2017.
We realize that our revenue-dependence on the volatile education market may continue to bring uncertainty to our results. For this reason, a priority for our business continues to be to expand and diversify our offerings and revenue opportunities into other verticals, with particular focus on enterprise customers. We also intend to continue to invest significant resources in developing of our innovative technologies and new product offerings, acquiring new end-customers in new and existing geographies, and increasing penetration within our existing end-customer base.
We also expect to continue to invest in our organization and our channel and strategic partnerships to meet the needs of our customers and to pursue opportunities in new and existing markets. In particular, we are investing to increase our sales capacity as well as our channel program. As such, we will continue to incur expenses in the near term, due to our continuing investments to grow our business, including internationally, in advance of and in preparation for our expected increase in sales and expansion of our customer base. As a result, we may not be profitable for the foreseeable future and our use of cash over this period could also be greater and extend over a longer period as we make investments in areas of our operations, such as sales, marketing and research and product and channel partner development, which we feel may promote our growth and profitability over the long term. We believe that over the long term, we will be able to leverage these investments in the form of a higher revenue growth rate compared to the growth rate of our operating expenses.

Revenue  
We derive revenue from the sales of our products and services, and we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We expect our revenue to vary from quarter to quarter based on seasonal and cyclical factors.
Our total revenue comprises the following:
Product Revenue.  We derive product revenue primarily from sales of our hardware products, which include wireless access points, branch routers, and switches, all of which are embedded with our proprietary operating system, HiveOS, and perpetual licenses for our unified network management system, HiveManager, and other software applications, as well as related accessories. We recognize product revenue at the time of shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. For our VAD arrangements where we permit our VADs to stock inventory, we recognize revenue when our VADs have shipped the products to our end-customers (or to VARs), provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Subscription and Support Revenue.  We derive subscription and support revenue primarily from sales of our subscription and support offerings that we deliver over a specified term. These offerings primarily include PCS related to our perpetual software licenses and subscriptions to HiveManager and other software applications delivered as SaaS, including related customer support, and from subsequent renewals of those contracts. To benefit fully from potential contract renewals, we plan to continue to invest in systems to better track existing customer support commitments and renewal opportunities and provide offerings which continue to be attractive to our customers. Our PCS includes tiered maintenance and support services under renewable, fee-based maintenance and support contracts, which include technical support, bug fixes, access to priority hardware replacement services and unspecified upgrades on a when-and-if available basis. Our SaaS subscriptions include comparable maintenance and support services. The higher the percentage of our end-customers that purchase SaaS subscriptions, as opposed to HiveManager and PCS, the higher our subscription and support revenue will be as a percentage of our total revenue. We recognize subscription and support revenue ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically one,

24


three or five years. As a result, our recognition of subscription and support revenue lags our recognition of related product revenue.

Revenue decreased $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, and decreased $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in product revenue, partially offset by an increase in software and subscriptions revenue.
The decrease in our product revenue of $7.5 million and $13.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, was primarily due to lower unit shipments and a decrease in list prices of our hardware products related to the Company's Connect and Select offerings.
The increase in our subscription and support revenue of $2.2 million and $4.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the same periods last year, was primarily due to an increase in sales of PCS and SaaS, including our HiveManager NG cloud-management platform, and our recognition of deferred revenue in the period.
The Americas and EMEA accounted for the majority of our total revenue in the respective periods. The decrease in revenue in our APAC region for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a decline in unit shipments in that region during the period.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenue includes the following:
Cost of Product Revenue.  Our cost of product revenue primarily includes manufacturing costs of our products payable to third-party manufacturers. Our cost of product revenue also includes personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, shipping costs, third-party logistics costs, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, warranty and

25


replacement costs, the depreciation and amortization of testing and imaging equipment, inbound license fees, certain allocated facilities and information technology infrastructure costs, and other expenses associated with logistics and quality control.
Cost of Subscription and Support Revenue.  Our cost of subscription and support revenue primarily includes personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, certain allocated facilities information technology infrastructure costs, costs associated with our provision of PCS and SaaS and datacenter costs. Our cost of subscription and support revenue also includes amortization of HiveManager NG, our internally developed, next-generation cloud-services platform, which we completed and launched in April 2015.

Cost of revenue decreased $1.7 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. We primarily attribute the decrease in our cost of product revenue to a decrease in unit shipments and changes in the mix of products we sold in the period. We primarily relate the increase in our cost of subscription and support revenue to an increase in software and services revenue and an increase in the cost of our cloud operations.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin or gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including product shipment volumes, average sales prices of our products, discounts we offer to our VAR and VAD partners, the mix of revenue between products and subscription and support services, and the mix of products we sold in the period, because our products have varying gross margins depending on the product offering and the lifecycle of the product. Historically, our subscription and support gross margin has been lower than our product gross margin; however, we expect our subscription and support gross margin to increase over the long term because we expect our subscription and support revenue to increase more quickly than our cost of subscription and support revenue. We expect our gross margin to be volatile and may decrease at any given time as we experience additional competitive pricing pressure. Further, we believe the pricing of our new Connect and Select offerings may dampen our product gross margin; however, we expect these offerings to generate improvements in our subscription and support gross margin as well as to increase our deferred revenue over the period.
