Impact of COVID-19
OnMarch 11, 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, which continues to spread rapidly in theU.S. and globally. Governmental authorities have implemented numerous containment measures, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business restrictions and shutdowns, resulting in rapidly changing market and economic conditions. While the severity and duration of business disruption to our customers and suppliers due to the COVID-19 pandemic is currently uncertain, we expect that it will adversely impact our business and consolidated results of operations in the near term and may impact our financial condition (including liquidity) in the future. While we have not incurred significant disruptions thus far from the COVID-19 outbreak, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact COVID-19 will have on our future results due to numerous uncertainties, including the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, a potential future recurrence of the outbreak, further containment actions that may be taken by governmental authorities, the impact to the businesses of our customers and suppliers and other factors. We will continue to evaluate the nature and scope of the impact to our business, consolidated results of operations, and financial condition, and may take further actions altering our business operations and managing our costs and liquidity that we deem necessary or appropriate to respond to this fast moving and uncertain global health crisis and the resulting global economic consequences.
Overview
We are a leading worldwide developer and supplier of custom-designed human interface semiconductor product solutions that enable people to interact more easily and intuitively with a wide variety of mobile computing, communications, entertainment, and other electronic devices. We currently generate revenue from the markets for smartphones, tablets, personal computer, or PC, products, primarily notebook computers, Internet of Things, or IoT, products which include smart devices with voice, speech and video solutions, and other select electronic devices, including devices in automobiles, with our custom human interface solutions. The solutions we deliver either contain or consist of our touch-, display driver-, fingerprint authentication-based-, voice and speech-, or video-semiconductor solutions, which include our chip, customer-specific firmware, and software. Many of our customers have manufacturing operations inChina , and many of our OEM customers have established design centers inAsia . With our expanding global presence, including offices inChina ,Hong Kong ,India ,Japan ,Korea ,Switzerland ,Taiwan , andthe United States , we are well positioned to provide local sales, operational, and engineering support services to our existing customers, as well as potential new customers, on a global basis. 26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our manufacturing operations are based on a variable cost model in which we outsource all of our production requirements and generally drop ship our products directly to our customers from our contract manufacturers' facilities, eliminating the need for significant capital expenditures and allowing us to minimize our investment in inventories. This approach requires us to work closely with our contract manufacturers and semiconductor fabricators to ensure adequate production capacity to meet our forecasted volume requirements. We provide our contract manufacturers with six-month rolling forecasts and issue purchase orders based on our anticipated requirements for the next 90 days. However, we generally do not have long-term supply contracts with our contract manufacturers. We use third-party wafer manufacturers to supply wafers and third-party packaging manufacturers to package our proprietary ASICs. In certain cases, we rely on a single source or a limited number of suppliers to provide other key components of our products. Our cost of revenue includes all costs associated with the production of our products, including materials; logistics; amortization of intangibles related to acquired developed technology; backlog; supplier arrangements; manufacturing, assembly, and test costs paid to third-party manufacturers; and related overhead costs associated with our indirect manufacturing operations personnel. Additionally, we charge all warranty costs, losses on inventory purchase obligations, and write-downs to reduce the carrying value of obsolete, slow moving, and non-usable inventory to net realizable value, to cost of revenue. Our gross margin generally reflects the combination of the added value we bring to our OEM customers' products by meeting their custom design requirements and the impact of our ongoing cost-improvement programs. These cost-improvement programs include reducing materials and component costs and implementing design and process improvements. Our newly introduced products may have lower margins than our more mature products, which have realized greater benefits associated with our ongoing cost-improvement programs. As a result, new product introductions may initially negatively impact our gross margin. Our research and development expenses include costs for supplies and materials related to product development, as well as the engineering costs incurred to design ASICs and human interface solutions for OEM customers prior to and after our OEMs' commitment to incorporate those solutions into their products. In addition, we expense in-process research and development projects acquired as asset acquisitions, which have not yet reached technological feasibility, and which have no foreseeable alternative future use. We continue to commit to the technological and design innovation required to maintain our position in our existing markets, and to adapt our existing technologies or develop new technologies for new markets.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses include expenses related to sales, marketing, and administrative personnel; internal sales and outside sales representatives' commissions; market and usability research; outside legal, accounting, and consulting costs; and other marketing and sales activities.
Acquired intangibles amortization, included in operating expenses, consists primarily of amortization of customer relationship and tradenames intangible assets recognized under the purchase method for business combinations.
Restructuring costs primarily reflect severance and facilities consolidation costs related to the restructuring of our operations to reduce operating expenses. These headcount and facilities related costs were in cost of revenue, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Interest and other expense, net, primarily reflects interest expense on our convertible notes as well as the amortization of debt issuance costs and discount on our convertible notes, partially offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents as well as impairment recovery on investments.
Equity investment loss includes amortization of intangible assets as well as our
portion of the net loss reflected under the equity method of accounting in
connection with our investment in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Divestiture
InDecember 2019 , we entered into an asset purchase agreement with a third party to sell the assets of our LCD Touch Controller and Display Driver Integration, or TDDI, product line for LCD mobile displays. We will retain our automotive TDDI product line and our discrete touch and discrete display driver product lines supporting LCD and OLED for the mobile market. Subject to certain post-closing adjustments and indemnification obligations, the aggregate consideration payable by the buyer will be$120.0 million in cash, the dollar value of specified inventory at a purchase price of standard cost plus 5% in cash, and the assumption of certain liabilities, as set forth in the asset purchase agreement. The assets sold under the asset purchase agreement, have a preliminary carrying value of approximately$30.1 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , and have been included as$12.5 million of current assets held for sale and$17.6 million of non-current assets held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The transaction closed in accordance with the terms of the asset purchase agreement inApril 2020 for cash consideration of$120.0 million plus a preliminary inventory amount of$19.4 million .

Of this net revenue,$176.6 million , or 53.9%, was from Mobile product applications,$72.6 million , or 22.1%, was from IoT product applications, and$78.9 million , or 24.0%, was from PC product applications. The decrease in net revenue for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to a decrease in net revenue from Mobile product applications, partially offset by an increase in net revenue from PC product applications and IoT product applications. Net revenue from Mobile product applications decreased as a result of a decline in units sold (which decreased 12.9%) as well as slightly lower average selling prices for Mobile product applications. Net revenue from PC product applications increased due to a growth in units sold (which increased 13.0%) for PC product applications as well as higher average selling prices (which increased 5.5%). Net revenue from IoT product applications increased as a result of an increase in units sold (which increased 29.7%), partially offset by lower average selling prices for IoT product applications (which decreased 11.3%). Net revenue was$1,056.3 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared with$1,177.1 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 , a decrease of$120.8 million , or 10.3%. Of this net revenue,$578.6 million , or 54.8%, was from Mobile product applications,$249.4 million , or 23.6%, was from IoT product applications, and$228.3 million , or 21.6%, was from PC product applications. The decrease in net revenue for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 was primarily attributable to a decrease in net revenue from Mobile product applications, partially offset by an increase in net revenue from PC product applications and IoT product applications. Net revenue from Mobile product applications decreased as a result of a decline in units sold (which decreased 21.7%) as well as slightly lower average selling prices for Mobile product applications. Net revenue from PC product applications increased due to higher average selling prices (which increased 10.6%) as well as a small increase in units sold. Net revenue from IoT product applications increased as a result of an increase in units sold (which increased 12.9%), partially offset by lower average selling prices for IoT product applications.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue was 41.3%, or$135.6 million , for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared with 34.7%, or$116.0 million , for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The 660 basis point increase in gross margin for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 , was primarily due to a favorable product mix, and product cost reductions, and a$7.1 million decrease in amortization for amortizable intangibles which are now fully amortized. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue was 39.9%, or$421.1 million , for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared with 34.6%, or$406.7 million , for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The 530 basis point increase in gross margin for 29
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , was primarily due to a favorable product mix, and product cost reductions, and a$15.7 million decrease in amortization for amortizable intangibles which are now fully amortized. We continually introduce new product solutions and we sell our technology solutions in designs that are generally unique or specific to an OEM customer's application, causing gross margin to vary on a product-by-product basis, making our cumulative gross margin a blend of our product-specific designs. As a fabless semiconductor company, our gross margin percentage is generally not materially impacted by our shipment volume. We charge losses on inventory purchase obligations and write-downs to reduce the carrying value of obsolete, slow moving, and non-usable inventory to net realizable value (including warranty costs) to cost of revenue.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased$6.8 million to$75.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared with the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The decrease in research and development expenses primarily reflected a net$1.1 million decrease in personnel-related costs, which was due to a decrease in average headcount for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 , as a result of restructuring activities to reduce operating costs; a$2.9 million decrease in non-employee services; and a$1.2 million decrease in project related costs. The decrease in personnel-related costs was partially offset by$2.1 million of retention program costs with key engineering and management employees designed to ensure operational continuity and support as we transition the Company through senior level management and product focus changes. Research and development expenses decreased$18.1 million to$238.8 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared with the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The decrease in research and development expenses primarily reflected a net$5.0 million decrease in personnel-related costs which was due to a decrease in average headcount for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 as compared to the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 , as a result of restructuring activities to reduce operating costs; a$5.9 million decrease in non-employee services; a$4.6 million decrease in infrastructure costs related to facilities; a$3.3 million decrease in project related costs. The decrease in personnel-related costs was partially offset by$6.6 million of retention program costs with key engineering and management employees designed to ensure operational continuity and support as we transition the Company through senior level management and product focus changes. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased$2.6 million to$31.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared with the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily reflected a$1.8 million decrease in non-employee services. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased$13.0 million to$90.6 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , compared with the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses primarily reflected a net$6.9 million decrease in personnel-related costs which was primarily due to a reduction in headcount as a result of restructuring activities to reduce operating costs; a$4.1 million decrease in non-employee services. The decrease in personnel-related costs was partially offset by$3.9 million of retention program costs with key management employees designed to ensure operational continuity and support as we transition the Company through senior level management and product focus changes. Acquired Intangibles Amortization. Acquired intangibles amortization reflects the amortization of intangibles acquired through acquisitions. For further discussion of acquired intangibles amortization, see Note 7 Acquired Intangibles andGoodwill included in the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. Restructuring Costs. Restructuring costs of$26.2 million in the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 reflect severance costs for restructuring of our operations to reduce ongoing operating costs, which commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020. The restructuring activities are expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. See Note 16 Restructuring Activities included in the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report. Interest and Other Expense, Net. Interest and other expense, net primarily includes the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, as well as interest on our debt, partially offset by interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents as well as impairment recovery on investments. Interest and other expense, net decreased$1.4 million to$9.1 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , as compared to$10.5 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 . The decrease in interest and other expense, net is primarily due to an increase in interest income as a result of higher cash balances and interest rates, partially offset by higher non-cash interest expense on our convertible debt. Provision for Income Taxes. OnMarch 27, 2020 , the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security, or CARES, Act was enacted and signed into law. We do not believe the CARES Act will have a material impact on the income tax provision for the fiscal year endedJune 30, 2020 . 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. The provision for income taxes recorded in interim periods is recorded by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income before provision for income taxes, excluding the effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. The tax effects of discrete items are recorded in the same period that the related discrete items are reported and results in a difference between the actual effective tax rate and the estimated annual effective tax rate. The provision for income taxes of$10.2 million and a benefit of$15.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 diverged from the combinedU.S. federal and state statutory tax rate primarily because of foreign withholding taxes, income taxed at higher tax rates, the impact of accounting for qualified stock options and global intangible low-taxed income, or GILTI, partially offset by the benefit of research credits and foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate for the three months endedMarch 31, 2019 , diverged from the combinedU.S. federal and state statutory tax rate, primarily because of foreign withholding taxes, the impact of accounting for qualified stock options, foreign deemed paid taxes, foreign income taxed at higher tax rates, and GILTI, partially offset by the benefit of research credits, foreign tax credits, and foreign-derived intangible income deduction. The provision for income taxes of$17.3 million and the benefit for income taxes of$8.1 million for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, represented estimated federal, foreign, and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 diverged from the combinedU.S. federal and state statutory tax rate primarily because of foreign withholding taxes, income taxed at higher tax rates, the impact of accounting for qualified stock options and GILTI, partially offset by the benefit of research credits and foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 , diverged from the combinedU.S. federal and state statutory tax rate, because of foreign withholding taxes, the impact of accounting for qualified stock options, foreign deemed-paid taxes, foreign income taxed at higher tax rates and GILTI, partially offset by the benefit of research credits, release of reserves related to uncertain tax positions, the impact of net shortfalls in share-based compensation deduction, foreign tax credits and foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents were$472.1 million as ofMarch 31, 2020 , compared with$327.8 million as ofJune 30, 2019 , an increase of$144.3 million . The increase primarily reflected$168.3 million of net cash provided by operating activities,$30.0 million of net proceeds from issuance of shares, partially offset by$30.1 million used to repurchase 813,082 shares of our common stock,$11.7 million used for the purchase of property and equipment,$9.3 million used for payroll taxes on DSUs, and$2.5 million used for an asset acquisition completed inAugust 2019 . At this time, we consider earnings of our foreign subsidiaries indefinitely invested overseas and have made no provision for income or withholding taxes, other than the one-time transition tax incurred as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, that may result from a future repatriation of those earnings. As ofMarch 31, 2020 ,$191.6 million of cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds are needed for our operations inthe United States , we would be required to accrue and payU.S. and foreign taxes to repatriate these funds. Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Operating activities during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 generated$168.3 million compared with$110.8 million net cash generated during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 . For the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , the primary operating activities were adjustments for non-cash charges of$119.0 million and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of$20.5 million . The net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to a$50.7 million decrease in inventory and a$17.4 million increase in accrued compensation, partially offset by a$27.4 million decrease in other accrued liabilities, a$8.4 million increase in accounts receivable, net, a decrease of$8.6 million in accounts payable and a decrease of$5.3 million in income taxes payable. FromJune 30, 2019 toMarch 31, 2020 , our days sales outstanding decreased from 70 days to 65 days due to a larger percentage of the quarter's net revenue occurring late in theJune 30, 2019 quarter compared with a smaller percentage of the quarter's net revenue occurring late in theMarch 31, 2020 quarter. Our annual inventory turns increased from five to eight, which was driven by the classification of$12.5 million of inventory as current assets held for sale (which had an impact of 1 turn) as well as stronger product demand throughout the quarter. Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 consisted of$11.7 million for purchases of property and equipment and$2.5 million used for an asset acquisition completed inAugust 2019 . Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 was$9.6 million compared with$73.1 million used in financing activities for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2019 . Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 was related to$30.1 million used to repurchase 813,082 shares of our common stock and$9.3 million used for payroll taxes on DSUs, partially offset by$30.0 of proceeds from issuance of shares. Common Stock Repurchase Program. As ofMarch 31, 2020 , our board has cumulatively authorized$1.4 billion for our common stock repurchase program, which will expire inJuly 2021 . The program authorizes us to purchase our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending upon market conditions and other factors. The number of shares 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- purchased and the timing of purchases are based on the level of our cash balances, general business and market conditions, and other factors. Common stock purchased under this program is held as treasury stock. FromApril 2005 throughMarch 31, 2020 , we purchased 31,747,295 shares of our common stock in the open market for an aggregate cost of$1.2 billion . During the nine months endedMarch 31, 2020 , we repurchased 813,082 shares of our common stock for a total cost of$30.1 million . As ofMarch 31, 2020 , the remaining available authorization under our common stock repurchase program was$177.5 million .
Convertible Debt
OnJune 20, 2017 , we entered into a purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, withWells Fargo Securities, LLC , as representative of the initial purchasers named therein, collectively, the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, and the Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase,$500 million aggregate principal amount of our 0.50% convertible senior notes due 2022, or the Notes, in a private placement transaction. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we also granted the Initial Purchasers a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional$25 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, which was exercised in full onJune 21, 2017 . The net proceeds, after deducting the Initial Purchasers' discounts, were$514.5 million , which included proceeds from the Initial Purchasers' exercise of their option to purchase additional Notes. We received the net proceeds onJune 26, 2017 , which we used to repurchase shares of our common stock, retire our outstanding bank debt, and provide additional cash resources to fund the acquisition ofConexant Systems, LLC and the assets of Marvell Technology Group, Ltd.'s multimedia solutions business. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.50% per year. Interest has accrued sinceJune 26, 2017 and is payable semi-annually in arrears, onJune 15 andDecember 15 of each year, beginning onDecember 15, 2017 . The Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to any of our indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; equal in right of payment to any our liabilities that are not so subordinated; effectively junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and structurally junior to all indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries.
The Notes mature on
Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of$1,000 principal amounts, at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately precedingMarch 15, 2022 under certain defined circumstances. On or afterMarch 15, 2022 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of$1,000 principal amounts, at the option of the holder. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, at our election, shares of common stock, cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock. The conversion rate for the Notes is initially 13.6947 shares of common stock per$1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately$73.02 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Notes indenture), holders of the Notes may require us to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. We may not redeem the Notes prior toJune 20, 2020 . We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at our option, on or afterJune 20, 2020 , if the last reported sale price of our common stock, as determined by us, has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Our policy is to settle the principal amount of our Notes with cash upon conversion or redemption. Bank Credit Facility. We have a$200.0 million revolving credit facility, pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, datedSeptember 27, 2017 , or the Credit Agreement, which includes a$20 million sublimit for letters of credit and a$20 million sublimit for swingline loans. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, request increases in the revolving credit facility commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to$100 million to the extent existing or new lenders agree to provide such increased or additional commitments, as applicable. Proceeds under the revolving credit facility are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. InFebruary 2020 , we entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, or the Amendment, with the lenders that are party thereto, or the Lenders, andWells Fargo Bank, National Association , as administrative agent for the Lenders. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) modify the definition of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to increase the maximum limit on the add back of certain restructuring 32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and integration cost and expenses to 30% from 15% of Consolidated EBITDA, (ii) modify the negative covenant for Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the end of any fiscal quarter to 4.75:1.00 from 3.50:1.00, and for any four quarter period following a Material Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to 5:00:1.00 from 3.75:1.00, (iii) modify the circumstances under which the maturity date of the Credit Agreement would be accelerated in advance of the maturity date of the Notes to eliminate the acceleration of the maturity date of the Credit Agreement if we meet certain specified leverage and liquidity covenants, (iv) add a minimum liquidity covenant for each two-week period beginning on the date that is 120 days prior to the maturity date of the Company's existing convertible senior notes, (v) add certain technical amendments to address LIBOR transition matters, and (vi) include or revise certain definitions and certain customary representation, warranties and acknowledgments.
As of
The revolving credit facility is required to be repaid in full on the earlier of (i)September 27, 2022 , and (ii) the date 91 days prior to the Maturity Date of the Notes if the Notes have not been refinanced in full by such date, subject to certain exceptions based on specific covenant calculations. Debt issuance costs of$2.3 million relating to the revolving credit facility will be amortized over 60 months Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material domestic subsidiaries of our Company, subject to certain exceptions (such material subsidiaries, together with our Company, collectively, the Credit Parties). The obligations of the Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other loan documents delivered in connection therewith are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Credit Parties, including, without limitation, 65% of the voting capital stock of certain of the Credit Parties' direct foreign subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The revolving credit facility bears interest at our election of a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin or LIBOR plus an Applicable Margin. Swingline loans bear interest at a Base Rate plus an Applicable Margin. The Base Rate is a floating rate that is the greater of the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, or LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The Applicable Margin is based on a sliding scale which ranges from 0.25 to 100 basis points for Base Rate loans and 100 basis points to 175 basis points for LIBOR loans. We are required to pay a commitment fee on any unused commitments under the Credit Agreement which is determined on a leverage-based sliding scale ranging from 0.175% to 0.25% per annum. Interest and fees are payable on a quarterly basis. The LIBOR index is expected to be discontinued at the end of 2021. Under our credit facility, when the LIBOR index is discontinued, we will switch to a comparable or successor rate as selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company, which may include the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR. Under the Credit Agreement, there are various restrictive covenants, including three financial covenants which limit the consolidated total leverage ratio, or leverage ratio, the consolidated interest coverage ratio, or interest coverage ratio, a restriction which places a limit on the amount of capital expenditures that may be made in any fiscal year, a restriction that permits up to$50 million per fiscal quarter of accounts receivable financings, and sets the Specified Leverage Ratio. The leverage ratio is the ratio of debt as of the measurement date to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, for the four consecutive quarters ending with the quarter of measurement. The current leverage ratio shall not exceed 4.75 to 1.00 provided that for the four fiscal quarters ending after the date of a material acquisition, such maximum leverage ratio shall be adjusted to 5.0 to 1.00, and thereafter 4.75 to 1.0. The interest coverage ratio is EBITDA to interest expense for the four consecutive quarters ending with the quarter of measurement. The interest coverage ratio must not be less than 3.50 to 1.0 during the term of the Credit Agreement. The Specified Leverage Ratio is the ratio used in determining, among other things, whether we are permitted to make dividends and/or prepay certain indebtedness, at a fixed ratio of 2.25 to 1.00.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Although consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic uncertainty could adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources in the future, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flows from operating activities, and available credit under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and other cash requirements, including our debt service obligations, for at least the next 12 months. OnApril 2, 2020 , the Company borrowed$100 million under the Credit Agreement in order to increase its cash position and preserve financial flexibility out of an abundance of caution as a result of the ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the global markets driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue, the length, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, costs associated with restructuring activities net of projected savings from those activities, costs related to protecting our intellectual property, the expansion of sales and marketing 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- activities, timing of introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products, costs to ensure access to adequate manufacturing, costs of maintaining sufficient space for our workforce, the continuing market acceptance of our product solutions, our common stock repurchase program, and the amount and timing of our investments in, or acquisitions of, other technologies or companies. Further equity or debt financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If sufficient funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our future long-term working capital needs, take advantage of business opportunities or to respond to competitive pressures could be limited or severely constrained. Based on our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents, our expected operating cash flows, and our other sources of cash, we do not currently anticipate the need to remit undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to meet our working capital and other cash requirements, but if we did remit such earnings, we may be required to accrue and pay certain state and foreign taxes to repatriate these funds, which would adversely impact our financial position and results of operations.
