global innovation leaders in accessories and technologies that empower mobile
lifestyles, with a commitment to enhance every aspect of performance,
productivity, and durability in mobile devices with our creative product

film originally designed to protect the blades of military helicopters in harsh
desert conditions to protect consumers' mobile devices. Since then, we have
endeavored to continuously innovate and improve our products to meet changing
customer needs, and now offer a wide array of innovative products in several
product categories to protect, enhance, and create a better mobile device
experience. Mobile devices are essential to modern living and our mission is to
enable the optimal mobile lifestyle through the use of our products.
We have created a platform to combine category-creating and innovative brands
that we have acquired with our existing house of brands to address specific
consumer needs and better empower a mobile lifestyle. We have an award-winning
product portfolio that includes screen protection, protective cases, power
management, wireless charging, audio, mobile keyboards, and other mobile
accessories sold under the ZAGG®, InvisibleShield®, mophie®, IFROGZ®, Gear4®,

component in working toward our Corporate Objectives of providing Creative
Product Solutions, executing Targeted Global Distribution, achieving Operational
Excellence, and being The Preferred Brand for our customers.
Our Products
Our innovative products are included in the following general categories:
•Protection (screen protection and protective cases)
•Power (power stations and wireless chargers)
•Productivity and Other (keyboards and other mobile accessory products)
•Audio (earbuds and headphones)
These four general product categories are broken down by brand as follows:
InvisibleShield Products
InvisibleShield products, including InvisibleShield Film, InvisibleShield Glass,
and our InvisibleShield On Demand® ("ISOD") solution, are designed to provide
premium, lifetime protection for mobile device screens against shattering or
scratching through military-grade solutions. Our products are designed to
provide peace of mind by enabling consumers to enjoy their mobile devices
without the inconvenience of a shattered, cracked, or scratched screen. Our
protective InvisibleShield Film and InvisibleShield Glass products offer
consumers a wide array of protection types and features, all with a limited
lifetime warranty.
InvisibleShield Film was originally developed to protect the leading edge of
rotary blades on military helicopters in harsh environments. Through constant
innovation, we continue to formulate new film that is designed to offer the
highest standards in self-healing scratch and impact protection. Additionally,
we provide custom-fit screen protection for thousands of device types through
our automated ISOD solution. With our ISOD solution, retailers can supply
consumers with screen protection for nearly any device model, all without having
to hold excess inventory.
InvisibleShield Glass is designed to provide premium screen protection and
clarity, along with a superior feel and compatible touch sensitivity. Beside
these basic protection functions from impacts and scratches, we also provide the
InvisibleShield Glass VisionGuard products feature EyeSafe® technology that
filters out portions of the high-energy visible blue light spectrum emanating
from device screens, while maintaining the superior color performance of the
device display.
We have maintained the leading market share in screen protection in the United
States ("U.S.") and the United Kingdom ("U.K.") by consistently delivering
innovative InvisibleShield products to the market. We continue to innovate and
expand our screen protection products to meet the evolution of new technology
and consumer needs in the market.

Gear4 Products
Gear4 is a leader in smartphone cases with unique and stylish case designs,
unparalleled protection, and proven durability. With Gear4's beginnings in the
U.K., Gear4 grew to be one of the top selling U.K. smartphone case brands and
now has a global market for its products. Gear4 protective cases exclusively
feature D3O® technology, which is designed to provide the thinnest and most
advanced impact and shock absorption - the same material used in many
professional sports, industrial, and military equipment applications. In their
raw state, D3O materials can flow freely when manipulated slowly, but upon
shock, the material locks together to absorb and disperse energy before
instantly returning to their flexible state.
With D3O technology and our expansive global distribution channels, we believe
Gear4 cases can offer the best mobile device protection experience for our
customers and provide us with meaningful growth opportunities in our protection
product line.

made to ensure consumers have access to easy, fast, and convenient wireless
charging anywhere and anytime for Apple, Samsung®, Google, and other Qi-enabled
mobile devices.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented plans to simplify our
business and focus on profitable growth (the "Strategic Review"). As part of the
Strategic Review, we determined to discontinue participation in the fitted
battery case category and to reduce our mobile power offerings under our power
station product line.
We continue to innovate and expand our mobile power and wireless charging
product lines under the mophie brand to provide new product experiences that are
pleasing to consumers.

deliver the features consumers want, while eliminating those that needlessly
increase costs so that everyone can participate in our increasingly mobile
world.
In connection with the Strategic Review, we determined to reduce our IFROGZ
audio offerings to focus on the HSN channel.
ZAGG Products
Products under the ZAGG brand are designed to empower people to live their lives
unleashed. Mobility is changing how consumers do everything in their lives and
we seek to drive the mobile lifestyle forward with products that are designed to
allow consumers to be productive and connected at work, at play, and at rest.

cutting-edge design and innovation to provide portability, style, and
productivity that can keep up with even the most active mobile users. We support
the communicators, commuters, creators, and closers who live a mobile lifestyle.
With the right ZAGG mobile accessories, we believe no one ever needs to feel
tethered or held back.
In connection with the Strategic Review, we determined to reduce our ZAGG
keyboard offerings to focus only on active tablets released by Apple.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosures of these amounts in the notes to the financial
statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Our critical accounting policies and
estimates are discussed in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2019 Form 10-K. There have
been no material changes to the critical accounting policies or estimates
previously disclosed in that report.

Net sales
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020, were $115,456, compared
to net sales of $146,488 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a
decrease of $31,032 or 21%. The $31,032 decrease in net sales was primarily
attributable to retail store closures and related demand reductions due to the
global COVID-19 pandemic and the delay of the 2020 launch of Apple's newest
iPhones into the early fourth quarter of 2020.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $38,433 or
approximately 33% of net sales, compared to $54,345 or approximately 37% of net
sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in gross
profit margin percentage was primarily attributable to (1) increased freight
rates and expedited freight charges as we chased demand at the end of the third
quarter, and (2) the sale of excess inventory at margins lower than our
historical average. The decrease was partially offset by (1) lower duty rates
from the extensions of the screen protection and wireless charging exemptions to
the end of 2020, and (2) the recognition of expected duty refunds partially
offset by the reduction in capitalized duties which were expensed as inventory
was sold during the quarter.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020, were
$30,496, compared to operating expenses of $42,687 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019, a decrease of $12,191 or 29%. The $12,191 decrease in
operating expenses was primarily attributable to cost reduction initiatives in
response to COVID-19, including (1) a decrease in salaries and related expenses
from the furlough of certain employees, (2) reduced in-channel marketing spend,
and (3) the elimination of global discretionary spend.
Other expense, net
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, total other expense, net was $18
compared to total other expense, net of $1,683 for the three months ended
September 30, 2019. The change in other expense, net is primarily attributable
to an increase of gains on foreign exchange transactions.

Income tax provision
We recognized an income tax provision of $1,700 for the three months ended
September 30, 2020, compared to an income tax provision of $1,293 for the three
months ended September 30, 2019. Our effective tax rate was 21% and 13% for the
three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Any change in the
effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to
the three months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily due to the impact of
the methodology used in the current tax provision calculation above, as well as
an inclusion of an additional benefit related to the projected carryback of the
net operating loss ("NOL"). Under the CARES Act, a temporary five-year NOL
carryback enables most corporate taxpayers to offset 2015 income taxed at 35% by
2020 income taxed at 21%. This projected benefit is included in the effective
tax rate for the period. Due to the expected loss before taxes for the year
ended December 31, 2020, the tax benefit is limited to the expected annual tax
benefit for the year. The Company's effective tax rate will generally differ
from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21%, due to state taxes, permanent
items, the Company's global tax strategy, and the inclusion of global intangible
low taxed income and the corresponding foreign tax credit.
Net income
We reported net income of $6,219 or $0.21 per share on a fully diluted basis for
the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to net income of $8,682 or
$0.30 per share on a fully diluted basis for the three months ended
September 30, 2019.

Net sales
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, were $283,554, compared
to net sales of $332,034 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a
decrease of $48,480 or 15%. The $48,480 decrease in net sales was primarily
attributable to retail store closures and related demand reductions due to the
global COVID-19 pandemic and the delay of the 2020 launch of Apple's newest
iPhones into the early fourth quarter of 2020.
Gross profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, was $42,803 or
approximately 15% of net sales, compared to $115,926 or approximately 35% of net
sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit
margin percentage was primarily attributable to (1) the March 2020 inventory
write-downs of $44,833 primarily linked to the discontinuation of certain brands
and product lines resulting from our Strategic Review, combined with decreased
demand due to the effects of COVID-19, (2) increased freight rates and expedited
freight charges, and (3) the sale of excess inventory at margins lower than our
historical average. Excluding the impact from the inventory write-downs, the
adjusted gross profit margin was 31% for the nine months ended September 30,
2020, compared to 35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, were
$123,306, compared to operating expenses of $127,547 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019, a decrease of $4,241 or 3%. The $4,241 decrease in operating
expenses was primarily attributable to cost reduction initiatives in response to
COVID-19, including (1) a decrease in salaries and related expenses from the
furlough of certain employees, elimination of bonuses in the second quarter of
2020, and reductions in salary of executives and senior management, (2) reduced
in-channel marketing spend, and (3) the elimination of global discretionary
spend. The decrease was partially offset by (1) an $18,649 impairment charge to
goodwill resulting from the carrying value of our net assets exceeding our
market capitalization, (2) a $2,535 charge from the write-off of product tooling
linked to discontinued brands and product lines, (3) a $1,148 write-off recorded
for the intangible assets resulting from discontinued brands and product lines,
and (4) $786 incurred in connection with the lay-off of certain employees in
2020.

Other expense, net
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total other expense, net was
$2,289 compared to total other expense, net of $3,120 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019. The decrease in total other expense, net is primarily
attributable to an increase of gains on foreign exchange transactions.
Income tax provision
We recognized an income tax benefit of $10,123 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, compared to an income tax benefit of $3,663 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2019. Our effective tax rate was 12% and 25% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The change in the
effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the
nine months ended September 30, 2019, was primarily due to the impact of the
methodology used in the current tax provision calculation above as well as an

corporate taxpayers to offset 2015 income taxed at 35% by 2020 income taxed at

2020, the tax benefit is limited to the expected annual tax benefit for the

Federal statutory rate of 21%, due to state taxes, permanent items, the
Company's global tax strategy, and the inclusion of global intangible low taxed
income and the corresponding foreign tax credit.
Net loss
We reported net loss of $72,669 or $2.44 per share on a fully diluted basis for
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of $11,078 or
$0.38 per share on a fully diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30,
2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Amounts in thousands)
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash
to meet both our current and future obligations, including ongoing commitments
to fund continuing operations and capital expenditures, repay our debt, purchase
treasury shares, and acquire businesses. As of September 30, 2020, our principal
sources of liquidity were cash generated by operations and proceeds received
from the PPP Loan (as defined below). Our principal uses of cash were primarily
for repayment of the 2018 Revolver (as defined below), contingent liability
payments in connection with the acquisition of HALO, and working capital needs.
As of December 31, 2019, our principal sources of liquidity was net borrowings
from the 2018 Revolver. Our principal uses of cash were for operating
activities, purchase of property and equipment, payments for the net share
settlement of restricted stock units, purchase of treasury shares, and business
acquisitions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents on-hand decreased to $16,115 on September 30, 2020,
from $17,801 on December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,686. The decrease in cash is
largely the result of $19,485 net payments against the 2018 Revolver, partially
offset by $17,875 provided by operating activities and $9,444 of proceeds
received from the PPP Loan to cover employee payroll costs, rent, and utilities
during the initial severe impact period of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided from operating activities was $17,875 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020, compared to $24,803 of net cash used in operating
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a net change of
$42,678. The change was primarily due to (1) a decrease in use of cash for
inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2019, and (2) higher collections on accounts
receivable resulting in a lower balance of receivables for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These
increases were partially offset by an increase in cash used to pay our vendors.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $5,495 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, compared to $27,364 of net cash used in investing activities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a net change of $21,869. The
change was primarily due to $20,364 of cash used in the acquisition of HALO in
2019 and decreased spending in purchases of property and equipment for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $14,297 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020, compared to $51,451 of net cash provided by financing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a net change of
$65,748. The change was primarily due to a higher ratio of net payments made on
the 2018 Revolver relative to net proceeds received from that revolving credit
facility for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to a higher
ratio of net proceeds received from the 2018 Revolver relative to net payments
made on that revolving credit facility for the nine months ended September 30,
2019, partially offset by proceeds received from the PPP Loan.
Working Capital
Working capital is a non-GAAP measurement which is defined by us as current
assets less current liabilities. As of September 30, 2020, working capital was
$102,931 compared to $151,660 as of December 31, 2019, a decrease of $48,729.
The decrease in the working capital position was primarily attributable to
changes in accounts receivable, inventories, including a $44,833 write-down of
inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, accounts payable and
sales returns liability.
Accounts receivable, net of allowances, decreased to $91,196 on September 30,
2020, from $142,804 on December 31, 2019, a decrease of $51,608. The net
decrease was primarily attributable to the collection of accounts receivable
since year-end combined with lower sales during the third quarter of 2020 in
comparison to the fourth quarter of 2019.
Inventories decreased to $80,024 on September 30, 2020, from $144,944 on
December 31, 2019, a decrease of $64,920. The net decrease was primarily
attributable to a write-down of $44,833 of inventory due primarily by the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Strategic Review conducted by
management in response, and an increased focus on driving operational efficiency
in inventory management.
Accounts payable decreased to $60,142 on September 30, 2020, from $87,303 on
December 31, 2019, a decrease of $27,161. The net decrease was primarily
attributable to lower seasonal inventory purchases and operating activities in
the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in comparison to the fourth quarter of
2019, and payment on accounts payable outstanding on December 31, 2019, during
the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In addition, in response to COVID-19
pandemic, we implemented several initiatives to control operating costs which
has decreased the accounts payable balance as of September 30, 2020.
Share Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2015, our board of directors approved a stock
repurchase program with no expiration date. On March 11, 2019, our board of
directors authorized the cancellation of the 2015 stock repurchase program, and
authorized a new stock repurchase program that grants us the right to repurchase
up to $20,000 of our outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2020, we have
$20,000 remaining under this program.
Debt and Credit Facilities
We entered into the 2018 Credit and Security Agreement, as amended, to obtain a
secured revolving credit facility (the "2018 Revolver") and letters of credit.
We use the net borrowing from the 2018 Revolver for general corporate purposes,
including funding for working capital, purchase of property and equipment,
purchase of treasury shares and business acquisitions. As of September 30, 2020,
we had $87,655 of the 2018 Revolver outstanding, with a weighted average
interest rate of 2.8%. There were no letters of credit issued as of
September 30, 2020, and $57,145 was available to be issued for letters of
credit. In addition, we entered into a loan agreement with KeyBank National
Association ("KeyBank") under the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act
administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA"), and
subsequently received a loan in the amount of $9,444 (the "PPP Loan").

These items are further discussed in Note 8, "Long-Term Debt," to our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and are
hereby incorporated by reference.
Company Actions Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced a reduction in demand
as over 84% of our sales occur through brick and mortar retail or franchise
locations. In order to meet short and long-term capital needs and to comply with
debt covenant requirements under the 2018 Revolver throughout 2020 and beyond,
we instituted a number of global cash savings and cost-cutting initiatives
including the following:
•Implemented furloughs or lay-offs of approximately 20% of U.S. employees and
reduced our Europe and Asia Pacific staff, excluding China, by approximately
20%. Employees on furlough have retained their health insurance coverage
throughout the furlough;
•Temporarily reduced salaries during the second quarter of 2020, including a 15%
reduction for our Chief Executive Officer, 10% reductions for the rest of the
executive team and 5% reductions for senior management;
•Temporarily reduced the cash portion of the Board of Directors' compensation by
15% in 2020 and replaced such compensation with stock-based compensation;
•Temporarily suspended our employee bonus program for the three months ended
June 30, 2020;
•Significantly reduced marketing spend throughout the remainder of 2020;
•Deferred or cancelled spending on all non-essential projects;
•Delayed or cancelled certain purchase orders to align with our adjusted demand
forecast;
•Limited travel of employees internationally and domestically throughout the
remainder of 2020;
•Discontinued the BRAVEN audio brand;
•Discontinued the fitted battery case product category; and
•Simplified our iFrogz audio, ZAGG keyboard and mophie power station businesses,
including reducing SKU counts and discontinuing certain product lines.
The Company continues to evaluate this evolving business environment due to the
COVID-19 pandemic and may institute additional cash savings and cost-cutting
initiatives in future periods.
In addition to the cash savings and cost-cutting initiatives, we closed on an
amendment to the 2018 Revolver to increase our line of credit capacity by
$19,800 through March 31, 2021. In addition, we obtained the PPP Loan to help
cover our employee payroll costs, rent, and utilities during the initial severe
impact period of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the Paycheck Protection Program,
the PPP Loan is fully forgivable if the Company meets certain requirements and
receives formal approval, as defined by the CARES Act, subject to an audit by
the SBA. The Company intends to seek partial or full forgiveness of the PPP
Loan; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will obtain
forgiveness of all or part of the PPP Loan amount. The interest rate for the PPP
Loan is 1% per annum, and all required payments are deferred until August 2021
(interest will accrue over this deferral period). Unless the PPP Loan is fully
or partially forgiven, the Company must pay $398 of the principal and interest
every month once the deferral period is over and pay a balloon payment of $6,441
on the maturity date in April 2022, which is two years from the Disbursement
Date.
We believe that the combination of the (1) cash savings and cost reduction
initiatives, (2) expansion of the credit capacity under the 2018 Revolver, (3)
the proceeds of the PPP Loan, and (4) cash on hand will be adequate to meet our
expected capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next 12 months
and beyond.
We believe that the measures and initiatives discussed above will enable us to
meet our financial obligations and continue to build our business. However, we
operate in a rapidly evolving and often unpredictable business environment,
which is currently exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, that may change the
timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly,
we may need to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt
securities or from debt facilities. Additional capital, if needed, may not be
available on satisfactory terms, if at all.
