VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC.VIAV
VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC. Segments Disclosure
Note 19. Operating Segments and Geographic Information
The Company evaluates its operating segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance on segment reporting. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer as the Company’s CODM uses operating segment financial information to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources.
The Company’s operating and reportable segments are:
(i) Network and Service Enablement:
NSE provides an integrated portfolio of testing, monitoring, assurance and security solutions to help build, maintain, and optimize telecom and datacom networks. Our solutions address lab and production environments, network management, service assurance and AIOps for any kind of network, including wireless, wireline, cloud, satellite, public safety, military and critical infrastructure. NSE also offers a range of product support and professional services such as repair, calibration, software support and technical assistance for its products.
(ii) Optical Security and Performance Products:
OSP leverages its core optical coating technologies and volume manufacturing capability to design, manufacture, and sell technologies for the anti-counterfeiting, 3D sensing, government and aerospace, automotive and industrial markets.
Effective March 30, 2025, the Company realigned its segment reporting structure. As a result, the company’s Network Enablement (NE) and Service Enablement (SE) business activities are now reported as a single operating and reportable segment, NSE. Recent acquisitions have reduced the SE segment revenue as a percentage of total VIAVI revenue. In addition, NE and SE are managed under common leadership, share many of the same customers and suppliers and operating expenses associated with the NSE business are not exclusively allocated to either NE or SE. The Company has applied this change retrospectively in the disclosures herein.
Segment Reporting
The CODM manages the Company in two broad business categories: NSE and OSP. The CODM evaluates segment performance of the NSE and OSP business based on segment operating margins. The CODM uses segment operating margin to make budgeting and forecasting decisions and to assess the performance of our segments, primarily by monitoring actual results versus the prior year, the annual budget and forecasted results. In addition, the CODM reviews inventory levels by segment. The Company allocates corporate-level operating expenses to its segment results, except for certain non-core operating and non-operating activities as discussed below.
The Company does not allocate stock-based compensation, acquisition and integrated related charges, amortization of acquisition related intangibles, amortization of acquisition related inventory step-up, legal settlements, restructuring, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, non-operating income and expenses, or other charges unrelated to core operating performance to its segments because management does not include this information in its measurement of the performance of the operating segments. These items are presented as “Unallocated other expenses” in the table below. Additionally, the Company does not specifically identify and allocate all assets by operating segment.
Information on the Company’s reportable segments is as follows (in millions):

For example, certain customers may request shipment of the Company’s product to a contract manufacturer in one country, which may differ from the location of their end customers.
The following table presents net revenue by the three geographic regions in which the Company operates and net revenue from countries that exceeded 10% of the Company’s total net revenue for the years ended June 28, 2025, June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 (in millions):

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
