NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Other Information

Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (“Shentel”, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”) is a provider of a comprehensive
range of broadband communication services and cell tower colocation space in the Mid-Atlantic portion of the United States.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. All normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. As discussed in Notes 1 and 16 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, (the "2021 Form 10-K"), the Company determined that an immaterial error existed in our previously issued financial statements. As such, the Company revised its historical unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Refer to the table below for a summary of these revisions.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis we evaluate significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives of assets, intangible assets subject to amortization, and the computation of income taxes. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained, and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Management evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Adoption of New Accounting Principles

Table of Contents
In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-10, “Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance,” ("ASU 2021-10") which requires entities to provide disclosures on material government assistance transactions for annual reporting periods. The disclosures include information about the nature of the assistance, the related accounting policies used to account for government assistance, the effect of government assistance on the entity’s financial statements and any significant terms and conditions of the agreements, including commitments and contingencies. On July 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2021-10 and have included the new disclosure requirements in Note 11, Government Grants.

Other than the matter described above, there have been no material developments related to recently issued accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and note disclosures, from those disclosed in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K, that would be expected to impact the Company.

Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Our Broadband segment provides broadband data, video and voice services to residential and commercial customers in portions of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky via fiber optic, hybrid fiber coaxial cable, and fixed wireless networks. The Broadband segment also provides voice and DSL telephone services to customers in Virginia’s Shenandoah County and portions of adjacent counties as a Rural Local Exchange Carrier (“RLEC”).

These contracts are generally cancellable at the customer’s discretion without penalty at any time. We allocate the total transaction price in these transactions based upon the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service. We generally recognize these revenues over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the service, with the exception of equipment sales and home wiring, which are recognized as revenue at a point in time when control transfers and when installation is complete, respectively. Installation fees, charged upfront without transfer of commensurate goods or services to the customer, are allocated to services and are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the contract, which we estimate to be one year. Additionally, the Company incurs commission expenses related to in-house and third-party vendors which are capitalized and amortized over the expected weighted average customer life which is approximately six years. Amortization of capitalized commission expenses is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Below is a summary of the Broadband segment's capitalized contract acquisition costs:

Contract amortization(729)(223)(2,096)(1,882)
Ending Balance$8,681 $8,011 $8,681 $8,011 

Our Broadband segment also provides Ethernet and Wavelength fiber optic services to commercial fiber customers under capacity agreements, and the related revenue is recognized over time. In some cases, non-refundable upfront fees are charged for connecting commercial fiber customers to our fiber network. Those amounts are recognized ratably over the longer of the contract term or the period in which the unrecognized fee remains material to the respective contract. A related contract liability of $4.1 million at September 30, 2022 is recorded in other liabilities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and is expected to be recognized into revenue at the rate of approximately $0.2 million per year.

The Broadband segment also leases dedicated fiber optic strands to customers as part of “dark fiber” agreements, which are accounted for as leases under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases, ("ASC 842"). Our Tower segment leases space on owned cell towers to our Broadband segment, and to other wireless carriers. Revenue from these leases is accounted for under ASC 842. Refer to Note 13, Segment Reporting, for a summary of these revenue streams.

Note 3. Investments

Investments consist of the following:

SERP investments at fair value$1,739 $2,317 
Cost method investments10,742 11,004 
Equity method investments303 340 
Total investments$12,784 $13,661 

SERP Investments at Fair Value: The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) is a benefit plan that provides deferred compensation to certain employees. The Company holds the related investments in a rabbi trust as a source of funding for future payments under the plan. The SERP’s investments were designated as trading securities and will be liquidated and paid out to the participants upon retirement. The benefit obligation to participants is always equal to the value of the SERP assets under ASC 710, Compensation. The fair value of the SERP investments are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes to the investments' fair value are presented in Other income (expense), while the reciprocal changes in the liability are presented in selling, general and administrative expense. At December 31, 2021, $0.8 million of SERP investments were presented as prepaid expenses and other (current assets). Those investments were liquidated in July 2022 to pay the current portion of our SERP obligation.

Cost Method Investments: Our investment in CoBank ACB’s Class A common stock represented substantially all of our cost method investments with a balance of $10.0 million and $10.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We recognized approximately $13.7 thousand and $0.5 million of patronage income in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $40.5 thousand and $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Historically, approximately 75% of the patronage distributions were received in cash and 25% in equity.

Equity Method Investments: At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a 20.0% ownership interest in Valley Network Partnership (“ValleyNet”). The Company and ValleyNet purchase capacity on one another’s fiber network, through related party transactions. We recognized revenue of $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recognized cost of service of $19.2 thousand and $30 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $73.6 thousand and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $46.4 million and $40.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, due to the availability of grants awarded under various governmental initiatives in support of rural fiber to the home ("FTTH") broadband network expansion projects, we decided to cease further expansion of our Beam branded fixed wireless edge-out strategy, which is offered under our Broadband segment. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company permanently ceased operating 20 of our 55 Beam fixed wireless sites. Consequently, Shentel recorded an impairment charge of $4.1 million. On August 23, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the "Spectrum Purchase Agreement") with a wireless carrier pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell certain Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") spectrum licenses and leases utilized in the Company's Beam branded fixed wireless service for total consideration of approximately $21.1 million, composed of $17.3 million cash and approximately $3.8 million of liabilities to be assumed by the wireless carrier (the "Spectrum Transaction"). The Spectrum Transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. As a result of the Spectrum Transaction, the Company plans to cease its Beam operations at the remaining Beam fixed wireless sites upon or prior to the closing of the Spectrum Transaction. As a result of the expected decommissioning of the remaining Beam fixed wireless sites after they cease operations, the Company has revised the useful lives for these sites to reflect operation through the cease of operations date.

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company was awarded certain indefinite-lived Citizens Broadband Radio Service ("CBRS") spectrum licenses to be used within the Broadband segment. The Company paid an aggregate deposit of $16.1 million with respect to the licenses subject to final approval and issuance by the FCC. The licenses will provide us priority access rights over general access users other than incumbents, in that specific band, in accordance with the FCC’s three-tier CBRS band spectrum sharing framework. The FCC approved the Company’s final application for the licenses in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in the issuance of licenses with a deposit value of $12.1 million. The Company recorded these licenses as indefinite-lived intangible assets on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. These licenses are not subject to the Spectrum Transaction described above. The remaining $4.0 million of the deposit is expected to be returned to the Company in the form of a cash refund in November 2022. The refund amount was recorded in accounts receivable on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

As described in Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company entered into the Spectrum Purchase Agreement to sell FCC spectrum licenses associated with Beam. As a result of the expected sale, the Company concluded that the FCC spectrum licenses met the held-for-sale criteria; accordingly, $13.8 million of indefinite-lived licenses and $5.9 million of finite-lived licenses are presented as held for sale, along with the corresponding $3.8 million of operating lease liabilities related to the finite-lived licenses. The corresponding amounts related to these assets and liabilities were reclassified on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 for comparability. The Company evaluated the events described here and in Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment and determined that these events do not represent a strategic shift in the Company's business.

Note 7. Leases

We lease various broadband network and telecommunications sites, fiber optic cable routes, warehouses, retail stores, and office facilities for use in our business.

At September 30, 2022, our operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of twenty years and a weighted average discount rate of 4.4%. Our finance leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of thirteen years and a weighted average discount rate of 5.2%.

We recognized $2.6 million and $2.3 million of operating lease expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $8.3 million and $5.7 million of operating lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Operating lease expense is presented in cost of service or selling, general and administrative expense based on the use of the relevant facility. Variable lease payments and short-term lease expense were both immaterial. We remitted $4.6 million and $4.2 million of operating lease payments for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We obtained $3.3 million and $7.3 million of leased assets in exchange for new operating lease liabilities recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Note 8. Debt

Our Credit Agreement, dated July 1, 2021 (the "Credit Agreement") contains (i) a $100 million, five-year undrawn revolving credit facility, (ii) a $150 million five-year delayed draw amortizing term loan ("Term Loan A-1") and (iii) a $150 million seven-year delayed draw amortizing term loan ("Term Loan A-2"). The following loans were outstanding under the Credit Agreement:

Term loan A-1$12,500 $ 
Term loan A-212,500  
Total debt25,000  
Less: unamortized loan fees26  
Total debt, net of unamortized loan fees$24,974 $ 

On July 1, 2022, the Company borrowed $12.5 million against both Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 for a total of $25.0 million.

Both Term Loan A-1 and Term Loan A-2 bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.50%. The interest rate was 4.64% at September 30, 2022. Our cash payments for interest were $0.2 million and $10.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Credit Agreement includes various covenants, including total net leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio financial covenants.

The International Exchange (ICE) Benchmark Administration ceased the publication of one-week and two-month LIBOR on December 31, 2021 and expects to phase-out the remaining tenors (overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month) on June 30, 2023. Our term loans and revolver identify LIBOR as a reference rate for tenors ceasing on June 30, 2023 and maturing after 2023. Alternative reference rates that replace LIBOR may not yield the same or similar economic results over the terms of the financial instruments. The transition from LIBOR could result in us paying higher or lower interest rates on our current LIBOR-indexed term loans. Our Credit Agreement includes provisions that provide for the identification of a LIBOR replacement rate. Due to the uncertainty regarding the transition from LIBOR-indexed financial instruments and the manner in which an alternative reference rate will apply, we cannot yet reasonably estimate the expected financial impact of the LIBOR transition. Any changes to the reference rate will be agreed through an amendment to the Credit Agreement and are expected to reference the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, though the timing of such amendment and applicability to any future amounts owed under the Credit Agreement are not certain at this time.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and various state income tax returns. The Company is not subject to any state or federal income tax audits as of September 30, 2022. The Company's income tax returns are generally open to examination from 2018 forward and the net operating losses acquired in the acquisition of nTelos are open to examination from 2002 forward.

The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, differ from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the state income taxes, excess tax benefits and other discrete items.
