Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by Harmonic Inc. on March 11, 2026. The report details the status of a Put Option Agreement entered into on December 8, 2025, to sell the Company's Video business to LeoneMedia Inc. (d/b/a MediaKind). The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to customary conditions including consultation with the French employee works council.
Key Financial Metrics and Accounting Changes
The filing does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. Instead, it addresses significant accounting reclassifications:
- Segment Restructuring: The Video business has been classified as held-for-sale and discontinued operations. Consequently, continuing operations now consist of a single reportable segment: Broadband.
- Historical Reclassification: Results of the Video Business have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
- Supplemental Data: Unaudited supplemental quarterly historical financial information for 2025 reflecting these changes is provided in Exhibit 99.1.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the strategic shift from a two-segment model (Broadband and Video) to a single-segment model (Broadband) due to the pending divestiture. The filing explicitly states that the supplemental information provided does not revise or restate previously filed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Non-GAAP Financial Measures but is intended to support financial modeling efforts.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook and Closing Conditions: The disposition of the Video business is expected to close in the first half of 2026. Completion is contingent upon the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, specifically the completion of the required consultation process with the French employee works council.
Legal Disclaimer: The information furnished in Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 is not deemed "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act and shall not be incorporated by reference into any other filings.
Investor Verification Checklist
