5.2 Employee share plans (continued)
FY2019, FY2018 & FY2017 offer under LTI Plan
Each LTI Plan share is offered subject to the achievement of the performance measure, which is tested once at the end of the performance period. The LTI Plans will be measured against one performance measure – relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR). LTI Plan shares that do not vest after testing of the relevant performance measure, lapse without retesting.
The shares will only vest if a certain Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to the designated comparator group, being the ASX Small Ordinaries Index excluding mining and energy companies, is achieved during the performance period. In relation to the offer, vesting starts where relative TSR reaches the 50th Percentile.
At the 50th Percentile, 50% of LTI Plan shares will vest. All LTI Plan shares will vest if relative TSR is above the 75th Percentile. Between these points, the percentage of vesting increases on a straight-line basis.
Summary of Shares issued under the FY2017 LTI Plan
The following table illustrates the number of, and movements in, shares issued during the year:
Table:
 | 2019 NUMBER | 2018 NUMBER

Question: When will the shares vest?
Answer: if a certain Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to the designated comparator group, being the ASX Small Ordinaries Index excluding mining and energy companies, is achieved during the performance period
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $38 million, or 36%, in 2019 compared to 2018. The overall increase was primarily due to increased employee compensation-related costs of $15 million, driven by headcount growth, and a one-time termination-related charge of $3 million during 2019. The overall increase was also driven by costs associated with our acquisition of Smooch in 2019 including transaction costs of $3 million and a one-time share-based compensation charge of $3 million related to accelerated stock options of Smooch. Further contributing to the overall increase was an increase in allocated shared costs of $3 million
General and administrative expenses increased $22 million, or 27%, in 2018 compared to 2017. The overall increase was primarily due to increased employee compensation-related costs of $15 million, driven by headcount growth, and increased allocated shared costs of $3 million.

Restricted Stock Unit Award Plans
We have two Restricted Stock Unit Award Plans for our employees and non-employee directors, a 2017 Restricted Stock Unit Award Plan (the “2017 RSU Plan”) and a 2014 Restricted Stock Unit Award Plan (the “2014 RSU Plan”). Vesting of an RSU entitles the holder to receive a share of our common stock on a distribution date. Our non-employee director awards allow for non-employee directors to receive payment in cash, instead of stock, for up to 40% of each RSU award. The portion of the RSU awards subject to cash settlement are recorded as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as they vest and being marked-to-market each reporting period until they are distributed. The liability was $29 thousand and $11 thousand at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The compensation cost to be incurred on a granted RSU without a cash settlement option is the RSU’s fair value, which is the market price of our common stock on the date of grant, less its exercise cost. The compensation cost is amortized to expense and recorded to additional paid-in capital over the vesting period of the RSU award.
A summary of the grants under the RSU Plans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and for the year then ended consisted of the following (in thousands):

Answer: The liability was $29 thousand and $11 thousand at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
BOOKINGS
The following table shows new orders levels for 2019 and the backlog for 2018:
The backlog includes orders for which purchase orders or letters of intent have been accepted, typically for up to one year. Historically, orders have been subject to cancellation or rescheduling by customers. In addition, orders have been subject to price negotiations and changes in specifications as a result of changes in customers’ requirements. Due to possible customer changes in delivery schedules and requirements, and to cancellations of orders, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any subsequent period.
For the year in total, our new bookings increased by 24% in 2019 to €1,170 million, excluding the proceeds from the settlements. The book-to-bill, as measured by orders divided by revenue, was 1.0 in 2019. Equipment bookings were led by the foundry segment, followed by logic and memory. Bookings strengthened in the course of the year, excluding the settlement gains, from €235 million in the first quarter to €270 million in the second quarter, €292 million in the third quarter and finished at a new record high of €373 million in the fourth quarter. We also finished the year with a record high order backlog of €351 million, an increase of 16% compared to the end of 2018.

20. Net Loss Per Share
The Company intends to settle the principal of the Convertible Notes in cash on conversion and calculates diluted earnings per share using the treasury-stock method. Stock-based awards and the conversion feature on the Convertible Notes that have an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted loss per common share, are excluded from this calculation.
For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the number of Common Stock from stock-based awards and the conversion feature on the Convertible Notes that had an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per common share were 3.5 million, 4.0 million and 3.6 million respectively.
In periods where a loss attributable to shareholders has been incurred all stock-based awards and the conversion feature on the Convertible Notes are anti-dilutive.

2019 vs 2018
Net revenue in Connected Home segment decreased for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the prior year. Net revenue from service provider customers fell $27.8 million compared with the prior year. In addition, the North American home WiFi market contracted in fiscal 2019 affecting net revenue from non-service provider customers. The lower revenue was primarily due to declined net revenue of our home wireless, mobile and broadband modem and gateway products. Within home wireless, we experienced declines in net revenue from AC router products, WiFi mesh systems and extenders, partially offset by net revenue generated from the introduction of WiFi 6 routers. On a geographic basis, we experience net revenue declines across all three regions.
Contribution income decreased for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower net revenue and lower gross margin attainment. Contribution margin decreased for the year ended December 31, 2019 compare to the prior year primarily due to higher product acquisition costs resulting from the burden of Section 301 tariffs and inefficiencies associated with commencing manufacturing in new locations, increased channel promotion activities and foreign exchange headwinds due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
2018 vs 2017
2018 vs 2017 Connected Home segment net revenue increased for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year. The increase in Connected Home net revenue was primarily due to home wireless and broadband modem and modem gateway products, partially offset by decreased net revenue from mobile products. The growth in home wireless was experienced across both service provider and non-service provider channels, while the increase in broadband and gateway related solely to non-service provider customers. In total, net revenue from service provider customers fell $33.5 million compared to the prior year period. Geographically, net revenue increased in Americas and EMEA, but decreased in APAC.
Contribution income increased for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher net revenue and gross margin attainment, mainly due to favorable product mix and lower warranty expense, partially offset by higher operating expenses as a proportion of net revenue.

Interest rate swaps
The Group has the following interest rate swaps in place as at the end of the reporting period:
Future interest rate swaps in place at the end of the reporting period have maturity dates ranging from 23 September 2019 to 23 September 2026 (2018: 24 September 2018 to 23 September 2026).
On 24 June 2019, the Group reset the interest rates associated with AUD denominated interest rate swaps. This resulted in a cash outflow of $22.9m which reduced the Group’s financial liability presented in note 9.8. The cumulative change in fair value of these hedging instruments is carried in a separate reserve in equity (cash flow hedge reserve of NSPT presented within non-controlling interest in the Group’s consolidated statement of changes in equity).
This balance will be recycled from the hedge reserve to finance costs in the statement of profit and loss in future reporting periods corresponding to when the underlying hedged item impacts profit or loss. For the year ended 30 June 2019, $0.1m has been recognised in finance costs relating to this item.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. A summary of the tax effect of the significant components of deferred income taxes is as follows (in thousands):
At December 31, 2019, we had state and foreign net operating losses of approximately $12.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The state net operating losses expire beginning 2027 through 2038. We recorded a full valuation allowance against the foreign net operating losses and a partial valuation allowance against the state net operating losses, as we do not believe those losses will be fully utilized in the future.
