1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation

Business Description

Brightcove Inc. (the Company) is a provider of cloud-based solutions for publishing and distributing professional digital media which enable its customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective manner.

The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 24, 2004. At September 30, 2013, the Company had nine wholly-owned subsidiaries: Brightcove UK Ltd, Brightcove Singapore Pte. Ltd., Brightcove Korea, Brightcove Australia Pty Ltd, Brightcove Holdings, Inc., Bright Bay Co. Ltd., Brightcove Kabushiki Kaisha (Brightcove KK), Zencoder Inc. (Zencoder) and Brightcove FZ-LLC.

Prior to January 8, 2013, the Company owned a 63% interest in Brightcove KK, which the Company held since the formation of Brightcove KK in 2008. On January 8, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 37% interest in Brightcove KK and, as a result, Brightcove KK is now 100% owned by the Company. See Note 3 for further discussion on this transaction.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure, other than those disclosed in this Report on Form 10-Q.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, have not changed.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification had no impact on the previously reported results of operations or cash flows.

2. Business Combination

On August 14, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Zencoder, a privately-held company based in San Francisco, California. The purchase price of Zencoder was approximately $27,379 and was funded by cash on hand. The Company acquired Zencoder to enhance and extend the Company’s existing offerings with Zencoder’s media encoding services. The Company believes that the unification of Zencoder’s audio and video encoding service with the Company’s existing offerings will enable new and improved scalable services that will help customers reduce the cost and complexity of video encoding and delivery.

Table of Contents

The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the results of operations of Zencoder have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the merger and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. Transaction costs and retention costs associated with the transaction have been expensed as incurred.

The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded merger-related expenses of $370 and $756, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded merger-related expenses of $1,461 and $1,235, respectively. Included in merger-related expenses are costs incurred in connection with closing the acquisition in addition to costs associated with the retention of key employees. In addition to the $27,379 purchase price, per the merger agreement, approximately $2,667 is to be paid to retain certain key employees over a two year period as services are performed. Given that the retention amount is related to a future service requirement, the related expense is being recorded as compensation expense in the Merger-related line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the expected service period, and was $281 during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and was $370 and $1,461, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

3. Non-controlling Interest

On May 30, 2008, the Company formed Brightcove KK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brightcove Inc. On July 18, 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with J-Stream Inc. (J-Stream), Dentsu, Inc. (Dentsu), CyberCommunications, Inc. and Transcosmos Investments & Business Development, Inc. (collectively, the minority stockholders). The minority stockholders invested cash of approximately $4.8 million in Brightcove KK such that their cumulative ownership interest in the entity was 37%, while the Company retained a 63% ownership interest in the entity. The Company determined that it had a controlling interest and was the primary beneficiary of the entity. As such, the Company consolidated Brightcove KK for financial reporting purposes, and a non-controlling interest was recorded for the third parties’ interest in the net assets and operations of Brightcove KK to the extent of the non-controlling partners’ individual investments.

On January 8, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 37% interest in Brightcove KK and, as a result, Brightcove KK is now 100% owned by the Company. The purchase price of the remaining equity interest was approximately $1.1 million and was funded by cash on hand. The Company continues to consolidate Brightcove KK for financial reporting purposes, however, commencing on January 8, 2013, the Company no longer records a non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The purchase was accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. Accordingly, the non-controlling interest in the consolidated subsidiary on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet was reduced to zero on the transaction date to reflect the Company’s increased ownership percentage, with the excess of the non-controlling interest balance on the date of the acquisition over the $1.1 million purchase price recorded as additional-paid-in-capital.

Non-controlling interest represents the minority shareholders’ proportionate share of the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Brightcove KK. The following table sets forth the changes in non-controlling interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

4. Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times,

8

Table of Contents

may exceed federally insured limits. The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company’s accounts receivable.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of net accounts receivable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue.

5. Concentration of Other Risks

The Company is dependent on certain content delivery network providers who provide digital media delivery functionality enabling the Company’s on-demand application service to function as intended for the Company’s customers and ultimate end-users. The disruption of these services could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

6. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments not classified as cash equivalents with maturities less than one year from the balance sheet date, are classified as short-term investments, while investments with maturities in excess of one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on deposit with banks and amounts held in interest-bearing money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair market value. Investments primarily consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debentures. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company classified its investments as held-to-maturity as it is the Company’s intention to hold such investments until they mature. As such, investments were recorded at amortized cost at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2013 consist of the following:

Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2012 consist of the following:

9. Stock-based Compensation

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions:

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1,585 and $1,458 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $4,736 and $3,668 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, there was $13,379 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.90 years.

The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s stock options as of September 30, 2013 and the stock option activity for all stock option plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As discussed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on January 8, 2013 the Company acquired the remaining 37% of Brightcove KK. The Brightcove KK Stock Option Plan was terminated in connection with this transaction.

10. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $55 and $(3,280), respectively, and $149 and $(3,222), respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 relates principally to the Company’s foreign operations. The income tax benefit recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 relates principally to a reduction of the Company’s valuation against its existing deferred tax assets to offset certain deferred tax liabilities on amortizable intangibles recognized upon the acquisition of Zencoder.

The Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its U.S. net deferred tax assets. As required by the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, management has determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not utilize the benefits of federal and state U.S. net deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets are subject to a valuation allowance at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The Company has historically provided a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in Japan. Based upon the level of historical income in Japan and future projections, the Company determined in the fourth quarter of 2012 that it was probable it will realize the benefits of its future deductible differences. As such, the Company released the valuation allowance related to the remaining deferred tax assets in Japan.

The Company’s income tax return reporting periods since December 31, 2009 are open to income tax audit examination by the federal and state tax authorities. In addition, because the Company has net operating loss carryforwards, the Internal Revenue Service is permitted to audit earlier years and propose adjustments up to the amount of net operating losses generated in those years. There are currently no federal, state or foreign audits in progress.

11. Contingencies

Legal Matters

On August 27, 2012, a complaint was filed by Blue Spike, LLC naming the Company in a patent infringement case (Blue Spike, LLC v. Audible Magic Corporation, et al., United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas). The complaint alleges that the Company has infringed U.S. Patent No. 7,346,472 with a listed issue date of March 18, 2008, entitled “Method and Device for Monitoring and Analyzing Signals,” U.S. Patent No. 7,660,700 with a listed issue date of February 9, 2010, entitled “Method and Device for Monitoring and Analyzing Signals,” U.S. Patent No. 7,949,494 with a listed issue date of May 24, 2011, entitled “Method and Device for Monitoring and Analyzing Signals” and U.S. Patent No. 8,214,175 with a listed issue date of July 3, 2012, entitled “Method and Device for Monitoring and Analyzing Signals.” The complaint seeks an injunction enjoining infringement, damages and pre-and post-judgment costs and interest. The Company answered and filed counterclaims against Blue Spike on December 3, 2012. The Company filed an amended answer and amended counterclaims against Blue Spike on July 15, 2013. This complaint is subject to indemnification by one of the Company’s vendors. The Company cannot yet determine whether it is probable that a loss will be incurred in connection with this complaint, nor can the Company reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of a possible loss, if any.

On September 10, 2013, a complaint was filed by Cinsay Inc. naming the Company in a patent infringement case (Cinsay Inc. v. Brightcove Inc. and Joyus Inc., United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas). The complaint alleges that the Company has infringed U.S. Patent No. 8,312,486 with a listed issue date of November 13, 2012, entitled “Interactive Product Placement and Method Therefor” and U.S. Patent No. 8,533,753 with a listed issue date of September 10, 2013, entitled “Interactive Product Placement and Method Therefor.” On October 1, 2013, Cinsay filed an amended complaint against the Company and Joyus in which it reasserted the allegations of infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,312,486 and U.S. Patent No. 8,533,753 and added allegations of infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,549,555 with a listed issue date of October 1, 2013, entitled “Interactive Product Placement and Method Therefor.” The amended complaint seeks an injunction enjoining infringement, damages and pre- and post-judgment costs and interest. The Company cannot yet determine whether it is probable that a loss will be incurred in connection with this matter, nor can the Company reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of a possible loss, if any.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

The Company typically enters into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses and costs incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property or personal right infringement claims by third parties with respect to the Company’s technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. Based on when customers first subscribe for the Company’s service, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under certain of these indemnification agreements is unlimited, however, more recently the Company has typically limited the maximum potential value of such potential future payments in relation to the value of the contract. Based on historical experience and information known as of September 30, 2013, the Company has not incurred any costs for the above guarantees and indemnities. The Company has received requests for indemnification from customers in connection with patent infringement suits brought against these customers by third parties. To date, the Company has not agreed that the requested indemnification is required by the Company’s contract with these customers.

In certain circumstances, the Company warrants that its products and services will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specification documentation in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products and services to the customer for the warranty period of the product or service. To date, the Company has not incurred significant expense under its warranties and, as a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

12. Debt

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender (the “Line of Credit”) providing for an asset based line of credit. Under the Line of Credit, the Company can borrow up to the lesser of (i) $8.0 million or (ii) 80% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. Borrowing availability under the Line of Credit changes based upon the amount of eligible receivables, concentration of eligible receivables and other factors. The Company has the ability to obtain letters of credit, which reduce the borrowing availability of the Line of Credit. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. Outstanding amounts under the Line of Credit accrue interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 1.5%. Advances under the Line of Credit were repayable on March 31, 2013, and interest and related finance charges are payable monthly. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit.

On June 24, 2011, the Company entered into the First Loan Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) to the Line of Credit. Pursuant to the terms of the Modification Agreement, during the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company drew $7.0 million in

13

Table of Contents

term loan advances. In February 2012, the Company repaid the $7.0 million balance under the Modification Agreement and made a final payment of $140,000, representing 2% of the outstanding balance, pursuant to the terms of the Modification Agreement. As such, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Modification Agreement at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

On April 29, 2013, the Company entered into a Second Loan Modification Agreement (the “Second Modification Agreement”) to the Line of Credit. The Second Modification Agreement increases the aggregate amount of borrowings that may be outstanding under the Line of Credit from $8.0 million to $10.0 million and extends the maturity date to March 30, 2015. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Second Modification Agreement at September 30, 2013.

13. Related Party Transactions

Two of the former non-controlling interest holders in Brightcove KK, J-Stream and Dentsu, acted as product distributors for the Company in Japan. As disclosed in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on January 8, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 37% interest in Brightcove KK and, as a result, Brightcove KK is now 100% owned by the Company. As such, J-Stream and Dentsu are no longer considered related parties effective January 8, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, accounts receivable from related parties was:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded revenue from related parties of:

15. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. This amendment is intended to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived assets other than goodwill for impairment by providing entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The amended provisions will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment impacts impairment testing steps only, and therefore adoption will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 amended ASC 210, Balance Sheet, to converge the presentation of offsetting assets and liabilities between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires that entities disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Our revenue grew from $63.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to $80.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our consolidated net loss was $8.1 million and $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, our net revenue derived from customers located outside North America was 40% and 36%, respectively. We expect the percentage of total net revenue derived from outside North America to increase in future periods as we continue to expand our international operations.

Our philosophy for the next few years will continue to be to invest for long term growth. We believe these investments will help us address some of the challenges facing our business such as demand for our products by customers and potential customers, rapid technological change in our industry, increased competition and resulting price sensitivity. These investments include support for the expansion of our

infrastructure within our hosting facilities, the hiring of additional technical and sales personnel, and the innovation of new features for Video Cloud, the Zencoder media processing service, or the Zencoder Service, and the development of new products. We believe these investments will help us retain our existing Video Cloud customers and lead to the acquisition of new customers for Video Cloud and the Zencoder Service. Additionally, we believe customer growth will enable us to achieve economies of scale which will reduce our cost of goods sold, research and development and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue.

Acquisitions

On August 14, 2012, we acquired Zencoder Inc., or Zencoder, a provider of cloud-based media encoding services, for total consideration of approximately $27.4 million. The results of operations of Zencoder have been consolidated with our results of operations beginning on August 14, 2012, the closing date of the transaction.

On January 8, 2013, we acquired the remaining 37% interest of our majority-owned subsidiary, Brightcove Kabushiki Kaisha, or Brightcove KK, a Japanese joint venture which was formed on July 18, 2008. The purchase price of the remaining equity interest was approximately $1.1 million and was funded by cash on hand. Given that we now own 100% of Brightcove KK, we will continue to consolidate Brightcove KK for financial reporting purposes, however, commencing on January 8, 2013, we will no longer record a non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations.

Key Metrics

We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.

As of September 30, 2013, we had 6,374 customers, of which 4,615 used our volume offerings and 1,759 used our premium offerings. As of September 30, 2012, we had 6,143 customers, of which 4,570 used our volume offerings and 1,573 used our premium offerings. Our volume customers as of September 30, 2013 include customers obtained as part of the Zencoder acquisition.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the average number of monthly streams was approximately 921 million, an increase of 39% from approximately 661 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the recurring dollar retention rate was 97% compared with 96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in our recurring dollar retention rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was driven by an increase in sales of additional products and services to our existing customer base. For example, one early renewal of an existing customer arrangement contained a significant upsell component.

The following table includes our key metrics for the periods presented:

Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations

Revenue

Subscription and Support Revenue – We generate subscription and support revenue from the sale of Video Cloud and the Zencoder Service.

Video Cloud is offered in two product lines. The first product line is comprised of our premium product editions, Enterprise and Pro. The Enterprise edition provides additional features and functionality such as a multi-account environment with consolidated billing, IP address filtering, the ability to produce live events with DVR functionality and advanced upload acceleration of content. Customer arrangements are typically one year contracts, which include a subscription to our platform, basic support and a pre-determined amount of bandwidth. We also offer gold support to our premium customers for an additional fee, which includes extended phone support. The pricing for our premium editions is based on the number of users, accounts and usage, which is comprised of video streams, bandwidth and managed content. Should a customer’s usage of this service exceed the contractual entitlements, the contract will provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the contractual entitlements. The second product line is comprised of our volume product edition, which we refer to as our Express edition. Our Express edition targets small and medium-sized businesses, or SMBs. The Express edition provides customers with the same basic functionality that is offered in our premium product editions but has been designed for customers who have lower usage requirements and do not typically seek advanced features and functionality. Customers who purchase the Express edition generally enter into month-to-month agreements. Express customers are generally billed on a monthly basis and pay via a credit card, or they are billed annually in advance.

The Zencoder Service includes all of the features and functionality necessary to encode digital files and convert them into a wide range of formats in a high-quality manner. The service is offered to customers on a subscription basis, with either committed contracts or pay-as-you-go contracts. The pricing is based on usage, which is comprised of minutes of video processed. The committed contracts include a fixed number of minutes of video processed. Should a customer’s usage of this service exceed the contractual entitlements, the contract will provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the contractual entitlements. Customers of the Zencoder Service on annual contracts are considered premium customers. Customers on month-to-month contracts, pay-as-you-go contracts, or contracts for a period of less than one year, are considered volume customers.

Professional Services and Other Revenue – Professional services and other revenue consists of services such as implementation, software customizations and project management for customers who subscribe to our premium editions. These arrangements are typically priced on a fixed fee basis with a portion due upon contract signing and the remainder due when the related services have been completed.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of subscription, support and professional services revenue primarily consists of costs related to supporting and hosting our product offerings and delivering our professional services. These costs include salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation expense related to the management of our data centers, our customer support team and our professional services staff. In addition to these expenses, we incur third-party service provider costs such as data center and content delivery network expenses, allocated overhead, depreciation expense and amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs and acquired intangible assets. We allocate overhead costs such as rent, utilities and supplies to all departments based on relative headcount. As such, general overhead expenses are reflected in cost of revenue in addition to each operating expense category.

Table of Contents

The costs associated with providing professional services are significantly higher as a percentage of related revenue than the costs associated with delivering our subscription and support services due to the labor costs of providing professional services. As such, the implementation and professional services costs relating to an arrangement with a new customer are more significant than the costs to renew a customer’s subscription and support arrangement.

Cost of revenue increased in absolute dollars from the first nine months of 2012 to the first nine months of 2013. In future periods we expect our cost of revenue will increase in absolute dollars as our revenue increases. We also expect that cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue will decrease over time as we are able to achieve economies of scale in our business. However, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue could fluctuate from period to period depending on the growth of our professional services business and any associated costs relating to the delivery of subscription services and the timing of significant expenditures. To the extent that our customer base grows, we intend to continue to invest additional resources in expanding the delivery capability of our products and other services. The timing of these additional expenses could affect our cost of revenue, both in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue, in any particular quarterly or annual period.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses as follows:

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our research and development staff, including salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation, in addition to the costs associated with contractors and allocated overhead. We have focused our research and development efforts on expanding the functionality and scalability of our products and enhancing their ease of use, as well as creating new product offerings. We expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we intend to continue to periodically release new features and functionality, expand our product offerings, continue the localization of our products in various languages, upgrade and extend our service offerings, and develop new technologies. Over the long term, we believe that research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue will decrease, but will vary depending upon the mix of revenue from new and existing products, features and functionality, as well as changes in the technology that our products must support, such as new operating systems or new Internet-connected devices.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for our sales and marketing staff, including salaries, benefits, incentive compensation, commissions, stock-based compensation and travel costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, in addition to costs associated with marketing and promotional events, corporate communications, advertising, other brand building and product marketing expenses and allocated overhead. Our sales and marketing expenses have increased in absolute dollars in each of the last three years. We intend to continue to invest in sales and marketing and increase the number of sales representatives to add new customers and expand the sale of our product offerings within our existing customer base, build brand awareness and sponsor additional marketing events. Accordingly, in future periods we expect sales and marketing expense to increase in absolute dollars and continue to be our most significant operating expense. Over the long term, we believe that sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue will decrease, but will vary depending upon the mix of revenue from new and existing customers and from small, medium-sized and enterprise customers, as well as changes in the productivity of our sales and marketing programs.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses for executive, legal, finance, information technology and human resources functions, including salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation, in addition to the costs associated with professional fees, insurance premiums, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. In future periods we expect general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to incur additional personnel and professional services costs in order to meet the compliance requirements of operating as a public company, including those costs incurred in connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We will comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the year ending December 31, 2013. Over the long term, we believe that general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue will decrease.

Merger-related. Merger-related costs primarily consist of transaction expenses and related charges incurred as part of the Zencoder acquisition. In connection with the Zencoder acquisition, approximately $2.7 million is to be paid to retain certain key employees over a two year period from the date of acquisition as services are performed. Given that the retention amount is related to a future service requirement, the related expense is being recorded as merger-related compensation expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations over the expected service period.

Other Expense

Other expense consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents and investments, foreign exchange gains and losses, interest expense payable on our debt, loss on disposal of equipment and changes in the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with a line of credit.

Non-controlling Interest

Our results include a non-controlling interest in Brightcove KK. We owned 63% of the entity at December 31, 2012. The non-controlling interest in Brightcove KK is reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. The portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interest is presented as net income attributable to non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiary in our consolidated statements of operations through January 7, 2013. Two of the minority interest holders in Brightcove KK, J-Stream and Dentsu, also acted as product distributors for Brightcove KK in Japan. We historically recorded revenue from sales to J-Stream and Dentsu as revenue from a related party.

On January 8, 2013, we acquired the remaining 37% interest in Brightcove KK for a purchase price of approximately $1.1 million. As a result of the transaction, we now own 100% of Brightcove KK and will continue to consolidate Brightcove KK for financial reporting purposes, however, commencing on January 8, 2013, we will no longer record a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, this method requires a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have provided a valuation allowance against our existing net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2013, with the exception of the deferred tax assets related to Brightcove KK.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Our cost of revenue, research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses include stock-based compensation expense. Stock-based compensation expense represents the fair value of outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards, which are recognized over the respective stock option and restricted stock award service periods. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $4.7 million and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We expect stock-based compensation expense to increase in absolute dollars in future periods.

Foreign Currency Translation

With regard to our international operations, we frequently enter into transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, our revenues, expenses and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the euro, British pound, Australian dollar, and Japanese yen. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 45% and 42%, respectively, of our revenue was generated in locations outside the United States. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 44% and 41%, respectively, of our revenue was generated in locations outside the United States. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 31% and 29%, respectively, of our revenue was in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, as were some of the associated expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 30% and 29%, respectively, of our revenue was in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, as were some of the associated expenses. In periods when the U.S. dollar declines in value as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct business, our foreign currency-based revenues and expenses generally increase in value when translated into U.S. dollars. We expect our foreign currency-based revenue to increase in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates 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 actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, software development costs, income taxes, business combinations, intangible assets, goodwill and stock-based compensation to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2012.

For a detailed explanation of the judgments made in these areas, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2013.

We believe that our significant accounting policies, which are more fully described in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have not materially changed from those described in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Results of Operations

The following tables set forth our results of operations for the periods presented. The data has been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which, in the opinion of our management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of future results. This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Overview of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Total revenue increased by 29%, or $6.5 million, in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 due to an increase in subscription and support revenue of 23%, or $5.0 million, and an increase in professional services and other revenue of 251%, or $1.4 million. The increase in subscription and support revenue resulted primarily from an increase in the number of our premium customers, which was 1,759 as of September 30, 2013, an increase of 12% from 1,573 customers as of September 30, 2012, as well as an increase in revenue from existing customers. In addition, our revenue from volume offerings grew by $538,000, or 26%, in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. Our ability to continue to provide the product functionality and performance that our customers require will be a major factor in our ability to continue to increase revenue.

Our gross profit increased by $4.2 million, or 28%, in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to an increase in revenue. With the continued growth in our total revenue, our ability to continue to maintain our overall gross profit will depend on our ability to continue controlling our costs of delivery.

Loss from operations was $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $3.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Loss from operations in the three months ended September 30, 2013 included stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and merger-related expenses of $1.6 million, $428,000 and $370,000, respectively. Loss from operations in the three months ended September 30, 2012 included stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets and merger-related expenses of $1.5 million, $215,000 and $756,000, respectively. We expect operating income to improve from increased sales to both new and existing customers and from improved efficiencies throughout our organization as we continue to grow and scale our operations.

As of September 30, 2013, we had $30.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $8.4 million from $21.7 million at December 31, 2012, due primarily to $7.3 million in maturities of investments offset by $1.1 million used to purchase the non-controlling interest of our Brightcove KK subsidiary and $1.9 million in capital expenditures to support the business.
