Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise noted)

1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation

Business Description

Brightcove Inc. (the Company) is a leading global provider of cloud services for video which enable its customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective and high-quality manner.

The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 24, 2004. At June 30, 2019, the Company had twelve wholly-owned subsidiaries: Brightcove UK Ltd, Brightcove Singapore Pte. Ltd., Brightcove Korea, Brightcove Australia Pty Ltd, Brightcove Holdings, Inc., Brightcove Kabushiki Kaisha (Brightcove KK), Zencoder Inc. (Zencoder), Brightcove FZ-LLC, Cacti Acquisition LLC, Brightcove India Pte. Ltd, Brightcove S. de R.L. de C.V. and Othello Acquisition Corporation.

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, 2018.

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, other than the changes to accounting for leases as described in Note 14, 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, 2018 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. 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 described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, the Company implemented a significant accounting policy upon the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 842”). As of June 30, 2019, other than the changes to leases, 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, 2018, have not changed.

2. Business Combinations

On April 1, 2019, pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed its acquisition of the online video platform assets of Ooyala, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (“Ooyala”), a provider of cloud video technology, in exchange for common stock of the Company and cash (the “Acquisition”). At the closing, the Company issued 1,056,763 unregistered shares of common stock of the Company valued at $8.9 million and paid $3.3 million in cash, which comprised $5.75 million of purchase consideration less $2.4 million of working capital adjustments. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, approximately $2.65 million of the cash consideration was placed into an escrow account to secure payment of any claims of indemnification for breaches or inaccuracies in the Sellers’ representations and warranties, covenants and agreements.

 

8

The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 — Business Combinations. Accordingly, the results of operations of Ooyala 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 Acquisition, which remain preliminary as of June 30, 2019, and using assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable given the information currently available. The Company is in the process of completing its valuation of its intangible assets, accounts receivable, deferred revenue and the valuation of the acquired deferred tax assets and liabilities. The final allocations of the purchase price to intangible assets, accounts receivable, deferred revenue, goodwill and any deferred tax assets and liabilities may differ materially from the information presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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. Definitive allocations are being performed and finalized based on certain valuations and other studies performed by the Company with the services of outside valuation specialists.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $2.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of merger-related costs related to the Acquisition.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated amounts of net assets as of the effective date of the acquisition was allocated to goodwill in accordance with the accounting guidance. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Acquisition. These benefits include the acquired workforce and with the Company’s direct sales force and larger channel coverage, the Company anticipates significant cross-selling opportunities. The goodwill is expected to be currently deductible for tax purposes.

The total purchase price for Ooyala has been allocated as follows:

 

Accounts receivable		$	2,904
Other tangible assets			620
Identifiable intangible assets			9,765
Goodwill			4,762
Deferred revenue			(6,475	)
Other liabilites			(206	)
Total estimated purchase price		$	11,370

The following are the identifiable intangible assets acquired and their respective useful lives, as determined based on preliminary valuations:

 

		Amount				Useful Life
Customer relationships		$	9,127				7
Developed technology			638				1
Total		$	9,765

The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital.

 

9

The estimated remaining amortization expense for the remainder of 2019 and for each of the five succeeding years and thereafter is as follows:

 

Year Ending December 31,		Amount
2019		$	1,456
2020			1,463
2021			1,304
2022			1,304
2023			1,304
2024 and thereafter			2,934
Total		$	9,765

Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company and Ooyala, on a pro forma basis, as though the Company had acquired Ooyala at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma information for all periods presented also includes the effects of business combination accounting resulting from the acquisition.

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2018				2019				2018
Total revenue		$	49,269			$	97,033			$	98,078
Net loss			(6,965	)			(10,762	)			(7,936	)
Earnings per share - basic and diluted			(0.19	)			(0.28	)			(0.22	)

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of its online video platform, which enables its customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective and high-quality manner. Revenue is derived from three primary sources: (1) the subscription to its technology and related support; (2) hosting, bandwidth and encoding services; and (3) professional services, which include initiation, set-up and customization services.

The following summarizes the opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

 

		Accounts Receivable, net				Contract Assets (current)				Deferred Revenue (current)				Deferred Revenue (non-current)				Total Deferred Revenue
Balance at December 31, 2018		$	23,264			$	1,640			$	39,846			$	146			$	39,992
Balance at June 30, 2019			33,576				2,208				49,842				283				50,125

Revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $11.6 million and $31.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not recognize revenue from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods.

The assets recognized for costs to obtain a contract were $5.9 million as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Amortization expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 related to costs to obtain a contract was $1.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Amortization expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related to costs to obtain a contract was $2.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2019, the total aggregate transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations for subscription and support contracts was approximately $134.2 million, of which approximately $107.6 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations by December 2022.

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 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, may exceed federally insured limits. 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable, net. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 and Cash Equivalents

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. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. The Company did not have any short-term or long-term investments at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

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.

7. Net Loss per Share

The Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per common share by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has excluded other potentially dilutive shares, which include warrants to purchase common stock and outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock units, from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as their inclusion in the computation for all periods would be anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred. The following outstanding common shares have been excluded from the computation of dilutive net loss per share as of June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands).

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2019				2018				2019				2018
Options outstanding			2,632				3,656				2,638				3,710
Restricted stock units outstanding			3,244				2,458				3,178				2,330

10. Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $175 and $154, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $350 and $266, respectively. The income tax expense relates principally to the Company’s foreign operations.

The Company is required to compute income tax expense in each jurisdiction in which it operates. This process requires the Company to project its current tax liability and estimate its deferred tax assets and liabilities, including net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carry-forwards. In assessing the ability to realize the net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance against its remaining U.S. net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, as based upon the level of historical U.S. losses and future projections over the period in which the net deferred tax assets are deductible, at this time, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The Company maintains net deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to its foreign subsidiaries.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

On January 30, 2019, Uniloc 2017 LLC (“Uniloc”) filed a complaint against the Company and its subsidiary, Brightcove Holdings, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the Company infringed four patents and seeks monetary damages and other relief. The Company answered the complaint on March 25, 2019 and Uniloc filed an amended complaint on April 9, 2019. The Company filed an answer to the amended complaint on April 23, 2019. 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, if any.

On or about June 24, 2019, Dynamic Data Technologies, LLC (“DDT”) filed a complaint against the Company and its subsidiary, Brightcove Holdings, Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the Company infringed patents owned by DDT and seeks monetary damages and other relief. The Company has not yet answered or otherwise responded to the complaint. 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, if any.

 

13

The Company, from time to time, is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company based on the status of proceedings at this time.

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 June 30, 2019, 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 the customer by a third party. To date, the Company has not agreed that the requested indemnification is required by the Company’s contract with any such customer.

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 December 14, 2018, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with a lender (the “Loan Agreement”) providing for up to a $30.0 million asset based line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). Under the Line of Credit, the Company can borrow up to $30.0 million. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding its intellectual property. Outstanding amounts under the Line of Credit accrue interest at a rate as follows: (i) for prime rate advances, the greater of (A) the prime rate and (B) 4%, and (ii) for LIBOR advances, the greater of (A) the LIBOR rate plus 225 basis points and (B) 4%. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio. If the outstanding principal during any month is at least $15.0 million, the Company must also maintain a minimum net income threshold based on non-GAAP operating measures. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the lenders under the Line of Credit to declare all amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit as of June 30, 2019 and there are no borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2019.

13. Segment Information

Geographic Data

Total revenue from unaffiliated customers by geographic area, based on the location of the customer, was as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
		2019				2018				2019				2018
Revenue:
North America		$	25,708			$	22,839			$	47,521			$	45,517
Europe			8,167				6,734				14,636				13,047

Other			470				157				564				262
Total revenue		$	47,582			$	41,654			$	89,418			$	82,848

North America is comprised of revenue from the United States, Canada and Mexico. Revenue from customers located in the United States was $23,966 and $21,570 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenue from customers located in the United States was $44,372 and $42,824 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other than the United States and Japan, no other country contributed more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

 

14

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, property and equipment at locations outside the U.S. was not material.

14. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, which replaced the existing guidance for leases using the transition method introduced by ASU 2018-11, which adjusts the January 1, 2019 balance for the cumulative effects of the change in accounting.

Under ASC 842, a right-of-use asset and lease liability is recorded for all leases and the statement of operations reflects the lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASC 842 is calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. The adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $19.6 million and $20.9 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company reversed its deferred rent liability of $1.3 million as a result of the adoption. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

The new standard provided various practical expedients, which were assessed to determine the ultimate impact of the new standard upon adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients, which permits the Company to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. The Company also elected the practical expedients to not apply the recognition requirements in the standard to a lease that at commencement date has a lease term of twelve months or less and does not contain a purchase option that it is reasonably certain to exercise and to not separate lease and related non-lease components.

The Company leases its facilities under non-cancelable operating leases. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Many of the Company’s lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which are not included in the minimum lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised.

The Company’s operating lease expense was $1,913 and $3,820 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s operating lease expense was $2,020 and $4,023 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 the Company entered into a new lease in its Singapore location with a lease liability of $779.

The weighted-average remaining non-cancelable lease term for our operating leases was three years at June 30, 2019. The weighted-average discount rate was 4.0% at June 30, 2019.

The Company’s operating leases expire at various dates through 2024. The following shows the undiscounted cash flows for the remainder of 2019 and remaining years under operating leases at June 30, 2019:

 

Year Ending December 31,		Operating Lease Commitments
2019		$	3,593
2020			6,115
2021			5,392
2022			2,302
2023			1,104
2024 and thereafter			985
		$	19,491

15. Restructuring

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 the Company committed to an action to restructure certain parts of the Company with the intent of aligning skills with the Company’s strategy and facilitating cost efficiencies and savings. As a result certain headcount reductions were necessary. The Company has incurred approximately $752 in restructuring charges in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The restructuring charges reflect post-employment benefits, and the Company does not expect to incur any

 

15

additional restructuring charges related to this action. The restructuring charges are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows: $186 – Cost of subscription and support revenue; $107 - Cost of professional services and other revenue; $421 – Sales and Marketing; and $38 – Research and Development. These amounts are reflected in Accrued Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as of June 30, 2019. The Company expects to pay the entire amount by September 30, 2019.

Video Cloud enables our customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective and high-quality manner. Brightcove Zencoder, or Zencoder, is a cloud-based video encoding service. Brightcove SSAI, or SSAI, is an innovative, cloud-based ad insertion and video stitching service that addresses the limitations of traditional online video ad insertion technology. Brightcove Player, or Player, is a cloud-based service for creating and managing video player experiences. Brightcove OTT Flow, or OTT Flow, is a service for media companies and content owners to rapidly deploy high-quality, direct-to-consumer, live and on-demand video services across platforms.

Our philosophy for the next few years will continue to be to invest in our product strategy and development, sales, and go-to-market activities to support our long-term revenue growth. We believe these investments will help us address some of the challenges facing our business such as demand for our products by existing 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, the innovation of new features for existing products and the development of new products. We believe this strategy will help us retain our existing customers, increase our average annual subscription revenue per premium customer and lead to the acquisition of new customers. 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.

On April 1, 2019, we purchased the online video platform assets of Ooyala, Inc. (“Ooyala”), which included the online video platform customers, Ooyala’s technology and Ooyala’s operations in Guadalajara, Mexico. We discuss the effect of the Ooyala transaction, when applicable, in our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations below. We plan on transitioning the acquired customers to our technology as we feel that our cloud-based services will add value to the acquired customers.

As of June 30, 2019, we had 547 employees and 3,761 customers, of which 2,350 used our premium offerings and 1,411 used our volume offerings. As of June 30, 2018, we had 494 employees and 3,936 customers, of which 2,204 used our premium offerings and 1,732 used our volume offerings.

We generate revenue by offering our products to customers on a subscription-based, software as a service, or SaaS, model. Our revenue grew from $82.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $89.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to $6.2 million of incremental revenue from the Ooyala acquisition and, to a lesser extent, an increase in sales of Video Cloud to both new and existing customers. Our consolidated net loss was $12.2 million and $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net income from the Ooyala acquisition was $363,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Included in the consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was merger-related expense, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $5.6 million, $2.8 million, and $1.3 million, respectively. Included in consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $3.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our revenue derived from customers located outside North America was 47% and 45%, 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.

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.

 

•

Number of Customers. We define our number of customers at the end of a particular quarter as the number of customers generating subscription revenue at the end of the quarter. We believe the number of customers is a key indicator of our market penetration, the productivity of our sales organization and the value that our products bring to our customers. We classify our customers by including them in either premium or volume offerings. Our premium offerings include our premium Video Cloud customers (Enterprise and Pro editions), our Zencoder customers (other than Zencoder customers on month-to-month contracts and pay-as-you-go contracts), our SSAI customers, our Player customers, our OTT Flow customers, our Video Marketing Suite customers and our Enterprise Video Suite customers. Our volume offerings include our Video Cloud Express customers and our Zencoder customers on month-to-month contracts and pay-as-you-go contracts.

As of June 30, 2019, we had 3,761 customers, of which 2,350 used our premium offerings and 1,411 used our volume offerings. As of June 30, 2018, we had 3,936 customers, of which 2,204 used our premium offerings and 1,732 used our volume offerings. Our go-to-market focus and growth strategy is to expand our premium customer base, as we believe our premium customers represent a greater opportunity for our solutions. Volume customers decreased in recent periods primarily due to our discontinuation of the promotional Video Cloud Express offering. As a result, we have experienced attrition of this base level offering without a corresponding addition of customers. We expect customers using our volume offerings to continue to decrease in 2019 and beyond as we continue to focus on the market for our premium solutions.

 

•

Recurring Dollar Retention Rate. We assess our ability to retain customers using a metric we refer to as our recurring dollar retention rate. We calculate the recurring dollar retention rate by dividing the retained recurring value of subscription revenue for a period by the previous recurring value of subscription revenue for the same period. We define retained recurring value of subscription revenue as the committed subscription fees for all contracts that renew in a given period, including any increase or decrease in contract value. We define previous recurring value of subscription revenue as the recurring value from committed subscription fees for all contracts that expire in that same period. We typically calculate our recurring dollar retention rate on a monthly basis. Recurring dollar retention rate provides visibility into our ongoing revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the recurring dollar retention rate was 90% and 99%, respectively.

 

•

Average Annual Subscription Revenue Per Premium Customer. We define average annual subscription revenue per premium customer as the total subscription revenue from premium customers for an annual period, excluding professional services revenue, divided by the average number of premium customers for that period. We believe that this metric is important in understanding subscription revenue for our premium offerings in addition to the relative size of premium customer arrangements. As our Starter edition has a price point of $199 or $499 per month, we disclose the average annual subscription revenue per premium customer separately for Starter edition customers and all other premium customers.

 

18

•

Backlog. We define backlog as the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied, excluding professional service engagements. We believe that this metric is important in understanding future business performance. As of June 30, 2019, the total backlog for subscription and support contracts was approximately $134.2 million, of which approximately $107.6 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2018, the total backlog for subscription and support contracts was approximately $109.4 million, of which approximately $86.3 million was expected to be recognized over the next 12 months.

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 our products.

Video Cloud is offered in two product lines. The first product line is comprised of our premium product editions. All premium editions include functionality to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices, with higher levels of premium editions providing additional features and functionality. Customer arrangements are typically one year contracts, which include a subscription to Video Cloud, basic support and a pre-determined amount of video streams, bandwidth, transcoding and storage. We also offer gold support or platinum support to our premium customers for an additional fee, which includes extended phone support. The pricing for our premium editions is based on the value of our software, as well as the number of users, accounts and usage, which is comprised of video streams, bandwidth, transcoding and storage. Should a customer’s usage 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. Our volume editions target small and medium-sized businesses, or SMBs. The volume editions provide customers with the same basic functionality that is offered in our premium product editions but have been designed for customers who have lower usage requirements and do not typically require advanced features and functionality. We discontinued the lower level pricing options for the Express edition of our volume offering and expect the total number of customers using the Express edition to continue to decrease. Customers who purchase the volume editions generally enter into month-to-month agreements. Volume customers are generally billed on a monthly basis and pay via a credit card.

Zencoder 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 exceed the contractual entitlements, the contract will provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the contractual entitlements. Zencoder customers are considered premium customers other than Zencoder customers on month-to-month contracts or pay-as-you-go contracts, which are considered volume customers.

SSAI is offered to customers on a subscription basis, with varying levels of functionality, usage entitlements and support based on the size and complexity of a customer’s needs.

Player is offered to customers on a subscription basis. Customer arrangements are typically one-year contracts, which include a subscription to Player, basic support and a pre-determined amount of video streams. We also offer gold support or platinum support to our Player customers for an additional fee, which includes extended phone support. The pricing for Player is based on the number of users, accounts and usage, which is comprised of video streams. Should a customer’s usage exceed the contractual entitlements, the contract will provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the contractual entitlements.

 

19

OTT Flow is offered to customers on a subscription basis, with varying levels of functionality, usage entitlements and support based on the size and complexity of a customer’s needs. Customer arrangements are typically one-year contracts.

Video Marketing Suite and Enterprise Video Suite are offered to customers on a subscription basis in Starter, Pro and Enterprise editions. The Pro and Enterprise customer arrangements are typically one-year contracts, which typically include a subscription to Video Cloud, Gallery, Brightcove Social (for Video Marketing Suite customers) or Brightcove Live (for Enterprise Video Suite customers), basic support and a pre-determined amount of video streams or plays (for Video Marketing Suite customers), viewers (for Enterprise Video Suite customers), bandwidth and storage or videos. We also generally offer gold support or platinum support to these customers for an additional fee, which includes extended phone support. The pricing for our Pro and Enterprise editions is based on the number of users, accounts and usage, which is comprised of video streams or plays, viewers, bandwidth and storage or videos. Should a customer’s usage exceed the contractual entitlements, the contract will provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the contractual entitlements, or will require the customer to upgrade its package upon renewal. The Starter edition provides customers with the same basic functionality that is offered in our Pro and Enterprise 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 Starter edition may enter into one-year agreements or month-to-month agreements. Starter customers with month-to-month agreements are generally billed on a monthly basis and pay via a credit card.

All SSAI, Player, OTT Flow, Video Marketing Suite and Enterprise Video Suite customers are considered premium 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 priced either on a fixed fee basis with a portion due upon contract signing and the remainder due when the related services have been completed, or on a time and materials basis.

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, or CDN, 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. 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.

Cost of revenue increased in absolute dollars from the first six months of 2018 to the first six months of 2019. In future periods we expect our cost of revenue will increase in absolute dollars as our revenue increases. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue could fluctuate from period to period depending on the number of our professional services engagements 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.

 

20

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 expand the sale of our product offerings within our existing customer base, build brand awareness and sponsor additional marketing events. Accordingly, we expect sales and marketing expense to continue to be our most significant operating expense in future periods. 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. General and administrative expenses also include the costs associated with professional fees, insurance premiums, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. Over the long term, we believe that general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue will decrease.

Merger-related. Merger-related costs consisted of expenses incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 of $2.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively, as part of the acquisition of the online video platform assets of Ooyala Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries, or Ooyala and costs related to the transition of Ooyala customers to the Company’s technology.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other expense consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and foreign exchange gains and losses.

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 U.S. net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2018. We maintain net deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to our foreign subsidiaries.

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 is recognized as expense over the respective stock option and restricted stock award service periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $1.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $2.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. 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 revenue, 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. 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 revenue and expenses generally increase in value when translated into U.S. dollars. 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.

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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other

 

21

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, leases, income taxes, business combinations, intangible assets and goodwill to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.

We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019. Refer to Note 14 for further information on our critical accounting policy relating to leases.

Other than the adoption of the new leases standard, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2018.

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, 2018, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2019.

Other than the changes to the accounting for leases under ASC 842, we believe that our significant accounting policies 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, 2018.

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, 2018.

Overview of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Total revenue increased by 14%, or $5.9 million, in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to an increase in subscription and support revenue of 19%, or $7.0 million, primarily related to the acquired Ooyala customers. Substantially all of the revenue from the Ooyala acquisition is subscription and support revenue. This increase was offset by a decrease in professional services and other revenue of 29% or $1.1 million. Professional services and other revenue will vary from period to period depending on the number of implementations and other projects that are in process. In addition, our revenue from premium offerings grew by $6.1 million, or 15%, in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenue from premium customers was also primarily due to the Ooyala acquisition. 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 $937,000, or 4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in revenue. Our ability to continue to maintain our overall gross profit will depend primarily on our ability to continue controlling our costs of delivery.

Loss from operations was $7.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, we had $21.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $8.1 million from $29.3 million at December 31, 2018, due primarily to $3.9 million of cash used in operating activities, $3.3 million for the acquisition of Ooyala, $2.4 million in capitalized internal-use software costs and $400,000 in capital expenditures. These decreases were offset by proceeds from exercises of stock options of $1.8 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, revenue increased by $5.9 million, or 14%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in revenue from our premium offerings, which consists of subscription and support revenue as well as professional services and other revenue. The increase in premium revenue of $6.1 million, or 15%, is partially the result of a 7% increase in the number of premium customers acquired in the Ooyala acquisition. Premium customers increased from 2,204 at June 30, 2018 to 2,350 at June 30, 2019. In the three months ended June 30, 2019, volume revenue decreased by $216,000, or 18%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, as we continue to focus on the market for our premium solutions.

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, subscription and support revenue increased by $7.0 million, or 19%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily related to the 7% increase in the number of premium customers from the Ooyala acquisition. Premium customers increased from 2,204 at June 30, 2018 to 2,350 at June 30, 2019 and the average annual subscription revenue per premium customer increased 7% during the three months ended June 30, 2019. In addition, professional services and other revenue decreased by $1.1 million, or 29%, compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year. Professional services and other revenue will vary from period to period depending on the number of implementations and other projects that are in process.

For purposes of this section, we designate revenue by geographic regions based upon the locations of our customers. North America is comprised of revenue from the United States, Canada and Mexico. International is comprised of revenue from locations outside of North America. Depending on the timing of new customer contracts, revenue mix from a geographic region can vary from period to period.

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, total revenue for North America increased $2.9 million, or 13%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. In the three months ended June 30, 2019, total revenue outside of North America increased $3.1 million, or 16%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenue from international regions is primarily related to increases in revenue in Asia Pacific and Europe.

Cost of Revenue

 

		Three Months Ended June 30,

Cost of Revenue		Amount				Percentage of Related Revenue				Amount				Percentage of Related Revenue				Amount				%
		(in thousands, except percentages)
Subscription and support		$	19,381				43	%		$	13,125				35	%		$	6,256				48	%
Professional services and other			2,228				83				3,493				92				(1,265	)			(36	)
Total		$	21,609				45	%		$	16,618				40	%		$	4,991				30	%

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, cost of subscription and support revenue increased $6.3 million, or 48%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase resulted primarily from increases in network hosting services, content delivery network, third party software integrated with our service offering, and maintenance expenses of $3.2 million, $1.6 million, $486,000 and $409,000 respectively. These increased primarily due to incremental costs from the Ooyala acquisition. There were also increases in partner commissions, amortization of capitalized internal-use software development, and employee-related expenses of $378,000, $255,000, and $159,000 respectively. These increases were offset by a decrease in intangible amortization expense of $106,000. The decrease in intangible amortization expense is due the ending of useful life in the second half of 2018 of acquired technology intangible assets, partially offset by incremental intangible amortization from the Ooyala acquisition.

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, cost of professional services and other revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 36%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease corresponds to a decrease in contractor expense of $1.2 million.
