SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
contains “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements include any expectation of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; factors that may affect our operating results; statements related to adding employees; statements related to potential benefits of acquisitions; statements related to future capital expenditures; statements related to future economic conditions or performance; statements as to industry trends and other matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts or statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “plan,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
and the risks discussed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, filings. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
may include statements about:• | our ability to achieve profitability; |
• | our competitive position and the effect of competition in our industry; |
• | our ability to retain and attract new customers; |
• | our ability to penetrate existing markets and develop new markets for our services; |

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

As described in Note 13, the Company implemented a significant accounting policy upon the adoption of Accounting Standards (“ASC 326”). As of September 30, 2020, other than the changes to the accounting for credit losses, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on
Update (“ASU”) 2016-13,

the year ended December 31, 2019, have not changed.2. 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.

Revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was approximately $7.4 million and $46.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not recognize a material amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods.
The assets recognized for costs to obtain a contract were $10.7 million as of September 30, 2020 and $5.9 million as of December 31, 2019. Amortization expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to costs to obtain a contract was $2.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Amortization expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to costs to obtain a contract was $1.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to Future Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2020, the total aggregate transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations for subscription and support contracts was approximately $144.2 million, of which approximately $109.6 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 2024.
3. 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, trade accounts receivable and unbilled 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. Please see Note 13 for more detail on how the Company assesses credit risk for trade accounts receivable and unbilled trade accounts receivable under ASC 326.
4. 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.5. 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 of $5.0 million under an existing line of credit, as described in Note 11.
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 September 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily the result of the Company’s netborrowings
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.

per Share The Company calculates basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share includes the effects of the assumed exercise of any outstanding stock options and the assumed vesting of shares of restricted stock awards, where dilutive. The following outstanding common shares have been excluded from the computation of dilutive net income (loss) per share as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, because such securities are anti-dilutive.

9. Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $154 and $171, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $597 and $521, 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.12
The Company has provided a
valuation
allowance against its remaining U.S. net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
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 September 30, 2020, 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.
11. 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 September 30, 2020.
In March 2020, the Company borrowed $10.0 million on the Line of Credit in anticipation of any operating cash needs in light current market rates.
of COVID-19. In
June 2020 the Company repaid $5.0 million on the Line of Credit. The effective interest rate for the amounts borrowed on the Line of Credit was 4% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020. The Line of Credit matures in . The fair value of these borrowings, net of amounts paid, which are classified as Level 2, approximates their carrying value at September 30, 2020 as the instrument carries a variable rate of interest whichapproximates

North America is comprised of revenue from the United States, Canada and Mexico. Revenue from customers located in the United States was $25,549 and $23,162 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue from customers located in the United States was $72,511 and $67,534 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
As of
September
30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, property and equipment at locations outside the U.S. was not material.
13. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2016-13, which requires
measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 326 using the transition method introduced by ASU 2016-13. The
adoption of ASC 326 did not result in an adjustment to the estimated allowance as of December 31, 2019.Under ASC 326, the Company changed its policy for assessing credit losses to include consideration of a broader range of information to estimate credit losses over the life of its financial assets. As of
September
30, 2020, the financial assets of the Company within the scope of the assessment comprised trade accounts receivable (“AR”) and unbilled trade accounts receivable. Unbilled trade accounts receivable (“UAR”) is reflected in Other Current Assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $2.3
million and $2.0
million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019
, respectively
.
The Company uses the aging method to estimate its expected credit losses on AR and UAR. In order to estimate expected credit losses, the Company assessed recent historical experience, current economic conditions and any reasonable and supportable forecasts to identify risk characteristics that are shared within the financial asset. These risk characteristics are then used to bifurcate the aging method into risk pools. Historical credit loss for each risk pool is then applied to the current period aging as presented in the identified risk pools to determine the needed reserve allowance. In the absence of current economic conditions and/or forecasts that may affect future credit losses, the Company has determined that recent historical experience provides the best basis for estimating credit losses. As of September 30, 2020, the Company estimates the life of its AR
as 50-60 days.
This estimate is based on the Company’s historical experience for days sales outstanding (“DSO”).The information obtained from assessing historical experience, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts were used to identify risk characteristics that can affect future credit loss experience. The historical analysis yielded one material risk factor, the geographical location of the customer. Specifically, historical experience showed that AR that was due from customers in the Asia Pacific region had experienced more credit losses than the other geographic areas listed in Note 12. Europe and Japan had significantly less credit loss experience when compared to Asia Pacific while North America’s credit loss experience was commensurate with the proportion of total AR that North America’s AR comprised. There were no other significant risk characteristics identified in the review of historical experience.
The Company’s assessment of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts included an assessment of customer industries affected
by COVID-19. Based
on available information, the Company identified the following customer industries14
as being significantly affected
by COVID-19, in
no particular order: restaurants, hospitality, tourism, sports, travel and consumer goods. The Company assessed the relevant and supportable information available and estimated and recorded approximately $0.2 million increase in the provision for credit losses due to COVID-19. The
Company will continue to assess the COVID-19 risk
to its AR for the duration of the pandemic.The following details the changes in the Company’s reserve allowance for estimated credit losses for AR for the period:

Estimated credit losses for UAR were not material.
Estimating credit losses based on risk characteristics requires significant judgment by the Company. Significant judgments include, but are not limited to: assessing current economic conditions and the extent to which they would be relevant to the existing characteristics of the Company’s financial assets, the estimated life of financial assets, and the level of reliance on historical experience in light of economic conditions. The Company will have to continually review and update, when necessary, its historical risk characteristics that are meaningful to estimating credit losses, any new risk characteristics that arise in the natural course of business, and the estimated life of its financial assets.
14. Restructuring
During the first half of 2020, 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 incurred approximately $and $1.7 million, respectively, in restructuring charges during the three and nine months ended post-employment benefits and are reflected in the as follows: $1.1 million – Research and Development; $138 - General and Administrative; $51 – Cost of subscription and support: and $23 – Sales and Marketing. As of 30, 2020

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q
and our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019. Company Overview
We are a leading global provider of cloud-based services for video. We were incorporated in Delaware in August 2004 and our headquarters are in Boston, Massachusetts. Our suite of products and services reduce the cost and complexity associated with publishing, distributing, measuring and monetizing video across devices.

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 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. Brightcove Video Marketing Suite, or Video Marketing Suite, is a comprehensive suite of video technologies designed to address the needs of marketers to drive awareness, engagement and conversion. Brightcove Enterprise Video Suite, or Enterprise Video Suite, is an enterprise-class platform for internal communications, employee training, live streaming, marketing and ecommerce videos.
We also have a number of modular solutions for customers, including Brightcove Zencoder, or Zencoder, which 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.

Our philosophy for the next few years will continue to be to invest in our product strategy and development, sales, and 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.
go-to-market
As of September 30, 2020, we had 616 employees and 3,381 customers, of which 2,267 used our premium offerings and 1,114 used our volume offerings. As of September 30, 2019, we had 596 employees and 3,720 customers, of which 2,362 used our premium offerings and 1,358 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 $136.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $143.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily related to incremental revenue from the Ooyala acquisition that was completed on April 1, 2019 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in sales of our premium offerings to both new and existing customers. Our consolidated net loss was $7.8 million and $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Included in the consolidated net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was merger-related expense, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $5.8 million, $6.7 million, and $2.6 million, respectively. Included in consolidated net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was merger-related expense, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of acquired intangible assets of $8.1 million, $4.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
16
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, our revenue derived from customers located outside North America was 45% and 48%, 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.

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 2020 and beyond as we continue to focus on the market for our premium solutions.• | Recurring Dollar Retention Rate |

COVID-19
Update While the implications of
the COVID-19 pandemic
remain uncertain, we plan to continue to make investments to support business growth. We believe that the growth of our business is dependent on many factors, including our ability to expand our customer base, increase adoption of our product offerings within existing customers, develop new products and applications to extend the functionality of our products and provide a high level of customer service. We expect to invest in sales and marketing to support customer growth. We also expect to invest in research and development as we continue to introduce new products and applications to extend the functionality of our products. We intend to maintain a high level of customer service and support which we consider critical for our continued success. We also expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses to support our business and to maintain the infrastructure required to be a public company. We expect to use our cash flow from operations and, if necessary, our credit facility to fund operations.See the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A below for further discussion of the possible impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic
on our business.Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations
Revenue
Subscription and Support Revenue
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.
18
Zencoder is offered to customers on a subscription basis, with either committed contracts or 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 contracts or contracts, which are considered volume customers.

All Brightcove Beacon, Brightcove Campaign, SSAI, Player, OTT Flow, Video Marketing Suite and Enterprise Video Suite customers are considered premium customers.
Professional Services and Other Revenue
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.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
19
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
Sales and Marketing
from small, medium-sized and enterprise
customers, as well as changes in the productivity of our sales and marketing programs.General and Administrative
Merger-related
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense from our credit facility, 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, 2019.
20
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 grant date 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 September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded $6.7 million and $4.5 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 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, income taxes, business combinations, intangible assets and goodwill to be our critical accounting policies and estimates.
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, 2019, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2020.Results of Operations
As described above in
“COVID-19
Update”, the ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic, outbreak or other public health crisis on our results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the current COVID-19 pandemic
or other public health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent the further spread, among others. Accordingly, we cannot fully predict the extent to which our business and results of operations will be affected; however we expect the COVID-19 pandemic
to continue to impact our operations in several ways. Our discussion of these risks is detailed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included under Part II, Item 1A below.21
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 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-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

Overview of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Total revenue increased by 3%, or $1.7 million, in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to an increase in subscription and support revenue of 2%, or $914,000, primarily due to an increase in revenue from our premium offerings. The increase was also due to an increase in professional services and other revenue of 37%, or $736,000. Professional services and other revenue will vary from period to period depending on the number of implementations and other projects that are in process. Our revenue from premium offerings increased by $1.7 million, or 4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. 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 $1.9 million, or 6%, in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in costs of revenue. Our ability to continue to maintain our overall gross profit will depend primarily on our ability to continue controlling our costs of delivery.
Income from operations was $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a loss of $2.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019. This is primarily due to a decrease in costs of revenue and merger related expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.
As of September 30, 2020, we had $30.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $7.6 million from $22.8 million at December 31, 2019, due primarily to $8.9 million of cash provided by operating activities and $5.0 million in net proceeds from debt. These increases were offset by $5.1 million in
capitalized internal-use software
costs, and $2.2 million in capital expenditures.22

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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, total revenue for North America increased by $2.6 million, or 10%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. In the three months ended September 30, 2020, total revenue outside of North America decreased by $961,000, or 4%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in revenue from international regions is primarily related to decreases in revenue in Asia Pacific.

In the three months ended September 30, 2020, cost of subscription and support revenue decreased by $951,000, or 6%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease resulted primarily from the transition of acquired Ooyala customers to our technology. Specifically, there were decreases in employee-related expenses, maintenance, third party software costs, partner commissions, intangible amortization, and contractor expenses of $305,000, $152,000, $152,000, $142,000, $133,000 and $124,000, respectively. These decreases were offset by an increase in network hosting services of $266,000.
In the three months ended September 30, 2020, cost of professional services and other revenue increased by $735,000, or 45%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019. This increase corresponds to increases in professional services and other revenue and the related increases in contractor expense and employee-related expenses of $634,000 and $212,000, respectively.

It is likely that gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, will fluctuate quarter by quarter due to the timing and mix of subscription and support revenue and professional services and other revenue, and the type, timing and duration of service required in delivering certain projects.

Overview of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
Total revenue increased by 5%, or $6.8 million, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to an increase in subscription and support revenue of 6%, or $7.4 million, primarily due to the acquired Ooyala customers and, to a lesser extent, due to an increase in revenue from our premium offerings. 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 8% or $610,000. Professional services and other revenue will vary from period to period depending on the number of implementations and other projects that are in process. Our revenue from premium offerings grew by $6.9 million, or 5%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. 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 $6.8 million, or 9%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 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 $6.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $14.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This is primarily due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in marketing expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue increased by $6.8 million, or 5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 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, driven by customers obtained as part of the Ooyala acquisition. The increase in premium revenue of $6.9 million, or 5%, is primarily the result of a 6% increase in average annual subscription revenue per premium customer during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, volume revenue decreased by $123,000, or 4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as we continue to focus on the market for our premium solutions.

The overall gross profit percentage was 61% and 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Subscription and support gross profit increased by $7.4 million, or 9%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. It is likely that gross profit, as a percentage of revenue, will fluctuate quarter by quarter due to the timing and mix of subscription and support revenue and professional services and other revenue, and the type, timing and duration of service required in delivering certain projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents.
Our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2020 were held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $16.4 million and $14.0 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries in international locations, including subsidiaries located in Japan and the United Kingdom. These earnings can be repatriated to the
United States tax-free but could
still be subject to foreign withholding taxes.Nine Months Ended September 30, |

Accounts receivable, net.
Our accounts receivable balance fluctuates from period to period, which affects our cash flow from operating activities. The fluctuations vary depending on the timing of our billing activity, cash collections, and changes to our allowance for doubtful accounts. In many instances we receive cash payment from a customer prior to the time we are able to recognize revenue on a transaction. We record these payments as deferred revenue.
Cash flows provided by operating activities.
Cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net loss adjusted for
certain non-cash items
including depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, the provision for bad debts and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $8.9 million. The cash flow provided by operating activities primarily resulted from the net losses of $7.8 million adjusted for net non-cash
charges of $13.6 million and changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $3.1 million. Cash provided by operating activities increased compared to the same period in 2019 as a result of an improvement in days sales outstanding in trade accounts receivable, the improvement in our operating results and increases in deferred revenue and accrued expenses, offset by an increase in prepaids and other current assets.28
Cash flows used in investing activities.
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $7.3 million, consisting primarily of $5.1 million for the capitalization
of internal-use software
costs and $2.2 million in capital expenditures to support the business. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to consideration paid in 2019 related to the Ooyala acquisition.Cash flows provided by financing activities.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $5.8 million, consisting of proceeds from debt, net of repayments. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is due to net borrowings of $5 million, offset by a decrease in proceeds from exercise of stock options.
Credit facility availability.
On December 14, 2018, we entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with a lender, or the “Loan Agreement”, providing for up to a $30.0 million asset based line of credit, or the “Line of Credit”. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are secured by substantially all of our assets, excluding our 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, we 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. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit as of September 30, 2020.We assessed the effect we
believe COVID-19 might
have on our liquidity and believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and the capital available under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next 12 months. On March 25, 2020, we borrowed $10.0 million on our line of credit in anticipation of any operating cash needs in light of COVID-19. In
June 2020 we paid back $5.0 million of the borrowings. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we
have not had to use any of the borrowings to fund operations. The effective interest rate for the amounts borrowed on the Line of Credit was 4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Line of Credit matures in December 2021.Net operating loss carryforwards.
As of December 31, 2019, we had federal and state net operating losses of approximately $161.8 million and $82.4 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, through 2039. We had federal and state net operating losses of approximately $23.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which are available to offset future taxable income, if any, indefinitely. We had federal and state research and development tax credits of $7.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively, which expire in various amounts through 2039. Our net operating loss and tax credit amounts are subject to annual limitations under Section 382 change of ownership rules of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
In assessing our ability to utilize our net deferred tax assets, we considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based upon the level of our historical U.S. losses and future projections over the period in which the net deferred tax assets are deductible, at this time, we believe it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. Accordingly, we have provided a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal commitments consist primarily of obligations under our leases for our office as well as content delivery network services, hosting and other support services. Other than these lease obligations and contractual commitments, we do not have commercial commitments under lines of credit, standby repurchase obligations or other such debt arrangements.
Our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2019 are summarized in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2019.29

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements We do not have any special purpose entities or
off-balance
sheet arrangements.Anticipated Cash Flows
We expect to incur significant operating costs, particularly related to services delivery costs, sales and marketing and research and development, for the foreseeable future in order to execute our business plan. We anticipate that such operating costs, as well as planned capital expenditures will constitute a material use of our cash resources. As a result, our net cash flows will depend heavily on the level of future sales, changes in deferred revenue and our ability to manage infrastructure costs.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Our future working capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of our revenue growth, our introduction of new products and enhancements, and our expansion of sales and marketing and product development activities. To the extent that our cash and cash equivalents, and cash flow from operating activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through bank credit arrangements or public or private equity or debt financings. We also may need to raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to acquire businesses, technologies and products that will complement our existing operations. In the event funding is required, we may not be able to obtain bank credit arrangements or equity or debt financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. Market volatility resulting from the
COVID-19
coronavirus pandemic or other factors could also adversely impact our ability to access capital as and when needed.ITEM 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include primarily foreign exchange risks, interest rate and inflation.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments meeting fair value disclosure requirements consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amount.
Foreign currency exchange risk
Our results of operations 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. Except for revenue transactions in Japan, we enter into transactions directly with substantially all of our foreign customers.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $7.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively, of receivables denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We also maintain cash accounts denominated in currencies other than the local currency, which exposes us to foreign exchange rate movements.
In addition, although our foreign subsidiaries have intercompany accounts that are eliminated upon consolidation, these accounts expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange rate fluctuations on short-term intercompany accounts are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations under “other income (expense), net”, while exchange rate fluctuations on long-term intercompany accounts are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), as they are considered part of our net investment.
Currently, our largest foreign currency exposures are the euro and British pound primarily because our European operations have a higher proportion of our local currency denominated expenses, in addition to the Japanese Yen as result of our ongoing operations in Japan. Relative to foreign currency exposures existing at September 30, 2020, a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates would expose us to losses in earnings or cash flows or significantly diminish the fair value of our foreign currency financial instruments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we estimated that a 10% unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates would have decreased revenues by $4.2 million, decreased expenses by $2.5 million and increased operating loss by $1.7 million. The estimates used assume that all currencies move in the same direction at the same time and the ratio
of non-U.S. dollar
denominated revenue and expenses to U.S. dollar denominated revenue and expenses does not change from current levels. Since a portion of our revenue is deferred revenue that is recorded at different foreign currency exchange rates, the impact to revenue of a change in foreign currency exchange rates is recognized over time, and the impact to expenses is more immediate, as expenses are recognized at the current foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the time the expense is incurred. All of the potential changes noted above are based on sensitivity analyses performed on our financial results as of September 30, 2020.31
Interest rate risk
We had cash and cash equivalents totaling $30.3 million at September 30, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents were invested primarily in cash and are held for working capital purposes. We do not use derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce future interest income. Our effective interest rate on our Line of Credit was 4%, and we incurred approximately $51,000 and $160,000 in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. An unfavorable movement of 10% in the interest rate on the Line of Credit would not have had a material effect on interest expense.
Inflation risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2020, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures defined in Rules
13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated by and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are, from time to time, party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows based on the status of proceedings at this time.
ITEM 1A. |
RISK FACTORS |
You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, under the heading “Part I — Item 1A. Risk Factors,” together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. If any of such risks and uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could differ materially from the plans, projections and other forward-looking statements included in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report and in our other public filings. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. 32
The effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic have materially affected how we and our customers are operating our businesses, and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus disease, or travel restrictions, and mandated business closures, have adversely affected workforces, organizations, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, leading to an economic downturn and increased market volatility. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours.
COVID-19,
as a pandemic. The COVID-19
pandemic, which has continued to spread, and the related adverse public health developments, including orders to shelter-in-place,
As a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, beginning in March 2020 we temporarily closed our global offices, including our corporate headquarters, and all employees globally are required to work remotely until further notice. We have also suspended all company-related travel. We held our annual customer conference virtually in May, shifted our partner events to virtual-only experiences, and have cancelled other customer and industry events. We may deem it advisable to similarly alter, postpone or cancel entirely additional customer, employee or industry events in the future. All of these changes have disrupted or may disrupt the way we operate our business.Moreover, the conditions caused by the
COVID-19
pandemic can affect the rate of spending on software products and could adversely affect our customers’ ability or willingness to attend our events or to purchase our offerings, delay prospective customers’ purchasing decisions, increase pressure for pricing discounts, lengthen payment terms, reduce the value or duration of their subscription contracts, or increase customer attrition rates, all of which could adversely affect our future sales, operating results and overall financial performance.Our operations have also been negatively affected by a range of external factors related to the orders. These measures have caused, and are continuing to cause, business slowdowns or shutdowns in affected areas, both regionally and worldwide. If the
COVID-19
pandemic that are not within our control. For example, many cities, counties, states, and even countries have imposed or may impose a wide range of restrictions on the physical movement of our employees, partners and customers to limit the spread of COVID-19,
including physical distancing, travel bans and restrictions, closure of non-essential
business, quarantines, work-from-home directives and shelter-in-place
COVID-19
pandemic has a substantial impact on the productivity of our employees and partners, or a continued substantial impact on the ability of our employees to execute responsibilities, or a continued and substantial impact on the ability of our customers to purchase our offerings, our results of operations and overall financial performance may be harmed.The duration and extent of the impact from the
COVID-19
pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of the virus, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, the disruption caused by such actions, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers, partners and vendors. If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business will be harmed.To the extent the
COVID-19
pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, under the heading “Part I — Item 1A. Risk Factors”.Our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could make them difficult to predict.
Our quarterly operating results are tied to certain financial and operational metrics that have fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future. As a result, you should not rely upon our past quarterly operating results as indicators of future performance. Our operating results depend on numerous factors, many of which are outside of our control. In addition to the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, the following risks could cause our operating results to fluctuate:
• | our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers; |
• | the rates at which our customers renew; |
• | the amount of revenue generated from our customers’ use of our products or services in excess of their committed contractual entitlements; |
• | the timing and amount of costs of new and existing sales and marketing efforts; |
• | the timing and amount of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure; |
33
• | the cost and timing of the development and introduction of new product and service offerings by us or our competitors; |
• | impacts on the national and global economies due to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; |
• | system or service failures, security breaches or network downtime. |
We use a data center and cloud computing services facilities to deliver our services. Any disruption of service at these facilities could harm our business.
We manage our services and serve all of our customers from cloud computing services facilities, such as Amazon Web Services, as well as one physical data center facility. While we control the actual computer and storage systems upon which our software runs, and deploy them to these facilities, we do not control the operation or availability of these facilities.
The owners of these facilities have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to transfer to new facilities, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so.
Any changes in third-party service levels at these facilities or any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems at or related to these facilities that affect our services could harm our reputation and may damage our customers’ businesses. Interruptions in our services might reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits to customers, subject us to potential liability, and cause customers to terminate their subscriptions or harm our renewal rates.
These facilities are vulnerable to damage or service interruption resulting from human error, intentional bad acts, security breaches, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, war, terrorist attacks, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures, global health emergencies such as the attack at third-party data center facilities used by us. By September 20, 2014, we had restored the services impacted by the attack. We contacted federal law enforcement authorities regarding the attack and cooperated with them. We also conducted an assessment of our internet service providers and data center providers, potential future vulnerability to malicious activity, and the sufficiency of our infrastructure to withstand and recover rapidly from such attacks. While this matter did not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, there can be no assurance that such incidents will not occur again, and they could occur more frequently and on a more significant scale. The occurrence of a natural disaster or an act of terrorism, or vandalism or other misconduct, or a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems could result in lengthy interruptions in our services.
COVID-19
pandemic, and similar events. For example, on September 18, 2014, we suffered a service disruption resulting from a distributed denial-of-service
denial-of-service
Fluctuations in the exchange rate of foreign currencies could result in currency translation losses.
We currently have foreign sales denominated in Australian dollars, British pounds sterling, Euros, Japanese yen and New Zealand dollars and may, in the future, have sales denominated in the currencies of additional countries in which we establish or have established sales offices. In addition, we incur a portion of our operating expenses in British pounds sterling, Euros, Japanese yen and, to a lesser extent, other foreign currencies. Any fluctuation in the exchange rate of these foreign currencies may negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results. Global economic events, such as the
COVID-19
pandemic, have and may continue to significantly impact local economies and the foreign exchange markets, which may increase the risks associated with sales denominated in foreign currencies. We have not previously engaged in foreign currency hedging. If we decide to hedge our foreign currency exposure, we may not be able to hedge effectively due to lack of experience, unreasonable costs or illiquid markets.Our stock price has been volatile and is likely to be volatile in the future.
The market price of our common stock has been and is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this report and other factors beyond our control. Market prices for securities of early stage companies have historically been particularly volatile. Some, but not all, of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:
• | fluctuations in our quarterly or annual financial results or the quarterly or annual financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us or relevant for our business; |
• | changes in estimates of our financial results or recommendations by securities analysts; |
• | failure of our products to achieve or maintain market acceptance; |
• | changes in market valuations of similar or relevant companies; |
34
• | success of competitive service offerings or technologies; |
• | changes in our capital structure, such as the issuance of securities or the incurrence of debt; |
• | announcements by us or by our competitors of significant services, contracts, acquisitions or strategic alliances; |
• | regulatory developments in the United States, foreign countries, or both; |
• | market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; |
• | litigation; |
• | additions or departures of key personnel; |
• | investors’ general perceptions; and |
• | changes in general economic, industry or market conditions. |
In addition, if the market for technology stocks, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.
Failure of our customers to pay the amounts owed to us, or to pay such amounts in a timely manner, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
If any of our significant customers have insufficient liquidity, we could encounter significant delays or defaults in payments owed to us by such customers, and we may need to extend our payment terms or restructure the receivables owed to us, which could have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition, including impacting the timing of revenue recognition. Any deterioration in the financial condition of our customers will increase the risk of uncollectible receivables. Global economic uncertainty, such as the economic instability and market volatility caused by the global
COVID-19
pandemic, could also affect our customers’ ability to pay our receivables in a timely manner or at all or result in customers going into bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, which could also affect our ability to collect our receivables.ITEM 5. |
